I was reading the Sefer Eliyahu (Book of Elijah) (No, it's not in the bible), But in my internet search I ran across the following article which I found interesting and thought I would share:
Obama as described in the ancient Oral Torah (Zohar and Midrash)
1) Zohar Chadash – Parshas Balak 68b-69a: Near the end of page 68b it says: “A man, unsuitable to rule (the world), will be 'brought to power' in the very Last Days... there will be other men similarly undeserving to be leaders at that time.”
Simply turning the page to 69a and: “A Shul (Chabad house) in the South of the world (Mumbai, India) is utterly destroyed among which 5 tzaddikim perish.” This happened on November 27, 2008 just 3 weeks after Obama's election the events of which are written in the Zohar in this sequence. The Zohar Chadash explains that this latter event makes Hashem extremely angry and fervently zealous to designate both Mashiach ben Yoseph and Mashiach ben Dovid by the subsequent holiday of Shavuos 5769.
The Zohar Chadash further states on that same page: “With a soft spoken, slick sounding voice, he will do as he pleases, he will rule.” “And this king, that rules with a slick voice, will rule with great rage and wrath attacking the holy nation (Israel). Sage commentators: “Harboring many enraged thoughts, he singles out only Israel from among all the nations of the world, giving them trouble and grief, dictating to them many evil edicts.” (Halt all Jewish building, split Jerusalem into a capitol for a Palestinian state, redeploy American troops from Iraq to West Bank to insure a nuclear free Middle East, i.e. Israel.
2) Prophet Daniel 7:25:
"And he shall think to “change” the times and (his country and Israel's) religion (“Obamerica is a Muslim nation”); and they (the holy nation) shall be given into his hands until a time, and times, and half a time.” The commentaries say this is three and a half years (from six months into his term - until the end of his term). “Immediately afterward arrives the Final Redemption,” according to the Prophet who is one of two people (Daniel and Yaakov) to know the End date.
3) (A Midrash about the signs just prior to Mashiach):
“And the Westerners (democrat politicians) will arrogantly come to seize power setting up the kingdom in a manner so that they should rule without end.” (socialism, nanny state, amnesty for illegals, bailouts, government takeovers, economic stimulus', Kennedy Health Care Plan, etc., etc.) “And in the those same (End) days a shameless King will rise... and he will seize the Kingdom with a smooth and slick tongue.”
4) (Another Midrash) Sefer Eliyahu chapter 3
“After the last king of Persia (AchmadeniJihad - Hashem will erase his name) goes up and speaks out against Edom (America - in the U.N.) for three years in succession... a man (will then come to power), who is the least (ideologically respected, and a bold-faced liar) among all the (historic Edomite) kings and is the son of a maid who washes clothes in a tub... He is very tall, has a long face with a wide forehead, thin, thin thighs.”
Stated on the same first page of this Midrash:“After the last King of Iran has power for three years and 12 months” (elected in June 2005, Achmadenijad took office on August 6, 2005) “he will be held liable in it” (starting with his fraudulent re-election in mid June 2009 followed perhaps by a repeat terrorist attack against Mumbai, India and Mexico (this time nuclear – see Navi Yoel 1:15-2:13) as is depicted on the fifth line of this Midrash).
On the bottom of the first page it continues:“Then, on the twentieth of the month called Mar (bitter) Cheshvan, the entire world will shake through a seismic noise that will sound from the earth until the sky.” This Hebrew date uniquely falls out on November 7th 2009 , though a year is not mentioned, implied is after around 4 years +3 (months) that the last ruler of Iran has held power. So this time frame is August 6, 2005 – November 7, 2009. Not so coincidentally, this date is also the exact one-year anniversary of this final king of Edom's election (Obama) and the month of the first series of Mumbai attacks. Obama was elected just days prior to the 70 year commemoration of Krystall Nacht. But why was Mumbai attacked in the first place and why perhaps again in a much more devastating way as Sodom was that begins the nine-months of chevlay – birth pangs before Mashiach?
An autistic Jewish young man (Binyamin Golden December 1, 2009) is quoted through verified facilitated communication: “Notice the place where all this happened. Mumbai, India, is a city centered around money [it is India's financial center]. It is a major city of the Olam Hazeh [materialism, the "golden calf"]: full of Western tourism, restaurants, fancy hotels, etc. Moreover, the essence of India is based on avodah zara and there is avodah zara (equivalent to idol worship) in every corner. And along with that, Mumbai is also filled with the spiritual filth of the Western countries, gashmius [materialism] and many other things hated by Hashem. That is why it is an appropriate place to pass on this message against the Golden Calf [“The Holy Cow,”a euphemism for materialism and the vanities of this world].
This is only one small example of what is supposed to take place, throughout the entire world, if we don't do teshuva and eradicate the terrible impurity that was created by our sins (see Joel 1:15-2:13). That is why it was so vicious. Yet this is still small in comparison with what is waiting for the world if Am Yisrael does not destroy the Egel Hazahav (golden calf) and return to the service of Hashem.
Unfortunately, most of the Jews nowadays are very absorbed in the ways and lifestyles of the gentiles, which revolve around gashmius and the Egel Hazahav. But now Hashem is putting an end to the golden calf, destroying it completely. It is already in the process of dying [Banks failing, stocks plunging, bankruptcies, unemployment skyrocketing, etc.
However we are not entirely finished with the Egel Hazahav yet, and many Jews are still dreaming and wishing that the world would return to the way it was not too long ago, when money was flowing and people were very busy with shopping and walking around immodestly and all the other materialistic, frivolous things which are the exact opposite of Hashem's will - which is His Torah and His mitzvos.
Yet now, while the Egel Hazahav is dying, many Jews who have become so dependent on the excess materialism of the world, find that they must curtail the extravagant lifestyles they have led until now. They are confused and don't know what to do. They are willing to pray to Hashem for livelihood, but in most cases they are still not prepared to do real and complete teshuva and make the decision to never again return to their old forbidden lifestyle, their life of excessive materialism, of the Golden Calf [See Mesillas Yesharim, chapter 1, which explains that the true good life of a Jew is exactly the opposite of the Egel Hazahav].
As long as they are not willing to do real teshuva and go back to being true Jews, then there will continue to be terrible tragedies. It will continue until the present world of sheker [falsehood] completely crumbles and those unwilling to do teshuva will disappear from the world, chas veshalom [see Rambam, Hilchos Teshuva, chapter 8, halacha 5], because in the imminent coming world of Emes [Truth], only people of Truth can live.
Two of our prophets, Zacharia and Ezekiel, gave us different versions of how the world as we know it will end. According to one prophecy, many nations will come to Israel to fight against and destroy the Jewish people. But since the Jews will have done teshuva, Am Yisrael will not be harmed [see Ezekiel 38]. However, if chas veshalom, we don't do teshuva, there is the other version, may we never know of it. And that is, that the war will reach all the way to Jerusalem, with terrible seismic quakes and many, many deaths, etc. [see Zachariah 14 and Radak on Joel 3:2]. There will be many victims and relatively very few will receive Moshiach Tzidkenu.”
Finally, a couple of pages later the same Midrash discussed above it says: “Before Edom (America/Britain) falls from power, 10 places will be destroyed - 10 places will be overturned, and 15 states will be destroyed and this same arrogant king (Obama) will stand up and decree evil decrees from his kingdom,” indicating these events are to occur over the next 3 years.
