Subj: Fwd: » US Government Orders 14 Million Doses of Potassium Iodide
3 January A.D. 2014
The legal side of this issue takes us to the "limits" on what "government" can do and what "government" should do regarding accuracy and frequency of information on such matters. Is there a duty to speak, even in our commercial setting, and, if so, when does it arise and what is the scope of that duty?
The Scriptural side takes us instantly to Egypt and Joseph (the first son of two of the loved wife). During the years of plenty, that which was produced was stored by the "government." Then, during the years of want, the people ended up selling themselves as "slaves," in the very literal sense of "humans owning humans," in order to survive. If the stockpile of potassium iodide is in the hands of the "government," then those who want that will bow to the "government."
Egypt happened because Israel, as extremely small a family as it was at that time, got extremely sideways with God's standards very early on. (One incident isn't recorded in Scripture, and it has to do with the "rape" of the one sister those brothers had. They, two in particular, responded by taking out the entire community in which that guy (a fiance?) lived, rather than just the guy. [See the book of Jasher] ) So, off to Egypt they were sent. It'd be some 400+ years before God would call Moses back from his desert retreat to lead "slave" Israel out of Egyptian bondage, which "frame of mind" we're still trying to shake.
