One needs to look no further for blatant persecution of Christ than at President B.O.’s Georgetown speech.  What? You read it right.  The White House asked that Georgetown cover up a monogram symbolizing Jesus’ name in Gaston Hall, where President B.O. was speaking.

Call me crazy, but doesn’t it sound an awful lot like denial?  I wonder what his trusty evangelical sidekick Rick Warren thought about it?  Or perhaps this quote from Catholic University spokesman Victor Nakas sums it up:

"I can’t imagine, as the bishops’ university and the national university of the Catholic Church, that we would ever cover up our religious art or signage for any reason," Mr. Nakas wrote. "Our Catholic faith is integral to our identity as an institution of higher education."

Somehow this instantly moves me to 2 Timothy.  Something about Christ returning a favor to us the way we showed it to him,

if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; (2 Timothy 2:12)

Being “denied” by Christ is a death sentence.  Anything that will result in eternal separation is death.

And perhaps even more profound or prophetic was the image ran in the article (shown above) of President B.O. looming as the monogram was eclipsed behind him in the dark.  Perhaps that is prophetic in itself as to where we’re headed.
