Charisma has an article on neo-Pentecostal revivalist Rodney Howard Browne:
He said in the last six months the U.S. has advanced socialistic policies that could lead to religious persecution, and eventually set the stage for a one-world government and the introduction of the Antichrist.
“I don’t think the American church is ready for what’s coming because the preachers are preaching each other’s sermons; they are prophesying each other’s prophecies,” he said. “People are asleep at the wheel.
“The only thing we can do is bring in the harvest of souls,” he added, noting that he plans to host a Great Awakening Tour event in Washington, D.C., Sept. 7-11 but is still seeking churches to sponsor it. “This is not about a government bailout. The government cannot change what’s coming. … We’ve got to see a revival. We’ve got to see a Great Awakening.”
The idea of Obama as being either the Anti-Christ or his forerunner is spreading rapidly among conservative American Christians; of course, this kind of conflation of prophetic vision and political preference – used to here to whip up fear and paranoia rather than reasonable dissent – is not in itself a new development.
