The Warning Shot
"We all know how Americans LOVE their sports. Their idols are sports "heros" who perform their "miracles" in stadiums (football, baseball, soccer, basketball, etc). Much of the time when men get together they talk about sports and how their "heros" are doing. These "heros" have become their idols, even though so many of them are nothing but scumbags who have no morals, no character, no honor and no integrity. Too many people worship these overpaid spoiled brats and pay literally thousands of dollars each year to go and worship their idols. Every Sunday millions of Americans worship their idols in the stadiums, or on the idiot box. God has had enough of this false idol worship and is about to send a warning to the people of this nation. Most will not listen."
God fired His warning shot recently when one of the biggest names in sports was humilated and forced to leave the game. Tiger Woods was recently named Sportsman of the Decade. He was an idol to millions of Americans. He made hundreds of millions in product endorsements and was a billionaire. In a matter of a few days God destroyed him. His wife and children left him, the companies that paid him millions to advertise their products have rejected him, and Woods has left the game of golf for the foreseeable future.
This man whom so many looked up to as almost a god, has proven to be quite human - a man with no morals and no character, no honor and no integrity, just like the US President.
Woods is the first of many of man's idols who God is going to destroy in the next year or two. I believe that Oprah Winfrey will be brought down in short order. But Tiger Woods was God's warning to those who have made sports stars their idols and gods. "I will have no false gods before Me". Repent and change your ways or great disaster will quickly overtake you.
Jer 2:5 - 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.
Jer 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.

Sports Stadium Destroyed?
Several weeks ago the thought came to me that a sports stadium full of people would be destroyed by a terrorist attack, with great loss of life. The thought has persisted for several weeks now. We all know how Americans LOVE their sports. Their idols are sports "heros" who perform their "miracles" in stadiums (football, baseball, soccer, basketball, etc). Much of the time when men get together they talk about sports and how their "heros" are doing. These "heros" have become their idols, even though so many of them are nothing but scumbags who have no morals, no character, no honor and no integrity. Too many people worship these overpaid spoiled brats and pay literally thousands of dollars each year to go and worship their idols. Every Sunday millions of Americans worship their idols in the stadiums, or on the idiot box. God has had enough of this false idol worship and is about to send a warning to the people of this nation. Most will not listen.
This could well be the catastrophe that David Wilkerson prophesied several months ago that would shock the whole nation, including believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. The loss of life would be huge. The fear that it would send across this nation would surpass that of 9/11/2001. The economic shock to this country would be great.
Let me be very clear about something. I am not condemning enjoying yourselves watching or participating in sports. I love flyfishing and am a rabid LSU Tiger fan and greatly enjoy watching my Tigers play whenever I can. I used to be a big Dallas Cowboys fan until God dealt with me about that in the 1980s, showing me how big an idol that professional sports had become in my life. Now I rarely watch any sports except for my Tigers. Sports had become an idol to me and God let me know that He was to be my only idol, I listened.
Sports have been raised up to the point of idol worship in the USA and God is going to send a very clear and strong warning shot regarding that. I urge you to pray about how important sports have become to you. Have your "heroes" become your idols? Have they taken the place of God in your life? Would not your time be better spent in prayer, reading the Bible and spending quality time with your family? It is something you need to consider.

Solar Storms
"A new study from the National Academy of Sciences outlines grim possibilities on Earth for a worst-case scenario solar storm.
Damage to power grids and other communications systems could be catastrophic, the scientists conclude, with effects leading to a potential loss of governmental control of the situation.
The prediction is based in part on a major solar storm in 1859 that caused telegraph wires to short out in the United States and Europe, igniting widespread fires.
It was perhaps the worst in the past 200 years, according to the new study, and with the advent of modern power grids and satellites, much more is at risk.
"A contemporary repetition of the [1859] event would cause significantly more extensive (and possibly catastrophic) social and economic disruptions," the researchers conclude.
'Command and control might be lost'
When the sun is in the active phase of its 11-year cycle, it can unleash powerful magnetic storms that disable satellites, threaten astronaut safety, and even disrupt communication systems on Earth.
The worst storms can knock out power grids by inducing currents that melt transformers.
Modern power grids are so interconnected that a big space storm — the type expected to occur about once a century — could cause a cascade of failures that would sweep across the United States, cutting power to 130 million people or more in this country alone, the new report concludes.
Such widespread power outages, though expected to be a rare possibility, would affect other vital systems.
'Space Katrina'
"Impacts would be felt on interdependent infrastructures with, for example, potable water distribution affected within several hours; perishable foods and medications lost in 12-24 hours; immediate or eventual loss of heating/air conditioning, sewage disposal, phone service, transportation, fuel resupply and so on," the report states.
Outages could take months to fix, the researchers say. Banks might close, and trade with other countries might halt.
"Emergency services would be strained, and command and control might be lost," write the researchers, led by Daniel Baker, director of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
"Whether it is terrestrial catastrophes or extreme space weather incidents, the results can be devastating to modern societies that depend in a myriad of ways on advanced technological systems," Baker said in a statement released with the report.
Stormy past
Solar storms have had significant effects in modern time:
— In 1989, the sun unleashed a tempest that knocked out power to all of Quebec, Canada.
— A remarkable 2003 rampage included 10 major solar flares over a two-week period, knocking out two Earth-orbiting satellites and crippling an instrument aboard a Mars orbiter.
"Obviously, the sun is Earth's life blood," said Richard Fisher, director of the Heliophysics division at NASA. "To mitigate possible public safety issues, it is vital that we better understand extreme space weather events caused by the sun's activity."
"Space weather can produce solar storm electromagnetic fields that induce extreme currents in wires, disrupting power lines, causing wide-spread blackouts and affecting communication cables that support the Internet," the report states. "Severe space weather also produces solar energetic particles and the dislocation of the Earth's radiation belts, which can damage satellites used for commercial communications, global positioning and weather forecasting."
Rush to prepare
The race is on for better forecasting abilities, as the next peak in solar activity is expected to come around 2012.
