Your Money In Changing Times
The shakiness in the world financial markets continues as the G-7 countries look at each other and try not to blink. They're all nervous and know they're hanging on by a thread.
The only consolation is that we're in the same mess as the rest of the world, but arguably much worse. That's a far cry from the early 1970s when we were the largest creditor in the world. But since then things have gone south, all because we switched to a fiat currency in 1971 (not backed by gold).
It is a proven fact that the United States economy has been propped up by bond debt for the last 30 years. And we're continuing to borrow billions every day to pay our bills. As we've said many times before, the only way the United States can pay its daily bills is by adding more debt! We have an advantage over other countries because of both the size of our economy and the fact that most countries have to buy oil in U.S. denominated dollars, creating an artificial demand for our dollars. So because we can, we continue to borrow, and we continue to spend wastefully. Don't be fooled by the "deficit reduction" talks going on in Congress. They're a total sham. They're literally arguing over  how much to cut from "increases in spending!" That effectively does nothing to cut our massive and out-of-control spending and ever-growing debt. And if it weren't for the artificially low interest rates, the party would already be over. How long will people continue to loan us money? Not infinitely. The current bond bubble is four times the size of the Internet bubble (2000) and the real estate bubble (2007) combined! Heaven help us when that bubble pops. And it will, it's just a matter of time.
Is China nervous?
Our trade deficit with China in 2011 was the largest in the history of  the world--554 billion! 2012 is expected to be worse. China may be nervous but she's not stupid. She's watching our out-of-control spending and the diminishing value of our dollar and is making plans to be the last currency standing. For the last ten years China's been using her declining dollars to import massive amounts of gold, as well as purchasing gold mines worldwide. Her gold reserves are projected to eclipse ours by 2015... and that's assuming the gold in Fort Knox is actually still there!
And for the kicker, since September, 2012, China now purchases oil from Russia with Chinese yuan. China is also working similar deals with Brazil, United Arab Emirates and Nigeria. Iran, understandably, has cut deals to also drop the dollar as a median of exchange. There will come a day when the dollar, as we know it, will be no more.
From scripture, we know China is a major country in the Tribulation, one of the Kings of the East in Rev. 16:12. So watching all of this come together is not surprising.
Two things we need to think about:
First, as God allows the world around us to position itself for the  eventual New World Leader, New World Order and New World Religion to rise, we will invariably have many, many opportunities to share our Biblical knowledge of, and faith in, the Risen One.
The largest explosion of evangelism is in the future, during the 70th Week of Daniel (Tribulation). So it's quite possible God may allow one last harvest even prior to the Rapture. For this we pray, because once the Rapture happens, those left behind will face the most horrific situations imaginable.
Second, we have no clue how long we have left. It is entirely  possible that the Rapture is still 20 to 30 years away. So we must face the facts that for Believers, things could get a bit dicey the longer this thing stretches out. Therefore it is of paramount importance that we are good stewards of our most important assets--relationships, time and money. And in that order!
So whether we have 20 minutes or 20 years, our prayers should always include, "Use us, Lord!!"

Chapter Four of Spine-Tingling Tribulation Stories The Two Witnesses
"Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD." Mal. 4:5
 For the first time in the history of modern Israel, she was at peace with her sworn enemies. The national excitement of the guaranteed peace was enough to begin moving the tiny country past the post-rapture fears associated with the Russian/Iranian invasion, decimation of the United States and subsequent massacre of her enemies the Arabs. "Shalom, shalom!" was being shouted from the lips of every citizen. Ezek 13:9,10
Then, seemingly on  cue, two men showed up out of nowhere on the Mount of Olives creating quite a stir in Jerusalem. One claimed to be Elijah, returning as prophesied in the Old Testament scripture in Malachi, and the other claimed to be John from the New Testament. This immediately raised a red-flag alert within the Ultra-Orthodox Jews. The Jews had been patiently waiting for Elijah to return to earth after his departure in a fiery chariot over 2800 years earlier. Every year at Passover, Jewish families in each home had set an extra place-setting at the table for Elijah. And every year, just before eating, they sent their children to the door to see if Elijah might be there. (2 Kgs 2:11; Mal 4:5)
So this reported return of Elijah and the appearance of John was incredible news to everyone in Israel, but it was of greatest concern to the Ultra-Orthodox Jews. These highly religious men, exempt from having to join the work force or the military, devoted their entire lives to studying the Torah.
And they were a force to be reckoned with. They fathered large families, averaging 5 or 6 kids per couple, and although they only comprised about 10% of the total population, they powerfully influenced Israel's political coalitions and therefore elections.
But more importantly, they were also the self-proclaimed watchdogs for false prophets. With their extensive knowledge of scripture, they were quick to spot and expose impostors. Through the years scores of false prophets claiming to be Elijah or the Messiah had fallen under their scrutiny and were properly dismissed.
But Elijah and John sure looked like ancient prophets. They were dressed in what could only be described as linen sackcloth, much like what the Old Testament prophets wore as a symbol of the office of Prophet when they preached repentance. Rev 11:3, Mal 4:5, Mat 3:1
They appeared to be older men, albeit quite fit, as they took up residence at the southern tip of the Mount of Olives overlooking the over one million tombs on the western side. The view of the Temple Mount from the Mount of Olives was mesmerizing.
