The Covenants of the gods
The contractual nature of governments of the world
 GOD
(THE GOVERNMENT OF GODLY MEN)
VS.
Government
(THE GOD OF UNGODLY MEN)
Are
men the property of the state? Or are they free souls under God?
This
same battle continues throughout the world today.”
Throughout history
there has been what might appear to be a conflict between Government
and God. If such a conflict does exist its nature must rest in a
conflict for position or more precisely one of possession. Through
possession government is able to claim the right of dominion or as it
is sometimes called jurisdiction or authority. When is that authority
of God?
Possession
is, as it were, the position of the foot.
It has been said that,
“All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable Rights… That to secure these
rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed.” On the other hand governments are not endowed by their creators with
unalienable rights and therefore, all governments are obviously not
created equal. Rights shall differ from one governmental authority to
another. For a government’s authority to be just must it be by
consent alone?
The
origin of a thing ought to be inquired into.
To understand to what
extent a government’s authority has grown, we must look first
at its origins. The origin of a thing begins by intent, default or
accident. The latter of these three is not really a valid source,
because, “To the sensible man there is no such thing as
chance.” “Chance is a word void of sense; nothing can exist without a
cause.” “Things do not happen in this world they are brought about.” And since, “The cause of events are ever more interesting than
the events themselves,” then “Happy is he who has been able to know the reason for
things.”
And Jesus answering
said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s,
and to God the things that are God’s. And they marveled at him.
(Mark 12:17)
The question asked
should be, “What is Caesar’s, and what is God’s?”
How did the emperors and governments obtain their right to govern? Is
it by force alone that the empires and governments of the world have
grown in size and authority?
“What
is mine cannot be taken away without consent.”
“As banker James
Warburg, the son of Council on foreign Relations’ founder Paul
Warburg, confidently told the United States Senate on February 17,
1950: ‘We shall have world government whether or not we like
it. The question is, whether world government will be achieved by
conquest or consent.’”
Is there a third
alternative to conquest or consent?
It might be said that
the first government other than the Creator Himself was the first
procreators. In other words the first government was the first family
and the first king was the first father. It should be clear that a
father does not rule by the consent of his children, yet, his right
to rule is real.
“He
is not presumed to consent who obeys the orders of his father or his
master.”
The practice of the
leaders of government and rulers of a nation being called father was
a common everyday occurrence in the days of Augustus, Tiberius and
Jesus. The Emperor was called Patronus (our Father) and Senators
called Patres (father) or Conscripti Patres.
“Patronus (Lat.)
In Roman Law. A modification of the Latin word Pater, father. A
denomination applied by Romulus to the first senators of Rome, and
which they afterwards bore.”
“A person who
stood in the relation of protector to another who was called his
‘client.’”
“Excise
(tribute), in its origin, is the patrimonial right of emperors and
kings.”
Even the right to tax
was tied to the right of a father’s authority over his
children. We have heard of the free bread and circuses of Rome that
fed the apathy of the mob and seduced the people into moral decay.
Like over indulgent fathers the Roman emperors led their children
into corruption and iniquity but also subjection.
If, “A person
shall not be allowed to enrich himself unjustly at the expense of
another,” then it should also be true that any bounties, donations or benefits,
that are not owed but accepted, will create an obligation to the
benefactor on the part of the recipient.
“Who
breaks no law is subject to no king.”
In the original
American Republics, citizenship of the individual freeman depended
upon his ownership of land in fee-simple as an estate, but “in
the United States ‘it is a political obligation’
depending not on ownership of land, but on the enjoyment of the
protection of government; and it ‘binds the citizen to the
observance of all laws’ of his sovereign.”
“Protection
draws to it subjection; subjection protection”
Those who are born
naturally in America but choose to be born again in that political
society known as the United States create an obligation and
allegiance to that political body and its allies.
