A TRIPLE CROWN FOR THE
AMERICAN PHARAOH
Barack Obama: American Pharaoh, Rider on the White Horse & One of the Ten Kings
“And I saw, and lo, a white horse, and he who is sitting upon it is having a bow, and there was given to him a crown, and he went forth overcoming, and that he may overcome.” Rev. 6:2
“And the ten horns ..are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.” Rev. 17:12-14
PART 3
The Synagogue of Satan has disguised Barack Obama’s identity as Muslim to prevent the American citizenry from discovering that the real conspiracy is Zionist. Even more troubling is the fact that Evangelical ministers and ministries promote this Zionist propaganda. The facts do not support the propaganda that President Barack Obama is a Muslim, but that he is an Ethiopian Jew of the tribe of Dan.
Recently, President Obama and his Jewish advisor, David Axelrod, were discussing the right-wing allegation that the President is anti-Israel and therefore anti-Semitic. Obama’s response to the allegation was a tacit admission that he is Jewish:
“So the right-wing is steaming mad because President Obama – allegedly – once pondered aloud how it could be that he’s viewed as anything less than Zionist when he’s practically a member of the tribe. ‘You know, I think I am the closest thing to a Jew that has ever sat in this office,’ the Commander in Chief quipped, according to his former senior advisor David Axelrod. ‘For people to say that I am anti-Israel, or, even worse, anti-Semitic, it hurts.’” (How is Obama Not a Jew?)
How can Obama be anti-Semitic when, following the 2008 U.S. presidential election, the Haaretz Newspaper in Israel published an article titled “Some Chicago Jews say Obama is actually the ‘first Jewish president’.”
“In the Chicago Jewish community many people really are long-time friends of the president-elect. Some of the older people in the community say that they ‘raised him’ and ‘it turns out that 78 percent of U.S. Jews voted for Obama…
“Chicago attorney: Obama’s personal story reflects the story of Jewish immigration to the U.S...“They raised contributions for him, provided him with contacts, and also enjoyed hosting him and believed in his glorious future in politics. During most of the campaign, when rumors were spreading among American Jews that Obama was a closet Muslim who was more supportive of the Palestinians and was interested in granting the president of Iran legitimacy, his support among American Jews did not even come close to that enjoyed by Bill Clinton. But at the moment of truth, according to the exit polls, it turns out that 78 percent of Jews voted for Obama...
“...Obama lives near the synagogue in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, an area with quite a large Jewish population... Solow used to live in Obama’s neighborhood, and says that Obama has always had ‘excellent relations with the Jewish community’... As a local senator, he was very effective and helpful in what we call ‘the Jewish agenda,’ the community issues, values. He has always had a deep understanding of Israel’s need for security. I went with him to Israel for a week in January 2006, and when he started the race for the presidency I had no doubt I’d support him... ‘I said with a smile that he will be the first Jewish president. He also has a deep understanding of issues that confront Israel and the Jewish community.’” (Haaretz News, 11/13/08)
THE JEWISH DAILY
Obama’s Yarmulke
Wed. Sep 05, 2007
“Jewish supporters of Senator Barack Obama’s presidential bid have found a new way to advertise their political bona fides: the “Obama-kah.”
“Jews for Obama, a volunteer group affiliated with the Illinois Democrat’s Faith-Action-Change NYC group, has created “Obama 08” yarmulkes, just in time for High Holy Day wearing. With a background of ivory suede, the yarmulkes feature the campaign’s logo above the words “Obama 08.”
How is President Obama anti-Israel when, on July 27, 2012, he signed legislation for $70 billion in additional spending for Israel’s “Iron Dome” rocket defense system. The mainstream media, with the exception of CBS, reported the expenditure as $70 Million instead of $70 Billion. To insure that this newsworthy legislation would pass under the radar, the President signed the document during the Olympics opening ceremony.
In light of his dragon lineage, his Jewish lineage, and dynastic pedigree, it is not unreasonable to assume that President Obama will occupy a position of great importance during the Tribulation period. Upon termination of U.S. sovereignty, Pharaoh Obama may be one of the ten kings who have no kingdom yet, but will receive a kingdom, the North American Union.
As forensic evidence for President Obama’s divine right of kingship, photographs of the First Family and the stone figures of Akhenaten’s family will be used to “prove” Obama’s Egyptian pedigree. The mummy of Pharaoh Akhenaten, purported to be Obama’s ancestor, will be “discovered” after the Hall of Records is opened in the heart of the Great Sphinx, which aligns with Regulus, the “little king.” Also, the Emerald Tablets containing the ancient wisdom of the lost Atlantis will be in the Hall of Records in the Paw of the Sphinx. Pharaoh Obama will commence his dictatorship over the North American Union which will be ruled by the Talmudic Noahide laws.
President Obama Commemorates 2015 ‘Education and Sharing Day’
With Chabad Lubavitch Leaders (Chabad.org)
“Dan shall judge [avenge] his people, as one of the tribes, or rulers, of Israel. Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.” Gen. 49:16-17
Chabad Lubavitch Leaders also Commemorated Hanukkah in 2011 with “Rick Perry, the Jew”
“Presidential hopeful tells New York Times magazine ‘I’m more Jewish than you think I am.’”
Is Katy Perry also a Crypto-Jew?
