http://www.biblelight.net/tower-painting-parliament.jpgHomepage: Primary Proof of the Bible
Signs that the Great Tribulation (World War III) & Jesus' Second Coming will come "upon the whole habitable Earth" during Obama's presidency: 1) phony Christs, 2) resurrection of Israeli state in 1947/48, 3) 9/11, 4) increased popularity of homosexuality, 5) increased popularity of abortion, 6) women more frequently ruling over men, 7) Mahmoud Ahmadinejad & Hamas's desire to wipe out the Israeli people like Haman of The Book of Esther, 8) (the key to timing the start of the Tribulation very precisely) election of Obama-Biden (discussed together with the popularity of Oprah Winfrey & Rick Warren), 9) the European Union (originated in 1948)'s connections with the Roman Empire:
1) the many phony Christs who have sprung up in the last 40 years:
Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Many religious leaders & others who claim(ed) to be Jesus, mostly in the 20th/21st century, and at the time of Jesus' 1st Coming which foreshadowed His 2nd Coming. These include de Jesus Miranda, many of whose followers in 35 countries had 666 tattooed on their bodies beginning in 2007, just as the Antichrist will cause people to do something like this (Revelation 13)!
2) The Parable of the Fig Tree occurs in Matthew 24 which is about the last hour of the Earth- the Great Tribulation
Jesus' Second Coming:
Matt. 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened [foreshadowed by the darkening of the sun at Jesus' Crucifixion after his 3.5 year ministry, as the second half of the Tribulation will last 3.5 years], and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other...
-Parable of the Fig Tree: Jesus' Second Coming will happen "within a generation (70 or 80 years? i.e. by 2017/8 or 2027/8?)" of 1947/8, the year that the state of Israel (symbolized by the fig tree throughout the Bible) was resurrected?!
"A man's years are three-score years and ten [70]; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years [80 years], yet is their strength labour & sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." (Psalm 90:10) This verse suggests the Second Coming will be at latest by 2017 or 2027.
"The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation [i.e. the "grandchildren," as God's Word translation points out]." (Deuteronomy 23:8) This passage proves that all the Baby Boomers born in 1947 can be considered one "generation," which means that Jesus' Second Coming will happen by the time most or all of that generation die.
Israel & the Fig Tree , Fig Tree as symbol of Israel
...Matt. 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
If Obama were to have two terms, he would be in office until the beginning of 2017. If the "generation" that will not come to pass until the Great Tribulation takes place & Jesus comes again refers to 70 years following the United Nations' approval of the presence of Jews in Palestine in 1947, then Jesus' Second Coming must be in 2017 at latest. Since the Tribulation lasts 7 years and is followed by a short period of days before Jesus' Second Coming according to Daniel 12, if the Tribulation began this year, it would be over by about 2016.
PREFATORY REMARKS FOR UNDERSTANDING WHAT FOLLOWS:
Throughout the Bible, there are tons of "types" of Christ & the Antichrist who imitates Christ in many uncommon ways. "TYPE": a thing or person that represents perfectly or in the best way a class or category; model; a genus or species that most nearly exemplifies the essential characteristics of a higher group.
Symbols of Christ/God & of God's people in whom God lives who are "clothed with the Sun [of righteousness- i.e. Jesus (Malachi 4:2], with the Moon [Satan chief of "the world rulers of darkness" (Eph. 6:12)] under her feet [Luke 10: Christ's disciples trample on serpents, which symbolize Satan]" (Revelation 12:1): Abraham, Lot, ancient Israel, Esther, Barak, Ruth,...
"Israel" throughout much of the Bible refers to God's people including all true Christians, who are "descendants of Abraham" (Galatians 3:29) & "real Jews with circumcised hearts" (Romans 2:28)
"TYPES" OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION IN THE BIBLE WHICH ARE PRECEDED BY CONDITIONS HIGHLY RESEMBLING THE CONDITIONS OF TODAY:
3) Abraham's flight from Ur of the Chaldeans (Gen. 11:31), i.e. the people who have Babylon the Great as their capital, into the "Negeb" ("parched land," akin to the "wilderness" of Revelation 12) on his way to the Promised Land, is mentioned immediately after the description of the fall of the Tower of Babylon in the first 9 verses of Ch. 11 of Genesis at a time of a universal language, the only place in all 50 chapters of Genesis where a tower is mentioned! Similarly, on [B]9/11[/B] , the Twin Towers of New York City, which fits the description of Mystery Babylon the Great, fell at a time when English was a nearly universal language in the world!
