Be Blessed.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (Love), I am become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vauneth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seekth not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is (Love) charity.
For those of you that think Obama is the anti-christ here is a bit of information for you to ponder over. Putting the election aside for a minute, this is serious business.
According to Daniel, the Antichrist will come from among the people who destroyed the Temple. Therefore, we can be certain the Antichrist is of Roman descent. However, being of Roman descent does not automatically mean that the Antichrist will be Italian. It simply means he must come from among those people who were part of the Roman Empire of that time.
Most credible biblical scholars and clergymen alike all agree that the anti-christ would rise to power from the Roman/European nation. At This very moment our President Bush is meeting at Camp David with Nicholas Sarkozy, President of France to discuss our world's Economy and how the United States and Europe can unite to solve the world crisis. If you don't do anything else, please read the attached websites concerning Mr. Sarkozy. If you are a Christian, you should be especially interested. If you are a bible scholar it will do you good to read these links. Rev. 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the spirit, saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

It's a proven fact that since I read James A. Michener's "The Tell" cover to cover twice, the semi-non-fictional account of Religion throughout the ages I am qualified as a semi-non-fictional scholar, of semi-non-fictional religion, and since all religion is semi-non-ficitonal, that means you can make semi-non-fictional statements about it.
The Bible's book of Revelations says he with understanding. Well I understood the book! Michener's good Read. Though I much more enjoyed Robert Heinlein's "Job a Commedy of Justice" Where it turned out that not only was Hell a lot more fun place than Heaven, where the only fire was at the enterance just to scare people and had a world class Hyatt Regency but that the Devil did not cause the end of the world but Loki that almost everyone but a few nordic people's were still clinging too and long forgotten along with Odin and the rest of Norse Mythology! Wow what a mistake that turned out to be, no one even saw it coming as Loki wrecked havoc upon the earth!
Thus we have another long standing debate between the Book of Robert and the Book of James that erstwhile Biblical scholars like me have been studying for years.
Now if you go with the book of James, which loosely follows original Biblical accounts, and people have been studying that even longer it seems no one hath understanding. Even the people who read it every day scratching their head saying huh? So it's safe to say yes, since the world economy will be collapsing within weeks, months at the most, and the great deciever shall lead us, and Barrack Obama sure is one fine good looking smooth talking persuasive and charismatic man, then yes Barrack Obama is definately no matter how ever diluded those other Biblical Scholars are who hath no understanding either.
So using my actuall 25 minutes of real Bible Study at the age of 8, and 10 minutes at the age of 30, combined with hours upon hours of pouring over the additional Books of James and Robert, according to the Book of James, he is definately the Anti-Christ.
That is not bad news though for you rabid Obama supporters who require your President to have never written one law or actually governed anything laying out a proven track record of actual effective leadership beyond a paid for campaign staff, which like everything else he has ever done is paid for entirely by donation, who insist he will be the best President of all time and if you screwed up by electing him it was Gods will anyway. I know you will vote for him all the same!
Which since I liked the Book of Robert much better, really doesn't matter is alright because it turns out he runs a great place, one little pit of fire and brimstone just to scare you on arrival and then nothing but nonstop fun everywhere else!
Which of course reminds me of the joke of the two lawyers traveling together killed on a plane crash with one sent to heaven and the other to hell. The laywer in heaven missed his old associate and called him up one day to ask him about hell and how things were going there. The lawyer in hell said great, wow, what a place, best golf courses I have ever played, plenty of beautiful beaches, white powdery sand, georgeous naked women all over the place, happy hour starts at three and lasts until seven, I hardly get a case to work on but when I do they settle out of court for the hugest settlements within hours. I love it. How are things up there. The lawyer in heaven says well, it's nothing like that here, its nice and sunny all the time, but to tell you the truth I have to get to the office at 7:00 AM and work most nights to 7:00 PM, I have a stack of cases piled to the cieling on my desk, the cases are all deposed and litigated to the most exhausting degree and the settlements small when they finally come, I can't remember the last time I got to play golf or go to the beach. Wow said the Lawyer in Hell, I didn't imagine there was that much demand for Lawyers up there. Oh no there really isn't replied the Lawyer in Heaven, it's just there aren't too many of us?
