War, Oil and the World Economy Are we less vulnerable to an oil price shock than we were in 1979? ........... I remember how soaring energy prices were followed by soaring inflation across the board. .......... Now Donald Trump has taken us to war with the nation that was at the epicenter of that crisis. Obligatory disclaimer: The Iranian regime is evil, and it would be a good thing if this war leads to its demise. But my topic today is the side consequences of the US attack. ..............

Almost everyone assumes that the economic fallout from Operation Masculine Insecurity Epic Fury will be much less severe than the fallout from the rise of the mullahs nearly fifty years ago.

............ why did world oil prices rise 165 percent after the Iranian Revolution? Fears of disruption in other Middle Eastern nations led to speculative hoarding, followed by Saudi production cuts that kept prices high. ................ Shipments of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, which is how most Middle Eastern oil reaches world markets, appear to have come to a more or less complete halt. ................ Middle Eastern oil remains crucial for the world economy as a whole. ........... As of this morning, oil prices were about $10 a barrel higher than they were in mid-February. That will add approximately 25 cents to the price of a gallon of gasoline. So far markets are in effect betting on a short, not-too-disruptive war, although that could change. ............... The “oil intensity of GDP” is the ratio of oil consumption (measured in terawatt-hours of energy) to real GDP, measured in 2017 dollars. This indicator has declined more than 70 percent since the 1970s, which basically tells us that today’s economy uses much less oil to produce a given amount of output than the economy of the 1970s. One way to see this is to compare growth in US real GDP to the change in US oil consumption since 1978: ................. The U.S. economy has tripled in size, but oil consumption now is about the same as it was in the late 1970s. .............. the gas mileage of the average car has roughly doubled. Also, cheap natural gas has replaced oil in many uses, for example in home heating, and renewable energy is also starting to make a dent. ................ Dubai in particular is an important node in the global financial system, as well as playing host to many extremely rich people who thought they had found a safe haven. One indicator of that changing status is the transformation of Dubai International Airport into one of the world’s most important travel hubs.

The Jews, The Christians, the Hindus Have Been Waiting For The Same Person

These are the End Times. The End Times refer to the final phase of this age, before the next age begins. The End Times do not mean the end of the earth. An age is a span of time. A decade is 10 years. A century is 100 years. A millennium is 1,000 years. An age is several thousand years. The age we are in has gone on for over 5,000 years now.

The Old Testament prophecies point to Jesus. That Jesus points all Christians through the most famous of all Christian prayers the Lord's Prayer to Yahweh in human incarnation, one king for all earth who takes peace and prosperity to every corner of earth, which apparently is the Messiah the Jews have been waiting for. But they don't know him to be Yahweh in human incarnation. The Messiah they wait for will not be born in the line of David, because that particular prophecy was already fulfilled in Jesus.

An astrologer looked at the young Siddhartha Gautama and said, he will become an ascetic, or he will become one king for all earth. He became an ascetic 2,500 years ago. He will become one king for all earth now.

It is said The Buddha taught his disciples only 1/100th of what Lord Shiva, the Holy Spirit, taught his disciples in the last age of truth, the last Satya Yuga. That does not mean Shiva was 100 times smarter than The Buddha. Shiva's knowledge has no limits. The Buddha's knowledge has no limits. But how much tea will you pour in a teacup? What the teacup will hold. Human capacity in this age, the age of darkness when humanity has walked away the furthest from God of all four ages, is 100 times less than what it will be in the next age only a few decades away, the Age of Truth.

No religion born in this age has the spiritual content for the next age, the Age of Truth. Only the Sanatana Dharma does. Humanity as a whole will move from this age, the primary school, to the next age, the university.

The Bible is like Newton's law of gravity. The Sanatana Dharma is like the Theory Of Relativity.

