    This is silly. The book of Revelation clearly says the antichrist will only show up after the rapture. And while there were a lot of people out sick from work yesterday, I haven't seen any news reports about all the folks in the red states being called up to heaven. So, obviously, no rapture yet, and no antichrist yet either. ... But I'm sure Meghan McCain's time will come.

    Okay, so they translate an ancient, almost completely extinct language (fun fact: I've taught English to students from the only village where it's still spoken) into modern day English, then into modern day Hebrew on the basis that Aramaic is a language that pre-dated Hebrew (doubtful claim) and because there is a coincidence in sounds in one of hundreds of thousands of words of Biblical prophecy, the believe they have made a case that the President, a professing Christian, is the Anti-Christ, thereby opening up the possibility that every other relevant prophecy pretty much contradicts their theory?

    Jesus Fucking Christ, that is stupid.

    @Mediahohoho: They also got the Hebrew wrong-- the conjunction "and" is ONLY ever pronounced as "ve" or "ew," whearas "oh" would mean "OR." Definitely doesn't mean "from," which is "meh" in Hebrew. At the very most we should all be on the lookout for Barak Mebama.

    Oh, crap, the "meh" must refer to Michelle... TOGETHER they form the antichrist...

    Still it's better than having Cheney be the real power behind the President.

    Theres also the minor problem that most of the people in the new testament, used Attic Greek as their first language... not Aramaic..
    You know, on account of living under the jackboot of the Roman Empire, that was all capatalist and shit..
    And Jesus was all about not leading an uprising against the oppressor, but turning the other cheek and helping your fellow man...
    I want to know why they are suppressing the truth!!?!?! that Jesus was a man-loving socialist!!! (and probably a secret kenyan double-muslim)... hold on... now I'm confused.

    @theruttmeister: When you study the Russian language (mainly by reading Russian literature) you can find MANY instances where a single word means an incredibly complex poetic concept. I think about that when I think about how many times the original biblical scripts were translated from language to language. The meaning is pretty much lost.

    well if the shoe fits. "he means that he will make himself like the Son of God, and set himself forward as king. And the terms, "he spake like a dragon," mean that he is a deceiver, and not truthful"

    he is a good speaker and is treated like god, and is president. Plus people wonder if he was born in america, maybe he was born in hell.

    @Josh Craig: What the hell, someone's already promoted your trollish ass, so why not bite? There is nothing more satanic than justifying torture and the killing of civilians with the name of Christ, so the good news is, we've already had 8 years of the Antichrist and survived. Surprisingly, he held the office of VP.

    The asshole promotes Satan every time he runs his lying mouth.

    I think Obama is a fine president. But Worst. AntiChrist.Ever.

    If I were Satan the second people started questioning my birth certificate I would say "Fuck it. Cue the fire raining down from the sky." Glen Beck would have been turned into a frog. Bill O'Reilly would be followed every where by a locust. And I won't even get into how many people would have leprosy or what specifically would happen to Rush Limbaugh's penis.

    Then again, I guess everybody thinks they could do a job better than the pros.

    I'll say it again: Tim LaHaye and his whole Left Behind money-makeer series and lifestyle church culture (especially Left Behind series for the "Young Adult" *shudder*) is loving this.

    Look, I took umbrage--serious umbrage- when I saw the tween/teen Left Behind series prominently displayed at my public library on its own display wheel *right next* to the Summer Reading!

    I asked the librarian wtf? (in a nice way). She just nodded her head and shrugged her shoulders.

    It's worse than Twilight for christ's sake.

    The sound of Biblical Hebrew (what you hear at a UWS Bar/Bat Mitzvah) is based on Tiberian Hebrew (the local dialect of Tiberias) which has little to do with the way Hebrew was pronounced during the time JC was strolling around turning water into wine.

    Which remains me, Gawkerites, it is Friday. Usually, there would be Bellinis on the terrace at chez Smithhimself, but it's raining so I'll open some wine.
