What is it with Tories called Dominic getting themselves into a bit of bother?
First Dominic Cummings took his road trip(s). Now Dominic Raab has said he wouldn't take a knee as he considers it to be “a symbol of subjugation and subordination”, and that he believes it comes from the TV programme Game of Thrones!
Wrong twice Dominic!
For those, like the Foreign Secretary, who don't know the origins of taking a knee, it is a play from the NFL known as a Quarterback Kneel or the VICTORY FORMATION.
It is primarily used to run the clock down to zero the end of the game, when the Quarterback, after receiving the snap, immediately kneels to the ground, making the play dead but running vital seconds off the clock.
When the then San Francisco 49ers Quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, first took a knee during a pre-game National Anthem in 2016, he wasn't just protesting against racism and police brutality, he was actually declaring victory - good wins in the end.
A little over 2000 years ago, on a cross at Calvary, Christ declared "It is finished" and bowed his head (took a knee). In that moment the curse of sin and death was broken, victory was assured... but the game still had time on the clock.
At that moment it seemed that the game was lost. It didnt even look like Good was trailing Evil 28-3 at the half.
Evil may have home field advantage, a powerful offensive line, and it cheats more than the Patriots (allegedly!) but in the 2000 years since the first Good Friday the devil, knowing the game was up and he can't win, has played dirtier than ever before.
-ISMS, of which racism is his favourite play call - used to try to divide our one human race - have allowed him to time and again 'move the chains.' but in truth the chains are gone, this is a game which Evil doesn't win in the end.
Christ has already conquered death.
The comeback is complete, total, and even more resounding than a 34–28 overtime win!
Right now we are playing out time until the clock hits zero.
Evil has lost.
Good is victorious.
Join the winning team.
Take a knee before Christ.
