It seems like there are more websites than ever that purport to reveal the "true" identity of the Antichrist. Certainly we are in the last days and we are closer than ever to the time when the Antichrist will be revealed. But the wild, unscriptural speculation that many Christians are involved in has just gotten out of control. In particular, it seems like some Christians are really eager to label various world leaders as being the Antichrist. Some of the world leaders most commonly identified as the Antichrist by some Christians include Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Pope Benedict, Prince Charles and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
In particular, the speculation over Barack Obama has gotten absolutely and totally ridiculous. For example, the video posted below claims that Jesus may have revealed the name of the Antichrist to be "Barack Obama" in the gospels. While it may be easy to dismiss the video as mindless drivel, the reality is that it has been watched over a quarter of a million times on YouTube, and another version of the same video has been watched over a half a million times on YouTube.....
So what should we think about the video above? The truth is that it is a bunch of nonsense. The video is totally off base and a close study of the Scriptures proves that Barack Obama is not the Antichrist. In fact, on our new website entitled "The Antichrist Is Not....", we posted a very comprehensive article that shows exactly why Barack Obama is not the Antichrist. You can read that article right here.....
While the truth is that Barack Obama is a horrible, horrible president, and the other world leaders listed above have much bad that can be said about them as well, the reality is that none of them is the Antichrist.
So who is the Antichrist.
The truth is that we do not know yet.
But when he does appear on the scene, the Scriptures give us a whole list of characteristics that we can identify him by.
On our new site, we posted a very comprehensive article entitled "Who Is The Antichrist? – 32 Characteristics Of The Real Antichrist" which pulls 32 of the key characteristics of the coming Antichrist out of Scripture and examines them one by one. After reading that article you will be much better equipped to identify the real Antichrist once he does make his appearance.
The truth is that all of the wild speculation that is going on in the Christian community right now needs to stop. It is hurting the credibility of Bible believers everywhere. Barack Obama is not the Antichrist. Neither is George W. Bush. Neither is the Pope. It is time for Christians to start learning their Bibles before they speak so boldly about the end times.
But the truth today is that most Christians do not spend time in their Bibles. That has got to change. Difficult times are coming, and it is those who know the Word of God that are going to be best equipped to get through what is coming.
Do near death experiences have anything to tell us about what is on the other side of death? Is there really more to our existence after we leave these bodies? Are heaven and hell real places? Well, the truth is that a lot of credible people have had near death experiences that they vividly remember. There are people who claim that they have actually been to heaven. There are other people who claim that they have actually been to hell. Two new websites have collected a large number of those experiences in one place, and we would encourage you to check them out and to share them with your friends.....
The reality is that it is hard to hear stories of near death experiences like you will on those two sites without feeling touched on a fundamental level. We have all wondered what is going to happen when we die. Those who have died and have come back have something to tell us. It is amazing how consistent their stories are.
We encourage you to check out the extraordinary stories of life after death on those sites and then to come back and tell us what you think. Do you believe that their near death stories are credible? Do you believe that heaven and hell actually exist? Were your views changed after hearing their stories?
If life after death does exist, then it should fundamentally change the way that we all approach this life. After all, what could be more important then your eternal destination?
Former professional boxer Curtis "Earthquake" Kelley has had quite a life. He grew up in a family that trained him in voodoo and the occult, but later turned his life over to Jesus Christ and became a Christian. However, prior to becoming a Christian, Kelley actually died from a drug overdose as a teenager and actually had the chance to experience hell during a near death experience.
Years later, Kelley also had the opportunity to visit heaven during a different near death experience when he died of a brain aneurysm. His descriptions of what heaven and hell are like will encourage those of you who are believers, and they will challenge those of you who do not believe in Christ.
If you have never heard of Earthquake Kelley before, take the time to watch these videos. They might just change your life forever.....
When discussions turn to God and religion, one of the topics that most commonly comes up is evolution/creation. Most people have been taught in school for so many years that mankind evolved from apes and that the world around us is one big accident that they never even consider if there might be evidence for the other side of the argument.
