I tend to feel it's pretty soon, myself before the "End of the World as we Know It", so to speak. We can't predict the exact when, but, although I've heard you can't take the Apocrypha as hard scripture, there were comments about the end times, which, based on the reading is between the US (the eagle) and Israel (the lion) looks to be around either rapture-time or even on toward Armageddon age at the end of the 7 years. It speaks about the eagle having 2 kings that would die (Lincoln and Kennedy I figure), and that this time would be halfway in time... perhaps either the rapture or the end of the 7 years would be this length of time. If you take Kennedy's death in '63 and subtract 1776, and add that number to 1963, you get 2150. Personally, I think the end will come quite before then (although you never know). Or you could do it the other way... take Lincoln's death in '65 and minus 1776 and get 89 and add that to 1963 and get 2052. That sounds more realistic. I'm giving it till the late '10s, or early '20s before this societal age has "run its course", but we shall see. Sooner the better, it feels like.

Obama being the Antichrist, the AC (or "air conditioner" as me and a friend call that rat bastard (after all, he's cold-hearted and full of air)); I don't think so. There will be 2 leaders during the time, a political leader and a religious leader; it is my understanding that the religious leader shall be the AC himself (let me know if I'm wrong there). That can't be Obama, I don't feel... the Pope is pretty much the religious leader of the world, the one whom many many turn to because he is "more godlike" than "normal people". It will have to come to be that the Catholic church decides to start soaking up other random beliefs from other religions, that the -one- religion shall be embracable by all (not sure what they intend to do with atheists, unless they throw some Scientology stuff in there). Obama could however be the political leader, although, when you consider a person that can't survive without a teleprompter, I'm not sure he has the wherewithall to be THAT guy; unless the teleprompter thing is but an act, or he himself gets his demonic "inspiration" and confidence in this manner (after all, it is demons' influence in somebody's life that they get their true power, much as a Christian would get say... power to heal or walk on water from the Lord Himself). Man alone can't do wonderous things without outside influence, whether that be the right kind or the wrong kind.

I will say that the braq-o-baw-maw reference is pretty tripped out, however. I wonder if they make Hebrew bibles written in English "phoenetic" spellings beside of or in lieu of Hebrew characters. That would make it easier to search for interesting phrases in the bible as written in Hebrew, but in text we could read (much as Japanese written in standard text is a thing that is done). If you ever hear of such a bible, let me know, because that would be interesting... of course, it would be best to learn Hebrew and Greek and be able to just go ahead and read the origin texts as written. Although, I'm also on the hunt for a non super-expensive 1611 KJV.

You make some good points. the end is coming pretty soon, I fear, and I have never heard of Apochrypha, so I'm just going to leave that one alone ^__^;;

I don't necessarily believe Obama to be the Antichrist himself, but rather a person opening the gateway to the next stage toward the Antichrist.
and lol he's definitely an AC

I will let you know if I hear about such a thing and send you a link or something like that if I can.

Sorry I don't give a long reply. I'm not much for the longer replies ^__^;;
