[Jim Cane]

And wealth is the sign of virtue and eternal election.

No. Wealth is a sign of someone having worked hard/smart (Bill Gates), or having robbed cleverly (Enron Barons), or having had the luck to be the son or daughter of one who worked hard/smart or robbed cleverly (Korrupt Kennedy Klan).

So what does the fall of the wealthy during the revolutions mean - the loss of divine grace?

The fall of the wealthy during revolutions is a sign that they were either too clever by half, or that they p*ssed off a lot of the peasantry.

How it can be reconciled with the predestination?

I don't know what you're talking about. The only thing that is predestined for man is the grave.

Some Calvinists associate material blessings as a sign of belonging to the "elect".
