Listen To The Preacher!
by David Tanner
I've got a friend out on the left coast, Norman Willis, that has a ministry named Nazarene Israel. Norman is a great bible teacher as well as a student of history and current events. Below I am reprinting a little bit of one of his recent updates to his readers. (I will not be posting anything else until Wednesday so that this post will have every opportunity to be discovered by those who do not visit my site on a daily basis.)

It's a sad state of affairs when a minister of the gospel can give you a better lesson on economics than the media or academia. But then again, as I think about it, why should this be surprising? Was not Daniel a trusted advisor to Babylon and Persia. Was not Joseph a trusted economic advisor to Egypt?

Actually, if the truth be told, my decision ten years ago to go into the gold business was not a product of my college education and superior intelligence (and good looks), but simply from the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Anyway, I encourage you to check out Norman's site after you finish reading the following:

Trust: and then Prepare in Him.

Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 33:6
6 "But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand."

I choose my words carefully, and try hard to avoid doing or saying anything that might panic people (as I do not think that would be responsible). However, YHWH tells us that if we see a sword approaching and say nothing, then we are liable. That would obviously do no good for anyone, so having prayed about this for some time, I feel I need to send out this email.

In a nutshell, it is common knowledge that Satan and his servants are working hard to establish a secular New World Order. In the post "See That You Are Not Troubled", we can see the New World Order approaching rapidly. Many believe the New World Order will finally be brought to power through a large-scale economic crash, coupled with food shortages. From my limited vantage point this appears to be a very realistic scenario; and the stage is almost set. For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, it is time to get ready.

Reference the post "The End is Not Yet", I do not believe that America will disintegrate or descend into total martial law, because America and Israel are still prophesied to fight together in a war against a common Islamic aggressor (and win, praise YHWH). However, a variety of ' Biblical scale' events are getting ready to unfold worldwide; and an economic crash, food shortages and a major devaluation of the US dollar do seem very realistic at this time.

How did the dollar get to the point of being devalued, and how did the nation get to the brink of economic collapse? The problem, in a nutshell, is that the nation has over-spent itself. The situation is analogous to a man who has bought the world on credit and can no longer make the payments.

The problem is that while an individual can declare bankruptcy, a nation cannot. The only real recourse that a nation has when it reaches the uttermost limits of its ability to pay on credit is to crank up the printing presses, and print its way out of debt. However, this leads essentially to inflation, or even hyperinflation. We seem to be headed that way. The only reason the economists currently talk about deflation is because of the large negative adjustment that took place when the housing market collapsed. There was a huge crash in real estate, and it has over-compensated for increasing prices in the rest of the market.

The following PowerPoint presentation discusses how the same kind of thing took place in Argentina recently. Although it used to be the world's Number #2 economy, Argentina experienced 3000% inflation around a decade ago. The sobering part is that America is following the exact same pattern, and appears to be perfectly on track for the same sort of crisis. The present administration's quadrupling of the already burgeoning deficit only served to 'sign and seal' a coming inflationary crisis.

We do need to prepare. But more than anything, we need to be right with YHWH. First and foremost we need to trust in Him, and do what He says. And if He should lead us to pray, and then to prepare, let us do all that He instructs, to be ready to provide not just for ourselves, but for others of His people as well.

May YHWH be with us, bless and guide us all.

In Yeshua’s name,

Amein.
