slaves in our own land
What is the big deal about the Federal Reserve being "private", international bankers, and all that jazz?
What does they have to do with anything?
The issue is not every corporation or every bank.
The Federal Reserve is "backed" by international banks and international investors. Every dollar printed in the United States is "backed" by a loan from the Federal Reserve. Every dollar the government spends increases this debt. The collateral for the loans are taxes collected from the American citizens. Your taxes do not go to pay for government services, taxes collected by the IRS go to pay interest on these loans to foreign financiers. When the people cannot pay their taxes, their labor and property is forfeit to pay these debts.
This is how the globalists end up owning and controlling American citizens.
We become slaves in our own land to a foreign power.
This is not without precedent. We have ample warning of this from scripture.
While nothing has "replaced" Israel (no, not America, the church, or any other entity), there are still lessons to be learned concerning how God meets out judgement against nations.
There are some insightful passages from Nehemiah on the subjects. The thing to keep in mind, even while in the process of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, they were still subjects to the Persian emperor, King Artaxerxes.
Nehemiah 5:4-5 NAS
"We have borrowed money for the [foreign] king’s taxes against our fields and vineyards ... we are bringing our sons and daughters into bondage as slaves. Some of our daughters have gone into slavery already, and it’s beyond our power to do anything about it, because other men have our fields and vineyards.”
Further passages reveal that this is part of the judgement against Israel for the people turning their back on God and worshipping foreign gods. The people had become slaves in the very land that was to be their inheritance. The fruit of their labors went to foreign kings. They were being sold into bondage to pay thier taxes.
Nehemiah 9:33-37 NAS
For You have dealt faithfully, but we have acted wickedly.
For our kings, our leaders, our priests and our fathers have not kept Your law
Or paid attention to Your commandments and Your admonitions with which You have admonished them.
But they, in their own kingdom,
With Your great goodness which You gave them,
With the broad and rich land which You set before them,
Did not serve You or turn from their evil deeds.
Behold, we are slaves today,
And as to the land which You gave to our fathers to eat of its fruit and its bounty,
Behold, we are slaves in it.
Its abundant produce is for the [foreign] kings
Whom You have set over us because of our sins;
They also rule over our bodies
And over our cattle as they please,
So we are in great distress.
