Boomer with Attitude / News Bush's alarming Iraq-Bible prophecies come to light
Posted By John Grooms on Tue, May 26, 2009 at 11:10 AM
It's a busy morning. in which President Obama has nominated Federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court (thank you, Obama), and we've learned that Larry "Ol' Walleye" Gauvreau is leaving the School Board (thank you, Jesus). But there's a story that popped up, and disappeared quickly, over the holiday weekend that deserves to be pointed out — especially around Memorial Day, as it gives a frankly frightening view of the U.S. President's bizarre, backward mindset during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq.
It turns out that in 2003, George W. Bush, while trying to convince foreign leaders to help out in Iraq, told France's President Jacques Chirac — get this — that the Biblical creatures Gog and Magog were hard at work in the Middle East and had to be defeated. Gog and Magog — ill-defined beings that are supernatural forces of the Apocalypse, monsters, evil men or maybe even an entire country — are referred to in Genesis, Ezekiel, and Revelation. Here's an excerpt from Revelation: "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."
Bush — who was, you remember, President of the United States of America, not some uneducated, backwoods preacher — told Chirac, "This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people's enemies before a New Age begins." As a friend e-mailed this morning, "He's even crazier than I thought!" Here's the story, which also explains how this new, alarming information has finally come to light.
