Bible Time
Barack Obama
Barack Obama has been all over the Bible Time charts, with interesting headlines of is own even when there have been more dramatic fulfillments at the "top of the charts." When Obama is sworn in on January 20, 2009, he will be replacing George Bush, who was the first of the end-times Pharaoh's.
The American system of government has several ingenious attributes. The first is that every so often the public is asked to select a new leader. The effect is that the built up hatred against the previous regime is cleared every 4 or 8 years. New Presidents, like Obama, come in with a clean slate and at least a 50% approval rating.
The system itself makes the dis-favored, departing President easily identified as a Pharaoh, but the new Pharaoh is much harder to dislike. At least 1/2 of the country usually has voted for the incoming leader. This was true of every president elected in my life time, likely all Presidents ever elected. But, in the end, they tend to spend that capital... and become less favored by the time they leave.
How do we know what to expect from President Obama? There are several key prophetic stories where Obama has already been on the Bible Time charts, both the Exodus Plagues, and simply day-for-a-year dates. From those dates, and the attendant Bible stories we can learn about the man and see what God has in store for his time in office.
President Obama is a deliverer, likely to rule over the country as many current forms of slavery are brought to an end. Obama also embodies a plague on Egypt itself, likely to rule over the end of much of Egypt as we all know it. If Obama remains in office long enough he may be around for the great plague on first born. What matters most right now is understanding the supporting Bible stories, because it is there that we see what God is up to with this president.
Setting Slaves Free
One of the most dramatic, and profound, headlines related to Barack Obama has been the response of Black Americans to his election. After Obama's acceptance speech, detailed below, Black communities in the United States erupted in jubilation. Barack's election has demonstrated that it is possible for a Black man to assume the most important office in the United States. Finally, a dream first articulated by President Kennedy 40 years before has come true.
The underlying message of Barack's election is that the slavery system of the United States is finally falling. Descendants of slaves can now rule the country as equals. This is the highest level Biblical message about the United States at this time. The slavery system practiced in the United States for the past (nearly) 400 years is now coming to an end.
For Black Americans it is an issue of race. Because of the history of race based slavery in the United States it requires a Black President to establish this idea in everyone's minds. Black Americans, still stigmatized by history are being set free of slavery.
There are, of course, various types of slavery. The racial slavery practiced in the United States until the Civil War is not the only form. Barack Obama looks set to preside over the ending of many, if not all, of the other slavery forms currently practiced across the land. Everyone who labors as a slave to a lender should look up, because redemption is drawing near.
Barack As Pharaoh
Barack Obama is also replacing George Bush as Pharaoh. This means that Obama is also a Pharaoh. Sufficient details supporting this idea are in Obama's acceptance speech. When Obama said that we would rebuild the country, "brick by brick" he was quoting ancient Pharaoh who made the point that he would increase the burden on the people, and require them to make bricks even without straw.
In the 2000 election there was much happiness in Christian circles that a Christian had been elected to the highest office of the land. Of course there is still lingering support for Bush from those same circles. But, the 8 years of Bush's term has shown he could work the Christian world for votes, but he was so poorly grounded that he rarely carried out his promises to the community.
I don't believe this is a failing of the man, but of the office and a similar effect will happen with Obama. Barack is the new Pharaoh, and he will uphold the needs of Pharaoh's Egypt at the expense of slaves until such time as God himself delivers the slaves. In no case was a deliverer of the slaves the same person ruling over them. Full deliverance comes from somewhere else.
Some of the key deliverance dates are within Obama's possible term in office, the first key date is in October, 2009, which we'll get to below. Some of the latter dates requires Obama to be elected for a second term, as he also mentioned in his acceptance speech.
Run For President
Obama's first appearance on the time line was on January 16, 2007 the prophetic replay of the Burning Bush. The theoretical time for that event was at 10:39 AM in Washington DC. At the start of the next hour, 11:00 AM that morning, Obama held a conference call with his financial supporters, forming his "White House exploratory committee." On the call he announced that he would be formally announcing his candidacy for President of the United States on February 10, 2007. Details are on Lynn Sweet's Blog.
