Brethren, as we watch the news nowadays, and it doesn't take us long to see that we are on the verge of a serious economic crisis around the world. We see the problems in Greece. They're just getting worse and worse. Every time they get together, the European Union comes up with some recommendations which are not followed, or are followed but not correctly, or not all the way. Anyway, those austerity measures cause certain social unrest. The danger is there, of it spreading to Italy, spreading to Spain. I heard this last week that also India is now having some troubles, not to the same degree, but it's just the decrease in the growth of GDP has gone down considerably. You and I heard, I think it was Friday, the employment rate in the United States did not look good. The market took another 250 points down on Friday, and it's just we are on the thresholds of some severe economic crisis. I'll put it as the word throws of severe economic crisis. Interestingly enough, I looked at the meaning of the word throws, and it actually means in the violent agony before a major crisis. So, it's a very interesting word. I haven't thought of it that way. I thought it just on the verge, but it actually means that agony or lack just before childhood. And in other words, the crisis is going to happen, but it's there. Financial leaders are trying to resolve problems, but we know they're not going to resolve. We know Christ said, I'm not going to turn there, but he said in the parable, in one of the parables in Luke 16 verse 9, he said, when the money falls, when it crashes, it doesn't say if it crashes. It says when it's going to fail. It will fail. We hear of serious problems that will happen. We can read it in Revelation 1817. There will be a major financial crisis. And we can read also in Ezekiel 7, 19. There will be a time when they will throw the gold in the streets. Gold will be like nothing. Gold and silver will be throwing the streets. So even gold, some people are thinking that's the way to go, they'll throw it in the streets. So we are on the verge of some really serious times. There would not be, if it would not be, for God's merciful intervention, we all would have at the end of the world. It will be at the end of the world, not just because of the economic, but because of many other things that are all climaxing at the same time. But talking about the angle of economic situation, financial situation, how will Jesus Christ, how will God, solve these problems in the world tomorrow? Because we're still dealing with human nature. So given the background of today's world and its financial problems that we are encountering and seeing around us, it is fitting for us to spend a little time and look at some key, basic concepts of economic reform, which will result in economic stability, which will be sustained over the years. And therefore, let's look at how God will do that.

But in first place, what is for the main reason or one of the main reasons of our current economic politics? And you can say, oh well, it's been unwise spending. In 2008, you know, it was all these unwise home loans which surfaced then. And also, you can say, oh well, it's monumental amounts of debt. Debt. I mean, the whole society is encouraging. I mean, I receive, I don't know how many letters a week. I don't know about you, but how many letters I get every week encouraging me to get another career at a college. I mean, it's just, it's all debt. Debt, debt, get more into it. You know, spend away from the crisis. Get, spend more money so we get out of the crisis, kind of the thinking. But it's not just people, it's banks, it's countries. That's what Greece and other countries have just been troubled. It's countries. And you know, it's like a large sinking ship. Have you ever watched the sinking ship? Maybe you've seen a movie and you've seen about panic or whatever it is, but it creates like a vortex. When that ship goes down, it creates a vortex and sucks everything down with it. That will be the calamity that we'll see when, when the world's economic system will sink. It will be like a sinking ship that will suck everything down with it like the water. It's friendly. But the question is still, what is the underlying cause? There are underlying causes, plain and simply human nature. Human nature stirred and instigated by Satan. Put it in other words, it's greed and deceit. Greed and deceit, which is basically what is driving all these problems. So, to address the problems in the world tomorrow, the very first thing God will do through Christ is to change human nature. That is crucial and key and basic to the changes that we will see that God will bring so that the economic world problems, and not just economic, all the world problems, but we're talking about economic today. How God will solve his first point is to change human nature. Now, as we heard in the first split sermon, we heard a number of good points about God's obvious. And I want to look at God's obvious very briefly as well from the angle of how God will solve the problem of human nature. For instance, the spring holidays, spring and just in silence for the dead, but the possible very first place represents Christ as our Lord delivering us from the bondage of sin. Right. Then the next step is that we need with Christ's help to put out sin of our lives, which represents the days of under the bread, completely out of our lives. That's why I say it. And then we need God's only Spirit, the symbol of Pentecost, which is we need the Spirit to help us replace the human nature with the nature of God, with the bondage. So the spring holidays have, let's put it this way, an individual focus, which is where it must begin. An individual focus, which is we need Christ as the Savior. Then we need to do our part, and then we need the help of God's only Spirit. And that's our individual, let's call it responsibility, to with God's help with the Spirit to change human nature from human to divine. That's what it is, little by little, as we heard in the first split sermon. Then we need to look at the fall holiness. The fall holiness has a similar pattern, think about it, but it is of a national and an international scope, not of an individual scope, but a national and international. For its trumpets, which again is Jesus Christ, our King, to deliver mankind from the bondage of the sword. Then a tournament, which is the putting away the instigator of sin, which is Satan.

