 MLK On America As World's Policeman I never tire of watching re-runs of Martin Luther King speeches. As an orator, there's no one who can hold a candle to him before or since. But the power is not just in the delivery, it's the depth of the message that ultimately bowls you over. Wife and I caught the following during an MLK special on public television this evening: "Don't let anybody make you think God chose America as his divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world. God has a way of standing before the nations with justice and it seems I can hear God saying to America 'you are too arrogant, and if you don't change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of your power, and I will place it in the hands of a nation that doesn't even know my name. Be still and know that I'm God.'" Link. Dr. King made this statement in reference to the Vietnam War in 1967; however, it seems Dr. King also foresaw the presidency of George W. Bush. Awesome insight. 01/15/2007. Add Comment Permalink
