AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:18 ¶ Children, it is the last hour [the end of this age]; and just as you heard that the antichrist is coming [the one who will oppose Christ and attempt to replace Him], even now many antichrists (false teachers) have appeared, which confirms our belief that it is the last hour. |
Bible Question: is barack obama the antichrist? |
Bible Answer: Terrasahaar: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. Some noteworthy christians have stated that President Obama, by his testimony, have convinced them President Obama is a christian. The Bible Answer Man being one that states this. There are some that are just as convinced that President Obama has Muslim beliefs. I think that the better way of responding to either side, is a Biblical response. God has placed, permitted, allowed Mr. Obama to be President of the United States. As is my christian responsibility I will pray for him. When President Obama does something that is not in line with what Scripture teaches I will email the White House and join in other groups that oppose his actions. When President Obama does something good I can praise him as well. President Obama is unlikely the anti christ Scripture speaks of. However anyone who is not a christian is in reality a anti christ. We should be very careful in so freely making such harmful remarks against President Obama. I have been very outspoken against President Obama, when he has made supportive efforts for homosexuality in the Military, and same sex marriage. Just to name a few issues. In the Old Testament Calamity is mentioned about 75 times. Most of the times calamity is mentioned in Jeremiah. Many times the Lord has said He brings on calamity for punishment, and this can mean death to large numbers of people and even complete Nations. I personally believe the United States is under the Judgement of the Lord. Just look at the "calamities" our nation has undergone in recent times and years. I have not noticed repentance in our nation. Perhaps theLord is trying to get our attention. Perhaps Good has allowed our leaders to be a messenger of warning calamity. Blessings. justme |
