PART THREE: JEZEBEL IN THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM

As we spoke of before, we desire to walk in God’s way once we understand the pagan imagery in our culture. God does not like mixture. He desires we have a pure walk, holy unto Him. He wants us to understand the symbols and imagery that surrounds us so we can wage effective spiritual warfare.

“And you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and burn their wooden images with fire; you shall cut down the carved images of their gods and destroy their names from that place. You shall not worship the LORD your God with such things.


“But you shall seek the place where the LORD your God chooses, out of all your tribes, to put His name for His dwelling place; and there you shall go. Deut 12:3-5

Many of our banks, financial institutions, and government buildings resemble pagan temples of ancient times. They often have the pillars of Asherah incorporated into their construction. The temples of ancient times often functioned as banks storing the wealth of the government or the religion of that time. Today we need to understand that the Jezebel spirit should not be mixed into our lives and the way in which we conduct our business. We need to understand in our spirits that we are living in a Roman Babylonian society. Once we understand this our eyes are opened to the deceptions of the adversary.

This Jezebel spirit is a strongman that manipulates money and investments in our financial system in order to enslave man to debt. This is what she was brought up to do, just as she manipulated king Ahab and the economic life of the nation of Israel. This is called “Mystery Babylon” in the book of Revelation.


SOME BIBLICAL TRUTHS ABOUT MONEY AND WEALTH

A feast is made for laughter, And wine makes merry; But money answers everything. Ecc 10:19

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10

Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights greatly in his commandments.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever. Psalm 112:1-3

There is a manifestation of righteousness when we walk in God’s Torah. Wealth is to provide for our families and to support the work of the Lord in the earth. Wealth is a state of being that encompasses our health and mental outlook in addition to our financial state. We don’t put our trust in wealth or gold and silver, but in He who provides these things for us.


JUST WEIGHTS AND SCALESIn the Bible just weights and scales always refers to the monetary system and how we conduct our business. Honest scales maintain stability in the system. Dishonest scales create unstable conditions. How is business conducted today in our financial and government system?

A just weight and balance are the LORD'S: all the weights of the bag are his work. Proverbs 16:11

Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small. Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small. But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Deut 25:13-15

In bible times a dishonest weight and scale would be a way of cheating the farmer when he brought his wheat to be sold by putting a 60 lb weight on the scale and saying it is 50 lbs. Then when reselling the wheat the merchant could put a 40lb weight on and tell the customer it was 50 lbs thus cheating on both ends of the deal. This was unrighteous and unjust gain.

How the faithful city has become a harlot! It was full of justice; Righteousness lodged in it, But now murderers. Your silver has become dross, Your wine mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious, And companions of thieves; Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, Nor does the cause of the widow come before them. Isaiah 1:21-23
Does this sound like Wall St and government today? This has happened throughout the history of man but when it runs rampant the nation is in serious danger of collapse.

 
THE KING OF TYRE A PERPETUAL METAPHOR OF THE WORLD FINANCIAL SYSTEMThis metaphor of the King of Tyre is also a picture of Lucifer being cast out of heaven for unrighteous trade and the love of money.

“ By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, And you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing Out of the mountain of God; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the fiery stones. “ Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor…. Ezekiel 28:16-17

We have a war economy in this world. Nations commit violence in order to control other nation’s natural resources. Satan is the perpetuator of the violence and that is the spirit of the world. Adam was put in the garden to work and care for it. Satan had a similar job in heaven and rebelled. He is the father of rebellion. He fell because of his lust for wealth, ruler ship, and money, for the root of all evil is the love of money.

You defiled your sanctuaries By the multitude of your iniquities, By the iniquity of your trading; Therefore I brought fire from your midst; It devoured you, And I turned you to ashes upon the earth In the sight of all who saw you. Ezekiel 28:18

Satan uses these principles of dishonest weights and scales and Jezebel is the strongman that perpetuates it in our world system of fractional reserve banking (FRB). This system is debt based and pays it’s debt with debt. It creates massive amounts of debt that enslaves nations and eventually causes the collapse of every system. The debt becomes un-payable and enslaves the nation and the people. This is what is taking place in the USA and throughout the western world today.

The process below creates the massive debt that our country has accumulated since World War Two. The FRB system creates a debt bubble that makes the nation a slave to the lenders. Who are the lenders? China buys massive amounts of our debt by purchasing US Treasury bonds. What happens when they decide to foreclose on us?

The Antichrist will step into power when nations default on their debt due to financial crises. The world will look to someone who can create a system that will provide food, shelter, and care from the rubble of the collapse. People will give up their freedoms to this beast system. God wants to separate us from this system and He will if we truly desire to walk in His ways.

And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. Revelation 18:6
It is time to get out of debt and seek the way God would have us walk, conduct our business, and financial affairs. In the coming crises we need to be debt free or we will lose everything.
