The World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization are often referred to as the Bretton Woods Institutions. The Bretton Woods system of monetary management established the rules for commercial and financial relations among the United States, Canada, Western European countries, Australia, and Japan after the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement.

In the history of banking from Assyria to Sumeria with temples becoming depositories for the wealth of nations the need for uniform systems of lending and exchanging money became essential to those with a desire for power. This power was coveted by the ambitious rulers and acquiesced to by those who desired security over freedom through the offer of social safety nets through the power of the state.

Just as religion had always been tied to the welfare of the people the welfare state has been useful in establishing influence if not power over the people.

The temple of Artemis at Ephesus was the largest depository of Asia and after the failure of Mithridates to check the growing power of Rome there was aa serious banking crisis in Ephesus when the ancient banking industry received its first express, historically-documented privilege of a ten-year deferment on the return of deposits.[1]

Ten years is a long bank holiday but it altered the course of history. Understanding the role of these institutions like Ephesus in history and the Christian conflict reveals the danger of a social safety net through the power of civil government and why the way of Christ was seen as such a threat to the old world order when it was the New World order.


The idea of a social contract is as old as the Ten Commandments which warned against making covenants with inhabitants and their gods. But for at "least four millennia, encompassing the Code of Hammurabi, Plato’s Republic, and the European Enlightenment when, among others, Jean‑Jacques Rousseau used the term in his 1762 book, On the Social Contract.... History suggests that the discussion about the social contract is most active in times of broad economic, social, and political upheaval."[2]


So, every Great Reset will require a "broad economic, social, and political upheaval" in the social contract and social safety net.

"Some of the extensive research on the social contract advocates the government’s responsibility for providing goods and services, primarily those that individuals cannot provide themselves or that are frequently underprovided by private sources, such as economic infrastructure and social welfare.[3] For some political philosophers, the rationale for government involvement in the social safety net is to protect its citizens from risks beyond their control such as unemployment, poverty, and insufficient savings in retirement, among others. Others think it is to ensure equality of outcome, for example. However, the generosity of the social safety net is the subject of much debate.[4] Proponents of fiscal prudence, such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, assert that the government should set a course between investing in the social safety net and maintaining a healthy balance sheet."[5] A third approach sees the government as an investor in its citizens..."[2]

There was ample warnings in the Bible concerning social safety nets established through covetous practices[6] of men who call themselves Benefactors but exercise authority one over the other[7] because they are a snare and a trap[8] that makes men merchandise entangling them again in the yoke of bondage.

Abraham brought "many souls" out of the clutches of Sumerian Ur, Haran, and Sodom. Moses delivered a nation from the bondage of Egypt. And Jesus set the captive from the Corban of Rome, Herod and the Pharisees through the Corban of Christ which was a daily ministration of the social safety net of pure Religion based on faith, hope, and charity rather than the civil law.
