UPDATE: See new post “What do Muslims believe about the end of the age” FMI on caliphate, Imam, and Islamic end time eschatology.

On September 4, 2010, 6 months ago, I posted a piece exploring Obama as Caliph. Seemingly out of the blue, a Pakistani Ayatollah had made a curious call for Obama to be named as Islam’s Caliph. As a side note, isn’t it amazing that now just 6 months later, we are all now very familiar with terms such as Caliph, Shia, Imam and Mullah?

I post this 6-month-old piece again because today Rush Limbaugh made a curious statement. Limbaugh said “Out of the clear it would seem that Obama is into Caliphate-building. It is almost as though Obama might believe he is the Twelfth Imam.” The clip is short and though it goes on for a few more seconds I don’t have a context as to why Rush would say this. But if you read the article below, you will see undeniably that it is not “out of the clear”, that the Muslims have long regarded Obama as a brother. Obama himself has demonstrated this by his actions. He went to a place specifically to hear a Pro-Palestinian message. The Muslims recognize Obama as a brother, as we see below. Obama gave a speech at Georgetown on condition that the crucifix behind him be blacked out or removed. A myriad of clues big and little tell us that Obama is an enemy of the US and an enemy of God.

Please read the post below in light of even more information that has come out. This week it was revealed that the Clerics and Ayatollahs of Iran have produced a video in preparing their people for the arrival of the 12th Imam, the Final Mahdi, in celebration because his near arrival is imminent, they say. They are convinced he is near, just as convinced as we are that the antichrist is near (I believe the 12th Imam IS the antichrist). And you will not forget who works with the antichrist: the False Prophet. Please re-read the essay below with these things in mind, and my assessment of just who Barack Hussein Obama is comes at the bottom.

Re-post begins:
Ayatollah Durrani’s call for Obama to be Caliph has enormous end time implications in Christianity AND Islam

Yesterday I published a piece that was pretty curious. Out of the blue, an Ayatollah from Pakistan called for Barack Hussein Obama, our President, to be installed as Caliph, leader of Muslims. Further, he called for Obama to lead Muslim Eid holiday prayers from Ground Zero on Sept. 11. The Ayatollah had called the Pakistani newspaper “The Nation” and made this claim, and it was published in both their print version and online. I thought the call for Obama to become caliph was odd, and anything odd these days bears intense research, because as we draw so close to the end, nothing is to be taken for granted. Thus, I began really looking at the language in the Pakistani news article. This is what I found, thanks to the Holy Spirit’s guidance in research.

First, a republishing of the short, odd article:

Minister wants Obama to become Ameer-ul-Momineen
ISLAMABAD – In a development that could be duly termed as one and only of its kind, an incumbent Government’s Minister has urged US President Barrack Obama to offer Eid prayers at Ground Zero Mosque and become “Ameer-ul-Momineen” of Muslim Ummah [the collective Muslim world]. Minister of State for Industries and former member Pakistan Ideological Council Ayatullah Durrani called TheNation on Wednesday to register his demand made to President Obama. “The coming Eid would expectedly be observed on 9/11, this a golden opportunity for President Obama to offer Eid prayers at Ground Zero and become Amir-ul-Momineen or Caliph of Muslims. In this way, all the problems of Muslim World would be solved,” he thought. Durrani argued that Muslim World was in “dire need” of a Caliph and the distinguished slot of Caliphate would earn President Obama the exemplary titles of what he termed, “Mullah Barrack Hussain Obama” or “Allama Obama.” “The time is approaching fast. Barrack Hussain Obama must act now. This is a golden opportunity, Muslims badly need it,” he added, saying that the elevation of President Obama to Muslim’s Caliphate would be the “key to success.” This news was published in print paper.

The term caliph came into use as a title of the civil and religious head of the Muslim state. But because the Muslim state is so fractured, having one head as Caliph became untenable and fell out of use by 1924.

Let’s take a close look at two of the sentences. First, Durrani said: “all the problems of Muslim World would be solved.”

I can’t speak for the Pakistani Ayatollah on exactly how this may solve the Muslim world’s problems, but I do know that the Muslim world is not a united world. Sunni and Shia diverge greatly, and once the office of Caliph was abandoned in 1924, the division became seemingly permanent. “Disagreement over the status and legitimate line of caliphs lies at the root of the division between Shiite and Sunni Muslims. The caliphate has throughout history been an important symbolic focus of unity for Muslims, and since its abolition several pan-Islamic congresses have attempted to establish a rightful caliph. (Cambridge Encyclopedia).

