Palin in 2012?

Sarah Palin, Former Vice Presidential Nominee

Sarah Palin claims that she would beat US President Barack Obama if she ran against him in 2012. USA Today reported the following this morning:

Palin says she can beat Obama

Republicans are talking openly about President Obama’s vulnerability for re-election in 2012, and one of them is Sarah Palin.

When ABC’s Barbara Walters asked the former Alaska governor, “if you ran for president, could you beat Barack Obama?,” Palin replied: “I believe so.” http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2010/11/palin-says-she-can-beat-obama/1

Since those of us in groups like the Living Church of God do not vote in these elections, why am I mentioning the possibility of a woman president?

If she runs and wins (which is not a certainty, as she also said in another part of that article), she will partially fulfill a prophecy in Isaiah 3:12:

As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths…

Of course, women are influential in the English-speaking nations and it is not absolutely required that the USA itself have a woman president, but I do feel that if we do get one, that this will be a partial, but significant, fulfillment of that prophecy. Having Hillary Clinton currently as Secretary of State, as well as Condoleezza Rice previously, also point to that prophecy.

Both biblical and Roman Catholic prophecies indicate the destruction of the English-speaking peoples and I would not be surprised if a major attack by the European Beast power will occur during a female presidency.

Is Sarah Palin the Antichrist? According to the Bible, no she cannot be (the reasons and scriptures are given in my previous post Barack Obama is Not the Antichrist, nor is Joe Biden, Democratic vice president).

As far as Sarah Palin goes, her religious views most likely will affect her political decisions. And she believes in things like a pre-tribulation rapture (see Might Sarah Palin Fulfill Prophecy?). And since there is no pre-tribulation rapture (please see Is There A Secret Rapture for the Church? When and Where is the Church Protected?), she may make some decisions based upon biblical misinterpretation.

We seem to be in turbulent times, whether she runs or not.

Jesus said,

37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch! (Mark 13:37).

Prophecies of Barack Obama? This article has eight reasons why Barack Obama is apocalyptic and eight reasons why Barack Obama is not the Antichrist.

This is the longest and most complete article at the COGwriter website on Barack Obama prophecies. Read it and decide for yourself if President Obama seems to be fulfilling various prophecies.
