You would have $10 million if America’s wealth were evenly shared.
A publicized economic report showed Americans how wealthy they would be if the nation‘s wealth were evenly shared. Each man, woman and child would have $10 million dollars.
But, the nation’s wealth is not evenly shared and a tiny handful of families have all the wealth. You have only enough to get by month to month. And, your tiny share is shrinking as the share of the wealthy is expanding.
How did this economic situation develop? How do we change it? Will God make a way for us to change it?
How did our modern economy develop?
Our modern economy has not developed at all. It is a continuation of the basic economy that has been part of the world from the very beginning. The basic way that the ancient economy worked was for brutal people to simply steal things from others. In that way, predators rose in society to be the wealthiest with the most power.
I call this the predator economy because this is the way that animals behave in the wild. An alpha male steals from lesser males. And dominant females keep lesser females in pecking orders. This behavior basically describes our modern economic system. Inside tall office buildings that are made of glass and steel are people that are no better than predatory beasts are. And, almost every human since Adam and Eve has made a conscious decision to be a predator in the way that predatory beasts are.
It is no surprise then that a handful of alpha males have stolen all the wealth of the nation. It is no wonder that
dominant females keep other females and their offspring in regimented class systems.
Cain murdered Able because of the economic/social system
Eve started a predatory economic and class system when she decided to eat stolen fruit. Eve soon after observed the "fruit" of her decision. She saw that her first son, Cain, killed her younger son Abel because of class envy and jealousy over wealth.
In the carefully chosen words of Genesis 4:7-8, we recognize Eve's economic system. I will paraphrase the words in order to make the meaning more obvious.
God talked to Cain about his anger and sense of futility regarding Abel. God said, "If you thought about the Passover sacrifice, you would realize that it represents Me as the Lamb of God. You would understand why Abel offered a lamb instead of vegetables. You would not offer vegetables from your farm no matter how excellent they were. Offer a lamb next time I will certainly accept it. If you do not change your way of thinking, you will get angrier, and there is no telling what you will do. Abel would eventually be under your authority and you would be the one to dominate."
We see that the underlying issues were power and domination. And this certainly relates to wealth. It appears that Abel had surpassed his older brother Cain to become the alpha male. That was not the way it was supposed to be because the firstborn was to dominate the second-born. So Cain was very humiliated by Abel‘s dominance.
There is another dimension to the class struggle between Cain and Abel. Cain was the firstborn, and he was to be the wealthier of the two brothers. Abel was the second born and he was to have spiritual gifts. In this way, we see that second-born Abel was the religious leader. We see that Abel was indeed the spiritual leader because he understood that the Passover sacrifice was to be about the Lamb of God.
On Passover Cain had offered his very best farm produce. But it could not possibly be accepted because it was not a lamb. Cain’s choice of a sacrifice of produce reveals his lack of spiritual comprehension. Can you just feel how crushed Cain was when his very best farm produce was rejected?
Imagine your adorable child making a superhuman effort to make a birthday present for you over months of time. Your loving child would look forward in anticipation to your happy response. What if you opened your child’s gift and responded by saying that it was not right? Now, imagine the emotional stress that God was in at having to tell Cain that his excellent vegetables were NOT acceptable.
Cain rose up against Abel. That choice of words indicates that Cain had been the brother to develop into the subservient role. Abel was up and Cain was down. Abel was dominant in both wealth and religious understanding. Cain must have been extremely depressed due to his feelings of inferiority and inadequacy. Cain was too jealous and angry to humble himself to learn spiritual things from Abel.
This way of looking at events illuminates the role of religion in the predatory economic system that Eve chose when she stole fruit that was not hers. By the way, Eve was the second born and she received the spiritual birthright. Eve was the mother of world religion. No doubt, Eve was preferential to Abel because they were both priests. Since the time of Eve,
predatory men have used religion as a means to steal wealth from others. This is a very contemporary issue as
congressmen attempt to protect citizens from predatory religious leaders who steal money from believers through their tithing systems. Like Abel, they live in wealth as dominant males.
Personally, I do not believe that Abel was free of blame for his own death. I have reservations because God was very sympathetic toward Cain. God did not enforce the death penalty that was required by law. Instead, Cain got off as if he committed justifiable homicide. In other words, there was more to the story and Abel was not as innocent as it seems on the surface. Abel might have behaved as many religious leaders do today. Abel might have been a predator despite his insightful observation of Passover.
The story of Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel is actually very relevant to our time. It describes our modern economic and religious system in many ways. For one thing, the basic economic system has been unchanged since their time. It has
always been predatorial, and the immoral have always stolen the wealth of the moral.
