Been pondering this current economy and climate and how it
lines up with scripture and perhaps got a prophetic thought.
Let's look at the current climate and how it lines up with prophesy:
"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart
of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not
harm the oil and the wine.'' (Revelation 6:6)
Now, in the literal, this indicates that money is devalued to the point that a
denarius (day's pay) will only buy bread. As we are seeing in the world, the
spiraling of costs could bring us to a point of poverty. It's not hard to
foresee that, left uncontrolled, that people will barely be able to live. Today
we are struggling, but tomorrow?
It's more than foreclosures - in good faith people leave their foreclosed homes
- but, in a future where people cannot afford even bread, they are either living
in the streets, on government living, or illegally in homes that may not be
their own. It does not point towards a rosy picture, but in the literal it may
be in our future.
Rise of the World Leader / Anti-Christ::
"He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest
places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor
his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches;
and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time."
(Daniel 11:24)
This attests to the control of the Anti-Christ / World-Leader who will control
the money. The poor will be poor ( Jesus said, "You will always have the poor
with you.") The rich will get richer. Sheep will be separated from Goats
(spiritually) at this time and the Goats will have plunder, spoil, and riches
laid on them to deceive them. The Federal Reserve and the World Bank are such
institutions that control money. Today, the banks do not have cash on hand
so that they can issue any new credit. That is the gist of the economic
issue... people buy on credit and no one has cash to back it up. Full ownership
of your property is necessary ( to not be in bondage ) but it's also necessary
that people make new purchases to stay alive, like buying
food-transportation-and shelter. So you need a cash society, or a different
credit method like "the mark" which is centrally managed. But... central
management may indicate the failure of government with government cash and
government backed credits. How does that play in?
Kingdoms:
The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom
on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall
devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces. The ten horns
are ten kings who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another [the Anti-Christ] shall
rise after them; he shall be different from the first ones, and shall subdue
three kings. He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall
persecute the saints of the Most High (Daniel 7:23-25a)
"And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the
transgressors have reached their fullness, a king shall arise, having fierce
features, Who understands sinister schemes. His power shall be mighty, but not
by his own power; he shall destroy fearfully, and shall prosper and
thrive; he shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people [persecute
the saints]. Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper under his
hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their
prosperity. " (Daniel 8:23-25a)
"He shall have power over the treasures of gold
and silver, (Daniel 11:43)
Now this is where it gets interesting... I had clearly seen where the world
would need to "group" to create the "ten kings" that would arise from
this last kingdom. The thought was that we would have NAFTA (North American
Free Trade Agreement - kingdom) and SAFTA (South American Free Trade Agreement -
kingdom) and similar kingdoms for Pakistan/India (Indian Ocean region), EU
(Europe), Russia, China, Japan (Offshore islands, perhaps) as the examples. But
a couple of interesting things are happening.
but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the
kingdom by intrigue. (Daniel 11:21)
Last year, Zimbague had their debt released by the World Bank as a method to try
to keep people living. The government just could not afford to stay afloat.
Today Iceland may be hitting a bankruptcy position where it cannot survive any
longer. In the US presidential debates, you have been hearing that 500 billion
dollars of bail out money for the US GOVERNMENT has come from China. Perhaps my
thinking was wrong. These will be be kingdoms FORMED by free-traded agreements,
but kingdoms that devour other kingdoms. Can you imagine the USA being "bought"
by China in the same way that the US government has bought the debt of Wall
street? ( Obama said, he would look for a world solution to America's financial
crisis. )
Helpless:
Why all this writing... because, the time of the end is here.
If the USA is bought up, not able to sustain the US government, then we are
truly in a world crisis. That doesn't mean that you don't own your home any
more. That doesn't mean that you won't have an economy, of sorts. What that
means is that when the day comes when ISRAEL calls for U.S. military help,
our rulers (China) will say, "NO MORE DEBT". The US will be "peacefully"
helpless to participate and Israel will stand alone.
"And they gathered them together to the place
called in Hebrew, Armageddon. Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into
the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne,
saying, "It is done!'' (Revelation 16:16-17)
He shall destroy many in their prosperity. he shall
even rise against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without human
hand. (Daniel 8:25)
yet he shall come to his end, and no one will
help him. ( Daniel 11:45)
The USA is the primary backer of Israel. The USA, generally, understands the
spiritual principle that we should bless Israel, and not curse lest the curse
would come upon our own heads. So where this leaves us is wondering,
needing to find our forgiveness before the Lord. Asking for his favor once
again upon the USA, but not just as a physical blessing, but also as favor in
our families and among our neighbors. Remember, God knows what we need
so that our physical blessing will come when our spiritual life is put in
order. Sometimes, we pray in error asking for the physical and not trying to
fix the spiritual. We can get spiritual help from the Lord who said the Holy
Spirit would be given liberally to those who ask. I guess, we're not asking
for the right thing.
Maybe we need to be more vocal now. Instead of ending a speach, "And God bless
America," we should be asking, "And Holy Spirit come to lead and guide
America." I for one, believe that now is the time to change things in hearts
and in our churches. Let's get the message out. TELL SOMEONE.
