Rats Can Feel Regret; How About Us and the Economy?

An interesting study at the University of Minesota suggested rats can regret food choices when they looked back at food they didn’t wait for.

A physician friend said, “This is a rat race and I’m one of the rats!” He was thinking of his work schedule but it also suggests a parallel to rats.

Regading regret, the Bible says, Rich men [will] weep and howl, for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted…Your gold and silver cankered..You have heaped treasure for the last days,” James 5:1-3, King James. 

The reference to “the last days” might make some wonder how relevant the Bible is. How about 2008 when the new moon was in the sky as the US Senate approved $760 billion on the eve of October 1 and the stock market crashed for 10 days. In Bible times, they blew trumpets for those 10 days till the Day of Atonement, Leviticus 23:24-28. It was a biblical parallel to Revelation 8:7 which suggests economic collapse on the Feast of Trumpets because, when the first trumpet blows, “all grass is burnt up.”

It decodes to the economy because when we compare passages, “as the flower of the grass, so shall the rich man fade,” James 1:9-11 King James. This doesn’t mean they die—they just aren’t rich any more.

This year that timeframe (Feast of Trumpets, new moon crescent) occurs September 26. Black Friday?

An ebook titled October 7 was expectant of economic crash last year, and though no crash occurred, the government was shut down on that date, suggesting sign quality. Warning for this year? Readers interested in further information may visit http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ET80D6K
