Louis Farrakhan has called Barrack Hussien Obama the Messiah,
but Farrakhan is a Muslim. Islam does have a Messiah, but this person is called the Mahdi, the 12th Iman, he is also called Muhammad al-Mahdi. Since Farrakhan is a Muslim and does not beleive that Jesus was the Messiah, the son of GOD, he must be speaking, as a Muslim, of the Mahdi. But who is this Mahdi?
Wikipedia has a this as one of the Mahdi's traits. Shi'as believe that al-Mahdi will reappear when the world has fallen into chaos and civil war emerges between the human race for no reason. At this time, it is believed, half of the true believers will ride from Yemem carrying white flags to Mecca, while the other half will ride from Karbala, in Iraq, carrying black flags to Mecca. At this time, al-Mahdi will come wielding God's Sword, the Blade of Evil's Bane, Zulfiqar, the Double-Bladed Sword.
A Christian can see uncany similarities to the second coming of Jesus. In the Wikipedia article I found a photo of the 12th Imams seal. This seal is found at Islam's second most holy mosque, Al-Masjid al-Nabawi. In (the Mosque of the Prophet in Medina) and in this seal is something very frighting.
Researching this I came across something interesting when I rotated the seal 90 degrees clockwise, and inverted the colors for clarity. Greek letters started to appear. These letters have some very special significance to Christians. These letters are Cxϛ and appear in the book of Revelation, in the last verse of Chapter 13. These letters are translated as 666. The only difference is that in the photo they appear as ϛxC which is backwards. However one only need to remember that Arabic is written and read from right to left, not as Greek is from left to right. In the end it does not matter as these numbers however written all have the same sum, the sum of these numbers is 666. You will need to click on the photo to see the detail.
"Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666" Revelation 13:18
My personal opinion that I have on the number is that it is actually 616, and that this number has special significance to Christians, because 616 is number that appears on the oldest parchment, and it makes us (Christians) reevaluate our relationship with the son of God, which is a good thing. I am including this as I beleive that 666 may actually point to a counterfeit AntiChrist, who will keep Christians in the dark until the very end when it is too late.
Yet, why is the al-Mahdi important to Islam, and especially to the Iranian brand of Islam called Shia. Here is an interesting view of how the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad views the importance of the al-Mahdi in his relations with the world.
I am not certian if I want to call Barrack Hussien Obama THE AntiChrist, but I am certian that if he is elected President of the United States the Muslim world will call him one of two things, al-Mahdi or al-Murtadd. Either, he will be viewed as their savior or as the great Apostate.
What I am without a doubt of, is that as true disciples of the son of the living GOD of Israel, who is Yeshua of Nazareth, we should not go running out and try to do evil to Muslims. Our savior said we are not to repay evil with evil, and that we are to love our enemies. We must remember what our savior said, those of us who are without sin, should cast the first stone. So before we go running around calling Muslims the antichrists, we should look in the mirror to see if the mark that we all so dread is not on our foreheads.
