[QUOTE="BlandOatmeal, post: 63649110, member: 137411"] Hi, Psalm. Unfortunately, we have seen leaders far more evil than Obama. When I think of how evil Hitler was, I shudder to think that the one to come will be more [I]dangerous (not evil -- that's a hard one to call) [/I]than he was. I believe the archetype of "Antichrist", if indeed that's the name we should call the beast, was [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiochus_IV_Epiphanes"]Antiochus Epiphanes[/URL]. In Jewish eyes, Antiochus (whom they call "Epimanes", or "Madman") was more evil in what he did, than even Hitler. Hitler tried to exterminate the Jewish people; Antiochus tried to force the Jewish people to abandon their religion and their God. Antiochus is the one who set up the "Abomination that maketh desolate", that Jesus referred to in Matthew 24: [CENTER][IMG]http://leavethecult.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/the-disecration-of-the-temple.jpg?w=379&h=261[/IMG] THE DESECRATION OF THE TEMPLE BY ANTIOCHUS IV EPIPHANES -- [url=http://leavethecult.com/2012/04/26/the-abomination-that-causes-desolation/]The Abomination that Causes Desolation « leave the cult[/url] [LEFT] That abomination was apparently a statue of Zeus. The reference I gave, which speaks of the prophecy already having been fulfilled, ignores the fact that Jesus spoke of it as happening in the last days. In other words, what Antiochus did was merely a TYPE of what is to come. I don't know what form the Antichrist religion will take in the last days, or what form the abomination will take, what idol standing in the place where it ought not be.
