Is it about time that everyone who declares Jesus Christ of Nazareth the King of kings and Lord of lords whose name is far above all other names follows His example and drives the money changers out of the temple?

Usury: Weapon of Control and Enslavement – Part 1 of 2



Paul Adams, J.D.
Activist Post

The world economy is based on the sand foundation of usury, which was considered a sin and tool of covert warfare for thousands of years.

The rich rules over the poor,​
And the borrower is servant to the lender. Proverbs 22:7
Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes its laws -- Attributed to Mayer Amschel Rothschild
The world financial system seems complex but it is actually very simple: a cabal of bankers has conquered the world by lending people and governments money that does not exist and charging interest on it. No lasting economic recovery or increased standard of living is possible for the majority unless usury and the political power of bankers are abolished.

Usury: Weapon of Control and Enslavement – Part 2 of 2



Paul Adams, J.D.
Activist Post

In part one of this article, we defined usury as the lending of money at interest. We examined the history of usury and how it was considered morally reprehensible for thousands of years, prior to becoming the sand foundation modern economies. We also examined the mastery of usury, how they create money out of nothing and use it as a silent weapon for control of humanity.

Here, we examine the crimes and iniquity made possible by usury; and practical solutions.

It will be enough if you drive them out of your own temple, and not worry about others, and the buildings they have built that define what is not the Father's house, let alone what the world does.

I do agree. By defining the temple as our bodies where the Holy Spirit dwells as did St. Stephen before he was stoned, this topic becomes even deeper.

In total agreement ...

He is calling all to come in as far as they are willing to go, but as you know, there is a cross involved, where our present perception of a truth must be forsaken in order enter further into this place, or kingdom/city where it is likened to a place where no man has passed this way before, which is dealing with the perception our soul has given to us of the truth that we are.

Only a son enters into the gates of this city.

Jesus I know, Paul I know, but who are you/we ...

Well, I think there is a difference between usury and interest rates. Seems to me usury is like the interest rates that the mob charged people. But a competitive interest rate that has allowed me to own a home is a blessing not a curse.

All interest was seen as usury up until the 1500s. That's still most of Christian history. It was deemed contrary to nature to reap where one sowed not.

By the end of your 30 year mortgage at 5%, you'll have paid for your home twice.

Jesus drove out the moneychangers from the Jewish Temple by his authority as the Son of God. By what authority will Christians drive out Goldman Sachs and the rest of the ''golden calf'' worshipers who control most of the World Banking Industry?

The best way to overcome this deadly game of Global MONOPOLY is not to play. Instead, we should be using Internet-compatible Fairtrade practices and eating locally grown and organic produce & animal products.

True, yet...

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations....
-- Mt. 28:18-19

The Church should be leading the opposition against usury, yet many of its denominations are partaking in the casinos at the expense of the poor.

We may not be able to chase the moneychangers out of the temple but we can make a commitment to God to stay out of debt and to keep an ungodly usurious claim over the temples of the Holy Ghost. What fellowship should light have with darkness?

Romans 13:8
Owe no man anything, but to love one another, for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Why?

King Solomon advised bringing up our children thus:

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

There clearly is a spiritual problem when someone in covenant with God bows the knee to the usurer. It is perverse, we are not to reap first then sow the seed of interest second.

"I sent you to reap that for which you have not laboured; others have laboured and you have entered into their labour" - John 4:38
See scripture above

That's a lame excuse for oppressing labour.

For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
1 Timothy 5:18

King James Bible
For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

It would seem here, that Paul used the law to justify people living off the gospel (even though he himself did not, likening it to hindering the gospel; our idea of preaching the gospel being the lowest form of the understanding of what the gospel is).

Does God take care for oxen? ... does he take care for sparrows?

If you are in debt, you are in bondage, or a servant to that debt, as much as one would be a servant to sin, but this is how the world system works, it is a system based on gain and as much as this was the case for the woman, and the seed (of a serpent) the thought became to her.

The lamb or truth was slain from the foundation of the world, which foundation was given to us by the woman (or our soul) based on this same gain, who became Eve, the mother of all living as opposed to the heavenly Jerusalem who is the true mother of us all, which speaks to the soul of the individual as the losing of it being the true gain of it.

