The discovery of the Acra last week is "a dream come true" for archaeologists, who have been speculating on the citadel's location for 100 years, the IAA said. The discovery of Acra comes at a delicate time, for it reveals the story of the Maccabees, Antiochus and the coming Antichrist. All this is understood once we connect the dots and see the parallels between the Grecian Empire at the time of the Maccabees harassing God's people and the Antichrist who is also from the same empire (Asia Minor) harassing God's people today.

“He has been very successful...”
“Very successful” still doesn’t meet the standard specified in the prophecy. You’re ignoring the clear words of the prophecy in order to try to force it to fit a predetermined candidate. That’s never going to yield good results.
There is a school of thought that suggests that the wookie isn't a wife.
“...he has been pretty successful”
“Pretty successful” is not equal to “successful in all he does”, so he doesn’t meet the standard laid out in the prophecy.
There’s no point to continuing any further than that, because you can’t push him over that hurdle, no matter how badly you wish you could call him the “antichrist”.
Not only has O been successful in advancing what is called an Abomination (homosexuality) in the Bible here in America, he has also been successful in promoting homosexuality worldwide!
A very intriguing statement, perhaps a pun/clue, made by Jesus himself and recorded in Matthew 24:15 "Therefore when you see the 'abomination [Obamanation] of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand)...
You first have to define what you are talking about when you say, “successful”. What you seem to think should or should not be consider successful, certainly isn’t what THE boogieman, bent on destruction of the Christian world, would consider successful.
“You first have to define what you are talking about when you say, “successfulâ€.”
No, the phrase “successful in all he does” is so simple a child could understand it. Only someone who has some agenda would try to dispute that.
For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness is revealed - the one who brings destruction. He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call god and every object of worship. He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.
Do you not remember that I told you about all this when I was with you? And you know what [the Holy Spirit] is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes. For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one who is holding it back [the Holy Spirit] steps out of the way. Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the splendor of his coming. (2 Thess 2:3-8)
“Preview of coming attractions...”
You have to look at Obama’s agenda of “fundamentally changing America” as whatever it takes to overthrow America’s freedom, values, and allies while enabling America’s enemies. In that perspective, Obama has been very successful.
Successful in one thing, or even many things, does not equal “successful in all he does”. Obama has had many failures, so he clearly does not meet the standard specified in Scripture.
“A very intriguing statement, perhaps a pun/clue, made by Jesus himself and recorded in Matthew 24:15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination [Obamanation] of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand)...”
That’s a poor translation you are using, because the actual last clause translates as “let he who has wisdom understand”. A wise person would know that the phrase “the holy place” in Scripture always refers to the Temple or Tabernacle, and so Jesus’ words must be interpreted in light of that, and also in light of the Scriptures in Daniel that He referenced. They clearly don’t refer to a man half a world away from the Temple passing laws about homosexuality.
Are you trying to argue that Obama hasn’t been successful at his game of deception?
I’m not sure why I have to keep explaining that “very successful” is still a failure, according to Scripture, because it falls short of “successful in all he does”.
I think I have been very clear about what I’ve been saying. Obama does not meet the standard “successful in all he does”. I could cite many things he has failed at, so he does not pass the test.
It doesn’t matter that you can cite one thing, or many things that he has been successful at, because that is not what Scripture tells us to look for. It says he will be “successful in whatever he does”, and that description does not apply to Obama.
> Obama has had many failures
Oh?
Really? You really can’t remember any of his failures?
Remind me
Fine, even though I think you must be being facetious at this point. I’ll cite one failure, since that’s all we need to say he fails the test in that prophecy:
Obama pushed for national background checks for all firearms purchases after the Newtown shooting, and he failed miserably.
Remember that now?
Thank you for the reminder and no, I’m not being facetious.
I cut and pasted it right from the NKJV. Based on this, your other statements and misquotes, further discussion is rather pointless.
