Torah codes predict, and warn about, Obama presidency

[Israel Insider]

Two Jewish researchers, Joel Gallis and Dr. Robert Wolf, asserted with utter certainty in May 2007, long before Barack Hussein Obama had won his first primary and when it appeared that Hillary Clinton was a sure thing, that he would be the next president of the United States.

More recently, in August 2008, the scholars reported that Obama's name "intersects" with a passage in the apocalyptic book of Daniel, Chapter 7, and specifically Daniel 7:25, which speaks of the last "king" who would oppress God's people under the rubric of bringing about "change" to the world.

The scholars show that the numerical equivalent of "Barack Hussein Obama" in gematria – the practice of finding the numerical value of letters and creating associations between words and phrases – is 501.

In an article from August 2008, the scholars elaborate that this number is associated with the "end of days" and two factors that they say the Torah indicate would trigger the apocalypse: the rise of Islam and the fact that Jews are bring about their own fall – by overwhelming helping to elect Obama:

The connection is that the descendants of Yishmael are the evil that will befall the Jewish People at that time. We will anger G-d through the work of our hands, במעשה ידיכם (a gematria of 501), and the evil of the ישמעאלים (also a gematria of 501) will befall us. So what could we have possibly done with our hands that would anger Hashem? With our very own hands, we finance and work to put the wrong people in power over us. This action results in our downfall. By putting into power leaders in Israel who don’t believe in G-d, we help bring about a spiritual collapse. And by electing dangerous leaders in America and other countries, we assist in bringing our physical and moral downfall. We vote for these people, we put them in power, and we raise money for them. This inappropriate work of our hands will bring evil upon us in the form of Yishmael.
For not only is 501 the value of במעשה ידיכם (the work of our hands), and our punishment, the ישמעאלים , but it is also connected to the next President of the United States that we are helping put in power through Jewish efforts. For 501 is also the gematria of ראש representing the new head, or leader of America.

So who will be the new ראש of America? Our readers probably will be shocked to learn that 501 is also the gematria of ברק חוסיין אובאמה, Barack Hussein Obama.

Hashem watches as countless Jews, especially in Hollywood, California, rush to send their money to Obama’s campaign chest. And so, with our own hands we are in the process of taking a descendant from Yishmael and placing him as our Rosh in the White House, just 7 years after 9/11. He is indeed the evil that will befall us at the end of days, the evil that Moses spoke to our ancestors about.

But there are those who argue that Obama is youthful and energized in his appearance and his ideas. Why shouldn’t we believe him when he says the magic words that he is a friend of Israel? How do we really know he’s dangerous to us? Not only is his name the same gematria as Yishmaelim, evidencing that he is a Muslim although he denies it, but it also has a further connection to a wave of impending evil against the Jews and the rest of the world.

At our Passover seders we spill a drop of wine when we mention each of the 10 plagues, and also when we mention the abbreviation of those plagues by saying דצך עדש באחב . Well this abbreviation of the 10 plagues also has a gematria of 501, the same as Barack Hussein Obama and the Yishmaelim.

Obama and radical Muslims will bring as much havoc, destruction, and confusion to the world as all the 10 plagues together brought to Egypt. It’s interesting how Rabbi Yehudah, who made the acrostic or abbreviation of the plagues, took the first Hebrew letter of each plague. However, with respect to the last plague, מכת בכרות , the killing of the first born, he took the bais (the first letter of the 2nd word of the plague), rather than the mem (the first letter of the first word). Perhaps he knew that in the future, during the end of days, there would be an Obama. Perhaps his message is a warning to us that has been encoded in the Haggadah for nearly 2 thousand years until today.

The foreign minister of Hamas has recently endorsed Obama for president. The Los Angeles Times devoted a lengthy front-page story headlined, “Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama.”

Ali Abunimah, a resident of Obama’s district, claims that Obama said several years ago when running for the Senate, that he was sorry he couldn’t talk more about the Palestinian cause since his primary campaign had constrained what he could say.

