In August, 2009 I posted a message "In the Eye of the Storm", part of which is reprinted below. As we all know, the economy is still stagnant, unemployment is still high, and banks are still failing at record rates - 140 in 2009, 129 already this year. My brothers and sisters, God has been giving us time to mentally and spiritually get ready for hyperinflation and then the collapse of the American economy. Some of the fortunate ones the Lord is giving the financial resources to prepare for this. Others will have to rely on the Lord for provision. My guess is that hyperinflation will begin late next year and the collapse of the economy in early 2012, but that is only a guess. Only the Lord knows exactly when it will happen. This is a time given to us to spend in the Bible, in prayer and, for those who are able to, in fasting to get ready for what is about to befall this nation. Please make good use of this time we have been given. Lord, please prepare us for what is ahead.
Below is an excerpt from my message last year.
The Eye of the Storm
August 14, 2009
Right now we are in the rather calm eye of the storm. But the worst damage comes after the eye passes and the winds come from the other direction. The first winds of this storm weakened the economic structure in this country, but they didn't destroy it. At this date, there is a relative calm in the economy of this country - it seems to have stabilized and the stock market has rallied. Our politicians and newspapers are declaring that the recession is over and there will be good times ahead. DON'T BELIEVE THEM!!!!
This is just the calm in the eye of the storm. The winds are about to hit us from another direction and they will completely destroy the economy of this country. It is coming very, very quickly. Be prepared to live on virtually nothing. Be prepared to live without many of the conveniences you have today. Be prepared for exorbitant price increases on everything from food, to electricity, to gasoline, to clothes, to just about anything you buy. Hyperinflation is coming very, very quickly.
You must learn to do with much less than you have today. Energy prices will skyrocket to unbelievable levels and many of you will not be able to afford to air-condition or heat your homes. Gasoline prices will be higher than anyone could ever have predicted, be prepared to drive only for essential errands. Food prices will skyrocket and you will be able to afford only the basic necessities. Salaries WILL NOT rise accordingly. Cut back on your expenses and save as much money as you can.

Desires of the Flesh
Last week the Lord had me begin conserving water. I like to take long showers and I shave in the shower. But now I wash my hair and face, then turn the water off while I wash the rest of my body. Then I turn the water on to rinse off, then turn if off. Then I shave, without the water running, then turn it on to rinse off. When I am washing dishes I am learning how to do it with the least amount of water. Yes, I am even learning how to use the toilet (urinating) several times before I flush it.
Then He started having me conserve electricity. I am 64, 65 in November (UGH!), and I like a lot of light in the house because the older I get, the more light I need to see. Yet, I found out that I really don't need lights on in each room, and that there are several things I can do without turning on the lights in other rooms of the house.
A dear friend of mine asked me why the Lord was having me do these things. I replied without thinking "As an example to others." I thought afterwards "That's nice God, but who is going to see me doing this?" He didn't reply.
Then (yes, all this happened last week), He had me begin a fruit-only fast, for how long I do not know. Except He let me eat normally this weekend. Today I had actually planned on having only fruit, but as I was driving down the road I was drawn to a Fuddrucker's restaurant. Now, I know that the newspaper said that Five Guys Burger Restaurant has the best burgers, but as far as I'm concerned Fuddrucker's burgers can't be beat! As I went in the front door there were several people standing in line in front of me - all of them were obese. I looked around the restaurant and most of the people in there were obese. As I sat eating my world's best hamburger I kept thinking "How are these people going to survive in a few years when there is going to be just barely enough food to survive on, sometimes not even that?"
My sisters and brothers, there is going to be a great famine in this land. There will not be enough food to feed everyone. The pictures we've seen of the poor, starving people in Africa are going to be a reality in this country. Those of you who are overweight will have an extremely difficult time surviving. Do you think that in the places of refuge that there will be an abundance of food? There WILL NOT BE! There will be enough to survive on, but that will be all. If you think that others will give up their portion because you're still hungry after you've had your share, you are badly mistaken.
In addition to that, everyone in these places of refuge will be required to work, manual labor of some sort or other. Overweight people will receive no mercy because of their problem. It will be either work and eat, or not work and not eat. If you think I'm being hard about this, wait a few years and you will be glad I am telling you these things so that you can begin to change your ways now.
It is time now to get the desires of your flesh under control. If you wait, you will not survive what is coming upon this nation.
The first prophetic message I wrote on this blog, http://watchman2009.blogspot.com/2009/03/destruction-of-usa.html
will tell you about the solar storms that will cause much of this famine. This one also will give you more information: http://watchman2009.blogspot.com/2009/10/solar-storms.html
There will be during these times a drought as well as a famine. Now is the time to begin to learn good water conservation habits. Electricity will be extraordinarily expensive, so now is the time to learn how to save on electricity. Gasoline will be hard to come by and wretchedly expensive, so learn now how to conserve gas.
Now is the time to begin to get the flesh under control.
On another subject, the situation in the Gulf of Mexico is not over. What we're seeing now is a pause in the actions of the Lord. The worst is yet to come. The second rig exploding a couple of weeks ago is God's sign regarding that.

A Prayer For Judgment
Lord, You have warned the people of this nation over and over for years now, but few have listened. This nation and its people are like Sodom and Gomorrah. They are like the people in the time of Noah - drinking, partying, sinning in the most detestable ways, parading their sins in the streets. They are actually proud of their abominations. They think nothing of the millions of unborn children they have murdered. They think nothing of their abomination of homosexuality, instead wanting it to be viewed as an acceptable lifestyle. They think nothing of violating their marital vows. They think nothing of cheating others, stealing from others, murdering others. They worship their proud and arrogant President, they worship their money, they worship their TVs, their worship drugs such as cocaine, they worship all their possessions, they worship their sports stars. They worship everyone but you, Lord. They call good evil, and evil good. This is a wicked and perverse generation.
Enough Lord, enough! I pray that you will now pour out not only your judgment, but also your wrath upon this wicked and ungodly nation. They have thrown You out of this nation, so I pray that You will throw them out of this nation. I pray for catastrophe upon catastrophe to be poured out upon this evil land. I pray that you will have no mercy upon them. I pray that you will unleash horror upon horror on this people until they literally bow their knees in surrender to you.
Lord, Your prophets have cried out to this people, warning them time after time after time. They have not listened, they will not listen. Instead they get worse and worse. I pray that you will now fulfill that which your servants the prophets have spoken about what You are going to do to this land for its wickedness. I pray that you will vindicate your watchmen who the people have rejected. Men and women like John Johnston - www.unitedstatesprophecy.com., Daniel Eggers - www.prayersforthepeople.com, Jan Meador - www.janmeador.com, Debbie Rennier - www.hisprophet.net, and others who have been your faithful watchmen. Vindicate them, O Lord! Show the world that they truly have been your faithful servants and that they have spoken what you have told them to speak. Vindicate them, oh Lord! Vindicate them!
Lord I do not pray for mercy for the people of this land, except for those who truly have a heart for You. I pray that You will watch over these and protect them. That You will guide them to places of refuge during the catastrophic years ahead. I pray that Your Spirit will be poured out upon them so that many will truly see Your love reflected in them. I pray for mercy for those who have been misled by their pastors and teachers. I pray that you will lead them to the ones who will remove the blinders from their eyes, who will teach them the true gospel, who will deliver them from the false doctrines that they have been taught, who will help to heal their wounded souls and hearts, who will deliver them from the forces of darkness,and who, more than anything else, will love them.
For You have raised up Your holy remnant for just this time, Oh Lord. You have raised us up to minister to the hurting, the fearful, the trembling, the wounded, the rejected and the lost during this time. Now I pray that You will release us to do Your work.
Let the words your prophets have spoken now be fulfilled.

Hermine
Tropical storm Hermine came unexpected and hit the Texas/Mexico border leaving wind damage and drenching/flooding rains in many areas of Texas. Why write abbout this? The meaning of Hermine is "complete, universal; messenger; earthly". Hermine is God's earthly messenger of the complete and universal destruction that is coming unexpectedly and quickly upon this nation. Obama would not listen to God's warnings about interfering with Israel, the Lord's last warning being Hurricane Earl. Therefore the Lord sent Hermine as an harbinger of what is coming very, very soon with no more warnings.

Storm Warning
It is no coincidence that hurricane Earl is headed for the east coast just as the "peace talks" with Israel and the Palestinians have begun on the east coast, in Washingtom, D.C. I can sense in that storm God's great anger towards this nation's leaders for interfering with His Holy Land. I see an irate and wrathful God in that storm. Obama has been warned to keep his hands off the Holy Land, and he has not listened. (Yes, he actually did read my letter to him in which he was warned to leave Israel alone.) This hurricane is the last warning that Obama will receive. After that, the Lord's wrath will begin to be unleashed upon this nation.

Obama's Religion
For Obama to call himself a Christian is to blaspheme the name of Christ. Jesus was humble, meek and lowly of heart, He came to serve. He was filled with love, compassion and mercy. He spoke the truth. Barack Obama is egotistical, narcissistic, arrogant, condescending and patronizing. He is the most arrogant man to ever occupy the Oval Office. He has not one drop of love, mercy, campassion nor humility in him. There is no truth in him, he is the Liar-in-Chief.
He attended Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years. But when it became obvious that he would lose votes if he stayed there, he immediately left. This is not characteristic of a loyal and honorable man. Obama showed by his actions that he has no loyalty nor honor.
Is he a Christian? Certainly not! There is no evidence of Christ in him.

