APPREHENDED
In Matthew 6:19-21
Jesus
talks about what could accurately
be called: Kingdom Banking. He speaks of "laying up" (or
depositing) treasures in a heavenly account protected by what could be called
the FDIC(the Father's Dominion Insured Commonwealth). This
is the vault protected from moth, rust and it is where no thief can break
through or steal. When we speak of this
"heavenly" Bank, we are not talking in vaporous puffy terms but
it is a Rock solid economy that even guarantees an earnest down payment now. The
Kingdom of God is an eternal city and government functioning within each one of
the redeemed who have become fellow-citizens. The Kingdom of God has never had a
recession and has never been in debt. It is so solid that material things (seen)
on earth actually came out of the Spiritual realm and nature of God.
While most tend to think of "banking" in the
simple terms of depositing and withdrawing money when needed... there's much
more to what banks have evolved into. Banking began with
merchants of the ancient world
who made loans
to farmers and traders that carried goods between cities. Due to Adam's
transgression the world got corrupted and a "debt" system brought the
development of usury. Usury
is the practice of charging excessive, unreasonably high, and often illegal
interest rates on loans. The "bank" in those times was nothing more than a bench
or small table where these transactions took place. Lenders were often based in
temples making loans but also added two important aspects: accepting
deposits and changing money. The "moneychangers" as they became to be known were
making huge profits through usury at the expense of people who did business with
them.
This is why
Jesus overturned the tables (banks) and drove the money changers out of the
temple. He said; "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have
made it a den of thieves." He was not mad at the concept of
entrepreneurs and He was not against business people, but these were
thieves embellishing the practice of money changing through high interest rates and
the selling inferior products... in other words,
they were opportunists using the Temple for their own agendas and doing it with
a debt system that was opposed to the government of God's Kingdom.
(Matthew 21:13) When Jesus spoke of His house it went beyond the physical temple
building, but He was speaking of His governmental "household", management, and
Kingdom economy. This economy is a commonwealth and it all belongs to God. We
are not owners of the King's resources, but stewards with access.
Mankind, in a fallen condition
,
set the formation of loans. Over time the debt systems cultivated into the
fabric of society as accepted norms. People automatically assumed they had to
have these "loans" to purchase a house or buy a car because it's considered the
"normal" process.
Continued...
Many of the
things called normal are really crooked but have been that way so long people
think it's straight. It's time for the upright people of another economy to
manifest God's principles that make crooked places straight.
There are
corrupted men in secret places processing a world system to bring nations into
bondage. Our battle is not with flesh and blood,
We are in this
world's economy, but not of it. There is another economy, and it is the Kingdom
of God.
