What
does the Kingdom look like?
“No
man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love
the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24
Mammon is not money, although money may
represent a form of mammon. Mammon is entrusted wealth.
We have seen that the corporate state and its enfranchised citizenry
are parts of the corpus of the state. Like the camp of the
golden calf, all wealth is bound under the authority of the civil
state. Jesus compares God and mammon as two masters, both
requiring service.
“And
I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of
unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into
everlasting habitations.” Luke 16:9
If you are bound to the mammon, or
corpus of the modern civil state, you are given a similar
alternative today. Jesus tells us to be friends with the unrighteous
mammon for, when it fails, we will be received into everlasting
tabernacles, or tents.
In other words, if you are a selfish, disobedient cheat under the
system of the unrighteous mammon, you will probably do the same with
God.
There is another clue to “mammon”
in this statement. He speaks of it “failing” as a sure
thing that will happen. For this reason, as much as any other, we
should seek the Kingdom and its righteousness. Rather than seeking
the Truth of God’s Kingdom on earth, men heed not his prophetic
warnings and follow after their own pernicious ways. If they knew
that these systems of Mammon have plagued the history of man since
before the Corban and Qorban of Herod and Caesar or the flesh pots
of Egypt, they might have pursued another path.
Paul tells us what to do if we find
ourselves a servant to mammon or anything or anyone else.
“Art
thou called [being] a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be
made free, use [it] rather.” 1 Corinthians 7:21
