Who is the true antichrist according to the teachings of the Holy Bible? Do we already have the antichrist in the world now or not? Is the coming of the antichrist an event that is going to happen in the nearest future or it has already happened or it has already taken place? How can we know and identify an antichrist in our world of today if the antichrist is already here? What are the biblical signs of the presence of the antichrist in the world?
Antichrist is a biblical concept that is associated with Jesus Christ and the Christian journey of faith. The word antichrist in the Koine Greek which was the original language of the entire New Testament Bible is the word "anticristoV" which means instead of Christ, against Christ, opposition to Christ and opposite of Christ.
The term antichrist was coined by Apostle John and he used it 4 times in his two letters of 1st Book Of John and the 2nd Book of John respectively. The term antichrist was not used again in the other 65 books of the entire Holy Bible but the concept can be seen clearly or indirectly in New Testament Bible especially in the Book of Jude.
In the New Testament Bible, the antichrist is associated with the last hour, the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ globally, the last days, the Church Age and the dispensation of the Holy Spirit or the Grace of God. 1 John 2:18 tells us that there are "many antichrists" not one antichrist and they are already in the world for the last 2,000 years of Church existence. Many antichrists were present in the Church Age in the past and many are still present in the Church Age of today.
1 John 2:22, 1 John 4:3 and 2 John 7 tell us that any person, group, institution, religion, organization and nation that denies that "Jesus is Christ", "does not confess Christ" and "will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh" (Jesus' supernatural birth, his sinless life on earth, his sonship of God and man, his physical death on the cross, his physical burial, his resurrection, his ascension and his glorification) are all biblical antichrists.
The doctrine of antichrist from the New Testament Bible tells us that antichrists are all over the world for the last 2,000 years of the birth of the Church of Jesus Christ. Antichrists are satanically inspired and they manifest in different entities (persons, groups, religions, human institutions, organizations and even nations of the world).

"THE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS ABOUT THE BIAFRAN WAR IN NIGERIA"
No matter what your personal stand or your personal position may be on this terrible human event that took place in Nigeria over 40 years ago that still remains a highly controversial and a very divisive historical event in Nigeria till today in 2012, the following historical facts about that war can never be questioned, waved off, suppressed, faulted, doubted, written off and claimed not to have happened at all.
(i) About 30,000 Igbos were massacred in the 1966 anti-Igbo pogrom in the Northern Nigeria that followed the military coups of 1966. (ii) The Igbos unanimously declared an autonomous independent nation of Biafra for the primary purpose of their self-preservation and self-determination. (iii) A war broke out between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the new nation of Biafra that lasted for 30 months, with over 2 to 3 million Igbos confirmed dead and about 100,000 casualties were reported on the side of the Federal Military Government of Nigeria.
(iv) General Yakubu Gowon was the military Head of State of Nigeria at that time of the war and the late Yoruba hero and sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo was the Federal Finance Commissioner and the Vice-President of the Federal Executive Council. This war started and ended under the official directives and watches of these two important Nigerian leaders. (v) The then Nigerian Military Government used economic blockages against the Igbos during the war and also changed the national currency of the Nigerian government that was ordered, supervised and directed by the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo who was Gowon's war manager. The Nigerian Armed Forces also committed very serious war crimes and untold human rights abuses against the Igbos that violated the United Nations Geneva Conventions.
(vi) The entire Eastern Nigeria was in a complete human, economic and infrastructural ruins when that war officially ended in January 1970 and the then Federal Government promised reconstruction and rehabilitation programs for the war victims. These agendas were a complete window dressing and a national deception. (vii) The Igbos were never adequately or financially compensated and rehabilitated properly for their huge human and material losses. No member of the Nigerian Armed Forces that took part in this genocidal war of Biafra in Nigeria to date was ever questioned, arrested or prosecuted for war crimes or human rights abuses in any of the established Nigerian courts or the military tribunals.

"NIGERIA IN 2012 IS A NATION AT THE MERCY OF RELIGIOUS FANATISM AND BIGOTRY"
In the world of religions, especially in the religion of Christianity, these pastors and bishops that are known to their ignorant and vulnerable followers, financial givers and supporters as the "men of God" are put above the sound doctrinal teachings of the Holy Bible and the deity, the teachings and the words of Jesus Christ who is the only reason as well as the only central personality behind the whole essence of the Christian faith. In the religion of Islam, the pattern is the same. These Imams or the koranic teachers and their religious instructions, directives and fatwas to their fanatical followers rule supreme in the life of an average gullible Muslim in Nigeria today.
We are a nation of religious bigots and fanatics. We have the largest numbers of Churches and Mosques in the world and we are still behind the rest of the world in 2012 in terms of human development indicators, such as life expectancy, standards of living, availability of social services, modern infrastructures, security of life and properties, educational and employment opportunities for our youths who are our only hope and future for this nation. Our problems today in Nigeria are bigger than Boko Haram and its menace in the Northern Nigeria. We are a failing nation in the making, our government is bulit on electoral frauds, our leaders are soiled deeply with official corruption, our state policy makers are political opportunists and mediocres who are busy mismanaging and wasting our state funds. We are surrounded by lawlessness and brutality of the highest orders. Our oil revenus only benefit our corrupt leaders and our top government officials. Our nation does not work fairly for all Nigerians from all ethnic, religious, social and cultural backgrounds.

"BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS THE TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER OF TODAY"
Barack Hussein Obama is the epitome of the American Dream that millions of people from all the nations, races, languages, cultures, religious faiths and backgrounds have pursued for centuries and they continued to pursue the American Dream till today. Barack Hussein Obama is also the major transformational leader of our 21st century human universe. He was born into an humble and relatively unknown beginnings in America coupled with his mixed parenting to become the President of the United States of America. in 2008
Barack Obama has made history and he continues to make history again and again before the whole world. He changed history in America by changing the America's presidential history. Barack Obama came from an unknown political setting to make history by defeating all the powerful Democratic Party establishment candidates to become the party's presidential candidate for the White House in 2008. Barack Obama made a bigger history in November 2008 when he became the first black person to win the presidency of the United States of America. Barack Obama made another history by inheriting the GOP dominated House that was politically hostile to him, the worst economic crisis in America since the Great Depression of the 1930s, a huge and unmanageable national debt of $12 trillion and a record breaking deficit. Barack Obama entered the White House facing close to 10% unemployment rate, millions of home foreclosures, collapsing Detroit automobile companies, the biggest Wall Street banks at the edge of financial collapse as well as the two expensive foreign wars in Iraq and Afganistan.
Barack Obama has now succeeded in addressing these issues despite the political opposition he faced in his first term in the White House from the GOP majority House members. The war in Iraq is history now and forever, the war in Afganistan is heavily scaled down and will become history in 2014. The national unemployment rate is down to 7.7% with over 5.6 million private sector jobs created in his first term in the White House. The America's troubled housing market is recovering slowly but progressively. Obamacare, which is a universal health care for all Americans is now officially the health care law of this nation. The Detroit automobiles are back to business in full swing as world's leaders in automobile manufacturing. The Wall Street banks are now making huge profits instead of huge losses and threats of bankruptcy. Barack Obama has saved the collapsing America's economy in his first term that was colorful, historical, challenging, eventful and difficult presidency.
Barack Obama made another history again on the night of November 6, 2012 when he was reelected back to the White House for his last term in the presidency of the United States of America. His reelection in 2012 has changed the traditional presidential political demographics in America. He won the presidency by winning the votes of the America's minorities (African-Americans, Latino-Americans, Asian-Americans, single women under 30 years and young Americans between the ages of 19 to 30 years). The next four years in the White House will see Barack Obama still working on the America's economy, creating more private sector jobs, reducing the huge national debt and deficit, introducing a national immigration reform bill and a national gun control and regulation bill. Barack Obama will also focus his presidential energy on making America an energy independent nation through the exploration of the various green energy sources in America today.
The various tasks that are ahead of Barack Obama's presidency in the White House are so huge and very challenging, but they are surmontable with the required political will that the American voters gave him on the night of November 6, 2012. No matter how his presidency ends, Barack Obama has joined the ranks of the America's most transformational presidents in the last 236 years of this nation's existence. America's future history, time and posterity will put Barack Obama one day in the future in his rightful place in the history of the American nation.

"THE PONZI SCHEME AND THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL ARE BOTH IDENTICAL"
"THE FIVE DEEPEST RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PONZI SCHEME AND THE SO CALLED PROSPERITY GOSPEL":(i) Both schemes promise their inventors, givers, tithers and offering donors hefty and unrealistic financial returns. (ii) Both schemes are based on deception, lying, exaggerations, manipulation of the truths and the minds of their givers and investors with false hope and unrealistic promises of huge financial returns. (iii) The owners of the ponzi schemes and the prosperity preachers are the only direct beneficiaries from this type of dirty deals at the end of the day.
(iv) The owners of the ponzi schemes and the prosperity preachers are the only ones living the luxurious lifestyles in all reality that they promise their inventors, tithers and givers for their financial investments. (v) These types of evil schemes destroy the life and the finances of their donors, tithers, givers and inventors by making them worse than the previous situations in their life.
The only key differences between the ponzi scheme and the prosperity gospel is simply the fact that the ponzi scheme is secular in nature and origin, while the prosperity gospel is religious and godly in nature. Ponzi scheme also does not use the name of God, the cover of the Bible, the name and the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and global evangelism or the twisting the biblical truths to exploit others unlike the prosperity gospel.

"THE CURRENT IMAGES OF JESUS CHRIST IN CIRCULATION GLOBALLY ARE NOT REAL"
"ALL THE CURRENT IMAGES OF JESUS CHRIST THAT ARE IN CIRCULATION IN THE WORLD OF TODAY ARE NOT HISTORICAL AUTHENTIC IN NATURE OR ORIGIN NOR PHOTOGRAPHICALLY ACCURATE, REAL AND EXACT":There was no photography technology in the world or in the entire Roman Empire when Jesus Christ lived in this human world about 2,000 years ago in the land of Palestine for about 33 years in which the last 3 years ofhis short life on earth were for his earthly ministry.
The four canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John that covered the life and the times of Jesus Christ from his physical birth, to his early childhood, to his adult life and to his 3 years of his earthly ministry did not give us any detailed, any comprehensive or any accurate physical descriptions of the physical features of the humanity of Jesus Christ.
Photography technology was invented in the early 1820s in Europe almost 1800 years after the final ascension of Jesus Christ from mount Olivet to the right hand of his heavenly Father. The first photography in the entire human history was in 1822 when Nicéphore Niépce in Europe took the first fixed, permanent photograph of an engraving of Pope Pius VII, using a non-lens contact-printing "heliographic process", but it was destroyed later, the earliest surviving example of human photography was around 1825. The photography technology is only 187 years in the world today and Jesus Christ lived in the world physically 2,000 years ago
