 World Geopolitics by the Bible: Whither America? Part 2

By Wilfred Hahn

Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd

Jan. 31^st 2023

In the previous Part I of this series, we made a claim stating that there will be only seven major world Gentile rulerships before the endtime Tribulation begins. These are all depicted as heads in the visions shown in Revelation 12, 13, and 17. This is the geopolitical chronology set by the Bible with respect to the timeline of the Hebrews … historically and prophetically.

 

Where are we on that timeline today?

 

Our generation is currently living at the tail end of the 6th “head’s” rule … and the 7th is about to be unveiled in the near future. There is yet one more world ruler that follows the 7th head (but not shown as a head). This one is very evil and will be discussed briefly at a later time.

 

Knowing the times, just what are the implications? A period of rapid tumult yet lies ahead. And there will be some major impacts upon America, as we will reveal at the end of this series.

 

The “heads” that have had their time of rulership to date in our view are Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome (pending). The reader may have noted that these only add to a total of six. Have we miscalculated? No, because there are yet two following forms of Roman rule to unfold. The first of these is denoted by the 7th head with the 10 horns. (See the prophecies and visions regarding these heads found in Revelation 12, 13, 17 and the book of Daniel 2, 7.)

 

As we proceed with our examination of the topic of the 7 heads and 10 horns of Bible prophecy, let’s adopt a few naming conventions. There are a confusing array of kings and heads and beasts mentioned in Daniel and Revelation, to which we will refer in this study.

 

For the sake of expediency, let’s then agree to name the 7 historical kings that are shown as 7 heads (Revelation 12, 13, 17) as the Ruler Kings (RK), and the last-day 10 kings (shown as horns) as the 10K.

 

Correcting Wrongheadedness

 

Before launching into our study of the 7 heads, may we clear a few misconceptions at the outset. A most misleading and frequent error is to assume that the period of rulership for each of these 7 unfolds contemporaneously rather than sequentially. This is wrong. The seven hegemons follow each other. Once one is vanquished, the next comes on the scene. Those who are superseded are then allowed to remain on earth as lesser nations. For example, Persia once ruled the known world at one time. Today, called Iran, it is a relatively weak power player geopolitically.

 

Much prophecy interpretation has gone wrong (faltered) exactly on this very point. Many have tended to see these 7 heads as existing at the same time. The consequences have been disastrous for the credibility of Bible prophecy. Countless candidates have been cited down through the centuries … all of them incorrect.

 

Maintaining a correct heading, we must mention that some prophecy teachers identify the 7th head (ruler) as the Revived Roman Empire. We do not hold this view. Rather, we are more accommodative to the perspective that a revived Roman influence upon the world takes place during the latter period of the sixth head’s reign.

 

This is the “head” that is shown as being wounded by a sword “as unto death,” and which then recuperates (this being mentioned three times—Revelation 13:3, 12, 14). In our interpretation, this near-death wound has already long been healed. The Roman systems continue to strongly dominate much of the world today.

 

Before we move on with our topic of World Geopolitics by the Bible, we make one last comment about the Roman ruler that will be revealed very near the onset of the Tribulation Period. Revelation 17:11 says that “[…] even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.”

 

He is the Antichrist. He is depicted in many forms in the Bible—for example, as a small horn (Daniel 7:8; an imposing horn [v. 20] and other identities).

 

When he finally does come on the world scene, the beast with 7 heads and 10 horns, shown in Revelation 17, will no longer be in power. It will have become superseded by the Antichrist. As such, “the great prostitute, who sits by many waters” and comfortably rode the beast, has been “burned” (Revelation 17:16) and bucked off.

 

This is a study for another occasion. Our focus at this point in the series remains the 7 heads on the beast in Revelation 12, 13 and 17, and the counterpart Scriptures in the Old Testament.

 

Why Study the Seven Heads?

