Are We Due for a “Crash?”

-Italy

-Indiana

-Spain

-Switzerland

-Asiana

So…I was prompted to look up the word “crash” in the Bible:

Zep 1:10

On the day, declares the Lord, a cry will go up from the Fish Gate, wailing from the New Quarter, and a loud crash from the hills.

Matthew 7:27

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.

Sadly…I think we are due for a big “crash” of some sort here in America (with global ramifications). Either financially, politically, natural disaster, spiritually, etc. I mean a HUGE crash–nothing like we’ve ever seen before. Please note WHERE the crashes took place: Italy (Vatican/Rome) Switzerland (Money Storage, Neutrality) Spain (Ancient Muslim conquest) Asiana (Nikkei Stock Market?) and I’m not sure why Indianapolis—but that’s obviously in the United States—maybe the “Heartland?–maybe it means “speeding recklessly” but it was a CHURCH bus that crashed. So it could be a “shadow-picture” of the Church here in America. We are supposed to be the heart of our country, America is speeding out of control and we are supposed to be the “brakes” but we have “failed.” Here’s the scriptural interpretations:

On that day: (Hebrew word “Yom”–could indicate a specific day)

declares the Lord: (the existing One)

a cry will go up from: (Loud Voice of Distress)

the Fish Gate: (Fish indicates “prolific” and Gate = public meeting place, Gates of the Land, in one of thy cities)

wailing: (howling, yelling)

from the New Quarter (second place, second rank, second brother, copy, of less value, as in Gentiles vs. Jews)…could also mean “New Quarter” as in 9/1 date starts new quarter of year. America vs. Israel

crash: (breaking, fracturing, crushing, WALL BREACH, ruin, shattering, destruction, as of a kingdom)

from the hills: (Lower than that of a Mountain, place of illicit worship, Town situated on a hill, “City on a Hill”, Manhattan situated on seven hills, Rome situated on seven hills, Wall street?)

and then:

The rain came (violent rainstorm)

down (from Jerusalem, from celestial beings (Angels of Judgment)…the lowest state of wretchedness and SHAME)

the streams (torrents)

rose (find a place of influence)

and the winds (4 corners of the Earth)

blew and beat (inducement to sin, inducement to stumble)

against that house (family structure)

and it fell (fell under judgment, into ruination, loss of prosperity, condemnation)

with a great (grand scale)

crash: (breaking, fracturing, crushing, WALL BREACH, ruin, shattering, destruction, as of a kingdom)
