How this Landmark Decision Could Destroy the Market

This week, Ivan Lo talks about a landmark decision that could destroy the market, gives an update on Germany’s gold repatriation, and talks about what the actions of the Swiss means for us all.

Dear Readers,  

In life, there is balance; I try to maintain this balance with both the bright and dark side of whatever it is I am writing.

But as we draw closer to the seven-year cycle of market and economic crashes, I can’t help but find myself in a position of doubt.

For those unaware of the seven-year cycle, just look back at the dates of some of America’s greatest crashes: 1973 (recession, oil shock), 1980 (oil and silver crash, deep recession), 1987 (black Monday), 1994 (bond crash), 2001 (dotcom bubble), and 2008 (financial crisis).

They were all seven years apart.

Since 2008, I have called for the market to climb. Despite all of the experts that told us otherwise, the market has continued to reach new record highs, year after year.

A few weeks ago, I made a call that we may see 2015 end in the green. But perhaps I may have been a little too early in making that call – despite the market holding up.

I can’t pinpoint it, but I have this feeling that sometime in September, something is going to come crashing down – or the beginning of a crash may set it. This is just a hunch – a feeling – so it may not be wise to take it too seriously.

The market could still hold up after September, and still end up in the green this year. But I certainly won’t say that about 2016.

So why my sudden change of views?

No, it’s not just that we’re leading up to the end of another seven-year cycle.

I look back to many instances of history and compare the connection of events from those times to today. While from a technological standpoint, things are drastically different, human nature has changed very little.

We are now witnessing a culmination of events that can only end up in disaster: the war in the Middle East is intensifying; the media is fuelling hatred (i.e. Ferguson); we’re witnessing a major oil shock; the market is frothy; there is mistrust amongst every country (i.e. NSA); and there is a major attack on the dollar – with China and Russia leading the way.

Let’s not forget the tremendous amount of debt that has been accumulated by the world’s top economic powers in the last seven years. Example: China total debt has nearly quadrupled, rising from $7 trillion in 2007, to $28 trillion by mid-2014.

There are even religious and prophetic connections – should you be interested in that sort of thing – that call for a market crash by the will of God.

A Prophetic Take on the Market

Some may think I am crazy for even mentioning prophecies or religion when speaking of the market, but with all of the pundits talking about meaningless manipulated data and fundamentals, it can’t possibly hurt to view things from a different perspective.

I stress that I am only providing you with a different view, so don’t take it personal.

In Defiance of God?

When God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for their sins, Abraham recognized that God is the judge of men’s actions (Genesis: 18:20-25). In this case God passed judgment, issued a verdict, and carried out the sentence.

In other words, God passes judgment should he feel a direct defiance of His ways.

In 1973, the United States Supreme Court made a landmark decision (Roe v. Wade) on the issue of abortion. Some believe abortion is in direct defiance of God’s way; others believe it is not. For those that believed it was, also believed judgement would be passed.

In that same year, the United States began a very deep recession, and experienced one of the greatest bear markets in history.

There are numerous examples of prophetic and religious comparisons to stock market and economic crashes. And because faithful coincidences can exist, we should at the very least be aware.

It is now 2015 and the U.S. is about to make another landmark decision.

Could this Landmark Decision Destroy the Market?

What I am about to say will spark indefinite controversy.

But before I do that, I want to make clear that I am not here to talk morals, values, or beliefs – everyone is free to choose his or her way. I am simply presenting an example for discussion, in relation to religious and prophetic views of the market.

In a few months, at the end of June, the United States Supreme Court will pass judgment on the issue of gay marriage.

Many of the Christian or Catholic faiths believe this is in direct defiance of God’s way; others believe it is not.

I believe everyone has a right to make their own decisions. I also believe that in order to prevent a very dramatic protest of civil rights, the United States Supreme Court will have no choice but to rule in favour of gay marriage.

As this may be considered by some to be in direct defiance of God’s way, could we then witness a crash – or the start of a crash – just as we did in the year of Roe vs. Wade?

If you are religious or believe in religious prophecies, then you should get your money out of stocks immediately.

I am interested to know what you think of this subject.

Not What it Seems: Germany Gold Update 

Countries all around the world are playing defense, with trust amongst central banks diminishing.

