The Real Reason Obamacare is Destined to Fail

"Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and depend upon horses and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord! Yet He also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back His words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers and against the help of them that work iniquity. Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord shall stretch out His hand, both he that helpeth shall fall and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall fail together."
Isaiah 31:1-2

In the Old Testament, Israel is often used as a spiritual reference to God's people and Egypt often is used to represent the world.

In the prophetic scripture above, we see the real reason that Obamacare is destined to fail. It is not about social responsibility, or political correctness. Ultimately, it is about choosing man, and the world, as your deliverer instead of the One True God.

The problem is, man is "hard wired" to be dependent. It is our nature to expect, and to look for, a deliverer. Satan knows this. So when dependence on God (right relationship and healthy dependence) is removed, Satan provides a substitute. In the case of Israel, it was Egypt; the most powerful nation on earth at the time, with "many horses and chariots". Israel had forgotten her God and so, in time of need, she looked to an earthly ally - a deliverer, a "false Christ" - to deliver her.

It was the only reasonable thing to do.

I've heard a lot lately about the hypocrisy of Christians who oppose Obamacare. "If they were really Christians, they would care about all the poor people who don't have insurance" is one of the socialist mantras.

The fact is, I do care, and I do want to see people healed, delivered, and provided for. That is the very reason I am opposed to Obamacare, and most of the other machinations that emanate from the Obama White House.

God will not have to judge America; we are judging ourselves. We demonstrate our guilt to the extent that we turn to the idols of social welfare and government programs to be our provider, our healer, our deliverer.

We demonstrate our guilt to the extent that we call "right" wrong and ridicule true righteousness.

Our President is representative of our nation. We have chosen to give that high office to a man whose name belies his heritage and his birthright; who was the leader of an anti-American organization while in college, sat under the teaching of an anti-American false teacher for most of his adult life, and who has demonstrated and written about his contempt for the Constitution, the Republic, personal liberty, and Christian values. 

We have, in essence, deliberately and thoughtfully elected to our highest office the man who best represents US... we believe he will lead us into a glorious post-Christian era - an era where we are free of the "bondage" of Christianity, free of the demands of God. Like the children of Israel, we have declared our apostasy and uncovered our nakedness. We have, with our vote, shaken our fist in the face of the Most High God who alone has blessed this nation, showered her with mercy, and healed her wounds.

And now we are saying to this false christ we have elected "Be our healer!" "Be our deliverer!"

Hear the Word of the Lord: God will give you the desire of your heart; and the idol you have created will consume you; the wealth of the nation will not be enough to pay for his grand schemes. Your children will live in bondage and your grandchildren will be slaves, just as every nation before you that has traded the wisdom of men for the wisdom of God.