And obviously the high priest in doing all that for us. And then the Peace of Tabernacles and the H.J., which is the need of Jesus Christ with His saints to replace man's government on earth, with God's government on earth.

So we can see the spring holidays being at an individual level, these three stages, and similar type of three levels of stages, but at a national and international level. Christ on one side, the Lord as the Savior, which is what the word Jesus means, Savior. And on the other side, Christ as the King, the Messiah, the anointed one, which is what the word Christ means, Jesus Christ, right? Savior and Messiah. The spring and the fall holiday events. One is the Passover and the other one is the Trumpets. Then we have the days of unleavened bread, to put in a way of sin, and the day of a tournament, to put in a way of Satan, the Istigator of sin. And then we have to pay the cost, the need of God's Holy Spirit to replace human nature with the Divine nature individually. Whilst at the national and international level, we need Jesus Christ's ruling and the science under him to actually replace the human government with God's God. So we see some similarities there. But a key factor in there is a change of human nature. It's a change of human nature, individually and collectively, for everybody. So let's turn with me first place, is in Romans 8, Chapter 7. Romans 8. We read there a little earlier on today, Mr. Adams, but I just want to look at the different scriptures here on Romans 8 verse 7.

A scripture that we've read many times and basically says, because the carnal mind is enmity against God. The carnal mind, the mind that is driven by plain carnality. You know what's human nature? Human nature. And it says, is enmity against God. But it is not subject to the Lord God, nor indeed can be. The New International Version puts it this way, the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.

And that is human nature. There is the carnal mind. There is the mind when it's left going the way it is, and it is instigated, motivated, stirred up, quote-unquote, encouraged by Satan. The power of evil. And that's what's happening. And we need a change of human nature. Now, it's easy to say, well, change of human nature will solve all the problems, but let's look at it specifically from a financial or economic point of view. Turn with me to Matthew 6 verse 24. Matthew 6 verse 24.

Here is one example of a mind that is changed from a carnal focused mind to a spirit focused mind. In Matthew 6 verse 24, it gives you an example. No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. You cannot serve God and money.

A mind that is driven by God's early spirit, a nature which is changed to God's nature, is one that is motivated to please and to serve God first. It's a question of priority. A priority is God. God is first, and therefore it will be a mind that will have a different set of priorities. And with that set of priorities, then it goes on in verse 25 and others. Not to worry. It doesn't say don't work and don't do anything about it, but it says don't take anxious care of the other things because God knows you need them.

It's really an act of faith that you say you put God first, and then all the other things will come right. Seek God, seek His kingdom, and His righteousness, and all the other things will come right. Let's look at that set of priorities in Philippians chapter 4. Philippians 4, verse 11 and 12.

It says the following, Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am to be contact. I have learned, again, tiring beautifully of the previous message of the sermon, that it's little by little. We learn. We don't learn everything just like this. It takes time, but little by little, we have empowered and we learn to be contact and to trust in God with what we have.

It's not easy, but it's a learning process. I have learned in whatever state I am to be contact. I know how to be a base and how to be out of doubt. Everywhere and in all things, I've learned both to be full and to be 100. Both to a doubt and to self. He has learned a different set of priorities. That he puts God first and whatever situation he is, or whatever situation you and I are, we mean to be contact, to be happy. It doesn't mean that now, before, we're not going to do our part and do work. I'm not saying that, but from an economic point of view, the change of nature means a change of priorities in the way we look at things, the way we look at life, the way we look at matter.

Very much in mind, I'm the way, the truth. It's that principle that God shows us. It's a whole new way of being, of acting. There's another scripture here in Hebrews 13. Hebrews 13, verse 5. We have read the scripture probably many times, but look at it in the context of money, because it actually, in a sense, is talking in that context of money. Hebrews 13, verse 5, says, let your conduct be without covetousness.

