The Falling Within of the House of Joseph
Dear Brethren,
The new 19-Year Time Cycle of 2010 finds America and Britain in such unparalleled problems they forbode their end as nations. When viewed where this evil age is in time along with end-time prophecies it would appear the end is not all that far away.
It is
truly sad to see such great nations so wonderfully blessed by the God
of Abraham through whom the promises were given in ancient times for
each to become the greatest of all nations through the laying on of
hands by Abraham’s great grandson, Jacob! (Genesis 48:13-20,
Please read the booklet “United States and Britain in
Prophecy” on our website, www.cog-ff.com).
Virtually everyone would say it is impossible that such a great super-power nation as America could fall! Yet, God tells us in many places this will soon happen just as other great civilizations have fallen in their time.
And the reason why America and Britain is going to fall is due to their rejection of God and His holy and righteous laws!
The very same reasons why Israel was conquered by Assyria and taken from their own lands in 721 B. C., and settled in other countries are the same in this generation (II Kings 17:5-23).
It is a proven historical fact that no great civilization has fallen without unless it has first fallen within as the result of its internal errors in its national judgments!
Consider the fall of the Babylonian Empire. History records it was the greatest of all civilizations. King Nebuchadnezzar had built such great defensive barriers around it that no enemy nation could penetrate it from the outside! It was impregnable!
Yet it easily fell one night to Darius the Mede and his Persian armies without any real struggle! This took place during a great feast that King Belshazzar was giving to a thousand of his lords who were celebrating their great conquests of past wars and were drinking wine from the gold and silver vessels taken from the Temple in Jerusalem after it fell to Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 5:1-4).
Though we know from Scriptures that God brought about the final fall of Babylon it should be realized that it first had fallen within for five major reasons:
Excessive taxation of its people 2) Armaments – the huge sums of money needed to equip its armies 3) Sports – the people had to be entertained 4) Divorce and Remarriages 5) Religion – it’s decadence
When studying the causes of the fall of the Roman Empire one can see these and other reasons brought about its fall as well.
There are numerous leaders in media and elsewhere who speak of the similarity of what led to the fall of Babylon and what is presently taking place in America.
Former
Secretary of Defense Henry Kissinger was quoted some years ago as
saying in essence what has happened in past civilizations is also
taking place in this great country, when he said: “Every
civilization that has ever existed has ultimately collapsed.”
When taken to task about what he said, he
responded by
saying that he was speaking as a historian.
In addition to the problems that caused the collapse of the Babylonian Empire, there are other very grave problems that are sapping the strength of this nation and Britain as well as one can see from the following writing.
NEW BUCHANAN BOOK DECLARES 'END OF AMERICA'

"America is coming apart, decomposing, and...the likelihood of her survival as one nation...is improbable -- and impossible if America continues on her current course," declares Pat Buchanan. "For we are on a path to national suicide."
The best-selling author and former presidential candidate is on the eve of launching his new epic book: DAY OF RECKONING: HOW HUBRIS, IDEOLOGY AND GREED ARE TEARING AMERICA APART.
This time, Buchanan goes all the way:
"America is in an existential crisis
from which the nation may not survive."
The
U.S. Army is breaking and is too small to meet America's global
commitments.
The dollar has sunk to
historic lows and is being abandoned by foreign governments.
U.S.
manufacturing is being hollowed out.
The greatest invasion in history, from the Third World, is swamping the ethno-cultural core of the country, leading to Balkanization and the loss of the Southwest to Mexico.
The culture is collapsing and the nation is being deconstructed along the lines of race and class.
A fiscal crisis looms as the unfunded mandates of Social Security and Medicare remain unaddressed.
All these crises are hitting America at
once -- a perfect storm of crises.
Specifically,
Buchanan contends:
. Pax Americana, the era of U.S. global dominance, is over. A struggle for global hegemony has begun among the United States, China, a resurgent Russia and radical Islam.
. Torn asunder by a culture war, America has now begun to break down along class, ethnic and racial lines.
. Free trade is shipping jobs, factories and technology to China and plunging America into permanent dependency and unpayable debt. One of every six U.S. manufacturing jobs vanished under Bush.
. "Sovereign Wealth Funds," controlled by foreign regimes and stuffed with trillions of dollars from U.S. trade deficits, are buying up strategic corporate assets vital to America's security.
. As U.S. wages are stagnant, corporate CEOs are raking in rising pay and benefits 400 to 500 times that of their workers.
