The Silver Wave; Ride it or be Wiped Out! Updated 1/2/2026

 

The video below is one of the best videos I have ever heard. The image above is my prediction; the silver to gold ratio in money in the USA was historically 20 to 1--$20 gold piece to a silver dollar—20 to 1. So, with gold at $4500 silver should be at $225. I believe the reason silver has not traded at its traditional 20 to 1 ratio is because it has been artificially suppressed with paper shorts but as explained in the video the paper suppression scheme is breaking and the silver price is breaking free. BTW, the price suppression scheme started to break on what they are calling the 'Monday Massacre' which followed the sun going through the golden gate flanked by Mars, Venus, Mercury and the Moon.

 

 

Here is a nice song from back in the day that has some fitting lyrics.

...Sail on silvergirl,

Sail on by.

Your time has come to shine.

All your dreams are on their way.

See how they shine...

Update: Hal Turner is reporting that silver is selling for over $90 in China on 12/27/2025

Update 1/2/2026. I asked Google AI the following question and it responded with the answer that follows.

If a force majeure occurs in the silver market next week what would be your best calculation of the price?

As of January 2, 2026, the silver market is already experiencing extreme structural instability. Calculating a price for a 

force majeure event next week requires accounting for the current "two-tier" market, where paper prices and physical reality have already begun to decouple. 

Current Market Context (January 2026)

• Paper Spot Price: Roughly $71.50 – $73.00/oz on the COMEX, following a retreat from a record high of $86.62 on December 29, 2025.
• Physical Spot Price: Currently as high as $130/oz in global hubs like Tokyo and Dubai, representing an unprecedented 80% premium over paper prices.
• Immediate Catalyst: China implemented strict new silver export licensing on January 1, 2026, effectively "ring-fencing" 65-70% of the world's physical supply. 

Projected Prices if Force Majeure is Declared 

A force majeure declaration (an official admission by an exchange that it cannot fulfill physical delivery) would likely lead to an immediate "physicalization" event where paper claims collapse and prices gap up to match physical scarcity. 

1. Immediate Spike (Overnight): $130 - $150/oz
   Experts suggest the paper price would likely "gap up" instantly to align with the current physical reality of $130/oz. If the exchange fails to deliver, panic buying from industrial sectors (AI, solar, EVs) could push this to $150/oz nearly overnight.
2. Short-Term Target (Within 1 Week): $180 - $200/oz
   Historical precedent shows that during massive squeezes, silver outperforms gold by 2-3x. With gold currently targeting $5,000/oz, a force majeure event could force the gold-to-silver ratio down to historic lows (30:1 or 25:1), mathematically supporting a silver price of $160 to over $200/oz.
3. Conservative "Settlement" Price: $110/oz
   Major banks like Citigroup have already revised their 2026 targets to $110/oz based on structural deficits. In a force majeure scenario, exchanges might attempt to settle contracts in "cash only" at a premium, likely centering around this institutional fair-value mark. 

Risk Factors to Your Calculation

• CME Margin Hikes: The exchange has already begun "weaponizing" margin requirements (e.g., $25k hikes) to force liquidations and protect short bullion banks, which can cause temporary flash crashes even as physical demand rises.
• Index Rebalancing: The Bloomberg Commodity Index rebalancing (Jan 8–14) is expected to trigger roughly $3.8 billion in silver selling, which could provide a brief, artificial "dip" before a force majeure spike. 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

The 2026 Prophecy Forecast

 

What will happen in 2026 in relation to end times Bible prophecy? God is the only one who knows for sure, but just as a weather forecaster can look at weather data and give us a forecast for what kind of weather we might expect, so we can look at prophetic data and give a forecast for what prophetic events we might expect in 2026.

An event just occurred which gives us a very important piece of prophetic data that has huge implications for what might occur in 2026. I believe that with the signing of the peace treaty 'with the many' on October 13, 2025, the final seven years—commonly known as the Tribulation—began.

A Life Altering Prophecy Event Just Occurred and Nobody is Talking About It! The Peace Plan was Just Signed and the Last 7 Years Has Begun!

 

Based on a 10/13/2025 start date for the last 7 years, here is my take on how 2026 may shape up in relation to end times Bible prophecy. 

As a result of the last 7 years beginning, major end time events are imminent! 

The Seals

Between now and the midpoint date of 3/25/2029 we will see Seals 1 to 4 opened, the abomination of desolation, the antichrist takes over the world, and the mark of the beast financial system.

Since the precise timing of the opening of the Seals and their duration is unknown, we could see one or all of the seals opened in 2026, 2027, 2028, or early 2029. We only know that they are opened before the midpoint and will be used by the evil forces as a catalyst to hand the world over to the rule of the antichrist.

On occasions in the past God has put signs in the heavens to let us know of important prophetic events that are occurring on the earth. Since Seal 1 involves a rider with a crown on a horse going forth to conquer the world and Sagittarius is a rider on a horse, could a certain celestial configuration in Sagittarius be a sign of the opening of seal 1?

Take a look at this; on 12/29/2025 the Sun, Mercury (the false messiah), and Mars (war) crown Sagittarius. Is this a sign of the opening of Seal 1?

 

Or could it be when Venus and Mars conjunct behind the sun in Sagittarius on 1/7/2026?

Whether or not Seal one will be opened on either of those dates, I do not know, but at the very least in 2026 I believe we will continue to see developments that let us know that the Seals are near to occurring, as detailed in this post. 

