Earthly power will always pursue war to sustain its lust for more power. The European Union will ultimately look to war in order to maintain its rise to power. “We will do whatever it takes to maintain the European Union.” is the rallying cry of the head of the EU Central Bank. Economic data is getting worse among some of the countries and the worse is yet to come.
The U.S. has been in Afghanistan longer than both World Wars together. Have we accomplished anything noteworthy? The cost of lives, the wounded families, the tremendous resources, and the path of righteousness have all been major hits to America. Our economy continues to spiral into deeper debt. John Williams of shadowstats.com is convinced we will move into hyper-inflation soon. He begins:
“U.S. Fiscal Circumstances Simply Are Not Sustainable
The 2012 fiscal condition of the United States suffered its worst annual deterioration in the history of the Republic. Based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP-based accounting), the actual federal deficit hit a record $6.6 trillion in the year ended September 30, 2012, a level that was fully 42% of the nation’s annual GDP.”
It is imperative that we focus our attention of Our Heavenly Father, not the earthly wisdom that got us to this point. HE will redeem us, not a bigger government handing out: a welfare check, a free cell phone with 300 monthly minutes, free internet, cash for clunkers, food stamps, section 8 housing, free contraceptives, Medicaid, ninety-nine weeks of unemployment, free medicine.
Man uses war to fix the symptoms of the problems when all he needs to do is look into the mirror.
