Some people insist that mediocre is better than best.
They delight in clipping wings because they themselves can’t fly.
The despise brains because they have none. ~ Robert Heinlein

2023: Echoes Of 1973: prophecy news watch… “2023 is echoing 1973 in potentially consequential ways.”… “Consider these similarities / echoes: 1. Major shifts in global capital and trade flows that attracted little notice start to matter in terms of currency valuations, inflation, monetary and fiscal policy and geopolitics: check. 2. After decades of modest inflation, inflation not only rises but is sticky rather than transitory: check. 3. Major shifts in the power structure of global oil markets: check. 4. Cultural and social shifts become divisive, reaching destructive extremes: check. 5. A global superpower is ensnared in a hot war in which the other side is supplied by a superpower rival: check. 6. Political scandals upend the cozy arrangements of political elites: check. 7. A new wave of geopolitical rivalries arise between allies and rivals alike: check. 8. Stock and bond markets keep rallying like nothing’s changed, but since things have changed, each rally fails: check.” The article states that “the entire era from 2019 echoes the era that started in 1969”, but I think it goes back further than that. I remember talking with my dad about the riots that were happening in the years before he passed away. He stated that in his opinion, the current riots were worse than those in the 1960’s.

hope you have a great day!
thanks for stopping by!!

Ephesians 2: 8-10 (NKJV)
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 
⁹ not of works, lest anyone should boast. 
¹⁰ For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
