Actually, right at the moment it is easy to see Barak as an antichrist figure, particularly as he breezes through Europe. However, I don't believe that he can be.

Daniel 9:24-26 speaks of the 493 years that were to pass between the edict to rebuild Jerusalem and the birth of Christ. According to verse 26, after Messiah was cut off (the crucifixion) the "people of the prince that shall come" would destroy Jerusalem and the Temple. That happened in 70 AD when Titus and the Romans sacked Jerusalem. The "prince that shall come" is the antichrist, as is shown in verse 27, which is talking about the Tribulation time. The "people of the prince" were Romans, so the prince (antichrist) must be a Roman. I don't think that Barak is.

However, he does show us how the world is ready to accept a false "messiah" doesn't he?

The Daniel passage is below.

Daniel
Chapter 9

24. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."

Have a good day.
