I don't necessarily agree with every detail, such as the October 1987 
stock market crash being caused by Christians marching in London, but 
Labor MP James Bidgood seems to understand the "perfect storm" facing 
the Earth, as we move towards the End Times....

Global financial crisis an 'act of God'

James Bidgood, who is already facing criticism for selling photographs 
of a protester threatening to set himself alight outside Parliament House, 
appears in a DVD arguing that God is punishing the world with recession, 
rising unemployment and economic instability.

In the undated speech, reported by the Australian newspaper, he says that
Christian marches in London caused the October 1987 stock market crash.

"When Christians pray, God does things", he said. "In 1987
there was another
march for Jesus. That took place in April. And guess what happened in October 
1987? The stock market crashed. All property values lost one third of their 
value and over a million people lost their homes."

Mr Bidgood, a Labor MP from the state of Queensland, went on to say God 
has played a role in the current economic downturn.

"I believe what is happening today is as much to do with God in economics
bringing judgment.

"I believe there is God's justice in action in what is going on here. 
We haven't seen the end of it."

Mr Bidgood then warned the world was ending.

"I believe that there is God's justice in action in what's going on here 
and we haven't seen the end of it," he said.

"The ultimate conclusion is like I say we look at Bible prophesy we're 
going toward a one-world bank and a one-world monetary system and if 
you believe the word of God and you read Revelations ... you will see 
clearly what's being spelt out and we are in the end times."
