Biblical scholars in Colorado Springs have uncovered startling evidence
that Senator John McCain may be the Antichrist. Their conclusions,
while highly controversial, may have a dramatic impact on the 2008
elections, since many Bible-believing Christians have already expressed
doubts about McCain's fealty to Christianity.
The analysis was conducted by the respected True Bible Society, and it will be published next month in the End Times Journal.
The analysis was especially ironic, given that it came out just one
day after McCain was accused of subtly hinting that Barack Obama could
be the Antichrist. McCain ran a commercial depicting Obama as "The
One," giving rise to charges that he was sending a subliminal messages
to anti-Obama Christians.
Ironic, I would call it calculated projection, but that is just me....
"What started us looking at this issue is the fact that Senator
McCain has declared his intention to maintain US forces in Iraq for a
hundred years," said David Jenkins, a leading Biblical scholar. "That
means that McCain wants to control Babylon for at least a century."
According to many scholars of the Book of Revelation, the Antichrist
will try to rebuild the ancient city of Babylon in order to use it as a
springboard for an international effort at world domination.
Ultimately, the Antichrist will marshal forces from Babylon to spark a
showdown with Christian and Jewish-led forces in the battle of
Armageddon.

Jenkins said his teams suspicions were further heightened when
genealogical research showed that McCain's great-grandfather was
actually not John McCain, but John Mihai. Mihai is an ancient Romanian
name, and according to Bible-believing Christians, the Antichrist is
likely to be a Romanian. "What clinched it for us was that the name Mihai means 'who is like the Lord,'" said Jenkins. "As far as we're
concerned, that was enough. It means that McCain might easily pretend
to be the Redeemer."

On another note, this is the only time you will ever hear me defending McCain.
