Most of us were taught and grew up to believe that we live in an elected representative government. That’s the way The Founders of this nation and the Writers of the U.S. Constitution established it. However, what happens when the rules of Government are changed and the elected representatives of the people no longer adequately represent their constituents? How do the undocumented and non-citizen migrants or aliens receive equal or greater privilege and benefits regarding entitlements? How is it that a large number of the millions without Health Care – 15 million or more who are not citizens – are the ones for whom this, and other provisions, become the driving force for such legislation? Has anyone ever thought about (a) how the nation will pay for it, (b) how Physicians will be able to manage the increased load, (c) when reimbursements are being reduced, will the Physician be able to afford having Medicare and Medicaid patients, (d) what about Medical Schools and the disincentive of men and women to subject themselves to years of study, preparation and costs – when they cannot recover financially due to Government Regulated Services and Fees?
Oddly, even though we appear to be in a trend toward Despotism, there are those who like it that way. Despotism is: “Rule by or as if by a despot; absolute power or authority; The actions of a despot; tyranny; A government or political system in which the ruler exercises absolute power.” The Founders cautioned lest the citizenry gain access to the nations Treasury and receive Largess: “(a gift or money given as for service or out of benevolence; usually given ostentatiously; liberality in bestowing gifts; extremely liberal and generous of spirit)”.The U.S. Federal Budget – Where Your Income Tax Money Really Goes. The generalized calculation is that 54% is Military and 46% is Non-Military. The particularization of these categories show (and this is not exact) that 11% goes to General Government; 5% for Physical Resources; 36% for Current Military (plus cost associated with the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars); 18% for Past Military; and 30% toward Human Resources.” As we know, Despotism allows actions and expenditures that are not defined, such as, the hiring of 30 or more Czars (who basically duplicate the work of the Cabinet Officers); and Executive Orders that take effect immediately until the next Congress convenes.
The Book of Judges speaks of a people who, by and large, lived and operated independently from Biblical Standards. They wanted what they wanted when they wanted it. The Lord sent Judges to call the people to their senses and to live in accord with God’s standards. The Primary Judges were: 1) Othniel, (3:7-11) 2) Ehud (3:12-30); 3) Shamgar (3:31); 4) Deborah (and Barak) (4:1-5:31); 5) Gideon (6:1-8:32); 6) Tola (10:1-5); 7) Jair (10:1-5); 8) Jephthah (10:6-12:7); 9) Ibzan (12:8-15); 10) Elon (12:8-15); 11) Abdon 12:8-15; 12) Samson (13:1-16:31). Despite the Message from The Lord, and the clear Warnings given by the Judges, the message and messengers were mostly ignored. They had lost their way and their moral compass. The conclusion - the very last words are these - Judges 21:25 – “In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”
A case in point may be the following: the Nuclear Security Summit Logo, depicting a hydrogen electron in its orbital path around its nucleus, looks too much like the flag of several predominantly Muslim nations. Michael Goodwin of the New York Post wrote: "I am certain the crescent-like design of the logo chosen by President Obama is not a coincidence, especially at an event where Iran's nuclear ambition and al Qaeda's search for a bomb are prime topics." In Revelation 6:12-17 - When he (Jesus Christ) opened the sixth seal…there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth…The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?" We seem to be rapidly approaching that day of The Lamb. Consider these things with me!
