Prophetic Interpretation Page 3: Results of Dangerous Interpretations

I speak now things I have heard others say, and I am appalled.  Put yourself, for a moment, in the shoes of President Obama.  He was baptized into the United Christian Church when he was a child and is a practicing Southern Baptist today.  How would you view your fellow Christians if you heard them calling you the Anti-Christ?  Would you not feel as though you were being slandered and betrayed?  Would you not feel as though you were hated and despised by your own people?  Would you now think that maybe Christians are just a bunch of crazy fanatics who easily go off the deep end?  Would you not consider perhaps that you no longer belong to the faith…that maybe you should not be a Christian anymore?  If you were the president and trying to do your hardest to make things better for your people only to have a group of Christians say “He is the epitome of all evil, the Anti-Christ, the embodiment of Satan”…how would you feel?  Sure, I do not know if President Obama is trying his hardest or not to do what is best for the US, but neither do you know that he is not.  Should we not rather give him the benefit of the doubt and show him love?

And what is the natural tendency for a non-believer to think when hearing these things?  I’ll tell you what they would think.  They would think the same thing that Obama would think.  “These Christians are a bunch of crazy fanatics who easily go off the deep end.  Christians are crazy, mean and nothing but slanderers.”  Is this how Christ taught us to be?  Is this how He wanted us to show people love?

It is one thing to say such things about something or someone if what we are saying is true and we know it to be true.  If a man were indeed to prove to be the Anti-Christ then by all means we should call him what he is, and if the US is truly the fourth beast in the Daniel account we should call it what it is.  However, is there enough evidence to actually make such statements or any of the statements about 911, Enron, Osama Bin Laden, Hitler and so forth that have been said?  Can we say for a certainty that this is fulfillment of scripture?  Do these individuals fulfill ALL that the scripture says in regards to this?
