Newsweek: The Obama Conquest; Pastor: Obama Paving Way for Antichrist

The latest cover of Newsweek features a picture of a regally-dressed Barack Obama (essentially as Napoleon) along with the headline The Conquest of Obama. Newsweek published:

Sure, Obama’s lucky. He also relentlessly seizes his chances and makes every one of them count.

As heart-stricken Republicans tried to explain their unambiguous defeat by Barack Obama, some turned to the heavens. Hurricane Sandy, the explanation went, stopped Mitt Romney’s momentum in its tracks, gave Obama an exquisitely timed commander-in-chief moment, and blacked out media coverage of his opponent for several crucial days.

I have a different take. Although Barack Obama is a politician, God determined the outcome of the election (superstorm Sandy , for example, seemed to be a factor–but I believed that BEFORE the election happened). Many are concerned about what type of conquest Barack Obama really believes he accomplished.

Speaking of conquests, the founder of Wikileak’s did not approve of Barack Obama’s conquest:

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks called Barack Obama, the re-elected President of the United States of America, “wolf in Sheep’s clothing”. Assange said, “Obama seems to be a nice man, and that is precisely the problem,” the 41-year-old Australian told AFP…Assange stated that he expects America to continue attacking his website under the new government and so the conquest of Obama is no reason to cheer for him. He further stated that every action taken against WikiLeaks by the US was commenced under the administration of Obama and Assange feels that the situation will not change even in the coming time. http://www.examiner.com/article/julian-assange-calls-obama-a-wolf-sheep-s-clothing

While Julian Assange has his own problems (and is hiding in an embassy to prevent him from facing charges of rape), I do have concerns about the US government and its changing attitude about free-speech (I am not trying to justify all that happened with Wikileaks)–and I believe at some point in time that it will suspend my right to publish on the internet someday. But that is likely to be several years away. The time will come when more and more of the COG message will be considered as “hate speech” or in potential violation of the improperly named “Patriot Act” or other type of pretext.

Interestingly, there was an article about a Protestant pastor who did not endorse Barack Obama or Mitt Romney (nor did I) who has raised some of the same type of concerns that I have. Notice the following:

A Texas megachurch pastor recently claimed that President Barack Obama‘s re-election victory would lead to the rise of the Antichrist.

Robert Jeffress, senior pastor at the First Baptist Church in Dallas, made remarks on Sunday before the election that should Obama win, his victory would lead to the reign of the Antichrist…

“President Obama is not the Antichrist. But what I am saying is this: the course he is choosing to lead our nation is paving the way for the future reign of the Antichrist.”

And I agree that Barack Obama is not the final Antichrist, as the final Antichrist is primarily a religious, not political figure, according to the Bible.

I also agree that Barack Obama has and will take steps that will lead to the rise of the Beast powers of Revelation 13, including (less directly) the final Antichrist. Actually, in my book Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States, I list 17 reasons why I feel that Barack Obama is “apocalyptic,” that is leading the USA into the time of the Great Tribulation.

Barack Obama, himself, seems intent on conquering various aspects of the USA economy. Some will agree with him, others will not. Because of Bible prophecy, I have serious concerns about where all of this will head as far as the USA is concerned (cf. Daniel 11:39).
