it is to point out the type of deception at hand, and warn of that yet to come.\u00a0 The word \u201creform\u201d itself is a giant tipoff!\u00a0 When YHVH uses the word \u201cabomination\u201d to describe a system of dishonest weights and measures, and even the Constitution talks only about \u201ccoining\u201d money from gold and silver, it should be obvious that we are now reaping what was sown.\u00a0 False witness, fraudulent \u2018contracts\u2019, and fake \u2018money\u2019, can NEVER\u00a0be \u201creformed\u201d without FIRST turning away from the sin!\u00a0 And the initial step in <em>t\u2019shuvah<\/em>, or \u201crepentance\u201d, is to admit the wrong \u2014 not to reward evil with even greater power.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the \u201cbanksters of Wall Street\u201d are corrupt, and suckle at the teat of the Almighty State while weilding\u00a0the money\u00a0power to their own advantage.\u00a0 People are rightly angry at the fraud they see.\u00a0 But they are being manipulated when they allow that emotion to be used to sell them on an even greater Evil, by the same sets of people, sowing the same seeds.<\/p>\n<p>As I wrote this column, and considered the succinct command to \u201c<em>not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another<\/em>\u201d (Lev. 19:11) it occurred to me once again that there is a great similarity between what has happened to the Constitution, and the Torah it was based upon:\u00a0 the Written Word, the Written Law, has once again been supplanted by the \u2018traditions of men\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Politicians, bureaucrats, and bankers have simply replaced the\u00a0old Pharisees and their temple-based money changers.<\/p>\n<p>Even the deceptions are the same.\u00a0 The \u201cNew\u201d has again <em>replaced<\/em> the Old, which\u00a0has been claimed to be\u00a0\u201ddone away with\u201d.\u00a0 God\u2019s \u201cteaching and instruction\u201d just isn\u2019t good enough, after all, in a \u201cmodern\u201d world.\u00a0 We cannot trust in Him, or His Word, but only in\u00a0men who promise to do better next time.<\/p>\n<p>And those who MAKE the regulations, print the money, and enforce their judgments\u00a0\u2013 of course \u2014 are not \u201cunder the Law\u201d anyway.<\/p>\n<p>The Foundations, in other words, don\u2019t matter any more.\u00a0 We have a \u201cliving\u201d Constitution, and a \u201cliving word\u201d now;
