This was interpreted by people with like predispositions to your own.

There is no capitalizing of the term antichrist and the addition of the worth THE before antichrist is likely self serving to that predisposition.

This scripture, in no way, was written to foretell the coming of some antichrist person in their far distant future and to state such would be frivolous indeed.

Re: Could Barak Obama be the Anti Christ?

From what I can recall from the scriptures there are a lot of similarities in Obama and what the Bible says the AC will be. First he will use deception will stand on a peace platform and be out of the east. You cant get much more anti-christ as the Muslim faith. IF he proves to be Muslim.

When will we find out for sure if he is a Muslim? Do you think he will take the oath on the Bible or the Koran. I hear if he really is Muslim and takes the oath on the Bible he will be killed. I also heard that the Muslims say it is ok to lie to the infideal, so him lying to not be Muslim to gain power is ok, but then sooner or later he has to show us his hand of cards that has been dealt to him.

Well, I'll be the first to say, I do not like Obama. Deffinatly did not vote for him, think he is a horrible train wreck for the country.

BUT....... I think only the third of your examples here are Obama specific.

Every modern polotician uses deception. and every one of them tries to convince the people that they can bring peace sometime during there term.

Even bush who plainly declared after 911 that the war could go on for many years, believed and promoted the beliefe that his actions would ultimatly bring peace.

Could Obama become UN leader (Prime minister??) after his (hopefully only 4 year) term as US president? maybe. Could he then fit the bill more closely? probably.

Most modern english translations translate the verse containing "the Antichrist". Most modern englsh translations use the oldest manuscripts to translate, older ones than King James had to work with, not "predispositions".

Most modern translators are working under the influence of over 150 years of dispensationalism being taught in most of our churches