In other words, you're not coveting for money. Be content with such things as you have. So it's a whole issue of contentment with what you have. So the context here is being content with your, let's call it, financial situation, in the position that you are. And then it says, for me, in self-sense, I'll never leave you nor forsake you. Now, we have read, I'll never leave or forsake you, but the reason why I'm saying that is because we must be without covetousness.

We must be content. In other words, trust God. Because He's not going to leave or forsake us. That's it. That's hard. That's hard, particularly when we in difficult times. It is hard. I'm not saying it's not hard. We all have gone through that one way or another in the two ways. So imagine when the mind's set, not just of one or two of the people individually around the world, like little grains of salt, like you and I are supposed to be, just grains of salt, one year and one day.

We're very few. Yes, we are. We just like the salt of the world, but just a few. But imagine when the whole world, in the wonderful world tomorrow, when God works with the whole of mankind, and the whole of mankind has this new mindset. How will that affect the world economy?

I mean, people will be honest. People won't be lied. They won't be in a screed. What a change! That is key number one for solving the world's economic problems. God with His Spirit can't do it. He's doing it in you and I. He's doing it in us. Little by little. Yes, little by little. But He's doing it in us.

And He will do it in all mankind, because Christ will be moving on earth with His sense, which means you and I convert it into Spirit beings, transformed, changed, with the power of God with us, with that immortality, encouraging and coaching the whole of mankind. It will be possible. So imagine the impact of that one change alone being worldwide. So to really resolve the problems, that is the crux of the problem. Greed, and the human nature of greed, and that being addressed, that will have life. It's all life. 80% of the time. But there are a number of other laws that God will also implement in the world tomorrow. And let's look at some additional laws, additional things, specific things that God will implement in the world tomorrow, which will have a direct financial, economic impact in society. And it is encouraging for us to look at these things, because we need to have a hope. Because when these things will happen, we have to have a hope to anchor ourselves onto them. And so we must not hope on mankind, or on this government, or on that government, or on this party, or that party. Our hope is God's kingdom, not any political entity in this world. The moment we get involved into it, we have the wrong focus. We've got to focus in God, and in God's kingdom, it's our only hope. So let's look at another law, which is in the Pteronomy. But I'm not going to turn to the Pteronomy, I'm going to turn to Acts, so that people don't say, oh well, it's just looking at Old Testament. I'm going to look at a lot of Old Testament, but I'm going to look at this one in the New Testament in Matthew 17, which is a re-accuration of a law which is in the Pentateuch. Acts 17 verse 26.

Acts 17 verse 26, and it says, And he is made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on the face of the good. So whatever nation, whatever ethnic group, whatever racial group, we're all from one blood. We're all from Adam and Eve's bloodstone. Sure, they're different blood types, but all from one blood. So we're all from one blood. So God is made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all of the face of the earth, and as determined, there are pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellers. God has determined national and international boundaries for nations. That's what it means. And when God's kingdom is established on earth, Christ will dictate, this is your land and this is your land. So there'll be no war between Mexico and Texas or whatever he's saying, where is the border? Like you heard now some people saying, oh well, we didn't come across as the border that moved or whatever it was. It's amazing! I know, I know! It's what they say, you know? But you hear of a lot of wars between different nations, which are territorial, fights for territory. I mean, you heard many years ago, people have already forgotten, but who knows? My problem again, the war in the Balkans, the island of Balkans, as Argentina was British, and then there's wars in territory between India and Pakistan, you know? Where is it? And how many wars are actually territorial? Now, that will be resolved because God is totally fit and he loves all of mankind because he made him all of one, same blood. And he understands what kind of geographic conditions are best suited for a healthy, successful, and joyful group of people, of whatever nation they are.

And therefore, we will advocate in territory. So, in the first place, there will be land boundaries. And once you have land and you own land, land is valid. Land is valid. But not only at a national level, at individual levels, there will be land allocated to people. For instance, turn with me to market chapter four verse four. Market four verse four. Market four verse four.

Non-market four verse four. And it says, let's just read the first part here, that everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid.

