In an interview published yesterday in New York Magazine, President Obama claimed his political opponents won’t talk about the real reason why they avoid being seen with him in public. He cited examples of when he hugged Charlie Crist in Florida and was seen surveying hurricane damage with Chris Christie in New Jersey.
They’re looking at Charlie Crist down in Florida. One hug [from me] and he was toast. Chris Christie couldn’t get his presidential race launched — it was basically over before it started — because he was too friendly and cooperative with me in accepting federal aid for a state that had been devastated by a hurricane. They’re imagining the potential problems that arise, so it’s pretty hard for them to publicly say, “Obama’s a perfectly reasonable guy, but we just can’t work with him because our base thinks he’s the Antichrist.” It’s a lot easier for them to say, “Oh, the guy’s not listening to us,” or, “He’s uncompromising.” [read the whole interview]
He just claimed his opponents secretly think he is a “perfectly reasonable guy,” and the only reason they don’t say it publicly is because their base thinks he is the antichrist. He seems to believe his opponents secretly admire him and like him, which fits perfectly with the boastful, delusional personality of the antichrist as described by the prophet Daniel. The NASB translation says “he will magnify himself in his heart.” The New Revised Standard translation says “in his own mind he shall be great” (Daniel 8:25).
For many Christians, the only antichrist they know is the one they’ve seen in Hollywood movies, but we need to get that person out of our thinking because Hollywood consistently rewrites the scriptures to fit their own agenda, just like they did to Noah in the 2014 movie staring Russell Crowe. They’ve done the same to just about every character in the Bible, including the Lord Jesus.
The antichrist we see in the movies is portrayed as being truly great, charismatic, and handsome, but none of those attributes are found anywhere in the Bible. Some people have even rejected the possibility that Obama could be the antichrist based only on the fact he does not have the attributes they saw in the movies. Of course, they don’t say it that way, but they claim Obama is disqualified due to his lack of charisma or because he is not handsome enough.
The Biblical antichrist will be given mighty power, but even that won’t be to his credit because he will not attain it by his own power (Daniel 8:24). The only place he will be truly great is in his own mind, thinking highly of himself, magnifying himself in his heart, even to the point of being a narcissist and a bragger, always talking about how great he is because he adores himself so much. He is a sick, despicable character, just like his father, the devil. He will even magnify himself to be equal with the Commander of the host, which is the Lord Jesus Christ (Daniel 7:8 and 8:11).
To most people, the idea that Obama could be the antichrist sounds absurd. I also laughed out loud the first time I heard it, but after hearing it repeatedly, I finally asked God about it. When I did, I was surprised by what He showed me, which is why I encourage everyone to ask God about it.
So when Obama talks about people who think he is the antichrist, it sounds so absurd most people just assume he must be using the term “antichrist” loosely as a synonym for an evil person. So his words are translated in their hearing as, “their base thinks I am a bad person.”
Maybe that’s all he was trying to say, but that is not what he said. Coming from him, it was an interesting choice of words. After all, we already know his favorite subject is himself, so it makes sense he would mention the antichrist, which sounds like way too much of a coincidence to just dismiss it the way the rest of the world has likely already done.
One thing we can dismiss is the literal translation of what he said. The idea that his opponents are catering to people who believe he is the antichrist cannot be true because the number of people who currently believe that is way too small to have any influence over any major political candidates or parties. There are no big name Christian leaders openly claiming he is the antichrist and since they won’t say it, their followers won’t either. So that leaves only a small number of outcasts, far too few for anyone to take seriously as a political force, including Obama.
So why else would he say it? I came up with three possible reasons.
- First, maybe he likes the idea that people believe he could be the man identified in the ancient prophecies of the Bible. Maybe he is flattered by the idea, so it is just another way for him to stroke his own ego. We already know how much he likes to brag, so maybe it is just a sick form of boasting.
- Second, the Bible tells us the man of lawlessness will conceal his identity until the Lord exposes him for all the world to see (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4). This is necessary because no one would follow him if they knew his true identity. So if Obama is the antichrist, he would be hiding his true identity at this stage of his career. What better place to hide than in plain sight? In other words, by openly acknowledging the existence of people who believe he is the antichrist, he is publicly discrediting them as lunatics. Even though they are small in numbers, he could be taking control of the public narrative by turning the media and the public against them. If he can establish that idea by getting it out in the open, he will have succeeded in discrediting anyone who believes he is the antichrist. Then they will be unable to threaten his power, even if their numbers grow, because most people will have already concluded they are lunatics and tuned them out.
- Third, he claimed his political opponents would be more honest about their true views if it were not for those people in their base who think he is the antichrist. In other words, the truth is being distorted and silenced because of those lunatics. He could be selling the idea that this group of people is a nuisance and a pest. What comes next? Well, why not just eliminate them for the sake of greater truth and honesty?
If he never mentions “those people” again, then perhaps he meant nothing by it, but if this becomes a common theme, then beware because he could have a hidden agenda to discredit and vilify anyone who knows his true identity.