American society is addicted to entertainment the purpose of which is to transform the Gentile masses into mindless, servile slaves of the Jewish State:
“In order to distract people who may be too troublesome from discussions of questions of the political we are now putting forward what we allege to be new questions of the political, namely, questions of industry. In this sphere let them discuss themselves silly! The masses are agreed to remain inactive, to take a rest from what they suppose to be political (which we trained them to in order to use them as a means of combating the GOY governments) only on condition of being found new employments, in which we are prescribing them something that looks like the same political object. In order that the masses themselves may not guess what they are about we further distract them with amusements, games, pastimes, passions, people’s palaces... Soon we shall begin through the press to propose competitions in art, in sports in all kinds: these interests will finally distract their minds from questions in which we should find ourselves compelled to oppose them. Growing more and more disaccustomed to reflect and form any opinions of their own, people will begin to talk in the same tone as we because we alone shall be offering them new directions for thought...of course through such persons as will not be suspected of solidarity with us.”
Indispensable to implementing the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion are Jewish celebrities—“such persons as will not be suspected of solidarity with us.” Their mission is to entertain the Gentile masses while corrupting their moral character. These superstars are not Illuminati slaves (mind control is reserved for Gentiles) but Zionists who share a common Israelite heritage and agenda.
“...there shall have been brought about a spiritual demoralization and a moral corruption, chiefly with the assistance of Jewish women masquerading as French, Italians, etc.” (Introduction, Protocols of the Learned Elders of Sion)
When Scotland Was Jewish is a fascinating, well-documented investigation of crypto-Jewry in Scotland. The authors, Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman and Donald Neal Yates, undertook this investigation to research their own Jewish roots. They present, in several places, evidence of Scottish “names that are strikingly Jewish or Sephardic: for example,... Pirie (Hebrew ‘pear tree’; cf. Perry, Perez)”. (p. 98, see also pp. 165, 175, 176, 217) The name “Perry” also appears on several databases in the Consolidated Jewish Surname Index.
According to Surnames of the United Kingdom: A Concise Etymological Dictionary, by Henry Harrison, the English word Perry was derived from the French word Perré meaning stone or rock:
“PERRY...(A.-Fr.-Lat.-Gr.) 1 f. the French Perre, Pierre, i.e. Peter (q.v.) + the E. dim. suff. -y.
2 the French Perré, Du Perré = OF THE STONEY PLACE [Fr. perré, a der. of perré, pierre, a stone, rock; Lat. petra]” (p. 72)
“Perryman (Sephardic ‘pear man’)” (p. 41)
This is important because Sephardic Jews migrated from northern Israel to Greece to Europe to France and then to Great Britain. After the Assyrian invasion of northern Israel in 721 B.C., the crossbred tribe of Dan migrated from Israel to Sparta in ancient Greece and from there to Troy. From Troy they traveled to Gaul, which is now France, where they later established the thrones of Europe as the Merovingian dynasty. From Gaul, the tribe of Dan migrated to Briton and Ireland, whence many of them migrated to the United States. (See: The British Druids)
We have seen that Katy Perry’s performances are occult rituals embedded with cryptic messages about the events of the Tribulation period. Also embedded in Perry’s concerts are pictorial cryptograms which reveal her Jewish identity and Zionist agenda.
During the 2015 Super Bowl halftime program, Perry wore a dress made with yarmulkes, Jewish skullcaps, at the top. Most Gentiles would fail to notice this bawdy advertisement of Perry’s Jewish ethnicity, but Jewish spectators definitely got the message. Found in the February 3, 2015 edition of the Jewish Business News...
The halftime program opened with Katy Perry singing her hit song “ROAR” as she rode into the stadium on a gigantic golden Lion.
Perry’s dress depicted a raging fire reminiscent of Lady Gaga’s Wicker Man dress at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Both images portrayed a human being on fire, like the last scene of “Dark Horse” which simulates a human burning at a stake.
Why the flame dress? Super Bowl 2015 was held at the “University of Phoenix” stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on February 2, which is the Druidic feast of Imbolc. The Phoenix symbolizes Lucifer’s future resurrection from the flames of hell and Imbolc is a major fire festival which the Druids celebrated by sacrificing human beings in a Wicker Man, which is depicted by Lady Gaga in her flaming red dress and headpiece. As the human victim was burnt alive, the Druids would sing and dance to drown out the screams.
Katy Perry’s “Roar” is about the (all-seeing) “eye of the tiger, a fighter dancing through the fire” who “roars louder than a lion.”
“ROAR”
“I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am the champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar!
“I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lionOh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You’re gonna hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You’ll hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re gonna hear me roar.Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar”
Why are Synagogue of Satan productions preoccupied with human sacrifice? Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are covertly communicating to enlightened Jewry the Synagogue of Satan’s future genocide of the Gentile world and establishment of a {false} Messianic kingdom.
Significantly, the lion was the standard of the Tribe of Judah as prophesied by the patriarch Jacob.
“Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.” Gen. 49:9-10
Jacob also prophesied that the tribe of Dan would attempt to usurp the authority which God gave exclusively to the tribe of Judah:
“Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes, or rulers, of Israel. Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.” Gen. 49:16-17
“Durell translates this, Dan shall avenge his people; and observes, that the verb דון don, besides its signification of judging and contending, certainly signifies to avenge...” (Thomas Coke Commentary)
It is for this reason that Dan is not included among the 12 tribes that will be sealed during the Tribulation period. (Rev. 7:4-8) The tribe of Dan is the Synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, but are not.