The timing is exquisite, as close as possible to the theoretical time given a whole hour for the fulfillment event. (The time of day for fulfillments are usually set as a nominal sunset in Jerusalem, the break to a new calendar day.)
That same morning the US capital building was evacuated over a bomb scare and the newly elected General Secretary of the United Nations was in Washington DC for his first formal visit to the White House and President Bush. The visit by Moses to the Bush in the Burning Bush story was fulfilled by Ban Ki Moon's visit to Bush.
That meeting between Ban Ki Moon and George Bush marks the warm-up meeting for the start of the plagues on Egypt. A later prophetic date would back date this as the first appearance of Moses before Pharaoh, and thus it identified Bush as the first of Egypt's Pharaohs.
In the Burning Bush story, Moses had to remove his sandals, and the evacuation of the capital building is part of that story. Interesting that the members of the United States Congress were "sent home" and there is some chance that the Congress itself will be sent home before this plague series is completely over. Taking off sandals is like "kicking off your shoes" when you get home. The 2 concepts match.
Barack Obama's announcement of his candidacy to replace Bush at the very theoretical time for the events that day plays to the idea that Pharaoh is on his way out. The new Pharaoh announced that he was on his way in.
Jeremiah Wright
On March 11, 2008, the Exodus Plagues series passed the date for the "Plague of Frogs." On this date the Bible's Text says that a Plague of Frogs will come upon Egypt, even so far as to Pharaoh's own bed.
Pharaoh's bed is of course in the private living quarters of the White House in Washington DC. What we expect to see in the headlines at this date is either a frog plague directly into that bedroom, or a trajectory that gets started which will eventually end in Pharaoh's bed.
In previous fulfillments this trajectory pattern was also seen. Ban Ki Moon invited Pope Benedict to the United Nations on a replay of a meeting between the men, but the complete fulfillment was 1 year later. This same pattern began on March 11, and the trajectory was set for Barack to eventually sleep in Pharaoh's bed. It happened with Jeremiah Wright, Obama's Pastor.
ABC News, a Disney company, selected a series of sound bites from Jeremiah Wright's previous sermons. By airing those sermons on national TV, on March 13, just after theoretical for this plague, Disney was in effect plaguing Obama himself. As a future Pharaoh, being a target of a plague is expected.
Obama had a bad week figuring out how to answer Disney. At first he distanced himself from the comments, but not from the church community that supported Wright. 8,500 members still agreed with Wright, no matter what Disney might say.
By this linkage Obama established that he, too, was a frog, the same thing that was plaguing his campaign. The frog, in the plague narrative, was sent by God to plague Pharaoh, and Wright was that agent. Obama initially remained affiliated with the church in order to demonstrate an alignment with (or as) this frog.
After several days, the political heat was getting... well, hot, so the frog had to jump from the pot. In a well regarded speech on March 18, Obama fully disconnected from Wright, which endeared Obama to the secular, liberal, voting blocks across the country that see themselves as having come out of church. The strategy had been predicted a year before by Wright, and was executed brilliantly. Hillary would never recover and Obama was headed for the White House bedroom.
Berlin Rally
In Late July, 2008, Obama traveled to the middle east and then made a campaign stop in Berlin on his way home. This was a double-fold to the 1936 Olympics held in Berlin. That the cities exactly matched drew time line attention. Obama, seen in athletic garb earlier in the day, hosted a massive rally, with 200,000 in attendance.
This was an odd sight, with many wondering why Obama was in Berlin at all, and why he was calling such a large gathering of people.
The Bible text for the 1936 Olympics is related to historical replay of the Via Dolorosa. Specifically, when the black man from Africa carried the cross of Jesus. Jesse Owens was the star black man in 1936, and was the replay of that black man from Africa.
