The Golden Calf ...

... GREW UP

It stood for idolatry as a golden calf ... and it stands for idolatry as a bronze bull. The image is recognizable around the world as the emblem of money and Wall Street. The fallout from the financial money system of the world has been of such biblical proportions that it is without question a part of the 'end of days' process now occurring. We are on the fast track to troubles "such as never was." Daniel. 12:1

While the greedy elites have sucked most of the wealth out of the economy, one Wall Street banker actually commented that he was "doing God's work." He was certainly part of the fulfillment of God's prophetic word. It is a characteristic trait of the financial industry to accept no blame for the fallout of their greedy activities.

The economist John Kenneth Galbraith wrote of them in his book about the Crash of '29: "They remained very quiet. The sense of responsibility in the financial community, for the community as a whole, is not small. It is nearly nil ... the foolish have the field to themselves and none rebukes them." It's actually much worse than that. They actually feel put-upon despite the fact that they were bailed out by the taxpayers so that they could continue their greed and corruption.

The love of money reigns and there are no restraints against this corrupt greed that is breaking the backs of the people of the world. It is their religion. There's no question about that, and there is no room for any other faith - such as Christianity. For one to admit to a faith in Jesus Christ is a guarantee of career suicide. There is a real price to pay. And that does not apply to only the financial community. It is true in the universities, in the scientific community, everywhere. It is an absolute fact that if you speak the truth you will eventually lose your job, lose funding, whatever it takes, because a person will no longer be tolerated in the halls of power if they are out of sync with the global agenda and its religion.

Make no mistake. This is a club in which no one is allowed if he serves any god other than Mammon. "The heart of man is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9. That is the issue.

The solution?

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

It's an individual choice. It always has been.

Financial Armageddon

We have now reached the point of no return, in the global financial situation. You won't hear it on the news channels, of course, but if you follow world finance as regularly as I do you will know that we are about to enter catastrophic consequences around the world.

According to Christian global economist, Wilfred Hahn, "government debt levels around the world have risen 75% over the last two years." This is truly astonishing. This is true, not of just a nation or two, but of the entire world. This would be hard to accomplish if nations tried. This is truly an event of biblical proportions.

Bible prophecy does predict such an epic event. We are now heading at warp speed down the road to "troubles such as never was." (Daniel 12:1).

Why in the world would leaders descend into such lunacy? Everyone IN the financial industry knows why. It's simple GREED. Even at this historical time of such catastrophe they still do not accept blame, and there appears to be no consequences whatever for their actions. Typically, they accept no responsibility. None. And none is assigned to them. They get away with it because of their power to do so. They appear to be oblivious to the evil of their actions. This is their way of life, and it always has been.

They cheat on their income taxes, they take all their money offshore, they have no concern whatever for the people they rob. Graft and corruption are as normal a part of life as getting up every morning. They understand that they are untouchable, exempt. They believe they deserve it. They worship money and financial success. They feel entitled.

They produce nothing. Their love of money is such that they will stop at nothing to gain more. No one restrains them in their lust for wealth. They are the ultimate materialists. It is their god, their religion. Even as they bring the world financial system down, they are the very ones to whom we go for advice.

They live a lie, and it is an unwritten rule that no one speak truth. They would be immediately ostracized if they admitted faith in Jesus Christ. Everyone would turn against them. Their careers would be over.

It is the same in the world of science, regarding evolution or global warming. Grants would cease to come their way, funding pulled from their research projects, and eventually they would be squeezed out of their career positions. This is unwritten law. Of all the articles written, not a single commentator, economist or journalist ever mentions the cause ... greed.

Our government 'leaders' are caught up in the same mindset. Our nation is literally broke, yet they continue to come up with trillion-dollar spending plans. The self-deception and blindness is astounding. Bribes and threats are rampant, and it appears none of their criminal minds give it a second thought. They are all lemmings headed for their demise. Unfortunately, they will take us with them.

The Bible has a lot to say about wealth and the end times. Here are three of many:

"Now listen, you rich people..you have hoarded wealth in the last days" James 5:1.

"Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. James 5:3.

"I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing." Rev 3:17.

We, too, as citizens have participated in the lust for wealth and material things. We need to repent and recognize how foolishly we have been caught up in their trap and in things that have no lasting value. Seek the riches that have eternal value.