“...I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan... Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
In ancient Israel, the term “Jew” belonged exclusively to the southern kingdom of Judah, the word “Jew” having been derived from “Judah.” And so technically, only the kingdom of Judah was “Jewish” and the other tribes of Israel have no right to call themselves Jews. That this distinction was understood in the Old Testament is seen in II Kings 16:5-6 (KJV) where the people of Israel and the King of Syria fought against the “Jews” of the southern kingdom.
God Himself will intervene in the Synagogue of Satan’s usurpation of the Messianic birthright and save the tribe of Judah.
“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.” Genesis 49:10
“The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem...
“And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.” (Zech. 12:7-10; 13:8,9)
Jesus Christ, Lion of the tribe of Judah, has triumphed over the roaring lion, Satan, that seeks to devour Judah (1 Pet. 5:8):
“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain...” Rev. 5:1-5

The Egyptians believed that the pharaohs were descendants of the gods of Atlantis, which would make the Pharaonic dynasties a branch of this demonic lineage. Barack Obama is not a clone or descendant of a Pharonic dynasty, but he is a descendant of the tribe of Dan, the tribe which intermarried with the Canaanites, who mated with the fallen angels who descended on Mount Hermon. Some of these Danites migrated to Ethiopia, in ancient times, but retained their Jewish identity and traditions.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, an obscure news article revealed that Michelle Obama’s cousin is an Ethiopian Hebrew Rabbi.
September 9, 2008
“Rabbi Key to Obama's Bid for Jewish Vote ”
“Democratic U.S. Presidential candidate Barack Obama, who has been struggling to gain the Jewish vote, could have taken advantage of his wife’s cousin who’s one of the most distinguished black rabbis in the U.S. Still, this has almost slipped media attention as Obama has been cautious in mentioning his family’s connection.
“Michelle Obama’s cousin is Rabbi Capers C. Funnye, spiritual leader of a mostly black synagogue on Chicago’s South Side. Funnye’s mother, Verdelle Robinson Funnye (born Verdelle Robinson) and Michelle Obama’s paternal grandfather, Frasier Robinson Jr., were brother and sister.
“Funnye is chief rabbi at the Beth Shalom B’nai Zaken Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation. He also serves on the Chicago Board of Rabbis.
“The rabbi is known for his efforts to bring together the mainstream Jewish population and smaller black Jewish congregations - commonly referred to as Hebrews or Israelites. He has repeatedly called on the larger Jewish community to accept more non-white Jews.
“Much analysis of Obama’s relationship with the Jewish community has been made during the presidential campaign. On the one hand, wealthy Jewish families played a major role in Obama’s rise to power in Chicago. On the other hand, the presidential nominee has not been a success breaking scepticism by the Jewish community over Israel. Moreover, there are persistent rumours (which are false) that Barack Obama is a Muslim, with a number of articles appearing in online editions and discussions in blogs and forums.
“Funnye denies any involvement in Obama’s campaign but admits he has donated money to it. Nor does he deny his family’s connection with the Democratic presidential nominee, and it is common knowledge among his Chicago congregation.
“Funnye’s congregation describes itself as Ethiopian Hebrew but it is in fact not related to the Jewish community of Ethiopia, most of whom have immigrated to Israel in recent decades. It is also not linked to the Hebrew Israelite black supremacist group whose street demonstrations have become familiar spectacles in a number of American cities.”
Rabbi Funnye is a major figure in the Jewish community, in Chicago and nationally.
“Capers C. Funnye, Jr. is rabbi and spiritual leader of Beth Shalom B’nai Zaken Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation, located in Chicago, IL at 6601 S. Kedzie Avenue. Rabbi Funnye also serves as a Senior Research Associate for the Institute of Jewish and Community Research, located in San Francisco, CA.
“Rabbi Funnye earned a Bachelor of Arts in Hebrew Literature and rabbinic ordination from the Israelite Board of Rabbis, Inc., Queens, NY. Rabbi Funnye also earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Jewish Studies and Master of Science in Human Service Administration from Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies, Chicago, IL.
“Rabbi Funnye has served as a consultant to several institutions, including The Du Sable Museum of African American History, The Chicago Historical Society, The Spertus Museum of Judaica, all located in Chicago, IL; The Black Holocaust Museum, located in Milwaukee, WI; Institute for Jewish and Community Research, San Francisco, CA and the Afro-American Museum, located in Los Angeles, CA.
“Rabbi Funnye has lectured at numerous universities, synagogues, churches and various community organizations throughout the United States. He has appeared on several national and local television programs, and spoken on numerous radio programs both national and local.
“Rabbi Funnye is involved in a number of boards in the Jewish community; The Chicago Board of Rabbis, Jewish Council on Urban Affairs, Akiba Schechter Jewish Day School and Vice President of the Israelite Board of Rabbis...” (Beth Shalom B'Nai Zaken Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation)
Rabbi Funnye claims to be a former Methodist who converted to Judaism, which is an implausibility considering the importance of racial purity in the Jewish community. No Gentile convert to Judaism would sit on the governing boards of a multitude of Jewish organizations, including the powerful American Jewish Congress.
“Rabbi Funnye is involved in many community organizations. He serves on the boards of the Chicago Board of Rabbis, American Jewish Congress, Jewish Council on Urban Affairs...” (Be'chol Lashon)
According to his profile, Rabbi Capers Funnye, chief rabbi of Beth Shalom B’nai Zaken Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation, “is active in the Institute for Jewish and Community Research, which reaches out to black Jewish communities outside the United States, such as the Beta Israel in Ethiopia...” The American Jewish Congress, on whose board Rabbi Funnye also serves, advocates for the return of the Ethiopian Jews of Beta Israel to their homeland of Israel.
