This is one of the most important articles that I have written in a long time. The strange events of the past year and a half have befuddled and mystified many, and in this article I am going to explain why America has been given a temporary reprieve. If you go back to June 2015, I warned my readers that major financial problems were imminent, and sure enough in August 2015 we witnessed the greatest financial shaking that we had seen in seven years. I remember getting emails from my readers applauding me for absolutely nailing that prediction, but we were all concerned about what was coming next in September. If you will recall, there was more buzz about September 2015 than any other month that I can ever recall. That was the month of the last blood moon, the end of the Shemitah year and the Pope’s visit to the United States among other things. There was a tremendous amount of anticipation that the crisis that had begun in August 2015 would greatly accelerate in September and lead us into a period of cataclysmic global chaos. But that did not happen. Instead, U.S. financial markets calmed down and eventually recovered. There was a shift in the political realm as well, as the second half of 2015 marked the rise of Donald Trump. During those key months, Trump miraculously built a commanding lead in the race for the Republican nomination that none of his opponents were ever able to overcome. And now that Trump has won the election, an economic surge appears to be happening that is unlike anything that we have witnessed in many years.
Compared to much of the rest of the world, America appears to have been blessed over the past year and a half. Our financial markets have performed extremely well, the U.S. dollar is the strongest that is has been in over a decade, and jobs are coming back to the United States.
None of this was supposed to happen. In fact, our financial system was in such bad shape a year and a half ago that it was being projected that the U.S. would be on the bleeding edge of the next crisis. But instead here we stand safe, prosperous and seemingly secure.
How in the world can we explain this?
What I am about to share with you I have previously shared on national television down at Morningside, but it has been brought to my attention that I have never shared this with my readers on The Economic Collapse Blog. I apologize for this, because the past year and a half doesn’t make any sense until you understand these things.
When people look back at September 2015, they always forget the most critical event. In addition to everything else that was going on that month, France had a UN Security Council resolution all ready to go that would have permanently divided the land of Israel, that would have given formal UN Security Council recognition to a Palestinian state for the very first time, and that would have given East Jerusalem to the Palestinians as the capital of their new state.
The rest of the UN Security Council was ready to go along with the French resolution, but there was just one country standing in the way.
The United States has veto power on the UN Security Council, and so the Obama administration had the power to potentially block the resolution. After carefully considering the matter, the Obama administration decided that it was not the time for such a resolution, and so France never submitted it for a vote.
Just about everything else that Barack Obama did throughout his entire presidency was bad, but in this instance he got something completely right. The decision whether or not to divide the land of Israel was in his hands, and he made the right call.
Once this decision was made, it was almost as if someone hit a “pause button”. None of the bad things that people were forecasting ending up happening, and since that decision America has been blessed compared to the rest of the world.
And this is perfectly consistent with what God said that He would do. Starting in Genesis 12 and continuing all throughout the Scriptures, God promises to bless those that bless Israel and to curse those that curse Israel.
In this case, Barack Obama blessed Israel by preventing the UN Security Council from dividing the land, and so we were blessed as a result.
But of course there have been many other instances over the past several decades when we have been cursed as a nation for attempting to take steps toward the division of the land of Israel. One of the most notable instances took place in 1991 when George H. W. Bush got the Israelis and the Palestinians together for the very first time to discuss the dividing of the land of Israel into two states…
At that conference, the New York Times reported that Bush told Israel that “territorial compromise is essential for peace”. Needless to say, this upset a lot of people…
At the exact same time that conference was going on, the “Perfect Storm” was raging in the North Atlantic. Three major storms merged together, and instead of canceling one another out, they formed the kind of storm that is normally only seen once in a lifetime. If you will remember, Hollywood made a big blockbuster with George Clooney that was based on this storm. This gigantic storm went 1000 miles the wrong direction and slammed directly into the home of George H. W. Bush while he was at the Madrid conference talking about the need to divide the land of Israel…
Another very notable example of this phenomenon came in 2005. At that time, George W. Bush (the son of George H. W. Bush) had convinced Israel that it should pull all of the settlers out of Gaza and turn it entirely over to the Palestinians. According to the New York Times, the last of the settlers was evacuated on August 23, 2005…
On that exact same day, a little storm that came to be known as Hurricane Katrina formed over the Bahamas. It shocked forecasters by turning directly toward New Orleans, and it ultimately became the costliest natural disaster in all of U.S. history up until that time.