Two years ago, I talked about the mass repatriation of gold from countries all around the world, specifically Germany:

“(Germany) will retrieve all 374 tons of the bullion it currently keeps in Paris and 300 tons currently stored at the New York Federal Reserve Bank. The process will take 8 years and bring about 19 percent of Germany’s gold reserves back to the Fatherland. Germany holds 3,400 tons of gold reserves – the most of any country, second only to the United States.

The Bundesbank’s announcement indicates that German leaders believe the global economic crisis may soon intensify. In other words, the currency war I talked about in my past letters is heating up.”

A year later, it seems Germany’s gold repatriation wasn’t going so well:

“In one year, the US has managed to ship back only 5 out of the 300 tonnes Germany wants back. The rest came from Paris. That means only 1.6% of what Germany wants back has been delivered by the US; even more shocking, that’s only 0.147% of all the gold Germany stores in US vaults.”

Clearly, something was wrong. A few months after, Germany was forced to tell the public what happened:

“After all of this talk, it seems that Germany has decided not to repatriate its gold back from the U.S.

As Bloomberg kindly put it:

“Germany has decided its gold is safe in American hands.

Surging mistrust of the euro during Europe’s debt crisis fed a campaign to bring Germany’s entire $141 billion gold reserve home from New York and London. Now, after politics shifted in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition, the government has concluded that stashing half its bullion abroad is prudent after all.

“The Americans are taking good care of our gold,” Norbert Barthle, the budget spokesman for Merkel’s Christian Democratic bloc in parliament, said in an interview. “Objectively, there’s absolutely no reason for mistrust.”

Well it turns out that Norbert Barthle was wrong: The Germans DO have a reason for mistrust.

Why do I say this?

According to the Bundesbank, Germany’s central bank actually has continued to repatriate its gold:

“The Bundesbank successfully continued and further stepped up its transfers of gold last year. In 2014, 120 tonnes of gold were transferred to Frankfurt am Main from storage locations abroad: 35 tonnes from Paris and 85 tonnes from New York.”

If there was no reason for mistrust, as Barthle told us, then why continue with the repatriation? More importantly, what is the reason for this mistrust?

Let’s take a look.

Via Bundesbank:

“The Bundesbank took advantage of the transfer from New York to have roughly 50 tonnes of gold melted down and recast according to the London Good Delivery standard.

… The Bundesbank assures the identity and authenticity of German gold reserves throughout the transfer process – from when they are removed from warehouses abroad until they are stored in Frankfurt am Main.

As soon as the gold was removed from the warehouse locations abroad, Bundesbank employees cross-checked the lists of bars belonging to the Bundesbank against the information on the bars removed.

Finally, once they arrived in Frankfurt am Main, all the transferred gold bars were thoroughly and exhaustively inspected and verified by the Bundesbank.

When all the inspections had been concluded, no irregularities came to light with regard to the authenticity, fineness and weight of the bars.”

Except for one thing…50 of the 85 tonnes repatriated from the U.S. were melted down and recast. So why not melt all of the gold? What about the gold from Paris? Why was that not melted down and recast?

The answer, according to officials, was that some of the gold bars met delivery standards while others did not. Hmm…wait just a second…why would some of it meet today’s London Good Delivery Standard, while others didn’t? These gold bars were all from the same time period.

Germany hasn’t sold a single ounce of gold since the 1970’s, so why would it need to melt and recast its gold to meet the London Delivery Standard?

The answer, I’ll leave for you to decipher.

But pay attention to what I am about to say.

The Swiss Know Something

We have never – ever – witnessed more currency swaps than we have in the past few years. We have never witnessed this much activity amongst nations to bypass the dollar in international trade.

This is something I have strongly urged not to dismiss over the past years.

Just a few weeks ago, the Swiss – one of the top gold refiners in the world – screwed the ECB by removing itself from the euro currency peg, and then immediately followed it up with an announcement to create a Chinese currency trading hub in the heart of Switzerland, Zurich.

The Swiss are brilliant financial moderators, incredible innovators, and have one of the most sophisticated business sectors in the world. It’s no wonder why they’re the world’s most stable economy – for over six years running.

You can bet that their actions are extremely well planned. They were one of the first to escape the 2008 financial crisis, and they have often been known to act in advance of economic market downturns.

Which means that there is a long term vision for not only removing themselves from the euro peg, but also the creation of a Chinese currency trading hub in Zurich.

