RAPTURE READY
The Dow Jones Index fell more than 500 points on Thursday just past. Panicked European markets started the slide, and it is uncertain where the plunge will end. Fear is on the rise that a Great Depression-type economic crash is coming. Even the normally optimistic talk-show host Rush Limbaugh, who pontificates from his radio bully-pulpit about America’s resilience against cyclical damage to the economy by liberal presidential administrations, is heard these days grumbling in undertones of trepidation. He worries about America’s chances of survival with regard to the current debt crisis and the government’s refusal or inability to stop the profligate spending. No sooner had President Obama signed the just-passed legislation to raise the nation’s debt ceiling, thus averting U.S. financial default, than monetary markets around the globe began reacting negatively. Wall Street stocks fell more than 2 percent. Japan’s Nikkei fell approximately the same amount. Standard & Poor’s economic outlook presented a bleak assessment; Moody’s ratings service placed Washington’s AAA credit score under a “negative outlook.” Dagong, China’s credit agency, downgraded America’s credit from A+ to A. The S&P downgraded U.S. credit rating on debt over the weekend to AA. No matter whether there is a temporary eventual uptick from these negative reactions, it is obvious that America’s influence on the world’s financial markets is profound, just as we have said in these Nearing Midnight columns time after time. The monetary moguls of planet earth are not favorably impressed with this nation’s printing of more money to cover debts. No other nation in history has long been able to sustain such economic madness without collapse. Now is different from any other threatened collapse because America’s crash would bring the entire world imploding to unprecedented depression. The intricately linked ties every nation has to this economically crippled colossus called America finds the fiscal movers and shakers of the world doing much the same things many lesser mortals are doing these days as they cast their wary glances at the bleak outlook. While many average Joes are buying silver, gold, and other tangible commodities, and some are storing food and preparing to survive what they see as a coming world economic collapse, the power brokers at the top are prepping in their own special ways. They have been doing so for some time. The monetary masters of the world know–have known for some time—that the current way of money manipulation is unsustainable. Things have got to give at some point. As Todd and I have many times discussed, it is utterly amazing that America’s, thus the world’s, economy hasn't long since come crashing down. It is my contention that it is not these economic gurus at the top that have been able to prevent such a collapse, but the very hand of God that is holding things together –allowing the massive bubble of pseudo-prosperity to build. For whatever the reason the fall hasn’t come, the financial finaglers are more than aware that a crisis could bring cataclysm in terms of economic destruction. These are using the phenomenal technologies that have developed over recent years to prepare for such catastrophe, on a much grander scale than are the average Joes who are prepping for bad times ahead. The collapse is coming; of that they are certain. The key in their prepping, I believe, is control. They want above all else to maintain control as things tumble. They want to be sure things are in place to bring the economic structure of their world down in a somewhat orderly manner so the framework and substance of their wealth aren’t scattered and far-flung. They want to have all materials within easy reach so as to be able to begin immediately reconstructing their kingdom to their liking. It is interesting that the mindset of such planning encompasses the entire political spectrum, left to right. As a matter of fact, it is a conservative initiative that is at the nucleus of one such element to help control monetary matters at the basic consumer level through advanced technology. Internet providers would be forced to keep logs of their customers' activities for one year--in case police want to review them in the future--under legislation that a U.S. House of Representatives committee approved today. The 19 to 10 vote represents a victory for conservative Republicans, who made data retention their first major technology initiative after last fall's elections, and the Justice Department officials who have quietly lobbied for the sweeping new requirements…the information that commercial Internet providers are required to store to include customers' names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and temporarily-assigned IP addresses, some committee members suggested. By a 7-16 vote, the panel rejected an amendment that would have clarified that only IP addresses must be stored. It represents "a data bank of every digital act by every American" that would "let us find out where every single American visited Web sites," said Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California. ("Source: House Panel Approves Broadened ISP Snooping Bill," CNET News, 8/1/11.) The intrusion into the lives of and control of the American consumer has long been in development. Computers and the public's ever-increasing integration with the Internet through commercial transaction is one of many technological wonders that will give the would-be masters the control they believe they need to affect a manageable collapse of the U.S. and global economies, when such a fall eventuates. The prepping continues apace, and the technologies for economic bondage are progressing geometrically. However, God’s prophetic Word foretells a different scenario for the ultimate system of control that will come from present planning by the globalist elitists–the Antichrist system of Revelation 13:16-18. Daniel the prophet was given the prophecy through God’s angel, who interpreted for him Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream involving history’s world geopolitical/socioeconomic kingdoms. In foretelling what would become of man’s attempt to establish a one-world government that excludes Almighty God, Daniel was told to prophesy the following. Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. (Daniel 2:31-35) All the prepping done by the would-be world architects who plan to bring about a new economic order from the coming collapse is destined for failure. Their attempt at rebuilding, leaving God out of their plans, will be crushed by the returning King of all kings –the Lord Jesus Christ. The only prepping that can assure a safe, secure future is the preparation already accomplished by Jesus Christ. He did it all on the cross at Calvary nearly two thousand years ago. He is the ark that will provide shelter from the destruction that is coming. Terry Aug 8, 2011
