From the stupor of festive merry making, the King saw the fingers of a body less hand. Writing on the wall a series of words forming some expressions. But in a language, unknown to the King. When all was thought lost, despite promises of wealth and prestige. Along came Daniel, announcing to the King that he could give his gifts of wealth and prestige to others. But saying that he would make known to the King, the interpretation, and meaning of what was written on the wall.

Daniel starts by reiterating the majesty, glory and honor enjoyed by his father. Power and spender provided by the Most High God. So great was the majesty of his world power that all people and nations trembled with fear of his father. So all encompassing, Daniel told the King, was his fathers authority. That he, and he, alone was the sole arbitrator as to who lived or was executed.

But as is the usual experience from power driven rulers, his own perceived self importance overcame him. Resulting in the King being disposed from his throne. Along with all the glory, majesty and honor accorded to the ruler of a mighty empire.

Daniel put it this way, “And he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beast, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; they fed him with grass like oxen. His body was wet with the the dew of heaven, till he knew that the Most High God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointed over it whomsoever he will,” Daniel 5:21.

Daniel told King Belshazzar that his fate would be like that of his father. Condemning him for directing the influence of his kingdom away from the Lord of Heaven. Using the silver and gold vessels from the house of God. As instruments for drunken festivities, in pursuit of the gods of this world. Substances like silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood and stone that can not speak. While distancing himself and his kingdom from God, and reminded by Daniel, that his very breath is in Gods hands. Reprimanding because he failed in all his ways to glorify God, Daniel 5:22.

In part this is the handwriting sent from God. “And this is the writing that was written, ME’NE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHAR-Sin,” Daniel 5:24-25. Which Daniel interpreted this thing to mean: “ME’NE, God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting. PERES; Your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians,” Daniel 5: 26-28.

While the behavior of King Belshazzar and Daniel’s interpretation was of prophetic significances, it has a allegorical application as suggested from the previous posting. Applicable for you and me, as well as for the community of nations; applicable in the following manner. One might conclude that the following mysterious words are the kiss of individual and collective national disaster. ME’ME, MENE, TEKEL, UPSAR-SIN. With the catastrophic experiences declared in verses 21-23.

And what does it say today, in light of U.S. and global economic trends. Where the greatest modern day empire seems to be in the grips of those five words. Because the majority of people have chosen to worship the gods of materialism and shun the MOST HIGH GOD. Lifting them self up against the LORD of HEAVEN by desecrating the House of God. No one knows for certain, if there is any coloration between Daniel 5:1-31, and current events; only time will tell.

But this we know for all of us, he whose name is called The Word of God, Revelation 19:13, will come quickly with his just reward with him to give to every person according to his work, Revelation 22:12. So in the meanwhile let verses 11 and 14 be our pursuit and acknowledgment. “There is a person in the kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God.” Let it be known that they have heard of us, that the Spirit of Gods is in us. “And that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in us,” thus completing the reference of the fifth paragraph of the previous posting. And for the nations, let it be remembered, “… the MOST HIGH GOD rules in the kingdom of men, and that he appoints over it whomever he will, verse 21

Learn how to develop these traits, “There are people in your kingdom (USA) in whom is the spirit of God …,” Daniel 5:11. So that they might say, “I have heard of you, that the Spirit of God is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you,” Daniel 5:14.

In that so much has been said about the purposeful life, why not let the scriptures speak for themselves about the purposeful life. After all they are of a supernatural origin, far over stepping the Greek goddess Nemesis. Who played a duel roll in Greek mythology, and is seen as the goddess retribution and justice. Often inflicting vengeance upon a seemingly formidable and victorious rival. But Nemesis, whose name means dispenser of dues seemed to have had a flare for love. Dispensing her dues upon people, who acted with seemingly impunity by disrupting love relationships.

So it is with the scriptures, for they reveal a duel role too. But there is a difference between the mythology of Nemesis and the scriptures. From the scriptures, Christians are the agents of retribution and justice. With a far more formidable foe, as pictured in Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

But Christians should also have a flare for love. Dispensing God’s dues upon those who would act with seemingly impunity disrupting God’s relationship with his bride.

Christians are the bride of Christ as presented in Isaiah 54:5, “For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and our Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. The God of the whole earth shall he be called.”

From there Christians move on to fight the principalities, powers, darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places. Offering retribution, and justice in the form of vengeance against a seemingly formidable and victorious foes. Because those powers have violated God’s love relationship with his people. Therefore, in a real since, Christians are his dispensers of dues. Because of 2 Corinthians 5:15, “And that he died for all, that they who live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him, who died for them and rose again.”

John 3:8, “The wind blows where it will and you hear the sound of it, but can not tell from where it came, and where it goes; so is everyone born of the Spirit.” While here Jesus was talking about the born again experience, that profound supernatural experience that unifies flesh and blood with the God. That supernatural experience that leaves humanity like Nicodemus asking, “How can these things be?” John 3:9.

So it is with the purposeful life, designed by the Spirit of God, when discovered by the individual like as the wind blows. Not always being able to determine how ones calling to the service of Christ came about and not knowing where that service will propel one. Only knowing that somehow, one is God’s vessel for his dispenser of dues. And that is the final word on the purposeful life, as determined by the scriptures. And that is how this posting came about, designed to be a vessel. Helping the brides of Christ find their supernatural purpose like as the wind blows.

“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace,” Numbers 6:24-26.

In the sixth century before Christ, it was a gift to be able to read the hand writing on the wall. Our wall today is different because all who care can read it. That is because what happened in the sixth century is very applicable today. It is applicable because what happened during the reign of King Belshazzar actually occurred. Because their is no reason to disbelieve, the reporting of a prophet of God. One of the great apocalyptic writers, issuing warnings of the then, now and tomorrows. Some have great difficulty accepting the authority of what people like Daniel wrote about. Yet they study the archaeological history of those civilizations supporting there history and culture as having existed. It is only the God aspect of those civilizations as being prophetic or futuristic in any way that they deny. Which is unfortunate, or better yet, tragic because much human suffering could be alleviated.

