Barack Obama: Savior or Anti-Christ?

Believers knew this was coming.  The days of the false prophets and anti-Christ.

I’m not a professional Bible scholar, so I can’t speak definitively on the subject of “anti-Christs.”  What I’ve been able to find so far on the topic doesn’t seem to indicate that there will be ONE anti-Christ, but many.  They are also referred to as false prophets.  God warns us of their coming, their intent, and what happens to them and their followers.

2Ti 3:1-9 NASB But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.  (2)  For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,  (3)  unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,  (4)  treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,  (5)  holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.  (6)  For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,  (7)  always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.  (8)  Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.  (9)  But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes’s and Jambres’s folly was also.

2Ti 3:13 NASB But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

Tit 1:10-11 NASB For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,  (11)  who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach for the sake of sordid gain.

2Jn 1:7 NASB For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

1Jn 2:18 NASB Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

This brings us to the question at hand:  Barack Hussein Obama.  Savior and Christ, or anti-Christ and False Prophet?

How will we know who the savior is?  John 10:3-4 tells us that the followers of Christ will know His voice.

Joh 10:3-4 NASB “To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.  (4)  “When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

I’ve been listening to Mr. Obama ever since he became a candidate for president, and I can tell you unequivocally that I do not “know his voice,” and I wouldn’t follow him anywhere.

John also describes what makes a good shepherd.  He is one who will lay down/sacrifice his life for his sheep.  There you have another disqualifying attribute of B-HO.  How many of his associates has he thrown under the bus for traction?

Next we look at deniers of Christ.

1Jn 2:22 NASB Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

1Jn 4:2-3 NASB By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;  (3)  and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

Barack’s statement that we are not a Christian nation, and his refusal to proclaim Christ as his savior literally scream “false prophet.”

Now, what would further identify B-HO as an anti-Christ?  Signs and false teachings seem to be the order of the day.

Rev 16:13-14 NASB And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs;  (14)  for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.

Now, I can’t say I’ve seen any frogs come out of B-HO’s mouth, or that I’ve seen him perform any signs (unless getting into the White House without any documentation counts), but I’ve heard MANY things that I know to be blatant lies and un-truths come from the hole below his nose.  So, we have at least one of the two indicators of false prophet-ness present.

What happens next?  Well, when the REAL savior returns it won’t be pretty for those who refused or denied Him as savior.  Much less so for those who worked against Him to prevent people from accepting His grace.

Rev 20:10 NASB And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

I am not judging B-HO to be a/the anti-Christ.  I am merely pointing out what he is NOT.  The evidence does suggest that he could indeed be a false-prophet or an anti-Christ, but ultimately that is for God to decide and judge.

All this talk of fire and brimstone, lakes of fire, and torment aren’t very pleasant thoughts.  So to show you that God is not only just, but a merciful and loving God, I’ll leave you with this.  It is a warning to the non-believers and deceivers, and a message of hope for believers and those who don’t yet know but are seeking God.

Gal 6:7-9 NASB Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.  (8)  For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.  (9)  Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

Hang in there.  It’s going to get worse before it gets better.  But if you plant yourself in God, and share the fruits of the gift He has given us, the reward He has stored up for us will be well worth the price we pay to get it.  Just remember, the price for the gift has already been paid.  All you have to do is accept it.

Pray for Obama.  Pray for his salvation.  If that isn’t going to happen, pray Psalm 109:8.

Newspaper: Obama is, of course, greater than Creator God

Newspaper deifies American president, dismisses Christ

This messianic image of Obama was highlighted by ABC's Jake Tapper

An editorial in a Danish newspaper, citing both foreign and domestic policies pursued by President Barack Obama, is deifying the American political leader.

“Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus – if we have to play that absurd Christmas game,” opined the unsigned editorial yesterday in Politiken, which boasts of being Denmark’s largest newspaper, in publication since 1884.

The English translation is provided online by Julian Isherwood.

It continued, “But it is probably more meaningful to insist that with today’s domestic triumph, that he has already assured himself a place in the history books – a space he has good chances of expanding considerably in coming years.”

The newspaper says Obama “is provocative in insisting on an outstretched hand, where others only see animosity.”

