Governments were originally established to protect one's right to find and/or to pursue a life for themselves; reap the hard work of one's hands within the protection of an established boundary, because others would want to take away those rights in order to be served. They wanted to take away {out of envy} one's independence {energy, resources, and inheritance} and make one dependent upon them in order to avoid sweat and toil: feeding off of another person's energy/labor in an attempt to find comfort in death. But you can only maintain independence in a fallen world when you have a love that gives you life in the face of death, which is defined by a heavenly desire that is worth your energy, sweat, and toil. True interest cannot be realized by a money gift, but by their valued sacrifice(s) —when one sweats and physically toils to express a desire for shared dreams to come into reality. And when genuine desires are reciprocated through each other's sweat and blood sacrifices one could keep a hold on an inheritance and have a permanent place in a temporary world if a treasure greater than money is valued within an honored boundary —trust ultimately requires one's life to be swallowed up in and for a GREATER glory {heavenly promise and authority/power}.
The general psychology of the world is that survival is supreme above happiness, but no one survives in this world. And if there is no dream that can be fulfilled, as irony would have it, causes many to hope for happiness among the dead as if that were natural. The only real survivor of people in this world is their gods and only for a limited amount of time. No one can see God or their gods because of a metaphysical boundary which can only be crossed spiritually at present to share in a common desire and be enlightened. But its glory is only tasted after interest is real and emphatic enough to turn into a personal sobering risk and potentially give everything for everything for the promises of that god or God –the real desires that will be satisfied in its glory. The boundary can be tested, but can't be crossed without a pleasing blood sacrifice. All people who value a trust know that there is no freedom without the shedding of blood, and the blood sanctifies a valued boundary. Blood has to be shed because corruption was introduced into the world accompanying and resulting from a conflict of contrary but enflamed or sacred/treasured desires. The argument is: which one of the gods delivers, which one's trust is worth laboring for? And which kingdom will have peace and prosperity forever —be provided for not lacking any good thing; not indebted or dependent on the rest of the world? Freedom is possible only within an accepted and established desired way to express an interest and to experience a glorious reality within the protection of this common boundary.
He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Every man will sit under his own fig tree, and no one will be afraid, for the Lord Almighty has spoken. All nations may walk in the name of their gods; and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
(Micah 4: 3-5, NIV, emphasis mine)
A people's sense of ‘what ought to be’ is controlled by their God or gods; by what inspires their convictions of life and death and a way to prosper within a freedom. Depending on where interest comes from: One might consider a genuine freedom to be expressed by people walking around half naked with women doing construction type jobs and running the military, and men just going from one woman to another claiming to love them all to motivate them –they feel everything is free and not personal. But can there really be anything valued without a personal value? So, another people might see that as an invitation for dishonor, death, a disaster, and enslavement thru an open vulnerability; they might see it as an infringement to the freedom of being able to show a true interest through keeping a nakedness covered and allowing men who are more capable of protection and building a house to be able show their interest by covering and honoring what is vulnerable, and sacredly {highly} treasured. And a personal treasure {a unique asset and deep vulnerability to taste a glory or satisfy a real desire} can only be — vulnerable to a one and only intimate friendship to reciprocate shared personal interest, fulfilling each other's desires that are forever bound for and by that tasted glory. In this scenario the women having a concealed/covered treasure the men bleed for; feeding and strengthening the inner tenderness of their only entrusted husband, together interceding; nurturing their treasures, covering each other's vulnerability and the satisfying fruits of their combined love/labor to the future strength of their kingdom from heaven {nation}– the children born from their personal intimate sacrifices that are naturally valued as the fruit of their combined interest, and covered within their valued boundary.
In other words, one people might think they should be proud of showing their nakedness and that to have a personal treasure or love is selfish or arrogant, while another people think without a personal love or treasure they have no value to offer because they are naked/vulnerable and not covered with a sure trust or true interest. One person's shame can be another person's glory. There are different interests or expressions of freedom depending on how one defines their boundaries and these boundaries are inspired by a source of intelligence to share in a desire. Wisdom is only gained when one has tasted a certain amount of glory inspired by a transcendent intelligence, when part of a desire is shared to enable a dream come true that will prosper a type of heavenly kingdom.
