The Last Days' Economic War on the Saints

Intro:

There is a clear effort of economic warfare being conducted not only on against the whole world, but even more intensely on those who are honest and fair in their dealings and want to honor the law, and even more so on those who love Jesus and try to keep the Father’s law.  

"And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom" (Daniel 7:20-22).

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:7-9).

The Books of Daniel and Revelation make clear that the last days antichrist system will make war on the Saints, and for a time (3.5 years) will overcome the Saints.  This is only temporary, and at the end of this period Jesus will return to take over and cast the antichrist into the lake of fire forever.   But during those 3.5 years, Revelation also says that many of us will be protected of the Father in the “wilderness” while we sit out of the economy altogether, this is because during this period no person will be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast on his right hand or his forehead.  

In my view, this war has already started, and in many ways, the methods of its tactics are typical of that of warfare between nations.  One of the enemy’s main focuses (aside from divide and conquer) is to wage economic war on the Saints of God, and in so doing cause us to be more concerned with survival than with spiritual warfare  and from fulfilling the great commission (both of which Satan wants to stop at all costs).  He wants us sidelined and disabled from using our voices fto persuade others to repent of their sins, receive Jesus and what He did for them, and to join the Father’s kingdom.  

It only stands to reason an opposing enemy would use all the methods at his disposal to reach his goals. 

I don't know about you, but anecdotally speaking I've watched a lot of honest people face severe economic road blocks and challenges as well as constantly running into situations where near sociopaths are trying to get over on them at practically scam/grift levels.  Those who are in business and want to survive are jacking up their prices so much because they can get it (because competition seems very thin these days), but also because the powers that be are centrally controlling inflation through their nationwide corporations and monopolies on home, food and fuel prices.  The war has been waged, and the honest little guy is the chief victim.

Why is this war being allowed by the Father? So that we will “learn righteousness” and also so that we will return to full and complete trust and dependance on the Father.  We as a people have strayed so far from this place and have made our own economic idols that put a wedge between us and Him.  So as it was in the wilderness for Israel it will be for us:  they needed the Father to provide manna for food and to bring water from a rock in the desert just to survive.  The Father provided each and every day, and we are going to need to have such faith as this to survive the 3.5 year period where we can't buy or sell that is to come.  We need to allow this economic warfare to drive us into prayer during these initial days of the tribulation so that we may be made read to preach the true last days gospel.  

As we go deeper into prayer we will clearly see why there have been so many roadblocks, because the Father is “funneling” each one of us certain directions.  The hindrances are being used to redirect us to where He wants us to be and to what He wants us to do.  He wants to lead us step by step, and we need to be accustomed to this type of leading now so that when the time comes when we can't even function in the economy at all that we will ready to be led at a moment by moment basis.   We must learn to put our complete trust in the Father and His Son Jesus Christ.  We must learn this now.

Main Body

I feel, now more than ever, that honest people are made into marks by those who will try to make gain of them in almost any situation that requires exchange of currency for services or time.  This will sound very tinfoil hat-ish to many, but I feel this is part of an overall scheme to weaken those who have the Father’s morals (even if they don’t know the Father as yet) with regard to how they treat others in business dealings.  Those who operate with fairness, honesty and integrity and are not greedy of gain  are seen as marks by satan’s psycho and sociopaths who have no problem whatsoever justifying getting over on these fair ones to survive.  They consider this world one of survival of the fittest, and rather than be fair and generous with others, and hating the ways of the Father, they instead take from others in order to get whatever they can from every “sucker” who comes their way.

This is one way the enemy makes economic warfare against Believers, in order to try to weaken us and make us psychologically afraid (especially those not trusting in the Father for provision will experience this fear of shortage).  Let's go ahead and look to the variations of warfare strategies even earthly governments use in attempt to increase their chances of victory. 

Different types of warfare, Attrition, Divide & Conquer/Bait & Bleed, Blockade/Siege:

Satan attacks through his minions at the level of person's perception of his or her own needs.  Maslow's hierarchy of needs serves as a way to define which needs to attack first.  When one is distracted by fulfilling those needs, he can be caught up in serving those needs instead of being a servant to the Father.  Jesus explained how to rise above this no matter the situation: by having complete faith and trust in the Father as Provider.

