Obama Called ‘Lord and Savior’; Why Iran May be Happy With Re-Election

A celebrity made a blasphemous statement about USA President Obama:

November 26, 2012

Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx recently called Barack Obama “our lord and savior.”

This occurred at the previously recorded Soul Train Awards broadcast on BET Sunday…http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/11/26/jamie-foxx-calls-obama-our-lord-and-savior#ixzz2DKou43ep

Hopefully, Jamie Foxx will say that he was not really serious about that. Truly those at BET are aware that Barack Obama is not our “lord and savior.” 24 of the 24 times (NKJV) the New Testament uses the term “savior” it is a direct reference to God and/or Jesus Christ. While in a sense Barack Obama is a political lord, combining that word with “savior” is inappropriate, and in my view blasphemous (the Bible combines the two terms for Jesus the Christ, see for example, Luke 2:11).

And, of course, Barack Obama is NOT some type of messiah (the above photo was put together several years ago and was popular for a time on internet; see Obama Crowned as Messiah?). Nor, as some at the other extreme believe, the final Antichrist.

But, because of his timing, background, and policies, Barack Obama is apocalyptic and will help enable the rise of the King of the North and the King of the South, and hence the destruction of the United States.

Iran, who probably has a lot of reason to fear Barack Obama, is apparently pleased that he was re-elected:

KAHLILI: Iran thrilled over Obama re-election

Smooth sailing ahead for nuclear ambitions

In his first news conference after re-election, President Obama said there was still time for a diplomatic solution on Iran’s nuclear program and that Iran could enjoy “peaceful nuclear power” if it meets international obligations.

Diplomacy has failed and international sanctions, though having some effect, have not persuaded the radicals ruling Iran to stop their illicit nuclear program. The economic screws must be tightened.

Iranian leaders did not hide their satisfaction in Mr. Obama’s re-election and the prospect of more negotiations, which, in their view, will buy them more time to develop nuclear weapons…

And while Mitt Romney may have been a tougher one for Iran to deal with, Iran is making a mistake if it feels that getting Barack Obama in office ultimately will be good for it. Believing that will be an error–the current government of Iran will change and/or be at least partially neutralized and Barack Obama may well play a part in that.

Now there is another reason that Iran probably was pleased with Barack Obama]s re-election, years ago Iran posted a prophetic item that seemed to point to Barack Obama and has made other statements that he could be involved in. Here is some of what I included of them in my book Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States:

According to a commentary by Amir Taheri in Forbes, there is an amazing old Shi’ite prophecy that some in Iran believe seems to fit Barack Hussein Obama personally:

Is Barack Obama the “promised warrior” coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?

…a pro-government Web site published a Hadith (or tradition) from a Shiite text of the 17th century. The tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar (meaning Oceans of Light) by Mullah Majlisi, a magnum opus in 132 volumes and the basis of modern Shiite Islam.

According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet’s cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a “tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West.” Commanding “the strongest army on earth,” the new ruler in the West will carry “a clear sign” from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: “Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us.”

In a curious coincidence Obama’s first and second names–Barack Hussein–mean “the blessing of Hussein” in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means “he is with us,” the magic formula in Majlisi’s tradition.

Because we are near the end of times and Barack Hussein Obama is considered to be black and he is now the new “ruler in the West“ and he does lead the “strongest army on earth,“ it makes sense that certain Shi’ite Muslims believe that he may fit that Islamic prophecy. Apparently this prediction shows that some type of deal is made between the Mahdi (Arabic for “the guided one“) and the West.

Is any of that specific to Barack Obama?

It is difficult to know for certain, other than to say that some Shi’ites seem to believe their writings have alluded to Barack Hussein Obama in prophecy…

Apparently in March 2011, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad approved a video that quotes someone as saying this Imam Mahdi leader arrives after a time of great earthquakes and sedition. It says that, according to the Hadith, Iran is to be among the “preparers” for the arrival of the Imam. It blames the U.S.A. and its allies for causing Islamic fear-mongering since 9/11/2001. The video indicates that Islamic writings have warned that westerners would invade the Middle East first; it suggests that Iraq and other western military interventions are proof that the Imam Mahdi is about to appear. It tells that a time of Arab/Islamic cooperation is prophesied, while also claiming that annihilation of the “Zionist regime” needs to happen prior to the arrival of the Mahdi…

It also essentially tries to explain who is Seyed Khorasani (the current top leader of Iran). It also says that 72 months prior to the arrival of the Imam Mahdi that Seyed Khorasani will appoint Shoeib to assist. It then asks if “Doctor” Ahmadinejad could be the Shoeib. It shows Ahmadinejad making various speeches and discusses him taking over Jerusalem in the future–and prior to the arrival of the Imam Mahdi. It basically ends with stating that the Imam Mahdi will rise up soon and that all should praise God with Jihad.

In earlier speeches, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has suggested that the Imam Mahdi would rise up prior to him leaving his office, as preparing the way for him is supposedly his mission. (Thiel, B, Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States. Nazarene Books, ed.1.1, 2012, pp. 18-19, 23,24)

The Shi’ite understanding of the Imam Mahdi is that he will support Iran and help Iran defeat the USA and takeover the world.

Yet, since the “Imam Mahdi” has not made his public appearance (Iran has claimed he exists now in the background and orchestrated items like the ‘Arab Spring’), Iran’s President would probably prefer that Barack Obama be in office longer to give Iran more time to support its domineering objectives.

Despite what some may say or hope, while Barack Obama is a political, lower-case, lord, he is not the USA’s nor Iran’s savior.