While the sun is in a lull now, activity can flare up at any moment, and severe space weather — how severe, nobody knows — will ramp up a year or two before the peak.
Some scientists expect the next peak to bring more severe events than other recent peaks.
"A catastrophic failure of commercial and government infrastructure in space and on the ground can be mitigated through raising public awareness, improving vulnerable infrastructure and developing advanced forecasting capabilities," the report states. "Without preventive actions or plans, the trend of increased dependency on modern space-weather sensitive assets could make society more vulnerable in the future."
The report was commissioned and funded by NASA. Experts from around the world in industry, government and academia participated. It was released this week."

To the Naysayers
I've posted these prophetic messages on several forums and I have been amazed at the arrogant and argumentative so-called "Christians" that attack me on these forums. I don't respond to them anymore than I respond to those who attack me or disagree with me on this blog. The messages I put on here are prophetic words from the Lord, if you don't like them then argue with Him about them because I won't respond to you or argue with you -He won't either.
Those who receive these prophetic words will be prepared when God's judgment is being poured out upon this country. Those who don't listen will be in great fear and turmoil, seeking a word from the Lord, but He will be silent because you refused to believe His prophets. The best advice I can give anyone is to turn off your idiot boxes, quit trying to do all the busy things you think you need to do to be important and begin reading your bibles, and fast and pray like you never have before. This is a time to get before the Lord every minute you can and ask Him what His plans for you, individually, are during the coming tribulation in the USA. Don't look to others for direction, look to the Lord. Turn off that trash on the religious television channels and seek the Lord while He may be found. The time is coming very, very, very soon when He won't be found for far too many who think they are "saved".

The Eye of the Storm
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.
I can't tell you how dire this warning is! It is from the Lord. When I woke up this morning I had no idea that I would be writing this today. But I read something in this morning's Dallas Morning News Business section where the reporter asked the question "Are we in the eye of the storm?" Then the Lord put this message upon my heart.
What should you do? I don't give blanket advice except to tell you to spend more time in prayer and fasting, asking the Lord what He wants you specifically to do. His direction will be different for different people. I do believe that many families and friends will be living together to try to conserve money and resources. I do believe that it is time to begin planting your own vegetable gardens. I do believe that it is time you learned to ride bikes again. I KNOW that it is time to get your prayer life in order and make it the most important part of every day. Turn off that idiot box and pray and read the Bible. Seek the Lord while He may be found. The days of darkness are almost upon us.

Spiritual Babylon - Today's Church
Revelation 18
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. 2With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil[a] spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 3For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."
4Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; 5for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. 6Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup. 7Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.' 8Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
9"When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. 10Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!'
11"The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more— 12cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men.
14"They will say, 'The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.' 15The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn 16and cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! 17In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!'
"Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. 18When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?' 19They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin! 20Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you.' "
21Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: "With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again. 22The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. 23The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world's great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray. 24In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth."
The USA is physical Babylon, the church in the USA is spiritual Babylon and she is about to be dealt with accordingly.
"She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil[a] spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 3For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."
The churches have literally become a haunt for every type of evil spirit imaginable. A church I attended in Dallas for a year had a coven of witches and warlocks who were very, very close to the leadership and who, literally, controlled the spirit of the church. In most churches the people have brought in all types of evil spirits with them and the churches have become so spiritually polluted that it is difficult for most of the sheep to differentiate between holy spirits and evil spirits. There is no discernment in the Body of Christ and the shepherds are blind. Holiness is not preached nor even known about in today's churches.
The "unclean and destestable birds" are the false doctrines and abominable teachings that fill the churches today. The church is the Great Whore of Babylon who has spread her legs to every imaginable doctrine that comes along. She has slept with every wind and wave of doctrine that has arisen out of the depths of hell. She has become pregnant with all these abominations and God is about to destroy her. She has preached every false doctrine you can think of in order to get more members into the churches who will give more money, so that they can hire more staff, have more programs and build bigger churches - all to the glory of the pastors. Then they say "See what a great church we have!! See how great we are!! Come join us and give us your tithes so that we can become even greater!"
The nations have drunk her false doctrines, her wine that makes them feel good. The kings of the earth (the pastors) have committed adultery with her in teaching her lies in order to make the people feel important and powerful so that they will give even more money to the church. The merchants of the earth have become rich by all the books that the churches have bought from them and sell at the church, all the CDs, all the t-shirts, all the signs, all the bumper stickers. The merchants have become rich from everything that has been needed to build bigger churches and develop greater programs. The churches have become like the money changers in the temple.
4Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; 5for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes
God is calling His holy remnant, His bride, out of the churches today and cleaning them up from the filth that is in the churches. He is preparing His holy remnant for the hard times that are about to come upon the USA. He is giving them the faith necessary to make it through those times. He is purifying His bride and making her ready for Jesus' imminent return. He is pulling his holy remnant out of the whore so that they will not share in what God is about to do to the so-called Body of Christ.
Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup. 7Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.'
The churches are about to be judged very, very severely. They are about to be destroyed. The evil that God is about to unleash upon them will make even the holy remnant quake from afar with fear. Demons will be released in untold numbers in these churches. Church members will be absolutely terrified by what they see happening. Remember the "Exorcist"? What God is about to unleash upon the churches will make that movie look like child's play. It will be a time of incredible terror! They will learn that they are not queens who sit high in the heavens, and they will mourn night and day. There will much weeping and gnashing of teeth and fear like man has never known.
8Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
9"When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. 10Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!'
11"The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more— 12cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men.
14"They will say, 'The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.' 15The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn 16and cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! 17In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!'
"Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. 18When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?' 19They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin."
This is self-explanatory and needs no further words regarding it.
20Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you.' "
21Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: "With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again. 22The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. 23The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world's great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.
