Concerning Obama's Election

Recently, following the recent election results, I received an email, forwarded a few days before,that had originated with a family that has always been dear to my heart. It was a letter authored by Dutch Sheets, an Evangelical pastor, urging people to support the McCain/Palin ticket. The reasons, as you may or may not already be aware of, focused primarily on the worrisome likelihood that President-Elect Obama is pro-choice and would appoint supreme court justices reflecting this opinion, so-called “liberal Justices” [sic.]. Pastor Sheets goes onto invoke the The Book of Daniel 10, which relates to the message Daniel received, deemed apocalyptic by some, referring to the King of Persia and Israel, particularly as the angel Michael is mentioned herein and later in Jude 9 and finally in Revelations 12.
