Is Related to President George Bush 3Barack Obama took the world by surprise by winning the Presi-

dential election on November 4. An even greater surprise was tofind out that he is related to both President Bush and Vice PresidentDick Cheney. Many are calling him the world's long awaited mes-siah, while others think he could be the Antichrist.

The Dilemma of Watchfulness 8Gary Stearman gives us a lesson in Church History. Today, many

large churches have quietly returned to the general belief that thechurch will convert the world, giving rise to a golden age whichbrings in the kingdom. It also holds that the church becomes theredeemed Israel, inheritor of the ancient promises. To believethis, one must turn aside every prophetic Scripture that calls for alatter-day collapse of morality, numerous international wars, naturalupheavals, and domination by an evil world order that comes topower after the great world war predicted in Ezekiel 38.

Light on Prophecy 13We are taking a step back in time. It is Thursday morning, May

30, 1918. We are attending a prophecy conference, sponsoredby some of the world's leading scholars on eschatology, beingheld at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. The 3,300-seatauditorium is full as we prepare to hear Rev. P. W. Philpott, pas-tor of the Gospel Tabernacle of Hamilton, Ontario. He speaks onthe subject: "Will There Be Any Tears in Heaven?" These areclassic sermons preached just six months after the liberation ofJerusalem on December 9, 1917.

Itlooks more like the rise of a revived Babylonian religion.

President-Elect Barack ObamaIs Related to President Bush

By J. R. Church

Today many in America and around theworld are rejoicing over the election of Ba-rack Hussein Obama to the highest politi-cal office in the United States. He is the ul-

I timate dream-come-trueof African Americanswho have long foughtto be recognized as free

J co-equal citizens afterg early America's terri-

bly shameful stigma ofslavery was forced upon

' them. The old spiritualsong, "We Shall Overcome," has been re-alized at last.

Oprah Winfrey said, "...I've sort ofbeen, like, pulsating all day, and now I feellike I'm, like, in full-vibrational-mode ...It feels like there's a shift in conscious-ness. It feels like something really big andbold has happened here..."

Simon Rosenberg, president of the NewDemocratic Network, said, "I don't thinkwe're going to see the restoration of an oldpolitical age, but the ushering in of a newage. They're going to rewrite the rules."

Russel Simmons, founder of the hip-hop music record company, DefJam, said,"Obama's election as president is a beau-tiful testament to the American collectiveconsciousness that is flowering. This moreloving consciousness will be necessary toprotect us from some of our hurtful humanchoices and tendencies."

Kimberley Ashley, a Republican, said,"It's not a typical answer but I believe hehas a higher consciousness. 1 think he'smore spiritually awakened and that he'llmake different choices based on that andnot on external forces."

Daniel Clark, 41, described Obama'swin as "magical." He said, "It's like a spir-itual cleansing.

Louis Farrakhan, leader of the BlackMuslim's "Nation of Islam," called Ba-rack Obama the messiah. He said, "Youare the instrument that God is gonna use

During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama made the following statement:"A light will shine down from somewhere. It will light upon you. You'll experience anepiphany and you will say to yourself, 'I have to vote for Barack.'"

to bring about universal change. And thatis why Barack has captured the youth. Andhe has involved young people in a politi-cal process that they didn't care anythingabout at the time. That's a sign. When themessiah speaks, the youth will hear. Andthe messiah is absolutely here."

Ted Howard, a 64-year-old African-American, said, "It's more spiritual thanpolitical."

Jesse Jackson, Jr., son of Rev. JesseJackson, said, "I cried all night. I'm goingto be crying for the next four years. WhatBarack Obama has accomplished is thesingle most extraordinary event that hasoccurred in the 232 years of the nation'spolitical history. The event itself is so ex-traordinary that another chapter could beadded to the Bible to chronicle its signifi-cance." Jesse Jackson, Jr., is a Democraticmember of the U.S. House of Representa-tives representing Illinois's Second con-gressional district, which includes part of

the Chicago South Side.We can understand and even feel the en-

thusiasm of people of African descent, notonly across America, but around the world.In a sense, we rejoice with them. But,when Jesse Jackson Jr. suggested that weadd another chapter to the Bible, he wenttoo far. The world does not need anotherchapter added to God's completed collec-tion of divinely inspired Scripture. Perhapshe simply meant that the world should ac-cept what the prophecies of Scripture longago predicted — thus suggesting that theBible's messiah has finally arrived.

Barack Obama's Royal RootsI'm afraid the world will not auto-

to be no light at the end of this world'sdarkening tunnel, because Barack Obamais related to President George W. Bush!Barack Obama and President Bush are 10thcousins, once removed, linked by SamuelHinckley of Cape Cod, who died in 1662.Does that name, Hinckley, sound familiar?

When John Warnock Hinckley, Jr., at-tempted to assassinate President RonaldReagan in Washington, D.C. on March30, 1981, the Houston Post reported thatHinckley is the son of one of George H. W.Bush's political and financial supporters inhis 1980 presidential primary campaignagainst Ronald Reagan. His elder brother,Scott Hinckley, and Vice President Bush'sson, Neil Bush, had a dinner appointmentscheduled for the next day.