So governments where formed to protect an interest from contrary interests so those within might bring a glory into reality. Envy and jealousy sway the world in its attempt to prohibit or taste the fullness of a glory, so governments were set up to honor a certain God or gods who alone can birth a glorious dream or terror into reality. People can't trust each other on a national level without an agreed standard from a heaven. But which god is a true God/ intelligence who cares and prospers his children is the argument in the world. This has always required someone's blood sacrifice to prove that a living reality is desired; a boundary revered to establish trust in Heaven or Hades, and to cleanse the heart of being tainted of contrary desires to get a taste of a dream that is based on the power of glory. A government based on a love that is a lie will have to go to war or be subjugated because interest within is not returned with the purest part of one's strength; in others words they can't or do not want to afford each other – they do not share in a real passion. All trusts get proved through a trial/storm as a witness to heaven and earth before a government/marriage is judged as forever bound; then it is finalized and consummated in blood — too die for, or to kill for depending on who is your provider/trust.
In the eternal sense of kingdoms from Heaven or Hades: after love has been proved thru the loss of someone's authentic life; an ultimate sacrifice to purge a people of any divided interests and hypocrisy; to the end result that a pure reality can be tasted and transform those who embrace it into a marriage bound in a revealed glory: the war ends between Envy & Jealousy ≈ game over! The two worlds will be separated and there will be peace forever (Revelation 22: 15). The world does not lack anything physically that can't delight a person who is inventive, but something is missing spiritually and people are looking for a completeness to cover them in their vulnerability. Since a world catastrophe that upset the earth, all the spiritual seekers have been looking forward to a new world and a return to paradise! Will it be a new world order, or an old world order?
What made the United States of America such a GREAT nation? Were they better people than the rest of the world? I think you will find one can never truly take credit for their accomplishments –although we get credited for our interest. What I mean is a person does not pick the time they are born, nor the nation they are born into. People cannot pick their skin color, brains, body, gender, nor the parents they were entrusted to. A person has no direct control over their personal destiny! No one gets to take personal credit in their accomplishments or who they are – but rather one gets credited for their interests with a sacrifice as a witness. Hidden heavenly inspirations are at work to bring a dream into reality. The people who were instruments to the forming of the United States wanted the freedom to be themselves but obtained wisdom through a fear of offending God, and a desire to understand his written word. The USA obtained favor as the Jewish nation once had before a gift or inheritance was prized over real relationship that comes from heaven. Regardless, favor and a blessing poured out to an outcast minority of peculiar people because they reverenced boundaries –namely a heavenly one. And the United States was born because there was a heartfelt acknowledgment of a real intelligence and superior power that is at work from a hidden dimension, behind a heavenly boundary. So whose name gets credited for forming a government for the people?
When the United States was formed as a government most where home
schooled and those that afforded a more formal education spent what
little they had learning about what they could apply to reality.
Life has hard lessons when there isn't much to play around with
and one doesn't take to heart what or who they labor to gain.
With the influence of transatlantic revival waves known as the Great
Awakenings in the early 1700's a basic principle sunk into the
hearts of key Americans; that there is a reason for everything and
destiny is influenced by a heavenly trust. And the American colonists
understood the great temptation for people in the positions of
authority to take the place of God and how they could not handle that
kind of power even with good intentions. The American colonies
eventually wanted freedom from kings and church control and wanted
God to do his own work and rule over the United States, which
also appealed to naturalists. In the Declaration of
Independence the newly formed congress was
appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our
intentions

Of course actually trusting in God seemed ridiculous to the European Kings! They did not think this government would last because there was no visible provider and no one in religion really believed in a real active heavenly intelligence only in church regulation. So how would this government remain independent? What would be capital to rely on and whose interest would inspire them to go through the trouble to see a kingdom dream become a reality?
