Ideology and Philosophy in Yah’s Kingdom


Today I want to discuss understanding the concept of ideology and philosophy in Yah’s Kingdom. I am going to say that again, understanding ideology and philosophy in Yah’s Kingdom. This is probably the most important session on philosophy and ideology in The Most High Yah’s Kingdom. The kingdom of the Most High Yah is a government and there's nothing more important in government citizenship than ideology and philosophy. Now these are big words to some people so I'm going to break them down for you in a few moments, but everyone here--is living their philosophy. And every government is built on a philosophy or an ideology. Yahusha HaMaschiach was very clear about His philosophy and His ideology. We don't think much of Yahuasha HaMaschiach as a philosopher, but today you'll understand what philosophy is. And you'll appreciate that philosophy and faith is the same thing. All nations and citizenship are built on a philosophy, on an ideology.
And we talked about nations, because the divine purpose of the Most High, from the beginning was to establish the nation of heaven on earth. That was the Most High's original plan. Secondly, the Most High’s goal was to establish the colony of heaven on earth. A colony is a group of citizens, living in a foreign territory. Earth to heaven, is a foreign territory. Thirdly the Most High's objective for putting us here was to establish the culture of heaven on earth. The purpose for colonization is the extension of culture. Colonization is successful when the culture of the kingdom is manifested in the colony. Fourthly, the strategy of the Most High was to establish the government of heaven on earth. The way you establish a colony, is you must establish the government in the territory--that's why when the British came to colonize the islands in the Caribbean, one of the first things they did was they built a house, and in every island in the Caribbean where there was a colony of the British Kingdom, they built a house. Every island has a house called the governor’s mansion. When you go to Jamaica, Grenada, Barbados, St. Thomas, St. Lucia and Guyana--they each have a house in each one. And most of the houses were the same color, pink and white. In other words the British even coded the color. In that house was the government of Great Britain, manifested in one human called the governor, whose job was to administrate Britain's interests in the island and to bring the culture of Great Britain into the island. Those in the islands, like Bahamas, Jamaica, Barbados and Grenada can understand each other, because they had the same Kingdom. So they got the same language, the same foods, the same habits, the same culture. They all drive on the left. It was the same with the Most High's--His plan was to do the same thing with the earth! He wanted to establish the culture of heaven on earth and His goal was to bring the government of heaven on earth. To bring that into being, the Most High's governor, the Ruach HaQadesh, was the first person to live on earth. Genesis 1:2 And the Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Yah moved upon the face of the waters. The scripture says and the Spirit of the Most High moved upon the face of the deep. He was the first one here. His job was to bring order. The word order here in Hebrew is the same word as garden. The difference between a garden and jungle is one is order. A jungle and a garden have the same material, but one of them has an order. That's why you call it a garden--when the Bible says the Most High planted a garden and He named it Eden which means the presence of the Most High and He put the man in Eden, He was really bringing in the order of the Most High to the earth. The governor is the Ruach HaQadesh and the Ruach HaQadesh lived inside of man. When Adam sinned, the Bible says the Ruach HaQadesh could no longer strive with men so he left. We became a colony without a government. Our result was, we built our own government out of human material. That's why our governments are not working because we are trying to govern earth without heaven, and we have abandoned the Governor and we are trying to create our own government. Point number five, the purpose of the government is to establish the administration of the law in the land, that regulates the life and the culture of the people. This is very important! The number one responsibility of the government is to establish a law that regulates behavior. That law therefore produces the culture of that nation in that place. So anytime you begin to deal with law you're tampering with national culture. Now, the Bible is the Constitution that contains this great story of what happened. So the Bible is not about religion. The Bible does not teach the oppressive imposition of religion on people. I do not believe in religious government. I think today we have proven over and over again through the years, that any government that is religiously zealous will destroy the people--and they will use their religion to justify the destruction. This is not the will of the Most High. As a matter of fact, the kingdom of the Most High is not in