A Cash-only Society
What???? A cash-only society?? I thought that we would have cashless society because of the mark of the beast, the chips implanted in our foreheads or hands, etc.!
Sorry to upset the apple cart, folks, but we are about to have a cash-only society here in this nation. This morning I read a story about the recent storms in Washington, D.C. that caused several hundred thousand people to be without electricity. So what, you say, that has been happening for ages. Yes, it has. However, the thing that jumped off the page at me this time was that the people could not use their credit cards in the stores because all the power, and thus the electronics, was out. The stores would accept only cash.
When the solar storms hit this nation in full force in 2012, yes that's only two years away, there will be vast sections of this country that won't have electricity. No electricity means no credit or debit cards will be able to be used, only cash. If you don't have cash, you will not be able to buy anything. How will this affect the rest of the country? I do not know at this time. But maybe we have some computer gurus out there who can advise us on this. If people can't buy anything except with cash, which most don't have much of, then they will rob, steal and murder in order to get food, water and the necessities of life. There is going to be violence like this nation has naver seen.
You need to begin to set aside cash if you are able to. If I was able to I would begin to put cash in a safety deposit box in a bank. Yes, I think those boxes are safe for now. When the time comes for you to pull it out, the Lord will let you know.
This nation is about to become a third-world country and we all need to change our ways of thinking about what we need to survive, as opposed to what we want. I have a very, very dear friend, my Kikuyu sister-in-Christ, who lives in Kenya. She lived here in Dallas, Texas for almost 20 years before the Lord sent her back to Kenya in January of last year. Although she rents a house in the city, she has a home in the village where there is no electricity and running water. Rain water is collected in cisterns, just like people in the country here used to do years ago. The people grow their own food in gardens and raise their own cows, chickens and goats.They cook over wood fires, and heat their homes in like manner. And guess what, the people still survive! For us to survive here in the future, many of us will be forced to live in a similar fashion in the places of refuge where God will send many of us. Those days are not far off.
On a similar subject, much has been written about the mark of the beast, which is spoken of in the Bible. There has been much speculation about what it would be and how it would be forced upon mankind. Here is an article from Fox News that talks about a chip that has been implanted in some already and which, I believe, will be forced upon much of the world when the Beast comes into power. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/05/14/radio-frequency-rfid-implant
"Having one in every person could relieve anxiety for parents and help save lives, or work on a more mundane level by unlocking doors with the wave of a hand or starting a parked car." The "need" for the chip will be "sold" as a great advance in technology which will make life "easier and safer" for everyone. "Wow, just think people, you won't need to carry cash anymore because this will allow you to just wave your hand in front of a scanner and the amount will automatically be charged to your account, or deducted from your bank account (of course, the government will have access to your accounts also). Your medical records will be instantly accessible in case of an emergency. You will always know where your children are. You won't have to carry keys anymore because this chip will automatically open your doors and start your cars just by the wave of your hand. Just think how wonderful this is going to be! Of course for this plan to work correctly, everyone must have the chip implanted in their hands." That is how easily it will be for this to come about. Most will not think twice about it. We saw how easily an antichrist, Obama, fooled the majority of the people in this nation. Just think how easily THE Antichrist will be able to fool the world with this idea.
The people that are left in this country at that time, as well as others around the world, will be forced to get the chip implanted. But the true Christians who hear from the Lord will know not to let the chip be implanted in them. That means that we will not have bank accounts because they cannot be accessed unless you have the chip. We will not have access to doctors and hospitals because we will not have the chip. We will not be able to buy food, clothing, medicine, or anything else on the open market because all these will require the chip. We will have to depend on the Lord and one another. I do believe that the Lord will supernaturally provide for many of us during that time (i.e., the loaves and the fishes).
These are perilous times, my brothers and sisters. Once again, I urge you to turn off the idiot boxes and draw close to the Lord by prayer, fasting and reading the Bible.
Addendum to message
There was some confusion in the minds of some regarding my latest message about a cashless society, then the mark of the beast, the chips implants, being forced upon most. A dear sister in Christ sent me this which I think will clear up any misunderstandings.
"Here's what I'm feeling in the spirit that we will go through a period temporarily when things are shut down and there will be a cash only society for a season, until they get the mark of the beast in place. Once there is a mainstream majority, only the mark will be accepted, and NOT cash. By that time, cash currency will likely have changed and have NO value, further trying to force people to take the mark so they can eat, or they may starve and die. If individuals are found without the mark, they will likely be martyred."

In a message on my blog several years ago I wrote that a solar storm would hit this nation before the end of Obama's first term, causing catastrophic damage to the electricity and electronics in major parts of this nation. When that happened our satellites would be blinded and the Russians would launch a nuclear attack upon us, then Obama would bow his knees in surrender to Putin, surrendering the USA to Russia. That didn't happen and I was devastated that I had misled people. I thought I missed the Lord.
A short time later I wrote a message on my blog stating that God had delayed His judgment upon this nation because of the prayers of the people, giving us a little more time to prepare. That sounded like an excuse for me missing the Lord. But in the past few days evidence has come out that indeed in 2012 there was a major solar storm that just missed this planet, one that would have caused absolutely catastrophic damage to this planet. It was a "near miss" as reported on Science News from NASA.
"July 23, 2014: If an asteroid big enough to knock modern civilization back to the 18th century appeared out of deep space and buzzed the Earth-Moon system, the near-miss would be instant worldwide headline news.
Two years ago, Earth experienced a close shave just as perilous, but most newspapers didn't mention it. The "impactor" was an extreme solar storm, the most powerful in as much as 150+ years.
"If it had hit, we would still be picking up the pieces," says Daniel Baker of the University of Colorado. "I have come away from our recent studies more convinced than ever that Earth and its inhabitants were incredibly fortunate that the 2012 eruption happened when it did," says Baker. "If the eruption had occurred only one week earlier, Earth would have been in the line of fire."
Although God was merciful this time, He won't be the next time. Before Obama leaves office we will be hit by the worst solar storm in history and its effects will be absolutely catastrophic! And yes, Obama will surrender this nation to the Russians.

To Be A Disciple
Luke 14:33 - In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.
This is a verse I have never heard preached on in any church. I have heard taught "How to get everything that is yours in Jesus", "How to claim your rights in Jesus", "How to receive God's promises", but I have never heard this verse expounded on in any church. Today's doctrines are all about how to get what we want from God, not about how we need to be obeying God's commands. Luke 14:33 is one of His commands many of you will have to obey in the near future.
Giving up everything I had is something the Lord has required me to do twice in the past 28 years, in 1984 and in 2005. Was it something I wanted to do? Heck no!! But it was what the Lord required of me. Even now, everything I own will fit in the front seat of my truck. Am I happy about it? Absolutely not! All the precious memories, all the pictures, all the letters, all the mementos, everything that was dear to me I had to give up. Do I miss those things? Yes, I do. Did it hurt to lose them? Yes. But I have learned to be content (not happy, but content) without all those things.
In the near future many of you will be required to leave virtually everything behind when you have to flee the cities before God's judgment falls upon them. Many of you will have to flee in the face of persecution and to avoid death when the foreign armies are occupying this nation and indiscriminately killing people. Some of you along the Gulf Coast will have to flee before the destruction that is almost upon that part of the country. You will have to leave behind all your precious treasures and just take the bare essentials with you. I am telling you this ahead of time so that you can begin to ponder these things and mentally and spiritually prepare yourselves to be able to leave everything behind. If you truly want to be His disciple, you will have to give up everything. If you do not, you will be so burdened down that you will never make it to the places of refuge.

Catastrophe Upon Catastrophe
This will be a continuing thread as more and more catastrophes hit this nation. I'll be adding to it as events occur.
In my May 11 message, America's Burial, I said: When we hear that the Lord's wrath will descend upon us and we will be destroyed "in one day", we think in human terms, while God thinks in His terms. "My ways are not your ways, and My thoughts are not your thoughts." "A day to the Lord is like a thousand years". In this case "in one day" means step-by-step over several years of our time, catastrophe after catastrophe after catastophe after catastrophe. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was the beginning, the floods in Nashville were another step, the tornadoes in Oklahoma another step. These steps of destruction will continue one after another after another after another. It is my opinion that they will continue unabated, without letup.
We've had the oil spill which began on April 20, which will continue to be a problem for some time to come and will cost many $ billions to contain and cleanup (if cleanup is even possible in the marshes of Louisiana).
May 3 - there were the severe thunderstorms and the flood in Nashville which killed at least 30 people and caused over $1 billion in damage.

Sept. 11 - 6 killed in Kentucky shooting. A gunman killed five people inside an eastern Kentucky mobile home Saturday before turning the weapon on himself.

Taking a Stand
In Monday's Dallas Morning News newspaper there was a front-page article about how the members of First Baptist Church of Dallas, TX, one of the nation's largest Baptist churches, had pledged $115 million to renovate their facilities. This incensed me that they would spend so much money on making themselves more comfortable when so many people are hurting financially right now. I wrote the following e-mail to the newspaper on Monday.
"So First Baptist Church of Dallas is raising $115 million to remodel their buildings. What an abomination to God! In the midst of the worst economy since the Great Depression, when so many people are out of work and in need of help, when so many people are hurting, instead of making a greater effort to reach out and help these people and the poor, FBC Dallas is gathering a record amount of money to revamp their property! How self-centered! What pride! What arrogance! What greed! What a complete abomination to God they are!
Oh yes, I know, they'll say that the leaders prayed about it and felt that it was God's leading to do this. Let me ask them this: "Would God approve of wasting so much money on yourselves when there are so many hurting people out there? Would God sanction such self-centeredness, such self-indulgence, such pride?" Oh, I know FBC gives money to different charities. Well, just think how much more good you could do with $115 million, instead of spending it on yourselves.
Acts 17:24,25 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelling not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is He worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things.
This is what the paper published on Wednesday.

The time has come for us to take a stand against the greed, self-centerness, arrogance and lukewarm/cold hearts that fill the churches today. We can be silent no longer!

America's Burial
Back in February I wrote about "America's Funeral" after I had been listening to the song "America The Beautiful" played by the Andre Rieu Orchestra. Last night I was listening to the same album and again listened to "America The Beautiful". This time I was struck by it as a slow, step-by-step tempo of the burial of this nation.
When we hear that the Lord's wrath will descend upon us and we will be destroyed "in one day", we think in human terms, while God thinks in His terms. "My ways are not your ways, and My thoughts are not your thoughts." "A day to the Lord is like a thousand years". In this case "in one day" means step-by-step over several years of our time, catastrophe after catastrophe after catastophe after catastrophe. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was the beginning, the floods in Nashville were another step, the tornadoes in Oklahoma another step. These steps of destruction will continue one after another after another after another. It is my opinion that they will continue unabated, without letup.
When will it all end? - "Isa 16:13 - This is the word the LORD has already spoken concerning the USA. 14 But now the LORD says: "Within three years, as a servant bound by contract would count them, Moab's splendor and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble". Does that mean that these catastrophes will stop then? No, it simply means that within three years this nation will cease to exist as we now know it. The nation's splendor will be gone and there will be few survivors.
That is how close we are to the end, people. The next few years are going to be extremely hard for everyone, especially for those who do not know the Lord. But they will also be extremely difficult for those who think they are Christians, but who daily chase after the things of this world. Again, I call upon the Christians in this nation to repent and turn your eyes to the Lord, for He is the only one who you will be able to trust in the coming days. He is the only one who will able to lead you in the coming days. Turn off the idiot boxes and turn to the Lord in prayer, fasting and reading the Bible - that is the only way you will have the strength to endure to the end. Only he that endures to the end will be saved.

A Harbinger Of Things To Come
In my first post on here "The Destruction of the USA", I wrote about the solar storms that were predicted by scientists to hit the earth in 2011-2012, with the USA being devastated by them (this part being from the Lord). I also posted another article about solar storms several months later.
Here is the link to an article about a satellite hit by a solar storm and the results of that. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/05/03/intense-solar-storm-spins-satellite-control/?test=latestnews
When the major storms hit this nation, the majority of our satellites will be blinded and/or destroyed. Notice, I said nothing about Russian or Chinese satellites being destroyed - God controls even the solar storms. We will be completely blinded and defenseless when this happens. That is when the Russians will hit us with nuclear weapons and demand our surrender. That is also when our proud, conceited, arrogant and egotistical President will be completely humiliated - when he bows his knees in surrender to the Russians.