Instituting the office of Caliph with an acceptable candidate would indeed go a long way to solving the Muslim world’s problems.

In Shia end time doctrines, the final Mahdi (12th Mahdi, and they have already had 11) will be a world leader, emerging out of the chaos and violence to institute a one world religion and economic system. The world will worship this Mahdi, (Muslim Messiah)in advance of the coming of Jesus prior to Jesus instituting HIS kingdom. Sound familiar? The final Mahdi is central to their doctrines, CENTRAL. The entire focus of much of Islam (with exception of certain Sunni sects) focuses on this final Imam.

With that in mind, on the Jihadica blog, a conversation took place in 2008 that bears on today’s conversation about Obama as Caliph. The title of the entry is “Mahdi Will Appear After Return and Death of Caliph” and the excerpt is “Discussion of the appearance of the Mahdi, a messianic figure who will appear to restore justice to the world, is not a hot topic on Sunni Jihadi forums (in contrast with Shia miliants, who talk about it a lot). So a post today on Eklaas by al-Fata al-Jurani caught my eye. In it, he argues that the Mahdi will not appear until a caliph once again rules Muslims. After the caliph dies, the black banners will be unfurled and the Mahdi will appear. So if the caliphate were to be declared and acknowledged, would hitherto non-messianic Jihadi groups like al-Qaeda become messianic?”

Are you starting to get the import of this little-reported, curious call for Obama to be a Caliph?

In a second curious sentence from the article, I thought that the Ayatollah’s specificity in delivering the titles for Obama in this yet-to-be-named Caliphate were odd. But they are not odd, in fact, these titles have great meaning for Muslims.

From the article: “Durrani, a former member of the Pakistan Ideological Council, contended that the Muslim world is in “dire need” of a Caliph and occupying this distinguished slot would provide Obama “exemplary titles” like “Mullah Barack Hussain Obama” or “Allama Obama”.

Mullah is generally used to refer to a Muslim man, educated in Islamic theology and sacred law. The title, given to some Islamic clergy, is derived from the Arabic word mawlà , meaning “vicar”, “master” and “guardian”. In large parts of the Muslim world, particularly Iran, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Turkey, Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent, it is the name commonly given to local Islamic clerics or mosque leaders.”

Allamah also spelled Allameh and Allama, is an honorary title carried by only the very highest scholars of Islamic thought, jurisprudence, and philosophy. It is used as an honorific in Sunni Islam as well as in Twelver Shia Islam. The caliphate has throughout history been an important symbolic focus of unity for Muslims, and since its abolition several pan-Islamic congresses have attempted to establish a rightful caliph.

Obama is seen as a uniter, a bridge from the past to the future, a scholar, and a person of diverse origins, able to understand all peoples. From what I have read of Obama’s life, he seems to be able to fulfill the titles the Pakistani Ayatollah has readily prepared for him. Qualifications aside, that Obama has been deemed acceptable by a respected former member of the Muslim Ideological Council is tremendously significant theologically.

And now, the point, if you haven’t figured it out already: from Watchmanbiblestudy.com
“Throughout the Islamic world today there is a call for the restoration of the Islamic Caliphate. The Caliph (Khalifa) in Islam may be viewed somewhat as the Pope of the Muslims. The Caliph is viewed as the Vice-regent for Allah on the earth.”

We know that the False Prophet paves the way for the Antichrist to be worshiped, and the vehicle for that worship is the Mark. (Rev 13:11-17). Is the call by Ayatollah Durrani for Obama to become Caliph really the first call from satan to his false prophet?

Rush Limbaugh, noted conservative, made a comment yesterday about our Liberal president. His comment has everyone up in arms. Now, this is nothing new. Rush is always saying something about the Democrats and the people are always up in arms about what he says.

However, I happen to completely agree with what Rush said, and moreover, I said it six months ago. It is a bold and unusual opinion, but nonetheless….Here is what Rush said: Obama looks demonic in recent photos.

“These pictures, they look demonic. And I don’t say this lightly,” Limbaugh said as he opened his program. “There are a couple pictures, and the eyes, I’m not saying anything here, but just look,” he remarked about the president who has been campaigning for the re-election of fellow Democrats. An American president has never had facial expressions like this,” Limbaugh said. “At least we’ve never seen photos of an American president with facial expressions like this.”

Here are some of those photos:

I agree that those are curious expressions, particularly from one who knows he will be photographed and has perfected the politician’s art of the pasted-on smile.