As I mentioned in my last letter, the Swiss is one of the world’s central gold hubs, and its gold exports (as a result of being one of the biggest gold refiners) account for nearly a third of its foreign trade. That means the Swiss have a big picture view of what’s happening with gold, and they clearly see it moving from the West to the East.

And since the Swiss also have knowledge of financial flows – being one of the world’s major banking hubs – you can bet they have a much clearer crystal ball than most. Which, of course, means their decision to stun Western banks with the euro peg removal was not only a foresight of what’s to come for the euro, but also a direct retaliation against the actions of the Anglo-America banking system.

Despite being a neutral country, the Swiss have always been heavily connected to the Western financial system, and as such, have supported Western nations. But over the past years, their neutrality and privacy banking laws have been attacked by the U.S., specifically FATCA. The Swiss aren’t happy about being forced into changing its banking laws – ones that have stood for over a hundred years.

The Swiss are likely feeling betrayed by the Western system after being attacked by FACTA. But that’s the least of where their anger stems.

Attacking Swiss Savings

The Swiss have always been known as “natural-born savers.”

In 2012, the Swiss put aside 17.5 percent of gross income into savings last year. And despite the savings rate having dropped slightly, the Swiss still have the highest household savings rate in the developed world.

Furthermore, consumer prices in Switzerland have risen at an annual pace well below 1 percent for over four years. The country even experienced deflation between 2012-2013. Despite the “we need inflation” theory instilled by the Fed, Switzerland’s economy has continued to grow at a steady pace.

And it has an unemployment rate of just 3.4 percent, which is a high number by Swiss standards.

So what’s my point?

Switzerland is a great example of a well-run economy. It’s decision to move away from the euro currency peg is a direct shot in defiance of the Fed and the EU’s loose monetary policies – policies that threaten the savings of every Swiss.

They aren’t about to let the loose monetary and fiscal policies of the Western banking system take them down.

If the world’s most efficient economic power is moving away from the euro and toward a Chinese currency partnership, while continuing to expand its gold activities, what does that tell us?

Switzerland is clearly positioning itself for something they expect to happen. And since they have always been ahead of the curve, take serious note of their actions.

An Early Prediction Coming True?

Remember what I wrote in my letter, The Fed’s True Plan:

“Eventually, the Fed will have to begin winding down its assets, which means there will be a lot of bonds to soak up.

Foreign liquidity won’t be able to soak up all that has been printed. That means money will have to come from somewhere else. And that somewhere – I believe – is from the stock market.

If the stock market continues to climb, it will create more liquidity for bonds. Why? Because the stock market will eventually correct at some point, and when it does, investors will seek the safety of bonds; thus, soaking up much of the bonds held by the Fed.

The higher the stock market climbs, the more money is available for bonds on the way down.

This is the Fed’s true plan.”

Is my analysis already playing out?

According to the Bank of America, via Zero Hedge, the second largest weekly inflow of $14bn happened during the week ending February 5 2014, which was followed by last week’s inflow to all fixed income funds of $16.04bn – the highest on record going back to at least 2008.

Stocks, on the other hand, went from $1.62bn inflow in the prior week, to an outflow of $5.52bn last week.

Is this a sign of things to come?

  1. It is so true that God made man and woman in the beginning. Also he instituted marriage and that was only between a man and a woman. Man can flaunt God’s laws and live as they please but there is a terrible price to pay for that. God has decreed that each person will spend eternity in one of two places–heaven with him for those who love and obey him and accept only Jesus Christ as his/her Savoir –or hell which was made for the Devil and his angels but will also be inhabited by all of those who refuse to glorify and obey God. Romans is clear in the first chapter about verse 23 that all homosexuals will inhabit hell. It will be a very sad day when/if “gay marriage” which according to God is not a marriage at all becomes the “law of the land”. God will absolutely punish those who disobey his will.

  2. Even I can sense something is not right in the markets. Your June month may coincide by FED interest rate increase. And whenever oil is down so much recession follows. Euro zone experienced deflation, most other central bankers are cutting interest rates because of dollar getting stronger. And finally ECB QE is the final nail in the coffin — The Dow Jones has already reached its peak life time high and it would only move now lower. And if Denmark also does what Swiss did than Greek will move out of Euro Zone and ECB QE well might not even be implemented :))

  3. I believe in the prophetic as you do. And I think this crash will take place after the snatching away which will go directly into World War 111.

