00:01 An economic earthquake is coming,
00:03 and John Carter has the facts to prove it. 00:06 Will America's deficit 00:07 bring about the collapse of the present world order? 00:11 What happened in the ill-fated Weimar Republic? 00:14 And how does that affect us? 00:16 Does Bible prophecy reveal our future? 00:20 Now, here is John Carter 00:22 with the answers. 00:28 Today, we're talking about 00:29 the coming financial earthquake. 00:32 I'm sure, you all have heard the statement. 00:36 It's almost impossible 00:39 to get someone to see an idea or truth 00:43 when his salary depends upon him not seeing it. 00:47 Is this true? Is it not? 00:50 It's almost impossible to get someone to see an idea 00:53 or to see something or a truth 00:57 when his salary, 01:00 his income depends upon him not seeing it. 01:05 And, of course, correct English is 01:08 depends upon his not seeing it. 01:10 But who cares? 01:13 And that is a great truth. 01:14 The topic today is prophecy 01:18 and the coming economic earthquake. 01:22 I want to tell you today at the start of the story, 01:24 the almost forgotten story 01:27 of the Weimar Republic. 01:31 The war that was going to end all wars, what war was that? 01:35 First Word War 1914 to 1918. 01:39 During that war, 01:41 you had Germany, Hungary, Austria, 01:44 and Turkey against France, 01:47 Great Britain, Russia, Italy, and Japan. 01:51 And then America joined the battle sometime in 1917, 01:57 and it hope to bring the war to an end. 02:00 But not before tens of millions 02:04 of people had been butchered. 02:08 Not thousands, not hundreds of thousands, 02:11 but tens of millions that was the war 02:16 that they said was going to end all wars. 02:21 How sad that it didn't happen this way. 02:24 Germany was eventually defeated, 02:28 but Germany had borrowed heavily 02:31 to pay the bills for running the war. 02:34 And now they were forced to pay tremendous payments 02:39 to the allies. 02:40 Most of these payments were quite unjustified. 02:46 And so the Germans in their desperation, 02:49 they continued to borrow heavily, 02:54 and they just let the printing presses run 02:58 so they printed money. 03:01 Now, I'm going to put up here little graph 03:04 that shows you about the Weimar Republic. 03:07 The Weimar Republic set up by the Germans ran 03:11 from 1919 after the First Word War 03:15 until 1933, 03:18 they borrowed heavily and printed money. 03:23 Of course, none of us would be so dumb 03:27 as to do that today, would we now? 03:32 No, of course, not. 03:34 Now, here is a man going 03:37 to buy a loaf of bread. 03:41 That's what he had to do in the morning, 03:43 but if he went in the evening, 03:46 he would have to take a truckload. 03:49 Notice over here, 03:51 Weimar Republic starts in 1919... 03:54 Oh, did you see it? 03:57 And by 1923, 04:01 it's a trillion marks to the dollar. 04:06 And that was not the end 04:07 because during the year of 1923, 04:11 you have 4,210,500,000,000 04:18 marks to the dollar. 04:22 People did some amazing things, for instance, 04:26 if you had dinner at 8 o'clock at night, 04:29 you would delay paying the bill 04:30 for as long as you could. 04:33 So if you talked from 8 o'clock to 11 o'clock, 04:36 and then you paid the bill, 04:39 the bill was about half, what it was 04:42 if you'd paid it an hour earlier. 04:44 And so, 04:47 it got completely out of control. 04:49 People used to get the marks bill 04:52 that used to be something so solid, it was like gold, 04:56 and they would wallpaper their homes with marks, 05:02 these notes from the German government. 05:07 I want you to think about what happened. 05:10 There was a man 05:12 who was tremendously disgruntled 05:15 by the reparations forced 05:17 upon his country by Great Britain, 05:21 France, and America. 05:23 His name was Adolf. 05:27 He watched, waited, and made his move. 05:32 And the end result was the Second World War, 05:37 and the murder of millions and millions of Jews 05:42 and the deaths of tens of millions. 05:46 This was because 05:50 of the terrible inflation, 05:53 and the policy that was followed 05:55 by the Weimar Republic of just borrowing, 06:00 and printing money, and running up deficits. 06:06 Now there are no people in the world 06:08 who are more sophisticated 06:11 and were more sophisticated than the German people. 06:16 They were called the apostles of culture. 06:21 They gave us art and musicians, 06:26 and yet, this is the fact 06:28 that people don't like to talk about. 06:30 Let me tell it to you because it's the truth. 06:34 On August 1934, 06:38 the Germans voted 90% 06:43 in favor of Adolf Hitler. 06:49 Why did they do this? 06:54 Because of the chaos that it come to society 06:57 by runaway deficits, 07:00 and the collapse of the German mark. 07:04 You see when nations do these things, 07:07 very often they are selling 07:11 their seeds of self-destruction, 07:15 and paving the way 07:18 for the coming of an Adolf Hitler. 