Knife to thy throat
We should never develop an appetite to eat at the table of rulers who exercise authority one over the other[4] because that practice is clearly covetous and therefore idolatry.[3]
Since, those rulers only takes from our neighbors' goods which is one of those deeds of the Nicolaitan and the error[5] of Balaam that God hates and Jesus told us to not be that way.
If we find ourself entangled again in the snare of the wicked we can put a knife to our own throat as we repent and seek the way of righteousness.
From the earliest times the power and possession of tyrants have enticed the people with gifts and gratuities. Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh and Herod. Historians like Polybius, philosophers like Plutarch, all the prophets and Apostles have been issuing their warnings the people of coveting their benefits of rulers.

| 8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. |
| 9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words but the fool will not hear. |
| 10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:[8] |
Both David and Paul warned[9] us that those tables, which were welfare systems of legal charity like the Corban of the Pharisees are a snare because, as Peter said such covetous practices makes the people merchandise and will curse children.
Having a desire for the dainties, benefits, and welfare of these rulers who call themselves benefactors is having an appetite for what the Bible calls the wages of unrighteousness.
The modern Church tells the people in their own wisdom[10] that is okay to desire that welfare provided by the unrighteous mammon but Jesus said it is not to be that way with us.
Verse 6 of Proverbs 23 tells us not to eat the bread nor even desire those benefits that are sweat in the mouth but sour in the belly of those who covet their neighbor's goods through deceit. That sourness will cause us to vomit it up.
We should not listen to the modern Church and its false religion nor eat the feast[11] provided by those covetous practices. People today have need of the "baptism of repentance" if they desire the "remission of sin".
It was the freewill offerings and the charity of Israel, the early Church and America in the beginning which made the people strong, not the legal charity of socialism.
- ↑ Table as a snare
- Psalms 69:22-23 “Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. 23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake."”
- Romans 11:9 “And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:”

- 1 Timothy 6:9 "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 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."
- "Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?" Isaiah 40:21 is about the message of John the Baptist who was "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God" Isaiah 40:3 to avoid the "snare" of the legal charity of the welfare state which which makes the word of God to none effect bringing man back into captivity as human resources.

- Mark 7:9 "And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition." See Corban.
- Mark 7:20 "And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
- Luke 12:15 "And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth."
- Luke 16:14 "And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God."
- Luke 21:34 "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth."

- John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

- John 15:10 "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love."
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 Covetousness is idolatry
- Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"
- Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."
- 1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
- For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.
- ↑ Not exercise authority
- Matthew 20:25 "But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you:..."

- Luke 22:25 "And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye [shall] not [be] so:..."
- ↑ The way of error
- 2 Peter 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
- Jude 1:11 "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots(not "unspotted" like Pure Religion) in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;"
- Revelation 2:14-17 "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication ("to permit one’s self to be drawn away by another into idolatry"). 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it]."
- Ezekiel 16:49 "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy."
- The way of the world is the way of Cain and His city-state, the Corban of the Pharisees and the cities of blood, Nimrod and the Nicolaitan, Babylon and Balaam, Sumer and Sodom, Pharaoh and the foolishness of Saul, and more recently FDR and LBJ and all the welfare States who use legal charity which is not The Way of Christ, the Kingdom of God nor the righteousness of God.
- ↑ These "deceitful meats" provide at the tables of rulers are a metaphor for the welfare that was a snare spoken of in the Bible by David and Paul. The gifts, gratuities and benefits we were warned about by Plutarch who said that benefaction from rulers would ruin the people and destroy liberty.
- ↑ These dainties are Instrumentum regni of rulers.
- ↑ The Fatherless are those who make the state their Fathers and Christ did warn us of the same concerning the Fathers of the earth.
- ↑ Psalms 69:22 "Let their table <07979> become a snare before them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap."
- Romans 11:9 "And David saith, Let their table<5132> be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:"
- ↑ Proverbs 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
- Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel [is] wise.
- Isaiah 5:21 Woe unto [them that are] wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
