A Stock Market Collapse
The stock market will plunge again. The federal
government will not be able to bail out the cities falling
into bankruptcy. Fear will once again prevail over the
American economy, one disaster will precipitate an-
other. Drought will escalate food prices. This nation is
headed for runaway inflation, and all the mental wiz-
ardry of our most brilliant experts will not be able to
turn the tide. What worked before to take the steam out
of inflation will this time only be fuel for the fire.
God clearly warns in the Bible that judgment zones
are inflicted with high energy and fuel costs. When Is-
rael was under punishment from God, the people cried,
"We must even pay for water to drink; our fuel is sold
to us at the highest of prices" (Lamentations 5:4 LB.
Italics added).
Your income disappears, as though you were
putting it into pockets filled with holes!
(Haggai 1:6L13)
Rising Unemployment
What God did to the city of Jerusalem in the time
of the prophet Zechariah, He will again do to the cities
of America. When building the temple, the inhabitants
were reminded what God did when judgment was upon
them: ". . . there were no jobs, no wages, no security
• . . crime was rampant" (Zechariah 8:10 La).
The prophet Hosea gives a vivid description of what
can happen overnight to a business boom. He said it
vanishes like dew, blows away like chaff, and disappears
Eke smoke:
Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud,
and as the early dew that passeth away, as the
chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the
floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
(Hosea 13:3xJv)
