“wouldn’t that size of a bolt do ‘some’ real damage IF it had hit directly .. as stated?”

Maybe so, maybe not, but it looks clear to me that the lightning is not hitting the statue.

It’s ominous looking to me, too.

Barack (ברק) is Hebrew for lightning.

Recall that the SOL waved a red flag three weeks before 911. (It's on my FReep page, along with an archived link to a FReeper warning.)

Sometimes a messenger is compelled to deliver a message, even if the messenger does not understand the meaning.

Damage is minimal when lightning strikes a gigantic conductor.

reminds me of that painting of God reaching down to touch the hand of mortal man. Only here it is a force directed by God
Himself coming down and striking behind the Statue so loved by
mortal man.

It happens to all of us! I have found that if you aren't quick around here, you might get run over. :)

I don’t think that actually hit the statue. I can see light through the openings.

Barack (ברק) is Hebrew for lightning.

When Barry spells his name in Hebrew then you can say that, otherwise its best to assume that it means what it was intended to mean in its native Arabic language and that is "blessed".

Furthermore, Barry is not even worthy of a footnote when it comes to human history let alone being covertly hidden in Scriptures so that the Biblically illiterate can "discover" it there. Nevertheless your transliteration is incorrect and is typical discredited voodoo hermeneutics - a foundational interpretation scheme of the Premillennial Dysfunctionalists. Its this kind of anti-scholarly foolishness that takes the transliterated Hebrew word "Rosh" in Ezekiel 38:2 and says it means "Russia" when it really means "chief" or "beginning" (like in Rosh Hashanah), dittos with "Tubal" transmogrified into the Russian city "Тобольск" (English: "Tobolsk").

You folks really torpedo the Gospel and the efforts of the evangelists when you convert the Bible from a testimony to Jesus Christ into a Magic Decoder Booklet on Where's Waldo the Antichrist. Sometimes I wonder whose side that you are on.

I can spell and say it when I want, because that is his name in Hebrew, and it is the same as lightning. The Hebrew Bible wasn't written in Arabic, and the usurper is no blessing. Esav and Ishmael are trying to pull a fast one, purposely confusing ברך (to bless as in birthright) with a bolt of lightning.

your transliteration is incorrect and is typical discredited voodoo hermeneutics - a foundational interpretation scheme of the Premillennial Dysfunctionalists.

A false accuser is no "friend of God".

ברק אובמה

ברק

You folks...

Pffft. Your strawman is a man of the field, destined for the burn.
