Prophetic Countdown in the Days of Awe!

By the Watchman Dana G Smith

Zephaniah 1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

Zephaniah 2:3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.

The world saw the dark day in which the Dow dropped 777 points in a one day nose dive at the beginning of the Jewish Holiday celebrating the New Year known as Rosh Hashanah. Putting this in perspective many analysts have been trying to calm the fears as major governments joined in the move to save the world economic system by buying up bad debt. Governments around the globe are putting together their own rescue packages as did our own Government after this historic drop of the Dow and the major US Wall street banks going under. As the American government nationalized the banks and put its own citizens in further debt, the nationalization of banks world wide have begun. The World officials and banking experts have been doing this in an attempt to save the world economy as fear spreads like a fire. Fox business news quoted Frank Davis, the director of sales and trading at LEK Securities who said “We’ve got fear selling going on. It’s hard to control logical when you have fear selling.”

Acts 14:17  Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

When Labor Day approaches the summer season is over, leastwise around these parts. I know this because I Have spent time, endless hours in the course of servicing tourists, for example during my time at Grand Teton national park, the season ended with Labor Day. That seems far ago, almost in another Galaxy so to speak. It was during a time right after our daughter graduated, moving out we also left home after selling out. We took up residence in a small RV and went to the Grand Teton Park. While there we both kept jobs at the park and learn the massive task of caring for of thousands of employees and even more tourists.

It was then as well both my wife and I warned the employees, friends we developed, and anyone who would listen for more than a few minutes of the coming trouble we knew was arriving on our shores and in the world. I remember distinctly walking down the main path from our residence in the early morning. Usually when I had a break, which was not very often. It was then I would look at the morning sun gleaming on the panhandle of Mount Moran. It was a gorgeous atmosphere to work in, but it was very stressful, with millions of visitors, all of whom had to be taken care of. When Labor Day arrived, we were more than ready to leave the park. We were part of those groups of people who were employed seasonally by various National park service companies. We had been employed by the GTLC.
