Sie vun verld ordah and its iron yoke cometh and is nigh ready .
The one world order . The digital CHAIN cometh and unto all who are loyal
they will continue to buy and to sell . The dragon has piped his song
to his well beloved Harlot and she has sang it unto the world and all her religoins .
And sadly A WHOLE HEAP of even christendom is now dancing to the song of a harlots love that
will be to their own destruction on the GREAT and MIGHTY DAY OF GOD ALL MIGHTY and THE LAMB .
So might i continue to advise us all , GO NO WHERE NEAR any ecumenicism interfaith .
For its all coming DOWN on THE DAY OF THE LORD . a
The Whore of Babylon isn’t just the global financial system built on the dollar. It’s not just the IMF. It’s not just the offshore havens, the offshore oligarchs, and the offshore “citizens of the world” with their offshore accounts and passports who live in Monaco today, Florida tomorrow, and Dubai the day after. It’s not just the transnational corporations and transnational capital that keep assets scattered across the planet.

It’s not just the international “free” labor market where those same corporations hire workers in whichever country they’re cheapest, which is why we see millions of migrant workers imported—people who, in practice, have almost no rights, who’ll work for wages below the legal minimum, 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, and live in barracks, in overcrowded “rubber apartments,” or in dorms where two guys share one bunk. And as a direct result, this so-called international labor market undercuts the local one, forcing native citizens to work longer hours for less money in brutal competition.

It’s not just the consumers who always buy whatever’s cheapest and most heavily discounted, no matter where it comes from, instead of supporting local producers. It’s not just the transnational online marketplaces—AliExpress, Amazon, iHerb, eBay, and the rest.

It’s not just the transnational speculative casino of currencies, stocks, bonds… In other words, it’s not just the global exchanges: NYSE, NASDAQ, Euronext, Shanghai, Tokyo…

It’s not just Hollywood, Netflix, HBO, Amazon, Apple… and the whole international entertainment industry.

It’s not just the U.S. government, which serves the Whore of Babylon and essentially acts as its bodyguard and pimp, protecting transnational capital and the dollar-based financial system—ready, like any prostitute, to service whoever pays the best.

Sure, New York—and Wall Street in particular—embodies all of this more than anywhere else. But even taken together, the things listed above don’t fully capture her. The Whore of Babylon is the sum of everything I just described… and more. At its core, it’s the spirit of prostitution itself.

In response to the OP:

It would be great if you talked about how we need to pray for this issue?

I for one, am grateful for what I have got and have told God so.
@Gottservant and everyone else who keeps making it personal

That’s exactly the problem.

You Westerners are incapable of thinking beyond the individual.
For you the whole universe ends at “I’m personally okay, so thank you Jesus.”

The topic was never “how do I personally feel today.”
The topic is society-level extinction.

From the point of view of one single person:
“No kids → no problem → no expenses, more Netflix, more vacations, praise God!”

From the point of view of society:
When 80–90 % of the population chooses that option, in one generation there is no one left to pay pensions, staff hospitals, defend the country, or even keep the electricity running.

That’s not a personal spiritual problem.
That’s the literal death of Western civilisation.

And yes — it is also the death of capitalism, because capitalism without an ever-growing pool of new workers, new debtors, and new consumers collapses in exactly collapses in an instant.

BEHOLD, THE GREAT HARLOT OF REVELATION hath revealed her true name in this final hour:
TRANSNATIONAL FINANCE CAPITAL, the insatiable 1 % that sitteth upon the scarlet-coloured beast with seven offshore heads and ten hedge-fund horns!

From her golden cup floweth the wine of fornication:
- eternal debt-slavery,
- mortgage chains that bind three generations,
- usury more cruel than Pharaoh’s taskmasters,
- interest-rate nooses that strangle the breath out of the working man,
- student loans that devour the youth before they have tasted life.

She is “the international money-power” — rootless, borderless, blood-sucking oligarchy that turneth nations into plantations and peoples into cattle.

She hath made the merchants of the earth rich — BlackRock, Vanguard, Rothschild, Soros, and all the princes of the stock-exchange synagogue of Satan — while the wages of the labourer are withheld by fraud and his children are aborted in the womb for fear of poverty.

