<\/em>\u201cI will break the pride of your power\u201d (Leviticus 26:19)<\/p>\n COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n Many of us have questioned the official inflation rate in the USA.\u00a0 CBS has reported the following:<\/p>\n Forget the modest 3.1 percent rise in the Consumer Price Index, the government’s widely used measure of inflation. Everyday prices are up some 8 percent<\/a> over the past year, according to the American Institute for Economic Research<\/strong>…The institute contends that to get a good read on inflation’s “sticker shock” effect, you must look at the cost of goods that the average household buys at least once a month and factor in only the kinds of expenses that are subject to change…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n And, largely as the result of the recent run-up in gas prices, this “everyday price index” (EPI) suggests that Americans are being pinched far more tightly than the official inflation measure would have you believe.<\/p>\n Over the past year, the EPI is up just over 8 percent, according to the economics group. The biggest factor: Motor fuel and transportation costs are up 21.06 percent from year-ago levels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I have seen other inflation estimates higher than that.\u00a0 An online source that analyzes such matters puts it at 10.5% from January 2011-January 2012 (http:\/\/www.shadowstats.com\/).\u00a0 With the recent major increases in the price of gasoline (the absolute cheapest around here is $4.32.9 per gallon), it is likely that these inflation rate numbers will rise soon.\u00a0 Of course, by using lower official inflation rates, the US government does not have to increase social security and other related pensions as much as it has effectively promised to.\u00a0 Lower numbers also keep the voters less agitated, though many are agitated anyway.<\/p>\n The Bible warns that the pride of power will be broken (Leviticus 26:19), and for the USA this apparently is not only referring to its military might, but its economic pride, its dollar. Now as I have been saying, the USA dollar will NOT totally collapse (become worth a small fraction of its purchasing value) until shortly before the start of the Great Tribulation (Jeremiah 30:7; Matthew 24:21).<\/p>\n The USA is the most indebted nation of all time.\u00a0 Inflation will ultimately be a major problem for the USA as its foreign creditors will realize that the dollars they hold are becoming worth less and less.\u00a0 Eventually, they will demand much higher rates of interest for holding USA dollars, which is something that the USA cannot currently afford.\u00a0 And eventually, inflation will get them to realize that it is all over for the USA and its dollar.<\/p>\n Interestingly, after I wrote the above, I noticed the following on the front page of Friday’s edition of the Wall Street Journal<\/em> as well as something from the Australian version:<\/p>\n China is shifting sharply away from US dollars and the world hasn’t ended-yet… In the 12 months to June 2011, dollar purchases accounted for just 15 per cent of additions to China’s reserves.\u00a0 That confirms hints from Beijing and Europe over the past year that China has ramped up purchases of European debt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n As far as the USA goes, “yet” is the operative word.<\/p>\n Notice the following prophecy:<\/p>\n 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end<\/strong> it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come<\/strong>, It will not tarry…5 Indeed, because he transgresses by wine, He is a proud man… 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?<\/strong> Will they not awaken who oppress you? And you will become their booty. <\/strong>8 Because you have plundered many nations, All the remnant of the people shall plunder you <\/strong> (Habakkuk 2:3,5,6-8).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n LCG <\/a>Evangelist Dr. D. Winnail wrote about the suddenness of what will happen:<\/p>\n Handwriting on the Wall!<\/strong> On July 4, the United States, currently the most powerful nation in the world, celebrated 234 years of independence.\u00a0The 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 \u201cempire\u201d could suddenly collapse\u2014possibly within the next two years\u2014due to the country\u2019s rising debt!\u00a0(Winnail W. LCG World Ahead Weekly Update, July 8, 2010)<\/p>\n The U.S. and the British-descended peoples have enjoyed living off the resources of the world, but the prophet Habakkuk warns: \u201c\u2026 Will not your creditors rise up suddenly?<\/em> 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\u201d (Habakkuk 2:7\u20138). (Winnail D. Sudden Calamities Ahead! Tomorrows’ World, Volume 10, Issue 5. Sept-Oct, 2008)<\/p>\n Hebrew prophets also warned repeatedly that the future demise of God\u2019s chosen Israelite peoples would come “suddenly” and unexpectedly<\/em> (Isaiah 9:14\u201315; 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\u2019s warning to the ancient Babylonians, “Will not your creditors rise up suddenly?” (Habakkuk 2:7)\u2014may 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)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 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.\u00a0 The change is lending from China is not yet enough of a factor–but even when it cannot borrow from others directly, the Federal Reserve simply prints up more electronic currency (with terms like “quantitative easing”) that creates both a credit and inflation risk.<\/p>\n And while I do not believe that 2012 is the year for total monetary collapse (though problems are happening and will happen in 2012), according to Bible prophecy, the end of the Anglo-dominance of the world is coming, and the final age of the Gentiles will be here in a relatively few years. The debt and other financial issues in the USA are indicators that not too many more years are left before the start of the Great Tribulation.<\/p>\n It is not that Europe and other areas will not have their own issues, it just is that since they have not quite followed the USA into the debt creation machine to the same degree, they completely will fall apart later than the USA does.\u00a0 Investors will not necessarily seek perfection, just something that they consider a safer investment than the USA dollar.<\/p>\n And the Bible shows that the final King of the North<\/a> of Europe will apparently secure gold (cf. Daniel 11:40-43) that will for a while, partially hold its collapse off (Revelation 18:11-16).\u00a0 And hence, Europe looks like it will be the place that many investors will choose over the USA, and its close allies, such as the UK and Canada.<\/p>\n To learn more, please check out the following articles:<\/em><\/p>\n Anglo \u2013 America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel<\/a> Are the Americans, Canadians, British-English, Scottish, Welsh, Australians, Anglo-Southern Africans, and New Zealanders descendants of Joseph?
