AIPAC Speaker: Obama Can't Be the Anti-Christ "Because He's Not a Jew"

[Purveyor]

Bishop Edwin Harper is a self-described "fanatic" who says he is eagerly awaiting the Rapture. He also believes that when the Anti-Christ appears, he will be a Jew.

This year, the American Israeli Public Affairs Conference (AIPAC) -- America's most influential pro-Israel organization -- has invited Harper to speak at its annual conference in Washington DC.

In 2012, Harper appeared before his Apostolic Life Catherdral in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Before a lively Sunday crowd, Harper devoted a sermon to the coming nuclear war with Iran and the impending Rapture.

As he worked himself into a lather about the coalition of evildoers that would converge against goodly and godly Christendom, Harper suddenly diverged into a tirade against Obamacare, warning his audience that they would have government-owned chips installed in their hands and skulls if they signed up.

According to Harper, government-subsidized healthcare was a Satanic enterprise -- but the president that conceived it was a mere tool of Lucifer.

“Is Obama the Anti-Christ?," Harper asked his audience. "No. He don't qualify. He’s not a Jew! You've got have a Jew!"

2. Well sure! The Messiah was a Jew, so why not the Anti-Christ!?

Yeah Harper is a fanatic alright, gleefully hoping for the deaths of billions so he can go sit around with God and chew the fat.

4. Watch the video of his sermon if you can

And know that there are vast numbers of people across the United States and around the world listening to and fervently believing similar sermons given every Sunday.

5. The idea that the antichrist will be Jewish is very, very old.

The Bible actually says that the antichrist will first appear as a false messiah, purporting to be the messiah foretold in the Torah and the Old Testament (while presumably claiming that Jesus was a false prophet). People will flock to the false messiah believing that he is here to bring peace to the world.

Both the Christian Old Testament and the Hebrew Scriptures make it unavoidably clear that anyone claiming to be a "messiah" has to be a descendant of the line of King David. That means, unavoidably, that they must be of Jewish lineage.

8. I'm atheist, but I think that religious Christian and Jewish people most likely believe

that the anti-Christ would be a world leader that would act and seem like a charmer and all around nice guy.

9. Choice of speakers says a lot about AIPAC.

Their annual March meeting begins a barrage of American Israelites visiting every Congressman with their wish lists. A good friend who participated one year describes a political machine like he had never seen.
