AMERICA: DEATH OF EMPIRES (PART TWO)

(7) DON’T DIVIDE GOD’S LAND, JERUSALEM OR ISRAEL: America is NOT mentioned in the Bible. Why? Discernment. America (5) Divided, Split, Cut, or Fractured and Separated into FIVE ‘5’ Pieces:

Zechariah 12:3 And in (7) that day will I make Jerusalem a (7) burdensome stone for all people: all that (7) burden themselves with it shall be cut (7) in pieces, though all the people of (7) the earth be gathered together against it. (77777)

The prophets warn (7) that the Nations will attempt to divide (7) the Land of Israel and that this (7) will be the means for the downfall: (777)

For lo! (7) in those days 1 And in that time, (7) When I restore the fortunes Of Yehuda (7) and Yerushalayim, I will gather all the (7) nations And bring them down to the (7) Valley of Yehoshafat. There I will contend (7) with them Over My very own people, (7) Yisrael, Which they scattered among the nations. (7) For they divided My land among themselves. Joel 4:1-2 (77777777)

Matthew 12:25 And (7) Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto (7) them, Every kingdom divided against itself is (7) brought to desolation; and every city or (7) house divided against itself shall not stand: (7777)

Mark 3:24 And if a kingdom be (7) divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. (7)

Mark 3:25 And if a house be (7) divided against itself, that house cannot stand. (7)

Luke 11:17 But he, knowing their (7) thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided (7) against itself is brought to desolation; and (7) a house divided against a house falleth. (777)

Luke 12:53 The father (7) shall be divided against the son, and (7) the son against the father; the mother (7) against the daughter, and the daughter against (7) the mother; the mother in law against (7) her daughter in law, and the daughter (7) in law against her mother in law. (777777) 6×7

The US Government has become politically divided and is in discord and disunity. The political division affecting and splitting America is a direct result of its efforts to ‘divide Jerusalem’ via the regional covenant of ‘PEACE AND SECURITY’ (NORMALIZATION) in the Middle East. Throughout scripture, God has made it abundantly clear that Jerusalem is the ‘apple of his eye’ and has his stamp of ownership on it … above all other cities on earth. God makes it adequately clear in Zechariah 12:3 that any nation that attempts to cut or divide up Jerusalem, will themselves be cut up or divided. As such, the US is cut or divided politically (culturally, economically, racially, et.al) because of its leadership role in splitting God’s Holy City of earthly Jerusalem. Plain and simple.

DEATH OF EMPIRES (PART TWO): Debt could destroy US economy.

The snowballing US debt burden to be addressed before it turns into crisis

28 Jan, 2024 RT

The US economy is heading towards disaster as the vast national debt continues to mount, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said in an interview with Fox News earlier this week.

According to the chief executive of the nation’s largest bank, the situation urgently needs to be tackled by the government before it causes a major economic crisis.

“It is a cliff, we see the cliff,” Dimon said. “It’s about 10 years out, we’re going 60 miles an hour [toward it].”

The top executive agreed with the view of former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has called the snowballing debt “the most predictable crisis we’ve ever had.” The warnings were issued by Ryan and Dimon during a panel discussion at the Bipartisan Policy Center on Friday.

US government federal debt topped $34 trillion for the first time in history at the end of December. It now amounts to about $102,000 for an average American family of three. In 2023 alone, it grew by more than $4 trillion.

US total public debt is roughly equivalent to the economies of China, Germany, Japan, India, and the UK combined, as pointed out by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, a nonpartisan fiscal policy group in New York.

Earlier this week, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the absolute level of US public debt looks like “a scary number.”

“So far, that [the public debt] has been quite manageable,” she said, calling for steps “to make sure that our deficits come down and remain at manageable levels.”

The huge amount is comprised of what the federal government owes to creditors, including individuals, such as citizens and foreign investors, as well as states or large funds. Washington continues to borrow money to cover a budget deficit that has been running for more than 20 years.

US national debt interest exceeds defense spending: CBO

The latest budget update from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that the federal government has spent more on paying interest on the national debt than on the military in fiscal year 2024.

The CBO’s budget report for March showed that the U.S. has spent $412 billion on military programs at the Department of Defense through the first half of FY2024, according to preliminary figures from CBO and the Treasury Department. 

That represents an increase of $26 billion, or 8%, from the amount spent in the March through October period last year, but it has been surpassed by the rapidly growing cost of servicing the national debt.

Interest expenses incurred from the more than $34 trillion national debt totaled $440 billion in the first six months of FY2024 – an increase of $133 billion, or 43%, from the first half of FY2023. 

Those figures largely track with the CBO’s projections for FY2024 that were compiled as part of its 10-year budget outlook. 

That report, which was released in February, projected interest expenses would rise to $870 billion in FY2024 – up from $659 billion the year before – whereas defense spending would rise to $822 billion from $805 billion in FY2023. 

The dramatic increase in the cost of servicing the debt is due to higher interest rates brought about by the Federal Reserve’s fight against inflation. 

HEDGE FUND BILLIONAIRE SAYS US DEBT ‘IS A GROWING CONCERN THAT CANNOT BE OVERLOOKED’

Fed policymakers hiked rates to their highest level in two decades, with the benchmark federal funds rate currently sitting at a range of 5.25% to 5.5%. 

Those rate hikes followed inflation reaching a 40-year high of 9.1% year-over-year in June 2022, which declined to 3.2% as of February 2024 – an amount that remains elevated above the Fed’s 2% target rate. 

Officials have held rates high to get inflation back to target, though they have said they will consider incoming economic data and cut rates if inflationary pressures ease, which would help ease budgetary pressures caused by high interest rates on the cost of servicing the debt.

In terms of the overall budget, the CBO found that the federal government spent $3.252 trillion and took in $2.188 trillion in tax revenue in the first half of FY2024, resulting in a $1.064 trillion deficit.

While that budget deficit is about $37 billion smaller than what was incurred during the same period a year ago, when accounting for shifts in the timing of particular expenditures – like those delayed by weekends or holidays – it found that the deficit was about $46 billion larger.

The CBO projects that the full-year FY2024 budget deficit will total $1.5 trillion, a decrease from the $1.7 trillion deficit in FY2023 that ranked as the third-largest in U.S. history.

Last year’s $1.7 trillion deficit trailed only the $3.1 trillion FY2020 deficit and $2.7 trillion FY2021 deficit that were incurred at the peak of spending on COVID pandemic relief programs.

B. Believe Jesus is Lord. Believe that (7) Jesus Christ is who He claimed to (7) be; that He was both fully God (7) and fully man and that we are (7) saved through His death, burial, and resurrection. (7) Put your trust in Him as your (7) only hope of salvation. Become a son (7) or daughter of God by receiving Christ. (7777777) 7×7

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

C. Call upon His name, Confess (7) with your heart and with your lips (7) that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).

. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).
