Post 5: David Wilkerson “The Vision” The United States to Be Blamed….. Although economic actions in Europe will trigger the coming recession, the United States will be blamed by most nations for what happens. France will become one of the most vicious anti-American nations in the world. Politicians and businessmen in Europe and Japan will place the blame on Washington and the American bankers. Drastic troop withdrawals from Europe will cause even more confusion. Leaders of the European Common Market will capitalize on this anti-American sentiment to establish a firmer power base and grip on world trade. The world’s economic power base will shift to Europe. Recovery from Recession…. There may be a full recovery from the coming recession, and there may still be another cycle or two of fat and lean years. Only God Himself knows the future—I have received only a hazy glimpse beyond the next decade. I seem to see a picture of a partial and almost complete recovery from the coming recession—but the world economy will continue in confusion until the time of the Antichrist. From this day on, there will hang over the entire world a sense of fear and uncertainty about future economic conditions. Never again in the history of the world will there be a time of complete confidence and trust in world economies. Every little boom period will carry with it a strong threat of a bust. Men’s hearts will begin to fail them from fear after they watch the devastating effects of crippled economies. There will come a time in the future when men will be obsessed with buying, selling, planting, marrying, and divorcing—but it will be a time of false prosperity. The Bible predicts that in this time of great false prosperity, Jesus Christ will appear in the clouds to evacuate the Christian. Beware: Hoarding Will Not Help…. It is not a time to hoard money, because it will not provide real security. It is still possible that we can face the time when even government-insured savings will not be paid. The only real security is in land. Money that is hoarded will disappear like sand out of a bag with holes in it. This is also a time when the Christian must pray about his giving to the church and to missionary causes. Every cent that is now given to God’s work must be given with a purpose. Indiscriminate giving just to ease the conscience or to unload God’s tithe on the church will no longer be acceptable to the Lord. Those who obey God’s Word and give willingly during the fat years will never have to bet for bread during the lean years. Those who see the hard times coming and prepare are wise. I have some advice for those who believe the message of this chapter. I believe the advice is from the Lord. Don’t buy anything unless it is needed. Avoid going into debt—at all, if possible. Sell or trade off all questionable holdings. No matter what sacrifice is involved, pay off as much debt as possible and get your cash flow needs down to a minimum. Trim your budget and cut your staff down to the bone. Avoid piling up credit card bills. Credit card debt is extremely dangerous from now on. Don’t panic—just be very cautious. Get a good reliable car and stick with it. Don’t anticipate trading it for a good, long while. Hold on to it! By all means, do not cheat on God. Keep your books with Heaven well balanced. Your future security depends on it. Give as generously as possible to missions and to the support of legitimate church work. Give and it shall be given back to you. The message I have received for all true believers is: A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. Prov. 27:12 From Denise: This concludes the first chapter in the book. Chapter 2: DRASTIC WEATHER CHANGES AND EARTHQUAKES Drastic Weather Changes…. Drastic weather changes are breaking records around the world. Some experts believe it is caused by volcanic ash from the eruptions in Iceland now being carried by the jet stream in the troposphere. I personally believe that much of the drastic weather we are seeing throughout the world today can be explained up to this point by science. In past centuries the world has witnessed devastating major earthquakes, killer heat waves, horrible floods, and all kinds of bizarre changes in the weather. All things have always returned to normal. In my vision, I have seen very little that is supernatural about the drastic weather changes we have experienced up to this time. But I also see very clearly divine intervention about to happen throughout the world. This world had best prepare for weather changes that cannot be explained by any other word but “supernatural.” The world is about to witness the beginnings of great sorrows brought about by history’s most drastic weather changes, earthquakes, floods, terrible calamities—far surpassing anything ever yet witnessed. Earthquakes Coming to the United States…. The United States is going to experience, in the not-too-distant future, the most tragic earthquake in its history. One day soon this nation will be reeling under the impact of the biggest news story of modern times. It will be coverage of the biggest, most disastrous earthquake in history. It will cause widespread panic and fear. Without a doubt, it will become one of the most completely reported earthquakes ever. Television networks will suspend all programming and carry all day coverage. Another earthquake, possibly in Japan, may precede the one that I see coming here. There is not the slightest doubt in my mind about this forthcoming massive earthquake on our continent. I believe it will be many times more sever than the San Francisco quake. I am not at all convinced that this earthquake will take place in California. I*n fact, I believe it is going to take place where it is least expected. This terrible earthquake may happen in an area that’s not known as an earthquake belt. It will be so high on the Richter scale that it will trigger two other major earthquakes. I also believe we are going to see, later, a major earthquake in the Aleutian Islands, which will result in a number of smaller earthquakes and aftershocks all along the west coast of the United States. Without a doubt, earthquakes are going to strike the United States and other parts of the world with growing intensity. Concern about earthquakes will be uppermost in forthcoming years. News about government scandals, news about war and even economic problems will be completely overshadows by earthquakes. Within minutes after this quake hits, the whole country will know it, and millions will be stunned and shocked. Thousands will be affected with much loss of life and millions of dollars worth of damage. Minor earthquakes, aftershocks, and tremors will be recorded almost daily throughout the world. Earthquakes will become the number one cause of fear and consternation. The earth is actually going to shake, and there will be numerous other earthquakes in various places throughout the world. This is one kind of judgment that cannot be explained by the scientists. It is supernatural intervention into the affairs of men. It is an act of God causing havoc and judgment, calling men to repentance and reverence. It can strike at any time, and there is no way to deter it. Men will just have to stand back in awe and terror as the power of God is demonstrated in the earthquake. I believe the recent earthquakes in Nicaragua and Mexico were a warning from Heaven that this is just the beginning. Seismic laboratories are even now recording tremors and aftershocks almost daily around the world.
