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.

Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them. And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD. Then Moses said to Aaron, “ This is what the LORD has said, ‘Among those who are near me I will be sanctified, and before all people I will be glorified,’” And Aaron held his peace.

Today is the first day of Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. According to the Jewish calendar on the twenty-fifth of Kislev, the first of eight candles were lit, just after sundown Tuesday evening. The celebration marks the rededication of the Second Temple during the Maccabean Revolt in the second century BCE, as well as the miracle of a small jar of consecrated oil, which burned for eight days in the Temple’s menorah, when the quantity was only sufficient for one day. The New Testament says in John 10: 22 that Jesus celebrated the Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah).

On December 9, 2011 President Obama had a “Hanukkah Party” in the White House. As a Christian I find the President’s party pretty much in line with the “strange-profane-unauthorized fire in the Leviticus quotation above. I also realize that many historic White House Hanukkah celebrations would not be considered kosher in the Jewish sense, but for some reason I find this date and the whole lack of any sort of sanctification or glory given to God, to fit the party occasion properly. I also read a number of writers who thought that the President would not treat a Muslim religious observance with such inaptitude.

The great thing that separates we humans from all of the lower animals is that we are inventors, or creators if you will, and with our mental and physical inventive creations we are able to innovatively construct cultures. This week we will look at our totally unique human attribute, which drives our whole world’s economic engine this time of year. That creation is religion.

‘It's not a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity to have no dreams.'

Later in life, I would learn that this is, and should be, the mantra for the true CEO of SELF.

— Herman Cain, Quoting Dr. Mays, his Morehouse College President

Yes, yes, yes it is a play on words; using the German language. This week we will spend our time looking at Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 Economic Plan. When progressives finally begin to take Mr. Cain seriously as a presidential candidate, they will begin speaking with both the German and the American meanings, Nein! Nein! Nein! — No! No! No!

One of those mainstream media news-commentaries from Monday found connections from Wisconsin to Virginia allegedly linking Cain’s campaign to the billionaire Koch brothers and their bankrolling of American’s for Prosperity for which Cain did some work. How about from Washington State, or Alaska to Florida, or Maine to California or Hawaii, Alabama to Wyoming, but two points just make a straight line, they do not make a journalistic linking continuum, except in simplistic Nein! Nein! Nein! — No! No! No!

The 9-9-9 Plan is the most profound taxing program in a century and a half; since reconstruction after the Civil War; since the rise of evolving social progressivism; since the demise of the nineteenth century definition of liberalism; I could go on.

Speaking about his plan on 8 August 2011 Herman stated, If ten percent is good enough for God, then nine percent should be just fine for the Federal Government.

But why should the evolving, progressive Collective Elitists lose what is left of their remaining sanity over a simple plan to revamp the Federal tax system in the United States?
