Tribulation and the Stock Market
You know how it says in the Bible, 7 heads with 10 horns of the dragon. Whether you are a Christian or not, follow this line of reasoning, in very specific detail. These words are chosen precisely and carefully: Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. Sea represents nations. These 10 king heads (Rev. 12.3) are not yet crowned today, but when they are then they crown the dragon. Look how Revelation 13.1 applies to this article of the 7 heads and 10 horns. http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/040112/economy_g10_2.html
The G10 bankers group are the 10 horns (who are not yet crowned in Rev. 12.3) and the G7 head countries today as well as historically are the 5 of the heads in history (explained below) plus 2 more. 10 kings are minor kings. We know the names of the 5 previous emperors that died a gruesome death, and so did the 6th, who we know also.
The 7 heads are the 7 supreme kings. Since the heads are bigger than the horns and the latter are on the heads, the seven heads and ten horns must stand for seven emperors and ten kings. The Antichrist is the 1st beast as well as the 7th head. 12.3 “upon his heads seven diadems,” and 13.1 “on his horns ten diadems”.
Rev. 17.10 they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain only a little while.
Rev. 17.12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.
Who are the five fallen? At the time of John when writing five had fallen already in sequence (exact names known), but a after the 5th one reigned (“one is”) which was Domitian (6th) who also died a gruesome death shortly after. “The other is not yet come”. Or has he?
According to 17.11 As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to perdition.
By these words of verse 11 there are seven souls, seven bodies (see 17.10), yet eight live for the eighth one is also one of the original seven and more precisely one of the first five (Revived Nero, 5th). He had died (by a falling stock market from “irrational exuberance”, actually the largest stockmarket bubble in human history, Nasdaq had a P/E of 245 years) and is now reanimated 5th (as Sir Alan Greespan the 8th from the 7th, 7th being 13 useless rate cutes and Keynsian spending).
By the middle of the Tribulation that started with elected Bush, Nov., 2000, 3.5 years later to the middle of the Tribulation where the sacrifices end (sacrificing jobs, low income wage earners, transferring from 1% rates into sugarplums of a stockmarket return), brings us us to May, 2004. The idol of Greenspan’s power (1st beast Antichrist Nero) has been accepted. Truly a member of the evil trio of the unholy trinity. The whole world will consider him as god. The dragon backs him (G10 bankers and G7 countries). That article said the G10 back Bush (2nd beast False Prophet Judas) to destroy the USA currency (thus backing Greenspan). The False Prophet (Bush) speaks for the Antichrist (Greenspan).
Rev. 13.12 this second beast (George Bush, revived Judas) works by means of the authority of the first beast (Alan Greenspan, revived Nero).
“Son of perdition” – John 17.12 which distinctly points to Judas (who was one of Christ’s apostles just as Bush says he is a Christian). 2 Thessalonians 2.3 alludes to the Antichrist. In John 6 the Lord calls Judas “a devil” v.70. Judas therefore ranks among this trio of evil:
1. Satan the great dragon with its 7 heads and 10 horns
2. 1st beast Antichrist
3. 2nd beast False Prophet.
Which one of the 7 is the Antichrist that goes to perdition? It can’t be the 6th or the 7th for the 6th was at the time of John referring to Domitan. Since he is neither the 6th nor the 7th, therefore he must be one of the five. And 13.18 reveals it must be Nero. What is the number of the Antichrist? “Nero Ceaser” = greek equivalent numbers 666.
The 7th is a forerunner of the Antichrist. The 8th will use the body of the 7th. 8 being the number of resurrection; but this is not Biblical resurrection, but more like reanimation of Nero. So Alan Greenspan seemed to have failed, but now APPEARS to have succeeded saving the US economy and global conditions are rebounding, even though USA has record setting debt/gdp of 360%, and Japan’s is even worse. The difference is Japan has a trade surplus, USA has a 500 billion trade deficit, and a 500 billion budget deficit with massive onslaught of retiring baby boomers but no money to fund their retirement.
The “mark of the beast” must be visible for it will be “stamped” on the body in order to allow people to buy or sell to show that now he is an open follower of Satan. No doubt such people do not have Christ in them. What is the mark? Is it a chip implant? Or is it mutual funds? Or is it Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Or is it 120 trillion in nominal derivatives? Or is it the Pensions and Stock Options problem? Or is it USA government’s 44 trillion shortfall coming due? We will find out in the next 3.5 years called the Great Tribulation. During this punishment for the sins of inordinate debt, Great Babylon (USA, political “Rome”, Rev. 18) will fall, how hard I do not know. But I do know the shipping merchants of the world will cry:
Rev. 18.17-19 And in one single moment all the wealth of the city is gone!" And all the ship owners and captains of the merchant ships and their crews will stand at a distance. They will weep as they watch the smoke ascend, and they will say, "Where in all the world is there another city like this?" And they will throw dust on their heads to show their great sorrow. And they will say, "How terrible, how terrible for the great city! She made us all rich from her great wealth. And now in a single hour it is all gone." Unable to sell goods to her anymore. It will happen very quickly. No one will want USA dollars USA dollar has already collapsed 33% against the Euro.
Conclusion: So there you have it. From Bush’s election in Nov. 2000 the 7 years of Tribulation begins. Approximately May, 2004 is the middle of Tribulation which equates to 1195 on the S&P500 to short at. Incidently this agrees with the astrological superstitious Bradley Model straight on and Elliote Wave Theory for a massive wave B before we see the Great Tribulation wave C. Can you be patient enough to wait to short? This coincides with the Dow at 5000 and Gold at 1000 for a more reasonable Dow to Gold Ratio of 5:1 and the S&P500 dropping into the 600 range as well as the Nasdaq going under 1000. This is the best I can forsee occurring sometime before 2007 as this behemoth rolls over around May, 2004 in the middle of the Tribulation and Antichrist and the False Prophet break their promise that their work would save us. Liars.
Then Christ returns from the clouds. 1 Thess. 4.15, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout”.
