rules for us when we have given money to others as a loan. ---If it is your faithful brother or
sister the Lord says remember the 7 year release of debt period. ---From the unfaithful you can lend and
expect. But, remember, they also can become faithful in the meantime. There is
a risk. ---One of the governors of the Bible
that was very angry about the high interest rates is Nehemiah. ---He ordered the Jews to stop charging
interest and give people back their property. ---The way it happened is that according
to the Murashu Brothers Financial Services in the Persian Period, and we have
many texts from them dealt with by Walther stolper, a Persian Period
cuneiformist from the Chicago University, is that they had many people in debt.
---What we learned is that wives of
bankrupt ones were incarcerated or jailed and then others needed to come and
pay to get them out. ---It was very oppressive. ---The texts are dating to exactly the
time of Nehemiah. But at the same time Nehemiah made his ruling in Israel to
stop this, the cuneiform texts display a drop in these practices by the Murashu
Brothers Financial Services in Persia. ---The Bible is fascinatingly true. ---Are there Nehemiah’s in your area?
Are you a Nehemiah? Can you forgive a spiritual brother or sister’s debt
against you or part of it? ---Can you reduce the load of burden for
others? ---Christ did for you. He took all your
burdens. Right?
