Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

That's where you nailed it!

Does anyone want to guess how much farther the DJIA goes into the tank Tuesday morning?

Very good Ezekiel, let's have more of that and reading on down to Hosea 4:6 we find: "My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children".

And I sure don't want to take these things out of context but time and again, He has warned of such judgements to be ignored at our peril...

In Version La Reina Valera 1960 interestingly translates your tamid as: "[His] truth always guards me (as a contining process)". And then there are those that think all this is mere folly, somehow just "coincidence", "luck of the draw", yeah, right. Cause/effect, there are consequences for all that is done.

The word "sacrifice" added in by the translators - presumably because tamid (in Leviticus) describes the continual (daily) morning and evening sacrifices in the temple - is problematic. In Daniel, tamid is used as a noun, unlike in the rest of the Hebrew scriptures. Therefore it is something that is continual or perpetual or of a regular occurrence. See the analysis down this page; it's the second post. (That's a great blog to bookmark, BTW).

The rejection of the truth (and the consequences thereof) is a perpetual theme, as you noted.

2 Thessalonians 2:8-13

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

Isaiah 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

Anybody with half a clue knows that the president, Congress, and the media are lying. This "stimulus" is snare for the greedy.

As David said,

Psalms 69:22-25

22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.

What kind of table? The kind flipped over in the temple.

bank (1) "financial institution," 1474, from either O.It. banca or M.Fr. banque (itself from the O.It. term), both meaning "table" (the notion is of the moneylender's exchange table), from a Gmc. source (cf. O.H.G. bank "bench"); see bank (2). The verb meaning "to put confidence in" (U.S. colloquial) is attested from 1884. Bank holiday is from 1871, though the tradition is as old as the Bank of England. Bankroll (v.) "to finance" is 1920s. To cry all the way to the bank was coined 1956 by flamboyant pianist Liberace, after a Madison Square Garden concert that was packed with patrons but panned by critics.
