Self-sufficient from God. Israel is one of the most secular nations around.

(I used to consider Israel as a possible place to flee if the US went completely bonkers)
Matthew 24:15-16
King James Version
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

If I were going to go, which would require a huge financial miracle, I’d want to be in Judea at least. That’s IMHO.
But I admit not knowing what the current situation is there.
(“Revival” will come with the 2 Witnesses IMHO. Not this side of the Harpazo. There’s too much Apostasy...)
Yeah I think so too.
There is no limit to what cornered rats in a dying govt will do.
They’re doing it gradually. First they set the limit high enough so that we’re not really bothered by it. Then, without any warning, they set the limit much lower. Once we’re accustomed to the new reality, they eliminate cash altogether, which is their end goal.
Once all money is digital, they can take what they want when they determine that “we have enough” (barack obama: “at some point you have to say you have enough”.)
They will then give the money to those who keep them in power. Hard working productive intelligent people like us will not be the recipients.
That will be followed by an unending period of misery, as productivity will cease.
(“The stated purpose of the law is to force the general public to use digital means of payment rather than cash, so that transactions can be easily monitored.”)
Whoa. EXCELLENT catch!! Thank you.
It’s so money can be tied to social credit. If you oppose the Elites, you risk losing your money.
No doubt. I just quoted from the article.
Here’s more “ Splitting transactions is prohibited and is a criminal offense punishable by three years in prison,” attorney Goldman told Globes. Repeat offenders potentially also face jail sentences.
Unlike many other countries, the laws in Israel apply also to tourists. ”
Reminds me of :
Trespassing on Jan 6? = 6 months in jail!
Trying to assassinate a Republican Congressman? = You are free to go. Enjoy your day, sir!
Israel’s self-proclaimed enemies cumulatively receive far more ‘help’ from comparatively wealthy Western Civilization than does Israel. Stop all of it and Israel will do even better than it does now.
Just wait until they move to spyware digital currency
No one knows when Jesus is coming, but the signs are there. We’re about to become Argentina/Venezuela real soon, and it will be very bad.
The absolute truth. The government is not going to let the people outmaneuver them in regard to precious metals, or anything for that matter.
That’s why I haven’t bought $1 million worth of gold and silver. That and the fact that I don’t have $1 million.
I don’t understand the problem folks have with living beyond cash. Cash is worthless. Cash has no intrinsic value.
Money as it presently exists is all entries on various electronic ledgers. That is, money is just massless electronic blips that flit from ledger to electronic ledger with no substantive mass at all
That called cash is a paper representation created as a visible substitute for the constantly moving blips ultimately recorded on the host of electronic ledgers. Cash represents blips on the Treasury ledger. That’s all.
There seems to be concern that access to one’s personal electronic ledger will be curtailed and thus one has no money and is destitute. That thought prevails absent the reality that if that happens, the access to the Government electronic ledger and thus the instant devaluation to 0 of the paper.
For most of America, everyone or family has at least one electronic ledger that is located at a bank. There may be several others including banks providing plastic that contains data for accessing the ledger. There might be a ledger at a life insurance company. For sure there is one at the government, state and local, that can make all sorts of transactions via electronic ledger entries. There is certainly one at the internet and cell phone provider. There is one at the place of employment that transfers earnings directly to the personal ledger at the bank.
At present, for many, all money is transacted by a few key strokes on a hand held cell phone computer. There is no visible nor tangible representation beyond the cell phone. The electronic money ledger entries flow into and out of the tiny device totally eliminating the need for worthless pieces of cocaine laced paper.
“It’s so money can be tied to social credit. If you oppose the Elites, you risk losing your money.”
They will use the “boil the frog” technique with that as well.
If you are “uncooperative” first it will be just a 1% a year extra tax on your money, then 2% etc....until they just take it all.
Cash is privacy. A transaction can be done without third parties being aware of it.
That is a very big deal.
India did this not that long ago. Introduced a new note with only (I think) a couple of weeks to redeem the old notes before they became worthless. Redeeming over a certain amount required one to declare the source of the money. The government’s justification was breaking the underground economy.
In the U.S. cash transactions over $10,000 must be reported to the government carrying large amounts of cash risk it seizure and making transaction of less than $10,000 can be a crime if the government thinks you are trying to evade the reporting—it’s called ‘structuring’
The government thinks that your money is very much its business.
indeed