ISRAEL AND THE FALASH MORA
Approved By The Annual Meeting
Washington, DC
May 4, 2008
The American Jewish Congress calls upon the Government of Israel to expeditiously process requests to immigrate from Falash Mora, thousands of whom continue to languish in camps and refugee centers in Ethiopia for the sin of wanting to live in Israel. In 2005, Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom promised to complete the evacuation of Falash Mora by the end of 2007. The Israeli government later extended the deadline to the end 2008. We encourage Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to meet this timeline. Regardless of when their ancestors may have converted to Christianity, or the conditions under which they did so, we support these people who desire to undergo conversion and live as Jews in Israel.
The country that managed to evacuate Beta Israel from Ethiopia in Operations Moses and Solomon must find the compassion and courage to bring willing new converts to its shores. (“Israel and the Falash Mora”)
Barack Obama also supported Ethiopian immigration (aliyah) to Israel when he was U.S. Senator for Illinois.
United Jewish Communities / News
U.S. Senator Barack Obama Witnesses the Hope of Operation Promise
January 13, 2005“Jerusalem – United States Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, traveling in Israel this week, met Friday with Ethiopian immigrants remaking their lives in the Jewish homeland with the support of the Jewish federations of North America. The meeting was arranged by the Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago (JUF).
“‘This meeting has provided a picture that I can take home,’ Sen. Obama said, adding that it was an educational and valuable visit.
“The senator, on the last of four days spent touring the country and meeting officials, shared lunch Friday with beneficiaries of Operation Promise, a major initiative of the Jewish federation network to bring thousands of Ethiopian Jews to Israel and help them create productive lives there.
“Among those who visited with the senator today was Yardena Fanta-Vagenstein, a new mother who emigrated from Ethiopia to Israel, earned a doctorate degree and is now an educator. ‘The Jewish federations, through their support of Ethiopian immigrants, are not only helping us, they are changing our lives,’ she told Sen. Obama.
Operation Promise and Ethiopia
“The first exodus of Jews from war-torn Ethiopia was Operation Moses in 1985. A second and larger exodus was Operation Solomon in 1991. Currently, Operation Promise continues to bring the Ethiopian Jewish community home to Israel and helps them take their rightful place in Israeli society.“Three years ago, the Israeli government decided to write the final chapter on Ethiopian aliyah and bring the remaining Falash Mura to the Jewish state. But thousands still remain, living in tin shacks near Jewish aid compounds, close to Israeli officials in whose hands their fate rests. Read this special report by Uriel Heilman which examines what happened between now and then. What are the issues holding up the final exodus? And just who are the Falash Mura?”
The Jewish Virtual Library’s History of Ethiopian Jews identifies the Falasha Mura of Beta Israel as formerly Jewish kings of Ethiopia:
“Once they were kings. A half million strong, they matched their faith with fervor and out-matched the Moslem and Christian tribesmen around them to rule the mountain highlands around Lake Tana. They called themselves Beta Israel—the house of Israel—and used the Torah to guide their prayers and memories of the heights of Jerusalem as they lived in their thatched huts in Ethiopia.
“But their neighbors called them Falashas—the alien ones, the invaders. And even three hundred years of rule, even the black features that matched those of all the people around them did not make the Jews of Ethiopia secure governors of their destiny in Africa’ (‘Falashas: The Forgotten Jews,’ Baltimore Jewish Times, 9 November 1979).”
A 2008 publication of the American Jewish Congress confirmed the presence of Jews in Ethiopia, many of whom were emigrating to Israel.
“Israel’s Declaration of Independence, first read in public by David Ben Gurion on May 14, 1948 at the Tel Aviv Museum before 250 witnesses, clearly stated one of Israel’s reasons-for-being: ‘...the State of Israel will be open for Jewish immigration and the Ingathering of the Exiles.’ Neither the framers of the declaration nor its distinguished audience could have imagined that by its 60th birthday Israel would be home to 110,000 Ethiopian Jews.
“In fact, in those years only a handful of scholars and rabbis knew that the Ethiopian Jews existed; they were living as an impoverished, isolated, and persecuted ‘caste’ in scattered villages around Lake Tana in northern Ethiopia. They called themselves Beta Yisrael (House of Israel), while other Ethiopians labeled them with the derogatory term Falusha (strangers, or exiles)...
“There are competing theories about how Ethiopians came to be counted among the Jewish people. The mythic explanation still revered by some Ethiopians holds that their Jewish identity can be traced to the biblical meeting of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Ethiopian tradition holds that King Solomon and the Queen had a son, Menelik, who was raised in Jerusalem until, as a young man, God came to him in a dream and told him to return to his homeland, Aksum (capital of ancient Ethiopia). He took with him a retinue of Israelites from Solomon’s court and the Holy Ark itself. Menelik, raised as an Israelite, became the first Emperor of Ethiopia.
“The rabbinic account is based on a responsa by the Radbaz (Rabbi David ben Zimra) in 1615, which declared the child of ‘Falasha’ woman to be a Jew, descended from the tribe of Dan. It was this decision that Chief Sephardic Rabbi Ovadia Yosef cited when validating the Jewish identity of the Ethiopians in 1973, opening Ethiopian immigration to Israel under the Law of Return.” (“The Ethiopian Jews of Israel: The Unfinished Exodus”)
For centuries rabbinic authorities have recognized the Ethiopian Jews of Beta Israel as descendants of the tribe of Dan, the apostate tribe of Israel that will produce the Antichrist.
