One
evening while I meditation, the Spirit of the Lord came upon me. I began
to tremble from head to foot, as I felt the power fill the room. The
place began to vibrate and pulsate with the glory of God, and I began to
realize that a supernatural phenomenon was about to take place — I
trembled in the presence of God Almighty. It is not a light thing to come
into the presence of God. Moses of old could not bear to see the face of
God. He could only see God from the thighs down, and his face shone with
the glory of God when he came down from Sinai. Being just a mere human
being, the effects of this remarkable occasion stirred every fiber of my
being, and I trembled and said, “Please, dear God, this is so marvelous
and so glorious. It is more that I can bear. God, I will die unless you
help me.” At that moment I felt the peace of God fill my soul, and the
glory of the Lord came upon me. I was then strengthened and able to bear
what God wanted to show me.
Then
I heard the voice of the Lord speak to me. He spoke in an audible voice,
and said, “My son, I am going to show you great tragedies soon to come
upon the face of the earth. Destruction will be great; for I have called
men night and day to call upon Me, and to worship Me in spirit and in
truth; but man has gone on in his own selfish way, and has served the god
of mammon. Man has not harkened unto Me, and great destruction will
come.” He said, “My son, look upon these things, and take the message to
the uttermost parts of the earth, and tell men and women these things will
surely come, and My coming is near.”
Dear friends, there stood before me a panoramic picture. I looked, and
saw the skies become angry and dark. saw the black clouds begin to
lower. I was as wide–awake as I am now, and saw this remarkable vision.
I heard the thunder roar and saw the lightning flash, as nature broke out
in her greatest fury.
Then I heard the sound of rushing waters over the land. A dreadful,
solemn sound as it moved over the land —it was the sound of a tidal–wave,
yes, even flood waters. Then, as the sky became black, an opening
appeared and I was able to peer through the dark clouds, and I saw a
tidal–wave sweeping over the land; and on the wave were human bodies and
the bodies of animals and beasts. Then I saw it knock down great
buildings and move across the land. The destruction was great — a
horrible sight. I wish these feeble lips of mine could describe the
horror of that terrible sight.
Then I
heard the voice of the Lord speak to me again; and He said, “O son, look
and see; for a tidal–wave shall come, and floods shall come sweeping over
a great portion of the land. Thousands shall die; for I have spoken, and
this it will be; for I have called and plead with man to come unto Me.
Yea, I have sent My Son to die for man. I have shown My love, but My love
has been resisted, and man has gone on in his own selfish way. Yea, My
son, My anger is kindled against the children of men, and great
destruction shall come, and thousands shall die of man and of beast. But
those who love the Lord their God, and that serve Me, and that harken unto
the Lord their God, I will protect them, every one, in the hollow of My
hand.”
Then, my dear friends, this vision passed away; and again, another picture
appeared before me. This time again I saw the dark angry clouds roll in,
and I heard the thunder roar, and saw the lightening flash across the
sky. The elements of nature began to break forth once more in great
fury. This time I heard the sound of a great wind. Yes, my friends, I
heard the sound of a great hurricane, the sound of a tornado, a terrible
wind–storm.
Then
the sky began to break, and I could look through and see the results, the
devastation of this terrible wind–storm. I saw great buildings knocked to
the ground, I saw trees, mighty trees, huge trees, lifted up by the roots
and carried through the air. I saw huge concrete and steel buildings
twisted and torn like tiny toys. I saw human–beings carried through the
air, and I saw beasts and birds in the air. I saw them, as they were
dashed against buildings, and their bodies torn asunder. I saw human
torsos with arms and legs gone, their heads gone, and they were
disemboweled — a horrible looking gruesome sight I ever saw in my life. I
hope to God I never shall see a sight like that again.
Then
I heard the voice of the Lord speak to me, and say, “My son, I called upon
the children of men everywhere. I have shown them my love. I have called
unto them in the morning. I have called unto them at the noon–tide; but
they resisted the Lord their God. Yea, my son, My anger is kindled
against the children of men who have been disobedient to Me. I have been
longsuffering, yet they have resisted My love. My wrath shall come.
Tornadoes shall sweep through the land, such as men never have seen
before, and wind–storms. Yea, I shall call the winds from the east and
the west, the north and the south, and they shall blow, and destruction
shall be great to man and to beast; for it is I, the Lord God, who has
spoken, and thus shall it be. But, my son, they that love the Lord their
God, they that serve Me with their whole heart and mind and soul, they
that cherish My name and worship Me, I will protect them in the hollow of
My hand; and not a hair of their heads shall be touched.”
This
vision passed away, and again, my friends, another picture came before
me. This time I was very weak; for it was the most horrible sight I ever
dreamed of, or read of before. And I said, “Please, dear God, you’ve got
to help me! This is too terrible.”
