Force
The word "force" appears about twenty times in the Bible but in the Old Testament it is translated from many words that appear many different times.
In the New Testament we first see the word force appear in a description concerning John the Baptist.
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."
The kingdom of heaven preached by John required that you take care of the needs of the people of society by freewill offerings which in the new testament was called love and charity.
At that time Herod the Great of Judea had set up a system of welfare run through the temples he built. [1]
Those government systems were funded by the sacrifices of the people who were registered through a network of synagogues.
The system of Corban of the Pharisees was a part of this welfare program which included of forced offerings once you signed up for the benefits of that system.
The funds collected were kept in a central Treasury. [2]
The world of Rome had already set up similar systems of welfare under Augustus Caesar the emperor who was called the "Lord and Savior" because he established a similar welfare system requiring registration with the cult of Rome.
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit[3] the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world.” James 1:27
John the Baptist offered a similar plan of social welfare but without the use of force used to collect the contributions of his people which is so common in the systems of the World.[4] His plan was based on freewill offerings like ancient Israel[5] when it was still a Republic under God.[6] Christ objected to the welfare plan called Corban offered by Herod and the Pharisees[7] not only because it made men rulers over their brothers and weakened the character of the people, and therefore society as a whole, but it also violated the precepts of God found in the Ten Commandments.
These systems of forced offerings used by Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh, Caesar and FDR were the covetous practices that made men merchandise and cursed their children. These systems are based on biting one another and brings whole nations under a yoke of bondage where men who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other become the Fathers of the earth.
Jesus was not a socialist and neither were those who followed him. Jesus took the kingdom of God from the Pharisees, as He said He would do,[8] and appointed it to his Little flock, His Called out. Jesus preached a system of social welfare that operated under the perfect law of liberty which leads to eternal life[9] by faith, hope and charity.[10]
Rulers, like Nimrod and Saul may gain power in many ways, but always resort to the use of force like Cain... to provide the Welfare that snares the people with an appetite for the wages of unrighteousness. The sins of the individual who is engaged in the covetous practices that makes men merchandise and brings the bondage of Egypt is the seed sowed in the mind of the crowd by men like Herod and the Pharisees with their Corban that made the word of God to non effect. The way of Cain and Nimrod which was the way of FDR and LBJ is not The Way of Christ.
The Cain Syndrome
- Genesis 4:15 "And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him."
Cain plowed the earth, specifically the "adamah"[11] which was the living red clay from which Adam was made by God when God breathed His spirit into Adam. God had breathed a spiritual life into that red clay[12] when Adam was given dominion[13].
That life can only be maintained by eating of the tree of life.
Man had been made and put in the garden to Dress it and keep it. To till[14] the earth, the adamah, red clay, means he was to serve[15] the red clay is to control and line up the red clay by the power of force or authority.
The use of force is justified in righteousness but is also a great temptation. When vanity tempts man to go beyond the righteousness of God and oppress others he shall be oppressed.[16] Cain fell to that temptation when he chose to use brute force against his own brother killing him in the "field".
Power has a proclivity if not a tendency to corrupt.[17]
Cain then went out of the presence of the LORD[18] and started the first city state[19] where people were oppressed which was followed by Lamech and Nimrod's Babylon.[20]

Cain as Kuf Yod Nun
The word Cain is from the Hebrew word ןיק (Qayin) which is composed of the letters Kuf Yod Nun and is also translated spear[21] but from a word meaning lament[22]. Kuf Yod also appear in words like Kuf Yod Mem which is the word for statute and decree.[23]
ק KUF or Kof means Omnipresence - Redemption of Fallen Sparks The paradoxical union reish and a zayin holiness
- ז ZAYIN The Service and Valor, cut and bread, war and nourish. [weapon.... Cut to cut off manacle] 7
- ר REISH Process of Clarification The "head" or "beginning." [Head... Person head highest]200
י YUD The Infinite Point of essential good hidden in the tet. [closed hand... Deed work to make]10 נ ן NUN Heir to the Throne Aramaic fish in the mem Heb. nun kingdom. [fish moving... Activity life]50
What does the "paradoxical union reish and a zayin" mean?
There are many who write about A Paradoxical Union of Contradictory Principles such as a Constitutional Democracy. Unfortunately most people do not understand these are contradictory terms. Of course the United States was originally a constitutional Republic which can also be contradictory depending on the nature of the Constitution and the scope of its public authority and even the definition you wish to apply to the word Republic, Plato's or its original meaning as Libera res Publica.
Other unions of Contradictory Principles are found in the case of Jesus' metaphysical teachings such as giving up life to have more life.
In Jewish Mysticism we can find a Doctrine of Coincidentia Oppositorum which includes these same concepts of a unity of opposites. An interdependence and unification of opposites while being opposed to philosophical approaches to understanding it is a common characteristic in mystical thought.
- "The unity of opposites has been contemplated from philosophers like Heraclitus to physicists like Michio Kaku."
