It's been two years since this thread was started. How much do we have to wait for the "greatest depression" to hit?
I have shared a number of links that show the greatest depression has already hit China, and is just starting to cause a collapse in Russia. The reason so many countries have fled from the dollar to BRICS is because of the inflation they have because of our policies.
Yesterday Yellen said it wasn't theft for them to take the interest that Russia earns on their US bonds and to give that to Ukraine because of some double speak nonsense I didn't understand and would not be able to repeat. I would argue that the Petrodollar is gone since Saudi Arabia has agreed to sell oil in the PetroYuan. This action by Yellen yesterday is going to accelerate the demise of the US dollar as a reserve currency. No one is going to be buying US bonds if the US gets to decide who to give the interest to.
As for the US we are primed, the stage is set. Purchasing power has decreased by 28% since Biden became president (I am using gold as a standard of value). That took place prior to the end of the Petrodollar. With AI we are told that robots will take 100 million jobs which I assume was only referring to the first world. That is over 20% of the jobs. We are also told that ChatGPT5 is AGI and thus will be able to do 80% of white collar jobs. This is an election year and they have done everything they possibly can to delay the inevitable so as not to obliterate any chance that Biden has, but already the odds makers are saying the odds are between 2:1 and 4:1 that Trump wins. I think this attempt to delay the inevitable is only going to make the collapse all the more catastrophic. I also believe it will take place prior to the election in November.
Personally it is always much harder to say "when" than "what" or "why". How is a better question, more challenging than what but not as difficult as when. I think we will have a black swan event, and I use that term loosely. I would prefer the use of the term "fig leaf event". Some event where they can claim "no one could have predicted this" giving people like Yellen and Biden and Trump a fig leaf. The reality is that the world's economy is a giant jenga tower that is primed for the Lord to pull out that one block causing the whole thing to collapse.
I also believe the collapse of the world's economy is what causes everyone to run into the arms of the Antichrist and agree to draconian rules of the mark of the beast. It is the "greatest" depression that sets the stage for him to take power. He comes to power when three horns are broken off and I believe those three are: the US, Russia and China. Compared to those three horns he will be seen as "the little horn".
The only two "prophecies" that I can look at concerning "when" would be Dumitru Duduman, if you view him as a Jonah like prophet who gave the US a 40 year warning before destruction that would take you to July of 2024, 40 years after he was "spit up" onto the US shore. The other prophecy is the Alpha and Omega eclipses. The first one in August of 2017 went over seven cities named Salem. If you interpret that as seven years of peace then that would expire in August of 2024.
