A palpable sense of impending doom hangs over the nation, as it seems to unravel at the seams and spiral out of control. Political leaders pursue their own agendas, disregarding the welfare of those they claim to represent. The wealthy and powerful continue to amass more wealth and influence, indifferent to the struggles of the common person unless it poses a threat to their convenience. National borders erode, and cultural clashes create intense friction rather than the seamless integration often promised. Debates on once-unthinkable topics dominate public discourse, intensifying the sense of crisis. Many wonder silently how much longer this chaos can persist, instinctively knowing the answer: not long. Something must give, leaving unanswered questions of how much time remains, how severe the fallout will be, and what the nation will become in the aftermath. Historical patterns reveal that societies often cycle through predictable phases, including a Crisis period of chaos and existential threat. Currently, the Anglo-American peoples stand at the brink of what has been termed the Millennial Crisis, the seventh iteration of this cycle. Past Crises have brought massive economic hardship and total war, a daunting prospect given today's advanced weaponry. Six times before, these peoples have rallied and sacrificed to overcome enemies and hardships, ensuring national and cultural survival. However, this seventh crisis carries a critical difference: God is largely unwelcome on the Anglo-American side. Secularization has deepened, with public acknowledgment of the Creator barred in many spheres since the 1960s, and the consequences are already evident. The Creator, who has blessed this nation beyond any other due to His promises, has been rejected, and those who trust in Him are often scorned. Without God's presence, the chances of emerging intact from this crisis are slim, especially if the nation views Him as an adversary.

In the context of global events, it is striking to consider the mounting economic woes of nations like China, where the question arises: If this isn't a crisis, what would a crisis look like? Historical cycles suggest that major crises descend on English-speaking peoples with regularity, approximately every 80-100 years, once in every four generations. Since the last significant crisis occurred during the Depression and World War II, another major crisis looms on the horizon. Yet, many fail to recognize past crises, such as the Cold War, which, despite the absence of direct battlefield confrontations, was a real war marked by dangerous political games and arms races. This period kept nations on a war footing for decades, highlighting how crises can unfold without widespread acknowledgment. Taking a step back to view the broader picture of world affairs is essential to understand the true nature of current and impending national crises. Key questions must be asked: Where are the real points of conflict in the world? Who are the antagonists, and what are their aims? How stable is the world's economy? How are major alliances configured, and are they shifting? What is the true spiritual, cultural, political, and financial condition of significant nations? Such a perspective helps in regaining bearings as the world moves toward the coming crisis and beyond.

There is a crisis of potentially huge proportions that already exists and appears to be building toward the biblically prophesied crisis at the close of the age when Christ returns. We are in an economic circumstance where threatening clouds, described as an economic perfect storm, have gathered but have not yet unleashed their deluge of economic woes. Key factors include a record and growing demand for oil, the world's most important non-renewable resource, combined with an historically low supply and little hope for substantial increase, alongside political instability in oil-producing states such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Nigeria, Venezuela, and Cameroon. Additionally, the deficit and debt in the economy of the United States, the world's largest consuming nation, trigger inflation, leading to rises in interest rates and eventually deflation. At the storm's vortex, in the climax of these elements, will be war. This critical situation in the modern world's economic condition is evident as information regarding the world's oil supply and demand becomes known, along with the resulting impact on the American economy. The potential for conspiracies among those in seats of power in modern nations like America, Britain, and France, whether in the economy, education, media, or military, cannot be ignored. Such conspiracies often involve multinational elites in corporate business, banking, and media, pushing toward globalism or a New World Order, driven by secularism and anti-God sentiments. These powerful groups, informed of crises like the oil shortage decades ago, have developed plans to secure their survival and extend their power, often at the expense of the powerless. The driving forces behind this national crisis include survival and greed, with leaders pursuing carnal wisdom for their own benefit, not for the establishment of God's kingdom. Their vision, global in scope, aims to maintain and expand control over those who may survive, sometimes through extreme measures. Despite internal divisions and competition, world affairs are gradually moving in a direction orchestrated by satan, the great conspirator, toward a confrontation with God. It is essential to remain vigilant as events worsen, preparing both physically and spiritually to face the challenges ahead.