Some may assume that
the United States of America and the original Republic are one and
the same thing but you have to look no farther than April 3, 1918,
when the new American Creed was read in Congress beginning with the
words, “I believe in the United States of America as a
government… whose just powers are derived from the consent of
the governed: a democracy in a republic.” In other words the
U.S. Federal democracy is a corporate political society that exists
within the Republic, a republic that predates the United States’
Constitution.
When the United States
Federal government was first created it had little authority and
influence over the lives of individual Americans. People commonly
owned land in fee simple as an estate. Today, no one owns their own
land in the United States having settled for mere legal titles that
grant no beneficial interest in the land and subjects that land to an
excise or tribute tax. The same can be said for most American workers
who labor or serve an average of half the year for the government as
members of a vast system of statutory labor and marked by their
employee identification number to prove it.
Many benefits are
offered and provided by government to those people who wish to grant
an authority and dominion to government. An authority once enjoyed by
our earthly father and heavenly Father alone has become the right of
another. These benefits of protection from famine, flood, disease,
poverty or the abuses and usurpation of others have always been the
price for our true subjection and obligation to the Caesars of the
world. Whether those governmental authorities be individual kings and
dictators or the collectively common society and democratic body
politic, their position between man and God remains the same.
“Federal
aid in such cases encourages the expectation of parental care on the
part of the government and weakens the sturdiness of our national
character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that
kindly sentiment and conduct which strengths the bonds of a common
brotherhood.”
The governments, at
least in America, knowing that they had no just power except by
consent began their expansion and growth by offering services and
benefits to individuals that wished membership in their political and
legal society. Seemingly free services have always come with a price
in a myriad of subtle ways.
“By
this provision we plainly said to each citizen substantially as
follows: ‘If you are not willing to pay your proportion of the
expenses of this government, you cannot sue in our courts or vote at
our elections, but you must remain an outlaw. If you can do without
our assistance, we certainly can do without yours.’ Before this
the expenses of government were defrayed by voluntary subscriptions
of individuals with the provision, ‘That in all cases each
individual subscriber may at any time withdraw his name from said
subscription, upon paying up all arrearages and notifying the
treasurer of the colony of such desire to withdraw.’
When thou sittest to
eat with a ruler, consider diligently what [is] before thee: And put
a knife to thy throat, if thou [be] a man given to appetite. Be not
desirous of his dainties: for they [are] deceitful meat. (Proverbs
23:1, 3)
Constantly
bearing in mind that entering into society individuals must give up a
share of liberty…
Quid
pro quo? What for what?
“The
expedient adopted by the Oregon legislative committee in 1844 took
the form of a section of the revenue law which read: ‘That any
person refusing to pay tax, as in this act required, shall have no
benefit of the laws of Oregon, and shall be disqualified from voting
at any election in this country.’
Something for
something, one thing for another, nothing is for free. Those gifts
and gratuities and benefits that we have learned to call entitlements
carry with them an equal and balanced obligation of repayment and
reimbursement. Whether it is the education, health or welfare of our
children or protection from lawless brutes, famine, poverty or acts
of God it does not matter. Whatever we receive and have not paid for
infers a debt and obligation of a reciprocating nature.
“The real
destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among
them bounties, donations and benefits.” For,
“No one is obliged to accept a benefit against his consent. But
if he does not dissent, he will be considered as assenting.” Because, “Every man is presumed to intend the natural and
probable consequences of his own voluntary acts.”
It is not only by overt
consent that a just and actual authority is established by
governments and assented to by individuals, but also by application
for or the acceptance of benefits and privileges not owed.
“Membership
in a political society, implying a duty of allegiance on the part of
the member and a duty of protection on the part of society.”
State:
“That quality which belongs to a person in society, and which
secures to and imposes upon him different rights and duties in
consequence of the difference of that quality.”
“Although
all men come from the hands of nature upon an equality, yet there are
among them marked differences…”
“Three
sorts of different qualities which form the state or condition of men
may, then, be distinguished: those which are purely natural, those
purely civil, and those which are composed of natural and civil or
municipal law.”
