In a way, it's not that difficult to imagine the time of Antichrist today in 2013 -- since we're so close and all!
Wise men even say that we're in the "dress rehearsal for Antichrist" today.
The techniques that have been recently born will continue to be used, with ever-increasing potency and precision.
It will be like Vatican II, 9/11, etc. etc.
I think Raoul is especially on to something with the whole "being complicit with deception" thing. When it becomes very inconvenient for a person to admit X, he is more inclined to deny it -- even if the reasoning for denying X is downright ridiculous. Normally I wouldn't think that possible, but what I've seen (in the last 13 years alone) proves otherwise.
I mean, who would have thought we'd have a "President Obama" less than 7 years after the world was convinced that the 9/11 attacks were perpetrated by a Muslim named "Osama"? I used to think that human psychology alone would have prevented that.
And isn't it obvious that Obama isn't a natural-born citizen? And he seems to be destroying the country and leading us to communism in ways that Carter, Clinton, etc. could only dream about. He's our first Muslim president, and his actions and agenda are beyond the pale. And yet he got re-elected! And still few want to admit that we have a real problem here in the USA.
Yes you are so right. Obama was even voted a second was shock too. Vatican ii Catholics like cardinal Dolan, sr Simone Campbell, sr carol keehan, nj gov Christie were hugging and kissing Obama after the attacks on Catholicism when God was booed and catholic teachings were tossed aside for Obamacare.
