Bolton: Obama Calls For Restraint From Egyptian Christians As They’re Being Killed

Posted on by elizabethprata

http://www.mrctv.org/embed/106413
Originally on Breitbart. Ambassador Bolton said:

“This will come as news to the Coptic Christians that they’re supposed to exercise restraint. They’re being attacked, they’re the ones being victimized both by mobs of fellow Egyptian citizens who are Muslims and by the government.”

Ambassador Bolton said that in the last year 100,000 Coptic Christians have fled Egypt. The violence is terrible and tonight’s remarks by Obama leave me at a loss. But I’m not without Hope, because I have Jesus, and He is in control.

Obama, Son of Strelka, and the unwitting creation story

Posted on by elizabethprata

On July 5th I’d written, “throughout the 2008 Presidential campaign and after Obama was elected, there were many blogs, comments, and social media essays purporting that Obama may be the antichrist. I don’t believe he is, but that dramatic feeling swept the country among Christians and I firmly believe there was a reason so many people felt that way. Collectively, we are not often touched with a similarly strong feeling of spiritual evil- so there must be some basis for it.” I’ve mentioned this before: I think he is a fallen angel. View these next comments in light of that possibility.

He is spiritually creepy. People get a weird feeling around him and about him. Chris Matthews gets a thrill up his leg. Others faint. Some swoon. Others just lose their minds. He has been described as being mesmerizing, hypnotizing, soaring, and most tellingly, “spellbinding.” He takes on a “Christ-like quality for many people”  and they call him the “brother from another planet.” New Yorker’s writer George Packer wrote in 2008: “No less an intellect than The New Yorker’s George Packer confesses that moments after a 25-minute campaign speech by Obama in New Hampshire concluded, he couldn’t remember exactly what the candidate said. Yet “the speech dissolved into pure feeling, which stayed with me for days,” he writes.”

Hypnotizing nebulous amorphousness that leaves no tangible mental trace but causes an altered physiology. Hmmm. Weird. And speaking of weird, but perhaps genius in a weird way, today we have Blogger Dan Warren’s project. Warren got so interested in the cadence, rhetoric, and detail of Obama’s distinctive speech patterns, he made an audio story using his voice. And now an animatic about it. Warren has spent four years snipping snippets of Obama’s self-read autobiography and putting the various separate phrases into a story. Kind of like auditory magnetic poetry.

Here is how Warren describes it. “Bit by bit I’ve dissected Obama’s self-read autobiography into thousands of very short phrases, usually one to ten words or so, and have used these snippets to tell a completely different story from the original.”

There is something behind how Obama speaks. What Dan Warren heard was the thing behind the thing, where the edges of his auditory perception end and his spiritual perception begins. His project is called Son of Strelka, Son of God. It is nine auditory parts. So far Warren has completed two visual parts and uploaded them to Youtube. It’s compelling, interesting, amazing, seamless, and WEIRD. Perhaps it is the real story…

Here are some summaries:
Slate: A demigod is born from a fruit tree, sets about creating the world, and eventually mates with a human woman to produce a son, called Stanley. “I was different, after all,” explains the god-child.

The Creator’s Project:“The Biblically-influenced tale of Stanley, born from an Adam-like character, a proto-man, plays with the themes and conventions of the Greatest Story Ever Told. It chronicles the world’s creation via a falling monkey, the rise of civilization and the birth of Stanley, a deformed orphan son-woman who is to be our savior. Desolate, s/he wanders the earth as the world descends into war. Gods come down to earth, the world starts pouring blood and it all gets a bit Revelations-y. Stanley meets the cosmic turtle who supports the world, and even he can’t help to save the world’s ruin, so they go find Buddha, but he’s not much cop either. Stanley then realizes he has the power to create worlds, does so, and proceeds to fall asleep on his mother’s lap.”

I’ve watched both parts. They are poetic and strange, just the kind of think I like. Here are some stills from the video.

Poison fruit, hanging on the tree
The ‘thing’ that came from the fruit climbs up

Death unexpectedly enters the world.
men built cities

Oops! That’s not from the  movie Son of Strelka. It’s from Gobekli Tepe, the 11000 year old pagan temple! Oh well, some things never change… my blog about it
And the cities buildings grew bigger and taller…
and taller…OOPS I did it again.
This is a monolith of the first city-worship center, Gobekli Tepe in Turkey. I wrote about it earlier today

So that’s a peek into Dan Warren’s mind and his Son of Strelka, Son of God. Perhaps that feeling of Christ-likeness is wearing off, being only a counterfeit after all, and the real spiritual persona is being felt at last. What do you think?