In 1936 Hitler was the exact timed replay of Christ (as anti-Christ) and in time was headed for a later Nuremberg rally that replayed Golgotha. Hitler's death also matched Jesus' death, as anti-Christ would need to do. In general Obama does not map to any of Hitler's other dates. But, there is still some questions about Obama's Berlin visit.
Barack Obama is either replaying the black athlete, Jesse Owens, carrying the cross of Christ, or Obama is replaying the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games general host. Which match should be applied cannot yet be determined. Time will tell.
Arab Connections
Beginning on May 10, 2008, and ending September 7, 2008, the Exodus Plague narrative began and ended the Plague of Arabs. This time saw 2 more headlines related to Obama, especially dealing with lingering doubts as to his faith.
The plague itself is popularly known as the Plague of Flies but the key term, flies, was added by the English translators in 1610. The underlying Hebrew word in this plague is normally simply translated as Arab, sometimes translated swarm, as in a storm that has an eye, like whirlwind, tornado or hurricane. The simplest way this plague could be translated is as the Plague of Arabs.
On the first date of this period the sitting Pharaoh, George Bush, married into his own family a gentleman by the name of Hager. This is of course the same name as Hagar, the mother of Ishmael, the father of all the Arabs. It was a home run fulfillment followed a few days later when Bush traveled to Saudi Arabia.
Future Pharaoh, Barack Obama, was also in trouble over Arabs, probably even more seriously than George Bush. An Obama advisor, Rob Malley, who had conversations with Hamas had to resign. Obama had apparently sent the man for talks Hamas, which were found out, so the resignation was called for. Obama had such strong support from the media that full details were never released.
At the end of this plague period, on Sunday, September 7, 2008 while on ABC, Disney's network, Obama had a slip of the tongue about his Muslim Faith. He was corrected by the host, but the damage was done.
Muslim Faith is the religion of the Arabs, so this was an exact match directly from Obama's own mouth, at essentially the expected hour for the plague. Lost to the general public, but well understood in Christian circles, nobody with a genuine Christian Faith, would use the expression Muslim Faith enough for it to be a possible slip. Obama was revealing childhood training where he had been enrolled as a Muslim in Muslim schools.
Like the plague of frogs, the plague of Arabs also includes the line that the plague will reach all the way into Pharaoh's house. How and when? By the same process as the plague of frogs. The self-revealed Arab, President Obama, eventually takes over as Pharaoh and as an Arab, sleeps in Pharaoh's own bed.
Election Victory
The acceptance speech is revealing. Reproduced here in full. I've marked the places where Obama particularly speaks to his place in history as a replacement of Pharaoh. Notes on those follow below.
Obama's Acceptance Speech,
Chicago
November 4, 2008
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the ❶ arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.
I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation's next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House. And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics - you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you.
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington - it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.❷
It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth.❸ This is your victory.
I know you didn't do this just to win an election and I know you didn't do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America - I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you - we as a people will get there.
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years - block by block, brick by brick,❹ calloused hand by calloused hand.
What began twenty-one months ago❺ in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek - it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you.
So let us summon a new spirit❻ of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers - in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.
Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state❼ who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House - a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, "We are not enemies, but friends...though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection." And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn - I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world - our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down - we will defeat you.❽ To those who seek peace and security - we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.
For that is the true genius of America - that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing - Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.❾
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.
America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:
Yes We Can.❿ Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.
Notes On Obama's Speech
❶ Bending the "arc of history" is fundamental to the idea that man and not God is in control of history itself. Not so. The procession of prophetic dates demonstrates that God has the history of mankind in his hand.
❷ Barack Obama's campaign was "hatched" in heaven. It was ordained from the beginning of the world. It was documented at the time of the Exodus from Egypt almost 3500 years before.
❸ "Perishing from the earth" is a theme that shows up several times in the speech. The issue is the Biblical purpose for Egypt to be raised up. This is also a quote from Lincoln, who is not only from Illinois, but plays to the October 2009 Plague on Firstborn.