Hey James, a lot of the Bible does not support the idea, and for me it’s ludicrously Americanized view, for example:
10.) The Antichrist will come from one of the four divisions of Alexander the Great’s Empire. (Daniel 8:8-9)
The four divisions of Alexander’s Empire are: the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, the Seleucid Empire in the east, the Kingdom of Pergamon in Asia Minor, and Macedon. None of which contained, Kenya, Hawaii, or obviously anywhere else in America.
I believe strongly the Lord has shown me a glimpse of what he looks like, and that fits the geographical area. Check out also Rhonda Empson’s 2 videos about it, keep an open mind. Blessings!
Obama had the replica of Pergamon behind him at I believe where he was doing his acceptance speech. He also had the huge white horse on his hind legs above that showing the world who he is. Noone caught it apparently. you can find it online and he threw it right in our face who he was.
This was how the Jews missed the Messiah when He came on the scene. They did not go into the Torah to find out who He was and asked questions of the mother, Mary where Jesus was born. They just assumed that because He grew up in Nazareth, hence no good thing could come out of that. People shine your eyes and the Good Lord will ultimately reveal this identity some of us have known for some time. James it is well with you. Anything that is considered far fetched is the wisdom of the world!
Wise men learn from history:
was Hitler handsome?
Thanks Stella.
Again all you have to say sounds correct and I have covered this ground myself biblically on numerous occasions; on the other hand,you will find Mr. Sotero is given power as the head of the United Nations and eventually will station himself originally north of Israel in a city being prepared for him and he will indeed be the one that enters into the third temple and puts an end to sacrifice; abolishing it. That time is not far away
I agree the antichrist will come from one of the four divisions of the Greek empire, specifically the Assyrian region. However, the antichrist imitates the Christ in many ways and one of them is they both have two assignments. The antichrist’s first assignment is revealed in Daniel 11:39. He must complete that to prepare the way for his second assignment. For more details, please see my recent post:

Good morning James. I do respect you and I really enjoy reading the articles on this site, but this one seems to be a tad bit too much. I may believe in something so much that I begin to see every circumstance as a way to justify my beliefs. Have you ever read Mideast Beast by Joel Richardson? Could it be that Obama is a forerunner of the antichrist? I want to believe that Obama is the antichrist because you do make a compelling case, but it seems that many articles (not just here) attribute every little thing to Obama being the antichrist. Yes, Mr. Obama’s choice of words is quite interesting.
I remember watching when he won the 2008 election and this thought came to me: This is how it will be when the antichrist puts in his appearance. It never once occurred to me that he was the antichrist. Sometimes the things I read just seem a bit too farfetched. If you haven’t read Mideast Beast yet, I would like to encourage you to do so as it gives a whole different perspective. All I can do like most people is keep an open mind and pray concerning this serious issue.
As usual thank you for writing such thought provoking articles and posting information to keep us informed. I know you are doing a good work and like Nehemiah you won’t come down. Bless you, James.
Thanks Paula. His comment might be just a coincidence, but I shared it because I believe it is worth watching to see if he continues making similar comments.
Regarding the Mideast Beast, I believe Obama will move to that region for his next assignment after he completes his first assignment here.
Thank you James. I do remember reading your earlier posts where you did say that. I am so careful not to offend when I share my views, because I really do want to hear from God concerning this matter. I do believe God is speaking very clearly to you about Obama. It’s just a bit hard for me to grasp at times but what you and others say does make sense. Regardless of what we believe, the important thing is to remain a state of readiness and prepare our hearts to meet our Lord and Saviour. Bless you.
James
Likely Astana Kazakhstan will be his initial post for the next assignment-I agree, that new assignment is coming
Ed
I have read much of Joel Richardson’s works as well as Middle East beast. I respect Joel quite a bit but Joel misses the point entirely and I can assure you that Mr. Sotero is the one second Thessalonians speaks about
God was true to His promise of Amos 3 right after Obama was elected. He gave several prophecies in November of 2008 right after the election. Jesus also gave a very important one on the eve of the 09 inauguration. I encourage all to read those very profound warnings. God gave them for you all. We we see the head wound and the resurrection by Satan no one will have an excuse to say they did not know who he was.
Here are God’s 2008 warnings… http://revelation12.ca/?page_id=233
Thanks for sharing this Nancy! I also laughed (an understatement) and said “omg, are these people serious?” when I first read about OB being the lawless one! (Actually I heard that for the first time here on z3 some time last December… please take no offense James 🙂 I was being clueless). I have not yet had the “direct” confirmation yet but I have been asking Him in prayer! I believe He will reveal it to me when it is the right time. Meanwhile I am watching him like there is no tomorrow!!!! Blessings!
Thanks for sharing this awesome testimony Nancy. I believe you heard from God.
Thanks James, I appreciate all of your articles and insights. I know who ‘he’ is. I know because the Lord showed me. Just a few years ago, I had no clue. But I wanted to know and I began to ask the Lord directly to tell me things, I began to spend time with Him and I actually began to read the Bible more than I read books about the Bible.