The Darkness Has Begun
As always the Lord does things the opposite of the way man thinks He is going to do them. Instead of the darkness beginning from above the earth, the darkness has started flowing from beneath the earth. The recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexco did not come from the north either, instead it came from the south. Man has his ideas of how God is going to do things, God has different ideas. "For My ways are not your ways and My thoughts are not your thoughts."
In my recent message "Light Into The Darkness" I said "We've done what we can and, thank the Lord, some have listened. But the time is at hand when the warnings will cease. The time is at hand when great calamity upon calamity upon calamity will be poured out upon this nation and its people, the Lord's wrath will no longer be delayed". His wrath has begun. The time for warnings has passed.
This oil spill is going to be worse than anyone can imagine, it is going to be absolutely catastrophic. The economic, ecological and environmental damage from this are going to be unbelieveable. It is going to destroy one of the greatest fisheries in the world. Not only will fish be destroyed by this, but also crabs, shrimp, oysters, birds and countless other types of wildlife that inhabit the Gulf Coast. When it hits the beaches in Mississippi, Alabama and Florida it will destroy the tourism industry in those regions. Businesses will close and people will lose their jobs. Prices of seafood will skyrocket. Inflation will begin in ways that we never expected. Hyperinflation is just a step away.
Yesterday the Obamination said ""Your government will do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to stop this crisis." What he forgot is that "If calamity come upon a city (or nation) is it not I who sent it, says the Lord". No one, not even this nation's government and all its resources can stay the hand of the Lord.

The Reason Churches Don't Work Like They Should
Why don't churches function the way they should? Why don't we see the spiritual power of the Lord today like they had in the first century church? Why don't teachers have the annointing they should so their words are sharper than any two-edged sword and penetrate to the bone and marrow? Why do we see so many proud and materialistic pastors who are misleading (or even not leading) their flocks? Where are the true shepherds of the Lord? How come the churches are so cold or lukewarm? Why are the churches so devoid of love?
The reason that churches are so messed up is because we have built them on man's order of authority, not God's.
God's order of spiritual authority is: Eph 2:20 "The church is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets.." Nowhere does it say that the church is built upon the foundation of the pastor and/or the elders.
1Cor 12:28 - And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues.
Eph 4:11 "It was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers...." This is the only verse in the Bible where pastors are mentioned, one time and one time only. Yet we have made pastors the kings of the churches.
In every instance in the Bible the apostle is the one who is mentioned as the head of spiritual authority in the church. Paul often spoke of using his apostolic authority over the churches - 2Cor 13:10 "This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority." The apostles were also the ones who appointed the elders in the churches - Acts 14:23 "Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church", Titus 1:5 (Titus was an apostle) " The reason I left you in Crete was that you might straighten out what was left unfinished, and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you to".
Acts 15:6 "The apostles and elders met to consider the question", Acts 16:4 "As they traveled from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey", Acts 15:23 " The apostles and elders, your brothers ... to the Gentiles ....." All these verses speak of the apostles’ authority in the churches and how they are set apart from the elders – for it doesn’t say just “elders”, but “apostles and elders”, making them a separate entity from the elders.
Gal 1:1 "Paul, an apostle sent not from men nor by man, but by Christ Jesus and God the Father". Today's concept of an apostle is "one sent", referring to missionaries sent by churches, usually to foreign countries. This is in direct conflict with what Paul says, because he was not sent by men, but by God. Nor was he a "missionary" in the way we think of that term today. He was sent by God to found churches, appoint elders and to have spiritual oversight and authority over those churches. If he was simply a missionary he could not speak about his authority over the churches, nor would he have the authority to appoint elders.
We see "type" of apostle in the O.T. in Melchizidek, he was a king and a priest. Jesus was called a high priest to the order of Melchizedek, in other words a king/priest. The apostles of today are also king/priests and are the head of spiritual authority in the churches. They are given a very special overview of God's plan for the churches, something that is given to no one else. They see God's whole plan for a church, as opposed to bits and pieces that others see. They are given God's authority to found churches and choose elders. That's quite different from the way churches operate today, isn't it? "And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets...." How far we have strayed from God's plan for the churches .
Prophets are given special abilities to see specific problem areas in churches and to point these out to the spiritual authorities in the church. We are also given the authority to anoint people for service. We work very closely with the apostles in the church.
I have never yet met a proud apostle or a proud prophet, but I have met many proud teachers, pastors and evangelists. God puts his apostles and prophets through the fires of affliction while He is raising them up. He humbles and breaks each and every one of them. A person does not mature spiritually except by suffering, and apostles and prophets suffer a lot so that they can be spiritually mature. We share in the fellowship of His sufferings, literally, so that we will be mature in Christ.
Where the churches got the idea that the pastor was the head of the church is beyond me, it is not scriptural, it is not the way God ordained for it to be. The term "pastor" is only mentioned once in the whole Bible, yet the churches today have raised up the pastors to be their kings, their idols whom they have given control over the churches. Nowhere in the Bible is this authorized, it is completely out of God's order. God's order is "first of all apostles, second prophets...." Mark 7:8 "You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."
Matt 23:8 "But you are not to be called "Rabbi", for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth "father", for you only have one Father, and He is in Heaven (I believe that this was written specifically for Catholics who call their priests "Father"). Nor are you to be called "teacher", for you have one Teacher, the Christ". Can we not say also "you are not to be called "pastor", because you have only one Pastor, Jesus"? Mark 7:8 "You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men".
99.9% of the churches do not have apostles and prophets because they don't want them. The pastors either don't believe they exist or they are afraid of the authority of apostles and prophets. The few churches that do have apostles and prophets still have a hard time functioning properly because the apostles don't understand their authority and responsibility. They try to be the pastor and the teacher, as well as the apostle.
I have seen the office of the apostle function properly on three occasions in my travels to the churches over the past 27 years. The apostle began the service, then after a little while he turned it over to the pastor or teacher. The apostle went over to the side and was out of sight for all practical purposes. But while the service was going on the apostle controlled the spirit of the service by his spiritual authority and prayers. No one noticed him, nor paid any attention to him, but I saw spiritually what was happening.
There are apostles and prophets of the churches - they sit in the office of apostle and prophet in the church. And there are apostles and prophets to the churches - they are like consultants whom the Lord uses to look at the operation of a church from an outsider's perspective and who can see problems that the ones in the churches cannot see.
When will we see the church operate like it is supposed to, under God's order of spiritual authority? Probably not until the Millenial period, which is coming soon. We are beginning to see bits and pieces of it now, but I do not believe that we will see it operating properly until Jesus comes to rule and reign. Now man rules and reigns, that's why the churches are so pathetic.
The reason that churches are so messed up is because we have built them on man's order of authority, not God's.
God's order of spiritual authority is: Eph 2:20 "The church is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets.." Nowhere does it say that the church is built upon the foundation of the pastor and/or the elders.
1Cor 12:28 - And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues.
Eph 4:11 "It was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers...." This is the only verse in the Bible where pastors are mentioned, one time and one time only. Yet we have made pastors the kings of the churches.
In every instance in the Bible the apostle is the one who is mentioned as the head of spiritual authority in the church. Paul often spoke of using his apostolic authority over the churches - 2Cor 13:10 "This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority." The apostles were also the ones who appointed the elders in the churches - Acts 14:23 "Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church", Titus 1:5 (Titus was an apostle) " The reason I left you in Crete was that you might straighten out what was left unfinished, and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you to".
Acts 15:6 "The apostles and elders met to consider the question", Acts 16:4 "As they traveled from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey", Acts 15:23 " The apostles and elders, your brothers ... to the Gentiles ....." All these verses speak of the apostles’ authority in the churches and how they are set apart from the elders – for it doesn’t say just “elders”, but “apostles and elders”, making them a separate entity from the elders.
Gal 1:1 "Paul, an apostle sent not from men nor by man, but by Christ Jesus and God the Father". Today's concept of an apostle is "one sent", referring to missionaries sent by churches, usually to foreign countries. This is in direct conflict with what Paul says, because he was not sent by men, but by God. Nor was he a "missionary" in the way we think of that term today. He was sent by God to found churches, appoint elders and to have spiritual oversight and authority over those churches. If he was simply a missionary he could not speak about his authority over the churches, nor would he have the authority to appoint elders.
We see "type" of apostle in the O.T. in Melchizidek, he was a king and a priest. Jesus was called a high priest to the order of Melchizedek, in other words a king/priest. The apostles of today are also king/priests and are the head of spiritual authority in the churches. They are given a very special overview of God's plan for the churches, something that is given to no one else. They see God's whole plan for a church, as opposed to bits and pieces that others see. They are given God's authority to found churches and choose elders. That's quite different from the way churches operate today, isn't it? "And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets...." How far we have strayed from God's plan for the churches .
Prophets are given special abilities to see specific problem areas in churches and to point these out to the spiritual authorities in the church. We are also given the authority to anoint people for service. We work very closely with the apostles in the church.
I have never yet met a proud apostle or a proud prophet, but I have met many proud teachers, pastors and evangelists. God puts his apostles and prophets through the fires of affliction while He is raising them up. He humbles and breaks each and every one of them. A person does not mature spiritually except by suffering, and apostles and prophets suffer a lot so that they can be spiritually mature. We share in the fellowship of His sufferings, literally, so that we will be mature in Christ.
Where the churches got the idea that the pastor was the head of the church is beyond me, it is not scriptural, it is not the way God ordained for it to be. The term "pastor" is only mentioned once in the whole Bible, yet the churches today have raised up the pastors to be their kings, their idols whom they have given control over the churches. Nowhere in the Bible is this authorized, it is completely out of God's order. God's order is "first of all apostles, second prophets...." Mark 7:8 "You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."
Matt 23:8 "But you are not to be called "Rabbi", for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth "father", for you only have one Father, and He is in Heaven (I believe that this was written specifically for Catholics who call their priests "Father"). Nor are you to be called "teacher", for you have one Teacher, the Christ". Can we not say also "you are not to be called "pastor", because you have only one Pastor, Jesus"? Mark 7:8 "You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men".
99.9% of the churches do not have apostles and prophets because they don't want them. The pastors either don't believe they exist or they are afraid of the authority of apostles and prophets. The few churches that do have apostles and prophets still have a hard time functioning properly because the apostles don't understand their authority and responsibility.