  4. i totally agree with your religious belief.But there is something that is must more grevious,in what you say.It is concening OUR BLESSED MOTHER.PERHAPS YOU ARE AWARE OF IT.I will tell you about it at a later time.god bless.patrick o’sullivan

  5. The suit this snippet comes from should be interesting. For those trying to figure out how we get out of this mess you will need to know how we got into it.

    The only way out:

    [5] The nine declarations sought in the Claim relate to three basic assertions: first, that the Bank Act provides for interest-free loans to the federal and provincial, as well as municipal, governments for the purposes of “human capital expenditures,” and the Defendants have failed to fulfill their legal duties to ensure such loans are made, resulting in lower human capital expenditures by governments to the detriment of all Canadians; second, that the government of Canada [Government] uses flawed accounting methods in describing public finances, thereby understating the benefits of human capital expenditures and undermining Parliament’s constitutional role as the guardian of the public purse; and third, that these and other harms are the result of the fact that Canadian fiscal and monetary policy is being controlled by private foreign interests through Canada’s involvement in international monetary and financial institutions.

  6. I don’t believe in coincidences. I finished reading a book this very morning that echoes what you mention in your letter. I tracks events focusing on a seven year cycle, beginning and ending with the Year of the Sabbath. As America is running away from God and acting in defiance of the Lord, judgment occurs – the crashes of the stock market, the recessions and depressions, the destruction of the World Trade Center. We’re in trouble.

  7. Personally i doubt God could care less about gay marriage, he might mind if the church performs gay marriage though.
    I believe the bond market will blow up end of 2015 ..

  8. This is 21st century,god said this, got said that!! Really what a bunch of BS and still there are idiots on this world that believe in these garbage.!? All major wars and problems in this world originates from religions people who think they are in direct communication with “god”…

  9. Since I am a long-term value investor this is just a thought. The dow jones reached 14000 in 2007 before the crash. By the beginning of 2013 the markets were back at 14000…right where they left off but with only 50% volume (participants). Large funds need decent returns to keep clients and pay pensions. Foreign dollars are pouring into the U.S. because there is nowhere else to go. Coincidentally just a few days ago I came across a quote frome the Bible about a purge of debt after 7 years Deuteronomy 15:1. It could go either way, when the markets go up I buy less of a great businesses, and when the market goes down I buy a whole lot.

  10. While I wouldn’t go so far as to call you crazy as you yourself suggested some reactors might suggest, I am having a hard time distinguishing between brave or foolish. Responding could fall into the same category. Various biblical prophecies indicate that indeed there will be “perilous times” towards the end of mans experiment with ruling himself in defiance of the Creator’s laws. Nowhere is this more apparent than in our weather and our escalating economic problems. For those who do take the Bible seriously, it can not be denied that biblical references to silver and gold as MONEY make sense, all experiments with fiat currency have been failures and I predict will continue to fail, mathematics ensures it. Man cannot create something out of nothing and since he is not satisfied with an honest days wages for an honest days work, mankind will continue to try and figure out ways to “beggar his neighbour” and get a percentage of what others have earned.
    It takes only honest appraisal of a few scriptures to determine that man is “reaping what he sows” as in, the biblical injunction that, “if a man will not work, nether shall he eat” socialism neatly negates that. Or consider the Creators’s statement that, “He will visit the sins of the fathers to the 3rd and 4th generation” verified by the fact man has ignored biblical guidance on diet such as the simple but sound instructions in Gen.1:29, WHY, because man is by nature greedy and PROFIT comes before principle.
    Perhaps the single most important scripture to consider in our modern divided and fractious society is Rev. 12:9. —- Satan HAS DECEIVED the whole world, — meaning that NOBODY can honestly claim to have the “one true religion” and condemn others who do not hold the same beliefs, yet some would consider it their duty to murder infidels for not believing as they do. I guess that just proves how true that Rev, 12:9 really is. Before professing Christians start patting themselves on the back for their “more enlightened viewpoint” it should be pointed out that mainstream Christianity’s doctrines stem at least 50% from “tradition” and ancient paganism, “myths and superstitions” that are not supported by diligent/careful comparison of scriptures. YES, we are all deceived to at least some degree because we will not let the Creator’s words guide us to sound principles of living.

