"Could President Obama Be The Antichrist?"

I am just sitting here reading the news online, and feeling a chill tingling down my spine. I refer to an associated press article by Josef Federman titled "Envoy: US favors overal Mideast peace accord".
In this article, US envoy George Mitchell is quoted during his diplomatic visit to Syria, saying that "the United States is determined to achieve a 'truly comprehensive" peace settlement that includes normal relations between Israel and all of its Arab neighbors. We will welcome the full cooperation of the government of the Syrian Arab Republic in this historic endeavor,'"
It is to be understood that Mr. Mitchell is a functionary of the Obama administration; therefore his statements of record serve as a weathervane, pointing which way the wind of global U.S. diplomacy blows. His recent visit to Syria is a complete reversal of former Pres. Bush's foreign policy with regard to this nation as a country which supported and was actively involved with sponsoring terrorism.
Lest you think Syria is not guilty, ask any non-Hezbollah Lebanese!
It is both frightening and disconcerting to realize that we have a sitting president and administration that is willing, not only to sit at the negotiating table with a nation that is known to support the same mentality that resulted in the horrible and cowardly depradations of 9-11, but that is now indicating a willingness to single them out and push them forward into a leadership role for a Mid-East peace settlement!
What is even more frightening, if one knows and understands Bible prophecy concerning the end times, is this adminisration's seeming rejection of Israel's sovereign national interest, and the new intent to push for a comprehensive Israel/Arab peace settlement. Both the new U.S. policy of "less than a friend" towards Israel, and "more like a friend" towards her Arab neighbor nations, and the call for universal peace are historic departures from any previous administration since Israel became a recognized sovereign nation in 1948.
It also smacks of favoritism towards Israel's Arab neighbors; not towards Israel. The United States has in past years been at times Israel's only friend, hope and ally. What is to become of Israel if the most powerful nation in the world abandons her to the interests of Muslim theocracies?
And the part that really chills me and gives me pause is what the prophet Daniel said in Dan. 9:27:
"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for the week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifices and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consumation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."
This passage is widely understood to be refering to the Biblical figure called the Antichrist, who will dominate world leadership during the Tribulation Period, a "week of years" or seven years of global government.
The Antichrist will be a global pariah who will come to world-wide acclaim and leadership by settling a comprehensive Mid-East peace. The Book of Revelation calls him a man of peace, but his administration will be dripping with blood. A significant part of his peace plan will deal with Jerusalem, and the allowing for the Temple Mount to have multiple use, including a third Jewish temple. Yet in the end, he desecrates this temple in the middle of his seven year administration by declaring himself to be god, and demanding Jewish and global allegiance and worship.
The religious Jews will utterly reject this notion, and his policy will then be to ruthlessly drive the Jews from their homeland. Israel will come to be seen as the problem; a rogue nation that will not cooperate with the global peace plan.
Already there has been discussion in the U.N. about getting peacekeepers involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; and not necessarily with the consent of Israel!
He will have world opinion with him in this matter, and the final conflict, in which he gathers together a global confederation consisting mostly of Arab nations, in concert with the former Soviet Union and some European nations, will be called the Battle of Armageddon. The prophetic Book of Revelation has the armies of the nations gathered in the plains of Jezreel, before Megiddo, where they will be consumed by “the brightness” of the Lord’s coming. Flesh will melt from bones and eyes from sockets, and blood will flow to the depth of a horse’s bridle in a cosmic nuclear meltdown that is divinely originated.
And what concerns me is the apparent nearness in time we may be to all of this, with a sitting president, who to all appearances just may well be a “sleeper Muslim”, and who certainly is willing to utilize any of his misty Muslim heritage to his diplomatic advantage in dealing with Muslim nations. And now he announces his foreign policy intention to make a universal peace, which of course is to be desired, but if it is the fulfillment of Bible prophesy, is to be feared for what comes after. And that means that if Mr. Obama is not the antichrist, could he be a forerunner; a reflection of the spirit of the antichrist age?
I wonder ...
