That email purportedly "proved" that Barack Obama is the anti-Christ. Now it's hard to believe that in the 21st century, a stupid, fact lacking, anonymously spread internet rumor would impact a person's opinion of a presidential candidate - but it has.
In fact the Obama as anti-Christ foolishness has gathered so much steam that it looks like none other than the McCain campaign has picked up the idea and is running with it. And now the likes of CNN and 'Time' are actually addressing this nonsense. ... Here's the video:
And lest you think this is some cockamamie accusation coming from the left wing of the political spectrum, it was the folks over at Christian Newswire who first addressed the problem:
John McCain's campaign ad "The One" has generated a lot of buzz regarding the "Left Behind Series." Political commentators are comparing McCain's portrayal of competitor Barack Obama with the blockbuster apocalyptic series' depiction of the antichrist. But even the series authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins don't think Obama is the antichrist. What may have been created as a farce has generated a firestorm of controversy on the internet.
LaHaye and Jenkins take a literal interpretation of prophecies found in the Book of Revelation. They believe the antichrist will surface on the world stage at some point, but neither see Obama in that role. "I've gotten a lot of questions the last few weeks asking if Obama is the antichrist," says novelist Jenkins. "I tell everyone that I don't think the antichrist will come out of politics, especially American politics."
Is that clear enough? Once and for all Barack Obama is NOT THE anti-Christ. Whew. I'm glad we cleared that up. Now please go and tell CNN and Newsweek what you already now know.

Whether or not Obama is the anti-christ shouldn't really an issue to the Believer, since it's arrival is inevitable. The contingency lies with how we, as Believers in Christ, deal with the situation when it arrives.

Subject: Christians taught wrong spin on mark of the beast
Body: Christians are taught the wrong understanding of anti christ!
I am still getting massive numbers of e-mails from people who fear that the anti-christ was just elected president. How can we minister to frightened Christians in deep despair? We do have the spirit of Babylon rising in our own country, and the foundations were being built long before 2008’s election.
The public is not challenging the salaries of Police and firemen unions. These organizations are not needed in our society. Yet they have taken control of New York City, California and many other cities and states. These government unions are masking their use of public employees in an organized effort to grow government and remove local control of government. Unions were originally created to help private sector employees and were never intended for gaining government power.
The Soviet Union was another massive government workers union! Our city government located in my town is entirely unionized, they represent a left wing voter block that we cannot remove in the election process. Arnold the governator tried to break California's public employees unions power and quickly learned that they were strong enough to terminate him. When will the people in this nation see these trends? Our schools are unionized, and controlled by the left, and have educated a generation of kids who feel perfectly at home with socialism.
I have spent years writing a book to re-educate people by waking them up to the fact that we are supporting a state growing within a state, and it has formed deep roots within our most trusted institutions. This government power and abuse are a twin prophecy connected to the 3 Hebrews who were forced to fall down and either worship the golden statue erected by the state of Babylon, or die in the fire. (Daniel Chapter 3) The Idol we must bow and worship today is political correctness! If we do not do this we may be fired, or destroyed by character assassinations directed by the Babylon media. If you do not fall down and worship the image of the beast you must be destroyed. (Daniel 3) That is how they sought to destroy Sarah Palin and George W. Bush, even though Bush desperately tried to stop Freddie and Fannie 7 times.
The time has come where we cannot buy nor sell, nor have employment without our tax money being used to build this modern Babylon. They are literally building a political God of gold by taking our own money, robbing our own job. They are ignoring sound principles and offering us as sacrifices to appease their angry god.
We are like cattle (property) being lead by those we have elected to the slaughter. Our thoughts are that these people are honest humans who intend to take care of us. We are being lulled into slavery by the beast of Babylon. And they have us paying for the transportation to the train station, the ticket for the journey, and all the failing plans of scheme. They are empowering their status by allowing us to think all is well as we become enslaved to build their palaces with our sweat and money! They are actually Beastly men who have sold out their own humanity. Everybody is anxiously looking for the mark of the beast while we are being marked by the Beast through our service in Babylon with our own right hand. The mark in the forehead is not a computer chip, like Christians imagine. It is a mark of deception brainwashed into their minds, or foreheads.
Look how people just voted with their right hands! What kind of Beast has entered their brains? Is it not the mark of the beast implanted into their thought processes by the media? This deception causes people to sell out their own freedom! Peoples’ right hands voted for slavery in Babylon. Your right hand is the work hand! By their own will people in fear sacrifice their freedom thinking they are accomplishing a greater good. The poor are being used to justify this mass robbery done through slave taxation. Our education systems, and our health care are to become the final foundation to construct the monsters idol. Poor people become the image of the golden idol. The money Idol in which the beast hides himself behind, in order to hide the fact that our sacrifices are not for the poor after all, but actually for the beasts own glory. The poor are just pawns, and will soon become slaves to this modern Babylon after their plight is used.
I have great hope that this failing economy will not respond to Babylon’s social fixes, and things may get much worse. Christians do not comprehend what the mark of the beast is! This makes it easier for them to also be enslaved by spiritual ignorance. They think a tattoo is coming that will be placed upon their head. This blinds them from seeing the true mark! They misplace the Bible's true meaning of the real mark.
The mark is spiritual, and not literal! There were not any computer chips present when Cain was marked in ancient times! The number 666 is the measurement of Nebuchadnezzar’s golden idol. The mark of the historical calendar for the Babylon system, was 600 BC. Sixty cubits high and six cubits wide. See Daniel Chapter Three verse one. Therein resides the meaning of 666. Herein is depicted Babylon’s beastly slavery as recorded in your own Bible. How did so many miss this? The measurements are written in the Bible.
I am still getting frightened e-mails from lots of Christians who believe that the anti-christ has just come to power. Millions of these people have been taught wrong meanings for the "Beast of Babylon" from self serving preachers who do not understand, nor can they properly identify this enemy within correct Bible context. Suddenly after the election millions of these people are confused and lost, not knowing where to turn for spiritual understanding! The evil one wants to destroy America. America protects Israel.
The enemy wants to remove our presence in the Middle East. This is why Sarah Palin and others supporting victory in Iraq must prepare to lead America after they learn hard lessons. Perhaps I can help re-educate willing minds when they begin to feel the hard times.. I believe God will even give ignorant people another chance. He will attempt to teach them something before he resorts to his final judgments.
I am trying to be of some positive assistance, even though I am not a writer, and require another author to help me articulate and promote my book. Help me to reach thousands of frightened and confused Christians, who do not understand what prophecies are happening, or where they can go to find the correct biblical information, to change it.

