The Perfect Storm Prophetic Headlines
Session 3: Disasters & Collapsing Systems
I.
Intro:
The prophecies about political unrest coming to America that we looked at in
our last session are quite disturbing. However the political crisis will be
greatly impacted and escalated by all of the unrelated disasters and
collapsing systems that are also promised in these coming years. This
session looks at the Terry Bennett and John Paul Jackson’s headlines that
detail future tragedies that spanning from the economic realm to geophysical
catastrophes.
II.
Banking and Insurance
Terry and John Paul have both spoken about the Lord’s judgment coming
upon the banking and insurance systems because of the roots of greed and
injustice at their core. While the headlines do not focus on those two major
components of global economics it is important to factor into our processing
what a major impact each of these spheres have. The ideas presented below
are merely possible ways that these systems may come to fall; the ideas are
my own and do not necessarily reflect Terry Bennett or John Paul Jackson’s
statements or perspective. What they do however is paint a picture of the
potential outcomes left in the wake of the fulfillment of their headlines.
A. Collapse of Banking:
1. Setting the stage:
The banking industry relies heavily on mortgage money, that is the
funds tied to residential and commercial loans. Which under normal
circumstances works fine and has afforded a large percentage of the
American population to get into homes without having the cash on
hand to purchase such a large investment.
2. Potential situation:
In the case where hyper-inflation were to take place to extreme
lengths, say if it were to reach 1000% inflation on the current value of
the dollar fixed rate mortgages (which still make up the majority of
loans) would be in serious trouble. In hyper-inflation wages have to
follow suite with the rise of the cost of goods and cost of living. This
ends up creating ridiculous situations where in the above described
scenario a loaf of bread that currently costs $1 all of the sudden costs
$10 (Example: Russia hit over 2300% inflation in December of 1992).
When wages are adjusted to account for this inflation a person’s
salary could quickly also see that same sort of inflated adjustment;
was making $10k a year now making possibly in the upper 80’s or
more.

3. Impact on mortgages.
Mortgages are for a fixed amount and do not take into consideration
inflation. So if you own $100,000 on you house, that number doesn’t
change no matter what happens to the value of the dollar. If now all
the sudden people are making 10 times per month what they were
making before it is possible that they could pay off their house loans
in a much shorter period of time. But the money the bank is now
receiving isn’t worth near as much as it was when they loaned it out.
4. Fall of major banks:
It wouldn’t take but maybe a million loans to go south like what is
being described here for even the largest of US Banks (Bank of
America) to be completely unable to remain in business.
B. Collapse of Insurance Companies:
1. Setting the stage:
Insurance companies exist by operating on a simple principle; they
are counting on the fact that bad things will happen, but that the cost
of the sum of all claims will stay within a certain percentage rate of
what is collected.
2. Potential situation:
In the case that all of the disasters that the headlines describe were to
unfold in a short few year period of time the insurance companies
would be in serious trouble. Tens of thousands of people making
unexpected claims all in the same short period of time would total
many times the amount previously collected by these companies. This
would put insurers in an impossible financial situation, they would
have to default on paying out to customers and eventually go out of
business.
III.
Financial Collapse:
The headlines in this section tell a grim story of what is going to hit the US
economy; again it is noteworthy that Terry Bennett was given time frame of
June 2011 to June of 2015 as being the season that this wave of difficulties
would transpire. The economic landscape will forever be altered by these
trends and events; these things will change the American way of life in
substantial ways.

VII.
International Conflict:
If the past hundred years tell us anything it’s that when the nations of the
Earth are in unrest America gets involved. We will not slide by unscathed,
international policies will shift, wars will ensue and great pressure will be
placed on our nation to respond, react or stay at a safe distance – all of which
will have consequences.

2. Did you ever think you would witness such things in your lifetime?
3. What does God mean in all this transition and upheaval?
IX.
Major Reasoning Behind this Series:
A. Stir Up Our Concern:
6
Shouldn’t all of this cause us great concern? If we have been even half
attempting to process the things discussed in this series then we should
be really alarmed. God’s intent in giving us the information ahead of time
is to cause us a certain degree of unrest and to be greatly concerned for
our future wellbeing.
B. Preparing for the Transition:
There is nothing you can do to get ready for this. Reading a book on
earthquake safety tips isn’t going to prepare you for what’s coming, that’s
the point there is no amount of natural preparation that can ready a
person for what is coming; it is unprecedented. God is the one bringing
the shaking and He doesn’t want people to have natural answers, He’s
kicking out all the props on purpose to cause everyone to fall to their
knees and lean on Him as the only solution.
C. Call us to Pray:
1. Unavoidable difficulties:
Jesus told us that the last generation would face great troubles and
that there was only one prescription for how to make it and I’ll give
you a tip it wasn’t you will not be able to think your way out, buy your
way out, or prepare your way out of the coming difficulties, they will
come upon all who live on the face of the whole earth.
2. Divine strategies:
If the Lord gives you a personal direction to read up on something or
to store goods in a bunker or to buy ammo or any other initiative then
I suggest you follow His leading, but any of these efforts are of your
own invention they will prove futile when the time comes. My
suggestion is to follow more sure Biblical means of preparation.
3. The Biblical prescription:
Jesus tells us clearly how we are to prepare for such things. He makes
the prescription so clear it’s insulting; we are to pray and to join with
others who are doing so. It is really a call to form godly communities
with prayer at the center.
“I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all
these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my
words will never pass away. “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed
down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that
day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. For it will come upon all
those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch,
and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and
that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man (Lk. 21:32-34).”
D. Only Logical Response:
1. No matter the cost:
I want to encourage everyone who hears this message either now,
online or in the future. Whatever it may cost you join or form a
community that actually prays and fasts for God’s purposes.
2. When you find something this valuable:
7
I believe a parable that Jesus told is very fitting right now with regard
to the rarity of such communities. He more or less said this; when you
find something of great value and unusual rarity sell all you have and
go get that thing.
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man
found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and
bought that field (Mt. 13:44).”
3. Response:
If you feel the grace to pioneer such a community or you are already
part of one then put forth incredible effort to root yourself in that
reality. If you do not already have such a place, then I want to make a
bold suggestion; move to Arlington and come get rooted in daily
prayer meetings here in this community. You will find this group of
people to be very helpful in equipping you and this place a great
environment to get some clarity.