[[He will become very strong, but not by his own power [by Satan’s power]. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people. He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. ]]
I’m not saying dear leader will be the anti-Christ- but let’s consider a couple of htings that hsow he very well could be
1: The antichrist will rise to prestige suddenly and out of nowhere- and the people the world over will feint with excitement
1b: Dear leader- an ineffective unknown senator gets catapulted to prestige and prominence because the MSM so heavily promotes him as the next best thing to Christ practically- and he becomes president and people the world over are seen weeping with joy, erecting monuments to him, naming buildings and bridges for him DESPITE the fact that he was a do nothing senator and had zero experience running anything really. I was absolutely stunned that the world reacted the way they did when he was elected
2: The AntiChrist will gain unprecedented power over the world
2b: dear leader is setting himself up for a possible run for “President of the UN” or “President of the UN’s climate change force” where he will very likely attempt to thwart our nation’s sovereignty by forcing this nation to commit to international climate change regulations- There may very well be a war as he and the UN make a push to subdue the US, or he may simply force our country to become part of this climate scam before he leaves office- the GOP certainly won’t do anything to stop him from over-reaching his authority.
This brings up another point- the Anti-Christ will be given unprecedented powers- Dear leader has unprecedented power because NOONE opposes him because he is black and liberal and that scares the right to no end
you said “will succeed in whatever he does”- Dear leader has succeeded in everything he has gone for=- with hardly ANY opposition
3: The AntiChrist will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people.
3b: Dear leader welcomes Islam, has even stated he will not tolerate anyone who opposes islam, and has gone after Christians like no other president in history to my knowledge. He Hates Israel- He Hates Christians and everything we stand for and makes no bones about voicing his hatred of us
3c: The AntiChrist will be vicious in his hatred towards Christianty, but before he comes out fully against them he will pretend he likes them- deceiving many- Dear leader has many who call themselves Christians believing that he is a Christian and is on their side- but those in the know can see right through him and see the seething hatred he thinly veils.
4: The AntiChrist will cause deceit to prosper,
4b: I’ve said it right along that I believe ‘climate change’ is the number one tool that world leaders (one world government) and the antiChirst WILL use to pound the people into both submission and willing compliance- Everything will become so expensive due to carbon taxes, fines, regulations etc that people will not be able to afford the basics of life, food, heat, fuel, medical supplies etc. The people will have to face a tough choice to save their families- suffer and die? Or take the mark of the beast so that they can get ‘free essentials’ from the government. Parents watching their children die from hunger, freezing to death, lack of drinkable water etc will have an agonizing choice to make- most unfortunately WILL run to the government , take the mark, in order to get their lifesaving relief.
“He will cause astounding devastation”
The devastation that IS coming from climate change regulations, fines, taxes etc will be humongous- it will be world-wide- it will plunge this world back into the stone ages as people will simply not be able to afford anything- We very likely will not even have electricity- and if so it will be far too expensive to afford- Dear leader has made it very clear he wants prices to be so high on both electricity and fuel that people are forced off of it- just like they did with cigarettes- made it too expensive to afford
5: The antichrist He will cause deceit to prosper,
5b: The greatest lie ever, aside from Satan convincing people God doesn’t exist, or that God didn’t really mean what He says, is ‘man-caused’ climate change- and it is simply stunning how fast this lie has spread throughout the world, and how readily most people gobble the lie up as thought it were life sustaining nutrients- The world has been deceived by a powerful delusion- The truth is so obvious- so readily available to all, yet they either ignore it, or don’t believe it-
The amount of CO2 I n atmosphere is just 0.0036% of the atmosphere- that one fact alone shows that it can’t possibly be the cause of climate change- there simply is NOT enough CO2 in our atmosphere to do ANYTHING In regards to climate change
The second most devastating fact that refutes ‘man-caused’ climate change lie is the fact that CO2 always rises 800-1400 years AFTER temperatures rise- unequivocally proving CO2 does not cause global warming or cooling-
Yet the world is so blind that they can not accept the truth- they have fallen hook line and sinker for this colossal lie that man is to blame
There are bad times ahead- and while dear leader may not be the actual anti-Christ- I believe he is setting the stage for the Anti-Christ to rise to power by preparing all the tools necessary for him or her to pound this world into submission and compliance
