Amen, Brother Glen. God is in control. Darkness is coming....soon. We have been given a little time to do what we can before it become very difficult. I believe the economy is doing much better. The numbers are not what they used to be. So, it is hard to believe we can compare statistics of today with the numbers from 1969.
What Jim has pointed out is good. Just because things are good now, we are on the edge of disaster, including economic disaster. All one has to do is ask what is going to happen when inflation heats up and interest rates go higher. The interest paid on the national debt in America is unbelievable at today's rate. Imagine what happens when the rate doubles or triples!
Couple that with the disasters that require huge amounts of money. These will continue to increase. Insurance companies will suffer bankruptcy. The government cannot pay for all that will need to be done. Right now the East Coast is preparing for Michael. We have not yet experienced hundreds of thousands dying in these disasters. But, the time is soon coming. And as Jim has said, all will think things are all peace and safety.
