When I was a kid, I read about David Wilkerson who took the gospel to the gangs of New York. I even saw the movie The Cross and the Switchblade made about him. Many know about him, but most don't know what happened in his church just eight years ago.
In the summer of 2001, Pastor David Wilkerson of the Times Square Church in New York City was "warned by God" that a calamity was coming. For six weeks, he felt an intense burden and enormous heaviness. A critical need for intercession was so profound that Pastor Wilkerson canceled everything on the church calendar – mission's conferences, youth events, and every guest speaker. For six weeks, there wasn't a sermon. Instead, there was intercession for our nation with weeping and repentance. He told his congregation that he "knew" something was coming and that something was bad. And that something was soon. So the congregation prayed and prayed and prayed.
At 8:46 a.m. on 9/11/2001, the first plane hit the World Trade Center. I
If David Wilkerson says he's heard something from God today, I think we'd be crazy not to listen, especially after his previous experience of having been "warned by God" proved to be true. He now says that he feels the same thing he felt leading up to the [9/11/2001] attack by radical Moslems.
In an "urgent message" dated March 7, 2009, Wilkerson said:
AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT IS GOING TO BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO TREMBLE – EVEN THE GODLIEST AMONG US. For 10 years, I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires such as what we saw in Watts [Los Angeles] years ago. There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting including Times Square in New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God's wrath.
In essence, God is about to judge the raging sins of America and the other nations, and to destroy the world's secular foundations. Just as David wrote to Israel as a warning from God in Psalm 11:6-7: ". . . .Upon the wicked he [God] will rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright ", the same message is being sent to our present world.
This is a righteous judgment, like the judgments on Sodom & Gomorrah and during Noah's generation as recorded in ancient Jewish history in The Bible.
Similarly, according to Jewish ancient history, the prophet Jeremiah was instructed by God to also warn wicked Israel, ". . .Thus saith the Lord: Behold I frame evil against you and devise a device against you; return ye now everyone from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good. And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart. . . ." [Jeremiah 18:11-12]. And that warning, once again, pretty well applies to our world today.
The bottom line is that America and the rest of the world are economically and morally bankrupt.
Warren Buffett has recently said that our economy has "fallen off a cliff".
With the election of the most pro-abortion President [and Congress] in history, there's no question that we deserve God's judgment. Barack Obama recently signed an executive order, which in essence permits the "use an unborn child as material to be used to develop future human spare parts". So much for defending the "least of these", which he so often claimed during his presidential campaign. It is a way of cannibalizing the weak to help the strong. And by the way, don't believe everything you hear in the news. Obama did not say that he was against cloning; he said he was against reproductive cloning. Killing a new life after cloning one is another matter entirely. Welcome to Obama's "brave new world".
And it has been reported that Iran now has all that it needs to build its own nuclear weapons.
So, if what should we do?
First, I give you a practical piece of advice. Lay in store a 30-day supply of non-perishable food supply, toiletries and other essentials. In major cities, grocery stores are [will be] emptied in an hour at the sign of an impending disaster.
And when the guy [Wilkerson] warns us: "AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN", I think we would do well to heed it, and follow the words Wilkerson has quoted from Jeremiah 18:11: ". . .turn back each of you from your evil way, and reform your ways and deeds. . ."
Note: I do not know when these things will come to pass, but I know it is not far off. I have unburdened my soul to you. Do with the message as you choose.
