90% of the world makes less than $1 a day. If we go belly up the other 10% of the world becomes like the 90%. I don't want to go through that but it isn't anything that the large majority of the world hasn't been dealing with for thousands of years. We have a tendency to see ourselves as more important than the rest of the world in end times prophecy when we are people just like any other. There is little doubt America will become less prominent as we near end times and other nations like Russia , China and the Middle Eastern countries will be the big players on the world stage.