Boundaries defined by a basic unchanging law: a Republic. The United States government would need an unchanging standard or fundamental law and principle that would be just to all within their respected place in society; that is all should be sheltered to reap the love of their labor and the law would halt and reveal untrue or corrupted interest. John Adams originally was adamant about setting up a standard or law that would define the boundaries and limit powers of authorities, but was greatly tempted later to cross or change those boundaries as president to maintain order in the new government. Benjamin Franklin, who was not a Christian but knew enlightenment came from a spiritual connection to a real but hidden intelligence, had to remind congress and those who were instrumental of forming the U.S. government to pray before their meetings. Chaplains were hired for prayer as a necessary part of government before meetings in congress because of the need for wisdom in the midst of conflicting perceptions and arguments in political decision making process. Walter Isaacson cites Franklin:We are in daily expectation of an armament before New York, where, if it comes, the conflict must be bloody. The object is great which we have in view, and we must expect a great expense of blood to attain it. But we should always remember that a free constitution of civil government cannot be purchased at too dear a rate, as there is nothing on this side of the new Jerusalem of equal importance to mankind.

With the convention “groping as it were in the dark to find political truth,” he said, “how has it happened that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights to illuminate our understanding?” Then he added, in a passage destine to become famous, “The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth —that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?”

Although not explicitly written, the foundation or capital of the U.S. Republic was of course the Ten Commandments {there was no other} as the means to labor for true interest and pursue happiness, with the other alternative or interpretation being money. And the democratic share in the government could decide how God given rights would be expressed in civil law. But how would the boundary to powers in authority be expressed in the body of government? Those elected or appointed would have to use the duty and authority of their office { Legislative, Judicial, Executive} to keep other offices from going beyond the authority of their office. This would make means so all could honorably be able to fulfill the defined duty of their office, and ensure if they didn't it would be evident they shouldn't be in that office. In other words, they would keep each other accountable to their office and to being focused on their only official duties; keep each other in check, and make their job simpler to perform. This secures a way to prove a common interest while honoring the boundaries to authority; interceding and giving God place to do his own work/part.
After the United States gained independence from Britain the US army was held in Newburg, New York, until a treaty was drawn up and all British troops left the colonies, which took a few years for full compliance. But the newly formed congress couldn't pay for much of the US army needs and unrest was causing a temptation to overthrow congress and install a dictator that would force a tax on the people so the army could be paid. Some even approached Washington and offered him kingship, and he shockingly and quietly disapproved. At a Newburg meeting where discontentment was brewing, George Washington had to remind his fellow soldiers that they just fought against a monarchy and they had just made great sacrifices to dissolve it. Marshall (cited by Archiving Early America, n.d.) documents the events from his study of history:
George Washington knew trust is not won by overpowering its subjects, but its only possibility was to make some kind of sacrifice for a shared and desired standard. If one gleams through George Washington's writings it becomes apparent he strove and took risk that the people would see the beauty for a heavenly law as a shelter in their vulnerability so that true interest could find a way or be realized. As a general his greatness was not established because of superior war strategy but because he valued boundaries, and was in the process of realizing his own boundaries all of which he zealously fought to establish. In regards to his faith it seems true reverent principle was foremost to Washington in recognizing godliness, and like many seekers who are looking for genuine believers to fellowship with one can stumble into strange forms of spirituality or theology. But if one sincerely gave away their life to God and stays connected with genuine private outpouring prayer, one escapes the many snares although being humbled. Hieronimus (1989) cites:Following his address Washington studied the faces of his audience. He could see that they were still confused, uncertain, not quite appreciating or comprehending what he had tried to impart in his speech. With a sigh, he removed from his pocket a letter and announced it was from a member of Congress, and that he now wished to read it to them. He produced the letter, gazed upon it, manipulated it without speaking. What was wrong, some of the men wondered. Why did he delay? Washington now reached into a pocket and brought out a pair of new reading glasses. Only those nearest to him knew he lately required them, and he had never worn them in public. Then he spoke: “Gentlemen, you will permit me to put on my spectacles, for I have not only grown gray but almost blind in the service of my country.” This simple act and statement by their venerated commander, coupled with remembrances of battles and privations shared together with him, and their sense of shame at their present approach to the threshold of treason, was more effective than the most eloquent oratory.