-the events of [B]9/11[/B] also shadow (or fulfill?) the "end-time" vision of Daniel 8, as well as shadow the fulfillment of the end-time events of Rev. Ch. 9-11, 17-18, & Amos 9:11: Click Here to see the fruit of my months of research about the indisputable connection between the above verses & 9/11. The "day of the LORD" when Jesus reigns on Earth is called " a day against the high towers" (Zephaniah 1:16) & as "the day when the towers fall." (Isaiah 30:25) "Shall a trumpet be blown in the city and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?" (Amos 3:6)
4) the flight of Lot from Sodom (Mystery Babylon "the great city" [Rev. 17:18] is "spiritually called Sodom, & Egypt..." [Rev. 11:8]) which occurs soon before the destruction of Sodom (paralleling the destruction of Mystery Babylon in Rev. 17-18) occurs at a time when [B]homosexuality[/B] is widespread, as it has become in the last 40 years more than throughout much of history! Jesus connects the destruction of Sodom with the Tribulation in Luke 17!
5) the flight of Israel from Egypt (Mystery Babylon "the great city" [Rev. 17:18] is "spiritually called Sodom, & Egypt..." [Rev. 11:8]) into the "wilderness" (akin to the "wilderness" of Revelation 12) occurs soon after a massive killing of babies (Exodus 1), just as there have been more [B]abortions[/B] in the past forty years than there have been for much of history!
6) God says about His end-time people "Israel" that "[B]women rule over them[/B]." (Isaiah 3:12): Now women pastors are far more common than ever, contrary to God's commands in the Bible. 2 of the last 3 Secretaries of State and now Hilary Clinton have been women, Madeleine Albright being the first woman in U.S. history to attain that position, in 1997! "Women's participation in national political life remained low long after the right to vote was gained in 1920. No more than two women served in the Senate at any time until 1994, and fewer than a dozen were Congressional Representatives until 1955. Current representation is 16 senators and 67 representatives, around 15% of the United States Congress. One quarter of women in Congress are people of color, which reflects the American population, but bucks the trend of the Congress." ([url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_women_in_the_United_States#The_growth_of_modern_feminism[/url])
7) the adversary" Haman the son of an Agagite (parallels the Antichrist Gog the Magogite mentioned in Ezekiel 38) seeks to annihilate all the people of Israel, causing them great tribulation, until he is defeated by Esther (a type of Christ), just like Satan "the adversary" does to God's people in Revelation 12. Today, Mahmoud [B]AHMAdinejad[/B] ("The Praised Descendant of the Most Highly Praised," like Jesus; name looks like "Haman") "King" of Iran, as Haman was a high-ranking official in what is now Iran, calls like HAMAn to have Israel "wiped off the map," as does the terrorist organization [B]HAMAs[/B]!
8) BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA-BIDEN'S ELECTION, and his connections with types of Antichrist/Christ (who is imitated by the Antichrist) Osama BIn LaDEN, Hussein of Iraq, Batman, and the Bible's Abel [adversary of Cain], Barak, Balak, Aholibamah, Bamah, & the description of Satan in Luke 10:18 as falling from the heights of Heaven (Barack O-bama can mean "lightning of the heights," as O'Donnell & O'Malley mean descendants of Donnell & Malley):
I cannot think of any other person in history who is connected in the Bible so much with the Antichrist (via the persons of abel, barak, balak, aholibamah who fornicates with type of the antichrist edom in genesis 36, aholibah of ezekiel 23 who represents babylon the great harlot against god; & the "hill" [symbolic of kings in rev. 17:9] of "bamah" of ezekiel 20:29 where god's people "israel" offer sacrifices [think "sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of the lips confessing his name" (hebrews 13:15)] right before god casts it into the "wilderness" in ezekiel 20:35 to purify the nation of sin, which event is a foreshadowing of the time very quickly approaching when god will cast christians [the "real jews" of romans 2:28] into the "wilderness" of revelation 12 to purify them of sin so they may be pleasing to god) as barack hussein obama is. His closest competitors each have only one corresponding biblical person:
-genghis khan-mccain-cain, ahmadinejad-haman-hitler,
-Hiram Ulysses S. Grant-hiram "the king of tyre"-"king of Tyre" identified as satan in ezekiel 28,
-bloody mary the catholic queen of england-mary worshipped by catholics/orthodox as queen of heaven, elizabeth "the virgin queen"-mary declared by catholics/orthodox to be a "perpetual virgin",
-richard the lionheart-napoleon-jesus "lion of judah" & satan who goes about like a "roaring lion")
If Barack Obama were not a turning point, why wouldn't God have had types of the Antichrist & Christ with names resembling Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, etc. as well? But none of the names I listed in Part Two resemble these names. The only exception I can think of is Ulysses S. Grant, and both he and Hitler were key figures in major wars which foreshadowed the Great Tribulation.
