I agree. However the world doesn't know that and there's a battle for the lesser of two evil world currencies. If BRIC's can destroy the jewish Federal Reserve and all of it's tentacles of strangulation, then that could be seen as an analogy to Cyrus/Medo-Persia (who was not a believer) defeating ancient Babylon. We know that changed things and led to the rebuilding of the temple, but there's a New Jerusalem and the temple is no longer built with hands. When people think of streets paved with gold, it is not the opulence waiting for those in the Kingdom, it's a mockery of how worthless gold was and will be trampled upon as much as ordinary asphalt.
