I understand what you all are saying. I would agree with the fact that this may be a case of our technology being the cause of the "fatal wound being healed". It is far better than having God give the power to raise the dead of an evil man.
You still need to grasp that it is God that "allows" it to happen in such a way.
Having said that, this man MAY be celebrated, sure. Even revered. But as a "god"? Unlikely. That way of thinking, men being gods, thankfully went out long ago. I highly doubt it would happen again.
Nevertheless, this is what scripture tells us.
2 Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2 Th 2:4
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart,
I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will be like the most High.
2 Cor 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
2 Cor 11:14
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2 Cor 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
If this subject really interests you and you dedicate serious time to study eschatology, you will come to this conclusion:
When antichrist reveals himself, many will be "duped" into believing he is "The Most High" One.
