The Prophets of Mammon 

The Prophets of Mammon

The Prophets of Mammon represent the global financial system. The traders on Wall Street, bankers, brokerage houses, financial corporations, and companies. The credit score agencies, the treasury…

There is nothing new under the Sun; it has already been done, Ecclesiastes 1:9-11.

There is nothing made that he (God) did not make, John 1:3.

What exists has been twisted into a lie to deceive.

Covenanted based partnership

God said to Adam, ‘Don’t eat the fruit that is in the midst of the garden.’

Why? ‘It’s your sacrifice. The day you eat it, you will die! Your job is to make a presentation of that fruit. I will see your obedience when I come to visit you.’

The Third Party

The Serpent said to them, ‘Did God say you should not eat the fruit that is in the midst of the Garden? God knows that the day you eat, you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

They ate, they died!

The Penalty

Return to dust. The earth is cursed. It will not yield it strength. The earth will produce thorns and thistle. You have to wrestle with the ground to get it to produce. You eat bread by the sweat of your brow.

The Serpent obtained seed in the fall. The first victim of this seed is Abel.

The Serpent works through thoughts, ideas, and imaginations. By the time we reach Genesis 6, the Serpent, through suggestions, thoughts, and ideas, turned creation into a slaughter house.

The earth still has to operate on the basis of a sacrifice.

God sheds the blood of innocent animals. He makes a covering for sin and also makes provision. This becomes the basis of the blood covenant and provisions.

The Partnership

He chose Noah, Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Moses, and David to reintroduce the sacrifice. Noah’s generation missed it building a city. Abraham got it right when was willing to sacrifice Isaac.

Moses delivered the people from Egypt with the Passover Lamb. God gave them a land that flowed with milk and honey called the promised land, a symbol of the Garden of Eden. God gave them a blueprint to build a tabernacle, a dwelling place so that he could live among them. He gave them a priesthood to offer sacrifices and offerings.

“Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant  with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be a snare in the midst of thee: BUT ye shall shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: for thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifices.”  Exodus 34:12-16

The Serpent gave them a substitute

The people said to Aaron, ‘Up Make us gods, Exodus 32:1-6. This is how they got the Golden Calf. This Calf is now represented on Wall Street as Brass Bull.

They told the prophet Samuel, ‘Give us a man to fight our battles. God said, “Do as the people said, they have not rejected, but they have rejected me that I shall not reign over them.’ 1 Samuel 8:6-7.

I heard a speech that Adolf Hitler gave, and he said, ‘I AM ALONE THE Judge of the German people.’

Israel asked the prophet Samuel, “Give us a king to judge us.” I Samuel 8:6

God told Samuel to tell them what a king would do to them. Solomon was that king who took everything from them to finance his lifestyle, I Kings 12:16

King Solomon took their land and inheritance and opened the door to idol worship on a grand scale, 1 Kings 11:1-13.

Jezebel and Ahab, through the prophets of Baal, burned sacrifices to Baal. Jezebel nutured Baal worship in Israel.

Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal. He overthrew the worship of Baal.

The Serpent has a worship system

The Serpent has a platform. He has given people an idol, a statue, a substitute for God. He has a priesthood in every land.

There is only one global system. The Serpent is the head of this system as far as man is concerned.

The Federal Reserve is the temple of this system. Money is the life flow of this system. 

Revelation 18:1-24 describes this system, the alliance. This relationship is called fornication because it violates the covenant God made with Noah and his descendants. You can see signs of this covenant in Genesis 9:13 and in Revelation 4:3. The Rainbow 🌈  in both places.

The city that they attempted to build that became Babel is in full display in Revelation, chapters 17-18.

What kind of relationship should we have with money

Some believers worship money. They make decisions based on money. They get their reputation from it. In this system, rich people are worshipped.

Jesus’s teaching on money, particularly in Luke 16, seems to suggest that money is to be used as a tool. The unfaithful steward was commended for his wisdom in using it to bring in money that was due his employer.

Jesus said, ‘If we are not faithful with unrighteous mammon, who will commit to our trust the true riches.’ Luke 16:11.

Grace and peace!
