My flesh-man wanted Romney to win, since I felt that he&#8217;d be better for the economy and for my personal pocketbook. Conversely, my spirit man knew that this nation had done nothing to deserve a reprieve from the divine judgments that are coming against it for turning its back on YHVH. As a nation, we have largely rejected Elohim and biblical values. Remember the sound bite from the Democratic Convention where the crowd booed and rejected adding to its party platform &#8220;the idea of faith and belief in God&#8221; (<a title=\"Democrats reject God\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cncbOEoQbOg\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cncbOEoQbOg<\/a>)? This nation has not repented of its apostasy. There has been no mass (or even minor) return to YHVH and to his Word as our guiding light and spiritual standard. No major leaders calling for true repentance. And so on. Only divine judgments will bring a nation to repentance. Show me any place in the Scriptures with the possible exception of Nineveh where revival came to a nation without judgments first occurring? To wit, just study the book of Judges! This being the case, I knew that we deserved four more years of a man that YHVH will use to spank America for its spitting in his face.<\/p>\n<p>We must ask ourselves, <strong>what will bring America to its knees?<\/strong> Nine-eleven didn&#8217;t. Neither did Katrina, nor record droughts and floods, nor fires, nor, most recently, Superstorm Sandy. Only when the golden calf of our prosperity comes down in a major way (even worse than 2008) will proud America fall to its knees\u2014at least as I see it. The economy is that one thing that affects us all. Terrorist events, storms, droughts and fires only affect some of us. It&#8217;s always the other guy. With the economy, it&#8217;s all of us equally (more or less). Obama is the man for the job! He&#8217;s all about destroying our economy: carbon sequestration and credits, increased taxation, socialized healthcare, destroying attempts to develop our vast energy reserves, deficit spending and so on. All these things, along with natural disasters and terrorist attacks and the like will help to lower the standard of living of this nation by destroying our economy and bringing an end to the easy life as we know it, which will cause us all great woe and cause\u2014at least some of us\u2014to cry out to our Creator for reason of our sufferings. A pessimistic outlook, you say? Yes, but this could actually be a good thing if it leads to spiritual revival, which is optimistic!<\/p>\n<p>It is my opinion that Obama and his crew will be the ones to help bring YHVH&#8217;s judgments upon this nation. And, to be sure, we, as a nation, deserve a sound thrashing at the hands of the Holy One of Israel for soundly rejecting him and his rule over us!<\/p>\n<p>When Obama was running for president against Hillary back in 2006 and 2007, it seemed certain that Hillary would win the Democratic Party&#8217;s nomination. After all, who was this Barack Obama, who had ever heard of him, and what were his credentials and what had he ever done to qualify to be the president? However, <strong>in 2007<\/strong> at Sukkot Northwest in Gold Beach, Oregon before a crowd of about 100 people, <strong>I predicted that Obama would win, since it fit the biblical pattern for YHVH&#8217;s judgment against America.<\/strong> At that time, I was teaching on Edom, and showing how YHVH historically had used Edom and its friends to punish the Israelites to bring them back to him. In Jewish thought to this day, Edom is a metaphor for any nation that YHVH will use to punish the Israelite people for their apostasy. Well, Edom is another way of saying <em>Islam<\/em>. Need I say any more about the connections between Obama and Islam? (For more on this subject, read my article entitled, &#8220;Is America in End-Times Bible Prophecy&#8221; which I published in 2007 (<a title=\"Is America in Bible Prophecy?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoshanarabbah.org\/pdfs\/america.pdf\">http:\/\/www.hoshanarabbah.org\/pdfs\/america.pdf<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>And now for the clincher<\/strong> that pretty well convinced me that Obama would be re-elected this time around.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember the famous Gog and Magog prophecy of Ezekiel 38 and 39?<\/strong> Many of us believe that this is an end-times Bible prophecy that is yet to be fulfilled, and which will occur just prior to the second coming. (For those astute prophecy students, another completely different Gog-Magog event occurs at the end of the Millennium, see Rev 20:7\u201310.) Well guess what? (drum role) In Ezekiel 38:2, <strong>the name <em>Obama<\/em> is spelled in Hebrew letters<\/strong> forward every seven letters starting with the Hebrew word <em>n&#8217;sey<\/em>, which ends in the letter aleph, which I assume in this case is silent. (If I am wrong on this, someone please correct me.) This last letter (ie.,\u00a0<em>aleph<\/em>) is the first letter of Obama&#8217;s name spelled in Hebrew (every seven letters) like this: <em>aleph, vav, bet, aleph, mem, heh<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Is this a Bible prophecy that Obama will be president during the Gog-Magog event, which is one of the precursor events to the return of Yeshua?
