<\/em>Barack Obama has gone and declared that those who are encouraging people to sign up for his healthcare law (often referred to as Obamacare) are doing God’s work:<\/p>\n

February 26, 2014<\/p>\n

Last night in Washington President Obama addressed the national meeting of Organizing for Action, the outfit formerly known as his re-election campaign. Young OFA volunteers have been redeployed to the task of persuading Americans to sign up for new health insurance plans created by the President’s Affordable Care Act<\/a>. Mr. Obama urged his young fans to sign up as many people as possible before this year’s March 31 enrollment deadline. “The work you’re doing is God’s work,” he said.<\/p>\n

The irony is particularly rich given that under a mandate issued under the Affordable Care Act<\/a>, Mr. Obama is still trying to force <\/a>the Little Sisters of the Poor to violate their religious beliefs. The Little Sisters are nuns who run a nonprofit nursing home and hospice and are resisting the government’s order to pay for birth control, which they oppose. http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/news\/articles\/SB10001424052702304255604579406603711286552?mg=reno64-wsj&url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052702304255604579406603711286552.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Touting the latest White House Obamacare benchmark, President Barack Obama told his political base not to be discouraged by partisan attacks and stressed that their cause is divine.<\/p>\n

Obama told OFA volunteers and officials. \u201cI can talk, my team can talk here in Washington, but it\u2019s not going to make as much of a difference as if you are out there making the case. The work you\u2019re doing is God\u2019s work. It is hard work.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 http:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2014\/02\/barack-obama-organizing-for-action-volunteers-103954.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As the picture at the beginning of this post demonstrates, some have seen Barack Obama in some type of messianic mode.\u00a0 While I do believe that Barack Obama is apocalyptic (see Prophecies of Barack Obama?<\/a> and\/or watch Barack Obama and the State of the Apocalypse<\/a>), I do not believe that his Administration is “doing God’s work,” which has to do with proclaiming Christ’s gospel of the kingdom to the world as a witness (Matthew 24:14), teaching people in all nations what Jesus has commanded (Matthew 28:19-20), and believing Jesus (John 6:29):<\/p>\n

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.\u00a0 (Matthew 24:14)<\/p>\n

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.\u00a0 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,\u00a0 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.\u00a0 (Matthew 28:18-20)<\/p>\n

29…This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent. (John 6:29)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Barack Obama, instead of teaching people to do what Jesus commanded, has made public statements condoning abortion, homosexuality, and celebrity pornography.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, with his healthcare agenda, he wants more access and funding for abortion, and does not seem to really care that many have religious views that are opposed to that.\u00a0 Thus, the primary way he seems to be contributing to ‘doing God’s work’ is taking steps that I consider to be apocalyptic (at least 17 of which are listed in my book Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States-Second Edition for Second Obama Term<\/a>).<\/p>\n

As far as what work the Church of God should be doing, this includes putting proper emphasis on public proclamation of Christ’s gospel of the Kingdom and teaching all to observe all things Jesus commanded.<\/p>\n

Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

Should the Church Still Try to Place its Top Priority on Proclaiming the Gospel or Did Herbert W. Armstrong Change that Priority for the Work?<\/a> Some say the Church should mainly feed the flock now as that is what Herbert W. Armstrong reportedly said. Is that what he said? Is that what the Bible says? What did Paul<\/a> and Herbert W. Armstrong<\/a> expect from lower level leaders?
\nThe Final Phase of the Work<\/a> What is the final phase of the work? Who will lead it? Do you have the courage to support it? Here is a related YouTube video titled The Final Phase of the Work. <\/a> The written article has been translated into Spanish La Fase Final de la Obra<\/a>.
\nLeading the Final Phase of the Work<\/a> Matthew 24:14 teaches “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come ” will be fulfilled and RCG is not the group doing this. Who is leading the final phase of the work? What did Herbert Armstrong and the old WCG teach about that and about prophets? Does Bob Thiel meet the criteria that the Bible and the old WCG set? What is the proof? What has the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> been doing?\u00a0 This is a sermonette length video.
\nJesus: The Son of God and Saviour<\/a> Who was Jesus? Why did He come to earth? What message did He bring? Is there evidence outside the Bible that He existed? Here is a YouTube sermon titled Jesus: Son of God and Saviour<\/a>.
\nAnglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel<\/a> Are the Americans, Canadians, English, Scottish, Welsh, Australians, Anglo-Saxon (non-Dutch) Southern Africans, and New Zealanders descendants of Joseph? Where are the lost ten-tribes of Israel? Who are the lost tribes of Israel? What will happen to Jerusalem and the Jews in Israel? Will God punish the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and other Anglo-Saxon nations? Why might God allow them to be punished first?

Two videos of possible interest may be Will Will USA Spying Help the Beast Power?<\/a> aand Barack Obama and the State of the Apocalypse<\/a>.
\nWill the Anglo-Saxon Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?<\/a> Will the lands of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand be divided? What about Jerusalem? What does Bible prophecy teach? Are there non-biblical prophecies that support this idea? Who will divide those lands? Who will end up with the lands and the people? Here is a link to a video titled Will the USA and other Anglo-nations be Divided and Their People Made Slaves? <\/a> Here is a related item in the Spanish language \u00bfSer\u00e1n divididas las naciones anglosajonas?<\/a>
\nDoes God Have a 6,000 Year Plan? What Year Does the 6,000 Years End?<\/a> Was a 6000 year time allowed for humans to rule followed by a literal thousand year reign of Christ on Earth taught by the early Christians? Does God have 7,000 year plan? What year may the six thousand years of human rule end? When will Jesus return? 2021 or 20xx? There is also a video titled The 6000 Year Plan: Is the end of humanity’s reign almost up?<\/a>
\nWhen Will the Great Tribulation Begin? 2014, 2015, or 2016?<\/a> Can the Great Tribulation begin today? What happens before the Great Tribulation in the “beginning of sorrows”? What happens in the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord? Is this the time of the Gentiles? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord? Who are the 144,000? Here is a version of the article in the Spanish language: \u00bfPuede comenzar la Gran Tribulaci\u00f3n en 2013 o 2014? \u00bfEs el Tiempo de los Gentiles?<\/a> You can also see the English language video The Great Tribulation Will Not Begin Before 2017<\/a>.
\nCross-dressing and other assaults against your children. <\/strong>What should you do?<\/a> Is there an agenda to turn your children and\/or grandchildren away from biblical morality and towards practices promoted by homosexuals?

There is also a YouTube video on this, titled Cross dressing and Other Assaults Against Your Children<\/a>.
\nThe Bible Condemns Homosexuality<\/a> “Same-sex marriage” for “gays” and lesbians is becoming more acceptable to many. What does the Bible teach about homosexuality? Can homosexuals change?