George Washington's metaphysical leanings are fairly well known; the depth of his spirituality is less so. During the Valley Forge episode his inner strength was perhaps the deciding factor in his ability to hold together what was left of his army (whom he sometimes referred to as his "Christian soldiers"). Washington spent a long time each day in prayer and meditation. This habit of his is well known, and etchings of Washington on his knees beneath the trees of Valley Forge are common. He carried his daily practice of prayer into the lives of his soldiers, ordering prayers to be said in the army every morning, and on Sunday when no chaplain was available he read the Bible to his men and led the prayers himself.

Washington was a Freemason for most of his life and my impression from the sources I have gleamed through, while keeping his own words and actions as a foremost witness, is that he was not intimately involved but was venerated by them because of his status as a successful general. I have come to this conclusion because Benjamin Franklin was a true Illuminati, and it seems there wasn't any intimate friendship connections between Washington and any Illuminati. However, I do believe in his ignorance of the secret society within his congregation of Freemasons that he was used to a some degree without his awareness. But then again all forms of Christianity today are taken captive by a secret agent within their dependency of church hierarchy, verses depending on real Godsends or an awareness of what God is doing.
But understand and know this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect him. (Matthew 24:43-44, NIV)
Probably attractive to George Washington, as man who delighted in profound principle is the Freemason's Greek slogan or revelation: KNOW THYSELF. This truth is necessary at the start of any relationship where a greater glory will empower and shelter the relationship. To George it is most probable he knew he was just dust in the wind that had to be covered by a greater glory to have any real value. To truly know, acknowledge, and understand one's identity when standing alone is too desire to lose one's self in knowing the desire of one's life –conscious of a glorious intelligence outside of one's self that brought one into existence for a reason, because identity and even existence is redundant apart from your Creator. And if striped of all attempts at making your own name and all self-admiration, and then persistently seeking, and wanting with all you are – an affection more glorious, and then finding a merciful Father/ Creator that can fill one with their Spirit/life, and will share vulnerable heartfelt desires and fulfill them but only at the price of joyfully giving all of one's heart away to really know/understand and be in the real glory of his interest –his desire; is to potentially know the intelligence that put you here –another being with a greater glory/power. To know someone is to be conscious of their intimate being, or in the least to know of someone is to recognize their works. Most likely true Illuminati would interpret the saying KNOW THYSELF different – it would mean to draw from your own being toward finding a glory to empower a desire; that is to fulfill one's own heart by taking the advantage of another's life or vulnerability in veneration of one's self, that is draw from a glory that amplifies self-conscious for empowerment. In other words one can only know intimately the one they honor with real interest. And although vulnerability might seem to be covered when interest is masked {feigned} or with a darkness, is the friendship true with interest when alone together? Robert Hieronimus cites Sparks (1848):
Washington's views on the Illuminati, however, are very clear. He condemned them as "self- created societies" and dealt them a blow that led to their disappearance. When questioned about whether or not Illuminism had spread to Masonry in America, Washington answered that he "did not believe that the lodges of Freemasons in this country had as societies, endeavored to propagate the diabolical tenet of the former [Illuminati] or pernicious principles of the latter Jacobinism]"
(Sparks, 1848, 11: 577, retrieved on 3 June 2012 from www.reversespins.com/masons.html).
It seems Washington was ignorant of a masterpiece conspiracy in heaven because of the grace that was bestowed upon him; there is a powerful corrupting subtle intelligence and force contrary to the Father's dream of a new world, an intimate reality that is sheltered inside a boundary in heaven. But today we know the Illuminati are famously, but secretly at work in Masonic Lodges because one must be invited who is looking for a reality that is worth one's life. Their doctrine perverts truth, namely the Bible, to point to a god in heaven {unseen dimension} who is not God, making God's Living Word abhorrent. Anyone who worships an unknown god with no real witness to his identity or works is under the same influence that empowers the Illuminati, and the Illuminati have infiltrated all major and international Christian denominations. The Illuminati are secret agents from the outside of a boundary in heaven that promotes world government and the deity of man; the original sin that brought death into the world in Genesis 3:4-7. But George Washington who was a mediocre general at best did not seem focused on his accomplishments, or knowing a glory through a power of self- consciousness, because he was obsessed with the unjust forces or powers at work around him and appealed to the Supreme Judge of the world. He said something intangible helped him and commoners win the war for independence against one of the greatest world powers on earth at the time:
Such being the impressions under which I have, in obedience to the public summons, repaired to the present station; it would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official Act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the Universe, who presides in the Councils of Nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that his benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the People of the United States, a Government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes: and may enable every instrument employed in its administration to execute with success, the functions allotted to his charge.
