Economic Political Changes in Japan, USA, and Germany
Yoshihiko Noda
Japan’s prime minister resigned and has been replaced by Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda. In the USA, Barack Obama selected a new economic advisors chairman. And in Germany, that nation is getting frustrated about bailing out other parts of Europe:
Japan’s ruling party on Monday picked Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda as its new leader, bringing him a step closer to becoming the nation’s next prime minister.Parliament will vote Tuesday on whether he will assume the position of prime minister — the country’s sixth in five years…Last week, the credit rating agency Moody’s downgraded Japan to an Aa3 rating from Aa2, blaming the country’s huge deficit and frequent changes in administration that have prevented the government from implementing long-term economic policies. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/08/29/japan.politics/

Obama to Tap Krueger as Top Economist

Euro bail-out in doubt as “hysteria” sweeps GermanyGerman Chancellor Angela Merkel no longer has enough coalition votes in the Bundestag to secure backing for Europe’s revamped rescue machinery, threatening a constitutional crisis in Germany and a fresh eruption of the euro debt saga.
Major nations are all trying to make changes based upon the economic crises that they and much of the world is facing.
Japan will have its issues, but ultimately seems prophesied to cooperate with China (cf. Revelation 16:12). Germany seems prophesied to ultimately rise up and lead the world for a while, and at the expense of nations like the UK and USA (Isaiah 10:5-12; Psalm 83:2-8).
While the USA is in a trend towards decline, ultimately, that decline will speed up to the point of a real crash. Evangelist Dr. D. Winnail of the Living Church of God wrote about the suddenness of what will happen:
Handwriting on the Wall! On July 4, the United States, currently the most powerful nation in the world, celebrated 234 years of independence. The following day, on Monday, July 5, British-born Harvard professor and economic historian Niall Ferguson opened the 2010 Aspen Ideas Festival with a stark warning that the American “empire” could suddenly collapse—possibly within the next two years—due to the country’s rising debt! (Winnail W. LCG World Ahead Weekly Update, July 8, 2010)
The U.S. and the British-descended peoples have enjoyed living off the resources of the world, but the prophet Habakkuk warns: “… Will not your creditors rise up suddenly? Will they not awaken who oppress you? And you will become their booty. Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the people shall plunder you” (Habakkuk 2:7–8). (Winnail D. Sudden Calamities Ahead! Tomorrows’ World, Volume 10, Issue 5. Sept-Oct, 2008)
Hebrew prophets also warned repeatedly that the future demise of God’s chosen Israelite peoples would come “suddenly” and unexpectedly (Isaiah 9:14–15; 29:5; 30:13; Jeremiah 6:26; 15:8). Modern financial analysts realize this could happen if the nations lending to America decide to dump the dollar and call their loans. The prophet Habakkuk’s warning to the ancient Babylonians, “Will not your creditors rise up suddenly?” (Habakkuk 2:7)—may also ring true for debt-plagued nations like America and its Israelite cousins. Prophetic scripture contains a sobering message: debt and disobedience lead to the demise of nations! (Winnail, D. Debt, Disobedience and Demise of Nations. Tomorrows’ World, Volume 12, Issue 2. March-April 2010, p. 27)
Despite Japanese government debt, Japan is also owed large amounts by the USA. It is the the United States and its Anglo-allies that have loaded pledges of debt in these end times that they really do not expect to pay back. In that respect they have recently plundered many nations. Much of their debt is owed to nations such as China, Japan, and the Arab World, while the Europeans have trillions of dollars invested in the USA–money they may be disappointed to have devalued. Enough so that they may divide the land among themselves and other creditors.
So, while some of the major economic powers are having changes this week, biblical prophecy gives us a general map to see how it will all end up.
