Here are many dreams, visions, and prophecies which were in previous editions of this book, but I removed them and put them only here online:

Michael Boldea Jr. is an evangelist and chairman of Hand of Help Ministries founded by his late grandfather, Dumitru Duduman, a former pastor from Romania. Michael had a dream in 2010 about three men in a wheat field. One man burned up one-third of the field with fire; another flooded one-third of the field. A third man harvested one-third of the field with great care:

On the third night, the dream began as the previous two nights, with the first man setting fire to one third of the field, the second man flooding one third, and the third man meticulously harvesting the last third, I thought it would be the same dream yet again, until the man with the sickle turned, looked at me and said, “the world will know hunger, the faithful will know the power of their God.” I recognized him; I had seen him in both my dreams and my visions before. . . . I received no further insight or interpretation, but this is what I believe in regards to its meaning:

I believe that a worldwide food shortage is imminent. Whether due to too much sun and not enough rain, or too much rain and unprecedented weather patterns, global agriculture will suffer a severe blow very shortly. I also believe that God has already prepared provision for His children, that He will provide for them, and miraculously so. I do not believe God reveals coming events to His children that they might grow fearful or panic, but rather that they might learn to trust Him . . . (www.handof help.com/vision_58.php)

This shows a reduction in our food supply caused by weather disasters, and the fire could also represent war. We should prepare for food shortages in the very near future. However, since he saw men in the field who caused the damage by flood and fire, this dream could refer to humans intentionally causing the food shortage. As we have so ominously seen, since mid-2020, dozens of food processing plants around the world have mysteriously suffered destruction from fires or explosions. (If you are not aware of this, you need to become better informed. Do not rely upon your evening news on network TV to tell you the truth.)

Michael Boldea Jr. also had a vision of a finger being pushed into a map of the United States. A voice said that God will allow a great event to this country “to try and wake her up” because the churches were asleep. It was not long after the vision when 9-11 took place. Then in 2002 he had another vision, and the Holy Spirit said that next time it will not be a finger but a fist that will bring an event greater than 9-11. Several other people have had visions or dreams of destruction upon an entire American city. This destruction most likely will be from a nuclear bomb, which will be blamed on another nation as a pre-text for martial law, or war.

There were many weather disasters for several years with record winter storms, record heat of 112 degrees; record drought, record fires, month after month. The extreme events just keep coming. The New Jersey Boardwalk that was mostly destroyed by hurricane Sandy in 2012 was rebuilt at a cost of eight million dollars, then destroyed by a fire in 2013. In Sept. 2013, Colorado had a “1000 year flood.” There is rarely a break between the disasters; they are hitting us one after the other. In 2014, some parts of the U.S. saw 40 degrees below zero, which was colder than the North Pole; the ice downed power lines, and over 700,000 people were without electricity for several days.

Those events were just birth pains of natural events; the events that have been taking place from the start of COVID-19 to today (other than earthquakes) are being caused by evil people. It appears that a group of people who want desperately to takeover the world are trying to murder millions of people through many different means. Because of these events, people have been asking, “Are we in the Great Tribulation?” Of course the answer that is always given is, no, we cannot be in the GT because the Rapture has not taken place yet, and the 7-year peace treaty with Israel has not been signed yet. Both of those are proven wrong in this book.

So, I once said the answer to the question is that we are in the birth pains of the Earth, leading up to the Great Tribulation. But I now must say that with the events of 2020, I believe we are in the first years of the GT, shortly before the Trumpet judgments from God start taking place.

The more I learn about what will take place during the GT, the more I understand that the bad events are not all caused by God; but much of the suffering and death will be caused by humans; God will merely allow them.

Since this book was first written there continue to be many frequent disasters. I cannot even keep track of the ones that are hitting the U.S., not to mention those happening around the world. Tornadoes in Japan, flooding in Mexico, typhoons, earthquakes; there is no end to the disasters. And now COVID-19 was the first of new plagues that have, and will continue to hit us.

In February 2011, a 6.3 earthquake hit Christchurch, New Zealand that killed 185 people. The quake badly damaged the historic Christchurch Cathedral. This quake was given spiritual significance by more than one prophet. Cindy deVille of Shekinah Today Ministries reported that she had a vision of shaking pulpits just before the Christchurch earthquake:

While in prayer two weeks ago, I kept seeing a vision of a pulpit that was shaking intensely, as if there was a long and intense earthquake. The pastor behind the pulpit could not stand up, and he started to frantically grasp the pulpit for something solid to hold onto. Everything was crumbling around him, and the only thing that was not shaking, crumbling or changing was the truth of God’s Word. In desperation, the pastor fell to his knees, and seemed to be asking himself: “What do I really believe? What is truth?” This caused him to dig deep on his knees in search for truth he could take hold of and stand upon. We know God’s Word is everlasting truth: “Thy word is truth” (John 17:17); “The Word of our God shall stand forever.” (Is. 40:8).