She saith in her heart, “I sit a queen, I shall see no sorrow,”

Thus saith the Lord by His prophets:
“Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place!” (Isaiah 5:8)

COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE!

For the Lamb that was slain hath prevailed to open the scroll,
and He shall cast the great whore and her beast into the lake of fire,
and every usurer, every speculator, every transnational vampire shall wail when Babylon the Great falleth in one hour.

EVEN SO, COME, LORD JESUS!
MARANATHA!

BEHOLD, I will show thee the most dangerous creature now walking the earth, feared by EVERY harlot-loving church, by every prosperity preacher, by every “Christian” billionaire and their hired shepherds!

It is the man with an open Bible who dares call the Great Whore by her true name: TRANSNATIONAL CAPITALISM, and who will not bow, will not bless her cup, will not sprinkle holy water on her usury, her debt-chains, her child-devouring mortgages, her wage-theft, her turning of the earth into a giant plantation for the 1 %.

This man is hated because he strippeth the mask from the false prophets who preach “peace and prosperity” while the Whore drinketh the blood of the saints and the tears of the fatherless.

Yea, the lukewarm churches cry “Hater! Divisive! Legalist!”
when he openeth James 5 and readeth aloud:
“Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl… ye have heaped treasure together for the last days… ye have condemned and killed the just…”

They cast him out of their megachurches,
they silence him on their platforms,
they label him “Marxist” or “bitter”
because he will not consecrate the golden calf of compound interest with verses torn out of context.

But the day cometh, yea, it is even at the door,
when the kings of the earth and the merchants of Babylon shall decree with one voice:
“CONFORM TO THE WHORE OR DIE!”

And they that blessed her mortgages,
they that baptised her stock portfolios,
they that preached “seed faith” into her offshore accounts,
they shall drink the wine of the wrath of God poured out without mixture.

But the remnant that refused her cup,
that would not anoint her usury with “God wants you rich,”
they shall stand with the Lamb on Mount Zion,
and their voice shall thunder:
“Babylon the Great is fallen, is fallen!”

REPENT, ye shepherds for hire!
REPENT, ye televangelists in private jets!
REPENT, ye who twisted the Scriptures to justify the Great Whore and her merchants!

THE AXE IS LAID UNTO THE ROOT.
COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE!
EVEN SO, COME QUICKLY, LORD JESUS!

@Gottservant and everyone else who keeps making it personal

That’s exactly the problem.

You Westerners are incapable of thinking beyond the individual.
For you the whole universe ends at “I’m personally okay, so thank you Jesus.”
We "Westerners"? As if ALL people who live West think alike, even though many of them came from different parts of the world?
The topic was never “how do I personally feel today.”
The topic is society-level extinction.
It's a shame that you really believe that.

Didn't God pretty much wipe out everyone on the planet except for Noah and HIS family?

Did you ever think that what's going on is PART of God's plan?
From the point of view of one single person:
“No kids → no problem → no expenses, more Netflix, more vacations, praise God!”

From the point of view of society:
When 80–90 % of the population chooses that option, in one generation there is no one left to pay pensions, staff hospitals, defend the country, or even keep the electricity running.
80-90% of the people will NOT choose that option. I think you're catastrophizing.
That’s not a personal spiritual problem.
That’s the literal death of Western civilisation.
Actually, it IS a personal spiritual problem.

It's not a money problem or a childbirth problem or a capitalism problem or a communist/socialist problem, yadda, yadda, yadda.

It's a problem within individuals. Greed, Lying, Selfishness, Hate, Adultery, Superiority and especially PRIDE (a.k.a. Ego). You know...every VICE the Bible warns us about.
And yes — it is also the death of capitalism, because capitalism without an ever-growing pool of new workers, new debtors, and new consumers collapses in exactly collapses in an instant.
...and when capitalism collapses, other systems will collapse along with them.

You mean post #172?
I read it and already replied in #186.

I still don’t get it:
If you’re not having your own kids (US TFR 1.6) and you refuse to bring in migrants to replace the shrinking population, then where exactly do you plan to get the next generation of Americans from?
Jesus is coming soon ... a few years away ... get it?

You’re screaming “Macron is a satanic communist!” and “the whole West is becoming communist!” while simultaneously claiming Soros (a billionaire currency speculator) is secretly funding Nazis in Ukraine.