Light in the Darkness
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not understand it." John 1:5
Many of us have been trying to warn our brothers and sisters-in-the-Lord about what is coming upon this nation. We have tried to warn the churches about what is coming. We have been rejected, laughed at, scorned and ridiculed, argued with and have been looked down upon with contempt. Few have listened to the message. Few will be prepared for what is coming, only the humble and meek of heart.
The light, the Holy Spirit, has been trying to shine in the darkness, the dead churches, but they have not understood it. The Light has been trying to shed light upon what is about to be poured out upon this country, but the darkness refuses to believe the warnings.
We've done what we can and, thank the Lord, some have listened. But the time is at hand when the warnings will cease. The time is at hand when great calamity upon calamity upon calamity will be poured out upon this nation and its people, the Lord's wrath will no longer be delayed.
This is a message that I drafted in early December, but the Lord would not let me publish it until today. That tells me time is very, very short, judgment is at hand.

Thank You!
This is not a prophetic message from the Lord, it is a personal message from my heart. I just want to thank all of you who have sent words of support and encouragement since I began this blog last year. Many of those messages have touched my heart very deeply, especiallly the ones in which people tell me how the Lord led them to this site and how it has changed their lives, how it has challenged them to get closer to the Lord and begin to prepare for the horrors that God is about to unleash upon this nation. I have also been touched by the number of people who have asked to be included on my mailing list for the blog.
When the Lord had me begin this blog in March of last year with the prophetic message "The Destruction of the USA", I had no idea how people would be led to the site to read it. The Lord had me post it on a number of so-called "Christian forums" where the responses were unbelieveably negative and hostile. But I guess that enough people saw it and believed in the message, that they began to follow my blog and to send it to their friends. I have no idea how many people actually follow it now, but I have received responses from people literally all over the world. 98% of those responses are positive, are encouraging, are supportive and are confirming. I never in my wildest dreams expected anything like this. It has truly been humbling and heart-warming to know that the Lord has used this site to reach so many people so that they can draw closer to Him and prepare for what is coming very, very quickly upon this nation.
A prophet doesn't need people confirming the words the Lord gives him to speak - we speak them out of obedience to the Lord, regardless of the consequences. We expect opposition and attacks because most people won't listen. But it is comforting, encouraging and uplifting to hear from so many of you who tell me that the Lord has been speaking to you about the very things I've written about on my blog. It is nice to hear confirming voices. Thank you all!

The End Has Come
Ezekiel 7
The End Has Come
1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says to the United States of America: The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land. 3 The end is now upon you and I will unleash my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices. 4 I will not look on you with pity or spare you; I will surely repay you for your conduct and the detestable practices among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
5 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Disaster! An unheard-of disaster is coming. 6 The end has come! The end has come! It has roused itself against you. It has come! 7 Doom has come upon you—you who dwell in the land. The time has come, the day is near; there is panic, not joy, upon the mountains. 8 I am about to pour out my wrath on you and spend my anger against you; I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices. 9 I will not look on you with pity or spare you; I will repay you in accordance with your conduct and the detestable practices among you. Then you will know that it is I the LORD who strikes the blow.
10 "The day is here! It has come! Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed! 11 Violence has grown into [b] a rod to punish wickedness; none of the people will be left, none of that crowd—no wealth, nothing of value. 12 The time has come, the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller grieve, for wrath is upon the whole crowd. 13 The seller will not recover the land he has sold as long as both of them live, for the vision concerning the whole crowd will not be reversed. Because of their sins, not one of them will preserve his life. 14 Though they blow the trumpet and get everything ready, no one will go into battle, for my wrath is upon the whole crowd.
15 "Outside is the sword, inside are plague and famine; those in the country will die by the sword, and those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague. 16 All who survive and escape will be in the mountains, moaning like doves of the valleys, each because of his sins. 17 Every hand will go limp, and every knee will become as weak as water. 18 They will put on sackcloth and be clothed with terror. Their faces will be covered with shame and their heads will be shaved. 19 They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be an unclean thing. Their silver and gold will not be able to save them in the day of the LORD's wrath. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it, for it has made them stumble into sin. 20 They were proud of their beautiful jewelry and used it to make their detestable idols and vile images. Therefore I will turn these into an unclean thing for them. 21 I will hand it all over as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked of the earth, and they will defile it. 22 I will turn my face away from them, and they will desecrate my treasured place; robbers will enter it and desecrate it.
23 "Prepare chains, because the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of violence. 24 I will bring the most wicked of the nations to take possession of their houses; I will put an end to the pride of the mighty, and their sanctuaries will be desecrated. 25 When terror comes, they will seek peace, but there will be none. 26 Calamity upon calamity will come, and rumor upon rumor. They will try to get a vision from the prophet; the teaching of the law by the priest will be lost, as will the counsel of the elders. 27 The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and by their own standards I will judge them. Then they will know that I am the LORD."
" Barack Obama I warned you NOT TO TOUCH MY HOLY LAND! Yet in your arrogance and pride you and your top officials CONDEMNED MY PEOPLE AND MY LAND!! You are trying to force my people into splitting My Holy City! You also recently split your own nation by forcing open the jaws of the citizens and forcing them to swallow an abomination called Obamacare.
"Therefore says the Lord God I will physically split your nation in two with an earthquake like has never occured before.It will cause a chasm in the earth that will swallow up cities and people. Millions will die and the devastation will be beyond belief. The blood of everyone who dies will be upon your hands for all eternity, you will never escape the guilt.
"This is the beginning of horrors that will be unleashed upon the USA, just the beginning."

Using these messages on other sites
Several people have written me asking if they can post my messages on their sites. Anyone who reads this blog has my permission to use any of these prophetic messages wherever they would like to. The idea is to get the word out to as many as possible so that they will be better prepared for the horrors that God is about to unleash upon the USA.
The only people who may not use my blog messages are the press. The news media is forbidden to use my messages in any shape or form, in whole or in part, except with my personal written permission.

A Letter to Obama
This is a copy of the letter I mailed to Barack Obama today.
Clifford T. Hilbert
P.O. Box 831293
Richardson, TX 75083
Barack Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington, D.C. 20500
March 1, 2010
The following words are from the Lord God Almighty to you, Barack Obama. They are not my words, I am only the messenger.
Jer 4:5-9 - 5 "Announce in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem and say: 'Sound the trumpet throughout the land!' Cry aloud and say: 'Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities!' 6 Raise the signal to go to Zion! Flee for safety without delay! For I am bringing disaster from the north, even terrible destruction." 7 A lion has come out of his lair; a destroyer of nations has set out. He has left his place to lay waste your land. Your towns will lie in ruins without inhabitant. 8 So put on sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned away from us. 9 "In that day," declares the LORD, "the king and the officials will lose heart, the priests will be horrified, and the prophets will be appalled."
Jer 4:22 - "My people are fools, they do not know me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. You, Barack Obama, are skilled in doing evil; you know not how to do good."
Jer 27-28 -This is what the LORD says: "The whole land will be ruined, though I will not destroy it completely. 28 Therefore the earth will mourn and the heavens above grow dark, because I have spoken and will not relent, I have decided and will not turn back."
Jer 6-7 - This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression. 7 As a well pours out its water, so she pours out her wickedness. Violence and destruction resound in her; her sickness and wounds are ever before me.
Jer 6:13-17, 19 - From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. 14 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace. 15 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them," says the LORD. 16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it.' 17 I appointed watchmen over you and said, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But you said, 'We will not listen.'19 Hear, O earth: I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law.
Jer 7:27-29, 34 -27 "When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you; when you call to them, they will not answer. 28 Therefore say to them, 'This is the nation that has not obeyed the LORD its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips. 29 Cut off your hair and throw it away; take up a lament on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and abandoned this generation that is under his wrath. 34 I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, for the land will become desolate.
Jer 8:3 - Wherever I banish them, all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the LORD Almighty.'
Jer 11:11 - Therefore this is what the LORD says: 'I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.
Jer 13: 18, 21-25 - Say to the king and to the queen mother, "Come down from your thrones, for your glorious crowns will fall from your heads.” 21 What will you say when the LORD sets over you those you cultivated as your special allies? Will not pain grip you like that of a woman in labor? 22 And if you ask yourself, "Why has this happened to me?"— it is because of your many sins that your skirts have been torn off and your body mistreated. 23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil. 24 "I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind. 25 This is your lot, the portion I have decreed for you," declares the LORD, "because you have forgotten me and trusted in false gods.”
Jer 15:13-14 - Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder, without charge, because of all your sins throughout your country.14 I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for my anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you.
Jer 16:9, 13, 18 - 9 For this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Before your eyes and in your days I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in this place. 13 So I will throw you out of this land into a land neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.' 18 I will repay them double for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land with the lifeless forms of their vile images and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols."
Jer 17:4 - Through your own fault you will lose the inheritance I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for you have kindled my anger, and it will burn forever."
Jer 22:26-27 - I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. 27 You will never come back to the land you long to return to."
Jer 25:34-38 - Weep and wail, you shepherds; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For your time to be slaughtered has come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery. 35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee, the leaders of the flock no place to escape. 36 Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture. 37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 38 Like a lion he will leave his lair, and their land will become desolate because of the sword [e] of the oppressor and because of the LORD's fierce anger
Jer 50:31 - "See, I am against you, O arrogant one," declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty, "for your day has come, the time for you to be punished.
Isa 1:4, 15, 21 23, 31- . 4 Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him. 15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; 21 See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her— but now murderers! 23 Your rulers are rebels, companions of thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. 31 The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire."
Isa 2:11-12 - 11 The eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled and the pride of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day. 12 The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled),
Isa 3:9, 11 - 9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves. 11 Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done.
Isa 5:20-21 - 20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.
Isa 16:13 - This is the word the LORD has already spoken concerning the USA. 14 But now the LORD says: "Within three years, as a servant bound by contract would count them, Moab's splendor and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble."
Isa 22:19 - 19 I will depose you from your office, and you will be ousted from your position.
“Barack Obama, keep your hands off My Holy Land!”
Personally, I pray that God will block every effort you make, no matter how small. People have asked me if you are the Antichrist, but I have told them that you are not THE Antichrist, but you are AN antichrist. There is no truth in you. Enclosed is a prophetic message for this nation that the Lord gave me last March, it is titled “The Destruction of the USA.” Every word of it will come to pass, including the passage where I stated that you will bow your knees in surrender to the Russians.

