I remember when congress was set to vote on the bailout, all I could think about was the part in Terminator 3 where the General is hesitating as he decides whether or not to enable Skynet. Just as in the movie series Skynet caused the end of civilization as we know it, I sensed that the bailout would in a somewhat similar way initate a sequence of events that would be the undoing of this country.
That was before I found out it was going to cost $3 trillion. All I knew was that the country was in a bad financial situation and our government proposed to remedy it by spending unimaginable amounts of money. The way I see it, that's like trying to keep the Titanic from sinking by shoving chunks of iceberg in the holes in the hull, except for the fact that I can trust the ice.
I am no financial expert, and I don't read the news all day long, but that's not the point. It wasn't what I knew that told me the bailout was a bad idea. It was what I sensed. Something told me it was a sign of the times, that I should heed an unspoken warning. I have since felt an intensified drive to get my food storage in order.
Some people I have talked to are optimistic about the situation, saying that they think we may be on the road to recovery. I cannot refute that, and I certainly haven't got the economic knowledge necessary to debate it, beyond the most fundamental principles of basic personal economics. But one thing I do know is that there are things in motion now that could possibly mean the end of civilization as we know it. If our economy continues to go south, this could be the end. I find it worthy to note that in these times of gowing peril, we have "comedians" pulling stunts in public for the purpose of shocking, offending, and pushing the boundaries of societal conventions farther in the direction of Satan and sin. This is a time for mass repentance, and instead we are seeing the exact opposite. Babylon is growing stronger. Sodom and Gomorrah are stretching their tentacles into every community, and even in the most conservative of communities, we are hearing the deceived calling for normalization of that which is abominable. Not merely tolerance, but normalization.
Now is the time to prepare every needful thing. Now is the time to prepare our lamps and gather oil for them, because the Bridegroom is coming, and He is considerably closer today than He was just a couple of years ago. The judgements of God are beginning to weigh more heavily upon us.
I'm not even 40 years old, but I feel I can say that I was born on another world, in another time, when I look around at the world today. I think it's too late to save this world. I think the day of burning is irrevocably approaching.
I don't expect I'll be demonstrating in the streets. We may be beyond that point now, or soon will be. Our government has already labeled people like me as suspected terrorists, just because of our political beleifs, status as a veteran, etc. It is a shameless propaganda stunt, and I doubt the media is going to hold the government accountable for it. Rather, I believe the media is complicit.
Rather than demonstrating in the streets, I think I'll be building my year's supply of food and water, and standing in holy places, being not moved.