. . . In light of the vision, we realized this earthquake could have prophetic significance. While I do not believe everything that happens is a prophetic sign, I do believe God uses some things to symbolize what He is doing or will do; we see this throughout holy Scripture. So, I do believe the recent earthquake at Christchurch in New Zealand could be symbolic. (www. charisma mag. com/ blogs/ prophetic-insight/ 12937-the-pulpits-are-shaking)

Cindy deVille says that the shaking that is coming will cause some pastors to even “fall away” while others will dig deeper and turn to prayer.

Two prophecies by Rick Joyner most likely refer to the tsunami of the 2nd Trumpet. His prophecies refer to a huge tsunami wave of the Spirit that will result in great revival to the point that Christians will be meeting in stadiums. He also predicts a Christian spiritual civil war:

What is coming will be dark. At times Christians almost universally will be loath to even call themselves Christians. Believers and unbelievers alike will think that it is the end of Christianity as we know it, and it will be. Through this the very definition of Christianity will be changed, for the better. The church that emerges from what is coming will be full of unprecedented grace, truth, and unprecedented power. . . .

Nearly half of the believers in the world today are held under a spiritual “plantation mentality”; leaders are only seeking to build and maintain their own spiritual estates . . .

A god is not just something you bow down to, but what you trust in. Many of the coming conflicts between movements, denominations and individual churches will be deeply rooted in the power that money now has over the church. Many will use doctrinal differences or other issues as justification for their attacks on their brothers, but the real cause will be over a loss, or potential loss, of money. . . .

This will be a conflict between those who may be genuine Christians, but who live mostly according to their natural minds and human wisdom, and those who follow the Holy Spirit. . . . What will for a time look like a total meltdown of Christianity will ultimately result in one of her greatest victories. . . .

After this great spiritual civil war, there will no longer be a white church and a black church. Neither will many of the present distinguishing characteristics that categorize Christians into groups continue to exist. There will be an entirely new definition of Christianity, which the Lord Jesus Himself has already written. The world will know us by our love. . . .

Those who have built their spiritual lives, or positions of leadership, on obeying an organization rather than always seeking to follow the Lord, are in the most serious jeopardy at this time of becoming stumbling blocks. (MorningStar Prophetic Bulletin #16)

It sounds like a time of testing, does it not? So, it looks to me that when this physical tsunami hits America, it causes many people to question their faith, which will bring the spiritual tsunami. It will result in great conflict within denominations and churches about their view of eschatology, and other important doctrines. Many Christians will leave the established Church because they don’t like the answers they are getting, and will begin living out their faith.

The Catholics will also be rocked by the tsunami; in 2003 J. Lee Grady, then editor of Charisma Magazine, had a dream of a spiritual tsunami that will hit the Catholic Church:

When the wave hit, the palatial building began creaking and tilting. Antique tables, chairs, candelabra and statues began sliding to one side as the floor moved. Chandeliers were hanging at odd angles. Within minutes the floor was perpendicular to the ground and more furniture came crashing down. The movement continued until the floor became the ceiling. More religious icons, statues and paintings fell and broke into pieces….

[He saw Catholics with] their hands raised and they were worshiping God fervently, as if they had experienced another Pentecost. . . . . And I felt the Holy Spirit say to me: “I am going to turn the Catholic Church upside down.” (www. charisma news.com /opinion/ 38632-the- coming-tsunami- in-the-catholic- church)

But it was a spiritual tsunami, right? Yes, but from the buildings and objects being moved and broken, it would have been just as effective to call it a spiritual earthquake. Why did Joyner and Grady both hear from God about a spiritual tsunami? Even though the Catholics were acting “Pentecostal,” that is not new; it happened before during the original Charismatic Renewal. But this is not a renewal, it is a shakeup; and a real tsunami has the very real power to also cause a spiritual tsunami within Catholicism the same as Protestantism.

More recently, in January of 2021, Dana Coverstone had a dream called The Plumb Line, in which he saw a great shaking coming to Wall Street, Washington D.C., and the Church.  He saw a man walk up to the stock market on Wall Street and hold up a plumb line, which showed the building to be off, so he put his hands on it, and it began to shake back and forth, and up and down; the shaking continued even after he removed his hands. People, files, and money were thrown out the window.

