Whether it is a great country or a small third-world country....at that moment when a revolution or a war is won....whether it is for good....as when the United States Army's 28th Division marched around the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs de Elysees in August of 1944....or for evil as when the Bolsheviks succeeded....it is a moment for history to record as an epic triumph.
In our day....to us known as baby boomers....and to the people of West Germany....and even East Germany....that moment was when the Berlin Wall was chipped away with hammers and axes....and in essence fell. Today may prove to be such a day. The critics have astonishingly been silenced....well most of us anyway. Victory in Europe Day....or the surrender of Japan....or Appomattox....or when the British were trapped on the Yorktown or Virginia Peninsula....leading to the surrender of General Cornwallis...these moments may have a new addition to their number....in the astounding resurrection from oblivion of Donald Trump....even from a head wound....this coinciding with a transformation from a timid first term beginning to a...."Conquering and to conquer".....second term beginning.
As it stands right now....it is one of those epic revolutions in history. Napolean Bonaparte was forced to abdicate in April of 1814....and banished to Elba. His powerful charisma somehow restored him to his throne after only eleven months....but that return only lasted one hundred days.
On the one hand there are the masses that are celebrating....but there must also be those....maybe not only a few....who with tankards of beer being raised all around them....are meditating on the victory celebration that they are witnessing. It's more than just a win. A college football team will win the national championship tonight....and in a few days it will be filed away under great victories....but this inauguration is a blitsgrieg....pincers cutting here and there and everywhere. Is there something else going on here....they may be forced to ask themselves?
Whatever it turns out to be....it is one of those moments....not just a watershed moment that takes time to play out....but a battering ram whereupon the entire army invades the castle....routing all the inhabitants....and freeing all the prisoners.
To the Christian....not the Make America Great Again variety....or the thank you Jesus for the touchdown variety....but the....'God be merciful to me a sinner".....Christian....there is a sense of wonder at what is transpiring. How does it relate to the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior and King? Surely....because of all the emphasis on God bless America....and one glorious nation under God....and now a new golden age....the exact opposite of what God's Word is telling us....this whole thing is biblical and not just historical! This man who has continuously prophesied to us in the church for nine years....must either be a true prophet....or a false prophet....there is no in between....and this that we are watching must be either....David dancing into Jersalem as the Ark is being brought up....or Phinehas and Hophni dragging the Ark of the Covenant into battle....only to lose it?
Addendum: AI is one of the biggest dangers than mankind faces right now....and there is no stopping or even controlling it...and it is most definitely part of end-times prophecy. Trump's big announcement today was that three tech giants are investing $500 billion in an AI super project....in America. Trump's mind is robotic....'if it makes money for him or gives him glroy....he'll do it. Nothing else matters in the decision.'
