There is a low point in the history of the Jewish people that I believe applies to where those of us who still believe in American Exceptionalism find ourselves today.

With the nation of Israel ruled by the treacherous King Saul, a deceitful politician primarily driven by personal ambition (not unlike most of our political leaders in this day and age), a champion named David who has been appointed by God to replace Saul fears for his life. Sensing the divine favor and calling David has on his life, and that David symbolizes a threat that is being raised up to replace Saul’s failed status quo, Saul seeks to kill David thus wiping out the movement he represents.
