is this it.....??
it is now apparent that the "fox" Goldman Sacks is in the hen-house.....
will the dollar go down and hyperinflation set in?
will WWIII begin?
we don't know; all the Bible says is that the system will go down in the tribulation so now could be the birthpains.
fellow believers, make friends with you christian neighbours and make sure that you are ready to play your WHOLE life in God's hands
God bless
