Messiah, or antichrist?

Two of the central figures in the American Revolution were George Washington, the "Father of our country", and Benjamin Franklin, one of the prophets of the revolution. Washington is often regarded as a messiah, in that his leadership ability saved the formative nation from military defeat at the hands of the British.

One might even say that Washington has become a deity in our civil religion, a Christ-like Messiah. There is even a crypt under the Capitol Rotunda which was intended to lead to a tomb which would be Washington's burial place. It does not in fact contain the body of Washington, but I believe that it was left there empty to honor Washington as America's Messiah in imitation of the following scripture:

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Matthew 28:6 KJV

And what about our prophet Benjamin Franklin? One of the things every schoolchild used to be taught about him is that as a scientist he conducted the famous kite experiment with electricity. Were we taught this in acclaim of his scientific achievements, or to link him to the following scripture?

And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
2 Kings 1:10 KJV

But is this a correct betrayal of the two men? Any man who says he is the Messiah and who is not Jesus is a false messiah, and perhaps even the antichrist:

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Matthew 24:24 KJV

And instead of being Elijah, perhaps the prophet of our revolution is better described by this scipture:

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.
Revelation 13:13 KJV

Since the beginning, America's leaders have been the high priests of our civil religion and the keepers of the flame. The Constitution they ordained is a covenant, hopefully a covenant with God. One has to ask, why do they now tolerate and possibly support the breaking of that covenant by the constant acts and omissions of Obama ad-Dajjal? Is it because they now wish to break their covenant with God, or because all along it has really been a covenant with Satan?

I am not a messiah, and I have no wish to be a false prophet. I'm just an old man dreaming dreams. I have nowhere to lead you, except to your Bible. Please read it and then think about what America's "leaders" are doing; not just what they are saying, but what they are actually doing (including the things they are trying hard to hide from you). Are we on the right path? If not and if they won't change, we'll have to do it ourselves.

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew 7:14 KJV