Yes, we will rejoice over her destruction because we know the lies she has told, the people she has led astray and the abominations she has committed. There will be great joy in Heaven and among the saints here on earth when the whore is thrown down and burned up. No music will ever be heard in her walls again. Never again will workman build these "great monuments to God". Never again will light ever shine in her again. Never again will God inhabit her buildings. In fact, He has already left most of them. They are like empty tombs.
"In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth"
God has sent prophets to her for years, but she has persecuted them, kicked them out and tried to destroy them. I speak from many years of personal, first-hand experiences when I say that. The wounds that the churches have inflicted upon me and other prophets like me have been grevious. God is about to vindicate His prophets. The great whore is about to be destroyed!
Revelation 3:14-18
14"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. 15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked
Substitute "the church in the USA" for "the church in Laodecia.

A Voice Crying Out In The Wilderness
I feel like a voice crying out in the wilderness, because that is where the Lord has had me for 26 years. Yes, I am crying out that there is great destruction coming upon this country, warning people what the Lord is about to do to the USA because of its wickedness. But it is also a call to "Prepare ye the way of the Lord"! Prepare yourselves for the coming of the Lord! Prepare yourselves by repentance, forgiveness, prayer and fasting. Prepare yourselves by not rejecting how God has been training you for the times ahead. Realize that it is He who has been testing and trying you in the fires of affliction in order to make you pure and holy for when the Bridegroom comes for His bride. To make gold pure, you put in in the furnace under extreme temperatures - that is what He has been doing to many of you. To make a diamond, you get a lump of coal and put it under immense pressure for many years - He has been doing that to many of you.
He has pulled many of you out of the godless and unholy churches and put you in the wilderness for many purposes. One is so that you can see what actually goes on in the churches by looking at them from the outside. He has pulled you away from them so that you won't be pulled into their false doctrines and theologies. He is teaching you by His Spirit. He is preparing you to minister to those who will have lost faith in their churches, pastors and their own personal faith during the time of judgment which is about to befall our country. He is preparing you to teach them what the truth actually is, not what the foolish "great teachers and prophets" of today have been telling them. He is preparing you to comfort, encourage and build them up, because they will be in great turmoil, in great distress and great doubt when God's judgment is poured out upon this country in the next few years. He has been preparing you to bring in the harvest during that time.
You are His holy remnant. Some of you will be protected and provided for during the coming years. Others of you will be called upon to suffer great persecution, even to death, for your faith. "He that endures to the end will be saved." Many of you already know what great persecution is, I certainly do. Before it is all over we will know even greater persecution than we do now. That is something that God has promised us - persecution and suffering. We are told to "Share in the fellowship of His sufferings" - many of us very intimately know what that is all about.
I call upon you to turn off your televisions and turn on your prayer life and Bible-reading time. Husbands, read the Bible to your wives and children every day without fail. Wash them with the Word. The time for cleansing is at hand. Prepare yourselves and your families for the coming of the Lord, for He is coming back very, very soon! But He will come like a thief in the night, and you must be ready!

By Clifford T. Hilbert
April 9, 2009
Are these the last days? Well, yes and no. These are the last days of this age, whatever God means by “this age”. Man has his ideas of what that means, but mans’ ideas are not God’s idea. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and My ways are not your ways.” What I do know is that we are in the last few years before Jesus comes back to establish His kingdom here on earth for 1000 years. I know that God’s judgment is about to be poured out upon our nation and that the USA will no longer be a factor in this world.
What will happen to Israel when we are no longer there to support and defend it? All we need to do is look in Revelation and see what the rest of the nations will do to Israel then – they will overrun her. Shortly thereafter the end comes. The bible says that the world will be on the verge of destroying itself when Jesus returns. That event is coming in my lifetime - I am now 63 years old and I expect to be here when Jesus returns.
I expect to be here during the Tribulation period. There will be no rapture as the churches have been teaching for years. The sheep have been lied to and misled. When the sheep find out that they have been deceived and that they are suddenly going through the Great Tribulation, the faith of many will be cast aside – part of the great Apostasy of the Faith. Only he that endures to the end will be saved.
What will it be like when Jesus appears in the clouds? It will be instantly evident to all what their sins have been. Those who have had abortions will realize that they have murdered their own children. Homosexuals and lesbians will instantly see their sins as the abominations they are. They will see how filthy they are. The proud and arrogant will immediately he humbled. The thieves will be ashamed. The rapists will hate themselves. The child molesters will want to die. Politicians will be humiliated. Televangelists will try to hide from God. Most pastors will see themselves as the frauds they are. Women will be ashamed of exposing so much of their flesh in public. Those who “confessed Jesus as their Savior” when they were ten years old but whose hearts are still lukewarm or cold, who are self-centered, proud and arrogant, will find out that they are not “saved” as they thought they were. Sin will be exposed for what it is. There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth. Jesus will then rule with a “rod of iron” – the severest, most rigorous rule. Slavery will be considered bliss compared to what the rebellious, disobedient, proud and arrogant will have to go through.
How will Jesus establish His kingdom here on earth?
The answer is in Matt 12:29 – “Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? And then he will spoil his house.”
The Earth is Satan’s house, he is the prince of this world. When Jesus returns, Satan will be bound for 1000 years. Once the strong man is bound, then his house will be plundered. Once the evil one is tied up and cast into the pit, then, little by little, all his strongholds will be plundered – all sickness, all disease, all pollution, all depravity, all decadence, all perversion, all pride, all abortions, all welfare, all “entitlements” etc. He that does not work will not eat. Obesity will not be allowed in the next age. There will be no women with 15 illegitimate children on government welfare. “He that dies before the age of 100 will be considered accursed.” Hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis will be done away with. No longer will the airwaves be filled with the kind of filth that is now on TV. No longer will movie houses be filled with the vulgar trash that now passes for entertainment. If there are movies allowed in those days, they will be clean, wholesome, free of vulgarity, sex, violence and perversion. If television is allowed it will return to the clean goodness of the old Walt Disney-style programs, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Dinah Shore, etc. No longer will people worship their multi-million dollar sports idols on Sunday, or on any other day, for that matter, because there will be no more sports idols. No longer will Satan’s servants like Oprah Winfrey Jerry Springer, Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopie Goldberg, etc be allowed to air their wicked and perverted filth. There will never again be televangelists as there are today – fleecing the flock, performing “miracles” to glorify themselves, lying to, and deceiving the sheep, teaching the doctrine of man. There will be no more Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. There will definitely never again be a Halloween. Christmas will be 100% different than it is today. There will be no worshipping “Baby Jesus”, because Jesus is not a baby, but a grown man, an adult.
