Understanding Malchus*
The Talmud states that a person needs to make an effort to see a gentile king; when the day comes that he is privileged to see a Jewish king, he'll be able to recognize the difference.About two months ago I visited Graceland. The grandeur and majesty of the KING's residence immediately impressed me. (The green shag-carpeted ceiling in the Jungle Room is awe-inspiring). I was blown away by his estate, his jewels and clothes - everything. In particular, seeing the KING's outstanding achievements on display in the Trophy Room gave me a new appreciation for real greatness.
But the most powerful part of Graceland is the Racquet Ball building. (The KING personally oversaw its construction.) Video footage of the KING's legendary performance: Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii - live via satellite is shown constantly. (More people watched this program then the first lunar landing.) The KING pumped out fiery versions of Proud Mary and other classics; he sweat profusely, he cared, and he gave it all. It was a very emotional experience. The KING was a leader and a giant, but most of all he was a servant.
In my opinion, every American should visit Graceland. You will gain a new understanding of what a king truly is, an understanding we unfortunately lack.
*Malchus is usually translated as "kingship" - though to be honest, I am not exactly sure what "kingship" means either.
