I think his election might very well be part of the process of smoothing the path for the Antichrist. It's clear from Scripture that, in the very end times (like the Tribulation), the real centers of power will be Europe and the Middle East. (The "kings of the east" play a part, too: and China is now coming on strong.) By then, America must be a third or fourth-rate power, and Obama is just the man to get us there with his "international" outlook and his weakness on defense.

A man like Reagan, or maybe even McCain, wouldn't hand over all our sovereignty to the UN or the European Union. But Obama might do just that.

So, Obama's election might mean that the Tribulation is right around the corner. But we figured that the Rapture could come any day, so it's no big surprise!
