The majority of Americans are opposed to the Healthcare Reform Bill that Congress just passed. The vast majority of Americans believe that Congress is doing a poor job. But the politics aren't the real issue, in my estimation.
Here is the issue: We are beginning to see a government that is growing more emboldened by the day with their belief that they have the right to decide, and force conformity to, what is "best for the people."
The lamb-like beast is beginning to speak like a dragon. (Rev. 13:11)
The U.S. government (that should be focused on protecting the people and passing only laws that prohibit actions which are harmful to others and not laws that compel certain actions that benefit oneself) is beginning to take the initiative in telling people not only what they can't do but, now, what they must do.
If its citizens do not act as the government decrees they should, which in this case is obtaining health insurance, there are economic consequences. By the year 2016, anyone who has not purchased health insurance will be penalized $695.00 or 2.5% of their income, whichever is greater.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Read Revelation 13:11-17...it won't be long until we see these very words come to pass right in front of our eyes.
Please don't take my word for it...study the books of Daniel and Revelation. They are companion books and fit together like a hand and glove.
Go through this quick Bible study and tell me what you think:

You make some broad assumptions.. but give no solution to the escalating pikes in health care Insurance. To bring the cost down or at slow its growth the pool must be enlarged. How about states that mandate you have to have car insurance which is mandatory. Why does State gov't set age limits on alcohol purchase but deem that same age as capable of carrying out orders to kill and yet distinguish between legitimate orders and war crimes. However I do see the potential to use the same mechanisms to scuttle the rights of its citizens.. but are you really surprised. We can no more stop the trend than we as Church can turn back the Niagara Falls. What we can do is let the bible speak as it does in Daniel and Revelation
ReplyDeleteI don't have an answer for the healthcare situation, or perceived situation, except for us to individually, not collectively, keep our eyes fixed on Christ and learn how to truly abide in Him. If we each individually do that, we will be of greater good to the world than with a million more bills from congress.
ReplyDeleteI think Todd's main point was the shades of the dragon beginning to emerge in the laws and the way they just talk with bold arrogance. I can well see a day very soon when there will again be a marked increase in commands with accompanying penalties and one of those will be the order to Sabbath keepers that they cannot buy or sell unless they have the mark of the beast.