  11. It so sad to ear does things, but maybe one needs to have suffered from being gay to really understand ? Why are somme people creating pain around them and think they are right doing so, using god to justify themlselves ? How sad 🙁 …maybe it’s them that god want to punish ?

  12. Ivan – Thanks for the many insights over the years. God is not only involved in administering justice on the earth, but is also a scrutineer of every thought of every person on the earth. Judgment may take a while to come around only because of His mercy toward us. Yes, there are many, many folk around the earth that God reveals His plans to, gives warning, gives ideas, and rebukes. That which is around the corner has already been shared by Him with those to whom He has chosen to show. The future is not written is stone, but is somewhat fluid according to the decisions and actions of people and nations. Sometimes sooner, sometimes later, but God will give to everyone and every nation according to what they have sown. Some of the judgments are already sealed, with no chance of change, others are still being weighed. God has already shown what will become of the US. God has already shown what will happen between Russia and the US. God has already shown where gold will go. God has already shown what will happen with relations between the US and Switzerland. God has already shown what will happen between China and the US, etc, etc, etc. It is time to seek His face diligently and see what He has to say about the decisions one has to make.

  13. OK THE SWISS ARE MAKING A PATH FOR THE WORLD’S MOST POPULOUS NATION-THIS IS GOOD AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.CHINA WILL FOUNDER WITHOUT HELP FROM THE WEST AND INCLUDING MOTHER RUSSIA.OUR DOLLARS MAY TAKE A HIT BUT THERE IS STILL A SOLID,SOLID ECONOMY BEHIND IT,FULL OF INOVATION AND THE PEOPLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.WHY WORRY ABOUT CHINA WHEN THE WEST HAS INDIA, A NATION THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DO EVERYTHING BETTER THAN CHINA? CHINA IS IN NO POSITION TO CALL THE SHOTS ABOUT ANYTHING-AND REALLY NO NATION SHOULD BE,THESE G8’S ETC WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO INVITE EVERYONE TO SIT DOWN AT THE TABLE.EVERYONE.I THINK TECHNOLOGY WILL FORCE ECONOMIES OF THE WORLD TO MESH UNTIL THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF WAR.DONT BRING RELIGON INTO THIS CONVERSATION,AND I SPEAK AS A CHRISTIAN,UNLESS YOU ARE TRYING TO SELL A POPULAR BOOK FOR RELIGIOUS ENTERTAINMENT.THE LEADERS OF THE WORLD NEED ONLY TO AVOID WAR OVER DEBTS,THERE IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH TO LOSE BY BEING SHORTSIGHTED.THERE IS STILL AFRICA AND ALL OF OUTTER SPACE-MORE JOBS THAN PEOPLE.RUSSIA AND JAPAN CAN HELP CHINA OUT OF ITS UPCOMING CRASH.THE EU CAN SELL INTO RUSSIA AND CHINA AND INDIA…ETC.

    1. Strange that you claim that you are a Christian but yet deny the prophecies in the Bible. There will be a ONE world government with a mark that would be required to buy & sell. It is silly to think that one a global economic crash, countries are going to bail out each other – the reverse will happen as we already see the currency de-valuers playing out. BTW, I think you were some what rude to imply that was some kind of book sale coming.

      1. I’m sorry if my post wasn’t clear.indeed I was trying to avoid comments which attack the person, which happens every time we mix our faith and science. I have not denied anything especially any Biblical interpretations. This is precisely why we cannot go down this road when talking about economics or any science. And it is certainly no test of faith ,for anyone, as to what or how they understand economics or any science along with their personal faith, Christian or otherwise. Also I feel different than you do Jonathan. I see nations more willing to help each other out-indeed it’s to their benefit to do so-since crashes affect everyone. As for Rabbi Cahn’s two best sellers-I have a wait and see opinion ie will they turn out to be religous entertainment(and I have not said there is anything wrong with this) or will they pan out. I think many rabbi would agree with me that the shemitah only applies to the land of Israel.

        1. Applying to the land of Israel is rather an old interpretation. In his books, Cahn speaks of the new Israel – the United States. Shemitah applies to the world.

  14. Rabbi Jonathan Cahn wrote two books within the last 2-3 years : “The Harbinger” and “The Mystery of the Shemitah” (both on the New York Times best seller list). Both of these books predict a coming judgement in the financial realm around September 2015. These books are a real eye-opener and present insight into past financial collapses and the likely-hood of another based on Bible prophesies made many centuries ago. We can’t blame God for the mess that we are in – we did it all by ourselves.