Furthermore, some of the Bible's echoes of Barack are mentioned immediately before or during references to the Tribulation, which fact further confirms that Obama's election will help trigger the Great Tribulation:
1) the "hill" [said to be symbolic of kings in rev. 17:9; the Bible compares kings also to tall trees in Daniel 4 & to tall towers in Isaiah] of "Bamah" of ezekiel 20:29 where god's people "israel" offer sacrifices [think "sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of the lips confessing his name" (hebrews 13:15)] right before god casts it into the "wilderness" in ezekiel 20:35 to purify His people of sin, which event is a foreshadowing of the time very quickly approaching when god will cast some "lukewarm" christians [the "real jews" of romans 2:28] into the "wilderness" of Revelation 12 to purify them of sin so they may be pleasing to God) Click here to read about how the 144,000 witnesses of Revelation 7 who are of "the tribes of Israel" are at least for the most part Christians rather than ethnic Jews, if you need further convincing that "Israel" in the Bible including throughout Revelation often refers to Christians who are God's people, which the original Israel was a type/foreshadowing of.
2) other than Ahab who is mentioned in connection with Balak in Micah 6, Balak the king of Moab [Obama!] of Numbers 22 is the ONLY type of the Antichrist named in Revelation & all 12 of the minor prophet books, which all talk about the Tribulation!
-a. Balak (echoes Barack & "black") is mentioned in Revelation 2:14: "Balak CAST a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols [false gods] & to commit fornication [the Bible often speaks of committing fornication against God by not living as God wants us to live: that is why the Bible speaks of Babylon the Great "Harlot" in Revelation 17-18 as opposed to the "bride" of Christ of Revelation 19]. The word "cast" is connected with the Tribulation & Hell throughout Revelation & much of the Bible, of course because God inspired all of it! For instance, Revelation 2:10: "The DEVIL is about to CAST some of you into PRISON, that you may be TRIED; and ye shall have TRIBULATION ten days"; this verse connects Balak with the Devil.
-b. Balak is mentioned also in Micah 6:5 right before Micah prophesies the Tribulation in Micah 6:9-16.
3) Barak the son of Abinoam [contains "Obama" backwards + "bin", as Obama-Biden echoes Osama BIn laDEN!] from Kedesh [Barack is from Kenya] of Judges 4-5 is the man who saves Israel from the oppression foreshadowing the Great Tribulation, just as many people SUPPOSE Barack will create great change which will relieve distress. Barak is assisted by the prophetess/judge of Israel Deborah who praises him in Judges 5, just as Oprah "appeared with Obama at campaign events in Iowa, South Carolina, and New Hampshire on December 8 and 9 — helping bring the following four things to Obama: campaign cash, celebrity, excitement and big crowds," according to TIME. (http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1687526,00.html) This is no coincidence, for whoever was the judge of Israel was to teach Israelites "the way wherein they should walk" (Exodus 18:20), just as Oprah does to millions through her tv show. She has appeared on TIME's list of the 100 most influential people of the year more often than any other person in history! And as DebORAH is a prophetess, so is the Antichrist accompanied by a false prophet. Also, Oprah appears in Judges 6 (the very next chapter) as the place "Ophrah" in association with the type of Christ (like Barak) Gideon. And Oprah also appears in the Book of Ruth Ch. 1 as Orpah (Oprah's original name, before she changed it), the woman who leaves Israel to return to worship the gods of Moab (Obama! as I mentioned above concerning Balak the King of Moab!)