Our nation faces a looming national crisis driven by the critical dependency on oil, a resource that underpins the Western world's high standard of living. The war in Iraq and the rising cost of oil-derived products are interconnected events that significantly impact the quality of life and cost of living. Without cheap oil, the lifestyle we know could unravel swiftly, affecting everything from farming to transportation, hospitals to household goods. Oil powers one-third of the world's energy for lighting, fuels the machinery of agriculture, and is essential for fertilizers, medications, and plastics. A sudden cutoff would halt planes, trains, trucks, and buses, making food scarce in supermarkets and potentially shutting down essential services. The concept of Peak Oil, when a nation can no longer meet its oil demand internally, is already a reality for the United States, which reached this point in 1971 and has since relied on imports. Globally, 51 oil-producing countries have peaked, with only 16 yet to do so, but their peaking dates are imminent due to rising demand, especially from industrializing nations like China and India. The United States consumes 25% of the world's oil production, and China's demand is projected to match this within five years, straining global supply further. Saudi Arabia, despite claims of vast reserves, may have far less than reported, with their major field possibly lasting only 61 days if solely relied upon to meet world demand. Their Peak Oil date is now estimated at 2011, just seven years away, intensifying the crisis. This scarcity drives international tension and conflict, as seen in the U.S. presence in Iraq, motivated by securing the world's second-largest oil reserves. Nations are maneuvering in anticipation of diminishing supplies, engaging in a frantic competition for remaining resources, which explains global anger and the seeds of war. New oil discoveries are plummeting, with none found in 2003, and even a massive new reserve would only delay the inevitable by two years due to soaring consumption rates. Geologists predict that worldwide demand will permanently outstrip supply as early as late 2005 or mid-2006, with the last barrel potentially gone by 2029, accompanied by skyrocketing prices due to declining crude quality and refining costs. Economically, this crisis is the precursor to broader turmoil, with inflation and heavy indebtedness already emerging as consequences of war and resource scarcity. The U.S. government's deficit is staggering, spending over $1.37 billion daily beyond its budget, sustained only by foreign investment in treasury bonds. If these investors withdraw, the economy could deflate rapidly, dwarfing past depressions. Rising crude prices are already inflating consumer goods costs, threatening industries like airlines with bankruptcy and causing job losses. Food prices may soar due to transportation costs, and the government is unlikely to prioritize civilian needs over military demands for oil, hinting at future rationing reminiscent of World War II. In the face of this economic storm, characterized by record oil demand, low supply, political instability in oil-producing regions, and massive U.S. debt, we must act with diligence. The crisis is not yet at its peak, but it approaches like a freight train, demanding preparation. We cannot rely on external aid but must take responsibility to weather the coming challenges, recognizing that the quality of life may drop tremendously if these warnings prove true.

In the cycle of generational turnings, the fourth turning, termed the crisis, aligns with the harshness of winter and marks a period of intense national distress. This phase, lasting approximately 20 to 25 years, is characterized by significant governmental and economic challenges, though not a full depression. The nation faces fiscal difficulties, with the government claiming greater federal tax monies, federal marshals enforcing orders, tax rebellions, and the beginnings of a constitutional crisis. These issues are already underway, reflecting a persistent inability to resolve the crisis due to a lack of character and will among leaders to issue necessary directives. Additionally, this crisis period includes predictions of terror attacks on the nation involving an airliner and a building, alongside an increase in international military responses. The nation finds itself entangled in conflicts abroad, unable to extract itself due to the quality of leadership lacking resolve. Economic disasters involving Wall Street institutions and federal budget impasses leading to stalemates further compound the crisis, as evidenced by past financial crashes that nearly overwhelmed the system. An eco-environmental malaise emerges, with the Centers for Disease Control announcing the spread of new communicable viruses, leading to quarantines and relocations. This health crisis builds rapidly, exacerbated by poor handling of national health problems. Internationally, growing anxiety surrounds anarchy in former Soviet Republics, with Russia emerging as a significant concern, alongside predictions of alliances with Iran, soaring gold and silver prices, and escalating global military responses. The breakdown of trust within the nation, established by earlier generations, is torn down during this fourth turning. Internal divisions and cultural shifts towards individualism further erode national unity, with no positive resolution foreseen until the emergence of the next generational high. The influence of globalist agendas and the resistance to strengthening the nation independently highlight the deep-seated challenges of this crisis period.

