Justice Restored

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Revelation 6:5-6

The issue here is that the penny looks like its' finally lost all its' value. You've probably never heard of de-valuation before. Basically the value is how much worth is put on something by how we esteem it. In Christ, when he was esteemed smitten by men and afflicted, we saw him as nothing more than a suffering Savior or a martyr figure really. All that depends on your viewpoint of course between how you see something and what you know them as later. It's gone on back to the value of a person as seen from the start. We'd like to say we all value people quite highly and also their time but do we really. As this whole discussion on the economic sector has shown perhaps there's some justice involved that needs to come forth from the Lord. Even if it doesn't first begin at his house, you know, there's somewhere it should start. What's the best thing that could happen then to the market besides each person getting valued for who they are and what they can do. As justice is brought through the land as a restoring the markets from back out of their opinion, it appears in a number of several forms. The first way that you see is in the land prices fallen all by themselves with no apparent interest based on the land or it's use. Then again, speaking of justice, it so happens that the original owners thereof should have some sort of say. That's a notion of ancestral ownership through shared interests in common as seen in the Levitical law which allowed it to happen. They had this thing that we just saw where Jeremiah could redeem the land of his family for what it was worth. Basically, it was a pay off the debt attached to the land but of course and a clear off their name. It's an idea that seems strange to those in the west as at first. In parts of the world though where individual interest gets lost to the tribe, the tribal identity gets in the way. I mean, why wouldn't it technically speaking when it's tribal lands on which these had lived for many hundreds of thousand years. Basically, the fathers fathers had the run of the land and so too their sons. Alright, so really when you've got a bunch of other new people coming on in, you'll first have to be accepted by much of the tribe. If it's a family house, the same goes for a family of course. It goes without saying, really cause you can't have environmental justice without a regard for say the local laws and customs that have been from the start. That's part of the reason why land prices to Abraham were so high as at first when the local identity had got itself twisted. If you think about it, the same things apply to the markets. The second way value gets shown to the person is through lowered prices attached to everything needed like clothes and food and some shoes. That's not to say the makers of this are suffering really, how could they, when there's the third possible attachment of value hidden in sight. Can you guess what comes next? That's right, it's matters of the same types of the wages. It not only saves money but rotates through a whole bunch of people for whatever hours and times that they're willing to come and work for whatever's most needful. The only time where this system breaks down though is the introduction of skilled manual labor. These are tasks where some training's required to finish. Still though, that's no reason for it to be the same year after year with each one what's called a slave of the system. Then here's the fourth type of valuation attached to the person and that is the family proper. No, you don't think so? It's all come back to where order reigned as at first. I'm not sure how much a measure is except that it's really supposed to be fixed. This prevents what you'd call an inaccurate system of measures where the scrap of the crop has been passed off as whole but in fact. Here though, it's quite the opposite same sort of a system. You'll get three measures of barley for a penny or so and some wheats. Basically, it's enough to bake a whole kit and kaboodle, that is to say a family, some buns in the oven, or some loaves in a pan. Then there's the oil and the wine to be had in the bargain kind of as a garnish then an afterthought later. If that's not value being packed into the penny, I don't know what you'd call it then if not whole disaster of sorts. Certainly the days of picking and choosing between one and the next would long since be over it seems. Then everyone would be selling in plenty, though perhaps making the same as the workers of course. Certainly it'd be a break-even right in the middle or enough to keep the whole thing going right on from there. With prices and wage fixed like this, there's actually more money floating around to each of the sellers due to more people being able to afford the priceage of wares. Then again, it's not really nice, is it, to just have assumed.