He was a mighty hunter
before the LORD:
wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the hunter before the LORD.
(Genesis 10:9)
In Genesis 10:9 the
word hunter is from the Hebrew word tsayid which is more often translated provision, food, food-supply, or
victuals. The word paniym is translated before in the sense of
face or in the face of, before or in front of. So, it could be said that Nimrod was a mighty provider before the LORD or in front of the
Lord.
Yet, we find God has
said, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” (Exodus
20:3) The words “gods” and “God” are
translated from the single word ‘elohiym in the plural. ‘Elohiym is defined “rulers, judges” and “occasionally applied as deference to magistrates” while in the New Testament the word God is translated from the Greek
word theos which figuratively means “a magistrate.”
God goes on to expound
upon this command that, “Thou shalt not make unto thee any
graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven
above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water
under the earth:” (Exodus 20:4) The words graven image comes
from pecel meaning “idol, carved (graven) image” while likeness is translated from temunah' meaning “form,
image, likeness, representation, semblance.”
“Thou shalt not
bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:” (Exodus 20:5)
The words ‘bow
down’ are translated from shachah meaning “bow
(self) down, … humbly beseech, do (make) obeisance …worship.” Serve is translated from `abad meaning “to work (in
any sense); by implication to serve, till, (cause.) enslave, etc.: -
x be, keep in bondage …
It could be said that
God doesn’t want His people to have any ruler instead of
Himself or to make anything with our own hands a ruler over ourselves
other than Him. And He doesn’t want you to beseech or appeal to
that creation of our hands or put ourselves in bondage to it, serving
it with our labor for we belong to Him.
Why did God, meaning
Ruler and Judge, make these conditions and commands for His people to
remain free to serve Him only? Is it because we become like that
which we pay attention to?
“I [am] the LORD
thy Ruler, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of
the house of bondage. Thow shalt have no other rulers before Me…
for I the LORD thy Ruler [am] a jealous Ruler, visiting the iniquity
of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth
[generation] of them that hate me; (Exodus 20:1,5)
In Egypt the people had
been delivered into bondage to a governing body under the leadership
of the Pharaoh but God, ‘elohiym, brought the people out from
under that ruler and became their Ruler or Lord God, Jehovah ‘elohiym
“Ruler” “the self-Existant or Eternal”.
“The
gods are the creation of the created. They are not emanations of The
Eternal. They are made by the adoration of their worshipers.”
Based upon a common
consensus of opinion we should remain in subjection to worldly
governments. This opinion is fostered and promoted and hand fed the
populus of the world by governments and their incorporated
institutions. If that was the message of Christ why was the
governments of His day so adamant about His execution? Why did God
take man out Egypt just to return to it in another time?
But chiefly them
that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise
government. Presumptuous [are they], self-willed, they are not afraid
to speak evil of dignities. (2 Peter 2:10)
The word government is
translated from the word kuriotes meaning “dominion,
power, lordship, in the New Testament: one who posses dominion.” it is from the word kurios which is normally translated Lord
and means, “he to whom a person or thing belongs…”
or as further defined, “the possessor and disposer of a thing,
the owner; one who has control of the person, the master; in the
state: the sovereign, prince, chief, the Roman emperor.” It was
“a title of honour expressive of respect and reverence, with
which servants salute their master.” In the bible this title
was “given to: God, the Messiah. Peter is not warning those that despise government but rather those
that despise any dominion and choose selfish rule over God’s
dominion, by ruling your fellow man. Many governments are just
organized systems of self rule outside of God’s plan.
“He was in the
world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”
(Jn 1:10)
In today’s
society when someone says the word world we might picture a blue
planetary globe hanging marble like in the blackness of space as
photographed from the moon but when the Gospel was preached the
perceptions and viewpoints of men had not reached such astronomical
heights. There are at least four different words in the new testament
that are translated into the single English word world. The first,
from which we get the word eon, is aion which means an
unbroken age and is far more often translated into variations of the
word age.
