"Current World Events and our response"


Goodday John and 5 Dove Readers

Greetings from Australia

Great Forum, I check it out most days in my lunch times.

About 7 weeks ago I attended Australia's largest Christian Conference called
Hillsong.
Since then I have feel like I have been Born Again again. I have been in
prayer and reading the Bible far more than I have done for years.

About 4 weeks ago I prayed that God would reveal truth to me from both the
Word and from world events.

WOW!  WOW! WOW!

You may already know these things, I sort of had an idea but no clarity.

The things I have found both amazed me and completely shocked and rattled me.

Today I opened 5 Doves and read:
1) Jim Bramlett's "Vision from Jerusalem".

2) Arlene's "INFLATION AND HYPERINFLATION"
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/aug2005/arlene818-1.htm
 (Love Arlene's insight and knowledge)

Recent world events - Terrorism, 9/11, Iraq War, Bali Bombing, London
Bombings, Bush's stance to use Nukes offensively, Chinas response to use
Nukes, World Oil Shortage,
US Patriot Laws, Australia's Terrorist Detention Laws, Gaza Pullout, Media
Manipulation etc etc, were put into perspective by the Holy Spirit and shown
to me after I prayed to see truth.

Last night I was very upset and fearful with what was revealed to me.
I went into prayer and a I felt God give me a very similar answer  to the
vision that Jim's message contained.
I can't carry the burden of whats going to happen. I can't plan for every
likely scenario. I can't carry the pain of what I may lose.
I have a family, I want to protect them, I want to feed them, I want to
clothe them, I want them to have a life.
As I was musing over all this, the Holy Spirit told me I was to read the
Word, immerse myself in it, learn it like never before, apply it like never
before, live it like never before, become totally depend on it like never
before.
There no other way through this, its all part of God's plan for a Bride that
is pure and holy.
It won't be easy.

Yes, I have read all the Rapture Theories - I hope that PreTrib Rapture is
correct but live life for PostTrib Rapture. It's a can't lose option.

When I finished praying, I started to read my Bible. I hadn't read
Revelations for a long time so I thought I would read it.

I got stuck at the Rev 6v5 with the "Black Horseman holding the scales and
a
voice saying " A quart of wheat for a days wages, and three quarts of
barley
for a days wages, and do not damage the OIL or wine!"

"Do not damage the Oil Production facilities" was the demand from the
US
before going into Iraq.
China at the moment is increasing its Oil Consumption at 5% a month, not a
year, a month. Right at the point in history when World Oil production is
about to peak.
Here in Australia petrol pricing has increased 50% in the last year and
according to an Aust Government Report - Petrol Production likely to cease
approx 2030 - 25 years away.

Is this just the beginning of Rev 6v5.

I live 40 kms from my place of employment, I depend totally on my car to get
there. As does nearly every person who lives in suburbia.
If petrol prices continue to increase the way that it has been, and world Oil
Production is very very close to peaking - predicted 2007, our lifestyle
cannot be sustained.
Hyperinflation has to occur, leading to a collapse of our economic
interdependence. Can't get to work, can't pay mortgage, can't pay or acquire
food - its a domino effect on the economy.
The suburbs can't survive without Oil. The Middleclass can't survive without
Oil.

Arlene's article on  "INFLATION AND HYPERINFLATION" is very
pertinent.
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/aug2005/arlene818-1.htm

The use of Nukes by the US against Iran would send people in Western
Countries straight away into supermarkets and buy food and panic would
follow.
If the US goes after Iran, China may well go after Taiwan, to test the ground
ala Hitler and Czeckoslavia / Poland.

The world players are positioning themselves for the coming OIL WARS.

All of sudden the Book Of Revelations starts to become clearer.