07:23 Now, of course, some would say 07:25 that would never happen today, would it? 07:28 Has anybody heard? 07:31 We've all heard of Hitler, 07:32 but what about if we go south of the border, 07:36 and we go down to Venezuela. 07:41 The Miami Herald makes this comment. 07:47 Their inflation rate right now, as I'm talking, 07:52 Miami Herald says the inflation rate is 4,000%. 07:58 And we think it's bad if it's 4%. 08:01 Four thousand percent. 08:03 Miami Herald says, it will soon be 30,000%, 08:08 and most likely by the end of the year 100,000%. 08:13 And what is happening in Venezuela? 08:17 A dictatorship. 08:20 People fighting in the streets, 08:22 the soldiers out on the street with machine guns. 08:30 So history tells us, it's happened before. 08:35 But remember, 08:37 90% of the Germans, the most educated, 08:39 the most sophisticated, 08:41 90% of the Germans voted 08:43 in favor of the Fuhrer. 08:49 Now, this teaches us a number of lessons, 08:52 it teaches us the necessity to think for ourselves. 08:58 The great Moses said, 09:00 "You shall not follow 09:01 a multitude to do evil." 09:06 And there is a theme 09:07 that I have in all of my meetings, 09:10 and it is not a populous theme, 09:12 it is this we need to think for ourselves. 09:17 We should not allow politicians to think for us. 09:22 And we should not allow religious hierarchies 09:26 to think for us. 09:28 If we do, one day, 09:30 we will become victims of Revelation 13 09:33 that talks about the mark of the beast, you see? 09:39 And the mark of the beast is conformity 09:44 to the multitude that is set on doing evil. 09:50 Now, the word of prophecy. 09:52 Would you come with me please 09:53 to the Book of Daniel 12:1 09:57 to the word of prophecy. 09:59 Daniel 12:1, 10:04 my friends. 10:05 And I'm reading it from the Bible. 10:09 "At that time Michael shall stand up, 10:13 the great prince who stands watch over 10:17 the sons of your people. 10:20 And there shall be a time of trouble, 10:23 such as never was since there was a nation 10:27 even to that same time. 10:29 And at that time your people shall be delivered, 10:34 every one who is found written in the book." 10:38 Listen to me, 10:40 the Bible teaches that before the end, 10:44 there comes a time of trouble 10:48 unlike any other time of trouble 10:50 that has befallen the sons of men. 10:53 So the Bible says, get this in your mind, 10:56 that before the end of time 10:59 there comes upon the world tremendous time of trouble. 11:05 But God will deliver His people, the Bible says. 11:08 Now, I want you to come over here 11:10 to Matthew 24 to the words of Jesus Christ. 11:15 Matthew 24:21. 11:22 Bible says, 11:23 "For then there will be great tribulation, 11:26 such as has not been 11:28 since the beginning of the world 11:30 until this time, nor ever shall be." 11:34 So Jesus takes the words of Daniel, 11:37 and He puts them into a New Testament setting. 11:42 And then if you come to verse 24 11:44 of the same chapter it says, 11:47 "For false christs 11:50 and false prophets will rise 11:53 and show great signs and wonders to deceive, 11:57 if possible, even the elect." 12:03 Listen to me, 12:06 the Bible says that this great time of trouble 12:12 that comes upon the human race 12:17 is so overwhelming in its 12:21 passionate intensity to deceive if it were possible, 12:27 even the very elect. 12:30 And the term the very elect refers 12:34 to those people 12:35 who had been elected by God for salvation, 12:40 they are the followers of the Christ. 12:43 Now here I go against 12:44 the stream 12:46 of eschatological prediction. 12:50 It is believed 12:52 by the vast majority of people... 12:56 Christians, at least, 12:57 in North America, nowhere else. 12:59 But in North America 13:01 that the church is ruptured home to glory, 13:06 and doesn't go 13:07 through this great time of trouble. 13:10 When I say, I say with difference 13:13 and apology to my Christian evangelical friends. 13:18 I do not wish to offend you, we will still be friends. 13:23 But the Bible teaches that this great time of trouble 13:28 comes upon the world, and it comes upon the elect. 13:34 Now I cannot tell you when this is going to happen. 13:38 But Jesus said, 13:39 "I'm going to give you signs so that you will know 13:42 that it is near even at the very door." 13:46 Jesus said, "Of that day and hour no man knows." 13:50 But you will know 13:51 when it is near even at the very door. 13:55 Now the prophecy of Daniel 12 and Matthew 24 14:00 was fulfilled in 70 AD 14:04 in the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans. 14:09 I wish that you would go and read 14:11 the Jewish historian Josephus. 