We must realize that the global economic and credit crisis is beyond any “fix” that our government can devise. The words of Jeremiah come to mind:
“For this is the day of the Lord of Hosts, a day of vengeance, that He may avenge Himself on His adversaries” (Jer 46:10).
“In vain you will use many medicines; you shall not be cured. The nations have heard of your shame, and your cry has filled the land; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty; they have both fallen together.” (Jer 46:11-12)
“I shall send him wine workers who will tip him over and empty his vessels and break the bottles” (Jer 48:12)
“Joy and gladness are taken from the plentiful field and from the land of Moab; I have caused wine to fail from the wine presses; No one will tread with joyous shouting-not joyous shouting!” (Jer 48:33)
“Your fierceness has deceived you, the pride of your heart, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill! Though you make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there” says the Lord. (Jer 49:16)
We must fall on our faces before Almighty God, for the wisdom of our leaders will not be enough to solve the crisis that is facing the United States financial system. We are running out of options. It is time for us to ” Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong”. 1 Corinthians 16:13
