In our own British history, we know of various warriors chosen of the Lord. Winston Churchill was a very prominent individual, who was mightily used to help us win the Second World War and there is no doubt that the Hand of God was upon him. And we need to realise that the people used by the Lord are not necessarily people who are faultless – and indeed sometimes God makes use of these faults. So, we should not judge people such as Donald Trump
Whilst Esther may not have been called by the King, she had certainly been chosen (by God), And to this we should remember Our Lord’s parable concerning the Wedding Garment (Matthew 22:11-14);
We are currently in the midst of a contrived and chaotic situation. The corona virus has been used very effectively to take away many of the freedoms we have up to now enjoyed, and I believe it will be strung out for as long as it takes – to destroy our way of life completely (and we have been rendered helpless).

Both Her Majesty, and prime minister are seeking to be all things to all people – but do they realize you cannot compromise your beliefs and your culture – without either watering them down or destroying them altogether.
