By Alan Franklin.Have you seen how world stock markets are wildly gyrating? One day is a day of disaster, with the screens all flashing red and dealers sell, sell, sell! Then a nation like the USA or China pumps some more "liquidity" into the system and suddely blue skies are here again and all is well. The screens turn green. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. We are heading for the Greater Depression I have been predicting since 2006.
These are not normal times, in society, in stock markets, in politics and, most importantly, in the church. The day of reckoning is almost upon us and at its root is a spiritual malaise, with major denominations appointing homosexual clergy, condoning same sex "marriage" and generally inviting the world into the church, how can our countries flourish? The rot always starts with the church. When the church at large ceases to preach the Gospel Truth you get the mess that we see all around us. This is compounded when most mainline denominations claim that the church has replaced Israel in God's plan, despite numerous scriptural assertions to the contrary.
If people no longer accept the Biblical definition of right or wrong you get corruption, in banking, politics and throughout our nations. The USA and the United Kingdom were once run on broadly Biblical lines, with clear notions of right and wrong. Once God was kicked out of the schools the rot set in and is now far too advanced to be reversed. Hence the headlong rush to judgment, which is fast approaching.
The world's trading and banking system is clearly heading for a brick wall, with calamity only being staved off by ever more desperate measures of money creation - the production of "funny money" out of thin air, based on and backed by nothing. Once the world ceases to trust currencies such as the Dollar, watch out. Only gold and silver will retain and increase value.
What's "Quantitative Easing," as practiced by everyone from the Bank of England to Japan, the Federal Reserve to the European Central Bank?
Put simply, it is ramping up the money supply. If that worked in the long run we would all be as rich as Zimbabwe, where fifty billion Dollar bills float around rubbish tips as urchins search for things of real value, like old cans and bottles.
The world floats on a sea of credit. Most people buy on credit. With money they hope one day to have. Four out of five cars sold in the UK are bought on credit or leased. People don't own them. In America, even furniture is often leased. Hands up all those who actually own their home? You don't until the last debt instalment is paid.
Multiply this many times over and you see nations, councils, states, companies and millions of indiividuals living in funny farm land, spending money they don't have. Can anyone seriously think this is sustainable?
The tremors of the money markets are harbingers of mega trouble to come. These are tumultuous times, unlike anything in previous world history. The reason is that the world was never so interlinked. A bad day in the far east stock markets is usually followed by a selldown in London, which sets the scene for Wall Street to panic. I watch it every day on business new programmes. Pat and I were once co/publishers of a business newspaper, among many other things, and I understand the money markets.
Beware. The stage is being set for the biggest crash in world history. Humpty will not be pached back together. Instead we are heading for a new world money system, a New World Order, a one world government and one world religion.
Over it all will rule the man who seems to have all the answers, the Man of Sin known as Antichrist. He's in the wings and coming soon as the world seeks a saviour from its dash to disaster.
How do I know? Easy. It's all in the Bible, the only book that tells you both the end and beginning of world history, from Genesis to Revelation.
ALAN writes: There's a strange listlessness about the world, as governments and commentators vainly try and convince people that "the recovery is on track." Ordinary folk know differently as they either lose their jobs, fail to find new ones or just battle to pay the bills. The day of reckoning is upon us and at its root is a spiritual malaise, With the Church of England about to follow America in appointing a homosexual Bishop, how can our countries flourish? The rot always starts with the church.
WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.
