[Ezekiel]

Obama expressed confidence that the plan "will save or create more than 3.5 million jobs over the next two years, ignite spending by business and consumers alike, and lay a new foundation for our lasting economic growth and prosperity."

Daniel 8:11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the tamid was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

This whole concept of "debt shall make you free" is so whacked that I've got to wonder if the tamid (the perpetual thing) is something simple and obvious (axiomatic), like... the truth.

Psalms 40:11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually [tamid] preserve me.

Daniel 8:12 And an host was given him against the tamid by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

v. 11 the place of his sanctuary was cast down
v. 12 it cast down the truth to the ground

The powers of darkness are disguising שקר (shaqar, to lie) as its lookalike שקד (shaqad, to be vigilant, alert, to be studious, to persevere).

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.

[Diego1618]

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!

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.
