Supreme’s ruling small part of a bigger prophetic issue
The Supreme Court Ruling 6-3 in favor of socialist healthcare is just a small part of a bigger prophetic issue. In his dissent opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia may have pointed it out. He said, “Words no longer have meaning if an Exchange that is not established by a State is ‘established by the State.’ It is hard to come up with a clearer way to limit tax credits to state Exchanges than to use the words ‘established by the State.’ And it is hard to come up with a reason to include the words ‘by the State’ other than the purpose of limiting credits to state Exchanges.” Analysis of his profound words point to two realizations about the direction of our nation that speak to its political and social health and to its spiritual condition.
The Supreme Court ruling is really about whether the US Constitutional Republic can become socialist. According to the Supreme Court, the answer is “yes.” And it can be done so with so-called “conservative” members voting in favor of socialism. The argument in this case was the definition of the word “State.” Does it mean State, as in an individual state, or does it mean State as the “statist” government, the State? Six of these black robed oligarchs ruled that the word “State” means the federal government. The 10th Amendment says “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” According to the majority on the Supreme Court, we are all now part of the socialist Federal government.
Which brings us to the spiritual condition of our nation. As Justice Scalia so astutely said, “Words no longer have meaning…” It is not just the Supreme Court, yet it should know better, but much of America that is twisting words to fit the meaning they desire. Equal under the law becomes equality in all things expressed by using the word “rights.” Its now a “right” to have government mandated healthcare. It is a “right” for the same sex to marry. It is a “right” for a woman to kill her unborn child. Its your “right” that you only have a gun for hunting purposes. All these “rights” need words twisted in some way, their meanings changed, so they can become legal under the Constitution and the laws of the nation.
Words no longer have meaning. So what is true? What is just? And by what standard is truth and justice measured? Isaiah 59:13,14 says, “In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. And justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” This prophetic word is what has happened to our nation. Psalm 35:20 speaks of enemies who “devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.” We need to to speak and act boldly with the truth of Christ. Otherwise equity is lost in the name of equity.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