In other words, there will be ownership of land. People will add land and they'll add their own land. So, land will be allocated to certain family groups and people will add land. And no one, Sisya, shall make them afraid. In other words, the one piece is, oh, that land is more prosperous than mine. I want that land and that land belongs to me, so I'll let them take it. And therefore, land claims. There won't be land claims. It says, well, this land belongs to me because it belonged to my ancestors or my ancestors, Lutia or whatever it is. I mean, I've seen it in various countries where farmers are losing land because people go there and just take the land. It's not just, I mean, I can mention countries, but it's not just in Africa, in South America as well. I've seen it. I've experienced it. And the point is, people buy land and then the land is taken from them. There's land claims and there's people are unhappy and then the land is not looked after and things like that. So there's a whole definition. So people will have their own land. So there'll be national boundaries, there'll be family boundaries, and they'll be respected. And there'll be peace and harmony amongst those people. Turn with me to Zechariah chapter 3, where we see there will be peace and harmony. Zechariah chapter 3, verse 10. Zechariah 3, verse 10. It says, in that day, says the Lord of hosts, everyone will invite his neighbor under his vine and under his victory. So the people will be inviting their neighbors. So number one, the neighbors are not trying to steal their land. What's wrong? There'll be peace and harmony between you and your neighbor to come and share and live in peace and happiness. So what we have is, we could say, if I was a politician, that this is a campaign promise.

But it's not, because what we are going to see is the greatest land reform program ever in history. Now, how is that possible? How is that possible?

So people who have their own land, now land is money, is value, is valuable. People have their own land. So that's an important point from an economic point of view. But now I want to look at a different point that combines that with the land. And that is a prophecy in Isaiah 35 verse 1. Isaiah 35 verse 1.

It says, the wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as a rose. So the land that you will have will blossom. The land will will then have water. The desert will have water. And rose will grow in it. Now, rose is a delicate plant. And for it to be growing in a desert means that it's got the right amount of water and all those things. Now, think about it. Do you know how much desert is there in the earth today?

I did a bit of a Google search, and I found, amazing to find in Google, 13 million square miles of desert on the earth. Now, that does not mean a lot to you or to me. I don't mean in quantity. I mean, I don't grasp what that is. So I said, what is the size of the United States? Not just continental, but Alaska and Hawaii, the whole size of the United States. Well, it's 3.5 million square miles. Now, the deserts around the world are 13 million square miles. That's four times bigger than the whole of continental and Alaska, USA. There is desert and desert and waste, and where they can't plant, they can't grow it. Now, if it says that the wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad, and the desert shall rejoice and blossoms arose.

Now, I would say that whole portion will blossom and erupt, not just one percent of it, or 10 percent of it, or 15 percent, that whole area. So I said, okay, what portion of the United States is arable? I mean, the United States is 3.5 million square miles. What portion of it is arable? Well, 19 percent, one-nine of the United States is arable. I'm saying they are, but it is arable. Now, it is a big blessing, because I looked at another country, it's an Arab industry. I looked at Brazil. Brazil is also a very big country. Only seven percent of Brazil is arable.

Now, it just shows that God blessed Israel with a land that is very arable, that you can plant a lot. It's a blessing to Israel, that other countries don't have in proportion, because, you know, it's less than half of the land that is arable. But now consider, when all countries will blossom and grow even land that is not arable, now becomes arable, and deserts become arable, and all that, what a blessing will be on earth! What an economic blessing that will be! Now, how's that possible? Can I move me to the verdict is 26. The verdict is 26. It's his blessings and curses, and it's of course mentioned again in this good sermon. It just shows our God, when we obey God, he blesses us. And the verdict is 26. It's a very significant prophecy. The verdict is 26. Now, I just turned to the Ptolemy 28. I just turned one to Ptolemy 21. Ptolemy 26, the Ptolemy 28 is similar to his things, but the verdict is 26 says, starting in verse 3, if you walk in my statues and keep on commanding this and perform them. You know, it's just sort of opaliedom, it's actually performed them, and it is kind of, it is more to it, as it was already in the first message. But it says, your threshing shall lost till the time of vintage.

And the vintage shall lost till the time of sowing. So, one opaliedom, so you're reaping off the wheat and all that and working and separating that. Then you have the time of the vintage of the grapes and all that, and then, or the time of taking all those fruits, and then that will run onto the time of sowing, or you've got a plum. So, one runs onto the other because it's so precious. And you show each of your bread to the food, and the well in your land safely. So again, safety is tied in with this dressing of the land, that you dwell in the land safely, and you live in their safety. So the two go hand in hand, interestingly enough, and then continue reading in verse 6. I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make your threat. You will make your threat. All read, all read the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go to your land.

