The end of the age will be marked by a one-world government ruled by an evil man that Christians call the Antichrist (Dan. 7:23; Rev. 13:7-8). Some think Pres. Obama is the Antichrist. Others think he is a type (a picture or a forerunner) of the Antichrist.
This writer has long believed that Pres. Obama might seek to become one of the 10 kings (the first head of the North American Union), but he appears to want more than that. He appears to want to rule the world.
There was a report on Jan. 8, 2016 that Pres. Obama wants to head up the UN when Sec. Gen. Ban Ki-moon ends his term on Dec. 31, 2016. The belief by some that Pres. Obama is the Antichrist coupled with his desire to take the top spot in the UN wannabe world government has prompted some speculation.
So here is a partial list of the characteristics of the Antichrist:
First, the Antichrist will start out in a small or insignificant way, steadily move into a position of limited power (prince) and quickly move on to the most powerful position on earth:
“There came up among them another little horn.” (Dan. 7:8).
“The people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary” (Dan. 9:26).
“They worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” (Rev. 13:4).
Second, the Antichrist will say arrogant, pompous or condescending things; He will have “a mouth speaking great things” (Dan. 7:8).
Third, the Antichrist will slander God; persecute believers; and try to change calendars, holidays and laws: He “shall speak greatwords against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws” (Dan. 7:25; also see Rev. 13:7).
Fourth, the Antichrist will ignore the truth and tell lies. He will “cast down the truth to the ground” (Dan. 8:12; also see 2 Thess. 2:9).
Fifth, the Antichrist will be given great power and he will succeed as a destroyer of powerful people and believers
“His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people” (Dan. 8:24).
Sixth, the Antichrist will cause false or evil worship to prosper; boast and think highly of himself; he will use peace as a tool to destroy many and he will oppose Jesus:
“And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes” (Dan. 8:25).
Also see Dan. 11:36; Rev. 6:1-2; 13:6).
Seventh, the Antichrist will do what he wants to do regardless of what the law says or what others think. He will “do according to his will” (Dan. 11:36).
Eighth, the Antichrist will not heed the wishes of his father’s god or women or anyone’s god. This is unclear, but some think he will be godless and gay:
“Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all” (Dan. 11:37; also see II Thess. 2:4).
Ninth, the Antichrist will divide the Land of Israel. He “shall divide the land for gain” (Dan. 11:39).
Tenth, the Antichrist will come from the group of nations that destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in AD 70:
“The people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary” (Dan. 9:26).
Concerning the list of characteristics prophesied by Daniel cited above, few can honestly deny that Pres. Obama started out small (relatively unknown before becoming Pres. of the U.S.), that he is arrogant (has a pen and a phone), that he is condescending (lectures Christians about criticizing Muslims), and that he wants to change laws (disarm America’s citizens).
Pres. Obama lies: “Obamacare will lower your annual insurance premiums by $2500.” He has destroyed powerful people (brought great harm to the U.S.). He does everything according to his own will (with executive actions and executive orders). And he wants to divide the Land of Israel (Two-State solution), etc.
The only problem this writer has with the belief that Pres. Obama is the Antichrist is this: The Roman Empire, the group of nations that destroyed Jerusalem and the temple (as far as this writer knows), Pres. Obama is not from that group of nations. (I know his father was from Kenya; Pres. Obama’s birth certificate was probably forged.)
Pres. Obama is probably using a stolen social security number; his school records, medical records, passport. All of that important information is hidden. We know that there are 6 letters in his first name, 6 in his second name and 6 in his third name; etc.). But this writer is not convinced that Pres. Obama is from the old Roman Empire.
It is now being reported that Pres. Obama has given up on securing a peace treaty in the Middle East by the end of his administration. One must wonder if he has given up because the new target date for confirming a treaty is 2030.
People wonder why Pres. Obama constantly defends Muslims when it is clear that Islamic terrorists are responsible for most of the terrorism in the world. One must wonder if he defends Islam because he wants the support of 53 Muslim nations to become the next Sec. Gen. of the UN.
Also, if he is trying to become the head of the UN, would he declare martial law in the U.S.?
God is not bound by UN goals, but if there is going to be a world government in 2030, the world will soon start seeing the rise of the 10 kings, perhaps other regional currencies, a greater push for world religion, etc.
If there is going to be a world government in 2030 and the Pre-Trib Rapture is right, the Rapture is less than 14 years away (and as always, it could happen at any time).
Finally, if there is going to be a world government in 2030, the Antichrist and the False Prophet are alive now; we are the terminal generation and billions of people need to get saved immediately. Billions will not survive the Tribulation period.