 

The heads in Bible prophecy are a symbol of rulership … especially so if depicted as having golden crowns on their heads. For example, Revelation 12:3 shows the beast (red dragon) as having its seven heads crowned. This is the beast that represents the geopolitical, Satan-driven persecution of the Hebrews down continuously through Bible history.

 

Earlier, we claimed to know the identities of all the ruler heads (rulers). We had not yet presented the supporting Biblical proofs for our opinions. We will do so now.

 

Just what qualifying criteria should one use to identify a “major world rulership” in the geopolitical timeline that the Bible presents? Just where do we find proofs for the identity of these seven major kingdoms in the Bible?

 

Of course, all these answers are found in Scripture. As was mentioned at the start of this series, we are studying a narrow timeline partial to the Jews—what is presented in the Bible—not the total width and breadth of secular history.

 

Of course, the Bible can corroborate some historical aspects of the world, but we must remember that the narrative of the Bible is focused on chronicling the salvation plan of God. That is why the Bible tracks the history of the Hebrews (the servant Israel) and buttresses this with prophecy (past, present and future).

 

As such, we can prove the identities of the 7 historical oppressors of the Hebrews from the Bible. A shallow or incomplete study of the Scriptures on these matters will lead to possible inconclusiveness. As an example, we recall a vitriolic reply directly to this question, received some years ago from a reader. He insisted that because many of these kingdoms (heads) were not specifically named in the respective apocalyptic literature of the Bible, that their identity, therefore, was not valid.

 

In specific, he claimed that the Roman Empire was not expressly named … nor the fourth kingdom mentioned in Daniel. Actually, all the specific names of the 7 RK shown in Revelation 12, 13 and 17 are not mentioned by name. The heads are numbered but not named.

 

But that does not mean we cannot deduce their identity.

 

When combining the various facts, references, and actions of these kingdoms throughout the entire Bible, the conclusions become compelling. In fact, we would even say that the interpolated conclusions are ineluctable.

 

After all, the Bible is a “miraculous” book. One is awed by its interconnectedness, considering it is comprised of 66 separate books, written by some 40 separate authors, who may not have even known of each other. Yet, it all intertwines neatly. This is the wondrous reality of the Bible (Old and New Testament).

 

It must also be said that the Bible does not give up all its deeper, hidden pearls capriciously, choosing instead to reward those that diligently seek and study its pages. This is to say that much Bible study is required. For example, the Book of Revelation was never meant to open up effortlessly, nor for that matter, Daniel and other substantial amounts of prophecy in the Bible.

 

In fact, we are told by Daniel that when the Jews finally come into the “knowledge” of Jehovah’s plan and their Messiah, it would require a lot of “running to and fro” (Daniel 12:4, KJV) and searching the Scriptures anxiously.

 

Some things mentioned in the Bible are deductive. Though things may not be specifically identified by name, this does not mean that they do not exist. Just because a capitalized title is not used does not mean that a head cannot be identified.

 

For example, the Trinity is never mentioned as a term. Do we therefore not accept that there is a Father, Son and Holy Ghost?

 

Or, many claim that the word “rapture” is not mentioned in Scripture. Does that then invalidate this doctrine? Not at all. Other Bible prophecy also falls into this same category.

 

Consider also that there are more than a hundred prophecies about the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

 

Not one mentions His civil name in advance, other than Him being called Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14) and other symbolic names. Yet, He did come in the literal sense and fulfilled many of these prophecies (others yet to be fulfilled in the future).

 

In the next part, we will reveal the identities of five of the seven Ruler Kings. The reign of these strike right into our times.

 

The Bible’s narrative of world geopolitics in the next part of this series. Maranatha

Modern World History Told by the Bible – Part I

By Wilfred Hahn

Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd

Jan. 30^th 2023

Readers will no doubt feel harangued, and perhaps confused, by the heated conditions of global politics of late. Yes, of course, geopolitics has always existed, to a greater or lesser extent. However, it would be correct to say that internationalism has exploded over the past century and a half.