So when news of the two men claiming to be Elijah and John spread through Jerusalem, the Ultra-Orthodox immediately began making plans to confront them. Always ready to expose impostors, the Ultra-Orthodox decided to pay them a visit to dispel the rumors that Elijah had indeed returned.
The Ultra-Orthodox leaders, as always, were dressed in their traditional and unique head-to-toe black suits and hats. Arriving at the top of the Mount of Olives, the group of about 50 walked somewhat cautiously to the area the men in question were occupying.
Following at the end of the "Black Hat" procession were two representatives from the Prime Minister's office, dressed in well-manicured suits, presumably to also figure out who these men actually were. Members of Israeli Defense Force (IDF) were also scattered around the area but appeared not to be interfering with the confrontation.
"Shalom!" the head of the Ultras spoke as he approached the two shaggily-dressed men.
"Shalom!" the two men responded in unison as they scanned the group, peering deeply into each pair of eyes. "What do you want from us?" one of the two men asked.
"It is said that one of you claims to be Elijah the Prophet," the leader of the Ultras responded. "What are your credentials? What proof do you have of who you say you are?"
The slightly smaller of the two men answered first, "I am Elijah. I come fulfilling the testimony of Malachi that I would return to earth. I am sent by God to proclaim the name of Jesus the Messiah and to call all of Abraham's offspring back to the Promised Land from around the world. Mal 4:5
As Torah-ingrained men, the Ultras were cut to the core. A man claiming to be Elijah was one thing, but claiming that Jesus was their Jewish Messiah was to them blasphemy in the highest.
Then Eiljah added, "To prove who I am, tomorrow I will disclose where the Ark of the Covenant is located. Inside the Ark will be two stone tablets with God's 10 Commandments." 2Chron 5:10
Before the astonished group could digest this incredible prediction, the other man added,
"I'm John, beloved by Jesus the Messiah whom you crucified. I am fulfilling Jesus' words recorded in the Gospel by my name and the Book of Revelation that I would not die but would return to be a witness and speak again to many nations, tongues and kings. John 21:21-24, Rev 10:11-11:3
"My proof," John continued, "is that tonight, an angel from heaven will mark God's anointed men, visibly on their foreheads, with the seal of the living God while they sleep. Rev 7:2"
False prophets had come and gone through the years in Israel, and often it was difficult for the Ultras to quickly discredit them. But here these two had seemingly sealed their doom with two ridiculous predictions for the next day. Therefore, despite their desire to have them arrested on the spot, it was only necessary to wait overnight to prove they were false prophets.
"We'll be back tomorrow," the lead Ultra said, somewhat mockingly, as he turned to walk away, mentally preparing to return with the IDF to arrest them the next day.
News coverage of the verbal exchanges on the Mount of Olives was the lead story that evening in the news... not only in Israel but also in most major markets around the world. Amusing video of the two men dressed in shaggy linen sackcloth talking to high-ranking Ultras in their head-to-toe black outfits was a news hit. The bold predictions for the next day were circulated worldwide.
The next morning, as brazenly predicted by John, tens of thousands of Jewish men in Israel woke up with the Hebrew letter "shin" marked above their right eyebrows about the size of a shekel, in one of 12 distinctive colors. Rev 7:3,4
As daylight dawned in Israel there was a collective panic over the shin mark that couldn't be removed. The letter shin was often used to represent God, taken from the first letter of the Jewish word "Shaddai," which is one of the Hebrew names for God. Families debated whether or not this had to do with the prediction of two men on the Mount of Olives who claimed to be thousands of years old. And why were there 12 distinctive colors of the shin mark? Rev. 7 :4-8
Even more strange, almost every man who had the mark was an Ultra-Orthodox Jew, unmarried, and under the age of 30. Rev 14:3,4
The seemingly heavenly marking on so many of the young Jews had certainly gotten the Ultras' attention. By 8 AM the Ultra leaders were headed back to the Mount of Olives to meet with the men claiming to be Elijah and John.
But before they even got to the Kidron Valley at the bottom of the Mount of Olives, they saw a large crowd of people following the two men walking briskly up the short side-road leading to the Lions' Gate.
It was quite the scene as the two men entered the ancient gate of the Old City wall and then turned left toward the Temple Mount area. It was a circus-like atmosphere as multitudes of people strained to get a glimpse of these two now-famous men.
Once inside the Temple Mount compound, they abruptly stopped in the treed area on the north side. Elijah pulled a wooden stake from his belt and pounded it into the ground with a rock.
"Under this spot," Elijah calmly announced, "40 meters down is a cavern carved in the bedrock where the Ark of the Covenant is located. Inside the Ark are the two original tablets containing the 10 Commandments."
The Ark of the Covenant hadn't been seen for thousands of years. It was an important piece of the Jewish heritage as it served as the face-to-face meeting place between man and his Creator. It also was the physical representation of the covenant between God and Israel. 1Kings 8:21