So what can we learn from Daniels association with King Belshazzar that is applicable today. Belshazzar inherited a world power from his father. Much like the world power we inherited from our forefathers. Belshazzar in celebration of his world power through a great feast. A thousand of his statesmen were in attendance, who drank wine with the King. Belshazzar proud of the men and women who served his carnal needs. He wanted to reward them maybe much like our modern state dinners. So he ordered the retrieval of ancient beautiful relics captured by his father, King Nebuchadnezzar from the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. This temple was no ordinary temple because Daniel listed it as the temple of the house of God. They were gold and silver vessels, and the King wanted these people to drink wine from them. Merry making at its very best celebrating success, and what they perceived to be their invincible world power. They raised their wine filled vessels and gave tribute to what made them successful. The temporal gods of gold, silver, bronze, wood and stone which were then, now and tomorrow, perceived as the way to success for individual wealth and for the building of world powers.

Suddenly as they partied, came the fingers of a man’s hand. Over by a lamp stand near the wall in Belshazzar’s palace. Shockingly, Belshazzar saw just part of this man’s hand as it wrote. Belshazzar lost control of himself causing mental confusion, urinating his fancy kingly attire. The out of control state continued, as his knees smote one against another.

When able, he yelled for the best minds serving as his advisers. After all, no doubt, they were responsible for shaping the kingdom into a world power. Thinking perhaps to himself that if they had that kind of skill, certainly they could read the writing on the wall. Desperate as he was, he promised them even more wealth and power to any statesmen who could not only read but interpret the writing on the wall. But every statesmen failed the King, tumbling him into a possible relapse of his former condition. Which caused great alarm, and perplexity among the greatest minds within this world renowned kingdom.

Finally the Queen arrived, and offered assurance that there was a man in the kingdom who could help him. According to the Queen, he was a man who is the spirit of the holy gods! Please take notice of that phrase because I will return to it, as it applies to you and me.

The Queen provided her husband with this mans dossier. Saying that the Kings father was so impressed that this person was elevated to the highest position among the kings advisers. Because he was a person of good character and wisdom. Along with his knowledge, and understanding of dreams, and the interpretation of hard sentences. Having said that, the Queen said to King Belshazzar, let this man be called.

And Daniel was summoned and interrogated by the King as to the details of his dossier. Convinced that Daniel was the solution for the uninterpreted writing on the wall. He promised Daniel gifts and elevation as the third ranking person in the Kingdom. But Daniel responded, “Let they gifts be to thyself, and give your rewards to another.” Despite your offer, “I will read the writing unto the King, and make known to him the interpretation.”

What is to follow is of strategic importance because the history of that era, is also applicable to our time. But it will be the material for the next posting.

In a nutshell, this is what troubles today’s world. From A-Z, the mayhem that makes life so difficult. With the (W) in our alphabet representing work or even war. Because work is a requirement for making ends meet financially and governments seem to think that war is the means to that end. And in between hoping to get a little (R&R), rest and relaxation for our exhausted selves.

Sometimes big problems can be resolved through easy understanding. It does not get any simpler than this, “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For everyone that does evil hates the light, neither comes comes the light, lest his deeds would be reproved,” John 3:19-20.

And that contains our lettered alphabet of euphemism’s of (A-Z). With the solutions from our understanding being manifested this way. “But he that does the truth comes to the light that his deeds may be  made manifest, that they are wrought in God,” John 3:21.

In a world divided with so many religions laying claim to both the understanding and and solutions. How can one understand for sure that the truth comes from the light wrought in God? Thus ruling out all other approaches to God.  Again simply as follows, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. He that believes on him is not condemned; but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God,”John 3:16-17. And that is the mayhem addressed through verse eighteen using our alphabet as examples. But the solution for truth being manifested in the light, so that ones deeds are manifested as wrought in God goes beyond just belief. It is anchored in the experience of 2 Corinthians 5:17, where we have this proof that the Christ experience apart from from other religious claims. “therefore if any person be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away. BEHOLD! All things have become new.”

There is a character of enormous influence, who globe trots freely without a passport from one nation to another, Job 1:7. It has been rumored that this character even converses and barters with God. For the privilege of mischief and destruction, Job 1:8-11. With God having the ability to put some limitations on his mischief and destruction, Job 1:12.This character is none other than the great dragon, that old serpent, who is the Devil and Satan. Who is referenced in the Bible, with a destined future pictured in Revelation 20:2-3, with a thousand year holiday. Because he had deceived the nations, but watch out he’ll get another chance. But that will be for a latter discussion, with the point being here, Satan never gives up! Especially those of us within the family of Christ, 1 Peter 5:8.

But in the meantime, God has allowed, that great dragon, that old serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, to molest the earth with great subtlety. This has been done through the conflicting dogmas stirred up by men about God. So that today, we have so many different God’s to choose from as there are specs of sand on a beach. To the point that today, we have a church that is a speech less in unity as it is mostly useless.

This of course has created much confusion because it raises the question, as to which God is the God of truth. From all those God’s, which one is worthy of our devotion and allegiance? After all these God’s demand complete devotion, and expect some demanding sacrifices from their followers. So making the right choice, as to which God to follow is an important decision. But for reasons beyond me, many people  decide that the only choice is not to choose. Deciding that with so many conflicting notions about God, God must be nothing more than a lot of hullabaloo.

Along time ago, I learned that there is nothing that can be done to reign in those notions of hullabaloo’s about God that are embraced by so many. As much as, I want to people persuade differently, it can not be done. To do otherwise just leads people down the path of confusion. And so, I learned, that God does not need me to impound his truth. Clergy, like myself, and other well meaning people just get in God’s way, sometimes.

Here is how to erase those hullabaloo’s and find the one true God. By using my own conversion to Christ as an example. Someone placed the gospel of John in a in a conspicuous place. I picked it up and read parts of it. Later, and  not by coincidence, I suspect, I read a book. Detailing the awfulness of sin and what it can do to ones life. It was as though the author had written his book specifically for me. I experienced an unusual guilty awareness. That I was that lost person without Christ from the gospel of John that I had browsed awhile back. To this day, I have no recollection of what drove me to my knees in confession of my sins to Jesus Christ. And then, believing in him, as my redeemer.

