Everyone’s an Antichrist.

I have to laugh. I shouldn’t laugh because I AM religious and I DO believe the Antichrist is a real person – or is going to be a real person. Whatever.

But I most definitely find the speculation that Barack Obama is the Antichrist very amusing – in a somber way. I know that’s a bit of an oxymoron but that’s me to a T so I’m not going to try to make it make sense. (Do you like how I used double “to” and double “make” in the same sentence?)

I’m somberly amused because it’s amusing to me any time someone starts touting a main figure as an antichrist. Technically speaking, according to the bible, anyone who promotes doctrine that is contradictory to the bible IS an antichrist, albeit not The Antichrist. So lots of people are little antichrists and they don’t even know it. Most of them probably also don’t care. However, I find it a somber issue to proclaim Barack as the Antichrist because…

…he actually could be.

“Many Bible scholars speculate that [the Antichrist] will come from a confederacy of ten nations and/or a reborn Roman empire…” source

Confederacy of ten nations could also be a fancy way of saying “The Middle East” – where Barack was raised, in Qatar. There is also the fact that Barack is very pro-negotiations with Iran – the Antichrist will be singlehandedly responsible for bringing peace to Israel and if Barack were president AND successful negotiating said treaty, it would be nothing short of a miracle. Actually, it would be prophecy fulfilled.

Certainly, there is PLENTY of room to argue why Barack is NOT the Antichrist and I’m not here to say that he definitely is. What I am saying is that it’s possible and that it’s scary. Because, quite frankly, I’m not ready for the end of the world.

At this point, I’m not getting too worked up. If we give it a little more time, someone just as convincing as Barack will come along. After all, it’s not like there’s a shortage of candidates – for all we know, it’s David Hasselhoff.
