Template:Cloths of service
A nation of priests and kings is where the people are not slothful in their responsibility to give and forgive in the care of their neighbor through a social safety net of charity and attention to the weightier matters.
: Why are the ministers of a nation considered naked and need the people to sew them Breeches and what are the cloths of service described in Exodus 28 and Exodus 29 based on the intent of Moses in the scriptures?

Cloths of service
With the choosing of a King or ruler which God considered a rejection of Him, David took a position to assure the duties of the priests.[1] This gave the king the power to fire or appoint the "porters also by their courses at every gate". The porters[2] were the moneychangers who provided a service in the operation of the temple receiving and converting the contributions of the people.
So much of what we are led to believe about priests is shrouded in allegory and metaphor. The phrase "cloths of service", like the breeches of the Levites or the wedding garment in the parable of Christ[3] are about relationships of service through righteousness and fellowship verses those systems which merely exercise authority. We see this phrase in the relationship to Aaron to the people where the idiom has been misleading to say the least. The word cloths[4] Why does a word ^דגב^ with the Hebrew letters BeitGimelDalet used indiscriminately to mean "treachery and deceit" or "garment and clothing"? And what do they have to do with the Holy Spirit. Then we can also ask about the word service[5] in this verse from the Hebrew letters ShinReishDalet which is supposed to mean "plaited or braided work" but translated "service". The same word is from an identical letters ShinReishDalet[6] that is supposed to mean "escape or survive", appears once in the Bible and is there translated "remained".[7] The normal word for service or more precise the word minister is sharath[8] composed of the letters ShinReishTav with the letter Tav meaning faith.
The distinctive difference between the ministers of God's government and those administers of the world governments is that the former operate by faith, hope, and charity and the latter by force, fear, and fealty exercising authority one over the other. Since the former is a voluntary society and intentional community where the government is supported by freewill contributions it is absolutely essential that every head of a family unit is filled with the Holy Spirit so that they will have the strength and the wisdom to care for one another in love according to the perfect law of liberty. Any sloth in that area or covetous practices will lead the people back into bondage and under tribute like the days of the bondage of Egypt.
