Interesting wording by the Italian Prime Minister:
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi gave an enthusiastic, if unconventional, welcome on Thursday to the election of Barack Obama, citing among his attributes youth, good looks and a "suntan."
Speaking at a joint news conference with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Moscow, the 72-year-old media tycoon also said Obama's election to the White House had been "hailed by world public opinion as the arrival of a messiah."

can we please not make this a 70AD debate? pretty please with sugar on top?
Deac, I agree....
These assertions are things that we have heard so often that they, in and of themselves, have become scripture in the minds of many people.
These are assertions with no scriptural basis except for a willy nilly application of a piece of a scripture here and a piece of a scripture there tied together with one "experts" interpretation after another.
The interpretations themselves hold as much clout as the actual holy writ.
What you are asking is "Can we please let these unscriptural assertions go without anybody pointing out that these concepts that the Antichrist is going to do this, or do that, or be this person or be that person are not found in scripture."
This is one of the reasons that the trinity doctine is so pervasive. If people had to form their doctrine strictly on what the Bible does say there would be far less error.

Look bro. I got no issue with you asking for chapter and verse... good for you....
I just get tired head when I see these kind of things devolve into a perterist/pre trib debate.... those are fine in context. you might even from time to time see me play along... and for the record, I am decidedly undecided on escatology in general. so im not taking this position to shut people up...
ask for your scripture... if given fine, if not you made your point..... but lets please keep the deep waters in the deep waters and let us political junkies be free to lament at our leasure!
Peace..... (and safety)

Perusing my posts it appears that I have done just that.
Great thoughts DB! I really do feel that with Obama elected as our president that we are closer than ever to the second coming of Jesus.
And THATS the best news of all!
Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Luk 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Jhn 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