Another Greek word used
is oikoumene which originally meant “the portion of the
earth inhabited by the Greeks, in distinction from the lands of the
barbarians” but at the time of Christ because of the conquest
of the Greek city states and the rise of the Roman Empire just prior
to Jesus’ birth it had come to mean “inhabited places”.
In John 1:10 the word
world is translated from the word kosmos which means “an
apt and harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, government.”
It probably came from the word komizo meaning “to care
for, take care of, provide for” or “carry off what is
one’s own,”
“He
[Augustus first emperor of Rome who called for the census that
brought Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem] was now, to quote his own words
‘master of all things,’ and the Roman world looked to him
for some permanent settlement of the distracted Empire. His first
task was the re-establishment of a regular and constitutional
government, such as had not existed since Julius Caesar crossed the
Rubicon 20 years before.’
Of course there was no
more harmonious arrangement than the world government that Adam and
Eve found themselves living in when the LORD was their ruler, but
when they decided to make their own rules things changed. Cain later
shed his brother’s blood in the ultimate usurpation of
authority over a brother and began the first city State. Nimrod began
his city as a mighty provider instead of the Lord offering his own
“harmonious arrangement”. The son’s of Jacob were
themselves delivered into bondage to a civil power. They had turned
their backs on God and sold their own brother, Joseph, into bondage.
God brought them into bondage by withholding his providing hand,
allowing famine into the land. Had Joseph remained with his brothers
they would have prepared for the famine instead of Pharaoh.
Later, the LORD God
brought them out of their bondage and became again their ruler,
sovereign and provider bestowing upon them Laws on stone, manna from
heaven and water flowing from a rock as well as protection from
Kings, cutthroats and snakes.
Rome provided free
bread and circuses and the protection of its Pax Romana and in return
faithful allegiance. A reciprocating tithing or tax was due the Soter
of Rome.
If
you have not your own rations you must feed out of your tribes hands,
with all that implies.
If kosmos in the
New Testament is referring to the harmonious and constitutional
government which dominated the world at the beginning of the Gospels
then why would John say, “and the world was made by him”
or “and though the world through him began to exist”
Let us look again at
another notable moment in the history of man’s turning to
rulers other than the LORD Ruler.
…now make us a
king to judge us like all the nations. But the thing displeased
Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed
unto the LORD. And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice
of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not
rejected thee, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign
over them. (1 Sa. 8:5,7 )
It was the voice of the
people that called for a man to be ruler over them. This was not a
new problem for the LORD for he said, “According to all the works which they have done
since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day,
wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they
also unto thee.” Turning from God to other gods is the antitheses of repentance.
In those days they
sought the wisdom of the prophets to choose their rulers and they
were warned that these rulers would take their sons to serve them.
The prophet went on to warn that these rulers would create a vast
chain of command or bureaucracy and that they would take their lands
and live stock and the first and best of what they produce to
maintain that bureaucracy. Those rulers would also take the daughters
of their citizenry to serve them and they would even withhold the
first portion produced by those who were employed in the service of
their citizens.
And ye shall cry
out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you;
and the LORD will not
hear you in that day (1Sa 8:18)
But they said we will
have a ruler over us; That we also may be like all the nations; and
that our king may be law giver for us, and a commander and chief, and
fight our battles. [paraphrased Sa. 8:20]
Today, men do not seek
the wisdom of the prophets for they are wise in their own eyes.
Woe unto [them that
are] wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! (Isaiah
5:21)
For the wisdom of this
world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise
in their own craftiness. (1Co 3:19)
The LORD God did not choose to make the government of Saul and David but
through him that government began to exist because the voice
of the people cried out for a new ruler so that they could be like the other nations and because they had forsaken the
Lord as their Ruler.
