Jesus driving the moneychangers from the Temple by El Greco. Jesus began his 3
1/2 year ministry in Jerusalem by driving the corrupt moneychangers from the
Temple. He also ended His ministry by attacking the same thieves. It was the
only time that the Lord used force during his earthly life.
"And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.And found in
the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money
sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of
the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and
overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things
hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise" (John 2:13-16).

"Oppresses the poor and needy, commits robbery, does not restore the pledge,
lifts up his eyes to the idols, commits abomination, lends at interest, and
takes increase; shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these
abominable things; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon himself
"(Ezekiel 18:12-13). Revised Standard Version. MONEY is the lifeblood of
civilization and USURY is the poison that kills it just like vaccination poisons
human blood!!

Definition of terms for this exposé.
Usury in English:
From the Latin usuria means demanding in return for a loan a greater amount than
was borrowed. Interest:
From the Latin interess it is a legal term for usury when it is sanctioned by
law or made lawful by government decree. Usury in Hebrew:
Nashak means to strike with a sting as a serpent, to oppress with interest on a
loan. Usury in Greek:

Tokos means to give birth or bring forth. Aristotle said that money was barren
and gave birth to nothing.

Money in Hebrew:
Keceph means silver. Money in Greek:
Arguros means shining or silver. (1) Stranger in Hebrew
(Ger) sojourner
(a) a temporary inhabitant, a newcomer lacking inherited rights,
(b) of foreigners in Israel, though conceded rights. (2) Stranger in Hebrew
(Nokriy) foreign, alien
(a) foreign,
(b) foreigner,
(c) foreign woman, harlot
(d) unknown, unfamiliar
"When money is lent on a contract to receive not only the principal sum again,
but also an increase by way of compensation for the use, the increase is called
interest by those whothink it lawful, and usury by those who do not"
(Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, p. 1336).
Interest is legalized USURY as long as it is done in MODERATION....Govermental
decrees fix the maximum interest rates and anything above that is considered
USURY. That is like a governmental decree that makes stealing legal as long as
it is done in MODERATION and then calling it borrowing or acquiring or some less
offensive term.

Nachash is the Hebrew word for SERPENT from which nashak the word for usury is
derived. There was no specific Hebrew word for money as silver was considered
money.

The Law of Moses strictly prohibited usury
"If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be
to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury "(Exodus 22:25).
"Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for
increase" (Lev. 25:37). "Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of
money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury "(Deut.
23:19). "He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against
the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved" (PS. 15:5).

Usury is condemned in the Bible; usury was condemned among pagan nations and
usury was condemned by the early church.

The moneychangers HATED the word USURY and they tried to drive it out of the
dictionary. Here is their modern definition of USURY:
1.The practice of lending money and charging the borrower interest, especially
at an exorbitant or illegally high rate.
2.An excessive or illegally high rate of interest charged on borrowed money.
3. Archaic or obsolete. Interest charged or paid on a loan.
Interest on loans is condemned in modernbibles!!
The fact of the moneychangers driving usury out of the dictionary presented a
monumental problem for the modern "bible" translators:
New International Version
"If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not be like a
moneylender; charge him no interest" (Exodus 22:25). Revised Standard Version
"You must not lend him money at interest or sell him food at a profit "(Lev.
25:37). Revised Standard Version
"You shall not lend upon interest to your brother, interest on money, interest
on victuals, interest on anything that is lent for interest"(Deut. 23:19).
Revised Standard Version
"Who does not put out his money at interest, and does not take a bribe against
the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved "(PS. 15:5).

The Revised Standard Version is the approved Roman Catholic translation.
Usury was condemned by the early Congregation, and even the Council of Nicaea
which was presided over by Pope Constantine, issued a sanction against it:
"Finally there followed the prescription of twenty canons or rules of
discipline:
(17) prohibition of usury among the clergy; " (First Council of Nicaea).
The Vatican invented "Jews" as a smokescreen for usury
Since usury was prohibited by the early church this left the money loving
Vatican in a terrible dilemma. Officially they condemned usury in the most
stringent terms, but behind the scenes they found a way to circumvent it. Their
answer was to invent Jews and use them as a smokescreen for their money lending.
This way the popes could continue to act pious and let theJews take the rap for
the loan sharking.
Finding fake Jews was no problem for Rome. Centuries before Christ, the
Samaritans were pretending to beJews. One of the most infamous Samaritans was
Simon the Sorcerer, who tried to buy the Holy Spirit from St. Peter. This Simon
later went to Rome, and was the actual founder of what later evolved into Roman
Catholicism.

