Nobody likes bad news. The old adage about killing the messenger because you don't like the message is as true today as it ever was. And so to write a book which states on the cover that you must prepare for an inevitable economic disaster seems both sensationalistic and irrational. Yet in the 15 years that Pastor Ray Young has been researching this matter, he has become more and more convinced that absolutely nothing can prevent what is about to happen to America, the church and the world. He does not ask you to accept this statement at face value, but rather to be like the Bereans in the Book of Acts, who listened carefully and rationally to what Paul had to say, and then searched the Scriptures themselves to see if those things were true. Many years ago, the Lord gave him an interesting motto. "I have the revelation by inspiration, but the confirmation by investigation". He urges you to do the same. Follow with him as he walks you through both the Holy Scriptures and clearly documented economic facts in order to discover one of the most amazing and frightening warnings hidden in the pages of the Bible. And then, together, you can draw your own logical and prayerful conclusions about what this implies for America today, the church in its current moral condition and the world at large, all centering around how The Ultimate Crash is going to trigger The Final Great Awakening, which will in turn bring about The Tribulation, The Great Tribulation, and finally, last but certainly not least, The Rapture. For a decade and a half, the Lord has been pouring into Pastor Ray a vast array of revelation, knowledge and insight into matters political, economic and spiritual, and it is now time for him to in turn pour this knowledge into you, our dear readers and friends. Above all else, as we journey through this amazing and frightening world of tomorrow, remember that Jesus promised that He would never leave us or forsake us, but would be with us to the end of the age. That end is upon us, and He has shown Pastor Ray the sequence of events which must take place beginning in the very near future. There is a lot to chew on and pray about in this book. It is not a "how to be healthy, wealthy and wise in 7 easy steps" booklet. Rather, it is a prayerful, thoughtful, detailed explanation of what is about to happen and what you must do in order to be prepared to survive until His Sign lights up the sky from east to west. Please do not be deceived into thinking that the church will escape this time of difficulty and hardship unscathed. That is a Pollyanna dream which Pastor Ray once held himself. But extensive research into the Word of God, analyzing the Revelation of Jesus Christ and all supportive Scripture and repeated exposure to our brothers and sisters in the 3rd World has convinced Pastor Ray that we are simply kidding ourselves in America about avoiding the period of time known as the Tribulation. In fact, according to the Revelation timeline laid down by Jesus Himself, we will have to endure both the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation. Don't believe us? That's OK. All Pastor Ray asks is that you set aside your prejudices and predispositions and walk with him through the facts as presented in this book. Then, at the end of the journey, we will see if you still hold fast to your original thoughts on the matter. Some of this material is deep and technical. It will take some careful reading and re-reading to understand. But Pastor Ray has written this book not as some scholarly work intended to sit on some dusty shelf somewhere, but rather as a book that the average believer could take in hand and understand. The knowledge and understanding that you will garner as you read, study and meditate upon the truths found in this book will change your life forever, and enable you to walk in such a manner as to be prepared to endure, for Christ Himself said in Matthew Chapter 24 that he who endures to the end shall be saved.