Hey what was it Obama was again before becoming a State Senator?
Anyway clearly according to what I contend is the difinitive book on religion the Book of Robert, we all need to keep our eyes out for Loki in these dark troubling times.
Barrack is alright Devil or not. Robert says he had nothing to do with the end of the world, and Hell is a fun place to be!
Tippy good news about Barrack, you really are on a roll tonight, I knew you had it in you!
Lyndon H LaRouche, Jr, has long contended that the last possible chance for the International Monetary Fund to stave off collapse was in 1998 and held in Washington D.C. where Bill Clinton made a fatal blunder in not making concessions that would have been the last chance ever to pay down the combined debt of trading nations. He claims that from that point on that there was only one way to keep the economy up and running by running it in a hyper-inflationary bubble of robbing smaller nations of their resources and cheap labor and borrowing and fixing the currencies of poorer nations through the same coercive tactics Clinton had been doing, which is of course is what George W. Bush had been doing until as LaRouche predicted the bubble burst. The bubble has burst of course that’s what the Bail Out Package is about.
He said at that point the only thing that would solve it and keep the situation possibly from dissolving onto chaos would be if the member nations of the IMF could agree on how to order the Bankruptcy of them all. We know from the world news that all the member nations are in fact bankrupt and knew they were headed that way which was the point of that conference in 1998 to set a new direction before it was too late, after that there would be no way to honor all the debts.
Now if LaRouche was correct, and considering the member nations of the IMF are just now for the first time since the crisis became unsolvable 10 years ago talking about meeting and all getting together.
Keep in mind dear the SEVEN HEADS just had their representative’s meet in Washington last week.
That means Bush is in France to actually bring the SEVEN HEADS together.
What does this mean? Well good news for Barrack. You see George’s first seven years in power were basically good ones as he kept Clintons doomed bubble up and running using the same self defeating hyper inflationary tactics.
7 good years of George Bush and then world wide economic collapse would make George Bush the Anti-Christ!
See reading all those books paid off!
So very good news, if true Barrack Obama is not the Anti-Christ George Bush is!
This makes even better news for you personally Tippy, now that we got that old Anti-Christ thing dealt with you get to go serve your Lord! What will you wear for the trump dear, I would start picking it out now!
Barrack can now start charging we can’t afford another 4 years of the Anti-Christ.
George of course can now counter and say oh yes you can, as he suspends the election either before or after declares Marshall Law as the nation descents into total bankruptcy.
And guess what you heard it here first Tippy when I predicted 4 more years of George Bush when we first met!
See I read the right books!
So yeah it’s a good news, good news, bad news kind of thing.
You got a great answer on your question and proved Obama is not the Anti-Christ!
You soon get your trump!
7 years, 7 heads, the Eagle has landed!
Sadly as usual I get to be right again.
I sure hope the book of Robert is right too! I am calling the Hyatt now to make reservations, what should I tell them I will arrive in 6 years? Help me out here honey I have been helping you. I sure don’t want to find out they are all booked up because I didn’t reserve in advance!
Yeah Tippy!
Love
The only thing about that is Bush is not European. This is a serious matter, that why I asked that the election be put aside for a minute. It is true that Bush met with the seven heads but Sarkozy is one of those heads. If you track his past as I have been doing, it will surprise you how fast he has risen into power. Please, please, please do your research!!! This man is negotiating with our president on a one world economic and finance system. I don't have time for foolishness on this.

France's 'Omni-President' Wins Praise for Take-Charge Approach

Washington Post Foreign Service Saturday, October 18, 2008; Page A07 PARIS, Oct. 17 -- The satirical French newspaper Canard Enchaine has baptized President
Nicolas Sarkozy the "omni-president," mocking him as a political whirling dervish who tries to take charge wherever he goes. As Sarkozy prepares to meet President Bush on Saturday evening at Camp David to discuss the world financial crisis, the joke has never seemed more appropriate.

