President Barack Obama has been in office for more than seven months, and his campaign rhetoric of “hope” and “change” already has been producing results, but what those results are remains the question for many as WND’s “How’s Your HOPE and CHANGE Working Out So Far?” Magnetic Bumper Sticker this week is No. 1 among best-sellers at the WND Superstore.
A WND reader has pointed out a highway sign near Durham, S.C., that challenges the benefit of Obama’s “hope” and “change” with a listing of “More debt, more taxes, more welfare regulation, more government, more wasteful spending and more corruption.”
The bumper sticker raises the same concerns in a pointed way.
Is it really beneficial to the United States to have the government bailing out insurance carriers, financial institutions, car companies and other industries? Is it good to have issues such as the “Fairness Doctrine” to censor conservative speech on the horizon? What about mandatory swine flu vaccinations? What about new gun rules and regulations? What about a plethora of characters with questionable past – or current – associations in high-ranking positions throughout the federal government? What about having tax cheats running the IRS? Will the U.S. continue to support Israel?
The bumper sticker seeks answers to questions about all those issues and others. It also allows people to make a statement about their concerns.
If you’re tired of being quiet about what’s going on in the nation, this is your opportunity to express yourself in a bold fashion that suggests others, too, consider what the campaign rhetoric has come to mean, and decide whether that actually is good for the country.
The bumper sticker is 15 inches by nearly four inches and is perfect not only for a car, but also a refrigerator, file cabinet or any other magnetic surface.
In second place this week is “The Islamic Antichrist” by Joel Richardson.
Richardson, a student of Islam, exposes Western Christians to the Muslim traditions. He says most Christians have no idea of the stunning similarities between the biblical Antichrist and the “Islamic Mahdi.”
Richardson’s book stands in stark contrast to most other popular prophecy books of the last 40 years.
He says after decades of reading popular prophecy books and even best-selling fiction like the “Left Behind” series, millions of evangelical Christians around the world are expecting the Antichrist to emerge from a revived Roman Empire, which many have assumed is associated with the Roman Catholic Church and the European Union.
But he argues that’s not so. His book makes the case that the biblical Antichrist is one and the same as the Quran’s Muslim Mahdi.
“The Bible abounds with proofs that the Antichrist’s empire will consist only of nations that are, today, Islamic,” says Richardson. “Despite the numerous prevailing arguments for the emergence of a revived European Roman empire as the Antichrist’s power base, the specific nations the Bible identifies as comprising his empire are today all Muslim.”
Richardson believes the key error of many previous prophecy scholars involves the misinterpretation of a prediction by Daniel to Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel describes the rise and fall of empires of the future, leading to the endtimes. Western Christians have viewed one of those empires as Rome, when, claims Richardson, Rome never actually conquered Babylon and was thus disqualified as a possibility.
It had to be another empire that rose and fell and rose again that would lead to rule of this “man of sin,” described in the Bible. That empire, he says, is the Islamic Empire, which did conquer Babylon and, in fact, rules over it even today.
Many evangelical Christians believe the Bible predicts a charismatic ruler, the Antichrist, will arise in the last days, before the return of Jesus. The Quran also predicts that a man, called the Mahdi, will rise up to lead the nations, pledging to usher in an era of peace. Richardson makes the case these two men are, in fact, one in the same.
In third place is WND’s “Where’s The Birth Certificate” Magnetic Bumper Sticker.
WND’s archives already are filled with reports on the dispute over Obama’s eligibility, based on unanswered questions about whether he meets the U.S. Constitution’s requirement that the president be a “natural born” citizen.
There also have been launched a campaign to post signs in yards on the question as well as an effort to raise money to put up billboards asking the simple question.
This bumper sticker allows you to ask the same question all the time.
