A SHORT HISTORY OF THE U$ DOLLAR AS WORLD RESERVE CURRENCY - HOW
THE FINANCIAL CRISIS WILL UNFOLD – BIBLICAL PROPHECY UNFOLDING
TODAY
When the Lamb opened the
third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there
before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his
hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures,
saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a
day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!” Revelation 6.5-6
This short recent history of the
U$ dollar as the world currency will help us understand the coming financial
transformation and the opening of the third seal in Revelation.
In 1971 the U$ dollar was backed by gold. Gold was priced at
$35 per ounce. This system, set up after World War II, was called the Bretton Woods Agreement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_system
It established the U$ dollar as the new world reserve
currency backed by gold. This gave the USA great financial power over the
nations. Nations now had to have U$ dollars in reserve in order to conduct
trade. A new order was begun.
In the late 1960’s French President Charles de Gaulle decided
to demand the US pay him gold for the U$ dollars he had in reserve. If other
countries would follow suit the USA would not have enough gold to pay out.
President Nixon and Henry Kissinger came up with a plan to
get the USA off of the gold standard and still keep the gold stockpiled in Fort
Knox, Kentucky. https://www.thebalance.com/what-is-a-petrodollar-3306358
They made a deal with Saudi Arabia and the OPEC nations that
in return for USA protection all oil would be sold on the world market in U$
dollars only. This became known as the Petro-dollar. Nixon removed the
dollar/gold link. Gold could no longer be demanded for U$ dollars.
As a result,
the value of the U$ dollar plummeted. That helped the U.S. economy as
its export values also decreased, making them more competitive. A falling dollar hurt oil-exporting countries because contracts
were now priced in U.S. dollars. Their oil revenues dropped along
with the dollar. The cost of imports, denominated in other currencies,
increased. The USA was in control.
The U$ dollar now
ruled the world. In order to purchase oil countries must have huge reserves of
dollars. This would allow the USA to expand credit and eventually the world was
now controlled by the U$ dollar trading system. We could expand credit because
these countries had to have billions of dollars as reserves.
Our generation
became very comfortable and accustomed to buying goods and services on credit.
Today in 2020 our official debt is more than $28 trillion dollars—but that doesn’t
count all the social welfare programs, grants, social security, and other
spending. Add that in and the debt is 100’s of trillions more.
A great advantage
of being the world’s currency has allowed the USA to project its power and will
upon other nations. If they do not do as we say they receive no aid. When they
do receive aid through World Banks they become indebted to us and now must obey
our directives.
The greatest
advantage to the US is the ability to put sanctions on other nations. An
example are the sanctions on Iran. All banking had to go through the US system
in order to process the dollars required for oil and other trade. The USA has
the ability to bring down a nation’s entire economy through sanctions.
When I first began
prayerfully studying the world and US banking and financial system this was all
working—But things began changing right around that time.
Led by Russia and
China our enemies determined to find a way around the sanctions. They were no
longer going to be dictated to by the USA. This all began to happen after the
terrible 9/11 event which in fact was the opening attack on the USA Financial
system.
First - China and
Russia began to buy tons and tons of gold bullion each and every year. They
began stockpiling the precious metal. They still are.
Second – They began
to develop their own banking and credit card clearing system. Prior to this
they had to use the SWIFT system controlled by the US. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/050515/how-swift-system-works.asp
Third – They began
to make trade deals with each other to trade in their own currencies and if
need be, GOLD.
Fourth – Saudi Arabia
has quietly made deals with Russia, China, and others to sell oil in gold or
Russian and Chinese currency.
During the years
between 2009 and 2015 my studies were on how this was all being set up. Sometime
later I began reading articles on how this was now established and in
operation. As I write, these countries are operating on their own system and also
using dollars in other transactions in order to rid
their treasuries of US dollars and other Financial instruments.
The third seal of the Book of Revelation is
being unsealed.
The Corona Virus
has accelerated the unsealing. The Federal Reserve and the US Congress are now
pumping trillions of dollars into the US economy to keep it from collapsing. They
most likely will succeed in propping up the US economy for a short time.
Then the economy
will heat up and come back strong—inflation will raise its ugly head and prices
of goods and services are going to increase dramatically. We are in the first
phase of financial collapse.
President Trump is
beginning the nationalization of the Fed. The US government is taking control.
If the Fed collapses the US government will take over.
The next phase
will lead the world towards a new world order
currency. The US will not be able to control the world with dollars
when the economy collapses. I don’t know how long this will take to play out.
Now is the time to
prepare. You can make some simple preparations.
The Lord will
provide but…The prudent see danger and take refuge, but
the simple keep going and pay the penalty. Proverbs 22.3
There are simple things you can do.
Have some extra food stuffs and things you might need for at least three
months. Have some extra cash on hand in case the banks are closed. What if the
electronic card system shuts down? There are other things you may do…ask for
personal direction from the Father.
Some have said to me, “I don’t have to
prepare the Lord will take care of me.” My response is, “Yes, He will, and you
will become a burden on your brother who was prepared.” Pull your weight. Many
will be totally unprepared. This virus is a warning.
A financial collapse will be much worse
than the virus. It will be complete chaos. You can hide yourself in the shadow
of His wings and be prepared. There is time. It is coming. Take advantage of
the time we have been given. It is coming.
Be blessed, be safe, be wise. He is
giving us warning.
