I admit to wondering whether Mara Vanderslice was over-reacting when she wrote over at Progressive Revival that the McCain television ad implied, to evangelicals, that Obama was the anti-Christ.
But check out this column from Hal Lindsey, author of the Late Great Planet Earth. After describing how Obama is being treated as the Second Coming, Lindsey writes:
Obama is correct in saying that the world is ready for someone like him – a messiah-like figure, charismatic and glib and seemingly holding all the answers to all the world’s questions.
And the Bible says that such a leader will soon make his appearance on the scene. It won’t be Barack Obama, but Obama’s world tour provided a foretaste of the reception he can expect to receive.
He will probably also stand in some European capital, addressing the people of the world and telling them that he is the one that they have been waiting for. And he can expect as wildly enthusiastic a greeting as Obama got in Berlin.
The Bible calls that leader the Antichrist. And it seems apparent that the world is now ready to make his acquaintance.