UsuryFree Power vs Usury Force

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
NOTE:This article is a good backgrounder for those who are becoming aware of (a) the evil and immoral effects of the design flaw of usury and (b) the power and potential of the usuryfree community currency movement - watch for more details during the 9th Annual UsuryFree Week from November 13th to 19th, 2013.
[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Throughout history, the creditors (usurers) have sought to achieve and maintain their status and wealth by controlling the debtors in society through the simple - and at the same time complex - function of usury - a fear-based, control mechanism.[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]There is much evidence to show that the harder the debtors must work to pay their usury and taxes (the majority of income taxes goes directly to pay debt service (usury) on the loans of the various levels of government – (municipal, provincial/state, and federal), the richer the usurers become.[/FONT]

Usury is the path of a serpent no matter what form it comes in.


Nahum 3:16 | Read whole chapter | See verse in context Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.

You know the story, a God of abundance gets the blame for famine and starvation when there is more than enough food for everyone on this planet.

The problem is, there isn't enough money on this planet and few people ask why the little money in existence is hoarded.


How much money does the average Christian spend per month on usury to the Kingdom of Darkness compared to his tithes and offerings into the Kingdom of Light?

We should find this out.

No doubt the narrative of the money changers is in the house of God even as Judas, who as one of the twelve chosen, held a money bag, which snared him just as it does those who are in the church presently. Judas had his purpose, but in truth the purpose was to bring an end to this perception that truth is gain, or godliness, in all it's forms. This gain is always at the expenses of another, and always at the expense of truth.

not only usury but money is such a foolish concept of selfishness, they are all the same corruption and human insanity. but humans can't live without it most of the time. they always seem to have to justify themselves in this old world rather than just live in harmony where everyone would have enough if we all worked together. there are multiple problems concerning the use of money and what it is doing to destroy and enslave so many and to destroy our planet and yet most can't think of any other way to live and certainly all the sheep will trample you if you go against the flow.

all it takes for humans to destroy the planet at this point is to keep on doing what it is doing, maybe that saying for insanity is true:

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ~ Albert Einstein


it takes Jesus Christ to cast out the doctrines of demons from the temple but the sheep just allow them to do what they do so very often... not many were the kind of 'outraged' that Jesus was as this symbol of Jesus casting out the money changers from the temple explains... nay, most humans just bought from them and thought it was normal and sane. there was more unjust outrage from the multiple money changers and Oh how dare someone create change for the better in that place! it took Jesus to not repeat the same mistakes but most can't pull out newness in themselves even though it is a sign of the Holy Spirit producing fruits to give freely to one another.

What, NOBODY seems to have mentioned the Federal Reserve yet. Wake up bothers and sisters! The entire western financial system was recreated exactly a hundred years ago and is built ENTIRELY on usury. The Federal Reserve is NEITHER "federal" nor a "reserve". The US Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the Bank of Canada, etc. are NOT federal entities owned by a government "by the people, for the people". They are are PRIVATELY owned banks which SCAM the people by creating paper "money" out of thin air whenever we are foolish enough to request our governments to "borrow" it! Just google "who owns the federal reserve" and you will see their names. It is USURY in the EXTREME because they are not just charging interest on lending money they have (and could have invested elsewhere) but on money that is only CREATED whenever "we" (our governments) ask for it! Each and every time a new balance sheet is created: Owners of Fed. Reserve PLUS $1 Trillion, "We the People" NEGATIVE $1 Trillion PLUS INTEREST.

The bottom line? At any given moment there is NEVER enough money in all of circulation to pay the debt that is ALREADY "owed" on it the very second it was "created"! It's a SCAM! The pharaohs are back my friends, and we are (once again) being asked to make bricks without straw!

Whenever the government needs to build a new school, road or hospital, etc. ....what do we ALWAYS hear? Do we hear "there's not enough workers"? "Not enough bricks"? "Not enough copper wire?". NO. We ALWAYS hear "There's NO MONEY!". But what IS money? It really is only just an EXCHANGE mechanism that allows labour and materials to come together to create something new. OUR GOVERNMENTS NEED TO DITCH THE FED AND TAKE BACK THE POWER TO PRINT THEIR OWN MONEY. At the end of the day, there's a billion dollars more in circulation, but the currency is NOT devalued because the nation has another hospital! The amount of currency still reflects the actual wealth of the nation...and NOBODY is asked to pay more taxes to cover "interest payments"!
What we need is a CHRISTIAN MONETARY SYSTEM: It's called SOCIAL CREDIT. Look it up.

The last President to speak about this problem publicly was John F. Kennedy. In June 1963 he actually bypassed the Fed and issued $4 Billion in currency straight out of the U.S. Treasury Department. Five months later he was assassinated by a "lone gunman nutcase" named Lee Harvey Oswald. Ya...sure.
