The title should tweak your interest, it did mine. I receive a few Christian monthly newsletters by mail. In recent years I must confess that many of them were not personally relevant to me but nonetheless I scan the newsletters for topics of interest. Last Thursday morning (early) I opened one newsletter and this was the first article, “America’s Coming Super Depression”. The writer had a prophetic dream in early 2009 and in it, he was speaking to a financial expert who told him in mid-August of 2010, wheels would be put into motion to abandon the US dollar. After this, everything was going to change! On August 15, 2009, he had a confirming dream. In the second dream, he found himself at a food court in a shopping mall. The only restaurant still open was labeled “School Cafeteria”. The food should be cheap, maybe $2 for a meal, but a plate of food was $30. He protested and walked out and suddenly a Chinese restaurant appeared. He ordered coffee and the Chinese waiter said “Coffee – $10”. Again he was shocked and angry that it cost so much money and walked away. The dream ended. In a third dream, he was hungry and was in the cafeteria of an actual school. All of the other people in line were adults. “What is the special?” he inquired. “It’s Thanksgiving dinner. It is five meals for $99 and if you want that price, you need five people in your group”. He protested. The dream was over.
I must admit that after reading this, I wasn’t sure if I was to react to it. After all, I have heard hundreds, maybe thousands, of prophetic words over the years. Christian TV has had prophecy teachers proclaiming the demise of most every nation for years. However, this time is different. Two hours after I read this newsletter, my lovely wife awoke and came into the office and greeted me with a question, “What?’ She explained that she just had a dream where she and I were in a Chinese restaurant having dinner. I leaned over to her and said, “There’s something I want to tell you, guess what?”. She awoke and The Lord told her to ask me “What?”. I showed her the article in the newsletter that had the “Chinese connection”. We asked Our Heavenly Father about the article and the dream. HE indicated to us that I was to share this on the blog thus I have now done so.
Any good businessman hopes for the best, prepares for the worst. Our Heavenly Father issues warnings not to scare us but to prepare us. If violence is coming, we should be prepared to go through it by faith, not by fear. The attitude of entitlement and arrogance of the U.S. has set itself up for lamentations. Our Heavenly Father will evoke a corrective judgment on nations who move toward godlessness. The adversaries of the U.S. have been empowered by this attitude. Homeland Security has spent billions and still cannot keep airplanes safe. Another homeland attack is inevitable since the covering of THE LORD has been lifted. These prophetic warnings are to be heeded even though we all know that Our Heavenly Father may evoke mercy at any time and avert the judgment. Unless this happens, lawlessness will be dealt with by righteous judgment and the “books” will be reconciled.
We have been led to buy glass storage containers to hold staple foods. As you may know, plastic leaches into the food and is a toxin so those baggies are not the best to store food in. Many foods do not have a long shelf life so a 90 day revolving food supply would be a good investment. The current national food distribution chain assumes about a 20-25 day inventory of food. Local vegetable gardening will flourish as will the art of canning. Maybe its time to assess your food pantry and begin accumulating to a 90 day supply. Seek out a local food co-op and join it. Calamity occurs for a season and we should prepare for that season knowing that judgment will not be eternal. Remember HE loves us.
