OPINION, Oct. 17 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following commentary is submitted by Reverend Bill Keller, Founder of Liveprayer.com:
Grab your history books, and dust off your bible. If you've been following the economic crisis Americans are currently wallowing in, you'll likely remember from history class that this has all happened before. You may even recall the solution Germany embraced for its economic disaster: Adolf Hitler.
The famous orator, politician, soldier, and artist, Winston Churchill said those who "fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it." Well, here we are folks, apparently doomed to make the same mistakes that countries such as Great Britain and Japan have made before. Sadly, the nation's recent blundering has perfectly positioned the United States to embrace the coming of a global ruler, a.k.a: the anti-Christ... Satan, all dressed up in the garb of anti-capitalism.
In the past year, the Dow Jones has seen a forty percent decline, resulting in an $8 trillion dollar loss. The current economic meltdown is affecting the lives of tens of millions of Americans. I contend that God is using the economy to judge this nation for its sins...and now America is being insidiously led down the path to a twisted version of Socialism peppered with Communism, one that few Americans can even fathom.
On May 2, 2008, I told the 2.4 million daily devotional subscribers to my website, www.liveprayer.com, that God would use the economy as a form of judgment on the nation for its sins. And God did just that (video ref:

The Book of Revelation speaks of how during the last days we'll experience a one-world government, a one-world economic system, ushering in the rule and the reign for a short period of time the anti-Christ. If there's one lesson we've learned throughout the economic chaos of the last few weeks, it is how incredibly connected, how intertwined the economies of the world are.
What has happened in Europe and Asia, and now the United States, has been a quick fix to save economies in crisis. In the United States, with hundreds of billions of government dollars going to bail out huge corporations, our government has basically taken over the banking system, nationalizing the banks so to speak. This is pure Socialism carried out under the pretense that once things get better, the banks will pay the governments back and the governments will dissociate themselves.
But the banks aren't going to be in a position to pay off these loans any time soon, so governments are going to be pretty much controlling the banking system. The longer they do, the harder it will be to get them out. The government is also getting heavily involved in the real estate market, which is exactly how governmental dictatorships work, they run everything. You either work for them, or you're nothing...disposable.
We're aligning ourselves economically with other governments around the world; and we've already got the United Nations, NATO, and other alliances...the next step is to collaborate politically with foreign governments.
No matter how badly we may wish it, there are no man-made solutions to the economic problem because, at its core, the crisis is really a spiritual issue. Sadly, people don't understand that the only answer is to turn back to God and Biblical truths.
Founded on the word of God by people who believed in God, the Bible, and Jesus Christ, the United States, just 232 years old has become a totally humanistic, secular society that rejects God, the Bible, and Christ, and lives in total rebellion to God and his word. Today we legally slaughter over four thousand innocent babies each day, we have made a mockery of God's holy institution of marriage, we worship every idol and false god man has ever created, and we live in total rebellion to God and his truth.
Many will dismiss the notion of God's judgment as the foolish talk of yet another religious kook, however, the Bible does say in 1 Corinthians 2:14, "But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
The fact is, all of humankind's wisdom has been unable to resolve this economic crisis because the answer isn't a natural one...it is a spiritual one. Unless this nation gets on its face before God, asks his forgiveness, and turns from its sins, I'm afraid that the United States has only just begun to experience what it will be like to live in a new world order, embracing a global ruler who will surely usher in the end of days.
Wake-up America and repent...the barbarian of evil is knocking at our door.
