Politics & Religion

Politics and religion is as old as the two have been around.  They are actors in a never-ending drama that plays around the world including China, India, the Mideast and the Vatican.  A scene also played out in Washington, D.C.  US News  published an article dated June 2, 2020, entitled Archbishop of Washington: Trump's Visit to Shrine 'Baffling and Reprehensible' [1].

Below is Psalm 109 [2]:

The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou at my right hand:

Until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool.

The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule Thou in the midst of Thine enemies.

With Thee is the principality in the day of Thy strength, in the brightness of the saints: from the womb before the day star I begot Thee.

The Lord hath sworn, and He will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.

The Lord at Thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of His wrath. [Emphasis  added.]

He shall judge among nations, He shall fill ruins: He shall crush the heads in the land of many. [Emphasis  added.]

He shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall He lift up the head.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.
