"Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his Lord's....and drank wine in the presence of the thousand. While he tasted the wine, Belshazzar gave the command to bring the gold and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple which had been in Jerusalem, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.....they drank the wine, and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone..." Daniel 5:1-4
Well you know the rest.....about the handwriting on the wall. This Democrat National Convention can be put up side-by-side in comparison with Belshazzar's feast....for it in essence it is a celebration. It's not temple vessels profaned but rather God profaned. I was a Democrat....(as were both of my parent's families)....up until thirty-two years of age. This party today is in no way...shape...or form....the same political party. Gods of gold and silver and bronze and iron and wood and stone....are everywhere.
"Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon......And King Nebuchadnezzar sent word to gather the satraps, the administrators, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image which king Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Then a herald cried aloud: 'To you it is commanded, O people, nations and languages....that at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, you shall fall down and worship the gold image that King Nebuchadnezzar set up. And whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast immediately into the midst of the burning furnace." Daniel 3:1-6
On February 4, 2020....(I remember the date well for it was my 70th birthday)....all the officials gathered together for the State of the Union Speech. (As a side-note....Thomas Jefferson refused to give such a speech because he said that it was too much like England's monarch's....speech from the throne) I've posted many times on this State of the Union....for what we conservatives and Republicans and evangelicals did was....in essence...."fall down and worship the gold image."
The Trump Tower is 664"....with a rectangular base....and a slenderness ratio of 11.1 to 1. Take a quick glance at photos of the atrium waterfall and what might come to mind is the large-stoned Western Wall on the temple mount in Jerusalem. Donald Trump....born on a blood moon....whose father's mother's maiden name was Christ....are just things to think about....to keep in the back of the mind. The Democrats have many gods that they worship and sacrifice to....literally sacrifice to....and we have the golden-haired image to bow down to.
There is not a 'lesser of two evils' here. We are not obeying God by exalting a man who is known for boasting and lying and threatening. God raises kings....and causes kings to fall....all for His own purpose. We need to examine our motivations. Are we truly trying to honor God....or are just we trying to do what we perceive to be best for us?