“Most of the Beta Israel consider the Kebra Negast legend to be a fabrication. Instead they believe, based on the ninth century stories of Eldad ha-Dani (the Danite), that the tribe of Dan attempted to avoid the civil war in the Kingdom of Israel between Solomon’s son Rehoboam and Jeroboam the son of Nebat, by resettling in Egypt. From there they moved southwards up the Nile into Ethiopia, and the Beta Israel are descended from these Danites...
“In the sixteenth century, the Chief Rabbi of Egypt, Rabbi David ben Solomon ibn Abi Zimra (Radbaz) proclaimed that in terms of halakha (Jewish legal code), the Ethiopian community was certainly Jewish. During the nineteenth century, the majority of European Jewish authorities openly supported this assertion.
“In 1908, the chief rabbis of 45 countries made a joint statement officially declaring that Ethiopian Jews were indeed Jewish. This proclamation was chiefly due to the work of Professor Jacques Faitlovitch, who studied Amharic and Tigrinya at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes in Paris under Professor Joseph Halévy. Halévy first visited the Ethiopian Jews in 1876. Upon his return to Europe, Halévy published a ‘Kol Korei,’ a cry to the world Jewish community to save the Ethiopian Jews. He formed the organization Kol Yisroel Chaverim (‘All Israel are Friends’), to act as advocates for Ethiopian Jews for years to come.” (“Beta Israel”)
There is abundant evidence that the tribe of Dan migrated to the land of Cush, Ethiopia, in ancient times:
“To prove the antiquity and authenticity of their own claims, the Beta Israel cite the 9th-century CE testimony of Eldad ha-Dani (the Danite), from a time before even the Zagwean dynasty was established. Eldad was a Jewish man of dark skin who suddenly turned up in Egypt and created a great stir in the Egyptian Jewish community (and elsewhere in the Mediterranean Jewish communities he travelled to) with claims that he had come from a Jewish kingdom of pastoralists far to the south. The only language he spoke was a hitherto unknown dialect of Hebrew. Although he strictly followed the Mosaic commandments his observance differed in some details from Rabbinic halakhah, so that some thought he might be a Karaite, even if his practice differed from theirs too. He carried Hebrew books with him that supported his explanations of halakhah, and he was able to cite ancient authorities in the sagely traditions of his own people. He said that the Jews of his own kingdom derived from the tribe of Dan (which included the Biblical war-hero Samson) which had fled the civil war in the Kingdom of Israel between Solomon’s son Rehoboam and Jeroboam the son of Nebat, by resettling in Egypt. From there they moved southwards up the Nile into Ethiopia, and the Beta Israel say this confirms that they are descended from these Danites. Some Beta Israel, however, assert even nowadays that their Danite origins go back to the time of Moses himself, when some Danites parted from other Jews right after the Exodus and moved south to Ethiopia. Eldad the Danite does indeed speak of at least three waves of Jewish immigration into his region, creating other Jewish tribes and kingdoms, including the earliest wave that settled in a remote kingdom of the ‘tribe of Moses’: this was the strongest and most secure Jewish kingdom of all, with farming villages, cities and great wealth. The Mosaic claims of the Beta Israel, in any case, like those of the Zagwe dynasty itself, are clearly very ancient.” (Beta Israel)
See: “The Lost Tribe of Dan”
Barack Obama doppelganger?
In his exposition of Ezekiel 27:19, concerning the destruction of Tyre, the 17th century theologian Matthew Poole proposed that Israelites of the tribe of Dan migrated to the region of Meroë in lower Egypt (Ancient Ethiopia) prior to the Assyrian captivity.
“19. Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.
“If it were the tribe of Dan, it must be understood of a time before the captivity of the ten tribes; but there is a learned man tells us of Dana a city of Taprobana, or the island Zeilan mentioned by Ptolemy, and this learned man will have this meant. Javan; not Javan or Greece, saith that learned man, but another Javan in the isle Meroë in remote parts of Egypt, where is a principal town Uzal, or Asel, from whence these merchants came, and therefore styled Javan of Uzal, or Javan Meuzal. And if the cassia or calamus, mentioned in the verse, were the wares brought in by the Danites and Javanites, I should go as far as Meroë and Taphrobana to send them...” (Annotations Upon the Holy Bible, p. 746)
The Danites of Meroë are called Meroites. “Meroë” may be the root of “Merovingian” and “Meroite” a combination of Meroë and Danite.
“The site of the city of Meroë is marked by more than two hundred pyramids in three groups, of which many are in ruins. They have distinctive size and proportions of Nubian pyramids... In June 2011, the Archeological Sites of Meroë were listed by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.” (Meroe)
Meroë in ancient Ethiopia was, in fact, the wellspring of the “cradle of civilization” known as Egypt.
