One need not be a seer to recognize that Barack Obama's life is in danger. From drug addled meth heads, to victims of a racist mindset, plots against the life of Barack Obama are almost as common fleas on a dog. One news commentator named Liz Trotta even tastelessly joked about it. His potential assassination has even been used to teach geometry.
According to British Nobel literature laureate Doris Lessing, some would assassinate Barack Obama if he became president of the United States. Obama "would certainly not last long, a black man in the position of president. They would murder him."
Such conspiracy theories had not long to wait for confirmation. Shawn Adolph, Tharin Gartrell, Nathan Johnson and Natasha Gromack had traveled to Denver to kill Obama during the Democratic National Convention of 2008.
Another such plot in Arkansas, has 20 year old Daniel Cowart , entering into a conspiracy with 18 year old Paul Schlesselman, involving not only the assassination of Barack Obama, but a national killing spree of another 88 African Americans. Despite these attempts having been foiled, more have appeared and such plots are not limited to domestic schemes only.
The question raised here is: Could Barack Obama be the beast which receives the deadly wound, only to be healed miraculously?
In the book of Matthew, we are give these almost cryptic comments by our Savior:
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Considering the identity of the last world leader (Antichrist) in the context of the two preceding verses, one is naturally led to determine the identity of the first world leader. The very first earthly kingdom ever mentioned in the Bible, was the kingdom of Noah's great-grandson Nimrod, which was constructed after the deluge. In Genesis, the Bible states the following about Nimrod:
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
The small word here rendered by the translators into the English word, “before” can be misleading by contextual ambiguity. The word “before” used in this verse is the word “paniym” (Strong's H#6440) which means; “face” or in the context of this passage, “in God's face.” This is also the same word used in Genesis 6:11;
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Nimrod was brazen in his contempt for God, as Flavius Josephus records:
“Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe to God, as if it was through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power. He also said he would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to be able to reach' and that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers!” ? Flavius Josephus JEWISH ANTIQUITIES, (circa AD 94) B. I. ch. 4. sect. 2. William Whiston Translation
It is also worth noting, that Nimrod was the first (this side of the great deluge) to use brick and that he used it to build a tower in contempt of God. The phrase “…let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth” is a clear reference to the concept of nationality. Nimrod and his confederates were attempting to build no less than a global government and that tower would be a reminder to all of the power of man reigning over that of God. It is notable that Nimrod said he would be “revenged on God.” This is the identical spirit one would expect to seen in an Antichrist.
And well it may, as an archetype of Freemasonry probably dates back to the first attempt at a one world government during the time of Nimrod, who was the first great builder recorded in the Bible. Nimrod is credited with the construction of the tower of Babel, and is considered by many Masons to be the traditional founder of operative masonry. Nimrod's wife was named Semiramis and their son was named Tammuz. Though the names have changed overtime and place, this trinity of man, woman and son has been the basis of sun worship or goddess worship under the guise of the host of heaven, the sun, moon and stars since antiquity. Some sources suggest that the tower of Babel was also an astronomical observation platform for the veneration of the heavenly bodies, which even now bear the names those ‘men of renown.'
According to Alexander Hyslop, for his contempt of God, Nimrod was cut to pieces by his grand-uncle Shem, who then scattered the pieces. After the death of Nimrod, his empire lived on as many followed his lead and ruled ancient city-states under a feudalistic system planted upon high ground, in contempt of God. Would this contempt indeed see Nimrod worshipped as God? One need only compare the Egyptian worship of Osiris and Isis to find the answer.

That picture makes halos in art look solar. Like you are saying Jesus is the sun or something.
Gee, this is a fun game: Didn't Ronald Reagan receive a fatal wound and survive? Wasn't he supported by a false, malicious form of Christian conservativism, all quite frankly not Christian, also quite good at spinning lies, falsehoods and divisive images ... Same world still results when looking at the Bush Bunch ... it burns, it burns. Seems to me the anti-Christ, if there is one, isn't an individual, but a kind of sickness in socieities under extreme stress, as the centuries roll on ...
@RAmen:
The halo disc representations in art are indeed solar representations. This is a result of pagan sun worship which was incorporated into "Christianity" through the edicts of the Emperor Constantine and which was sustained by the false teachings of the Roman Catholic church.
The corruption of the faith all ties back to the worship of Nimrod. There is indeed a true Christianity but it has nothing to do with the teachings and practices of "the Church."
BTW, I love your noodles.
@ Douglas McDaniel: Performing Arts Examiner:
Ronald Reagan's wound was not a "fatal" wound but was mostly superficial. Interestingly enough, he was the first president to dodge Tecumseh’s curse which caused death each 20 years for every president elected since Harrison. GW Bush likewise, missed it. There may be something portentous in this but I can't put my finger on it.
Bush likewise had some similarities which could be expected of an Antichrist figure. I believe the signs are similar to a slot machine that is about to pay off. The paylines keep getting closer to a jackpot until the thing hits.
There is indeed an Antichrist coming. The "sickness in societies" of which you speak are representations of the spiritual manifestation that results in the final product.
Got something to say?
