7“The Levites are to station themselves around the king, each man with his weapons in his hand. Anyone who enters the temple must be put to death. Stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
PSD. Personal Security Detail. We know a lot about these. We see them in the news anytime someone of important walks through a crowd. This passage talks about all the security plans that are developed for the revealing of the King’s son. He has been hidden for seven years from his enemies. All his other relatives have been killed in an effort to steal his power. Now is the time he is going to be anointed king. Sometimes evil people plot evil things. In our day, we don’t need a reminder of this. We are at war with an evil that manifests itself though Islam. Not everything we have done in the execution of this conflict has been righteous, but evil can’t accomplish anything that is righteous. Nothing Islam does is righteous. Its root is evil, so all its fruit is evil. I know that this is not a politically correct statement, but it is true none the less. It is a shame that we have to think about personal safety so much these days. We get groped when we travel by plane. We have to have a passport to go across the border to Canada or Mexico. We can’t take a cruise without one. All this security and all because a few people were successful at living consistently with their belief system!