. The Third World invasion through Mexico is a graver threat to our survival as one nation than anything happening in Afghanistan or Iraq.
* European-Americans, 89% of the nation when JFK took the oath, are now 66% and sinking. Before 2050, America is a Third World nation.
. By 2060, America will add 167 million people and 105 million immigrants will be here, triple the 37 million today.
. Hispanics will be over 100 million in 2050 and concentrated in a Southwest most Mexicans believe belongs to them.
Predictions by a Respected Trends Forecaster
Gerald Celente, the CEO of Trends Research Institute
Celente Predicts Revolution, Food Riots, Tax Rebellions By 2012
T
rend
forecaster, renowned for being accurate in the past, says that
America
will cease to be a developed nation within 4 years, crisis will be
“worse than the great depression”
We’re going to see the end of the retail Christmas….we’re going to see a fundamental shift take place….putting food on the table is going to be more important than putting gifts under the Christmas tree,” said Celente, adding that the situation would be “worse than the great depression”.
“America’s going to go through a transition the likes of which no one is prepared for,” said Celente, noting that people’s refusal to acknowledge that America was even in a recession highlights how big a problem denial is in being ready for the true scale of the crisis.
Celente, who successfully predicted the 1997 Asian Currency Crisis, the subprime mortgage collapse and the massive devaluation of the U.S. dollar, told UPI in November last year that the following year would be known as “The Panic of 2008,” adding that “giants (would) tumble to their deaths,” which is exactly what we have witnessed with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and others. He also said that the dollar would eventually be devalued by as much as 90 per cent.
The consequence of what we have seen unfold this year would lead to a lowering in living standards, Celente predicted a year ago, which is also being borne out by plummeting retail sales figures.
The prospect of revolution was a concept echoed by a British Ministry of Defence report last year, which predicted that within 30 years, the growing gap between the super rich and the middle class, along with an urban underclass threatening social order would mean, “The world’s middle classes might unite, using access to knowledge, resources and skills to shape transnational processes in their own class interest,” and that, “The middle classes could become a revolutionary class.”
In a separate recent interview, Celente went further on the subject of revolution in America.
“There will be a revolution in this country,” he said. “It’s not going to come yet, but it’s going to come down the line and we’re going to see a third party and this was the catalyst for it: the takeover of Washington, D. C., in broad daylight by Wall Street in this bloodless coup. And it will happen as conditions continue to worsen.”
“The first thing to do is organize with tax revolts. That’s going to be the big one because people can’t afford to pay more school tax, property tax, any kind of tax. You’re going to start seeing those kinds of protests start to develop.”
“It’s going to be very bleak. Very sad. And there is going to be a lot of homeless, the likes of which we have never seen before. Tent cities are already sprouting up around the country and we’re going to see many more.”
“We’re going to start seeing huge areas of vacant real estate and squatters living in them as well. It’s going to be a picture the likes of which Americans are not going to be used to. It’s going to come as a shock and with it, there’s going to be a lot of crime. And the crime is going to be a lot worse than it was before because in the last 1929 Depression, people’s minds weren’t wrecked on all these modern drugs – over-the-counter drugs, or crystal meth or whatever it might be. So, you have a huge underclass of very desperate people with their minds chemically blown beyond anybody’s comprehension.”
Brethren, please realize the only hope for American and Britain is heartfelt repentance for rejecting God and His holy and righteous laws (Ezekiel 18:30-32). Though all things are possible it appears this to be extremely unlikely. Even so, we should be praying for their repentance.
The Holy Bible and history records that Darius the Mede was able to walk his army through an empty river bed (Isaiah 44:27), and through open gates into the great city of Babylon (Isaiah 45:1-3). While capturing this great city, King Belshazzar was killed (Jeremiah 51:30-32; Daniel 5:30-31).
Due to the many grave problems in America and Britain, the house of Joseph, will soon be conquered just as was Babylon and other great civilizations in past history have been! This time it will be by a blitzkrieg nuclear attack from the revived Holy Roman Empire of Europe without any significant retaliation (Ezekiel 7:14-15).
Where will you and I be when this takes place?
It should be realized that to be in the right place, we MUST always be vigilant and discerning of major breaking news events while keeping abreast of what prophecy reveals to us.
And at the same time we MUST be preparing ourselves spiritually so as to be counted worthy to stand before Jesus Christ in all of His awesome glory as He descends to this earth (Luke 21:36).

servant and friend,