The man then went up to the Capital in Washington D.C. and also held up the plumb line; then he stomped one foot hard on the ground, and the Capital shook badly, and people and files were thrown out. Then he saw a church building and the man grabbed the church with both hands and lifted it into the air and looked right at Dana and said:

“I warned them.” He then shook the Church aggressively and violently, and he shook it for several moments. The hands on Wall Street, the hands on the Capital had just been like a push. And then he took his hands off, and they began to shake. And they continued to shake. But he actually shook the Church aggressively and violently and he shook it for several moments. And the lights and the cross went out. The windows broke open, I saw the outer walls begin to tear from each other.

And then he slammed the Church down hard just on the ground, and the front doors broke open. And the doors actually fell off the hinges. And I watched people stumble out of that Church like they were dizzy. And they started to run away as fast as they could, and as they ran they were throwing Bibles to the ground and not even looking back. They were trying to get out of there as fast as they could. . . . as these people walked by, left the Church and walked out of the Church; as they were walking by, they were denying even knowing who Jesus was. . . . “that’s not my Church. I just, I just go [there]” . . . as if they were embarrassed for even being a part of the Church that had just been shaken.

Even pastors ran from the church while covering their faces. But many people did not run from it, he saw them at the altars, and were tied with ropes and chains to it, and to each other. They were also holding onto Bibles very tightly, as they mourned those who had died. The man then walked in and said:

“You took warning, and you were good to do so. Your obedience has been noted, and there will be fruit, both here and in heaven. Though shaken and broken, you will arise my Bride and work until I come.”

Notice that Wall Street and Washington D.C. are both on the east coast of the USA, and some Christians died when the church was shaken. Therefore, it is highly probable that this event will be caused by the tsunami.

The next major disaster to take place will be an asteroid impact. But we are not given any indication of how much time will pass between these two disasters; it could be a few months or a few years.

Here are a few prophecies not found in the Bible, but which agree with the interpretation of Bible prophecy presented in this book. Here is an excerpt from a vision Rick Joyner had, called A Vision of The Harvest, which can only be about the GT:

. . . Wars will increase. There will even be some nuclear exchanges, but on a limited basis, mostly between Third World nations. Far more will perish by plagues and natural disasters than by wars during the period of this vision. The very foundations of civilization will shake and erode. Even the world’s most stable governments will be melting like wax, losing authority and control over their populations. Eventually it will be hard to find anyone with the courage to assume authority. This will cause sweeping paranoia throughout the entire earth.

Huge mobs will attack everything in their path. The infrastructure of the great denominational churches and large visible ministries will be one of their primary targets and will vanish almost overnight. Pagan religions, cults and witchcraft will spread like plagues but these will also become targets of the mobs. By this time governments will have broken down to the point that lynching and mass executions, perpetrated by these mobs, will be ignored by the authorities. Fear and deep darkness cover the earth, but this just makes the glory which is appearing upon the saints more striking. Huge masses of people will be streaming to the Lord; the inflow so great in places that very young Christians will be pastoring large bodies of believers. Arenas and stadiums will overflow nightly as the believers come together to hear the apostles and teachers. . . . What I was allowed to foresee ended with increasing chaos and increasing revival.

In 1986, Lance Lambert gave a prophecy at a prophetic conference in Jerusalem. The prophecy clearly describes what can only be the Great Tribulation. I originally found it on the TBN website, yet TBN still teaches that Christians will not go through the GT:

“It will not be long before there will come upon the world a time of unparalleled upheaval and turmoil. Do not fear for it is I the Lord who am shaking all things. I began this shaking with the first world war and I greatly increased it through the second world war. Since 1973 I have given it an even greater impetus. In the last stage, I plan to complete it with the shaking of the universe itself, with signs in sun and moon and stars. But before that point is reached, I will judge the nations and the time is near. It will not only be by war and civil war, by anarchy and terrorism, and by monetary collapses that I will judge the nations, but also by natural disasters: by earthquakes, by shortages and famines and by old and new plague diseases. I will also judge them by giving them over to their own ways, to lawlessness, to loveless selfishness, to delusion and to believing a lie; to false religion and an apostate church, even to a Christianity without me.

“Do not fear when these things begin to happen, for I disclose these things to you before they commence in order that you might be prepared, and that in the day of trouble and of evil you may stand firm and overcome. For I purpose that you may become the means of encouraging and strengthening many who love me but who are weak. I desire that through you many may become strong in me, and that multitudes of others might find my salvation through you. . . . “For in the midst of these judgments multitudes upon multitudes will be saved from the nations. You will hardly know how to bring the harvest in, but my Spirit will equip you for the task.

