Speaking of the Biblical stuff their was the guy that said he had a vision of Sarah Palin as a modern-day Esther and was told my God to see her at a rally and tell her. Some freepers even said they called the guy and he sounded very normal and humble. Who knows.

But - I read the story of Esther at the time, and was going to say something then, but felt best to wait.

In the book of Esther the Jews are in exile. The King that takes Esther for his wife has been in power for 3 years before he makes her his wife, keeps all the Jews from being killed, and puts Esther’s relative (Mordecai) on his court.

Anyway - Esther is in Captivity for quite some time before being in a position of power to save her nation.

Yes, I heard that story, too. As a charismatic and a Freeper, though, I am wary of a lot of the lunatic fringe stuff that charismatics do to the detriment of all Christians everywhere. Even a bit nervous of some of Palin’s religious associations... One thing that the lunatic fringe always seem to do is assign Old Testament icons (like Esther) to Post New Testament modern situations. I've heard the "you are a modern “Esther” thing a lot. But I don't know if that guy was just making things up because they sounded good or if that really was a word from God. If it encouraged Palin, I am pleased, Lord knows she needs it!

Nonetheless I do believe Mitt is working behind the scenes to take Palin out while the iron is “hot” so to speak. The “towel” story is so smarmy, I somehow only think a religious person would even use it... a “religious” non Christian like Romney or his goons. What a low blow against Palin.

Rino Mormon anyone?