Yahweh is Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu was on earth in human incarnation as Lord Buddha 2,500 years ago. He was Lord Krishna over 5,000 years ago towards the end of the last age. That history can be read in the epic the Mahabharata. He was Lord Rama about 7,000 years ago towards the end of the age before the last one. Apparently all ages are not the same length. Before Lord Rama went back to heaven, the highest of the seven heavens, He said He will be back. He was back 2,000 years later as Lord Krishna. At one point Lord Buddha relayed many stories from the Ramayana and claimed, "I am Rama." Lord Rama was king of Ayodhya. Lord Krishna was ruler of Dwarika. Lord Buddha was born to a royal family.

All major events in the Mahabharata and the Ramayana come with immaculate, detailed descriptions of the night sky, which is the best calendar there is, since the pattern never repeats. Based on those descriptions NASA astronomers, non-Hindus, place the events in the Mahabharata to be about 5,000 years ago, and the events in the Ramayana to be about 7,000 years ago.

Lord Krishna promises in the Geeta that He will be back in every age to restore Dharma. That is a reference to these End Times. At one point in the Geeta, Arjuna, the most valiant warrior on earth at the time, asks Lord Krishna, "How will humanity cross the sea of all sin?" Lord Krishna answers: "By way of Wisdom, you will be able to cross the sea of all sin." Wisdom is the name for Jesus in the Jewish Bible, also known as the Old Testament. The arrival of Jesus was prophesied in the Geeta 3,000 years before arrival.

The most famous book in the Bible is the Gospel of John. In the first paragraph, Jesus is described as the creator of heaven and earth. Ask any Hindu, "Who is that?" They will say: "Bramha."

The Hindus wait for the 10th and final avatar of Lord Vishnu, for Lord Kalki. There are prophecies about Lord Kalki in 5,000-year-old scriptures. He is here. 11 of the 12 prophecies have come true in Him.

The Bible is scripture because it contains prophecies. If there are other books that also contain prophecies, they are also scriptures.

The long-awaited Messiah of the Jews is here. But there will be some Jews who will say, "Look, The Devil!" The Lord's Prayer is being answered as we speak. But there will be some Christians who will say, "Look, The Devil!"

The Devil has a way of appealing to the pride of some of the priestly class.

Islam is the anti-religion. The Devil gets all those who he gets through the lie of atheism. But it wants more souls. And so it concocts a religion. That anti-religion in Islam. Muslims have been fooled into thinking Allah is God. Allah is not God. God is omnipotent. The Allah of the Koran is not. Allah does not seem to have the power to enter human history, for example. There is no historic Muhammad. Prophets are so called because they spoke prophecies that came to be true. Prophets are not the source of their prophecies. The Holy Spirit speaks through them. What prophecy has been attributed to Muhammad? Can you name one? There are none.

Those who want peace should achieve this spiritual clarity. And engage Muslims. And help them achieve clarity. But the last age ended with a war, documented in the Mahabharata. The age before that ended with a war, documented in the Ramayana. Looks like this age will also end with a war. The Islamists are the forces of evil. The forces of good have to prepare. If there is to be war, the way to minimize death and destruction is maximum preparedness. The truly evil do not reason. Duryodhana did not reason. Ravana did not reason. The truly evil fight to the finish.

Those working at the cutting edges of AI and robotics see an end to currency. Money becomes irrelevant. The next age has an economy, but it is moneyless.

In the new caste system meant for all humanity, to be Brahmin you have to not eat meat, not drink alcohol, and not smoke.

The next age does not have wars. There is universal peace and prosperity. That next age has been vividly described in the Book Of Isaiah.

Many characters from the Bible, the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana are here to assist with the project to end this age and usher in the new one. Moses is here and is a lady pastor. Thomas is here and is a lady pastor. John The Bapist is here and even has the same name. Job is here. Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, the most popular politician in the world, is Hanuman of Ramayana. Balen Shah, the next Prime Minister of Nepal, was Laxman in the Ramayana, and Balram in the Mahabharata. Ramdev Baba was the woman Sabri in the Ramayana. There are many others.

These are the End Times. This age is about to end.
