"BANKS ARE PREPARING FOR AN ECONOMIC NUCLEAR WINTER" ACCORDING TO SPRIHA SRIVASTAVE FROM "CNBC FINANCIAL NEWS"!!

Banks are preparing for an ‘economic nuclear winter’!

The first half of 2016 has been a roller-coaster for financial markets. A combination of uncertainties surrounding the U.K.'s vote to leave the European Union and weaker-than-expected corporate earnings results across the region means a tough second half looms.
European banks, in particular, have had a very tough six months as the shock and volatility around Brexit sent banking stocks south. Major European banks like Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse saw their shares in free-fall after the referendum's results were announced. In the U.K., RBS was the worst-hit, with its shares plunging by more than 30 percent since June 24.
The current uncertainty over when the U.K. will start the process of quitting the EU has banks on tenterhooks. But a source told CNBC that banks are "preparing for an economic nuclear winter situation."
Speaking on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the topic, a source from a major investment bank told CNBC that financial services firms have put together a strategy in place that takes into account the worst-case scenario that could happen by the end of this year.
"This could mean triggering Article 50, referendum in other European nations leading to a break-up of the euro or sterling hitting below $1.20 or lower. The banks are ready for anything now," the source said.
The source further explained that the challenge in 2016 is nothing compared to when the Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008 and the banking sector is this time a lot more resilient. "Markets hate uncertainty and the events this year have unfortunately created a lot of mystery around what is going to happen next."
Meanwhile, a common theme across second-quarter results has been a warning of uncertain times ahead. From big investment banks to mining firms like BHP Billiton and Glencore to the auto sector, companies have cited uncertainty and volatility in markets as a reason for weak results and have warned that the second half will be challenging.

Following that, a number of banks have cut their exposure to equities due to the volatile nature of stocks in the first half the year. Earlier this month, Goldman Sachs downgraded stocks to "underweight" as part of its 3-month asset allocation citing global equities to be at the upper end of their "fat and flat range."
"The second half of the year is going to be very challenging for U.K. corporates," Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at OANDA told CNBC via email. "Not only are they contending with possible recession in the U.K. and more prolonged slowdown, the uncertainty factor surrounding Brexit leaves planning for the future a very difficult task."
Erlam further explained that a number of companies won't know for a while what the future of their operations in the U.K. will look like.
"I imagine many are already putting plans in place for moving operations abroad should the U.K. lose access to the single market. With companies less likely to invest and recession very possible, the second half of the year isn't looking great, particularly for those companies with greater exposure to the UK."
But while challenges continue to loom, some analysts have said it was important for companies to get on with their business.
"I think the main problem for the second half of the year is the uncertainty caused by Brexit, though that's likely to persist for two years or more, so I suspect companies are likely to roll up their sleeves and get on with their business," Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown told CNBC via email.
Khaif explained that the challenges will remain but it is important for industries like banking for instance to focus on maintaining their solvency ratios and "de-risking and simplifying their businesses."

THE UK'S "BREXIT" FROM EUROPE WILL NEVER HAPPEN ACCORDING TO PROFESSOR THOM BROOKS, THE HEAD OF LAW AT DURHAM UNIVERSITY!!

Hi Folks,

We need to continue to pray. Have a read of this and you will see what I mean.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/brexit-article-50-eu-referendum-uk-will-never-leave-says-top-academic-a7214926.html

We should accept Brexit will never happen! Top academic says Britain will never leave the EU because Boris Johnson and other leading Brexiteers did not realise the full complexity of the process, a leading expert has claimed. Professor Thom Brooks, who is head of Law at the University of Durham, said Article 50 is unlikely to ever be invoked, and if it was it could "let down the next generation". Prof Brooks, who advised the Electoral Commission on the wording of the referendum question, said:“I do not think Article 50 will be invoked.


"PREPARING THE WORLD FOR THE ANTICHRIST - THE UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS" BY GERI UNGUREAN FROM "RAPTURE READY"!!

 
As I read the agenda for the 2015 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, I believe that the Lord opened my eyes and allowed me to see with clarity that this meeting and its agenda was to prepare the way for the coming Antichrist
 
I have placed excerpts from the agenda in this article. Those readers with discernment will likely see what is happening here without my commentary. For those who may be a bit confused, I will add my words to further explain. The excerpts from the UN agenda will be italicized.
 
We will seek to build strong economic foundations for all our countries. Sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth is essential for prosperity. This will only be possible if wealth is shared and income inequality is addressed.
 
Marxism in its purest form - the sharing of income and wealth.
 
