Some World News In Relation to Biblical Prophecy ── June 10

In recent months, a growing sentiment among investors has emerged, leading to the coining of the acronym ABUSA, which stands for “Anywhere But U.S.A.” Sadly, this is the attitude that is more and more related to trading with the U.S.A. (See: Secsense.ai - The Ditch-America Trade Now Has Its Own Acronym: ABUSA). As well as, The Wall Street Journal - The Ditch-America Trade Now Has Its Own Acronym: ABUSA). ‘Anywhere But U.S.A.’ poses questions: Are U.S. markets in a long, painful decline or was American exceptionalism overdone?

The international investment community is becoming nervous about the United States of America. So much so that a new acronym has emerged ──

June 3, 2025

If you haven’t heard of ABUSA yet, you’re about to. It’s the latest buzzword shaking up the investing world — and it stands for “Anywhere But the USA.” With U.S. economic uncertainty and unpredictable trade policies making headlines, investors are quietly but decisively shifting their money to international markets. Spoiler alert: It’s not just a fad.

The Shocking Surge Away from U.S. Markets

Global equities outside the U.S. have surged approximately 11% in dollar terms, reaching record highs — while U.S. stocks have mostly been treading water. Why? Because the once rock-solid confidence in the American market is cracking.

That uncertainty is real. Frequent changes in trade policies and fiscal decisions have investors questioning whether the U.S. market can keep delivering strong returns — especially when valuations here are sky-high compared to other regions.

Indeed, TARIFFS.

Tariffs are as old as the United States itself. In 1789, the Tariff Act became one of the new nation’s first laws, designed to raise revenue and shield fledgling industries from British competition. … The most infamous tariff episode came with the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, signed by President Herbert Hoover during the onset of the Great Depression. Initially aimed at protecting farmers, it ballooned into a 20% average increase on thousands of goods. Canada, France, and others retaliated, slashing U.S. exports by 61% by 1933 and exacerbating the economic collapse. Hoover’s misstep cost him the 1932 election, and his successor, Franklin D. Roosevelt, pivoted to the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934, negotiating bilateral deals …

This last article went on to say that “Historically, U.S. presidents have approached trade wars with varying degrees of caution and aggression. … Trump’s 2025 tariffs, the highest in a century per Fitch Ratings, risk a cascade of economic and geopolitical consequences.” So, truly ── as much as I love the word “tariff” as does President Donald Trump ── tariffs, sanctions, economic threats from the Trump Administration is pushing nations further away from investing in the U.S.A.

The LORD God cautions nations that try to apply the old proverb, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” And we can easily think of Qatar and Syria ── 

“How lonely sits the city That was full of people! How like a widow is she, Who was great among the nations! The princess among the provinces Has become a slave! 2) She weeps bitterly in the night. Her tears are on her cheeks; Among all her lovers She has none to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; They have become her enemies.” – Lamentations 1:1-2. 

But also, it’s more than just investors who are wary of the U.S.A. The European Central Bank (ECB), along with others in Europe, is continuing to push aside the US dollar and shine a light on the Euro, and working at becoming completely independent from the U.S.A. Notice ──

Euro versus dollar 

ECB President Lagarde believes the euro could play a ‘greater international role’ at the expense of a weakening dollar. EU Commission President von der Leyen calls for ‘European independence’ from the US. 

Thanks to the recent weakness of the US dollar, the euro could “play a greater international role” as it gains importance in the global financial system. This view is being advanced by Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank (ECB). As Lagarde stated last week, the US dollar’s share of global currency reserves has fallen to 58 per cent, the lowest since 1994.

Now, we have warned of “digital currency” coming many times also, i.e. ── 

The Gateway Pundit reports: 

Tucker Carlson Goes There: “If People Don’t Start Making a Lot of Noise – It Will Mean Digital Currency… If You Want to Make a Run on the Banks This Is How You Talk”      

And, again, we stress that digital currency is NOT the prophesied ‘mark of the beast.’

Indeed, the USA has been looking into having a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)! And, indeed, this will increase government control and loss of freedom. 

As I mentioned before, the Lego Land theme park in Winter Haven, Florida,  is cashless! And this trend will grow in the coming years! Notice that one of the prophetic events to watch for is: The rising trend of a ‘no cash’ society will increase, and eventually, the United States of America will become a whole cashless society. 

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS WORLD!? 