And to Israel, will I also turn in that day, and I will melt the hardening which has befallen her. I will turn their blindness into clear sight, and tear away the veil on their heart. Then shall they be redeemed with heart bursting joy, and it will become a fountain of new and resurrection life to the whole company of the redeemed. “Do not fear for these days, for I have purposed that you shall stand with Me and serve Me in them. Fear not, for I love you and I will protect you and equip you. I, the Lord, will anoint you with a new anointing and you will work My works and fulfill My counsel. You shall stand before Me, the Lord of the whole earth and serve Me with understanding and with power and you shall reign with Me during these days. Above all, I call you to be intercessors.” (www.lancelambert.org/ prophetic.php/message/1/April-1986)

These prophecies indicate that many people will turn to Jesus during the trouble of the GT, as expected. At the same time, other people will turn away from God because of their suffering and the spread of evil. Notice that there was not one mention of world government. But it did mention that Israel will turn to God during this time, not after it. The wording actually suggests that they will turn to God shortly before the final Rapture, because their turning to God will result in “a fountain of new and resurrection life.”

Jesus said through prophet Shirley Lise:

“Life as man has known it, will not be the same. Changes in the earth’s atmosphere shall usher in changes to seasons. Drought, cold, floods, these will be the norm. These are signs of My coming and the thoughts of men shall be on these things and all will know of the change. Even those who are in far away places will know and acknowledge that the end is near. Yet, all these things will work together for good, for in them, I shall make a way for multitudes to come into the ark prepared as a place of safety.” (1-13-03)

St. Hildegard (d. 1179), prophesied:

Toward the end of the world, mankind will be purified through sufferings. This will be true especially of the clergy, who will be robbed of all property. . . .  Before the Comet comes, many nations, the good excepted, will be scoured with want and famine. The great nation in the ocean [England] that is inhabited by people of different tribes and descent will be devastated by an earthquake, storm and tidal wave. It will be divided and, in great part be submerged. (Catholic Prophecy, Yves Dupont, p. 16-17)

The robbery of the Catholics and Protestants will take place during the GT, especially during WW3 when Europe is invaded by Russia, China, and Islamic troops. A nun at the monastery of Vals in Catalonia wrote a prophecy on January 21, 1868:

There are four years that I see which will be terrible with the calamities and punishments which will menace the world: it will be like another flood, not of water but of a thousand other calamities . . . (After Nostradamus, by A. Woldben, page 123)

So even Catholic prophecies confirm that the GT will be a time of great trouble, but there is no mention of global-government under a dictator. Jesus will be with us, and afterwards, we will all witness the victory of Christianity and God’s Kingdom on Earth. There are dozens of Catholic prophecies about the last days, but many of them are contradictory, even the officially accepted ones; so they are not all genuine, the same is true for Protestant prophecies.

(There are several well-known ministers who teach correct doctrine, but that is not enough; they desire to be Greeaat prophets, so they invent visits from the angel Gabriel or Jesus, who tell them things that are false. These prophets read the news and other prophecies, and prophesy many things that any informed Christian could come up with; but when it comes to Revelation, their understanding is wrong, so their prophecies are wrong. One such false prophet says the pope is the False Prophet of Revelation 13. The pope is a false prophet, but not the false prophet.)

Finally, the 12th century prophecy by St. Malachy says we now have the last pope. St. Malachy predicted 112 popes to the return of Christ; the 111th was “The Glory of the Olive.” All of his predictions have been accurate. Pope Francis, elected in 2013, is the final pope. St. Malachy wrote:

In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock among many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people.

This speaks of the GT in which Rome will be destroyed in WW3, and then Christ will judge the world. Though the 112th pope was born in Argentina, his parents came from Italy, so technically, he is a Roman. And he took the name Francis after St. Francis of Assisi, also Italian.

The same evening that Pope Benedict resigned, a huge lightning bolt hit the top of the Vatican. Catholic prophecies say, that in a future affliction of the Church, the enemies of Christ will enter the Vatican, kill the priests, and the pope will have to flee to another country where he will be killed. Pope Pius IX (19th century) said:

“There will be a great prodigy [sign or wonder in the sky] which will fill the world with awe. But this prodigy will be preceded by the triumph of a revolution during which the Church will go through ordeals that are beyond description.” (https://catholicprophecy.org)

This prophecy says a revolution will be victorious, during which Christianity will suffer great persecution. After the revolution, a great sign or wonder will be in the sky for all the world to see. It is a sign that global destruction is approaching. It will likely be planetary in nature. More info on the signs of the Day of Judgment is in The Return of Christ and Three Days of Darkness.

