What This Economic Crisis Really Means

He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

Revelation 13:16-17

The Book of Revelation contains much prophecy of what the world will be like after Jesus calls his chosen people up to heaven with him. It will be a dark time indeed as the world then will be ruled by the Antichrist under one world government - and financially controlled under one world currency.

Many, including myself, fear that the $700,000,000,000.00 bailout passed by Congress last week is just the tip of the iceberg. Most, if not all, of the world markets are in a similar bind. Many acknowledge we will be in a recession, perhaps a deep one. Perhaps even a depression.

With many of the world's banks in distress, money is already being transferred between nations. More debts will default, more financial firms will fail. There will be great distress.

A worldwide currency is not a new idea; in fact top bankers and economists have been trying to find a way to implement it. Now with the uncertainty of just about everything financial, it is my opinion that this worldwide financial crisis will pave the way to a worldwide currency. As bad as things are, a single currency may appear to be a rather attractive prospect for many.

The scary thing is that the financial sector transcends the very sovereignty of our country. The president doesn't control it. Congress doesn't control it. The courts don't control it. The financial sector is like its own shadow government. The most powerful people in the world right now are those who control the markets and the commodities that flow between them.

How did we get here? Simple. "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." (1 Timothy 6:10)

Keep watch, my brethren. Stay vigilant.
