Has Ezekiel 7:19 started to happen? Ezekiel 7:19 (NET), “They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the LORD’s fury. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth was the obstacle leading to their iniquity.” As we see the monetary system failing, might Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, or investments be able to provide for my family?

The only safe haven in the day of the LORD’s wrath will be to have faith in God. Zephaniah 2:3 (RSV), “Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who do his commands; seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the wrath of the LORD.”

Remember how the Lord provided for Elijah? Elijah told sinful King Ahab that Israel would not have dew nor rain for three and one half years. There was a severe drought. However, Elijah loved and obeyed God. God told His prophet, “‘Depart from here…and hide yourself by the brook Cherith,…You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” …  (when the brook dried up, God said,) 9 ‘Arise, go to Zar’ephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you.’” 1 Kings 17:3-4, 9 (RSV)

Jesus exhorted the Jews to “Have faith in God.’” Mark 11:22

If you feel as though you need more faith, ask God to increase your faith. James wrote, “Submit yourselves therefore to God…Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” James 4:7-8 (ESV)

God’s wrath will demolish all the unjust and corrupt systems on Earth.  But this will prepare mankind for the establishment of Christ’s kingdom on Earth. “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth…”

Isaiah 2:17-22 (NIV), 17 “The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day, 18 and the idols will totally disappear. 19 People will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth. 20 In that day people will throw away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold (symbolic of trusting in money) which they made to worship. 21 They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the overhanging crags from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth. 22 Stop trusting in mere humans,…”

As the psalmist David wrote, “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him;…” Psalm 91:14-15 (ESV).