The Associated Press published the fol-lowing short article on March 31, 1981:

"The family of the man charged withtrying to assassinate President Reagan isacquainted with the family of Vice-Pres-ident George Bush and had made largecontributions to his political campaign ...Scott Hinckley, brother of John W. Hinck-ley Jr. was to have dined tonight in Den-ver at the home of Neil Bush, one of theVice-President's sons ... The Houston Postsaid it was unable to reach Scott Hinck-ley, vice-president of his father's Denver-based firm, Vanderbilt Energy Corpora-tion, for comment. Neil Bush lives inDenver, where he works for Standard OilCompany of Indiana. In 1978, Neil Bushserved as campaign manager for his broth-er, George W. Bush, the vice-president'seldest son, who made an unsuccessful bidfor Congress. Neil lived in Lubbock, Tex-as, throughout much of 1978, where JohnHinckley lived from 1974 through 1980."The would-be assassin, John W. Hinckley,attended Texas Tech University during hisstay in Lubbock.

Now we learn that the Hinckley fam-ily are more than friends — they may becousins — cousins to both the Bush familyand Barack Obama's family on his moth-er's side.

Obama's distant presidential cousins in-clude President George W. Bush and hisfather, George H. W. Bush, Gerald Ford,Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman andJames Madison.

The New England Historic Genealogi-cal Society released their genealogy reportafter tracing the family trees of the presi-dential candidates. It is a fact that BarackObama, the son of a white woman fromKansas and a black man from Kenya, isrelated to several presidents across bothparty lines. Founded in 1845, the New-England Historic Genealogical Society is

Barack Obama are eighth cousins."Mrs. Cheney said that it was "an amaz-

ing American story that one ancestor .. .could be responsible down the family linefor lives that have taken such different andvaried paths."

Then asked if she supported Obama shequickly said, "No."

According to Chicago Sun-Times, "TheObama camp made light of the fam-ily ties. 'Every family has a black sheep,'said spokeswoman Jen Psaki, with tonguefirmly planted in cheek."

The Chicago Sun-Times revealed thegenealogical link in early September,claiming that the shared ancestors wereMareen and Susannah Duvall, 17th cen-tury immigrants from France. The Duvallsare Obama's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great(9)-grandparents,and Dick Cheney's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great(8)-grandparents,the paper said.

Jesse Jackson's CommentRev. Jesse Jackson, appointed in 1966

by Civil Rights leader Martin Luther Kingto be the national director of the SouthernChristian Leadership Conference (SCLC),was caught on camera with happy tearscoursing down his cheeks at the Nov. 4,Tuesday Night Obama Victory Rally inChicago's Grant Park. The New York Postquoted the veteran civil rights leader as hav-ing said, "Although Zionists who have con-trolled American policy for decades remainstrong, they will lose much of their cloutwhen Obama enters the White House."

Congratulations from Iran

Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadina-jad, congratulated Obama on his electionvictory, saying, "I congratulate you on be-ing able to attract the majority of votes ofthe participants of the election. You knowthe opportunities bestowed upon people byGod are short-lived. I hope you make themost of the chance of service and leave agood name by preferring people's real in-terests and justice to the insatiable demandsof a selfish and indecent minority. Thegreat Iranian nation welcomes real, basicand fair changes in behavior and policies,especially in this region. You are generallyexpected to make a fast and clear responseto the demands for basic... change in U.S.domestic and foreign policy, which allpeople in the world and Americans wanton top of your agenda." The Iranian presi-dent said Obama is expected to replaceU.S. "militaristic policies, occupation...and the imposition of unfair and discrimi-natory relations with an attitude based onjustice, respect for nations' rights and non-interference. The US government's inter-ference should be limited to that country'sgeographical boundaries."

Congratulations from HamasAhmed Yousef, Hamas' chief political

adviser in the Gaza Strip, told WND in anexclusive interview, "We believe the elec-tion of Sen. Barack Obama is an 'historicvictory' for the world and an opportunityto change U.S. foreign policy toward en-gagement with America's foes."

Yousef, speaking by cell phone fromGaza, said Hamas is drafting a letterof congratulation to be sent directly toObama. He said the current draft of the let-ter praises the president-elect as 'anotherJohn F. Kennedy, or great Roosevelt.' 'Wewant to be one of the first to congratulatehim,'Yousef said. 'This is an historic day,a turning point. I think this is the very firsttime in history that one country's electionconcerned everyone everywhere all over[the] world,' said Yousef. 'Everybody islooking forward to Obama's change, for achange in the U.S. policy, particularly inthe Israeli-Palestinian equation, which isthe mother of all conflicts.'"

Michelle Obama's Jewish RootsSome in Israel are worried that Barack

Obama may forsake the Jews in favor ofthe Palestinians, or that he is somehow asecret Muslim. But, there is a bright noteto consider.

Obama's wife is related to Rabbi Capers

Barack Obama is the symbol of all immigrants who have come to live in the landof the free and the home of the brave. In this oil painting, he is depicted as the onewho is worthy of replacing the Statue of Liberty, seen here in disarray.

