In regard to John B's article about Obama not being the Antichrist.  I found the below article regarding England giving "God's Throne" to Rome timely.    "Last Days" Warned Here After England Gives "God's Throne" to Catholics" http://beforeitsnews.com/story/1298625   History repeatly tells us that the Hebrews that were dispersed into all of the world either had to convert or die.  They inter-married over-all.  These facts of history falls right in line with the article recently posted on Five Doves (so sorry but I do not recall whom wrote it...so sorry) that spoke about the gentiles who have no idea that their roots are Hebrew.  When the Lord speaks about coming out of Her, He is speaking about the "Babylonian Queen of Heaven" goddess pagan religion and the politcal system.  She, the Queen of Heaven,  has had many names depending on the location.  She  is known as "Mary, the Queen of Heaven, the Mother of God" in Rome and becoming more accepted among Protestans denominations daily.  God has a mother?????  Jeremiah 44:17 speaks of her and not in a complimentary way but as a warning from God Himself to His people to not bake cakes unto her or have anything to do with her.   So, there is no doubt of the identity of  the woman that rules the Roman Church.  Is she the A/C?  No! She is a woman and referred to as a "Harlot".  Revelation 17:7 clearly shows us that the Beast carres her.  So, she can't be the Anti-Christ  but will be used as the one that promotes the Beast and causes the world to wonder after him.  With England now giving Rome the seat of "God's Throne", which they believe is the very stone that Jacob rested his head upon as he dreamed about the angels ascending and decending the ladder to heaven, we are seeing events most of us never even imagined would become part of the pieces put together in this Last Days puzzle.    What a time to be alive to see the final touches coming together for the One World Relgion with Rome as the Head.  Verses 16-17 of chapter 17 of Revelation tells us that God has put it in the hearts of the 'ten horns' to make her desolate.  Since one is taking action against the other, they can't be the same, can they?   Satan uses many men/women to create his politcal power but he will use his own son to come out of the Abyss to rule again like he did in Old Babylon.  That person is Abaddon.    If you go back to Chapter 9, you read about the Star falling down from heaven (Who is it that was the prime Star that led the rebellion and who will soon be thrown out of heaven for good?)  The day is coming when he wil be  allowed to open the pit with the key given to him and release someone who once lived and ruled (plus the hordes of demons with him).   Just as Almighty God has His Only Begotten Son, Satan also has his son/sons.  Isaiah 14.  Read it all but take note of this portion.  Isaiah 14: 15-21 "Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, to the recesses of the pit. Those who see you will gaze at you, They will ponder over you, saying "Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms, Who made the world like a wilderness And overthrew it's cities, Who did not allow his prisoners to go home?  All the kings of the nations lie in glory, Each in his own tomb. But you have been cast out of your tomb Like a rejected branch, Clothed with the slain who are pierced with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit, Like a trampled corpse.  You will not be united with them in burial because you have ruined your country.  You have slain your people.  May the offspring of evildoers not be mentione forever.  Prepare for his sons, a place of slaughter Because of the iniquity of their fathers."    Isaiah goes on to plead with God not to allow these off-spring of the Fallen Angels to come back again but the Almight says He will rise against them.  verse 22.   I find it interesting that 'he" is cast out of his tomb and will not be allowed to be united with the others.  God deals with him as only God can.   Final conclusion, the Anti-Christ is a man.  He will have the nature of human and Fallen Angel.  His scheme is coming to it's end soon.    Gerlinda