The Nursing Nun of Belay, 1800-1850, gave a prophecy similar to what we have been discussing in this chapter:

Once again the madmen seem to gain the upper hand! They laugh God to scorn. Now, the churches are closed; the pastors run away; the Holy Sacrifice [Mass] ceases. . . . There was also a great battle, the like of which has never been seen before. Blood was flowing like water after a heavy rain. The wicked were trying to slaughter all the servants of the Religion of Jesus Christ. After they had killed a large number, they raised a cry of victory, but suddenly the just received help from above. (Birch, Trial, Tribulation, & Triumph, p. 234)

The above prophecy seems to show the global attack on Christians, and then help from God; is this the Two Witnesses coming to life? The Rapture?

Fr. Nectou (18th century) foresaw the Great Tribulation, the civil wars in Europe, and the destruction of Satan’s followers:

The confusion will be so general that men will not be able to think aright, as if God had withheld His Providence from mankind, and that, during the worst crisis, the best that can be done would be to remain where God has placed us, and persevere in fervent prayers…. At that time there will be such a terrible crisis that people will believe that the end of the world has come. Blood will flow in many large cities. The very elements will be convulsed. It will be like a little General Judgment.

A great multitude of people will lose their lives in those calamitous times, but the wicked will not prevail. They will indeed attempt to destroy the whole Church, but not enough time will be allowed them, because the frightful crisis will be of short duration. When all is considered lost, all will be found safe. . . . England in her turn will experience a more frightful revolution than that of France. It will continue long enough for France to recover her strength; then she will help England to restore peace and order.

During this revolution, which will very likely be general and not confined to France. Paris will be destroyed so completely that twenty years afterwards fathers walking over its ruins with their children will be asked by them what kind of place that was; to whom they will answer: “My child, this was a great city which God has destroyed on account of her crimes.”

Yes. Paris will certainly be destroyed: but, before this happens, such signs and portents will be seen, that all good people will be induced to flee away from it. After these most frightful events, order will be restored everywhere. Justice will reign throughout the whole world . . . (Yves Dupont, Catholic Prophecy, p. 47-48).

The elements being “convulsed” puts this prophecy nowhere but in the GT and Wrath of God. So, World War 3 will include Muslims in Europe trying to take control of the EU nations. The civil war in France is doubtless between the imported Muslims and the native French, the same in England. The global attack on Christians will NOT be the only attack, as we will be attacked throughout WW3; the global attack is just the first major attack designed to try to destroy Christianity. It is designed to be the death blow for Christianity, but will only result in a great victory for God, the Rapture.

Why so many Catholic prophecies? Because the Catholic Church has never recognized a secession of the prophetic gift. There have been prophecies throughout Church history, but the first Protestants rejected the gift, and so there is little evidence for it among Protestantism until the rise of Pentecostalism; however, there were a few isolated instances. Many Protestant churches still reject any prophecy not found in the Bible (and many do not even believe or study those which are in the Bible!).

Escape From Christendom

In 1980, Robert E. Burnell had a dream about a Christian pilgrim on a journey which symbolizes a person on his/her Christian walk. Because of its content, I believe this to be a genuine dream from God with spiritual and prophetic importance. Because of its length, I will not include it all here, but will merely discuss what it says and what it means, along with some quotes that will provide a good summary. There are many valuable lessons that we can learn from this dream, but the most important is that many Christians will be here when the USA is invaded.  The pilgrim approaches a glorious city:

In my dream I see the lone figure of a man following a road. As the sun sets beneath the hills, a city comes into view. Nearing it, the traveler sees what appears to be a large group of churches. Spires and crosses pierce the skyline. His pace quickens. Is this his destination? He passes an imposing structure, a neon sign flashing “Cathedral of the Future.” Farther on a floodlit stadium supports a billboard boasting that fifty thousand people crowd into evangelistic meetings there three nights a week. Beyond this, modest “New Testament” chapels and Hebrew Christian synagogues cluster together on the street front.

“Is this the City of God?” I heard the traveler ask a woman at the information booth in the central square.

“No this is Christian City, “she replies.

“But I thought this road led to the City of God!” He exclaims with great disappointment.

“That’s what we all thought when we arrived,” she answers, her tone sympathetic.

