President Trump's latest rally was in a hanger at the Pittsburgh International Airport, about 18 miles from where I am sitting and typing right now. I'm about 10 miles outside of Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District where a special election has been making national headlines for the past week.
The President said that he was going to have to have a new slogan in his campaign for a second term because in "just fourteen months" he already made America great again....."I can't say 'Make America Great Again' because I already did that." So the new slogan will be...."Keep America Great."
Nebuchadnezzar was well aware of Daniel's interpretation of a dream....yet in the next two verses we read....."All this happened to Nebuchadnezzar the king. Twelve months later he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon. The king reflected and said, 'Is this not Babylon the great which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?" Nebuchadnezzar then spent...."seven periods of time".....whatever the length of those time periods were.....eating grass like the cattle.
Have we really all of a sudden become....great again? Isn't that a little presumptuous? Might it not be edifying for all Christians to go back and read the fourth and fifth chapters of the Book of Daniel....and would not Solomon's words in Proverbs 27:1,2 be better to rally around?
"Do not boast about tomorrow,
For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Let another praise you, and not your own mouth;
a stranger, and not your own lips.
