23 July 2011 – The Coming Economic Storm

There is a coming economic storm but like all natural weather storms it will only affect certain areas but not all. It would especially affect USA and the currency of the dollar. Everyone knows it but is trying to remain positive although they can see the dark clouds forming over USA. It will have a permanent effect on USA but a temporal effect on the whole world because of its reliance on trade with USA. Countries that move its trade away from reliance on USA will fare better than others. Eventually, all countries will adapt to the change in the economic scene where USA is no longer the world power. As stated in the prophecy at the beginning of this year, China will have a temporal dominance and then not too far into the future, Europe. It is ordained of God from the spiritual realm that the world scene changes: UK was the world power in the 19th Century, USA in the 20th Century, and eventually Europe in the 21st Century. China is only a temporary transit between the change from USA to Europe. Once Europe plows through its debt situation, it will lead the world. Until then, China leads. What is happening in Europe is preparing the way for the dominance of the anti-Christ. First the union will be consolidated to give more power to the central HQ organizationally, and in the coming future allow a single individual to dominate the centralized power within the organization. In the meantime, the lack of transparency in the Chinese economy with a lot of hidden debts and lack of checks and balances within the economic system, will be the archilles’ heel that brings its dominance down.

The coming storm cannot be prevented but like an ocean wave can be ridden by a skilful surfer. The purpose of this storm being allowed is the required transition of the world into one in which USA is no longer the dominant power. The history of mankind has shown that no country or empire or kingdom dominates the world forever. The prophecies of Daniel shown transitions between 4 great empires that rule the world (Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greek and Roman). The last empire before the coming of Christ is the rule of the ten toes, which eventually is dominated by the anti-Christ (Daniel 7:23-27). Those in the Lord, even those who live in USA, should not panic nor be disturbed in these world events and through the coming storm. Overall its impact will be short and swift with the world recovering surprisingly quickly.Daniel and the Israelites within the Babylonian Empire lived through the transitions of power still blessed by the Lord. The same can happen to those who are aware of it and live being led by the Spirit. Reliance on investments in USA must be reduced and directed towards Asia and Oceania which will bear the storm best. In Europe, those not reliant on immediate returns will find good pickings and bargains if your investment is long term. During the storm, would be the time to pick the best investments in USA as it hits the bottom of the barrel, so all is not lost in USA.

Like Isaac, sow in famine and reap the harvest (Genesis 26:1, 12). Like Joseph, let wisdom be your guide to discern the seasons and times. No famine, not even the seven years of famine in Joseph’s time, prevented him from profiting  (Genesis 47:13-26). The areas most affected will be like the famine of Joseph’s time: failure of money (Gen 37:15), failure of crops (Gen 37:13), bread and food will be in demand and shortage (Gen 37:15-17). Wealth will change hands – livestock, lands and properties became Pharaoh (Gen 37:18-26). You still can prosper when lead by the Spirit. God is your sail to go through the storm.

 Be well, be strong for the grace of God is more than sufficient for you, Ps Peter Tan