Through whom will Jesus accomplish all this? Romans 8:19 – “The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.” For years God has been preparing some for the responsibilities of plundering the evil one’s house and restoring and rehabilitating the hearts of man and this earth. He has chosen them and prepared them to rule and reign with Christ Jesus during the 1000 period.
Heb 12:6 – For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and He scourges every son He receives”. The sons of god have not just been disciplined like the children of God, they have been scourged. They have lash marks all over their bodies, even though they have done nothing to cause these beatings. God has wounded them in the most terrible ways – Job 5:18 - For it is God who wounds and God who heals. They have learned obedience by that which they have suffered, just like Jesus. They have been beaten every day by their God for years and years. They know suffering like none others do. They know bitter disappointment day after day after day. They know what rejection is like as a way of life. They have been hated, rejected, mistreated, abused, criticized, scorned, ridiculed and treated with contempt by the world and the so-called “Body of Christ”. They know what failure is - no matter how hard they worked to accomplish something, they saw God tear it all down before their very eyes. They know what it’s like to get knocked down and get up, only to get knocked down again, then get up, then knocked down again, then get up, endlessly. They know the hard side of God. They know how the prophets of old felt.
They understand what Jeremiah felt like in Lamentations 3 - “I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 2 He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light; 3 indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long. 4 He has made my skin and my flesh grow old and has broken my bones. 5 He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship. 6 He has made me dwell in darkness like those long dead. 7 He has walled me in so I cannot escape; he has weighed me down with chains. 8 Even when I call out or cry for help, he shuts out my prayer. 9 He has barred my way with blocks of stone; he has made my paths crooked. 10 Like a bear lying in wait, like a lion in hiding, 11 he dragged me from the path and mangled me and left me without help. 12 He drew his bow and made me the target for his arrows. 13 He pierced my heart with arrows from his quiver. 14 I became the laughingstock of all my people; they mock me in song all day long. 15 He has filled me with bitter herbs and sated me with gall. 16 He has broken my teeth with gravel; he has trampled me in the dust. 17 I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is. 18 So I say, "My splendor is gone and all that I had hoped from the LORD." 19 I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. 20 I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.” – Jeremiah was referring to what his Father God had done to him, and Jeremiah was speaking the truth. It is almost impossible for spiritual children to comprehend this.
The ones called to be “the sons of God” understand a part of God that spiritual children will never be able to comprehend. They know that the saying “God is a good God, He doesn’t want you to suffer”, is a fairytale made up by and for children. Remember what God’s first words about Paul were? – “I will show him how much he must suffer for the kingdom of heaven.” They very intimately know Paul’s testimony that he was hungry and thirsty, homeless, in rags, poorly treated, beaten and in chains. Spiritual children cannot understand these things. They followed 2 Tim 2:3-4 – “3Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier” - even though they themselves didn’t fully understand it and the “Christians” scorned them because of it. No one understands nor judges these men – “A spiritual man understands (judges) all things, but is understood (judged) by no one.”
These men, however, are not spiritual giants. They are not great men of God, as the world thinks of great men. They are human beings with all the feelings, frailties, fears and failures of humans. Many of them see God like a football coach who pushes and pushes and pushes his players well beyond what they think are their limits, then he pushes them some more. When they think they are ready to die, he pushes them some more. He never lets up, there is no respite. He never gives them a “well done”. He is never satisfied. He stretches them until they are ready to break, then he lets them sit there for a while, never easing the tension. Then he stretches them again until they are ready to break, then he lets them sit awhile, still never easing the tension. He does this endlessly. The players curse their coach, they hate him, they despise him and wish he were dead. They see nothing but pain, pain and more pain in their futures. No matter how good they get, it is never enough to please the coach. Every hope is met with bitter, bitter disappointment. Every relationship causes nothing but pain and disappointment.
The apostle Paul understood this as well because the burdens became so great he despaired of life, he wanted to die, he wanted to kill himself. 2 Cor 1:8 - 8We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life”. But they do have hope that there is a purpose in all of this, that they will one day be blessed with peace and love. They hope that God will not be so cruel forever. They hope that one day he will stabilize their lives, vindicate and restore them.
These are the ones to be called ”the sons of God. ”They are not looking for disciples, they are not looking for glory, they are not looking for honor, they are not looking to accomplish great things for God, they are not looking for man’s approval. They are doing the only thing that God allows them to do – obey Him. They know what Paul meant when he stated that he was a bondslave of Christ Jesus. They understand that they have no free will of their own anymore, that they are truly slaves. God took their free will from them many years ago. They understand that there is only one choice, to obey God regardless of the costs. Children don’t know nor understand these things, only the ones God has raised into sonship. He does not give the riches and inheritance of His kingdom to children, but only to those whom He has raised into sonship - those whom He has matured through great and horrible suffering. Those are the ones who will be appointed to handle the great responsibilities He has for them in the future.
They are the ones who will rule and reign with Christ during His 1000 year reign on earth. They are the ones He will anoint with power like the first century church saw – the type of power that we have yearned to see for 2000 years, but have only seen small glimpses of it. They are the ones who will do even greater things than Jesus did. I don’t know how we could do anything greater than casting out demons, healing the sick and raising the dead, but we will.
