False Messiahs

Whose Lord and Savior?

To actor Jamie Foxx, Barack Obama is that very special person. So special in fact that the award winning actor boldly described Obama as his "Lord and Savior" at a recent Soul Train awards event. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/11/26/jamie-foxx-calls-obama-our-lord-and-savior#ixzz2DKou43ep

However, over in Eastern Europe, they're not so fond of America's 44th president. From Xavier Lerma of pravda.ru: "Recently, Obama has been re-elected for a 2nd term by an illiterate society and he is ready to continue his lies of less taxes while he raises them. He gives speeches of peace and love in the world while he promotes wars as he did in Egypt, Libya and Syria. He plans his next war with Iran as he fires or demotes his generals who get in the way."

Lerma may be referring to the recent "resignation" of Gen. David Petraeus who stepped down as the Director of the CIA after his marital infidelities surfaced and became public. There was a large consensus that the discovery of Petraeus's philandering had less to do with his resignation and more to do with preventing his testimony regarding what he knew about the September 11, terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya that Obama and his media sycophants initially blamed on some crude internet video.

Petraeus eventually did testify before the Senate and House intelligent committees and he revealed that the CIA knew early on that the 9-11 Benghazi attack was related to al Qaeda and not to some internet video that insulted Islam. If that's true then Obama lied to Americans with his internet video excuse that he continued to peddle two weeks after the incident. Nevertheless, not only did America's corrupt media fail to raise much of a stink concerning Obama's mendacity, neither did the American public. That lends credibility to Lerma's assertion that many American voters probably didn't pass much more than gas in school.

It's not known whether Foxx passed more than gas when he attended school. But what is known is that Foxx, like an increasing number of Lerma's illiterate Americans, is worshiping a false messiah in Barack Obama who can't save him from his troubles or his sins. But Obama's messiah-like status among moral reprobates such as Foxx fulfills a prophecy revealed by the true Messiah Jesus Christ concerning the appearance of false messiahs in the last days: "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible." (Matthew 24:24)

Certainly, Obama performed a great miracle by getting re-elected despite an abysmal economy and an equally abysmal record during his first term. Those things tend to happen when millions of people fall in love with a cult hero, despite his shortcomings. 

However, over in Russia, Lerma and his colleagues at Pravda aren't prostrating themselves before portraits and statues of Barack Obama. Lerma writes: "President Vladimir Putin could never have imagined anyone so ignorant or so willing to destroy their people like Obama, much less seeing millions vote for someone like Obama. They read history in America, don't they?  Alas, the schools in the U.S. were conquered by the Communists long ago and history was revised, thus paving the way for Communist presidents."

Do they still read history in America? Not as much as they used to. And they read the Bible even less when you take into account the growing cesspool of moral depravity that many Americans are drowning in. Certainly, idolatry has existed since the beginning of time and it exists today. But when a successful actor such as Jamie Foxx puts his faith and trust in a mortal man who can't even save himself from his own sins, then we have serious trouble. Foxx can worship whoever and whatever he wants. Unfortunately, he's a high profile celebrity who has a lot of influence with young people who admire him. 

And when he's instructing them to worship a fallen human being such as Barack Obama, he's not only encouraging them to break the First and Second Commandments, (Exodus 20:3-6) he's leading them to a false messiah who can't save them from their sins. That's not only blasphemous, that's eternally tragic. You can admire Barack Obama if you want to, but "worship the Lord your God and serve Him only." (Deuteronomy 6:13)