… No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency. And in the important revolution just accomplished in the system of their United Government, the tranquil deliberations and voluntary consent of so many distinct communities, from which the event has resulted, cannot be compared with the means by which most Governments have been established, without some return of pious gratitude along with an humble anticipation of the future blessings which the past seem to presage. These reflections, arising out of the present crisis, have forced themselves too strongly on my mind to be suppressed. You will join with me I trust in thinking, that there are none under the influence of which, the proceedings of a new and free Government can more auspiciously commence.
(George Washington's inaugural address, 1789, retrived on 2 June 2012 from National Archives and Records Administration at www.archives.gov/)
In the USA it was easier for the few to bless the many because originally there was a demand that boundaries be honored and protected, that all persons should be able to reap their labors so one's dreams might come true if it was based on true interest. And of course many Christians were not God fearing, and there were evils that the country would have to be sanctified from, but unless a birth of a kingdom can come about apart from a desire for a heavenly covering which has never happened in history, then U.S. interest was predestine to be proved by a supreme intelligence for a glory to possibly become a reality. If God is an intelligence source that is actively working then the birth of the United States was obviously blessed by God's sovereign choice regardless of its iniquities at that time for two unspoken but active principles at its birth; God's word or the Bible was in the hands of the common people and initially was the foundation for education and discovering wisdom in the United States; and the peoples intentions were to let God do his own work – known as naturalism. It is a easily understood science because we know the variables and the result of the actions through an observation in history. God's Word could obtain its fame in the hands of common people and a natural power would do the selecting. One could say a reality could become evident within a trust that the people could choose because of an inspired interest. Although the peoples interest for a trust was a risk, it was their striving and laboring for a heavenly dream to come true that made the United States the most economical and blessed nation in the history of the world up into the twentieth century, when what was capital changed meaning with a depression as a witness to an unknown love and a desire for a foreign interest.
Terror is not directly triggered by physical affliction because it is an expression of a desire/love, and love is a perception based on a REAL sacrifice to prove an interest real! This expression of love is referred to as an act of terror because its demonstration to fulfill a desire is one's perception of an outsider's intentions to sacrifice one's personal value in their vulnerable moment against their acceptance. Terror is a perception that may be connected to physical pain but not necessarily so. Terror in its purist sense is a spiritual pain: a spiritual death if one is the receiver of it, or desire to be on top in an affliction if one is feeding from it, with the goal being to attempt finding some kind of satisfaction in death — the power to swallow up another's life. For example: if a child breaks his arm on a skate board, after taking a time out to understand what happened, he will get back on it if there is a satisfaction greater than the pain involved and part of a dream might come true. The fear of unnecessary pain might have made him get real, gain some respect or sobriety for what he is doing, but physical pain did not cause terror. But if his parents, whom he trusts to give him worth and shelter, break his arm to prevent him from riding the skate board, he might be mortified, terrified, and lose any hope of satisfaction because there is no evidence those he is vulnerable toward value his interest. In his perception, which may or may not be true, his parents seem to be getting worth by taking his delight for life away, and they shed blood by breaking his arm to make it very believable. So then it is the spiritual affliction of being vulnerable to an untrue interest that fills one with terror, not going through physical affliction. If one has part in a dream that can come into reality and a real value is reciprocated, one will make sacrifices and go through some pain in hopes to enter into and share in some kind of glory.
Terror is something that grips the heart when interest is not sincere and one is forced to be vulnerable to that interest. But there are different interests or interpretations of how one might get worth, some will see love in what another calls terror –if someone stalks you maybe they are showing love? Love is a perception of interest that is interpreted by one's gods, standard, or whose untainted sacrifice they trust in for a dream to possibly come true. The interpretation of love or what one believes ought to be, depends on how one defines their boundaries to their common interests. The international community or the United Nations have a hard time defining terror for this very reason – different nations have different standards to show interest. The international encyclopedia Wikipedia (n.d.) acknowledges:
The definition of terrorism has proved controversial. Various legal systems and government agencies use different definitions of terrorism in their national legislation. Moreover, the international community has been slow to formulate a universally agreed, legally binding definition of this crime.