Hi.
I found your Web Site by Google
And I wish you the best you can get,
the peace of God through Jesus Christ.
Welcome to read my Site.
Allan Svensson, Sweden
www.algonet.se/~allan-sv/INDEX.HTM
How to be prepared for Jesus’ coming?
We shall obey the command of the Lord in Rev. 18:4, and do as
he says. Many who call Jesus the Lord do not take a notice of what
he says. This command of the Lord in Rev. 18:4 is the strongest
and the largest revival message we can find in the Bible. This ought
to has been preached and well known everywhere among all Christians.
Yet, the preachers who are speaking about the great Babylon, they
convey the truth only partly because they do not understand that their
own church also belongs to the great Babylon. They cannot see the
difference between the church and the Assembly of God.
In the time of the apostles any church did not exist, and therefore
the word "church" occurs not at all in the Bible. Everywhere in your
English Bible where you see the word "church", it is a translation
error, it ought to be "assembly". Jesus did not build any church.
I have five Bible translations in Swedish, (the oldest from 1703,
translated from the same original bible text as KJV). Nowhere in these
Bibles we can find the word "church" (kyrka). Nowhere in the Bible
we can find any hint of that the Assembly of God is constituted of
church systems and many religious organizations.
It is at least two Bible translations in English without the word 'church',
(WEB) and (KJ3). Perhaps there are more such translations. I do not
know.
The Assembly of God is no Pentecostal church. Please, consider what
this expression "the Assembly of God" in the reality implies. The
Assembly of God must be the same as the Greek word "ekklesia", and
the Body of Christ. 1 Cor. 12:12-31.
Then it is easy to understand that this has nothing to do with the
Pentecostal Movement. Pentecostal churches have existed about 100
years, but the Assembly of God has existed ever since Jesus baptized his
first disciples by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gave them the new life
in Christ so that they became born anew. Then the Assembly of God was
born. Since then, the Assembly of God has lived here on the earth
generation after generation.
The establishment of the first church took place in connection with the
great falling away. 2 Thess. 2:3. Since then, God's people have lived in
slavery under Satan's false doctrine about the Assembly of God. We
cannot use the word 'church' when we mean the Assembly of God. Still,
to day, most Christians cannot see the difference between the Assembly
of God and the Church of Satan.
All churches have come into existence through religious fornication.
People have mixed God's word with false doctrines of evil spirits, and so
new churches appear.
Revival is the releasing of all Christians from all churches and
denominations, the exodus of all God’s people from the great Babylon.
Rev. 18:4. The worst obstacle to revival is Satan’s false assembly
doctrine, which says that churches and denominations are God’s
assemblies. This false doctrine is accepted and believed everywhere in
all churches and denominations.
Belief on this false doctrine leads to spiritual blindness, so that people
cannot see the difference between the Assembly of God and the churches.
This false doctrine hinders them to understand God’s word.
It is very urgent that people get the knowledge of the Assembly of
God, but because they believe on a false assembly doctrine, they want
not to read or hear the warning message of the Lord. They do not know
that the devil uses the churches and denominations to hold the
Christians in religious slavery.
Where is Jesus' church?
Where is the church that Jesus built?

In the free churches the world around
there are thousands of preachers
and bible teachers, but none can explain
what the Assembly of God is

The condition of the Assembly of God
is now much worse than in the assemblies
in Ephesus, Sardis and Laodicea