Sarkozy, who took power in May 2007, has ridden the crisis to a stature he has rarely enjoyed during his time as president, among the French population as well as fellow European presidents. He arrives in Washington with political wind in his sails and the determination to convince Bush that now is the time for a broad revision of a world financial system whose free-market excesses Sarkozy has called "folly." Sarkozy, 53, has perhaps been most noticed in the United States for a noisy divorce from his second wife and a swift remarriage to
Carla Bruni, an Italian former model turned pop singer who is 13 years younger and noticeably taller than her husband. Sarkozy's more recent notoriety has flowed from a particularly energetic response to the financial crisis that hit European banks about 10 days after it erupted on Wall Street. Rushing from summit to summit, from strategy session to private harangue, from telephone conversation to presidential banquet, Sarkozy has, over the last month, climbed back in opinion polls at home after a long slump that was due in part to his tumultuous private life but also to a sluggish economy. In addition, he has drawn praise from European leaders and commentators for embracing the crisis as an opportunity for leadership and for shepherding the 27
European Union nations into a coordinated response that few imagined possible a few weeks ago. Reports in Paris said Sarkozy has told associates he views the crisis as a historic moment crying out for audacious and concerted action by world leaders. Europe, he reportedly said, has reacted with more vigor than the United States and, with
France
holding the European Union's rotating presidency, the incarnation of that resolute decision-making was Sarkozy himself. Sarkozy will arrive for the talks with Bush backed by a unanimous E.U. decision Thursday endorsing his campaign for an international conference by the end of the year to revamp the world's financial regulations and, in Sarkozy's words, "re-found the capitalist system." Bush and his aides have made it clear that that sounds too ambitious to their ears, particularly on the swift schedule laid out by Sarkozy. But the caution in Washington seemed unlikely to deter a man who has made bold leadership -- his detractors say rash and overbearing -- the hallmark of his career. "In a world that is moving fast, being stuck in one place is the riskiest posture of all, for our country and for every Frenchman," Sarkozy wrote in his campaign autobiography, "Bearing Witness." From the beginning of his political career as mayor of the cosseted Paris suburb of Neuilly, Sarkozy's attitude rubbed many French politicians and political commentators the wrong way. He was trained as a lawyer, making him one of the few senior French political figures who did not emerge through the National School of Administration, the elite academy that molds graduates of France's top universities to be ministry assistants, senior civil servants and, sometimes, political leaders. Sarkozy is the son of a Hungarian immigrant descended from minor nobility who married the daughter of a French urologist whose ancestors were among the Jews of Salonika, Greece. As such, Sarkozy was considered something of an outsider as he climbed the hierarchy in the Gaullist party under former president
Jacques Chirac
. Sarkozy's vocabulary was more robust than the velvet tones learned by his competitors from the National School of Administration and, perhaps because he is only 5-foot-5, he struck some as a bantam pecking his way through a world of finely feathered roosters. "Politics was not a family tradition," he wrote in his 300-page campaign manifesto. "In fact, everything should have discouraged me from it. I had neither relations nor fortune. I was not a civil servant and I had a name that, with its foreign sound, would have convinced a lot of people to melt into anonymity rather than expose themselves to the light." Sarkozy's competition with former prime minister Dominique de Villepin was a dramatic illustration of his drive. Both men were weighing a run for the presidency at the end of Chirac's second and final term. De Villepin, a tall, silver-haired graduate of the National School of Administration who had been a diplomat and foreign minister, looked the part. But Sarkozy, distinguishing himself as a law-and-order interior minister during immigrant rioting, scratched his way into the Gaullist party leadership and eventually imposed himself as the candidate. Nicolas Verón of Bruegel, the Brussels-based economic and political research center, noted that throughout his career, Sarkozy has come back to try again after defeats. This trait was on display during the recent financial crisis, Verón noted. Sarkozy's first attempt to get the leaders of Europe's main economic powers to endorse coordinated responses on Oct. 4 ended in failure. Undeterred, he multiplied telephone contacts and sent out a flurry of suggestions to European capitals . The result was a summit Oct. 12 during which the leaders of the 15 countries that use the euro agreed on a common European framework for national measures to keep banks afloat and guarantee bank deposits. "And he was diplomatic about it, too," Verón added. To make the accord possible, for instance, Sarkozy went out of his way to court German Chancellor
Angela Merkel
, with whom he had clashed in previous times of stress. She had proclaimed that case-by-case national decisions were the only way out of the crisis. But by the Oct. 12 summit, she was signing onto Sarkozy's proposals for a Europe-wide formula. Similarly, British Prime Minister
Gordon Brown had attended the Oct. 4 gathering only on the condition that there be no talk of common European bailout funds. Once there, he joined Merkel in advocating national-level action. But Sarkozy responded by letting it be known through leaks from the Elysee Palace that he admired Brown's bailout plan for Britain
and wanted to suggest something similar on a European scale. In a further bow to Brown, he invited the British leader to attend part of the Oct. 12 summit even though Britain does not use the euro. » This Story:

Tippy that be a big no on Sarkozy. He plays a key role in potential monetary reform simply because a. he leans to the right and feels it’s in Frances best interest to forge closer ties with the United Sates b. Because France was instrumental in having the Euro adopted.