“The ancient history of Egypt is obscure. It is agreed on all hands, however, that it was the early seat of civilization; and that this civilization was introduced from the south, and especially from Meroë. The country in the earliest times was possessed by several kings or states, which were at length united into one great kingdom. Not long after the death of Joseph, it came into the possession of the Hyksos or Shepherd kings, probably an Arabian nomadic tribe. After they were driven out, the whole country came again under one sovereign, and enjoyed great prosperity. The first king of the 19th dynasty, as it is called by Manetho, was the celebrated Sesostris, about 1500 years b.c. His successors were all called by the general name of Pharaoh, that is, kings. The first who is mentioned by his proper name is Shishak (1 Kings 14:25-26), supposed to be the Sesonchosis of Manetho, who reigned about 970 years b.c. Geseuius says, that in the time of the Jewish king Hezekiah, there reigned at the same time in Egypt three dynasties; an Ethiopic (probably over Upper Egypt), a Saitish, and a Tanitish dynasty - of which at last sprung the dodekarchy, and whose dominion ultimately lost itself in the single reign of Psammetichus. The Ethiopic continued forty years, and consisted of three kings - Sabaco, Sevechus, and Tarakos, or Tearko - of which the two last are mentioned in the Bible, Sevechus under the name of So, סוא so' probably סוא seve' Sevechus - as the ally of Hosea, king of Israel (2 Kings 17:4), 722 b.c., and Tarakos the same as Tirhakah, about the time of the 16th year of the reign of Hezekiah (714 b.c.) Instead of this whole dynasty, Herodotus (ii. 137, 139), and Diodorus (i. 65), give us only one name, that of Sabaco. Contemporary with these were the four, or according to Eusebius, five, first kings of the dynasty of Saite, Stephinates, Nerepsus, Nichao I, who was slain by an Ethiopian king, and Psammetichus, who made an end of the dodekarchy, and reigned fifty-four years.” (Albert Barnes’ Notes, Isaiah 19:1)
Taharqa, king of Ethiopia, is found in 2 Kings 19:9 and Isaiah 37:9 as “Tirhakah,” whom God brought against the Assyrians as they were threatening to attack Judah.
2 Kings 9
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,
10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
“It is most likely that the king of Assyria thought by this message to have terrified Hezekiah and the people into compliance, which was now the more necessary for him, as the invasion of Tirhakah rendered it less proper for him to attempt so long and difficult a siege as that of Jerusalem was likely to prove.” (Coke’s Commentary, Isaiah 37:8)
The Queen of Sheba who came to hear the wisdom of King Solomon was from Ethiopia, specifically from Meroë its capital. According to Genesis 10:7, Sheba was a grandson of Cush who settled in Ethiopia, i.e. Nubia and North Abyssinia, where female sovereigns became the norm. Compare Acts 8:27, the Ethiopian eunuch was a Jew who served the Ethiopian queen in the early Church period.
“And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.” (Acts 8:27-35)
Although there is no Biblical support for their belief, Ethiopians claim that Solomon fathered a child with the Queen of Sheba and that their son, Menelik, brought the Ark of the Covenant from Jerusalem to Ethiopia where it still resides.
“The state of Sheba mentioned in the Old Testament is sometimes believed to have been in Ethiopia, but more often is placed in Yemen. According to the Ethiopian legend, best represented in the Kebra Negest, the Queen of Sheba was tricked by King Solomon into sleeping with him, resulting in a child, named Ebn Melek (later Emperor Menelik I). When he was of age, Menelik returned to Israel to see his father, who sent with him the son of Zadok to accompany him with a replica of the Ark of the Covenant (Ethiosemitic: tabot). On his return with some of the Israelite priests, however, he found that Zadok’s son had stolen the real Ark of the Covenant. Some believe the Ark is still being preserved today at the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in Axum, Ethiopia. The tradition that the biblical Queen of Sheba was a ruler of Ethiopia who visited King Solomon in Jerusalem in ancient Israel is supported by the 1st century AD Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, who identified Solomon’s visitor as a queen of Egypt and Ethiopia.” (History of Ethiopia)
Harper’s New Monthly Magazine (1868) mentions the gigantic stature of the Sabeans of Ethiopia in Isaiah 45:14, and places Sheba (Saba) in Ethiopia rather than Yemen, based on Jesus’ reference to the Queen of Sheba in Matthew 12:42:
“Josephus, it is to be observed, notices the city of Saba, in Ethiopia, and relates that Cambyses, after driving the Ethiopians into that place, gave Meroë the name of his own sister (ii. Antiquit. c.v.). There are not, indeed, wanting those who identify the queen of this Ethiopic Saba with the Queen of Sheba..., a tradition which is curiously enough countenanced by the circumstances that the polity of Meroë —the capital of all Ethiopia, as Herodotus describes it...—was peculiarly distinguished by the fact that the sceptre was often held by female sovereigns, whereas in Egypt we find a queen-regent only once mentioned-Nitocris, in the third dynasty; as also by the tradition, so dear to the monarchies of Abyssinia, that they are descended from the offspring of Solomon and the Queen of Saba or of Ethiopia....The commerce and wealth of these Sabeans of Ethiopia, as also their gigantic stature, are alluded to by the prophet Isaiah (xliii,3, xlv.14); and his testimony is confirmed by the profane writers of antiquity. The allusion made to the Queen of Sheba in Matt. xii.42, where our Lord speaks of her as coming ‘from the earth’s extremes,’ would appear to apply better to the remote regions of the Upper Nile than to the better-known territory of Yemen.” (Harper's New Monthly, Vol. 142, p. 2)
“Sabeans...of stature—the men of Meroë, in Upper Egypt. HERODOTUS (3.30) calls the Ethiopians ‘the tallest of men’ (see on Commentary on Isaiah 18:2; 1 Chron. 11:23). (Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary, Isaiah 45:14)
“The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.” Matt. 12:42
Ancient Ethiopia was therefore an empire which encompassed a much larger territory than the present-day nation of Ethiopia.