(Letter to our Friends – March 21, 2023). 

Psst! There’s no secret that the Europeans have long wanted the euro to push out the US dollar as the reserve currency. Truly, that was the reason they developed the euro in the first place. Also, ReArm Europe is taking military steps ── 

ReArm Europe Plan/ Readiness 2030: the plan to finance EU defence

€800 billion amount Member States aim to mobilise under the ReArm Europe Plan/ Readiness 2030 to finance a massive ramp-up of defence spending …

It will achieve this by:

• activating the national escape clause of the Stability and Growth Pact, …
• launching a EUR 150 billion loan instrument - Security Action for Europe (SAFE) 
• Supporting the European Investment Bank Group in widening the scope of its lending to defence and security projects

Sadly, the US dollar, as the world’s premier reserve currency is on the way out, and the grave damage to the US economy is far greater than what most politicians even realize. The Trump Administration is straining relations between the U.S. and Europe.

And certainly, many believe that this European strengthening and military autonomy will not affect the great and powerful United States of America! I once had a friend scream at me, saying, “Are you crazy? Don’t you know how powerful the U.S.A. is!?” Well… according to the LORD God, it is something to be ‘watching.’ EUROPE will one day reorganize and unite ──

“’ The TEN HORNS which you saw are TEN KINGS who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13) These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.’” – Revelation 17:12-13.

And, this final “United States of Europe” ── or, whatever name they will go by ── will have a mighty military (Daniel 11:25), with many ships (Daniel 11:40), and will eventually conquer “the strongest fortresses with a foreign god” (Daniel 11:39), and will end Western dominance. 

NOTE: Scientists release plans for an even bigger atom smasher!   

Also in world news ── Since our Lord Jesus was recorded as saying, “ ‘The time is fulfilled, …’” (Mark 1:15), this world has had wars and rumors of wars. And, if President Donald Trump holds to his ‘red line,’ Iran is about to face the fury of the Israeli/American military strength. And, if President Vladimir Putin holds to his retaliatory threat, Ukraine is about to face his ultimate wrath. Plus, concerning China, our Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is warning that China is posing an “imminent” threat to Taiwan. (See: FDD’s Long War Journal - Iran’s armed forces escalate threats as Khamenei rejects latest US proposal). I speak of this also in “Wars and Rumors of Wars” 

Netherlands ── the Dutch government has collapsed after Geert Wilders’ far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) withdrew from the ruling coalition (See: Time - Dutch Government Collapses After Right-Wing Leader Wilders Walks Out).

THE HAGUE, June 3 (Reuters) – The Dutch government collapsed on Tuesday, most likely ushering in a snap election, after anti-Muslim politician Geert Wilders quit the right-wing coalition, accusing other parties of failing to back his tougher immigration policies. … 

PVV ministers will quit the cabinet, leaving the others to continue as a caretaker administration until an election unlikely to be held before October. Frustration with migration and the high cost of living is boosting the far right and widening divisions in Europe. 

(Read more… https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/dutch-far-right-leaderwilders-quits-government-coalition-nos-2025-06-03/). 

There is growing a greater concern in Europe about halting and even reversing Islamic immigration. And this is not just some extreme Right-wing view, more and more people are beginning to support candidates that swing “Right.” 

And it’s not just the Netherlands, it’s many more European countries! Notice, here are a few ──

» Zero Hedge ── “Migrants Will Soon Be The Powerful” - German Broadsheet Causes Uproar With Immigration Article (2023)

» The National Pulse ── EU Chief Talks ‘Tough’ on Deportation (2025) 

» Zero Hedge ── Switzerland Achieves Highest Deportation Rate In Europe In 2024 (2025)

Indeed, a greater number of European countries are seeing grave issues with the problem of immigration. 

God’s living word, however, does say that complete and cohesive unity will be an issue with a final “United States of Europe” ──  

“’ Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42) And as the TOES of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43) As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.’” – Daniel 2:41-43. 

It is going to take a strong and cunning European leader to make a “United Europe” even relatively strong. 

Europe will not remain much longer as it is. God’s living word shows us that Europe will reorganize and power will be given to an end-time European civic and military leader ── cf. Revelation 17:12-13. An end-time leader that the LORD God calls a “beast.” And he will ultimately push Islamic immigrants out of Europe! The sentiment in Europe is not pro-Islam. Geert Wilders is hardly alone in this.  □