position, it is influence. The Most High has not imposed Himself on any human. His goal was to influence us with love and mercy and justice and peace and faith. His desire for us to choose to love Him. That is why He gave us a will. The will is the most powerful weapon on earth and it can be used to kill or to love. The Most High’s desire is to influence the earth with righteous leadership in governance, so that there will be a reflection of the principles of heaven on earth. The kingdom of the Most High is a government of the submitted mind to the principles of the Most High. Whether it is natural law or divine laws, leadership that acknowledges the Most High in all their ways is considered a righteous leadership. Now, I'm laying this foundation, to talk about this dangerous component of philosophy. How do we know that we were given a government from the beginning?? The answer, is whatever Yahusha brought to earth, is what man lost, and if you look at the book of Isaiah chapter 9 verse 6 there's a prophecy about the coming of HaMaschiach and it says: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty the Most High, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Now, I want you to write this statement down, the power of philosophy in government. For unto us a child will be born and a son will be given and if He's coming with the government upon His shoulders, so He's coming to bring a government. If you ever looked at a picture of a leader as a child would you know if they will do something terribly great or something terribly awful? Seeing their baby or early childhood pictures, may not give us any clues to who they will grow up to become. For example, if you were to look up a picture of Adolf Hitler when he was a child, what would you think? Oh, this little boy is so innocent. He's beautiful. He looks harmless. A child is born like an empty hard drive. They are born with nothing in their minds--they know nothing about all the things we have problems with, like racism and hatred and bitterness and anger. Kids come to the earth with a blank slate and looking at his childhood photos you begin to wonder about this little boy. Maybe he reminds you of your little boy, a boy playing in the streets. Without knowing who he would grow up to be you may think, what a cute little kid! So this child grows up and what he became had to do with philosophy. And that's the danger of the government! This little boy became the leader of the government of Germany and he started World War II. This little boy exterminated over six million people in gas chambers--entire families: children, mothers, fathers, grandparents. He killed them all. The reason why he killed them is because he had a certain ideology. He had a certain philosophy and his philosophy was learned between being a boy and becoming a man. Whatever you become, you learned it, first. My question is, who taught this young boy. Where did he get his ideas from? Write this down, the foundation of our modern day leadership philosophy is not from the Bible, it is from Greece. The Greek philosophy of leadership is what is still ruling the world today. As a matter of fact America is ruled by Greek philosophy. So is Canada, so is Great Britain and France and Spain and Portugal. Greek philosophy is very, very interesting. The Greeks believe some strange things and I won't get into all of them right now, but I'll tell you one of them. The Greeks believed that the Yahs chose who would be leaders and chose who would be slaves. The Greeks believed that, which means that the Greeks believed all humans were not equal. The Greeks believed that anybody who was born with light-colored skin, blond hair, blue eyes and a sharp nose and thin lips were destined to be leaders by the gods. By their definition, I am in trouble! The Greeks believed that and they taught that leadership was a product of birth traits. That's the term they use. Even the well known philosopher Socrates believed this stuff. They believe that you have certain traits, you were born to be a leader and if you ain't got them you were born to be a slave. And one of the traits was straight hair, fair skin, sharp nose, thin lips. You see me Dr. J by that definition, I was born to be a slave. This nose, these lips, and my hair is straight when I go to the salon! In other words, the Greeks cancelled me from any kind of leadership position! This is the foundation of democracy. They created democracy. Democracy is a Greek ideology. Their idea was that they were born to be the rulers of the world and the rest were born to be servants to them. This philosophy is ingrained in the spirit of oppressors. I guarantee you that every oppressor is a product of Greek philosophy. The Greeks were over ran by the Romans. The Romans invaded Greece and destroyed Greece but the rumors were interesting. They did not destroy the Greek libraries. The Greeks were one of the first to build libraries and all of their books and ideologies were in those libraries. And the Romans took the library and studied Greek philosophy and the Romans established their entire empire on Greek philosophy. So it was a strange combination. There was