In Daniel 2 we are told of a dream that King Nebuchadnezzar had of a statue that represented all of the present and future empires of man that would rise on the earth. At the end of the dream a little stone strikes the feet of this statue and it crumbles. The little stone then grows into a mountain, and keeps growing until it covers the whole earth. This was an accurate foretelling of how history would unfold in this age. At the end of this age all of the empires of men will crumble, but...

         The most successful investment strategy is buy low, sell high. Would you like to buy a stock that could not go down, and is guaranteed to keep increasing in value forever?

         The world is being brought to the “Valley of Decision” where all will have to choose between the light and darkness, good and evil, truth and lies. We are in the times that will separate the wheat from the chaff, and the nations as sheep or goats.  

         It is not just the U.S. that is headed for civil war. All of the social fault lines in civilization are having tremors, and we can expect increasing divisions with these social earthquakes. At the same time the greatest unity will be coming to...

         Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an intellectual giant of his time. Considered the founder of psychoanalysis, his research and theories helped popularize the study of mental function and disorders, and began to lift them out of the medical dark ages. His formulation of the id, the ego, and the superego gave science a paradigm for evaluating mental function.
