It seems like the frenzy of interest in the possibility that Obama is the antichrist<\/a> is increasing as election day draws closer. I\u2019ve had more hits than usual on my blog today, most of them from people searching on search engines for keywords like \u201cObama Revelations 13\u201d. Presumably they are looking for Revelation 13 rather than \u201crevelations\u201d in the generic sense.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Most of them have ended up at my post \u201cLeft Behind with Obama<\/a>\u201c. I think that post remains useful, but I also hope that those interested in this subject will also take a look at my post \u201cHow I Know Barack Obama is Not<\/em> the Antichrist<\/a>\u201c.<\/p>\n

I hope those who read these posts will find them persuasive. But I do hope that those who continue to think that Obama could be the antichrist will therefore vote for him<\/em> or otherwise simply not vote, lest they stand in the way of the fulfillment of prophecy!<\/p>\n