Daniel 7 (25) deals with the last king of the 4th beast of exile who will humble 3 other kings. Rav Saadia Gaon stated that the 3 kings or leaders who will be humbled, are from Israel, Greece (representing Europe), and Yishmael (representing the Arab nations). This haughty, arrogant king will speak words against G-d and the Jewish People, and he will try to change the times and the law. How interesting is it that this very word, change, is the key word used by Obama in his campaign?

The coded, end of days message that Yaakov gave over to his sons was not deciphered by them. But our generation, the generation alive at the end of days, can understand the clues and break the code.

In Yaakov’s statement there are 4 words אשר יקרא אתכם באחרית (that will befall you in the end). The word אשר that describes the identity of the evil has a gematria of 501 the same as Barack Hussein Obama. And if you look at the word באחרית , in the end, the first 3 letters contain the initials of Obama. The bais is for ברק Barack, the aleph is for אובאמה Obama, and the ches is for חוסיין Hussein.

The scholars, using the clues of the book of Daniel, say that Obama will rein as "King" for three and a half years. In their May broadcast, they ascribe special significance to the date of April 8, 2009, the day before the festival of Passover (Pesach), when the once-in-28-years "Blessing of the Sun" is to be recited. They believe that between now and that date there will be dramatic developments that involve Iran.

I've always had a problem with those who are of the conspiracy set. Years ago I was given a book about some of this and found that the first half of the book was written in such a way to form a "logic" to the conclusions. It was for this reason I tend to dismiss much of it. Come to find out, shortly thereafter, I found that most of the conspiracy types were of the thought that Jews were behind ALL these evils. There used to be a paper published out of DC, the Spotlight, that catalogued all these theories with the CFR, Trilateralits, Bilderbergs etc etc and put it on the Jews doorstep. So I can't helpl but be doubtful considering where their blame lies.

[Sharbano]

Oh, I don't completely discount it. There are many plausibilites. It's just that those who Make their living in regards to these theories blame the Jews. It wouldn't suggest, though, that all their ideas are false. I'm just a skeptic, for the moment. All these ties Could be benign or also could be something malicious. We just don't seem to have any evidence, as yet, anyway.

[christian friend of israel]

I definitely think The Trilateralists and CFR have a tremendous influence of world events and probably caused some wars, but I do not see this as a Jewish conspiracy . There are some Jews on board. There are also other people that are not Jews. Does the presence of, say, 10 Jews in a group of 50 persons make it a Jewish conspiracy? You would have to be itching to blame Jews to believe such a thing.

As I was told for the last eight years, after Bush stole the election not once but twice: Your guy lost. Get Over It!

Further, while gemitra is an interesting diversion, I don't buy into it. When the Torah has something to say, it is not going to be encoded and subject to solving by a puzzle, it is spelled out and easy to understand.

[anne in texas]

I totally agree with you, Mitch S.. And i'll add that using religious texts as a weapon is really sinful, in my opinion.

In "numerololgy" as well as in astrology, people use archetypal symbols to create certain "truths". Researchers have shown, and it is a pretty well accepted psychological principle, that people will look for evidence to affirm their beliefs. The human mind has an extraordinary ability to ignore evidence that contradicts their beliefs, and people will go to great lengths to ignore contradictory evidence. that is how people "believe" in astrology and numerology. I recall that the term is "bias confirmation". The splitting hairs with the meaning of a name does the same thing. Barack Hussein Obama was a name given to him by his parents. That is all it means folks. I have an odd middle name. It doesn't mean anything except what it meant to my parents.

I don't know enough about the Torah Codes. I think G_D has written the proof of Himself in the Torah but it can also be misinterpreted easily. As for Obama; he was also called Barry Soetero (sic). Since he is so arrogant that he won't produce his birth certificate we don't really know exactly who he really is. He is clearly a bad guy to anyone that didn't choose to be deceived.

I don't know enough about the Torah Codes. I think G_D has written the proof of Himself in the Torah but it can also be misinterpreted easily.
You also don't know enough about the Torah. How do you know anything about God? Except what you have read or been told. The use of God as authority for your position is falacious reasoning and very sacreligious as well as arrogant.