“Ethiopia is frequently mentioned in the Bible in English translation based on the Greek translation of ‘Kush’ as ‘Ethiopia,’ however as the Hebrew original references ‘Kush’ such references are in fact to Nubia in the modern day nations of Egypt and Sudan and not the modern-day nation of Ethiopia. An example of this conflation of the nations of Ethiopia and Sudan is in the oft-cited story of the Ethiopian eunuch as written in Acts, Chapter 8, verse 27: ‘Then the angel of the Lord said to Philip, Start out and go south to the road that leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza. So he set out and was on his way when he caught sight of an Ethiopian. This man was a eunuch, a high official of the Kandake (Candace) Queen of Ethiopia in charge of all her treasure.’ The passage continues by describing how Philip helped the Ethiopian understand one passage of Isaiah that the Ethiopian was reading. After the Ethiopian received an explanation of the passage and came to believe in Jesus as the ‘Son of God’, he requested that Philip baptize him, which Philip obliged. Queen Gersamot Hendeke VII (very similar to Kandake) was the Queen of Ethiopia from the year 42 to 52. However, as the Ethiopian Orthodox Church was founded in the 4th century by Syrian monks, this reference has been shown to be ahistorical. This is because as the original Hebrew uses the word ‘Kush,’ this passage has been more properly identified as referencing the ancient Kingdom of Kush, in Sudan and not Ethiopia, and which in fact was Christianized much earlier than the modern-day nation of Ethiopia, identified in antiquity with Arabia Felix and parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Nubia in modern-day Sudan. Due to secondary English translations of the Bible from Greek instead of Hebrew, which often substitute the word ‘Cush’ (which in Hebrew sometimes means ‘dark’) for ‘Ethiopia,’ (Greek for ‘burnt skin’) there has been some confusion in identifying ‘Cush’ primarily with modern-day Ethiopia, although that is certainly ahistorical…” (History of Ethiopia)
“The term ‘Ethiopia’ was first used by Ancient Greek writers in reference to the east-central African kingdom that they believed to be not only culturally and ethnically linked to ancient ‘Egypt’ (Kemet), but the source of such civilization as well. Contrary to popular belief, the term was not exclusive to the landlocked modern country of Ethiopia. According to early Greek writers, Ethiopia was an empire originally situated between Ta-Seti in Lower Kemet and the confluence of the White and Blue Niles. Centuries later, however, the name became synonymous with a much larger region that included the present-day countries of South Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, Central African Republic, Chad, etc.” (Ancient Ethiopia or Kush)
The place name “Sudan” appears to be a composite of south+Dan and there are Sudanese who claim that President Obama’s ancestors were the Nubians of Meroë in ancient Ethiopia. The Curator of the Department of World Cultures at the Royal Ontario Museum even suggested that Obama descended from the famous Ethiopian Pharaoh Taharqa.
“‘Ancient Nubia, or Kush as it is called in the Bible,’ explains Dr Krzysztof Grzymski, Senior Curator and Head: Department of World Cultures at the Royal Ontario Museum, ‘is, after Egypt, the second oldest literate civilisation in Africa. It had two main cities, Napata and Meroë.’...
“Now it seems Hollywood may be hot on Grzymski’s trail. Some in Sudan believe Barack Obama’s grandfather didn’t come from Kenya, but from the Nuba Mountains.
“Taharqa was a Nubian king of Egypt who fought the Assyrians. ‘Obama could be descended from the first black superhero,’ says Grzymski. ‘The rumour going around is that Will Smith is set to play him.’ Don’t say you didn’t read it here first.’” (Heidi Kingstone, “The Sudan: Mysterious and Distant Land,” The Saturday Star, 3/7/09)
In 2008, Actor Will Smith was reported to be producing a movie about Taharqa titled “The Last Pharaoh,” to be released in 2013. The movie was apparently postponed, however, “President Barack Obama has stated that if a film were to ever be made about his life, he would have Smith play his part.” (Will Smith)
A National Geographic documentary, “Rise of the Black Pharaohs,” presents a largely unknown history of the land of Kush, although it never mentions the tribe of Dan. Tirhakah of Kush became the third and last of three Nubian pharaohs who conquered and ruled over Egypt.
Pharaoh Taharqa / King Tirhakah
President Barack Obama maintains that his father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., was a born in Kenya to a Muslim family. However, the Obama family ancestry was rooted in ancient Cush/Ethiopia whence a portion of tribe of Dan migrated, which explains why the Obama family is Ethiopian Hebrew.
Barack Obama's Nubian and Cu$hite Roots - Royal Lineage?
“Barak Obama is no ordinary African-American and the calling of Barak Obama, ‘The Messiah,’ by the false conservative media, sent some minds scurrying in Kenya and parts of Africa, by people who know WHICH ETHNIC GROUP THAT OBAMA’S FATHER CAME FROM.
“Obama’s father was a Luo, one of the most important branches of a group of Africans who actually began the idea of world civilization. According to Sudan sources... Obama’s father’s lineage is from one of the Cush people of Sudan. They once settled in the region near Dongola, then later moved southward to the region near Khartoum. Over the centuries, the Luo and other tall, majestic, Cush people spread into Sudan, Ethiopia, Chad, Nigeria, Southern Africa and the Americas.”
Barack Obama, Sr. married two Jewish women, Stanley Ann Dunham (1961) and Ruth Beatrice Baker (1964):
Stanley Ann Dunham
“Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.; (18 June 1936−24 November 1982) was a Kenyan senior governmental economist and the father of U.S. President Barack Obama. He is a central figure of his son’s memoir, Dreams from My Father (1995). Obama married in 1954 and had two children with his first wife, Kezia. He was selected for a special program to attend college in the United States, where he went to the University of Hawaii. There, Obama met Stanley Ann Dunham, whom he married in 1961 and had a son Barack II, named after him. He divorced her three years later. The elder Obama later went to Harvard University for graduate school, where he earned an M.A. in economics, and returned to Kenya in 1964.” (Barack Obama, Sr.)
