Parallels of Politics.

Mark 6:14 ¶ And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
15 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
16 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.
18 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;
22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.

The death of one of the greatest preachers in history. This passage is very interesting because of some simple parallels between the story and what is happening in America right now. First, let's take a look at "king" Herod. A quick observation of history will let you know that Ceasar was the king of the Roman empire at this time, so Herod's title was really just a formality, and in reality Herod was just a puppet of the government. Second, look at the girl. She was obviously the neice of Herod, but was being subjected to a demoralizing exhibition of herself, in front of her uncle and many wicked men. Her purity was being put on display for all to see, and we are told that the men watching were pleased with the show. Thirdly, look at the men who were with Herod. These are wicked men who have no moral character, and who revel in thoughts and imaginations of impurity and sin. Finally, take a look at the preacher. A man who was doing what was right, and was put into prison and finally killed because of his stand.

Most of us know the story, but now to the parallel. America can be put into the place of the girl. The purity of this nation is on display for all of the wicked men (political leaders both of our country and of the world) to see. As a whole the nation shamelessly displays itself, hoping for the adoration of the masses, and desiring the pleasure that comes from applause. Herod (Mr. President) enjoys and encourages the show, and for a pretense offers the girl (Americans) as much as they want of things he does not own. He has no kindom, nor does he have any money, yet he open-handedly "gives" billions of dollars away for every little project imaginable. Then comes the disaster, America's mother (sin) decides that it would be easier to live without a godly influence. So rather than get the prosperity of money, she teaches her daughter to hate the man of God. Hate those "old fogies" who preach about doing right. The man of God is destroyed. Sin abounds, and sooner-or-later the parties involved open their eyes in Hell wondering what could have happened. Wake up America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This could be you!!!!!!!!!
