America's Antichrist

In his first of three letters, the apostle John wrote this: "Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us." (1 John 2:18-19)

Though many folks correctly define the Antichrist as an extremely wicked man, they fail to realize that he'll be a master deceiver who will fool the world through his craftiness and cunning. He'll appear to the world as a man of peace who'll solve complex problems and settle disputes between nations.

He'll say all the right things and even perform miracles that will convince many that he's divine. But the facade will eventually come off and the world will find out who this man really is. However, by then it will be too late. If you have the misfortune to be around when he appears, you'll either be forced to obey him or you'll be gone. And when I say gone, I think you know what I mean.

Barack Obama isn't the Antichrist, although a lot of people believe that he is. Rather he's an antichrist who's one of many who've plagued the world throughout history. What is an antichrist? He's a con artist and a dangerous phony who passes himself off as someone he isn't. Though con artists aren't difficult to spot, they are if you ignore their resumes and allow yourself to be seduced by their charm.

Remember Adolf Hitler? He laid out his virulent anti-Semitism and bizarre worldview in Mein Kampf that was published in 1925. That was eight years before he was elected as the Chancellor of Germany in 1933. The German people had eight years to find out what a dangerous man Hitler was, and yet they ignored his past while succumbing to his hypnotic, messianic rhetoric.

Obama's sordid past was well known long before he ran for the presidency in 2007. He was a committed Marxist who was the protege of a communist named Frank Marshall Davis; he associated with terrorists such as Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn; his political career was boosted by a corrupt political-fixer named Tony Rezko; he embraced the racist ideology of Harvard professor Derek Bell and he was a member of Chicago's Trinity United Church that was pastored by the arch-racist Jeremiah Wright.  

Certainly, a lot of people have made mistakes in their lives and have associated with bad characters. If you do the research, you're likely to find bad people in the lives of many great world leaders throughout history. In that sense, Obama's no different.

But the difference with Obama is that he not only refused to change his worldview and disassociate himself from bad people, he concealed all that behind a phony facade that was created by his handlers to promote him as someone he isn't and never was. For example, he refers to himself as a Christian and yet Christians are often the targets of his insults and wrath.

Remember the famous crack he uttered in San Francisco during a campaign stop in 2007? He implied that conservative Christians are morons who cling to their guns and bibles during difficult times. That was the real Obama speaking rather than the phony one who delights in conning the socks off of his ignorant followers.

Who were targeted for abuse by the IRS? Conservatives. Who does the FBI now list as potential domestic terrorists? Conservatives. And what nation has been increasingly mocked, maligned and verbally threatened in recent years by the Obama administration and its media lackeys? Israel. Indeed, Barack Obama acts as though he's guided by the spirit of the Antichrist.

Biblical prophecy warns us that the real Antichrist will persecute Christians and Jews and put many of them to death. (Daniel 8:24, Revelation 13:7) Many of the previous antichrists throughout history have persecuted Christians and Jews, from emperors to kings to popes and ruthless dictators. You don't have to be a brain surgeon to figure out who's the spiritual inspiration behind those who persecute Christians and Jews. The apostle Paul identified him as "the god of this age". (2 Corinthians 4:4) He's also known as Satan.

Like the antichrists that John referred to in his first letter who never belonged to the early church, Barack Obama has never belonged to America. Remember when he initially balked at raising his right hand while being sworn in during his first inauguration in 2009? That said what a thousand words couldn't say concerning Obama's contempt for America.

Why did America get Obama as her 44th president? Because of God's divine judgment upon a wicked and adulterous generation. Wicked people get wicked leaders after their own evil hearts. The only way to change that is through repentance. Otherwise, who comes after Obama could even be worse, if you can believe that.