  15. Thank you for the courage to speak up and share your thoughts on the June Supreme Court deliberations on gay marriage. Without quoting from many versus it is clear from Genesis that God created woman if not from one of his ribs never the less created a woman to be a companion to Adam. Gay marriage also goes against the natural law of God who created every living and non living thing for a specific purpose else there would be no order to the universe. I will end by saying that I pray daily for peace and justice in the world, for the end to abortion that kills about 4300 babies daily and 55,000,000 since Roe v. Wade. I pray also for the end to the world central banking system which has stolen the world’s capital. My study of economic history leads me to believe that a growing economy requires 3 important things; a sound currency, a minor amount of government regulations, and a growing population. The abortionists have killed this last requirement. Lastly I pray that World War III is not started to cover up the financial crimes that legally started in 1913. We must bring God into the conversation! The U.S. is almost a Godless society. We must bring God and religion back into the political discussion regardless of the government’s attempt to curtail our religious freedom and liberty guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

  16. Ivan:
    As far as getting out of the stock market, I’ve been out for a long time, as I do not trust the entire fiat currency / banking system, and the Plunge Protection Team which keeps injecting it with steroids to keep it afloat. Would I play cards with the Mafia?

    As far as God’s view of homosexuals, there can be no question for those who accept the Bible as God’s word. Leviticus 18:22 says: “You must not lie down with a male in the same way that you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable act”). These are not my words. They are in every Bible. The United States of America was founded by men who accepted the Bible as God’s word. The Congress during Ronald Regan’s presidency Resolved that they viewed the Bible as God’s Word. Whether people in the USA have that view today is irrelevant, as all governments on the earth, including the USA, are corrupt and will be replaced by a govt of God’s choosing (Dan 2:44).

    However, I am not homophobic. God’s view of sexual relations between heterosexual adults outside of marriage is just as unacceptable: so really all sexual immorality is unacceptable to Him. (1 Cor 6:9-11).

    So the question remains: Does God punish a nation of people indiscriminately for the sins of some? Here’s an interesting response I found:
    “In view of all of this, we need to ask: Has God really been using natural disasters to punish people? Is the recent barrage of disastrous events punishment from God?
    In their rush to blame God, some point to Bible accounts where God brought destruction by natural elements. (Genesis 7:17-22; 18:20; 19:24, 25; Numbers 16:31-35) An examination of these Bible accounts shows, however, that in each case, there are three major distinguishing factors. First, there was warning beforehand. Second, unlike today’s natural disasters, which kill good and bad people alike, destruction from God was selective. Only the incorrigibly wicked or those who refused to listen to warnings were destroyed. Third, God made a way for innocent people to escape.—Genesis 7:1, 23; 19:15-17; Numbers 16:23-27.

  17. I believe there is a divine link with any actions we take in our lives. We may see god’s action sooner or later, here or in the hereafter.
    But the biblical, torah and quranic references have lots of examples
    You are not off or crazy when you mention the link. I am glad you are bold to atleast mention it.

    Mike.

  18. Thank you Mr. Lo. You are absolutely right. I suspect that a significant number of investors agree with you on the subject, however, they are most likely embarrassed to admit this as the reason for their selling-out. You are the only professional in the field that have the guts to proclaim the above. May the Lord God continue to bless you and your business abundantly for many years to come. May He continue to fill you with His wisdom and gifts. I will continue as a subscriber to your fine Letter if we all survive what may be coming our way. Thank you aging for your fine work Mr. Lo. Sincerely, Roberto.

  19. All things have their time. All things have their answers. All things have their right to be. Accepting this reality, all things come into harmony.
    This has nothing to do with religion and remember you people expressing your opinions, they are mere human conditioned opinions.

    Cycles have existed on this earth since the dawn of time. We know nothing. Repeat, we know nothing, our pathetic little minds would like think we do, but the truth is as Einstein quoted” there is perhaps one thing more abundant in the Universe than Hydrogen atoms and that is human stupidity.” I think he was on to something.

