Follow Up to Previous Post on Antichrist Echoes

Here is the Time magazine link. In my view, Obama is not the Antichrist (or, to be more accurate, an antichrist, because the Bible also uses the term in the plural in 1 John 2:18)--at least I have not seen enough theological evidence to seriously make any such claim; and, as a Catholic, I am very wary of any such claims. But Obama himself (certainly not McCain) has inevitably created the echoes with his own compulsive, freely chosen rhetoric of false messianism. As they say, pride comes before a fall. The proud dig their own pit. Maybe, if Obama knew his Bible better, he would have avoided the excessive messianic rhetoric. Other relevant biblical references can be found at 1 John 2:22; 4:3; and 2 John v. 7 (there is only one chapter in 2 John). This development is another sign of how out of touch Obama and his top advisers are with the cultural background of many ordinary Americans.