Funnye (pronounced "Fuh-NAY"), one ofthe nation's most prominent black rabbis.He and Michelle Obama are cousins. Fun-ny e's mother, Verdelle Robinson Funnye,and Michelle Obama's paternal grandfa-ther, Frasier Robinson, Jr., were brotherand sister.

Rabbi Funnye is the chief rabbi of theBeth Shalom B'nai Zaken Ethiopian He-brew Congregation in southwest Chicago.He is well known in Jewish circles for act-ing as a bridge between mainstream Jewry

and the much smaller, and largely sepa-rate, world of black Jewish congregations,sometimes known as black Hebrews, orIsraelites. He has often urged the largerJewish community to be more acceptingof Jews who are not white.

In this presidential campaign, Funnye'sfamous relative gives an unexpected twistto the relationship between Barack Obamaand the Jewish community. On the onehand, Jewish political organizers, votersand donors — including some of the city's



wealthiest and most prominent families —played an essential role in Obama's rise topower in Chicago.

Rabbi Funnye told the Jewish publica-tion, Forward, "I know that her grandfatherand her father and my mom and all of ourrelatives that are now deceased would be sovery, very proud of both of them." Funnye,56, has known Michelle Obama (bora Mi-chelle Robinson), 44, since she was born.Both grew up on the South Side of Chi-cago, and Funnye's mother and Obama'sfather enjoyed a close relationship.

"Her father was like the glue of our fam-ily," Funnye said. "He always wanted tokeep the family very connected and to stayin touch with each other." Funnye and Mi-chelle saw each other several times a yearwhen they were growing up, mostly atfamily functions and on occasional visitsto each other's homes. Michelle's mother,Marian Robinson, recalled Funnye and hisfamily coming over for visits and said thathe and her children were "as close as cous-ins could be."

The two fell out of touch when they grewolder, but they reconnected years laterwhen Obama was working for the Univer-sity of Chicago and Funnye was leading alocal social service organization called TheBlue Gargoyle. Funnye also worked withBarack Obama, who, as a state senator,came and spoke at events for the organi-zation. When Barack and Michelle Obamamarried, Funnye and his family attendedthe wedding. Funnye said that he and theObamas have not been in touch since thepresidential campaign began."

Rahm Emanuel's Jewish RootsHere is another interesting note:

Obama's first appointment went to RahmEmanuel for White House Chief of Staff.Rahm Israel Emanuel was bom in Chi-cago. His first name, Rahm, is Hebrewfor "high" or "lofty," while his last name,Emanuel, means "God is with us." Accord-ing to his father, his son is the namesakeof Rahamim, a family friend and memberof a Jewish paramilitary group who waskilled. Rahm's surname was adopted byhis family in 1933 after Rahm's paternaluncle, Emanuel Auerbach, was killed in askirmish with Arabs in Jerusalem.

Emanuel's father, Benjamin M. Eman-uel, was born in Jerusalem and was a for-mer member of the Jewish militia, Irgun,which operated from 1931 to 1948 duringthe British Mandate of Palestine. The com-mander of the Irgun militia eventually be-came a famous Israeli statesman — PrimeMinister Menachem Begin.

Is Obama the Antichrist?According to Google Trends, and a first-

hand account by having access to the logfiles for a site on page one in Google forthe term, a disturbing massive surge intraffic for the keyword "antichrist" is be-ing reported. A Google spokesman said,"Take it for what it's worth but this is aproblem that we have never seen in poli-tics to this extent before."

President Bush's Royal BloodlineFor those of you who have read our

book, Guardians of the Grail, you may beinterested to learn that President GeorgeBush is related to all 60 royal familiesin Europe. So said the Washington Times(July 6, 1988). Bush is a fourth cousin fif-teen times removed of King Ferdinand 1,the first king of United Spain and his wifeIsabella. They are the royal couple whosent Christopher Columbus on his voy-age across the Atlantic in 1492. So saidHarold Brooks-Baker, an analyst of royallineages.

According to Author Gary Boyd Roberts,in his book, Ancestors of American Presi-dents (1989, page 294) Bush's relationshipwith Ferdinand I and Isabella makes him an"ancestor of all later kings of Spain; of allHoly Roman and Austrian Emperors (theHabsburg dynasty) beginning with CharlesV; of all kings of France and Great Britainbeginning with Louis XIII and Charles II,respectively; of all Prussian and Germanemperors; and of all Russian czars begin-ning with Alexander I."

Perhaps that relationship with the Hab-sburg dynasty was the underlying reasonwhy Prescott Bush (grandfather of GeorgeW.) and his bank Brown Brothers Ham-man, financed Adolf Hitler's rise to power.According to an FBI report to FranklinD. Roosevelt, Hitler was the illegitimateson of the Habsburg emperor and Hitler'smother, who worked as a maid in the royalpalace.

George Bush is also related to severalother U.S. Presidents: George Washing-ton, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce,Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, Ruther-

Continued from Page 7ford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, GroverCleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, WilliamHoward Taft, Calvin Coolidge, HerbertHoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, RichardNixon, and Gerald Ford.

