Presidential seal falls off podium as Obama speaks
Associated Press ^ | 10/5/10 | Staff

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The presidential seal has fallen off President Barack Obama's podium and clattered to the stage as Obama delivered a speech to a women's conference.

The president was joking with the audience and getting some laughs when he realized what happened. "All of you know who I am," he quipped.

Obama told the audience that somebody in the back was really nervous, referring to the staffer who hung the seal on the front of the lectern so precariously.

The prophecy is found in Daniel chapter 5 and the surface meaning of the handwriting of God incident is provided in the verses Daniel 5:25-28.

Dan 5:25 And this is the inscription that was written:

MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

:26 This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it;

:27 TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting;

:28 PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

Most prophetic scriptures clearly portray a time dimension. This prophecy cleverly hides its prophetic nature behind the narrative.

To fully understand this prophecy it is necessary to look at the meanings of the words.

“All of you know who I am,”

As a matter of fact, all those years later and I’m still not quite sure myself.

Hmmm... Didn’t Barack Obama once go into a church in which he had all of the religious icons covered up? I wonder...

That’s true.

I just watched the video and saw his reaction. Did you notice how nervous he was...and how he was threatening the people who had prepped the stage for him? Vicious, and if he had lived at a time or in a culture where he could have done it, he would have whipped or beheaded them.

Anybody notice how Obama has to stall while they get the teleprompter back to the right place? “Where were we?”

Reagan came back and tore it off, ashamed that a foreigner was standing where a Real American is supposed to be.

Even the inanimate objects are jumping ship. We will know the end is near when we see the teleprompter go running off during an obama ‘speech.’

The only thing worse would be if the teleprompter started to read “MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN...”

If it had, would Obi-"I Won"-Kenobi know how to pronounce it? Methinks not...

That sounds like something from The Excorcist.