This unusual occurrence, I recall. It was at night and the room was dimly lit. Then, I noticed that it was aglow with a white brightness. Sometimes upon reflection of that February night, I think that it was my new found exuberance. Having the awareness that something about me was different and had caused that seemingly white brightness.

So I went to bed, and when I got up the next morning. I knew that there was something very different about me. Having, so I thought, no familiarity with such supernatural things. And! I was not about to discuss my experiences with anyone for fear that they might think that I was crazy.

So, I got a Bible and started reading it. After a considerable time of reading, I came across 2 Corinthians 5:17. Which reads as follows, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation, old things are passed away. Behold! All things are become new.” I knew instantly that experience had happened to me. Old controlling habits were gone, along with long cherished attitudes. That was the proof I needed to erase my own hullabaloo’s. I was indeed a new person.

One last thought about the supernatural. I was called to be a priest, when I was very young. As the result of an angelic appearance in my bedroom. To young to know what it meant. To young even to be able to read. I found the family Bible and started paging it. Upon coming across pictures of angels, I pointed to them out to my mother. Alarmed I could sense because the Bible was taken from me and hid. But my fascination prevailed, and I kept discovering where it had been hidden. And finally, that Bible just disappeared never to be found by me again.

And here I am today, saved by the grace of my Lord Jesus Christ, in his service. Ordained into the priesthood decades later. Yes, indeed God is able to work wonders in very mysterious ways. God expressed it this way through Isaiah. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts,” Isaiah 55:8-9.

Then to keep those hullabaloos permanently erased here is a suggestion from Philippians 2:12. “… work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. With fear because I do not know what bartering Satan has accomplished with God on my behalf. Knowing that the goal of Satan is to get me to curse God. And to send me among the ranks of those who see God as nothing more than a hullabaloo. Knowing also that God will put limits on his assaults upon me. Lessons from Job.

Over the years, I have to understand the beauty and majesty of the following truths. “So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but will accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it,” Isaiah 55:11. And know this, “The wind blows were it will, and you hear the sound of it, But can not tell where it came from and where it goes; so is everyone that is born of the spirit,” John 3:8.

In short be careful what you accept as truth. Unless you can confirm what is shared from the Holy Scriptures, the living WORD of GOD. In accordance with Philippians 2:12, … “the working out of your salvation with fear and trembling.” Because there is a lot of confusion peddled about God.

With recent postings titled, “From Yesterday 2 Today, Understanding America” and “The Day before Yesterday.”

Perhaps, Winston Church, meant the same thing by capturing this thought. “Men occasionally stumble over a truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry on as if nothing ever happened.”

America didn’t stumble upon the truths from the previous postings. America was given those truths. But the nation seems to have brushed those truths off by picking itself up and going on as though nothing ever happened.

With Jesus seeing the picture as such. “Therefore speak I to them in parables, because they seeing, see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand,” Matthew 13:13.

Why else would a nation turn away from the superintending providence that made America so free, prosperous and powerful? America sees without seeing, hears without hearing, and fails to grasp an ancient reality. Civilizations are not everlasting with this warning from Daniel. “… to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will, and sets up over it the lowest of men,” Daniel 4:17.

Combine that truth with this reality, and we may have the America of today. “He raises up the poor out of the dust, and he lifts up the beggar from the refuse, to set them among the princes, and to make them to inherit the throne of glory; for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s and he has set the world upon them,” 1 Samuel 2:8.

Few would disagree that America’s dependence upon the superintending providence that Ben Franklin talked about has gone deeply south.

Two women, two mother’s, who changed the destiny of the world. With Elizabeth giving birth to a son. And it was decided that the boy would be named after his father, Zacharias, Luke 1:59. But Elizabeth objected, and said, we shall call his name, John. And his father agreed, and so it was, Luke 1:60-63.

Zacharias benediction is a worthy read and study, Luke 1:67-79. Complex yes, need help, private consultations available for individuals and families. Also great material to taught from church pulpits.

“And the child grew up and became strong in spirit,” Luke 1:80a. “And was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel,” Luke 1:80b. Every mother’s wish!! The successful manifestation from the fruit of their womb, whatever it might be.  Because much can be learned about parenting. If mother’s would instill those concepts in their children, the family and the world would be better. Then indeed, blessed is the fruit of your womb and blessed are you among women. Because women set the destiny, for the family, and the world. Enjoy your day, it is indeed your day.

This grown child, John, is the one we call the Baptist. Who came and went before Jesus, and was found in the wilderness. ‘Preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,’ Luke 3:3. The ‘Word of God’ came to John, Luke 3:2. Transubstantiation, one substance being two but only in appearance. People need to know it and experience it! The Hymn, ‘Power in the Blood!’ God teaches his truths many ways. But no greater way, than through willing mothers!

And when the ‘Word of God’ came to John, he found what was written in the ‘Word of God. Expressed by God through Isaiah the prophet, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness. Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight. And make the rough ways smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God,” Luke 2:4-6. And that represents the ‘manifestation’ of the son born of Elizabeth. Which is the duty of all God’s children, not just, John the Baptist.

Can you imagine what it would be like to be called the mother of God? Well that was to be Mary’s manifestation. God dispatched his angel, Gabriel, to Nazareth, Luke 1:26. And the angel said to Mary, “Rejoice highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” Luke 1:28. And now, what we call, ‘The Annunciation,’ “Then the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a son, and shall call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the LORD GOD will give him the throne of his father David. And he shall  reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom shall have no end,’” Luke 1:30-33. Still waiting, we are but the end shall come, 1 Corinthians 15:24. Perhaps verses 33-34 represent the long wait. As God waits for mothers to awaken the cause of Christ through their sons and daughters.

Later Mary made a trip to visit her relative Elizabeth. When Elizabeth greeted Mary there was instant, and mutual recognition, where each woman knew that the other would be a women of great importance. That encounter can be experienced at Luke 1:46-45. All mother’s are women of great importance.

