The United States is going to record a shortfall of $400 Billion dollars this year! The debt of the United States has reached $9.5 trillion dollars! As we hear this figure, $9.5 Trillion dollars — do we really have a concept of how gigantic this is? Let me illustrate it this way…a million seconds is approximately 12 days. A billion seconds is roughly 31 years. Now a TRILLION seconds is 31,688 years! The national debt of the U.S. in SECONDS right now is 301,036 YEARS! Do you think the world has a concept of just how huge the debt is? I don’t think so — considering the reserve currency of the world is still the U.S. dollar with over 60% of the world’s reserves based on the dollar. [ Source: Wikipedia ] So how long do you really believe the world can sustain such a debt load — before a complete economic collapse occurs?
Until next time…

God has put 2 words in my heart over the past several months!
BARE DOWN

I have had the same thought over the last few months. We all need to BARE DOWN at this time in world history. We need to focus on the bare essentials and trust God for our provision. One more thought: The world is ripper for harvest now than it ever has been before. The time is short.