Obama for UN Secretary General?

Posted on by elizabethprata

Throughout the 2008 Presidential campaign and after Obama was elected, there were many blogs, comments, and social media essays purporting that Obama may be the antichrist. I don’t believe he is, but that dramatic feeling swept the country among Christians and I firmly believe there was a reason so many people felt that way. Collectively, we are not often touched with a similarly strong feeling of spiritual evil- so there must be some basis for it. At the very least, he obviously has a front and center prophetic role to play in the eternal will of God at the close of this Church Age.

It is plain to see that Obama has no real interest in the job he occupies at the time – and he never occupies it for long. As community organizer he was accused of being distant and unfocused. As Law Professor (glorified adjunct, really) he was and still is accused of being distant and unfocused. As State Senator he was accused of being distant and unfocused (he voted ‘present’ 129 times.) As President he is accused of being distant and unfocused.He plays golf a lot. He vacations a lot.

The unsaved are usually restless- always seeking the next thing that will fill that hole in them (but never does). Obama seems to have a unique amount of restlessness and lust for power and adoration. Earlier this year and also last year I wrote about the signals that some thought Obama was emitting to be the Muslim Caliphate, that is, the Islamic leader of all the world’s Muslims. He might indeed be acceptable for that position. Ruling over 1.4 billion people is a nice job if you can get it, and Ayatollah Durrani seemed inclined to endow Obama with the credentials.

In 2007 when Obama was campaigning, the US was arguably still the world’s only super power, claiming hegemony in all arenas and using that clout to fulfill the vision George Bush had for promoting the Good. But what job does one seek after being the leader of the richest and most influential nation in the free world? Why, the World’s leader of course.

This is the story that won’t go away. It’s come up in several times over the years. In 2009, a blogger mused on it. In 2010, the UK Telegraph mused on it. This week in 2011, The American Thinker magazine mused on it. Will Obama’s next job be Secretary General of the United Nations?

It kind of makes sense in the deep spiritual portion of our brain, doesn’t it? The Secretary-General was envisioned by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt as a “world moderator.” The UN’s page about the position says that it is “Equal parts diplomat and advocate, civil servant and CEO, the Secretary-General is a symbol of United Nations ideals and a spokesman for the interests of the world’s peoples…”. ‘Obama: World Leader.’

We know that the Tribulation will be a time when the world’s political and geo-national boundaries will be reformed. After the Gog-Magog war prophesied in Ezekiel 37-28, Israel will wind up with four times as much land as they have now, including parts of Egypt, and Lebanon, Syria etc. We don’t know exactly how the world will be drawn together in the prophesied ten nations, (Rev 17:12-14). Some think there will be ten regions, some think the regions will be ten members of the European Union, but it is clear that global power is tightly controlled and rests with these ten kings under the evil direction of the antichrist.

The current UN Secretary Ban-Ki Moon was just re-appointed this week for another five-year term, which will begin Jan 2012 and end in 2017. Yes, he was re-appointed 6 months early to his next term. I don’t know why the rush. Obama hurriedly joined his side to echo the chorus crying out for more of Moon’s leadership and the deal was done. So the timing of an Obama UN position as Secretary General seems way off, because Obama won’t end his Presidency until 2012 or if he wins re-election, 2016. The timing doesn’t match up. But nothing is as it seems these days and anything can happen.

Obama showed his interest in world leadership early on. Remember Obama’s unprecedented and possibly unconstitutional (Section 9) taking of the Chairmanship of the UN Security Council in 2009?? Never in the history of the United Nations had a U.S. President taken the chairmanship of the powerful UN Security Council. When the rotating chairmanship of the council went to the U.S., in normal course of business U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice would take the gavel. But Obama pushed her aside, and put HIMSELF in the chairman’s seat, presiding over global nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament talks that began September 24, 2009. I was extremely discomfited by his move then, and I believed it signaled that the world will see a lot more of Obama in years to come, in whatever capacity is higher than US Presidency.

