Two birds with one stone. The fabricated global financial crisis is being used both to build a single global economy (666) out of the ruination of the existing, while at the same time create worldwide social instability so as to usher in a 'new way'. The plan is global and definitely includes the good 'ol U.S. of A. on both counts (here). The news is not good, and it will not be getting better. This fact must be faced.

If it were not for the fact of the return of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to crush this earthly rebellion of men and devils:

"And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth..." (Rev. 19:19-21)

...the scenario now vividly taking shape throughout the entire world would be absolutely and utterly hopeless. But he will come, exactly as the prophetic Word of God foretells, just as he came the first time. And the good news for the believing Christian...before that period of judgment begins he will first come and take his bride to be with him where he is, safe in his Father's house (John 14:3). Ready?

And for any who do not like that answer...there is no other answer!