But that's not all. President Bush is alsorelated to Vice President Dan Quayle, whoin turn, is related to 21 of Britain's 26dukes, according to Brooks-Baker.

First Lady, Barbara Pierce Bush, is alsoone of her husband's distant cousins. BothBarbara and George H. W. Bush are descen-dants of President Franklin Pierce. Bush'sAmerican roots go back to Francis Cooke,one of the signers of the Mayflower Com-pact. These are impressive royal roots!

Presidential RootsIn recent years, Americans have shown

an interest in genealogies — family trees.Many of America's presidents descendedfrom European royalty. George Washing-ton descended from the same family thatproduced the present English royal fam-ily. Furthermore, many families of royaldescent living in Washington's time in-termarried, producing occupants of 1600Pennsylvania Avenue. Believe it or not,research has proven that an unusual num-ber of American presidents were related toeach other.

George H. W. Bush is directly relatedto fifteen former presidents and is a "nearkin" to several others. The term "near kin"means that he is related to a president who,in turn, is related to another president.Among the relatives of George Bush areGerald Ford and the late Richard Nixon.Others relatives included George Wash-ington, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce,Abraham Lincoln, William Taft, CalvinCoolidge, Herbert Hoover, and FranklinD. Roosevelt. Furthermore, George Bushwas kin to the late Princess Diana, motherof the next king of England.

Don't miss this — George Bush is relat-ed to both Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.Nixon and Ford are from the same family!It seems rather strange that Nixon wouldchoose a relative to succeed him as presi-dent, but he did. Furthermore, Jimmy Cart-er, the Democrat who won the presidentialrace against Republican Gerald Ford wasrelated to Richard Nixon who, in turn, wasrelated to Ford! That makes Jimmy Cartera "near kin" to Gerald Ford, his opponentin the race for the White House. It seemsrather suspicious that a sort of "royal" dy-nasty seems to be in control of both partiesand America's royal residence.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's family treeincluded sixteen presidents: George

Washington, John Q. Adams, Van Buren,Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, Grant, Hayes,Garfield, Cleveland, Teddy Roosevelt,Taft, Coolidge, Nixon, Ford, and Bush.

Gerald Ford was born Leslie LynchKing Jr., in 1913. He took his stepfather'sname as a child. King/Ford's family treeincludes fourteen presidents: MillardFillmore, Abraham Lincoln, U. S. Grant,

1 Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield,Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison,William Howard Taft, Warren Harding,Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Frank-lin D. Roosevelt, Richard Nixon andGeorge Bush.

Bill Clinton's Royal RootsIn an Associated Press article published

in The Daily Oklahoman, October 28,1996, Harold Brooks-Baker, director ofBurkes Peerage, a London based publish-ing house that traces the lineage of royaland noble families, said that Bill Clintonand Bob Dole had more in common thanwanting to be president. They are dis-tant cousins! However, Clinton has bluerblood, giving him an election edge.

Bill Clinton was born William JeffersonBIythe, but took his stepfather's name as ateenager. Clinton's ancestry can be tracedback, on his mother's side, to King HenryIII who ruled England from 1227 to 1272.He is descended from King Robert I ofFrance.

Furthermore, he is related to every Scot-tish monarch and to the current Britishroyal family. Clinton's royal roots includeseveral medieval monarchs and Simon deMontford, a statesman and soldier underKing Henry III. Through de Montford,Clinton is related to every ancient aristo-cratic family in Britain today.

In 1992, we called Burkes Peerage andasked if they had done any research intoClinton's lineage. We were told that theyhad not done a genealogical search on hisancestry. It seemed strange to us at thetime that they denied knowing anythingabout Clinton. Shortly afterward, we cameacross an AP story that linked Clinton to aGypsy king — citing Burkes Peerage asa source. We again called Burkes Peer-age and repeated our request. Again, theytold us that no work had been done. That'swhen we read the article to the personon the phone, naming Harold Brookes-Baker as a source. She then admitted thatthey had done some work on the geneal-ogy. She said we should talk with HaroldBrooks-Baker, himself. She requested wefax a letter and request a reply.

We did as she asked. Two days later,having received no reply, we called again.

This time, we were able to get Mr. Har-old Brooks-Baker on the phone. He askedwhy we wanted the information, and saidhe would have to clear our request with theWhite House. He said, "It's a very touchysubject." He talked like there might besomething to hide.

Bill Clinton's family goes back to Wil-liam Henry Harrison and Benjamin Har-rison, making him related to Gerald Fordand Jimmy Carter. His kinship to Fordmakes him "near kin" to Richard Nixonand George Bush. Small world, isn't it?

The Merovingian ConnectionHistorians claim that the royal houses

of Europe are the descendants of Meroveewho, in turn, descended from a so-called"marriage" of Jesus Christ and MaryMagdalene. However, Merovee claimed tohave descended from the Trojans, whoseroots lay in the Spartans. According toHomer's Iliad, the Spartans were firstcalled Danaans, and hailed from Phoeni-cia, home of the ancient Israelite tribe ofDanites. Rabbinical writings, dating fromthe Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs(circa. 150 B.C.), suggest that the Anti-christ will rise from the tribe of Dan.

