The phrase \u201cI see Satan fall like lightning\u201d comes from Luke 10:18. I\u2019d previously encountered it on insane right-wing conspiracy theory websites. You can rephrase it as \u201cI see Satan descend to earth in the form of lightning.\u201d But \u201clightning\u201d in Hebrew is barak. So the Bible says Satan will descend to Earth in the form of Barak. Seems like a relevant Bible verse for insane right-wing conspiracy theorists!

Philosopher / theologian Rene Girard\u2019s famous book I See Satan Fall Like Lightning isn\u2019t directly about Barack Obama being the Antichrist. It\u2019s an ambitious theory-of-everything for anthropology, mythography, and the Judeo-Christian religion. After solving all of those venerable fields, it will, sort of, loop back to Barack Obama being the Antichrist. But it\u2019ll do it in such an intellectual and polymathic Continental philosophy way that we can\u2019t even get mad.
