Three Mountains (3) - Goverenment Collapse

Governments are collapsing under the pressure of impossible promises. This is why restoring our societies from the bottom up is so important.

Modern Governments have been making impossible promises that cannot be delivered.

• Full employment
• Health care
• Pensions
• Casting out demons.

Massive sovereign debt is a sign that this mountain is getting shaky.

Furthermore, the Government Mountain has left us with serious problems that make any situation worse.

• Controlled interest rates
• Manipulated money system
• Flawed banking system.

These problems have added to the instability

The rise and fall of nations is inevitable. Deuteronomy 28 speaks of curses and blessings on rebellion and obedience. The modern monetary system exaggerates the effects of any curses.

The collapse of the government mountain will cause huge economic pain.

Economic collapse will not be universal. Some countries will sink but others will continue to grow.

Some commentators are saying that that the United States is finished; that the dollar will collapse and die. The situations is not that simple. Some local and state governments will collapse. The federal government will corrode, not collapse. It will continue to grow and become more powerful. Like the Roman Empire in its later stages, it will demand more and more tax to fund its military adventures, but give very little back to local communities. America will eventually become the greatest empire the world has ever know, and not necessarily for good. When it does eventually collapse, as all empires do, it will cause enormous economic pain.

Government is not the key to the Kingdom. As kingdom expands, government authority will be fractured apart and pushed down to ordinary people.

We must learn how to handle this authority God’s way.
