Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, encouraged Christians to vote for Mitt Romney for president, a man whom he said is a leader of the religious cult of Mormonism, because Jeffress believes that President Obama "is paving the way for the future reign of the Antichrist."

-- From "Texas Mega-Church Pastor: Obama 'Paving the Way for the Future Reign of the Antichrist'" by Jackson Williams, Huffington Post 11/06/12
. . . just before President Obama's reelection day, Jeffress [said]:
"I want you to hear me tonight, I am not saying that President Obama is the Antichrist, I am not saying that at all. One reason I know he's not the Antichrist is the Antichrist is going to have much higher poll numbers when he comes. President Obama is not the Antichrist. But what I am saying is this: the course he is choosing to lead our nation is paving the way for the future reign of the Antichrist."

Jeffress would go on to say that "it is time for Christians to stand up and to push back against this evil that is overtaking our nation" and to do so via "the ballot box."
This is not the first time that Jeffress has garnered controversy for his remarks regarding major political figures. During the Family Research Council's "Values Voters Summit" in October of last year, Jeffress called Mormonism a cult.
"Mitt Romney is a Mormon, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Even though he talks about Jesus as his Lord and savior, he is not a Christian. Mormonism is not Christianity. Mormonism is a cult," said Jeffress, who was supporting Texas Gov. Rick Perry's bid to become the GOP presidential nominee.