So, look at what we have. We have peace. We have beasts. And you say, well, what do you mean, these little bugs that eat fruit away, and you're not going to have to have insecticides for this. It says those beasts will not be there. So you are having... So what are you going to have? You're going to have a key factor here, which I read over, which is in verse 4. Then I'll give you rain in this season. And the land shall be of its produce, and the trees of the field shall be of its produce. Rain in this season. It's not just rain, but it's rain in this season. I mean, you can have rain, and it can be a disaster. Or no rain, it's also a disaster. But rain in the right balance, the right time, that is a blessing. And so what you're going to have is people that are of bangar. And because of that, God will bless them. We'll give them rain in the season.

You know, showers of blessings, literally showers of blessings, across the whole world. You want to have all these tornadoes and all this turmoil. It's just rain in the season. The weather will be nicely controlled, nice, calm. Why? Because God's in control, and the nations are of bangar. And therefore, we'll have good food. Food will be organic. No GMOs. No GMOs.

Why? Because God will intervene. God will bring that special water that will come out from the temple, and that will heal the world's waters around the world, and will change all these GMO stuff, genetically modified stuff, into good, healthy, organic stuff. And because everybody will have their land, and everybody's land is prospering and people are obeying because that nature is being changed, and Satan is not there stirring things up. There's no greed. There's no land claims. There's no farm land claims. There's land ownership, and the food is healthy and abundant and organic. So, there will be a license for a healthy, healthy economy. And if you have food, and you are content, and yes, there'll be other things as well. There'll be other production, but if people are content and they're not, they're not really trying to take somebody else's things, so they live in peace. There's no war destruction. Isn't that a major economic change to the world? Isn't that a way of resolving the world's economic problems? And I've only mentioned to you three. Change of human nature, land ownership and national boundaries, and good food production being increased around the world so that the deserts will blossom like a rose. But there are others. There are others that God will intervene.

There will be a question that people will be asking. When you talk about this, and in this economic growth, if you're an economist, you say, well, there's economic growth and this thing is growing, economic is growing, the economy is growing. What happens? You get what they call a bubble, and the bubble bursts, and you've got a big recession.

There's an economist, quite a few years ago, from 1892 to 1938, a nickelized, contraindive. He stated that capitalist economies, and it was economies driven around basically man, displayed long wave cycles of going up and down in the region of every 50 to 60 years in the region. So, in God's economic program, there will not be a bubble burst. Do you know why? Because God will bring into his plan a 50-year economic cycle called the Jubilee.

And let's read about that in Leviticus 25. So, just one page or so of that from where you are, Leviticus 25, and let's read in verse 8 to 10. Initial count, seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years. And the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you 49 years. Then you shall call the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the day of the tournament, you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. And you shall consecrate the thirtieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family. So, what we have is every 30 years we'll have a national and international economic reset. Back to zero. All debt gone too. No buyouts, no seven hundred billion dollars, buyouts, nothing, all jupy, reset. And people today or professors are possible, but it'll be possible. Let's just jump a few. Let's read the act in verse 13. In this year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession. So, if there is somebody that got into trouble, financial trouble, and they sold their assets, and once they sold, they're out of the family. They're gone.

Now, the children have to struggle because they're going to start with nothing. Every 50 years, those assets go back to the family. So, those children's children will be able to start from a sound place again. We won't have the economic problem cascading and creating a verse. Let's continue reading in verse 23. It says, here, the land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is mine.

The land is God's, and you are strangers and sojourners with me. We are sojourners or strangers in the land. So, God is basically giving us the land. Since this land is for you, but every 50 years, we go back to what God has given, and it's this that we see. And that puts a whole new perspective on real estate buying and selling. Now, if you are in the real estate business, think about how that will be different. And yeah, it will be different. And in fact, it explains how it will be different in verse 14. Let's read 14 through 17. It says, yeah, and if you sell anything to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor's land, neighbor's hand, you shall not oppress one another. According to the number of years after the jubilee, you shall buy from your neighbor. And according to the number of years of crops you shall sell to you. According to the multitude of years, you shall increase its price. And according to the fewer number of years, you shall diminish its price. So if you're down year one after jubilee, you can charge higher because you still got another 49 years to go. So basically, it's a 49-year lease. Now, but if you're down into year 32 after the jubilee, you still got another 18 years or whatever it is, if my match is correct. So you got an 18-year lease. And that's it. So the price will be adjusted accordingly.

