Roundtable Discussion – Bank of Japan ends negative rates and Francis Scott Key bridge collapses

Bank of Japan

We have our eye on this latest BOJ rate hike which happened last week and ended the last central bank to scrap negative yields (institutions get paid interest to borrow). Why? Because it portends a setup like we had in 2007, whereby the BOJ raises rates prematurely again. Because the Yen carry trade is still “on” in the hedge fund macro world.

A Sign?

Breaking News – Francis Scott Key bridge collapses in Baltimore

Container ship name: Dali (named after Salvador Dali, the Spanish surrealism artist)

The ship belongs to Singapore-based Grace Ocean Pte Ltd, which is owned by a Hong Kong group, and was carrying containers on behalf of Danish shipping giant Maersk. Synergy Marine, the Singapore company that operates the Dali.

Prophetic Take

Bridge collapse

The Civil War was fought in the state of Maryland. The FSK bridge actually bridges the North to the South in so far as slavery was concerned (South Maryland held the most slaves and was the most sympathetic toward the Confederacy).

The container ship represents commerce and consumerism and economy. Is it a sign of that our outsized consumerism and 24/7 greed for increased commerce lead to collapsing the fragile unity we have today among races, religions and political ideology in the USA?

The fragility of things…apparently dirty fuel was what caused the engines of the container ship to fail, and thus the propulsion and electricity to also fail. The margins for error both in the ship size, and in the bridge construction ended up in complete collapse of the bridge. It reminds me of the World Trade towers collapsing in NYC – how the total collapse was surprising. In the same way, you can see through video how the entire span of the bridge failed when the ship struct just one stanchion of the bridge. Fragile. Likewise, is our peace and unity between parties and factions very fragile and can be brought down by the smallest of calamities? And if we had a big fissure, how bad could it get?

Is this bridge collapsing a sign of coming civil war?

Rick Joyner had a dream about a coming second civil war in the US. You can read it here: https://a.co/d/aAqW6iH. One of the things mentioned on page 36 is this:

In 1987, I was shown in a prophetic experience that we had been turning to the left as a nation for a long time. I was also shown a coming sharp turn to the left. I was not shown whether this was good or bad, just that it would happen. I was then shown a reaction to this and a turn back to the right. I saw that we would never again make a sharp turn to the left, but there was a danger we would go too far to the right.

Rick Joyner, Second American Revolutionary War, page 36

In fact, Fort Carroll – a hexagonal fort build between 1848-1852 was built by none other than Robert E. Lee, then a Colonel in the US Army.

Dali

Ship named after Salvador Dali the surrealism artist – are we in a period of surrealism when it comes to economic strength? Market highs? Optimism is low, but yet everything is at peak valuations – real estate, bitcoin, gold, stocks, etc.

Dali is a hunting goddess in Georgian mythology. Are we in the age of the gods (Johnathan Cahn’s book – Return of the gods) – which is to say the worship of false gods? Are we in the age of the hunter to bring God’s people back to Him through times of difficulty (and God’s people back to Israel according to Jeremiah 16:16)?

Jeremiah Johnson’s Prophetic Take:

The body of Christ is called to be “bridge builders” according to John 17:

I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

John 17:23

And a house divided cannot stand…

Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand

Matthew 12:25
