There are times when I don’t know what to tell people about something in the news.
No born-again Christian wants to be a false teacher, but lies, fake news, censorship, war, and unexpected events make it difficult to know what to believe.
More than 30 years ago, I was teaching that the rider on the black horse in Rev. 6:5-6 represents food shortages, famine, and economic disaster.
It wasn’t long until I decided that it was accurate to say that the rider on the black horse represents hyperinflation and a global economic collapse after the Rapture.
I added “after the Rapture” because people were asking me when I thought the global economy would collapse. (Not all agree, but I believe the first six seal judgments take place after the Rapture and early in the Tribulation Period.)
To be clear, I emphasized that I was talking about a “global” economic collapse, not the collapse of one or two individual nations.
I am not qualified to give financial advice or to say much about global financial matters,
It would be easy for me to misunderstand something.
Anyway, I believe the economy of individual nations that don’t have a strong economy (Sri Lanka, Venezuela, Afghanistan, for example) could collapse without triggering a global economic collapse.
But the U.S. economy is so big, if it collapsed, it could cause a global economic collapse.
I am sharing this with you because some so-called experts are saying the U.S. and the world are on the brink of a global economic disaster, and I am wondering if I should ignore what they are saying or pass it on.
With the World Economic Forum saying we will own nothing, and some leaders seemingly trying to deliberately cause an economic collapse, I decided to say something.
So, here are two opinions that I have about what I think is happening:
- First, every economy on earth must change to bring in a system that can track all buying and selling. The U.S. economy is changing, and it is a known fact that the U.S. is looking at a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) right now. So, America’s economic problems could be setting the stage for a new currency.
- Second, Ten Kings (leaders over regions) must rise to power before the Antichrist rises. This requires a weakening of the U.S. and a shift in power toward other groups of nations. It looks like power is shifting away from the U.S. and toward China, Russia, the Middle East, etc., right now.
Here are some recent reports that seem to relate to this and other Bible prophecies.
One, concerning hyperinflation and a global economic collapse: on Nov. 3, 2022, Market Watch reported that Hedge Fund giant Elliott Management notified investors that:
- The world is headed toward the worst financial crisis since World War II.
- The world is on the path to hyperinflation.
- Central Bank policymakers have been dishonest about the cause of high inflation.
- Markets are going to decline, but they can’t predict when.
- Politicians blame the economic problems on supply chain issues and Covid instead of their spending programs.
This financial crisis could be setting the stage for a new currency (CBDC).
Here is a link to the article.
Two, concerning inflation and an economic collapse of the U.S.: on Nov. 3, 2022, Mike Adams (Natural News) expressed his opinion:
- That Pres. Biden snubbed Mohammed bin Salman and so alienated Saudi Arabia that the Saudis have now declared that China (not the U.S.) is its reliable partner for energy and trade. (Put another way, the Saudis don’t trust the U.S. anymore, and they plan to stop using the petrodollar.)
- That the petrodollar (the 1971 agreement for the U.S. to provide military protection to Saudi Arabia in exchange for the Saudis trading their oil for U.S. dollars) will soon end, and that will lead to the collapse of the U.S. dollar.
- That petrodollars are why the U.S. dominates the global economy, and the end of petrodollars by Saudi Arabia and other nations will end U.S. global economic dominance.
- That the end of U.S. global economic dominance will lead to a decline in the dollar’s value, hyperinflation in the U.S., and ultimately the collapse of the dollar.
Adams did not say when he thinks the dollar will collapse, but here is a link to the article.
(My opinion: Saudi Arabia’s shift away from the U.S. and toward China may ultimately lead to a weakening of the U.S. and the strengthening of other groups of nations (Russia, China, Middle East, etc.)
Three, concerning energy shortages: on Oct. 28, 2022, it was reported that companies in New York and New England have started rationing home heating oil.
Four, concerning the deliberate destruction of America’s energy independence and the effort to weaken America: in early Nov. 2022, Pres. Biden said, “We’re going to be shutting these (coal) plants down all across America and having wind and solar power” (Note: Biden said this but without explanation. Biden’s Press Sec. said his words were being “twisted” by the media.)
On Nov. 6, 2022, Biden went to New York to campaign for Kathy Hochul, and he said, “No more drilling. There is no more drilling. I haven’t formed any new drilling.”
These are Biden’s own words, and it is a major reason why the dollar is dying (and the price of gasoline, diesel fuel, utilities, and food will keep going up).
Five, concerning the decline of America: on Nov. 7, 2022, the U.S. Navy raised the enlistment age from 39 to 41 because they can’t attract enough recruits to serve.
