Jesus (the real one) said Satan will fall from heaven like lightning. (Luke Ch. 10, vs. 18). The ancient Hebrew (Arabic) word for lighting is "Baraq", pronounced "Bar-Rawk."
Satan said he'd reach the height of the heavens (Isah Ch. 18, vs. 12-19). The Hebrew word for high place or heaven is "Baw-Maw" pronounced "Bamah."
"Waw" or 'Vaw", pronounced "O" is a conjunction connecting the two.
. "Baw-Rak Vaw Maw-Maw" or Baraq O Bamah.
So, Satan will come to earth like lightning, and claim to be God himself.
The left has it all backwards, but prophacy seems to have it right.

...again
Actually, ???? (baraq) means 'specular' or 'lustrous' And it is pronounced bah-rahq. Not a hint of squawk about it.
And in Hebrew, #heaven' is ????- 'Shemaim'
(B'reshit bara' Elohim et haAretz ve et ha shemaim - In the beginning God created heaven and earth...)
Your ignorance is truly matched by your willful use of an ineffective invective again the man who was voted buy YOU, the people.
Get some sense before the men in white coats catch up with you.
"The ancient Hebrew (Arabic) word for lighting is "Baraq", pronounced "Bar-Rawk.""
Oh well, it's not Obama then as his first name is pronounced Barack.
But that was interesting. Keep trying!
In what way is Obama like lightning? He's more of a disappointment, as he hasn't done much to restore the Global Economy that Dubbya destroyed.
I seriosly doubt that heaven is BawMaw, it sounds like really childish bawling.
"So, Satan will come to earth like lightning, and claim to be God himself. "
By your logic, how can you be sure you weren't worshipping Satan instead of God? Then, also by the logic of your ilk, wouldn't you be damned?
Just a random thought.
@UHM
Indeed. With a middle name like that, how could he not be evil?
You'd think from the right-wing reaction to Obama's presidency that his full name was Barack HitlerPolPotStalinMengeleVladTheImpalerHussein Obama McSatanson.
Ronald=6 letters
Wilson=6 letters
Reagan=6 letters
666! Oh my God! And before you accuse me of reductio ad absurdum this was an actual line of "reasoning" using during Reagan's terms in office. Pretty much every single bad or charismatic leader in the world since the start of Christianity has had a turn being the anti-Christ.

Hmm... is it possible to stick Robert Mugabe in there somewhere too?
"prophacy"
If I were you, I'd be less concerned about politics, and more concerned about gettimg a proper education.
...oh, and watching/reading BBC News/Reuters.com wouldn't do any harm, in educating you about the wider world out there on Planet Reality, than through Faux News' bile-tinted spectacles.
@J. James
"And since when has Obama claimed to be divine?"
He doesn't need to:

If I were female, and he wasn't married, I'd do him in a hot nanosecond. Can't fault your tastes, Michelle! b^_^d
@ Raised by Horses:
You mean it isn't?
The antichrist will pretend to be new, which can also be said "neo". He'll be very convincing, and someone who convinces others of things for self gain is a "con". He'll secretly want everyone to "serve" him. He's against all goodness and morals, and someone with no morals is "A"-moral. Finally, as part of their service he'll want everyone to give him gifts, or a "tithe", which sounds a bit like "tive".
So the antichrist will surely be a Neo-Con-Serve-A-Tive.
Amazing what you can conclude from random mangling of words isn't it.
Creating prophecies by translating names into ancient languages must be a very absorbing pastime. I'd like to bet that the name "Mitt Romney" means "abject failure" in Sumerian (if you mispronounce the words slightly and interpret the meanings very loosely and metaphorically).
Then again, he's not going to be president, so there's no point.
EDIT:

Nice one!

Given his battles against the most obstructionist Congress on record, Barack Hussein Obama IS the underdog.
But that doesn't make him wrong.
So, basically, you're saying that Barack Obama means "lightning from heaven".
That's actually ... pretty badass!
"Baw-Rak Vaw Maw-Maw" or Baraq O Bamah.
So, Satan will come to earth like lightning, and claim to be God himself.
I'd like to throw this stuff in these crakpots' faces in +4 years from now when Obama - unlike Baby Bush - is earning big bucks on the Elderly Statesmen speech giving circuit, having been president of the United States of America for eight years.
What will they say when nothing happens and America isn't devoured by some seven-headed beast?
Nothing. They'll be too busy benefiting from the blessings of Obamacare.
Actually, the President's first name is derived from the Semitic root B-R-K, which means "Bless." It's the same source as the Hebrew/Jewish name Baruch.
The common Semitic term for "lightning" comes from the Semitic root B-R-Q, which means "flash" or "sparkle." The last two consonants represent totally different Semitic letters (in Hebrew, Kaph and Qoph).
The Hebrew word "bamah" does mean "a high place," but I'm not familiar with any instances where it means "heaven." The usual ancillary meaning of "bamah" is "a pagan (non-Jewish) altar."
Just some helpful notes from a guy who loves Semitic languages (the whole triconsonantal root deal is just totally cool).
The dangers of bad etymology: the closest cognate in Hebrew to Barack is Baruch, which means "blessed". So that makes this person an idiot. Well, being a freeper already told us that, but still...
concernedaboutpolitics?
As a Christian should you not be concerned that the things that come out of your mouth are true.
True and not ideological, nonsensical rhetoric?
There is a way to discern objective truth. It's called reason. Maybe you should look in to it, it has a rich and wonderful history.
Confused?
