My first impression was “get on your knees and beg”...the other image didn’t cross my mind until a bit later. If the Lewinsky thing had never happened I guess I wouldn’t have considered Trump’s statement as a sexual thing at all. It’s another version of “kiss the ring” or “touch the scepter if the king grants you audience”

But before everyone starts “tsk tsking” Trump, even the Bible in places is very stark in using sexual imagery in some of it’s prophecies concerning Israel. The use of sexual imagery as a vehicle for truth can really “lay bare” issues that need to be “exposed” in a way all the fancy “spin” can never “cover up”!

Consider this proffering from Jeremiah 13:25-26:”This is your lot, the portion measured to you From Me,” declares the LORD, “Because you have forgotten Me And trusted in falsehood. 26”So I Myself have also stripped your skirts off over your face, That your shame may be seen. 27”As for your adulteries and your lustful neighings, The lewdness of your prostitution On the hills in the field, I have seen your abominations. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! How long will you remain unclean?”

Ironically our nations’ own sins seem to be under exposure, our own skirts are are being stripped off over our faces!

Consider Nahum 3:5”I am against you,” declares the LORD Almighty. “I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your nakedness and the kingdoms your shame.

Trump’s statement in response to Romney was lightweight compared to what the Bible can throw down against entire wayward societies using sexual imagery!

I’m not a Trump man, and perhaps he is a total con but he speaks to uncomfortable truths that politicians would rather not have exposed! I have to wonder if God has not found a court Jester in Trump, who dances and jokes,who charms and insinuates sarcastically and shakes his rattle at those hidden entrenched elites(of both parties) who have forgotten, that in the end, their carefully laid plans to collapse our nation still count on the naivete’ of the common American to go along with his or her own enslavement!