 

To be sure, globalism has been a “growth industry.” What we mean by that is, the focus and activities involving geopolitics and international affairs have expanded enormously. Today, there exist NGOs (non-governmental organizations) beyond count that specialize in international affairs of some type or another. Of course, such pro-globalist organizations as the United Nations and others have deep roots …some having been on the front lines of global affairs for a century and more.

 

Today, there are many university faculties specializing in international affairs and offering “international studies” degrees. Also reflective of these pro-global trends is the burgeoning number of publications (journals and books, etc.) on this and related topics. Mankind has arrived with a self-assured sense of humanity.

 

“All the world’s a stage,” to borrow a phrase from Shakespeare’s As You Like It. All the nations are known to each other, meeting in various forums, discussing global policies. Global policy forums have surely arrived, just as the Bible prophesied.

 

When Balaam prophesied over Israel (when they were still traveling through the desert), he said: “From the rocky peaks I see them [Israel], from the heights I view them. I see a people who live apart and do not consider themselves one of the nations” (Numbers 23:9). The prophet foreknew that a consortium of nations (the entire world) will be apart from and opposed to Israel.

 

 

 

Global Geopolitics Foreknown

 

Did you know that the Bible lays down a chronology of global geopolitics that extends right to the modern history of our day? What is most remarkable is that this human history is laid out in advance (displaying a foreknowing of mankind’s choices and independence). This will not be obvious to the casual Bible reader. Rather, it is one of those topics where study yields great treasures and gems.

 

We have always found Bible-based geopolitics a fascinating topic. Also, it always generates the most feedback. Anticipating these many questions, we therefore plan a four-part series.

 

No doubt of interest to readers is that this timeline holds implications for America, even though this country is not identified directly by name in the Bible. We will return to this fascinating question at the conclusion of this study of Biblical geopolitics. If we correctly interpret the Scriptures and its visions on these matters, some conclusions will be revealed about America’s future.

 

To carry out our study, however, we must do so only on the Bible’s terms. We will only be emphasizing the main Biblical timelines. Of course, it would not be harmful to corroborate the secular history books against what the Bible says. But not the other way around. As such, we will not draw upon the many secular history works … not even such illustrious tomes such as Will and Ariel Durant’s 11-volume The Story of Civilization. It will stay on the bookshelf, as it does not recognize the main Hebrew-centric timeline of world geopolitics, spanning some three-and-a-half millennia.

 

 

 

The Starting Point of God’s Story About Mankind

 

We must first ask: just why is there such a thing as history to begin with? If history does exist, then there must also exist a narrative. Therefore, before we venture too deep into our study, it is best to first establish a foundational narrative. Where does it all start?

 

Naturally, it started with Adam!

 

There have been a number of dispensations that God allowed through time. We will only briefly mention some of these stages (as there is also much debate on these points).

 

Adam was born sinless and originally had a direct relationship with God. Then the “Great Fall” occurred. Adam and Eve were evicted from Eden. Eventually, in short order (approximately 1600 years after Adam was created), humanity became so wicked that God allowed a flood in order to “reset” His relationship with mankind.

 

After the great, Flood-induced “reset,” it becomes more interesting. Human lifespans began to shorten significantly for those born after the Flood. Up to the time of the Flood, the average lifespan was 930 years, according to the Bible. Then, thereafter, a “longevity” collapse ensued. This had a major consequence in the post-Flood era. All the patriarchs that would have known Noah and heard verbal history from him directly, or from others who knew him, died off over a very short period of about 200 years in length. Eleven generations died within this two-century time period.

 

Consider the impact upon Abraham. Over his lifespan, eight generations of his ancestors died. Imagine that over your lifespan, eight generations—great, great, great grandfathers and uncles, etc. passed away. Abraham himself only lived to an age of 175 years, that being 20% of the pre-Flood longevity average.

