Paula, Time...Rule of the Commoners or rule of God?<br /><br />Paula, Times of Israel, 23.1.13:<br />"The democracy of Israel enables us to change our leaders without changing the most important realities of our lives.<br />Yesterday, we celebrated our democracy – today, we come back to reality. Our sons still sit on our borders, fly our skies, patrol our waters. We are still surrounded by enemies that still want to destroy us. We are still isolated from much of the world, despised and hated – not for what we do or who we elect, but for an ancient promise that we will cling to forever."<br /><br />"an ancient promise"<br />... I think of Joshua 24, 24 :)<br />"And the people said unto Y'howshu`a, YY our Elohim will we serve, and his voice will we obey."<br /><br />"The democracy of Israel"<br />... when I hear "democracy", I always think of the Greeks and Troy :(<br /><br />(Democracy "rule of the commoners", was originally conceived in Classical Greece.<br />Wikipedia: Metaphorically a "Trojan Horse" has come to mean any trick or stratagem that causes a target to invite a foe into a securely protected bastion or place.)Wolfgangnoreply@blogger.com
