[quote:ChivalryKnight:MV8zOTE1ODg5XzcwNjQzMTAwXzFGNzNGODA4] [quote:Calvary2:MV8zOTE1ODg5XzcwNjQyODkwXzc5REMxRkFC] [quote:ChivalryKnight:MV8zOTE1ODg5XzcwNjQyNjYwX0Y0REEyRTZF] Two good reads on this are Sarah Menet's book "There is no death" and Julie Rowe's book "The time is now." Both of these ladies went out of body in NDE experiences some 20+ years apart and have confirming witnesses. One of the key themes is chaotic breakdowns of law and order in major metropolitan regions. Other key themes in other prophetic writings include the trojan horse of massive waves of immigrants Poor sanitation and Meteors or bacteriological changes (both of which affected London in 1664 plague) Unsustainable debt Women in the top office (sign of the elite to the masses of complete conquest) Read also George Washington's vision, 3rd peril in particular. [/quote] Excellent info! I hadn't heard of Menet or Rowe. I'll definitely read their accounts. The time really is now and it is up to us to make sure it all goes through as smoothly as possible so that the generation being born today not only survives but thrives. They'll be the first humans to begin to live as we were meant to live. Then that generation's children will be born into that great world as it should be. Grab your shields brothers and sisters! We've work to do. [/quote] I pray I am worthy to make it to the Kingdom age on earth. Many Christians believe the overcomers will actually have and receive their immortal bodies soon (fulfillment of feast of Tabernacles) The "shack" (corrupt system) has to come down for the Castle (Kingdom age of Jesus Christ) to emerge on the earth as part of the cleansing. Two Cardinal rules IMHO as per The Master's sermon long ago.... LOVE GOD LOVE NEIGHBOR [/quote]

When complex systems fail, they almost never fail all at once. They usually suffer from a cascading failure or a series of smaller failures leading up to the complete breakdown of the systems functions. Our social, economic and environmental systems are all breaking down and the end result will be catastrophic for the people, but the breakdown will not happen all at once.
Many people understand that the system is failing but they do not have a clear understanding of how it will affect them. In a cascading failure one part leads to the damage and failure of another part until everything stops. In an automobile, when the oil pump goes bad it stops pumping oil to all of the internal parts that come in contact with one another preventing them from causing excess wear to one another. As the oil flow stops it will not stop the engine or any other parts from working and you will continue down the road unknowing unless a light or gage gives you a warning. As the oil is worn off of the metal parts you begin to get more signs something is wrong. The lifters will start tapping louder as time goes on and the temperature of the engine will start to increase as the parts cause more friction with one another. Eventually the bearings will begin to wear excessively against one another until they seize up and stop the engine completely.
This could happen very rapidly or it could happen over a matter of minutes, but the damage will be the same. Many people feel that the economic problems they see ahead will occur like a car wreck, happening very rapidly and ending suddenly in heavy damage and chaos. With large complex systems, there are many moving parts and they rarely all fail simultaneously. Instead you will more likely see a cascading series of failures that cause increasing damage as they progress. You might think of the coming breakdown more like falling down a long flight of stairs rather than an automobile accident.
As you begin to fall at the top of the stairs you realize you are in trouble but it takes a short period of time before the first damage is done. As you impact the first step you suffer much damage as your body absorbs the initial impact and slows you down a little. Then as you roll and tumble down the stairs you suffer more injury. Some steps you will hit hard and some you may miss entirely along the way. As you fall the injuries will increase until you get to the bottom. One person may fall all the way down and only suffer a few bruises while another may suffer a fractured skull and multiple broken bones. The difference comes in how flexible you are and able you are to absorb the impacts.