(retrieved on 17 June, 2012 from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism, subtitle: Definition)
If one delights in terror it really is not a terror as long as those who share in it are within the same boundary and share in a basic standard, then if that nation flourishes, the interest was true, and if it doesn't the interest will go extinct and die, but whatever the case it is justifiable because that way to express desire is what that community gave their blood/love for. In truth many people get their worth from envy and self-martyrdom , or they would take a time out and find another option; they could have changed standards either by leaving that nation/ boundary or by making a clean/true self-sacrifice to show a better or real interest and another freedom. A real interest is proved by a real sacrifice for a real glory, and that is a terrible and beautiful thing to get someone real; a real treasure for a dream to become real! Love that is from heaven [or Hades] is always proved by blood and sweat, a living valued personal sacrifice to bring one into a reality to fulfill a desire. So then terror can only be defined as terror when one brings a foreign, alien, or unknown interest into another's boundary by coercion, because sacrifices from within a known boundary are what sanctify or show the love of those within according to their tolerance to show interest; under their standard for what is lawful to define a freedom. But an alien sacrifice with blood does not share the same boundary and interest!
2b: a frightening aspect <the terrors of invasion>
All terror is spiritual because it is an expression of love depending on what one's standards are for someone real with interest. Everyone fears being separated from a glory that covers them! But there is a terror that will grip one to no end that is not based on any reality. It happens when one lies to themselves or they have not been true to their conscience – when one receives a return from the objects of one's interest and the interest was a lie. If a person harms, afflicts, or demeans who they show interest in and/or co-labor with {expend themselves for and with} they show they do not value what they labor for and become their own enemy! At that point if one will not admit they were corrupted by trying to find worth in death, and they reject God's mercy, reject sharing/partaking [hungry to take in] in the hearfelt valued sacrifice of his Living Word to remake them, then one must attempt to make another pay the deficit for their untrue interest, which is to promote death.
And those determined to glorify themsleves will deny their unreal or feigned interest, but to keep from bankruptcy will ultimately cross a boundary claiming to stop terror, taking the place of a savior, or claiming to to take the place of God, or a god, in order to enslave them with an interest in a secret intelligence/interest. And if they claim to have heavenly riches, mock the Bible, imitating/feigning God's Living Word {his one and only Son} twisting him for their own glory —all knowledge will work against those; and an intelligence from heaven will eventually turn on them and their identity will be destroyed in torment –insanity. They will have no covering except darkness forever! And one of the reasons one cannot make another pay while imitating true riches from heaven is that there is no such thing as money it's only a credit tool to show an interest; there is no comfort in death that covers vulnerability except the denial of an absolute reality {embracing mystery} and the rejection of life. The money itself is just a piece of paper.
True riches can only be acquired by a true interest {an interest stripped of all folly} which can't be stolen and can only really come from heaven, which means no one can give treasure from heaven away either, except God himself; a hidden but knowable intelligence who wants to invest his labor of love for dream and desire to come to pass in time, for the Glory of his Promises, of his Word –Truth. Those who did acquire some heavenly treasure will labor/invest their best part so that God can really do his labor, his part, so that there is a witness that interest is true and shared for a heavenly desire to be met and a glorious dream to come into reality, and really taste the glory of the new world they are destine for.
