HIT by a TON of BRICS?

 

Proverbs 18:11

King James Version

11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, 

and as an high wall in his own conceit.


Nope, it's not a mis-spelling.

There really is a BRICS.

Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

Jim Rickards calls it a "geopolitical shockwave".

What are these giant countries up to?

Is the rest of the world really going to be hit by a ton of BRICS?

Well, the group intends to challenge U.S. dollar superiority.

Rickards' "Strategic Intelligence" pdf tells us more about BRICS.


Think about it.

If the U.S. dollar is failing, a challenger comes up.

Or if it wants it to fail, a challenger has made plans to unseat it.

With the way America's foreign policy is, we wonder if it will be hit by a ton of BRICS.

With over $31 trillion in debt, who's to say it won't happen?

And then again, the U.S. may be acting deaf, dumb, and mute.

They may also be acting insensitive to Israel's plight, and ways.

And taking sides, here, there, and everywhere.

Or are they, really?

Perhaps, there's more than meets the eye?

I won't even begin to figure out man's convoluted mind.

And with too many cooks in the kitchen, you can imagine the chaos.

But GOD knows it, from A to Z.

Genesis 6:5-6

King James Version

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man 

was great in the earth,

and that every imagination 

of the thoughts of his heart 

was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the Lord 

that he had made man on the earth,

and it grieved him at his heart.


In this purposely-designed, complex world of finance, geopolitics, and global power wrangling, one really never knows.

In the meantime, China's watching.

Russia's watching.

Israel's fighting.

Iran has her proxies.

Other countries are playing it safe.

The rest of the world is trying to survive.

Many can't free themselves from their slave masters.

Recession and strife are everywhere.

Borders are laid open.

Most are clueless.

Matthew 24:37-39

King James Version

37 But as the days of Noah were, 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood 

they were eating and drinking, 

marrying and giving in marriage, 

until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


2 Corinthians 4:3-4

King James Version

3 But if our gospel be hid, 

it is hid to them that are lost:

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, should shine unto them.


Should you be worried?

What are our chances of survival?

Who's the real player?

A born again always knows.

JESUS identified the player, BEHIND the players.

The prophets and apostles have also identified him.


As born again, this much I can say:

GOD is allowing all to happen.

It's all been prophesied anyway.

A believer always turns to Scripture.

GOD gives us the leaders we want.

Of course, if GOD really wanted to, He can stop all our nonsense.

Right this moment.

But no, GOD has a master plan for salvation.

Everything in the fullness of time.

Everything in fulfillment of Scripture.

Everything according to His plan.


He already sent His LAST emissary.

The One who has ALL the answers.

The only One who can SAVE us.

That's how much GOD loves us, just so you know.

2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.


And that also signifies how critical the times are.

If GOD sends His best, why are we still ignoring Him?

We have no idea the travails for the foolish, and rebellious.

But GOD will not be denied.

Isaiah 14:24

King James Version

24 The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, 

Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; 

and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:


Everything will come, in the "fullness" of His time.

It was never through man's puny understanding.

And our garbled and corrupted thoughts, and plans.

But ALWAYS through GOD's plan, and timetable.


As workman, and student of SPIRIT, I find the following THREE sets of verses to be the most powerful, and telling prophecies, in these end times we're in.

All in accordance with events, still to occur.

And from the looks of it, from the outright, unrepentant wickedness, and rebellion of the world, it could very well be imminent.

The events, in sequence:

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself 

shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.


Romans 11:25

King James Version

25 For I would not, brethren, 

that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, 

lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; 

that blindness in part is happened to Israel, 

until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.


2 Thessalonians 2:7-8

King James Version

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: 

only he who now letteth will let, 

until he be taken out of the way.

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, 

whom the Lord shall consume 

with the spirit of his mouth, 

and shall destroy with the brightness 

of his coming:


Still, only GOD decides when.

JESUS already told us what.

Only question is, are you ready?

Is your heart prepared, before GOD?

Are you a true born again?


As you can very well see, I'm not focused on the world.

Whether it be trends, schemes, threats, or supposed brilliance.

I'm focused on the LAST emissary.

He is the diplomat, to end all diplomats.

He is the messenger, to end all messengers.

He is the judge, to end all judges.

JESUS, Son of GOD.

Isaiah 9:6-7

King James Version

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace 

there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, 

and upon his kingdom, 

to order it, 

and to establish it 

with judgment and with justice 

from henceforth even for ever. 

The zeal of the Lord of hosts 

will perform this.


The smartest thing to focus on right now?

NOT on being hit by a ton of BRICS.

NOT on having enough gold to tide you over.

NOT on having enough food to get you through tough times.

At any given moment, at a time of GOD's choosing, ALL could be gone, in an instant.

Why even hoard?

Could you say, by then, the one with the most toys wins?

If anything, those "toys" will impede your walk with the LORD.


Will our brains save us?

Only the MIND of CHRIST can.


Believers have FAITH in the LORD.

Further, whatever will hit unbelievers only comes from GOD.

And that's just a small sampling.

The whole Book of Revelation tells us what to expect.

How to survive these crazy times?

In the following is REAL perspective.

Literally, and figuratively.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.


1 John 2:16

King James Version

16 For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, 

but is of the world.
