Yesterday, I watched C-Span's pre-inaugural call-in show for about 15 minutes. It was all I could stand. The "pro-BHO" calls, newspaper articles, tweets etc. were running about 4-1 in favor of BHO compared to those presented in opposition. I shouldn't be surprised. Just like the rest of the media of mass corruption, C-Span had long ago been taken over by the Commies!
One Republican caller stated that he would be cleaning out his attic instead of watching the spectacle of Marxist blathering that would be going on at the event. Ha! Time well spent!
I didn't listen to BHO's speech, but this morning, Fox News had a few clips and there was so much divisiveness in it! It shows that the masquerade that BHO presented to the OBorgBots is no longer needed. He can reveal his true evil self now. Once again, it made me grieve for our nation.
Newsweek had a cover of a profile of BHO with "the second coming" written underneath.
Know what?
The BHO admiration society lemmings may not realize it now; but they just don't get how much more awful their destiny is about to become under the coming tyranny.
Believing that BHO is a "messiah" is so laughable. It is also very creepy! Most thinking people who haven't been hypnotized by this fraud already know what a
communist and radical Islamist sympathizer he is!!
I haven't read the article that accompanies the Newsweek cover with BHO on it. However, I do think that the reference to the "second coming" of BHO (if compared to Jesus Christ) contains a not-so-hidden message from the far left lunatics that could be considered to be quite scary.
While reading a devotional this morning, a connection was made by me.
As Christian believers we "groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body" (See Romans 8:23)
This place is not our home.
Jesus told us that "in this world we will have trouble." We are strangers in a strange land, and the closer we get to the end times the more evident this becomes.
When we go back into the Old Testament, prophets had the pieces to the prophetic puzzle but they didn't always see the completed picture like Bible believing and studying Christians can, and do.
For example, when Jesus quoted from the book of Isaiah 61:1-2 in the synagogue in Nazareth (Luke 4:16-19), He quoted all the passage except the part about "the day of vengeance of our God" since that would be fulfilled at His Second Coming, not His first. Isaiah saw both parts of the Messiah's ministry--good news and judgment--but didn't see the separation between the two.
Fortunately, we have the advantage of hindsight of both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible that gives us the completed picture.
The full circle, if you will, of Jesus Christ is that He was first born into this world to give us a life that's forgiven, and raised to give us a life that's forever.
His body was sown perishable, but was raised imperishable.
It was sown in dishonor, but was raised in glory.
It was sown in weakness but raised in power.
I would venture to say that BHO's first political "coming" as pResident in 2008 was the complete opposite.
He was born to eventually be ushered in as a tyrannical leader and give America a life that's divisive between white vs. black, rich vs. poor, Christian vs. Muslim, Jewish vs. Muslim, liberal vs. conservative, moral vs. immoral, and ultimately extremely harmful towards what our Founders envisioned. His political "second coming" will be more of the same, but even worse! The vengeance of BHO (which was a favorite topic in his campaign speeches) against Americans he disagrees with has not even begun!
BHO is virulently destructive to our U.S. Constitution. He tramples upon it and disregards the fact that our nation was born as a Judeo/Christian one; and our Declaration of Independence was written as a result of the Founders desire to follow the Ten Commandments in the Bible.
If the left wants to think of BHO as their "messiah," how terribly disappointed they will be when they finally realize that BHO's body, mind, soul, and spirit was sown perishable (and remains that way unless he repents of his sins and turns from his reprobate mindset) and his ideology is "nothing new under the sun" but a throw-back to
tyrants of death from history. He will use them, then dispose of them when their useful-idiot status is no longer needed.
BHO was raised into the political world in secular humanistic "glory" (which never lasts) but will one day be sown in eternal dishonor.
BHO appears to have been raised into the political world of secular humanism in power, but will one day be sown into an ultimate, never-ending hell of weakness.
BHO will inevitably one day be raised imperishable in order to face judgment. The trouble is, without genuine belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, BHO will join all of those who out rightly reject Jesus Christ and will appear at the White Throne Judgment. It is a judgment where each sinner who has died has done so with their own sins on their soul. Spending eternity in separation from God leaves a person vulnerable to the pain of experiencing death that never ends.
Recall the story of Lazarus and the rich king.
Only the born again believers in Christ will face the Judgment Seat of Christ and be able to say that belief in Christ's sacrificial death and His forgiveness for their sins has saved them from the judgment of eternal hell fire.
Because of Christ's sacrifice, we can claim the words of the hymnist as our own:
"Living, He loved me; dying He saved me; buried He carried my sins far away; rising He justified freely forever; one day He's coming--O glorious day" (Wilber Chapman, 1908).
In another prophetic portion of Scripture from the Old Testament, we read in Numbers 24:17 -
I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; a Star shall come out of Jacob; a Scepter shall rise out of Israel...
Dr. David Jeremiah writes:
Jesus is called a "Star" three times in Scripture. In Numbers 24, Balaam predicted a Messiah in the far future, rising like a star from the descendants of Jacob. Second Peter 1:19 talks about the Morning Star rising in our hearts. And in Revelation 22:16, Jesus called Himself "the Bright and Morning Star."
In astronomy, the bright and morning star is not literally a star, but the planet Venus that appears in the eastern sky just before dawn and is one of the brightest objects in the sky. The sight of this "star" is a sign that night is nearly over.
It's symbolic of Christ. The dark epoch of earth's history is nearly past. Soon the Lord will rise from His throne like the Star of Morning, ushering in an eternal day for His children. Just as He came the first time, so He will come again. And we "do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your heart" (2 Peter 1:19).

As I was writing this post, I heard about this:
Most brilliant speech writer ever uses “peace in our time” in his historic world-changing speech
I missed this when reading Obama’s inaugural speech (still haven’t listened to it). I just heard Jonah Goldberg make reference to it on Special Report with Bret Baier. Via Tom Ricks at Foreign Policy Blog, Obama’s 2nd inaugural address: ‘Peace in our time’? Really, Mr. President? The WTF moment for me in Obama’s second inaugural address, [...]
Neville Chamberlain??? Anyone???

As soon as the president began his inaugural address yesterday with a nod to the Constitution, I actually said aloud, “Uh-oh.” Each time we gather to inaugurate a President we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution…. As feared, the speech devolved into a laundry list of leftist initiatives disguised as Constitutional obligations [...]
