Biblical Families is a site dedicated to Scriptural understanding and support of marriage, in accord with the Word of God. As such, many of us come from different backgrounds, and may bring a different perspective to other topics -- in particular, such things as prophecy and economics.
But those things DO affect our families, and our lives. Whether or not we understand how world events will unfold over the next few years, and whether or not these are the "last days", there is no question that economic implosions and dislocations now in progress will dramatically affect our families and our lives.
The following article, which I will link below after a bit of an introduction, will help illustrate something which has been a focus of my study and prayer lately, and hopefully help clarify and support as well what I lay out here.
Even years ago, when I did an economics and law-oriented talk show with ultimately a Biblical bent, I talked about the danger of a fiat money system (dishonest weights and measures), the ultimate collapse of our debt and real estate bubble, and the threat that our now $2 Trillion exposure to communist China represents (debtor is slave to the lender).
That the level of continued illegal manipulation of the bond, stock, and commodity markets has not yet resulted in a total collapse is not encouraging. Had the markets been allowed to collapse and correct years ago, the ultimate carnage would not have been as severe as what must now occur.
But that, ultimately, is what distinguishes a mere "great" Depression from a Collapse of the magnitude necessary to deceive even the "elect" and usher in a truly worldwide, Satanic, "Beast" government.
Jim talks about economics specifically, rather than the Bible. But I have found his work insightful, accurate, and in general very consistent with a Biblical worldview. His comments are worth reading, and even his speculation is valuable. What I believe God showed me this morning after reading this article has to do with this part of the process which is now unfolding.
Please read this, and in particular his comments about the upcoming Chinese currency actions with the following in mind:
China owns over $2 trillion in US dollar-denominated debt; to attempt to divest itself of that quickly would devastate their "investment" as well as the US dollar itself. And they have, and will, cooperate behind-the-scenes in illicit market manipulation in order to achieve their political, economic, and military aims. While they have been buying gold, for example, to do so too openly or rapidly would be counter productive.
Satan knows, now, about a "house divided against itself". Movement toward a global currency, and a global economic control regime, is consistent with the "mark" described in Revelation. Oh - and "the debtor is slave to the lender":

"A prudent [man] foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished." (both Proverbs 22:3, and 27:12)
