F INANCIAL S ECURITY IN THE L AST D AYS

Muslims to accept the new coinage as the official coin of the Islamic nations. In brief, many apocalyptic Muslims who hold traditions concerning the last days believe there will be a worldwide economic crisis in which all paper money will be useless. The only money of value will be money minted using gold and silver. Many speculate this is one reason why the gold and silver prices have risen by so much in a short time. In early 2003 the price of gold and silver was rising; but after the invasion of Iraq, the price increased by about thirty percent. There was no explanation for this, since the stock market was rising, the jobless rate was decreasing, and the economy was improving. Why did this happen?

Intelligence research indicates that Muslims are now telling fellow Muslim businessmen to purchase as much gold as possible and get an edge on the market.

How could this currency be secured if there are many governments using the same currency that would be printed by the International Monetary Fund or a special World Bank? The answer would be to place a gold standard behind the global currency. In my travels I have heard rumors circulating that are not commonly reported by the national media. Let me share some things that could happen in the future, and say why gold and silver (Dan. 11:43) will become significant during the future tribulation. It is possible that nations such as India, China and Russia may place their own currencies or a new global currency on a gold standard. America would participate in this system, using either gold or perhaps a silver standard to back