4) Satan in Luke 10:18 is described as lightning falling from the heights of Heaven, while Barack O-bama can mean "lightning of the heights," as O'Donnell & O'Malley mean descendants of Donnell & Malley. Luke 10 is a foreshadowing of the Great Tribulation, for 70 disciples (symbolic of the 144,000 total witnesses of Revelation 7 who according to Revelation 11 will appear in pairs throughout the many Babylons of the world like New York City & Rome) are sent "two & two," and Satan is said to fall in Luke 10:18 after they return; just as Satan's fall from Heaven occurs in Revelation 12:4 immediately after the pairs of witnesses are caught up to Heaven in Revelation 11 after having witnessed for 3 ½ years like Jesus whom they symbolize!
5) Aholibah who is described as a harlot against God of Ezekiel 23, just like Aholibamah of Genesis 36 is who fornicates with Edom ("red") a type of the Antichrist; and who is made by God to represent the harlot people of Judah, is prophesied to be cast into the Tribulation in Ezekiel 23:26-49. She is connected with the description of Barak in Revelation 2:14 because she offers her children ("bread") to "idols" (Ezekiel 23:39). She is also thereby said to "profane" God's "sanctuary" (or "holy place") in the same verse, and Matthew 24:15 says that the Tribulation will occur when the "abomination [connected often with "idols", in Ezekiel 9 for instance] of desolation" appears in "the holy place." Aholibah's name appears nowhere else in the Bible except in Genesis 36 where the extremely similar name Aholibamah the daughter of Anah [as Obama is the daughter of Ann(e)!], who has a kid named Jalaam [echoes Balaam who is associated with Balak], appears. Furthermore, considering the "hill" of "Bamah" of Ezekiel 20:28, we can read "Aholibamah" as "a holy hill," and Mount Zion in Jerusalem is referred to as "a holy hill" throughout the Bible (http://bibleq.com/search?site=biblecc&client=default_frontend&proxystylesheet=custom26&filter=0&num=100&output=xml_no_dtd&btnG=Search&q=holy%20hill). It is a symbol of God the King of Israel, who is as gigantic as a mountain, & who Obama is a counterfeit of. Mountains/hills are compared to kings in Revelation 17:9-10 for instance. Why on Earth would God make up this name for Judah if He weren't showing us the connection between Obama & the Tribulation?
6) Bel (in Abel) is a very famous Babylonian god worshipped by many like Obama is. "Abel" connects Obama with Belshazzar type of the Antichrist and king of Babylon as well, plus Abe Lincoln. See this very important link about how Daniel 5, 7, 8, 11 are all about Iraq, U.S., Hussein & sons, Barack Hussein Obama, Mystery Babylon (Ancient Babylon in Iraq, Mystery Babylon=USA), & 9/11.
7) False prophet Rick Warren ("place for rabbits," which are symbolic of evil spirits) will give the inauguration speech on January 20th to the "honorable" Obama and will thereby cause people including professing Christians to worship Obama even more since they see he has the sanction of "America's Pastor," just as Revelation 13 describes a "false prophet" (the second beast) who causes the whole world to worship the first beast (the Antichrist). Jeremiah 8:10-11 connects Warren with the Tribulation, because it says "every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace."
-This verse applies to Warren, for he has been called "America's Pastor," and the word translated from Hebrew as "greatest" here means "most important" or "most distinguished." Warren's "The Purpose-Driven Life" is the best-selling hardback in history, and often is sold for $19.95 per copy.
-Warren is certainly "given to covetousness": he claims to give 90% of his income away, but considering his massive income, that leaves him with about $11 million!!! In Luke 21, God condemns the people who only give out of their excess as opposed to the widow who gives everything she has to live on! "It is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God than a camel to pass through the eye of a needle" – i.e., it's IMPOSSIBLE!