 

There were disastrous repercussions, as the godly influence of earlier generations was left behind. Mankind quickly fell back to godlessness and sin. Only little more than a century after Noah died, at the age of 950 years (which occurred 350 years after the Great Flood), Nimrod was already busy pursuing humanist endeavors: building the Tower of Babel and promoting urbanization.

 

God needed to disperse the citizens of Babel, who were intent to make a “name for [themselves]” (Genesis 11:4). As such, the plans of Nimrod were thwarted for a time. God mixed up their languages.

 

As mentioned, with Noah gone as well as those who might have directly known him, there soon again was a great falling away to humanism and godlessness. Less than 500 or so years after the Great Flood, mankind was quickly returning to wickedness. What to do? God had promised never to flood the world again (a sign of this promise being the rainbow). So, what could be done?

 

Jehovah decided to call out a people for Himself, one that would be a light to the world and help keep the name of the Lord glorified upon earth. He called out of the world His servant Israel (Isaiah 44). He first selected Abram, a man of faith, thereby calling out a people named the Hebrews to be a light unto the world. They were to be separate.

 

Salvation comes from the Jews (John 4:22), and Christ’s final kingdom on earth will be the completion of King David’s throne, the royal line and Scepter of Judah. This final kingdom will rule the whole earth—not just Israel, but the entire world from Chile to China. The kingdom of God will be on earth for one thousand years. The last kingdom is an eternal one.

 

As it turned out, this people would indeed be a light at times, but also a lightening rod for Satan, who immediately began to persecute and pursue these “servants” of God. As soon as the Lord began to mobilize Abram—to move him from Ur into a new land—the main geopolitical battles began. These were inspired by demons, according to the Bible.

 

Satan knew that some kind of plan was underfoot, with the emergence and formation of His people (Exodus 6:7) … the Jews. He and his demonic angels (also often called “princes”) began to influence the Gentile kingdoms and rulers, to persecute and attempt to annihilate the Hebrews. Indeed, the Bible records the names of a number of the princes that were associated with these Gentile kingdoms … i.e., the Prince of Persia (Daniel 10:13), and also the Prince of Greece (Daniel 10:20b).

 

We will return to this narrative, about the human history of the Hebrews and their persecution. It comprises the history of Gentile nations interacting with the Jews and Israel. And therefore, this is the history that God preserved and left for us to consider and study. Why? Because it is an intrinsic part of God’s plan to bring salvation to mankind. Therefore, the most important geopolitical history is the one detailed in the Bible. In the next parts of this series, we will identify 18 kings/rulers (7 of them by name) that have a lineage that extends right to our day, as well as the future.

 

Little do the world’s leaders know that the time is short, though surely Satan knows this (Revelation 12:12b). With respect to foundational geopolitical history, there are only two more world rulers to emerge before the Lord sets up His eternal kingdom. The very last chapters of the Gentile age are being set up right before our eyes.

 

 

 

Why the Middle East?

 

We return to our narrative that we started with Adam. We now know why Bible history circumnavigates the Jews. Salvation comes from the Jews, as do the Scriptures.

 

But why do history and civilization find their roots in the Middle East? Why not North America, which is an incredibly blessed region?

 

Today, the earth’s populations are spread around the world, most of them living outside the Middle East. None of the prosperous nations of the world (with the exception of Israel and a few oil-rich nations) are found in the Middle East.

 

Then, just why should world history have started in the Middle East?

 

It is one thing to say that world history navigates around the timeline of the Jew, because God has pre-planned it that way. But why does the history of civilized mankind find its roots in this arid region, as we see it today, in the first place? It did not occur by happenstance.

 

Was it accidental? No. Our geopolitical history could not have occurred anywhere else.

 

Consider these fascinating aspects of human history and the significance of the Middle East. As is well known, the history of humanity began in this region. The Garden of Eden is thought to be located there. The ancient societies were in Sumer, Mesopotamia, Shinar, Ur, Chaldea, etc.—all in the Middle East.