The City of God is a metaphor for Heaven, and Christian City represents the majority of present-day Christianity in America. To arrive at the City of God, the pilgrim must travel through four wildernesses: first is the Wilderness of Forgiveness, then the Wilderness of Worship, then of Prayer, then what is simply called the Harvest.

The pilgrim continues on his journey and is occasionally approached by a man or woman who gives him instructions and encouragement. At first the pilgrim is tempted to settle down in Christian City, where there are Christian restaurants, Christian bookstores, and many activities to keep Christians amused and happy.

He sees busy people hurrying hither and yon with their Bibles and shiny attaché cases, looking like men and women who know their destiny. But it is clear they lack something which the old man with eyes like a prophet possesses.

The traveler is about to leave Christian City and travel through the desert toward the City of God when someone tries to discourage him from going toward the City of God:

“Don’t be fooled!” His neighbor replies quickly. “Everyone who has ever taken that path has been lost, swallowed up by the desert! . . .”

The road to the City of God is a path that is rarely traveled. He considers whether to travel the path or stay in Christian City, then one of his angelic guides shows up:

“If you stay here in Christian City, you’ll wither away. You must take the path. I belong to the desert you saw earlier. I was sent here to encourage you to press on. You’ll travel many miles. You’ll be hot and thirsty; but angels will walk with you, and there will be springs of water along the way. And at your journeys end you will reach the City of God! You have never seen such beauty! And when you arrive the gates will open for you, for you are expected.”

His guide goes on to say:

“Christian City is the place for those who want religion but don’t want to lose their lives. The desert is the territory of those whose hearts are so thirsty for God, that they are willing to be lost in Him.”

Each person appears to travel through the deserts alone, but when they are famished, someone is there to give them a flask of cool water. We are each accountable directly to God; we cannot rely upon any church or any other person to get us to the truth; we must travel our road to the truth alone, but we have the Holy Spirit to guide us and strengthen us on the way.

In the Wilderness of Forgiveness, he learns to forgive; in the Wilderness of Worship he learns to worship God and experiences wonderful worship. He also realizes that in Christian City many people go through the motions of worshipping God, but their “real worship, the thing which obsesses the mind day and night, is idolatry.” His guide tells him:

“When you are lost in the worship of God, you no longer worship such things as money, romance, or success. You have found the one true object of worship, and as you worship Him you are fulfilled.”

In the Wilderness of Prayer, he learns that life can be hard in order to make us pray hard, and so we can learn to pray. Then he reaches the final area before Heaven, and encounters many people who are sick and suffering.

He is instructed to take a flask of water and give some to each person who needs help. This water revives them, and they begin to give water to others. The pilgrim realizes that this work will never end; that he will be occupied with it until he dies or until the Rapture. This work is the work of spreading the Gospel and helping the poor; then his guide says:

“Don’t worry. Just keep reviving these people until they’re all on their feet. Then the gates of the City of God will be open and the inhabitants will come out and escort you in.”

The pilgrim questions whether he will have “the strength to continue on working among people with such great needs.” His guide tells him:

“Find out where people really hurt, what they really need. Also, you must tell them about Jesus as you go about with your flask. The water in the flask and this message of yours are identical. These dying people are thirsting for Jesus, not theories about Jesus, but Jesus Himself. The message of Jesus is a drink of refreshing water which brings them back to life. Remember the verse, ‘Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without pay, give without pay.’”

The previous three Wildernesses served to prepare the traveler for his work of helping people find true Christianity. He works until he becomes tired and asks how long this work will last, much like we often ask how long until Christ returns.

He tires and sits to rest. While he is resting another traveler comes by and gives him water to drink, which refreshes him spiritually speaking. Then his guide shows up and encourages him:

“If you fail to look up in the midst of your labors and see the City of God, fail to stop and hear its music, neglect to breathe the atmosphere it sends forth to you, or to drink from that stream which flows out from beneath its gates, you will be exhausted. You must remember that sustaining power comes from the City.”

Another worker also encourages him to look to the City of God, which refers to praying, worshiping, and reading the Bible that keeps our spirit-life strong. The pilgrim then nears the end of his work here on Earth as he sees two great revivals taking place; one takes place in Christian City, and another takes place in the desert, as more and more people are raised to life by a single drop of the refreshing water of the Spirit– which is becoming a true Christian.

