Top 10 Contenders for the Title of Antichrist
The-word Antichrist means an enemy of Christ or a usurper of Christ’s name and rights — this meaning has the broad application to include all that is opposite to Christ is thus antichrist; i.e., see 1 John 2:18 … Even now are there many antichrists. 1 John 4:3 — includes the spirit of antichrist — alluding to any who in spirit or in person is opposed to Christ, to teach antichristian doctrine, and deny the fact of the incarnation [of Jesus Christ as God the Son] i.e., false teachers and false disciples. (SYSTEMAT1C THEOLOGY, Vol. VII, L. S. Chafer, pp. 16-17). It’s said that the Antichrist will carry the Mark of the Beast (666). Some believe the antichrist to be gentile, because he comes from the sea, while others believe that he will be a resurrected individual, based on Revelation 13:3 and 17:8 and that he will be Judas Iscariot. Whoever the Anti-Christ is, here are the top ten contenders:
10. Barney
Because John, the writer of Revelation, would never have known what a dinosaur actually lookerd like, it’s reasonable to suppose he would have identified any vision of Barney as one of a dragon. Taking this into consideration, you might find the following Scriptures quite revealing:
Revelation 12:3, “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon.”
Revelation 13:4, “And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?”
Revelation 20:2, “And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.”
Could our kids be watching the Antichrist? Anything is possible.
9. FDR
The numerical value of Roosevelt’s name was reported to be a sum of 666. Because of the Great Depression, FDR was one of the most autocratic US President of the 20th century. Roosevelt was in office for 12 years.
8. Kim Jong-il
Under pressure from apocalyptic conspirators, the former North Korea, Kim Jong-il, admitted through state-run media that he is “possibly the Anti-Christ” in 2008. The shocking confession came after weeks of the media hounding Kim Jong-il with letters and e-mails demanding that Jong-il “confess and share in the windfall of royalties from book sales.” In the official state press release, Jong-il was quoted as saying, “I’ve never liked Zionists but I always respect and fear those who have divorced multiple times and still have a squeaky clean reputation. It’s a personal weakness of mine. I just can’t say no to such people. I’m such a schlub.”
7. Vladimir Putin
As we all know Nostradamus predicted that there would be 3 Antichrists. In one of his quatrains he argued, “The year 1999, seventh month, From the sky will come a great King of Terror. To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols, Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.” Indeed in the year 1999, Vladimir Putin rose to power first as the Prime Minister and then as President. As well, conspirators argue that just as Nostradamus predictions, “from the sky will come a great King of Terror”, Yeltsin’s choice for prime minister came out of the blue. So therefore Putin must be what Nostradamus referred to as the Antichrist.
6. Barack Obama
Conspirators believe that the current President of the United States is the antichrist. They argue this because he has made public his stands on issues that are not exactly aligned with Christianity and its tenets. For example, Obama is pro-gay, and actively pushing for same-sex unions and rights of homosexuals. He is also pro-abortion, funding the killing of the unborn in his controversial health programme. Others argue that Obama is not an antichrist, but is paving the way for one.
