God's Anointed Leader Isn't Always What We Expect

Much has been spoken and written lately regarding the evangelical community's feelings toward President Trump, especially since the Christianity Today editorial calling for his removal from office was published last month. Many evangelicals continue to support him wholeheartedly because he has proven repeatedly that he can be trusted to keep his campaign promises and to govern faithfully and conservatively. Others vow never to support him because they feel that he "embodies the anti-Christian ethic."

President Trump certainly has a "colorful" past, and that is the key reason why I did not support him in the Republican presidential primary of 2016. I just couldn't imagine a man of his moral failings representing this nation and becoming the leader of the free world. However, when it ultimately came down to a choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton on November 8, it was a no-brainer. I would have crawled on my hands and knees to the polls, if necessary, to vote against her. That's exactly what my vote was at that time — a vote against Hillary Clinton.

It turns out, however, that millions of us who held our noses and voted for Trump have been quite pleasantly surprised by his ardent support of the values and policies that we hold dear. He has been the most pro-life president in the history of our nation, and he was the first president ever to attend the annual March for Life on Capitol Hill.

The Midrash states: "G-d had three 'finds'…one of them was David, as it says (in Psalms 89:21), 'I found David, my servant.'" (Bereishit Rabba 29:3) - "[And] where did I find him? In Sodom!" (Bereishit Rabba 50:10)

Malchut

Literally meaning "royalty", Malchut is the seventh sefira, the culmination and distillation of the previous six sefirot. It is the female principle, the archetypal recipient sefira, and the Zohar describes it as "having nothing of her own".

A Jewish king is the embodiment of the sefira of malchut and therefore very different than the autocratic king of the nations of the world.

In Sodom, that is to saying, in Lot:

בלוט

Which is fully consistent with:

mighty oaks from little acorns grow

because

A balut [בַּלּוּט] is an acorn (see Klein's)

(cf. words like bulb, bulla..)

Here's the lineage pun from Yiddish, the language of the Jews literally.

win - sod - secret:

The wine goes in [the barrel], the secret comes out [of the oak].

"Revealed in the galil". A galil is a cylinder, a barrel, drum... this page about barrels leads right to it (the galil) from the beginning of the article.

Oak is used in winemaking to vary the color, flavor, tannin profile and texture of wine. It can be introduced in the form of a barrel during the fermentation or aging periods, or as free-floating chips or staves added to wine fermented in a vessel like stainless steel. Oak barrels can impart other qualities to wine through evaporation and low level exposure to oxygen.[1]

A Jewish king is the embodiment of the sefira of malchut...

Malchut *is* the secret of sod (the internal word, black letters):

סמך וו דלת

Sorta like Samuel?

...and the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, "Do you come peacefully". And he said, "Shalom!"...

ויחרדו זקני העיר לקראתו ויאמר שלם בואך׃ ויאמר שלום

;)

Were you aware that the oak is America's national tree? It's actually a relatively new symbol law-wise, having been signed into law on Dec 8, 2004. PL 108-447. That's an easy law to remember because 108 + 447 = 555, the same as "I have found David" in the Psa 89:21 reference.

Dec 8, 2004: Kislev 25 for starters.

I thought it made sense to look under that oak because of Gen 35:8. It comes full circle with this FR article, because right under the oak (national tree) is:

Chapter 5: Presidential Inaugural Ceremonies

It skips right from 3 to 5 to 7. I don't know why that is with the odd numbers, but here are the contents neatly organized to roll through one entry at at a time.

Deu 34:6. And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab [357], opposite Beth-Peor [milui value = 1737]; but no man knows his grave till this day:

No mention of the women though. That could be an important detail, especially WRT to Moab, Moabites.

Kind of like "seek and ye shall find". For example:

In 1737, the royal advisor to the King decided that all the wines of Côte du Rhône should be identified by the letters CDR, branded on all the staves of every barrel. This is therefore the birth of the Côte du Rhône appellation.

The Origins of...

The name Roquemaure is believed to be derived from the Occitan ròca (rock) + maura (feminine adjective black). wiki

Kind of like "Blackstone."

"The Revolution Happens Here."

God Bless America, always doing something to save the world from itself because that's just how she rolls. Go figure.

"Kushner has likened the plan to the Marshall Plan to rebuild Western European economies after World War II."

Trump peace plan

You'd think folks wouldn't be blindsided, yet...

God's Anointed Leader Isn't Always What We Expect

Don't skip a detail about that Roquemaure wine in the location the the black rock, because mighy oaks from little acorns grow.

It's the simple meaning. :)
