22 Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart.23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin."24 Then Simon answered, "Pray to the Lord for me so that nothing you have said may happen to me."25 When they had testified and proclaimed the word of the Lord, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching thegospel in many Samaritan villages. Josephus, the great Jewish historian mentions the Samaritans."When the Jews are in adversity they [the Samaritans] deny that they are kin to them, and THEN THEY CONFESS THETRUTH; but when they perceive that some good fortune hath befallen them, they immediatelyPRETEND to have communion with them, saying, that they belong to them, and desire theirgenealogy from the posterity of Joseph, Ephraim, and Manasseh And when they see the Jews inprosperity, they PRETEND they are changed and allied to them, and call them kinsmen, as thoughthey were derived from Joseph, and had by that means an original alliance with them; but whenthey see them falling into a low condition, they say that they are no way related to them, andthat the Jews have no right to expect any kindness or marks of KINDRED from them, but theydeclare that they are sojourners, that come from OTHER countries" (Josephus, Antiquities, IX, 14,3). When the Jewish wars began around 66 A.C., these Samaritans denied kinship with the realJews and thus escaped from the Roman sword. The World did come to an end in 70 A.C. — forthe Jewish nation. Roman General Titus besieged the city and over 1 million people were killed inthe siege. The full account is given by the Jewish historian Josephus in his Wars of the Jews. TheJewish nation, beginning with Abraham, had its 2,000 year existence. To be a Jew you had toprove ancestry from Abraham or be married to someone who was thus descended. All thegenealogical records were kept in the Temple which was completely destroyed. The Jews werescattered to the four winds. After the Fall of Rome, they and all the civilizations that comprised the Empire were sweptaway forever. Not all Samaritans were bad. Yeshua-Joshua spoke about a GOOD Samaritan and many of the Samaritansdid become real Jews by believing in Yeshua-Joshua....Justin Martyr the famous church historian who wrote about Simonthe Sorcerer was also a Samaritan. The moneylender was conceived in Rome . . . and gave birth to usury. The word usurycomes from the Latin usus meaning "used" and the word usuria which means demanding in return for a loan a greateramount than was borrowed."As lending upon interest was forbidden by the Gabinian law between provincials and Roman citizens, and the latter atthat time had all the money of the globe in their hands, there was a necessity for tempting them with the bait ofextravagant interest, to the end that the avaricious might thus lose sight of the danger of losing their money. And as theywere men of great power in Rome, who awed the magistrates and overruled the laws, they were emboldened to lend, andto extort great usury. Hence the provinces were successively ravaged by every one who had any credit in Rome: and aseach governor, at entering upon his province, published his edict wherein he fixed the rate of interest in what manner hepleased, the legislature played into the hands of avarice, and the latter served the mean purposes of the legislator"(Baron de Montesquieu, The Laws of Nations:)Right: Arch of Titus in Rome commemorating his victory over the Jewish nation.Usury was outlawed by the Roman Republic but the rich Romans found a way around it as usual. The used surrogates orfront men just like they used the fake "Jews" during the Dark Ages to lend at usury: "As soon as lending upon interestwas forbidden at Rome, they contrived all sort of means to elude the law; and as their allies, and the Latins, were notsubject to the civil laws of the Romans, they employed a Latin, or an ally, to lend his name, and personate the creditor.The law, therefore, had only subjected the creditors to a matter of form, and the public were not relieved" (Baron deMontesquieu, The Laws of Nations). Some of the Samaritans were fake "Jews." The met in synagogues, observed thePassover and the other Jewish feasts etc., etc., but they were really Babylonians and money lending, USURY and loansharking was no problem for them. They disappear from history about 600 A.C. but by that time they had completelysupplanted the real Torah Jews. Simon the Sorcerer failed to buy an Apostleship, but his successor Pope Constantineconsidered himself the 13th Apostle and was buried in Constantinople in a crypt surrounded by 12 coffins to represent the12 apostles: "He (Constantine) accordingly caused twelve coffins to be set up in this church, like sacred pillars in honorand memory of the apostolic number, in the center of which his own was placed, having six of theirs on either side of it.Thus, as I said, he had provided with prudent foresight an honorable resting-place for his body after death, and, havinglong before secretly formed this resolution, he now consecrated this church to the apostles, believing that this tribute totheir memory would be of no small advantage to his own soul" (Eusebius, Life of Constantine).AC 301: Diocletian attempted to stop inflation by imperial order, the so- called Edict on Prices. Taxes followed: Theannona was a land-tax determined by the quality to the land and the manpower available to work it (capitatio-iugatio). b.The tax base was calculated periodically, eventually every fifteen years (the indictio). c. The tax was originally collected inkind (normally grain), but money payments were soon substituted. d. The new system allowed the preparation of annualbudgets and put the financial system of the state on a relatively secure footing.AC320s: Coinage reformed: Constantine's gold solidus (struck at 72 to the pound) became the World's standard coin forthe next thousand years. Constantine adopts Christianity and following his conversion, he confiscates the enormoustreasures amassed over the centuries in the pagan temples throughout the empire. Consequently, unlike Diocletian, hehas easily enough bullion to replace the earlier debased gold coinage. However he continues to produce debased silverand copper coins. Thus the poor, unlike the rich, are left with an inflation-ridden currency.The Hidden History Of Money & New World Order Usury Secrets Revealed at last! Page 216
