I guess we'll have to wait and see. You will wait for those signs and portents, and I will be curious to see which events you decide are those signs, and how you interpret them to fit. In any case, is there a general timeline here for when this all happens? What I mean is, how long before you admit that Obama wasn't the anti-christ and you start skimming the headlines for the next best candidate?

Good post Tonus, there are no other candidates, we get past Hanukkah (Dec 7 2015) and I hit the wall.
Mouth shut after that.
5 biblical cycles converge this year- if those are co-incidental, I am done with this topic.

Yes! He's given a condition for his predictions, and will cease them if that condition is not met! Good on you prof!

I'd miss you if you decided to go away, prof!

Maybe next time the sonofabitch will think twice before he tries to meddle in American internal politics. I hope we Americans start taking steps to eliminate our aid to Israel, in the absence of their willingness to work towards peace.
If our money does not buy influence in their decisions, then we should withdraw it, and let them go their own way, as they seem intent on doing.
Sour Grapes there, PT? I think we should pull our money away from the Palestinians. They're the rank bastards who celebrated in their streets when the Twin Towers came down on 911.
Obviously, foreign policy was a major concern for the Israelis, especially with the threat of a nuclear armed Iran. They wanted a strong leader, rather than voting for someone who's weak and naive like barack. Netanyahu is now the longest serving Prime Minister in Israeli history, (recent history).
2016 can't come too soon to finally be rid of barack obama, and of more democrats.
