MY THOUGHTS

There is a covert war between Iran and Israel.  Today, some Israeli diplomats were targeted in two foreign countries by Iran.  Only God is holding back the tide of violence that will sweep across the globe in the near future.  We see some of this violence as Greece battles against the bankers and technocrats in Europe.  As the Spiritual battle heats up you will see more deception, violence, and rumors of wars.  Stay strong, you were chosen for this time because you can endure the temptations, sins, and deception that is here and will be coming.

Don't you feel the wheels are coming off, but it just has not totally happened yet.  Maybe I am simplifying it too much, but there is much going on behind the scenes, and only God is holding everything back from falling apart.  In time, all things will come out as believers will be persecuted, great ecological events will transpire, economic collapse through hyperinflation, and wars will ravage the earth.  Already, the European Central Bank (ECB) is pumping money into the system which is increasing the inflation throughout the world.  Along with the American Fed, inflation is and will continue to grip the world as traditional currencies become obsolete. 

The EU is very confident they can handle Greece.  I don't think so.  I believe Greece is closer to economic calamity than many think.  I don't know if they will reach March 20^th.  If Greece goes under, then it will be very bad for the markets, but if it brings down Italy and/or Spain, then all bets are off.  It will be very ugly.  Everyone will be affected, and a new world system will have to be in place to save the rich rulers and bankers.  You couple this with Israel and Iran and we have the prophetic picture lying before us. The question is if the European Neighborhood Policy is not the seven year treaty, then another one must be laid, and where and when will that happen?  Time will tell.

SCRIPTURE

Matthew 24: 3-8

As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the ^[b]end of the age?"

 ⁴ And Jesus answered and said to them, "See to it that no one misleads you. ⁵ For many will come in My name, saying, ?I am the ^[c]Christ,' and will mislead many. ⁶ You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. ⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. ⁸ But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

NEWS LINK

Time will tell whether Europe is adequately prepared for what is ahead or whether the actions and statements from this past week merely reflect overconfidence, but I'd remind readers that no one was speaking or acting like this back in October when the market was lower.

To borrow a term from Nicholas Spiro of Spiro Sovereign Strategy in London, thanks to rising confidence Europe has built a "psychological firewall." We believe and European leaders themselves believe that there are sufficient preparations in place to prevent contagion. But please recognize that if confidence turns down, not only will markets be lower, but our own confidence in Europe's preparedness and our perceptions of the willingness and ability of European leaders to cope with the crisis will also deteriorate.

I hope it doesn't come to that, but based on news reports out of Greece, I suspect we may, even sooner than we thought.
