Age of America Nears End

We know the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been in the news a ton over the past few years.  This shouldn't surprise prophecy watchers because we know that the world is rushing towards a single currency just as the Bible says it will.

So this headline from the IMF shouldn't surprise us.

IMF bombshell: Age of America nears end

BOSTON (MarketWatch) — The International Monetary Fund has just dropped a bombshell, and nobody noticed.

For the first time, the international organization has set a date for the moment when the “Age of America” will end and the U.S. economy will be overtaken by that of China.

And it’s a lot closer than you may think.

According to the latest IMF official forecasts, China’s economy will surpass that of America in real terms in 2016 — just five years from now.

This is more than a statistical story. It is the end of the Age of America. As a bond strategist in Europe told me two weeks ago, “We are witnessing the end of America’s economic hegemony.”

We have lived in a world dominated by the U.S. for so long that there is no longer anyone alive who remembers anything else. America overtook Great Britain as the world’s leading economic power in the 1890s and never looked back.

And both those countries live under very similar rules of constitutional government, respect for civil liberties and the rights of property. China has none of those. The Age of China will feel very different.

So are we Christians ready for change?  What would God have us doing with our treasure during these Last Days?  Will we still be thankful if we lose most of our stuff?  Will we "Praise Him in the Storm"....or is that simply a catchy song that we sing?

I hope the rapture comes first, but if it doesn't we may soon be putting our faith to the test....and discovering how sincere we truly are.