God permitted usury to destroy the Canaanites!!
In the Old Testament, Moses mentions one case in which usury was permitted:
"Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of
victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
Unto a stranger (Nokriy) thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou
shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou
settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it "(Deuteronomy
23:19-20).
Since usury was forbidden to strangers, we must look closely at the Scriptures
to see what Moses is talking about:
"One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger (Ger) that
sojourneth among you "(Exodus 12:49). "Ye shall have one manner of law, as well
for the stranger (Ger), as for one of your own country: for I am the Lord "(Lev.
24:22). "Thou shalt neither vex a stranger (Ger), now oppress him: for ye were
strangers in the land of Egypt "(Exodus 22: 21).

Scripture does not contradict Scripture and the answer is very simple. Satan
raised up 7 utterly corrupt nations ofGIANTS called Canaanites that barred the
way to the Promised Land. Joshua was told to make war and utterly destroy them.
This war went on for centuries, until they were finally destroyed at the time of
King David (1000 B.C.). These nations were the strangers that Moses permitted
the Israelites to exact usury. Usury was economic warfare to pauperize and
destroy their economy, so that they could not afford to wage war against the
Israelites:
"Who were these "foreigners", and why was Israel permitted to exact usury from
them if usury was unlawful? It was understood from ancient times that this
permission related specifically to the conquest of the promised land. Usury was
part of the violence that Israel inflicted upon the wicked people whom God was
driving out before them. God had told Israel that the conquest would encompass a
length of time. Exodus 23:29-30, "I will not drive them out before you in a
single year, that the land may not become desolate, and the beasts of the field
become too numerous for you. I will drive them out before you little by little,
until you become fruitful and take possession of the land." The oppression of
usury was an effective means of keeping the Canaanites under check until they
had been totally conquered. In this case, usury was an instrument of God's
judgment upon a wicked people "(Mooney, Usury: Destroyer of Nations).
Saint Martin Luther and all the German Reformers condemned usury
"Besides such necessary ecclesiastical affairs, there would be also in the
political estate innumerable matters of great importance to improve. There is
the disagreement between the princes and the states; usury and avarice have
burst in like a flood, and have become lawful [are defended with a show of
right]; wantonness, lewdness, extravagance in dress, gluttony, gambling, idle
display, with all kinds of bad habits and wickedness, insubordination of
subjects, of domestics and laborers of every trade, also the exactions . . . "
)(The Smalcald Articles of Christian Doctrine, by Dr. Martin Luther).

The Heidelberg Catechism on the 8th Commandment
Question: What does God forbid by the 8th Commandment -- "thou shalt not steal"?
Answer: God forbids not only those [a] thefts, and [b] robberies, which are
punishable by the magistrate; but he comprehends under the name of theft all
wicked tricks and devices, whereby we design to [c] appropriate to ourselves the
goods which belong to our neighbor: whether it be by force, or under the
appearance of right, as by unjust [d] weights, ells, [e] measures, fraudulent
merchandise, false coins, [f] usury, or by any other way forbidden by God; as
also all [g] covetousness, all abuse and waste of his gifts "(The Heidelberg
Catechism).
The Swiss Guard the Vatican's gold and silver
The Reformation was playing havoc with the Vatican's wealth and her illegal gain
through usury. Luther attacked the pope and the bellies of the monks. Something
had to be done to stop this hemorrhage. It was about that time that a champion
appeared to save usury and the pope's revenues. His name was John Calvin.
John Calvin was a French Roman Catholicconvert to Protestantism. In the year
1534, at the young age of 25, Calvin started writing his famous Institutes of
the Christian Religion. Like Ignatius LIEola he was arrested by the Inquisition
in France, but managed to escape and finally ended up in Geneva, Switzerland, in
the year 1536.
Calvin also wrote commentaries on all the books of the Bible—EXCEPT the Book of
Revelation....Here is a small sample of the pro usury writings of this
double-minded man:
John Calvin (1509 -1564).
His headquarters was Geneva, Switzerland where he defended usury in his
writings. "But if we would form an equitable judgment, reason does not suffer
us to admit that all usury is to be condemned without exception "(Calvin's
Commentaries on Exodus 22:25).
"Whence it follows, that the gain which he who lends his money upon interest
acquires, without doing injury to any one, is not to be included under the head
of unlawful usury" (Calvin's Commentaries on Psalm 15:5).
"David mentions, among other things -- who has not lent his money on usury,
(Psalm 15:5.) It seems, then, from these two places, that usury is in itself
unlawful. But because God's law embraces complete and perfect justice, hence we
must hold that interest, unless it is opposed to God's law, is not altogether to
be condemned, otherwise ignominy would clearly attach to the law of God if it
did not prescribe to us a true and complete rule of living justly "(Calvin's
Commentaries on Ezekiel 18:8).

