Trumps Hair Dance In UAE

TCC

TCC

Well-known
The following has made its rounds on social media. For any who have other details to contrast or confirm, please feel welcome to do so.

To everyone confused by the “hair swinging” ritual in Trump’s UAE visit:That wasn’t random. That wasn’t a TikTok dance.That was ancient. Intentional. Royal.Here’s what it really meant:The ritual is known in Gulf Arab culture especially in the UAE as part of a ceremonial welcome reserved for kings, heads of state, and those given the highest honor.The synchronized hair swaying by women is not a performance.It’s a gesture of grace, pride, and spiritual blessing.It symbolizes:•Honor•Purity of intent•And in some interpretations: submission to a higher cause or protectorIt’s rare. It’s sacred.You don’t get this unless you’re being received as a liberator or covenant figure.Donald Trump didn’t walk into a normal greeting.He was flanked by military, tribal elders, and ceremonial dancers.This was a king’s welcome.It sent a message to the world and especially to those watching in silence:“He’s not just back. This was a global power shift, wrapped in ancient tradition.

Why have you never seen this dance before? Apparently it is extremely rare. So, yeah like i was saying, if anyone has other details please feel free to share them. This is unique for sure. Including ones that would see this as a horror movie.

My sense on it in general (as no surprise to me) is what likely is about to go down will be biblical. Meaning like you know Moses and the 10 Commandments sense of biblical. Like "off the charts." Like mammoth acts of God. The world does not know how to relay that through traditions that do not understand the triune God. This of course is just my opinion. Based on my own peanut gallery research. And i tend to see world events under a very powerful fluxation of God's sovereign allowance. As some know here, I see the age of grace as extremely separate from the tribulation age. And what happens here with us in our age is its own story. I believe this is biblical. But i understand most in evangelicalism would not relate to this sense. Amen. So just saying, wow, if this implies something huge and massive coming, its not like it was hidden. Just saying.

But on a lighter note, pretty cool custom. A friend of mine asked me a few years back: "If you had all the money you could every need, what would you do?" I told him that i would travel the world to understand the culture of others and write about it. Not to be suckered by bad global belief systems. But to appreciate the beauty of God's great grace in His creation. The intimate differences resulting from the God given dispersion at the tower of babel. And how this has played out in the story of His creation. I understand Christ is the only Son of God. And the only way to the Father. And the Gospel is the only truth. But people have always really fascinated me. And it would be gravy for me to study and interact with the cultures of others. Not to worship at their temples. But to uniquely see their having been created in His image. And what that looks like 1000 miles away. Or 10 thousand miles away.

My friend was amazed that i would not say travel the world as a missionary. The irony is, I would see a genuine care and love toward where others are at in that place/space (their story) to be that which can't but not prime for the gospel. Just sharing a slice of perspective, in the event the above seems a bit shocking in perspective. I hope it resonates on some level considering our great God over all creation. Blessings.
 
Ok so to be fair, i'll start. Please see the attached article that covers the same dance. It gives a few other perspectives. For example:

The presentation is known as the Al-Ayyala, a traditional performance often seen at weddings and festive occasions in Oman and the UAE, according to the New York Post, which noted that unlike other Middle East countries, there are no laws in the UAE forcing women to cover their hair.

My guess is that in the original post quote is Qanon...lol. But I do find it interesting that we have never seen this dance before. There is footage from 2020 at the National Day Expo of this dance.

There is also footage at a wedding. The interesting thing here though is that 10 years a go it was said this is depicted as women honoring patriarchal rule. Demonstrating unabashed trust in their leadership. Now that makes sense.

So it does seem to imply a kings welcome. For National Holidays and Weddings. That would make it somewhat rare, certainly unique. And we even saw it to be about women trusting protectors. As noted from the original quote:

* in some interpretations: submission to a higher cause or protector (as a symbolic gesture of trusting the patriarchy)

Aside from my personal 1st seal views, I don't see it necessarily actually in and of itself affirming a global power shift. At least from the tradition. Where i would suggest a power shift implied though is in the following:

  • An intimate wedding dance not known to the world -- now known
  • A gesture from the Arab world transcending its Islamic neighboring restrictions upon women
  • An intimate cultural dance given to an outsider
  • A gesture of Arab world trust in Western leadership

So although it really does not change a level of awe and excitement in me in regards to symbolic essence likely of things to come, I have to check myself all day long because i'm the only person i know with my radical views. And in as much as i would hope that those who engage in somewhat deep analysis of the Luciferian Light perspective, I would hope this to be a friendly gesture of encouragement to offer other view points genuinely received that might strongly counter more closely held to the vest potentially dogmatic leanings in what is understood in their views.

However, having said that, I am going to say something over the top here...lol. So if not into that, please stop reading here. But an overall takeaway (cuz i can't really spend any more time on this) is the following: Bullet number 2 strikes me as most salient. For the following reasons:

1) The Islamic world is known for its limited expression from women / yet here we have a "revealing" of a most intimate contrast

2) In the 1st century women were considered a second class citizen of sorts. Yet Christ himself often spoke with women. Even those of the forbidden Samaritan ilk. And when He rose from the dead, the first human being to see Him in His resurrected body, was a women. Clashing sharply with how narratives would be written in the 1st cenutry.