14:16 And read his book on this, 14:19 it's like reading our own day and our own age. 14:24 The city of Jerusalem was surrounded 14:27 by the Roman armies, 14:29 and inside the city of Jerusalem 14:31 there was famine, and pestilence, 14:35 and every other abominable crime 14:38 that you and I can imagine and even not imagine. 14:43 And so there was this 14:44 complete collapse of society. 14:48 And this was a time of trouble such as they had never known. 14:53 But the Bible teaches, 14:55 this is a type of the final tribulation 15:00 that comes upon the world 15:02 and also that is experienced 15:04 by the elect. 15:09 Now, I suggest to you 15:14 a collapse of the monetary markets 15:18 could be a part of the dissolution of society 15:23 and the collapse of everything that we hold here. 15:26 I want you to notice this, 15:28 and this is somewhat astounding. 15:32 I'm amazed today 15:33 that the politicians are talking 15:35 about everything and lots of trivia, 15:39 and the politicians today are strangely silent 15:42 upon the greatest challenge in the history 15:46 of the United States of America, 15:47 and this is our debt. 15:51 This is the largest debt, I'd tell you, 15:55 it is the greatest debt in the history of the world. 16:00 You say, "No, it can't be so." 16:02 It is true, it is the greatest debt 16:05 in the history of the human race. 16:07 And you notice where it starts? 16:11 And it starts to get steeper, and steeper, and steeper, 16:16 and as I'm speaking now, 16:18 it is at $20,000 billion. 16:23 Who can comprehend it? 16:25 $20,000 billion 16:29 and in the next few years, 16:32 most economists say it is going 16:34 to top $26 trillion 16:38 and there seems to be no effort to rein it in. 16:46 Now, I've been told 16:48 by some authorities, my friends, 16:50 that this is simply the tip of the iceberg. 16:55 This does not... 16:56 This is a concealed debt, 16:59 and it does not take into consideration 17:02 all the other debts that are held by the states 17:07 and other departments of the government. 17:10 Some say, and these people, our authorities, 17:15 they say, that the real debt 17:18 is probably more like 17:20 $60,000 billion 17:25 or $60 trillion 17:27 which, in fact, is more than all the money in the world. 17:38 I wonder, if the politicians today 17:42 in Washington, 17:44 who hold the fate of millions in their hands, 17:47 I wonder if they've ever heard 17:50 of the Weimar Republic. 17:54 "Weimar Republic, where is that?" 17:58 Well, it doesn't exist anymore. 18:01 It was taken over by Adolf Hitler. 18:05 And he led us into the Second World War 18:07 and the deaths of tens of millions. 18:11 And here we have today, 18:15 the hands of the atomic clock. 18:18 Now these are the scientists 18:20 who know what is going on in the world. 18:24 And just recently, 18:25 they moved their hands of the atomic clock 18:29 at two minutes to midnight. 18:36 Is anybody listening? 18:38 Does anybody believe the prophecies of the Bible? 18:43 You see, it could be 18:46 that we are entering the time of trouble 18:49 with the collapse of society 18:51 because if the nation collapses financially 18:56 so will the world. 18:59 The collapse of society, 19:02 the imposition of military law, 19:05 rioting in the streets, the end of the dollar, 19:11 the end of the banks, mass starvation, 19:14 and the rule of a worldwide dictatorship. 19:19 When people have read the prophecy of Revelation 13, 19:23 many have scorned and they have laughed 19:26 because the Bible teaches that in the very last days, 19:29 there arises a religious dictator 19:35 who takes hold of the power of the state 19:38 and imposes his will upon the world. 19:43 It is called the mark of the beast in scripture. 19:47 I would suggest you today 19:49 that the stage has been set. 19:53 And that we are seeing 19:54 what could very well be the final scenario. 19:59 Now when you think of the atomic clock 20:02 at two minutes to midnight, then you must be aware of... 20:06 You should be aware of Mr. Putin's speech. 20:11 You may not like Mr. Putin, 20:13 but he is a very, very clever man, 20:17 he's an old KGB chief. 20:21 I know a great deal about these things 20:23 because I've been to Putin's Russia 49 times. 20:29 My friend Boris Nemtsov was gunned down 20:33 just outside the Kremlin. 20:35 They said he was Russia's last hope 20:37 for democracy, 20:39 but Putin today, who is not a foolish man by any means, 20:44 he is not a dumb politician, his mind is sharp as a razor, 20:49 a high IQ, and about 80% of the Russians think 20:54 he is God's gift 20:57 because he has transformed 20:59 all of Russia into a mighty power again. 21:04 And he talks about 21:06 the making of weapons of mass destruction 21:10 that we have no answer to. 21:14 Whether that is so or not, I'm not qualified to say. 21:19 But I'm qualified to say this, 21:23 that the hands of the atomic clock 21:26 because of the rising power 21:29 of Russia, and China, 21:32 and North Korea, 21:35 their boats have taken already, send rockets to America. 