March 1, 2010
The following words are from the Lord God Almighty to you, Barack Obama. They are not my words, I am only the messenger.
Jer 4:5-9 - 5 "Announce in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem and say: 'Sound the trumpet throughout the land!' Cry aloud and say: 'Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities!' 6 Raise the signal to go to Zion! Flee for safety without delay! For I am bringing disaster from the north, even terrible destruction." 7 A lion has come out of his lair; a destroyer of nations has set out. He has left his place to lay waste your land. Your towns will lie in ruins without inhabitant. 8 So put on sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned away from us. 9 "In that day," declares the LORD, "the king and the officials will lose heart, the priests will be horrified, and the prophets will be appalled."
Jer 4:22 - "My people are fools, they do not know me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. You, Barack Obama, are skilled in doing evil; you know not how to do good."
Jer 27-28 -This is what the LORD says: "The whole land will be ruined, though I will not destroy it completely. 28 Therefore the earth will mourn and the heavens above grow dark, because I have spoken and will not relent, I have decided and will not turn back."
Jer 6-7 - This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression. 7 As a well pours out its water, so she pours out her wickedness. Violence and destruction resound in her; her sickness and wounds are ever before me.
Jer 6:13-17, 19 - From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. 14 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace. 15 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them," says the LORD. 16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it.' 17 I appointed watchmen over you and said, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But you said, 'We will not listen.'19 Hear, O earth: I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law.
Jer 7:27-29, 34 -27 "When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you; when you call to them, they will not answer. 28 Therefore say to them, 'This is the nation that has not obeyed the LORD its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips. 29 Cut off your hair and throw it away; take up a lament on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and abandoned this generation that is under his wrath. 34 I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, for the land will become desolate.
Jer 8:3 - Wherever I banish them, all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the LORD Almighty.'
Jer 11:11 - Therefore this is what the LORD says: 'I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.
Jer 13: 18, 21-25 - Say to the king and to the queen mother, "Come down from your thrones, for your glorious crowns will fall from your heads.” 21 What will you say when the LORD sets over you those you cultivated as your special allies? Will not pain grip you like that of a woman in labor? 22 And if you ask yourself, "Why has this happened to me?"— it is because of your many sins that your skirts have been torn off and your body mistreated. 23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil. 24 "I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind. 25 This is your lot, the portion I have decreed for you," declares the LORD, "because you have forgotten me and trusted in false gods.”
Jer 15:13-14 - Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder, without charge, because of all your sins throughout your country.14 I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for my anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you.
Jer 16:9, 13, 18 - 9 For this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Before your eyes and in your days I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in this place. 13 So I will throw you out of this land into a land neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.' 18 I will repay them double for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land with the lifeless forms of their vile images and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols."
Jer 17:4 - Through your own fault you will lose the inheritance I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for you have kindled my anger, and it will burn forever."
Jer 22:26-27 - I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. 27 You will never come back to the land you long to return to."
Jer 25:34-38 - Weep and wail, you shepherds; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For your time to be slaughtered has come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery. 35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee, the leaders of the flock no place to escape. 36 Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture. 37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 38 Like a lion he will leave his lair, and their land will become desolate because of the sword [e] of the oppressor and because of the LORD's fierce anger
Jer 50:31 - "See, I am against you, O arrogant one," declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty, "for your day has come, the time for you to be punished.
Isa 1:4, 15, 21 23, 31- . 4 Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him. 15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; 21 See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her— but now murderers! 23 Your rulers are rebels, companions of thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. 31 The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire."
Isa 2:11-12 - 11 The eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled and the pride of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day. 12 The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled),
Isa 3:9, 11 - 9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves. 11 Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done.
Isa 5:20-21 - 20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.
Isa 16:13 - This is the word the LORD has already spoken concerning the USA. 14 But now the LORD says: "Within three years, as a servant bound by contract would count them, Moab's splendor and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble."
Isa 22:19 - 19 I will depose you from your office, and you will be ousted from your position.
“Barack Obama, keep your hands off My Holy Land!”
Personally, I pray that God will block every effort you make, no matter how small. People have asked me if you are the Antichrist, but I have told them that you are not THE Antichrist, but you are AN antichrist. There is no truth in you. Enclosed is a prophetic message for this nation that the Lord gave me last March, it is titled “The Destruction of the USA.” Every word of it will come to pass, including the passage where I stated that you will bow your knees in surrender to the Russians.

America's Funeral
Tonight I was listening to a CD by the Andre Rieu orchestra on which they played "America The Beautiful". This rendition was played very slowly and it reminded me of a funeral dirge. My immediate thought was that this was America's funeral song being played. It brought tears to my eyes because I knew that America's funeral has begun. God have mercy on His servants.
Added on Feb. 26: Again last night I listened to this CD and a picture came to my mind as it was playing. I could see soldiers in their full dress uniforms carrying a casket that had an American flag draped on it - it was America's casket.

Major Earthquakes Coming to USA
For several months I have been reading prophetic words about a major earthquake which was going to hit along the New Madrid Faultline, with Chicago being destroyed along with other cities. I read these things but don't post about them until I know that these prophecies are from the Lord. There is now no question in my mind that there are a series of major earthquakes coming that will literally shake this nation, physically and emotionally. They will be catastrophic! They will kill millions and the destruction will be indescribable. The quake in Haiti will seem like a minor tremor compared to what is about to happen here in this country. The earth is literally going to open up and swallow people into itself.
In the past few months we have seen earthquakes in Haiti, Baja California, many minor tremors in Yellowstone Park and Oklahoma, even one in Texas, just south of Dallas. And two days ago there was a 4.3 quake near Chicago. These are harbingers of what is to come, and they are coming quickly. Even now as I write this I feel a quaking in my spirit, almost like I can literally feel a quake happening here in Dallas right now.
I believe that the quakes will have something to do with this nation's actions against Israel. We know that the Obamination is against Israel, regardless of what he may say in public. Something is coming that will cause the Obamination to strongly condemn or even break ties with Israel. It may have something to do with splitting Jerusalem between the Israelites and the Palestinians. The Lord says to you Barak Obama "Keep your hands off my Holy City!"
Obama has been humiliated recently with the gubernatorinal posts in two states going to Republicans and the Senator's race in Massachusetts won by a Republican. His healthcare plan is now in great jeopardy. The polls show him losing strength. He needs to do something to regain his pride and his political power. That thing may be a move to try and get Israel to divide the Holy City. It will result in the USA being split in two by earthquakes.
He is the most conceited, egotistical, self-centered, arrogant, condescending and patronizing man ever to occupy the Oval Office. And he is also half-black. God is going to use our proud, arrogant half-black President to surrender this nation to the Russians when they hit us with nuclear bombs, probably in 2012. He will bow his knees in surrender to them, his humiliation will be complete. We didn't go to Africa and capture the Africans, but we most certainly did use them as slaves here in this country. So God, in His own ironic way, will use our first half-black President to cede this country into slavery. And make no doubt about it, our citizens will be slaves, many will be sent overseas to work as slaves in other nations. God's judgment upon this nation will be worse than anyone can imagine.
The only hope you can personally have is in the Lord. I keep repeating this over and over and over - now is the time to turn off the idiot boxes and turn to the Lord. You need to develop a very close, personal relationship with Him so that He can lead you to safety during the horrible times that are coming.
This morning I received this e-mail:
"I have read your blog with trembling. I have recently sat under ‘name it and claim it’ theology, and I have spent a lifetime ignoring the reality of God’s judgment. I want to mock your words and just cast them aside, but I am unable to do that. I am trembling. I have been led to your site and the revelation therein is truly life changing. Your instruction to lay everything aside and start reading the Bible has been on my heart for some time. I have not been obedient in that. I am grateful that God led me to this site and reaffirmed this critical truth to me yet again.God bless you".
I sat at my computer with tears in my eyes because I was so touched by this e-mail. To know that the Lord had removed the scales from someone's eyes and shown them the truth through what He instructed me to write, is one of the greatest rewards I have ever received. I pray that He will use this blogsite to bring many more to the truth and to prepare them for the horrors that He is about to unleash on this ungodly nation. God have mercy on His servants.