Irenaeus (c. A.D. 180) wrote: "Jeremiahdoes not merely point out the Antichrist'ssudden coming, but he even indicates thetribe from which he will come, when hesays, 'We will hear the voice of this swifthorses from Dan "' (Jeremiah 8:16).

Hippolyrus (c. A.D. 200) wrote: "Hesays, 'Dan is a lion's whelp' (Deuteron-omy 33:22). And in naming the tribe ofDan, he clearly declared the tribe fromwhich the Antichrist is destined to spring.Just as Christ comes from the tribe of Ju-dah, so the Antichrist is to come from thetribe of Dan."

The Danite connection with Europeanroyalty offers a distinct possibility that thefuture Antichrist will arise from the royalroots of Rome and Greece. It is not nec-essary that the Antichrist be from France.He could be from any of the nations men-tioned, and still be a Merovingian, whosefamily genealogy extends back to theFrench king Merovee. He could be fromEuropean royalty or even an Americanpresident. Only time will tell.

Early theologians accepted the notionthat Danite women consorted with the Ne-philim, offspring of the fallen angels whoinhabited the country around Mount Her-man. If so, then the "seed" of the serpentmentioned in Genesis 3:15, could continueto proliferate down through the ages in theroyal offspring of Israel's lost tribe — theDanites.



Obama's African Family Lineage

Now that we have learned about Obama'sroyal "Danite" roots on his mother's side,we are intrigued with the possibility thathis African father might have roots in theblack Jews of East Africa. The Republicof Kenya is a country in East Africa. It isbordered by Ethiopia on the north, Soma-lia to the northeast, Tanzania on the south,Uganda on the west, and Sudan to thenorthwest, with the Indian Ocean runningalong the southeast border. Further to thesouth, along the border between South Af-rica and Zimbabwe, lies the territory of theLemba tribe — a tribe with DNA proof thatthey are from the tribes of Judah and Levi.Kenya lies between Ethiopia, home of theEthiopian Jews, and Zimbabwe, home ofthe Lemba tribe. It is entirely possible thatmany people with genetic links to the royaltribe of Judah live throughout Kenya.

As of now, we have no specific geneticinformation, but we are told that King Sol-omon of the royal tribe of Judah marriedthe Queen of Sheba and produced a son,Menelik, who returned to Ethiopia afterreceiving his formal education in Jerusa-lem. By the way, Solomon was the son ofBath-sheba (meaning "house of Sheba"). Itis entirely possible that Solomon's motherwas of Ethiopian origin, as well.

According to the BritAm.org website,Judaism expects a messiah, whose fatheris from the lineage of David and Solomon,and whose mother is from the tribe of Dan.Israeli author Yair Davidy writes:

"A Midrash states that Samson the leg-endary judge hero had a Danite father anda mother from Judah, whereas the futureMessiah will have a father from Judah and amother from Dan" (Genesis Rabah 98:13).

The rabbis expect their messiah to bea mere mortal, who has received a divineanointing from God after the manner ofMoses. They do not believe that he willbe deity. However, the Apostle Paul saidthat the future Antichrist will sit "in thetemple of God, showing himself that he isGod" (II Thes. 2:4). With the Antichrist'sbetrayal, religious Judaism will be in dis-array. The orthodox will leave Jerusalem,many fleeing to the wilderness to escapethe Antichrist.

The Human Genome ProjectThe release of the Human Genome Proj-

ect in the summer of the year 2000 wasone of the most powerful moments in thehistory of mankind. We remember theexcited celebration among scientists andphilosophers, as this vaunted project con-cluded its work. The prodigious labor of

A young Barack Hussein Obama withhis grandmother in Kenya, Africa.mapping the human genetic code had beenproceeding for years. The final result wasa long book of DNA sequences that werecalled "scrolls containing the instructionsfor life."

Wendy Wipple, in "The History of theWorld in the Molecules of Life " writes:

"The discovery of DNA as the blueprintof life in the 1950s was the starting blockof a race to understand the molecular basisof life. One of the more intriguing findingsto follow was that specific pieces of DNAcan be used to study human history. Genet-ic anthropologists are now busy decodingthat history, written in the molecules of lifesince the beginning of time. It is a recordbeing deciphered only in our generation,and one, which confirms the history of manrecorded in Scripture in amazing detail.

"Genetic anthropology is conducted us-ing the Y-chromosome and mitochondrialDNA, two segments that have unique prop-erties that facilitate studies of multigenera-tional inheritance. Y-chromosome DNA ispassed only from father to son; similarly,mitochondrial DNA is passed only fromthe mother to her offspring. In addition,both accumulate changes at a predictablerate, producing genetic 'bread crumbs' thatmake it possible to follow these markers asa population moved around the globe.

