In more recent years we have heard some teaching that Henry Kissinger was the antichrist, or David Rockefeller, or Anwar Sadat, or Mikhail Gorbachev because he had that little birthmark on his head, or Ronald Reagan because he had six letters in his name, or Saddam Hussein because he was from Iraq which is ancient Babylon. They change the antichrist with each political election, with every war, or with the rise of every ruthless dictator who appears to have a global following or threatens our Western way of life. And yet another person stated that she expected him to come from outer space at any minute! One popular writer writes a series of books, which have brought to him an enormous reputation and (be it said) an equally handsome monetary reward, by telling us, almost as though reading the morning newspapers, exactly what is going to happen at any moment now, yet assuring us in the same sentence, and with the same impression of infallibility, that it really does not concern the church anyway — we shall be safely away in heaven before the events of his books begin to come to pass! “O, my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err” (Isa. 3:12; 9:16). But we now know the answer to all these predictions. They were nothing more than the presumptuous guesses of idle shepherds who were destitute of truth. And the unbelievable reality is that many Christians are so gullible and so susceptible to this kind of sensational trash, that they have no better sense than to glory in it, even though the statements are proven false, one after another, by the actual events then transpiring before their very eyes!
