Introduction


As the current financial system is in collapse, the threat of famine, war and chaos in the world becomes a real possibility. Also nature is destroyed on a massive scale as rainforests are burned down, sees are fished empty and chemicals are spread. It therefore is not a coincidence that the End of Times is predicted to be on December 21, 2012 (see also: Naturalmoney.org - Mayan prophecy). The good news is that the End of Times can also be a new beginning.

The current financial system is based on the US dollar which is based on the debt of the United States. This debt can never be repaid because the US has to add debt to keep the world economy going. Now the US citizens do not have the ability to add debt any more. A collapse of the world economy is therefore a realistic possibility. In the past, the same mistakes have been made over and over again by basing money on gold or debt. This resulted in unnecessary bubbles and defaults. Now a real alternative has become available.



The stunning perfection of Natural Money


A few months ago I wrote an article on Natural Money based on the theory of Silvio Gesell. This article can be read using the following link: Naturalmoney.org - A far more efficient economic system is possible. The complete theory of the Natural Financial System can be read using the following link: Naturalmoney.org - Natural Economic Order: Complete theory. Many readers posed questions and I answered them, leaving me to wonder why there were always perfect answers for all types of questions on the Natural Financial System. The questions and answers can be found here: Naturalmoney.org - Questions and answers on 12 steps article.

The perfection of the Natural Financial System is quite shocking to observe. If one country starts to use Natural Money, in time all other countries in the world will be forced to adopt the same system. After coming into existence, the Natural Financial System cannot be destroyed any more. This is a deterministic process. At some point in the future the Natural Financial System will become the dominant financial system of the world. The only question is: When will the first country start adopting it?

Natural Money will make it possible to solve the acute financial, social and environmental problems we face now:
- Natural Money will save nature and the earth by promoting sustainable investment and recycling;
- Natural Money will end unemployment without government intervention;
- Natural Money will free people and countries from debt slavery;
- Natural Money will create a stable economy not needing government or central bank intervention;
- Natural Money will end senseless economic activities in the money system which destroy the economy;
- Natural Money will result in a dramatic rise in government income which makes it easy to lower taxes and address all social problems in society;
- Natural Economies will outcompete all other kinds of economies.

Sceptics may argue that I live in fantasy land. That may be true, but then I have good company. Here are some quotes of famous economists and scientists:
- "I thoroughly enjoyed Silvio Gesell's brilliant style. The creation of money that cannot be hoarded will lead to a different and more real kind of property."
Professor Albert Einstein, Nobel Prize Winner
- "Gesell's name will be a leading name in history once it has been disentangled."
H.G. Wells
- "The application of Gesell's principle of circulation of money will lead the nation out of the depression within two to three weeks. I am a humble student of this German-Argentine businessman."
Professor Irving Fisher, Yale University, America's greatest economist
- "I believe that the future will learn more from the spirit of Gesell than from that of Marx."
John Maynard Keynes
- "Gesell's work will initiate a new epoch in the history of mankind."
Prof. Dr. B. Uhlemayr
- "Gesell's discoveries and proposals are of the greatest importance for centuries to come."
Dr. Theophil Christen, eminent mathematician and physicist, Berne



Asenath and Natural Money


The Natural Financial System is the most efficient monetary system ever designed and it will create the most efficient economy possible. How can this be? Money with a holding tax was first introduced when Joseph was viceroy of Egypt around 3,500 years ago (see also: Naturalmoney.org - Money of the natural economic order). Moreover Judaism, Christianity and Islam have been opposed to usury, which is the charging of interest on money (see also: Naturalmoney.org - Scripture references to usury, interest). The holding tax and the ban on usury form the essence of the Natural Financial System.

Therefore it is safe to assume that if God exists, the Natural Financial System was designed by God. This turned out to be true (see also: God is a woman and Jesus was Her husband). When the Natural Financial System was first introduced, Joseph was married to Asenath. She was the daughter of the high-priest Poti-Pherah. The Bible does not explain much of Her, but there is an apocryphal expansion of the Book of Genesis's account of the marriage of Asenath and Joseph (see also: The story of Asenath - Eugene Mason). This story indicates that Asenath was an unusual woman and that supernatural events surrounded Her marriage with Joseph .

Even though She was the daughter of the Egyptian high-priest Poti-Pherah, Asenath renounced the Egyptian idols and She did not fear the consequences. The events surrounding Her marriage with Joseph suggest that this event was important. Asenath was God and She wanted to hide this by pretending that She was converting to the Jewish faith. Joseph was a handsome man (Gen. 39:6-7). Many women including Potifars wife had a crush on him (Quran 12:30-31). It is remarkable that the good looks of Joseph are not only mentioned in Genesis, but are even more extensively elaborated in The Quran. To God his looks must have been worth mentioning.

There are strong indications that God used pop music to send messages to humanity (see also: Naturalmoney.org - Messages in pop music). Therefore the songs The stranger song of Leonard Cohen [2] and Under African skies of Paul Simon [1] indicate that Asenath was God. Asenath being God explains how the Natural Financial System came into existence when Joseph ruled Egypt (see also: Bernard Lietaer - A strategy for a convertible currency).

Joseph took all the money from the Egyptians (Gen. 47:14-15) so they had to invent an alternative currency. This situation is similar to the beginning of the Middle Ages in Europe, where money effectively ceased to exist. The circumstances were also similar to the situation to Wörgl during the Great Depression, where money effectively ceased to function. The Natural Financial System in Egypt remained there for more than 1,500 years. It did not collapse in the end but was forcibly replaced by Roman money when the Romans took control over Egypt. Therefore the Natural Financial System must have been very stable and satisfactory.



Rediscovery and introduction


The invention of the Natural Financial System was not intended by Joseph and therefore it is not recorded in The Bible. However the result must have been anticipated by God because the Natural Financial System seems to be a part of Her plan for the End of Times. The Natural Financial System remained undiscovered for nearly 2,000 years until the historian Friedrich Preisigke rediscovered it around 1910. At the same time Silvio Gesell was working on the same concept as part of the Natural Economic Order.

The songs Democracy of Leonard Cohen [1], First we take Manhattan of Leonard Cohen [1] and Long road out of Eden of the Eagles [1] seem to indicate that the United States will be the first country to change. The song Sleepwalking of Gerry Rafferty [3] seems to indicate that the Natural Financial System will be implemented. The economy of the United States is based on consumption and debt expansion. The United States is at the verge of a debt collapse, while the political system is corrupted by corporate interests. Therefore the United States is the most likely candidate for being the first country to introduce the Natural Financial System.



Conclusion


Earth can do without humans but humans cannot live without Earth. If humanity is to survive, the Natural Financial System should become the economic system of the future. Natural Money is invented by God. The design seems to be perfect. Natural Money will become the power that brings down the current economic order based on usury. The Natural Financial System can be used to create a situation resembling Paradise.

Even if you do not believe in God, it is still quite clear that the Natural Financial System can be used solve the acute financial, social and environmental problems we face now. Eventually one or more countries will start to use Natural Money and then the Natural Financial System will become the predominant financial system of the world because of markets will enforce this. Even if you do not believe in the end of times, it is still quite clear that the economic crisis can result in war and that mankind is destroying nature.
