I work in the Financial business.
I Manage Portfolios for clients.....over $300 Million.
I have been in this business for over 40 years.

This business is made up of Optimists about the Market.  LOTS of them.

Since the Crash of 2008, I've seen hundreds of Posts here about the Market. Almost ALL of them extremely negative.  And yet, look how well the stock market has done in the last 10 years!

You may have seen posts from me along the way stating how WRONG those posts were.
And......so far, I've been right.

But, I am open to listen to someone who can truly ARTICULATE a good future scenario, whether it be good or bad.  I'm willing to listen and then draw my own conclusions.  

I know we are near the end of a Long Term Bull Market.
I know there will be a recession.
The question is:  WHEN?  and HOW BIG?  And what is the TRIGGER that sets it off?

Will it be like 2008?  Worse?  Or is there a small recession ahead and then a recovery BEFORE something bigger happens?  And......does the Rapture play a huge part as THE Catalyst---the TRIGGER?   

I believe, as do the guys at Rapture Ready.com...….that the Rapture IS THE Catalyst. And that the World economy and the markets will be "normal" until the Rapture....and THEN everything falls apart.  That scenario makes sense to me.

So...…...what I heard on Friday can also make sense to me.
That person did NOT bring the Rapture into his scenario.
But I DO.   (We both referred to "something big" as a Black Swan.  A Black Swan Event is something that happens that is BIG and UN-FORSEEN.  An event that "blows up the markets."   The 2008 Financial Crisis was such a Black Swan type of Event.

And yet, his scenario has some plausibility,  Even WITHOUT a Rapture event.  But I believe it could be a Rapture event that triggers it all.  

In short, he laid out a very articulate case, in detail, for a Market Crash worse than 2008, that could happen AFTER the next US Election. But....that is BUILDING NOW.   It was detailed enough that I can NOT write it down in the detail he laid out.

Suffice it to say, I found it intriguing.  
And IF the Rapture happens SOON then...….I think he could be right.
If the Rapture does NOT happen soon.....I'm not so sure.

But I wanted to post about this.....to go ON the Record about it all.  

I believe the Market Collapse of 2008 was a look at what a FUTURE Market Event could look and feel like...…..a Market Event that could be WORSE.  "The BIG One" so to speak.

Remember...….in the fall of 2008.....the people who ran the Banks and the Stock Market truly thought they were looking at a TOTAL MARKET FAILURE world-wide.  They thought we were ON THE BRINK of World-Wide Economic Collapse.  Watching the news and movies about it all after it happened (especially the 2 hour HBO Movie) was fascinating.  The collapse of Bear Sterns was the TRIGGER back then.....along with the Mortgage bond market Collapse.

Imagine a scenario WORSE than that!!  I can only imagine that IF...….the Rapture happens.
And you know, all of us here at Five Doves, believe the Rapture is VERY, VERY Near!!   As do I.  

This week the elections happen in Israel.
I can NOT imagine Netenyahu NOT being Prime Minister of Israel.  WOW!!  
And yet...….polls indicate that could happen.

And then shortly after, maybe the week after...….the Trump Peace Plan is set to roll out!
FINALLY...….after 3 years of waiting, the Trump Peace Plan!!
And, it has already been panned by the Palestinians as DEAD before it even sees light!!
Could it be HTE PEACE PLAN the Bible refers to??????
And...….Israel and Iran and Lebanon and the Palestinians in Gaza and all ready to start the next Middle East War....they certainly seem to be on the brink....

We shall see.

And then, the week after is ROSH Hashanah.
Rosh Hashanah has ALWAYS been the time of year that many of us believe is the most likely TIME OF YEAR for the Rapture.    

Oh...….could it be the Rapture is THAT near?? 2 weeks??   AT long last??

We shall see......but so many of us posting at Five Doves have been SO WRONG so MANY times before......that I've grown used to seeing even a GOOD Prediction, come and go with no Rapture.  (UGH!!)    Fall of 2015 and 2018 were meaningful speculation dates, that also came and went....(UGH!!)  So I understand we could still be waiting for more time to come!

I do NOT believe there is a huge market crash WITHOUT the Rapture.
Until then, I believe the world economy and Markets will be "normal" ….what ever that is.
But...NO HUGE COLLAPSE.
THAT will come right after the Rapture.....in my opinion.

And I am glad I will NOT be here for all of that.
And I CAN NOT WAIT to see God's plans unfold upon this earth.  (ie, the Rapture, etc.)
I can NOT wait to AT the Marriage Supper of the Lamb of God !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HIS plans FAR EXCEED MY PLANS......and I can not wait!!

I want the world to see my God's Glory and Power in an UNDENIABLE WAY...
And I can....not...wait!!

Could it be so very, very close now?  I hope so.....We shall see...…..
Tic toc.