If Obama has designs on more power, being one of ten world leaders as prophecy indicates, is a lot better than being one of 192, the number of nations there are now. So it seems Obama’s future career path won’t be one that sinks gently back into retirement as President Bush did, or even one filled with humanitarian causes as Bill Clinton is revered for, but one that will likely enjoy MORE power and attention than he has now. We can all intuit we have not seen the last of Obama.

Obama reaches out to Muslim Brotherhood and lists Israel as terror sponsor

Posted on by elizabethprata

This week two events occurred that had sweeping and colossal prophetic implications, and both were at the direction of Obama.

Obama listed Israel as a terror-sponsoring nation.
“The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) maintains a list of ‘specially designated countries’ (SDCs) that “have shown a tendency to promote, produce or protect terrorist organizations or their members.” The folks from these nations get special scrutiny when they enter the U.S.”

Some nations on the list are Afghanistan, Oman, Iran, Somalia, etc. Now Israel is listed alongside these nations as “Specially Designated Countries” that according to the definition, “promote, produce, or protect” terrorists, at least, according to Obama. “They managed to list the world’s biggest victim alongside the globe’s leading perpetrators of terrorism. Israelis coming into America get the same high level of scrutiny that Iranians do!” wrote Dick Morris.

The other piece of news is that Obama is to resume formal Muslim Brotherhood contacts.
“The United States has decided to resume formal contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, a senior U.S. official said on Wednesday, in a step that reflects the Islamist group’s growing political weight but that is almost certain to upset Israel and its U.S. backers.”

It is going to upset Israel and its backers because the Muslim Brotherhood has sworn to obliterate America and Israel. Am I exaggerating? No. Frank Gaffney, Jr, a columnist at theWashington Times and founder of the American Center for Security Policy wrote this week that it is a tipping point.

The Tipping Point: Embracing the Muslim Brotherhood
“The Obama administration chose the eve of the holiday marking our Nation’s birth to acknowledge publicly behavior in which it has long been stealthily engaged to the United States’ extreme detriment: Its officials now admit that they are embracing the Muslim Brotherhood (MB or Ikhwan in Arabic). That would be the same international Islamist organization that has the destruction of the United States, Israel and all other parts of the Free World as its explicit objective.”

The article continues, “To understand why the Obama administration’s embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood is so ominous, consider three insights into the organization’s nature and ambitions:
First, here’s the MB’s creed: “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

“Second, here’s the Ikwhan’s mission in America: “A kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within, sabotaging its miserable house with their [i.e., Americans’] hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions. … In short, the Muslim Brotherhood is deadly serious about waging what it calls “civilization jihad” against the United States and other freedom-loving nations.” Read the whole article, it’s good. You can also read the sources for the Muslim Brotherhood’s aims and goals there.

So it would seem that the jihad from within has begun. Some might claim that it began on January 20, 2008, Obama’s inauguration day. Between the economic destruction he has wrought, tripling the debt from 500 billion to 1.5 trillion, and the political damage he brings in inviting the camel’s nose under the tent, we seem to be an a clear downward path of obliteration.

He is America’s enemy, but he is not the enemy. That would be satan. From a spiritual perspective, Obama emanated enough spiritual creepiness, that even in pre-crash and pre-prophecy aware 2007 USA, thousands were convinced he was the antichrist. He still gives off such a spiritual amorphousness that millions are convinced he’s a Muslim waiting to become Caliphate. He exudes enough sinister perverseness that just thinking about him leading the world though the UN makes us fall on our faces in prayer for it NOT to happen.

Now, we all know that we cannot comprehend Jesus’ glory, His holiness, nor the depths of His love. We know it exists, but we are told in the bible that we can’t comprehend it (Isaiah 55:8; Ephesians 3:19; 1 Corinthians 13:12). It’s a joy to try! It’s a joy to know He loves us so much the depth of it passes our understanding! So does His holiness. Every Prophet and every disciple who saw His glory in visions fell flat on their faces. Isaiah cried, I am undone!’ meaning he was completely destroyed just seeing how great the holy God is and how puny we are.

But similarly as we do not understand the depth of His love and the greatness of His holiness, we can’t understand satan’s evil. We know it exists. We know it is bad. But the depths of it remain unexplored in the recess of our mind because we truly can’t comprehend it. We see the news compound and intensify in evilness in anxiety-producing quantities each week and we say, “That’s the worst!” But then along comes a worse worst.

