Your post #13 about weather, historical event and God using them when man gets “too big for his britches” brings to mind some more detail regarding the time period you speak of, 1300’s going forward. It’s a long bit of fascinating history but I’ll try to capsulize it here......

By 1325 AD or so, the Lombard and Tuscan banking syndicates had created a financial empire that spread from Great Britain in the west to Russia in the east. They financed everything for the monarchies of the day. They financed wars, they financed the luxurious lifestyles of the nobility, they financed agriculture and mining, and shipping and trade. They had their fingers in every financial pie and they were immensely wealthy.

In order to make debt payments to the Lombard banking families Bardi and Peruzzi and Allucaoli, the monarchs turned, of course, to taxation. They taxed the middle class merchants and the lesser small agricultural interests unmercilessly. High taxation rates, customs duties on all goods, fees for all manner of things.

Around 1342, the whole game began to unravel, everyone was in debt up to their eyeballs, the populace was being taxed to the point of “you can’t get blood from a stone”. Debt defaults began, foreclosures on property begn, financed ships and heavy weaponry were repossessed. Finally in 1345, the King of England defaulted on the debt to the Lombard bankers. The whole system collapsed.

By 1348-1350, the weather had changed. It was getting colder, much colder. Crops failed, famine and disease erupted. And it continued, colder and colder, worse and worse harvests. And the Black Plague appeared.

The Black Death rampaged across Europe, killing 50% of the population. God humbled man and man endured the Dark Ages for several centuries thereafter.

If it was not the fact that , that was past history, it would sound like it was happening today.... opps, spoke to soon, because, all that you described, IS happening today... i.e. government taxing the people to death.... defaults on loans...
The only thing left, is a unprecedented un heard of natural event or the weather taking it's toll where Obama and his henchmen don't know what to do and handle the sheeple...

MSM ? DEMOCRATS ? ... God's hand is about to turn things upside down... and you can not hold back the hand of God or defeat God, or touch innocent people's lives or God's people without God being angry, events are about to happen that you will have no power to stop ..... i.e. stronger tornadoes, earthquakes beyond magnitude we ever seen before, extreme winters ... crop failures and people rioting for food....