And Elizabeth said, to Mary, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb,” Luke 1:42. And Mary responded with a prayer that the church has tagged ‘The Magnificat,’ prayer. Which Mary prayed, “And Mary said: My spirit rejoiced in God my Savior. For he has regarded the lowly state of his maidservant; behold! Henceforth all generations will call me blessed. For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him, from generation to generation. He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has put down the mighty from their thrones and exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things. And the rich, He has sent away empty. He has helped His servant Israel. In remembrance of his mercy, as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his seed forever,” Luke 1:46-55. Teachings from yesterday and still applicable two centuries later.

And so in closing blessed are the mothers, who magnify the Lord and whose spirit is in God their Savior. And instill that truth in their children, for indeed, all generations shall call you blessed. Because He has, or will do great things through you. And He will be mercy full to you and your family for generations to come. Just a few comments from Mary’s ‘Magnificat’ Prayer.

On this mothers day, blessed are the mothers because like Elizabeth and Mary, you establish the destinations of families and world communities.

As always, where there is glory there is shame. The shame of some mothers is recorded starting with Luke 1:51b-53. With Mary telling us that He has scattered the proud, who imagine that the fruit of their womb can prosper without the helpful arm of the Savior. And He has put down the mighty from their thrones, whether it’s among families or nations.

So the question this Mothers Day is where are the Mother’s of America taking the nation. Because according to God, Blessed are Women among His creation. And, as women go, so goes the nation. Great responsibility with even greater blessings.

Behind every great man was, and is, and will be a greater woman. So this padre offers lectures from church pulpits, to small home gatherings, to private consultations on women of the Bible. Find me through the navigation link by clicking upon the ‘contact us’ tab.

To think of the conquest and repeated defeats of Israel. Only to reemerge again and again. The longest surviving thriving civilization in the history of humanity. On the world stage today as a global power.

To the horror of the Arab/Muslim world, who still wants to eliminate Israel as a state, but can not. Should give everyone reason to rethink this God notion. What other explanation could exist for tiny Israel to survive and thrive. Many will say, especially the Muslim world. It’s because of the United States. And they are right because because Israel and America are one and the same. It was so ordained, as He spoke through his servant Jacob.

Just because oceans and land masses separate us, it doesn’t change the family relationship. It’s ordained by the God of Jacob, and passed through the house of David to Jesus Christ. And we in America hold that family torch in a proud way. But truly humbled to be allowed to share the glory of God with his chosen people, Israel!

And hear we are today living the family legacy of Joseph on today’s world scene. Want some understanding of what tomorrow’s headlines scrambled across all the modern mediums of mass communications? Want more insight into what has been said? It would be most helpful to read the posting, “From yesterday 2 today understanding America,” 11 May 12. With special attention given to five verses in Genesis.

Strong evidence indicates that America is turning its back on its Jewish/American heritage. Putting itself and Israel at risk. Benjamin Franklyn had this to say to his colleagues at the Constitutional Convention. NOTE: Emphasis through out, but put in parenthesis  by this writer.

“All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of superintending providence in our favor. (defined from Genesis 49:21-26. Said differently through our history but understood as the superintending providence in our favor, not so today).

To that kind of providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we forgotten that powerful friend? (In Franklyn’s day no! And perhaps right up and through the second world war, the nation held firm convictions as to whom provided America’s superintending providence).

And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? (In Ben Franklyn’s America, no. In Barack Obama’s America, Yes. It’s not all on Obama. It had it’s beginning after World War Two and has continuously gotten worse. Until we have the America of today. A godless nation by observed behavior. That America no longer needs His superintending providence and can do it on our own. America will learn it can’t! And further more by such behaviors and attitudes, Israel is put risk. For that God has promised a severe curse, Genesis 12:3. Plainly establishing our family survival by covenant, Genesis 17:4).

I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth-that God governs the affairs of men. And if a sparrow can not fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can not rise without his Aid?” (Franklyn spoke a truth which is recorded as, “… In order that the living may know. That the Most High rules over the kingdom of men, gives it to whomever He will will. And sets over it the lowest of men,” Daniel 4:17. May America be spared rule by the lowest of men. By returning to a dependence upon the superintending providence who gave us life and is taking it away).

Centuries ago God laid out a plan of history. But for most, anything that smells like it has a God connection, brings instant ridicule. There are so many ways to respond to such a notion that I’ll just put it this way. By using an old euphemism, “The Proof is in the Pudding.”

An old man, called his family together, and said, let me tell you what is going to happen in the future which he called the last days, Genesis 49:1. Days in which they would play a crucial role. He finds a lot of fault with them. He says to his firstborn Reuben, in whom he had high expectations. But concludes, “you are unstable as water, you shall not excel. Then addressing two of his other sons, Simeon and Levi, he tells them that they are instruments of cruelty.

Then he comes to Judah, his fourth son, and has this to say. Judah, you are the one that your brothers shall praise. Your hand shall cause your enemies much trouble. And you are destined to be respected as much as you will be hated (ancient and modern Israel), Genesis 49:8-12. What we have in those five verses is the picturesque strength of Israel. While giving us the bloody Messianic prophecy of Jesus Christ. Employing euphemistic expressions evolving through the people who constituted Israel. And gave the world the Messiah. And expressed in all its glory, when Jacob prophesied “I have waited for your salvation, O Lord,” Genesis 49:18. And around those phrases evolves what troubles the world. Because Judah was an ancestor of Jesus Christ through the Kingdom of David. And the world was given the Messiah more than 2,000 years ago. And it is why, the Jewish/Christian bond is inseparable. Our histories and destinies are one.

