And Some Call Him the "Messiah"

I believe this is the first time in a Presidential campaign that I have ever heard one of the candidates being called the "Messiah." I have heard the candidate himself make some jokes about it, but I have never heard him come right out and deny it. You'd better careful, you better be right, for the messiah has come to town. Sen. Barack Hussein Obama attracted an estimated crowd of 35,000 swooning followers as he spoke in Leesburg, VA this past week.

On October 9th the WorldNetDaily posted the following by Louis Farrakhan leader of the Nation of Islam about Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama. Farrakhan says when Obama talks 'the Messiah is absolutely speaking." Last Spring when Barack spoke in Germany many European newspapers called Obama the Messiah.

According to the Websters Dictionary, the word mes·si·ah means "anointed." Definitions include: the expected king and deliverer of the Jews; a professed or accepted leader of some hope or cause.

In Matthew 24:4-5 Jesus warns us with the following words, "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ (Messiah),' and will deceive many.

Jesus confronts the Pharisees in Matthew 22 by asking them, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" "The son of David," they replied. He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'? For he says, " 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet." 'If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?" No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.

What do you believe about Jesus? If you believe, like Peter did, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God (see Matthew 16:16), could you give the reasons for this to people who might ask you (see 1 Peter 3:15)?

What do we look for in our leaders especially our President? We want to know what they are basing their decisions on, what governs their thinking. We also want them to be capable of the job entrusted to them.

If elected President, Barack Hussein Obama, says he will bring change. The most reliable indicator of the changes he will bring is to look at his past. With his election and the re-election of Nancy Pelosi in the House and Harry Reid in the Senate we could be looking at a very different America in a very short period of time.

If new Supreme Court judges are put on the bench changing the ideology of the Court we could see the following areas undergo major shifts or changes along with one party in power in the Congress:

• Same-sex marriage in all 50 States and all Territories


• Compulsory gender training in all public schools


• Adoption placements with homosexual couples nationwide


• Medical professionals would have to do compulsory abortions and artificial insemination


• Church buildings would have to be used for all wedding ceremonies


• Churches would lose their exemption to reject certain staff position applicants


• No student Christian activities at school either during or after school hours.


• No church meetings in public schools.


• Dismissal of "don't ask, don't tell policy in the military


• No Pledge of Allegiance to the flag in public schools because of "under God"


• Reversal of Partial Birth Amendment and all abortion restrictions


• Eliminate all restrictions on pornography in public libraries and schools


• Loss of gun ownership or heavy restrictions with new Second Amendment decisions


• Loss of or very limited home schooling availability


• Heavy handed enforcement of single provider government health care insurance


• Re-enactment of the "Fairness Doctrine"to eliminate or restrict conservative talk radio and TV programs


• Restrictions on Christian preaching, books, and education as it relates to same sex marriage as hate speech


• Continued price increases in energy cost as the US does nothing to keep up with demand domestically


• Union-ification of industries and business with no secret ballot which drivies up prices


• Massive budget deficits
