Rule of Law Threatened by Executive Orders ·

Prophetic Intelligence Briefings

 

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has said President Obama is “dangerous and terrifying” and uses a pattern of “lawlessness on a breathtaking scale” He also said even liberal Democrats will come to regret when a future president seeks to exercise similar unbridled power.

Cruz is concerned about the loss of the rule of law in America and the rise of rule by decree. “We are a nation of laws and not men,” said Cruz. “If we had a system where a president can pick and choose what laws to follow at utter whim… that is seriously dangerous.”

Cruz said the media does not accurately report the threat to liberty. “If you love liberty, that should concern you greatly,” said Cruz. “If this president has that power so does the next one and the next one and the next one,” he added. He also said that Democrats should be very concerned about this practice. What if the next president is a Republican and has all that power, and “who is not bound by the law?”

Meanwhile, President Obama told the nation in his annual State of the Union address on January 28 that if he doesn’t get congressional cooperation, he would use executive action in 2014 to make it a “year of action.”

But President Obama is not the first president to use executive orders. The practice goes all the way back to the first president of the United States, George Washington. Franklin D. Roosevelt holds the record for the most executive orders by a sitting president at 3522. Recent presidents, both Democrat and Republican, continue to use them to bypass Congress, the courts and the constitution. The rise of the use of executive orders is partly a consequence of a deadlocked and polarized Congress, which gives the president the excuse to expand his power.

The rule of law has been fading away with the use of executive orders by successive presidents. And executive orders appear to be increasingly used for major issues of law and policy rather than administrative uses. They are essentially decrees.

The prophetic point is that it is laying the foundation for the fulfillment of the following statements regarding the Sunday law. Could executive action be the vehicle by which those loyal to the Ten Commandments will come under condemnation of human laws?

“Fearful is the issue to which the world is to be brought. The powers of earth, uniting to war against the commandments of God, will decree that “all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond” (Revelation 13:16), shall conform to the customs of the church by the observance of the false Sabbath [Sunday]. All who refuse compliance will be visited with civil penalties, and it will finally be declared that they are deserving of death.” Great Controversy, page 604

“A decree will finally be issued against those who hallow the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, denouncing them as deserving of the severest punishment and giving the people liberty, after a certain time, to put them to death. Romanism in the Old World and apostate Protestantism in the New will pursue a similar course toward those who honor all the divine precepts.” Great Controversy, page 612-613

Can it really be true? America in Bible prophecy – absolutely!