a kingdom with Greek philosophy. They believed that Caesar, the word Caesar is not a name, it's a title. The word caesar means son of Yah. Caesar means the Yah of the sun. The son of the Yahs, in other words he believed he was Yah--born to rule. The rest of us are born to serve the Romans. They therefore developed Greek philosophy which says that the Romans were superior and let me use the word they use in Latin, aryan. You know the word aryan, the Aryan race? Which means that the white race is superior--that is a Roman doctrine that came from the Greeks. Rome ruled from Britain all the way to Africa. They ruled the whole world!! And their philosophy is in all of Europe and when they fell apart they ended up with small kingdoms. You could name them, there was one called Franco, Spanien, they were called Portuguese, they were called Anglo. Which is a word for England or English in other words the European kingdoms--were simply Rome breaking up. No wonder why they could go to Africa and pick up slaves, because slaves got big lips, big nose black skin, and kinky hair. So for them it was easy to say, look we could sell you because you ain't real humans-you were born to be slaves. This is ingrained in their philosophy of government and that's why the first ones to buy slaves was the Portuguese. Who told the British they came down and picked up some Africans. Then the French found out and they said it is cheaper to go where they are and take over their countries, rather than ship them to our nations. And so came the reality of colonization and they even went to Africa and the Americas and Caribbean and they didn't come to bless you, they came to put you to work in the plantations. Because you are not really human as a matter of fact the Americas were built on the backs of black people. That's why even in the Congress they passed the law in America that all black people are only 3/5 humans. Did you know that? That was a law, that means you have people that were only 60% human. Which means to sell a person was easy, because you're not a full, whole person and it came from ideology. It came from philosophy. It's important to know what your leaders believe. Because it forms the foundation of your government. It was easy for them as a government to sell slaves and be traders of slaves, as a matter of fact Abraham Lincoln said that slavery was wrong, they shot him in the head. They killed the president of the states. Do you know who killed him? It's believed that the conspirators of his own party killed him, because they had slaves. You should be quiet, because what's going on here is not as recent as you think. Every colony is ruled by Greek philosophy. That's why the French, thought Haitians were just animals and the Haitians decided to rise up. They were the first one to rise up and say there is something wrong with this. And the Haitians began to fight against those oppressors and became the first free Republic in the Caribbean. But do you know what they did? They made the Hatians pay for their own freedom and the Haitians still owe money to France!
Some of you all don't even know this! If you want freedom, okay--you got to pay for it. That's why the Haitian country is still battling with economic problems, because they were committed to pay a bill to France for freedom! There are some Haitians who don't even know this! And it's all because of philosophy! So don't discount what I'm teaching today! This is the foundation of philosophy and it becomes your government. Now the Romans were the first ones to actually implement Greek philosophy, so they treated all humans who were not Romans as half-breed citizens. No one can be a citizen of Rome, unless you had money to pay for it. The Apostle Paul's father was very rich obviously because Paul got Roman citizenship--for was a Jew they were considered scum of the earth by the Romans. The Roman Empire was a kingdom of oppression. Guess who was born during that time? Yahusha HaMashiach. He was born in a colony. A colony called Palestine. He was born in the middle of oppression and the Bible says He came with what? The government upon His shoulders. He came in the midst of a government, with a government! He called the government--the kingdom of the Most High. That's why this message is so important. This is not something to get you to heaven. This is to get heaven to earth because, earth has gone crazy! We've reduced the value of humans. We kill people, like they are animals. Look at what they're doing in the Hills in Iraq. They are running them down and shooting them in the hills. These are children, and grandparents because they wouldn't convert to Islam. They call themselves Islamic government. Don't forget that. That's what the word Isis actually means. Any government that devalues humans is ungodly, but the question is where do they get this idea to devalue humans? It comes from their philosophy and that's why we got to talk about it. Philosophy and leadership. Write this down, you can give any leader of your philosophy. Now this may sound like a simple statement, but some pastors have Greek philosophy. They believe because they are the pastor they're better