I
know God sent His ministering angels to minister and to give me strength
in this hour, for I felt renewed strength come into me.
This
time I saw myself walking down the streets of a great modern city with
huge sky–scrapers. It was a large city. As I walked down the streets of
this city, a strange feeling came over me. I noticed the ground begin to
move, and buildings sway. A great earthquake came. I saw huge buildings
curl and look like a corkscrew. I saw large buildings, made of concrete
and steel, twist and fall to the ground. I saw destruction and bloodshed
on every hand.
Then
I heard the voice of the Lord speaking to me, and saying, “My son, look
what shall come on the face of the earth; for I shall send earthquakes in
divers places. Great cities shall be destroyed. Thousands shall die.
Destruction shall be great, because men and women have not hearkened unto
the Lord their God. They have forgotten the house of the Lord. They have
forgotten to worship Me in spirit and in truth. Yea, my son, My love has
gone out to the children of men. I have told them of My love. Yea, I
have talked to them night and day, but they continue to resist the Lord
and go on and on in their own selfish way; and because they have forgotten
Me, My wrath is kindled. Because of their disobedience, I will send
earthquakes in divers places. Destruction shall be great, and thousands
shall die. But, my son, they that love Me, they that serve Me, they that
worship Me, they that are the sheep of My fold, I will protect them in the
hollow of My hand.”
Then, this last picture came before me. This time I was carried by the
Spirit into the midst of a great wheat field. The wheat was ripened unto
harvest. You have seen a beautiful wheat field ready to harvest. It
looked so tall and stately. The wind would move over it until it looked
like an ocean of gold. I stood in the midst of that beautiful wheat field
and admired it.
Then, I noticed the sun became so hot I was not able to withstand the
heat, and I felt faint. This came very suddenly. I wondered, at the
time, why people didn’t come to harvest the grain; but, apparently it was
because of the terrific heat that came so suddenly. I said, “Dear Lord, I
am overcome with the heat of the day. You will have to help me!” And
immediately I was refreshed and made new, and every bit of faintness was
gone completely. I stood there, and I could see the effects of the
terrific heat from the sun. It didn’t effect me at all; yet, I could see
the effect upon the field. It seemed it would burn the field up. I could
see the grain, as it was beginning to wilt; and I could see the fruit of
the land begin to fall to the ground.
Then
I was carried by the Spirit into a great city; and it was like walking
into a mammoth morgue. It was a city of death; for the people were
starving to death because of a great world–wide famine that had hit the
country. People walked the streets like human skeletons: their eyes
sunken in, their cheeks sunken in and hollow. They were pale and
gruesome, silently walking down the streets of this huge city, starving to
death.
I
shall never forget seeing a woman that looked like a skeleton, with a
little baby clutched to her breast, with her bony fingers clutching the
little infant baby in her arms. The little baby looked like a skeleton.
It was a most sickening, gruesome looking sight. This baby looked into my
eyes. I never saw such a sight in my life. It looked like a skeleton
with skin stretched over it – a little baby starving to death – a ghastly
looking sight!
Then
I heard the Lord saying, “My son, hearken; for these things shall verily
come to pass; for I have called upon the children of men. I sent My Son,
Jesus Christ, to die for the world. The Gospel has been preached. Men
and women have heard the Gospel, but they have not hearkened unto the Lord
their God. They have followed in their own selfish ways. They have left
the house of the Lord.
They
have turned away from the God of their fathers. They have gone on in
their selfish ways. They have been disobedient. Yea, my son, My wrath is
kindled against the children of disobedience.
“A
great famine shall sweep the whole earth; and depression shall come.
Depression greater than ever, shall come on the face of the earth, and
millions shall die; for it is the Lord that hath spoken. But, my son, go
to the uttermost parts of the earth, tell men and women everywhere that
these things shall come; for surely, my son, I have spoken, and surely it
shall be. It shall come, but, verily, they that love Me, they that serve
Me, and they that worship Me, they that are the sheep of My fold, I will
protect them in the hollow of My hand, and not a hair of their heads shall
be harmed.”
Dear
reader, are you prepared for these things that are to come upon the
earth? Don’t wait until these tragedies hit. Make sure you are ready
now. God has protection for you against these things if you are His
child. He will protect you in the hollow of His hand. God to Church.
Seek God. Pray and read your Bible.
“And
take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with
surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of life, an so that day come upon
you unawares. For as a snare shall it come upon them that dwell on the
face of the earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be
accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and
to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:34-36
Our
safest and surest defense against impending danger is the protection of
Almighty God. “They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which
abideth forever.” Psalm 125:1

we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” I John 1:9.