Sarkozy has tried to nudge France away from some of its socialist policies. France is a country where welfare is offered to everyone from cradle to death with a wide array of free social services that require the average French Citizen and Business to pay 40%-60% in income taxes. Frances one time great economic power like most former colonizing nations was largely based on its ability to raid and rob natural resources from indigenous people. As part of a post World War II system of government promoted by the United Nations Colonial Powers were required to give up holdings in places like the Middle East, Africa, Central and South America, the Caribbean and Asia. Economically France has been in decline since, legislating things like a 35 hour a week work week, 33 paid days off for all workers, and limiting the number of new businesses that can be created to create a fixed system of competition. Sarkozy has been trying to develop a more hands off approach in hopes of creating a more vibrant economy. This is a difficult thing in a country were communists, socialists, democrats, and other leftists, and rightists all have parties and influence within the government and amongst the populace. In short they love to argue a lot and have plenty of time to do it.
Sarkozy’s rise to power has hardly been meteoric as he has been in government since he was in his early 20’s holding a wide variety of government posts.
He has been known to be crude and gruff and even profane at times when within earshot of the press.
Frances representative to the IMF which is actually what governs the global economy and trading system is a socialist that Sarkozy wants to replace. Because of the difficulties of reaching a consensus for high offices like Prime Minister because of so many competing political parties with such varied interest, it’s a time honored tradition that certain Ministerial level positions be granted to and retained by various Parties to ensure that Party’s partial role and say in Government. The representative to the IMF has been one traditionally given to the Socialists Party and trying to put that into the hands of a right wing official instead has caused some controversy.
If you can appreciate and understand that monetary reform has not occurred because parties to the IMF have not been able to agree how to since 1998 because of each member nation’s stance on how to create reform, Sarkozy’s desire to put someone from the right into this position probably indicates a desire to have someone more agreeable towards the reform that is needed.
The Euro which England did not adopt was meant to give sharing nations a combined power to rival super power status but made each nation then dependent upon each others gross national product output to keep the currency strong. It was also in part meant to mask the financial problems those member countries were having at the time.
France played a dominating position in the creation and adoption of the Euro as most often is the case countries with the most powerful military in a region do enjoy a dominating position.
Why you are likely being misinformed Sarkosy who grew up a veritable bastard after being abandoned by his father and rose to power actually quite slowly to a position he will not hold long in volatile French Politics might be the anti-Christ stems primarily from his poor handling of relations to the Vatican.
Sarkozy’s one and only trip to meet with the Pope featured a bored and distracted Sarkosy dividing his time from his Papal host during their talk and text messaging often on his phone to others not there.
The Pope and Catholics of course found this highly rude.
Additionally unlike here Church and State are not separate. While we do not tax churches, France actually provides funds to churches of all denominations.
Sarkozy also wants to do away with that and make Church and State separate and require the churches to stand on their own economically through donations from parishioners as is done in this country.
To the religious on both the right and the left they see this as a threat to what they have long enjoyed and would therefore consider it an assault on God.
