No way - it's just another excuse to make doomsday predictions.

Is this the big one?

Post by MercynGrace »

This isn't the first time people are predicting the end of the world as we know it. People have been seeing "the anti-christ" for years in the form of one international figure or another and some have been prophesying the collapse of society and major calamities for decades now.

I had a teacher in the early 90s that swore her husband would not return from the first gulf war (he did) and that that war would end in Armeggedon (it didn't). So, I'm curious to know how many of you think the economic collapse may be the real deal. I'm posting the poll so folks can vote anonymously. Every "scare" (war, recession, outbreak, etc) is a call to repentance and a chance for the righteous to further prepare so I don't want to downplay the importance of those events even when they don't necessarily lead to the Lord's immediate return or Adam-ondi-Ahman. I'm just curious to know how we are all interpreting the economic crisis.

I would say it is most likely not. Never say never right? But again, I hardly believe this is the "end". I would say we most likely have about 10-40 years until that happens. 4-6 until we join the NWO.

I know there are many people on this forum that believe that this is the end though.

spence, it would be lovely if you were right.

I don't think we have the 4-6 years until the NWO is in place. Things have been happening faster and faster, like a woman in travail. It's difficult waiting for these things to happen. We know they will, but we don't know when and it can make you crazy wondering about the timeline. I will take each day as it comes and consider every new day that I am able to prepare, a gift.

If we have the four years, it will be because the Lord still has some work to be done. I believe those who are engineering these crises are getting anxious to implement their plans because they are so close now!

I think we will have to be pretty destitute for an extended period of time for us to accept the NWO, I could be wrong, but who knows. The LDG's have been very patient so far...

What was the line in Lady in the Water, something about something having to happen to accelerate thinking. Yeah it could be something that takes years, but if there is some kind of "event" most people could be persuaded fairly easily. Just look at New Orleans in Katrina. We are soft if food starts getting hard to come by what will the masses do? What happens if we have a pandemic, what will the masses do? We dont REALLY know how to deal with a crisis anymore. Just look what's happening now that people cant buy what they want when they want it.

Total economic collapse in the next two years or shorter, civil disobedience on a massive scale about two to fours years from now and Christ comes about 25 years form now. Guessing is fun, isn't it?!!!!!

:lol: It can be...

I started this thread because I know that often we get caught up in the conjecture and speculation as more of an academic exercise - a hypothetical. There are too many "what if" threads on LDSFF to count. I was curious to see how people are really thinking - hence the anonymous poll.

Wasn't it Holder who said never to waste a crisis. I've heard that other PTB have said something similar in years past. If there is no natural "event", the PTB are certainly able to manufacture one.

An aside: Two of my consulting clients are hedge fund managers. Both of them are looking for extremely safe, remote, and self-sufficient rural retreats. Who can blame them? More than most other observers and certainly more that the still clueless talking heads on CNBC, hedge fund managers can see the enormity of the economic crisis, its full implications and the most likely final outcome. And that outcome will be a lot more like The Road Warrior than it will be It's a Wonderful Life.

Having now watched this from the Political side and the spiritual side for 25 + years. I will say this. There have been some false starts, some “almost” moments in time. But we are now looking at something that is now what you would call a "perfect storm" This is the first time our President along with all other organizations and religious groups are saying the same thing. When all sides are saying we are looking at the worse possible scenario happening.....it really makes you stop and take a real look this time. Many are stuck in the "all is well in Zion" and just think it will never happen our life time. We must keep in mind we are told it will happen fast.

The one thing I believe has held them back was the righteousness of the saints and in the America public in general. Also the Lord will not allow the total collapse before the harvest is peeked.

But things are changing rather quickly. American more then ever has turned its back on God and now turning to the Occult in the millions including LDS and not even knowing they are doing that. They do it in ignorance. This means we are getting riper by the day to be wiped off for God will not allow this. We have been warned what will happen. The only chance this is just another false start is if America wakes up and becomes humble and turns to God. We can not say that is not completely out of the question yet though it does not look hopeful. Right now we are only living on the Mercy of God for the level of wickedness that we are in.

One of the things that makes me think we may have entered into “the big one” is the occult is now proclaiming we have. They say we have crossed over the pivotal point “the shift”. They have never said that before. The socialists and communists and NWO are gleeful….none of that looks good.

The only way to delay this is if we can find a way to Unite as Saints and with the good people of American and fight together. God may grant us more time if we give Him reason to.

I believe an economic collapse will be part of the end of the world as we know it, but not the main cause. I believe the increasing violence in our country will be a cause, if not the main cause. Sometimes I wonder if we even notice how the love of many has waxed cold and continues to wax cold. I also wonder if we can see the connection between our violence and hate and contempt for each other and the violence of nature, which seems to be generally increasing over time.
