First of all what is the Shmita, and what does it have to do with anything, especially something as devastating as the next Great Depression? Just like we are commanded to rest on the 7th day from work, the same command was given to Israel on every 7th year. The Shmita year starts every 7th year on Elul 29 on the Biblical Calendar on the Feast of Trumpets. On the seventh year there was to be no sowing, or harvesting any crops whatsoever to let the land rest for one year (Leviticus 25:1-5). Also, on the seventh year, all debts were to be forgiven (Deuteronomy 15:1-11). Adonai addresses the problem of how people were to survive if they couldn’t harvest any food when He says in Leviticus 25:21-22, “I will order My [special] blessing for you in the sixth year, so that it will produce [sufficient] crops for three years. When you are sowing the eighth year, you can still eat old things from the crops, eating the old until the ninth year when its crop comes in.”
there has been a very consistent pattern since the Shmita(Shabbat) year of 1966 with every successive Shmita year resulting in a financial recession and/or downturn in the United States (and in the world by extension), a judgement against the nation(s).
[…]
Even since the United States began taking a leading global role post WW1, there have been economic crisis on Shmita (Shabbat) years in the United States in 1930-31, and in 1937-38, then in 1944-45 the U.S. began to assume the role of the world’s money lender after the fall of the British, French, and German Empires collectively.
However, since 1966, every single Shmita Year has seen a recession or drastic downturn in the U.S. Economy the has almost every single time had drastic effects on the world economy
[…]
If you have been doing the math, we are due for the next one in 2021-2022 with the next Shmita year starting on September 6, 2021 and ending September 25, 2022. The initial question might be, when will the market crash, and how bad will it be? Firstly, The answer to exactly when can vary greatly, but there is definitely a clear correlation between the Shmita and the last 8 recessions at least. When we examine when the last 8 recessions/economic downturns have begun and ended we find the results vary in relation to the beginning and end of the Shmita Year. These are the trends for each recession since 1966 in relation to the Shmita Year:
· In 1966the recession began 6 months before the Shmita year began, and in 1973, 9 months before, but in each case the beginning of the Schmita year was at the bottom of the curve when the crash was at its worst.
· In 1980, the Shmita began at the end of one recession and brought in the beginning of the other.
· In 1987, 1 month after the beginning of the Shmita year the collapse happened abruptly.
· In 1994 the beginning of the Shmita Year was at the tail end of the Bond Market crash that had begun a couple of months earlier.
· In 2000-2001 when the dot com bubble burst, the stock market had already been in free fall for 6 months when the the Shmita year began, and finally hit rock bottom one month after the end of the Shmita year.
· In 2007-2008 the market was at its all time high 1 month after the beginning of the Shmita Year and came crashing down hard on the very same day as the last day of the Shmita year.
· In 2015 the DOW began dropping sharply just 2 months before the end of the Shmita Year.

1987 (SHMITA YEAR)

Note: September 23, 1987 was Elul 29 and the Stock market plunged overnight on October 19, but recovered quickly due to the quick response of the Federal Reserve to throw a lot of money at the problem thereby creating confidence in the market and giving money to the people who caused the crash to pay off their debts.

Note: By September 5, 1994 (Elul 29) The Federal reserve had raised the rates of Bonds to 4.75% then to 5.5% in November which nobody expected, and because bonds are traded in futures markets and the rates were not expected to go up so quickly there was a huge net loss by the major investors. Everything else returned to normal quickly however due to the fact that the big hedge funds and financial institutions had grown complacent and greedy.

So Far…

· Abortion now completely funded by tax payer money whether you like it or not.

· Transexuals can now compete in women’s sports.

· Stock market at an all time high and even more stimulus soon to be dumped into the economy even further inflating the multiple bubbles in the stock market.

· At this rate the next great Depression will happen next leading to a global reset of the financial system similar to the Bretton Woods system in 1948.

Getting up to date statistics globally for the period of the CCP Virus is very difficult, but there is no doubt that this is unprecedented in history when every country is shut down for such a long period of time, and the effects on the economy are in every sector around the world at a degree that makes the Great Depression look small in comparison.

Conclusion

As every nation suffers economically through the CCP Virus crisis, the very global financial system itself is in shambles, and many say we are due for a global reset so to speak. What that will look like exactly we cannot say, although there are clues and hints, but what is certain is that the whole world is going to be effected in an even greater way very soon, and we need to be ready to weather the storm victoriously through Yeshua with His special blessing of this sixth year as we head into the 7th