There are dozens more examples like this, and men like John McTernan, William Koenig and David Brennan have done a great job documenting them.
Today, 137 nations have already recognized a Palestinian state. The holdouts are mostly in North America and Europe…
France and most of the rest of Europe have been eager and ready to recognize a Palestinian state for quite a while now, but they don’t really want to move forward without the United States.
And of course, they can’t officially do anything at the UN Security Council without U.S. approval.
Barack Obama had been hoping to achieve something through direct negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians, but those totally broke down and there is no hope that there will be any new negotiations any time soon.
So Barack Obama knows that his only shot at “leaving a legacy” in the Middle East is at the United Nations, and earlier this year he said that a UN Security Council resolution that would recognize a Palestinian state was “on the table” for the very first time…
At that time he did not indicate which way that he would go, and although there have been rumblings that something might happen, he has not taken any action yet.
But now time is running out for Obama, because his term is scheduled to end on January 20th. The advocates of a “two state solution” are becoming increasingly desperate, because they know that Donald Trump has already promised not to support a UN Security Council resolution that would divide the land of Israel. So they know that if something is going to be done, it has got to be done now.
A UN Security Council resolution would be legally binding on both the Israelis and the Palestinians, and it would be something that Donald Trump would not be able to undo. Another vote of the UN Security Council would be required to revoke a resolution once it has been passed, and the votes would not be there to do that.
So the next month is absolutely critical. The UN Security Council still has time to take action while Obama is still in office, and we know that such a move is actively being considered. For much, much more on this, please see the following articles that I have recently authored…
-“John Bolton Warns That Obama May Divide The Land Of Israel At The UN Before The Inauguration”
-“The Danger Zone: Why Israel Greatly Fears Barack Obama’s Last Few Months In Office”
-“The New York Times Calls For Obama To Support A UN Resolution That Would Divide The Land Of Israel”
If we can get to January 20th and the land of Israel has not been divided by the UN Security Council and Donald Trump successfully takes office, perhaps our reprieve will be extended for a while.
But if Barack Obama very foolishly allows the land of Israel to be divided at the UN Security Council before January 20th, the “pause button” will be un-paused, our blessing will be turned into a curse, and all hell will break loose in America.

Thanks Michael. I appreciate the alarm that needs to be heard. Here is an event that happened to me a week ago that supports your premise. On Tuesday 12/13/16 I was in a waiting room at a doctors’ office when an interesting looking gentleman sat down across from me. I started up a conversation and before long this man asked me if I knew what the TET Offensive was. I told him I did not. He said he had been a marine in the Delta Company and was on the US embassy roof in Saigon giving cover while files were being destroyed in the building. He told me he was one of five out of the ninety in his platoon that made it home after the war. I commented about how that would make one thankful and grateful to be alive. He agreed. The call came to the see the doctor and as I started to leave he said, “Look up the TET Offensive on the internet, it’s all there.” Since nothing happens by chance to His sons I started asking Father questions. http://adst.org/2013/07/viet-cong-invade-american-embassy-the-1968-tet-offensive/ As I did my research later that day I realized I had a hole in my history. Most of my education had to do with other wars but nothing about Vietnam. I was almost 5 years old on January 30, 1968 when the TET Offensive began and remember my parents watching the nightly news which always seemed to contain footage of the war. Something shifted on that date. The nightly news was our first true taste of reality show TV giving almost 80% of it’s air time to an enemy attack that shocked the American people. We had been told by president Lyndon B. Johnson and General Westmoreland that the war was being won and might… Read more »
Am praying that all hell does *not* break loose. However, if it does, in the name of Jesus I ask it to break loose on all those in the USA who hate Jesus, hate His Word the Bible and hate His true children.
Hard-core pagans (the former ones I have known) received some interesting life situations and and then decided to accept Christ. Not that it always happens this way of course, but often (in my humble opinion) it is needed.
God bless you.
