In 2000 God told me, "it is 1922." I took this to mean that in seven years there will be a stock market crash like the one of 1929. Later, I found a fellow who had a vision of a pocket watch, on the watch it had seven minutes to midnight, then it dropped and hit the pavement and busted. He did not know what it meant, but I suggested that it could be the stockmarket, and he said that it sounded right. He had the vision in 2000, seven minutes to midnight would give 2007.

How severe it could be, I do not know, I expect it will probably be as bad as the Great Depression of the 1930s, or worse. But for several years already many people have lost their retirement nest eggs with the collapse of Enron, Worldcom, and other companies. This was a warning that has not been heeded. Perhaps the event that will take away the big millionaire type retirement accounts is not an economic depression but some other investment market, bond market collapse of some kind. I don't know that investment stuff.

I am not saying for absolute certainty that there will be a stockmarket crash in 2007, but if I had any IRA money I would not have it in any account that is invested in the stockmarket. Most IRAs are invested with companies that have their money in the stockmarket.

Many Christians in America are millionaires because of their retirement accounts. Have you ever wondered why the Christians in America are prosperous while the Christians in Asia or Africa are poor? Is it because the Christians in America have more faith or are able to plant more seed money? No, it is because the Christians in America live in America! The nonChristians are also prosperous. It is not faith, it is our economy that is responsible for the prosperity in America. Of course God has blessed America, but the Christians are not using the money God has given them to help their poor brothers and sisters, therefore God is going to take away their money.

The Bible says that greed is idolatry, which means the Christians in America are guilty of idolatry and the preachers are guilty of leading the people into idolatry. Even those preachers that do not teach the gospel of wealth teach that it is ok to be rich. It is not just the Charismatics that are guilty of materialism. The parking lots of many churches are like Cadilac showrooms. Therefore God is going to bring economic disaster upon America. God is going to take away the retirement accounts and vacation homes, the sports cars and diamond rings. God is going to teach the money-loving Christians in America a lesson that money cannot buy. God is going to give the money-loving Christians in America spiritual gold which comes only by being refined in fire.

Rather than sending money to help the Christians around the world, the Christians in America are eating up sermons about "money cometh" and "who wants to be a millionaire." There are millions of homeless children throughout the world that are NOT being helped by the prosperous Christians in America, therefore God is going to take the money away from the rich Christians who still don't have enough. Money is not going to "cometh," money is going to goeth. God commands that we share our wealth with those that don't have enough, but American Christians are using the money on themselves.

Those who are poor are not poor because they don't pay tithes or because they don't have enough faith; the apostle John said if we see our brother in need and do not help him, "how can the love of God be in him" (1 John 3:17). This passage tells us that Christian brothers will be in need, it also tells us that we are responsible for helping our brothers in need. There are NUMEROUS other passages, but they are being ignored by the Laodicean Christians who say, "Give us no more visions of what is right! Tell us pleasant things, prophesy illusions" (Isaiah 30:10).

UPDATE: this has been on my web site since 2000. For seven years I warned people of the coming economic problems. I removed it in early 2008, thinking that maybe things were not as bad as I had predicted, but then things just kept getting worse, but it all started in 2007 with the housing / mortage issue. The fact that this was on my web site for several years can be verified by going to the internet archive. It shows past years. Just type in my domain name www.bibleprophecyrevealed.us and look on the left column of the page. The link says "Woe to the Money Loving Christians, economic Disaster is Coming."

Well now I have another UPDATE April 28, 2009: This current economic situation will continue until sometime in 2010 or after when we will have a full blown DEPRESSION. Count on it, get ready for it. What is coming is a correction for the world, but also for the Christianity because it is not preaching the true Gospel. It is eat up with the gospel of prosperity and greed.
