Greece declined to "junk bond" status in April 2010.  Now, an entire line-up of countries are teetering on "fiscal cliffs:" Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and now the United States. 

All over the internet and mainstream news, you hear or read about the International Monetary Fund bailing out nations with billions of dollars in loans for the last several years.  Are they not critically indebted to the IMF?   

At the same time, the World Bank is scooping up land and resources with their booby-trapped loan packages to "help underdeveloped nations." 

Let's recap:  The IMF is baling out the nations with billions of dollars in loans, which most economists already know will fall into default; and the World Bank is "helping underdeveloped nations," but it just so happens that the only collateral these extremely poor nations have is their fine resources, oil, coal, diamonds, platinum, you name it; and yes, once the poor nations default, these natural resources go to the World Bank.  Do we see a resource, land, wealth and power-grab here?

These two institutions were launched simultaneously in 1944.  The World Bank's stated purpose is to "help underdeveloped nations;" yet two very pitiful nations applying for some of their initial loans, war torn Poland and impoverished Chile, were both declined!  The bank made its first loan to France, which obviously not underdeveloped!  Ironically, Poland now has one of the highest GDPs among European nations and has the sixth largest economy in Europe.  Most likely because they were refused "business" by the World Bank!

The World Bank is swallowing up land and resources in all of the poorest nations, while the IMF is handing out bailouts right and left to failing nations, which they most likely will not ever be able to repay; so what is this leading up to? 

The outcome of these circumstances are described in the Bible, in the books of Ezekiel and Revelation, as well as other passages.  The Word of God tells us about a global financial crisis, which ends up being a "New World Order" under one dictator, the Antichrist. 

Ezekiel prophesied, "They shall cast their silver in the streets and their gold shall be removed.  Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord.  They shall not be able to satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels (famine), because it (money) is the stumblingblock of their iniquity" Ezekiel 7:19. 
The prophet Daniel wrote of the Antichrist's rise to power.  John the Revelator wrote about a world monetary system under the Antichrist's reign, "He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads, that no man may buy or sell, except he who has the mark, the name of the beast (Antichrist), or the number of his name.  Here is wisdom.  Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man and his number is six hundred, sixty-six" Revelation 13:16-18.

Just as hundreds of other Bible prophecies have been fulfilled, these also will come to pass.  It is not coincidental that animals, birds and fish are dying all over the world (Hosea 4:3); strange sounds are being heard throughout the world (Acts 2:19), all of the nations surrounding Israel have turned against Israel (Zechariah 14); the earth is experiencing great earthquakes in record numbers (Luke 21:11); and world economies are collapsing (Ezekiel 7:19).  More importantly, the gospel has been preached in every nation of the world, which Jesus said would be the sign of His return (Matthew 24:14).

As sure as the heavens have no end, there is an eternity waiting for every soul, and God's holy Word says we are either going to heaven, or hell (Revelation 20-21).  Are you prepared to stand before the judgment seat of Christ and give an account of your life on this earth?  If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God loves you and it isn't His desire that anyone perish (2 Peter 3:9).  Salvation is simple - it's only a prayer away.  God bless you.
