In 1 Chronicles 12:32, the Bible says that, "...the sons of Issachar, understood the times and knew what Israel ought to do." There is a crying need in our world today in general and the United States in particular for modern day sons of Issachar. Our world is in desperate need of leaders men and women who can discern the seasons and times and who have the wisdom of God to know what we ought to do.
When we examine some of the recent developments around the world, we can't help but to see the parallel track upon which the United States is traveling. Is it just a matter of time? The overgrown and blotted socialist governments of Europe, including England and Ireland are crumbling. The overgrown and blotted socialist governments of Spain and Greece are bankrupt. The overgrown and blotted socialist governments of France and Germany are on the verge.
Government cannot continue to grow and fund and give entitlements to people who are unproductive. Why? Because when those same governments finally wake up and realize that they cannot sustain the entitlements and welfare states that they have created and try to make changes and cut back on the give-aways...the people revolt. When the government pay people not to work...and when the government creates temporary, unsustainable jobs to bolster political campaigns ultimately those impacted will revolt in some way, when their entitlement is taken from them or threatened.
Is it just a matter of time, before we in this country see the same type of riots in the streets and protest that we are witnessing around the world? I say yes...it is just a matter of time!
Our government's socialist policies and inept economic policies (from the failed famous $800 Billion Bail Out to the ridiculous display during the Debt Ceiling Debacle) have all but crippled the ingenuity and creativity of the American worker and further feed the entitlement mentality of our culture. When are we going to get it? Governments do not create wealth; nor do governments create sustainable jobs that contribute to the long-term economic growth of an economy.
Soon our political representatives will have to face the music and will have to cut entitlement programs such as Unemployment Insurance; Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security Supplement (notice the word supplement)...and when this happens, we will see a duplication of the protect of the Middle East and the riots of Europe right here in America. Its just a matter of time.
