Dear John and Doves,

 

Something to ponder. I don't know if it means anything, but it's been rattling around in my head for awhile so maybe it's worth looking at.

 

17 for in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste!' And every shipmaster and every passenger and sailor, and as many as make their living by the sea, stood at a distance,

Rev 18:17 (NASB)

I've always assumed 'one hour' meant very quickly, but -

If a day = 1000 yrs., an hour would then = approx.41 yrs., 8 mo. (1000/24)

From May/June, 1967 to Jan./Feb. 2009 is 41 yrs., 8 mo.

So, from the re-taking of Jerusalem as a starting point, we have seen the world grow exceedingly rich while at the same time planting the seeds for its own destruction culminating with possibly the final collapse in the next few weeks. Ocean shipping has ground almost to a halt, ships are sitting idle and the Western economic system (Mystery Babylon?), hence the world economic system, is imploding. It may be Obama's inauguration will be the final straw.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus,

Brad