Stanley Ann Dunham, Barack Obama’s mother, was related to many power elites through her father Stanley Armour Dunham.
Stanley Armour Dunham’s distant cousins include six U.S. presidents: James Madison, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush. Through a common ancestor, Mareen Duvall, a wealthy Huguenot merchant who emigrated to Maryland in the 1650s, Stanley Dunham is related to former Vice-President Dick Cheney (an eighth cousin once removed). Through another common ancestor, Hans Gutknecht, a Swiss German from Bischwiller, Alsace whose three sons resettled in Germantown, Pennsylvania as well as the Kentucky frontier in the mid-18th century, Stanley Dunham is President Harry S. Truman's fourth cousin, twice removed. Stanley Dunham and Wild Bill Hickock are sixth cousins, four times removed, through Jacob Dunham. (Stanley Armour Dunham)

Evidence that Stanley Ann Dunham was Jewish
Ruth Beatrice Baker
“Barack Obama, Sr... graduated from the University of Hawaii after three years with a B.A. in economics and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He left Hawaii in June 1962. In September 1962, after a tour of mainland U.S. universities, Obama traveled to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he began a graduate fellowship in economics at Harvard University... Obama was forced to leave his Ph.D. program at Harvard University in May 1964 (and received an A.M. in economics from Harvard in 1965). In June 1964, Obama met and began dating a 27-year-old Jewish American elementary school teacher named Ruth Beatrice Baker, the daughter of prosperous Lithuanian immigrants to the United States.... They had two sons together before separating in 1971 and divorcing in 1973.” (Barack Obama, Sr.)
No, we’re not a normal family, says Obama’s Jewish half-brother
Meet Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo, the China-based son of Barack Sr.’s third wife.A dream about the biblical Daniel prompted him to reconnect with the president.
“Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo, Jewish half-brother of US President Barack Obama...is one of the president’s five known half-siblings, born to the same father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., and Obama Sr.’s third wife, Ruth Ndesandjo, an American Jew from Boston... Obama Ndesandjo grew up in Kenya—far from his half-brother who was raised in the US by his mother, anthropologist Ann Dunham, Obama Sr.’s second wife...” (Times of Israel, Sept 21, 2015)
Significantly, the land of Kush, ancient Ethiopian empire, was settled by the son of Ham, who was the father of Nimrod:
Genesis 10
6 And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.
8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.A more accurate translation than before the LORD would be “in the Lord’s face”: “...in the face of YHWH” can only mean ‘in defiance of YHWH’ as Josephus and the Targums understand it.” (Keil and Delitzsch O.T. Commentary, p.166) Josephus wrote that Nimrod turned the hearts of the people away from God who had caused the flood and built the tower of Babel in order to survive another flood:
“Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it were through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power. He also said he would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to reach. And that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers.” (Antiquities of the Jews, Book I, Chapter 4)
In his book, Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning, Richard Hinckley Allen wrote that the Jews deified Nimrod as the constellation Orion. Osiris, the Solar God, also noting that Orion/Nimrod was a Giant:
“Later on the Jews called Orion Gibbor, the Giant, considered as Nimrod bound to the sky for rebellion against Jehovah...; but the concept of Nimrod as ‘the mighty Hunter before the Lord,’ at least in the ordinary sense of that word, is erroneous, for the original, according to universal Eastern tradition signifies a Lurking Enemy, or a Hunter of men rather than of beasts.” (Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning, p. 309)
Rabbinic sources affirm that Nimrod was a “warlike giant” who enslaved men and ruled over a world kingdom as a tyrant:
“Nimrod—Of this person little is known, as he is not mentioned except here and in 1Chron. 1:10, which is evidently a copy of the text in Genesis. He is called a mighty hunter before the Lord; and from Gen. 10:10, we learn that he founded a kingdom which included the cities Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Though the words are not definite, it is very likely he was a very bad man. His name Nimrod comes from מרד , marad, he rebelled; and the Targum, on 1Ch 1:10, says: Nimrod began to be a mighty man in sin, a murderer of innocent men, and a rebel before the Lord. The Jerusalem Targum says: ‘He was mighty in hunting (or in prey) and in sin before God, for he was a hunter of the children of men in their languages; and he said unto them, Depart from the religion of Shem, and cleave to the institutes of Nimrod.’ The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel says: ‘From the foundation of the world none was ever found like Nimrod, powerful in hunting, and in rebellions against the Lord.’ The Syriac calls him a warlike giant. The word ציד tsayid, which we render hunter, signifies prey; and is applied in the Scriptures to the hunting of men by persecution, oppression, and tyranny. Hence it is likely that Nimrod, having acquired power, used it in tyranny and oppression; and by rapine and violence founded that domination which was the first distinguished by the name of a kingdom on the face of the earth. How many kingdoms have been founded in the same way, in various ages and nations from that time to the present! From the Nimrods of the earth, God deliver the world!” (Adam Clarke Commentary)
Very soon another Nimrod will rise to power and “shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.” (Dan. 7:23) Scripture informs us that this “son of perdition” will be revealed to the world “in his time,” after the Holy Spirit is removed from the earth. For this reason, Barack Obama cannot be the Antichrist, who is yet to be revealed.
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,” 2 Thess. 2:3-9
