M&M: After Brussels things will get worse

“I will break the pride of your power” (Leviticus 26:19)

What is ahead? Notice the following claims by Larry Edelson of Money and Markets:

March 23, 2016

Q: Given yesterday’s tragedy in Brussels, where do your war cycles stand?

A: Precisely as forecast, they continue to ramp up big time. This phenomenon is not going away any time soon, not until it crests in 2020 or 2021.

Simply understand this: In times of plenty, everything is fine. But in times of scarcity, the entire social fabric of society can give way.

What plenty or scarcity am I talking about? Not your usual suspects, like food and water, or energy. I’m talking about the lack of trust that is now exploding to the surface all over the world.

Lack of trust in banks. In brokers. In local governments. In religion. In institutions. In law. In the police. In any kind of authority.

Just think it all through. Have you ever seen such a swift collapse in trust and confidence in the world?

Between entire countries and civilizations? Between philosophies? Between economic classes, the rich and the poor? Between entire civilizations?

The war cycles point up all the way into 2021, so fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to get worse. All of it. From ISIS to Boko Haram. From Brussels to Washington. From Wall Street to Main Street. A collapse in trust and an explosion in tension and conflict. …

Q: What are your thoughts on the GOP, Trump, Clinton, etc.?

A: If I told you my thoughts on them, this column couldn’t be published!

All kidding aside though, what you are witnessing is the implosion of Washington. The lack of trust that I discussed earlier. Americans largely do not trust career politicians, or Washington in general, anymore. Hence, why Trump is so popular. http://www.moneyandmarkets.com/important-questions-answered-4-76784

Larry Edelson is correct that we are seeing lack of trust of governments and many institutions. Larry Edelson is correct that governments are engaging in more cyber espionage. That is expected to continue (cf. Revelation 13:15-18; see also The Snowden Leaks are Leading to the Destruction of the USA).

He is correct that things will get worse, as biblically, as the Great Tribulation will come (Matthew 24:21; see also When Will the Great Tribulation Begin? 2016, 2017, or 2018?) and more terrorism is expected (see also hy Terrorism? Is Terrorism Prophesied?). The Brussels attacks came shortly after Belgian authorities arrested many thought to be associated with terrorism–and there are still many more potential terrorists in Belgium (the authorities are still looking for at least two people tied in with yesterday’s attacks).

Last year, Larry Edelson mentioned that governments in Europe and the USA are claiming that they need taxes on the rich for some forms of income redistribution (see M&M: What’s ahead for Europe and the US dollar? War in 2020?). Last year, Larry Edelson also mentioned that we are seeing battles between religions, civilizations, and groups of nations. However, an ecumenical and interfaith movement is going forward (see United Nations: Humankind’s Last Hope or New World Order? and Will the Interfaith Movement Lead to Peace or Sudden Destruction?).

As far as ‘war cycles’ goes, last year he was looking toward that to peak as early as 2020, but now seems to be adding another year.

Yet, the time will come when there will be a temporary false peace (some details are in the article about the ‘Peace Deal’ of Daniel 9:27). There will also be more official groupings of nations, with a reorganized power block in Europe (Revelation 17:12) and a confederation in the Middle East and North Africa (Daniel 11:40-43; see also Is the Future King of the South Rising Up). While secular sources can sometimes see ‘the handwriting on the wall’ (see Can those in the USA/UK see the Handwriting on the Wall?) they also do not always understand what God means without assistance. Europe, despite problems it will face, will rise up and become the dominant financial power in the world for a time after the USA loses its place.

Jesus talked about the time we are now in:

6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:6-8)

I believe that we are in what Jesus referred to as ‘the beginning of sorrows.’ Jesus said that after the gospel of the kingdom was preached to the world as a witness (Matthew 24:14), things would get a lot worse and His most faithful followers would flee (see also There is a Place of Safety for the Philadelphians. Why it May Be Petra):

15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. (Matthew 24:15-22)

The end, as various Christians tend to define it, begins with the fulfillment of Matthew 24:15 and the start of the Great Tribulation as mentioned in Matthew 24:21.

The Great Tribulation, also known as the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7), is further described in Revelation 6:9-11 (the fifth seal, that seems to occur because the faithful church has suffered martyrdom, cf. Daniel 11:31-35; Matthew 24:9-10), Lamentations, Daniel, and other parts of the Bible. It starts with Matthew 24:21 and Daniel 11:39. Some would call this World War III (WWIII), though the battle to takeover the USA and its Anglo-Saxon allies will be much, much briefer than most would believe–but it will happen and the Europeans will win (Daniel 11:39; cf. Revelation 13:4).

The fact is that the 6000 years God gave humankind to rule itself is about to come to an end, which means we are nearer to the start of the Great Tribulation, WWIII, and even WWIV (related to the staging at Armageddon and involving a confederation known as the “kings from the east” Revelation 16:12). But there still is at least 3 1/2 years to go (and likely more than 3 1/2 years). Yet, Larry Edelson is correct in implying that WWIII could start in 2021 (he directly used the WWIII comment last year)–but there are events we need to see first, that we all should watch for (see also When Will the Great Tribulation Begin?).

Because of the proximity to the end of 6000 years for humanity to rule itself mainly cut off from God, we are to expect wars, rumors of wars, and various sorrows (Matthew 24:4-8). And then the end of the nations of USA and its Anglo-Saxon allies once the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7), the great tribulation (Matthew 24:21) begins.

Ultimately of course, there is good news as ultimately, Jesus will return, God’s kingdom will come, and those issues will be gone (Revelation 7:16).

Getting back to Larry Edelson, he is more optimistic about aspects of the economy than I am.

Why?

Because Larry Edelson seems to believe that there will be a future for the USA dollar and the USA. But, while there could be a new reserve world currency that the USA dollar is part of, the when the USA dollar truly crashes and burns, it will be no more per Habakkuk 2:6-8 (see also Anglo – America in Prophecy).

We are nearing the time of great distress. WWIII will come, and actions by the Islamic terrorists, Europeans, the USA, Asians, and others are leading to it.
