What Jesus Said About Barak Obama TRUTH ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S NAME |
A Baptist preacher from Arizona made headline news recently because of a sermon he gave titled "Why I hate Barak Obama." The message, loosely based on Psalm 58, was replete with anger and violence. The preacher even went as far to state that he prays that President Obama dies and goes to hell. This evil tirade from Pastor Stephen Anderson is certainly not the norm for people of faith. For the Bible speaks often of how believers should view leadership from the government. 1 Timothy 2:1-2, "Supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks should be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence."
And believe it or not, the Bible also speaks prophetically of President Obama. The references to the commander-in-chief are not subtle play on words but a glaring message to those willing to accept the Scriptures.
What the Savior said about Barak Obama in Luke 10:18 is simply amazing. In this verse, the Messiah said, "I have seen satan fall like lightening." Casually reading this passage in English will not convey the original message of the Messiah. The allusion to the President can only be understood in the Hebrew language.
 In Hebrew, the word for "lightening" is "barak" and is spelled with the Hebrew letters "bet-resh-kuf." This can be verified through the use of a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and Dictionary. The Strong's Concordance is a listing of every word in the Bible. The words are given specific numbers that can then be used to easily find the corresponding ancient terms. This book allows a novice at Bible study to delve deep into the original meanings of the Scriptures. "Barak" is Strong's number H1300 and means to "cast forth as lightening."
The fourteenth chapter of Isaiah is where most Christians base their theology of Satan. "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! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of YHWH: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High, "Isaiah 14:12-14. The Hebrew used in this passage to describe the heights from which Satan fell is the word "bama." This is Strong's number H1116 and is the term used in the Bible to describe the "high places" of demonic worship.
Finally, the Hebrew letter "vav" is often used as a conjunction to pair thoughts of speech and can be pronounced as an "o." With this in mind, it is easy to see how the exact words of the Messiah spoke of the forty-fourth president. In Luke 10:18, the Savior said "I have seen satan barak o bama" or in Hebrew "Ani ra'ah barak o bama." The truth of such a statement can not be denied.
 Such prophecies are not to suggest that President Obama is the Antichrist or Satan in disguise. Nor should Saints pray that Obama should die to leave his wife a widow. Instead, believers should pray daily for President Obama. The references to Barak Obama in the Hebrew expose how many of the President's policies, such as his blatant disrespect for Israel, are contrary to the message of the Bible. When it comes to this President, believers should be "as wise as serpents and meek as a dove," Matthew 10:16.