In Obama’s actions we sense a ‘drawing-in’ of the collective evil. We shudder. We say, “Thank the Lord we won’t be here!” But just think of the people who will face the deepest evil the world has ever known: the antichrist. It will be worse than the flood, when all the world was corrupt and the thoughts of man were continuous evil. (Genesis 6:5). It will be worse than the flood when every man, woman, child, and animal on the entire face of the earth was drowned and God was sorry He made us.

How do I know the upcoming time will be worse than that? Jesus told us: “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.” (Matthew 24:21).

If you are glad you won’t be here to watch more dastardly shenanigans from Obama, imagine how relieved you will be to escape the antichrist! But what of those left behind to deal with an evil so deep and pervasive Jesus has to cut short the days just to ensure some remnant survives? Be strong, witness in love and humility, and be unafraid of rejection! You will be rejected. But be unafraid, because it is Jesus you answer to, not some lost angry person.

If you do witness and are heckled or persecuted for it, do not reply. Because really, there is nothing you can say or do that will be worse than what the poor, unsaved person will be facing for eternity. Nothing.Is. Worse. Than. Hell. There is no witty comeback, no red anger, no insult flung at a heckling mocker that’s worse than what they will see and endure shortly. So be quiet in the face of hatred and move on. Knowing this has helped me still my mouth and quiet my typing fingers when people say or do things against me in because I spoke up for Jesus.

Obama is bad. He gives me the creeps. He makes a lot of people’s spiritual hackles raise up. And worse is coming. By His grace we are saved from it. By His grace those you speak to in delivering a witnessing seed may be saved from it too! Share in confidence, trusting the Holy Spirit’s direction!

Obama is dangerous for Israel

Posted on by elizabethprata

But Obama is even more dangerous for America. How? He is no friend to Israel, and in his speech today, Obama told Israel to give up more land. This will bring judgment upon the US. Today in his speech on Middle East issues, Obama said,

“The borders of Israel and a Palestinian state should be based on pre-1967 borders with agreed swaps…”But what America and the international community can do is state frankly what everyone knows: a lasting peace will involve two states for two peoples.” He means divide part of Israel up and give it to the Palestinians for their own state.

This proposal was not taken well by Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. “Netanyahu blasts Obama proposal, calls 1967 borders ‘indefensible’
Forcefully stepping into an explosive Middle East debate, President Barack Obama on Thursday endorsed a key Palestinian demand for the borders of its future state and prodded Israel to accept that it can never have a truly peaceful nation based on “permanent occupation.” Obama’s urging that a Palestinian state be based on 1967 borders — before the Six Day War in which Israel occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza — was a significant shift in the U.S. approach. It drew an immediate negative response from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is to meet with Obama at the White House Friday. In a statement released late Thursday in Jerusalem, Netanyahu called the 1967 lines “indefensible,” saying such a withdrawal would jeopardize Israel’s security and leave major West Bank settlements outside Israeli borders, though Obama left room for adjustments reached through negotiations.”

This is not good news for Israel, and it is my opinion that the worst suspicions of the 2008 discerning electorate have now proven true: Obama as head of the United States is abandoning Israel as an ally and is actually an active enemy of that nation.

Joel C. Rosenberg (http://www.joelrosenberg.com) is the founder of The Joshua Fund and the author of eight New York Times best-selling novels and non-fiction books, with more than two million copies in print. He has also produced two documentary films, based on his two non-fiction books. previously worked as an aide to several U.S. and Israeli leaders, including Steve Forbes, former Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Natan Sharansky, and then-former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He is the son of a Jewish father and a Gentile mother, Joel is an evangelical Christian with a passion to make disciples of all nations and teach Bible prophecy.

