What's in a name? Well, let's explore it. But before I do I must mention that I am not completely convinced that he is or is not the anti-christ. I am however looking at all the connections that can be made because we are living in the end times and it's a duty we all have as believers in Christ and his word to be diligent and "read the signs of the times".

Barack Hussein Obama- Barack's first name means in Arabic, "blessed". The actual Arabic word is "barak". In Hebrew "blessed" is the word "baruch". Now the problem I have with the Hebrew translation is that "baruch" is not "barak". However, in Hebrew there is an actual word "barak" and it's translation is "lightning". This is very key. In Revelation it's prophesied that the "beast out of the land", who is the prophet of the anti-christ and is given all the power of the anti-christ, has the ability to call fire down from heaven. The actual Greek translation of the word John the Revelator used for fire is, ready for this, "lightning". Look it up for yourselves haha! I did.

His middle name, "Hussein" is the name of Mohammed's brother. This is very significant because it was the murder of "Hussayn" and his family back in the very beginnings of the Muslim movement that caused the actual rift between Shi'ite and Sunni Muslims.

His last name, "Obama", I haven't been able to find out exactly what it is translated to but I've heard that it could mean, "lion's voice". This however is unsubstaniated.

So Barack Hussein Obama's name literally means, "blessed lightning from Hussayn's family with a lion's voice out of Africa". I ask you, what's in a name?

I would like to admonish those of you who are determined already that Barack is the anti-chirst. You must stop stating this as fact! We believers have no credible proof that he is or isn't and because of that to annoint him as the prophesied anti-christ is foolishness right now. However, if and when he does get elected as president and brings peace between Arabs and Jews that will be enough proof. When and if that should happen we must all make sure our relationship with the true God, Jehova and His Christ is built on a seriously strong foundation!

Stay diligent brothers and sisters, we will see the fullfilment of the Word of God!
