Obama the antichrist?

I received the following in an email today...

This will make you re-think: A Trivia question in Sunday School: How long is the beast allowed to have authority in Revelation?

Revelation Chapter 13 tells us it is 42 months, and you know what that is. Almost a four-year term of a Presidency.

All I can say is "Lord, Have mercy on us!"

According to The Book of Revelation the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal...the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything..

Do we recognize this description?

I responded with these words to my dear forward-happy friend...

According to the book of Revelation? I don’t recall the age of the Antichrist being mentioned anywhere in the Bible nor was he ever called a Muslim. Islam didn't even exist when Revelation was written. The chapter listed in this email talks about deceiving signs and wonders. I haven’t seen Obama working miracles. He also has not suffered a fatal wound that has been healed.

I publish this as a reminder to all. Check your facts. Think through what you're being told. Logic will, if you let it, keep you from forwarding most political rumor.

Personal Opinion Alert! There are plenty of reasons NOT to vote for Obama without getting apocalyptic or misusing the Bible.