Take a look to my short dream I had a few days ago
https://z3news.com/w/all-eyes-on-wrong-one/#comment-81246
I just don’t see it because Trump was elected. 1 million babies a day been aborted. Same sex marriage. Satanic worshipping of BAAL. Lust for money and power in the pulpit, churches and government. The church sold their souls for 30 piece of gold(501). Hasn’t spoken up about any of the lawless laws OB put in effect. I believe that OB is waiting then he will sign the agreement to divided Jerusalem. The Westcoast earthquakes are picking up. The New Madre is making more noise. ONE MAN CAN’T SAVE MYSTERY BABYLON. I see to many people trying to pray against God’s will and judgement for America. A house that’s divided can not stand. We are on our very last leg. As long as the CHURCH do not repent this reprieve thing is just been float around by those who just don’t truly get JUDGEMENT is here and will began to get stronger. My inner man is telling me to truly increase on my spiritual and physical preparation. Time to focus more on our individual selves and our family and loved ones. Because this country’s time is up………
A POLITICAL SOLUTION CAN’T SOLVE A SPIRITUAL PROBLEM AND AMERICA HAS ONE SERIOUS PROBLEM…….
Well said, Antwon…”trying to pray against G-d’s will”…and your last line is a classic.
I sadly agree. I believe Michael’s right. God keeps His promises, but it was a “pause” as he said. Unless we repent, there’s no alternative but judgement. I still say: until America repents, THERE ARE NO HAPPY DAYS coming!
I don’t think we should be so bold as to claim to know the absolute will of God regarding the destruction of a nation and the timeline for that destruction, that is, unless he reveals the same to us. Even if he does, he is sovereign, and he can change his mind. And he is not duty bound to give us an explanation as to the why. He may give an explanation, but he is obligated to do so. The Israelites deserved to be destroyed in the desert. Yet Moses repeatedly interceded for them. It is not so much that the Israelites didn’t deserve God’s judgment. It is that, in Moses’s intercession, the true nature of his heart was revealed. He interceded repeatedly for the same people who complained about him and grumbled about him and who repeatedly put the Lord to the test. So, Moses was praying against God’s will? To whom was he making that prayer then? And did God stay his judgment (remember God wanted to wipe out all Israel and make Moses’s descendants into a great nation [Exod. 32:9]) on Israel because Israel repented in the desert? What kind of repentance was that where they repeatedly put the Lord to the test, falling from one sin into another? Yes, repentance can stay judgment. But God, in his mercy, can also stay judgment of his own free will. We as believers must not only warn about judgment but also (even more so) pray for our fellow man’s heart to be turned to God in humility and repentance. In other words, pray for the best to happen but also prepare for the worst to happen. All the sins that nations or individuals are guilty of, no matter how strongly we feel about it, are several times more offensive… Read more »
Correction.
The last sentence of the first paragraph should read “He may give an explanation, but he is not obligated to do so.”
Thank you Sujit. Just as Moses prayers’ revealed his heart ❤️, the lack of concern for the lost and the desire for judgment reveals the hearts of many in the church. God help us all, but truly a sifting is coming to the body of Christ. God has people placed in strategic places. They will have the heart of God. It will seem to many as if they came out of no where as God begins to move on them and display his mighty power. As the scripture says I will live in them and walk in them. My love will overflow to the hurting broken hearts. I will bind up their wounds and I will restore the years the locust has consumed through my great army which I shall send among you. 😊
Believe me, Sujit, if I had the witness in my spirit that said it was a reprieve, I would jump at it. I don’t believe things are as they seem–what is really going on? I don’t pretend to know. I really do appreciate your words–as always. I guess it depends on your definition of reprieve. I agree, 2016 hasn’t been as drastic as we thought, at least in America. I’m not sure the rest of the world would agree; but then, in some ways there have been things revealed we had no idea were even there; example: the horrors of child sacrifice and cannibalism. Did this really make an impression–even to most Christians? The children of Israel were eventually judged, and there came a time when God told a Jeremiah to quit praying for the rebellious people. For me, it’s not that I relish or want judgement. I just keep realizing that every day more babies and children are brutally murdered; more children are led astray into perversion…you get my meaning. My cry is “Lord, do what it takes to stop the sin, stop the murder, to bring the lost to you, and wake up your people! And come back, Lord Jesus!”
Judgment is certainly necessary but what I am praying for is that the economic catastrophe occurs before the war. Would be very hard to get the gospel out during war on our soil, but people will be more open once their bread and circus is gone. Praying for this one last chance for revival. The Trump win delayed war but can’t stop the economic crash.
