Yesterday, David Wilkerson, a much-respected man of God, submitted a warning of a dire calamity to come upon this country. Today his message made Worldnet Daily.
Most believers have known for a long time that judgment will come upon this country.
I want to take a look at the setting.
The Setting
There have been a lot of judgments upon this country already. I believe that 9/11 was a turning point in many ways. For those believing this way, it was obvious that God sent something so severe as to get the attention of every single person, something so terrible that it shook the entire nation. A symbol of America’s wealth came tumbling down in ashes, taking the lives of 3,000 people with it.
America didn’t respond. Oh, people flocked to churches for a couple months; but it was like society discussing a new movie making big news for awhile, then moving on to talk about other things. It did not change the hearts of America as a whole. Evil since then has only increased exponentially.
He sent Katrina, and did it in such a way that there could be no doubt that God was expressing his anger at America’s pressure upon Israel to cede her God-given covenant land to her enemies. Katrina hit just as the last Jewish person was being carried out of Gaza, the result of American pressure upon Israel. The timing was astounding. God was speaking again, but few were listening, except the people who are already in the Kingdom. The American people laughed at us who pointed out the incredible timing. We were scorned for daring to say that Katrina was the direct response from heaven, hitting America on the very day the last Jews were forcibly carried out of their homes.
Then came a multitude of fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, many of which were reported to be “record-breaking.” Damages in the billions of dollars, coast to coast.
Yet since then, multitudes of babies have been murdered. Homosexuals parade in the streets. It’s not just murder and sodomy, it’s ripening degeneracy in general. Rich and powerful men being found out, being exposed as the degenerates they are. Truly, truly, this has become a society in which all that is good is called evil, and all that is evil is embraced under the banner of “tolerance.”
"The Change"
Then along comes a man who wants to bring “change” to America. Change from WHAT? From what George Bush did in response to those 3,000 people murdered in New York? Change from the stands he took against embryonic stem cell research? Change from his standing for marriage being defined as one man joined to one woman? Funny how that word “change” never got defined. It didn’t get defined because it would have been hard to come out and say now’s the time to murder in total freedom, to play with genetics, to sodomize whomever one desires and not lose one’s rights to be homosexual elementary school teachers teaching our children that two daddies or two mommies is “normal.”
Many of us have been putting out warning after warning after warning over the years in response to these things, and have SO felt like Noah must have felt as he built that boat, all the while preaching to the people all around him. Every single person outside of his own family who ever heard that man preach, rejected him. Can you imagine the frustration he must have felt? The whole world was against him. Literally. For speaking the truth. We know the rest of the story.
The Big Picture
Let’s step back and take a look at the big picture of American society in this generation.
If you have eyes to see, you'll see a progressive program of intensified evil starting perhaps in the ‘60’s with Madalyn Murray O’Hair. Then came the women’s movement, no more women being women or men being men, let’s just muddy that whole distinction. Then came the “free love” hippies drug culture unleashing unprecedented destruction of youth through mind-altering drugs. Then came the rise of public displays of sodomy in every place in our society, not even stopping at inflicting themselves on our children. Our values have gone down the tubes one after another after another. I would never have believed I’d ever see the day when every single depiction of God, of Jesus, of prayer, of the 10 Commandments, and SO much more, is banned from America. But I've seen that day. We all have.
Scripture tells us that this is exactly the way the “last days” are going to be. See reference Scriptures at the bottom of this message.
The Last Days
Who could doubt that we are in those days?
One of the greatest “signs” Jesus gave of the last days being upon us is the restoration of the nation of Israel. What was said to be totally impossible just a hundred years ago, has happened in the restoration of the Jews to the land of their fathers. Israel, born in a day. In the exact place where it left off.
We look at the alignment of the nations. The very alliances we see in our daily news media are the alliances foretold THOUSANDS of years ago by the prophets. The very nations mentioned in the last-days events are, as we speak, aligned just as they were foretold. Russia, Iran, China, the European confederation, and so on.
What’s missing from the picture?
There’s nothing missing of the “signs” Scripture tells us will indicate the last days. If we connect the dots, the picture is clear. To those who have the eyes to see it.
“The Change” That Will change the Era
And now, the elections of 2008. America has been made ready for “The Change.” A man quickly arises to power, seemingly out of nowhere, a man of Muslim descent, without the ability to prove he’s even an American citizen, who’s spoken openly about his heart towards Islam, who we know was produced by the likes of Jeremiah Wright, who OPENLY speaks of allowing infant murder even after a live birth, who is pro-sodomy, who makes his first official telephone call to the arch-enemy of Israel, and SO much more... and America doesn’t see the whole picture? They swoon at his feet, some calling him the Messiah, others calling him the President of the World...
This train can’t be stopped. I believe America has finally stepped over the line to the place of no return. We’ve had several severe warnings, but America has banished God from society and from their minds, so how on earth are they going to “get it?”
I receive the message David Wilkerson brought. Had he never brought it, most believers have expected something like what he describes anyway.
My conclusion is that we may be facing a time of unprecedented calamity, the very wrath of God upon a God-rejecting society; but also unprecedented opportunity to persuade those who haven’t yet become hardened beyond remedy.
The time is short.
Be prepared.

...God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, (hmm ...ashes!)condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly...

Hillary's Costly Trip To Israel
Here we go again.
For those of you who are familiar with the phenomenon concerning judgment on America within 48 hours of America coercing Israel to give up more of her God-given land.....
As America's Secretary of State begins her visit to the Middle East, America is pummelled with a severe blizzard that so far has cost 4 people their lives and that has landed damage in the thousands of dollars upon states from Alabama up to the northeast.
Here are just some of the stats:
4 dead
The blizzard-like snow, sleet, freezing rain and wind gusts of up to 30 mph in Massachusetts, Rhode Island contributed to four deaths on roads in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and on New York's Long Island.
Churches closed in Alabama
-because of snow?!!!
Flights cancelled
100 flights cancelled in Boston alone
100's cancelled in New York
300 flights cancelled in New Jersey
Buses cancelled
Greyhound and Peter Pan bus lines cancelled trips affecting travelers in and out of New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New Jersey.
Code Blue in Philadelphia
Philadelphia declared a Code Blue weather emergency, briniging in homeless people to shelters because the weather conditions pose a threat of serious harm or death.
Costs to New Jersey
...in the millions
No electricity
100,000 lose electricity in North Carolina
74, 000 lose power in South Carolina
123,000 lose power in Virginia
So Hillary's visit to Israel today is costing the US in death, massive power outages, and thousands of travellers stranded with flight cancellations.
And she's only just started!