He is hosting a conference in Israel this week on the Book of Joel. On his blog, Rosenberg said today of Obama’s proposal to return to 1967 borders and his proposal to carve up more land:

“Do not divide the Land of Israel — In my message about the final chapter of the Book of Joel, I explained the warning to the nations that the Lord gives. I focused in particular on Joel 3:2 (which is 4:2 in the Hebrew Bible) in which the Lord says, “I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and they have divided up My land.” The Bible is very clear: the Lord is going to judge all the nations for dividing up the Land of Israel. Let the United Nations and the United States and the European Union and the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli government itself be warned. What appears like wisdom to the world — carving up the State of Israel like a Thanksgiving turkey — is direct disobedience to the Word of God and will trigger the most severe divine judgment. This is a hard truth for many to hear and to hold, particularly for Palestinian Arabs and others in the epicenter. But we do Israel’s Arab friends and enemies no favors by denying, obfuscating or trying to explain away the clear teaching of the Lord found in the Scriptures. We must teach the truth. We must do so gently and lovingly, but we must also be clear and firm.”

It is an inescapable fact that Israel will be divided and Jerusalem given over to the Gentiles. Joel 3:2 and Revelation 11:2 show us that. It is also an inescapable fact that the Holy Land is God’s land, and He will judge all nations that divide it or that pressure Israel to divide it.

Zechariah 12:3 says that at the time of the very end, Israel has no friend, all nations are gathered against her. America must now be moved over to the enemies side, and woe unto us that abandon God’s nation.

Obama reportedly to call for dividing Jerusalem: Things are getting serious

Posted on by elizabethprata

A friend emailed me and mentioned that a lot of people seem to feel a burden of imminence. These are lay-people, not necessarily prophecy students or even very active Christians. I agree with her assessment, and I second it. Jesus likened the Tribulation to birth pangs. This is a timeless symbol because women from every epoch has gotten pregnant and delivered a babe in the same way. People from all cultures and ages reading the bible or hearing these words will immediately understand the process.

Working backwards, the baby being birthed here is the Millennium Kingdom. The time prior to the birth will be bloody, these would be the birth pangs. As the birth nears, the contractions will increase in intensity and pain until we know that the time of the birth is imminent. Prior to the birth pangs, signaled by contractions, the gestation is long and at first we may not even know any gestation is happening, but then it becomes increasingly evident as the mother’s stomach bulges.

When we see a very, VERY pregnant woman we all wince in sympathetic pain, We understand the time is near, and often we may even ask her, even if she is a stranger, “When’s the baby due?” The mom-to-be says something like ‘the doc said any time from May 10 to May 19, on.” Even with today’s science, we never know the exact day of the birth, only a general window that could come earlier or could come later than even the time period within the stated window. But when we see that woman waddling along slowly, sitting down carefully with bent knee and hand to her back, stomach bulging, we all know the time is near.

We are at that time.

The Tribulation is all about Israel. Matthew 24 is about what will happen during the Tribulation and it is spoken toward the Jews, not the church. Some think that verses 4-8 could overlap with the end time prior to the rapture, and I am one of those, but from verse 9 onward it is all about the Jews. It is punishment on an unbelieving world for scattering His people. It is about punishing the Pharisaical religious systems that oppressed the Jews. It is punishment toward the Jews themselves for their failure to remain with God and in God. It is retribution for dividing His land. Revelation 11:2 reports that the Gentiles will be trampling on the Holy City for 42 months. Jerusalem will be divided.

Joel 3:2 talks about the land division, and a lot of land in Israel has been parceled away over the years. It is this land now that is back in the news. Read Joel 3:2 and all the parallel verses here, for basis.

The most egregious division of all is the dividing of God’s Holy City: Jerusalem. Daniel 9:24 is thought to be one of the most important prophetic verses in the entire bible. It says “[Seventy Weeks and the Messiah ] “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.” The Holy City of course, is Jerusalem (Is 52:1), and the Holy Place is the holy of holies, at the Temple.

The news media outlet in Israel called Ynet News says they have obtained an advance copy of Obama’s major Middle East speech he is due to deliver this week. Of course, Obama plans to deliver the speech the day Prime Minister Netanyahu leaves Israel to come to the US and make a rare visit to both houses of Congress and deliver his own major Middle East speech.

This line in the news article China’s Xinhuanet published about it is chilling:

“The president is also expected to announce his solution regarding the status of Jerusalem and call for its division. The U.S. envisions the city as the shared capital of the two states, Israel and Palestine, side by side in peace.”

