3 mismanaged STATES

 Proverbs 29:2

King James Version

2 When the righteous are in authority, 

the people rejoice: 

but when the wicked beareth rule, 

the people mourn.


Thanks to veteran journalist of 50 years, Bill O'Reilly, I got an idea for this article.

He said, California, New York, and Illinois were the "most mismanaged in the union".

Of course, SPIRIT got my funny brain going.

We came up with "fun" names for these states.

Which seemed to describe them pretty much.

And a teeny-weeny look at their "politics".

Here goes:


KALI-fornia

That reminds us of the blue, Hindu goddess, "Kali", with the scary angry face, lots of arms, and clutching a severed head.

She's associated with "time, death and destruction".

As born again, I know of only one character who represents that -- CHRIST's enemy.

You've also heard about the wildfires from 7 January this year. 

Where we discovered how shockingly mismanaged CA is.

No wonder it's on top of O'Reilly's list.

I can imagine Trump turning "red", as he wants to choke CA's failed Democratic government, until they turn "blue".

Except, they're already blue.


New YUCK

If this is second in O'Reilly's "mismanaged" list, they deserve a look:

"As of April 2016, the Democrats represented a plurality of voters in the State of New York, constituting more than twice as many registered voters as any other political party affiliation or lack thereof.[291] No Republican presidential candidate has won over New York State since Ronald Reagan's landslide victory in 1984."

-- "New York politics"


Didn't Trump like NY once?

"From 1983 until 2019, Trump's primary residence was the three-level penthouse on the top floors of Trump Tower; in 2019, he declared Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, to be his primary residence."

-- "Residences of Donald Trump"


Oh, he sought the "warmer" climate.

And waters.

'Nuf said.


ILL-annoy

Third in O'Reilly's list, let's have a look:

"In modern national and state politics, Illinois is a Democratic stronghold.[206] Historically, Illinois was a political swing state, with near-parity existing between the Republican and the Democratic parties. However, in recent elections, the Democratic Party has gained ground, and Illinois has come to be seen as a solid "blue" state in both presidential and congressional campaigns.

-- "Party balance"


"Several families from Illinois have played particularly prominent roles in politics, in both the Republican Party earlier in the state's history but more recently the Democratic Party, gaining both statewide and national fame."

-- "Political families"


That figures.

All three states are Dems.

If you say, "His lips turned blue", that means lack of oxygen.

If you say "red-blooded", the person is full of life, and vigor.

CA, NY, and ILL are "blue".

They'll be needing Trump's "resuscitating" qualities.

Even better than that, they could use the BLOOD of the LAMB, from the LORD JESUS.


Of course, they'll resist with everything they've got.

But that can be healthy.

The angrier they get, the "redder" they'll become.

And that's a good sign.

That will make the oxygen flow.

SECRET in NAMES

 Proverbs 10:7

King James Version

7 The memory of the just is blessed: 

but the name of the wicked shall rot.


WORDS are my TOYS.

I have a grand time playing around with key words.

Including sounds, and combinations.

Today, SPIRIT led me to American politicians' names.

With the idea being, do the names reveal who they are?

Do the names reveal what they are?

Do the names reveal their public image?

We'll present these, with matching verses.


We have five, distinct names.

Five Democrats; one Republican.

Outnumbered, but not out-SCRIPTURED.

Not hard to guess who these are once we get going.

We merely create stuff from how the names sound.

How the person has projected himself in public.

And how they continue to be.

So, let's begin:


BYE-den

He promised Trump a smooth transition, but he does the opposite. Isn't that betrayal? Well, Scripture will remind him how to be, as he bids farewell to the presidency.

2 Corinthians 13:11

King James Version

11 Finally, brethren, farewell. 

Be perfect, 

be of good comfort, 

be of one mind, 

live in peace; 

and the God of love and peace 

shall be with you.


OBAMA-nation

He's proud, and has been said to be behind Biden's administration. That's why they call them, "Obiden". He's been known to mock GOD, at his own peril.

Proverbs 16:5

King James Version

5 Every one that is proud in heart 

is an abomination to the Lord: 

though hand join in hand, 

he shall not be unpunished.


Ka-MALA

In Spanish, "mala" means "bad", or "bad luck". The first time we heard her laugh, it alerted our spirit right away, Definitely something sinister there.

Proverbs 6:16-19

King James Version

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: 

yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, 

a lying tongue, 

and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, 

feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, 

and he that soweth discord among brethren.


HEEL-ary

She's been painted as a very ambitious woman. And yet the presidency remains elusive. Such is her fate, and she must just stop being controlling.

Genesis 3:15

King James Version

15 And I will put enmity 

between thee and the woman, 

and between thy seed and her seed; 

it shall bruise thy head, 

and thou shalt bruise his heel.


New-SANS

Governor Newsom has failed California. This proud Democrat would rather fight Trump on all fronts, than focus on water management. And then the fire happened.

Jeremiah 23:33

Contemporary English Version

News and Nuisance

The Lord said to me:

33 Jeremiah, 

when a prophet or a priest or anyone else 

comes to you and asks, 

“Does the Lord have news for us?” 

tell them, “You people 

are a nuisance[a] to the Lord, 

and he[b] will get rid of you.”


TRUMP

What can I say? The Bible is full of resounding "trump". GOD made him win. He has the heart, and stomach for the "fight". He's got a Trump Bible, too.

1 Corinthians 15:52

King James Version

52 In a moment, 

in the twinkling of an eye, 

at the last trump: 

for the trumpet shall sound, 

and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, 

and we shall be changed.


I invite you to "play" with your own names.

See what key words come out.

Does it reveal your character?

See what the Bible says, too.

Have fun, and yes, take it personally!

For there's always truth in key words.
