Luke 10:18 and Barack Obama

Q. Did Yeshua say the name of Barack Obama in Luke 10.18 and reveal to us the name of the false messiah?

A. No, but many use theological tricks to make it sound that way, but let's look at the verse. Yeshua says that "I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven." Now, he is talking about Satan's fall due to his transgression but some today think it refers to the President, They say that Barack means "lightning" and the O is a vav and said like a "o" or "u" and that "bama" means heaven. So, they say that Yeshua said "I saw Satan as Barack O'Bama." Now, that is what I referred to as theological trickery and here's why. First, the President's name is Barack, it is Swahili and Arabic in origin meaning "blessed" not lightning. In Hebrew/Aramaic lightning is said like "b'rak" (one syllable) and probably the language Yeshua used and does sound somewhat like Barack but not exactly. The vav in Hebrew/Aramaic does not sound like a "u" or "o" unless it is a vowel sound as a part of a word. Also, Yeshua said he saw Satan fall "from Heaven" which is "shamayim" not bama (heights). Why do people say that Yeshua said "heights" and not "heaven?" The answer is because "B'rak Mi Shamayim" does not sound like the name of the President and people attempt to twist the words of Yeshua to make it so. This kind of thing is being passed around as something prophetic and true but it it is nothing but another twist of the truth to fit a religious agenda and people should investigate things like this before it is passed on as something that has any merit.