This is what the LORD God Almighty has to say about Israel and His holy city, Jerusalem:

“I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations.” Zechariah 12:2-3

“And I will punish on that day all who leap on the temple threshold, Who fill the house of their lord with violence and deceit.” Zephaniah 1:9

“While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3

Woe to those who call for dividing His Holy City! Woe to those who call for dividing His land! Those who curse His people will be cursed. (Genesis 12:1-3)

Surely the time is near. The feeling of imminence is burdensome to those who seek after these things, and even many who do not seek after these things are feeling it. The world feels like it is an elastic stretched taut with no possible additional stretching to be done but then it stretches more. The feeling of being on tenterhooks is almost unbearable.

“Tenterhooks were used as far back as the fourteenth century in the process of making woollen cloth. After the cloth was woven it still contained oil from the fleece and some dirt. A fuller cleaned the woollen cloth in a fulling mill, and then had to dry it carefully or the wool would shrink. To prevent this shrinkage, the fuller would place the wet cloth on a large wooden frame, a “tenter”, and leave it to dry outside. The lengths of wet cloth were stretched on the tenter using hooks all around the perimeter of the frame to which the cloth’s edges were fixed so that as it dried the cloth would retain its shape and size.”

“By the mid-eighteenth century the phrase “on tenterhooks” came into use to mean being in a state of uneasiness, anxiety, or suspense, stretched like the cloth on the tenter.” Other synonyms for being on tenterhooks are suspense, excited, nervous, apprehensive, on edge, agitated, anxious. I say I am yes to all of the above.

We are nearing midnight. How long can this draw out? Only the Lord knows. Not the Harold Camping crowd who says by May 21 it will be all over. They do not know. The Lord’s timing is perfect, but I pray that He will release us soon from this ever growing sense of imminence. Because it WILL happen, and it will be probably be soon. Are you ready?

Obama is not antichrist, but he is an antichrist-type

Posted on by elizabethprata

When Obama came on the scene in 2007 and 2008 many people wondered if he was the antichrist. Not a few people said that. Some websites were even launched about it. Daniel 9:27 said that the antichrist will confirm a covenant with the many, but Paul said that the ac will not be specifically revealed until the rebellion occurs: “Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). So Obama isn’t the antichrist… but he is an antichrist-type.

The bible shows us many men who were precursors to the antichrist prophesied to arrive at the end of days. These men of past history were a run-up to the real thing. They all share some qualities in common. They made promises to the Jews…and broke them. They were arrogant, rebellious toward God, believed in idols, and tried to cut off the Jews from being a people or Israel from being a nation. Their feelings toward the Jews ranged from oppressively hostile to genocidal. And many of them were megalomaniac tyrants, living richly off the backs of the people they were supposed to protect and defend.

I am speaking of Antiochus IV as one antichrist-type. He sacked Jerusalem and in the space of three days, killed 40,000, and sent another 40,000 into slavery. Herod was another one, as a half-Jew, posing as devout to inculcate the friendliness of the nation, but then thinking nothing in his megalomania of trying to cut off Israel from being a nation by massacring all the boys under the age of two. His lying and duplicity toward the noble Magi was another indicator of his lawlessness.

Nero and Hitler were also antichrist-types. Nero was a run-up to the antichrist in one regard asking people to bow down to him adding himself to their worship, killing Christians who refused. Pharaoh was an antichrist-type. He was king of Egypt, which at that time was similar to being king of the world, as the Antichrist will be. Pharaoh persecuted the Jews mercilessly and had no pity on them in their hard bondage. Pharaoh defied God,saying, “Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD and I will not let Israel go.” (Ez 5:2)

And now we have Obama. Obama is not the antichrist but he is an antichrist type, closely mirroring Pharaoh. Obama harbors hatred for the Jews, and is oppressing them through silence in the face of persecution, silence in Iran’s aggression, and silence at the UN. He lives luxuriously as a Monarch, despite piteous cries from the hungry. He defiantly rebels against the Lord, while pretending devoutness as Herod did. Obama has even been called a Pharaoh three times in his short tenure as President. “Expectations raised by Obama’s brief visit to Cairo are almost messianic. Souvenir shops are selling pendants with the caption “Obama – new Tutankhamen of the world.” (Left, An Egyptian vendor displays a handmade copper plaque reading “Obama, New Tutankhamun of the World” at his shop in the Khan el-Khalili market area in Cairo on Monday.

