Here are just a few headlines from today's news!
Is the Economic Crisis a Security Threat Too?
Could the deepening global recession boost the flagging efforts of Osama bin Laden to challenge the established global order? Probably not. But the signs are there that, as President Barack Obama's intelligence chief Admiral Dennis Blair warned last week, the economic crisis may be the source of the primary threat to global security right now. Security experts note that the economic downturn is already creating social unrest and political instability in some strategic hot spots around the world, and they warn that a prolonged slump could undermine U.S. and Western security interests.
Bosnia Faces Social Unrest, Political Crisis Looms
Protests against economic hardship are spreading in Bosnia and the war-scarred and divided country is finding it hard to cope-"The country ... is in crisis," said Fuad Kasumovic, deputy finance minister in the central cabinet. "More and more people are losing their jobs, industries cannot get funding and financing is becoming more expensive." Such problems are now familiar across Europe, but Bosnia, ethnically divided during and after the 1992-95 war, does not have an operational central government capable of dealing with social unrest.
Financial Crisis Sparks Unrest in Europe
The global financial and economic crisis has sparked many protests in parts of Europe. Thousands of Opel workers from around Germany took part in a mass rally on Thursday demanding parent General Motors scrap plans for plant closures in Europe.
Global Financial Crisis Fuels Pakistan Instability
The financial crisis that has spanned the globe has had an especially strong impact in countries beset by political uncertainty. Analysts say weak governments saddled with poorly performing economies are more vulnerable to social unrest and armed insurgency. According to analysts, Pakistan is one of the most prominent examples of a nation where economic pressures are feeding unrest and threatening a wobbly government.
We know we are headed towards the one world government/economy of the anti christ as prophesied in the word of God by just looking at todays headlines. World leaders have been meeting in Eruope and are calling for a global economy! The Bible tells us in Revelation 13:16-17:
16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Jesus told us when we saw these signs that our redemption is near!
Luke 21:25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
