LCG: USA World’s Caboose

The United States Now the Caboose: Noted author and brokerage president Peter Schiff recently made some sobering observations regarding the state of the U.S. economy. Mr. Schiff stated, “the U.S. could see double-digit inflation within the next two to three years, and potential ‘Zimbabwe style’ hyperinflation within the next five to 10 years, depending on how the government reacts to high inflation.” He went on to discuss how “The theory that the world’s economies are linked like a train and that the United States is the engine is 180 degrees wrong… ‘I think the world represents the engine and the U.S. the caboose,’ he says. ‘The world has been spending a lot of energy dragging a caboose that consumes more than it produces and borrows more than it saves’” (MoneyNews.newsmax.com, August 18, 2009). Mr. Schiff’s observations are sobering indeed, when one considers that the U.S. was by far the leading economy of the developed world not long ago. God warned long ago what would happen if Israel failed to follow His sound economic principles. “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail” (Deuteronomy 28:43-44). The U.S. is coming to resemble the tail, or “caboose,” just as God promised it would. God’s prophecies stand the test of time!

I would like to elaborate on this by quoting a few more of the related scriptures.

First notice that the descendants of Israel were promised to be the head and NOT the tail if they obeyed God’s commandments:

13 And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them (Deuteronomy 28:13).

Second notice that they were promised to BECOME the tail if they disobeyed God’s commandments:

43 The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. 44 He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. 45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you (Deuteronomy 28:43-45)

The USA is becoming increasingly against the commands of the God of the Bible. And as a consequence, it is becoming more subservient to foreigner creditors. When enough foreigners realize what Peter Schiff reported has merit, the Bible shows that the creditors will rise up and plunder (Habakkuk 2:6-8).

Most today do not realize the tie that the USA and the Anglo-descended peoples have with the Old Testament nor the importance of observing the Ten Commandments. And because of this, many do not understand what is now happening.

Do you?