Pick one lane, brother.

Either:
- the world is being taken over by communists who hate private property and billionaires, or
- the world is run by billionaire capitalists and their private-equity empires who own everything in sight.

It literally cannot be both.

Reality check:
The same Western system that gave us Macron, Soros, BlackRock, Vanguard, and $400,000 average home prices in France is the exact same hyper-capitalist system that made children unaffordable and fertility collapse to 1.3–1.6 across the entire West.

That system is not “communist.”
It’s end-stage, winner-take-all, transnational capitalism/neofeudalism that has already turned 99 % of Zoomers into lifelong renters for a handful of corporate landlords.

Calling that “communism” or “satanic socialism” is the funniest cope I’ve heard all week.
I do not think that you have the brain power to work out that their are wheels within wheels = corruption working and hiding within anything in fact, or can you not fathom that their are such workings ! like some criminal can noit be playing 2 sided or all !

I had a mate who's dad is Danish and my mum is Danish, so mate was talking about WW2 and what he would of done ! I pointed out that yes such as he may of become a Hero ! but I would have regard for my fellow people in fact and never ever would I do what he claimed he would do ! as what was peddling, He would sell out his own Towns people for a gutless act that would get children killed and women, like tossing them to the wind !
So he would gladly pop out of nowhere and open fire and then just disapear !
So I said, Hero ! what do you think will happen to the by standing Danish people ?
They would of all been gunned down, you stupid idiot moronic fool ! and then they would grab other people and have them shot ! some tortured before hand and then shot, so as to make a example of them, if anyone should want to be a Hero !

So nowadays we hear of Hero's ? who are not Hero's at all in fact but retarded butchers !
What was clearly a Hero in days gone by is not clearly understood as to why and what is truly a Hero in fact !
Not to mention other words that have been bastardised in fact, like it's the lower end of town that is on display as in dominating the roost ! they know bugger all for they are full of ignorance. all of the dipsticks mouthing off and backing up the whore Media ! bagging all who are above them, typical Socialist who have a masive inferiority complex ! who bag our SAS because of what the media whore claim ! but all who bad mouted our SAS could not even make the grade in fact for a start let alone the discipline !
The Head of the Australian Defence force at the time was a inbreed total jerk ! and clearly just another Gay in the leadership of Clowns. who treat our people in the ADF shockingly, like way out of line stupid jerk would only do.

Such as They hung them out to dry !

The day will come when the people of Ukraine deeds will come under the spotlight as well, lucky you are hiding away Chry ! but you are feeding the Flames for sure and adding to the deaths and a bastardisation that will go on for years with the younger generation who grow up fatherless etc and all that such created ! Good luck for their African and Arab new step father that you inflicted on the next generation buster.
Ukraine has sold it's Soul for the greed of Anti-Christ Dogs because they whored you all out ! your just to stupid to know it yet. The enemy is not Russia in fact ! it's Stupidity ! Stupid is as stupid does ! just remember that. when the day comes and are asked what did you do during the War ? well you are hiding and mouthing off ! Kill kill kill ! like all of the gutless Ukraine Jerks in Australia that came running away.
Oh not all people from Ukraine here are jerks, for they know what is truly going on, I have talked to them.

I say stop the War ! because it's a joke ! and wrong from the start !

You demand War and only War !

There was a time when we were destroying the Ozone Layer; but we managed to stop that in time!

Here’s what you just told me, translated from pious-sounding "Christianese" into plain English:

1. The current system (sky-high housing, wages that don’t allow families, demographic collapse, 1 % owning everything) is deliberately arranged by God for His mysterious purpose.
2. Anyone who tries to fix it with human solutions (better wages, housing policy, anything at all) is actively fighting against God’s plan.
3. The correct Christian response is to shut up, “seek first the kingdom,” pray for the oligarchs and presidents, and calmly wait for God to “add all these things” while everything collapses.
4. My anger at children becoming a luxury is just “serving mammon” and “cares of this world.”
5. Even if my entire family dies in poverty, no big deal — we’re all going to die anyway, and God is “using” our suffering for His glory.
6. So stop “kicking against the goads,” accept the cage, and trust the Sovereign Plan™.