Obama didn’t call himself Messiah, but the name was attributed to him many times, as here “A messiah won’t be landing at the Heliopolis airport Thursday. Nonetheless, the expectations raised by Obama’s brief visit to Cairo are almost messianic.”

In another strange case of the Obama-Pharaoh attribution, Obama this time noted the similarity to a Pharaoh hieroglyph himself. While visiting the tomb of Qar in Egypt, Obama saw a hieroglyph on the wall that looked exactly like him. Despite there being present so many other hieroglyphs, Obama noticed this one and pointed to it, saying, “Hey that looks just like me! Look at those ears!” The tour guide leading the group said later that he thinks Obama looks more like King Tut, the famous boy-Pharaoh.

This week, Obama and his wife flew to India for a ten day tour. His jaunt is costing the American taxpayers 200/million a day and he is also taking 34 warships (including 2 aircraft carriers), a fleet of 40 armored limos (20 of them decoys) and taking over the entire luxury hotel in which he decided to stay. The UK Daily Mail noted, “Probably not since the days of the Pharaohs or the more ludicrous Roman Emperors [like Nero??] has a head of state travelled in such pomp and expensive grandeur as the President of the United States of America. While lesser mortals – the Pope, Queen Elizabeth and so on – are usually happy to let their hosts handle most of the security and transport arrangements when they venture beyond their home shores, the United States creates a mini-America on the move to ensure that nothing is left to chance.”

Pharaoh. Antichrist-type. We got what we deserved.

Obama basks in Taj Mahal luxury while his servants (us) support him

Posted on by elizabethprata

Anyone else think this is excessive? The Economic Times of India reports:

“Since Obama is expected to arrive in the afternoon on November 6, and will travel by road to the Taj Mahal Hotel, the entire stretch from airport to the hotel will be under heavy security. The officer said, “There will be no vehicular movement on Western Express Highway at that time. Traffic on roads leading up to the highway will also be stopped. All buildings flanking the entire stretch will be sanitised. However, there is no threat from the snipers as the President will travel in a bullet-proof car with 4.5-inch thick sheets, which are impenetrable for any gun.” Obama’s personal security staff itself will be huge, and it has already started making its own arrangements in Mumbai. “A team of secret service agents has already arrived, and has surveyed the areas of his stay and the roads and places on his itinerary,” the officer said.”

“To ensure fool-proof security, the President’s team has booked the entire the Taj Mahal Hotel, including 570 rooms, all banquets and restaurants. Since his security contingent and staff will comprise a huge number, 125 rooms at Taj President have also been booked, apart from 80 to 90 rooms each in Grand Hyatt and The Oberoi hotels. The NCPA, where the President is expected to meet representatives from the business community, has also been entirely booked. The officer said, “Obama’s contingent is huge. There are two jumbo jets coming along with Air Force One, which will be flanked by security jets. There will be 30 to 40 secret service agents, who will arrive before him. The President’s convoy has 45 cars, including the Lincoln Continental in which the President travels.”

“Since Obama will stay in a hotel that is on sea front, elaborate coastal security arrangements have been made by the US Navy in consonance with the Indian Navy and the Coast Guard. “There will be US naval ships, along with Indian vessels, patrolling the sea till about 330-km from the shore. This is to negate the possibility of a missile being fired from a distance,” the officer said. The President will be accompanied by his chefs, not because he would not like to savour Indian cuisine, but to ensure his food is not spiked.”

TWO jumbo jets in addition to AF1? Plus security jets? Over 600 people traveling with him? Did we elect a king? I think Obama thinks so. It is an axiom: profligate spending always collapses an empire. The one-minute video tells it all.

The gap between what leaders say and what they do is becoming wider and more bold. Obama pushes austerity measures and belt-tightening, yet goes on more jaunts spending to greater excess than any other president, ever. The verses describing the false economic system as represented by the real city Babylon (and also the metaphor of Babylon as a whorish economy) in Rev 18:1-3 come to mind here —

“After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. With a mighty voice he shouted:

“Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!
She has become a home for demons
and a haunt for every evil spirit,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.
For all the nations have drunk
the maddening wine of her adulteries.
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.” 
The gap between rich and poor, caring and uncaring,  luxury and starvation will only widen in the days and months ahead.

