Modern Israel
Modern Israel
Yes, the nation or people of Israel or what is often called the Jews has had a presence in the land called Israel for a long time.
As a government it has had its ups and downs. At times it walked in the way of Abraham, the man of faith and even followed Moses, the man sent by God.
Yet, the modern state of Israel as a matter of political policies and practices violates almost every principle of good government as taught by Moses. You may wonder how?
Out of love I will try to write some of the reasons why.
Modern Israel like Modern Christians strayed from the teaching of the prophets while imaging their righteousness and have and may bring degeneration and destruction.
Primary errors
One of the primary errors of societies throughout history and certainly Israel and Judea was the implementation of a welfare system or the tables of rulers which provide gifts, gratuities and benefits through civil powers of the state.
The warnings of Scripture about these dainties of rulers was explicit concerning an appetite for such welfare because it was a snare and a trap to say nothing of the fact it would degenerate the people.
"Legal charity" eroded the "family" becoming accustomed to an appetite for benefits and fed the "sloth" and "avarice" which dimmed the eyes and seared the conscience of the people by replacing the "righteousness" of a "daily ministration" through the practice of "pure Religion" with a "public religion" of a "social welfare" through the power of the State which "exercises authority" instead of the 'fervent charity" Taught by Moses, preached by the prophets, John the Baptist, and found in the "doctrine of Jesus."
Prior error
Even before the replacement of the freewill offerings prescribed by Moses upon his living "Altars" of "adamic clay" and "living Levite stones" there was a return to the bondage of Egypt and the error of the Graven images and precept of a Golden calf which was a central bank with the issuing of unjust weights and measures.
Consitutional oversight
And then there is the matter of governmental forms stipulated in Moses' explanations of what should be layer out in a constitution if the people desire to designate an executive office such as king, president, or priminister.
There are at least five provisions that should be present in any constitution of the people for that government less the people return to a corvee system of statutory servitude to the state like the bondage of Egypt.
If we examine Deuteronomy 17 it should be evident that there should be limitations on the power of government to create institution that would undermine the liberty of the individual or tempt them to rule over their neighbors in a democracy or to engage in the covetous practices that might make them human resources and even curse children or worse cause thr children to no more ought for their parents because of a "corban" like than instituted by Herod and the [[Phariseess]).