This happens on every level of human interaction, but none more so with those who roam the halls of power, who condense and focus that power into making sure that people are slaves to their system, and that they who rule the system, get a cut of the money, effort and time of as many people as possible, so they can spool up that money in one place to serve themselves.  

You can see this for sure in terms of housing.  Right now, the powers that be, at Satan’s direction, are making the owning of one’s own property virtually impossible for anyone even of middle class status.

And since they can’t purchase a home, most are instead paying exhorbitant rents that leave them living paycheck to paycheck, unable to save any money in order to be able to purchase a home.   In addition, any interruption of their income could leave the person and his/her family on the streets within a few months.  

Rents amount to debt slavery.

The housing prices have risen so dramatically that virtually no one can afford a house without a mortgage, which means the person, over the course of the loan, is almost guaranteed to pay more than double what the value of the house is.

So even home ownership, when paying a mortgage, is slavery.

And it’s also slavery to pay taxes on a home you already own, at the risk of losing the home you are supposed to own, if you don’t.  

It leads me to ask, are homeless people, outside of those on drugs who refuse to work, the only free people on earth?  The only ones not paying anyone to walk this earth?  Are they the only free ones?

Is this why Jesus had nowhere to lay His head?

Did Jesus do that because this is Satan’s world and He was just passing through it?

Does everyone who has means and property on this earth have to make a deal with the devil to get it or keep it in this era?  I mean, pretty soon no one will be able to buy or sell without the mark, and if such is the case, how then is it possible to pay taxes on property without that mark.  And, with unpaid taxes, the government can repossess the property and do with it as they will.

The other side of the coin is that Believers are more and more with each passing day finding themselves excluded from the economic marketplace.  All of the corporations are constantly doing anti-biblical promotions of the alphabet pride while also selling things that are counter biblical.  How can we work retail and sell those things we believe are wrong?  How could any one of us work at a restaurant that sells pork or shellfish.  How can we do a job that requires we work or ask others to work on the Sabbath?

It seems everything that’s occurring now is meant to marginalize and cause Believers to be economically stilted so that we go into survival mode, where we can’t fight His demons the way we should be doing, where we’re not praying as much as we should, nor reading our Bibles, and it’s serving to weaken our faith.  

The Father is the Provider, though, and surely His children aren’t beggars, we just have to let these moments of trials and tribulation send us right to the throne room for His direct leadership.   We have to learn to trust that what the Father is providing is enough and to take our eyes of the things of this world, the lust of the eyes, and of the flesh, and the pride of life, and to place our treasures in heaven.

In the mean time, we can recognize that the war on the saints is a many front war, and a huge component of that war is economic.

Everything about this life is matter of Satan using his people to make others their slaves in the sense that the system is set up whereby things cost money and people must have money to spend to buy other things…he wants us all trapped in the vortex of his many tentacled system of economic dependence and also debt slavery.

Housing: Taxes, mortgages, rents

Energy: Power, Gas

Transportation: public mass transit, vehicles, fuel

Insurance: Forced insurance on vehicles and homes (when money is borrowed)

Communications: Cell phones, internet

Food: Centralized distribution and pricing controls

Health: all through big Pharma, trapping you in sorcery.

For most people, time is money.  Their time in effort for someone else or some other entity will receive a payment.  When others constantly try to syphon off of people, and certainly when payment is forced - such as with governments, insurance and utilities where how much you pay is unilaterally decided and the delivery and quality of those products (and even if society’s impulse to use those products is controlled and delivered by them, such as with oil based fuels or the way electrical power is generated, there were other less profitable means of creating these energy sources that they have purposely avoided and basically outlawed in order to keep us in their funnel.  The fact that vehicles get terrible gas mileage compared to what they could is another example).  Everything we spend money on in this life is meant to improverish ourselves to make others rich.  To enslave us.

The only way to be totally free is to find a chunk of earth so remote that no one can tax you or charge you for anything. To live like people lived in antiquity or in the remote jungles of the Amazon.  I suppose, during the time of the antichrist’s reign, that we will be doing just that.  Protected in the wilderness, for the three and one half year period.