To the United States of America
THUS SAYETH THE LORD GOD OF HOSTS
From Jeremiah
2:5 - 25 This is what the LORD says: "What fault did your fathers find in me, that they strayed so far from me? They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves
2:11 - Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their Glory for worthless idols.
2:20-30 - "Long ago you broke off your yoke and tore off your bonds; you said, 'I will not serve you!' Indeed, on every high hill and under every spreading tree you lay down as a prostitute. 21 I had planted you like a choice vine of sound and reliable stock. How then did you turn against me into a corrupt, wild vine? 22 Although you wash yourself with soda and use an abundance of soap, the stain of your guilt is still before me," declares the Sovereign Lord. 23 "How can you say, 'I am not defiled; I have not run after the Baals'? See how you behaved in the valley; consider what you have done. You are a swift she-camel running here and there, 24 a wild donkey accustomed to the desert, sniffing the wind in her craving-- in her heat who can restrain her? Any males that pursue her need not tire themselves; at mating time they will find her. 25 Do not run until your feet are bare and your throat is dry. But you said, 'It's no use! I love foreign gods, and I must go after them.' 26 "As a thief is disgraced when he is caught, so the United States of America is disgraced-- they, their President and their officials, their priests and their prophets. 27 They say to wood, 'You are my father,' and to stone, 'You gave me birth.' They have turned their backs to me and not their faces; yet when they are in trouble, they say, 'Come and save us!' 28 Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you have as many gods as you have towns. 29 "Why do you bring charges against me? You have all rebelled against me," declares the Lord. 30 "In vain I punished your people; they did not respond to correction. Your sword has devoured your prophets like a ravening lion.
3:1 - If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him and marries another man, should he return to her again? Would not the land be completely defiled? But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers-- would you now return to me?" declares the Lord.
3:21 - A cry is heard on the barren heights, the weeping and pleading of the people of America, because they have perverted their ways and have forgotten the LORD their God.
4:5-22 - "Announce in America and say: 'Sound the trumpet throughout the land!' Cry aloud and say: 'Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities!' 6 Raise the signal to go to Zion! Flee for safety without delay! For I am bringing disaster from the north, even terrible destruction." 7 A lion has come out of his lair; a destroyer of nations has set out. He has left his place to lay waste your land. Your towns will lie in ruins without inhabitant. 8 So put on sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned away from us. 9 "In that day," declares the Lord, "Obama and the officials will lose heart, the priests will be horrified, and the prophets will be appalled." 10 Then I said, "Ah, Sovereign Lord, how completely you have deceived this people by saying, 'You will have peace,' when the sword is at our throats." 11 At that time this people and their country will be told, "A scorching wind from the barren heights in the desert blows toward my people, but not to winnow or cleanse; 12 a wind too strong for that comes from me. Now I pronounce my judgments against them." 13 Look! He advances like the clouds, his chariots come like a whirlwind, his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! We are ruined! 14 O America, wash the evil from your heart and be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts? 15 A voice is announcing from Dan, proclaiming disaster from the hills of Ephraim. 16 "Tell this to the nation, proclaim it to the USA: 'A besieging army is coming from a distant land, raising a war cry against the cities of your country. 17 They surround her like men guarding a field, because she has rebelled against me,' " declares the Lord. 18 "Your own conduct and actions have brought this upon you. This is your punishment. How bitter it is! How it pierces to the heart!" 19 Oh, my anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain. Oh, the agony of my heart! My heart pounds within me, I cannot keep silent. For I have heard the sound of the trumpet; I have heard the battle cry. 20 Disaster follows disaster; the whole land lies in ruins. In an instant my tents are destroyed, my shelter in a moment. 21 How long must I see the battle standard and hear the sound of the trumpet? 22 "My people are fools; they do not know me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil; they know not how to do good.
4:27-28 - This is what the LORD says: "The whole land will be ruined, though I will not destroy it completely. 28 Therefore the earth will mourn and the heavens above grow dark, because I have spoken and will not relent, I have decided and will not turn back5:11-13 - The United States of America has been utterly unfaithful to me," declares the Lord. 12 They have lied about the Lord; they said, "He will do nothing! No harm will come to us; we will never see sword or famine. 13 The prophets are but wind and the word is not in them; so let what they say be done to them
5:15-19 - O America," declares the Lord, "I am bringing a distant nation against you-- an ancient and enduring nation, a people whose language you do not know, whose speech you do not understand. 16 Their quivers are like an open grave; all of them are mighty warriors. 17 They will devour your harvests and food, devour your sons and daughters; they will devour your flocks and herds, devour your vines and fig trees. With the sword they will destroy the fortified cities in which you trust. 18 "Yet even in those days," declares the Lord, "I will not destroy you completely. 19 And when the people ask, 'Why has the LORD our God done all this to us?' you will tell them, 'As you have forsaken me and served foreign gods in your own land, so now you will serve foreigners in a land not your own.'5:26-29 - Among my people are wicked men who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch men. 27 Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful 28 and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not plead the case of the fatherless to win it, they do not defend the rights of the poor.
5:30-31 - A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land: 31 The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?
6:6-7 - This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Cut down the trees and build siege ramps against Washington, D.C. This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression. 7 As a well pours out its water, so she pours out her wickedness. Violence and destruction resound in her; her sickness and wounds are ever before me.
6:10-23 - To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed so they cannot hear. The word of the LORD is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it. 11 But I am full of the wrath of the Lord, and I cannot hold it in. "Pour it out on the children in the street and on the young men gathered together; both husband and wife will be caught in it, and the old, those weighed down with years. 12 Their houses will be turned over to others, together with their fields and their wives, when I stretch out my hand against those who live in the land," declares the Lord. 13 "From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. 14 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace. 15 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them," says the Lord. 16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it.' 17 I appointed watchmen over you and said, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But you said, 'We will not listen.' 18 Therefore hear, O nations; observe, O witnesses, what will happen to them. 19 Hear, O earth: I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law. 20 What do I care about incense from Sheba or sweet calamus from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable; your sacrifices do not please me." 21 Therefore this is what the LORD says: "I will put obstacles before this people. Fathers and sons alike will stumble over them; neighbors and friends will perish." 22 This is what the LORD says: "Look, an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is being stirred up from the ends of the earth. 23 They are armed with bow and spear; they are cruel and show no mercy. They sound like the roaring sea as they ride on their horses; they come like men in battle formation to attack you.
7:16 - So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you. 7:20 - 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: My anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground, and it will burn and not be quenched.
7:27-29 - When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you; when you call to them, they will not answer. 28 Therefore say to them, 'This is the nation that has not obeyed the LORD its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips. 29 Cut off your hair and throw it away; take up a lament on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and abandoned this generation that is under his wrath.
7:34 - I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in the towns and the streets of America, for the land will become desolate.
8:3 - Wherever I banish them, all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the LORD Almighty.'
8:13 - 'I will take away their harvest, declares the Lord. There will be no grapes on the vine. There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them. '
8:16 - The snorting of the enemy's horses is heard from Dan; at the neighing of their stallions the whole land trembles. They have come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there.
9:8-16 - Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks with deceit. With his mouth each speaks cordially to his neighbor, but in his heart he sets a trap for him. 9 Should I not punish them for this?" declares the Lord. "Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?" 10 I will weep and wail for the mountains and take up a lament concerning the desert pastures. They are desolate and untraveled, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. The birds of the air have fled and the animals are gone. 11 "I will make America a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals; and I will lay waste their towns so no one can live there." 12 What man is wise enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the LORD and can explain it? Why has the land been ruined and laid waste like a desert that no one can cross? 13 The LORD said, "It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law. 14 Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts; they have followed the Baals, as their fathers taught them." 15 Therefore, this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "See, I will make this people eat bitter food and drink poisoned water. 16 I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will pursue them with the sword until I have destroyed them.
9:22 - Say, "This is what the LORD declares: " 'The dead bodies of men will lie like refuse on the open field, like cut grain behind the reaper, with no one to gather them.'
10:18 - For this is what the LORD says: "At this time I will hurl out those who live in this land; I will bring distress on them so that they may be captured."
10:22 - Listen! The report is coming-- a great commotion from the land of the north! It will make their towns desolate, a haunt of jackals
11:11 - Therefore this is what the LORD says: 'I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.
11:16 - The LORD called you a thriving olive tree with fruit beautiful in form. But with the roar of a mighty storm he will set it on fire, and its branches will be broken.
11:22 - therefore this is what the LORD Almighty says: 'I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine.
12:11-13 - It will be made a wasteland, parched and desolate before me; the whole land will be laid waste because there is no one who cares. 12 Over all the barren heights in the desert destroyers will swarm, for the sword of the LORD will devour from one end of the land to the other; no one will be safe. 13 They will sow wheat but reap thorns; they will wear themselves out but gain nothing. So bear the shame of your harvest because of the LORD's fierce anger.
13:18-25 - Say to the President and to the First Lady, "Come down from your thrones, for your glorious crowns will fall from your heads." 19 The cities will be shut up, and there will be no one to open them. All will be carried into exile, carried completely away. 20 Lift up your eyes and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock that was entrusted to you, the sheep of which you boasted? 21 What will you say when [the LORD] sets over you those you cultivated as your special allies? Will not pain grip you like that of a woman in labor? 22 And if you ask yourself, "Why has this happened to me?"-- it is because of your many sins that your skirts have been torn off and your body mistreated. 23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil. 24 "I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind. 25 This is your lot, the portion I have decreed for you," declares the Lord, "because you have forgotten me and trusted in false gods.
14:10-16 - This is what the LORD says about this people: "They greatly love to wander; they do not restrain their feet. So the LORD does not accept them; he will now remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins." 11 Then the LORD said to me, "Do not pray for the well-being of this people. 12 Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry; though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword, famine and plague." 13 But I said, "Ah, Sovereign Lord, the prophets keep telling them, 'You will not see the sword or suffer famine. Indeed, I will give you lasting peace in this place.' " 14 Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds. 15 Therefore, this is what the LORD says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, 'No sword or famine will touch this land.' Those same prophets will perish by sword and famine. 16 And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve.
15:1-2 - 1 Then the LORD said to me: "Even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people. Send them away from my presence! Let them go! 2 And if they ask you, 'Where shall we go?' tell them, 'This is what the LORD says: " 'Those destined for death, to death; those for the sword, to the sword; those for starvation, to starvation; those for captivity, to captivity.' 15:6-9 - You have rejected me," declares the Lord. "You keep on backsliding. So I will lay hands on you and destroy you; I can no longer show compassion. 7 I will winnow them with a winnowing fork at the city gates of the land. I will bring bereavement and destruction on my people, for they have not changed their ways. 8 I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. At midday I will bring a destroyer against the mothers of their young men; suddenly I will bring down on them anguish and terror. 9 The mother of seven will grow faint and breathe her last. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. I will put the survivors to the sword before their enemies," declares the Lord.
15:13-14 - Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder, without charge, because of all your sins throughout your country. 14 I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for my anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you
16:6-7 - Both high and low will die in this land.8 They will not be buried or mourned,9 and no one will cut10 himself or shave11 his head for them. 7 No one will offer food12 to comfort those who mourn13 for the dead--not even for a father or a mother--nor will anyone give them a drink to console14 them.
16:9 - For this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Before your eyes and in your days I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in this place
16:13 - So I will throw you out of this land into a land neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.'
16:16-18 - "But now I will send for many fishermen," declares the Lord, "and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill and from the crevices of the rocks. 17 My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes. 18 I will repay them double for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land with the lifeless forms of their vile images and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols
17:3-4 - My mountain in the land and your wealth and all your treasures I will give away as plunder, together with your high places, because of sin throughout your country. 4 Through your own fault you will lose the inheritance I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for you have kindled my anger, and it will burn forever.
18:15-17 - Yet my people have forgotten me; they burn incense to worthless idols, which made them stumble in their ways and in the ancient paths. They made them walk in bypaths and on roads not built up. 16 Their land will be laid waste, an object of lasting scorn; all who pass by will be appalled and will shake their heads. 17 Like a wind from the east, I will scatter them before their enemies; I will show them my back and not my face in the day of their disaster
18:23 - Do not forgive their crimes or blot out their sins from your sight. Let them be overthrown before you; deal with them in the time of your anger
19:3-4 - 'Hear the word of the Lord, O Barak Obama and people of America. This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Listen! I am going to bring a disaster on this place that will make the ears of everyone who hears of it tingle. 4 For they have forsaken me and made this a place of foreign gods; they have burned sacrifices in it to gods that neither they nor their fathers nor their leaders ever knew, and they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.
19:6-9 - So beware, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when people will no longer call this place Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. 7 " 'In this place I will ruin the plans Washington, D.C.. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies, at the hands of those who seek their lives, and I will give their carcasses as food to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth. 8 I will devastate this city and make it an object of scorn; all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff because of all its wounds. 9 I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another's flesh during the stress of the siege imposed on them by the enemies who seek their lives
19:15 - This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Listen! I am going to bring on this city and the villages around it every disaster I pronounced against them, because they were stiff-necked and would not listen to my words.'
20:4-6 - For this is what the LORD says: 'I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; with your own eyes you will see them fall by the sword of their enemies. I will hand all America over to the king of Babylon, who will carry them away to Babylon or put them to the sword. 5 I will hand over to their enemies all the wealth of this city--all its products, all its valuables and all the treasures of the Presidents. They will take it away as plunder and carry it off to Babylon. 6 And you,Barak Obama, and all who live in your house will go into exile to Babylon. There you will die and be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied lies.'
21:4-7 - 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I am about to turn against you the weapons of war that are in your hands, which you are using to fight the king of Babylon and the Babylonians who are outside the wall besieging you. And I will gather them inside this city. 5 I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and a mighty arm in anger and fury and great wrath. 6 I will strike down those who live in this city--both men and animals--and they will die of a terrible plague.
21:10 - I have determined to do this city harm and not good, declares the Lord. It will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will destroy it with fire.
21:13-14 - I am against you, you who live above this valley on the rocky plateau, declares the Lord-- you who say, "Who can come against us? Who can enter our refuge?" 14 I will punish you as your deeds deserve, declares the Lord. I will kindle a fire in your forests that will consume everything around you.'
22:26-27 - I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. 27 You will never come back to the land you long to return to.
23:1-2 - Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!" declares the Lord. 2 Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people: "Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done," declares the Lord
23:11-13 - Both prophet and priest are godless; even in my temple I find their wickedness," declares the Lord. 12 "Therefore their path will become slippery; they will be banished to darkness and there they will fall. I will bring disaster on them in the year they are punished," declares the Lord.
23:16-25 - This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. 17 They keep saying to those who despise me, 'The LORD says: You will have peace.' And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say, 'No harm will come to you.' 18 But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see or to hear his word? Who has listened and heard his word? 19 See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked. 20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand it clearly. 21 I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied. 22 But if they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people and would have turned them from their evil ways and from their evil deeds. 23 "Am I only a God nearby," declares the Lord, "and not a God far away? 24 Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?" declares the Lord. "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the Lord
23:30-32 - Therefore," declares the Lord, "I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me. 31 Yes," declares the Lord, "I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, 'The LORD declares.' 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams," declares the Lord. "They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least," declares the Lord
25:34-38 - Weep and wail, you shepherds; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For your time to be slaughtered has come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery. 35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee, the leaders of the flock no place to escape. 36 Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture. 37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste because of the fierce anger of the Lord. 38 Like a lion he will leave his lair, and their land will become desolate because of the sword of the oppressor and because of the LORD's fierce anger
From Amos
3:6-8 - When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?(Think of The Twin Towers, Hurricane Katrina, Haiti) 7 Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. 8 The lion has roared-- who will not fear? The Sovereign LORD has spoken-- who can but prophesy
7:17 - Therefore this is what the LORD says: " 'Your wife will become a prostitute in the city, and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword. Your land will be measured and divided up, and you yourself will die in a pagan country. And America will certainly go into exile, away from their native land
8:3 - In that day," declares the Sovereign Lord, "the songs in the temple will turn to wailing. Many, many bodies--flung everywhere! Silence
8:10-12 - I will turn your religious feasts into mourning and all your singing into weeping. I will make all of you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make that time like mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day. 11 "The days are coming," declares the Sovereign Lord, "when I will send a famine through the land-- not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. 12 Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it. 9:10 - All the sinners among my people will die by the sword, all those who say, 'Disaster will not overtake or meet us.'
From Obadiah
2-4 - "See, I will make you small among the nations; you will be utterly despised. 3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, 'Who can bring me down to the ground?' 4 Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down," declares the Lord.
6-7 - But how the United States will be ransacked, her hidden treasures pillaged! 7 All your allies will force you to the border; your friends will deceive and overpower you; those who eat your bread will set a trap for you, but you will not detect it.

