Remember the story of the frog placed in a pot of cool water. He remains there quite content and happy.
The water is then slowly heated up to a gradual boil. The frog remains not realizing the temperature is rising until it is too late and it is boiled to death.
There is much debate on the truth of the story.
I don’t know if it actually works on amphibians, but it does work on people.
We have a tendency to “get use to it.”
Recently, the US Supreme Court has upheld the Constitutionality of Obamacare.
As far as I can tell, everyone will be required to get health insurance, whether you can afford it or not.
The penalty will be in the form of a fine that will increase more and more the longer insurance is not purchased.
In the state of Texas we are already required to have a minimum of liability on our automobiles.
We are already required to wear seatbelts.
We are required to sign our children up for a Social Security number years before they will need it for employment.
The requirements placed on us are increasing more and more.
What will be next?
Will everyone be required by law to carry a debit card?
Will we be required to see a physician and dentist on a regular basis?
Whatever comes down will be something we will get use to, just like we will get use to Obamacare.
I carry insurance on my truck and Linda’s van; I always wear my seatbelt, and my grandchildren have Social Security cards.
That does not mean I like what the government is now imposing; I’m just saying we seem to become desensitized to it and accept it.
The time will come when the government will require everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. Rev 13:16-17
Those that accept this condition may get use to it in this life but they will never get use to it in the next.
They will have no relief day or night, for they have worshiped the beast and his statue and have accepted the mark of his name. Rev 14:11