We recognize the positive contribution of migrants for inclusive growth and sustainable development. We also recognize that international migration is a multi-dimensional reality of major relevance for the development of countries of origin, transit and destination, which requires coherent and comprehensive responses. We will cooperate internationally to ensure safe, orderly and regular migration involving full respect for human rights and the humane treatment of migrants regardless of migration status, of refugees and of displaced persons. Such cooperation should also strengthen the resilience of communities hosting refugees, particularly in developing countries. We underline the right of migrants to return to their country of citizenship, and recall that States must ensure that their returning nationals are duly received.  (emphasis mine)
 
Many people in the world have wondered about the forced migration of Muslims to Europe and America. Where was this decision sanctioned? Well, I believe it is clear that the Sustainable Development agenda of the U.N. in 2015 was behind this plan.  Did you read "Strengthen the resilience of communities hosting refugees, particularly in developing countries?"  I can't name even ONE third world country which is being bombarded with so-called Muslim refugees!

WITCHCRAFT, ISLAM, AND HUMANISM ARE FILLING THE SPIRITUAL VOID LEFT BY THE FLOUNDERING CHURCH IN THESE LAST DAYS!!!

Witchcraft, Islam And Humanism Are Filling The Spiritual Void Left By The Church
 
A dramatic spiritual paradigm shift is taking place in the western world. More Americans than ever before appear to be turning away from the Christian faith, and this is particularly true among our young people. And while it is undeniable that atheism and agnosticism are both growing rapidly, it is also important to point out that other faiths are on the rise in the western world at the exact same time that Christianity is shrinking.
 
 

 
Israel
 
Churches In Conflict Over Israel
 
The 2016 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA could not offer a word of condemnation for the murders of Christians in Libya, Iraq or Syria by ISIS. In fact, ISIS is not even mentioned in any of the overtures submitted to the PCUSA's 2016 General Assembly. The assembly did, however, condemn Israel multiple times.
 
 
Church Camp
 
Atheist Vs. Christian Camps: Which Was More Effective This Summer?
 
A blog reader sent me some information recently on an atheist summer camp. I was fascinated to read all that they are doing to promote an atheistic worldview with their young campers. It immediately made me wonder how Christian camps stack up.
 

"THE RISE OF THE ANTICHRIST RELIGION AS "MYSTICORE" BECOMES THE NEW NORMAL" BY THE INSPIRATIONAL DR JOHN McTERNAN!!

New post on John McTernan's Insights

‘Mysticore’ is the new norm: The Rise of the AntiChrist’s Religion

by John McTernan and Georgann Ryan
The lead article is about the growth of paganism and satanism in America. The religion of the end times before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is going to be paganism. It is not going to be Islam. As the power of the Church ebbs away from America and the West, paganism is surging. This is the spirit of the antichrist laying the groundwork for the coming of the antichrist, the man of sin.
Make sure you also watch the video with the Muslim teacher instructing her young students about killing those who leave Islam, along with homosexuals. This is real Islam right out of the Koran being brought to the light for all to see.

BREAKING NEWS AS THE JEWISH SANHEDRIN APPOINTS A NEW HIGH PRIEST, AND THE TEMPLE SERVICE COULD BE JUST A WEEK AWAY!!

"THE GATESTONE INSTITUTE" REPORTS ON ON A WORLD CRISIS AS "THE INTERNET IS TO HAVE GLOBAL GOVERNANCE COME THE 1ST OCTOBER 2016"!!

  • The absence of the U.S. in overseeing the governance of the internet could spell the end of the current era of free speech on the internet, as well as free enterprise.
  • What guarantees are there that internet governance will not eventually end up in the hands of those very governments, seeing as they are all very eager to gain control of it? None. The Geneva Declaration of Principles makes clear that the UN, run by a majority of authoritarian governments, wants a decisive role for governments in internet governance.
  • Civil society groups and activists are calling on Congress to sue the Obama Administration -- perhaps at least to postpone the date until more Americans are aware of the plan. It is not too late.

Here is a scholarly essay, difficult to refute evidences, rarely if ever used, powerful, packed with references, that you can use when witnessing to everyone who rejects Christianity to aid the Church to win souls and defeat the devil.

DR JOHN McTERNAN REPORTS ON HOW EUROPE'S SINFUL CULTURE IS DESTROYING THE CONTINENT AS IT COMES UNDER JUDGEMENT FROM GOD!!

Europe: The Substitution of a Population

by John McTernan and Georgann Ryan
This is a fantastic article that you must read. It shows how Europe's sin is destroying the culture. Europe has been under the direct judgment of the Lord for decades but few could see it. Since the vast amount of Europeans reject the Bible, kill their babies, promote the homosexual agenda, reject the Jews and want to divide both Israel and Jerusalem, according to God's word He must judge them.