One will see if they investigate history and even recount their own past experiences that people could never generally trust each other when a valuable personal asset was vulnerable/available for the taking, if they felt in want and they could get away with it they would betray each other. Without any restraint and boundaries to reveal a reality in life people in their ignorance steal worth from each other trying to find satisfaction in their perishing state, causing a greater need for satisfaction because worth is being lost. Or maybe to some, nothing was worth treasuring because in death it seems no one or anything can retain its value so why hold onto any value or interest? So those who valued their labor and getting out of bed, in their desperation to find the love of their life and the reason they were born, sought out a heavenly interest that would cover their vulnerability; a great glory that would shelter them within an assured boundary. With the protection and security of an eternal trust, a shared desire or heavenly standard could become evident so one could be sheltered and invest their assets with a return of interest without their vulnerable sacrifices being taken namelessly/blindly. By losing their life to an eternal glory some were inspired by an intelligence, getting a taste of a different world within a perishing one. And this is because undying trust is not natural for people, to this day when a person deeply treasures someone or something they turn to the god's or God for intervention – not other people because they are not in control! They are vulnerable to a mystery — a dream that can never come true based on an unfaithful flattering lie to find comfort in death.
Our system of money operates on a mutual set of beliefs; so long as enough of us believe in the future value of money the system will work. What could cause us to lose that belief? It is unlikely that money will be replaced in the near future, because the inefficiencies of a dual coincidence of wants system are well known. If one currency is to be replaced by another, there will be a period in which you can switch your old currency for new currency.

If people interests were not corrupted or tainted by a fear or love for death, we would not need money, and would cover each other from our own substance because of a mutual desire for each other's friendship. But there is other and greater external forces that compete for ones love to fulfill an internal desire that can captivate one's heart and soul. In world history gold became a symbol of a desired investment and marriage with the gods which came to be credit to a form of trust and security. This unity through a heavenly trust is the only way governments and empires had any type of prosperity or unity. Although today oil indirectly sets the new currency standard because it gives iron man energy to crush his opposition, gold still holds some value mainly in wedding rings because of the ancient symbolism which became the first widely accepted form of money/interest. Because people cannot trust each other and do not value much in their perishing state, one might argue that when people labored for trust with the gods that they tricked themselves into laboring for themselves while obtaining a common interest for something real. But money is not a substance and itself is only a bartering tool to open one's ear to a potential interest for a friendship through a common trust/provider/father of a heavenly dream. So then which is real the gods or money, where does the metaphysical inspiration come from? In a sense money is only a witness to how one spends their energy to show an interest in a kingdom from Heaven or Hades [a heaven outside of heaven].
In Genesis 15 Abram after rejecting a great
reward for rescuing Sodom, for Lots sake, demonstrated he
was after a friendship with true interest and the Lord came unto
Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy
shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
And then God
makes a promise to Abram that they would have an intimate share in a
son that would come from his own heart and being bowels
and
will be heirs to inherit a blessing from heaven –that
would not be dependent on the world's interest. And
Genesis 15 says about Abram And he believed in the Lord, and
he counted it to him for righteousness
(emphasis
mine, KJV
). Abram believed in God's Living Word as the source of
abundant of life, it was capital not money! And counted
means he received credit for acting on it, which is
evident because Abram made a sacrifice from the best part of his own
substance [money/labor] to show his genuine interest
toward a real entrustment from heaven, and a dream
coming to life. So what metaphysical power or glory are we putting
our faith in to gain credit, or who is one really relinquishing
control to, in order to fulfill who's shared desires? We
are all being credited in promoting an interest that is inspired by
a hidden intelligence.
A person never gets everything they truly deserve in this world. We all start out living off of the previous generations sacrifices – we either inherit a deficit or credit from the labors of those before us. From a spiritual perspective as a nation, people are nurtured and credited/covered as an investment to bear fruit for a king or kingdoms interest. Although one may, or may not, have their desires fulfilled, we will all get what we labored for in the long run, in the birth of a new world. We are credited in hopes of sharing a heavenly interest, with the promise {trust based on a tasted interest} of a new world.
No one can fully take pride in the good or evil they have done because when something grips the heart they are not in control. One can only be blamed for the glorious dream they are showing an interest in or the power one invested in to fulfill a desire. If one has labored for the wrong kind of trust they can find a ransom at the cost of joyfully sacrificing control of their life and inheritance in this world for one who can make a new one, and interest will be proved at the precipice; it will be everything for everything that you are. An intelligent force wants to be desired with a clean and true investment to reveal a reality and make a dream come true that will last forever with a return of unending interest —marriage in heaven. Or will it be Hades? But a hypocrite can only hope a real glory will stay a mystery because of the terror of a real return of interest.
