After reading everyone's post the other night, I was thinking about the subject and did a little more research. I coudln't get in yesterday to the forums, and it was like having my lifeline cut off!!! You all are such a huge part of my life now!
Anyway, I was thinking, do you think the AntiChrist will be a politician, a minister or both?
I'm starting to believe it will not be a politician like Georgie Porgie Bush, but someone that we all like. Then I thought the worst....
What if it's someone like................................Joel Osteen???????
Oh my Lord!!!! I don't want you all thinking I think it's him, but his image popped into my mind.
I assume the AntiChrist will truly trick us all, not so much because he will tell everyone he's God, but people will look at him (or her, this is 2006 and we are all "sons" of God) the way we are supposed to look at God!!!!!!!
I think the AntiChrist will be a lot more subtle and cunning, just like the serpent, than someone like George Bush. I think like Satan himself, subtlety is the AntiChrist's key ingredient.
Isn't the best trick the Devil ever played on the world is making us think he didn't exist, or making people follow him without even knowing it? (I need to check on this).
Anyway, I think he will seep into our minds and his/her presence will overwhelm us, but not in a bad way. That's why I think even Christians will be fooled into thinking he is the "messiah."
I guess what I'm really trying to say is, I think people will "worship" the AntiChrist, but won't actually know it.
As God says, thou shalt have no other gods before Me!
Do you all agree? Do you believe that sometimes we don't worship God, and don't even realize it? Sorry so long!