The reality is he is trying to trim costs where ever he can in both business practices and State expenditures because France like everyone else is broke.
Tippy I can assure you this Bush and his team is in fact the world’s most powerful machine, these are not stupid or weak or foolish people no matter how you might want to misrepresent his actions or leadership.
They would have no reason what so ever to bow to a poorer nation, with a much weaker military, with far fewer citizens, with no natural resources, with no strategic placements of military might or control over natural resources deemed strategic.
There are in fact too harsh realities that politicians can’t actually tell you without causing panic.
One that the world’s economies and nations have long been bankrupt and teetering on collapse, a collapse that can only be forestalled so long before creating world wide hardships and a wholesale change of life.
Two that Oil is vital as long as our infrastructures and others run on it.
We will have a dominating say but not dictatorial one when it comes to the planned bankruptcy to bring the long non viable monetary system down.
We will have that dominating position for two reasons.
We have the strongest Military.
We currently control through that Military the oil at the source and therefore its distribution.
Simply put in a world with worthless currencies nations like France will be dependent upon us to allow them a portion of that oil we control.
It is why Sarkozy traveled to Washington and not Bush to France.
It is because of that vital oil and the absolute vital need for it, that Obama would never be allowed elected as he would give it away, to save worthless money here at home.
If there was such a thing as the Anti-Christ Sarkozy did not enjoy the birth, education or rise to power that would have given him true power. He barely has a wealth of around a million U.S. dollars and money is power. France is a nation with politics so volatile with so many parties and is so fractionalized it would make for a horrible seat of power, and France lacks the military might to exert power over us.
Your idea that Bush is week or easily manipulated or overly naïve and foolish is false.
He has a brilliant team behind and around him from his Father on down and a birthright of power, privilege and true wealth, a military and resources behind him that gives him and us the world’s strongest hand.
If you actually knew and could consider everything going on and involved he has actually done an excellent job. Most people did not think it would be possible for him to have actually kept the world economy from collapsing this long.
It is a not a domino effect as some misinformed Obama supporters claim that is bankrupting Europe and Asia and Australia and soon to be South America all at the same time, it is because we are all interlinked in having to trade resources and goods with one another that no one nation truly has enough of to sustain it’s population.
No one really wants to grasp that because it suits no one in particulars political agenda.
Politics and business though are two separate things and trying to merge them into one is a foolish endeavor that confuses and hides issues and that’s just what you have here that you are dealing with, confused and hidden issues that people guess at and fail to understand as politicians play upon those ignorance’s for votes.
Sarkozy is not the anti-Christ and neither is Bush.
There are some big changes coming Tippy that might happen before February and I can assure you that from a national standpoint Bush will represent us well in those, his father and advisors and his team have far more experience than this and understand the strength of their negotiating hand and position far better than Obama or even McCain would.
What ever system we end up with will be the one that best keeps goods, and resources, and food flowing to us first.
That’s the American Dream. The anti-Christ, that’s someone else’s dream.
The one major comment i have is that this came to me by way of revelation of the Holy Spirit. I started following Jesus and surrendered to Him 4 years ago in December, going on 5 now. Since then i have been seeking Him on many issues that i have from living a life that was totally self absorbed, selfish and self centered. One amazing revelation is that the church isn't going to magically dissapear. I was raised being taught this. Many books and movies have been made pushing this idea. I believe this came out of watering down what the bible teaches in order to not have the seats empty and the offering plate end up the same way. If you read I Thessalonians 4:13-5:11 its a very clear picture of what Paul says the comong of The Lord is going to be like. I know a lot of whole hearted Jesus following christians that believe that the rapture is going to be out of nowhere and they are going to escape all trouble and persecution. Thats just not true. I don't know who the anti-christ is or who hes going to be but i do believe this whole rapture teaching and many others that scripture just simply does not teach is going to be the reason for many falling away in the end times because rather then going back to see what the bible teaches, many will say, "Well pastor so-and-so said it was going to be like this." and go by that rather then going back and seeing what the bible says. When we stand before The Judgement Seat Of Christ He will say, "What did I say?"
