Exodus 22:25 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.
As it stands currently, we are spending between five and $7 billion per day, $306.40 million per hour, $5.11 million per minute and $85,111 per second. Now, we should take some time to digest that. That means that by the end of this Bible study, we would have blown through more than half a billion dollars. That’s a very expensive Bible study indeed. What is even more alarming is the interest we’re paying out per day, to the tune of about 3.8 billion every day.
It is a system that is completely broken, and The Lord is telling us that a day of reckoning is coming, even if smooth talking politicians say otherwise. So, if we are spending five to seven billion per day, and the interest on our national debt is about $3.8 billion per day, it means that we are taking one step forwards, and two steps backwards and we are not even scratching the surface, as far as the principal payments go.
That is similar to a person having $30,000 in debt, paying daily interest, but spending twice as much as the interest payment alone. It’s a completely broken system of checks and balances, and believe it or not, we will have to face the music one day. This is the reason why the bond markets are flashing red, because the Bible says that the borrower is the servant of the lender, and the lenders are requiring higher interest yields on their loans to the nation.
Deuteronomy 15:2 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lends ought unto his neighbor shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because it is called the Lord's release.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
