This was a wild week in the stock markets worldwide. Ben Bernanke told us that he was going to keep interest rates low for another two years which does not bode well for retirees who have bank CD’s that they rely on for income. Once again, savers are being thrown under the bus for borrowers, mainly banks. The good news is that if you can lower your borrowing rate on an existing loan, do it. Gold reached new highs this week but silver has not yet responded. Not to worry, once the masses wake up to the fact that central banks will continue to depreciate their currencies, both gold and silver will skyrocket. Mining shares will act like tech stocks in the late 90’s. Unless the central bankers receive some revelation other than their current belief system, the globe is headed for some serious trouble. Statistical manipulation only works so long before reality forces a day of reconciliation. It is always my hope that my loved ones are spared tough economic times but frankly I don’t see a way out for them other than to be prepared for the upheavals that appear imminent. Preparation includes getting closer to Our Heavenly Father as the first priority. Hearing His Voice will allow us to navigate through the potentially treacherous times ahead. Is it the end of the world? No. It is the end of an age of greed that will be replaced by the Age of Agape Love. Mankind will cease to exploit the weak and instead minister to them and lift them up out of the ditch. Man’s systems will give way to Our Heavenly Father’s economy and methods of doing business. Employees will no longer be discarded as unneeded expense. Employees will utilize their gifts to enhance economic success. Revelation will unlock new energy sources, healthcare costs will go down due to Divine intervention, and toxic exposures will be neutralized. Drug addiction will cease once it is replaced by the Love that will fill the vacuum in that person’s life.
The Sabbath will truly become a day of rest for all. Men will realize that working six days and resting one creates a rhythm that produces more than working seven straight days. As we become united in honoring the Sabbath, healing will occur. We will begin to understand the rhythm of the universe, the rhythm of the body, and the rhythm of society. Magnetic attraction will replace force-based solutions. Men will shed possessions that they cannot “Love” and those possessions will move to those in need. Offsite storage businesses will lose customers as this balancing effect takes place. As Love replaces force, peace will break out and the military-industrial complex will be dismantled.
I expect volatility to continue as the shaking of the current system continues. Ben Bernanke’s job is to stabilize a system that inherently cannot last for much longer. It’s like herding cats.
