Bro Jeff you wrote;
"The world's nations from China, Russia, Iran, and before the invasion, Iraq, has begun to divest of the U.S. Dollar. They perceive that the financial stablity of the Dollar is waning.
Just a heads up on what is happening..."
Of the latter, i'm sure you already know, to most you sound like Chicken Little, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling"! ... Info such as what you (i and a few others here on SI) post is either pooh-poohed as just plain ole conspiracist based fear mongering (tho the handwriting on the wall is obvious even if we don't want to accept the interpretation), or as "oh well what can we do about it" from the defeatist, poorer, lower socio-economic classes, or as "Our Government/The Fed will never allow such an economic demise/collapse in America" from the eternally optimistic "faith in the plan of man" set ...
i'm following info re: what you've posted as i believe that soon, and very soon, there'll be many a saint in my circle who'll suddenly become open to explanation ...
With all that's happening in the world, in America, i go back and forth between rejoicing
at such events in the vain that as a Christian i do believe that such down hill escalation points even nearer to our deliverance becoming nigh, to really feeling such sorrow for so many of my fellow Americans (especially saints) who just refuse to see what's transpiring before our very eyes (therefore no way to pro-actively repent before His Majesty) ... The last thing that the American citizentry, saints included, will respond to is the type of "heads up" you've posted here ... First off, like so many other Americans, many of us have our heads deep in the sand, with our rear ends exposed in the exaggeration of our unnatural position ... According to scripture we should ALL be walking circumspectly, taking inventory of everything and weighing it, and straining it via Scripture ... Then there are others of us who really think that as The Body of Christ we're rapture ready, and so will escape any
hardships that such dire posts convey ... i could be wrong, but for me personally that's not what i hear Holy Spirit bearing witness to in my spirit and it has me in a "watch and pray" mode of such an intensity i can't even describe ... Hardships such as we are not accustomed to is coming to America, and i believe it to be extremly instrumental and effective as a "Refiner's Fire" to where we're supposed to be spiritually ...
It's so true that the world is in the power of the wicked one, he who knows his time is far more shorter even moreso than when this observation was first scripturally made ... The devil's madness to me seems more and more evident in what he's doing thru his men of power here on earth ... We seem to be at a culmination of world wide madness, where America (the so called seat of Christianity) as a nation has divested itself from Him and just about all of His commandments to becoming the sad demonically possessed and/or motivated, spiritually, ethically, morally and now economically bankrupt society we've become ... And yes some of the so called rogue OPEC nations, most Islamic, would just love to make one massive economically suicidal dash of divesting out of the dollar, but for many reasons haven't been able to do so ... It seems that while Iraq, and Iran, may be willing in attempts to taking America down economically, other nations such as Russia and now China, supposedly Communist anti-capitalism nations, allow the US certain lee-way (such as this war in Iraq) because even tho they hate us, and would love to see us topple, they know that the continued financial fortunes of their own coffers heavily rely on our wickedly perverse U.S. consumerism ... Even the E.U., designed to give us a run for our money (pun intended), is having a hard time in figuring out how to replace us as the world's economic giant, without shooting off one of their feet in the process, after all who's gonna buy in such great mass all the crap we buy from them ... Seems to me our God has allowed the devil to manuver the world between Iraq (a rock) and a hard place, and all that's left is for some event(s) to push the nations over the precipice of producing an seriously economically declined America ... Things as we know it have to change drastically in order for this world to be set up for the one world rule of Anti-christ, and an America as chief dictator of monetary policy, along with our dollar as chief instument of buying and selling has to go sometimes ... Trouble is so many of us saints still see the fulfilment of Bible prophecies as being still out there a bit, but never take into concideration that there's always a history leading up to a climactic, and few see when we're in that history ... Few Jews in Germany read their history correctly, and by the time the climactic showed itself it was to late! ...
You know i was watching the Hal Lindsey report the other day, and i praise God that He's taught me to not throw the baby out with the bath water in many of the ministries He may have me listen to ... Hal was talking about this very subject of your post, when he ran down how at first the value of our dollar was tied to precious metals ( gold & silver), and how in the late 60's/early 70's Pres. Nixon worked out a deal with Saudi Arabia/OPEC to tie the value of our dollar to their oil, as the only demonition of currency in which oil all over the world could be bought and sold ... For any other nation to attempt to replace the petro-dollar with another currency, especially in light of our present debt laden situation, is asking for trouble from the U.S. Government and military, and will eventually get it ... Personally i think we Americans are the most self centered, uninformed and basically non thinking folks on the planet ... We don't see anything past anything that threatens our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, and if anything disturbing happens to make us look up we never see the problem as ourselves, it's always projected out to someone else ...
No wonder we can't pro-actively repent of anything we do personally, familaly, societally, governmentaly, financially, but most importan SPIRITUALLY ... It's the neglect, nay the pure refusal, of the latter that has brought us to where we are today, and if i did not know that all is according to His will/plan i'd be scared ... But i do ... So i'm not!
Some may find these interesting as well ...