You shall diminish its price for itself to your according to the number of years of the crops, 17. Therefore, you shall not oppress one another, but you shall hear your God for I am the Lord, your God. So indeed, there's a whole new perspective in financial dealing, particularly around land and property, a whole different way of looking at it. And so allows for the children to get a great, great financial burdens that maybe were brought by their parents some wrong decisions, not within it, but they just made some wrong decisions in life. And those wrong decisions, instead of propagating from generation to generation, at the end of the jubilee year, everything that's been said. And basically what it means, really, will be liberty from financial slavery.

But really where it is, it's liberty from financial slavery. People will be able to have a new start. And so, there won't be those economic bubbles. And before growth, it's sustainable. Growth is sustainable for years and years and years.

So we have a changing nature. We have people have their own properties in their lands. If they sell it, you know, 30 years, we go back to the family. They'll have rain in due season because they are very large.

But there's one other thing, which is another economic principle that will be in place in all tomorrow. And that is described in Deuteronomy 15.

At the end of every seven years, we shall grant to release the pits. And this is the form of release. Every creditor who has lent anything to his neighbor shall release it. And he shall not require of his neighbor or of his brother because he shall be called the Lord's release. So basically, there'll be loans that will be cleared at the end of seven years.

So you see, a seven-year cycle. It's amazing how seven years to be crossed. Seven is such a number in God's plan. I mean, there's seven days in a week, a Sabbath, a seven-day, seven holy days, seven feasts. There's the land Sabbath that we're not even talking about. There's the other seven years, the year of release. And some people say that every human cell gets replaced in the body after seven years. It's true or not, I do not know, but it is an interesting thing to Google as well. But it's interesting how God puts a lot of things around civil.

So, now we have another key for economic stability in the world tomorrow.

You wouldn't dare to do these things the world today. Just you wouldn't dare to do these things. But with God's government, that will bring stability. So, it's always encouraging to look at it from God's perspective and say, how will the world tomorrow be different? Well, we are something specific that helps us to look forward to that time and to be encouraged. There's another point here, very interesting, is that if you have created a card bet, I mean, it's probably the worst type of debt that you can have. Don't ever get into credit card debt. If you've got credit card, make sure you pay them at the end of the month when you've got to pay them. Because that debt can be in some places in the region of 20-25% or even more. It's exorbitant. When I was working as a financial advisor, I saw some people that had $70,000 in credit card debt. Really, you don't know much. You probably hear me, but just in case, they can't burn you. And to plan for them to get out of it, unless you declare bankruptcy, it's just about impossible.

But look at Psalm 15. Psalm 15.

Psalm 15.

Lord, who may abide in your covenant? Psalm 15. Lord, who may abide in your covenant? Who may dwell in your holy land?

What sort of people will be in God's kingdom? And in fact, in the road towards that, in God's church, in a way that we are, and in fact, in the world tomorrow, they'll be living according to that pattern so that they will be in the tabernacle. And it gives you very examples. But look at verse 5, or one specific thing that that person will do. It says, He who does not put out his money at usury, nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. In other words, imagine a world when you loan money at the great interest rate of zero.

Zero. If you stole it, oh, at the end of seven years, it's a race. You don't have to pay it.

So, people will learn to manage their finances, save money, make wise decisions, because these laws bring a whole different way of managing money into play.

And knowing that at the end of seven years, whatever you've loaned, if it's not paid back, it's gone. But in other words, it's forgiven. And you don't have to have bad record, bankruptcy, or whatever. It's just there, part of the law. So, it brings a whole different concept. Now, obviously, I'm not talking about investments and business things, because there will be things like that. There are many parables that talk about making money grow and multiply, there are other parables. And therefore, there is the Jubilee at the end of 50 years, which looks at a different claim. But I'm talking about personal loans here, where they will be released. So, we're looking at a number of laws that God will bring into place, that will clearly make the world very different economically for people to work. But there's one other law, which is absolutely critical. And that is, like I say, there are certain things that are sure, taxes and debt, and taxes, another law. And in God's kingdom, what will the tax system be like?