In between Jacob laid out some details about his other sons, But for now, a discussion will center around Jacob’s son Joseph. Who had two sons, Manasseh the eldest son and his younger brother Ephraim, Genesis 48:8-16. In verse 16, we find these words. Note the words carefully because much history, including today’s events swirl from that verse. “An angel, who had redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named upon them, and the name of my father’s, Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into multitude in the midst of the world.” There we have the prophecy for the birth of three nations, Israel, Great Britain and the United States. Along with the ancillary English speaking nations of the world. And Jacob prophesied that from the seed of Ephraim shall come a multitude of nations, Genesis 48:19. As the Jews were scattered globally as a persecuted people. Find themselves being instrumental in creating the aforementioned countries. Fulfilling yet another prophecy, “As for me, behold my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of many nations,” Genesis 17:4. Which included, Manasseh, where we find these words also in, Genesis 48:19,”… I know it, my son, I know it; he also will become a people, and he be great; ….”

And from that statement America was born, centuries later. And then, Jacob or Israel, turned to Joseph and said, “Behold I die; but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers,” Genesis 48:21. And centuries later Israel is once again on a portion of the land of her fathers. Struggling to keep it, as the Arab/Muslim world wants to destroy Israel.

Israel is mostly without the help of Great Britain. Because it’s a very different day for Ephraim or Great Britain. As she has fallen to near nothingness on the world stage. Also announced from prophecy, but that will be a discussion for another time.

The following is the heritage Joseph left for those trio of nations. Rich, powerful and invincible they were through out history. A trio of prosperity and power making them the invincible envy of the world. This is how it occurred. Five verses from the Bible giving the world what it had never seen before. “Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well, whose branches run over the wall. The archers have harassed him, and shot at him, and hated him; but his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob. From there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel. Even by the God of thy father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies under, blessings of the breast, and of the womb. The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and a crown on the head of him that was separated from his brethren,” Genesis 49:22-26.

To think that the conquests and repeated defeats of Israel. Only to reemerge again and again. And then the Almighty of Israel gave the world Great Britain and the United States. And here we are today living the legacy of Joseph on today’s world scene. Tomorrows headlines scrambled across all the modern mass mediums of communications. Will in one way or another be telling the story of those five verses from Genesis.

The journey’s of a clergyman takes them to the dark alleys of human consciousness. To discover this about lifestyles. The very best among us are capable of creating the most infamous of tragedies against each other. It is played out upon our community and world stages constantly.

Nothing new, it’s something we all know. So for now, I leave you with this to absorb. “In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor,” 2 Timothy 2:20.

And, if you have come to know all that, as all in Christ must. Because it’s by this declaration it is so, “Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful to the Master, prepared for a very good work,” 2 Timothy 2:21.

Everything by human design is doomed to failure Only what is designed by Christ flourishes. And, it’s captured in the simplest of language which can not be sold or bought, bartered or stolen, won or lost. Instead it must be experienced! “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things pass away. Behold! All things have become new, 2 Corinthians 5:17.

A prominent surgeon once wrote. “Merriment is very catching and spreads in a remarkable manner, few being able to resist the contagion.” And an Old Testament writer wrote, “All the days of the afflicted are evil. But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast,” Proverbs 15:15.

And I might add, avoid associations with most Christians. For it is a sure way to kill a happy heart and the following sets the tone.

MOST, Christians (emphasis on MOST, not all) are winners and not doers. This was again brought to my attention by some Australians, and non Australians, upset over web child pornography. A horrible evil clearly demonstrating the power of demonic possession. Because only such creatures would hurt children. We are united on our stance but differ on our approach. They see the solution as being with the government, whom I see as the problem. I see the solution through the preaching of the gospel. The gospel is preached several different ways. One way is when Jesus thrashed the temple, calling it a den of thieves. Because it was being used as a house for the selling of merchandise and not for its intended purpose, a house of prayer, Matthew 21:12-13. And there is the model to be followed. But they say that’s anarchy, and I say Christ was the perfect anarchist.

Want some anarchy the Christ way done? Something that is but shouldn’t be. Like the evil of Islam sweeping the nation with presidential urging. Engage this padre in some how to act up skills, so you can act out. Slip down to the navigation link, and click upon the ‘contact us’ tab, and one of us will arrive, as your guest.

My heart is returning to merriment. Just because there might be a few more doers than winners out there than one suspects.

They say failure isn’t falling down, it’s staying done. There are all kinds of motivational speakers on the circuit giving speeches and writing books on how to overcome the falling down and staying down syndrome’s of life.

With all kinds of euphemisms used like the following to accomplish the not giving up attitude. “Come on boy! Pull up your pants and get on with it!” Infamous words from a D.I. during boot camp.

Or what Studs Terkel used to say, “Ordinary people are capable of extraordinary things.”

Including these words from a World War 11 general, who knew a lot about falling done and not staying down. And often barked! “Champions are made to overcome adversity,” General G.S. Patton.

But perhaps the best of them all are the words from Helen Keller, who became the first deaf and blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. Who must have known an awful lot about falling down, and getting up. Who recognized this sterling trait in herself, and passed it on to us. “The world is not only moved by the mighty shoves of the heroes, but by the collective pushes by honest people.”

As good as all that is, for me it falls short, and maybe for you too. With some struggles, how many times can one fall down and get up? No real way to know is there? But this is what gets me up and keeps me going because it goes beyond human efforts and determination. It’s the encouragement Moses gave to Joshua, “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear or be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, he is the one who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you,” Deuteronomy 31:6.

For Joshua, it was the taking control of Palestine. A battle for Israel that has seen it’s ups and downs through the centuries. And is today a global epoch of attention. As the Arab/Muslim community promises to return Palestine to its wrongful inhabitants, absent a Jewish presences.

For me, Deuteronomy 31:6, is central because the Islamic world is determined to rearrange the world community after an Islamic image, absent a Jewish/Christian image. That is what all that Arab/Muslim violence all over the world is about. So simple to understand but most have fallen down and just can’t get up.

But others may know the falling down from other perspectives, Deuteronomy 31:6, is just as applicable in helping you avoid staying down. Several sterling jewels were shared with this posting from people who knew something about not staying down. But beside Deuteronomy 31:6, we in the church have this jewel to add to our collective ability not to stay down. Which is a first hand source, and not passed on from some mere mortal, even one like from Moses to Joshua. But from Jesus Christ himself, who said, “The things that are impossible with man are possible with God,” Luke 18:27. If, and what ever has you down, just get up, and take your coat off, roll your sleeves, and start doing what you either need to be doing or want to do. You can succeed because as we often sing, “The Bible Told Me So.” Blessed getting up and getting on with it.

