Death of Paper Money?
World Currencies
The Telegraph reported the following:
The Death of Paper Money
Telegraph, London – July 25, 2010 by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard…
Japan…had a private savings rate …cushioning the effects of the long slump.
The Anglo-Saxons have no such cushion.
While I am convinced that the British pound and US dollar, amongst other Anglo-Saxon currencies, will die and be worthless, this will not happen to all paper currencies.
Paper currencies are simply too convenient for all to completely go away. But Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is correct in his implication that the United Kingdom and the United States of America will likely go on even more of a money-printing experiment that will help destroy their currencies. He is also correct that the Anglo-Saxon peoples do not have the type of savings that the Japanese historically have, and thus will not have the “cushion” that such savings provide to society. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard also mentioned that grains like rye and gold tend to be used as backing when paper currencies themselves are considered practically worthless.
When the USA dollar, specifically, is perceived as worthless or almost worthless, people all around the world will doubt the value of all paper currencies. However, Bible prophecy reveals that about the time that the USA and its Anglo-allies are invaded (Daniel 11:39), a leader known as the King of the North, will also invade Egypt and take its gold (Daniel 11:40-43). One of the reasons to do this likely will be to partially restore the “gold standard” so that people will be able to trust that his currency (the Euro, a Euro replacement, or basket of currencies).
The idea of gold being amassed in the end time by a European leader is not only supported in the Bible in places like the books of Daniel and Revelation (cf. 18:9-16), it is also supported by both Roman and Eastern Orthodox Catholic prophecies. Notice the following Orthodox prophecies:
Saint Andrew Fool-for-Christ (c. 4th century): This king will rule…Happiness will reign in the world as it did in the days of Noah. People will become very rich…The entire world will fear this king…he will pursue all persons of the Jewish religion out of Constantinople…and the people will rejoice like in the time of Noah until the deluge came God will reveal to this king all the gold wherever it happen to lay concealed from view…(Tzima Otto, H. The Great Monarch and WWIII in Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Scriptural Prophecies. Verenika Press, Rock City (SC), 2000, pp. 113,114).
Emperor Leo the Philosopher (c. early 10th century): You will amass the gold of the nations…And you will be the leader of the surrounding powers…and those that are near will prostate themselves before your feet (Tzima Otto, pp. 76-77).
To Emperor Manuel II (d. 1425): …upon the command of the the good Emperor they will go and discover treasures of gold and silver and all this will be offered as a gift to the pious ones; later on more and more valuable treasures will be found and the Emperor will do with those treasures likewise (Tzima Otto, p. 102).
Recall also that Jesus warned that the coming again like the days of Noah would not be good (Matthew 24:37-39)–yet an Orthodox mystic had the opposite view.
Roman Catholics may wish to consider that those last three Orthodox predictions sound a lot like prophecies from two of their saints about Antichrist (Ephrem is also an Orthodox saint):
Saint Ephrem (died 375): Antichrist will use worldly goods as bait. He will entice many Christians with money and goods to apostatize…The devil will help him find all the hidden treasures of the world, even those at the bottom of the ocean. With those treasures he will attain greater success for the reign of Satan than at any other time in past centuries (Connor, pp.73.74).
Saint Mechtilda (died 1299): Antichrist will, through base and false strategem, and with presents of gold and gems, attain influence over the worldly princes. They will look up to him as their Lord and God (Culleton, The Reign of Antichrist, pp. 133-134).
So does the Great Monarch amass gold with God’s help like Orthodox prophecies suggest or does he amass gold with the help of Satan as at least one Catholic saint and certain biblical prophecies (Daniel 11:43; Revelation 18) indicate?
The answer should be obvious to all who wish to believe the God of the Bible. The Bible is clear that those who amass gold at the end time will find it is not the answer (James 5:1-5; Revelation 18:9-17).
Catholics and Orthodox who compromise will likely be taken in by this lure of wealth. This is something that all (Catholics, Orthodox, and everyone else) need to ponder.
The idea of gold be accumulated to support a European-backed currency while the US dollar tanks is discussed on page 333 of my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect. And this appears to be what will happen.
The death of the US dollar and Britain’s pound sterling is certain. But as Ambrose Evans-Pritchard indicated, it will likely take some time before it is obvious to most. Do you understand that? Are you prepared spiritually for that?
