Steps are being taken in the East to push aside the USA dollar as the world’s primary international settlement and reserve currency:

Targeting the US Dollar’s Hegemony: Russia, China, and BRICS Nations Plan to Craft a New International Reserve Currency

While inflation data in Europe and the U.S. has risen significantly higher last month, Russia and members of the BRICS countries revealed leaders in the five major emerging economies are in the midst of “creating an international reserve currency.” Analysts believe the BRICS reserve currency is meant to rival the U.S. dollar and the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) currency. …

During the BRICS Summit, Russian president Vladimir Putin announced that the five-member economies — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa plan to issue a “new global reserve currency.”

“The matter of creating the international reserve currency based on the basket of currencies of our countries is under review,” Putin said at the time. “We are ready to openly work with all fair partners,” he added. Additionally, Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia are considering joining the BRICS group. Analysts believe the BRICS move to create a reserve currency is an attempt to undermine the U.S. dollar and the IMF’s SDRs. …

China has been hoarding massive amounts of gold as well, as both countries hiked their gold reserve purchases a great deal a few years before the war. Russian banks also joined the China International Payments System (CIPS) making it easier for the two countries to trade. In April last year, China opened its borders to billions of dollars of gold imports, according to a report from Reuters. …

Since World War I, the U.S. dollar has been the world’s global reserve currency and America emerged as the largest international creditor. … However, the Russian ruble has been a strong competitor to the dollar this year and has been one of the best-performing fiat currencies in 2022. 07/24/22 https://news.bitcoin.com/targeting-the-us-dollars-hegemony-russia-china-and-brics-nations-plan-to-craft-a-new-international-reserve-currency/

The BRICS countries have increasingly taken steps to de-dollarize their economies and protect themselves from sanctions. For years, discussions about trade settlements outside the SWIFT system have been common among BRICS countries. …

Russia has strengthened BRICS alliances by selling oil to BRICS countries at a discount outside SWIFT. In May, Chinese imports of Russian oil were up 55% from a year earlier. Russia has surpassed Saudi Arabia as the top supplier of Chinese oil. Also, Russia and China are conducting many cross-border lumber transactions in both Chinese Yuan and the Russian Ruble. A Chinese Communist Newspaper, the Global Times, editorial argued that BRICS should push for all its members to use local currencies to push back against the dollar hegemony. The article went on to say, “If they can achieve that goal, other developing nations will also join them when it comes to developing alternative financial infrastructure in response to reckless U.S. sanctions.”

Iran has applied to join BRICS. Russia is Iran’s ally, and China is the primary customer of Iranian oil. Iran’s significant oil deposits are probably desirable to the other BRICS nations. Argentina has also applied to BRICS. Argentina has large deposits of oil, metals, and beef production. The resources of Iran and Argentina are strategic if BRICS successfully create a commodity-based currency. After Russia pegged the Ruble to gold earlier this year, the likelihood of a BRICS commodity-backed currency significantly increased.

The BRICS economic influence extends beyond what most realize. BRICS have opened a bank called the New Development Bank (NDB) and has begun funding projects. A joint statement from BRICS finance ministers and central bank governors said, “We encourage the NDB, as a leading provider of solutions for infrastructure and sustainable development…expand local currency operation, improve its credit ratings…including undertaking more co-financing ventures.”

The BRICS are gaining economic significance …

BRICS de-dollarizing represents one of the greatest threats to the Dollar.

All the infrastructure is being built to de-dollarize the world economy. The Chinese Communist Party’s newspaper calls for pushback against the Dollar’s hegemony. BRICS are actively building a currency and have already opened multiple banks. Russia has already pegged its currency to gold. Multiple signposts are warning of a bleak future for the Dollar, and indeed, there will be a divided world economy or unbelievable violence to hold the current economic structure together.

BRICS are protecting themselves from the danger of the Dollar and building their alliances with physical gold and energy. South Africa is a part of BRICS not because it is a large economy. It just has a lot of gold. 07/13/22 https://www.usgoldbureau.com/news/is-brics-a-threat-to-the-dollar

Increasing USA debt and the USA’s weaponizing of the dollar are pushing many nations to figure out how to drop the USA dollar.

Russia, China, and much of Europe have been increasing gold reserves (though in Europe, it has been more repatriating of gold).

Because most of the world has had its international trade tied in with the USA dollar, when the unbacked USA dollar finally crashes, people will want something with at least a claimed backing.

