"Rose's post about Obama"


Good morning, Rose! ~ and good letter yesterday!
 
One thing though, when you said:  I am sure I could find many more things making Obama look like the AC, but he is married, and we know the bible said that the AC has no interest in women....
 
What does Scripture actually say?  It says the AC will have no REGARD for women (does not say "interest") 
 
Having REGARD could mean a lot of things -- but IMO, it certainly does not mean he will not have any "interest".  
 
When I looked up the word, "regard" at BibleGateway.com it brought up other Scriptures which leads me to understand that "regard" means he'll have no RESPECT for women ..... in other words, while women the world over are flinging themselves at him (think back to Elvis Presley days!) ~ then, instead of sleeping with all these females so in love with him -- that he will instead be soooo in love "with himself" ~ with the main objective of continuing to stay in the LIMELIGHT..... therefore, no regard for women. 
 
Then, someone here once (man, wish I could remember the person's name & letter!!)  once suggested that it could mean that he will not allow any female to have CONTROL over him -- you know, no female's gonna' tell HIM what to do!! 
 
But certainly I do not get the picture any where whatsoever that the AC himself will be gay....... although he'll certainly open the floodgates and allow gay lifestyles to flourish (per Luke 17... when it's time for Jesus to come!)   AND..... sigh,.... which just happened on the very day he took office!!
 
For years now, I have looked at Europeans as possibly becoming the AC...... but I will admit, I think Obama deserves a close look -- and in fact, I think he's got all the qualifications..... not to mention the worldwide worship & popularity!!!   Did you catch that even the Israeli President the other day said that we have "elected the leader of the WHOLE WORLD"...??!!
 
Like one of my friends said, if Obama is NOT the AC, then the REAL one is going to have to be a DOOZIE to top him!!
 
I admit -- I struggle at times with fear -- of what is to come ..... of how, if given enough time, he is going to turn this country under!!   In SHORT ORDER, we will be 1930's Germany!! 
 
But then, I have to remind myself that the Lord does not give us the spirit of FEAR!! ~ but of power and of love, and a SOUND MIND!!
 
Further, we are also told to not be carried away with THIS LIFE'S CARES!!  ~ lest the Lord comes upon us unexpectedly like a thief.   [ref. Luke 21:34]
 
Sooo.... we just keep on keeping on, praying, praying!  Praising, praising!  Thanking Him .... at least up till now we've been blessed to live in the home of the free!   AND.... we forever whisper (some days, "SHOUT!")  to heaven for Jesus to come soon!!!
 
:D
Blessings & Maranatha!
