Arnold Schwarzenegger, health nut and terminator

Arnold Schwarzenegger was pumped-up, psyched-up and ready for action. It was the night before the Mr Olympia bodybuilding contest, and Arnold Schwarzenegger was supremely confident that he was destined to win the title for a third time. At 260lb of solid muscle, the man they called 'The Austrian Oak' exuded self-confidence, flashing the gap-toothed smile that was his trademark, and flexing his muscles at all and sundry. He was so certain of victory that, after a night of carousing with his fellow bodybuilders - who was on hand to witness his triumph - Arnold decided that he didn't need sleep. He needed sex. Within minutes, he had picked up a prostitute, taken her to his room, and ravished her. When she demanded payment, he flatly refused. 'You should pay me,' he smugly declared. That episode in the German city of Essen more than 30 years ago typifies the arrogance, the bravado and the fundamental immorality of the Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The question is if Arnold Schwarzenegger has a calling from God to be the ax which is to be laid to the root of California (see also Matthew 3, 10)
Luke 16, 16+17: "The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one title of the law to fall."
When Jesus says "The law and the prophets were until John" (Luke 16,16) he speaks of the law of John the Baptist, and abrogates it. When he says, "Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law" (John 7,19), "It is also written in your law (John 8,17), "that the word might be fulfilled that is written in the law" (John 15, 25) he speaks of the law of Moses, not of the law
of John the Baptist. Jesus recognized the Mosaic law, and still more the prophetic books, especially the writings of Isaiah, whose words he constantly quotes. Jesus recognized that these contained divine and eternal truths in harmony with the eternal law, and these he takes as the basis of his own doctrine. This method was many times referred to by Jesus, thus he said, "What is written in the laws? How readest thou?" (Luke 10,26). That is, one may find eternal truth in the law, if one reads it aright. And more than once he affirms that the commandments of the Mosaic law, to love the Lord and one's neighbor, are also commandments of the eternal law. At the conclusion of the parables by which Jesus explained the meaning of his doctrine to his disciples he pronounced words that have a bearing upon all that precedes: "Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things old and new." (Matthew 13, 52)