They have seen the charlatans in the “Body of Christ”. . They have heard all the “faith” foolishness for years, They have tried all the “If you’ll just ________ (fill in the blanks) then God will bless you” doctrines that have been spewed about for years, and found out that they are man’s doctrines, not God’s. They have heard all the “If you just have enough faith, then God will______” nonsense that has been preached for years, and know what a bunch of foolishness that it truly is. They understand that we don’t have any understanding of what faith really is, yet. But during the 1000 year reign, we will know what God means by the term “faith”, and it will be nothing like what’s is being taught today. They know that what is thought of as “faith” today is nothing but the foolishness of man.
During the Millennium they will exercise true faith and see what the power of the Lord actually is. They will cast out demons, sickness and disease, heal the sick, raise the dead, say to mountains “be moved”, and they will move. They will have insight into peoples’ hearts like we would never have believed possible. Some of them will have the authority, as Jeremiah did, to be “over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to tear down, to overthrow and destroy, to build and to plant”. They will have spiritual insight, authority and knowledge like we can’t even begin to fathom. They will have dominion over all natural and spiritual forces.
They will set up the churches in God’s order, not mans’. “I have set them first as apostles, second prophets, then teachers, pastors and evangelists.” The churches will be built “upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets” – they will not be built upon pastors as they are today. Pastors will not be the figureheads, kings and little gods that many think they are today. The churches will be set up as God intended them to be set up, and will operate the way He wants them to operate. Today they are run like man thinks they should be run. During the coming times they function according to God’s plan. There will be no denominational divisions any longer. There will no longer be a Catholic Church, a Baptist church, a Methodist Church, an Assembly of God Church, a Pentecostal Church, an Episcopalian Church, a Presbyterian Church or any other denomination. There will only be one church – God’s, man’s ideas of what churches should be like will be done away with. His church shall be called “A House of Prayer”.
The Millennial period will be a time when God gives men the knowledge of how to use the forces that He has created so that we will be able to manufacture without pollution, create automobiles that use the inexhaustible electromagnetic forces and solar power that surround us, instead of gas and oil. We will learn how to harness these magnetic forces and solar power to run our homes and offices, our manufacturing plants, our food processing operations. We will learn how to clean up the pollution in our environment and keep our planet and atmosphere clean. We will learn how to recycle everything so that nothing goes to waste. Researchers will find drugs that will cure all diseases. They will find cures for most of our physical ailments. Airplanes will no longer exist in the form they do today, our transportation will be radically different. God will show us how to raise food without all the chemicals and pesticides we use today. Rain will come in its season. The world will be the same, yet very, very different.
Those whose hearts were pierced by Christ’s coming will be forced into slave labor and tasked with things such as cleaning up the mess that the wars had left – the bodies, the destroyed buildings and homes, the environment, etc. They will physically clean up the mess they made of this world. They will be dealt with harshly and severely. There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth. The nations will learn that they must obey God in order to get His blessings. Disobedience will quickly result in failed crops, hunger, turmoil, violence and total lack of peace. They will learn obedience the hard way – by a rod of iron, but they will learn. The leaders of those nations who don’t obey will be “plucked up and torn down, overthrown and destroyed, as will the nations which rebel against the Lord.
But we will know that after 1000 years Satan will be set free for a time and will deceive the nations once more and will destroy much of what has been perfected during the time he was bound. Many of the people will once again be deceived and turn against God. Then the end will come.

The Destruction of the USA
My name is Clifford Hilbert and God appointed me a watchman. He even chose my name for me before I was born. I am a watchman who stands on the edge of the cliff watching the fording place in the river, so that when I see the enemy coming I can warn the people. Standing there watching requires long periods of forced isolation, idleness, unbelievable boredom and great patience - the exact opposite of who and what I am. But that is what God chose for me and all I can do is obey. I have been watching for many years and now see the enemy coming. It is time to blow the trumpet in Zion and sound the alarm.
For years biblical scholars have been trying to figure out where the USA, the most powerful nation that has ever existed, fits into the endtime scenarios. No one has yet come up with the correct answer. Why? Because the USA will not be a factor in the last days. It will not exist in the form it does today. God is on the verge of destroying this nation.
Why? Because we have been filled with pride thinking that we created this great nation and that we are the ones responsible for the great abundance we have here. We, as a nation, have failed to realize that it is God who created this nation and God who has blessed us with such abundance, that it is He who has prospered us.
We, as a nation, have turned completely away from the Lord and gone our own prideful, arrogant, sinful and decadent ways. Materialism has become our god. Money has become our god. Our own fleshly desires have become our god. Our powerful weapons have become our source of faith, instead of God. “In God we trust”, the symbol which is on our currency, is a lie.
For Christians, their big new church buildings have become their gods. Their “rights in Jesus” have become their gods. Their “faith” has become their god. The Pentecostals and charasmatics are proud of what they think are their spiritual gifts, and they use these gifts with pride and arrogance against their other brothers and sisters in Christ. They fall for every wind and wave of doctrine that comes along, and have no firm foundation to stand on. They believe that they are the ones who cause prosperity and health by their words. They have taken God out of the equation and consider themselves as gods who make everything happen by themselves. They have forgotten that the greatest gift of all is love, something they have very, very little of.
The Baptists are proud that they are “once saved, always saved” — even though Paul “worked out his salvation with fear and trembling”, and the Lord told the church at Laodecia (a church, people who thought that they were all saved) “I wish that you were hot or cold. But because you are neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!”
The Bible churches are proud that they alone know the real truth. Their pastors are all cemetery-trained and they know the Bible inside and out. They have dissected all the words and passages and can tell you the Greek and Hebrew meanings of everything in the Bible. They have discussed ten million times whether Jesus was fully human and/or fully divine. They know all the stories in the Bible, but they know nothing of the Living Word of God. There is no anointing in their sermons and the Word they teach is not “active and alive, and sharper than any two-edged sword” - it is dead , as are their hearts.