Mystery Radio Signals Emanating From Sun-Like Star HD 164595 Has Scientists Baffled!!

New post on Now The End Begins

Mystery Radio Signals Emanating From Sun-Like Star HD 164595 Has Scientists Baffled

by THE ORACLE.

A spike in radio signals coming from the direction of a sun-like star has excited astronomers.

The signals seem to be originating from a sun-like star known as HD 164595 in the constellation Hercules, around 95 light years away. Scientists suggest they are likely to be the result of a natural phenomenon, such as 'microlensing', in which the star's gravity strengthens and focus signals from elsewhere.
But astronomers have also asked SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) to take a closer look at whether they could be a message from ET.
SETI will track HD 164595 tonight using the Allen Telescope Array in northern California and the Boquete Optical SETI Observatory in Panama. According to a report by Paul Gilster at Centauri Dreams, the signal was first detected on May 15 last year by the RATAN-600 radio telescope in Zelenchukskaya.
HD 164595 is interesting to scientists because it's a sun-like star with at least one 'warm Neptune' planet in orbit.
Its average temperature  is 12 Kelvin hotter than the sun and is around 100 million years younger than our star.
Scientists say there may still be other planets undetected around HD 164595.
'No one is claiming that this is the work of an extraterrestrial civilisation, but it is certainly worth further study,' writes Gilster.
'Working out the strength of the signal, the researchers say that if it came from an isotropic beacon, it would be of a power possible only for a Kardashev Type II civilisation. 'If it were a narrow beam signal focused on our solar system, it would be of a power available to a Kardashev Type I civilisation.' 

The Kardashev scale is a way of measuring an alien society's technological advancement based upon how much energy it has at its disposal.

A Type I civilisation is given to species who have been able to harness all the energy that is available from a nearby star, gathering and storing it to meet its population's demands. A Type II civilisation is much more advanced and can harness the power of their entire star.

Type III is a species that has been able to master everything having to do with energy. Earth doesn't feature on the scale.

'This is a bit of a puzzling story, as the Russians found this signal a year ago or so, but just didn't let others know,' Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute toldGeekWire. 'That's not good policy, as what you really want is confirmation at another telescope, but… Is it real?
'The signal may be real, but I suspect it's not ET. There are other possibilities for a wide-band signal such as this, and they're caused by natural sources (or even terrestrial interference).'
The researchers who discovered the signals at the Russian Academy of Sciences' Special Astrophysical Observatory say 'permanent monitoring' of HD 164595 is needed.
The signal will be discussed at next month's International Astronautical Congress being held in Mexico. source

GAY MAN PROPOSES TO HIS BOYFRIEND AT A TEXAS METHODIST CHURCH, AND UNBELIEVABLY GETS A STANDING OVATION FROM THE CONGREGATION!! WE ARE TRULY IN THE LAST DAYS FOLKS!!

Man Proposes To His Boyfriend At Texas Methodist Church Gets Standing Ovation From Congregation

by Steve Neville.

The church is open to members of any sexual orientation. Harper said the support they have received has been a huge blessing to their relationship, especially as a gay couple in Texas.

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Isaiah 5:20 (KJV)
At the First United Methodist Church of Austin, Texas, anything goes. Except apparently following the Bible. A gay couple in the church were asked to stand up and "give their testimony" of what God has been doing in their lives. So, one of the men, Trevor Harper, decided this would be a great time to "propose" to his "wife", Davis Covin.
"I don't need permission to be gay", a defiant Harper stated during his "testimony". "I get that from Jesus". Well, actually Trevor, no you don't. The Bible declares that homosexuality is a sin, regardless of whether or not you are monogamous or not.
"And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." Romans 1:27 (KJV)
This story took place last year, but as we speed closer and closer to the Rapture of the Church, it bears repeating. Jesus said that the last church, the church of Laodicea, would be a church that glorified themselves and locked the Lord outside the door. That is exactly what we are seeing.
The Bible believers are being driven out, and in their place are the proponents of the social justice false gospel which no one in the Bible ever preached. With each passing month, more and more churches are signing on to affirm and promote the LGBT lifestyle and agenda. Here are just a few:
There are thousands more across America where the gay agenda is preached and sinners are told they are not sinners, and that they have no need get saved and repent. This is a false Christianity that leads its followers down a flaming road to Hell.
The apostle Paul said that in the last days, there would be no doctrine to warn and instruct, only people having their ears tickled by false teachers teaching lies. That day has arrived, mark this one in the "fulfilled" category.
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away theirears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Timothy 4:3,4 (KJV)
