The Perfect Storm Prophetic Headlines

Session 3: Disasters & Collapsing Systems

I.Intro:

The prophecies about political unrest coming to America that we looked at in our last session are quite disturbing. However the political crisis will be greatly impacted and escalated by all of the unrelated disasters and collapsing systems that are also promised in these coming years. This session looks at the Terry Bennett and John Paul Jackson’s headlines that detail future tragedies that spanning from the economic realm to geophysical catastrophes.

II.Banking and Insurance

Terry and John Paul have both spoken about the Lord’s judgment coming upon the banking and insurance systems because of the roots of greed and injustice at their core. While the headlines do not focus on those two major components of global economics it is important to factor into our processing what a major impact each of these spheres have. The ideas presented below are merely possible ways that these systems may come to fall; the ideas are my own and do not necessarily reflect Terry Bennett or John Paul Jackson’s statements or perspective. What they do however is paint a picture of the potential outcomes left in the wake of the fulfillment of their headlines.

  1. Collapse of Banking:
  1. Setting the stage:

The banking industry relies heavily on mortgage money, that is the funds tied to residential and commercial loans. Which under normal circumstances works fine and has afforded a large percentage of the American population to get into homes without having the cash on hand to purchase such a large investment.

  1. Potential situation:

In the case where hyper-inflation were to take place to extreme lengths, say if it were to reach 1000% inflation on the current value of the dollar fixed rate mortgages (which still make up the majority of loans) would be in serious trouble. In hyper-inflation wages have to follow suite with the rise of the cost of goods and cost of living. This ends up creating ridiculous situations where in the above described scenario a loaf of bread that currently costs $1 all of the sudden costs $10 (Example: Russia hit over 2300% inflation in December of 1992). When wages are adjusted to account for this inflation a person’s salary could quickly also see that same sort of inflated adjustment; was making $10k a year now making possibly in the upper 80’s or more.

  1. Impact on mortgages.

Mortgages are for a fixed amount and do not take into consideration inflation. So if you own $100,000 on you house, that number doesn’t change no matter what happens to the value of the dollar. If now all the sudden people are making 10 times per month what they were making before it is possible that they could pay off their house loans in a much shorter period of time. But the money the bank is now receiving isn’t worth near as much as it was when they loaned it out.

  1. Fall of major banks:

It wouldn’t take but maybe a million loans to go south like what is being described here for even the largest of US Banks (Bank of America) to be completely unable to remain in business.

  1. Collapse of Insurance Companies:
  1. Setting the stage:

Insurance companies exist by operating on a simple principle; they are counting on the fact that bad things will happen, but that the cost of the sum of all claims will stay within a certain percentage rate of what is collected.

  1. Potential situation:

In the case that all of the disasters that the headlines describe were to unfold in a short few year period of time the insurance companies would be in serious trouble. Tens of thousands of people making unexpected claims all in the same short period of time would total many times the amount previously collected by these companies. This would put insurers in an impossible financial situation, they would have to default on paying out to customers and eventually go out of business.

III.Financial Collapse:

The headlines in this section tell a grim story of what is going to hit the US economy; again it is noteworthy that Terry Bennett was given time frame of June 2011 to June of 2015 as being the season that this wave of difficulties would transpire. The economic landscape will forever be altered by these trends and events; these things will change the American way of life in substantial ways.

  2. Did you ever think you would witness such things in your lifetime?
  3. What does God mean in all this transition and upheaval?

IX.Major Reasoning Behind this Series:

  1. Stir Up Our Concern:

Shouldn’t all of this cause us great concern? If we have been even half attempting to process the things discussed in this series then we should be really alarmed. God’s intent in giving us the information ahead of time is to cause us a certain degree of unrest and to be greatly concerned for our future wellbeing.

  1. Preparing for the Transition:

There is nothing you can do to get ready for this. Reading a book on earthquake safety tips isn’t going to prepare you for what’s coming, that’s the point there is no amount of natural preparation that can ready a person for what is coming; it is unprecedented. God is the one bringing the shaking and He doesn’t want people to have natural answers, He’s kicking out all the props on purpose to cause everyone to fall to their knees and lean on Him as the only solution.

  1. Call us to Pray:
  1. Unavoidable difficulties:

Jesus told us that the last generation would face great troubles and that there was only one prescription for how to make it and I’ll give you a tip it wasn’t you will not be able to think your way out, buy your way out, or prepare your way out of the coming difficulties, they will come upon all who live on the face of the whole earth.

  1. Divine strategies:

If the Lord gives you a personal direction to read up on something or to store goods in a bunker or to buy ammo or any other initiative then I suggest you follow His leading, but any of these efforts are of your own invention they will prove futile when the time comes. My suggestion is to follow more sure Biblical means of preparation.

  1. The Biblical prescription:

Jesus tells us clearly how we are to prepare for such things. He makes the prescription so clear it’s insulting; we are to pray and to join with others who are doing so. It is really a call to form godly communities with prayer at the center.

“I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man (Lk. 21:32-34).”

  1. Only Logical Response:
  1. No matter the cost:

I want to encourage everyone who hears this message either now, online or in the future. Whatever it may cost you join or form a community that actually prays and fasts for God’s purposes.