That is not biblical Christianity.
That is textbook spiritual anaesthesia — the same drug that was used for centuries to keep slaves quiet, serfs obedient, and today keeps Christians silent while billionaires and corporations devour the future of the next generation.

You just told a man whose people are literally dying out:
“Don’t you dare fight for your children to have a future — that’s opposing God. Just die silently”

This isn’t “seeking first the kingdom.”
This is Satanism

Real faith moves mountains — it doesn’t tell people to lie down and die quietly under them.

You’re still being a hypocrite.

By your own logic, this entire thread (the demographic collapse, capitalism, everything) is part of God’s sovereign plan.
Yet here you are, writing message after message after message trying to stop me and convince me nothing can or should change.

So pick one:

1. Show the real example: shut up completely, never write another word anywhere, accept everything exactly as it is, and let God’s perfect plan roll on without your interference.
2. Or admit that you’re a hypocrite: you preach total submission and “don’t fight the system,” but the moment someone challenges your comfort you jump in and fight like hell to silence them.

You’re not “helping” me.
I’m the one helping you: helping you finally make your words match your actions, or helping you realise that you’re dead wrong when you say one thing and do the exact opposite.
No, what I did was give you a good reason to change, for the renewing of your mind. Like the kingdom, the solution you seek is within you.

Since you claim to answer “like Jesus did,” let’s see what Jesus actually said about wealth, the rich, and the system that makes children unaffordable:

Jesus Himself
- “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! … It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” (Mark 10:23–25; Matthew 19:24; Luke 18:25)

- “Woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.” (Luke 6:24)

- “You cannot serve God and mammon.” (Matthew 6:24)

- “Sell your possessions and give to the poor… For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Luke 12:33–34)

- The rich man and Lazarus: the rich man feasts while Lazarus starves at his gate → rich man burns in Hades (Luke 16:19–31)

- “No one can serve two masters… You cannot serve God and money.” (Matthew 6:24)

The Apostles
- “Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you… You have laid up treasure in the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you… You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.” (James 5:1–6)

- “Those who desire to be rich fall into temptation… For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.” (1 Timothy 6:9–10)

- “Godliness with contentment is great gain… But those who desire to be rich… pierce themselves with many pangs.” (1 Timothy 6:6–10)

Jesus never once said “the rich are rich because God wants the cream to rise.”
He said the opposite, again and again, in the plainest language possible.

Your “spiritual bigger-picture” excuse is the real dodge here.
The Scriptures you claim to love condemn the system you’re defending in the clearest possible terms.

Stop hiding behind “God’s mysterious plan.”
Jesus already told us what He thinks of the rich and of mammon-worshippers.
And it wasn’t a blessing.
Yes, that is the problem. By prioritizing economic issues, you are serving and worshiping mammon.

You keep trying to turn this entire thread into a personal counselling session about my soul, my attitude, my grievances.
That’s absurd.

This topic was never about “my personal problem.”
Demographic collapse is not an individual psychological issue.

It becomes a problem for everyone the day the capitalist pyramid finally runs out of new bodies and the whole thing crashes.

When transnational corporations have vacuumed up every fiat dollar on earth and there’s no one left to buy their products, pay their debt, or staff their factories, those mountains of unbacked money will become worthless in a single afternoon.

That’s not “my grievance.”
That’s objective mathematics.

So stop psychoanalysing me and stop pretending this is about my personal bitterness.
The crisis is real, measurable, and coming for every single person — including you and your grandchildren.

Dodging behind “take it up with God” doesn’t make the numbers go away.
The problem is within us--within us all individually. This is your thread, revealing what is within you. Why are you so surprised when I merely hold up a mirror and tell you what you have done?

First, I’ve already cited two industrial-era precedents where socialism did reverse demographic collapse:
- Gaddafi’s Libya (1969–2011): Libya’s population more than tripled, growing from ~2 million to ~6.5 million.
- Nazi Germany (1933–1939): TFR climbed from 1.58 to 2.4 in six years through marriage loans and child bonuses.

