The Europeans, for example, have over $5,000,000,000,000 invested in the USA that could become nearly worthless if the USA defaults on its other debt or if its economy succumbs to the debt.\u00a0 That will not please them.\u00a0 Nor will it please other creditors, like China.<\/p>\n<p>It also needs to be understood that increased debt increases the amount of interest to be paid, and likely will also force interest rates to rise and make the interest payments even higher (<a title=\"http:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sharedcontent\/dws\/bus\/columnists\/wdeener\/stories\/DN-deenercol_18bus.ART.State.Edition1.3cf1a10.html\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sharedcontent\/dws\/bus\/columnists\/wdeener\/stories\/DN-deenercol_18bus.ART.State.Edition1.3cf1a10.html\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; color: #800080; font-size: xx-small;\">http:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sharedcontent\/dws\/bus\/columnists\/wdeener\/stories\/DN-deenercol_18bus.ART.State.Edition1.3cf1a10.html<\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>If interest rates rise to their 1982 levels in a few years, the interest on the USA debt will likely exceed the total of all income tax revenues.\u00a0 This will likely raise interest rates to even higher levels.\u00a0 Levels that creditors will finally realize cannot be paid back.\u00a0 Taxes simply cannot be raised enough without destroying economic growth to solve this.\u00a0 The USA will have to discover some great new technology to extend its dominance (remotely possible), nationally repent (highly unlikely), or come to an end (most likely).<\/p>\n<p>What most pundits have not dared to say is that if the USA is not the leading economic power, it will also have to cease to be the leading military power. If this USA is not even to be a \u201cmediocre\u201d power (as the second article above suggests), it will be considered vulnerable and quite weak.<\/p>\n<p>Here some excerpts from my book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesecretsect.com\/\">2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect<\/a> related to Barack Obama, the USA, debt, and end-time prophecy:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Additionally, one of the first things that Barack Obama\u00a0has done as U.S.A.\u00a0president is to sign into to a law a bill that will greatly increase the debt of the U.S.A. \u00a0He has also indicated that he will need to pursue policies that will increase that debt during at least his first administration, although he ultimately hopes to change that, as even he claims that the U.S. debt is \u201cunsustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, he and others may not realize that the Bible strongly warns about what will happen to a huge debtor in the end time.\u00a0 Notice what the seer\u00a0Habakkuk\u00a0wrote over 2,600 years ago:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><sup>3<\/sup> For the vision is yet for an <strong>appointed time<\/strong><strong>; But at the end<\/strong> it will speak, and it will not lie.

And, of course, it is possible that the rest of the above prophecy might be fulfilled while he is U.S.A.\u00a0president.\u00a0 This prophecy, if it is applicable to the U.S.A, also suggests that American dollars will ultimately be of no value to creditors by then (or to probably anyone else)\u2026<\/p>\n<p><ins datetime=\"2009-07-11T07:17\" cite=\"mailto:Joyce%20Thiel\"><\/ins>Since 1973, the U.S.A.\u00a0switched from being a creditor nation and instead has become the greatest debtor nation in the history of humankind.\u00a0 \u00a0Because the U.S.A. owes alien nations trillions of dollars, it appears that the curse in Deuteronomy 28:44 of having to borrow from aliens is happening to it now.\u00a0President Barack Obama\u00a0has put forth economic policies that will (for at least several years) greatly increase that debt.\u00a0 Yet, increasing national debt like this will lead to destruction at the appointed time\u00a0of the end (Habakkuk\u00a02:3, 6\u20138)\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Habakkuk\u00a02 makes clear that at the appointed time\u00a0of the end, a great borrowing people will be destroyed (Habakkuk 2:3,6-8).\u00a0 Something similar is in Deuteronomy 28:42-51.\u00a0 No nation in the history of humankind has ever accumulated as much debt as the United States of America\u00a0(because the U.K. may have the highest amount of per capita debt, its fate would seem to be similar). Yet, the relationship between debt accumulation and prophesied destruction remains unapparent to many.<\/p>\n<p>And although President Obama\u00a0inherited a debt-laden nation, his policies, according to his own public pronouncements, will lead to greatly increased U.S.A.\u00a0debt for several years.\u00a0 These increases of debt are likely to go past the point of no return and become one of the final factors that will cause creditors to rise up and destroy the U.S.A. (Thiel B. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesecretsect.com\/\">2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect<\/a>, released September 2009).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Bible lists debt as a curse for disobedience (Deuteronomy 28:42-51).\u00a0 Creditors rising &#8220;up suddenly&#8221; to &#8220;plunder&#8221; the USA means the end of the USA.<\/p>\n<p>The USA is the largest debtor nation in the history of the world and seems determined to fulfill the prophecies related to the end time debtor.\u00a0 It cannot borrow like it has indefinitely.\u00a0 And even the US President realizes that.\u00a0 But if you are an American, do you really understand how that may affect you?<\/p>\n<p><em>Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesecretsect.com\/\">2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect<\/a> This is a link related to a book by Bob Thiel (COGwriter).