It is very hard to watch the wicked prosper. It is a hard thing to listen to the profane hurl blasphemies against our Spotless Jesus and then see them rise to even higher heights. But Job discoursed against the prosperity of the wicked, that ultimately God settles with them via secret judgments and has reserved them for future judgments. Patience…the blasphemous and the profane will fall. Remember this as you see Obama’s excesses. He will face the Almighty one day, and nothing we can say or do will compete with the just words from the Ancient of Days. As our own ire rises in anger against wickedness in all places, remember to sink even lower into His arms, retreating from bitterness and relying only on Him and His perfect justice.

I just have to rely ever more on His strength and promises to step back, & remain calm as I see His name trampled further through the mud and the wicked prospering and the poor falling. He is in control and nothing I can say or do will come close to the wicked having to face Him on judgment day. Lord, help my resentment against political abuse and lack of compassion on the burdened poor!! 🙂

Obama went to church to hear a Pro-Palestinian message

Posted on by elizabethprata

Obama went to church for the third time in a year…and the guest speaker happened to be a Pro-Palestinian speaker Dr Ziad Asali. From Israel Today

“Before last Sunday, US President Barack Obama and his family had only been to church a handful of times since he became commander-in-chief. And two of those visits were for Inauguration Day and Easter.
The Obama family’s sixth time at church in Washington, DC may also have been for a special occasion – to hear a pro-Palestinian activist teach about how Israel needs to surrender its biblical heartland for a phony “peace.” The president, his wife Michelle and their two daughters attended St. John’s Church, an Episcopal church just across the street from the White House, for the morning service on September 19. Low and behold, that is the same morning that guest speaker Ziad Asali of the American Task Force on Palestine (ATFP) had the podium. Asali and the ATFP pretend to want a lasting two-state solution to the conflict, but also advocate the demographic destruction of the Jewish state by supporting the demand that Israel open its gates to millions of so-called “Palestinian refugees.” The ATFP blames Israel for the current situation, and wants it to apologize for its rebirth as a nation-state, while Asali draws moral equivalency between Palestinian terrorism and Israeli counter-terrorism operations. Asali and the ATFP are likewise linked to a number of unsavory pro-Palestinian figures who were once on Obama’s guest list. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the US mainstream media ignored the fact that a Muslim with a thinly-veiled anti-Israel message was preaching on the day that the Obama family attended church for only the third time in the past year.”

US News & World Report covered it, but is doing its best to convince us Obama is not a Muslim, beginning with their title:

Obama Goes to Christian Church

WASHINGTON – President Obama attended church on Sunday for the first time since April as an increasing number of Americans believe – falsely – that he is Muslim, not Christian. The entire First Family walked from the White House across Lafayette Square Park to St. John’s Episcopal Church, the quaint house of worship informally known as the Church of the Presidents. The Obamas sat a few rows back from the altar among about 40 worshipers. The President and First Lady Michelle Obama, along with their daughters, went up for Communion. Obama last attended church in Washington on Easter Sunday, April 4. He has not joined a church in the capital, giving the reason that his presence – and that of his large entourage – would disrupt other people’s worship. His low-profile Christianity may be playing into the Muslim myth, however. A Pew poll last month showed 18% of Americans – and nearly one-third of Republicans – wrongly believe Obama is a Muslim. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a Republican who backed Obama, suggested yesterday the public doubts about Obama’s religion have more to do with a weak economy. “I’ll bet you a dollar if the unemployment rate was not 9.6%, but it was down to 4%, then you would find only 5% thinking he’s Muslim,” Powell said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Yeah, that’s it. A high unemployment rate and the President’s choice of religion are tied together. So why didn’t anyone think Jimmy Carter was a Muslim?

What God says:

Zechariah 12:2-3 prophesies that Israel will be alone in the world, with no allies nor friends. We see this coming close to fulfillment today. Even their staunch friend and ally the US is abandoning them, and Obama can only be called a hostile enemy to Israel.

Many nations will try to remove Israel from her land and will fail. Not only will Israel have no friends in the world, but most of the world will be Israel’s enemy. Psalm 83 says that many nations speak of wiping her off the face of the planet. “They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more.” (Psalm 83:4)

At the very end, all the nations of the world will attack Israel. “Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. “On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.” But, as Zechariah 12:9 states, “On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.” Between now and when the LORD saves His nation, His land, and His people, it will only become more tense in the Middle East and lonelier for Israel. Pray for them!