I saw beneath me two revivals simultaneously in progress. Christian City was experiencing a revival which manifested itself in a massive and rapid growth. Within a very short amount of time the population had increased tenfold. Building was going on everywhere. New homes sprawled up and down the surrounding hills. But the most dramatic aspect of this growth in Christian City was the appearance of magnificent new church structures towering over the countryside. One cathedral was being completed which had a spire seventy stories high, housing the world’s most powerful transmitter. Another church was taking shape in the form of a giant glass dome with revolving stage and wrap-around sound systems. The most unusual one looked like an upright cross with fifteen elevators taking people up to the sanctuary housed in the south arm and a Christian restaurant housed in the north arm. There were Christian educational facilities for every age group from pre-kindergarten to graduate school; this group sponsored scenic retreat centers in the style of Swiss chalets with vast seminar halls.

This vision was seen in 1980 when there were only a few mega-churches, but which are now commonplace. It continues:

There was a feeling in Christian City that this growth was a sign of the world’s last days. Books on the end of the age were up near the top of the Christian best seller lists, second only to the Christian sex manuals. Reporters came from all over the world to do articles on the booming conditions there. The inhabitants of Christian City were claiming that when the End came, they would be caught away to the City of God, before the chaos erupted.

This shows that they believed in the Pre-trib Rapture.

At the same time, I saw across the desert far distant from Christian City a very different revival taking place with none of the accouterments of successful religion. Dying men and women were being raised to their feet like the dry bones that the Prophet Ezekiel saw. They were being delivered from their diseases, their sins, and their spiritual prisons, merely by drinking Living Water from the holy Spring. Those who tasted the life-giving water shared it with others, bringing healing to them. As by a spreading fire or a surging flood, the sick ones were being swept to their feet. Laborers there, who had spent years seeing limited results, found that now it was taking no more than a single drop of water on a parched tongue to raise the dying to life. And each day the process was accelerating.

Finally I saw the last prone body raised to life. What once appeared a battlefield of defeat had become the camp of a mighty army. Suddenly an earthquake shook the ground beneath my feet. The Sky darkened and a sound of war rolled in from the east.

This shows that when the task of taking the Gospel into all the world is finally finished, then WW3 will take place; though this might merely show the USA being invaded. WW3 might have started some months or years before this invasion.

Then I saw Christian City being invaded and destroyed. The magnificent cathedrals, the world’s largest cross, retreat centers and seminar halls were splintered apart and flattened by deafening explosions. Dead bodies of the inhabitants who had thought they would escape this holocaust filled the streets. The armies of destruction now pressed on into the desert toward the scene of the second revival. Soon this seemingly indestructible horde was engulfing the Wilderness of forgiveness, the Wilderness of Worship and the Wilderness of Prayer. When the City of God came into its view, a single roar like that of a wounded beast filled the air. The horde drove on toward its goal, appearing about to storm the City of God.

This dream tells us that America will be invaded (and likely nuked), and that Christendom will be here on Earth when the invasion takes place. But what about the Rapture? This being a vision, I believe the Rapture can be put into the vision, though not clearly seen. I believe those in Christian City represent those who are not totally sold out to God; and since they are guilty of the sin of “idolatry,” then they will not go in the Rapture. They are not part of the FirstFruits; the best part of the crop. The dream continues:

But near the wall of the City, the army of revived ones waited poised and ready. When the enemy came within range, the gates of the City burst open. Out marched the Army of Light led by a King of such splendor that the enemy horde had to shield its eyes. The revived ones merged with the Army of Light and joined battle with [against] the enemy. Three-and-a half days later the war was over. The enemy was destroyed and the triumphant ones entered the City of God for which they had been chosen before the foundation of the world.

This vision can be difficult to understand in regards to the timing of the Rapture. Since my view of the Rapture timing changed, I had to look at this vision differently. I believe it indicates the Rapture.

Notice that those living in Christian City are attacked and receive destruction from the invading armies. Notice also that those living in the Wilderness join the army from the City of God right before the invaders reach them. Both Christian City and the Wilderness are not physical locations, but spiritual; this means that a Christian can be in the Wilderness while living next door to someone who lives in Christian City.

That being the case, what this vision tells us is that those who are living in the spiritual place of Christian City will not be Raptured, they will be attacked by invading armies. And it appears that the revived ones in the Wilderness represent the FirstFruits; when they merge with the army of light, that represents them being killed in the global terrorist attack that happens right before the invasion. Only spiritual beings can fight with an angelic army, so they are killed.

And if you notice, it happens BEFORE the army reaches them. So even though the dream shows the army attacking Christian City; since the most righteous Christians can be living next door to those in Christian City, then it requires this difficult to understand interpretation.

In Revelation 11, the Two Witnesses are killed; then 3.5 days later the Rapture takes place, and the bodies of the dead witnesses come to life at the Rapture. So in this vision, 3.5 days later, the battle is over and they enter Heaven. This sounds as though it represents 3.5 years, but they very well may only fight with the angelic army for 3.5 days, then go up in the Rapture, which happens seconds before the physical invasion.

