Obama and Pharaoh

We know the Obama is the least popular president in Israel since Israel was reborn. Why??

Below I will post a short article from a Jewish shop owner I met in Jerusalem who is a trained Rabbi. He makes the connection between Obama and Pharaoh and believes that just like Pharaoh's heart was hardened....so has Obama's.

1) President Obama and the Hardened Heart
Moshe Kempinski

President Barak Obama and his hirelings want to topple Prime Minister Netanyahu and his duly elected government and thereby impose his own hegemony and rulership over these nasty little Jews who keep getting in the way. He is not the first who has tried to do that but he may be one of the last.

We learn in the Biblical text how Pharaoh and his people were punished. In truth that very punishment seems to be unwarranted. The text also tells us that G-d hardened Pharaoh’s heart;
But HaShem hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go. (exodus 10:20).

If that was consistently so then how could the All-Just G-d punish Pharaoh for decisions he made influenced by the heart that was hardened by G-d Himself? Our sages describe that in fact the influence on Pharaoh’s decision making came from a different source. It would have been the plagues, that were inflicted one after another that would have obliterated Pharaoh’s power of free choice. If any other human had experienced one example after another of G-d's complete control over nature and the heavens, they would not have the power or will to make any decision based on free choice. G-d hardened Pharaoh’s heart so that his power of free choice would in fact be returned to him. He hardened his heart so that the plagues which rained on Egypt would continue to impact Egypt , the world and history. Yet they would not influence Pharaoh .As a result the choices he made were still freely taken. It was these choices that he was punished for.

The same phenomenon is occurring with US president Obama. Right before his eyes and the eyes of the world, prophecy and history are beginning to transect and collide.


" Therefore prophesy, and say unto them: Thus saith HaShem G-d: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O My people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel".(Ezekiel 37:12)

Out of the camps of death and darkness a battered and skeletal people arrived on the shores of an ancient land. Most of those in the world still accustomed to talking about miracles in the past or future tenses did not recognize the beginning of a new era.

"Fear not, for I am with thee; I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north: 'Give up,' and to the south: 'Keep not back, bring My sons from far, and My daughters from the end of the earth; "(Isaiah 43:5-6)

They came from the cemeteries of Europe and they continued to come from the southern shores of Yemen. In time they traveled from northern Africa and were slowly gathered from the west and left the villages of Cush and escaped the iron curtain in the land of the north. Yet most of the world watched and thought how the phenomenon was interesting but so unlike what they were expecting of the miraculous events still to come. Unused to seeing miracles in the present they minimized these dramatic events and continued to miss the unfolding of the era.

Then the words of psalm 122 begin to blossom into reality in the summer of 1967.

A Song of Ascents; of David.I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of HaShem.' Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem; Jerusalem, that is built as a city rebuilt together( psalm 122:1-3)

A city torn asunder is brought back together. Jerusalem suddenly regains its stature as the eternal undivided capital of the Jewish people.

It was now getting very difficult to ignore the miraculous journey of this much maligned people. It is getting harder to avoid the instances of Divine intervention in the unfolding history of this people. The Jewish people were being forced to think, dream and anticipate differently than they had been during the two thousand years of exile.

" There will yet be a time when old men and old women will lean on their canes and children will play in the streets of Jerusalem",and children are again playing in the streets of Jerusalem

G-d also declares to the vineyards and orchards in the book of Ezekiel " mountains shoot forth your branches , give forth your fruit ,for My children are coming home" ( Ezekiel 36) A barren land that lay desolate for generations is beginning to bloom and blossom.

All this is happening and President Obama's heart has obviously been hardened. The unfolding of what has been declared in ancient days does not even touch his soul. Yet that decision of his to ignore the signs has been undertaken out of free choice. That come from a hardened heart and as a result those decisions will have implications.

There was a popular song for some of the other difficult days in Israel's history whose refrain went " We have withstood and passed over Pharaoh , we will do the same today" That is true of the people of Israel but I'm not so sure about President Obama and the name that he wants to impart to human history. It would be well advised for him to learn to soften his heart and become part of the “plan”

***********************************************************

Friends...what this Jew in Jerusalem is saying is VERY prophetic. As Obama continues to ignore the signs of current events colliding with Biblical prophecy....the difficulties will continue to increase on the U.S. government and the people that it governs.

What will it take for the USA to open it's eyes??....water turned to blood?....a plague of frogs?....the death of every first born??

Please continue to pray for Obama and this country....just like we would have prayed for Pharaoh, had we been there.

I guess it will be "one more night with the frogs"

James 5:7 So be patient, brethren, [as you wait] till the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits expectantly for the precious harvest from the land. [See how] he keeps up his patient [vigil] over it until it receives the early and late rains.

I’m looking for the early and late rains!
