This is ridiculous downer article starting with “Mr Trump is just one man”. Well thanks captain obvious! Well a single individual can move mountains with leadership and vision. I honestly dont think we could find a better man for the job.

Yes indeed. That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

G-d said "Open for Me like the eye of a needle, and I will open for you like the gates of the Temple" [Shir HaShirim Rabbah 5:3]. Thus, no matter how low a person is, if he makes even a single motion to serve G-d, it is something very great on high, and it can bring him back completely. [Likutey Halakhoth, Tefillin 5:43]  The main thing is to make the first move. If one begins even a little bit, one can go very high.

Matthew 19

21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Starting with dumb puns:

trump: To get the better of (an adversary or competitor, for example) by using a crucial, often hidden resource.

Mr. Trump sure has a lot of "better" things he could be doing, but for some reason he has... refocused.

Open for Me like the eye of a needle, and I will open for you like the gates of the Temple
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Everyone knows about the camel and his nose.. one's he's allowed to make that initial move, he's as good as inside the tent.

The simple meaning, grabbed right from a quick image search:

Jesus did not say,

If thou wilt be perfect, go pass an ideological litmus test.

He said,

If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor.

What is Trump doing? Selling what he has: a sincere idea, one without guile or subterfuge:

Make America Great Again

Open for Me like the eye of a needle, and I will open for you like the gates of the Temple

>>>a single individual can move mountains with leadership and vision<<<

This generation is participating in and watching living parables in real time acted out on the world stage.

Matthew 13

10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

The sower sows seeds, not mature plants.

Don’t know what you are rambling about EZ.. no offense... but all the posted stated was that without moral absolutes a nation will die and implode... do you believe that? If you do... we on the same page.. That’s what Jeremiah and.. Ezekiel went through.. it might be a good time for you to read those books in the Bible for that is our day

To: Ezekiel

51 “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness
and who seek the Lord:
Look to the rock from which you were cut
and to the quarry from which you were hewn;
2
look to Abraham, your father,
and to Sarah, who gave you birth.
When I called him he was only one man,
and I blessed him and made him many.
3
The Lord will surely comfort Zion
and will look with compassion on all her ruins;
he will make her deserts like Eden,
her wastelands like the garden of the Lord.
Joy and gladness will be found in her,
thanksgiving and the sound of singing.

Isaiah 51
