LCG: EU Giddy over Obama

Barack Obama

Europeans Giddy Over Obama Election. Europeans “partied in the streets” of Brussels all night on Tuesday in anticipation of a Barak Obama election victory. Some likened Mr. Obama to an “American Sarkozy.” Using a phrase from Franklin D. Roosevelt, European Commission President Barroso optimistically observed, “We need a new deal for a new world. I sincerely hope that with the leadership of President Obama, the United States of America will join forces with Europe to drive this new deal.” Europeans are optimistic and desirous for the U.S. to move back into a light in which it can once again be admired and respected. The comments from one election party celebrant in Brussels highlight both the optimism and uncertainty felt by some Europeans, “All of Europe is behind Obama. He’s going to bring back some of the good things we think of about America,” he said. “People here see him as a kind of European, but he’s an American really, and a politician. Democrats have started wars as well” (EU Observer, November 5, 2008). In the last ten years, it has been the nations that sacrificed their uniqueness and sovereignty which have become members of the “inner circle” in Europe. God warns that the Israelite-descended nations will one day be taken into captivity by a European Beast Power (Leviticus 26:31-33, Lamentations 5:1-5)… God will work His will and we must continue to watch.

In all of my years watching USA presidential elections, I have never seen the media, the world in general, and the Europeans in particular so enthralled over a USA president-elect.

The world, American, and media expectations are putting more pressure on the future president than he deserves to have.

Barack Obama has a very difficult job, but probably will appear on the surface to be handling it, as the end (meaning the beginning of the Great Tribulation) is not likely to start before 2013 (as it cannot possibly start before 2012, per Daniel 9:27).

Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States Some claim that Barack Obama is the prophesied “son of Kenya”. Might Bible prophecy be fulfilled since he is to be the USA president?
Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel Are the Americans, Canadians, British, Scottish, Welsh, Australians, Anglo-Southern Africans, and New Zealanders descendants of Joseph? Where are the lost ten-tribes of Israel? Who are the lost tribes of Israel? Will God punish the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and other Anglo nations? Why might God allow them to be punished first?
Barack Obama is Not the Antichrist Some have suggested that he may be, but he cannot be. Find out why.
Europa, the Beast, and Revelation Where did Europe get its name? What might Europe have to do with the Book of Revelation? What about “the Beast”? What is ahead for Europe?
Who is the King of the North? Is there one? Do biblical and Roman Catholic prophecies point to the same leader? Should he be followed? Who will be the King of the North discussed in Daniel 11? Is a nuclear attack prophesied to happen to the English-speaking peoples of the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand? When do the 1335 days, 1290 days, and 1260 days (the time, times, and half a time) of Daniel 12 begin? When does the Bible show that economic collapse will affect the United States?
Two Horned Beast of Revelation and 666 This article explains how the LCG views this, and compares this to Ellen White. Barack Obama is NOT 666.
End of Mayan Calendar 2012–Might 2012 Mean Something? There is a Mayan calendar prediction for change in 2012. 2012 changes were also centuries ago predicted by the Hopi Native Americans (the Hindus may have some predictions for the next decade as well). Do these Mayan/Hindu/Hopi prophecies have any value? Why might Satan have inspired this date? Does the Dresden codex show destruction of the earth by flood? Can the great tribulation start before 2012?
Can the Great Tribulation Begin in 2009, 2010, or 2011? Can the Great Tribulation begin today? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord?
