In my last post I mentioned the Book of Revelation. By the way, if anybody is free this weekend I'm building a bunker in my basement if you'd like to help. I'll supply the tin foil hats.
Earlier this year Louis Farrakhan spoke very highly of Obama...
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, another powerful Chicago-based political figure associated with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and other long-time associates of Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama, is leaving no doubt about what he thinks of the leader in the campaign for the White House. He says when Obama talks "the Messiah is absolutely speaking." Addressing a large crowd behind a podium Feb. 24 with a Nation of Islam Saviour's Day 2008 sign, Farrakhan proclaims,
"You are the instruments that God is going to use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth. And he has involved young people in a political process that
they didn't care anything about. That's a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking.""Brothers and sisters," Farrakhan said, "Barack Obama to me, is a herald of the Messiah. Barack Obama is like the trumpet that alerts you something new, something better is on the way."
Farrakhan points out that the man Nation of Islam followers refer to as "the Savior," Fard Muhammad, had a black father and a white mother, just as Obama did.
"A black man with a white mother became a savior to us," he said. "A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.
"Would God allow Barack to be president of a country that has been so racist, so evil in its treatment of Hispanics, native Americans, blacks?" he asked. "Would God do something like that? Yeah. Of course he would. That's to show you that the stone that the builders rejected has become the headstone of the corner. This is a sign to you. It's the time of our rise. It's the time that we should take our place. The future is all about you." Full Story What change and/or who do you think Farrakhan is referring to when he says Obama will "herald" in this Messiah?
And the most important question to ask is why does Farrakhan think this way of Obama? What is it that makes him think Obama can help the Nation of Islam? Obama is not a muslim so what is it about him that makes him so connected with Islam and their agenda? 
Do you know what the "Beast" is? We'd better go down to the bunker for this...bring some candles and don't forget the
Kool-Aid. Let's take a look at Revelation Chapter 13.
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a
beast rise up out of the sea, having
seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of
blasphemy.
2 And the
beast which I saw was like unto a
leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the
dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Wikipedia time... (In
antiquity, it was believed that a leopard was a
hybrid of a lion and a
panther, as is reflected in its name, a
Greek portmanteau derived from λέων léon ("lion") and πάρδος párdos ("male panther"), the latter related to
Sanskrit पृदाकु pṝdāku ("snake, tiger, panther").
[3][4] As Farrakhan noted, Obama is half white and half black. Also, the "mouth of a lion"? Obama is a heck of a speaker... people listen and follow him just based on empty promises and uplifting rhetoric, not his actions. Finally, "the dragon (Satan) gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority"...pretty obvious what that means.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the
beast. (
the majority of the world will admire and desire wickedness in the last days)
4 And they worshipped the
dragon (
Satan) which gave power unto the
beast (
representing degenerate earthly kingdoms controlled by Satan): and they worshipped the
beast, saying, Who is like unto the
beast? who is able to make war with him (
i.e. isn't he wonderful!)?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
(If Obama was to take office on January 20th, 2009, 42 months later would be the Summer Solstice June 20th. Exactly 6 months later is December 21st, the Winter Soltice, and also happens to be the end date for the Mayan Calendar.) 6 And he opened his mouth in
blasphemy (
mocking God and all that is sacred and good) against God, to blaspheme his name, and his
tabernacle, and them that dwell in
heaven (
Satan and his followers will mock all that is sacred on earth and in heaven).
7 And it was given unto him (allowed him) to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations (
he is allowed to tempt people everywhere).
8 And all (
the wicked) that dwell upon the earth shall
worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the
Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (
i.e. those who do not follow the Savior are worshiping Satan; Compare with Matthew 12:30 KJV "He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad").
9 If any man have an
ear, let him hear (
you would be wise to heed these warnings about Satan).
10 He (
the powerful wicked) that leadeth into
captivity shall go into captivity (
the wicked will be destroyed by the wicked): he (
the wicked) that killeth with the
sword must be (
will be) killed with the
sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another
beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a
lamb ("
like a lamb," not "the Lamb," perhaps meaning a powerful "false Christ," a counterfeit by Satan), and he spake as a
dragon (
like Satan).
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first
beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to
worship the first
beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders (
Satan and his angels can do miracles), so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven (
nuclear war???) on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them (
the wicked and the foolish) that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the
beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image (
i.e. worship) to the
beast, which had the wound by a
sword, and did live. (
In other words, Satan will do all he can to get pople to follow him, to "worship" him by living wickedly in the last days.)
15 And he had power to give life (
make wickedness attractive) unto the image of the
beast (
which the wicked made in verse 14 by following Satan's instructions), that the image of the
beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not
worship the image of the
beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and
poor, free and
bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: (
In the culture of the Bible, "forehead" was symbolic of "loyalty")17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the
beast, or the number of his name (
Satan exercises great control over economies where the majority are wicked or allow wickedness).
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (
666...not sure exactly what this means).
You can draw from this what you want. I'm not saying that Barack Obama is the "Beast" but I'm not, not saying that either.