A shared jewel that has served me well. It’s the last thing that I utter to God upon my bed. The first utterance upon getting up and repeated constantly during the day. Which is, “Direct my steps by your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me,” Psalms 119:133. It’ll serve you well, also. Know this, the WORD is Jesus, Revelation 19:13. And the vesture dipped in blood is his body, John 1:1,14.

Human expression followed by godly action. “True courage is manifest when a person chooses to take a difficult or even a dangerous course of action because it is the right thing to do. Courage is looking beyond yourself to what is better for another.” (Source unknown).

“According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain,” Philippians. 1:20-21.

Ours is destroying the Islamic community through out the United States. As Islam is the true enemy of Jesus Christ. who is God, declared so by John 10:30.  Because they, exhort a political/religious system foreign our Judea-Christian experience and history. Which propelled America to unprecedented prosperity and power. Because this tenet, was once looked upon in America with deep reverence, “Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is none like me,” Isaiah 46:9

America’s history has had great men calling the nation to remember the things of old. Like Patrick Henry’s words a some months before the signing of our Declaration of Independence. Where he said in the House and to the President, “… I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings,” Patrick Henry, 23 March 1775.

America needs similar voices today for its many challenges to silence those like Islamic voices that would silence our American Judea-Christian voice.  All Christ cause are noble, hopefully we can help each in our respective service that we revere above all earthly kings. Because there are only two forces on this earth. The force of Christ for good. And all opposing forces to Christ are evil, and will further damage America. The call is eternal, choose this day whom you will serve, Joshua 24:15. Because the destiny of the world is dependent upon how we choose. Just as it was when Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel together to remember the things of old. Providence allows two choices which will America ultimately chose? What made her great or what is destroying her?

A monkey made a great impression by dancing before an assembly of animals, who elected him their king. The fox was jealous. Noticing a snare with a piece of meat in it, he took the monkey to it and said, “here is a choice tidbit that I have found. Instead of eating it myself, I have kept it for you as a perquisite of your your royal office. So take it.”

The monkey went at it carelessly and was caught in the snare. When he accused the fox of laying a trap for him. The fox replied, “Fancy a fool like you, friend monkey, being king of the animals!”

People who attempt things without due consideration suffer for it and get laughed at into the bargain. (source:Penguin Classics-Fables of Aesop-Fools Die for Lack of Wisdom)

Someone else said,”Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it.”

Jesus said, “Be therefore not anxious about tomorrow for tomorrow will be anxious for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof,” Matthew 6:34.

And then it’s recorded, Ecclesiastes 9:11, this way, “I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happened to them all.

Indeed life is about the choices we make. But there is a commonality among us, that excludes choice. It’s a time line that the Psalmist puts this way, “the days our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet is their strength, labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away,” Psalms 90:10. And that in capsule form is what our existence amounts to, as we travel that time line.

But some of us want more, as did the writer of the Old Testament book of Job which is to live again. Who presented his case as follows, “People who are born of a woman exist but a few days. And they are full of troubles. They come forth as flowers, only to be cut down. They flee as a shadow and does not continue,” Job 14:1-2.

And at the end of those fourscore years, for the fortunate, this is the result. “So man a lies down and rises not. Till the heavens be no more, nor be raised out of their sleep,” Job 14:12.

Then Job asked the eternal question. Which has fallen from the lips of most; if not all, at some time or another. “If a man dies, shall he live again?” But, with this intrinsic awareness. “All the days of appointed time will I wait, till my change comes,” Job14:14. And it will come for the dead, as well, as for the living.

Because we have this scriptural declaration, “You shall call, (God) and I will answer you; you shall desire the the work of your hands, (accountability Revelation 22:12),” Job 14:15. And that should give cause for everyone, to give careful consideration for the kind of life choices we make.

Two historic events wait for there occurrence on God’s time line. Both which sing the mercy, that no person should perish, but that everyone should have eternal life.

John was privileged to witness future history in two segments. The first is an event begging for fulfillment. It’s a gala of a celebration. First God’s rewards the many, who had been executed for being faithful with their witness for Jesus and for the Word of God. Refusing to worship the beast or receive his mark. They *reigned* with Christ, on those thrones, for a thousand years, Revelation 20:4.

While at the same time John saw others who had also been faithful to Christ through out history, but remained in their graves. A the end of those thousand years. People dead for a long time, some more recent or even almost immediate. Were brought back to life and this is referred to as the *First Resurrection,* Revelation 20:5.

This is what is said about them. “Blessed and holy is he, who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priest of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years,” Revelation 20:6.

But the second resurrection brings hope to the many who scoffed at this God talk. Made fun of such talk and ignored any necessity for the Christ demand of personal repentance from sin. With absolute belief upon him, as ones redeemer and Savior. Which also dates way back, before the first advent of Christ. Including all the children to young to have made a conscious decision regarding the acceptance or denial of Christ. Along with all the ramifications as to what it means to be a human.

It was put this way, John was told not to seal the words of this book; for the time is at hand, Revelation 22:10. Then God in his everlasting mercy, will reach out to them one last time, even after their death. People of all ages, irrespective of race, gender, ethnicity or creed, will be given that one last opportunity.

Standing before the Bright and Morning Star of all New Beginnings, the Christ of Revelation 22:16. Inviting those not to reject his last plea to come and drink freely drink. With the Spirit of the Bride (Christians) saying, COME! And let them that are thirsty come. And whoever will, let them take water and drink freely, Revelation 22:17.

