Banks Are of Babylon

Every financial recession proceeds a moral recession. If you look into every recession there has ever been it is the case. The present recession came after a recession in morality. It’s easy to see the moral recession that came before this one. The banks got greedy.

First of all banks go against what God has said.

This is what the Bible says about banks.

Exodus 22:25
"If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not be like a moneylender; charge him no interest.

Deuteronomy 23:19
Do not charge your brother interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest.

Proverbs 28:8
He who increases his wealth by exorbitant interest amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.

Ezekiel 18:8
He does not lend at usury or take excessive interest. He withholds his hand from doing wrong and judges fairly between man and man.

Ezekiel 18:13
He lends at usury and takes excessive interest. Will such a man live? He will not! Because he has done all these detestable things, he will surely be put to death and his blood will be on his own head.to live among you.

But this current recession was caused by practices beyond that. They were actually charging interest on money that they were lending each other that they didn’t have. Eventually they all owed each other money that did not exist.

Furthermore, they have been ripping off the public with extortionate charges on top of the interest.

Also, the banks have come begging to us for help, this is after charging extortionate interest and charging us over the hilt in other ways.

The system that banks work by is Babylonian.

Revelation 18
The Fall of Babylon the Great
1 After this I saw another angel with great authority coming down from heaven, and the earth was illuminated by his splendour. 2 He cried in a mighty voice:
It has fallen, Babylon the Great has fallen!
She has become a dwelling for demons,
a haunt for every unclean spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
and a haunt for every unclean and despicable beast.
3 For all the nations have drunk
the wine of her sexual immorality, which brings wrath.
The kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her,
and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy from her excessive luxury.

Excessive wealth is what banks are in business for. After they have wrecked the global economy the fat cats have kept their bonuses and no heads have rolled.

They still charge as much interest as they think they can get away with and add as many administration charges as they think they can get away with. They are thieves stealing peoples money and always covetous for more.

The quickest way to get out of this recession is for the banks to repent.

Proverbs 28:8
He who increases his wealth by exorbitant interest amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.
