Obama Announces “Beginning of the End”

President Obama signed a new plan yesterday which will greatly increase USA debt and made an odd declaration:

Stimulus deal the beginning of the end: Obama

Australian Broadcasting Corporation – Feb 18, 2009

US President Barack Obama has signed his $US787 billion ($1.2 trillion) economic stimulus package into law.

The stimulus package, with its combination of new infrastructure spending and tax breaks, is aimed at pulling the US economy out of recession and saving or creating up to 4 million jobs.

Mr Obama has staked his own political viability on the package, saying its success will determine his own.

At the signing ceremony in Denver this morning, Mr Obama said the package would lay the groundwork for “real and lasting change for generations to come“.

“The American Recovery and Investment Act that I will sign today is the most sweeping economic recovery package in our history,” he said.

“I don’t want to pretend that today marks the end of our economic problems, nor does it constitute all of what we have to do to turn the economy around,” he added.

“But today does mark the beginning of the end…” http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/02/18/2494186.htm?section=business

Now President Obama meant the beginning of the end of various economic problems. However, he is apparently continuing a change that previous USA administrations began regarding greatly increasing USA debt. A change that will essentially eliminate the USA as an independent nation perhaps some time next decade.

The fact is that the Bible prophesied this type of debt and, partially because of his lack of prophetic understanding, the new USA president is helping fulfill the following as it will occur at the end times:

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry…
6 “Will not all these take up a proverb against him, And a taunting riddle against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases
What is not his–how long? And to him who loads himself with many pledges’? 7 Will not your creditors rise up suddenly? Will they not awaken who oppress you? And you will become their booty. 8 Because you have plundered many nations, All the remnant of the people shall plunder you (Habakkuk 2:3,6-8).

The above prophecy will be fulfilled at the time of the end. And since the USA has gone from being the largest creditor nation the world has ever known, to the greatest debtor nation that the world has ever known.

The increase of debt is not only a sign that the end is getting nearer, it is also a sign that the USA is losing God’s blessings as being in debt to foreigners (the ones that will greatly finance this latest round of debt, as well as many of the future rounds that are expected under the Obama administration) is one of the curses that the Bible forecasts:

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. 46 And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever.

47 “Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, 48 therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the LORD will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you. 49 The LORD will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50 a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young. 51 And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you (Deuteronomy 28:42-51).

We are in the time of the end, but the end (meaning the beginning of the great tribulation) is not yet. But it may not be too many years from now.

The increase of USA debt, without national repentance, will surely mean that the USA will fail economically, and many other ways as well as those scriptures make clear.