 

Of course, God created the world and therefore ordered the conditions that would allow mankind to possess the entire earth, radiating from this region. It is interesting to reflect on the means that God used to predetermine this outcome; namely, of civilization first occurring in the Middle East.

 

Jared Diamond, an anthropologist and Pulitzer prize-winning author, in his book Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, provides some insightful perspectives on the question of how God shaped such a destiny.

 

Mr. Diamond shows how natural geography served to concentrate human development in the Middle East in early times and then spread outward from there. He documents that the availability of the types of plants and animals that could be easily domesticated were clustered in the Middle Eastern region. For example, of all the large mammals living upon earth that were candidates for domestication—either for food or burden—almost half are found in this Eurasian region.1

 

Furthermore, 13 of the 14 domesticated animals in the entire world, weighing at least 100 pounds, were first successfully domesticated in this area. The only large animal productively tamed outside of the Eurasian region was the llama (and the related alpaca) of South America.

 

Why was domestication not possible in other parts of the world? Why could horses from Asia be tamed and not zebras in Africa? Simply, God created it so. It is for these reasons and favorable circumstances that farming and commerce first thrived in the Middle East. Therefore, its founding societies stood to have the most influence upon successive human cultures around the world.

 

It is from this area of the world that God selected Abraham, a man of faith, to become the patriarch of a people that were to bring His light to the world. As of this point forward, human history depicted by the Bible—inspired by the very God of creation and the universe—revolves around the descendants of the Hebrews.

 

 

 

Thoughts to Ponder

 

Only seven major world kingdoms are mentioned in the Bible (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome … both old and revived). All of them intersect with the Hebrews. All of them will find at least part of their kingdoms geographically extending into the Middle East.

 

The Aztec Empire, the Mongols, the Chinese dynasties, the Great British Empire and America: all did not earn any direct or literal mention in the Bible’s geopolitical history—the timeline of the oppression of the Jew. These countries were not selected by Satan to oppress the Jews.

 

The last kingdom prophesied to emerge is the Roman Empire. It has already existed for some time. Two more offshoots are prophesied. They will unfold very quickly. We continue the Bible’s narrative of world geopolitics in the next part of this series. Maranatha

Corroding Wealth in the Last Days

By Wilfred Hahn

Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd

Jan. 29^th 2023

 

 

Tempting, Tantalizing Wealth

 

Wealth Which statement is true: Wealth is booming worldwide today, or wealth is corroding?

 

Gauging by popular indicators, wealth is surging. Stock market indices have been rising, hitting new all-time highs in some countries. And, spectacularly, real estate values have been soaring to previously unimaginable levels around the world, from Sweden to Canada to Australia. Surely, wealth must be booming.

 

Indeed, some people are becoming very rich; the already-wealthy growing incredibly wealthy. The share of wealth of the “one percent” (the wealthiest 1% of people) is definitely rising. But, seen from the vantage point of historical wealth theory as well as Biblical values, we take a completely opposite perspective. We conclude that worldwide wealth is corroding.

 

Moreover, we identify many prophetic parallels. The wealth trends that we are witnessing today fit hand-in-glove with the prophecies of the Bible.

 

People like rising wealth. In fact, they like the “appearance” that wealth is rising. No distinction is made between these two developments. More is better, whether false or real. As such, in our modern financial world, few understand the true essence of wealth. It can mean anything from jewels and natural resources, to over-valued baseball card collections or high-flying financial investments.

 

Centuries ago, wealth was perceived much differently. Then, wealth tended to be considered as the direct ownership of material things (gold, land, flocks, stores of food, slaves … etc.). Wealth represented in the ownership of a flock of sheep (for example) did not have a primary expression in the form of money. Today, wealth is more likely to be defined in financial terms. Yet, whatever the changes in perception and forms of riches down through the ages, actual wealth really hasn’t changed at all.