America finds itself once again in the midst of great civil turmoil in 2026, with debates designed purely for division and no easy compromise in sight. Radical elements on either side of these debates show less concern for coexistence and more for a staunch refusal to coexist at all. The assassination of Charlie Kirk and the attempted assassinations of President Trump highlight the root issue: compromise is welcome only if the other side concedes. There is less talking and more shouting, with few willing to consider opposing viewpoints. The lines are drawn primarily between Nationalists, who desire a traditional approach to governance with defined borders, laws, values, private property, and American sovereignty, and Globalists, who seek to blur national borders, promote unfettered immigration, diminish private property, and abandon traditional values and national sovereignty. From 2021 through 2024, America faced an unsustainable influx of illegal immigrants, with an estimated eleven to twenty million crossing the southern border, facilitated by globalist-leaning politicians. This has cost billions in taxpayer dollars and uncovered widespread fraud within the immigration industry, allegedly benefiting those same politicians. The current White House, while escalating acrimony with unrestrained attacks on the political left, is determined to deport as many illegal immigrants as possible and investigate the alleged fraud, increasing animosity from the opposition while allies demand persistence. American people, both well-intentioned and less informed, join the fray in growing numbers, with financial and political support fueling a prolonged clash. Politicians and media, claiming to ease tensions, only stir more unrest. Fierce clashes occur on America's streets between the United States Border Patrol (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and illegal immigrants alongside their political and civilian allies. Several states, including Minnesota, Washington, California, Illinois, New York, and Oregon, and cities like San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, New York City, and Minneapolis, have declared themselves sanctuaries for illegal immigrants, obstructing ICE's deportation efforts in defiance of the administration. The political vitriol is deafening, lawsuits are mounting, and calls for violent upheaval grow louder. State and federal courts and legislatures grapple with what some call the greatest Constitutional crisis since the Civil War. Observers question whether America is approaching a point of no return, potentially heading toward another bloody Civil War, with some believing this is the desired outcome of Globalists to weaken America for their international goals. Others declare globalism dead in America. The unresolved question remains whether Americans possess the will for a protracted, bloody conflict to settle political differences, or if cooler heads will prevail.

The Seven Bowls or Vials of God's Wrath represent the culmination of divine judgment upon a disobedient world, as depicted in the sequence of catastrophic events following the sounding of the seventh trumpet. These seven last plagues, comprising the third woe, are poured forth on mankind as a final act of correction. They come after a series of devastating trumpet plagues that bring immense suffering, including vast military conflicts and natural disasters orchestrated by God to demonstrate His authority. Despite the horrors of preceding events, mankind remains unrepentant, filled with hatred and defiance against God's will. The pouring out of these vials signifies God's ultimate response to this rebellion, ensuring that every people, race, and nation finally listens to Him as everything else is stripped away. The last punishment within the seventh trumpet includes a great plague of hail, with hailstones weighing from 75 to 130 pounds, symbolizing the complete attention of the world to God's power. Through these vials, God brings an end to the wars and false beliefs that have plagued humanity for millennia, ushering in a time of unprecedented peace and national repentance.