"Further, Y-chromosome studies showthat the Jewish people were, in fact, glob-ally dispersed, yet retained genetic andnational identity to a remarkable degree.Jews from Europe, the Middle East, andNorthern Africa shared almost identical ge-netic profiles, with only slight differences,which nonetheless allow the Diaspora tobe traced, showing clear westward move-ment in both Europe and Northern Africaafter A.D. 70. One of the more intriguingapplications of Y-chromosome and mi-tochondrial DNA testing is its ongoing

revelation of the depths of the dispersal,confirming long-held traditions of Jewishorigin among certain isolated tribes. TheSouth African Lemba's claims to Judaicheritage, for example, were largely ig-nored until genetic profiling finally dem-onstrated a high prevalence of the CohenModal Haplotype (CMH) among theirmale members. Numerous similar popula-tions, spread across the globe, have beengenetically identified as descendants ofIsrael as well."

"God's promise to keep His peoplethroughout their exile (and to gather themto Himself before the end times) is alsobeing documented. Genetic analysis hasshown that hidden Jews fled the SpanishEdict of Expulsion in 1492 in the crewsof Spanish ships bound for the New Worldand spread their descendants therein, con-firmed genetically most recently in long-term Hispanic residents of New Mexicoand in the Melungeons, a mystery popu-lation in Tennessee who appear to bedescendants of the earliest Spanish land-ings along the east coast, including thevanished colony at Roanoke in the early1500s. As Jews around the world reclaimtheir history, genetic confirmation of theirheritage is being employed to both con-firm their heritage and support their repa-triation, creating the ingathering of Jewishexiles predicted by the Bible. We are see-ing prophecy fulfilled before our eyes!

"As fascinating as the detailed parallelof DNA analysis with the history of theworld written in Scripture is, the most sig-nificant application of the technology maybe yet to come, fulfilling prophetic aspectsof the future. As exciting as providing agenetic way to verify the credentials of theMessiah may be, the possibility looms thatthe technology could be misapplied. Will aworld leader emerge whose (only recentlypossible) genetic profile can confirm a val-id claim to the Davidic throne? Only timewill tell. But DNA, the molecule of life,will continue to write the story."

ConclusionIf Obama has Jewish roots by way of

Kenya, he may be keeping it quiet, so asnot to disturb his chances of warming upto the Islamic world, dividing Jerusalem,creating a Palestinian State, and movingthe world toward global government.

Let me be clear. We are not convincedthat Barack Obama is the Antichrist. Weare only reporting what we have learnedabout the royal roots on his mother's sideof the family. Only time will tell — as theworld moves toward the onset of the Trib-ulation Period. ̂

Foreshadowing a World Leader?

The Great Altar of ZeusBy J. R. Church

There is a cryptic reference to Satan inRevelation 2:13, which demands our atten-tion. Jesus had John to pass along one ofhis prophetic letters to Pergamos (also re-ferred to as Pergamum), in which He says,"7 know thy works, and where thou dwell-est, even where Satan s seat is." Whilecommending the Christians at Pergamosfor their faithfulness in trying times, Jesusplainly states that the Great Altar to Zeus atPergamos was the "seat" or throne of Sa-tan. It was built in the second-century BC,not as a temple, but as an open-air altar.Eumenes II, king of Pergamos, was proba-bly the one who built it. He was the personwho appointed Antiochus IV Epiphanes asking of the Seleucid Syrian Empire. It isthought that Antiochus went to Pergamosand worshipped at the Altar of Zeus.

I recently read a blog on the Internet byEl Gallo, whom I have to admit, I had nev-er heard of before. He fired up my adrena-lin glands with an interesting history aboutthe Altar of Zeus, part of which I wouldlike to pass along to you. Gallo wrote:

"Eumenes was a mentor to none otherthan Antiochus FV Epiphanes; yes, thevery Seleucid king who committed the first"abomination of desolation" by erecting astatue of Zeus in the Temple and slaying apig on the alter in honor of Zeus.

"Fast forward about 2000 years. TheGerman archeologists are in Pergamum.They approach the Muslim Ottoman rul-ers with a proposal to buy this old pa-gan altar to Zeus, and move it to Berlin.They removed the entire edifice to Berlin,where they built a massive museum in the1880's, and restored the Altar (see pictureabove). It became quite famous and anicon of Greek architecture, recognized byeducated people around the world.

"Fast forward again about 50 years.A young Austrian art aficionado namedAdolph Hitler must have been especiallyenamored of it. He built an outdoor replicafrom which he gave a series of mesmer-izing speeches to the assembled masses. Itwas a coming out party of a sort, where theworld realized this was no ordinary poli-tician. He seemed imbued with an almosthypnotic ability to say nothing in particu-lar, but in a way which enraptured the

youth. And he did it while speaking froma replica of Berlin's most famous ancientmuseum piece: The Great Altar of Perga-mum, a.k.a. — the altar of Zeus, a.k.a. —the throne of Satan.

"Fast forward about another 75 years.Another charismatic young politician,mesmerizes huge German crowds with arousing speech in Berlin. Barack HusseinObama does something no American pres-idential candidate has ever done, which isgive a major foreign policy speech abroad.Adoring youthful crowds, representingmuch of Europe, listen raptly as he says,well, nothing. But he does it so well."

