The elephant in the room

[GWH]

As well as many MAGA members of the GOP. The issue is as long as it is broad, no political movement in the USA today is exempt.

Don't you mean a few RINO members of the GOP in the Senate?

No, I mean MAGA GOP, those who invented the term "RINO". MAGA supporters actually do not fit with a historical view of the Republican Parfy while the "RINO's" fit fairly well. Historically, the GOP p[oliced its own, even when the one needing policing was the President of the USA, today the MAGA crowd seeks ways to justify presidential violations of the Constution.

Can you guys take this political argument to the News forums? This thread is about current events that can be associated with Bible verses.

 

[Lanolin]

yea
Or make a thread on Giraffes in the room.

I mean we know Elephants are endangered species but they have sort of come off the list thanks to stopping the ivory trade. But hardly anyone pays attention to the plight of giraffes.

And they are Gods creatures too, and were probably the very first wild animals that were on the Ark.

People always go on about 'what is happening in the middle east and North America' (its seems a lot) but what about what is going on in AFRICA??

Or Asia?

Or even South America?

Or don't those continents even count.

 

[Lanolin]

Wasn't the gospel supposed to go to the ends of the earth?

So it's meant for Antarctica too.

Glad you asked.
As we know through scripture the Lord appoints those in authority on down to fathers and husbands in families.
The Lord places a covering over the one he has appointed of protection, health, ect and builds a hedge around not only the one that prays but also it covers those he has authority over. Father over family, husband over wife, boss over workers, ect.
Now our president is the appointed authority over the U.S. and what he says and does effects us all.
Now the Lord explicitly says ...he will not share his glory with another. He created Israel, Israel is his first born son.
Israel is protected by God and in this case never to be uprooted again.
Mr. Trump said...if it wasn't for the U.S. Israel wouldn't exist....which in my view is a direct insult to the glory of God.

A good example of this is moses inter seeding for Israel as God sought to destroy them. Gods namesake in the balance.

Thanks for explaining your view - I appreciate it. Trump's statement was inane but I have to disagree with your conclusion when some past Presidents, who held the same authority, have been openly hostile towards Israel and acted upon that. Your conclusion seems a bit selective and inconsistent.

The question (asked by God-fearing) was, "Would anyone say that Isaiahs description fits our world today. Not just a people but the world today: Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"

My answer was, yes, the Marxist atheist Dems, who fit very well with the historic pro-slavery Dems.
Your answer was the Marxist/Dem lie; MAGA does NOT seek to justify violating the Constitution!

Giraffes AKA BFGs

So much more important than a bunch of other acronyms.

Giraffes!

 

[GWH]

Can you guys take this political argument to the News forums? This thread is about current events that can be associated with Bible verses.

I AM discussing current events associated with Scripture--most recently Isa. 5:20--
but I do not see that your post did so, so how about practicing what you complain about
instead of complaining about what you do not practice?

War?


Or



Peace?
Note the barbed wire dividing fence

Not sure if those trees are olive trees. Probably not but if they were, this elephant looks ready to make a peace offering to the giraffe

When the lion lays down with the lamb...and doesn't kill it

This looks photo-shopped or AI rendering. But it's also a JW.org verse that may be a wrong translation, so it's a bit suss





note the ellipsis...meaning they cut out some words. Which is a no-no. You are not meant to break scripture, which the JWs constantly do. Talk about butchering verses!

 

[Lanolin]

NB

predators with herbivores.

Maybe it's a ...metaphor? Spiritual kingdoms of the beasts. We know that zoos mostly have to keep them apart because in the wild or native habitat they have more space to roam and not tangle with each other.

Anyway, I guess the same goes with humans. How territorial are we? God set the orignial boundaries of Israel in the Promised Land. He didn't need to draw a line and cut it up to bits like what colonialists did with the African continent.

It was from Mediterranean sea to Red sea on one side and to the river Jordan. It was also visible from Mount Sinai. I mean you can look it up in Scripture I'm a bit tired right now.. having to mansplain everything.

Not to mention... To butcher the Word is to butcher Jesus Christ. John 1:1

Who wants to post a cute photo of a lamb?

 

[Lanolin]

Actually I think the elephant is just playing with the giraffe in the first photo.

It looks like they are fighting, but I don't think they are, otherwise they would lock horns. Or ossicones and tusks as it were.

 

[Lanolin]

The second photo looks like some kind of man-made barrier.

Maybe they are friends that are just kept apart by humans for their own reasons?

This is the old Elephant House in the Auckland Zoo.




Yes the Elephants really did have their own rooms. But recently the elephants have all moved to Australia, where they had more relatives and could find spouses.

Also, it seems Australia is doing a bit better economically than New Zealand, but not by much. Every nation on earth has been trying to recover from covid.

What I would really like to see in this thread (and, I believe is at least partially what the OP has in mind) is a discussion of the events in history - one at a time - going backwards in time (most recent first) - that anyone believes is an actual fulfillment of Bible prophecy or that they believe has a clear connection to a [specific] passage of scripture - including, of course, any-and-all passages of scripture associated with such events.

And, the first question would be - what is the last/latest event to be discussed? And, what scripture passage(s) are associated/connected to it?

Well then. Don't hold back. the floor is yours.

@GaryA always tries to direct the threads and not necessarily the ones he starts.

But what can you expect from a penguin? It's a slippery slope on ice.

 

[Lanolin]

I note he didn't even try to post in my penguin thread.
There's still time.
