Comments on: Prepare for the great American blackout! http://www.thepropheticyears.com/wordpress/2009/06/30/prepare-for-the-great-american-blackout.html Don Koenig gives his wordviews on world and Church issues that often relate to Bible prophecy Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:29:33 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Nikki http://www.thepropheticyears.com/wordpress/2009/06/30/prepare-for-the-great-american-blackout.html#comment-3165 Nikki Thu, 06 Aug 2009 08:30:32 +0000 http://www.thepropheticyears.com/wordpress/?p=2288#comment-3165 AMEN Eric..I am totally with you on this one, totally my Brother. I also believe there is going to be a showdown in the Middle East with Iran and Israel and money will become useless at some point and it is right around the corner. I believe the Lord is about to remove MANY idols Eric, money being one of the first. I do not think you are being extreme, you can discern the times and see things for what they are, while many are clueless as to what stands at the door. I know things are about to hit the fan at any minute and I truly believe and will bravely say by the end of this year something MAJOR is going to take place. I now understand why the Lord has taken me down this path the past few years, many things make more sense now. The only thing I have been living for is the Lord, nothing else matters, he has taken my love of this world and the passing things in it away...I surrender it all to him. I see the Big picture...this life and world is not our home and there will no pain and suffering one day, but it won't be anytime soon. Like you said, Nothing else matters.........

I believe there will be a showdown in the Middle East between Iran and Israel that will trigger terror events in the US and other areas. In and around that timeframe the stock market in the US will collapse in a catastrophic way. I mean we are talking a once in every 70yr massive shock. Right now the markets are in the eye of the storm being propped up by re inflated govt debt. Once this new debt bubble bursts it will be tearfully wicked. People who put their hope and trust in money will be painfully punished. Their god will be taken away. I am talking a possible 90% drop in all of the major indexes. I know this sounds extreme but there are some nasty debt bombs about to go off in the bond mkt, currency mkts, t-bill mkt, derivatives and general market. Most of the mainstream is either clueless to all this or purposefully not reporting on it. Get your heart ready and lets live for the Lord! Nothing else matters. Nikki, I totally agree.

Can't say exactly what it will be, I have a few thoughts on what I feel the Lord is showing me. But, by the end of this year we will see a major few things happening. It will get the attention of every single person in this country. Arise from your slumber and sleep people of God. I personally believe by the end of this year we are going to see a few MAJOR things.

Many people just are not rational they do not get their inspiration from God they get it from human philosophy. The history of the world proves that. They keep making the same mistakes over and over again expecting different results. That is because man's ideas are bankrupt. Man cannot figure out a way to solve the world's problems. They put band-aids on cancer expecting a good outcome. Now the socialist humanists think if they can make everyone equal and do away with nationalism that all problems on earth can be solved. First of all it can never happen because you cannot make man or nations equal and even if you could you will destroy all incentive for advancement. Instead of having living standards like those in the United States these policies will bring the whole world to the least common denominator. More like to the level of the Soviet Union just after their collapse with no hope of a bailout when the whole world system goes down the tubes. Man left by himself continually swings from predatory capitalism that brings about a dog-eat-dog world that preys on the weak and is motivated by greed to forms of socialism that try to control the lives of everyone and put everyone on one level (other than the elite making the rules). The government soon becomes tyrannical, the control freaks then oppress the people, and the people become increasingly inefficient and this soon produces a counter revolution that brings them back to predatory capitalism etc etc. This full cycle plays out in Latin America about every two or three decades.

You mention the leaders of our nation waking up and taking this seriously. Here is my take on that........they don't want to take it seriously. The majority of leaders in command WANT the US to collapse and turn into a 3rd world nation because that ultimately free's up the anti-christ to establish a 1 world religion and economic system. The USA is in the way of this now. Gone will be the days of a "reserve currency". I know this is conspiracy theory stuff but what else explains the apparent lack of planning and taking action? This is the only thing that can explain why the powers to be seem intent on destroying what is left of our economy. Cap/Tax, National healthcare, Trillion dollar stimulus and bailouts. None of this will help us "recover". All their actions are totally self destructive. Its like giving an alcoholic a case of booze to recover! I find it hard to believe that they don't know this? Maybe some are oblivious and actually believe that all this stuff will work but I think the true powers in control know this is a dagger in the heart of America.

So if an EMP should happen in five years or so we are stuck with the technology we have today. If we are talking about an effective EMP attack it will damage power generating equipment and transformers. They will have to be rebuilt but without electricity rebuilding them will be impossible. Eventually we<strong> might </strong>be able to get some equipment from overseas and start doing some major repairs but it will probably take a year or so to get even a modest portion of our power stations and power lines back online. To rebuild it all would take a decade but it would never happen because half the people in this nation would already be dead as a result of the riots and starvation and the nation would be totally bankrupt. It will be like trying to build a new modern infrastructure under the economic and social conditions found in Hatti or the Sudan. That is how serious an EMP could be to the United States. It will reduce this superpower to a third world nation in days. The leaders of our nation had better wake up and take this threat seriously.

I would not think it would be to long becuase of the way technology would/could be used in the Tribulation. Now as far as an EMP being a way we as a country are judged or how we could be finished off as far as a superpower, that I can see. But Obama is doing a good enough job of finishing us off and I think his election might just be we the peoples judment within itself. I apologize for any bad grammer.

I also agree they could carry out an EMP attack in such a way that we could not prove what state sponsored it. If you really think about it they are already enabling others to carry this out by giving Iran and N Korea missile and nuclear capabilities. In the Balkan wars Russia made a obvious threat that they could use this EMP technology against us. China probably would not do this as long as we are buying all their products but if that stops anything is possible especially if we get in a conflict with China about Taiwan. A EMP could happen today or some years in the future the real point is that by becoming totally dependent on electricity and electronics and just-in-time inventories we have made the fall of this nation very possible. It was only a few decades ago that our nation had strategic stockpiles of food and essential commodities. Somewhere along the line we became extremely careless with our mutually assured destruction policy. That does not work with some mad men who do not care about their people or if you do not know who carried out the attack. If the nation is no longer going to prepare to survive an attack from their enemies people are going to have to do it for themselves.
