The billboard apparently wasn’t up for long, but it was up long enough last week to make more than a few people boiling mad.
Perhaps it made a few people happy, but we would submit they may be confused about their allegiances.
The billboard, just outside of Chattanooga in Fort Oglethorpe, near Cloud Spring Road on Highway 27 going north, featured an image of former President Donald Trump, an American flag and the words “Unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulders.” Below that image were the words “Joint Heirs” and the Bible reference of Romans 8:17.
Let us do a little unpacking.
First, the words “Unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulders” are from Isaiah 9:6. Christians and biblical scholars believe the words prophesy the coming of Jesus Christ.
