Hi-

I keep hearing that a "man from the East" will come in the end times, and I'm wondering where in the Bible this is? I keep hearing it in relation to Obama, of course. Could someone point me to at least the right book? :)

Thanks much,
Sara :)

I'd suspect the book is Revelation. Revelation 16:12 mentions the Euphrates river drying up so that kings from the east could march west without hindrance.

I believe this is part of a Nostradamus prophecy. As such, it's very much not Biblical.

It always makes me giggle a bit though... "East of what, exactly?" I guess everywhere is east if you look that way far enough. You're even east of yourself. Freaky huh. ;)

No I'm not. I'm actually slightly northwest of myself, thank you very much.
