The Bible is clear that there is coming a one-world leader at the end of days. Most just call him the antichrist; however, there are many other names for the man.

He is called “The Little Horn” (Daniel 7:8); “The King of Fierce Countenance” (Daniel 8:23); The Man of Sin (2 Thessalonians 2:3); The Son of Perdition (2 Thessalonians 2:3); The Lawless One (2 Thessalonians 2:8);The Beast (Revelation 11:7).

There is much floating over the Internet that Barack Obama is the antichrist. He is not. He simply doesn’t qualify. However, in 2009, he fooled the world into believing that he was a world leader. Many Web sites called him “The President of the world,” “the messiah,” “the world leader,” and much more along those lines. He persuaded the masses that he could unite the world, but to do that, America would have to be reduced from a superpower to the same level as Portugal or Brazil.

Eventually the antichrist will accomplish this, so Obama’s efforts are a run-up to it. During the campaign, he mesmerized the world. Not everyone was fooled, but the world is so longing for a “man with a plan,” a “Mr. Fix-it,” that they bought his redistribution of wealth statements and overlooked a dozen dangerous associations and said they just didn’t matter because this was the closest the world had come in modern history to this so-called “President of the world.” Shortly after the 2008 election, Tunisia was just one country of several that headlined the story, “Today America elects ‘the president of the world.’ ”

Obama World

On David Horowitz’s FrontPageMagazine, David Gutmann makes an interesting case for all of this “Mr. Unity” longing. Gutmann suggests Obama is already wearying of being President of the United States and suggests he is planning a bigger role in the world.

Gutmann says, “I am now betting even more money that our president is not particularly concerned about his own re-election in 2012 and that he will enact as many of his programs in health reform, energy conservation, arms reduction, and income redistribution as he can before his current term expires. He will then try for higher goals. My hunch is that he is already getting restless in his present job, and that he seeks a promotion to an ever greater status.”

Gutmann continues, “Observers of his presidency have been puzzled by the continuing pattern: Obama is still in campaign mode, spending a good deal of time giving major policy speeches, not only in the states but around the globe. What office is he running for now?”

Obama Messiah

Gutmann concludes, “If this is indeed Obama’s fantasy, then it is shared by a sizable portion of the world’s population. A poll taken in September of 2009 by the BBC indicated, at that time, that a large proportion of the global sample favored Obama as world president; and my Google search of ‘Obama, world President,’ turns up more than 120,000 posts.”

Obama Believe

The stars have aligned for radical liberals worldwide. America’s Barack Obama is positioning himself to become the world’s first de facto president. Just a short time ago he was a mere college professor opining on important issues such as health care, education, and poverty. Now, he is taking on more daunting issues such as a “new world order” in the form of foreign appeasement and the surrender of the U.S. currency to foreign dictators. It is terribly emperor-esque.

The German newspaper Der Spiegel stated, “America has voted, and the world has voted along with it. Germany, Europe, every continent on earth has finally discovered the America that is an idea and not just a superpower. In only three countries — Israel, Georgia, and the the Philippines — did a majority prefer John McCain. The rest of the world was Obama country.”

They continue, “There were parties in cities on all continents, and they even celebrated in the Gaza Strip where, normally, the only good Americans are considered dead Americans. Obama is the world’s president, at least for a while.”

Someone wrote on their blog the sentiment below:

Obama is God

You get the drift of this. Obama is paving the way for the antichrist but at this point is too low in opinion/popularity polls to qualify. There are other reasons he is not qualified for this ungodly title. He still has the worship of some people, but he is no friend of God.

There is coming that “single leader.” Could it be that the world is turning into such a mess so that he — the antichrist — will soon come along and say, “I have the answer to solve all these problems”? Obama’s “messiahship” can’t come close to that of the antichrist who will be demonically-appointed to pull a million rabbits out of hats. So what we see now is just a microcosm of what will really happen.

The “New Age Movement” (NAM) has been around since the days of literal Babylon. It gained new strength in the late 1800s and even more in the 1960s, which was the “Age of Aquarius.” While all participants are not occultists, they all do love the supernatural and experiential. They have many “gods.” And they believe the delusion that mankind is getting better and better. Because they believe such a myriad of ideas, some call these misguided seekers “cosmic soup.”

In the 1980s, I gave seminars on this “new spirituality,” which it has been renamed in the 21st century. I studied it then and knew it almost as well as those who were enjoying their altered states of consciousness. Thankfully, I wasn’t.

In more recent years, the cause has been furthered by the woman who never met a false teaching she didn’t love –Oprah Winfrey. She has paraded one guru after another on her many platforms and made most of them wildly successful.

In 1982, I chuckled at who I thought was just another deluded crackpot, Benjamin Crème, who was taking out full-page ads in multiple newspapers announcing the soon-arrival of Lord Maitraya. This superhero was to come on the scene for the benefit of all religions and belief-systems. He was to be the new “messiah.” And while these deceived followers of mystical enlightenment fully believed he could save the world, I wondered if he was just a fantasy in the esoteric minds of Crème — a John the Baptist type — and many NAM idealistic dreamers.

But now 25 years later, TV commercials are airing about Lord Maitraya! Why was I a doubter? One such commercial can be found here. As a matter of fact, Benjamin Crème and references to Maitraya are found all over the Internet’s favorite pastime, YouTube. In the minds of Maitraya’s followers, he is just over the horizon ready to appear in his mystical, Eastern glory. Another is here.

Once again we see the foundation for the one-world religious system forming. As Chuck Missler said on my radio program this past weekend (February 28), to be posted late Monday, the apparitions of Mary, which are all over the world now, will be a uniter of religions because so many respect her, including Islam. We carry both a book and a DVD of this found here. The Vatican, in fact, may become the infrastructure for the one-world religion.

Clearly this “New Age Movement” or “new spirituality” will play a prominent role in the global religion. The antichrist will allow the “false prophet” to have a lying-signs-and- wonders party for 3 ½ years and that’s it. From then on, only “Mr. Fix-it” can have all the glory. Only the “man-with-a-plan” will have the spotlight after that.

In my study for my seminars some years ago, I learned quickly that almost all who are a part of the cults and false religious systems are like sheep without a shepherd. They are desperate, primed for deception, jumping from one costly therapy, seminar, technique, or group, all seeking the ever-illusive “higher self” and the “god within.”

They would see themselves as “spiritual” people. They even refer to “the christ within” but it is a counter-christ. They may be shocked when they stand before the Lord and He says to them, “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who do the will of my Father in Heaven will enter” (Matthew 7:21-23).

While there is time, share the gospel with them. Some have a Christian background and have twisted the terms you and I know. They will say they believe in God but it is the “god within.” They will flaunt their “Christ consciousness.”

This is just more end-time deception and delusion but souls are involved so don’t write these people off without offering them new life! You are not responsible for their decision. And if you see the Lord Maitraya commercial on TV, use it as a reminder to pray without ceasing for the deception that abounds today.

It is also a reminder of the many “false christs” the Bible predicts for the last days. Whether or not there is any credibility in Creme and Maitraya really isn’t the point. The point is that many are looking for false saviors today.

Awaiting His return,