The man of lawlessness will conceal his identity, it is true. But once you know, you are looking for the signs. Because he is actually giving himself away, to those who ‘see’ and ‘hear’. And is this not the Spirit of prophecy at work?
Keep on exposing him. May the Lord bless you incredibly and give you eyes to see and ears to hear, even more so than you already have.
Thanks Alison. As you stated, it comes by revelation. Whenever people want to debate this topic, the best answer I know is to just ask God about it.
Allison, I agree “keep on exposing him.” James I appreciate that you keep putting it out there for us all to see because it is SOOOO important for us to know that Obama is the antichrist and that the Mark of the Beast will come through Obamacare. I think we all know by now that the majority of Christianity is asleep and lukewarm and totally unaware of Obama being the antichrist. It HAS to be us to warn them, those that have our spiritual eyes and ears open. It HAS TO BE US!!! Nobody else is going to do it!! They MUST be warned because otherwise when the catastrophe(s) happen they will blindly follow what everyone else is doing. This is CRITICAL!!! It is the one thing that I tell people that totally don’t want to listen about the end of days, hoping that they will remember when they need it.
Thanks again James for continuing to warn!! LOVE WARNS!!! LOVE WARNS!! God loves us and so is warning us and through our love for people we must warn them!!! Shalom.
Just because someone was born somewhere else does not mean that they do not have Assyrian blood. I think people get hung up on the possibility of him being the antichrist because they think it is all geographical but I think it’s more about who he is (his bloodline) then where he lives. Just because someone lives in China, doesn’t make them Chinese. I believe so many will be deceived because he won’t fit into their idea of who he should be or what he should look like. I think it could be that the antichrist could be living here, wouldn’t it be something for him to boast about being the one to take down this nation from within. In order for his system to be formed he’d have to dismantle this nation and I think because of his arrogance he would want to do it himself!
Especially since this nation is the only other nation built on the belief in the One True God and his laws! Ronald Reagan said “This IS one nation under God” whereas BO said “We are no longer a Christian nation.” The enemy has a thing about revealing his plan but making people think it’s so absurd that it can’t be true and with what BO just said and that video he did at that dinner, it does make me wonder. I have had a bad feeing about him from the beginning. The enemy has been working overtime to remove God from this nation BUT he can’t do it because God will not be moved! He is with us even to the end of the age!
Thanks for sharing this confirmation SavedJon. I collect these revelations so I just added yours to the list.
Wow…. He has said it all now. The end of republic, natural disasters & alien invasion, and finally “Antichrist”. Thanks for the post James. I am still waiting for “direct” confirmation but yes I could believe it. Last night I was doing my online bible studies (revelation chap 2, the church of pergamos). I learned about the “seat of satan” = the altar of zeus. Then i saw the picture of 2008 Democratic convention. That really shot chills down my spine….. Blessings!
That’s right, he made his acceptance speech from the altar of Zeus. Also, a giant statue of a white horse from Revelation 6:1-2 was over him that night. I documented those events here:
https://z3news.com/w/rider-on-white-horse-riding-america/
The Rothschild’s have a large mosaic floor of Apollo is their large estate home and have a place set for Satan at the dining table every night. All the ancient diety worship was pagan occultism with just different names for the gods/goddesses to avoid calling them Lucifer/Satan so they could be more accepted. Deceit and lies are the basis for all pagan religions.
Thanks James. I must have missed out that post.. a great one!
Chloe, and everyone else that has not seen it PLEASE PLEASE watch a 9:38 video. I don’t know how to do links but type in
“Seat of Satan – Connect the Dots.” by Nameofthelord777
I am 100% convinced that Obama is the anti-christ and this article is more confirmation, so thank you James. This video is one of several excellent ones. There are literally hundreds of things that point to Obama and I for one am eternally grateful to know who to keep my eye on and to warn others about!!
Hi Tammy. Here it is – https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=06DjnZjLBFM. Thanks for sharing! 😀
Hi Tammy, I watched the video and all I can say is wow!! Thank you!
Paula and Expat gal, you are welcome!! I have several really key videos that I share with people but that one is so powerful because it is not subjective at all. It just is what it is!! Hidden in plain sight!
Thanks Tammy!
Chloe see my comment above… the direct confirmation of Rev 13 is going to happen soon.
James,
Excellent post! Oh, I truly believe this will become a major theme – those weird fanatical lunatics… From what the Lord told me, the heat is getting ready to be turned up big time – in ways I believe most have never dreamed.
Thank you for speaking the truth and not holding back. I pray everyone reading this, will take it to the Lord in prayer, as this is truly by revelation only!
Thanks again James for all you do. God gave me conformation a few nights ago out of the blue that you are a messenger for him. Bless you in the name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ
We have a saying in my country..’ten Frenchmen can’t be wrong.’ So with all the dreams and visions so many people have been having of Obama as the Antichrist, it certainly does point towards him. Time will tell. We don’t have long to wait.
Agree in triplicate!
