The Harder They Fall

The end of another false messiah?

It was Jesus Christ who warned us that in the last days, "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)

When Christ revealed that prophecy to His disciples shortly before His crucifixion, he was speaking of demonically-empowered miracle workers who would appear in the end times claiming to be the Son of God.

But I believe that Christ also warned folks to watch out for charismatic political charlatans who would appear and mesmerize people with their hypnotic speeches. Certainly, Barack Obama fits that description. 

His hypnotic speeches on the presidential campaign trail beginning in 2007 dazzled many folks to the point that some considered Obama to be a messianic figure. And certainly, considering the economic-political climate in the United States in 2007, the nation was vulnerable to being seduced by a slick-talking opportunist.

Many people now laugh at the mere thought of Obama as a messianic figure. But they weren't laughing in 2008 after Obama defeated his Republican opponent John McCain to win the presidency. 

When Obama stepped out on the stage in Chicago's Grant Park on November 4 to deliver his acceptance speech in front of hundreds of thousands of his supporters, many reacted as if Obama had just descended from the heavens to save the world.  

Some folks swayed back and forth like trees in the wind. Some giggled foolishly; others fainted while still others stared at Obama with those glassy, vacant eyes as if God himself had appeared to them in person. And yes, some even urinated all over themselves. 

Now, nearly six years later, Obama's mythical coat of chrome has turned to rust. He presides over the most oppressive, corrupt, inept and scandal ridden administration in the history of America. There's no need to list his administration's litany of sins. They speak for themselves.

This is inevitably what happens when people ignore the hard evidence and vote with their emotions. And the hard evidence screams at us now as it did many years ago that Barack Obama was nothing but a political con artist; an inexperienced politician who had few--if any--political accomplishments who also happened to keep company with terrorists and racist, fire-breathing preachers. 

However, America's problems run a lot deeper than overrated politicians such as Barack Obama who manage to fool the people and get themselves elected to positions they aren't qualified for. Barack Obama isn't America's problem--he's merely a symptom of a much larger problem.

America's problems are moral rather than political. America has become a nation of morally depraved imbeciles who live only for food, sex, alcohol, drugs, money, materialism and pleasure. In other words, America has become a pagan nation. And pagan nations don't usually have long shelf lives.

For those who now express buyer's remorse for trusting in a contemptible person such as Obama not once but twice, I urge you to go look in the mirror. Then you'll see the real problem. 

And if you want to correct that problem, then I urge you not to put your faith and trust in fallen human beings such as Barack Obama for your salvation, but rather in the Son of God Jesus Christ who'll correct the real problem in your life. And that's your selfish, sinful heart.
