Dreaming of being a future New York Yankee!
Hello,
The Bible has things to say about the economy of the world just before Jesus comes the second time. Think about it for a moment. When many of us were young, the economy of the United States was the only economy that mattered. The 1929 Stock Market Crash set off a world wide economic depression that ultimately ended in world war.
The post-war economic boom was led by the United States. Europe, as a viable economic entity, did not exist, and what remained of the European economy was in shambles. Europe was an economic basket case requiring the U.S.-led Marshall Plan to rebuild it. This process took more than a half-century.
Yet the Apostle John fortold this exact scenario, from exile, sitting on the Isle of Patmos, almost 2000 years ago. Only 20 years ago, the concept of America's economy being eclipsed by Europe was laughable.
But this morning, the headline reads: "Greenspan says Euro could replace U.S. dollar as reserve currency."
Jesus is coming soon. Are you ready?
Shalom,
Bill
