Shenanigans: secret or dishonest activity or maneuvering.
When the whole earth conducts business in your currency, you have the upper hand in their affairs. You force each country to play by your rules. Their currency is subservient to your currency during the good times. However, when the world’s reserve currency becomes abusive, other countries begin to question the status quo. This is now true of the U.S. Dollar. Ronald Reagan knew the power of controlling the reserve currency when he was president. He used economic means to cripple the U.S.S.R. and was successful. The U.S. has a history of meddling in other countries monetary systems who defy its supremacy. Was it a coincidence the Saddam Hussein was removed not too long after he tried to bypass the U.S. Dollar in Iraqi oil sales? Maybe it was a coincidence?
The U.S. utilizes its economic power to force its agenda throughout the world. Its military prowess is able to enforce its global plan. This infrastructure costs a tremendous amount of money to maintain. A country of 350 million is able to steer 6.5 billion in most economic affairs. If that country is righteous, Our Heavenly Father will make sure it succeeds, as HE did for the children of Israel. However, if lawlessness and wickedness infiltrate the affairs of a country, Our Heavenly Father becomes the adversary. HE will protect those whom HE has raised up. In the Book of Numbers, chapter 22, the children of Israel were under the protection of Our Heavenly Father. They camped in the plains of Moab on the side of the Jordan across from Jericho and the Moabites were afraid of them. Balak sends for Balaam the prophet to prophesy against them. Our Heavenly Father intervenes:
12 And God said to Balaam, “You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.”
HE would not allow Balaam to go and make a declaration against the Israelites. How would you like HIM to intervene on your behalf?
Numbers 22:22 22 Then God’s anger was aroused because he went, and the Angel of the LORD took His stand in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
The donkey could see the angel and would not continue the journey. Ultimately, Balaam had a conversation with his donkey. This miracle is just one example of what Our Heavenly Father will do to protect HIS Blessed People. HIS people are those who are the disciples of Jesus walking this earth today. How do you know if you are one of those disciples? Ask Jesus:
John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
As the shenanigans continue, we must continue in our steadfastness to focus on loving mankind. Those who are the targets of the financial weapons of mass destruction need to be loved just as much as our next door neighbor. You may be called to intercede for their wellbeing. Pursue Love and you will be called upon to minister on HIS behalf. The wickedness will ultimately be removed, just as it was in the days of Noah.
