The rapture ready folks have lost it
http://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?t=66839

They've given up on the Anti-Christ thing (no, I won't start) but now they're convinced Obama is going to be king of the North American Union, one of the ten kings (whatever that means :wtf:)

It's all part of the socialistic merge into the NAU and ultimately the one world govt

At best, they've moved on.

This would not have been possible without the Lord allowing it, so as difficult as it is to swallow and to watch the droves of the deceived as many of them worship Obama, it will serve the Lord's purpose and one day will make perfect sense.

Another wants his daughter to move off University campus because blacks are celebrating Obama's win.

Here's an interesting take:

I think that God has been merciful to John McCain by allowing his defeat in this election.

then there's

Obama may be The President used by God to Prep or Bring the USA/World closer or into the Trib.

which is pretty much what I'd been expecting from this lot.

2. They lost it a long time ago
Remember the old bumper stickers that said 'I found it'(Jesus that is) I used to have one that said 'I lost it" but it got so worn out I had to scrape it off.

4. Fucking crazy.
One of my friends on Myspace posted this bulletin:

"According to The Book of Revelations 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 every thing .."


WHAT THE FUCK!

6. That's from Nostradomus, not the Bible
Besides, I'm the Anti-Christ. However, with my mission complete, I may pass on the mantle. Anybody interested?

9. According to every version of the Bible I've ever read...
...(and I've read a few,) the word "Muslim" doesn't appear ANYWHERE, much less in the Revelation.

And IIRC, there's a special place in Hell for those who "add or subtract" to the Bible as written.

hmmmmmmmmm.....

interestedly,
Bright

14. There were no Muslims when Revelations was written.

Tell your friend to read up on the history of Islam as well as the history of the Bible.

15. Bush had 90% approval after 9/11
spoke the language of religion that beguiled his base, started wars and destroyed the global economy.

Maybe he's the Anti-Christ.

(Also note that muslims and the religion of Islam did not exist at the time the Book of Revelation was written).

17. I'm trying to figure out how Revelations mentions a Muslim
when Islam didn't exist until hundreds of years after the bible was written.

Shows how much I know.

21. snopes

It's doubtful that the writer of the Book of Revelation would know anything about Muslims, who didn't exist until at least four centuries later.

29. Tell your 'MySpace friend' that there is no anti-Christ in the book of REvelation..
And tell him the correct title of the book is
"RevelatioN.." NO plural.. no 's' in Revelation.

And that 'prophecy' is bogus. NOT biblical.

The only mention of 'anti-christ' in the Bible is
in the epistle to St. John.
And it simply refers to anyone who is 'anti-Jesus'
which is a lot of people today. Many of my friends
and family are 'anti-christ.' I don't lose sleep about it.

And that if we wants to 'quote' the Bible,
he better get his ass to Bible study.
Doncha just hate it when people mis-quote things?

Tell him this comes to him
courtesy of a liberal, feminist pastor
who has 2 advanced degrees in theology.

No need to thank me.

31. Yes!
Well, I'm going to thank you anyway. Lol.
I'm Agnostic and not well-versed in the Bible, so when I read that I was like a deer in headlights.

5. LOL
Those people always crack me up. They consider themselves Christians but they have done nothing but spew hatred on that site for 8+ years. I used to be their biggest pain in the ass on that sight sticking up for Catholic Democrats. After 3 bans I gave up trying.

8. You can take nearly any period of history
and juxtapose with the book of Daniel/Revelation and come up with an end time scenario. It's a pointless exercise.

10. 10 kings explained here:
I remember this from my Left Behind-reading days. Basically, in the "End Times", there will be ten world divisions, each led by a separate ruler. They will all be controlled by the Antichrist. This comes from some passage in the Bible describing the ten horns of the beast if I remember correctly.

34. So they already demoted him?
A few days ago Obama was the Antichrist with 666 hidden in his logo. Now he's just a lowly deputy-antichrist? :evilfrown:

Never do they stop to rethink their own assumptions.

20. You'd think that the fact that their was no such thing as a Muslim
when Revelations was written would slow their roll at least a bit.

24. My neighbors
down the street told their 9 year old that Obama is the antichrist. I have no idea why they let the kid play with my kids since I have 3 Obama signs in my wiondows and 2 bumper sticker plus a NO ON 8 sticker... I voted for the antichrist...

Religion is the lamest thing ever - and those who insist on believing in imaginary friends make me nervous.

32. "worship" ... any of y'all know ANYONE who worships Obama?
.. hm, I sure don't.

Whatever these people THINK they worship, they WILL go to Hell if there is one.. they're just earth-raping pigs who've convinced themselves they're better than the rest of us.. so pathetic.

35. I love reading Rapture Ready.
I know I can always get a good laugh at the posts there -- and those people actually BELIEVE they, and millions of others, will suddenly vanish one day. I have to admit, I used to believe in the Rapture(back in my "Left Behind" days) but I was never as nutty as some of these folks are. It's like a comedy over at Rapture Ready.