3) Since the cross, the Western world can typically see women's lib as a ploy of the enemy. However, aside from the risqué side, Christ exulting His human creation to a level far beyond its cultural day, would have proven women's rights is not a movement, but a decree

4) So to me, this expression of what is typically seen as radical Islamic suppression "reveals" to the world an open faced exploit in the beauty, artistry, care and trust of and from women in spite of its colloquially surrounding dogmatics typically associated with the Islamic world

5) In that poetic sense -- This dance "revealed" to the world the beautiful created feminine heart in His creation "ironically" in contrast to Islam. God wins in His artistic expression to the world at large. Trump in the West is often dogpiled by media asserting him as oppressive to and hated by women. That is what we get on him from the states. Yet the world testifies this "reveal" of His liberation even within those Arab nations akin to much less expressive feminine permissive disclosure. And like a flag of liberty flowing in the freeing gazing breeze, Trump, and the world inhales the majestic perfume (poetically) of the genuine liberty of His creation from a part of the world that might typically suggest otherwise. A fitting and perhaps even somewhat healing overture to the world. Something very hard to see if understood that all the world is merely a demonic dance. That would be one way to express Phil 4:8.

Blessings.

This post went on an entire journey. And now I'm going to have to look up that song just to see what you're talking about.

Why art thou cast down O, my soul... *maisey*

lol. Um i think the stripper pole thing is because we Western lol. Admittedly it is odd. But I think it looks cool. As a gesture of honor and even loving trusting submission (in an innocent way) dance, wow, its just how this culture processes. And there is to me a simple beauty in it.

Andiamo, I have an extremely worldly mind from my past, but I can see why it might come across that way. Now that you bring it up, I feel blessed in a way it did not strike me like the pole dance thing. It certainly could have. So there is hope for me....lol. But in addition to a dark past dear sister, in some ways perhaps a part of the sanctifying work God is doing in me is you know that saying like to the pure all things are pure? Well I'm not saying that is me. It is for any of us in Christ, amen. Looking at the actual meaning of that passage in Titus (which I am currently going through) is having me see quite deeper into that book. But yeah like so overall though one way I think helps me to grow in sanctification is to have been more interested in other cultural perspectives from how they might see things. Maybe that is why I want to travel the world like that. Perhaps its one big sanctification fest for my trying to undue my past worldliness + the American Reformed trappings yet likely remaining in my heart.

But I wanted to share something that I don't think many people know about. Are you aware that Pole Dancing is actually a real sport? lol. I don't know if sport is the right word. But it is a legitimate kind of sport on the rise in the world. Not in the sense of Pole Dancing in Strip Club. But using the pole athletically without it being exotic perse. Like that is a thing. I met a girl once who was into that. She was not a night club dancer. It was just something she was good at and it was more for her the world it is seen as gymnastically. My heart melted. I could see sensuality in just about anything. But now that we are talking this far along on this, it does kind of shock me that I was not even seeing these girls as doing something sensual. Where I could see how it could be seen that way, though, and especially by me. lol. If that were the case I would have never have posted it. Now I feel like the pole dancing slinger :( Just playing. Wow. But no. I actually feel surprised that never crossed my mind. Like at all. I'm not even sure who I am anymore...lol. This is starting to scare me...stop :D 😛 Thanks for chiming in. Blessings dear sister.

Yes I have seen it as a sport and also just for exercise. Sorry if I reminded you of your past. Hard to believe we live in a world where they have gone mainstream. Even grandmas are doing it. 😱

No worries dear sister. No triggers. You actually blessed me by my wondering like, wow, are you kidding? I didn't go there. And what is even more alarming to me is that foreign women would be more like my type, especially brunette. So I had all the reason in the world to see other things. And yet, wow. No worries dear sister. If anything its like a God shot.

So see this is hopefully something helpful from our discussion on another thread though. For sure we see a downgrade. I am not pretending we don't. You are correct dear sister. I even saw Christian movies aimed at sharing the gospel using profanity in the movie. I was like, nah...i'll pass. But that is where we are. Its pretty bad. But there is another side to it. Sometimes though in my making overtures to that other side, I myself feel like kind of bull in China shop like. Like whatever is being said is like people listening from across the street where its safe lest something broken launhes out into our eyes or something.

But there is, I honestly believe. an entire paradigm in which God moves upon our world where if we look for Him in it we see Him. I'm not saying the girls dancing like that somehow honor Christ. But like a side from all that. Just in general. Like the things God permits into the culture can be used for good or evil like. But i know that we are used to seeing things become more and more perverse. And we are not imagining that. I guess one way to express it is like with shuffle dance.

There is a way to see a lot of that form in innocent young ladies as their expression in honest fun movement. But then there is torking etc where obviously innocent or not it is sensual. But there is a sense I believe where people can do things from a well meant and not sensual place and it could be frowned upon by social norms. In those instances I automatically am drawn more to the defense of the innocents of heart rather than perhaps the norms. That is just kind of how I'm wired. But it is good for me too to keep in mind it could cause some confusion. Thanks for your reply. Blessings.
