^^^^ I don't put my faith in any man, I told some at work today that he will not save the world nor is worth crying over and this and that, he is not Jesus he is one man, why are you guys acting like Jesus came back to save us with Obama, read this below from the Illuminati page I read....


Jesus told us we would not know the hour or the day, but he told us to take note of the signs of the times and be ready! The bible lists all the signs that would occur before the second coming of Christ and it seems, they are already here! And unfolding in further speed and intensity.

Those who believe in the Book of Revelation in the King James version of the Holy Bible and other religious and/or superstitious People are being intentionally led into "millenium fever" so that they will offer no opposition to the new world order while they calmly await the workings of what they believe is the hand of God. After all, Who can oppose the bringing to fruition of the inspired prophetic Revelation of God? Apparently these People don't even read or understand the teachings of the Bible they purport to follow. The Bible says, paraphrased but accurate, that when you think he is coming he won't be here. The Bible says he will come like a thief in the night... even the elect will be fooled. Why do you think their plan calls for a charismatic world leader to be presented to the world as the Messiah?


For what it's worth, I feel that Obama may play a role in a "possible" lead up to what could well be a tribulation. I am not saying he is THE antichrist himself, but it will be interesting to see whether this man (and other leaders) maybe a valuable doorway through which such an ultimate world leader may arise....the stage has to be set for such a man and it seems to me, the world is ripe to embrace such a figure and accept him. How he goes about it, will be another story. Will we recognise him for who he is at the time? Or will we miss the real one until he has already established himself on the world stage to such an extent that he'll have a powerful influence and hold over our leaders. I almost wonder whether such a man will work behind the scenes and remain unrecognised until the blindfolds start falling off. Obama may simply be a useful instrument.

Who does that sound like to you? The Charismatic guy who will be presented to the world as the messiah? I might be wrong but that sounds like him to me right? I mean I need to find Jesus now and FAST for this, I am seriously awake now and turned on to things I have not been before, coincidence? I think not, but maybe I am wrong and he is going to do well, but his cult following just scares me, people crying as if Jesus came back and treating it like that! I am seriously scared now, the world is dumb IMO.


Yes, it does sound compelling, particularly in the times we live in and the manner in which people have received and responded to him....I too saw them weeping and some in a state of near ecstacy.

I am sure the Antichrist, whoever he will be, will be a man that will arrive when the world is ripe for such a leader. A man of "peace". A man of "answers". Perhaps a charismatic figure with a power of speech that could convince even the most steadfast Christian (if they are not careful). Someone who will appear to have the answers to the world's problems - a "christlike" figure, taking the place of God and even performing counterfeit miracles! A man that will appear to "unite". Such a convincing man he'll be, that I suspect even the faithful will be curious and possibly moved by his speech, abilities/miracles - just as Eve was with the serpent.

Apparently he will set up a peace treaty. But it will be a false peace. Once this man is recognised for what he really is, and the scales fall down, he will no doubt be a tyrant so horrific, that he'll make Hitler look like a choir boy. I'd say that the tribulation will be a time, that will be the most dramatic and horrific time in human history. But we are not to fear, since the worse things get, the more we ought to raise our eyes and our hearts to heaven in the awaiting of Christ, who will come again to restore all things.

Whether this occurs in our times, or the not too distant future? I am not certain. It would indicate by the signs in the bible that we are indeed living in the end times, but again, only time will tell. However, it is no mystery that there is a battle going on daily and the increase and acceptance of sin on a worldwide scale is undeniable. Surely, with the abominations committed daily, being an affront to our God, there cannot be much time left to continue offending Him so grievously? His patience seems endless, but we know from the bible that there comes a time when God will act. There are only so many warnings before that day will come.

This is why God wants us to examine our lives, our consciences and uproot sin, so he can more fully live within us, and us within Him and should death take us by surprise, or these things come upon us, that we shall be ready to be received by Him. Since the reward of remaining faithful to God, is so great, as to be beyond our imagination. What temporary pleasure in this world is worth the loss of what Christ is preparing for those who love Him?
