Jeremiah 12: 14-17
Thus says Yahweh concerning all My wicked neighbors who strike at the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel, “Behold I am about to uproot them from their land and will uproot the house of Judah from among them. And it will come about that after I have uprooted them, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land. Then if they will really learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ even as they taught My people to swear by Baal, they will be built up in the midst of My people. But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it,” declares Yahweh.

Jeremiah 31: 31-34
“Behold, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares Yahweh. “But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares Yahweh, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares Yahweh, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”

It’s about a travesty of justice, and it reveals Yahweh intervening in the life of a believer to rescue her from danger in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Everyone will enjoy the book, but young people in particular need to read it because the mistakes made that led to the problem could have been avoided. They were the kinds of mistakes that young people are prone to make. As they say, forewarned is forearmed. Click here to order the eBook. Click here to order the paperback.

The Global Economy at Cliff’s Edge
As November 2011 drew to a close, the global economy still has a long way to go before it’s out of danger. That’s why it pays to be careful when you see stock market activity like we witnessed yesterday. At 4:00 when the market closed, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 484.98 points, or 4.23%; the S&P 500 was up 51.59 points, or 4.33%; and the NASDAQ was up 104.83 points, or 4.17%. People who don’t understand the situation may be tempted to believe that our economic problems have been solved. They haven’t, and we are at the edge of an economic cliff. Yesterday’s stock market activity means just one thing. Investors think that a major economic catastrophe has been averted in Europe, but only time will tell if that’s the case.
In a nutshell, this is what’s happening. One European country after another is coming to grips with the fact that their socialist policies have led them to insolvency. First it was Greece; then it was Italy; France is in trouble too; but so are Spain, Ireland, and a host of other European Union (EU) member states. Finally, Germany’s political leaders have acknowledged that Germany has a critical role to play if the EU is to be saved, but it is by no means certain that the people of Germany who will be asked to pay the bills are willing to pony up for the excesses of their fellow Europeans. Still, Germany’s belated admission that it must step forward contributed greatly to the stock market euphoria that we experienced yesterday.
On Tuesday, President Obama said that the United States is willing to help Europe with its debt crisis but that we won’t send them any money. That’s laughable since the US has more than $15 trillion dollars in debt; our debt/GDP ratio is 100%, far above the 80% level where rating agencies become concerned about the ability of a country to meet its financial obligations; we are forecasting trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see; and we would have to borrow money if we wanted to help Europe solve its debt problems. Ironically, China is the only country in the world today with the financial wherewithal to keep the global economy from falling off the cliff, and its desire to help out is motivated by the fact that its exports are declining as a result of the global economic sluggishness.
Yesterday’s stock market jubilation was inspired by coordinated activity by the US Federal Reserve Bank, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of Canada, and the Swiss National Bank to lower the cost of borrowing in order to stave off disaster. There is an inflation consequence associated with monetary easing, but paraphrasing Scarlett O’Hara, “We’ll worry about that tomorrow.” In effect, central bankers are making money cheaper in hopes of buying time for European countries to get their fiscal houses in order, but make no mistake. The European crisis is far from over, and given the reactions of Greeks and Italians to recently announced austerity measures, there is plenty of room for doubt about the willingness of ordinary Europeans to face the economic facts.
For that matter, the failure of the congressional super committee to deal with our looming fiscal crisis doesn’t bode well for the United States. It’s anybody’s guess as to what might happen when US citizens finally realize that we are spending money we don’t have on things we don’t need and that we can’t continue down the path we’re on and survive as a nation. When we impose austerity measures, that’s assuming China doesn’t do it for us, the Occupy Wall Street crowd and likeminded souls may take to the streets with weapons instead of pup tents. I’m not kidding. It could happen, and if it does, we’ll see things that we haven’t seen in this country in my lifetime. It could make the Vietnam War protests look tame by comparison.
On Monday, Dr. Leon G. Cooperman, Chairman and CEO of Omega Advisors, sent President Obama an open letter in which he said, among other things,
“It is with a great sense of disappointment that I write this. Like many others, I hoped that your election would bring a salutary change of direction to the country, despite what more than a few feared was an overly aggressive social agenda. And I cannot credibly blame you for the economic mess that you inherited, even if the policy response on your watch has been profligate and largely ineffectual …. But what I can justifiably hold you accountable for is your and your minions’ role in setting the tenor of the rancorous debate now roiling us that smacks of what so many have characterized as ‘class warfare’. Whether this reflects your principled belief that the eternal divide between the haves and have-nots is at the root of all the evils that afflict our society or just a cynical, populist appeal to his base by a president struggling in the polls is of little importance. What does matter is that the divisive, polarizing tone of your rhetoric is cleaving a widening gulf, at this point as much visceral as philosophical, between the downtrodden and those best positioned to help them. It is a gulf that is at once counterproductive and freighted with dangerous historical precedents. And it is an approach to governing that owes more to desperate demagoguery than your Administration should feel comfortable with.”
I think Cooperman was too kind. President Obama is responsible for the mess we’re in because he squandered more than $2 trillion of our hard-earned and borrowed money to accomplish little more than payoffs for groups and individuals that supported candidate Obama in 2008. That was more than enough money to get our economy moving, but he blew it. Even more, he has done everything in his power to drive up energy costs and to prevent development of energy resources that we have in abundance. The cost to US citizens in dollars and national security is staggeringly high.
This is the bottom line. We can’t afford to be sanguine about the economy — be it European, US, or global; President Obama is stoking a fire that can rage out of control in the blink of an eye if he continues with his class warfare agenda; we need change at the top badly; and we need change in Congress too. The United States can’t afford four more years of President Obama or members of Congress who won’t do their job.

Joel 3: 17-21
Then you will know that I am Yahweh your God, dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. So Jerusalem will be holy, and strangers will pass through it no more. And in that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine, and the hills will flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah will flow with water; and a spring will go out from the house of Yahweh to water the valley of Shittim. Egypt will become a waste, and Edom will become a desolate wilderness, because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, in whose land they have shed innocent blood. But Judah will be inhabited forever and Jerusalem for all generations. And I will avenge their blood which I have not avenged, for Yahweh dwells in Zion.