  20. a o a if we are bleave in God or not we can reach right or wrong the study of history and study ofnations which past i bleave in only one God and creiater(make) if we studied man and universe we can reach right path

  21. Absolutely. Judgement must come to a country that rejected its Judeo-Christian heritage. For example, 2005 when the US forced Israel to give up Gaza, Katrina appeared. So as Jonathan Chan foresees Sept 13 2015 is the dreadful day. Great to read your psot

  22. Thank you for your comments regarding divine judgment on evil.
    I am a keen student of the Bible, and a committed Christian, BUT I do not think we can link God’s judgment on wickedness so directly in our times.

    In the time of the “law and the prophets” (in the Old Testament) there was a very direct link between the two. But this era is one of grace – God waiting for persons to repent. Judgment is being held back. It will come, and the more so where grace has been despised – see Hebrews 10:26-31.

    Take Germany’s treatment of the Jewish race – Germany has greatly prospered materially since then. Japan has prospered materially since the atrocities in the Sino-Japanese war and later in WW II.

  23. I think the bible has many true warnings and should be paid attention to. I thank you for bringing this subject to light.

  24. The first requirement of living in and maintaining a free society is that you have the courage to tolerate the freedom of the ones you do not like.

  25. Anyone who has the time, spiritual and biblical interest should read the two mentioned books written by Johnathan Cahn or do a search for him on YouTube. Harbingers or warnings were ignored before and yes there is a seven year cycle like it or not. The mind of most westerners is greek thought based on logic and taught in western school whereas the hebrew mind is cyclical based on historical jewish books and the Holy Bible. We should all know by now that history does repeat itself and kudos to Ivan at Equedia for blowing the trumpet for those that have ears to hear. 2015 is going to be a shemitah shake down bigger than all the previous six (derivative collapse)?

  26. How could God punish the people he loves if gay marriage is approved beats me since Jesus was guy souranded by 12 gay apostles?

  27. Man can be punished in the afterlife but nations are punished in the material world because obviously nations do not have an afterlife. I salute you for having the integrity to take on the PC gaystapo. As a traditional Jew I am on your wavelength all the way

  28. Right on!—–Daniel 4:34–37 God does intervene in the
    affairs of mankind–“And those who walk in pride HE is able

  29. Actions have consequences. The line in the article said “If you are religious or believe in religious prophecies, then you should get your money out of stocks immediately.” Already in the works is all I have to say on that one. In Alabama, there is a ruckus about the recent gay marriage ban being lifted. What floors me is that all the self avowed non religious types sure seem to want to have the covering of a purely religious concept: Marriage. Now, I see the reasons for this as it’s easier to insert yourself in someone else’s business than try and make a civil union equivalent under the law, as far as insurance, medical care, legal stuff, etc… It has the added bonus of allowing the PC and Gay mafia to twist the knife in the sides of those who believe in the covenant of marriage as God intended, and was quite clearly written in the Bible. the koran

  30. Sorry, the last part of my post was a little test left incomplete. I notice that the spell check doesn’t underline the word Bible, if it is spelled out as bible. The koran however, does want a correction if not capitalized. interesting. God and allah seem to have that same interesting take on spellcheck.

  31. I support your right to believe whatever you wish and to share that with others.
    However my beliefs lead me to say that I do not believe this hokum, this biblical and prophetic interpretation of history and the future. I can’t take this seriously so please delete me from your correspondence.
    Thank you.

  32. Man thinks he can control the world but it has been proven over 2000 years that has never happened for any length of time. So I have to believe in a supper power GOD having final control!!

  33. I’m fascinated by the question. Beliefs definitely affect sentiments in all walks of life. The market sentiment is no exception. However the math does not work. Why has a Christian deity existed for only 2000+ yrs,countless other beliefs for somewhat longer, while man has been on earth for eons. Could it be that religion has as it’s foundation, the explanation of man’s existence without scientific basis? For some, belief is an absolute necessity. Investors believe to but their deity and sentiments are different=profits.

  34. The noted author and traveller Rebecca West {and mistress of HG Wells) once observed that a man and a man could not form a union, nor could a woman with a woman. The reason is that Unions are complementary, not supplementary. Supplementary relationships cannot, by their very nature, be termed Unions, or marriages.
    Marriages were in any case insisted on so as to try to ensure the male half did not do a bunk and leave the community with the cost of supporting his child. It had little to do with love.

  35. If I get it, god will also destroy all you people that hate gay people… Wow ! The more I am gay, the more you are going to suffer ! what a strange logic.
    If I was as mean as you seem to be, I would only have to whish your right ! what a strange and painful interpretation of god you have…
