Decay and Corruption

Trump's comments that were revealed this week bring into sharp focus the monumental amount of corruption in our whole society. His comments were despicable and he richly deserves all the condemnation that he is getting. But if we look solely at Trump's corruption we fall for the magician's sleight of hand that directs the audience's attention one way to divert it from what is happening with the other hand. 

Trump is not unique. Hillary is just as corrupt as Trump but her corruption manifests itself in a love of money and power. Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, is every bit the sexual predator that Trump is. And many, many of the other politicians, corporate executives, entertainers,athletes, etc. who form the "elite" of U.S. society are as corrupt. An honest and ethical public man or woman is a great rarity now and we are reaping the fruit of decay that has sunk into the marrow of our nation. 

So what does this mean for the November election? Probably nothing. But I will literally be praying that Trump for once in his life does the honorable thing and withdraws in favor of Mike Pence. I don't expect it; I don't foresee it, but I will pray for it. This is a God-level action with our nation's future at stake that would require a God-induced change of heart on Trump's part. I don't expect it of the Democrats as they are way too far gone and proud of it. We have become Rome and unless someone is willing to sacrifice and do what is right, whether it is Trump or Hillary in the White House, it will not matter - we will suffer Rome's fate at the hands of the ever-present barbarians.