Development of our economic system
Early societies were concerned about wild beasts like lions. They were also concerned about rival tribes of people that stole their crops and farm animals. There was a simple economic policy in those times. If you wanted something, you stole it. If somebody tried to stop you, then you killed him.
(Amazingly, this same economic system is used today in much of the world. Corporate executives in high rise office buildings do indeed murder individuals and groups of people in order to steal their belongings. When assassins cannot be used successfully, lawyers and politicians are used. Lobbyists, presidents and congressmen are paid off in order to facilitate the theft of belongings from people that resist. There was a lot of stealing from third world countries when corporations wanted oil and other natural resources. There was a lot of murdering when citizens protested.)
Early societies promoted kings in order to have professional soldiers to protect citizens from lions and marauders. That arrangement escalated into tyrannical kingdoms and empires.
The down side to kings was that they turned on the people they were supposed to protect. Kings used brute force to steal everything of value from farmers, and kings enslaved farm laborers into communes that provided free labor to kings and their offspring. Offspring of kings became members of privileged aristocracies. Laborers were enslaved as a permanent class of "peasants."
Communism was an ancient economic system that was used by tyrant kings. Kings became the lions and marauders of their own people. Citizens were sequestered into communes like penned animals, and kings did as they pleased with them.
Like Cain, kings realized the value of religious authority. Kings became defenders of the faith and even heads of religions. That arrangement allowed rulers to be both kings and priests- in the way Cain wanted to be both a king and a priest. Religion served as a means to have citizens submit to the theft of their belongings in the name of God. To this day, religious leaders steal the wealth of believers in the name of God. Religious leaders live in luxury while subservient tithe payers struggle to pay bills and feed their children.
Likewise, "leaders" in Washington DC live in comfort while taxpayers struggle to support their lavish life styles.
Queen Elizabeth Championing Restoration of US Constitution & Restoration of the US Republic.
On 1-13-2012, Edward McKinney watched these videos, which substantiated his Bible research about an upcoming military coup & a new restoration government.
• The Beast of Revelation Is Coming To YOUR HOUSE to collect America's debt!
• The US Military cannot save you: it is gone!
• Unsealed Bible Prophecy Can SAVE YOUR FAMILY!
Our featured Book: The Beast of Revelation is a present world leader. If you agree with this man's social/political/religious views, you are going to Hell- no if's, and's or but's! Read a description RIGHT NOW at:
"THE DARK AGES" -Chris Cassel, the atheistic director of "The Dark Ages," spews all his hatred of Christianity through his farcical re-history of the Middle Ages.
"Historians" in this farcical documentary are atheist ideologs that are anything but objective. They pull out all the stops to rewrite history in order to degrade Christianity and Christians.
If you are an atheist that is desperate to legitimize his antichrist worldview, this might reinforce your delusion.
If, on the other hand, you love history and truth, you would be shocked at blatant lies and distortions throughout.
This is yet another documentary in a growing list of hate-monger propaganda from Hollywood atheists.
MISQUOTES
Misquotes are easy to make, and we are attempting to correct some that were attributed to us on the Internet.
• 2010 Was Not Predicted For Obama Accidental Death:
We could not find on our web site or in our records where it was predicted that Obama would die of an accident in the particular year of 2010. A fatal accident was predicted, but we have not yet found the year 2010 in that prediction.
• We would certainly appreciate a link to that prediction for the year 2010, if there is one on our web site.
• When we make updates, we try to remember to put them in [brackets], or make them apparent in some way. There could be human error.
• Even encyclopedia writers update their information every year, and newspaper writers correct previous articles.
Edward McKinney is NOT a professor: Instead, he is an independent researcher.
The only way McKinney has been able to make breakthroughs in Bible prophecy has been to dismiss beliefs of "experts" and professors, many of whom are closed minded and incorrect due to their atheism.
We believe that God no longer commissions prophets because there is no need for more prophets like Daniel and John. Our need is to understand what prophets ALREADY wrote in the Bible.
In our time, God gives some understanding of Bible prophets to various people, and in a sense Bible prophets vicariously speak through them. This is the case with God’s Two Witnesses of Revelation.
Churches may not dictate the persons to whom God unseals Bible prophecy. God unseals Bible prophecy for whomever He pleases, and nobody may tell God what He may or may not do.
We believe that God gave to Edward McKinney and various other people in our time some understanding of some things that prophets of the Bible wrote. In this sense, prophets sometimes speak through them, just as they speak through you when you understand Bible prophecy.
We feature people who are trying to develop their Gift of Prophecy, but they are strictly amateurs, and they are not officially commissioned prophets to whom God and Angels directly speak in the way that they once spoke to officially commissioned prophets like Daniel and John.
Ephesians 2:2 You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil--the commander of power on the air. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.
