A pallet cleanser of Democrats saying that Donald Trump will never be president. Lol.

@birdchadlouis Amen!

Whoever serves as President of the United States during this next term, certain truths will remain unchanged. +The President will be a flawed, sinful human being, in need of our prayers, in whom we are not to put our trust, and on whom we are not to set our hope (Ps. 146:3-5). +Our neighbors, created in the image of God, for whom Christ died, will be in need of our love, service, and help, no matter what we think of their political opinions. +We will all have our vocations to faithfully fulfill as parents, children, spouses, and workers, serving as baptized priests in this world, advancing the kingdom of God. +The church will remain NOT a political party or affiliation. Rather, the church will still have the calling to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that Christ has commanded. +Jesus the Messiah will remain on the throne, beside his Father, as King of kings and Lord of lords. He is the King of America, King of Germany, King of Israel, King of Iceland, King of all nations and all peoples everywhere. No election, now or in the future, will change these truths. Be at peace, friends.

That moment when someone says, "I can't believe you would vote for Trump.” I simply reply, “I'm not voting for Trump.” I'm voting for the First Amendment and freedom of speech. I'm voting for the Second Amendment and my right to defend my life and my family. I'm voting for the next Supreme Court Justice(s) to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I’m voting for the continued growth of my retirement and reducing inflation. I’m voting for a return of our troops from foreign countries and the end to America’s involvement in foreign conflicts. I'm voting for the Electoral College and for the Republic in which we live. I'm voting for the Police to be respected once again and to ensure Law & Order. I am tired of all the criminals having a revolving door and being put back in the street. I’m voting for the continued appointment of Federal Judges who respect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I’m voting for keeping our jobs to remain in America and not be outsourced all over the world - to China, Mexico and other foreign countries. I want USA made. I’m voting for secure borders and have legal immigration. I can’t believe we have actually have flown 380,000 illegal immigrants into our country. I am voting for doing away with all of the freebies given to all of the illegals and not looking after the needs of the American citizens. I'm voting for the Military & the Veterans who fought for this Country to give the American people their freedoms. I'm voting for the unborn babies that have a right to live. I’m voting for peace progress in the Middle East. I’m voting to fight against human/child trafficking. I'm voting for Freedom of Religion. I'm voting for the right to speak my opinion and not be censored. I am voting for the return of teaching math, history, and science instead of indoctrination of our children and pronouns. I'm not just voting for one person, I'm voting for the future of my Country. I'm voting for my children and my grandchildren to ensure their freedoms and their future.

Dragons in the Bible Let’s talk about dragons. You can read all about them in fairy tales and legends, of course. But the Bible has something to say about them as well. The Hebrew word תַּנִּין (tannin [pronounced taw-neen]) is translated as “dragon” in the ESV four times (Isa. 27:1; 51:9; Ezek. 29:3; 32:2). In other contexts, it is rendered “great sea creature” (Gen. 1:21); “serpent” (Exod. 7:9-10), “monster” (Jer. 51:34); and “sea monster” (Job 7:12). So, which is it? Dragon, serpent, sea creature, or monster? The answer to that depends largely upon context: are we talking about a real animal or a mythical creature? Tannin can refer to both. Certainly in Genesis 1 and Exodus 7, a real animal is in view. In other contexts, prophets drew upon popular mythical accounts in the ancient Near East, where chaos and rebellion were associated with creatures such as tannin, Leviathan, and Rahab. See, for instance, Isaiah 27, one of the chapters we covered today in Bible in one Year (1517.org/oneyear ). This Hebrew background is vitally important when we get to the New Testament. A few times in the Septuagint (the Greek OT), tannin and Leviathan are translated with the Greek word δράκων (drakon). A δράκων is a serpent or sea monster. It’s also the word for dragon. This is the word that St. John uses often in Revelation when he calls Satan “the dragon” (12:3, 4, 7, 9, 13, 16, 17; 13:2, 4; 16:13; 20:2). By the time we get to Revelation, we have an entire Bible full of references to serpents, crocodiles, sea monsters, dragons, and mythical creatures, all of which help to form the image of the archfoe of humanity. And yet, as dangerous and menacing at the Satan Dragon sounds, “one little word can fell him,” as we sing in “A Mighty Fortress.” Christ, the Word of God, is triumphant over the dragon. And we are triumphant in him: covered in the righteousness of Jesus, wet with baptism’s un-evaporating water, and shielded by the blood of the Lamb.