While the Pharisees
were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What think ye of
Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, [The Son] of David. He
saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
The LORD said unto my
Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy
footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? And no man
was able to answer him a word, neither durst any [man] from that day
forth ask him any more . (Mt. 22:41,46)
The word kosmo is also found combined with kosmokrator which means “lord
of the world, prince of this age: the devil and demons are called
this.” It is derived from krateo meaning to lay hold on
and coming from kratos meaning dominion.
Put on the whole armour
of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. (Ephesians
6:11,12)
Consider
the words of George Washington, who was called the father of our
country, when he said, “Government is not reason; it is not
eloquence; it is force, like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a
fearful master.” Such a radical statement by a man who played
such an important part in the establishment of the United States
Federal government should lead a reasonable man to realize that only
the most limited authority was intended to be invested in government.
For all these things do
the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye
have need of these things. (Lu 12:30)
“I often wonder
whether we do not rest our hopes to much upon constitutions, upon
laws and courts. These are false hopes, believe me; these are false
hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies
there, no Constitution, no law, no court can save it.” Yet, in America the people have steadily turned over the power and
authority to make and pass law to the government of the United States
in order to obtain the benefits of that government. And that
government in order to provide the justice and order expected of it
has set about revising, editing and adding to the legal system with
an overwhelming zeal. Has this system gone astray or was it
fundamentally flawed?
It should be commonly
understood that, “The custom of fixing and refixing (making and
annulling) laws is most dangerous,” yet, citizens still cling to the regulated freedom of an arbitrary
legal system.
Tacitus warned that,
“In the most corrupt state the most laws.” Yet, we often think that the myriad of laws that overwhelms this
codified legal system are a sign of man’s love for law when it
is a sign of a general lack of law in the hearts of men.
“Society in every
state is a blessing, but a government, even in its best state, is but
a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” “All who have ever written on government are unanimous, that
among people generally corrupt, liberty cannot long exist.” “Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a
wretched situation. No theoretical checks, no form of government can
render us secure.” If rights are responsibilities, is the delegation of a right a
dereliction of responsibility?
The Latin word pater means father and as we have seen the word was used everyday as a
title of address in reference to the Senators of Rome and of course
the Emperor and before him the pro council was referred to as the
father of the senate and therefore the Empire. Also, in the Greek
text of the bible we find Pater meaning father. So, we can assume that the people of the day when
they heard the word pater they thought of one of several ideas.
Either they were talking about their genetic father or their fathers
in Rome or their father in heaven.
And call no [man] your
father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. (Mtt. 23:9)
To make such a
statement shocked those who thought man’s governments and the
Roman political and judicial system, its peace and commerce was good
for society and business. It would be like saying call no man on
earth president. The Emperor was loved even in Judea. He was the
Father of the Nation.
…Our
Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our
debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen. (Mtt 6:9,13)
The US presidency today, once elected, sets foreign relations and makes
treaties, he is the commander in chief of the military and naval
forces, he appoints the supreme court including the chief justice and
federal judges in much the same way as they did in Rome.
The emperors were often
referred to as gods using the words Apo Theos. This was not because
any one believed that they created heaven and earth but because they
were the chief magistracy and ruler of the people appointing judges
throughout the empire.
Most government leaders
today are not called pater or father with the words of the mouth
although they offer us new covenants and contracts and those who
wrote the constitution for the United states are referred to as the
founding fathers and we are often applying for benefits and praying
to them for justice.
It is not so strange to
think of the Roman Emperors as gods when you realize that George
Washington himself was deified in the ceiling of the capital dome.
“Across the Dome’s eye, 180 feet above the floor, spreads
a gigantic allegorical painting by the Italian artist Constantino
Brumidi. The painting depicts the ‘Apotheosis,’ or
glorification, of George Washington. Surrounding Washington is
sweeping circles are delicately colored figures -- some 15 feet tall.
They include gods and goddesses [among them Ceres, Vulcan, Mercury,
Neptune, Minerva and 13 State godesses] pictured as protectors of
American ideals and progress.”
