I posted Daniel 11:36-45 (AKJV) a few days ago, (1) to see what reaction I would get, and (2) to prompt some thinking on peoples part. I have now divided the passage up into paragraphs for the same reason. The first paragraph includes verse 36 and 37 which describe some of the characteristics of the man of sin, the ultimate example of a world leader. I do not call this person the antichrist as that would be going outside the context. All we know is that Daniel is giving us a description of a world leader, may even be a description of most world leaders to some degree - just this one takes the characteristics to the maximum degree.  I will be adding more on recurring basis - but I am also interested in others opinion.

Example: "magnify himself above every god" -- has our president done that: "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values." Interesting blog on this statement: http://tpo.net/Christian/index.htm
