Obama In Torah Codes

The Best Seller Nobody Reads

When graduating high school seniors were quizzed about the Bible, this was the answer a large number of them chose.

Less than half of all adult Americans can name the first book of the Bible or the four Gospels of the New Testament. Almost two thirds of Americans can’t name at least five of the Ten Commandments. One in 10 adults who participated in a Bible literacy poll believe that Joan of Arc was Noah’s wife.

All of these incredible facts are mentioned by Timothy Beal in his book The Rise and Fall of the Bible, published earlier this year. The sad fact is, biblical literacy is at an all-time low. In fact, it may be low to zip, as Beal points out in his book.

There is a real paradox here. The Bible is a top-selling book in Western society, especially in the United States. The Bible is big business. Bible publishing is a highly competitive and lucrative industry. Few realize that Bible publishing companies are not necessarily owned by the deeply religious. Zondervan, which sells over 500 different kinds of Bibles, was purchased in 1988 by HarperCollins, a part of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire News Corporation.

Bible sales figures are a highly guarded secret, but numbers that are available are interesting to study. “Reliable industry sources estimate that 2007 saw about 25 million Bibles sold, generating revenues of about $770 million in the United States alone,” Beal states. “That was an increase of more than 26 percent since 2005, which saw sales of about $609 million …. Even during the high point of the economic crisis in late 2008, when other book sales were hurting badly, Bible sales continued to boom, with an estimated $823.5 million that year.” Beal reports that Bible sales remain high during times of war and financial crisis, which means that the most current sales figures likely are still soaring.

Yet, the paradox doesn’t stop here.

The Book to Buy

Twenty years ago, a Gallup poll reported that only 35 percent of Americans believed that “the Bible was totally accurate in all of its teachings.” This was a saddening but not surprising report at the time: Americans’ close relationship with the Bible had been in decline for decades. But more recent polling data from the Barna Group reveals that now, about half of Americans agree with that statement.

Shirat Devorah: Audio: Obama in Bible Codes

What does it say in the Bible about U.S. President Obama and what he will do regarding Israel?  Is he 'The One' to fill the role of Gog in the end times stories about Gog and Magog?  Where does it show in the Bible that indeed this is what it hints to?  Who could Obama be the reincarnation of in the Bible, and where is it written about from the biblical past, about today's Flotilla ships coming to Israel.
