Too Many Messiahs

Have you noticed that several recent world leaders have been portrayed as "messiahs"? Here are a few examples:

1. George W. Bush

A picture emerges from the President's [George W. Bush] public statements - and even from such adulatory accounts as Bob Woodward's Bush at War and David Frum's The Right Man - of a President on a divine mission.

Call it messianic militarism.

2. His sidekick Tony Blair

Tony Blair believed he was a god-like figure who has arguably lost his mind, a former close friend of the ex-Prime Minister has said.

3. Barack Obama

Barbara Walters admitted on a broadcast appearance with Piers Morgan that maybe Christmas wasn’t the time to say it, but it’s true - the media regarded President Obama as the “next messiah” because of his promises and policies.

“He made so many promises,” she said, The Blaze reported. “We thought that he was going to be - I shouldn’t say this at Christmastime, but - the next messiah.

These three all were (and still are) false messiahs. Jesus warned us about such men:

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:5 KJV

It's too early to tell how Hillary will be portrayed, but considering what has been happening it is likely we will be told she is going "save" us - from Trump and the other imagined evils of the world.

But clearly she is not Jesus, so she must be a false messiah or an antichrist. Take care that you do not fall under her spell.
