In the bible, Daniel 3:1-18, there is a tale of a ruler who was cruel and oppressive, considering himself to be above everything and everyone, just like our current president.
God dealt harshly with this ruler, who went mad and was cast from his kingdom, forced to graze in the grass like an animal. Before Nebuchadnezzar could be restored, he had to humble himself and acknowledge God's sovereignty.Nebuchadnezzar was counseled to:
TURN FROM EVIL: Daniel urges King Nebuchadnezzar to "break off your sins" by stopping his cruel and oppressive ways.
PRACTICE RIGHTHEOUSNESS He is called to actively "practice righteousness," which means to act justly and do what is right, particularly in dealing with others.
SHOW MERCY TO THE OPPRESSED: Show mercy to the oppressed: show kindness and mercy to the poor and downtrodden; which demonstrates compassion.
SEEK GOD'S FAVOR: By changing his actions, the scripture says Nebuchadnezzar may delay God's judgment leading to a "lengthening of your prosperity".
A CALL TO REPENTANCE: The advice is a direct plea for repentance, urging the king to change his heart and behavior to align with God's will.
Trump has queried whether he could enter heaven. Well, this is his roadmap, if he would only choose to follow it.
