Thank God another orgy of consumer spending and self gratification on the occasion of Christmas is over. Even Boxing Day has been perverted. The original Spirit of it was to give the surplus of gifts and food to those less fortunate in our midst, but it has turned into more self indulgent spending where people do selfish, crazy things to get at the stuff first.

The Bankers, the Merchants and the Corporate media they own are doing their utmost to get Jesus out of Christmas while Christmas sales make or break their merchandising year. They love to see the people rack up huge bills on their Bank credit cards and make the minimum payment.

What has happened to the people these last 2000 years? At the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem in Palestine, the Angels proclaimed ‘Glory to God in the Highest and on earth, Peace, Good Will to Men.’  Peace is no longer valued in this world as War is the way of the Future because there is not much Good Will left between people and Nations.



Luke 2:8-14

At the end of His life, Jesus was arrested, tortured and crucified in Jerusalem after 3 years of struggle with the Jewish religious leadership in Judea and Samaria, known to the world Today as the Occupied West Bank in the Jewish-Palestinian conflict. His final Public humiliation of leadership in the HQ of the Jewish religion was the straw that broke the camel’s back and they were determined to eliminate Him.

The Priests of the Jewish Temple had a cozy relationship with the Bankers and Merchants operating out of the Temple Property. Like the Muslims in Mecca Today, in those days all the Jews living in the Diaspora of the ancient world had to make a Pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. Jerusalem was a vibrant bustling city filled with activity.

As part of the ritual, those many Jewish Pilgrim-tourists had to make a gift offering to God in care of the Priests of the Temple. Because it was for God, only the best as approved by the Priests were kosher. It was the Priests who eventually consumed all the burnt sheep, other food gifts and the merchandise the people offered as Gift Offerings to God.

Because the Jews of the Diaspora had the currencies of their own lands, they 1st went to the money changers (banks) where their money was exchanged for the special “Temple currency.” It was with this kosher money they could buy the kosher merchandise from the merchants who rented their stalls on Temple Property from the Priests. The same merchandise and gift offerings to God could be had for half the price in the streets of Jerusalem.

With a little imagination I could see ancient Jerusalem teeming with people in the Temple and on the narrow streets daily as we see in Ottawa only on CanaDa Day.

Jesus arrives on this scene and obviously freaked out.  I don’t mean that in any pejorative sense. As he violently overturned all the Banker and Merchant tables, it was in righteous indignation. That’s what got Him busted then, and would get anyone busted doing the same thing Today


Mark 11:15-18

In this world where Trust is broken down and Truth is fallen in the Streets, with thieves rampant in high places and low, the People still have not recognized the Spiritual symbolism of Christ being crucified between two thieves.

No one needs God, any other Judge or anyone to tell them being ripped off for anything is bad when it happens to you. Knowing that, there is a mentality these Days everyone is doing it so why not spread it around? This attitude on the part of the people from the greatest to the least leads to destruction,

Who would dare to speak Truth to Power these Days?

(For after all these things do the Gentiles/Atheists seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.


Matthew 6:19-34
