Check out these clips. First off is Glenn Beck talking about how a one world currency is the end game because we are in a global depression:

And secondly, I found this on Digg...say what you will about Ron Paul but he sees it clear too. He made some good points on how the economy is basically based on debt, and how the bailout package was just a frantic response by our government...we're all hurdling toward a one world currency:

I am amazed that the financial crisis happened overnight...but I am now convinced things are in place to set up for Christ's return.

If you have me saying that, that means something. I always believed we wouldn't see Christ come back for His children in my lifetime...but my line of thinking is that of course the rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer and unfortunately there will be no middle class.

Those of us in the middle class will be poor too, which reinforces the fact that we need to cling to Jesus more than ever before. Sad that it took a lot of Christians this long to realize that fact (including myself), but it's time to put our hands to the plow and not look back.

I also am convinced that we will be in for a long period of suffering, but in effect it will be an effective witnessing tool...people left and right will start realizing Jesus is the only way out of this. We're the ones that will need to help them.

Of course the economy is only one of the reasons we are hurtling toward the end times, but a bunch of other things. It was, however, the economy that made me realize Jesus' return is imminent -- and the fact it happened so suddenly should be a call to action for us all as followers of Christ.

Chris I too was watching this week and seeing this bullet points.
World this and world that. G7 etc.. Global

I have heard some of the guys on tv saying that a world bank or international bank would be awful but in the next interviewer they are talking about globla banks failing.

the thing about 1 world governement, etc.

It will make absolute sense to do it.

World wide stock failure. makes sense..

Kind of makes you see how Revelation 18:17 could so easily come to pass.

Sometimes God uses stressful times to draw people unto Himself;
Is the church ready?

Eagerbeaver,

Are you saying this in a serious kind of way? Meaning, are you claiming perhaps that the Holy Spirit has quickened something on the inside of you that has brought about a change in mind?

Without dragging all the controversy of doctrine relating to end time events, it is my hope that many more are quickened to the signs of our times.

I pretty much agree with this statement. I would probably change the word "sometimes" to always or most of the time.

Yes, five times over and then some.

Yes, the end times signs are all around us

Agreed. I was one of the "sometimes".

Is it just me or is it kind of a surreal experience to witness these things coming to pass before our very eyes?! It's almost like being in an end times movie if that makes any sense.

As long as the movie is better than the Left Behind ones I agree with you.

I don't know. Over acting and cheesy special effects could be kinda nice...

Berlusconi Says Leaders May Close World's Markets (Update1)

By Steve Scherer

Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said political leaders are discussing the idea of closing the world's financial markets while they ``rewrite the rules of international finance.''

``The idea of suspending the markets for the time it takes to rewrite the rules is being discussed,'' Berlusconi said today after a Cabinet meeting in Naples, Italy. A solution to the financial crisis ``can't just be for one country, or even just for Europe, but global.''

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell as much 8.1 percent in early trading and pared most of those losses after Berlusconi's remarks. The Dow was down 0.5 percent to 8540.52 at 10:10 in New York.

Group of Seven finance ministers and central bankers are meeting in Washington today, and will stay in town for the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings this weekend. European Union leaders may gather in Paris on Oct. 12, three days before a scheduled summit in Brussels, Berlusconi said today, while Group of Eight leaders may hold a meeting on the crisis ``in coming days,'' he said.

Berlusconi didn't give any details about what kind of rules leaders were looking to change, except to say that leaders are ``talking about a new Bretton Woods.''

The Bretton Woods Agreements were adopted to rebuild the international economic system after World War II in a hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. The aim of the agreements was to establish a monetary management system, initially by pegging currencies to gold. The IMF was set up later to help manage the international financial system.

I would generally not be overly concerned with stock market or dow jones talk, but when you see several hundred jobs lost at multiple local companies in one week... it causes one to take notice. When global financial woes impact local economies, one becomes connected by default.

Where I work we are working 24/6 and may go to 24/7 and they are hiring left and right.

I'm more concered about our possible first Socialist President, than looking for "signs" that are the same "signs" since the world began.

Just stating the obvious here. Be thankful concerning your local job market as it could change overnight. It's only been just a few months since the economy in our area was healthy.

I do agree concerning the President.
