The Writing on the Wall

There are many reasons why the Packers lost their playoff game against the 49ers this past Saturday. Most would attribute the loss to special team's failures - a blocked punt and a blocked field goal. But there is another reason. One that dates back years. And the number of his name is 12.

When the Packers won their first Super Bowl Aaron Rodgers was one among many who gave the glory to God for the victory, and not to themselves.

Times have changed, and people have changed - like Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers no longer acknowledges God as his personal Lord and Savior. Big mistake.

I was reading a passage from Daniel the other day when I found myself thinking about Aaron Rodgers and anyone else who ignores the majesty of Almighty God - Daniel 5 - The Writing on The Wall.

King Belshazzar threw a party for 1,000 people. Drinking, concubines, you get the picture. They began to worship their gods of gold and silver. That's when a severed hand appeared and began writing on the wall. That frightened the king and everyone else in the room!

No one could read the writing on the wall, so they called for Daniel. Daniel first told a story about the king's father. Verse 20.

"But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory." - Daniel 5:20

Doesn't that sound like Aaron Rodgers and his failing yet again to win, much less even GET to, the Super Bowl? Here is Daniel's interpretation of the writing that was on the wall.

“This is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN

26 “Here is what these words mean:

MENE: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.

27 TEKEL: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.

28 PARSIN: Your kingdom is divided and given to others (the Medes and Persians).” - Daniel l5:25-28

The days of Rodgers tenure with the Green Bay Packers is about to come to an end. Rodgers has definitely been found lacking when it comes to playoff wins. He and the Green Bay Packers will become divided (if the Packers are smart) and the Packers can get back to building a quality team, not around one or two players, but around God.

After interpreting the king's dream, Daniel was given a purple robe and a gold chain. Hmm. Purple and gold. Perhaps Rodgers will get traded to the Vikings. A place where old quarterbacks go to die.

The Truth Hurts

Looking at this picture of Aaron Rodgers, what do you suppose I am going to write about today? Well, you're wrong. Lol!

This is the face of someone who has turned their back on God. And it shows.

When the Packers won their first Superbowl with Aaron Rodgers as quarterback, Rodgers gave credit to God for the win. Since that time Rodgers has changed his mind about God.

A person's or team's or nation's prosperity can have an adverse effect on someone's faith. "Why do I need God? Look at all of the cool things I have accumulated on my own."

Statement's like that are usually followed by someone's slow spiral downward. Rodgers publicly announcing that he was never a Christian makes us wonder why. At the end of this story is a link. Listen to it and you will find out the truth about Aaron Rodgers, in his own words.

Aaron Rodgers was NEVER a Christian. We went to church but he never truly believed. He used many "Christian" words but never understood the true meaning of the Gospel. I wonder how many other people have similar beliefs. How many do not actually take the time to understand the God they are worshipping, or are PRETENDING to worship.

We must pray for Aaron Rodgers. He clearly needs our prayers. The truth often hurts when we are confronted by it. Jesus is that truth and there will be a lot of pain for those who don't believe in Him.

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” - John 14:6-7
