Lately, I have been thinking a lot about the Book of Revelations. I don't get too crazy about those kinds of things, but if there is an anti-Christ, can you think of anybody better than the figures of our current times.
A lot on the left thought it was George W. Bush, but you know, Obama has shown the ability to sing a siren song even when the evidence is clearly on the table. I don't think Odysseus has seen an clearer example in all his travels as the songs coming out of the current White House. If I were producing the Bible and trying to get right in my mind what the devil looked like, I'd have to use what real life has shown to be a representation. So It didn't shock me at all. I accepted it without even thinking much about it.
Since you mention a Book in the New Testament, I encourage you to read 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 verses 1-12. It's all about the man of lawlessness. It amazing you know, this was written nearly 2,000 years ago, but it's very applicable to what's going on right now.
So many have been. I doubt many of us here have, but that it has more to do with the fact that we are "thinking." A "thinking" person cannot help but see what is going on. A "non thinking" person is what feeds evil. Evil is non thinking. Satan whether literal or methaphorical desires to do the thinking for those it wishes to exploit.