Even at this stage of life, it’s about choice. Though the end of life from the Psalmist declaration, in Psalms 90:10, had occurred. Death offers a second chance at life. But another negative choice will result in the second death. Because death and the grave (hades) which had spared them could no longer, and they were cast into the lake of fire. That is the second death, of Revelation 20:14. All because it is recorded, “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire,” Revelation 20:15. And according to Revelation 22:14, the second death is a permanent state of unconsciousness and nothingness. In other words extinction with God showing his mercy. Meaning there will be no eternal damnation in hell begging for all eternity for just a drop of water.

It’s a scare tactic used by many churches to keep the pews full and the cash registers ringing.

YES! There is a real eternal hell to be experienced. It is reserved for a very special trio. It’s recorded as follows, “The devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever,” Revelation 20:10.

Have you ever wondered if the Bible is reliable source of information? Well it is, and here is why! The Bible was written over a period of at least fifteen centuries. Representing a host of different cultures, customs, and languages. With very dissimilar agenda’s considering the varying times that separated their lives. Yet they were able to put together a prophetic story with stunning accuracy. How? Read On!

This included reasons for errors based upon endless translations through the centuries. Where all of the above complexities could come into play and ruin this great godly road map for humanities long historical prophetic journey. Written by the greatest collection of prophetic historians assembled by none other than the WORD of GOD. Who is this mystery character?

What is to follow is just a short journey, as to why the WORD of GOD is authentic and therefore dependable. This great manual the scriptures, has the answer for what plagues individuals. And what plagues individuals, dooms the nations. The cure is at our finger tips  Our scriptures, is it a perfect manual? No! It contains oversights, mistakes here and there, but errors distorting the eternal message no! It contains the perfect prescription for what ails humanity and providing the cure.

It started this way, “Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold! I have put my words into your mouth,” Jeremiah 1:9. A theme that runs from Genesis through Revelation. Forever sealing that God would always preserve his word through time. Do not attempt to understand it because it’s beyond human understanding. It’s a supernatural miracle by God into the affairs of his creation. Just like it’s impossible to comprehend the birth of an infant. Which has no life, until God moves upon that child miraculously and breathes the breath of life into it, and then the child becomes a soul. Grounded as truth and not opinion from, Genesis 2:7.

It manifests itself in this manner, “For this cause, also we thank God without ceasing. Because when you received the WORD of GOD which you heard from us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the WORD of GOD which effectually works also in you that believe.” 1 Thessalonians 2:13.

And when the WORD of GOD works effectually in a believer-from the far past-to the present-and well into the future. The authenticity of the WORD of GOD will be preserved, as invincible. It is the eternal promise, as God said to Jeremiah, Behold! I have put my words in your mouth. With that theme continuing, “For the WORD of GOD is living and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword. Piercing even to the dividing asunder of the soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow. And is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart,” Hebrews 4:12. Slowly, and carefully reread those words because it guarantees the perseverance of the WORD of GOD for all eternity. Because the WORD of God is the blood drenched persona grata of Jesus Christ! (cp Revelation 19:13).

Meaning to keep secure the authenticity and invincibility of the WORD of GOD in spite of the seemingly insurmountable difficulties. As authentic and invincible as the following, “The grass withers, and the flower fads, but the WORD of GOD shall stand forever,” Isaiah 40:8. Because, “In the beginning the WORD of GOD was with GOD and the WORD was GOD,” John 1:1. “And the WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory as the only begotten of the Father, full of truth,” John 1:14. Indissoluble by the very breath of God which dwells in us. Because it is what made us human in the beginning, and continues today as God’s testimony to humanity. It’s His historical documentation for life and time stamped from Genesis 2:7.

One last thought, when God in his providence, withdraws His breath, that is what extinguishes life. Man can’t live on his, or die on his own. That is what is meant by man’s days are numbered from beginning to end, Job 14:5. But there is a future which will be discussed tomorrow.

“Imagine that! We God’s children, are being built together into a dwelling place for God,” Ephesians 2:22. (source:Kevin Jones)

It has other spiritual dimensions like the following for the aspiring disciple for Christ which is found through 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. Which reads.” What? Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have of God, and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

For in the end, that is what life is about. Along with the following, as recorded for us in 2 Corinthians 6:15-18. “And what agreement has Christ with Belial (meaning nothingness)? Or what part have they that believe with infidels? And what agreement has the Temple of God with idols (foolishness)? For you are the the Temple of the living God; as God had said, I will walk in them; I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore! Come out from among them, and be separate saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing (ways of the world of nothingness and owned by infidels); and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”

Then live your life for what you are, the living manifestation of God. A powerful life changing force with world abilities. Proof that that you are the one the world has been waiting for.

Some times the most profound things are said with very few words. Most likely because it causes us to do some serious and deep reflecting. Where the Spirit of God dwells, stirring up some formidable truths. And when applied to our lives, lives are changed.

“It stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice speaks of slaves and masters. And he intends to be the master,” Ayn Rand, 1905-1952.

And who is better than religious institutions at collecting sacrificial offerings? If you are a parishioner of one of those institutions, you are the one doing the serving. In a very real sense parishioner’s are expected to be subjugated to their masters, the hierarchy of those institutions.

That’s the way it must be, when these religious institutions are nothing more than extended voices of secular interest which many have become. In the end that’s all people are by definition, if they are just religious by institutional association. Giving, serving and surrendering to the asunder of secular causes created by the hierarchy of those religious institutions. In the end the hoof never hits the road and things never get moving. Just a bunch of mixed signals and heaps of confusion or nothingness.

But it doesn’t have to be that way, people can be apart of a vibrant Body of Believers, referenced to as the church. Here is part of what it takes for the hoof to hit the road where things get moved. Briefly, here is why religion has so much appeal. It goes back centuries to the book of Genesis, when God created life in three parts. “And the LORD GOD formed man out of the dust of the ground (part one), and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (part two), and man became a living soul (part three),” Genesis 2:7. Thereafter parts two and three repeat themselves miraculously as gifts from God, every time a child is born. That’s what makes women so special, and why Jesus said blessed is the fruit of your womb, Luke 1:42. And, that birth act will always stir humanity to have spiritual inclinations, for as long as God allows life to occur on this earth. Because it’s the God presences within every new born child. And that’s the starting point for the hoof hitting the road with things getting moved, the Christ way.

