Nation Article Re McCain The Anti-Christ -To Respond To The Ati-Obama Left Behind Crowd
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 12:46 PM by Median Democrat
Fox News, of course, has been doing its best to knock us back into the stone age with superstitious bullshit with lines regarding the "Temple of Obama" and such. Well, it turns out that if anyone actually engages in some biblical scholarship, John McCain is actually much closer to being the anti-christ based on his family name and professed views on Iraq:

"What started us looking at this issue is the fact that Senator McCain has declared his intention to maintain US forces in Iraq for a hundred years," said David Jenkins, a leading Biblical scholar. "That means that McCain wants to control Babylon for at least a century." According to many scholars of the Book of Revelation, the Antichrist will try to rebuild the ancient city of Babylon in order to use it as a springboard for an international effort at world domination. Ultimately, the Antichrist will marshal forces from Babylon to spark a showdown with Christian and Jewish-led forces in the battle of Armageddon.

"We believe that the End Times is near, based on the pattern of wars, earthquakes. and other strange phenomena we've been witnessing since the start of the New Millennium," said Jenkins. "Given that it may be imminent, the person who controls Babylon must be the Antichrist." Until 2003, many Christians believed that Saddam Hussein might be the Antichrist, since he started excavations to restore Babylon in the mid 1970s. But Hussein's death meant that the Antichrist is someone else. Since Obama wants to get out of Iraq, he can't be the Antichrist either, concluded Jenkins.

Jenkins said his teams suspicions were further heightened when genealogical research showed that McCain's great-grandfather was actually not John McCain, but John Mihai. Mihai is an ancient Romanian name, and according to Bible-believing Christians, the Antichrist is likely to be a Romanian. "What clinched it for us was that the name Mihai means 'who is like the Lord,'" said Jenkins. "As far as we're concerned, that was enough. It means that McCain might easily pretend to be the Redeemer."

1. as always, whatever THEY are doing
is what they accuse us of doing.

It never fails.

Thank god someone woke up to this fact and started investigating -- thank you the Nation!

McCain seriously does creep me out -- aside from his policies, etc which are the logical.rational reasons I wouldn't vote for him. But there's also one's gut....and my gut turns over whenever I hear him.

Still can't understand how all of these Dems could be "friends" with him.