than the people. They think they're superior. This works everywhere. Why? Because we have adopted from the British! You make someone a politician, all of a sudden they are great and superior. They treated you like dirt and you used to go to school with them--now they not will speak to you. Why? You are inferior. That's Greek philosophy. How about you in your management department? Now that you've been promoted, how do you treat people, now? See it comes right down to you. How do you feel when you get a title? I am a manager? All of a sudden everybody is less than you. Maybe you are sick with the wrong philosophy. You got the light color on your skin, you think all of a sudden you are better than black people who are darker than you? Are you sick? But that's what the slave owner used to do. He said make the light color slave, who was born from the slave that he, had sex with to be better than the ones who were dark-skinned. Fiveamprayer, we inherited that--that's why some people, they are bleaching their skin. Doing all of this to figure things out--I'll save you some time, just be yourself! What you see is what you get. It is not your nose, your lips, your complexion or your hair that that they want--it’s your mind! They want your intelligence. They want your wisdom. They want the anointing--no one should judge you by your traits, but that is a philosophy! That's the problem, you can only lead people as far as you've gone yourself. So whatever you learn is where you treat people. In other words, your philosophy determined your perception and your value of people. You have a philosophy--where did you get that from? When Yahusha HaMaschiach came to Rome. He was born into that Roman administration. He was oppressed. His ideas were so foreign to those people--one time He they asked Him who's the greatest? His answer was bring me a child and they put a little child in front of Him. He said the greatest is like this child. This child will do anything that you tell the child to do. Go bring my slippers. Go wash the dishes. Go bring me a glass of water. The child is a servant, one time two of His disciples were over fighting all positions in leadership and He said to them only the rulers of this world love to Most High it over people. It shall not be so among you He says. You've got this idea from Greeks and Romans. They were trying to connive for position. They even tried to get this position ahead of the other ten. They sent their mother. They asked her to ask Him for top positions. These are wicked men in His party fighting for position, why? Greek philosophy. And the Bible says he rebuked them and said to them if you want to be great. you must become the servant of all. That shocked them, that was a different philosophy than Rome. In other words He was saying, it is not about how many people serve you, it's but how many people you serve! Your philosophy is so dangerous that some you don't even know you have it. You are prejudiced and don’t even know that you are prejudiced! You think Greek--even though you speak the Bible. You think Greek because we've been so contaminated by the oppressor that when we took power we just change the color of the oppression. This is the challenge we have and this is why philosophy is so important. Please write this down, the most important component in leadership is philosophy why? Because philosophy determines the mentality of the leader, that means philosophy is the source of the leaders interpretation of life. However the leader’s philosophy interprets life, that's the way he treats people. Philosophy is the substance for leadership valuing systems, the way they value the system. In other words, philosophy guides the leaders concept of self and others. If I think anything about myself, I'm going to treat you that way. To whip a slave and until the back was peeled was no conscience for the oppressor, he was whipping an animal, that's all. How can someone do that? Because of philosophy. To lead six million people into a gas chamber, lock the door and turn the gas on and kill them all. You may think that's horrific, no--if you got a philosophy, you can justify it. In other words, philosophy is so dangerous that you might be caught up and don't even know. How do you treat your people who work for you? What is your philosophy of human value? HaMashiach says, don't just love those who love you, He says love your enemies! This guy took the philosophy to a different level! He said love those who hate you, do good to those who despitefully use you! His philosophy was mind blowing! If someone curses you? He says bless them! Wow, you curse a girl from Queens, New York and get a hand full of curses back! Which includes a response with the fist, if you know what I mean? This is what He says in our kingdom--we have a different philosophy! We love those who hate us. Do good to those who abuse us, write this down. Philosophy is the framework for leaders decision-making. Every government is literally a victim of the philosophy of those in it. And you wonder why people can make certain decisions in leadership, it's because of the philosophy. This is why philosophy is so dangerous!