So to kind of wrap things up for this posting, get away from any religious institution that does not believe what you just read about birthing. And any such institution that condones abortions for the convenience of the parties.

Finally, the miracles provided by God are never ending. Like what was said about giving, serving and surrendering, a spin of what Ayn Rand said. When you find a vibrant Body of Believes, housed in a structure we call a church. The Rand dogma will be reversed. The hierarchy (clergy) does the surrendering, serving and the giving. With you there helping in the surrendering, serving and the giving. Then the hoof will really hits the road and things will really get moving. And who knows what Christ miracles might occur. Even a spiritual revival sweeping America resulting the conversion of many to the one and only true God of Isaiah 43:11. Explained this way, “I, even I, am the LORD, and beside me there is no Savior.”

“You’ve got to go out on a limb sometimes because that is where the fruit is,” Will Rogers. Well maybe so, but that does not mean the fruit is a nourishing substance. The world is full of all kinds of scams from the orchard fields of productivity to the market place of ideas.

And unfortunately the church is not exempt, sometimes reaching deep into the bowels of Christianity. Most likely, that is what Jesus had in mind when he said the following. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so, every good tree brings forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree brings bad fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that brings not good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. Wherefore, by their fruits you shall know them,” Matthew 7:15-20.

No matter what fruit is being peddled in the market place of ideas. From what you read, hear, or are told; it is only information. Maybe true and maybe not so true. Research it all, then accept or reject it. Then you will be able to nourish the fruit of any such truth and help it reach the market place of ideas with all due speed. Or if concluded, it is of grapes of thorns and thistles of figs. Then move to cut those trees down and cast them into the fire.

Which includes the varied fruits peddled in the market place of ideas by Padre  Treu von Hitten, associated with Church for Sanctuary. Hope your research will find our theology sound from our scriptures. Allowing you to join us in the burning of those grapes of thorns and thistles of figs. The fires will burn hot because those grapes of thorns and thistles of figs have chocked the life from some churches. Who find legitimacy in homosexuality, despite clear scriptural prohibitions in both the Old and New Testaments. And who, extend the hand of brotherhood to the Islamic community. There is no such notion of brotherhood, except through Jesus Christ. Outside of Christ, Islam is the enemy of God and his church. As is the United States because it advocates teachings foreign to Christ. Because the one, and only external word proclaims the following. “I, even I, am the LORD, and beside me there is no Savior,” Isaiah 43:11.

Treu is well equipped in the art of burning thorns of grapes and thistles of figs in there varied forms. Just refer to the navigation link and click upon the ‘contact us’ tab to engage one of us in fire burning.

“As a man is said to have a right to his property, he is equally said, to have property in his rights. Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his persons, his faculties or his possessions,” James Madison, March 27,1792.

And who, and what is responsible for this scandalous theft? None other than those, who claim to hold the United States Constitution in the highest of esteem. From the President through the Congress, to the Supreme Court. They represent the *WHO* of the theft of our property rights. Because of their zeal for personal stature, influence, power and wealth. They have subverted our property rights into a cesspool of corruption by allowing *MONEY* to have equal standing with people. They have done this through the *WHAT* represented by the nations corporate conglomerates which dote Wall Street. With their billions of dollars and thousands of lobbyist to keep the government under their dominance, if they want to be reelected. IN A VERY REAL SENSE, ALL PARTIES TO THE SHENANIGANS BETWEEN GOVERNMENT, WALL STREET AND THEIR ARMY OF LOBBYIST SHOULD BE ARRESTED AND TRIED AS TRAITORS. AND SURELY, A PEOPLES COURT WOULD SENTENCE THEM TO DEATH BY HANGING. A JUST MERCY FOR THEIR CRIMES. Because they have collectively stolen our property rights. Because our, Declaration of Independence, boldly declares, that we the people have been endowed by our CREATOR with certain unalienable Rights, that among these rights are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Followed by the preamble of our Constitution which also boldly declares that, “We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect Union establish … promote the general Welfare … ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. So we the people need to get about our Constitutional business and do just that.

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness resulting from the general welfare means certain aspects of those unalienable rights endowed to us by our Creator can not be for profit. One such aspect is a single universal health care. To be funded by the nations corporate conglomerates. Through their billions in campaign donations that keep their flunkies in office. So you see the money is there, after all, to fund medical care for all Americans. We just have to make illegal what those so called public servants call legal. Which has been hotly debated in the Congress from time to time, but the Senate always finds a way for its  defeat. Declaring that such an option is of the table. It’s only of the table, if we the American people allow it to be of the table.

In the end, Obama care will have some kind of public option to compete with the many private health care plans. Those plans offered by the institutions of profits and death from the likes of Cigna, Humana, Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance plans.

Congress will not get their act together even to offer such a public offer. Until they know that America is fed up with their style of governance which reaches beyond the health care crisis.

This is the problem facing the Congress. The people have spoken through many polls that they want some kind of a public option concerning health care. And the Congress is obligated to the people to legislate such a public plan. Because it is written, “Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,” Declaration of Independence.

But Congress is subservient to the health care industry, who fund their political campaigns that return them to multiple terms through out the halls of the Peoples Congress. Yet they still have to have to be careful not to over heat the Peoples anger button for fear  a revolution. Well it’s time for a revolution because things are not going to change unless, we revolt. Because as things stand today, We the People, are without a choice of candidates, whenever an election cycle rolls around. So, We the People, keep getting stuck with the return of those Democratic and Republican treasonous traitors election cycle after election cycle.

And, that is why health care reform will continue to be so controversially argued in Congress. A congressional balancing act to give the health care industry as much of the pie of profits as possible. While at the same time giving, We the People, a few left over crumbs from the pie. Resulting with this, “Where an access of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected,” James Madison. And health care is a property right guaranteed by our Constitution. Demanding a not for profit health care system as the property of the People Which makes the sitting Congress a den of thieves for its denial. Who must be brought to justice, and justly punished. The question is, are Americans up to the task at hand?