John Calvin, a Roman dupe, traveled to Geneva Switzerland and started to write
pro usury commentaries in order toguard the pope's usury revenues. He is a hero
of millions of Protestants who follow his 5 points of Calvinism regarding
predestination, election etc., etc.

The U.S. Constitution gave us sound Biblical money
The founders of the U.S. gave the people real money of silver and gold. In the
Coinage Act of 1792, the basic unit of currency was the dollar and the dollar
was defined as 3711/4 grains of fine silver. That much silver was to constitute
a dollar. Each dollar was a unit. All other money was to be counted from this
unit of a silver dollar. Hence dimes, quarters and half dollars were fractional
parts of the dollar.
Gold was made money by measuring it from this basic unit of a silver dollar. The
ratio was fixed at 15 to I, and in 1834 the ratio was fixed at 16 to 1. This was
the law of money up to 1873. The amount of silver in the dollar never changed
during all this time. Silver was considered the money of the people, while gold
was considered the money of the rich.
Free coinage of silver and gold. From 1792 to 1873, the U.S. had free coinage
of silver and gold. That meant that anybody could walk into the U.S. Mint, and
the government would coin their silver or gold into lawful money at the rate of
3711/4 grains of pure silver for each dollar, and 24.75 grains of pure gold to
each gold dollar.
This system was called bimetallism, and the ratio of silver to gold always
seemed to stay the same over the centuries.

In 1873 Silver was assassinated
On Feb. 12, 1873, Congress revised the coinage laws. By a simple stroke of the
pen, silver was assassinated. The U.S. went on a gold standard, and silver was
demonetized except for payments under $5.00. A gold dollar became the unit of
value, and free coinage of silver was ended. Soon after, the entire world
demonetized silve,r and most nations went on a monometallic or gold standard.
England had already demonetized silver in 1816, which paved the way for the gold
standard, and the fake money paper usury system that dominates the world today.
Silve—r the people's money -- was assassinated by a simple stroke of the pen in
1873. Gold— the rich man's money -- was now king.

With half the world's money supply demonetized, gold became an even more
precious commodity, and an item to be hoarded. Tons of it left the United
States. The death of silver led to the fake money or paper system and usury on a
colossal scale.

The Federal Reserve System is usury on a massive scale!!
One Rock dollar. This is not a U.S. dollar -- the Federal Reserve is a private
bank!!
The Federal Reserve System is composed of 12 private banks which create money
out of nothing and then lend it to the U.S. government at usury. It is the most
colossal system of usury and fraud that has ever been invented by that old
serpent the devil. It was founded by Rockefeller in 1913.

In the ancient world, the usurer quickly became owner of most of the country and
had all the silver and gold. Then the peasants became slaves or revolted. Under
the paper system, the final collapse can be postponed by printing more fake
money. Inflation is the handmaid of the paper system. It is economic warfare,
and more deadly than an invading army, because it comes from the enemy within.

Editor's Notes
The Coinage Act of 1792 made the SILVER DOLLAR the UNIT. The UNIT is ONE. All
other coins are measured from this UNIT:
"DOLLARS OR UNITS--each to be of the value of a Spanish milled dollar as the
same is now current, and to contain three hundred and seventy-one grains and
four sixteenth parts of a grain of pure, or four hundred and sixteen grains of
standard silver."
Gold was measured from this SILVER DOLLAR or UNIT:
"EAGLES--each to be of the value of ten dollars or units, and to contain two
hundred and forty-seven grains and four eighths of a grain of pure, or two
hundred and seventy grains of standard gold"
As an excuse for their evil usury, the moneychangers often charge that usury (or
interest as they call it) is essential for a successful economy. Nothing could
be further from the TRUTH. The nation of Israel became the wealthiest in the
ancient world by forbidding usury:
"So king Solomon exceeded ALL the kings of the earth for riches and for
wisdom....And the king made silver (real money ) to be in Jerusalem as
stones....")I Kings 10:23-27).
Abraham, the Father of the Faithful, became a rich man by working and trading .
. . not by being slothful and lazy like the moneylenders and bankers who let
their money work for them:
"And Abraham was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold" (Genesis 13:2).
