The story of stuff

Last week, Dr. Mercola featured the Story of Stuff video on his website. It really opened my eyes to how our economy works-- and believe me, it ain't a solid system! Simply put, if people can't buy new stuff, our economy goes kaput. And it will, soon enough.

Though obviously, like everything else, commercialism wasn't an unknown to Bro. Branham. I've been reading through Will the Church Go Before the Tribulation, 58-0309E, and with this video in my recent memory, this part really caught my eye:

But Jesus said, "As it was in that day... so will it be in the coming of the Son of God."

Now, and Noah preached a hundred and twenty years. And notice, he was laughed at. Now, Jesus also said that as it was in the days of Lot, that it would be... In the days of Lot they were eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage, planting, building, selling, buying.

Oh, there never was a day that's so much commercial as today. Just used car lots and everything, so much till you can buy a refrigerator this year and pay about four or five hundred dollars for it, and next year nobody wants it. It's out of style. Don't you see where the commercial world has your nose to the grind wheel.

You can buy a car this year, and next year it's probably as good as the one you could buy then, but it'll depreciate a thousand dollars, because they change the radiator cap, or they done some little silly something to it. It's only a sales talk to fulfill the Bible. "As it was the days of Noah... and in the days of Lot..."

So now I see, our commercialized society is a fulfillment of scripture!

Wow.
