• more thoughts on the coming distress (especially in USA)

  Regarding the "crash" (collapse of peace and economic prosperity in the USA and beyond) which some people (including myself) see on the horizon...

  underlying cause:
  - millions of individual unsaved Americans, a collective nation turning gradually further from God (we were never God's chosen people, and we were only a "Christian nation" in the sense of being composed of a high percentage of people espousing Christianity or judeo-christian morality (e.g. one might just as well say that we used to be a "Caucasian nation" or some other such originally shared characteristic), and not in the sense of possessing a divine national charter)

  proximal causes:
    ==>> abortion (twenty thousand precious unborn humans murdered per week in America)
  -> recognition of homosexual 'marriages'
  -> abandoning Israel
  cultural factors leading to the decline
  - divorce, homosexuality and the breakdown of the family
  - removing the Bible from the public square (especially schools) and requiring secularistic science teaching
  - affluence --> laziness (engineering school enrollment, etc)
  - feminism (more girls now going to college than boys, divorce epidemic, etc, cf. Mohler articles such as http://www.albertmohler.com/2009/10/23/feminism-unfulfilled-why-are-so-many-women-unhappy/

  http://www.albertmohler.com/2009/10/28/the-divorce-divide-a-national-embarrassment/)
  - media evil: Hollywood movies, tv shows, pornography, etc

  factors in the predicted coming economic collapse of the USA and subsequent one-world government
  Global:
  - sovereign debt (of many nations, e.g. Greece, Spain, Ireland, Britain, and the USA...)
  - oil dependency - for transportation, food growing and transporting, manufacturing, energy, etc
  - nuclear Iran (dilemma: if pre-emptive attack of Iran, risk losing 'world goodwill', if wait/sanctions, risk nuclear war and/or an EMP-bomb attack against Israel, Europe, USA, etc) http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/the-time-to-act-against-iran-is-fast-approaching/?singlepage=true
  USA:
    - national sovereign debt - $14 trillion and growing - now equal to 100% of the 2010 GDP
  - continued expansion of government entitlement programs like welfare, unemployment, disability, medicare, etc
  - social security collapsing due to borrowing - e.g. paying out more than it takes in, starting 2010 http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article/539411/201007061804/Are-Overdue-Reports-Concealing-ObamaCare-Impact-On-Medicare-.aspx
  - the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - approximately $1 billion spent so far
  - the subprime mortgage crisis due to Clinton-era FreddieMac/FannieMae intervention - http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerkimball/2008/09/29/who-caused-the-biggest-financial-crisis-since-the-great-depression/
  - 12 million illegal immigrants taking up millions of dollars in local services
  - high personal credit card debt, $8000 average per household
  - the Obama $700 billion 'stimulus' bill of 2009
  - the national healthcare bill of 2010, taking effect gradually over the next 5 years
  - Bush tax cuts expiring in 2011

  Predictions
    - something will trigger a global economic meltdown
  - runaway money-printing / inflation will occur in USA and the dollar will lose most or all of its value (cf. Argentina, Zimbabwe)
  - some level of national turmoil will occur, especially acutely in the cities with riots when gas and food run out
  - Christians will experience major persecution

  At some point, the world will transition to a one-world Islamic government and everyone who accepts the new world leader will receive an implanted RFID microchip allowing them to buy and sell.  However, the timing of the transition is not known... the USA meltdown might occur many years before the world transition, or within a few weeks or months.   God might grant many more years to the earth before bringing the final end of the age.
