The Obama campaign recently asked its followers to write messages on their right hands and, with their hands pressed over their hearts, pledge their allegiance to Obama by posting these pictures on Twitter or Facebook. A number of celebrities such as Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, and Jessica Alba complied.
Of course, for those who are not part of the Obama cult, such actions, as well as the very request, are creepy. The act seems more an expression of quasi-religious adoration of and not just political support for Obama. But for one who has read the New Testament closely, the actions are much more ominous.
I recently taught the book of Revelation to a local church Sunday School. In Revelation 13:16-17, the Beast requires all to receive a mark on their right hands in order to buy and sell. The mark is the number of the beast, 666, based on the numerical value of the beast's name.
Now, I do not consider Barack Obama to be the Beast of Revelation. Presumably, the Beast as the preternatural earthly embodiment of satanic evil would be more competent than the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. But I do believe that by such a request -- i.e., the demonstration of allegiance to Obama through the temporary and voluntary marking of the right hand, Obama and his administration betray their inner character.
If Obama is re-elected to office, conservative Christians need to be prepared for an unprecedented full-court press against their religious liberties in the last bastion of religious liberty on earth. People of faith must not be afraid to unswervingly resist, forearmed with the knowledge that God two thousand years ago already provided insight for his people into these matters through his Holy Scriptures.

Alba’s says “Right to Choose”. Portman’s says “WOMEN’S RIGHTS”. It’s all about killing babies to the liberals, whatever else they say. Wasserman-Schultz’s says:”OUR KIDS”. Did she add the postscript, “AT LEAST THE ONES WHO ARE ALREADY BORN”?
it had that feeling in 2008 .. where ya been?
Might as well just cut to the chase and photoshop a hammer and sickle on every one.
Mark of the beast.

Looks like a Hitler oath to me...
I could send my message with just one finger.
I’ve seen a lot of ‘two-fers’ in my time which is uncanny in how often it occurs, but I do believe this is the first ‘three-fer’ I have seen.
Are y’all in the same room?!?
Didn't quite get his hand over his heart...
All kidding aside and ignoring the biblical connotation... this is just plain scary... to pledge your loyalty to a man instead of your country .... that Obama would dare to ask... this is what dictators ask of followers....this is what happens in any totalitarian state...
They are weak minded fools.
Probably a misdirection by the Evil One so we think Zero is it. But, I would expect these same tools to be first in line when the Mark does come into play.
