If the author (John Darby — Early Dispensationalist Leader) would write in plain English his readers would probably discover that there is nothing very valuable in his remarks.

Thankfully, at least according to the Mayan Calendar, this will all be over by December 21, 2012. The end of the world, or the end of the world as we know and have known it? There could be a big difference.

The end of the world as we have known it, really just takes both European leaders and Washington Federal politicians to continue kicking the financial debt can down the road. The major problem, as we continue to point out, is that the twenty-first century solutions to globalism’s reliance on itsy-bitsy no risk pieces of the action, on all the world’s financial transactions, has failed to sustain anything but more debt.

Today we will look at what we have defined as the Profane Covenant as the reason behind this failure. We would like to say that a few twists and turns and a few corrageous acts by political or financial leadership and the debt Titanic will miss the end of the world iceberg, but that just kicks the can back to the Mayan prophesy.

I don’t think I have ever quoted Pat Buchanan in all my years of doing these writings, but this week his pusillanimous comments about American Christians pretty much illustrates the timidity that is behind the current dominance of the Profane Covenant in not only this country, but also the whole of western culture.

The Bible describes three covenants; the oldest being the Profane, even though you probably have never heard it described in that way. The other two are the Abrahamic Covenant, also known as the Covenant of Grace and the Mosaic Covenant or the Covenant of God’s Law.

One way to describe the Profane Covenant, for it traces its roots back to the Garden of Eden, is the devil made me do it. All of historic orthodox Christianity, especially Protestant Christianity, traces our profane source back to St. Augustine and total depravity, which literally we perform quite well all by ourselves.
