At least that's the message contained in the email I received from both my brother and a cousin.
This will make you re-think : A Trivia question in Sunday School : How long is the beast allowed to have authority in Revelations ? Guess the Answer?
Revelations Chapter 13 tells us it is 42 months, and you know what that is? Almost a four-year term to a Presidency. All I can say is Lord Have Mercy on us.!!!!!!
According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is:
The anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything ..
Is it OBAMA??
I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to repost this as many times as you can!
Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet...do it! I refuse to take a chance
on this unknown candidate who came out of nowhere.
I have had it up to my eyeballs from family and acquaintances, so I fired off the following:
I have read and re-read the thirteenth chapter of the Revelation of John, and nowhere can I find where it says that the antiChrist will be a Muslim man in his 40's.
Obama is NOT a Muslim! I am astonished at the fear people have of a Christian man, who happens to have a funny name, just because he is black.
Since McCain has supported Bush’s policies 95% of the time just in the past year, and we now see where Bush’s policies have led us, I would much rather trust a person with the vision to try to get us out of the mess we are in instead of one who would be giving us four more years of the same or worse.
While I support Obama, I do not see him as having "massive Christ-like appeal." I also have not heard him promise world peace. He has, instead promised to open a dialogue with those nations who are our declared enemies, which could go much further toward finding ways of dealing with our differences besides bombing their countries to smithereens as Bush/McCain would seem to advocate.
This misguided piece you forwarded appears to give Obama a great deal of power that does not seem possible, given the checks and balances of our Constitution. If the 50+ years of the United Nations organization has not managed to unite the world into a common cause, I fail to see how one lone American president can do that in forty-two months.
I really would appreciate it if you did not forward the mistaken notions of fearful people who are so opposed to Barack Obama. I could, in turn, forward to you actual statements and accounts of the actions of John McCain which, to my mind, make him far more fearsome than Obama.
Take for instance, his complete reversals on things he has said in the past: he voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban. He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0 from the League of Conservation Voters last year. Three years before he argued on the campaign trail that U.S. forces could be in Iraq for 100 years in the absence of violence, he decried the very concept of a long-term troop presence.
He was against the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest American during wartime until he was for it. He thought Jerry Falwell was an agent of intolerance until he didn't. He was against a long-term presence in Iraq before he was for it. There is much documentation on McCain’s complete reversal of views -- in the last six months alone -- on FISA, warrantless eavesdropping and executive power. I could go on and on.
If you listen to people besides Limbaugh, Hannity, and O’Reilly, you can learn all kinds of things about him: his infamous temper, having called his Senate colleagues outrageous names, prompting even fellow Republicans to say they were fearful of having a President with such a temper, demeaning his wife with one of the worst putdowns possible, leaving his first wife while she was recovering from a terrible car accident then marrying the beer distribution heiress, his ownership of multi-million dollar properties while telling those caught in the mortgage crunch to go get a second or third job and skip their vacations. This is all documented.
No, I cannot support John McCain, because I want this great country to get out of the war that is driving our precarious economic crisis, out of the health care mess and the mortgage debacle. I want someone who looks to the future and not to continuing Bush’s failed policies. I want someone who is willing to seek new solutions, and I don’t care if he or she is black, brown, red, or purple. I want someone who has new ideas. I want my grandchildren to be able to live in a country that is not owned by China, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. We have a 9 TRILLION dollar debt, owing most of that to those three countries. We have gone from being the number one creditor nation to being the number one debtor nation.
The ridiculous suggestion that Obama could be the anti-Christ pales in comparison to the reality of John McCain. Obama is no more the anti-Christ than I am. I would urge you to set aside your prejudices and really listen to what Obama is saying. Do some research on the internet about the ideas of both men. I think you will find that McCain will be Bush’s third term, despite his protestations to the contrary, and that Obama is willing to try new things, to look for new solutions to our problems. McCain is anchored in the past. In many ways he is still in the Vietnam war. Obama inspires the young people, who are literally our future, to get involved in government.
I’m sure you think I have gone over to the "dark side." I prefer to think I have educated myself by reading extensively, listening to different perspectives on the issues that confront us daily, and have made an informed decision on which candidate offers us a way out. This country is in real trouble, and I have heard nothing from John McCain that gives me any hope that he will change anything that has gotten us into this mess.
But if you choose to continue to forward more anti-Obama screeds, I can forward three documented accounts of McCain’s follies for each one.