Others instantly began making fun of Rush’s observation. Andrew Sullivan used this headline: Obama Is Now Satan. Going with the flow, Rush pushed the envelope, goading the Dems with this headline: Helpless Liberals Watch as Obama Switches from Messiah to Demon

I do think it is interesting that the world saw Obama as a type of savior only two years ago and now see him as a kind of demon. The nomenclature is unusual, never having been assigned this solidly to a politician, but nevertheless is appropriate to these end of days. The spiritual battle is almost visible now. Dems are deserting him in droves, and Conservatives are lining up at the polls prepared to vote the bums all out. How hard and how fast they fall.

But this story is more than political. We haven’t seen anything like the heights Obama brought his faithful to in the modern era, if ever. And we have never seen as fast a fall like this either. From the beginning, Obama’s candidacy brought out those who insisted that he was the antichrist. The reaction of the world certainly seemed to indicate a supernatural response. Remember all those women fainting at his mere presence? The thrill running up Chris Matthews’ leg? Millions clamoring to obtain a ticket to one of his speeches? At the lack of substance in the speech but the judgment that they were soaring and above all others for all time? Who could come out of nowhere, evoke a response like Obama did and make the world fall in love with him? The antichrist is predicted to engage the world in exactly the same way.

Though the Bible clearly says that the antichrist will not be revealed until the Tribulation, many saw the dots connecting and began wondering aloud. Believers have spiritual insight, knowing first that in the end of days deceivers will come (1 Tim 4:1), and we also know we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places, (Ephesians 6:12), then we know it is not out of the realm of possibility that Obama may be supernaturally connected with satan.

How could he be, you ask, being flesh and blood? Well, two ways. The angels do incarnate and walk on the earth as humans. There is nothing in the bible saying that the fallen angels don’t also do that. As a matter of fact, there is a huge possibility that they do, since one-third of a multitude of the angels fell with satan, and since Hebrews 13:2 says that we entertain angels unawares. The bible records some angels staying on the earth overnight, for lengths of time, and eating with humans and appearing as men.

Another possibility is that he is a nephilim, one of the hybrids of fallen angel-human species that Genesis 6 describes as being an evil scourge upon the pre-flood world. Jesus said that the time before the end would be like the Days of Noah, when the events of Gen 6 were occurring.

I wrote about the Obama Evil Eye in June of last year, noting that he had a strange facial expression and unusually fierce laser-eyes at times. At that time I made the supernatural connection.

Beware the Obama Evil Eye
Drudge put this up this morning. Maybe he is half kidding. I am not. It IS an evil eye. Since Obama came on the scene so suddenly in 2007, many think, or are at least asking, “Is Obama the antichrist?” My opinion is that he is not, but that he IS a type, or a precursor, to the real deal who will soon be upon us. It is my opinion that he is a nephilim, as described in Genesis 6:4 and whom the bible tells us are on the earth after the flood. Read up on the nephilim, and if you are a bible believer you will see that it is clear that they are real and among us. My firm opinion is that Obama is one, or a fallen angel directly, and not a hybrid nephilim, but in any case, demonic. I believe he was sent by satan to prepare the way for the Antichrist’s rise and to do satan’s work meanwhile. Maybe I will do a blog entry someday on why I think this. Suffice to say, at the very least, one should wonder about his meteoric ascension in American politics, and the paths that he is taking us down since inauguration. And then there’s that eye…Here is Drudge’s take on it-

BEWARE THE OBAMA ‘EVIL EYE’

Tue Jun 30 2009 07:43:56 ET
“As the summer begins, White House watchers have spotted a new look by President Obama: The Evil Eye!
Staffers have joked about the menacing glance, which comes when the president meets with world leaders who are not aligned with his progressive view. White House photographers have captured the “evil eye” in recent weeks, during sessions with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Colombia’s Alvaro Uribev.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi got hit with the commander’s malocchio last week in the Oval office.
And at least one White House reporter has been on the receiving end of the daggers during a press conference. Developing…”

And now we have Rush musing aloud on the possibility of a demonic connection as well.

Well, that was then. It is more obvious now. Like a snake shedding its skin, we are seeing more of the real Obama. I think it is crystal clear that the facial expressions Rush is seeing (and many others) are not of human origin. I know that many will mock this stance, but that is my opinion and I have held it since 2007, and I still stick to it. Obama is a demon, sent by satan, and the world fell for him. The world will fall even harder for the antichrist soon to come, unless you are saved by grace and blood f Jesus Christ. The scales will fall from your eyes and you will not be deceived.The only safety in these dangerous spiritual times is JESUS.
