NEWS EVENTS AND COMMENTS
By
Dr. Stephen Jones: 4-14-2020
Blog Post Date:
Today
is 4-14-20. It is the end of our second 76-day cleansing cycle for this coming
Prophetic Year. It appears that these cleansing cycles had much to do with (1)
the coronavirus and (2) the economic system (shutdown).
The
midpoint of the two cycles fell on January 29, 2020, when President Trump
signed the final USMC Trade Agreement and also banned travel to and from China
as the first step toward preventing the coronavirus from coming here.
Unfortunately, on January 15 the first (known) coronavirus carrier had already
arrived in America from China. If I recall, he landed in Seattle, and shortly
afterward there were cases of coronavirus and deaths in a nearby nursing home.
As
usual, these dates (start, midpoint, end) are pattern setters for what should
culminate at the end of the Prophetic Year (8th day of Tabernacles).
It
also may be significant that today is 4-14, because that seems to suggest that
Cursed Time has something to do with it. It is likely that we should look at
this from a chronological standpoint, in that 4-14 we reached the END of a
Cursed Time cycle. Normally, a 76-day cycle is tacked on to a 414-day cycle to
reach Blessed Time (490), and since 4-14 is indeed the end of a 76-day cycle
this year, we should view this as the end of Cursed Time, not its start.
Of
course, when God blesses us by great changes at the end of an era, the changes
may be perceived as “curses,” when in fact God is answering prayer to set us
free. It will be interesting to see what transpires during the rest of April,
especially April 19 and 21.
Empty
Hospitals
Last
month the hospitals across the country were shut down and “non-essential”
surgeries were cancelled. My wife was one of the last to get hip surgery (March
16) in Minneapolis. The hospital shut down the next day. The rationale was to
make room for millions of coronavirus patients that were expected in the weeks
and months to come.
However,
the millions of patients never materialized, leaving hospitals nearly empty.
Doctors and nurses found themselves out of work. Even all the makeshift
hospitals being built by the Army Corps of Engineers have been nearly empty. One
of the first to be built (Washington State) was finally shut down, not having
housed a single coronavirus patient.
In
order to justify all this fearmongering, and in order to get more financial aid
from the federal government, those in high management positions have been
instructing doctors and nurses to falsify their records. Every death is
recorded as having been caused by coronavirus unless proven to be otherwise.
Worse
yet, doctors and nurses are prohibited BY LAW from telling anyone that they are
doing this. Listen to what this nurse has to say.
So
while the coronavirus is real, it is not as widespread as we are led to
believe. The statistics are being inflated deliberately for some unknown
agenda. The question is, “who benefits” from this deception? Secondly, there is
a “silent war” going on within our own government, each with a different
agenda. Both sides are using the coronavirus to further its own cause, for
better or for worse. The origin of the virus hardly matters anymore; the
immediate problem is how to cope with life during this silent war.
What
to Expect
The
coronavirus itself is less of a problem than the economic impact of the “cure”
and the possible vaccine tyranny coming from Bill Gates of Hell. I do not think
that side of the war has even the smallest chance of winning, but the threat is
real, nonetheless.
Those
who think the book of Revelation has yet to be fulfilled are the ones who are
filled with fear. Those of us who see that the book of Revelation has been
fulfilled over the past 2,000 years and that we are now seeing the collapse of
Mystery Babylon have reason to rejoice, knowing that Babylon is falling, not
rising.
But
meanwhile, with the lockdowns in California and Florida, a lot of fruit, nuts,
and vegetables are unable to be harvested. With restaurants closed, farms are
not sending food to them. The result is that there could be some food shortages
in the near future. I do not know if farmers are going to be able to plant
crops this Spring, but even if all goes well, the crops will take months to
ripen. America still has a lot of food to feed its own population, so I think
the biggest problem will be that less will be exported to countries that need
food.