Second, the contrast on the Korean Peninsula right now speaks for itself:
- North Korea (socialist): TFR held above 2.0 until the 2020s (1970s: 3.5–4.0; 1980s: 2.5–3.0; 1990s: 2.0–2.5; 2000s: 2.1; 2010s: 2; 2023: ~1.8) — still above many capitalist peers despite sanctions.
- South Korea (capitalist): TFR crashed from 4.5 in 1970 to 0.72 in 2023 (Seoul: 0.59) — the lowest in human history.

What exactly are you talking about?

You still haven’t said a word about the kibbutzim — voluntary, pure-communism communes in Israel that have thrived for 100 years with TFR 3–4 (higher than the national 2.9).
Can’t find anything bad to say about communism when it’s "Jewish"?
Two out of how many? Big deal! It's like I said, those are just the exceptions...and how's that working out now? Why haven't you moved there?

Jesus is coming soon ... a few years away ... get it?
Fine,

But even then:
what exactly bothered you so much about the U4U program for Ukrainians?
What did white Christians ever do to you?
You really think when Jesus comes He’ll pat you on the back for that?
That’s one.

And two: it still solves nothing.
It’s just your hypothetical assumption that the end of the world will happen before the demographic crisis collapses the whole system.
I don’t think the capitalists are going to sit and wait till the last minute.
The collapse of capitalism is already obvious to every more-or-less sane person.
Most likely they’ll start either a big war or another “pandemic” so they can blame the failure of capitalism on that.

I'm just saying I don't depend on my circumstances. I depend on Jesus.

I think maybe what we need is someone who can address this problem. Maybe even a group of people internationally.

There was a time when we were destroying the Ozone Layer; but we managed to stop that in time!
I already said it in the thread:
to solve this problem, one single group of people at the international level is not enough.
Everyone has to give birth, everyone in every layer of society.
Some international group cannot give birth for everyone else.

And what exactly do you mean when you say
“I’m just saying I don’t depend on my circumstances. I depend on Jesus.”?

Did you win the lottery and now don’t have to work?
Or do you literally eat manna from heaven?
What does it mean in practical terms?
How exactly does that solve the problem?

Okay, got it. You’re doing fine!
Was that all you wanted to say?
OK. I understand. You’re doing fine.

Now tell me: how did that solve the demographic crisis?

Again you drag the entire conversation back to “me” and “my mind.”
This thread was never about me.
This thread is about an objective, measurable, society-wide demographic collapse that is already killing nations.

It is not a personal spiritual defect.
It is not a lack of “inner kingdom.”
It is math: when 80–90 % of a society can no longer afford children, that society disappears in one generation.

Stop psychoanalysing me.
Start dealing with the actual numbers that don’t care about your private revelations.

Yes, that is the problem. By prioritizing economic issues, you are serving and worshiping mammon.
No.
Calling out a system that literally makes “be fruitful and multiply” impossible for 90 % of young people is not “serving mammon.”
It is obeying Genesis 1:28 and defending the poorest against those who devour their houses (Isaiah 5:8, James 5:1–6).

Jesus spoke more about money and the abuse of wealth than about heaven and hell combined.
He flipped tables in the temple because the money-changers were turning His Father’s house into a den of robbers.
He told the rich ruler to sell everything and give to the poor — not to “seek the kingdom inside himself.”
So when I quote the exact verses where Jesus and James condemn the rich who hoard while others starve and can’t marry, that’s not “prioritizing economics.”

That’s prioritizing Scripture.
You’re the one trying to silence the prophets with spiritual-sounding platitudes so the money-changers can keep their tables upright.
Stop calling obedience to God’s word “mammon-worship.”
That trick is older than the temple courts.

The problem is within us--within us all individually. This is you thread, revealing what is within you. Why are you so surprised when I merely hold up a mirror and tell you what you have done?
I simply presented official statistics that show a universally recognized demographic crisis.
Then I did 2 + 2 = 4: capitalism only survives on growth, growth is gone → capitalism will soon be gone too.

How exactly does that say anything personal about me?
I personally have zero demographic problems.
And no individual human being has a “demographic problem”:

- If someone has kids, their problem is how to clothe, house, feed, and raise them.
- If someone has no kids, there is no problem at all.

The demographic crisis is a problem of the entire society, not of any single individual.

Stop turning objective numbers into my personal drama.
That’s not a mirror.
That’s just a calculator.
