Thank you for that fine reading, Brother Ray. So we see that > economic hard times fell upon Egypt, and the people turned to the government of > Pharaoh to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain > harvest, and placed the grain in great storehouses that he had built. So the > people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a great tax increase, and gave > it all to him willingly in return for grain. And this went on until their > money ran out, and they were hungry again. > > So when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought their livestock - > their cattle, their horses, their sheep, and their donkey - to barter for > grain, and verse 17 says that only took them through the end of that year. > But the famine wasnt over, was it? So the next year, the people came before > Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing left, except their land and their > own lives. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and > our land. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy > us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to > Pharaoh. So they surrendered their homes, their land, and their real estate to > Pharaohs government, and then sold themselves into slavery to him, in return > for grain. > > What can we learn from this, brothers and sisters? > > That turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in > hard times only leads to slavery? > > Yes...

After Jacob and Joseph passed on, and the Jews began to drift away > from their GOD, even they too became slaves in the land of Egypt . > > I also tell you a great truth today, and an ominous one. > > We see the same thing happening today - the government today wants to > share the wealth once again, to take it from us and redistribute it back to > us. > > It wants to take control of healthcare, just as it has taken control of > education, and ration it back to us, and when government rations it, then > government decides who gets it, and how much, and what kind. > > And if we go along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind up no > differently than the people in Egypt did four thousand years ago - as > slaves to the government, and as slaves to their leaders. > > What Mr. Obamas government is doing now is no different from what > Pharaohs government did then, and it will end the same.
