A Man More Wicked Than Bin Laden

Summary

One day during a church service at Grace Canberra (www.gracecanberra.org.au), I was listening to my pastor, Brian Medway preach. I got the word, "A man more wicked than Bin Laden will soon rise up." Then I read an article called "the Elders" on Kerry Denten's web site (www.windfarm.org.au) on April 10, 2008. In it he described three prominent word leaders: Nelson Mandela, Richard Branson and Peter Gabriel, who joined together to discuss important world issues. As I read the article, I was reminded of a dream I had in 2001, and another I had in June 2008 (which are detailed below).

As a result of all this, I have had an unfolding realization, a deep sense of a revelation about a man who will shortly appear on the world scene. My personal suspicion is that he is already around, but time will tell on that. He is a highly intelligent and well educated man, of Middle Eastern decent. I sense that he has been educated in a Western Nation. He is well versed on a broad scale and can hold his own in any debate. He will arrive on the scene 'just at the nick of time' when the world is seeking answers. This man will be an insidious, evil person who rises to world leadership in the name of doing good. He will be a false "miracle worker", wicked in his heart and "righteous" looking in his deeds.

The First Dream

My first glimpse of him was in a dream within a dream in the year 2001. I walked into an auditorium which was totally empty apart from me and a man who stood behind a podium on the stage before me. It was as though he was about to give a speech and my entering the room interrupted him.

We stared at each other. There was a long period of silence. I had time to take in his appearance: He was a man who knew how to dress well, his suit was modern and expensive. He was in mid 30's with dark hair and dark eyes. He had a European/ Middle Eastern appearance (olive skin, black hair). What stuck out the most about this man were his eyes. I was drawn to them by intrigue as I looked at the unusual glasses he was wearing. I mean, everything he was wearing was modern and trendy but his glasses were old fashioned. They were thick black rimmed glasses. As I looked at his glasses, our eyes locked. That's when it became very uncomfortable. Something happened. I suddenly knew who he was by the spirit; it was as though, I had received knowledge of his identity. It was beyond my natural understanding. He continued to study me tilting his head from side to side as an eagle studying its prey. It was very unnerving as though, he too was receiving understanding as to my identity. Then the vision ended.

I kept this vision in my heart for many years. During the early hours of Sunday morning 29 June 2008, I had a second dream.

The Second Dream

I was watching what looked like a news clip of a man standing on the steps outside a Government Building. It was a modern city (not sure where). He was speaking to the press. I understood him to be a world leader (although, he may not be playing that role) a man of prominence, a man in his 40s'.

I was particularly drawn to two items of clothing: his yellow cap, (similar to the one that Fidel Castro wore) and his matching yellow, thick-rimmed glasses. I studied his thick rimmed glasses, and then gazed into his eyes again. In the dream, I realized this was the same man I had seen before.

The dream played out more as a reflection causing me to think that it had happened in real life. It felt as though I were awake and thinking about a news clip I had watched that night on TV.

Interpretation

With the dream came the understanding that it would not be much longer before this man would step into the public eye. He was about to step into his destiny and a sign of his coming would be various earthquakes, tension over the lack of and high oil prices. Matthew 24:4-24 was the scripture placed upon my heart.

The thrust of this passage is Jesus warning his followers, "Beware that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Messiah!' and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places."

When I asked the Lord for more information, I woke one morning with the name "Barak". Given the age of Ehud Barak (a previous Israeli prime minister), and the race of Barak Obama (he is black, not olive skinned Middle Eastern) I do not think any of the current set of world leaders fits the Barak element. I think instead that this name is a pointer – Barak is a Hebrew name meaning "flash of lightning".

A man more wicked than Osama bin Laden is waiting in the wings right now. He will be a world leader. Though incredibly evil, Robert Mugabe, a Fidel Castro or Adolf Hitler were still only "national leaders" who – in the case of Adolf affected the world. An insidious evil world leader, someone who will do incredible harm is arising. Someone charismatic, who, in the name of doing "good" does evil.

Wicked is also a very interesting word – it means "twisted" straight. A candle wick is wicked – it is twisted and illuminates. It is this root word in Greek that Paul uses to describe angels of light which come to deceive (they are demons in disguise). A man more wicked than bin laden, more luminous, more twisted, more good looking and more evil working. The connection to bin laden is important – for he is a terrorist. Being a world leader would imply he is doing terrorism in the name of good.

One Scripture which comes to mind for all this is 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12:

"The lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy with the breath of his mouth, annihilating him by the manifestation of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is apparent in the working of Satan, who uses all power, signs, lying wonders, and every kind of wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion, leading them to believe what is false, so that all who have not believed the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned."