As for Obama; he was also called Barry Soetero (sic). Since he is so arrogant that he won't produce his birth certificate we don't really know exactly who he really is. He is clearly a bad guy to anyone that didn't choose to be deceived. Barack Obama had a childhood, yes. He was born in Hawaii. This is undisputed by everyone except the extreme right. The attack on his character is classic Atwater/Rovian politics. It has been disavowed by most Americans. Why not join the civilized 21st century and try to use rational thinking. I am insulted by your insinuation that I have chosen to be deceived. I am an intelligent, well read person. Religion has an important place in people's private lives, but it has no place in science and in public policy making. Why not join the civilized 21st century and try to use rational thinking.

Yeah, and while Ayers was bombing his beloved country, Obama was only eight, registered as a Muzzlem in an Indonesian school. "I've never been a Muzzlem," said Obama, the One who can recite the !slamic call to prayer with a perfect Arabic accent. Hmmm.

Back to Ayers. Should the president-elect really be in cahoots for decades with a man who dedicated his political manifesto to Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin of RFK? Really??? What did the two of them do with that 50 million they had to "improve" education in Chicago? Why isn't his colossal fraud and failure the subject of concern for even his followers? Don't they want their man to actually have a track record of getting things done?

Was he born in Hawaii? How could such a blithe fact swirl in so much mystery? Where are Obama's educational transcripts? Are they sealed coz they would reveal his citizenship status? Why aren't his Obamatons clamouring for his every scribbling to prove his genius? Why aren't his precious fans not demanding to read every scrap he's ever written; will his records be sealed in perpetuity?

Obama's 20 year relationship with Rev Wright is no small matter, not when one understands the essence, origins and outlook of Black Liberation Theology. Trinity is as much a xian church as San Francisco is the epitome of conservative prudence. Does "rational thinking" include equating BLT with something good? How do Blacks benefit from being taught to hate whites? (How have ?alestinians benefitted from their learned hatred of Jews, er Zionists?) Speaking of ?alestinians, should any president-elect ever praise a rabid frabricator and mouthpiece for antisemetic hate as that which foamed from the cakehole of Rashid Kalidi? Why would the LA Times explain they can't release the video of the event to protect the life of the videographer and that party of threatening revellers not be the subject of extreme concern?

Furthermore, Obama won due to the racism of low expectations; as if a black man should have shady characters in his midst; shouldn't be scrutinized based on his record; must not have his ideology compared to his alliances with bonefide radicals and foreign elements within the ME. Obama cannot withstand scrutiny so there must be none.

Way to go!! You said it all. How about them apples, Anne?

[anne in texas]

All of those crazy insinuations have been proven away. You know, George W. Bush, Karl Rove and his clan taught the right the tactic of repeating lies over and over again, because, they believed it will eventually stick. Many of us never bought the "kool-aid" as the cliche is often described. I don't buy it here. It's like those that keep repeating the lies and distortions and attacking Barack Obama's integrity live in some dark bunker somewhere away from the civilized world I live in, hoping their vitriol and their dark desires for armageddon come true. It's sick. It is sick to use religion for those purposes. It is sick when people are taught to believe that the only way to eternal salvation is a very particular belief, that damnation awaits those who don't believe their brand of religion, that those very same people turn around and pretend to care about a group of other god fearing people who don't believe that brand just to fuel the sick agenda of end times.

All of those crazy insinuations have been proven away.

"anne in texas" -- I'm so glad I have smarter cousins who live in Texas and that you're not representative of well-read, intelligent Texans.

You DO realize that the reason why we're telling you that Obama registered as a Muslim in his schools when he was a child is because we've got physical proof of such registration, right? Oh, you mean you've never seen it? Try looking it up. "Barack Obama"'s Indonesian school registration record was released to those who asked, and it clearly states that his name was, at the time, "Barry Soetoro", and that his religion was Islam. You might be gorbling down all that the media and Obama's Blueshirt Army feeds you when he says he's "never been a Muslim", but those of us who've seen the document know that he is LYING.

It is also fact that Bill Ayers dedicated his Prairie Fire manifesto to Sirhan Sirhan, the doosh (spelling intentional, I don't know if there is censoring here) who killed Bobby Kennedy.

It is also fact that for some reason, Obama's Columbia transcripts are unavailable. In fact, he won't release ANY of his school transcripts.

So tell us, anne -- what is it that has been "proven away"?