- "Einstein sought a unified field theory to explain the mechanics of the universe. a sort of theory of everything. The string theory and what became the super-string theory and an applied geometry of space unifies the multiple super-string theories upon that shared geometrical range of two opposing or contradictory membrane or realm type forces vying for a presence or dominion in the same space. This resulting M theory may not only explain our universe's structure but creates the possibility if not the probability of other parallel universes coexisting to produce the very world we see around us."
- "These theories explain concepts like heaven and hell as parallel realms or places way may be choosing to occupy when we no longer are held by life in this place we now live."Quantum
The idea of some giving up life or liberty so that others may live free has an antitheses in Cain and why he started the first city state and the principles he used to make it work for as long as it did.
With this idea that a paradox creating something that would not exist without the opposing natures of two things, the ק KUF or Kof created by the union reish and a zayin, we must reconcile the difference rather than what they have in common.
The ז ZAYIN has the idea of cut... war... while the letter ר REISH contains the union required with the idea of "head" or "beginning" producing the single letter ק KUF which expresses the idea of Omnipresence and at the same time the Redemption of that which had Fallen.
What we are really seeing here is the need to cast out the disobedient Adam and Eve, cut them off, in order to draw them back to redemption. This principle is as essential as breathing out to make it possible to breathe back into the body anew. The prodigal son could not have learned what it meant to be a son if he was not compelled to leave his father's house to pursue the truth, he finally found out in another place about his Father's love back home.
The letter י YUD is not composed of other letters but is used in other letters like the paradox of the God and Man found in the a א ALEF and the concealed power of possible good found within every individual and the letter ט TET which may be seen in the fruits of their works.
The final letter is the ן NUN which has always been connected to the Heir to a Throne or kingdom. It is the flow or activity of life in one direction or another, toward Rome and Babylon or toward the kingdom of God.
In the word Cain we see the opportunity of freewill, of choice between the throne of God or the thrones of men who would be a god. In the center of our being, within, we must choose which kingdom we will serve. We must choose to consent to the will of the creator, Our Father who art in the dimension or dominion of heaven or those sons of man who have left their Heavenly Father's house, gone out of His Omnipresence, and have become the Fathers of the earth.
The Mark of consent
Even though the word we see as mark is also translated sign(s) 60 times, token(s) 14 times, ensign(s) and miracles twice each, and mark only once people are often trying to figure out what the mark of Cain looks like. Is the author talking about a mark like one you make with a pen or a brand or even a birthmark or does it mean something entirely different?
The word mark is translated from ‘owth or the letters Alef Vav Tav תוא which are the same letters of the word תוא[24] translated consent.
Tav is the letter of faith while Vav often is a letter of division but sometimes connection while Alef is the relationship of God and man. If we change the last letter to the letter Reish which is often connected with authority and rulers. we see the word רוא 0218 which is the word for the city Ur[25] which was the place Abraham and Terra left, the home of the Hammurabi codes.
The word set which we see in the English translation is a primitive root word translated put, make, set, lay, and even appoint and ordain along with a dozen other forms. It is a common word in the Bible appearing over 500 times with definitions ranging from to put, place, set, appoint, to direct, ordain, establish, found, and even constitute.
Add to that the word יתלב which is Beit Lamed Tav Yod or biltiy translated lest here and but, except, save, nothing, lest, no, from, inasmuch, and not in other places.
Was this really a message to all people that if you are snared in a city state under the rule of Cain by consent then you have no right to dissolve the bands which subject you to their rule by violence?
If the rulers get you to consent then their authority is ordained by God. Is this why they offer you benefits obtainable by application because by that acceptance you are considered to have by law consented?
- "Rome was not an anarchy. The once free society which had risen to a state of prominence and power in the Mediterranean with a voluntary welfare system and a locally supported militia eventually became ruled by authoritarian Benefactors which led to tyranny and despotism." Mark of the Beast
Questions
What did Cain have in common with the systems of One purse?
What did these systems have in common with the Corban of the Pharisees?
Why were we to put a knife to our throat if we had an appetite for the wages of unrighteousness?
Do we have the "Mark of Cain"?
Have we chosen to rule over our neighbor and our brothers to obtain benefits by forcing his contribution?
Have we already applied with full consent for the benefits offered to the people who obtain the Mark of the Beast?
References
Genesis 4:15 And the LORD[26] said[27] unto him, Therefore[28] whosoever slayeth[29] Cain[30], vengeance shall be taken[31] on him sevenfold[32] . And the LORD[33] set[34] a mark[35] upon Cain[36], lest[37] any finding[38] him should kill[39] him.
Genesis 4:16 ¶ And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Socialism is the forced distribution of wealth. The power to take from one class of citizens and give to the poor corrupt those who exercise power.
“If Virtue & Knowledge are diffused among the People, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great Security”[40] 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[41] given by God to nothing[42] and their right to judge to confusion.[43]
The gifts of God which set men free[44] come to those who will walk the Way of God.[45]
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[46] and Revelation 22:14.[47] and also in Revelation 18[48] 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.[49]
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.
