Blessed is the nation whose god is Jehovah… is how Psalm 33:12 literally reads.

Principles and natural laws…things by definition that depict a way something works, a basic assumption, a standard, a sort of if you do this, then this will happen. If there be a blessing, reason and natural law expect the opposite to be a curse.

So I suppose prophecy on things of natural law and principles of specific matters is mundane, even redundant – certainly not extraordinary, perhaps not even prophetic.
Then explaining that America’s national debt has increased 3.1 trillion dollars while its unfunded liabilities have increased an enormous 127 trillion dollars since 2008 can lead to natural deductions from common sense principles. I don’t need to say I’m “prophesying” economic duress in the United States of America to anyone who can balance a budget and do basic math. Natural law, common sense and reason will tell us that.

The “growth to debt ratio” is almost negative. Context? 1950s-60s the USA had $2.41 growth for every $1 of debt. Today? $.03 [that’s 3 cents growth per dollar debt]
Context? The Misery Index [the figure you get when you add the unemployment rate with the inflation rate] is 32.9% today. During the Great Depression it was 27%.

The diabolical Federal Reserve is insolvent. While it carries $56.2B in reserves, it has a whopping $4.3 in unstable liabilities. Pre-2008 the Federal Reserve leverage was 22-1 [liability to reserve]. Today it is 77-1. [The only insolvent world banking institution is the International Monetary Fund with a leverage of 3-1.]

While there are books upon books, websites upon websites, speakers upon speakers who have been proclaiming America’s economy is at critical mass and IS going to implode, collapse, what-will-you, the federal government denies this is the case. And these are experts in their field of economy who are predicting impending catastrophic collapse the likes of another Great Depression and worse!

They all say it’s not a matter of if, but when. If a large, large and growing number of experts are predicting or forecasting economic catastrophe ahead, why are we precariously balanced at the edge without falling over? Simply: it’s being propped up.

Economy and finances are not my forte. So I can only understand in simplest layman’s terms. From nominal study of credit default swaps, REPOS, T-Bill rates, and other explanations of manipulations of the market in its varying forms, our economy is set to collapse.

Bailouts and stimulus are aspirins for a migraine. The Fed bailout of 2008 was a band aid. There are plenty of resources to teach on this matter, and this is not the purpose of this post. The purpose of this post is to muse about economic forecasts or prophecies for America, and my question is, do we really need a prophecy when the principles or natural laws of economy are already in front of us?

Sure I’ve had some dreams, e.g. Saltines on sale at the grocery store for $12, a block long line to buy a package of hotdogs for $17, a sale item at $5 marked up to $150… Pharaoh had some dreams too, something about skinny and fat cows, and some stalks of wheat… Dreams can be prophetic. Doesn’t mean they are, but they can be.

But what do you do when you have dreams that are saying what the principles of economy already say?

I’m just wondering, this is after all, a prophetic musing post…

What does it mean when principles, natural laws, some prophetic maybes are saying the same thing? What does it mean when opposites can be inferred by common laws? Say, the opposite of up is down; the opposite of in is out; the opposite of blessing is curse.

And if the nation is blessed [think first half of Deuteronomy 28] whose god is Jehovah, is the opposite true? Is the nation cursed [think last half of Deuteronomy 28] whose god is not Jehovah?

If America’s books are not balanced and if America’s principles of spending money indicate economic collapse, and if there are experts that can explain this is so, and if there may even be a hint of prophetic warning to the same, and if America’s god is NOT Jehovah and so does not sit under the blessing, do we have enough data to draw conclusions?
