I don’t know how.
I keep using this analogy: There came a time in 19030’s Germany that the intelligent (and courageous) Jews got on a boat to England.
Ecclesiastes discusses this in those words of the Byrds song Turn Turn Turn.
And as Kenny Rogers said:
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
For me. It was time to prepare to walk away in late October of 2008. That is when I purchased my small farm in central KY. In August of 2011 I walked away from Seattle to that new home.
The day to run may come. The day to fight may come. But a wise man chooses his battles.
I said in 2000 AND in 2004 that the election of Bush simply put off the inevitable slide into dictatorship off by four years. The start of the collapse of the economy in 2008 sealed our fate. Since then it has not been a matter of “if” but only “when” this whole house of cards will collapse into WWIII. We are at the cusp.
I heard that markets were up today because it looks like there will be financial help supplied by the government (qe3) so they were “upbeat”. They were not “upbeat”. Rather, they see any such help as inflationary, which means stocks and commodities will increase in value RELATIVE to the increasingly worthless dollars. Eventually our economic death spiral will lead to hyperinflation just before the war.
With or without Obamacare we are screwed. With Romney or Obama we are screwed. It just changes the position.
But ultimately, I take heed to the words of a pastor I heard a couple decades ago: Where would he early church have been if they had put their faith in Rome?
My strength is in the Lord and this life is a mist. I will remain in him, living my life, eating and drinking and enjoying the fruits of my labor and sharing it and, most importantly, the good news of Christ with anyone who will listen. And then I die.
We are coming to a time when people will envy the dead.
BTW, IMO.
“We are coming to a time when people will envy the dead.”
Do you remember what book of the bible that comes from?
Thanks. Just asking.
