Many times the church turns to the Bible to find biblical characters who embody ideal leadership. Many times the church find the wrong models. Like Joseph, David, and Solomon.
Genesis 47 tells us of how Governor Joseph oppressed the Egyptians. He introduced a famine relief system that required that all the people give up all their money, their livestock, their land, and their freedom so that they do not starve to death.
2 Samuel 11 details how King David raped Bathsheba and had Uriah, her husband, killed in battle so that he, David, can possess her.
1 Kings 9 and 2 Chronicles 8 tell us how King Solomon enslaved both the Canaanites and his own fellow Israelites. He replaced the tribal confederacy with 12 economic zones and introduced forced labor to undertake his infrastructure projects for the Lord.
Friends, these are explicit in the biblical text.
Tragically, we have been so enamored with Joseph the Dreamer, David the Slayer of Goliath, and Solomon the Wise that we do not see the stark truth before our very eyes. People suffered and died under their leadership.
The same applies to Donald Trump. Millions are so enamored, actually blinded by the trifecta of myth, mysticism, and MAGA that they cannot see the truth of his dictatorial, fascist, and violent regime. People have suffered and died under this administration. People will continue to suffer and die.
Lest we forget, Joseph, David, Solomon, Trump, Netanyahu, and, yes, Marcos and Duterte all believe in God. They all believe that God is on their side. But even Satan and his minions believe in God. King Herod who executed John the Baptist believed in God. Even the Chief Priest, Joseph Caiaphas--who collaborated with Pilate to have Jesus executed--believed in God.
I'm pretty sure that ICE Agent Jonathan Ross, who murdered Renee Nicole Good, believes in God as well. Adolf Hitler certainly did.
Belief in God does not excuse these men from the evil they have done. And in the case of the aforementioned heads, and former head of state, the evil that they continue to do.
The untold suffering and senseless deaths of people will go from bad to worse because terrorists occupy the White House, Malacanang Palace, and many halls and corridors of power.
My friends, they need to be stopped. And the sooner the better.
