As a Christian, the question of how should I behave towards those in authority is important 509 - 7 - 3

Proverbs 29:2, “When the righteous (H6662) are in authority, the people rejoice (H8055): but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn (H584).”

Righteous, H6662, From H6663; just, lawful, righteous (man). H6663, to be right cleanse, clear self, just, turn to righteousness.

Rejoice, H8055, probably to brighten up, that is, be made gleesome, glad, joy, merry

Mourn, H584, to sigh: groan

IMO, the Obama administration was a long eight years for most conservatives and especially for BACs to witness the denigration of morals in an age where many conformed to Isaiah 5:20, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness (H2822) for light (H216), and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Darkness, H2822, From H2821; the dark; hence (literally) darkness; figuratively misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness: night, obscurity. H2821, A primitive root; to be dark (as withholding light); transitively to darken: - be black, be (make) dark, darken, cause darkness, be dim, hide.

Light, H216, From H215; illumination, happiness, bright, clear. H215, A primitive root; to make luminous (literally and metaphorically): break of day, glorious, kindle, set on fire, shine.

As for me, it does seem like emerging from a long dark tunnel into the light. Much as I disliked most of what Obama stood for I always honored the office of the Presidency of the United States. When Obama was in office I didn’t riot, post fake news and other activities that seem to be materializing in the form of an Obama/ Soros shadow government. Prayers are very much needed for the protection of President Trump, his family and administration.

Regardless of who is/ are in authority, Paul tells us to pray for them. 1 Timothy 2:1-4. “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” Obama really needs our prayers! 

As an aside, my all-time favorite movie is Fiddler on the Roof. A classic line concerning those in authority is:

Leibesh: Rabbi! May I ask you a question?

Rabbi: Certainly, Lebisch!

Leibesh: Is there a proper blessing... for the Tsar?

Rabbi: A blessing for the Tsar? Of course! May God bless and keep the Tsar... far away from us!

As the Jews were being expelled from their town in Russia there was some discussion:

Lazar Wolf: We can fight to keep our home.

Constable: Against our militia, our army? I wouldn't advise that!

Tevye: I have some advice for you. Get off my land. This is still my home, my land. Get off my land.

The end of the movie is sad as villagers are departing their homes. However, there still is optimism as the matchmaker says “Next year in Jerusalem” and others discuss their destinations, several in America.
