Revision as of 10:39, 20 April 2018

The seventy were not to rule over the people but oversee that which was given to God, Later in the apostacy of Judea and The Hasmonean Whoredom they were given legislative powers over the people.

Israel and what became known as Judea got farther from the precepts of God's kingdom. Because the voice of the people sought a ruler to take authority. The prophecy of 1 Samuel 8 would eventually oppress them under tribute and tyranny.

The Hellenized John Hyrcanus in 113 BCE left the control of the kingdom to his wife and the high priesthood to his son Aristobulus. Aristobulus had his mother starved to death and threw three of his brothers in prison and another he eventually killed.

Aristobulus was the first Hasmonean to actually crown himself king and then in 103 B.C., died of illness whereupon his wife, Salome Alexandra, released his brothers from prison and married the eldest, Alexander Jannaeus, in accordance with the biblical levirate law (Yibum).

Alexander Jannaeus Hellenic ways were also despised by the people. In one incident he had over 6,000 men - according to Josephus - put to death for protesting his abuses. But that was nothing compared to the 50,000 Jews who were killed due to the Pharisees, a powerful school of rabbis, and their revolt.

Alexander Jannaeus died in 76 BCE, leaving his kingdom to his wife, Queen Salome Alexandra.

Queen Salome secured her power by siding with the Pharisees and establishing a rabbinical council with legislative powers and judicial authority which was called the Sanhedrin.

The seventy of Moses

This new Sanhedrin had nothing to do with what Moses had set up back in Numbers 11:16 * "And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee."

The "elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people" are merely heads of families. They are also called by the people to serve as ministers of congregations of the people or even ministers of ministers of the people.

But the phrase "officers over them" does not include the words "over them" in the Hebrew text. They are officers but the question is over what and in what capacity?


The word "officer" VavShemTetReishYodVav וְשֹׁטְרָ֑יו is from shoter ShemTetReish[1] which only appear in this form in Exodus 5:10 and refers not to the taskmasters of Pharaoh who ruled over the people but the "officers" who controlled the flow of straw.


The words "that they may stand" is from the Hebrew word yatsab TzadikBeit[2] but appears as VavHeyTavYodTzadikBeitVav וְהִֽתְיַצְּב֥וּ and in Deuteronomy 31:14 and Jeremiah 46:4. It is also separated by a Vav at the beginning and end as we see with the word officer VavShemTetReishYodVav.

The Pharisees were either patriots to their written Godly covenant or constitution of that nation. Their love of legalism brought about a Sanhedrin that made laws, binding the people to the traditions of that body politic, hypocritically[3] stifling if not strangling the very liberty under God's kingdom which they professed.

They were “painfully punctilious about legal trifles and casuistries, while reckless of truth, righteousness, and the fear of God; cleansing the exterior man while full of iniquity within.”[4]

The contrast of Paul's bondage under the Mishna or law of the Pharisee explains his uncompromising stand on Christian justification by faith only. It was that law that had governed every aspect of their life which was nailed to the cross.


When the Pharisees sat in the seat of the government their legalism imposed itself through statutes, often as heavy burdens. But they knew that they could not subject the people without their consent.[5]

  • “A vow is a solemn promise made to God to perform or to abstain from performing a certain thing.”[6]

With the aid of the kings they offered social welfare schemes that spread over the Roman world. All that was required was the consent of the people through some system of application and registered membership under the guise of welfare and care. Soon their temple treasuries filled with the contributions of the people for the care of the widows and orphans, aged and infirm. Though this was a religion, it was not pure religion.

This Public Religion needed to be regulated by the Sanhedrin who function according to a spirit of force.

This is what was meant by:


The Pharisees still had some charity, many rituals and ceremonies, but freewill offerings were a token of the overall welfare of their society. Most of the benefits of their government were provided by funds collected through taxation. The once charitable offerings of the people had become an accounted scribes and forced contribution given to the temple.

The amount was determined by the legislating powers of the Sanhedrin and the kings. That power to exercise authority over the people grew, as the people applied for the entitlements and benefits of the growing bureaucracy of the Pharisees. What should have been for their welfare had become a snare.[7]

The Pharisees were popular because of their stoic modesty. On the outside they gave the appearance of service and sacrifice but the living quarters of the priests of the temple were more lavish than that of the kings. But it was the participation by the people in the political and religious schemes of the Pharisees that made them mutually implicit in that sin of statutory corban.

In Egypt the people could eat of the flesh pots of the Pharaoh.[8] Since the Egyptians were vegetarians, this reference to flesh pots[9] had nothing to do with their diet. This was a metaphor describing a social welfare system of pharaoh as a benefactor who could exercise authority and it included the governmental structure of corvée and corban which God opposed.[10]

The sons of Jacob had become entangled in Egypt and God said to never return there again.[11] Because they had chosen to throw their brother Joseph into a pit of slavery, they did not have their own provisions and rations when famine came. When hard times were upon them they gave up their God-given rights, and went into bondage, becoming entangled in the elements of the world,[12] making covenants with men[13] who called themselves benefactors, but exercised authority one over the other.[14]

  • Exodus 18:21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place [such] over them, [to be] rulers of thousands, [and] rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:"

The word "ruler" is said to be from ShemReish[15] but is actually written ShemReishYod. There is another word ShemReishReish which is the verb for "rule" as in rule over us.[16]

The term "pentecontarch" in ancient History was a person in charge of a fifty-oared ship; the commander of a penteconter. The term is used in the Septuagint from πεντήκοντα fifty + -αρχος[17] But again these men who led fifty were not rulers exercising authority one over the other. The same is true of those who served a hundred (hecatontarch) and a thousand (chiliarch).

