2012 & Revelations coincidence?

Submitted by Andrea (United States), Mar 15, 2008 at 17:09

Ancient religious societies have one thing in common. Their calendars go no farther than the year 2012. Many believe 2012 is the end of the world as we know it.

The book of Revelations speaks of 3 years of peace before the antichrist causes world chaos, and the end of the world as we know it begins.

The next election is a year away.

After reading so many of your blogs, and immersing myself in dozens of articles, I have to wonder why Barack Obama is so overwhelmingly popular over Hillary Clinton (not my choice). After all, Clinton had America behind her from the moment she put her hat into the ring. Obama, only a Jr. Senator with little or no previous credits. Watching the debates only made me question this further. After all, their political beliefs seem so similar that one would think America would surely back Senator Clinton, with her experience and long list of accomplishments. But no. That's not the way America or the media responded. Why not?

To make me even more skeptical, I wonder why a boy (Barack) growing up in Indonesia going by the name Barry, would go back to using Barack, especially when his interests turned to politics. You would think the media would jump on this, as they jumped on Mitt Romney being a Mormon. But no, not even a hint of interest.

How about that.