The Catholics are proud that their religion is the “only true religion”. They worship more false gods than the Greeks did — Mary and all the other dead people, the “saints”. They have made Mary part of the Godhead believing they need her to intercede for us with Jesus. The Trinity is now Father, Son and Blessed Mother. They believe that Mary has appeared all over the world and they worship the spots where there has been an apparition, even images on pieces of toast. I believe that there have been appearances at those spots - but no one has ever explained to them that Satan comes as an angel of light (a beautiful woman masquerading as the “Mother of God”) who performs great and mighty miracles that would deceive even the very elect, if that were possible. Satan has gotten what he wanted, the Catholics worship him instead of Jesus. His servants also come as angels of light, and masquerade as servants of righteousness. The priests are blind and consider themselves as little gods – unfortunately, too many of these “little gods” are child molesters. The Catholic Church conveniently shoves aside the Biblical requirement that priests must be from the tribe of Levi.
Methodists and Episcopalians are ordaining homosexual and lesbian ministers and priests. They are teaching that these abominable lifestyles are acceptable.
The churches worship their pastors as if they were gods and kings, and the pastors are filled with arrogance and pride. They want to build bigger churches so that they can have larger congregations that will inflate their egos even more. The shepherds have no idea what the word “shepherd” really means. They lift themselves up as great authorities, yet they have never learned that they are servants of the people. I have not yet met a pastor of any denomination who went out and sought a sheep that left his flock.
The pastors teach their flocks that “God is a good God, He doesn’t want you to suffer”, in direct contradiction to what the Bible says. The New Testament talks about suffering a lot more than it mentions blessings and prosperity. But that’s not “positive confession”, so they throw that aside. They teach them that “God’s promises are all for you. He wants to give you the desires of your heart. He wants you to prosper and be in good health. If you just have enough faith, you can claim your rights in Jesus and have everything you have ever desired.” No one teaches that Paul’s testimony was that he was hungry, thirsty, homeless, in rags, poorly treated, beaten and in chains. No one teaches what Jesus instructed them to do “Sell what you have, give to the poor and come, follow Me.” “He that does not give up everything he has, cannot be my disciple.” “Share in the fellowship of His sufferings” Claim those as your “rights in Jesus”!!!
No one teaches about the Beatitudes that Jesus spoke of in the sermon on the mount — “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
No one teaches the whole truth, just the parts of it that “tickle men’s ears”, just the “feel good” gospel of the carnal.
The religious TV networks (I refuse to call them “Christian”) are filled with thieves, liars, charlatans and false prophets who are out to build great masses of worshippers for themselves. They steal from the widows, the poor, the hurting, the wounded, the hopeless and the desperate. They are nothing but a bunch of antichrists. And people look to them as gods who can do no wrong. There is no discernment in the Body of Christ today! The so-called “Body of Christ” in this country is corrupt beyond measure.
These are only a few of the many reasons that God is coming to destroy this nation and severely test the faith of most. Most “Christians” will fail the test and their names will not be written in the Book of Life. A great apostasy of the faith is about to happen in this country. Many will be imprisoned, tortured, sawn in two and put to death because of their faith — only he that endures to the end will be saved. Most who read this will not be saved.
The USA itself is worse than Sodom and Gomorrah, in every way. Not only do we kill millions of innocent, unborn children in this country every year, but now that Obama is President, we will be paying for the murders of millions of unborn babies in other countries. Obama wants to pass legislation that will force all hospitals, including Catholic hospitals, to perform abortions on demand, regardless of the term of pregnancy or the age of the female. Homosexual marriage is something that the Obama administration wants legalized. The abortionists and the homosexuals “parade their sins in the streets”, and people are there to cheer them on, the nations leaders being among them.
Greed is rampant in all parts of society and in every organization in this nation, especially the churches. Our nation’s capitol, Washington, D.C. is the most corrupt city in America, and our politicians are wicked beyond measure. Arrogance, pride, contempt, crime and greed are hallmarks of our nation’s capitol. We are proud of all the great buildings that form our cities, all the money that is made in them, and all the materialism that exists in them. Drugs have invaded every part of our society. Morals no longer exist in the USA. Good is now called evil, and evil is now called good.
When this country elected Barak Hussein Obama as President, God said “ENOUGH!!”
“You wanted leaders after your own hearts, so I’ve given them to you. I’ve given you the most corrupt, arrogant and deceitful President and administration in the history of your country. They will lead your country into the worst decadence and depravity it has ever known.
“My people have been waiting for signs and wonders for years and years, waiting for me to do great and mighty things. I already have, but no one was paying any attention. My ways are not your ways and My thoughts are not your thoughts. As far as the sun is from the moon are My thoughts higher than your thoughts and My ways higher than your ways. I sent the Great Depression to warn you that you were becoming too focused on wealth and greed. Few listened. I sent the planes into the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001 to warn you that your pride, arrogance and lust for power and money had gone too far. Few listened. I sent Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to warn you about your sexual and spiritual decadence and depravity that has become an abomination reaching to the heavens. Few listened.
So now I will destroy your proud, arrogant, greedy, depraved and decadent nation and churches. You would not humble yourselves before me and turn from your wicked and evil ways. So now, I the Lord your God will force you to your knees, literally. My judgment upon you is coming much quicker than any ever expected. It will be total and complete. Never again will you stand proud and tall as a nation. Never again will you exalt yourselves above Me”.
First will come the economic collapse of this nation, because money has become what you worship, not the Lord. Another watchman, John Johnston (http://www.unitedstatesprophecy.com/) saw that when Fidel Castro dies, then will come the complete and total collapse of our economy. Why God set it up that way, I have no idea. I just know that He did and that John is correct. You are seeing just the beginning of that in the last few months of 2008 and the first few months of 2009. That is just the very beginning. It will get much, much worse — the complete and total economic collapse of this nation. The worst is yet to come.
Back in 1986 I was driving through the Dakotas and pulled up to see Mt. Rushmore. As I pulled the car into the parking lot I suddenly saw Mt. Rushmore come tumbling down. Until March 3, 2009, I didn’t know what this meant. Now I do. Spiritually, this means that God will not let those men who built this country upon Godly morals and principles see His destruction of the nation they so dearly loved. Physically, it is His warning to flee the cities and not look back. Pray that you are not with child then, because the worst is still to come.
