The Cult Of Personality: "Unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulders."

“WHO THE PERSON OR ORGANIZATION RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SIGN INTERPRETED AS JOINT HEIRS AND FROM WHOM — TRUMP? — IS NOT CLEAR.”

“The billboard, just outside of Chattanooga in Fort Oglethorpe, near Cloud Spring Road on Highway 27 going north, featured an image of former President Donald Trump, an American flag and the words "Unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulders." Below that image were the words "Joint Heirs" and the Bible reference of Romans 8:17.”

"The intimation that Trump, no matter what one thought of him or his administration, is akin to a messiah, the one prophesied in Isaiah or otherwise, is arrogant at best and blasphemous at worst."

Next, Romans 8:17, which reads: "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."

Biblical experts say the verse indicates that God, in his infinite love, has made his children full heirs to his kingdom, or, as the billboard said, "joint heirs."

Excerpts from ‘IRONY’:

In his sometime perverse ambition to lead other men, mankind understands our captive preoccupation with God and will often inject a spirit of divine destiny in his ideological exhortations. We often find that men who aspire to be elevated as leaders, too often, evoke a certain cult around their persona which we may call “the cult of personality”. ?According to Wikipedia: A?cult of personality?arises when an individual uses?mass media,?propaganda, or other methods, to create an idealized, heroic, and at times, worshipful image, often through unquestioning?flattery?and?praise.

Our news media, quite often, would not and will not acknowledge that this “cult of personality” is practiced in present day democracies. You, as the reader, must draw your own conclusions about this.

Learning about the personal details of leaders who exert power, or at least the illusions thereof, can tend to provide certain levels of fascination to the people who follow them. This may prove that the gap between reality and the unknown can oftentimes be vast.

Good laws – evenly applied - can be the equalizer, for each of us, in our relation with the people chosen to lead; these laws offer one and all, equal protections from unjust decisions. The law protects all members of our society and it makes for a fairer democracy. To this end, it is important to remain fixated upon these very important documents: The Magna Carta (Britain), The Rights of Man (France), and The Declaration of Independence and The Bill Of Rights (United States of America).

After 800 years, why- you may ask-does the granting of Magna Carta still remains a milestone of human history? Why does this feudal charter issued by this medieval king (John of England, 1215) still have such relevance to us today?

Magna Carta is an English charter originally issued in 1215 which influenced the development of the?common law?and many later constitutional documents, such as the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Magna Carta was originally written because of disagreements amongst Pope Innocent III, King John of England, and the English barons about the rights of the King. Magna Carta required the King to renounce certain rights, respect certain legal procedures and accept that his will could be bound by the law. It explicitly protected certain rights of the King's subjects, whether free or fettered — most notably the writ of habeas corpus, allowing appeal against unlawful imprisonment.

For modern times, the most enduring legacy of Magna Carta is considered the right of habeas corpus. This right arises from what are now known as clauses 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40 of the 1215 Magna Carta:..
