Government+Finances=Control: Socialism Slavery – Truth Ignored for The Utopian Lie
Governments are AntiGod Theocracies of Control, discussed God’s revelation to Man what governments do in the hands of sinful people. Since all people are conceived in sin, even the best intentioned will not be able to Control government; it Controls them for behind all governments stands the father of all sinners: Satan, the Accuser (Ps 51:5; Jn 8:44; Ro 3:23). The post briefly looked at the first three kings to discover if God’s warning was true; it was painfully true. Saul, desired, desired to be liked by the powerful men who voted him into power. Therefore, he pleased them rather than God; not a good plan. David, beloved, was the strongest king but he also compromised his values to expand his power; and used his son to correct his oversights. Solomon, peace, did not bring peace but division through his many compromises which were hidden behind the great wealth that came to the Jews under his leadership. In the end God’s warning was proved true in Rehoboam’s reign; the sins the father’s taught to their sons came to fruition in the third generation (Nu 14:18). This holds true today with a vengeance!
People came to Rehoboam asking him to reduce the taxes and confiscations imposed by Solomon in building his magnificent Jerusalem (1Ki 12:17). Rehoboam believed that retraction of his father’s impositions would also reduce his Control and if government hates anything it is losing Control. He refused and the majority of the Kingdom rebelled to become the Northern Kingdom, Israel while Rehoboam retained control of the Southern Kingdom, Judah, which eventually became the root of their title we use today: Jews. God did not intervene as He promised when Samuel first delivered His warning of confiscations and taxations (1Sa 8:11-18). The people wanted a government like everyone else, who were all enslaved to Satan, and God gave them up to their desires (Ro 1:18-28). They wanted government to use its Force for Defense, sound familiar? Government has only one tool: Force. Believing one can Control this Force is the epitome of insanity for no one Controls Satan except Sin and Death (1Co 15:54-57). Samuel’s warning revealed that government will Control them through confiscations and taxations making them all slaves to the true master: Satan (Mt 4:8-10).
Old Testament, and Man’s History, Reveal
Struggle for Control Between Peoples
How does government, any government, actually gain Control? Since government does not produce anything it must take what it needs from those it is supposed to protect. Thus, government is the process whereby people choose to enslave themselves for some perceived gain. The basis on which government gains finances was discussed by Samuel: Confiscations and Taxations. The means of producing wealth does not flow from government; it comes from the individuals who develop and produce the products which others desire by they individuals or nations. Historically the means of production was limited by access to resources, technologies available to transform resources into desired products and available capital to realize one’s desires. While much of history gives the impression that lack of technology was the limiting factor, I believe that government was the true limitation. Ancient governments fought for access to wealth which was limited. Their underlying philosophies, paganistic religions, prevented people from discovering empirical truths. It was only after the Renaissance and Reformation that Western cultures began to expand their understanding and nations enter the modern industrial age. However, the true nature of governments was disguised behind empty competing Enlightenment philosophies.
Basic aspects of governments has never changed. The above graphic shows the fundamental elements of any and every national/international economy. Means of production: People/Corporations; choice; self-interest; competition and markets are dependent on government with its unfettered appetite for Control expansion based on confiscations and taxations. As long as individuals and corporations can control the development of their products and trade in the marketplace, they wield the greater Control. However, sinful people always covet more which is the basis of all sin (Col 3:5). Individuals seek to Control the means of production and the markets. Guilds, unions and associations were all attempts of Control apart from Government; however, these proved ineffective as is true of all sinners: they cheat for profit. The ancient empires eliminated this with central government Control and planning which we call socialism today. This was revived in the Progressive Era in Western nations with some countries opting for socialism by force: Fascism and Communism. The legal system enabled governments to gain Control over Corporatism for a time; however, this has been slowly reversed by governments ever expanding need for finances.
Illusion that Business Controls Production
Offset by Illusion of Governmental Control
Governments’ insatiable need for greater finances has enslaved them to the financiers who Control the flow and distribution of wealth. The post World War II world was decided at Bretton Woods by the financiers backed by Control of governmental force; hence, America set the rules {kind of}. The reliance on Keynesian economics, read socialism, rather than Austrian economics meant that the financiers were really in Control. Keynesian economics encourages governments to spend, spend, spend which requires large deficits and continual borrowing; from financiers. Austrian economics saw how Herr Hitler came to power and warned how such uncontrolled spending would enslave citizens; it has been largely ignored because government would have to give Control back to citizens; this it will not do. In its most basic forms Keynesian economics fosters governmental socialism under the Control of financiers. Austrian economics advocates for less government Control with profits naturally spreading out through society. Fascism is just one form of socialism. It advocates for more equitable relationship between corporatism and government. Government becomes too difficult to Control in this system. Socialism with financiers in Control of government behind the scenes is today’s model of good government.
Financiers: Front for Luciferianism;
True Force Behind Socialism
Today’s Great Reset advocated by World Economic Forum (WEF) is nothing more than globalized socialism with regional governments maintaining the bureaucratic Control over citizens which it reduces to serfdom under the guise of equality and fairness; motto of the French Revolution; first modern socialistic revolt. Behind this organization is the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) which advocates a central unified digital currency for the world and controlled by them {Rise of the central bank digital currencies: drivers, approaches and technologies. BIS Working Papers. No. 880.}. Control of a currency not based on wealth is the ultimate control of Governments and Peoples. This is the world God warned against but Man wants. Man believes this will result in a better world since government, not God, will insure their equality and fairness. It will! All peoples will be fairly and equally impoverished to serve the elite who Control the means of production and distribution. Historically, this means shortages, deprivations and violent force applied to those who disagree.
This is today’s Brave New World, drunk on drugs and degradations to the exclusion of truth fostered by government’s 1984–type Control with modern, digital Fahrenheit 451 methodologies fostering doublespeak and doublethink by politicians, world leaders and religions of nearly all ilk {works-based}. This is government’s legacy; handing over of its citizens for greater financial access.
Why did Christ say pay taxes to Caesar (Mk 12:14-17)? Because Caesar was the legal ruler over the Jews who had long ago rejected God as their King. They would double-down on this decision by advocating Christ’s execution by the Romans (Mk 15:6-15). Paul reinforced this concept as God hates rebellion in any form (1Sa 8:18; 15:23; Ro 13:1-7). And, these things must come at their appointed time in order to show the people who are for God as opposed to the majority who oppose God to their own destruction. We are to be the lights in the darkness for those who are perishing even though we ourselves may be persecuted for the World hate us as we stand for His truth taught in the Scriptures and discerned through proper, normative hermeneutical understanding (Mt 5:14-16; 2Co 2:14-17; 2Th 2:3-12; 1Jo 3:11-15). Let us not lose hope and be overcome by the World {Satan} which will degrade us worse than before we were saved. But let us, in Christ’s strength, do good which will overcome the World by the salvation of some despite their Luciferian Lie (Ro 12:21; 2Th 2:3-12; 2Pe 2:20-22). The Lost trade a dystopian Lie for slavery to Satan to live in a world without Christ. This is the true reason they are in the Lake of Fire: The only place in eternity future without Christ; like they wanted (Re 20:7-15).
