False alarm...or coming Great Depression?
On October 7, 2008, we warned “American capitalism has failed. What next?” But in his March 24, 2009 news conference, President Obama stated, “We will recover from this recession.” Which is true?
according to Scripture that because our nations have rejected the true God of the Bible and His Laws and Holydays, the United States, Britain and other descendants of ancient Jacob will decline and eventually be subjugated by a resurgent European superpower. Our predecessor in this work, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, accurately warned of this as far back as the 1940s (December 1948 The Plain Truth Magazine,1960 “Who is the Beast” booklet, etc.).
the guilt of the nation, the intensity of the suffering, the degradation of the victims, and the lingering consequences of this divine judgment. And make no mistake about it; this invasion was a punishment from the Almighty MATTHEW 22:7).
If Matthew 24:5-33 refers to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, as some contend,
Matthew 24: 21 — that this was the worst calamity in history?”
Many scholars have argued the case that the earlier portion of Matthew 24 has to do with the impending fall of Jerusalem (accomplished in A.D. 70 when invaded by the Romans), and not with events associated with the Second Coming of Christ — as commonly alleged by dispensationalists. However, some suggest that verse 21 of this chapter is a formidable argument against this position.

No body of people has ever been more culpable of crimes against God than the Jews of the first century. They had the advantages of twenty centuries of divine cultivation in preparation for the coming of the “seed” of Abraham, through whom the world was to be blessed (Gen. 12:1-3). Yet they rejected their own Messiah, and pled: “His blood be on us, and on our children” MATT 27:25). That petition was granted!
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation
MATT 23:29-36).
Lord provided ample warnings of the impending tragedy. Those who heeded his words escaped the city in advance of the horror. So far as the historical record indicates, none of those who obeyed Christ’s instructions perished.
Christ specifically said that “Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled LUKE 21:24).
For many years following the events of A.D. 70, no Jew was permitted into the once-sacred city. Only once a year could they assemble on nearby hills overlooking the Jerusalem and mourn their loss.
In A.D. 132, after some Jewish re-infiltration of the city, there was another revolt and the Romans again invaded and demolished the city. The Roman emperor Hadrian, who reigned from A.D. 117-138, paganized Jerusalem considerably. In the time of Constantine a so-called “Christian” influence prevailed in Jerusalem, but that came to an end when the Muslim movement took the city in A.D. 637
