Kevin,I was ice fishing an Adirondack lake yesterday for lake trout so I was unable to get back to you with a timely reply to your post. Sitting out on that ice is a great place to clear one's mind and ponder on the things of the Lord while waiting for a tipup flag to redirect your attention back to the present.In my ice pondering, I wondered...... when I get home and read Kevin's reply to me will he still adamantly insist that Obama is the antichrist? Or, if my post would prompt him to take a closer look at God's words in Revelation 13. After reading your reply I was glad to see that you were not completely closed minded in your review but left a little wiggle room concerning the number of the beast.I think after providing you with more biblical proof today that you and hopefully many more will be forced to take a closer look at what God has shared with us.As Christians we have been force fed over the decades some aspects of scripture that have been ruled absolute and "poured in concrete" correct. One of these is that the number of the antichrist is 666. We have heard it proclaimed so often and for so long that no one questions it anymore. Obviously some wise Christian men decades ago must have proved this to be true. I am here to tell you that it was a wise "Satan" that dispensed this falsehood that permeates truth and reality today. Satan is the master of lies and he has pulled off a dozy with the 666 scam he has orchestrated to draw us off the true identities of the antichrist and false prophet.People like yourself who are brilliant researchers start their research based on a pre-conceived notion that they believe to be absolute when instead it is a false deception. Because of this false pre-conceived notion you thought you were proving without a doubt that Obama was the antichrist when in reality you proved without a doubt that Obama is the second beast the false prophet the "enforcer".I know.....now all the hair and defenses on the back of your neck are up and you want proof and lots of it for clarity on my grandeurs assertions. Not a problem, God's words tell it all. All I need do is list them. I will review some old ground from my first post and plow some new ground after in an attempt to be insightful with God's holy words on this matter.As I said before........In Revelation 13 God dedicates "exclusively" the first eight verses of the chapter to the first beast who we call the antichrist. He dedicates "exclusively" the last eight verses of the chapter to the second beast who we call the false prophet. Lets examine those last eight verses that describe the second beast who comes from the earth.11..Then I saw another beast (second beast) coming up out of the earth, and he (second beast) had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.12..And he (second beast) exercises all the authority of the first beast in his (first beast) presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.13..He (second beast) performs great signs, so that he (second beast) even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.14..And he (second beast) deceives those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast (first beast) who was wounded by the sword and lived.15.. He (second beast) was granted power to give breath to the image of the (first) beast, that the image of the (first) beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the (first) beast to be killed.16..He (second beast) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads...17..and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the (first) beast, or the number of his (first beast) name.18..Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the (second beast) beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.Kevin, you and I both agree that God was referring "exclusively" to the false prophet in verses 11-17. You say that God then for some reason changed His whole subject focus from the false prophet back to the antichrist in verse 18. I say that God completed His description of the false prophet in verse 18 and gave those who were wise from mankind a quiz to determine the identity of this second beast who we call the false prophet.The disparity and consequences between my viewpoint on verse 18 and yours is monumental ......in light of end times details. If I am right Obama is the false prophet and not the antichrist. The number 666 is a quiz number given to mankind by God so that a smart guy like you could figure who the false prophet would be. (as you so adeptly did) This means that the antichrist when the time comes will have some other number that is affiliated with him. If you're right.... then Obama is the antichrist.Let's see if your case holds water. In order for Obama to be the antichrist he would have to fulfill all the descriptions God gave of the antichrist in Rev.17.1) 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!!!!6) In Rev.13:18 God tells us that the number 666 is the number of a man. The antichrist is a spirit from the bottomless pit. So why would we mix apples and oranges and say that a man Barack Obama would be the antichrist who is a spirit? The answer is simple Satan lied to us through one of his demonic pastors or priests and millions have sworn to and continued this lie ever since.More proof that 666 is the number of the false prophet and not the antichrist.........When one reads Rev. 13 and 17 God gives us two separate puzzles or quiz's, one is a quiz to determine the identity of antichrist in Rev.17:9 and the other is a quiz to determine the identity of the false prophet in Rev. 13:18. He throws out a challenge to identify both players by saying....."Here is the mind who has wisdom" (the antichrist) and "Here is wisdom" ( the false prophet).When one solves both quiz's you of course come up with two different answers and two different identities or players as you would expect. If you came up with the same answer to both puzzles you would be off tract and making God look like a liar. A man (Obama) would have to be a risen spirit being and he is not. He would have to be king affiliated with the RACK and he is not. He would have had to die, and rise again from the bottomless pit but being that he is a man and is appointed once to die......he can't have risen from the pit.Bottom line Kevin......You and I and millions of other people have fallen to one of Satan's lies and deceptions.......as God said we would. That lie is that the number of the antichrist is 666 when in reality it is the number of the false prophet Barack Obama as you have proven without really knowing what you were proving thanks to some pre-conceived notion put in your / our head by one of Satan's minions. When one realizes that 666 is the number of a man that will become the false prophet all the other verses concerning the antichrist fit and no one has to try to pound a square peg in a round hole.If Satan can keep us focused on the wrong person becoming the antichrist (Obama) then God's scripture in Rev. 13:8 will be fulfilled...."All who dwell on earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Meaning that the true antichrist (risen image of pope indwelled by Satan) will slip in under the radar.....don't pay any attention to that man behind the curtain.... to deceive all but the ones written in the Book of Life. Isn't that what is happening today with most people doubling down on Obama being the antichrist. News flash.........He's NOT!!! Don't be deceived!!Fresh lake trout for diner Kevin......you're invited. I still think you're one of the good guys and not part of the deception so keep up the great work you are doing for the Lord. Just fine tune it a little.Blessings......John BE