Christ commanded that his disciples follow this pattern in organizing the people not so that men could exercise authority one over the other but so that the flow of righteous benefits like bread to those in true need could be properly done.

Capitalism works best in a society where people love their neighbor as themselves, where the State is superfluous because the power of the State remains in the hands of the individual as God intended. The individual, as a natural inhabitant, can only remain free in a state of nature as long as he remains virtuous. Capitalism does not dictate virtue. Greed or charity remain a choice in a free society. Socialism always brings an end to virtue with the empowerment of the State because it is the stumblingblock of Balaam.
“If Virtue & Knowledge are diffused among the People, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great Security”[18] In a republic of noble and virtuous souls there are few affairs of the people that are not taken care of by the people for the people.

Beware of gifts

"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

There are gifts of God and man.

Plutarch said “The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits.”

But Proverbs 19:6 tells us the same thing, "Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man [is] a friend to him that giveth gifts."

Polybius said "The masses continue with an appetite for benefits and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of force and violence. The people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others... institute the rule of violence; and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder, until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch."

This rule of violence and plunder is the same we hear about in Matthew 11:12 "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." and in Luke 16:16 "The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it." The Repentance associated with the act of Baptism was turning away from these Covetous systems of the Welfare of the World and going back to The Way of Fervent Charity with the Eucharist of Christ.

"He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live." Proverbs 15:27

The wages of unrighteousness offered by men brings the rights and liberty of man[19] given by God to nothing[20] and their right to judge to confusion.[21]

The gifts of God which set men free[22] come to those who will walk the Way of God.[23]

The Paul the Apostle wrote to a number of Early Christian communities in Galatia, "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another." Galatians 5:13-15

When Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 8:9 "But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak." the word "liberty" is the same word exousia Paul uses in Romans 13.

The same word we see as power in Romans 13 is translated right in Hebrews 13:10[24] and Revelation 22:14.[25] and also in Revelation 18[26] concerning the fall of Babylon and the merchants of the earth who are the merchants of men who together with the kings of the earth have committed fornication. Rulers of the world of men not only have sought to take man's endowed dominion from him but have conspired to make all men take the Mark of the Beast which is a badge of servitude that makes them merchandise.

Have we lost that liberty granted by God by neglecting our natural and moral responsibility that is correlative to those God given rights?

Eyes full of adultery

Peter made it clear in 2 Peter 2:3, "And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."

Peter not only warned us that desiring benefits at the expense of others would make us human resources what he calls merchandise but he warned us in 2 Peter 2:14 about those covetous practices entangling them back in the yoke of bondage and cursing our children:

"Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:" 2 Peter 2:14

He tells us that the debt of those Divers lust for the benefits of the world at the expense of others would curse our children.

David warned us in Psalms 69:22, "Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap."

And Paul reminded us again in Romans 11:9 that "... David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:"

This stumblingblock was that we would learn to eat at tables set with the bounty of the compelled sacrifices of institutions made by men who called themselves Benefactors that ruled over the people with and exercising authority and is explained in Revelation 2:14 "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."

Proverbs 23 warns us about the table of men who exercise authority one over the other "When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what [is] before thee: And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat."

If the ruler is your Benefactor he will only give you what he takes from others. To desire the Benefits is to Covet and that will change.

What are these benefits today?

Those benefits include everything from Public Schools to Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards which is an electronic system that allows state welfare departments to issue benefits via a magnetically encoded payment card, used in the United States and the United Kingdom like Rome did with their Tesserae of the Beast of Revelation?

Warned

We were told by God in Exodus 20:17 "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s."

Jesus warned us of the evil of covetousness and where it comes from in Mark 7:20-23, "...That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."

These are the things he called us to repent of in Matthew 4:17 when he first "... began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." and in Mark 1:15 when He said "... The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." but warned us in Luke 13:3 that "... except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."

He warned the ministers that systems of Corban like the one they created for their social welfare made the word of God to none effect.

Jesus told us not to look to Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other.

He told us not to pray to Fathers of the earth, but only our Father who is in Heaven.

He told us to keep the commandments including the one about not coveting anything that is our neighbors if we want Eternal life. And when 1 John 2 talked about the "propitiation for our sins", he reminded us that "... hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked."

Real Christians would not desire the benefits of men who call themselves Benefactors nor pray to the Fathers of the earth like Modern Christians do. They would be led to gather together in a living Network that provided a Daily ministration of Charity for one another according to the Perfect law of liberty. They would strive to keep His commandments by being Doers of His word in a Living Network of Love.

Israel in the Bondage of Egypt were literally employed by the Pharaoh who provided free bread like the Romans in the form of Public Welfare which was Public religion. They had to pay their tale of bricks to the Pharaoh but learn to glean in the field at night to obtain their benefits. This is why God hardened the heart of the Pharaoh during the plagues so they could learn The Way of God. So it was not enough to stop taking the benefits, but they needed to learn to provide them by faith, hope and charity through a system of Corban that made the word of God to effect.

Jesus said nothing different to the early Church. When he said give to Caesar what is Caesar and to God what is God's he was saying pay your tale of bricks. He even warned to be friends with the unrighteous Mammon explaining that it would fail. Those who cheat one master you will likely cheat the next.[27]

We are in bondage because of Covetous Practices and Slothfulness. We are devoured because we or our natural parents took bites out of one another in these Covetous Practices which made us a Surety for debt in an unrighteous Mammon... We must Repent and seek the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.

Where and what is true Christian fellowship?
Where and what is the true Eucharist of Christ?
Where and what is the Living Network of the faithful?
Where and what is the Communion of Saints?
Where and how do the people practice Pure Religion?
Where and who are the people that attend to the Weightier matters?