Did God ordain (i.e.,
dictate, decree, impose) the United States Federal Democracy or any
other government? Or was it ordained by false gods of man’s
vain imagination?
“If
we will not be governed by God, then we will be ruled by tyrants.”
William Penn.
As God allowed Samuel
to choose a king for His people because they had already turned from
God, so also He allows man to choose his own rulers if he does not
choose to be ruled by God. In the hearts and minds and souls there is
a turning away from The God, for other gods. Everyday, men make other
men their father through application, service and adoption. Instead
of their Father, the LORD God Eternal Ruler, in the Kingdom of Heaven
on earth, they turn to other rulers being reborn to new fathers.
And because ye are
sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts,
crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a
son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. How be it
then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature
are no gods. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are
known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements,
whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? (Gal 4:6,9)
We often hear
Christians say they believe and they are followers of the word of
God. Are they true to His word? Do they follow in His ways or are
they like the rulers of the gentiles who exercise authority?
Not every one that
saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Mt.7:21)
Are we choosing a new
father that loves us not? Are we denying the Father of us all, being
born into that new father’s jurisdiction, that kingdom, that
government? Or do we seek the kingdom of Heaven?
“If
we cut the world’s population by 90%, there won’t be
enough people left to do ecological damage.” Sam Keen at the
State of the World Forum, September 27, 1995
Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the
world, the love of the Father is not in him. (1 John 2:15)
When it was said to not
love the world, John was not speaking of the planet created by
God the Father, but the world as made by men who were creating their
own world order.
The Pharisees therefore
said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold,
the world is gone after him. (Joh 12:19)
Have we gone after Him
or after the men who are making the world after the discord of their
own fowl hearts? And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the
Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (Ga 4:6)
Jesus said the Kingdom
was at hand. Was it at hand? Was Jesus kidding? Was he wrong? Was he
misleading the people who believed the kingdom was at hand?
The Kings of the east
knew Jesus was born a King, Matthew 2:1. He called the people to
repent because his Kingdom was at hand. He told the people to seek
His kingdom first, Matthew 6:33. He told them to apply to the Father
in Heaven, Luke 11:2. The people proclaimed Him as king, Matthew
21:9. Jesus fired the porters or trustees working in the temple which
was the job of the King, John 2:15.
Pilate said he was
king, Luke 23:38. Pilate defended Jesus as king, John 19:15.
Way back in Mark 1:15
we see that Jesus in Galilee is preaching a kingdom saying, The time
is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and
believe the good news. The apostates, like the Sadducees and
Pharisees before them, still deny His kingdom.
Rome officially
proclaimed Jesus to be the King of the Judea, Luke 23:38.
Jesus told the apostles
that the kingdom would come when we do the will of the father. Mt.
6:10. Luke 24:43-49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father
upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued
with power from on high.
Jesus was taking the
people to the next step. He knew they would have to learn to stand on
their own. This meant he had to leave, John 16:7. Judea was the
remnant of the kingdom of God. Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom
of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth
the fruits thereof. Mt. 21:43 Jesus appointed a kingdom to his
followers to take care of and serve not to rule over men like the
nations nor to be ruled over. … And I appoint unto you a
kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; Luke 22:29. Fear not,
little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you
the kingdom. Luke 12:32
Jesus explained to them
how not to operate that kingdom in Luke 22:25-27 And he said unto
them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they
that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye
[shall] not [be] so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as
the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For whether
[is] greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? [is] not
he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
The kingdom of Heaven
operates on the perfect law of liberty. No one runs the kingdom of
God. The Bible is telling you how to follow God’s plan and what
happens if you do not. But who is preaching his plan?
The book The Covenants of the gods is an
iconoclastic explication that shatters the delusions of a
deceived world. History, law and the Bible are melded together
in a unique eye opening exegesis that answers the burning
question that has haunted men since the beginning of
time.
