ObamantéChrist?
-
By Michael Withers

Thursday, August 26, 2010 - 16 Elul 5770
-
I admit willingly publish an article entitled "ObamantéChrist? "Is provocative. Indeed, it is very politically incorrect in these times secularized to wonder if Obama would not - by chance - the Antichrist or anti-Christ. This is even more wrong French media that have recently made fun of Americans Christians because they think Obama might be the Antichrist. French media, who also were extremely friendly face at the beginning of Ramadan, up to praise the spirituality in this Mohammedan ritual of not eating during the day and eat a lot at night.
-
I recently wrote that Obama was "Muslim culture" because of his "Muslim children" and to say this, I am mainly based on the analysis of Daniel Pipes (*). Therefore, one would ask me how his childhood and Muslim culture are Muslim - possibly - of Obama the Antichrist or anti-Christ.
-
What is the Antichrist? In the Epistle of John (1 John 2, 18), it is written: "Little children, it` is the last time: and as ye have heard that Antichrist cometh, even now many antichrists whereby we know this is the last hour. " In this regard, I recall that we can look to the Scriptures while being agnostic or atheist. Because apart from faith, is a question of knowledge, culture and reason.
-
Here are two excerpts from the Epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians (II Thess II 1 and II Thessalonians II, 8), which shed light on the Letter of John quoted in the preceding paragraph: "In terms of the Advent Our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering with Him, we beseech you, brethren, do not let you shake your feelings easily, or alarmed, either by a spirit or a few words or letters supposedly from us, as if the Lord's Day (Judgement Day) was imminent. Let no one deceive you in any way, because before coming apostasy and manifest human sin, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts against everything that is called God or honor of a cult, to sit in the sanctuary of God and to appear as if he were God .
-
And also (II Thessalonians II, 8): "And then discovers the ungodly, that the Lord exterminate the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. Appeared in the lawless will, through the power of Satan, with all sorts of miracles, signs and wonders, with all unrighteous deception for those who are lost because they did not opened their hearts to the love of truth which would have saved. "
-
I write it again: we can look to the Scriptures while being agnostic or atheist. Because apart from faith, is a question of knowledge, culture and reason. In this regard, I note that while some wonder if Obama is not the Antichrist, others wonder if Obama does not take to the Messiah. It usually pays this kind of thinking to Evangelicals. And we took the opportunity to present these Evangelicals like clowns hallucinated. It will not, in fact, work ideas on certain issues. And we're not talking clown hallucinating when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says he will "wipe Israel off the map" and "wipe Israel off the page of time".
-
According to Christian culture, there have been and there will be many antichrists before the advent of the ultimate Antichrist in the End Times. Thus, throughout history, Christian thinkers have found that Muhammad, Robespierre, Stalin and Hitler were antichrist. Regarding Islam, it is true that the God of the Mohammedans in no way corresponds to the God of Jews and Christians. Indeed, in the Judeo-Christian God is a unique, but both Father Creator, Word (Word) and Spirit, which is not true of the Mohammedan culture which, however, considers Jews and Christians as "infidels." The God of Jews and Christians is both Father Creator, Word and Spirit. Or more specifically, it is one God in three persons, three relationships, Father, Son and Holy Spirit to Christians. And one God in three relationships, Elohim (Creator and Father), elohim debar (His Word) and ruah Elohim (Spirit of God to the prophets) for Jews.
-
In reality, the Evangelicals that I mentioned two paragraphs above are not the only ones to participate in the work of ideas on these issues. Catholics, too, are involved. Various Authors, Jews and gentiles, including Catholics, have participated in work on the ideas of Judeo-Christian God, like Claude Tresmontant Judith Cabaud, Paul Johnson, Roy Schoeman and Eugenio Zolli among others. French media did not report doing practically, among other reasons, because the Catholic writers who are now involved in this work are generally Italian-ideas (ex: Sandro Magister) and English (eg George Weigel).
-
Thus, Sandro Magister, an article entitled "There is a strange prophet in the White House," article published on http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/ , writes: "His name is Barack Obama and his messianic vision resembles that of Joachim of Flora. It is even believed in the Vatican. Here is the story of a fake that still some truth. The storm unleashed these days by the statements of Barack H. Obama on the draft of the Cordoba Institute of New York - to build a mosque within walking distance of the Twin Towers destroyed September 11, 2001 by Muslim terrorists - has brought to the forefront a question What is the overall view of the current president of the United States of America? Initially, Aug. 13, Obama told the hundreds of Muslims he had invited to the White House to celebrate the beginning of Ramadan: "As a citizen and president, I think Muslims have the right practice their religion as much as anyone else in this country. This includes the right to build a place of worship and community center on private land in the southern part of Manhattan, in accordance with the laws and regulations local. That, America, and our commitment to the religious freedom must be steadfast ".