Michael Snyder, begins his article talking about a reprieve and an economic surge based on his observations, not upon any message from the Lord. Then his message turns to what I think is the real message, ie., Will Obama sign the UN Resolution dividing Israel into two states during his remaining weeks in office. Since Obama has only a very sad legacy to leave behind as things stand and considering his strong Muslim ties, this a real possibility and just may be the trigger that starts serious birth pangs or travail not only for Israel but the world. There are three warnings in scripture not to divide Israel’s land and we know what the repercussions were when we pressured Israel to create a Palestinian state in the past. Forget talk about reprieve and prepare ye the way for the Lord.
Amen Bob , folks don’t count your chickens before they hatch .
I Thessalonians 5:3
…For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape…
^ I’m telling you, the U.S. right now is in this exact position.
I saw a brief news report last night of the DOW just about hitting the milestone of 20,000. And people, left and right, and cheering and celebrating Trump’s EC win and looking forward to the future (God choosing Trump to lead this nation, notwithstanding).
But…
How many are giving that glory to God? And more importantly — how many have repented from their sins?
– – – – – – –
It’s all lining up. The prophets on Z3. Peoples’ dream warnings. My dream warnings, etc. etc.
We need to be ready!
there have been a few people who have prophesied that when the dow hits 20000 it is the end. i.e. the markets will fall soon after and the economy will fall apart.
Great article Michael
Highly valuable
This calls for prayer … as America must not relax now and think everything will be ok. You should launch a prayer day, to pray President Trump makes the right decisions on everything his entire 4 to 8 years.
Let me also Chime in!!! This was well said….and I agree that its the only reason God would have delayed our chastisement………Biblical Prophecy always gets back to the Nation of Yisrael…..not America…………….As I was reading this article-and as he mentioned the reason for the delay being Yisrael……..I just “knew”……this was the right answer. And so we wait now for BHO to either mess us over or let someone else do it. BHO has just pardoned and released so many criminals……he is capable of anything and everything that’s unrighteous………30 days left……..
Can America survive?
Steven, I agree, Bible prophesy is primarily about Israel. The birth pangs and travail lead up to the birth of the 144,000 Jews followed by the whole nation “born in a day” when they see the holes in Christ’s hands at His second advent, Zech.13:6; Isa.66:7,8: Jer.30:6,7. Then “all Israel will be saved”, Rom.11:26. Paul, the apostle of the gentiles, tells the Church, We are not appointed unto wrath and to comfort one another with these words, 1Thes.5:9,11. Christians are citizens of Heaven which is peace, joy and righteousness in the Holy Spirit. If you don’t have peace you need to focus more on Jesus. He will have perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him, the author and finisher of our faith.
Reprieve? I think the church might be a little blinded here. Many that I know of in church have looked at Trump as the savior…..he’s elected….now we are all breathing a sigh of relief…..as if things won’t be so bad. Could it be that what is about to befall us is so great that it would take someone of Trumps caliber to guide us through it? Maybe we got Trump because of God’s mercy. Think back….we got GWB instead of Gore…then 9/11 took place. Did not Gore win the popular vote while GWB won the electoral? Bring us to 2016…..same situation…..I cannot imagine Gore bringing us through 9/11…..today….I cannot see Clinton bringing us through what could be about to happen.
