Ron Reese,I continue to find it very troubling that you will not compare God's words concerning the first beast, the antichrist, with the present reality concerning Barack Obama. You continue to proclaim louder and louder and insist that a square peg be pounded into a round hole. If you would take the time to compare scripture with reality you would find that Obama cannot be the antichrist. If you read my post to Kevin Heckle from yesterday you will see that Kevin has proved without a doubt that Obama is the second beast...... the false prophet............... and not the antichrist.Humor me and please perform a little reality check or test.........1) The bible says that the antichrist arises from the bottomless pit which makes him a spirit being. And the bible says that the false prophet is a man. Obama is a man and not a spirit being so he can't be the antichrist.2) The bible says that the antichrist has a complex and complete affiliation with a worldwide organization. God describes this organization in Rev.17, 18 in such exacting and great detail that anyone with insight recognizes that it is the Roman Catholic Church. Is Obama affiliated with the RCC ?........absolutely not.3) The bible says that the antichrist will be one of seven kings of this organization and he will also be the eighth king of this organization. Is Obama one of seven kings (in this case popes) of this organization?..........absolutely not.4) The bible says that the antichrist was, is not, and yet is. Meaning that he was alive, he died, and rises from the bottomless pit as a spirit being. Has Obama died?....No Has he risen from the dead?...No The bible says that it has been appointed once for a man to die. Obama is a man, he is alive, he has not died.5) The bible says that when the antichrist ascends from the bottomless pit that the whole world will marvel (be totally amazed) at this person who was alive, died and has now appeared to have come alive again. Can Obama fulfill this or the above qualifications that God details of the antichrist?Absolutely NOT!!!!These are biblical facts that cannot be easily disputed or disputed at all. I think it would be very unwise for one to force fit Obama into these verses. Obama would have to fulfill all of descriptions God outlined totally....... and he doesn't even match or fulfill one of them.With these biblical facts in mind your 7 year timetable built around Obama is in error. You may get lucky with your April 11th date in that the bible says the rapture will happen some time in the spring but that is all.The rapture will be the start of the nearly 7 year timetable and the nearly 7 year reign of the antichrist. God says in Rev.6:17 right after He removed His bride from the earth at the rapture during the great worldwide earthquake that.......the great day of my wrath has come.My preview of coming events..............An image of a risen pope indwelled by Satan himself will arise from the rapture ashes to proclaim to the world what just happened to millions of people and start his 7 year reign. He will formulate a 7 year plan (covenant) with the world to put the world back on a solid economic and social / religious footing. Through the course of 42 months Satan disguised as the risen pope (John Paul II) will form a one world religion and a one world government. He will through the black pope (Jesuit organization) break the world into ten areas. He will assign 10 new leaders (Jesuits/ Masons) control over these ten areas. All this will be done...nicely, sweetly, covertly, under the radar until he has a complete power strangle hold on the planet. This will take him 42 months. He will have the full support of the new dictator of the United States.... the false prophet.......Barak Hussein Obama. And all the power of the US military complex will be at the antichrist's disposal. The false Catholic invented Mary will appear in apparitions all over the planet spreading her lies and re-enforcing the antichrist's plans.After these initial 42 months are over (as it says in Daniel 9 and 11 and Rev.13:6) sweet and nice go away, the mask comes off so to speak and the antichrist i.e. Satan shows his true colors. He then blasphemes against God, blasphemes God's name, God's tabernacle and those who dwell in heaven. He declares himself as the true God and demands to be worshipped as such. The sacrifices and offerings of the Catholic Mass offered thousands of times daily around the planet to God in heaven.... will be canceled. The antichrist, this demonic pope who has declared himself as the true God will say that he has come down to earth from heaven as the scriptures have foretold to rule and reign. So the daily sacrifices and offerings that use to go to heaven will no longer be necessary seeing that God is now on earth. During the first 42 months the Jews will be allowed to re-build their temple as well. They will be performing their daily offerings and sacrifices and these will be terminated also when the antichrist declares himself to be the true god of the universe and sets up a talking image of himself in the Jewish temple.Now that the mask has come off after the initial 42 months all hell breaks loose....literally. Barak Hussein Obama as the antichrist's enforcer will demand that all people worship the antichrist and the talking statue of the antichrist. Obama will demand that all take the mark, name or number of the antichrist / pope / Satan or they will be killed. Obama will perform great feats and signs and will even make lightning (Barack) come down from the sky .......but only if he is accompanied by the antichrist who we know is Satan himself. From what I can gather about the second beast (Obama) from other parts of the bible he will be a terrible, vicious, heartless killer. Throw in thousands of UFO's and countless beasts that were imprisoned in the earth (fallen angels, demons) and yes that pretty much equals "all hell breaking loose".We all know what happens beyond this point with the persecution, mass death and all the trials and tribulations of the great tribulation that Satan, disguised as the pope, and Obama the false prophet dispense on the planet. And all the trumpet and bowl judgments that God Himself dispenses on the wicked left behind after the rapture so I won't go into the gory details. Obviously there is much more to the end time scenario but I did hit the high points.Ron, if you would care to address or refute the biblical facts I listed above (points 1-5) I would love to hear it. I know in my heart you mean well but I believe you inadvertently took the wrong path when you based your whole case on Obama being the antichrist.Love, blessings, and respect to you Ron..... you're a super soldier in Christ's army....but in my opinion just a little off trackJohn B
