Our own Nebuchadnezzar

“The vision is for him who will see it” — Plotinus

According to John Bolton, in the Wall Street Journal, Trump seems to support Chinese President Xi’s idea of eliminating presidential term limits.

“Xi said he wanted to work with Trump for six more years, and Trump replied that people were saying that the two-term constitutional limit on presidents should be repealed for him,”

Bolton writes.

“Xi said the US had too many elections, because he didn’t want to switch away from Trump, who nodded approvingly.”

John Bolton — “The Room Where It Happened”

Nebuchadnezzar is William Blake’s color monotype print in ink and watercolor illustrating the fourth chapter of the Bible’s Book of Daniel.

The Old Testament Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II, had a strange dream and asked his advisor Daniel to interpret it. Daniel said the ruler would be punished, and the punishment would end after seven years when he would acknowledge the supreme power in heaven.

So it happened that Nebuchadnezzar “was driven away from people and ate grass like the ox. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.” (Daniel 4:33)