The most important thing to get from this dream is that there are two groups of Christians in America; one group will not be prepared, and be caught by surprise. They are the majority of Christians in America; they are not lost in Christ nor truly follow Him daily. Those in Christian City go to church on Sunday morning, then binge-watch trash on Netflix all Sunday afternoon. Those in the wilderness are living for Christ to the best of their ability, even though they are not actual saints.

Those in Christian City are prosperous and successful Americans, and feel secure in their Churchianity. They enjoy going to movies and sporting events, and are almost indistinguishable from nonChristians. Chances are high that they believe a lot of false doctrines, which is lukewarm Christianity today. Sermons on repentance, holiness, and taking up your cross to follow Christ, have been replaced by sermons on success, prosperity, endless grace, and the Pre-tribulation Rapture.

There is a passage in Ezekiel that applies here. The prophet had a vision in which he was shown the abominations of idolatry that were taking place in the Temple. And God spoke to an angel in the vision and said:

“Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan for all the abominations that are done in its midst.” (Ezk. 9:4)

Those who received the mark were saved from destruction; the remainder were to be killed in God’s anger. It was not enough that the Jews not engage in the abominations that others were doing; they had to morn and abhor what was happening. Lukewarm Christianity is unconcerned about, even accepting and condoning, the moral decline around them. There are even churches that accept and believe that abortion is perfectly fine.

And many Christians look like they are working hard, doing the Lord’s work, but they are really just building their own kingdoms, not God’s Kingdom. Many “Christians” have not been converted to Christ, but to a denomination, or to becoming the follower of a big-name preacher. They don’t know true Christianity. This is why so many churches in America have become apostates and have no idea of it. Do you follow religion? Or Christ?

The Christians who are part of the lukewarm Church today will not be spared from the invasion during WW3. Not only will they miss the Rapture, they will not be told to flee to the Cities of Refuge. The dream concludes:

Never has it been more clear to me that two revivals are in progress on the earth. One is the revival of the Spirit of God by which dead men and women are freed from their sins by the blood of the Lamb and raised to a life which is the life of the sons of God, a life which bears God’s nature, manifests God’s mercy. The other revival is the revival of religious flesh, a revival which is so appealing and gathers such multitudes and wields such power in this world because it offers all the comfort of religion, while allowing you to keep your ego and all rights to yourself.

Surely each of us has to decide which revival he is going to be part of. Am I going to invest my life in some enterprise of booming Christian City? Or am I going to lose my life in the pursuit of God’s will of mercy? Am I going to concentrate on building something that will cause the citizens of Christian City of sit up and take notice? Or am I going to spend my life bringing the poor and the maimed and the halt and the blind to the Master’s table?

You can read the entire dream on many web sites, including mine, and can be found in several books.

There are many old prophecies that predict a time when Europe will once again be involved in a massive war, as well as civil wars; likely caused by the many Muslims that have gone to Europe, legally and illegally:

The fifth period [of Christianity] is one of affliction, desolation, humiliation, and poverty for the Church. Jesus Christ will purify His people through cruel wars, famines, plague, epidemics, and other horrible calamities. He will also afflict and weaken the Latin Church with many heresies. It is a period of defections, calamities, and extermination. Those Christians who survive the sword, plague, and famines, will be few on earth. Nations will fight against nations, and will be desolated by internecine dissensions. (B. Holzhauser, 1850. Yves Dupont, Catholic Prophecy, p. 38)

Are we not to fear, during this period [end time], that the Mohammedans will come again, working out their sinister schemes against the Latin Church? (Apocalypsis, B. Holzhauser, 1850; Trial, Tribulation, and Trumph, by D.A. Birch, p, 332)

Winds of change? Winds of destruction? (11-6-08 )

I was sitting in my bedroom gazing at the woodland scene outside the window. As I watched the wind suddenly increased and became very powerful.

The wind changed the view and it was as if I was observing a newsreel on TV. The scenes that I saw took my breath away. Earthquakes, war, streets filled with blood. I beheld starving children and people dying of thirst and hunger. Displays of devastation, violence and chaos. I saw government internment camps and places where people (saints?) were in hiding.

I knew that all of these heartrending things were taking place in America for there was a backdrop of the flag and yellow ribbons tied to trees. The Lord then gave me these verses. [Rev. 8:5-13].

Rev. 8:5-13 describe the first four Trumpet-judgments, which will happen soon