Meanwhile,
the Mideast and parts of Africa are experiencing new rounds of locust swarms,
which are likely to cause huge food shortages in those areas. Where will they
buy food (if they have money to pay for it)? The world food supply is sure to
become a problem this year. It would be wise for everyone to have some food
stored in case of shortages later this year.
With
all of the government’s “helicopter money” being thrown to everyone they can think
of, I do not think that we will have a shortage of money overall. Individually
speaking, of course, many will run short, especially if they are out of work.
With 17 million new people now collecting unemployment insurance, the
unemployment rate could hit 20 percent very quickly. But the government is
spending trillions of dollars to try to make up for the economic collapse.
It
will be interesting to see if they can keep up with the need that was brought
about by shutting down the economy. Hopefully, the Democrat’s plan to keep us
locked down until November will fail. If they were able to keep us all
prisoners in our homes throughout the summer, the damage would be irreparable.
They have a vested interest in inflating the coronavirus statistics in order to
prolong the shutdown, hoping to then blame Trump for the economic disaster. But
the Democrats, even with the fakestream media on their side, do not hold the
reins of power, so I believe they will fail.
What
we will need to monitor is the amount of new money being created in relation to
the shortage of good being produced on account of the shutdown. When everyone
has money to spend but the shelves are bare, that is a recipe for
hyper-inflation. Desperate people are willing to pay more for the things they need,
resulting in rising prices.
It
is quite possible that the shutdown will conclude by the end of April. Trump
has to be careful about ending it, however, because no matter when he ends it,
he will be blamed for every coronavirus death (real or imagined) that occurs
after he ends the shutdown. For political reasons, the Democrats will look for
ways to blame him, just as they have already been doing.
When
Trump shut down international travel with China in late January, the Democrats
chastised him for being “racist.” Later, they blamed him for not acting sooner,
knowing that most of the people would not remember that Trump had been
criticized for acting too soon just a few weeks ago. That is the nature of
politics. It relies heavily on the short memories of the people.
Silver
and Gold
From
a prophetic standpoint, I have believed for more than a decade that when the
price of silver passed $50/oz, it will mark the moment when the arms of silver
overthrow the head of gold (Daniel 2). That is why I began to study and monitor
gold and silver prices. These are signs of the times. The number 50 is a sign
of the Jubilee.
The
COMEX defaulted on its gold contracts in late March, but they were able to hide
it by changing the rules. Now in late April it is likely that they will default
on their silver contracts as well. With Mexico and Peru shutting down their
silver mines, 45 percent of world silver production is gone, at least
temporarily. No one can buy large quantities of silver right now, even if they
have the money.
Of
course, if the price were to rise, someone might be willing to sell what they
have. But the government continues to manipulate and suppress the price of both
gold and silver. So the result is that there is simply no gold or silver to
buy, because no one is willing to sell their physical supply. Not at these
suppressed prices. Perhaps the government is hoping that with the shutdown,
many will run short of cash and be forced to sell at these low prices. It’s
hard to say.
Meanwhile,
the price of physical silver is being decoupled from the speculative “spot
price” of paper contracts. When the spot price goes down, the premiums on
physical silver go up to make up for those ridiculously low prices. Right now,
most silver dealers are asking for a 60 percent premium over and above the spot
price. If the spot price went down to zero, it would hardly affect the real
price of physical silver.
So
chemical companies that need silver for industry will still find it hard to buy
physical silver and certainly won’t be able to get it at the spot price. The
spot price is becoming irrelevant, all because the government (and big banks)
have manipulated the prices to unrealistic lows—even driving the price down
below the cost of mining and production.
In
March the government ran out of silver for its 1-ounce silver eagles. By law
they are supposed to mint an adequate supply to meet demand, regardless of what
it costs them to purchase the silver. But they do not care about the law when
it gets in the way of their agenda. Even so, public pressure may soon force
them to change their policy and allow a dramatic rise in price, much like what
happened in 2011, when silver reached $49.84/oz. At the time, it looked like
the fall of Babylon was near, but the silver price remained just under $50/oz.
I
suspect we are now approaching a new release, where it will go over $50/oz.