Immediately following the fall of Mt. Rushmore there will be major solar storms (expected by astronomers in 2011-2012) that will cause catastrophic electrical, electronic and communication failures in many areas of the USA and the world. This happened in Quebec some years ago and all power was lost for days, even weeks. All power will be lost in many major cities, including New York City. Complete power grids will shut down, affecting large areas of the country. When this happens gangs will run rampant all over the cities that are affected. They will loot, rape, rob, steal and kill like never before. There will be fires all over which will not be possible to put out because there will be no power to run the water pumping stations, and the looters will shoot the fireman who try to put the fires out. The crime wave in New Orleans after Katrina was nothing compared to what is about to happen. It will be complete civil chaos that the police and National Guard will not be able to stop. People will be leaving these cities by the hundreds of thousands to escape the violence. The USA will be paralyzed. The worst is still to come.
On that same trip in 1986 I was driving through Granite Falls, MN and stopped to eat dinner and spend the night at the home of some friends’ parents. After dinner I was talking a walk in the neighborhood (which was out in the country) and glanced upon some huge grain silos. All of a sudden I saw these silos explode! I knew that the Lord was telling me that our vast supply of food in this country would suddenly disappear. Since then I have learned that the temperatures in these silos are closely monitored to prevent static electrical buildup, among other things. With no electricity, these silos will explode. With no electricity, our refrigerated foods will go bad. With no electricity, our food processing plants will not function. Will no electricity, our processed seafood and meats will quickly spoil. With no electricity, our water purification plants will not be able to operate. Without electricity, most people will not be able to cook. The solar storms will cause the electricity in many areas of our country to be off for weeks and even months. Our food supply will suddenly be gone. There will be great famine all over the country. The worst is yet to come.
Back in 1984 I was listening to a Christian radio station when a guy began to prophecy. I remember him saying “.. and though the President seems to be a good man, he will bow his knees in surrender to the Russians”.
While the country is in complete and utter chaos like we’ve never known before, the Russians will then unleash a nuclear attack upon us from submarines off our coasts. Impact will come only seven minutes from launch. This will destroy a number of major cities. See John Johnston’s: “www.unitedstatesprophecy.com/russia_invades_america.html” for more specifics. God will judge us for the pride we take in these great monuments (i.e. skyscrapers) that our hands have built, and the materialism we worship. The President will not retaliate, but will bow his knees in surrender to the Russians. They will come and enslave our people and rape the resources and the women of this country. This is how quickly this will be upon us. The worst is yet to come.
Back in 1983 there was a prophet in Dallas who had a vision of all three seaboards of this country being hit by tidal waves of 200-300'. In 1984 I was visiting a friend who lived on a small river near Baton Rouge, La. We were outside sitting on chairs on the lawn when suddenly I saw this huge 30-60' wall of dirty water come rushing over the property. This was over 100 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico!
John Johnston has also seen a huge tidal wave hitting the East Coast and knocking down the tall buildings like dominos. “I went into a deep sleep and had a dream I was on the boardwalk in Virginia Beach. It was night time and I think it was about 2:00 am. I put my foot up on the railing and was looking out over the ocean. There was what looked like a full moon on the horizon. I noticed just underneath the moon was a giant black wall on the horizon. The moon was reflecting white caps off the wall. As I stood there looking out into the Atlantic Ocean I realized that the white caps are from a massive tidal wave heading to shore. It was about 300 feet high. I felt the realization that it was too late to warn the people and the dream ended.
“In the fall of the following year, 2006 I had the same dream again.
“In January 2008, I had the same dream except this time I started running to people’s houses to wake them up and warn them, but it was too late.”
Revelation 18: 21 “Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.” On March 2, 2009 an asteroid passed within 40,000 miles of Earth. That may seem like a lot, but it is within the moon’s orbit of earth and just twice the distance from Earth as some of our communications satellites. What will happen when an asteroid hits our planet? Remember the Star called Wormwood which the angel threw into the sea? That could cause tidal waves like the ones which will hit our coastlines. It would also be hot enough to make the seas turn red like blood.
The destruction from these tidal waves will be beyond human description. The death toll will be in the tens of millions. Why? To destroy the vile, abominable and detestable sexual and spiritual practices which flood this country. Several months after Katrina there was a Decadence Day parade held in New Orleans, an annual event. Mardi Gras, which is approved of by the Catholic Church, is nothing but a huge pagan festival. All the different parades are named after different Greek gods and goddesses — Bacchus, Endymion, Venus, Proteus, etc. The floats move down the streets and the people are all raising their hands, waving them, shouting “Throw me something mister!”, to the maskers on the floats. Spiritually they are worshipping the gods of the floats. The next day they go to mass and get the ashes on their heads to start the beginning of Lent. They party like the heathens they are, then go for “absolution and forgiveness” the next day. I am a former Catholic, originally from New Orleans, so I speak from personal, first-hand experience.
God has had enough!!
In 1985 while on my way to Phoenix, I spent the night with an older couple in Benson, AZ. I remember Enoch telling me that the Lord had told his church in Benson that there were members of that church then, in 1985, who would be martyred in front of the church for their faith. The Sunday after 9/11/2001 I went to a little church in Lindale, TX for the first time. Before the service, I remember seeing some little children playing in the aisles, just running around having a good time. The Lord told me that these very children would be running for their lives because of their faith, in this country. John Johnston (www.unitedstatesprophecy.com) has seen visions of foreign soldiers destroying churches in this country and executing the congregations in front of those churches.