Perhaps it should be pointed out that there is more official gold in Europe than in the US (unofficial, private gold levels are harder to determine; see The Plain Truth about European Gold).

After the USA dollar is gone, the Bible shows that Europe will dominate international trade and finance, and this will involve gold (cf. Daniel 11:37-43; Revelation 18).

The Bible shows that the European King of the North will end up with gold. Notice something that I wrote about this in my book Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction:

Daniel 11:43.

43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels.

The “he” is the King of the North. This is the same King of the North that valued gold and silver in Daniel 11:38. Although other scriptures also show that gold and silver will have value around this time (like Revelation 18; 9:20), the Bible is clear that gold and silver will be worthless for a short time before Jesus returns, e.g. Ezekiel 7:19.

The fact that the King of the North himself will accumulate gold (and some silver) is consistent with several Byzantine (“Greek” Orthodox) prophecies of their expected Great Monarch:

Emperor Leo the Philosopher (died 912): You will amass gold … And you will be the leader of the surrounding nations …

Addressed to Emperor Manuel II, Palaeogous (died 1425): The Emperor … will discover gold and silve r…

Saint Andrew Fool-for-Christ (c. 4th century): God will reveal to this king all the gold wherever it happen to lay concealed from view …[i]

One side note is that, in Egypt, major gold deposits were found in 2006.[ii] This is relevant as it does suggest that Egypt now has enough gold that a foreign power could be interested in taking/using it as Bible prophecy teaches.

Since many are now questioning the role of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency, more are looking into other currencies as well as gold. Gold will set records in US dollar terms. In 2017, I also published that in my book related to Donald Trump, and it did in July and August in 2020. [iii]

It has been proposed that various nations around the world are already in the process of accumulating gold to one day overthrow the U.S. dollar—and that the “U.S. is unprepared for this strategic alternative to dollar dominance.”[iv]

When the U.S. dollar totally collapses people all around the world will consider that even if the Euro (or something similar) is strong, having a more gold-backed currency would be safer.

The collapse of the U.S.A. dollar will shake a lot of the world’s confidence in non-gold backed currencies.

The Europeans do not have to have a perfect currency, only one that is perceived to be in better shape than the U.S.A. dollar.

Having the European power acquiring more gold to back the Euro or possibly another future European currency (that might potentially replace the Euro or even a basket of currencies) may greatly increase European credibility, prosperity, and influence around the globe, even if the backing is only implied.

The debt accumulation policies of the Obama-Biden and the Trump-Pence Administrations, which were a massive acceleration of the previous policies of the Bush Administration, look like they will be continued by a Biden-Harris Administration.

The increases in America’s debt are heading the world into the time when something other than the U.S. dollar will be valued as its reserve currency.

A Biden-Harris Administration would need to make massive changes to possibly prevent this.

The U.S.A. and its dollar are at serious risk.

[iv] Rickards J. Axis of Gold. The Daily Reckoning, December 20, 2016

(Thiel B. Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction. Nazarene Books, 2021)

The Biden-Harris Administration has already taken significant steps to increase US debt since that writing was published (which was a few days before Joe Biden took office). Such debt is expected to increase even more.

Russia, China, and other nations are working towards a world where the USA dollar is not the world’s primary reserve currency and a world where gold rises up.

The BRICS call for a basket of currencies with implied gold backing is something I have long warned was a possibility.

Gold will outlast the USA dollar.

Yet, the Bible is clear that those who amass gold at the end time will find it is not the answer:

1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. (James 5:1-3)

While I do not have the confidence in gold as many ‘gold bugs’ do (basically, because of scripture and the fact that gold has a limited utility), the time will come when the USA will wish it had more gold, as its practice of electronically printing and borrowing its own money will create a massive problem for it (Habakkuk 2:6-8).

But have no doubt about it, the Bible prophesies that during the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21-22; Daniel 11:39-43; Revelation 18:12,16) that nations around the world will value gold. During that time, there will be no USA dollar prominence.

Steps to push aside the USA dollar are happening.

The more the USA uses its dollar as a weapon, the more nations want to work for a way around it.

Even part of the point of BRICS originally was to bypass the USA dollar. That was also part of the rational the Europeans had when they came up with the euro.

The USA keeps pushing nations away from its dollar through weaponizing it and putting in place various sanctions.

There is a cost to the USA for doing that–and one greater than some inflation.

The USA dollar will one day be worthless.

Many around the world are taking steps to bypass the USA dollar–and becoming more public about it.
