Page 78 - Racing Toward Judgement
P. 78
State and local governments will hang over the brink of
bankruptcy.
The rich man thinks of his wealth as an im-
pregnable defense, a high wall of safety. What a
dreamer!
(Proverbs 18:11 LB)

The Fall of New York City
New York City faces economic and social disaster!
The sword of judgment hanging over that city will fall
suddenly. Overnight changes will happen—changes
never before known to the American mind. Bankruptcy
will happen! A temporary reprieve will falter. Short-
range encouraging signs will be swallowed up in light-
ninglike events that will bring on bankruptcy. America's
queen city will declare bankruptcy.
Trust in your money and down you go! Trust in
God and flourish as a tree!
(Proverbs 11:28 LB)
All your greedy businessmen, all your loan
sharks—all will die.
(Zephaniah 1:11 LB)

Shotgun Riders

Unpaid workers will take to the streets. Warehouses
will be looted by angry mobs of workers. Trucks will be
overturned in the streets. The produce markets will be-
come places of violence and bloodshed. Food suppliers
will ride into the city with shotgun riders. A wave of
union strikes will add to the confusion. Newark, New
Jersey, and surrounding metropolitan areas will follow
into bankruptcy. Police protection will become almost
nonexistent. Instead, unemployed members of police as-
sociations will join in acts of violence and looting.