21:40 "You will listen to me now," said Putin. 21:43 "You haven't been listening to me, have you?" 21:45 He said, "But you will listen to me now." 21:51 And if you listen carefully, 21:55 you will hear tick-tock, 22:01 tick-tock, tick-tock. 22:06 I feel so strongly about this 22:08 that we've put out a newsletter, 22:10 we have a newsletter every month. 22:12 This one is on the subject. 22:14 Have a look at it, 22:15 "The coming economic earthquake," 22:18 it's got facts about the Weimar Republic. 22:21 You folks in the studio when you leave today, 22:24 you'll get a copy, 22:25 those of you watching on television 22:27 if you write to me, 22:29 if you want to know the truth about these things, 22:31 if there is something that is stirring deep down 22:34 inside you today, 22:36 then please write to me at the address on the screen. 22:40 And we will send you a copy of our newsletter 22:45 on the coming economic collapse 22:49 and the facts also 22:51 on the Weimar Republic. 22:55 And so, I just want you folks to realize 23:01 that the words of Jesus are coming to pass. 23:07 I have great confidence in the words of scripture. 23:12 Once upon a time theologians and politicians caught up 23:16 with the ideas of the theory of inevitable progress 23:22 that was borne by Charles Darwin, 23:25 ever heard of him? 23:27 The brilliant Englishman. 23:28 Inevitable progress, things are going to get better, 23:33 and better, and we will have 23:35 a wonderful new age. 23:39 The Bible says, 23:40 "Time of trouble such as never was." 23:43 And here in this great land 23:47 of America, 23:50 the clock is ticking. 23:55 And the question comes home 23:57 to the inquiring mind. 24:03 In the name of God, what shall we do? 24:08 In the name of God, what shall we do? 24:11 The politicians are impotent. 24:15 Oh, you say, "No, no, no, no, no. 24:17 No, no, no, you misunderstand it." 24:19 Hey, I can count, 24:23 I can see, and I can read. 24:27 So the question comes home, 24:31 here I am, what shall we do? 24:36 I have a number of great truths I'm going to share with you, 24:40 what shall we do? 24:42 And here is the first question, have faith in God, 24:46 He is still on His throne. 24:48 And I'm going to give you two texts out of the Bible, 24:50 Psalm 46:1, 2. 24:53 Psalm 46, "God is our refuge and strength, 24:57 a very present help in trouble. 24:59 Therefore we will not fear, 25:00 even though the earth be removed, 25:03 and though the mountains be carried 25:04 into the midst of the sea." 25:06 We will not fear 25:08 because God is on His throne. 25:11 It doesn't matter who is in the White House, 25:14 God is on His throne. 25:16 Now notice verse 2 of the same chapter. 25:20 No, no, verse 6 and 7. 25:22 "The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved, 25:25 He uttered His voice, the earth melted. 25:28 The Lord of hosts is with us. 25:32 The God of Jacob is our refuge." 25:34 Now let me tell you, folks, something. 25:38 I believe 25:41 that the world is facing 25:44 the greatest crisis in the history 25:48 of the human race. 25:49 I believe on the whole the politicians 25:54 and the preachers are asleep, 25:58 but there is our way of escape. 26:02 And I'm going to talk about this 26:04 when I come back, 26:06 more amazing truths, just moments away. 26:09 Good job. 26:24 The Word began in a village. 26:28 Churches and schools sprang up and multiplied 26:32 reaching into the city. 26:36 Great truths revealed to the people 26:38 of Papua New Guinea, 26:40 changing thousands of lives. 26:44 Our eyes are going to be opened 26:47 to the discovery of amazing truths. 26:50 The greatest truths in the Bible, 26:52 it is the truth that God loves you. 26:56 It has completed changed my life, 26:58 and I'm going to be baptized this Sabbath. 27:00 Pastor Carter has put something in my heart 27:03 that I will never forget. 27:04 Thank you, Pastor Carter for your program, 27:06 it has changed my life completely. 27:08 John Carter's Great Truths Revealed 27:10 was recorded live from Papua New Guinea. 27:13 Experience the miracles in this 21-DVD series 27:16 for a gift of a $150 US or $210 Australian. 27:20 To order, visit our website or call. 27:31 This is my 43rd visit... 27:37 To preach the everlasting gospel 27:40 of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27:52 And they had smoke bombs, and they had fire bombs, 27:55 and the Russia army had to take me to the meetings. 28:01 I come here, my friend, because of the need. 28:04 These were days of grace, 28:07 and glory, and mighty power. 28:10 For a donation of $100 or more, 28:13 a signed copy of the John Carter biography 28:15 can be yours by writing to us 28:17 at the address on the screen or visit our website. 28:28 For a copy of today's program, 28:30 please contact us at P.O.