Whispers of the Six Seals of the Apocalypse 

Here is a summary of what the seals involve: 

Seal 1—White horse—world conquest

 

1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

 

2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 

 

Seal 2—Red Horse—War 

3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

 

4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 

 

Seal 3—Black horse—Worldwide financial collapse, famine, and hyperinflation

 

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

 

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.  

 

Seal 4—Pale death green horse—1 out of 4 dies.

 

7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

 

8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.  

So, to reiterate in 2026 we could see one or all the Seals opened. 

ETs, Aliens, and UFOs

Another major prophecy event(s) possible for 2026 will involve so called aliens, and their disclosure to the world by government leaders, who will at some time in the future tell us that ‘we are not alone.’ For the record aliens and ETs are just demons and or their spawn.

Aliens, ETs, and UFOs will be part of satan’s end times trap to lure the world into hell. The coming antichrist will be UFO related and as the 2029 midpoint approaches the UFO, alien, ET deceptions will grow stronger.

Also look for the heretical theory that aliens were the ones that started life on earth to gain greater acceptance--some scientists are now admitting that evolution is a mathematical impossibility and suggesting that the earth was terraformed by ETs as explained in this article from The Big the One. 

Earth Events

Also, in 2026 be on the lookout for increased earth events; floods, droughts, earthquakes, solar activity, volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc., which will grow in intensity and frequency as the end times proceed. 

Financial

The charts below pretty much tell the story. 

The financial condition of the world will by design get worse and worse and will deteriorate to the point as we near the midpoint where they will collapse the system and everyone will be forced into a new system that will include the mark. So, all bank accounts and retirement accounts will be worthless unless a person takes the mark.

Bottom Line

Here is a Bible passage—the Words of Our Lord—that pretty much sums up what we should be on the lookout for in 2026. 

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

 

9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

 

10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

 

11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven...

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

 

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

 

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

 

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21 

And what should one do in response to the last 7 years beginning and the nearness of the Seals being opened? Pray and prepare. And why do we need to prepare? We need to prepare because we will not be rescued by the rapture until after the opening of the sixth seal.

 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

The Wilkerson Worldwide Financial Crash; Germany Will be First Then…

 

We have been hearing of a coming worldwide financial collapse by many economists for years—there is too much debt. The Bible also foretells of a coming worldwide financial collapse. 

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

 

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. Rev 6:5,6 

There is a famous vision that was proclaimed to the world by evangelist David Wilkerson that involved a financial collapse that would engulf the world. And he said, "It's going to start in GERMANY!!!"  

So we have a word that David Wilkerson himself declared to be prophetic, not just a warning based upon his study of Scripture, but a prophetic word which said that a European, North African or Eastern nation was going to go bankrupt; German, Swiss and French banks would take the initial impact - hard; then a second nation, possibly Argentina or Brazil would follow, then Mexico. The US would not necessarily be impacted by the default of the first nation or the South American nation but would be impacted, hard, by the default of Mexico, so much so that NOT the National Guard but the WHOLE US ARMY would be called out to control the chaos. Source: Running from Babylon; GREECE AND DAVID WILKERSON.

And here is another account that adds more details.

I thought you might like to see the results of a bit of research I've done, in which I found an old audio message by David Wilkerson, in which he identifies the first important European country to suffer an economic collapse: Not Greece, but Germany! (Not to say Greece won't collapse, but read on).

To give some background, first, in his book, "The Vision", at the beginning of chapter 1, Wilkerson states, "I see total economic confusion striking Europe first, and then affecting Japan, the United States, Canada, and all other nations shortly thereafter".

So, the economic collapse begins in Europe. There is a slightly different version of this which is circulating on various sites on the internet, usually titled "David Wilkerson's Economic Vision". This is the one you quoted, where he narrates how the collapse starts in Europe, spreads to South America, then Mexico, then the U.S. Notice he again mentions Europe first, and then later, "the first country (that) goes bankrupt", but doesn't identify the country. Well, I did some more digging and found this audio sermon by Wilkerson:

AT EXACTLY 2:03 (see audio below) HE STATES: "It's going to start in GERMANY!!!" http://www.ubm1.org/?page=wilkerson#Germany

Now check out some of the latest headlines. 

German economy in 'deepest crisis' of post-war era: industry group Frankfurt (Germany) (AFP) – Germany's economy is suffering its "deepest crisis" since the aftermath of World War II, an industry group warned Tuesday, calling on Chancellor Friedrich Merz's government to take urgent action to spark a revival. 

And how about the rest of the world, Glenn Beck just dropped the most important 4 minutes you’ll watch this year: 

“For the FIRST time in recorded history, EVERY major civilization—America, China, Europe, Japan—is hitting the absolute peak of the debt super-cycle AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT. There is no rising power waiting in the wings like there always has been. When this resets, it won’t be regional. It will be global, systemic, and sudden.” 

So, are we on the precipice of the worldwide financial collapse? Knowing that the last 7 years has begun and that the Seal 3 financial collapse will occur in the first half of the last 7 years, would lead us to conclude that indeed it is near to occurring.

This chart ought to tell you something.

 

And if you are expecting the rapture to occur before the Seal 3 financial crash, it won't. The rapture does not occur until after the opening of the sixth seal. In fact, as of 10/13/2025 we are in the last 7 years now.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36
