If Someone Told You $1 Would Soon Be Equal To Fifty Kobo, Would You Believe? by Nobody: 10:08pm On Oct 29, 2018 |
What comes to mind concerning that question, is the response of a certain man to a similar saying of Elisha at a time when it seemed impossible to take place. For the man said: "Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be?"(2 Kings 7:6) And that response illustrated how impossible it seemed for what the prophet had just said would take place. But Elisha said to him, "Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof." And as impossible as it seemed for what Elisha said to come to pass at the time, it was mere lepers, even the least expected means, that God used to bring that impossible saying of Elisha to pass in those days. And so back to question, would you believe if someone told you that fifty kobo would soon become the equivilent of a dollar? And don't worry about Elisha's pronouncement upon that man who made that comment, that he'll see it but not partake of it, for there's no curse attached whatsoever to whatever response you may give on this occasion. |

It is possible. What comes to mind is Harry Potter's ability to fly on a magical broom and defeat Lord Voldemort 1 Like |

Op forgot to state the part where the lepers had to make extra ordinary sacrifice for Elisha prophecy to come to pass. Without extra ordinary sacrifice economically your prophecy is impossible. 1 Like |

Why not? A simple redenomination would do the trick. Just remove three zeros from the current exchange rate and $1 will instantly equal to about 36kobo. Ghana did it in 2007. 2 Likes |

xtivin2: How you guys even refer to a fairytale and expect it to be applicable in real life baffles me. Can you or the op give a real life a example of any developed nation that applied the methods you are suggesting to build their economy? |

xtivin2:Sacrifice really? People who had no other choice but that of death! No-ooh i didn't even see it as a sacrifice but even if it was, it was absolutely irrelevant in this matter, for once it's God that had said it through his servant Elisha(2 Kg 7:1), he surely was going to bring his word to pass however he decided to. So what's even incredible is the fact that God chose to use them instead of the Dangote's of those days to bring such an impossible saying in the sight of men to pass. But that's just God doing what he does best "using the foolish things of the world to confound the wise". So it's just about if it's God that said it, if so then it is finished, whether people sacrifice or not. That's not saying that he said this though, but if it be him then it will surely happen. |
