No one has ever discredited the conservative Armstrongites more than they do themselves with their stupid end times conspiracy theories and false prophecies. In line with the racist mindset of the far right in the COG here is another tidbit from our buddies on Yahoo.
Things to keep in mind:
A
final troubling disclosure at the conclusion of this entry may cast
light on why Obama seemed fascinated with such anti-Christian symbolism
in the lead-up to his election victory. A Hadith (tradition) sacred to
Shiite Islam from the 17th century contains a prophecy from Ali ibn
Abi-Talib, which predicts that just before the return of the Mahdi (the
end-times redeemer of Islam), a “tall black man will assume the reins of
government in the West.” This leader will command “the strongest army
on earth” and will bear “a clear sign” from the third imam, Hussein.
The prophecy concludes that: “Shiites should have no doubt that he is
with us.”
Does
this Islamic prophecy identify Obama as the “promised warrior” who
comes to help the savior of Shiite Muslims conquer the world? Amir
Taheri asked this very question for Forbes Magazine in October, 2008,
pointing out how “Obama’s first and second names—Barack Hussein—mean
‘the blessing of Hussein’ in Arabic and Persian” while his “family name,
Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means ‘he
is with us,’ the magic formula in Majlisi’s tradition.”
From a book by Tom Horn, "Apollyon Rising"
In
another book, he suggests the Last Pope is "already here" and finds
evidence that the last pope will not take the name of Peter (altho
called "Peter the Roman") but will call himself Pius. He is supposed to
be an "authoritarian" like the last Pius... but did not give away which
cardinal he thinks it could be.
