No need to offer any apologies to me. I’m just pleased that you realized who was saying what. If you’re like me, you skim through a bunch of articles, and it’s easy to misunderstand this and that when skimming.

I heard an economist on the news today saying that his fear isn’t so much in how the stock market performs right NOW, but rather in a couple/few years as all the incredible debt begins to pile on in the form of staggering interest payments. In other words, things could START looking good, and then the bottom truly drop out when we find ourselves struggling to pay our debts and find our country is bankrupt.

The US has been the staunchest defender of Israel, and the guarantor of freedom in the world throughout the century. It has also been the ultimate bastion of individualism and nationalism. According to the Bible, that won’t last. The US is not a major player in the last days.

As the last days unfold, according to Ezekiel 39-39, Russia and a coalition of Islamic states (all of them but Egypt and Babylon (Iraq), interestingly) will attack Israel. No country will come to their aid, but will only question what impact such a war will have on global commerce (Eze 38:12-13). The United States will not be there to say to the Russian/Islamic forces, “You’ll have to get through us first.” But God Himself will supernaturally intervene.

And then, again, we see the coming of an Antichrist/beast in the very last days during a time of incredible global crisis such as the world has never seen. He will literally solve the unsolvable problems, and be such a great leader that the whole world will worship him. Again, where is the US in such a scenario? Clearly, the US is diminished.

So I read Celente’s article in which he forecasts economic catastrophe for America, and I am putting 2 and 2 together. Celente himself never mentions Bible prophecy; it only happened that his assessment is compatible with what the Bible is saying.

Thanks for reading, and for commenting!