I am late to receiving this on my timeline, but here is a word from Jeremiah Johnson, from Behold The Man Ministries ( http://beholdthemanministries.com/ ). He is the one who Prophesied in July 2015, Donald Trump would be a bull in a china shop. He is from the same city as me. I am putting this out there because this post is discussing reprieve. 11/6/16 PROPHETIC DREAM: BABY DONALD TRUMP I received a prophetic dream where a baby with the face of Donald Trump was handed to a mother in a church nursery. The mother took Donald and began to rock him in the nursery and weep. She began singing over baby Donald, “You have a crooked way in you, but through the intercession of the Church, God will change you.” She sang this over and over again. I woke up from the dream and the Holy Spirit spoke many things to me. Here are a few prophetic insights: 1. Could God be giving Donald Trump to the Church as a gift, entrusting Him to our faithful prayers and intercession? 2. Donald Trump DOES have a crooked way in Him, and the Church must not be blind to this truth. (At best, he is a baby Christian) 3. We must not stop praying when the elections are over, this prophetic dream is permission to engage the Holy Spirit regarding Donald Trump for the years ahead. Also, The BTM team has sent out this announcement regarding tomorrow, and new prophetic words he has been given from the Lord. 12/20/16 Behold The Man Ministries Dear Partners and Friends, Jeremiah will complete his 30 day fast this Thursday, December 22nd and has asked us to let those who connect with him here know that He will be doing a LIVE video UPDATE for… Read more »
Matt,
Thank you for putting this out there. There is certainly a difference of opinion in the church concerning Trump. I believe this dream reveals so much. It really isn’t Donald Trump that’s going to maneuver us through this time we are abought to face. It is the Lord himself in response to our prayers. We as the body of Christ are the answer for our nation because it is through our prayers that heaven prevails. Many years ago the Lord gave me a dream in which there were two angelic messengers and the message was very simple, ” the church of Jesus Christ through prayer will not fail.” That’s where we’re at. It’s time to put up our toys of programs and seminars and church functions and pull out the true weapons of our warfare, if we don’t do this we might as well just lay down and roll over.
Amen Lydia!
I agree Lydia.. 3 of the biggest problems I see in the body of Christ.
1. Fatalism- People think there is no hope, and God only forgives sins that person cherry picks. My Bible says, God forgives every sin, but 2. Blaspheming the Holy Spirit, and taking mark of the beast. So, they say why bother?. Even Donald Trump can be saved.
2. The next problem I see is a growing number of Christians will put out a warning call (Prophecy, Watchman, vision, dream), and they do not know what to do next when someone heeds the warning, and furthermore, a growing number of people secretly hope in their heart folks don’t heed the warning, just so they can say “I told you so.”
Case and point: warn people “x event” will happen next Tuesday, IF people don’t pray and/or fast. And when people start praying and/or fasting, several of the people warning, from the time the warning was given, up until next Tuesday, start saying things like “It will happen. God will not hear our prayers.” and Tuesday comes with “x event” not happening, several of these people warning get upset, and condemn people for heeding the warning.
3. The third thing I see is a growing number of people don’t seek God for themselves. And furthermore, a growing number of people get mad when other people do seek God, and when God gives them a different answer they get even more mad.
This is why I believe strongly prayers do work. It has worked with the election. God answered my prayers and many others, not allowing WW3, Martial Law, and Obama/Hillary not to come to fruition this year. Doesn’t mean we are out of the woods, but it still proves the Good Lord answers prayers.
Good points, Matt Smith…I, too, believe strongly that prayers do work. I and others prayed last night that Russia would not retaliate tit-for-tat, escalate, and throw 35 US diplomats out of their country – the way that we (unjustly) treated their diplomats and to our amazement not only did Russia’s President take the high road, but Vladimir Putin congratulated “U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, and the American people on the New Year and invited the children of US diplomats to a holiday celebration at the Kremlin.”
Proverbs 15:1 “A soft answer turns away wrath…”

Sephora here is a word from Jeremiah Johnson given in Dec 2016. He talks about Trump and Russia. And more about his previous dreams
http://beholdthemanministries.com/2017-prophetic-word-trump-presidency-increasing-polarization-church/
Thanks, Matt Smith…you have done a mitzvah, by sharing that link…It was the intel on Russia that confirmed something the L-rd has laid on my heart. I, and a writer that I have great respect for (even when we disagree), Stephen Lendman, consider Russia’s president to be a true mensch. In your link, Jeremiah Johnson states: “The last prophetic dream God gave me was the spiritual awakening that is coming to Russia and how underneath Putin’s reign, the Spirit of God will begin to move among the Russian saints at unprecedented levels.”
Carol had a vision while praying, she saw Obama caught in a huge spiderweb that was attached and connected around the whole world. He was the spider in the center, and he was bound in chains and unable to do anything. Carol had the impression that the points of the web were waiting for Obama to make the move, but he couldn’t because he was chained by our prayers. She also had the impression that the next week and beyond would still require prayers to keep him immobile, which the Lord confirmed.
We are praying greatly now that Obama does not start WW3. Please join, not being distracted by Christmas.
Should we not pray that Thy will be done and if these prophetic events are going to happen, the sooner the better. Come Lord Jesus! Personally, I want this corrupt age to end.