That is when many will fall away from the Lord, part of the great apostasy of the faith. Many who have been deceived and brainwashed into believing the “faith” foolishness that is being taught by people like Kenneth Copeland, Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn, Robert Tilton, Rod Parsley, Mike Murdock, John Hagee, Joyce Meyer, Marilyn Hickey, Creflo Dollar, T.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, James Robinson, Jimmy Swaggart and the like, will be “confessing the Word”, “claiming their rights in Jesus”, demanding that God honor His Word, but will find out that it doesn’t work like they’ve been taught it should. They will not have wealth, they will not have jobs, they will not have homes, they will not have their health and they will not have much to eat. They will be hungry, thirsty, homeless, in rags, poorly treated, in chains and they will fall away from the faith because they will say “God doesn’t honor His word, therefore He is a liar and I want nothing to with Him”. These sheep have believed the lies that their shepherds taught them. Their blood will be upon the hands of their shepherds. They listened to teachers who “tickled their ears”, because that is what they wanted to hear and believe.
The Bible is God’s word which He uses to accomplish that which He pleases and purposes — not what we please and purpose.
During the coming disasters that God will send upon this country, He will also give some of us hope and peace. He has been setting up places of refuge across this country where Christians will find safe harbor from the catastrophes unleashed upon America. In 1986 I lived in Phoenix for several months and traveled around Arizona some. I was visiting someone in Oracle, AZ and the Lord impressed upon me that this would be a city of refuge in the future. He also showed me that the mountains of Prescott, AZ would be another place of refuge - there are several large Christian camps up there. Lindale, TX (just north of Tyler) will be another city of refuge. I’m certain that there will be other cities of refuge that the Lord has set up.
In these places Christians will live together and provide for one another. We will grow our own food, raise our own livestock. We will not be dependent upon the government for anything, because the government will be trying to find us and kill us, just as John Johnston saw in his vision:
“During the same time as the vision about the state of Florida in July of 1995, God gave me a vision of a massive army coming down on America. He said, “John, I am going to allow the enemies of the United States to judge America. When America’s enemies come they will have no mercy on the men, women and children. I saw troop movement and they appeared to be Communist Chinese and Russian troops coming into the United States. As they came in, America was no match. I saw churches and synagogues were being leveled by heavy artillery. As the churches were being blown up I saw Jews and Christians being herded up and shot like cattle in front of their churches and homes. I saw the troops killing children and infants with their bayonets. I saw the American people tormented beyond imagination. The troops were void of emotions. Their objective is to take the nation and take it hands down. All able bodied working people will be forced into slave labor. Some will be taken to other countries and some left here. The soldier’s main objective was to kill all Jews and Christians. As I am seeing all this horror I asked, “Lord, what is happening?” He said, “Because of the wickedness of the United States of America I am allowing her enemies to invade her lands.” God ended the vision.
"The enemies of America are supernaturally being drawn together. When they come, they are going to catch the nation completely by surprise. Great is going to be her destruction and torment. This judgment is coming soon! The American people, Christians and non-Christians do not believe that God has fiery indignation that will be poured out. The great day of darkness is quickly coming upon the whole world, the day of God’s wrath and judgment.”
These places of refuge will not be fancy, they will not be very comfortable for many. They will not have all the luxuries and conveniences that we are used to. We will not have as much to eat as we are used to. Some places might not have running water and electricity. We will have to learn to do with much less than we are used to. They will not have much in the way of medical facilities. But God will provide the basic necessities of life for us.
Years ago there was a TV miniseries entitled “Amerika”, about a Russian takeover of this country. In there was a scene I remember very, very distinctly. A man was helping another man escape the Russians, and they were going through an underground passageway, when suddenly they came upon this large underground room. In the room were a number of Christians singing and praising the Lord. The escapee asked his friend “How can they be happy when there is so much trouble?” His friend replied “Because we know the Lord is doing this and why, and He is in control.” That peace and joy is what will sustain us during those times which are almost upon us.
The “great mountain thrown into the sea” mentioned in Revelation is Mount Fuji in Japan. It will erupt with such force that much of it will be thrown into the sea. Can you imagine the destruction this will cause? Could the star called Wormwood hit the seas with such an impact that it would cause Mt. Fuji to erupt? I don’t know, but it is something to think about.
How should you prepare for the coming catastrophes which are almost upon us? Pray, pray and pray. Ask the Lord to show you how each one of you individually should begin to prepare. Don’t listen to the fools on the religious channels, because they will have no idea what to do, even though they will claim to. The best thing you can do, next to praying, is to turn off your televisions, turn off all the CDs and tapes you have that were written about the Bible, quit going to all those conferences about the Bible, quit reading all those books about the Bible, take your Bible and begin at Genesis and start reading. Read it during every spare minute you have — if you’ll turn off your televisions you’ll be surprised at all the extra time you have to read the Bible. Read the Bible from beginning to end, over and over and over. Don’t go looking for things in it to confirm what you think you know, just read it. Yes, it will be hard and it will be very boring. But that is the only way to learn what God wants you, specifically, to learn. Turn off the radios in your vehicles and put on CDs of someone reading the Bible. That’s all, just reading it — quit listening to someone teaching you what man wants you to learn, but just listen to the reading of the Word itself and let the Spirit teach you. “For you no longer have need of a teacher, for the Holy Spirit is your teacher.” Quit trying to find someone to feed you the Word, feed yourselves. Babies need to be fed, adults feed themselves. It’s time for you to grow up.
Pray for God to show you what He wants you to do in the next few years in order to last through the trying times ahead. Pray for strength. You will be “tested and tried in the fires of affliction.” Many of you will be martyred during the coming years. Many of you will turn away from the faith and your names will not be found in the Book of Life. “The way to destruction is broad and most enter through it. The gate to eternal life is narrow and few enter it.”
One last thought. What will happen to Israel when it does not have the USA to defend it anymore? We are truly that close to the last days.
Most who read this will reject it and laugh at it. Most will reject me, scorn me, ridicule me and persecute me. I expect that. But the Lord told me many years ago that 95% of what I teach is for 5% of the people. If 5% listen to this message, then I will have done what the Lord sent me to do. This message is not something that I will defend, argue about or even try to convince you that it is of the Lord. That is not my job. My job is to be the messenger. The message is God’s, not mine. Argue with Him about it.