The reality is that there is evidence. Huge, massive quantities of evidence that God created this world and that He exists.
But the reality is that most Christians do not know about the evidence that God created the earth, and those who do are not usually able to communicate it in an eloquent or logical way.
That is where scholars like Lee Strobel come in. Lee Strobel is an ex-lawyer and an-atheist who has produced some of the very best materials for defending the Christian faith. In particular, his video entitled "The Case For A Creator" does an outstanding job of laying out some of the key evidence that shows that God created the universe, this world and mankind.
If you find yourself at a loss when you get into a debate with an evolutionist, then you NEED to watch this video. It will load you up with enough ammunition to crush the feeble arguments of the typical evolutionist.
A video preview of the DVD is posted at the end of this article. You can also find the DVD on Amazon.com by following the link below.....
The vast majority of Christians have absolutely no idea that the Biblical festivals in the Old Testament are actually extraordinary prophecies that contain amazing evidence for Christianity.
On our new site, Why God, we have posted an article that goes into great detail about the prophetic details of these holidays. This is material that you will NOT find in any Christian book store, so we encourage all of you to go on over and check it out.
But even though God had His people celebrate holidays of such prophetic importance for centuries and centuries before the coming of Christ, the reality is that very few people ever got it.
The Jews still celebrate the festivals but they never realized that the Biblical festivals were all about Yahshua (Jesus). The Christians tossed the festivals aside and started celebrating pagan holidays such as Easter and Christmas instead.
Oh, you didn't know that Christmas and Easter were pagan?
A spring festival for the fertility goddess involving Easter eggs and bunny rabbits was celebrated all over the world for centuries before Jesus was born.
And December 25th was the birthday of many pagan "gods" long before Jesus came to earth. Almost all of the current Christmas traditions can be directly traced back to pagan practices. In fact, there is nothing about December 25th in the Bible. For those not aware of the pagan origins of Christmas, we would encourage them you to watch this short YouTube video.....
You see, Voice of the Martyrs has been sending gospel messages to as many fax-linked telephone numbers inside North Korea as they possibly can.
"We know who you are," an English translation of the North Korean fax says. "We warn you that if you send this kind of dirty fax again something very bad will happen to you. Don't do something you will regret."
Todd Nettleton, the director of media development for Voice of the Martyrs saw this fax as a good sign: "This means that (our) faxes are getting through, and they are being read. It is highly unlikely that this type of response would have been made from an embassy without some approval from Pyongyang."
So is this threat likely to intimidate the Voice of the Martyrs?
Not likely.
Voice of the Martyrs recently released a statement on this incident which said this:
"The Christian teaching is clear. Communists are men and Christ loves them. So does every man who has the mind of Christ. We love the sinner even though we hate the sin. We know about the love of Christ toward the Communists by our own love toward them. There are Christians in Communist prisons with fifty pounds of chains on their feet, tortured with redhot iron pokers, in whose throats spoonfuls of salt had been forced, being kept afterward without water, starving, whipped, suffering from cold – and praying with fervor for the Communists. This is humanly inexplicable! It is the love of Christ, which was poured out in our hearts."
Evolutionists are hailing the discovery of "Ida" as the "missing link" that they have been looking for all this time.
But wait a minute.
Didn't they already tell us that evolution was a proven fact?
Didn't they tell us that they tell us that they already had all the evidence that they needed?
Well, they are now admitting the truth that they did not have the transitional forms they needed for their theory, but now they say that they have found one.
Oh goody!
Well, on closer examination, it appears that this "lemur-like" creature is not such a great find after all. Just check out this YouTube video.....
As other scientists have been given the opportunity to study this "great discovery", the reality is that there are serious doubts about whether it supports the theory of evolution at all.....
Today atheists, skeptics and opponents of Christianity believe that they have the intellectual high ground when it comes to matters of logic, reason, science and faith. The reality is that the exact opposite is true, but our churches are doing a miserable job of equipping us to defend the faith. Hopefully blogs such as this will change all that. If you like what you see here, then please help spread the word about this site.
