Since I believe the Bible is the inspired world of God, it has always been a certainty that
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 would be fulfilled but, as in the area of HOW it would come to be fulfilled, I have had a real wondering of the METHODS God would employ to bring it to prophetic fruition. I confess it never crossed my mind before Obama began his meteoric rise in the Iowa primary, that one day America would have a President with the full name of Barack Hussein Obama. I do not mean to insinuate or infer in any way I believe he is a Muslim, or that he is in a conspiracy with the forces of Islamic Jihad, but I do believe he may be used as one of the major elements in the fulfillment of I Thessalonians 5:3,4. I do not mean to infer it will be a willful, deliberate act on his part to cause Israel to experience “sudden destruction,” but I am now convinced his belief he can bring peace to the Middle East, is going to cause America to be just as surprised as Israel when “sudden destruction” roars south out of Syria, probably at some point in time between 2010 and 2015.
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
I really believe Obama is just as his supporters say, “a really nice guy,” and that is not “sour grapes” on my part because he was elected. My primary reason for voting against him had nothing to do with his ethnic background. I voted against him because of his track record on two major issues, abortion and same sex marriages, and his far left views I believe will turn this country to socialism.
During his term in office you will see the Islamic world seem to respond to his efforts to bring peace to the Middle East, and they will dialog him continuously to ‘butter him” up, while all the time they plan diligently to being “sudden destruction” upon Israel from the north. It will not only lull America into believing he has repaired the damage done by “monster” Bush, but it will lull Israel and the world into believing it is possible to have an era of “Peace and safety.”
So, for those of you down in the dumps about Obama’s election, there is a very, very, very, very, bright spot in all this – although we cannot know the precise time of the arrival of our King from heaven to catch us out of this mess on earth, Obama’s stated plans of how to deal with the Middle East problem assures me Christ’s coming is near. Messiah will deal quite differently with the Middle East Islamic Belief Problem on his Second Advent. The basic Islamic Belief Problem is that they don’t believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and they have a lot of company.
Psalm 2:1-7 – Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? [2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, [3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. [4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. [5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. [6] Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. [7] I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
II Thessalonians 2:8-12 –And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not
the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Jude 1:14,15 – And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, [15] To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
It is, of course, possible that Obama may be assassinated, but I certainly hope not, and I will pray for him as my President. If he should be, it would shake this nation into race riots like it never dreamed possible, and, in our state of mass confusion, open the door for Islam to carry out its stated plan for the sudden destruction of Israel. So, whatever does happen, I Thessalonians 5:3,4 is going to be fulfilled whe ther
the world likes it or not.

Abu Hussein’s invitation to Damascus
By Sami Moubayed
DAMASCUS – In the Muslim world, men take pride in their first born baby boy and they are often called “the father of X” for the remainder of their lives. In turn, first born boys are named after their grandfathers, and this explains why Syrians affectionately call Barack Obama “Abu Hussein” (father of Hussein).
He does not have a baby boy – just two beautiful girls – yet that doesn’t really matter for the overwhelmed Syrians who woke up to hear the news coming in from Washington on November 5 that Barack Hussein Obama had become the 44th president of the United States.
As far as they are concerned, his father’s name is Hussein and when Obama gets a baby boy, he is going to call him Hussein.
That is the tradition in the Muslim world after all, and Obama comes from Muslim lineage in Kenya. Gamal Abdul-Nasser of Egypt was “Abu Khaled”, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is “Abu Hadi”, Palestinian Liberation Organization head Yasser Arafat was “Abu Ammar” and for masses in the Arab world, Barack Obama is “Abu Hussein”.
This terminology was coined by ordinary Syrians who watched the presidential race with enthusiasm – glad to see the end of President George W Bush.
All the same, Syrians have no illusions that the president-elect is going to be a savior for the Arabs.
They hope that he will be more fair and even-handed when it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict, and end the tension that started between Damascus and Washington under the Bush administration.
They realize, however, that his election shows just how far America has come in terms of racial equality, and everybody in Damascus – young and old – is impressed.
In August, hosted by an American organization called Search for Common Ground, three Syrians went to Washington and met with think-tanks, newspapers and loyalists of Obama, discussing ways to move bilateral relations forward once Bush leaves the White House.
For the past 12 months, Damascus has welcomed a wide array of US officials who are either members of the Obama team or supporters of the new president. All of them came carrying a similar message: The policy of no dialogue with Damascus under Bush has been unproductive for the region and the United States. That is going to change, they said, when Obama reaches the White House.
All of them were warmly received by the Syrians, at a popular and official level, including former ambassador Daniel Kurtzer and former national security advisor under president Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski.
The latter even spoke to students at one of the new private universities in Syria, who applauded strongly whenever he mentioned “President Obama”.

Syrian TV air militants’ confessions
7 Nov 2008, 1147 hrs IST, AP
DAMASCUS: Syrian state television has broadcast purported “confessions” of suspected Islamic militants claiming they had carried out a Damascus car bombing in September that killed 17 people.
Ten men and one woman, said to be members of the al-Qaida-inspired Fatah Islam group, were shown on TV late last night, making statements.
One of the men in the broadcast said the fugitive Fatah Islam leader Shaker al-Absi had made his way into Syria from Lebanon but hasn’t been heard of since July.
It wasn’t clear when or how the suspects were arrested.
The unusual broadcast reflected efforts by Syrian authorities to portray their country also as victim of al-Qaida-linked militants that the government is trying to crack down on.
The United States has accused Syria of not doing enough to curb the transit of militant fighters across its borders and into Iraq. A US helicopter raid late October into Syria near Iraq’s border targeted what US officials said was a militant leader there.
Damascus maintained eight civilians were killed and retaliated by ordering the US cultural centre and an American school in Damascus closed.
Syria’s secular government has already accused militants of carrying out the rare Damascus bombing, but this was the first time Fatah Islam was blamed.
The group has been active in neighbouring Lebanon, where it fought the army in 2007. During those battles, the Lebanese military crushed the al-Qaida-inspired group, killing hundreds at a Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon where the militants had hunkered down.
