Messiah Watch

An occasional feature. Sen. Barack Obama is capable of writing and speaking the most magnificent, transcendent words capable of moving even the heaviest rock. And sometimes -- not often, but sometimes -- he's superluminal.

Obama, last night:

“I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal”

Messianic rating: 6/10.

Comparable to: Revelation 7:14-16

These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15Therefore,
"they are before the throne of God
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.
16Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat upon them,
nor any scorching heat.
