Ashes, Ashes, We All Fall Down (2 of 5)

November 9, 2014 CFBC, Chester, IL Dr. Mike Fogerson, Speaker

Introduction:

A The five keys of the Shemitah (Sabbatical year) were taught last Sunday.

1 These keys are:

a 7th year

b 586 BC & the Judgement sign (490 year = 70 Shemitahs)

c Prophetic Manifestation (Econ/Financial realms)

d Secret Israel

e Tishri Connection

aa Trishri (Sept/Oct)

bb Elvl 29 {Major refresh}

2 Shemitah can be understood in two lights:

a Observance vs Prophetic sign.

aa Only Israel was required to keep the Shemitah as an observance – only applies to one nation.

bb As an observance the Shemitah is every year.

cc The Shemitah as a “prophetic sign” isn’t bound to a schedule/calendar/nation... when it does manifest it will look like the Shemitah in effect. (Econ, finances, national trouble, recession, depression, etc)

b Since we are not Israel, our concern is on the prophetic sign of the Shemitah.

aa It operates/affects our economy/finances.

bb We are not dealing with the observance but the prophetic sign, we shouldn’t expect the Shemitah to occur on a regular basis. (Every 7 years) but a unique phenomenon... it’s not simple formulaic... fingerprints, yes!

B In 586 BC, the Shemitah appears as a prophetic sign against Ancient Israel; a nation in moral/spiritual apostasy from God.

1 America & Ancient Israel have a unique connection.

a Established/patterned after Ancient Israel.

b Our nations are spiritually related.

2 Shemitah is linked to national judgement and national blessing.

a If the nation is on it’s foundation - Blessing!

b If the nation has turned away from God - judgment!

T.S. Using what we know so far we’re going backstage - looking behind the curtain at the greatest economic/financial collapses of modern times - we’ll see fingerprints of the Shemitah.

I What happens when Shemitah hits wall st?

A We’re going to look at the great long-term stock market in history, through the Shemitah.

1 The crash of 2000-2001 (.com crash & 9/11)

a The first Shemitah of the new millennium fell in 2000-2001.

aa Stock market lost 37% of it’s value.

bb Busting of the .com bubble (pets.com, books-amillion)

cc 9/ll attacks

b The effects were felt for months... this collapse overlaps 100& with the Shemitah year.

2 The crash of 1916 -1917 (WWI, 40% market wiped out.)

a The Shemitah began on Sept. 16th and two months later the stock market collapsed.

b The overlap of this crash is over 80%.

3 The crash of 1973 (45% market wiped out; 60% overlapped with Shemitah)

4 The crash of 1901-1903 (46% wiped out - 100% over Shemitah)

5 The crash of 1937-1938 (The day after Shemitah began, by June 1938 4 million people unemployed - Shemitah’s prophetic sign)

6 The crash of 2007-2008 (Great recession, worst financial crisis since the great depression; within 30 days of the start of the Shemitah in 2007, the SM collapsed.)

a The Shemitah reached it’s climax in Sept 2008.

b Shemitah & the great recession took place simultaneously; overlap is 100%;

B The great depression/ (Crash of 1930 -1932)

1 In 1929, The stock market crashed. (But with in 6 months it had rebounded) By 1930 it was going back downhill.

a 1931, “The year that made the great depression great.”

aa World economy is paralyzed.

bb It would take until 1954 for the market to recover.

b Shemitah began on Sept. 19, 1931... So did the crash.

aa Overlap with Shemitah to this crash? 100%

bb Shemitah wipes out economics/finances.

2 The majority of wall streets greatest crashes sync with Shemitah.

a The two biggest (200-2008; 1931-1932) sync 100%!

b How could the ancient cycles of Shemitah be joined with modern economics?

c The majority of one day crashes are occurred during the year of Shemitah.

C At the heart of the greatest crashes/financial recessions in the last 40 years we find the 7 year cycle of the Ancient Shemitah.

1 The Shemitah for us is not an observation but a prophetic sign... The sign effects are one in the same.

a It’s hard to imagine that from the sands of Sinai, a 3,000 year old mystery is determining the modern world’s finances, rise/fall of nation’s & global economy.

b 60% of Wall Streets one day, greatest crashes occur in a tiny sliver of the first 18 days of Tishri.

aa Something more than nature is occurring.

bb When the dates of our nations worst financial/economic disasters consistently fall in a pocket of day... we probably need to pay attention.

2 We’ve lifted a measuring stick (Shemitah) against the greatest economic collapses in history.

a If there wasn’t a pattern these collapses would be evenly distributed through the year.