From Jeremiah
2:5 - 25 This is what the LORD says: "What fault did your fathers find in me, that they strayed so far from me? They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves
2:11 - Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their Glory for worthless idols.
2:20-30 - "Long ago you broke off your yoke and tore off your bonds; you said, 'I will not serve you!' Indeed, on every high hill and under every spreading tree you lay down as a prostitute. 21 I had planted you like a choice vine of sound and reliable stock. How then did you turn against me into a corrupt, wild vine? 22 Although you wash yourself with soda and use an abundance of soap, the stain of your guilt is still before me," declares the Sovereign Lord. 23 "How can you say, 'I am not defiled; I have not run after the Baals'? See how you behaved in the valley; consider what you have done. You are a swift she-camel running here and there, 24 a wild donkey accustomed to the desert, sniffing the wind in her craving-- in her heat who can restrain her? Any males that pursue her need not tire themselves; at mating time they will find her. 25 Do not run until your feet are bare and your throat is dry. But you said, 'It's no use! I love foreign gods, and I must go after them.' 26 "As a thief is disgraced when he is caught, so the United States of America is disgraced-- they, their President and their officials, their priests and their prophets. 27 They say to wood, 'You are my father,' and to stone, 'You gave me birth.' They have turned their backs to me and not their faces; yet when they are in trouble, they say, 'Come and save us!' 28 Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you have as many gods as you have towns. 29 "Why do you bring charges against me? You have all rebelled against me," declares the Lord. 30 "In vain I punished your people; they did not respond to correction. Your sword has devoured your prophets like a ravening lion.
3:1 - If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him and marries another man, should he return to her again? Would not the land be completely defiled? But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers-- would you now return to me?" declares the Lord.
3:21 - A cry is heard on the barren heights, the weeping and pleading of the people of America, because they have perverted their ways and have forgotten the LORD their God.
4:5-22 - "Announce in America and say: 'Sound the trumpet throughout the land!' Cry aloud and say: 'Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities!' 6 Raise the signal to go to Zion! Flee for safety without delay! For I am bringing disaster from the north, even terrible destruction." 7 A lion has come out of his lair; a destroyer of nations has set out. He has left his place to lay waste your land. Your towns will lie in ruins without inhabitant. 8 So put on sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned away from us. 9 "In that day," declares the Lord, "Obama and the officials will lose heart, the priests will be horrified, and the prophets will be appalled." 10 Then I said, "Ah, Sovereign Lord, how completely you have deceived this people by saying, 'You will have peace,' when the sword is at our throats." 11 At that time this people and their country will be told, "A scorching wind from the barren heights in the desert blows toward my people, but not to winnow or cleanse; 12 a wind too strong for that comes from me. Now I pronounce my judgments against them." 13 Look! He advances like the clouds, his chariots come like a whirlwind, his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! We are ruined! 14 O America, wash the evil from your heart and be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts? 15 A voice is announcing from Dan, proclaiming disaster from the hills of Ephraim. 16 "Tell this to the nation, proclaim it to the USA: 'A besieging army is coming from a distant land, raising a war cry against the cities of your country. 17 They surround her like men guarding a field, because she has rebelled against me,' " declares the Lord. 18 "Your own conduct and actions have brought this upon you. This is your punishment. How bitter it is! How it pierces to the heart!" 19 Oh, my anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain. Oh, the agony of my heart! My heart pounds within me, I cannot keep silent. For I have heard the sound of the trumpet; I have heard the battle cry. 20 Disaster follows disaster; the whole land lies in ruins. In an instant my tents are destroyed, my shelter in a moment. 21 How long must I see the battle standard and hear the sound of the trumpet? 22 "My people are fools; they do not know me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil; they know not how to do good.
4:27-28 - This is what the LORD says: "The whole land will be ruined, though I will not destroy it completely. 28 Therefore the earth will mourn and the heavens above grow dark, because I have spoken and will not relent, I have decided and will not turn back5:11-13 - The United States of America has been utterly unfaithful to me," declares the Lord. 12 They have lied about the Lord; they said, "He will do nothing! No harm will come to us; we will never see sword or famine. 13 The prophets are but wind and the word is not in them; so let what they say be done to them
5:15-19 - O America," declares the Lord, "I am bringing a distant nation against you-- an ancient and enduring nation, a people whose language you do not know, whose speech you do not understand. 16 Their quivers are like an open grave; all of them are mighty warriors. 17 They will devour your harvests and food, devour your sons and daughters; they will devour your flocks and herds, devour your vines and fig trees. With the sword they will destroy the fortified cities in which you trust. 18 "Yet even in those days," declares the Lord, "I will not destroy you completely. 19 And when the people ask, 'Why has the LORD our God done all this to us?' you will tell them, 'As you have forsaken me and served foreign gods in your own land, so now you will serve foreigners in a land not your own.'5:26-29 - Among my people are wicked men who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch men. 27 Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful 28 and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not plead the case of the fatherless to win it, they do not defend the rights of the poor.
5:30-31 - A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land: 31 The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?
6:6-7 - This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Cut down the trees and build siege ramps against Washington, D.C. This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression. 7 As a well pours out its water, so she pours out her wickedness. Violence and destruction resound in her; her sickness and wounds are ever before me.
6:10-23 - To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed so they cannot hear. The word of the LORD is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it. 11 But I am full of the wrath of the Lord, and I cannot hold it in. "Pour it out on the children in the street and on the young men gathered together; both husband and wife will be caught in it, and the old, those weighed down with years. 12 Their houses will be turned over to others, together with their fields and their wives, when I stretch out my hand against those who live in the land," declares the Lord. 13 "From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. 14 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace. 15 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them," says the Lord. 16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it.' 17 I appointed watchmen over you and said, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But you said, 'We will not listen.' 18 Therefore hear, O nations; observe, O witnesses, what will happen to them. 19 Hear, O earth: I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law. 20 What do I care about incense from Sheba or sweet calamus from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable; your sacrifices do not please me." 21 Therefore this is what the LORD says: "I will put obstacles before this people. Fathers and sons alike will stumble over them; neighbors and friends will perish." 22 This is what the LORD says: "Look, an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is being stirred up from the ends of the earth. 23 They are armed with bow and spear; they are cruel and show no mercy. They sound like the roaring sea as they ride on their horses; they come like men in battle formation to attack you.
7:16 - So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you. 7:20 - 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: My anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground, and it will burn and not be quenched.
7:27-29 - When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you; when you call to them, they will not answer. 28 Therefore say to them, 'This is the nation that has not obeyed the LORD its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips. 29 Cut off your hair and throw it away; take up a lament on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and abandoned this generation that is under his wrath.
7:34 - I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in the towns and the streets of America, for the land will become desolate.
8:3 - Wherever I banish them, all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the LORD Almighty.'
8:13 - 'I will take away their harvest, declares the Lord. There will be no grapes on the vine. There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them. '
8:16 - The snorting of the enemy's horses is heard from Dan; at the neighing of their stallions the whole land trembles. They have come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there.
9:8-16 - Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks with deceit. With his mouth each speaks cordially to his neighbor, but in his heart he sets a trap for him. 9 Should I not punish them for this?" declares the Lord. "Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?" 10 I will weep and wail for the mountains and take up a lament concerning the desert pastures. They are desolate and untraveled, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. The birds of the air have fled and the animals are gone. 11 "I will make America a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals; and I will lay waste their towns so no one can live there." 12 What man is wise enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the LORD and can explain it? Why has the land been ruined and laid waste like a desert that no one can cross? 13 The LORD said, "It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law. 14 Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts; they have followed the Baals, as their fathers taught them." 15 Therefore, this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "See, I will make this people eat bitter food and drink poisoned water. 16 I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will pursue them with the sword until I have destroyed them.
9:22 - Say, "This is what the LORD declares: " 'The dead bodies of men will lie like refuse on the open field, like cut grain behind the reaper, with no one to gather them.'
10:18 - For this is what the LORD says: "At this time I will hurl out those who live in this land; I will bring distress on them so that they may be captured."
10:22 - Listen! The report is coming-- a great commotion from the land of the north! It will make their towns desolate, a haunt of jackals
11:11 - Therefore this is what the LORD says: 'I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.
11:16 - The LORD called you a thriving olive tree with fruit beautiful in form. But with the roar of a mighty storm he will set it on fire, and its branches will be broken.
11:22 - therefore this is what the LORD Almighty says: 'I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine.
12:11-13 - It will be made a wasteland, parched and desolate before me; the whole land will be laid waste because there is no one who cares. 12 Over all the barren heights in the desert destroyers will swarm, for the sword of the LORD will devour from one end of the land to the other; no one will be safe. 13 They will sow wheat but reap thorns; they will wear themselves out but gain nothing. So bear the shame of your harvest because of the LORD's fierce anger.
13:18-25 - Say to the President and to the First Lady, "Come down from your thrones, for your glorious crowns will fall from your heads." 19 The cities will be shut up, and there will be no one to open them. All will be carried into exile, carried completely away. 20 Lift up your eyes and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock that was entrusted to you, the sheep of which you boasted? 21 What will you say when [the LORD] sets over you those you cultivated as your special allies? Will not pain grip you like that of a woman in labor? 22 And if you ask yourself, "Why has this happened to me?"-- it is because of your many sins that your skirts have been torn off and your body mistreated. 23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil. 24 "I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind. 25 This is your lot, the portion I have decreed for you," declares the Lord, "because you have forgotten me and trusted in false gods.
14:10-16 - This is what the LORD says about this people: "They greatly love to wander; they do not restrain their feet. So the LORD does not accept them; he will now remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins." 11 Then the LORD said to me, "Do not pray for the well-being of this people. 12 Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry; though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword, famine and plague." 13 But I said, "Ah, Sovereign Lord, the prophets keep telling them, 'You will not see the sword or suffer famine. Indeed, I will give you lasting peace in this place.' " 14 Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds. 15 Therefore, this is what the LORD says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, 'No sword or famine will touch this land.' Those same prophets will perish by sword and famine. 16 And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve.
15:1-2 - 1 Then the LORD said to me: "Even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people. Send them away from my presence! Let them go! 2 And if they ask you, 'Where shall we go?' tell them, 'This is what the LORD says: " 'Those destined for death, to death; those for the sword, to the sword; those for starvation, to starvation; those for captivity, to captivity.' 15:6-9 - You have rejected me," declares the Lord. "You keep on backsliding. So I will lay hands on you and destroy you; I can no longer show compassion. 7 I will winnow them with a winnowing fork at the city gates of the land. I will bring bereavement and destruction on my people, for they have not changed their ways. 8 I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. At midday I will bring a destroyer against the mothers of their young men; suddenly I will bring down on them anguish and terror. 9 The mother of seven will grow faint and breathe her last. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. I will put the survivors to the sword before their enemies," declares the Lord.
15:13-14 - Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder, without charge, because of all your sins throughout your country. 14 I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for my anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you
16:6-7 - Both high and low will die in this land.8 They will not be buried or mourned,9 and no one will cut10 himself or shave11 his head for them. 7 No one will offer food12 to comfort those who mourn13 for the dead--not even for a father or a mother--nor will anyone give them a drink to console14 them.
16:9 - For this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Before your eyes and in your days I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in this place
16:13 - So I will throw you out of this land into a land neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.'
16:16-18 - "But now I will send for many fishermen," declares the Lord, "and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill and from the crevices of the rocks. 17 My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes. 18 I will repay them double for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land with the lifeless forms of their vile images and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols
17:3-4 - My mountain in the land and your wealth and all your treasures I will give away as plunder, together with your high places, because of sin throughout your country. 4 Through your own fault you will lose the inheritance I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for you have kindled my anger, and it will burn forever.
18:15-17 - Yet my people have forgotten me; they burn incense to worthless idols, which made them stumble in their ways and in the ancient paths. They made them walk in bypaths and on roads not built up. 16 Their land will be laid waste, an object of lasting scorn; all who pass by will be appalled and will shake their heads. 17 Like a wind from the east, I will scatter them before their enemies; I will show them my back and not my face in the day of their disaster
18:23 - Do not forgive their crimes or blot out their sins from your sight. Let them be overthrown before you; deal with them in the time of your anger
19:3-4 - 'Hear the word of the Lord, O Barak Obama and people of America. This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Listen! I am going to bring a disaster on this place that will make the ears of everyone who hears of it tingle. 4 For they have forsaken me and made this a place of foreign gods; they have burned sacrifices in it to gods that neither they nor their fathers nor their leaders ever knew, and they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.
19:6-9 - So beware, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when people will no longer call this place Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. 7 " 'In this place I will ruin the plans Washington, D.C.. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies, at the hands of those who seek their lives, and I will give their carcasses as food to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth. 8 I will devastate this city and make it an object of scorn; all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff because of all its wounds. 9 I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another's flesh during the stress of the siege imposed on them by the enemies who seek their lives
19:15 - This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Listen! I am going to bring on this city and the villages around it every disaster I pronounced against them, because they were stiff-necked and would not listen to my words.'
20:4-6 - For this is what the LORD says: 'I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; with your own eyes you will see them fall by the sword of their enemies. I will hand all America over to the king of Babylon, who will carry them away to Babylon or put them to the sword. 5 I will hand over to their enemies all the wealth of this city--all its products, all its valuables and all the treasures of the Presidents. They will take it away as plunder and carry it off to Babylon. 6 And you,Barak Obama, and all who live in your house will go into exile to Babylon. There you will die and be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied lies.'
21:4-7 - 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I am about to turn against you the weapons of war that are in your hands, which you are using to fight the king of Babylon and the Babylonians who are outside the wall besieging you. And I will gather them inside this city. 5 I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and a mighty arm in anger and fury and great wrath. 6 I will strike down those who live in this city--both men and animals--and they will die of a terrible plague.
21:10 - I have determined to do this city harm and not good, declares the Lord. It will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will destroy it with fire.
21:13-14 - I am against you, you who live above this valley on the rocky plateau, declares the Lord-- you who say, "Who can come against us? Who can enter our refuge?" 14 I will punish you as your deeds deserve, declares the Lord. I will kindle a fire in your forests that will consume everything around you.'
22:26-27 - I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. 27 You will never come back to the land you long to return to.
23:1-2 - Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!" declares the Lord. 2 Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people: "Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done," declares the Lord
23:11-13 - Both prophet and priest are godless; even in my temple I find their wickedness," declares the Lord. 12 "Therefore their path will become slippery; they will be banished to darkness and there they will fall. I will bring disaster on them in the year they are punished," declares the Lord.
23:16-25 - This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. 17 They keep saying to those who despise me, 'The LORD says: You will have peace.' And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say, 'No harm will come to you.' 18 But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see or to hear his word? Who has listened and heard his word? 19 See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked. 20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand it clearly. 21 I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied. 22 But if they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people and would have turned them from their evil ways and from their evil deeds. 23 "Am I only a God nearby," declares the Lord, "and not a God far away? 24 Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?" declares the Lord. "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the Lord
23:30-32 - Therefore," declares the Lord, "I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me. 31 Yes," declares the Lord, "I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, 'The LORD declares.' 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams," declares the Lord. "They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least," declares the Lord
25:34-38 - Weep and wail, you shepherds; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For your time to be slaughtered has come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery. 35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee, the leaders of the flock no place to escape. 36 Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture. 37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste because of the fierce anger of the Lord. 38 Like a lion he will leave his lair, and their land will become desolate because of the sword of the oppressor and because of the LORD's fierce anger
From Amos
3:6-8 - When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?(Think of The Twin Towers, Hurricane Katrina, Haiti) 7 Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. 8 The lion has roared-- who will not fear? The Sovereign LORD has spoken-- who can but prophesy
7:17 - Therefore this is what the LORD says: " 'Your wife will become a prostitute in the city, and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword. Your land will be measured and divided up, and you yourself will die in a pagan country. And America will certainly go into exile, away from their native land
8:3 - In that day," declares the Sovereign Lord, "the songs in the temple will turn to wailing. Many, many bodies--flung everywhere! Silence
8:10-12 - I will turn your religious feasts into mourning and all your singing into weeping. I will make all of you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make that time like mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day. 11 "The days are coming," declares the Sovereign Lord, "when I will send a famine through the land-- not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. 12 Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it. 9:10 - All the sinners among my people will die by the sword, all those who say, 'Disaster will not overtake or meet us.'
From Obadiah
2-4 - "See, I will make you small among the nations; you will be utterly despised. 3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, 'Who can bring me down to the ground?' 4 Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down," declares the Lord.
6-7 - But how the United States will be ransacked, her hidden treasures pillaged! 7 All your allies will force you to the border; your friends will deceive and overpower you; those who eat your bread will set a trap for you, but you will not detect it.

