Chapter 9
Article 6The Supreme Law of the Land?
Section 1
,
Clause 1
All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the confederation.
Debt Perpetuity vs
.
Debt Cancellation
The United States Constitution provided for debt perpetuity, whereas Yahweh’s
1
law provides for debtcancellation. Every seventh year (known as the sabbatical year) Yahweh requires the cancellation of alldebts:
At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. …Every creditor that lendeth oughtunto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; becauseit is called
YHWH
’s
2
release…. If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren withinany of thy gates in thy land which
YHWH
thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart,nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shaltsurely lend him sufficient for his need…. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart,saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand … and thou givest him nought; and he cryunto
YHWH
against thee, and it be sin unto thee. Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shallnot be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing
YHWH
thy God shall blessthee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. For the poor shall never cease outof the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother,to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. (Deuteronomy 15:1-11)

It is sometimes taught that this Fourth Commandment statute
4
is merely a one-year moratorium on debt.In other words, collection of debts is suspended during the sabbatical year and reinstated the followingyear. Those who hold this position maintain that if debt is totally cancelled every seventh year, includingthe forty-ninth year, no debt would remain to be cancelled on the fiftieth or Jubilee year. This argument is based upon the false assumption that the fiftieth-year release applies to the same type of debt that isforgiven in the forty-ninth year. In
To Heal a Nation
, J. Franklin Snook clarified the difference betweenthe debts released on the seventh (including the forty-ninth) year and the fiftieth year:
The Sabbath principle also applies to the Jubilee year, which occurs after every seventh seven-year  period – that is, the fiftieth year. On the 49th year all debts are cancelled as on each seventh year, but on the 50th, or Jubilee year all land that has been sold (actually leased) during the previous 49years reverts to the original family who possessed it.

The seventh-year release is not a moratorium, but a cancellation of all private and public debts. If theconstitutional framers and today’s politicians were earnest about balancing the budget, they would haveturned to Yahweh’s laws for the seventh-year Sabbath and its cancellation of debt. Rather than choosingthe only means by which America’s current budget can ever be balanced, the politicians have opted toshackle future generations with today’s debt.Today’s ungodly, usurious economic system
6
compounds the problem with each passing year. Under Yahweh’s economic system, the budget would never be unbalanced for more than six years. Inflation andrecessions would all but disappear. One can only imagine the prosperity Americans would enjoy under such a system. In fact, Yahweh promises that if we obey His laws, we will never experience a deficit.Rather than being the world’s greatest debtor nation, as we our now, America would again be the greatestlending nation, as she was in the past when she adhered more closely to Yahweh’s laws:
…if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of 
YHWH
thy God, to observe to do all thesecommandments …
YHWH
[will bless] thee … and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thoushalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.(Deuteronomy 15:5-6)
Section 1
,
Clause 2
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; andall treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be thesupreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, any thing in theconstitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.
Supreme Law
Historian George Bancroft wrote the following concerning this supreme law of the land:
Here is not a transient compact between parties: it is the institution of government by an act of thehighest sovereignty; the decree of many who are yet one; their law of laws, inviolably supreme….

Random House Webster’s College Dictionary and Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the EnglishLanguage, respectively, define the word “supreme”:
1. highest in rank or authority; paramount; sovereign; chief…. 3. greatest, utmost, or extreme. 4.last or final; ultimate.
8
Highest in authority; holding the highest place in government or power.
9
Simply put: there is
no
greater authority than that which is supreme, and the constitutional framers wouldhave operated from an understanding of these definitions, particularly the second one, when they pennedClause 2.To declare that the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land is essentially no different from whatthe Prophet Daniel’s conspirators declared to King Darius in Daniel 6:12-15, when they claimed therewas no greater law than that of the Medes and Persians. This convinced Darius to cast Daniel into the
 
lion’s den – even though he knew Daniel did not deserve such treatment. The law of the Medes andPersians, not Yahweh’s law, was supreme in Darius’ heart.The constitutional framers were completely cognizant of the word “supreme” and its meaning when theydeclared the supremacy of the U.S. Constitution, thereby making the laws of Yahweh subservient to thelaws of 
WE THE PEOPLE
.
Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, welldid Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, andhonoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me,teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (Matthew 15:6-9)
The framers and today’s leaders pay homage to the traditions and commandments of men as the supremelaw of the land. Even the Pharisees of Yeshua’s
10
day were not so bold as those who wrote the U.S.Constitution.Constitutionalists who claim to be Christians
11
will predictably add “under God” or “under the Bible” tothe declaration in Clause 2. But their authority to do so is not derived from either the Bible or the U.S.Constitution. Do not forget that the Constitution makes no mention of the God of the Bible. This isanother futile attempt by Christians to make the U.S. Constitution a Christian document. How can aConstitutionalist claim to be a Christian, a servant and ambassador of the King of kings, and
not 
attemptto add those clauses? This is a classic case of trying to serve two masters. Either the Constitution must berejected because it never was subservient to Yahweh’s law, or Yahweh’s law must be rejected because itdemands that any inferior constitution be subject to its supreme law.If you choose to promote the United States Constitution on its own merit, that is your prerogative. But if you choose to promote the Constitution as a biblically based document, that is deception and subterfuge.Anyone who chooses the former becomes an idolater; anyone who chooses the latter attempts to provide biblical sanction for his idolatry.
Supreme God
To claim that the Constitution of 
WE THE PEOPLE
is the supreme law of the land renders
Yahweh subservient to
WE THE PEOPLE 
. This is essentially the same sin Adam and Eve committed in the Gardenof Eden, and a reversal of what occurred in the first-century:
…These [Christians] that have turned the world upside down are come hither also … and these alldo contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus. (Acts 17:6-7)
A supreme law can only come from a supreme being. Therefore, the claim that the U.S. Constitution is thesupreme law of the land is another witness to the clandestine assertion in the Preamble that
WE THEPEOPLE
is the god of the United States government. Accordingly, it must be the god of anyone todaywho looks to the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. (See Chapter 3concerning the implications of 
WE THE PEOPLE as
a deity.) Constitutionalists obviously do not believe the following scriptures:
Thine, O
YHWH
, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty:for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O
YHWH
, and thou artexalted as head above all. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and inthine hand is power and might…. (1 Chronicles 29:11-12)
