Gus Zuehlke and Peter Helland discuss the rift in the country that may have the ability to lead to a civil war which will dramatically effect the world. Gus argues that Pope Francis is a very important leader for world peace. But there seems to be a still present enemy to peace. Thomas Paine quotes Satan from Milton's Paradise Lost in his book Common Sense. Paraphrasing: "When hatred gets this deep then reconciliation becomes impossible." How deep is the hatred in America and can the Union hold? Even if the Union fails Jesus Christ and His Cross is the answer. Blessed are the peacemakers for they are the Sons of God. As the country started out cursing King George it may go down cursing Donald Trump or some other future leader. Most Christian commentators through the ages agree with English Baptist pastor John Gill (1697-1771) here on Exodus 22:28:
"nor curse the ruler of thy people
whether civil or ecclesiastic; the last mentioned Jewish writer intend of the king, who is the supreme ruler in things civil, and ought to be honoured and loved, served and obeyed, and not hated and cursed, no, not secretly, not in the bedchamber, nor in the thought of the heart, since not only the thing is criminal but dangerous; it is much if it is not discovered, and then ruin follows upon it, ( Ecclesiastes 10:20 ) . The Apostle Paul applies it to the high priest among the Jews, who was the ruler in sacred things, ( Acts 23:5 ) and may be applicable to the prince of the sanhedrim, or chief in the grand court of judicature; and even to all dignified persons, who ought not to be spoken ill of, and to be abused in the execution of their office, and especially when they perform well."