 

At its core, wealth is nothing more than the totality of the physical creation and the collective productive capacity of mankind’s labor—both present and future. We can define these types of wealth as either created or of human origin. Both forms of wealth are finite at any given point of time. The earth already exists with its minerals, oceans and landmasses. As well, the labor supply is static at any one time. After all, there are only so many people of potential working age on earth at any given moment. And, all of us are bound by the same 24 hours each day.

 

We see that the world’s wealth has a maximal physical or productive potential. It is fixed at any one moment. Yet, the volume of real wealth can change over longer periods of time.

 

The most important and sustainable means of increase is through growth in the earth’s population. The more people there are, the more hours of human labor that are available in the world. The greater the potential amount of labor, the greater the opportunity to create wealth. (Another wealth-creating factor is productivity. For the sake of simplicity, we will not examine its influence.) The main point is that without labor, there can be no prospect of human income; and without savings, there can be no true human-derived wealth. This is an important concept and is foundational to understanding the deceptions behind modern day financial and wealth trends.

 

Three Important Truths about Wealth

 

There are three important truths about human wealth. First, it is inextricably tied to human labor. Ultimately, the value of all wealth rests on the foundation of income—someone’s labors somewhere on earth. Second, wealth can only be accumulated when we consume less than our labor produces. Third, if we exchange our savings for a promise of payment in the future, the underlying support for that liability ultimately depends on the labors of another human sometime in the future. The inviolable fact of God’s creation is this: There can be no human wealth without human labor, whether present, past or future—either accumulated as savings in the past, or an exchange for the promise of savings in the future.

 

With that conclusion, we can emphatically state that human wealth in the world is corroding today. Why? Because the pool of human labor is on the verge of declining. There are number of causes. We will focus on just two.

 

Anti-Familialism

 

Increasingly, people are choosing not to have children … to not form families. It is prevalent not to marry today. The result (due to this and other reasons)? Fewer children. This has now become a worldwide trend … from the Third World to Europe.

 

Again, the result? The world’s population is aging. The most significant impact of this development is that future retirees will be relying on the support and economic output of a following generation that is much smaller. The impact of this aging phenomenon cannot be escaped. The retiree to work ratio, as a result, is expanding rapidly. One way or another, all wealth and income will need to be supported by this following generation. However, the total pool of labor per capita will be lower!

 

Unavoidably, what that means is that the foundation of world wealth is on the path to corrosion. Policymakers also realize this. Their response? Pump up (inflate) the value of assets (house, stocks and bonds) in price, so as to make it look like wealth is increasing. It is an attempt to cover up the problem … to kick the can down the road for someone else to worry about.

 

The reality is that the accumulation of real wealth is a slow-moving process. Viewed very simply, human wealth in the world expands as the working population grows, and our incomes and labor exceed our consumption.

 

Many financial institutions—mutual fund management companies, for example—like to convince their clients that financial markets create limitless wealth. They would have us believe that stock and bond markets supposedly build wealth all on their own, independent of incomes, savings and human labors. And, of course, each mutual fund company likes to claim that it can extract more of this wealth out of the markets for its clients and its own profit than any other mutual fund company.

 

While these may be attractive concepts that sell billions in mutual funds and other investments, it is a total fallacy that financial markets create wealth. Neither do the financial industries. The truth is that they do not. By and large, their business is more concerned with the transfer of wealth. That’s not to say that financial services do not have value or are unimportant. But, to the extent that these industries promote the perception of “value” as wealth, or their ability to create wealth apart from human labor, they are mostly bamboozling us.

 

Foundations of Modern Financial Wealth Are False

 

Today, wealth is viewed as the “market value” of financial paper, securities and assets. Wealth, therefore, is entirely independent of the fruits of labor. Poof … voila … and more fictitious financial wealth can be created with the blink of an eye. That is a perspective that is supported by supposed experts. We quote an article that famously laid bare this shift to disregard underlying income and savings as the real underpinnings to wealth.

