Obama: The Biblical Prophecy
Obama: Breaking the barriers between Church and State.

=================================================================================================

I gave the following article to Senator Barak Obama and his wife the week after his announcement in order to encourage them and to strengthen his faith in God’s Providence. But because of the nature of the prophecy, I could not make it public.

I am moved by the Holy Spirit that now is the time for African American Pastors across South Carolina and the South to be made aware that this is more than History.

Please be kind enough to read and then disseminate . . . and may God defend the right!

SONS OF ISSACHAR
A Biblical Rationale for the Presidential Campaign of Barak Obama
by
Kenneth R. Adderley, Ph.D., M.Div., M.A.
Professor of Religion & Theology
Bethsaida Bible Institute
http://www.bethsaidabible.org

The devil hit us with Osama,
But God raised up Obama,
The devil hastily made a death-launching push
By stealing elections and approving Bush,
But God, whose Will is not slack,
Remembered the prophecy and raised up Barak.


Barak’s Victory (Judges 4: 3-5:15)

Winning the War

1. The next time the Bible mentions Issachar is when he moved from being a slave to becoming a soldier.

2. God’s people were fighting for their lives, and God moved upon Deborah, a prophetess and a judge (counselor) in Israel to go to Barak (same name) and encourage him to lead the fight to save the nation and the people.

3. Barak hesitated (Judges 4:8) but agreed to go if God’s prophetess would go with him to battle.

4. The bible says that Deborah arose and went with Barak (v.9) and that he called Zebulon and Naphtali, armed soldiers of war to go up with them. (I do not know if this reference is to Michele) but notice that Bible does not mention that Barak called out Issachar to fight. However, all through the wilderness wanderings Issachar is always encamped somewhere between Zebulon and Naphtali, with three tribes on each of the four-sided encampment.


==================================================================================================

No worries Obama supporters. Nancy Pelosi, who is running the Convention in Denver, founded the Democratic "Christian Coalition". Obama is the ONE. HE has been chosen to bring more Evangelical Voters to the flock. To see the way. Can I get an Amen?

7. Thanks for saying that. "We don't need another hero. All we need is to find the way home . . . ."
Edited on Sat Mar-22-08 09:15 AM by patrice
This sort of thing is very damaging with religious others who disagree with a coronation of a "ONE".

All of that distracts from the vital tasks at hand.

Besides which, Obama seems to be saying it's not about a "ONE" it's about us.

8. I'm just reporting the Prophecy
:hi:

Pelosi would have us believe that the lesson we learned from President Insane is that we need more of that good ol' religion to bring more voters into our flock.

Doesn't thrill me much. :-(

11. I think this whole country needs to step back and think about the definition of Blasphemy.
All of these revelations coming at us externally = VERY creepy stuff.

Truth has an internal private ground. Trying to graft this of that onto it, for whatever "good" reasons, has historically resulted in many abominations.

17. Truth --does-- have an internal private ground
For me.... truth is very personal. I'm bothered that there are those in the Democratic Party that exploit the individual spirit for purely political purposes. But.... that's just me.

20. If it's personal, why don't you just let those who are being "exploited" take care of themselves.
Truth, internal and/or otherwise, is, by definition, inevitable. The best thing you can do for the truth is to tend to yourself, be as honest in ALL things as you can be, that is what those who you claim are being exploited need.

It is a FALSE thing for you to interfere with their perceptions of truth, just as false as what you claim the Democratic Party is doing.

It is a FALSE thing for me to respect the spirit of the individual? There is only ONE Truth?

I gave ya' one link down below. You can dismiss this post as just the crazy ramblings of an internets tubes poster, but it IS where the Democratic Party wants to go.

26. I think truth is inevitable and y/our projections violate the very principles you claim to espouse.
YOU are mixing politics and relgion. I DON'T KNOW what all of those "exploited" folks are doing, but I DO know what you are doing, and your assumption that you can go around doing this sort of thing to "save" folks from the horrible Obaminator PROVES that you think you are somekind of SAVIOR.

You don't have a problem with mixing politics and relgion; you're problem is when it's not YOUR politics and/or religion.

And honey... believe me... you don't know me. I'm not trying to SAVE anyone. Is there a forum on Religion around here? I'd be happy to have a "discussion" on this with you if you feel I'm just upset because I have a problem with my conflicted politics and/or religion.

If you are trying to warn people about following a savior, well, then you are trying to save them! That makes you a savior.

5. So how does OUR story end...?
The Bible tells that after the victory of Barak and Deborah,
the leader of the enemy (Sisera) flees the battle,
hides out in the tent of Jael, who impales him with
a tent spike while he sleeps...

So, who is Sisera (Cheney?)..
and who is Jael who does the honors?

Stay tuned, faithful flock,
and see how this prophetic soap opera
winds up.... as the stomach turns...

9. I will vote no to the Pastor in Chief
I found this link regarding your post http://www.hbcunetwork.com/modules/membersinfo/members_info.cfm?user_id=32815

It is a pathetic concept




NO to the Pastor in Chief




last October he told an audience of 4,000 that he hoped to be "an instrument of God" and that "I am confident that we can create a Kingdom right here on Earth".

23. Using google to infer the most private workings of people's minds and hearts is delusional.
Have you ever taken a course in logic?

Do you have any idea how technology creates what you are reading?

Using google to INFER the most private motives and thoughts of others is like looking at a pile of dogshit and describing its owner's thoughts on love AND then prophecying the future of humanity.

Inferences have NO logical necessity, by the way.

29. Saying that they are trying to create a Messiah is not fair.
There are religious Democrats. Corporate media characterizes the Party in negative religious terms. So there's a working group to examine those two facts.

31. No, it's not fair. But it is a bad side effect of the mixture
And when you open that door there is no going back. It is disrespectful of YOU and ME when a Political Party places the needs of the Party above the Spirituality of the Individual. Obama is seen as the perfect mixture. So be it. For me... there is no "perfect mixture" and there never will be.

35.  Matthew 20:16: So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Edited on Sat Mar-22-08 12:43 PM by ElsewheresDaughter
oy oy oy

A saying of Jesus; in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus declares that in the world to come, “The last shall be first and the first last.” 1
‡ The teaching implies that those who have prospered through wickedness will fail, whereas the good who have suffered for the sake of God will win salvation.


sounds like we maybe in for another round of Bible thumping in the WH
