Blessed are the poor in spirit

Matt 5:3 " Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

The nations that were known to be very rich like US, England and Greece are going through financial crisis and on the verge of going broke.

Why is this happening?

God is shaking the heavens and the earth and all that can be shaken will be shaken. He is causing the financial system of the world to collapse.
These nations once put their trust and faith in God. They were once God fearing and God blessed them greatly.

But now they have turned their backs on God. They are trusting in their own might and wisdom. They think they are rich and they don't need God. They have become godless!

In Revelation Chapter 3
14 "And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,
'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:
15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.
16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
17 Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing' --- and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked ---18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." ' "

May these nations humble themselves and turn back to God and pray to Him and honour Him! LORD HAVE MERCY!