An announcer on German televisionsaid, "You have just heard from the nextpresident of the United States of America,and the future president of the world."

"So did Barack Obama visit the Mu-seum of the Great Altar of Zeus in Berlinwhile he was there? Presumably he did.As his hosts showed off their city, surelythey must have taken him to their famousmuseum. Did he see it? What we do knowis that Barack Obama came back to naildown the Democratic nomination forPresident in Denver, Colorado. There hemade a bold, or some said arrogant, deci-sion to accept his party's nomination in amassive football stadium, hoping to fill itwith up with 100,000 fans. The numbers

were unprecedented for an American po-litical speech, except for him. This youngrock star politician seemed able to conjureup crowds that size at will. However, evenhis staunch supporters felt uneasy thatthe stage he demanded to speak from wasrather un-American and pretentious. Hewanted to give a speech from a replica of aGreek building!

"As photos of its construction werespread around the Internet, a Christian au-thor and blogger named Joel Richardsongained some instant notoriety across theInternet by demonstrating that this build-ing was a dead ringer for the Great Altarof Zeus that once stood above the cityof Pergamum. The Obama people madesome weak excuses that it represented theU.S. capital and White House West Wingcombined. But expert scholars agreed withRichardson; it was a replica of the GreatAltar of Pergamum.

"So, curiously, Obama chose to deliver hisrousing political coming-out speech to theassembled, mostly youthful, masses from areplica of the throne of Satan, just like Hitlerhad done many decades ago. Of course, theoblivious U.S. media had no idea, and wroteRichardson off as a nut, as their hero — aman certain people across the United Stateswere openly calling a messiah — hurtled to-ward his date with destiny." ̂



The Beast Is Stirring the Waters!

By Gary Stearman

The Bible foresees an international worldempire under the control of, "ten kingsthat shall arise" (Dan. 7:24). Through theswirling mists of money and politics, wecan now make out the faint silhouette ofthe beast that shall arise.

Reporting from Britain on November10th, Reuters news service headlined thetheme of a speech by Prime Minister Gor-don Brown. In his address, Brown repeat-ed his previous calls for a global economy.Following the recent worldwide financialcollapse and the election of a new U.S.President, world leaders now view theworld as primed for a massive change ineconomic direction.

"LONDON (Reuters) - The financialcrisis has given world leaders a uniqueopportunity to create a truly global soci-ety, Prime Minister Gordon Brown saidon Monday.

"Brown, who has spearheaded callsfor the reform of international financialinstitutions, said that Britain, the UnitedStates and Europe are key to forging anew world order.

"The alliance between Britain and theU.S. - and more broadly between Eu-rope and the U.S. - can and must provideleadership, not in order to make the rulesourselves, but to lead the global effort tobuild a stronger and more just interna-tional order."

About a week before meeting withworld leaders in Washington, England'sPrime Minister has elevated calls for anew international economy, which im-plies a supranational government andnew currency.

Brown continued, "Uniquely in thisglobal age, it is now in our power to cometogether so that 2008 is remembered notjust for the failure of a financial crash thatengulfed the world but for the resilienceand optimism with which we face thestorm, endured it and prevailed.

"And if we learn from our experience ofturning unity of purpose into unity of ac-tion, we can together seize this moment ofchange in our world to create a truly globalsociety."

In what he called the "dawn of hope,"

England's Prime Minister GordonBrown calls for a Global Government.

Gordon Brown alluded to the Americanmaxim that "all men are created equal,"using it to call for the need to distributethe world's wealth among the poorer na-tions of the world.

Not since George H. W. Bush addresseda joint session of Congress (amazinglyenough, on September 11,1990, exactlyeleven years before the destruction of theWorld Trade Center) have we so consis-tently heard calls for a New World Order.Bush regarded the Persian Gulf war as anhistorical chance to move toward the glob-al expansion of power. Now, as then, hiswords leave little to the imagination:

"We stand today at a unique and ex-traordinary moment. The crisis in the Per-sian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers arare opportunity to move toward an his-toric period of cooperation. Out of thesetroubled times, our fifth objective — anew world order — can emerge: a new era— freer from the threat of terror, strongerin the pursuit of justice, and more securein the quest for peace. An era in whichthe nations of the world, East and West,North and South, can prosper and live inharmony. A hundred generations havesearched for this elusive path to peace,while a thousand wars raged across thespan of human endeavor. Today that new

world is struggling to be born, a worldquite different from the one we've known.A world where the rule of law supplantsthe rule of the jungle. A world in whichnations recognize the shared responsibil-ity for freedom and justice. A world wherethe strong respect the rights of the weak.This is the vision that 1 shared with Presi-dent Gorbachev in Helsinki. He and otherleaders from Europe, the Gulf, and aroundthe world understand that how we managethis crisis today could shape the future forgenerations to come."

In the eighteen years since he spokethese words, world leaders have impatient-ly held to their belief that the day wouldfinally arrive, when conditions would beright to make their final bid for power. Itseems that their intricate plans and persis-tence have been rewarded at last. They be-lieve that their moment has arrived.

