“'The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, adorned with riches, holding in her hand a golden cup full of idolatry and the impurities of her lawlessness; and on her forehead was written a name of mystery: 'Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of earth’s abominations.'"
Revelation 17:4-6
"Their tongues are devious weapons, bent like a drawn bow. With falsehoods rather than truth they have gained power in the land. They commit one crime after another. They do not know me."
Jeremiah 9:3
"For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. But the one who now restrains it will continue to do so until he is taken away. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will slay by the breath of his mouth and bring to an end with the splendor of his coming.
The coming lawlessness will be the work of Satan made manifest in all power and false signs and wonders, and in every wicked deception for those who are perishing because they refused to accept the love of the truth to be saved.
For this reason, God permits them a powerful delusion to believe their lies, that all may be condemned who deny the truth and instead take pleasure in lawlessness."
2 Thessalonians 2:7-12
"Rebuke them clearly, so that they may be restored in the faith, instead of following traditions and laws of people who have repudiated the truth. Both their minds and their consciences are tainted. They claim to know God, but by their acts they deny him, being vile and disobedient, and worthless for any good cause."
Titus 1:13-16
"All the world marveled at this, and gave their allegiance to the Beast. And they worshiped the serpent, for giving such power to him, as they also worshiped the Beast. 'Who is as great as the Beast?' they exclaimed. 'And who is able to resist him?' And the Beast was allowed to commit great blasphemies against God."
Revelation 13:3-5
And here it is, ladies and gentlemen— our big, beautiful bubble.
How appropriate that we look to worldly corruption for confirmation of 'our greatness'.
Is this the great falling away? Probably not.
But this is a time of war criminals and oath-breakers, when lies become the common currency, not just for greed and hate, but for their own sake.
This is a time when empathy and reason are despised as weakness, and replaced with mutual hate and violence.
This too will pass, but is not going to end well.
Those who are falling away to serve the idols of the world have never listened, even to one who has risen from the dead. Why would they listen now?
Do not fall away with them.
There may or may not be Non-Farm Payrolls number released tomorrow. If they do appear, they will be of dubious authenticity since their manager was recently replaced by a compliant supplicant.
This is the problem at core with US markets. The risk is that they are tainted with deception.
And this is why the world is choosing to anchor the safety of their assets in gold and silver.
Have a pleasant evening.
