REIGNING DEBT

I have been thinking about reigning debt. That is certainly the very opposite of reigning GRACE.

That thought got me to thinking about another reign written about by Paul in the early chapters of Romans; reigning death, Romans 5:14.

This past weekend I watched some of the "The World at War" series, 4 DVDs worth. What a reality check that is for those who have no clue as to how bad things can get in the wake of economic collapse.

What comes to mind in the moment, however, is something in connection with the "showers" that the Nazis were offering to those they were taking captive. Those showers were also the reign/rain of death.

My concern has been that the "bail out" of our insolvency will turn out to to be only more acid rain, the rain of debt - the rain of death.

Unlike the reign of Christ, those on earth intent on control, have a propensity for reigning debt. Grace is bad for business, both in the market, politics, and in religion, John 7:31, 32.

MONEY - The Role of Government

Money, properly understood is the universal good of the market place.


The only role appropriate to government, in fact incumbent on government, is that of preventing private banks from doing the kinds of things that the government empowered central banking system has been doing. The policy and practice of the U.S. central banking system has had a more devastating effect on the economy, foreign and domestic than has ever been seen in human history.


If this remains doubtful, all we need to do is wait just a little longer until the fruit of our present monetary folly emerges from the smoke and mirrors of our monetary experts, political, academic, and media.

Insolvency

Wikipedia gives us, the following insight:

"The most common solvent in everyday life is water."

That said, we could say that to be “insolvent” is to be without water, or without sufficient water to meet the need.

From here it is but a short jump to think of things in terms of “liquidity.” The problem with illiquidity, (insolvency) is that indebtedness is like a desert. The rain just disappears into the sand.

Because Federal Reserve money is clouded with debt, no amount of rain from that source can every take away our thirst. What is needed now is real water, real liquidity, not debt liquidity. As the old song says:

What the world needs now, is love sweet love,
that’s the only thing that there’s just too little of...

Returning once more to our last entry:

"THE END FROM THE BEGINNING"

There I am reminded, “never the less I have this against you, you have left your first love, remember the height from which you have fallen, lest I come and take away your candle stick...” Perhaps in this case, that might be the Statue of Liberty or, at least her torch. Perhaps you have already noticed how dark things have become.

The thing that gives new or “first” love its power is the chemistry, the solvency, the liquidity.

That liquidity is still available, but not from the Fed.

The End from the beginning

"And he requires everyone - small and great, rich and poor, free and slave - to be given a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark: the beast's name or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom:
The one who has understanding must calculate the number of the beast,
because it is the number of a man.
His number is 666."
Revelation 13:16-18 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)

Jay: (doing the math)

In the end, it becomes clear that fiat money is a repudiation of the love of God.