❹ "Brick by brick" is a direct quote from the opening shot of the Exodus Plagues series. Not only would Pharaoh not let the people go, he was to make the work of making bricks even harder. Continuing to make bricks without straw is Pharaoh's own words for the increase of slavery on the people.
❺ The timing was exquisite, but only for the private telephone conference call, which was within 20 minutes of theoretical for the start of the plagues series itself, and for the call to carry out those plagues.
❻ "Summon a new spirit" is a direct quote of King Saul of ancient Israel. The 911 event was a replay of Saul, and Saul was the only king to directly summon spirits. Obama is the first new king since Saul, and his is the embodiment of this new spirit.
❼ "A man from this state" is a veiled reference to Abraham Lincoln. At one level the President that set the slaves free, another Pharaoh reference and an indication of what will happen in Obama's term. The more important point here is Lincoln's presidency was a time of unprecedented bloodshed in US history, a point in history that replays in October, 2009, with the "Plague on First Born."
❽ "Tear this world down" is at one level a threat against terrorists. At another level, though, it is against God himself who raised up Egypt for the purpose of tearing it down. It is God, after all, who remains sovereign over the affairs of nations. By this threat Obama mocks God.
❾ "106 years old" is a reference to the flow of history. 105 years is period of 3.5 "times" and by using this example Obama is referencing the flow of history. The years that Obama calls out in his speech replay across late 2009 and early 2010. Chances are he is calling out specific headlines that will matter in replay form later in his presidency.
❿ The "Yes we can" creed is very common for Secular Humanists who believe man is in charge and not God. He started with this theme and he ended with it.
January 20, 2009
Barack Obama will be sworn in on January 20, 2009. This date folds through the simple day-for-a-year replay to the summer of 1605. 9:30 AM on the East Coast of the United States folds through to late July, 1605. (Those with Java Bible Time Charts should see page 159 at the very top.)
The match to the original colonization of North America is amazing. Something about this presidency is an encapsulation of the entire time that America has existed as a nation.
A search of the Wikipedia for events in the middle of 1605 brings up 1 important match. Tzar Dimitri was crowned late July of 1605 and is know as False Dimitri or Dimitri the Pretender. There are few other important headlines in the entire year, and no other key coronations to match. This time match is strong biblical support for the idea that Obama is a pretender.
There have been as many as 8 court cases in the United States asking for a declaration that Obama is, or is not, qualified to hold the office of the President of the United States. Many believe he does not qualify, his paternal grandmother has said she was in the room when Obama was born in Kenya in 1961. Even if this is not true, Obama's mother's move to Indonesia when Obama was young can also have disqualified him from the office of President. Though no court has ruled on the matter formally, the time line suggest that Obama is like Dimitri, and is not legally, constitutionally, qualified to be president. He is a Pretender. His term in office will be like Dimitri's, well supported politically, but not valid technically.
This explains the nature of the Bible's plague text, that Pharaoh's bed, as defined formally by the US Constitution, will be plagued when Obama takes office. A non-qualified pretender takes over. This also explains the choice of language and literary structure of Plague narrative. God was so angry with Pharaoh that Pharaoh was replaced and the replacement Pharaoh carried out some of the rest of the plagues.
Lincoln
Obama is from Illinois, just like President Lincoln. Like Lincoln, Obama is in a way setting the slaves free. This was seen clearly on election night. Lincoln took the first step at this and now over 140 years later, Obama is doing the rest.
Obama has been studying Lincoln, quoting him extensively in speeches. Lincoln is remembered for setting the slaves free and that is also where we are now in Egyptian history. All slaves of Egypt are being set free.
The link to Lincoln, though, is deeper. In early October, 2009, the Exodus Plagues time line replays the first replay of the Plague on First Born. This is also the day-for-a-year replay of the United States Civil War.
Obama is studying Lincoln, because part of Obama's place in history is to preside over the United States as it goes through some sort of limited replay of Lincoln's time in office, and for several days it will replay that terrible time in United States history.
Comments
Obama is the most interesting candidate to come around in a long time. There will surely be more to say about him. Will update this page as headlines warrant.