Six, concerning persecution: on Nov. 2, 2022, Gary Bauer wrote this in his Campaign for Working Families: End of Day Report:
- “A transgender epidemic is sweeping America’s youth.”
- “The Biden Administration and congressional Democrats are pushing legislation and regulation that gives trans ideology supremacy over everything, including religious liberty.”
- “If you have a religious objection to the bizarre idea that your biology can be ‘changed’ or ‘fixed,’ the left is going to smash you using the full power of government and social media censorship.”
In my words, Bauer said if you believe there are only two genders for religious reasons, you should know that Democrats believe trans ideology is more important than religious freedom, and they will not hesitate to use the power of the government against you.
Seven, concerning the significance of the Israeli election: as of Nov. 2, 2022, former Israeli Prime Min. Benjamin Netanyahu appears to have the support of 62 or more seats (enough to give him a majority in the 120-seat Knesset).
On Nov. 8, 2022, Pres. Herzog will probably designate him to form a government.
Netanyahu will have 4 weeks to do that, and he can request 2 more weeks that Herzog might grant if Netanyahu needs them.
Some estimates indicate that Netanyahu may have won enough support to form a strong, conservative government.
He is more religious and less secular than his predecessors.
With a stronger, more conservative government than he has had in the past (and more religious Jews in his new government), some commentators believe he is likely to expand Jewish freedoms (allow an altar, more prayer, etc.) on the Temple Mount.
Eight, concerning a one-world religion (or global ethic): two weeks ago, I mentioned that representatives from almost 200 nations, the World Economic Forum (WEF), big business, and others were planning to attend the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) in Egypt.
COP27 is scheduled to run from Nov. 6-18, 2022, at Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, which is about 130 miles from Mt. Sinai where God gave the Ten Commandments.
This week, a reader sent me a link to an incredible message by Pastor Brandon Holthaus (Rock Harbor Church; Nov. 4, 2022). “The Whore of Babylon Visits Mt. Sinai” link is https://youtu.be/Nb6MgYEqnqU that I highly recommend to anyone who has the time (almost 60 min. long).
The message is too long for me to share here, but here are a few points from the message as I understood it.
- A group called the Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development that is attending COP 27 is planning to go to Mt. Sinai to release a set of ten commandments on climate change (on Nov. 14, 2022).
- The group has chosen Mt. Sinai because that is where God gave the Ten Commandments in the Bible to Moses.
- The stated goal of their climate change commandments is to add religious guidance (merge religion and politics) to U.N. public policy discussions.
- This appears to be an effort to replace the Ten Commandments in the Bible with ten commandments on climate change and to make their commandments global policy or global law.
- If this group succeeds in making their ten commandments on climate change global policy, they will use them against people that don’t agree with them. (The Bible teaches that those that don’t comply with global policy during the Tribulation Period will be killed.)
- The Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses at Mt. Sinai are God’s eternal law on how a society should be structured, and breaking them is a sin.
- These globalists intend for society to be structured their way, not God’s way.
- This is the Whore of Babylon (the merger of religion and government) taking shape under the guise of saving the planet or Mother Earth (Rev. 17-18).
(My opinion: It is obvious that the globalist plan to Build Back Better is a plan to use Covid, climate change, or whatever to tear down all the societies on earth and replace them with an anti-Jehovah, anti-Christ, anti-Bible government run by atheists and gays. These “reprobate minds” are “without natural affection,” trying to create a god and people in their image. They are “casting truth to the ground,” trying to kill multitudes to reduce the population of the earth, trying to reset the economy to gain control of everyone, etc. God will remove the “Restrainer,” give them 7 years to accomplish their goals, and it will be the worst failure in history.)
(More: I am not a prophet, but since these globalists are going to Mt. Sinai to replace the Ten Commandments, it wouldn’t surprise me if they decided to build a headquarters for their global religion and global economic system at Babylon. They don’t need a lot of time to do it, and it might not happen before the Rapture, but time will tell.)
Nine, concerning world government and religion: the move to get rid of the Ten Commandments is also a move to get rid of the entire Bible, Jehovah, and Jesus.
On Nov. 4, 2022, it was reported that a cross depicting the crucifixion of Jesus in a room in Germany where Foreign Ministers of the G7 nations (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and the U. S.) holds regular meetings has been removed for all of their meetings.
According to the article, the Foreign Minister of Germany removed the cross “because Western elites no longer want to be reminded of their Christian faith or history.”
Finally, are you Rapture Ready?
If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
