Friday’s American stock
market provided further evidence of instability in the nation’s economy, and
even as financiers fear a possible fiscal
disaster in September, there has been little coverage among
U.S. media.
But the state-run media of Russia is warning of
what it calls America’s “economic apocalypse.”
The Russian news service
Sputnik, an agency launched by
Russia’s state-owned Rossiya Segodnya in 2014 to “target global audiences with
its non-mainstream take on world events,” predicts doom for the
American economy next month.
In a recent article,
Sputnik cites several
economists warning of catastrophe.
It continues: “Most of the experts agree that
all the optimistic data like record earnings on Wall Street and a surging
dollar is just disguising fundamental cracks, and the collapse of historic
proportions will happen within few months, starting in the U.S.
“No wonder such forecasts, and there are dozens,
from professional economists leave U.S. and the world dizzy and shivering in
fear and helplessness, just what one would probably feel if the actual
apocalypse was coming.”
September 2015 has become the focal point of
warnings and speculation because of a strange confluence of events.
These include:
- The seven-year, biblical Shemitah cycle ends Sept. 13
- The European Organization for Nuclear Research begins a controversial experiment
- Pope Francis arrives at the White House on Sept. 23 and will make an unprecedented address to a joint session of Congress the next day
- The fourth and last “blood moon” in the tetrad occurs on Sept. 28, on the biblical Feast of Tabernacles
With temporal, spiritual and economic events
lining up for next month, some pastors are urging Christians to be prepared,
warning they cannot rely on most American media outlets to report the truth.
Carl Gallups, a pastor,
former law-enforcement officer and author of the upcoming book “Be Thou
Prepared,” observes: “With the onslaught of predicted ominous
events scheduled to occur in or around September of this year, as well as the
actual scheduled events possessing possible prophetic overtones, a lot of
people certainly are tuned in to the end of this year with a laser focus.
Sadly, it sometimes seems the Russian media is more reliable and eclectic in
its reporting than is the American media. Given the fact that the United States
media often seems loathe to report on anything biblical or Christian in nature,
unless it is excoriating or marginalizing them, this should not surprise us.”
Gallups says the Russian
media’s focus on September may reflect a political and even religious agenda.
After all, he notes, “Russia and Putin have made a big
deal lately about the infusion of ‘Christian influence’ in
Putin’s ‘new’ Russian culture.
“As to the reliability of Russia’s speculation
that something catastrophic is going to happen in America this fall, and
particularly this September, I suppose their conjectures are [as] good as any.
I doubt that they have any special prophetic insight into these matters. Unless
they have some sort of covert plans to attempt to be a part of a
‘self-fulfilling prophecy.’ I certainly would not put that past them at all.”
Pastor Mark Biltz of El
Shaddai Ministries, the discoverer
of the “blood moons” phenomenon and the author of “Blood Moons:
Decoding the Imminent Heavenly Signs,” lambastes the American
press for ignoring what he believes are critically important developments.
“In reading these articles, I find the common
denominator to all of them is that the American media is clueless,” he told
WND.