And while “his tangible results in the short time that he has been active – are few and far between,” his words “remain in the consciousness of their audience and have long-term effects.”

“He comes from humble beginnings and defends the weak and vulnerable, because he can identify himself with their conditions,” the newspaper said. (he who has made millions of dollars at the expense of the people he purports to serve “identifies with their conditions?” You’re kidding, right?) “And no we are not thinking of Jesus Christ, whose birthday has just been celebrated – but rather the President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama.”

The editorial noted that “the idea was naturally that the comparison between Jesus and Obama” would be made. “If such a comparison were to be made, it would, of course, inevitably be to Obama’s advantage.”

The editorial, written on the occasion of a legislative vote in favor of Obama’s plan for a health care takeover by the government, cited “the right of every American not to be financially shipwrecked when their health fails” as well as the “biggest ever financial support package in America’s history, a major disarmament agreement and the quickest-ever re-establishment of American reputation.”  (What a crock.  Socialists in America, and the socialists in Europe hold the European governments up as the model that we should follow.  Do they understand that the only way they can afford their own socialist spending is that they don’t have to pay for their own defense?  When we can no longer afford to protect them because of our social spending, what will become of them?)

“On the other hand, we have Jesus’ miracles that everyone still remembers, but which only benefitted a few. At the same time, we have the wonderful parables about his life and deeds that we know from the New Testament, but which have been interpreted so differently over the past 2000 years that it is impossible to give an unequivocal result of his work,” the newspaper said.  (It was only the creator of the world paying the price for YOUR sins before you were even born.  To bad you can’t see the results of that.  There’s still time…)

“Well we all knew that this day would come,” wrote Jeremy Wiggins on the American Family Association blogs.

“We knew that someone on the left side of the political spectrum would ultimately try to compare Barack Obama to Jesus,” he wrote.

“What I want to know is this: How is any comparison made between a person who has done NOTHING and someone who has done EVERYTHING? President Obama has bowed before kings, but Jesus will have kings bowing before Him, because HE is THE King of Kings. I guess the closest comparison I could come up with would be comparing Obama to Jesus is like comparing an ant to a skyscraper, not only is one VASTLY greater than the other, but they are not even in the same category to compare!” he wrote.

WND has reported on the multiple references and suggestions of Obama’s diety, including when British recording artist Sting said President Obama could be the answer to the world’s problems – the divine answer.

“In many ways, he’s sent from God, because the world’s a mess,” he said in interview with the Associated Press as the time.

Earlier, it was an associate editor at a college newspaper who wrote, “Obama is my Jesus.”

Maggie Mertens, the associate editor at the campus paper at Massachusetts’ Smith College, said, “Obama is my homeboy. And I’m not saying that because he’s black – I’m saying that in reference to those Urban Outfitters T-shirts from a couple years ago that said, ‘Jesus is my homeboy.’ Yes, I just said it. Obama is my Jesus.” (Poor, deceived person.  I can introduce you to the REAL Jesus…)

Her confession came in the Smithsophian’s commentary section recently under the headline: “I Will Follow Him: Obama As My Personal Jesus.”

“While you may be overtly religious and find this to be idol-worshipping, or may be overtly politically correct and just know that everything in that sentence could be found offensive, I’m afraid it’s true anyway,” she wrote.  (Blasphemy: an act of cursing or reviling God; irreverent behavior toward anything held sacred, priceless, etc.)

Also, an artist who planned to unveil a portrait of Obama in a Christ-like pose with a crown of thorns upon his brow canceled the event due to “overwhelming public outrage.”  (As it should be.  Why should Christians sit back and let our faith be defiled while all other faiths are handled with kid-gloves?  That includes atheism, because it is a religion as well.)

And it was Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan who declared last year that when Obama talks, “the Messiah is absolutely speaking.”

There also was the development during Obama’s campaign when a website called “Is Barack Obama the Messiah?” captured the wave of euphoria that followed the Democratic senator’s remarkable rise.

The site was topped by an Obama quote strategically ripped from a Jan. 7, 2008, speech at Dartmouth College just before the New Hampshire Primary in which he told students, “A light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote” for Obama.

The site includes this:

OBAMA BE THY NAME
THY CHANGE WILL COME
THY WILL BE DONE …
