Lend to Your Neighbor

In God’s Laws, all debts must be personal.
There is no place in God’s Justice for impersonal business involvement. The corporate entity is from Hell. In ancient times you were personally liable for your debts to someone who knew you well enough to be a critical factor in your life before they made the loan. Nor are you permitted to invest mere money in any venture; you must be directly, hands-on involved where your money goes. Our culture has this all wrong, of course. On top of our greedy, whiny, needy expectations that lead us to use credit for food, this impersonal debt business is part of why we have God’s wrath on us.
So you might suppose there is coming a reckoning day on things like national debt, particularly government debt. There’s a limit, right? There will be a day when the herd of impersonal investors will decide the US government is no longer a good risk, and turn off the tap. Chaos follows.
But it’s not that simple. The vast herd of investors is not all one entity. The plutocrats are stringing along a very large number of folks who only think they are part of club. You’ll learn an awful lot when you see who gets the haircut during any defaults. Some of it is simple competition between big players. They aren’t all working together except in the sense they are playing a game we never get to see, and some of them will be big losers, too. Meanwhile, the game they play assumes all of us little people are losers already.
I have no solid concept to offer on how this will end. I’m utterly certain it will be in the next few years, maybe this year for some things. There are too many players gaming for different prizes from different angles. You can’t boil it all down to just global bankers, Big Oil, Big Pharma, the Rothschilds, the Jews, or whatever other labels are popularly slung about. What we can know is that most of us are the prey, and we live among predators. Most of the predators own the system and can insulate themselves from direct predation, yet still walk away with all the goodies. That sort of thing goes back before the days of Noah.
On the one hand: Yes, it’s a good time to invest in hard assets. Not just gold, but the means to keep on living and making a life when you have to recreate a system that comes apart. On the other hand: It’s much more important you invest in yourself. Hardware is good, but if you can’t hack the software, it just sits there reflecting your pitiful rage back at you. Make sure you know how to use all those means of survival. More importantly, make sure you don’t get so wrapped up in survival you miss the best opportunities to work toward death.
In this fallen realm, we owe God. Dying is not a sad end, but a happy release from prison for those of us spiritually alive. Those without a spiritual awareness are already dead and don’t know it. Human expiration will fall on them rather randomly, and a lot more of them in the near future. For us who seek a higher realm, we have to earn our death. We have to strive to be in the right place and time to accomplish the mission of glorifying His Name so we can go home to our rest.
Part of that mission is getting directly involved with people. Give your stuff — and certainly yourself — to others. Not aimlessly, but follow that divine call on your resources. Otherwise, you’ll have to stay around a lot longer suffering all this misery and sorrow. While you live, faithful holiness is the only relief. Don’t miss your ride home. Don’t be so hung up on the details you forget what they all mean together.
In the Bible, lending was a term that meant you expected God to repay, regardless whether the human recipient did.
