I have been reporting on the black swans for many months. The first one landed in China, causing the collapse of Evergrande and other major real estate companies. I then reported: “The black swans are now circling Japan.”

The black swans landed in Japan on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, after the Bank of Japan raised interest rates in order to stop the yen from steady collapse. Low interest rates drops the value of the currency; higher interest rates drops the stock markets.

TOKYO (AP) — The Bank of Japan raised its key interest rate Wednesday to about 0.25% from a range of zero to about 0.1%, acting to curb the yen’s slide against the U.S. dollar.
The move was widely expected, and the yen gained sharply against the dollar ahead of and after Wednesday’s decision, trading below 152 yen. Concerns have been deepening about the yen’s recent drop to 160-yen levels to the dollar. That hurts an economy that imports almost all its oil, as well as other items like food.
To the average person, this is quite meaningless, but to large institutions doing what is called “carry trade,” this was a huge disruption that destroyed their profits. Stock markets around the world tumbled. Last Monday the Dow fell more than 1000 points.
The New York Times commented on the market crashes.

Over the past week, markets tumbled as fears ricocheted around the world about the health of the U.S. economy, tech sector and more. No market bore the brunt as much as Japan.
A key Japanese stock index, starting last Thursday, experienced its most severe two- and three-day trading drops since the 1950s — declines that analysts said could not be fully explained by the same factors affecting other countries.
However, the black swans were hunted down. One was caged, the other escaped and seems to be flying toward Europe.
These events all point to the collapse (overthrow) of Mystery Babylon. The collapse is primarily happening through its financial system, which is the lifeblood of Babylon. Yet keep in mind that when the original city of Babylon was overthrown, it was taken intact by the Medes and Persians, who did not need to destroy its walls or burn the city to the ground. It was more of a change of management from Belshazzar to Cyrus the Persian and Darius the Mede.
These were the original “kings from the east” (Revelation 16:12). A new set of kings are now arising, according to Revelation 16:12. The angel of God has released them and commissioned them to overthrow Mystery Babylon today. Cyrus was a type of messiah (Isaiah 45:1), and Darius reorganized the Babylonian kingdom into 120 provinces with Daniel as the chief governor—all without knowing how they were fulfilling their role in the plan of God. So again the new kings from the east (primarily Russia and China but also Iran/Persia) are repeating the pattern of prophecy.
This is why the West considers Russia, China, and Iran to be their enemies. They do not know that they are fighting nations that the angel of God has released upon them.
Once again, the city will fall intact by forces representing “Cyrus” the Messiah. The kingdoms of this world, which have been controlled by Babylon, will become the Kingdom of Christ. In other words, the nations will be set free from the slavery of Babylon. They will be redeemed in a very real financial way. But if you study the laws of redemption, you will see that redemption of a slave simply transfers ownership from the slaveholder to the redeemer (Leviticus 25:43, 53).
This includes the command not to rule them “with severity.” In other words, the purpose of redemption is to show them how Jesus Christ would rule them. Whereas men rule by their own self-interest, Jesus has their best interests in mind. The law reminds us too that all who are redeemed are ultimately God’s servants and not merely our own. Leviticus 25:42 43 says,
42 For they are My servants, whom I brought out from the land of Egypt [i.e., slavery to men]; they are not to be sold in a slave sale. 43 You shall not rule over him with severity, but are to revere your God.
So Japan is now being redeemed, and the black swan is the angel of God. The world financial system will not collapse all at once but will fall incrementally, so as to avoid such chaos that would cause mass starvation and disruption. All of the spiritual warfare that we have been engaged in for decades is now paying off. We have prayed for the overthrow of Babylon, while simultaneously been praying for mercy for the people themselves.
Our calling is to redeem the world by the laws of redemption in Leviticus 25. Our example is Jesus, who is our great Redeemer.
Dr. Stephen Jones has been writing blog posts since 2005 on a variety of topics from Bible Studies to World News, and he has been writing books since 1992. Dr. Jones' most important writings came after God brought him back into the full-time ministry in 1991. It is here that all his earlier years of searching the Scriptures began to come into clear focus. He combines a knowledge of the Old and New Testaments with a personal revelation of God that began and developed during the "wilderness" period of his life, which he often refers to as God's True Bible College...
