Have the 50 States been reduced to one United STATE run by 5 supreme despots? Jefferson warned of a judiciary “DESPOTIC branch”. Popular culture describes America as a democracy. Scholars clarify it is a constitutional republic. But in a sense, America is neither. It has transitioned to being run as a despotism.
Webster’s Dictionary defines “despotism” as: “Absolute and arbitrary authority… independent of the control of men.”
Thomas Jefferson warned in a letter to William Jarvis, Sept. 28, 1820:
“You seem … to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the DESPOTISM of an oligarchy.”
Jefferson added:
“Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so … and their power (is) the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control.
The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with corruptions of time and party, its members would become DESPOTS.”

The five books of Moses are unquestionably the most venerated of texts the world over. Jewish sects all give the Torah highest honor, even if the sects can’t agree on anything else. Christians also hold the Torah in high regard, and Jesus repeatedly authenticated its five books by attributing them to Moses. Jesus quotes from the Torah more than any other portion of Scripture, and that should get our attention.
Every book of the Bible is precious. The entire Bible is supernatural, breathed by the Spirit of God for you and me. The Torah speaks to all of us, not just to people of Jewish background and not simply as an Old Testament background of the New Testament.
These 66 books are an integrated message system, a message penned by 40 different men over thousands of years, yet every detail, every word, every place name is there by the deliberate design of the Creator of the Universe. Once you begin to discover that for yourself (and not just because somebody like me says so), you find that the whole Bible ties together in an astounding, remarkable way. The Torah and the Prophets anticipate details of events that happened hundreds and thousands of years later. The entire book ties together. This tells us that the origin of this message is from outside the dimensionality of time itself.
The five books of Moses are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. These first five books of the Bible are collectively called the Torah, or the Law. Sometimes scholars call them by the Greek term, the Pentateuch.
