President-elect Barack Obama is the Antichrist J. David McSwane Issue date: 11/10/08 According to thinkbabynames.com, "Rahm" means Ram, which means "pleasing" and "supreme." Emanuel in Hebrew, of course, translates "God is with us." He's clearly Satan's servant.
If Obama's the Antichrist, according the Revelation chapter 20 verse 10, he must have a false prophet. That's a no-brainer -- Oprah. Now I, as many of you did, drank the Obama punch, which incidentally tastes like those snazzy, foil-topped purple drinks that as children we all loved. Yes. I voted for Obama. And I didn't even have to give the voting booth clerk any change. Maybe it's nihilism that inspired me to -- quite ironically -- vote for the candidate I knew to be the AntiChrist. I mean, Armageddon sounds like a kick-ass party, and I really want to be invited. Or maybe it's the fact that if all the Christians suddenly disappeared in the Rapture, Fort Collins traffic wouldn't be so dreadful. Or there's always the fact that my job as a journalist would get really interesting. Anyway, this may come as a surprise to you, but I have read the Bible, and I attended a white, hate-breeding conservative private Christian school for most of my education (so did another staff columnist; I'll let you guess who). It's true. When it comes to contradictory and nonsensical interpretations of scripture in contemporary society and politics, I consider myself something of an authority. So when I say Obama is the Antichrist, I'm not just one of those racist nuts who read the "Left Behind" series and draws comparisons to fictional politician Nicolae Carpathia. Well, that's not entirely true. (Most of my evidence that Obama is the Antichrist comes from those novels (But I'm also told people don't read parenthetical information)). J.
