Last month an elite group of global leaders, known as the Bilderbergers, helped prepare the way for the third horseman of the apocalypse, in a manner of speaking. May 14 kicked off the 57th Annual Bilderberg conference in Vouliagmeni, Greece. This year's main focus was on, what else of course, but the world financial crisis. According to author and investigative reporter, Daniel Eustelin, who has been following the group for close to 20 years, the Bilderbergers had two options from which to choose, "[e]ither a prolonged, agonizing depression that dooms the world to decades of stagnation, decline and poverty ... or an intense-but-shorter depression that paves the way for a new sustainable economic world order, with less sovereignty but more efficiency." News reports issued days after the conference indicate that attendees decided upon the shorter more intense option. We don't have to look past recent news headlines to see the evidence of their decision; the unemployment rate continues to rise, while revenues continue to drop, businesses/banks are being forced into bankruptcy, talk of inflation is increasing and riots have even broken out in certain parts of the world. All the while, news analysts and commentators are warning us that we are in for an economic collapse like we have never experienced in our lifetime. Surely, the third horseman is quickly galloping toward us!
In Revelation 6:5-6 we see the third horseman of the apocaylypse introduced. "When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" This passage reveals a time when a shortage of food will be common place and indicates that it will cost a day's pay for just enough food to feed one person (quart of wheat) or just enough for the family (three quarts of barley). Interestingly enough, it refers to not "damag[ing] the oil and wine", which may indicate that the rich and wealthy could be somewhat immune from this crisis - widening the gap even more between rich and poor. Sure, there have always been famines, food shortages, and rising food prices but we will see a greater and more severe increase as we enter into a financial calamity that this world has never experienced.
There is little doubt that this current global financial crisis, agitated by the Bilderberg's decision to implement a short but intense economic depression in their quest for a "New World Order", will bring a time of unequaled economic distress to the world. Fortunately though, according to the Bible, this "tribulation" of sorts will not last more than seven years.
