THREE BANKS COLLAPSE IN PAST COUPLE WEEKS - MONEY WILL FAIL US - WE NEED FAITH NOW MORE THAN ANYTHING AND TO USE OUR MEANS NOW FOR GOD'S KINGDOM!
NEWS UPDATE - 23rd March 2023
Credit Suisse, one of the oldest banks in the world, along with 2 other
banks in America, collapsed this past couple weeks, sending shockwaves around the world:
"Credit Suisse is the latest and most important casualty of a banking crisis of confidence in which two mid-sized US banks have already failed and another has received emergency industry intervention. But as Switzerland's second biggest lender, Credit Suisse was considered one of the top 30 most important banks in the world, which explains the speed of the Swiss authorities' reaction. A rapid rise in global interest rates has hit the value of safe investments that banks store some of their money in. This scared investors and prompted share prices to tumble with the weakest hit hardest." (source)
We have started hearing stories of people who try to withdraw a few thousand from their bank accounts, only to be questioned as to why they want the money and what they want to spend it on, with some banks even refusing to let people have their money. The issue is, banks just don't have the cash to be able to service lots of big withdrawals. This is because we are being moved towards a cashless society which has been in the pipeline for many years now. Revelation 13 tells us there is a time coming when the no buying or selling will come for those of us who are faithful to God's law, and a cashless, digital society will bring about the control needed for the governments to be able to stop us buying and selling.
We did a news report last year regarding this - CENTRAL BANKS PUSHING PROGRAMMABLE DIGITAL CURRENCY TO PREVENT CERTAIN PEOPLE FROM BUYING AND SELLING
The financial system of this world is as unstable as the wind. We cannot put our trust in earthly riches, because they WILL fail, just like the money failed in Egypt in Genesis 47. And we know that a time is coming soon that if we remain faithful to God and His law, we will not be able to buy or sell any longer as Revelation 13 confirms. So there are two things we must focus on now. One is FAITH and the other is to be a good steward of the money God has given us. While money will fail us, true faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will NEVER fail us, so we need to be cultivating a true faith and character that will stand the test coming upon the world soon.
Hebrews 11:1,6 ...'Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen ... But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.'
As the apostle Peter said in 2 Peter 1, we need to be diligent in constantly adding to our faith, so that we are building a character that will stand the storm that is coming. Remember, money will fail, but true faith and character will not.
Remember the parable Jesus told in Luke 16 of the unjust steward? How he was 'wiser' than the 'children of the light'? We must be wise with the unrighteous mammon of this world, using it faithfully for God's kingdom and for those in need, knowing that money will fail us one day soon when the mark of the beast is enforced. What should we be doing with money? Storing it up for the future? No. Spending it on our own pleasures? No. We must be faithfully using it for the Lord's kingdom, spreading the gospel message and helping those in need just like the early church did in Acts 2:45 and Acts 4:32-37.
It is time to cultivate a true faith that will stand the coming trial and we must work for the Lord while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work.
John 9:4 ...'I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.'
John 4:34 ...'Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.'
John 6:27 ...'Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.'
