The September 11 attacks (also referred to as September 11, September 11th, or 9/11 were a series of four coordinated suicide attacks upon the United States in New York City and the Washington, D.C. areas on September 11, 2001. On that Tuesday morning, 19 terrorists from the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda hijacked four passenger jets.
The hijackers intentionally flew two of those planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center complex in New York City; both towers collapsed within two hours.
The hijackers also intentionally crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and intended to pilot the fourth hijacked jet, United Airlines Flight 93, into the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.; however, the plane crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after its passengers attempted to take control of the jet from the hijackers. Nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks, including all 227 civilians and 19 hijackers aboard the four planes.
On numerous occasions it’s been proven that the President, although claiming to embrace Christianity, regularly quotes Scripture either incorrectly or out of context. Usually the quotation cited is specifically chosen to further a policy or message the President is promoting, and sometimes just to remind everyone that he really is a Christian. However, other than imply that the strength of his leadership could slow the rising oceans and heal an ailing planet, thus far, at least not openly, Obama has not identified himself as a modern-day messiah.
On the other hand, Michelle Obama obviously sees her husband in a different light. At a campaign event in Nashville, the first lady, all pumped up in anticipation of the coming election season, let it slip that she thinks she’s married to a celestial being.
In her closing statements, Michelle said, “I’m so in. I am going to be working so hard. We have an amazing story to tell.”
At that juncture, Mrs. Obama should have stopped, because what she said next crossed the line from excited campaign rhetoric into sacrilege territory.
In typical Democrat fashion, after making the outrageous statement Michelle didn’t expound on how the President has led America out of the darkness into the light, nor did she offer examples to support her stunning pronouncement.
However, failure to develop her point is only part of the problem, because in 1 Peter 2:9, the way the Apostle identifies God’s people is by saying, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”
If Michelle refuses to explain the basis of her observation, those who have eyes to see and ears to hear should focus on the latter part of that verse: “…that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”
Quite frankly, the 450 people attending the event who applauded Michelle’s disturbing remark are scarier than the woman voicing that sentiment.
By declaring that Barack Obama has led America out of the darkness and into the light, what Mrs. Obama proved is that either the Obamas didn’t really attend Reverend Wright’s church for 20 years as they claimed, or for some reason Jeremiah never had time to preach from the Scripture.
In the Bible there are many verses that refer to light and darkness and in almost all of them, it is God turning darkness to light or identifying Himself as the literal Light. In 2 Samuel 22:29 while singing a song of deliverance, the psalmist David said of the Lord, “You are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord turns my darkness to light.”
In Isaiah 42:16 God speaks to the prophet and says, “I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth.”
And of course in the New Testament, in John 9:5, Jesus referred to Himself when He said “I am the light of the world.”
So, maybe Michelle was unaware of the analogy she was making, or maybe she was fully aware. Either way, over the last three years the man who promised the miraculous has failed miserably. Therefore, either Michelle or the object of her adoration should explain that, contrary to popular opinion in some circles, Barack Obama is not “The way, the truth, and the life.”
If the first lady’s ‘out of the darkness into the light’ comment isn’t eventually either retracted or at least explained, maybe somebody should make Michelle Obama and those in Nashville who applauded her aware of another Scripture in 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 that also references a man of light: “…such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.”
Originally posted at American ThinkerIn some circles, supporters who stop just short of worshiping the man have assigned Barack Obama God-like qualities. Lest we forget, this is a guy who people believed would provide America a nonstop Biblical-style Day of Jubilee. The belief was, Obama would forgive mortgages and, like multiplying the loaves and fishes, fill gas tanks with free $5-a-gallon gasoline.
Just prior to the election in 2008, candidate Obama had the audacity to declare that if he was elected, in that historic moment, "the rise of the oceans [would begin] to slow and our planet begin to heal." Yet, since that day there have been cataclysmic global events, including eight major rising-sea tsunamis that have claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.
It seems like every time the President makes a Messiah-like proclamation, whether large or small, God drops in unannounced to remind the world who's really in charge. And judging by the way things have been going for the last three years or so, the good old days of pestilence and plagues would be a welcome reprieve.
Still, one has to admit that it takes an extraordinary person with quite an inflated ego to claim the power to affect planetary well-being, as well as an ample dose of chutzpah to advertise oneself as having the ability to command rising oceans to slow.
Meanwhile, the most recent divine rebuke to correct Barack Obama's omnipotent self-perception occurred when the White House wielded its power to strong-arm the media into scrubbing stories about daughter Malia's second vacation since January, a parent-free spring break in Oaxaca, Mexico.
It started when the White House, supposedly concerned for Malia's security, asked the press to back off the story. In response, the AFP, Yahoo News, the Huffington Post, various Australian news organizations, the Daily Mail, and the Telegraph all agreed to push the delete button on the 'Malia Goes to Mexico' story -- which they had already published -- with an agreeability that should be newsworthy in itself.
The media must have been so intimidated that no one thought to ask how this president, who allows his 13-year-old child to go on a school trip to a country that's racking up headless corpses faster than he's racking up debt, can get away with chastising the press for compromising his daughter's security.
Nevertheless, judging by the long list of headlines that linked to "404 error" pages, it appeared that once again Pharaoh Obama's magicians had thrown their staffs to the ground to exhibit their power to turn rods into snakes and everyone jumped back. But the exhibition was short lived because, in one fell swoop, a bigger, badder serpent swallowed the President's power over the press.
After the diktat came down from on high to replace the Malia-in-Mexico stories with "Senegal music star Youssou Ndour hits campaign trail," a 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit in close proximity to where the President's daughter was vacationing.
Thankfully the girl was unharmed, but the White House had to acquiesce and come out with a story assuring the world that Malia Obama, while spring-breaking in gunrunning, drug cartel-laden, beheading-for-sport Mexico, had survived the earthquake.
Proving yet again that just like the Pharaoh of old, another message needed to be sent to a man deluded into believing he's the one in charge. And the message was this: 'You may be able to push around a pusillanimous press, but you have zero power to heal a trembling earth, or calm the rising sea.'
