Banks

Last week in adult ed, we talked about the headline that U.S. banks may well be nationalized (owned by the U.S. Government) by this fall. And this week's headlines continue to talk of this matter. Bank stocks, as a result, continue to plummet with the realization that if this happens...the stockholder's investment value will go to zero.

A few months ago, it would have been heretical to suggest that Bank of America could become Bank Owned by America.

Now, however, the U.S. economy is sinking faster than anyone thought possible, and respected economic authorities are suggesting that temporary bank nationalization could be the best solution.

Discerning ears should pick up on the "...faster than anyone thought possible." Jesus said The End will come like a flood and sweep many away...meaning faster than anyone thought possible. I have a feeling that the builders of the Tower of Babel were also surprised at how quickly their grand project came to nothing.

When will we humans learn that anything built apart from God's design has a very short shelf life?....especially when what we have erected is a false idol.
