Gerald Celente, a self-styled trends forecaster, discussed recently about what he sees happening to the United States’ economy based on the programs being implemented by the government. Mr. Celente doesn’t color his predictions with religious tones, just with numbers and what he sees as straight facts. People simply paying attention can also see what appears to be the deliberate dismantling of America (and perhaps the world’s) economy. Based on what I read in the Holy Bible, the world will be brought to its knees when the Anti-Christ’s religious and economic agent, the Anti-Christ implements a mark for everyone on the planet to do any kind of business. When will this be? Who knows, but as the LORD has spoken it, surely it will come to pass.

Revelation 13:11Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
15And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. 16Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.

This is what it appears President Obama seems to think anyway. This man, who calls himself a Christian, doesn’t know Who Jesus Is nor what He died for (I have yet to see the evidence of such knowledge). But our president knows that the Messiah surely left behind some awesome speech material that he can quote from when he wants to uplift people and motivate the crowds to do good works. Case in point: Mr. Obama’s speech at George Town University. According to two reports, the White House had aksed for the smbols IHS, representing Jesus Christ’s name to be covered-up, and it appears there is no direct mention of the Messiah’s name in the president’s speech either. GOD forbid, that at a Catholic school, you say the LORD’s name out loud.

"The Truth" by Michael D'Antuono
This hardly needs any commentary, so I’ll just give you some info from the press release about this “art work” that’s to be installed in New York City’s Union Squared:

The truth? Glorified or crucified? What’s to be interpreted when the image of President Barack Obama is clearly smiling and is in no distress. What a joke. When will the man-worship end? I am convinced this has to be some kind of practice run for the anti-Christ, whom the Holy Bible says the whole world will worship (Revelation 13).
