The 27 Characteristics of the AntiChrist
Know how to recognize the beast and not be swayed into believing that someone is the AntiChrist who doesn't match the biblical characteristics.
1. He comes from among ten kings in the restored Roman Empire; his authority will have similarities to the ancient Babylonians, Persians, and Greeks [Daniel 7:24; Rev 13:2 / Daniel 7:7]​

The Roman Empire is yet to be truly resurrected. All we have is the UN and it is not very effective. There is the EU, The EU could fit it and America is not part of the EU

2. He will subdue three kings [Daniel 7:8, 24]
To be fulfilled by the Antichrist. The only "kings' America recently subdued was done by Bush

3. He is different from the other kings [Daniel 7:24]
This on could fit Obama.

4. He will rise from obscurity…a “little horn” [Daniel 7:8]
?


5. He will speak boastfully [Daniel 7:8; Rev 13:5]
From what I could gather, Bush was better speech that the world could remember that what Obama does.


6. He will blaspheme God, [Daniel 7:25; 11:36; Rev 13:5] slandering His Name, dwelling place, and departed Christians and Old Testament saints [Rev 13:6]
Obama has yet to do this, as he sees himself as a Christian


7. He will oppress the saints and be successful for 3 ½ years [Daniel 7:25; Rev 13:7]
In the future. To be fulfilled by the Antichrist.

8. He will try to change the calendar, perhaps to define a new era, related to himself [Daniel 7:25]
In the future. To be fulfilled by the Antichrist.

9. He will try to change the laws, perhaps to gain an advantage for his new kingdom and era [Dan 7:25]
Every Leader in power change laws to fit them and there viewpoint.

10. He will not be succeeded by another earthly ruler, but by Christ [Daniel 7:26-27]
In the future. To be fulfilled by the Antichrist.

11. He will confirm a covenant with “many”, i.e. the Jewish people [Daniel 9:27]
This covenant will likely involve the establishment of a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem
[see Dan 9:27; Matt 24:15]
The Israeli - US treaty was started in or shortly after 1945 after the Israeli "independence"

12. He will put an end to Jewish sacrifice and offerings after 3 ½ years and will set up an abomination to God in the Temple [Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15]
In the future. To be fulfilled by the Antichrist.

13. He will not answer to a higher earthly authority; “He will do as he pleases”[Daniel 11:36]
As faras I know and have read Obama is struggling to implement his health reform, so saying he does as he pleases is a bit of a stretch. Bush fits this outlook to a tee.

14. He will show no regard for the religion of his ancestors [Daniel 11:37]
Obama looks like he is very respectful about his religion

15. He will not believe in any god at all [except for himself] [Daniel 11:37]
Obama says he is a christian

16. He will have "no regard for the desire of women": He will either be asexual or homosexual
[Dan 11:37]
Not Obama, being a family man

17. He will claim to be greater than any god [Daniel 11:37; 2 Thess 2:4]
So far not Obama, In the future. To be fulfilled by the Antichrist.

18. He will claim to be God [2 Thessalonians 2:4]
See 15 and 14

19. He will only honor a “god” of the military. His whole focus and attention will be on his military. He will conquer lands and distribute them [Daniel 11:39-44]
According to what I've read he is trying to get out of war and focusing on US and not so much on War.

20. His arrival on the world scene will be accompanied by miracles, signs and wonders [2 Thess 2:9]
Not Obama, In the future. In the future. To be fulfilled by the Antichrist.

21. Either he, or his companion [The False Prophet], will claim to be Christ [Matt 24:21-28]
In the future. To be fulfilled by the Antichrist.

22. He will claim that Jesus did not come in the flesh, or that Jesus did not rise bodily from the grave
[2 John 7]. He will deny that Jesus is the Messiah [I John 2:22]
See above 14 and 15

23. He will be worshiped by many people [Rev. 13:8]
In the future. To be fulfilled by the Antichrist. A lot of people I know in the US, Don't like Obama.

24. He will hate a nation that initially will have some control over his kingdom, but he will destroy this nation [Rev 17:16-18]
To be fulfilled by the Antichrist. No other nation ruled America when Obama became President

25. He will appear to survive a fatal injury [Rev. 13:3; 17:8]
In the future. To be fulfilled by the Antichrist.

26. His name will be related to the number six hundred and sixty six—but not necessarily in an obvious fashion [Rev 13:17-18].
Obama's name supposedly add up to 666, so does Stalin, Hitler, Both the Bushes and even Clinton

27. He will be empowered by the devil himself [Rev. 13:2]

In the future. To be fulfilled by the Antichrist.
