Failing Markets: In the Bible

 My friends, the times are changing and the things which hold value now are on the precipice of being lost forever.  Our economy is teetering on the brink of collapse, and a second wave of COVID-19, could set us back 200 years.  Today, everything is golden, good, but the time is coming when the things that we once held precious will litter the streets because they are worthless to us.  The time is coming when even gold will lose its value; it may be hard to believe, but it's true.  You say "gold will always have value", but I guess you never read in Revelation's that "none will buy or sell without the mark of the beast"[Revelation 13:17] so the day is coming when gold or silver won't have value without the mark of the beast, only your allegiance to the Beast will get you fed. As Jesus said, what is more important the gold on the altar or the altar that sanctifies the gold.  In the last days, the mark of the beast will certify the gold or it won't be accepted.   

A society is coming which does not value dollars or cents not even the labor one can perform in a day, won't be exchanged for food.  The bible speaks of even militaries without tanks or helicopters, just horses and chariots.  So what happened to all our technology you ask?  Well a nuclear blast would create an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) which would render all electronics, within a certain area, useless, however something on a larger scale like a Coronal Mass Ejection(CME) could destroy electronics on a global scale.  There was a show called "Jericho" in which the U.S. was nuked in like 8 cities, if that happens the phrase"we nuked them back to the Stone Age" would be relevant.  Commodities like gold and silver rely on markets to maintain their value.  In a cashless society these metals could be used to barter with but God has shown me that after a nuclear bomb, the markets would crash and these commodities  would be worthless; as I said before, the only value one might attain would be what one could perform for a day's wage(labor for a day's wage).  The time is coming when not even a prostitute will be able to sell her body in exchange for food.

In [Revelation 6:6] it says that a measure of wheat will cost a penny, which amounts to a day's wages.  Even in the current pandemic, I have noticed the shortage of change(pennies, dimes, nickels, quarters).  I went to Zaxby's the other day and could not make an order unless I had the exact change.  Why is there a shortage of coins?  There is a shortage of coins because the markets around the world are stalling and money isn't flowing as freely as it once did.  It's nothing to worry about but I like to be prepared; remember the virgins that didn't have enough oil in their lamps when the bridegroom came.  They were unprepared and had to go to the sellers to buy their oil...

Present Day Ride of The Four Horsemen

This is more for discussion than anything, but there could be a case made for a present-day ride of the four horseman of the apocalypse. Let's examine Revelation 6.

Revelation 6

1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

2And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. [(Did anyone notice how the whole of Europe united under one currency, the Euro, without any battle, without parliamentary debate, without anyone taking great notice? Could the first Horseman be at work here?)]

3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.  [(Anyone notice the fall of Russia (Communism is referred to as the "Red Army")and all the waring states which emerged from the ashes of it? How many wars is this country currently fighting, (Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iran/Pakistan)? Four? That's just the wars we are fighting, this is not counting the continuous wars in Africa and Israel(Middle East).]

5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of BALANCES in his hand. [(Who isn't feeling the pinch right now, caused by high prices? The wealthy, that's who! The stock market crash caused a massive redistribution of wealth, that has affected the global economy. How many times do we hear daily that we are going into uncharted territory; this has never happened before. And what advice do we get from the Wallstreet pros? They all suggest a BALANCED approach to investing. I'm just saying, what I'm saying)]

6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. [(There are two things unaffected by this whole global collapse; the price of oil never drops and gold has shot through the roof! "The oil and the wine", is also another term for the wealthy.  I submit to you that an argument could be made that three of the four horseman have already ridden and the fourth well, that's up for debate, just like everything else!!)]

7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