We can soon expect virtually unanimouscalls for global financial reform, as can beseen in a November 7th news release byLucia Kubosova, writing for the Euob-server:

"EUOBSERVER/BRUSSELS - EU lead-ers have agreed on a set of principles thatshould guide future talks on the reform ofthe global financial architecture, urging formore regulation and transparency in thesector that has delivered the world's big-gest economic crisis since the Great De-pression of the 1930s."

Meeting on that date, EU leaders agreedthat, "No financial institution, no marketsegmentation and no jurisdiction must es-cape proportionate and adequate regula-tion or at least oversight."

Whether or not it is true that this is thegreatest economic crisis since the 1930sis irrelevant, since literally trillions ofdollars have been redirected in ways thatmay never be fully accounted for. As somemight say, "The fix is in."

One could argue that money manipula-tors have allowed the current crisis to de-velop, so that they can "save" the systemby introducing international controls. Butnow that the initial phase of their plan hasbeen realized, their need for secrecy is nolonger a factor.

They are operating in the open. Theprophesied "day" is almost here. +

Obama's Ancestral Roots

Galilee Bedouin Claims ObamaAs Lost Member of Tribe

By Haaretz Israel News Service

According to The Times of London,about 8,000 Bedouin living in the Galileeare claiming U.S. President-elect BarackObama as a lost member of their tribe.

The tribe, based in the northern villageof Bir al-Maksour, has not yet producedevidence of the so-called family connec-tion. Local council member Abdul Rah-man Sheikh Abdullah told The Times theyhave withheld the claims until now so asnot to intervene in the election campaign.

"We knew about it years ago but wewere afraid to talk about it because wedidn't want to influence in the election,"Abdullah told The Times. "We wrote a let-ter to him explaining the family connec-tion." Obama has not yet responded to theletter, The Times reported.

The claim has brought a slew of visi-tors to the small Bedouin village, wheretribesman have celebrated the "BedouinObama's" victory.

Abdullah plans to hold a massive partyincluding the slaughter of a dozen sheep,The Times said, and has already beenmarking the occasion of Obama's win byhanding out traditional sweets to guestsand locals.

It was his 95-year-old mother who firstspotted the connection, he says. Seeingthe charismatic senator on television, shenoted a striking resemblance to one of theAfrican migrant workers who used to beemployed by rich Arab sheikhs in the fer-tile north of British Mandate Palestine inthe 1930s.

The African men would sometimes mar-ry local Arab Bedouin girls and start fami-lies, though, like many migrant workers,would just as frequently return home afterseveral years, taking their Bedouin wiveswith them. Sheikh Abdullah maintains thatone of those men was a relative of BarackObama's Kenyan grandmother.

Sheikh Abdullah swears that he has pa-pers and pictures to back up his claim buthas promised his mother not to divulge

Did Barack Obama's grandfather marry an Arab Bedouin girl from Palestine?

them until he has presented them to Mr.Obama, something he hopes will happenonce his "relative" is in the White House.

"We want to send a delegation to con-gratulate him, and we know we'll get ananswer soon," he grinned.

Sheikh Abdullah's renown as the rela-tive of the soon-to-be most powerful manon Earth has spread like wildfire amongthe Arab community of northern Israel,and especially among the Bedouin, a for-merly semi-nomadic group of pastoralistscorralled into townships by the modernstate of Israel.

"We knew he'd win," the sheikh said,constantly interrupted by a barrageof phone calls from well-wishers andthose hoping to cash in on his newfound"wasta, " an Arabic term denoting influ-ence or clout. "We have always been alucky family.

"We hope he'll end all wars and inter-vene here to solve our problems in Israel.The Bedouin are the people who sufferthe most here," he added while greetinga well-wisher from Ghajar, an Arab towndivided between Israel and southern Leba-non, the bitter legacy of the Jewish state'slong occupation of southern Lebanon.

"We hope to God that Obama will solve

the problem of Ghajar," said Sheikh Issamal-Khalil, a leading citizen of the dividedtown, whose residents mostly speak He-brew and Arabic but many of whom con-sider themselves as originally Syrian.

"Everyone is talking about [Sheikh Ab-dullah's ties to Mr. Obama] ... They be-lieve it. The sheikhs from all the villagesare talking about it. There's a whole del-egation of Druze leaders coming from theGolan Heights to congratulate him."

The history of the Middle East is lit-tered with the stories of false messiahs andtheir brief followings. For the time being.Sheikh Abdullah is greeting a dozen re-spectful visitors a day, basking in the re-flected glory of what would be not only thefirst African-American U.S. President butthe first one who could claim kinship withan entire clan of Bedouin.

If this report is correct, then Obama hasroots among a Bedouin tribe (presumablyPalestinian Arabs), currently living in theHoly Land. According to Abdullah, anAfrican man married a girl from his tribe.But what is the background of the Africanman? Was he a black Jew from Ethiopia?Was he a member of the Jewish Lembatribe of Zimbabwe? So far, we just don'thave any information. +