 

“Securitization—the issuance of high-quality bonds and stocks—has become the most powerful engine of wealth creation in today’s world economy. […] Overall, securitization is fundamentally altering the international economic system. Historically, manufacturing, exporting, and direct investment produced prosperity through income creation. Wealth was created when a portion of income was diverted from consumption into investment in buildings, machinery, and technological change. Societies accumulated wealth slowly over generations. Now many societies, and indeed the entire world, have learned how to create wealth directly. The new approach requires that a state find ways to increase the market value of its stock of productive assets.”1

 

That quote may prove to be a little too technical for some, but everyone will have understood what is meant by “learning to create wealth directly” and “increase the value of its stock.” What is intended here is that by simply “pumping” (inflating) both the price and the pool of financial assets (independent of labor output and savings), wealth can be created. This is totally wrong and the most heinous of deceptions.

 

Shocking Decline in Creation of Life

 

The second “labor” (wealth) corroding development we will mention is a shocking one. Men’s sperm counts are collapsing … around the world!

 

Researchers, led by Dr. Hagai Levine of Hebrew University of Jerusalem, examined thousands of studies and conducted reviews of 185 other studies. These included 42,935 male participants who provided semen samples between 1973 and 2011. The chosen studies were well distributed over the nearly 40 years of the study period and among 50 different countries.

 

What did the researchers determine? They discovered that men’s sperm counts in the Western world have fallen by 59% over the past 40 years. Ponder on this incredible statistic. If the count decline were to continue at the same pace in the future, men’s sperm counts would be at zero in only 4 decades! It is not just a Western problem. There are indications that declines in sperm counts are occurring globally.

 

The impact of this development is shattering in many ways. The rate of child conception will be lower … if not already. And, should counts continue to deteriorate, world populations would begin to decline and age at a much more rapid rate. As we have pointed out: World wealth is tied to labor. Declining population growth will therefore further undermine the foundations of world wealth.

 

Points to Ponder

 

Financial wealth is booming during our generation. How can this be, when real wealth is creeping along at a fraction of that rate? Here again, we see that the main driver behind this apparently huge rise in wealth has been nothing more than a boom in the perception of value.2

 

If apparent wealth (perceived financial wealth and otherwise) is rising much faster than underlying income growth and savings, then something potentially very dangerous is occurring. It gives rise to a very deceitful environment, one in which claims on true wealth—the ownership of human labor, past, present and future—are being misrepresented. It allows the world to fall for an enormous bondage to fictitious financial wealth, even as true wealth is being hoarded by a select few as never before.

 

James (the half-brother of Jesus) uttered a prophecy about the last days: “Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days” (James 5:1-3).

 

Here, James reveals that wealth will in fact erode (rot and corrode) in the last days, meaning that wealth will decline and disappoint. Moreover, James also indicates that wealth (false and corroding as it may be) will be hoarded and concentrated in the hands of a few.

 

We cannot know with any certainty whether he foresaw our day today … in other words, this exact time. The “last days” can be said to have started with the appearance of the Church. But, the trends we are witnessing today align with the prophecies of James. In fact, given that we are living in the age where Jews are in the early stages of returning to Israel (this a fulfillment of last-day prophecy), and how these corrosive wealth trends are truly global, we would do well to discern current developments as having prophetic pedigree.

 

As such, these are the necessary preceding developments that lead to the final fulfilled prophecies such as we find in Revelation. “They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: ‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin!’” (Revelation 18:19).

 

While the world celebrates the “appearance” of booming wealth, even while at the same time its fundamental foundations are crumbling, what attitude should Christians take?

 

We are to continue to live our lives free of the love of money.

 

We are to keep our minds on heavenly things. “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:1-2).