You and I know. 10%. You'll be tired. Flat, equal to everybody. I mean, you're not going to have these complex computations of working out tax at the end of the year. It'll be a lot easier, I can assure you, to work that out. A lot easier. Turn with me to Deuteronomy 14.

Deuteronomy 14.

Verse 22. It says, You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year.

You will tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year. A key word is the increase. So if you put 10 down and it grows into 100, the increase is 90.

Now, if the 10 was donated to you, and the increase goes to 100, you increase the 100 because your 10 was donated to you. I've had this in one area I've visited. The people said, No, but all we do is we farm just for us to eat before we don't have to try.

I said, No.

It's the increase. It's not the increase after you've taken out or that increase what you've got to eat.

It's amazing how people reason around things. You know, it's amazing. To me, it's like saying, Well, I go to work and a portion of my salary needs to buy food. Therefore, I subtract that. I don't have the time for that because it's free. I mean, you and I would even consider that. But that's what people are saying when they plant crops and they say, Well, I only farm for subsistence, so I don't have to try.

I'm okay.

No, no, no. So, really, a change in human nature is quite something. Quite something. And there's going to be a lot of cleansing and changing, or ways of thinking of people and interpretations that people have. But you have to tie all the increase of your grain.

Now, look at me with, well, look with me at Leviticus 27. Leviticus 27.

Leviticus 27, verse 30, it says, And all the tithes of the land, whether of the seed of the land or fruit of the tree, is the Lord's. It is holy to the Lord. The tithe belongs to God. It's not yours. It's not mine. It belongs to God. Now, it basically means God has given you the land. God has given you the brain, the mind, the physical health, the capability to work. He's given you all that.

And whatever increase you get, He says you can keep 90%. But the other 10, it belongs to God. If you and I don't do it, what are we doing? We actually are stealing from God. As simple as that, we are stealing from God.

Read also in verse 32. Now, concerning the type of the herd or the flock or whatever passes under the rod, the 10, the 10, the 10, the 10, the 10, the 10, the 10, the 10, the 10, the 10, the 10, the 10th one shall be holy to the Lord. It is God. As simple as that, it is God.

And so, if you and I don't die, we are stealing from God.

And I'm not making it up. You can read that in Malachi 3, verse 8. Malachi 3, verse 8.

The last book of the Old Testament, Malachi 3, verse 8. It says, Will the man rob God?

Yet you brought me. But you say, What way have we robbed you? And God answers in times and hours.

You are cursed with a curse. For you have robbed me, even this old nation, bring all the times into the storehouse that they may be footing my house, and try me now on this. Test me. Prove God. Put God to the test. That's what God's saying. Put God to the test. I know it's hard. Put God to the test. If I will not open for you in the windows of heaven, and I'll pour out for you such a blessing, that there will not be room enough to receive it.

What God's saying that's there, doesn't just have to be physical. It can be a blessing in many ways. Lessons of health, lessons of peace of mind. It can be in many ways. God can give us blessings. It does not have to be money. It can be in many ways. God can give us many blessings.

But nations today, I can't open up.

Nations are the supreme God. They're not getting ready in a season. They're financially cursed. That's what it is. They're financially cursed. And it's trouble.

So brethren, I've given you a few points here, which are purely a tip of the asker, just to help you understand that God is not going to wave a magic wand and suck everything sorted out. God expects us to do our part. You'll come. You'll come through. You'll give us the Holy Spirit. We have to overcome. We have to change. We have to change our human nature to God's nature, to divine nature. But you'll also give us land. And as we obey Him, you'll give us rain in the new season. The food production will increase. There'll be an economic reset every 50 years with the Jubilee. There'll be clearing of debts every seven years. Personal loans will be at an interest rate of zero. And there'll be a flat, quote-unquote, tax system, which will be called TIE, for everybody, fair and equal to all.

President, there's going to be economic stability in the world tomorrow. However, before that, there's going to be a great crisis. But I wanted to give you a little bit of a clear understanding of the hope that it will be established when Christ comes back, because there will be a solution, and God will solve the problems for us. And that will be expected to do our part. Let us all look for the wonderful world tomorrow, when God will bring peace and stability to this world, because we really need it soon.
