Name some people you believe may be The Antichrist, and let's see if some of us can shoot down why they are not.

Personally, I've never myself believed that President Obama is the dreaded figure, but I can appreciate some of the reasons why some people say they think he is.

What's your take?
 
I don't have much of anything to add to this, but I am subscribing to the thread just because I'd like to see a few answers.

Remember, y'all - he's supposed to be beautiful. That kind of leaves Obama out. :lol:

Depending on one's personal take of the part of the verse in Daniel 11:37 in which it says (he shall not) "... regard the desire of women," Obama also does not fit that criterion, as he is married.

DANIEL CHAPTER 11 *(ORIGINAL 1611 KJV)

Still, though, some theologians, historians and eschatologists say that what is being referred to in that particular verse is that The Antichrist will be someone whom Hebrew women will not want to be the father of their messianic child — unlike the Hebrew women of Christ's time, and Mary in particular.

An interesting viewpoint, IMHO, that.
 
Obama. :lol: I'm sorry but every time I hear some whack job say that Obama is the antichrist, I just shake my head.
 
Gawd.. in this day and age too.

Me too. :popcorn2:

The abomination of desolation (also found in the link above to the 11th chapter of the Book of Daniel — verse 31) has not yet occurred. That's one of the reasons some of us Christians talk about the figure "in this day and age".

I don't question that there will be one - I only question that it's Obama. That's laughable. That's like "Donald Trump Running for President" laughable.
 
I thought that no one is supposed to know who the anti-christ is?
 
The abomination of desolation

There is no abomination of being desolated. It's the other way round. This verse is mistranslated. It should go like this:

"the abomination that leads to desolation"

And yes, this abomination is already here!

 
I'd throw my hat into the ring, if we were holding an election for the position.
 
Who says there is only one Anti-Christ?

Bill Maher, needs no introducton... needs no explanation.

Well, from my readings, you won't know who he is. It will be revealed at a later time. I think what Shart is doing is getting ideas of who you think it might be - if the antichrist has even been born. It's possible that he has not even been born yet.
 
The antichrist comes from Syria, right?
 
The world will not know until the Rapture takes place, so this is a moot point...
 
Attila The Hun raped more women than any man in history and killed almost as many men. Hitler not only for the actual killing but for actually believing he was doing the right thing. All North Korean leaders for their deliberate starving and murders of millions. African leaders for the massacre of millions while laughing. Leaders in middle east countries that sanction the murder of any persons objecting to their rule. And this one(?) Colonel Tibbets pilot of the ENOLA GAY or Truman for giving the order?
 
The 27 Characteristics of the AntiChrist

Know how to recognize the beast and not be swayed into believing that someone is
the AntiChrist who doesn't match the biblical characteristics.

EadsHome Ministries; eadshome.com

1. He comes from among ten kings in the restored Roman Empire; his authority will have similarities to the ancient Babylonians, Persians, and Greeks [Daniel 7:24; Rev 13:2 / Daniel 7:7]
2. He will subdue three kings [Daniel 7:8, 24]
3. He is different from the other kings [Daniel 7:24]
4. He will rise from obscurity…a “little horn” [Daniel 7:8]
5. He will speak boastfully [Daniel 7:8; Rev 13:5]
6. He will blaspheme God, [Daniel 7:25; 11:36; Rev 13:5] slandering His Name, dwelling place, and departed Christians and Old Testament saints [Rev 13:6]
7. He will oppress the saints and be successful for 3 ½ years [Daniel 7:25; Rev 13:7]
8. He will try to change the calendar, perhaps to define a new era, related to himself [Daniel 7:25]
9. He will try to change the laws, perhaps to gain an advantage for his new kingdom and era [Dan 7:25]
10. He will not be succeeded by another earthly ruler, but by Christ [Daniel 7:26*27]
11. He will confirm a covenant with “many”, i.e. the Jewish people [Daniel 9:27] This covenant will likely involve the establishment of a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem
[see Dan 9:27; Matt 24:15]
12. He will put an end to Jewish sacrifice and offerings after 3 ½ years and will set up an
abomination to God in the Temple [Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15]
13. He will not answer to a higher earthly authority; “He will do as he pleases”[Daniel 11:36]
14. He will show no regard for the religion of his ancestors [Daniel 11:37]15. He will not believe in any god at all [except for himself] [Daniel 11:37]
16. He will have "no regard for the desire of women": He will either be asexual or homosexual [Dan 11:37]
17. He will claim to be greater than any god [Daniel 11:37; 2 Thess 2:4]
18. He will claim to be God [2 Thessalonians 2:4]
19. He will only honor a “god” of the military. His whole focus and attention will be on his military. He will conquer lands and distribute them [Daniel 11:39*44]
20. His arrival on the world scene will be accompanied by miracles, signs and wonders [2 Thess 2:9]
21. Either he, or his companion [The False Prophet], will claim to be Christ [Matt 24:21*28]
22. He will claim that Jesus did not come in the flesh, or that Jesus did not rise bodily from the grave [2 John 7]. He will deny that Jesus is the Messiah [I John 2:22]
23. He will be worshipped by many people [Rev. 13:8]
24. He will hate a nation that initially will have some control over his kingdom, but he will destroy this nation [Rev 17:16*18]
25. He will appear to survive a fatal injury [Rev. 13:3; 17:8]
26. His name will be related to the number six hundred and sixty six—but not necessarily in an obvious fashion [Rev 13:17*18].
27. He will be empowered by the devil himself [Rev. 13:2]

Pretty much, yeah. That's wuzzup.

Syria and the defunct antiquated kingdom of Assyria are not the same thing.

I'm pretty sure that's an exegetical mistranslation, guy.

Am not dissing you, as it could be the truth, but all I've read seems to indicate that its a reference to The Passover of Moses' day, when the Hebrews were enslaved to the Egyptians.

It is a controversial point, I agree.

On the other hand, for everything that God has, Satan (and presumably his antichrist) has a counterfeit. God is a Trinity, the devil has his trinity (Satan, antichrist, and false prophet). God has his throne, and Satan has his. God's prophets vs. devil's false prophets, God's angels vs. Satan's demons. Godly marriage and (well, you guess what that would be).

Well said.

And whom does Satan hate the most — what people?

Me, I'm thinking that if a highly charismatic figure arises anywhere — the United States, the Middle East, Scandinavia, etc. — who openly advocates a policy of killing the firstborn son of every Jewish home, look out.

That rules out Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is charismatic only among his own people — not the international community, yes?
 
There is no one antichrist, anti-christ is mentioned Three times in the bible (first and second John) and it refers to anyone that rejects Jesus, all sorts of People, it isn't some sinister super villian as some fundementalists like to pretend.

<<<<< Raises Hand.....I'm one. See back in the day I bitch-slapped his ass and he didn't like it, as there wasn't anything he could do about it. Also because I pick on his minions. He hates being bullied.....for some reason he had a notion that he was the #1 bully. Until I punked him out in front of his hoard.

Michael was kool with it so.....he rode the boat ashore. :lol:

Bingo!

It's you Superfly.