-
" But the next day under fire responses, he felt compelled to backtrack, not on principle but on the particular case: "I did not comment - and I will not - about the wisdom of the decision to build a mosque here, and I made a very specific comment about a law that dates back to the founding of our country. And I think it is very important, albeit difficult, that we not lose sight of who we are as a people and what are our values. "Those who Critics have been easier for Obama to highlight this oscillation of Judgement he displayed. This is also the latest in a long series and makes uncertain the decision that we had on him. Obama is also an enigma to the Catholic Church. He has been enthusiastic judgments and convictions ruthless, which www.chiesa reported occasionally. Among the accolades, one that was made by Cardinal Georges Cottier, a year ago, has made much noise in the Vatican. Among the curses include those of Archbishop Michael Schooyans and Archbishop Roland Minnerath. From the first, Obama is a new Constantine, head of a modern empire useful for the church. For the other two is a false messiah that must be unmasked. "
-
"Differences about it also divide the American Catholic bishops - whose leaders are highly critical of some of Obama's choice in the fields of life and family - and the Vatican secretariat of state , which shows more understanding, as well as "L'Osservatore Romano." Two recently published books in Italy studying the personality of Obama with special attention to its overall vision the world, which is the most interesting question for the Church. The first was written by a journalist of Radio Vatican, Alessandro Gisotti, which has a deep understanding of America. The second, sponsored Martino Cervo, editor of the newspaper "Libero", and Mattia Ferrara, Washington correspondent of the newspaper "il Foglio." These two books demonstrate, through a rich and accurate documentation, that the vision of Obama is indeed full of contradictions. A clear example of inconsistency appears when Obama cites the Protestant theologian Reinhold Niebuhr as one of its instigators. Niebuhr (1892-1971), a great admirer and performer St. Augustine, was a master of "realism" in international politics. He asserts the primacy of national interest and the balance of power in a humanity deeply marked by evil. "
-
"Niebuhr defined democracy as" a preliminary search for solutions to intractable problems. " And in a famous prayer he said: "May God grant me the serenity to accept what I can not change!". Quite the opposite, therefore, the messianic rhetoric that pervades the speeches of Obama, the complete opposite of his announcement of the coming permanent a "new era", a "new beginning", an "age of peace," a redeemed world because "Yes We Can". In his book, recalls that the Catholic Gisotti George Weigel, a famous biographer of John Paul II, showed that the vision of Obama is really "the perfect example of this kind of utopianism against which Niebuhr, with his deep sense of the fragility of history and capacity for self-destruction of human beings, fought for three decades. " Obama's speeches seem related, rather than Niebuhr, the utopia of a famous medieval monk and theologian Joachim of Fiore, who prophesied an "age of the Spirit" after those, age, Father and Son, a third and final age of peace and justice, where humanity would know more divisions, even among religions. The kinship of ideas between Obama and Joachim of Fiore is so strong that in 2008, the world's media claimed that the future president of the United States had referred to him three times in speeches related to his campaign . This information was so credible, March 27, 2009, the Franciscan Raniero Cantalamessa, preacher official pontifical household, took it in one of his sermons in Lent before the pope and the Roman curia. "
-
"Actually the news was false. Obama never mentioned Joachim of Fiore in any of his speeches. In their book, Ferraresi Cervo and accurately reconstruct the genesis and history of this fake journalism, in which the preacher Vatican has also been caught. Father Cantalamessa was arrested by the online agency of the Bishops Conference of the United States, "Catholic News Service, because he recalled in his sermon that Joachim of Flora was a heretic. He replied "Someone has used my words to insinuate that I think Obama is a heretic, like Joachim, while I have a deep appreciation for the new president of the United States." So while Obama did not mention Joachim of Flora, there is one similarity between the rhetoric of the first and the second vision. The cardinal and theologian Henri de Lubac would have easily added Obama to the large body of "spiritual seed of Joachim of Flora", as he devoted a large test, thirty years ago, the influence exerted until Today in the utopia of the monk within and outside of Catholicism. But the contradiction reappears again when comparing Obama's speech with its concrete. The troops are still there in Afghanistan, Guantanamo will not close its doors, federal funds are earmarked for abortion ... Day after day, operational decisions of the president are opposed to what has been announced. They always return to a "future" inaccurate realization of the messianic utopia that his speeches continue to offer ".
-
"The" new era "of Joachim of Flora has not started in 1260 as he had announced. But the dream has survived. And Obama again proposes today as part of his duties as the most powerful man in the world. Cervo and Ferrara wrote: "The fact that the words of Joachim were put into the mouth of Obama is a touch of irony that all seem to be a sign of destiny. Inspiration millenarian Joachimite, totalitarian basically cancels inexorably limited character of human nature to entrust the salvation of man to man himself or at least to one who shows himself capable of embodying the desire for change. Whether a king , a philosopher, half a saint or the President of the United States, this does not change much "(End by Sandro Magister's article entitled "There is a strange prophet in the White House" published on http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/ ).
