The phrase "I see Satan fall like lightning" comes from Luke 10:18. I'd previously encountered it on insane right-wing conspiracy theory websites. You can rephrase it as "I see Satan descend to earth in the form of lightning." But "lightning" 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's famous book I See Satan Fall Like Lightning isn't directly about Barack Obama being the Antichrist. It's 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'll do it in such an intellectual and polymathic Continental philosophy way that we can't even get mad.