-Warren is famous for his P.E.A.C.E. plan which he claims will relieve oppression such as poverty. The false prophet Hananiah who is cursed by God prophecies during the 70-year Babylonian exile, which was made by God to foreshadow the 7-year Tribulation under Babylon the Great, that there will be "peace" (Jeremiah 28:9) sooner than God plans to bring peace, when he prophecies that God has ALREADY "broken the yoke [OPPRESSION] of the King of Babylon [the Antichrist Satan who will rule during the Tribulation, as is shown by Isaiah 14 for instance]." (28:2)
"Bama" also means "son of prophecy": this confirms even more strongly that Obama is prophesied all over the Bible, as does the following verse: "Surely the Lord GOD will do NOTHING [including the start of the Tribulation] but He revealeth his secret unto His servants the prophets." (Amos 3:7)
There are tons of instances in the Bible where God shows the similarity between people/things by making the names extremely similar as is the case with Barack-Barak-Balak-Bamah-Aholibamah:
-God punishes people for not utilizing "the waters of Shiloah" (Isaiah 8)- "Shiloh" (the name in Genesis 49:10 of Jesus who is the "fountain of living water" [John 4])
-Elijah who resembles Jesus in many uncommon ways-Ahijah the prophet at "Shiloh" (1 Kings 14)-Abijah the good son of Jeroboam whom Ahijah predicts all Israel will mourn for just like they will for Jesus (Zechariah 12:10);
-Elijah-Elisha who are clearly revealed by 2 Kings 2 & Matthew 27 (where Jesus says to God the Father "Eli, Eli, why have you forsaken me?" as Elisha cries "My father, my father, the chariot of Israel & the horsemen thereof" when Elijah forsakes him in the fiery chariots which take him to Heaven) to be types of God the Father & God the Son (their names even sound almost exactly the same);
-type of Christ Joshua the son of Josedech- Jesus (who has the same name as Joshua in Hebrew & Greek) the son of Joseph ("p" is an upside down "d") of Zechariah, etc.
9) The creation of the European Union, which originally had 10 member "kingdoms, during the same year as the creation of an Israeli state:
Daniel 7 indicates that the fourth & last beast kingdom proceeding Jesus' Second Coming would have 10 "horns" representing "kings/kingdoms". This kingdom was undoubtedly foreshadowed by the Roman Empire which defeated the foreshadowing of the third beast which is clearly proven by Daniel 8 to have been foreshadowed by Alexander the Great "the king of Greece"'s Greek Empire. The European Union resembles a resurrected Roman Empire. The European Union is very possibly part of the vast assemblage of nations which will be led by "the king of Babylon" and making "desolate" all the cities of the world during the 2nd half of the Tribulation, especially given its ubiquitous image of a woman riding a beast as is true of Babylon the Great Harlot of Revelation 17-18, and given its tower which looks identical to the Tower of Babylon. Metaphorical "Chaldea" with Mystery Babylon as its capital (NYC & D.C.) is undoubtedly the U.S.A., but this situation appears like it's soon about to change very quickly, as Babylons have come & gone throughout history. (Mystery Babylon the Great)
http://www.biblelight.net/tower-painting-parliament.jpg
notice that "the two lampstands" witnessing in Rev. 11 include a very small portion (literally? 144000 people) of "the seven lampstands which are the seven churches" (Rev. 1:20) representing the entire body of people in the world professing to be Christians in our age and any age in history including John's. To be of this select group, which will guarantee you see Jesus before the rest of the saints of the Tribulation, guarantee you a position as an "elder"/"king"/"priest" during the Millenium Kingdom, guarantee you don't fall into Hell like 2/3 of those tempted by the Devil in the wilderness will (Exodus 32: the golden calf, Zechariah 13:8), you must:
-"keep the Word of My endurance" (Rev. 3:10) by meditating on the law of the LORD "day & night" (Psalm 1)
-love God with ALL your heart & mind or else you will have to undergo temptation in the wilderness during the Tribulation (Rev. 13:15-19)
-cry to God all day about the abominations committed by people who love the world rather than God with all their heart & mind in order to be sealed (Ezekiel 9, some Psalms)
-be a "virgin" "undefiled by women" (Revelation 14:4 "These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins"): Since all true Christians are called "virgins" for Christ the bridegroom including people who aren't literally virgins (Matt. 25), the word "virgin" here could refer to someone not "defiled" by sin (ex. Ezekiel 23: Israel described as "defiled by the Babylonians," and Babylon the Great is described as a "woman" in Rev. 17)
