THE GOLDEN STATUE

Many Americans are heartened at the shock and awe campaign to eliminate the funding of projects that are detrimental to our families, children, and societal cohesion.  So much of the underbelly of corruption in the government is being exposed seemingly every day. The pushing of an immoral agenda worldwide including drag queen shows, the support of the mutilation of confused young people who have not come to peace about the binary gender God created them to live and thrive in.

Yet, we know that leaders with good intentions are not perfect and sometimes they do the craziest things not advisable for ANYONE, let alone a major leader.   The Prez on Truth Social shared an AI-generated video of his vision for Gaza as a Riviera in the Middle East. A debatable concept, but one that was seemingly intended to get people thinking of solutions other than the status quo that has clearly been an abject failure. We know a two-state solution cannot work when one side wants the other erased. Israel was actually living with a defacto multi-state solution when the horror struck October 7, 2023. A rather diverse group of people, while seemingly not wanting the Vegas-like vibe depicted in the AI-generated video, they do believe some other solution is needed and this video opened the door to thinking outside the box. 

In that video, which shows a war-torn area transformed into some resort area like Miami Beach, Vegas,  or some other pleasure place like that, a child is carrying a gold Trump balloon and there is actually a huge golden statue of Trump that is reminiscent of the one erected by Nebuchadnezzar thousands of years ago. While no one was asked to bow and worship, one scene was like what the Children of Israel did when Moses was on the mountain.  The married President was also dancing with a scantily clad woman in an atmosphere like Vegas we hardly should want to export. America has exported enough cultural garbage around the world through USAid and other entities that we need to stop and for sure not seem to want to do it even more. This looked like something the President's enemies would have produced to viciously lampoon him, but HE is the one who shared it himself.

AI will do what you say, and would not it have been great to see Jews, Arabs, and Palestinians living in a normal way with churches and synagogues open to all - the beachfront a place for families to go to relax, share with one another, and enjoy God's creation with a Democratic and not an authoritarian government pushing life, wholesomeness, and cooperation instead of the death and violence that has been synonymous with Gaza since Israel gave them self-governance?

I am praying that the President will truly have a Nathan to advise him so that the things our country needs done will not be sabotaged by those who do not distinguish between what the voters had in mind in supporting the need for massive changes and a cleaning out of negative activities, especially those paid for on the taxpayers' dime, vs. any ideas that come to mind but not being thoroughly thought out. In a multitude of counselors, there is safety, and I have redoubled my prayer efforts so that our nation will become a fairer, more moral, and more just place. I pray for salvation for our leaders - some know you, but most do not appear to. I have prayed for people in the government for many years, and we still need to do that, perhaps more than ever, as the battle lines are getting more distinct and sharper and the middle ground has been vanishing.  We must always side with what is right, never what is simply expedient, and we must always be fair in our judgments.  Personally, I am a huge fan of foreign aid wisely spent, as $100 will feed a child in El Salvador for a year, while bringing the child here multiplies that cost by 100.  I put my own money where my mouth is, helping people in other nations to overcome the cards they have been dealt. I hope our nation will not throw out the proverbial baby with the filthy bathwater, but truly minister righteously and compassionately without the political agendas that have stained those efforts over the last few years.  We can do this! May God bless as you intercede for our  nation!
