If only this were not real… …no, not his stupid words, but the idiot himself. The stupid burns. I grew up around zealots like this, and it still gets my temper going.
I mean, if you are gonna believe made up stuff to be zealous about, why would you choose all doom and gloom?
This is the type of video that flashes in my head when I’m standing in line at the grocery store.
I look around wondering, “Who, out of all these seemingly sane and normal looking people around me, is really a crazy youtubing zealot?”
This old man pushed me over the edge, I made an account just to comment. I assume that’s the mark? Now what do I get to buy? I’ve got some pocket lint to sell.
@sjburnt: But it’s doom and gloom for others. The people watching this are convinced they won’t live through the pain, torture and death, but get to watch from the sidelines. They’ll be among the chosen when the Nazz returns and kills all his followers (okay, they say he takes them to heaven, but I don’t see how that differs from killing). The popular Christian apocalypse mythology is revenge porn.
Considering the Christ is over 1900 years late for the party, I think they should just turn off the lights, pay the bill, and move on. Face it, you got stood up.
Don’t worry, there are plenty other dieties in the sky. I’m sure you’ll find one that won’t make empty promises.
This guy is a blasphemer. God Promised Abraham that he would have as many descendants as there are stars in the sky and grains of sand on the sea shore. Those are not small numbers.
Until Abraham has ~10^21 descendants God can’t bring on Armageddon without breaking His Promise, the founding Promise of the Abrahamic Religions. If God breaks that Promise, then nothing else in any of those religions can be relied on.
When he said Obama is, “a leopard which comes from the sea,” I was sure he was joking. A sea leopard, really? What’s next? Is Hillary Clinton going to be a sky whale?
…well I guess its prophesied. I dunno though, am I the only one who thinks it would freakin’ sweet to have a president with four heads and four wings?
Anyway, maybe that’s the Dems strategy for the fall, Obama reveals that he’s secretly “Leopard-King” the four headed, four winged crime fighting vigilante, who’s been saving the world repeatedly, since his creation in a secret government lab in Kenya.
Transforming from a mild mannered biracial president into a winged leopard-hydra would be change we all could believe in.
Yes we can change into leopard-creatures!
Yes we can!
And thus was the fourth sign unleashed upon the Earth as the Anti-Randi sang all the wrong lyrics to “O Tannenbaum” at church camp, and the Skeptics knew the end was nigh, yea verily. And also sea leopards, amen.
I prophesy that this nut will be disappointed when it turns out Obama is just another average politician who will end his reign in America not with fire and tribulation, but with another election for a new president.
Also, when did Obama start a war he could not end? They may never end, but Obama sure didn’t start them.
Wait a minute – I’m using logic in response to this when it would be more appropriate to put on a red squeaky nose and throw pies.
He’s like the religious Wesley Willis, only not as talented. I don’t know about you, but the lyrics really sell me on that church stuff. Sounds like joy all over the place.
Also, rhyming “gone” with “gone” and … “gone” once more?
I thought lazyness was one of the 7 deadly sins?
I suspect I would prefer sitting through a Justin Bieber concert rather than hearing this again. And only because then I wouldn’t mutilate as much of myself in the process.
I think that all things considered the previous POTUS was a much better fit for the “Leopard king”. He had at least two visible wing-like appendages on either side of his head for starters.
Exarch: first potbelly pig of the Anti-homeopathy illuminati supremacy.
A language hasn’t been invented that has words to properly describe the amazing amount of searing stupidity in that. I’m going to ram an S.O.S. Pad in and out of my ear vigorously to see if I can scour the memory of that out of my brain. I know it won’t work, but maybe the pain from that can replace the pain caused by that song.
I just realized: according to this guy, Jesus was waiting not only for the country called America to form, but for a certain president to take office before his return. I guess he forgot to mention that before he left. Well, we can’t all be perfect, I guess. We’re only human, after all.
I could only stomach about 60 seconds of this song. The music itself is atrocious, then add to that the abominable, incomprehensible lyrics. It made my ears and brain twitch. But then I caught myself humming it! “It’s prophesied! It’s Prophesied! You can run but you can’t hide!” over and over in my skull. THAT’S how they get you! Luckily I was able to force it out of my head with “Can You Picture That?” by Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.
Ouch, can I have the last 4 minutes of my life back?
It’s prof-oh-sighed….It’s prof-oh-sighed…

Because it’s not HIS doom and gloom, it’s everyone else’s. In short, his beliefs make him better than others.

OK, enough picking on Comic Sans…. especially when it’s innocent of the crime.

Love the Casio for this.
That’s pretty close, but it’s not exactly Comic Sans. It hurts my eyes just as bad, though.

Wow. I bet that guy has a friend in Jesus.

This guy is a whole bag of crazy. He says WWIII is going to start this fall:

“If you wait for 2012 you will BE TOO LATE!”
oooo, that made my brain hurt.
I think I’ll go read “Good Omens: the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch”.
Now there is an Armageddon I can totally get behind.
More evidence that the music is better in Hell.

Judging from the above comments it seems that this video is genuine.. not a satire. Crazy, and severely lacking in musical talent!
He’s like the religious Wesley Willis, only not as talented. I don’t know about you, but the lyrics really sell me on that church stuff. Sounds like joy all over the place.
“Third Eagle of the Apocalypse”? That’s a hell of a title!
I think we should all come up with awesome titles for ourselves based on that whole (number) (animal) of (event) scheme!
Can I be Rei Malebario: First Panda of the Financial Crisis?
@Rei Malebario: I call Twenty-Third Marmot of the Oil Spill
Sir, I served with George Hrab, I knew George Hrab, George Hrab was a friend of mine. Sir, you’re no George Hrab.

COTW FTW!
Until I read the comments you all left, I thought this guy was joking.
Me fail.

If you go to this guys youtube channel you can read his profile. Absolute, unadulterated Nutjobbery.
I was laughing too hard to pay attention to all of the lyrics.
I want to call this guy “The Dirge and Drum Machine.” It has a great beat and you can dance to it. I give it a 75!
