America’s ‘elites’ are unworthy of their status

The Bible is filled with accounts of powerful people being brought low by those whom they deemed to be of lower status. In Paul’s first Letter to the Corinthians, he states that this is all part of God’s plan: “Consider your own calling, brothers and sisters. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. Rather, God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong, and God chose the lowly and despised of the world, those who count for nothing, to reduce to nothing those who are something, so that no human being might boast before God” (1 Corinthians 1:26-29).
