Texas Megachurch Pastor Jeffress: The Antichrist is coming and he'll have higher poll #'s than Obama

Seriously.... that's what this guy said

http://thinkprogress.org/election/2012/11/12/1177841/texas-megachurch-pastor-obamas-re-election-will-lead-to-reign-of-the-antichrist/

“I want you to hear me tonight, I am not saying that President Obama is the Antichrist, I am not saying that at all. One reason I know he’s not the Antichrist is the Antichrist is going to have much higher poll numbers when he comes,” said Jeffress.

“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.”

Can there be a Pastor and an anti pastor?


Or is that just an appetizer?

Scholars have studied this book and many discount it. Much of the imagery in the book is actually about "then" current events, i.e. the Roman Empire and its leaders. Much of the story about Armageddon is allegory, etc.

Further to that there will be no "Rapture". Sorry Left Behind Series writers (although they made a boatload of money off of fantasy).

fundamentalists fly off to their other planets and leave this one to us.

Wouldn't that be nice? It would be the ultimate "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out" moment.

If he is paving the way for the anti-Christ and the anti-Christ has been prophesied then it only makes sense that President Obama is fulfilling the will of God.


It also stands to reason that anyone who voted against him is fighting against the will of God.