A Double Warning
We all remember how God virtually destroyed New Orleans by sending hurricane Katrina in 2005. Now He sent an eartquake that has devastated Haiti. What do these two catastrophies have in common? Both New Orleans and Haiti are predominately Catholic and both are heavily into voodoo and black magic. The Catholic Church turns a blind eye to the evil of voodoo and black magic, they just wink their eyes at it and act like it is ok. It is never preached against.
The Catholic Church sanctions Mardi Gras, which is millions of people out on the streets of New Orleans waving their hands at the floats in the parades, floats which are named after Greek gods and godesses. It is a pagan festival which the Catholic Church supports and encourages. I am originally from New Orleans, as well as being a former Catholic who was taught by the nuns and the Jesuit priests, so I know what I'm talking about.
As I said in my last prophetic message, the earthquake in Haiti is a dire warning to the people in this country about the catastrophies which are coming upon this country. As I said in "The Destruction of the USA", Katrina was a severe warning about the deviant sexual and spiritual practices in this country. How much more explicit can God be before we listen to Him? Don't these two calamities register as warnings from the Lord? How many churches do you think will preach about these two events as being omens from Heaven? How many so-called "Christians" do you think will listen and heed God's threats?
To the Catholic Church: How long before you open your eyes and see what a pit of evil you have become? What else can the Lord do to warn you about the calamities that are about to befall you because of your deviant spiritual practices? Do you truly believe that God turns His eyes from the wicked things that you just wink at? Do you think that He is not concerned that you teach your sheep to worship everyone but Him - Mary, the "saints", plastic idols, the monstrance, the host that you teach is miraculously turned into the body and blood of Jesus Christ?
Just as New Orleans and Haiti saw horrible catastrophies befall them, so also shall you, the Catholic Church, see destruction come upon you suddenly and without warning. Just as the diocese's palace in Haiti was destroyed, so also shall the Vatican be destroyed if you do not turn from your wicked and evil ways. He who has ears to hear, let him listen.
