Obama as the Anti-Christ?

I was driving home this evening, talking with a friend on my cell phone about the condition of America, as we face the Tuesday elections.

He's a bright man, a father and a follower of Jesus. We talked about the condition of America - from  a conservative Christian evangelical perspective. Though he didn't say it, you could almost hear him think: "Man, what if Obama gets elected on Tuesday? What it do to me and mine? Why is God asleep?"

The not-so-subtle undertone is one that implies: "This guy's worse than we could EVER have thought Bill Clinton would or could be. Maybe he's the Anti-Christ!!"

Maybe he isn't. Maybe he is.

And what if he is? Hang on to that thought for a second...

Then I arrived home and went to my mailbox. I openend up my non-political mail (if I could find it in the mountain of US Senate and US Congressional candidate mailers) and read this from a Christian travel agency: "The economy is in shambles. Radical Muslims are trying to kill us. Belief in God is being ridiculed. What the heck is going on?"

Hmmm...well, maybe something so cool that we have no idea right now.

Back to the Obama-as-the- anti-Christ thing: What if the absolute worst thing that can be thought of an Obama Presidency DOES come to be? (Same sex marriage, national health care, international banking taking over America and financial numbers being issued to people, blah, blah, blah...

So what?

Here we stand. Here God is.

The truth is that like an intergalactic gravity that pulls and pushes stars and planets, God's determined actions will occur.

There is no fear. There is no "oh my God" when God acts. It's as simple as getting up the next day and serving the living God in a very dead world. The contrast has never been so complete.

Now what if the doomsayers are wrong?

Well, we've got a Democrat President with a kinda-funny name for the next four years.

Sort of puts it in perspective, doesn't it?

PS: My money's still on McCain/Palin...why else would Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose say last night on PBS that they don't  really know what Sen. Obama believes....sounds like they're making a possible exit strategy for Tuesday night, late, when he implodes. Do they know something we don't?

If so, pretty impotent anti-Christ, tee hee.

The first time I heard his name, the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I was overcome by a chill I had never experienced in my whole life. As I sit hear now still unable to believe this has come to pass, I am overwhelmed by an usual sense of loss and hopelessness. I feel as though I have just lost my best friend and I want to scream, why??? But I know why. Look at our world. How much longer would our heavenly father allow all of this to continue. There is only one solution, the end. I now understand why the last 8 years had to happen. The last 8 years was the preparation for the imposter. How else would he who deceives be so well received and accepted. I watch the faces of those in the crowd. They don't just applaud him. They worship him. Do they have any idea of what is to come. I fear and I know I should not, but how can I not. This is what we as Christians have waited for, right? The return of our father to claim his church. For me personally, I guess I have never really contemplated what it would mean when the time came. I have children, grandchildren, a boy in a wheel chair. I guess I never thought or rather hoped I would not be here to experience the pain and suffering spelled out so clearly in the book of Revelation. Is Obama the anti-christ, only God knows for sure. What we do know is that this day does definitely show signs of the beginning of the end of life as we once new it. God have mercy on us all.

I, too, do not have any idea what Mr. Obama believes. It all seems like cleverly crafted spin in everything he says, with no substance at all. And because I don't do surface relationships very well, someone who is all surface and no substance just sends all my warning bells off. Only time will tell what he is all about, IF he gets elected. Regardless, my hope and faith are not in men but in the One who created. It sure helps me sleep a lot better at night in these troubled times.

You are very correct! You know I really do think Obama is going to implode, the polls have been proping him up for months. But, if, only if, he does win, it will not be a landslide. It will be like a Bush v Gore 2000 night. Im with you, my money is still on McCain/Palin. This will be an extremely tight race.
