In 1973, Rev. David Wilkerson prophesied about a vision he
had seen. It was ominous. It was nearly a Jubilee timeframe ago.
Are these prophecies occurring in 2022-2023? You be the
judge.
Germany seems to be falling...
1. Worldwide economic recession that will effect the
lifestyle of every wage earner in the world. He said, “It’s going to start in
Germany, spread to Japan, and finally to the United States. Large and trusted
corporations are going to bankrupt. Many churches are going to go into
bankruptcy.”
2. Nature having labor pains, supernatural signs that cannot
be explained by men, worldwide natural disasters, including major earthquakes
in the United States. He saw worldwide famine, especially in China, India and
Russia. He saw the world’s food supplies completely dwindled and millions
starving.
3. Flood of pornographic filth in America’s media broadcasts
and print that will be like it was in the days of Lot, vexing the souls of
God’s most devout saints.
4. Rebellion in the homes with children hating their
parents. A man’s worst enemies will be those in his own household.
5. Persecution madness against truly spirit-filled
Christians who love Jesus Christ.
Economic Crash Coming
There is worldwide economic confusion just ahead. In my
vision this is the clearest thing I have seen. Not only is the American Dollar
headed for deep trouble, but so are all other world currencies. I see total
economic confusion striking Europe first and then affecting Japan, the United
States, Canada and all other nations shortly thereafter.
Everyone Will Be Affected
A recession of such magnitude that it will affect the
lifestyle of nearly every wage earner in America and around the world.
Owners of Western Currency in Trouble
Countries that now control huge amounts of Western currency
are going to be in very deep trouble also without a doubt, there are lean years
ahead full of monetary confusion and despair. How soon is not clear, but it is
not far away.
New World Monetary System
There will develop a call for revamping all world monetary
systems into one uniform system. And even though the dollar will appear to be
gaining strength just before the coming major recession, a new crisis will
develop that will shake the entire financial world.
Economists Confused
The world‘s greatest economists will be at a loss to explain
the confusion and an international crisis of fear will develop.
False Boom
A false economic boom will precede the recession but it will
be short lived.
A Few Good Years to Prepare
The next few years will be among the most prosperous in the
history of mankind. Sales will continue to break records and people will spend
more than ever in modern history.
Uncontrolled Credit Debt
Credit debt will become nearly uncontrollable. I see, very
clearly, just a few years of tremendous affluence and continued economic
prosperity. Inflation, costs and wages will spiral higher and higher.
Gold Will Not Provide Security
The price of gold is going to rise astronomically but it
will not be sustained over a long period of time neither silver nor gold will
offer real security. Gold hoarders are going to get hurt badly. This is one of
the most significant predictions in this book.
Suicide by Overdose
Economic setbacks and confusion will catch many unprepared
for the consequences. Suicide will follow. Some very well-known people in the
business world are going to commit suicide through overdoses of narcotics.
Confusion for the Positive Thinking Preachers
Great losses, confusion, and reverses will shatter the
thinking processes of many well meaning people who falsely believe that their
successes and economic well-being are the result of their own positive
thinking. Jesus Christ Himself was an advocate of right thinking. But many good
men have become worshippers of the power of the mind.
The United States to Be Blamed
Although economic actions in Europe will trigger the coming
recession, the United States will be blamed by most nations for what happens.
France will become one of the most vicious anti-American nations in the world.
Politicians and businessmen in Europe and Japan will place the blame on
Washington and the American bankers.
Recovery From Recession
There may be a full recovery but the world economy will
continue in confusion until the time of the Antichrist. There will come a time
in the future when men will be obsessed with buying, selling, planting,
marrying, and divorcing but it will be a time of false prosperity
Outbreaks of Epidemics
In the aftermath of famine, floods and earthquakes, mankind
faces the threat of new epidemics. There will a major cholera epidemic sweeping
through various underdeveloped countries. India and Pakistan face the threat of
untold thousands dying from epidemic and starvation.
Famine
Famine is coming to the world in our generation and millions
will die of starvation.
Depletion of Relief Funds
Relief and disaster funds will become nearly depleted.
Insurance companies will face huge losses.
Triple-X-Rated Movies on TV After Midnight
Be warned. In the not-too-distant future, the most wicked,
X-rated porno movies will be shown on select cable networks after midnight.
People will pay to have these erotic movies piped directly into their living
rooms. If left unguarded, little children can switch on a knob and be exposed
to the vilest kind of sexual perversion. R-rated movies will be showing in
prime time on network television. Porno movies on cable television will become
so popular and so much in demand that the major networks will try to compete by
showing films with as much sex and violence as they can show within legal
limits.
Sex Education to Get In on the Act
Students will be told that homosexual love is normal and
that sex acts between unmarried is desirable if each has a high regard for the
other.
A Homosexual Epidemic
When society no longer rejects their sin as abnormal and
fully accepts them and encourages them in their abnormality, and when the
church no longer preaches against it as sin and consoles them in their sexual
activities there no longer exist any hindering forces. The floodgates are open,
and homosexuals are encouraged to continue in their sin. In my vision, I have
seen these two roadblocks being swept away. You can expect more than one
homosexual scandal in very high places. The homosexual community will become so
militant and brazen that they will flaunt their sin on network talk shows very
shortly.
A Falling Away
Moral standards among many church people will be shattered.
Husband - and wife-swapping will be on the increase, and great numbers of young
people will simply live together without getting married. A constant barrage of
sex and nudity by all the media will vex the minds and souls of the most devout
children of Christ. It will cause the love of many to grow cold. It will lead
to carelessness and faithlessness. It will be the major cause of a great
falling away. Those who stand against this flood of filth will be few, and they
will be looked upon as out of step with an enlightened society and a more relevant
church. Easy abortion, the pill, and agrowing sexual permissiveness will
contribute to a revolution of immorality.
A Last-Ditch Attempt to Deceive God‘s Chosen
The number one temptation for the last Christian will be
prosperity. I see millions of Christians being deceived by prosperity. The last
Christian is going to be afflicted by prosperity and tested by it more than
through poverty. I see automobiles, clothes, motorcycles, and all kinds of
materialism becoming a bigger hindrance to the Christian than drugs, sex, or
alcohol. I see thousands of Christians attached to and obsessed by
things.
An Increase of False Doctrines
Men will prefer false doctrines and new ideas rather than
the truth of God‘s Holy Word. They will crowd around teachers who will give new
thoughts and revelations. Men and women will turn to the prophecies and
teachings of men rather than giving heed to the doctrines of truth. They will
give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. “I hate my parents” The
number one problem in the future will be hatred of parents. The world is soon
going to be shocked by thousands upon thousands of teenagers who confess, “I
hate my parents.”
Sex Drug
I believe a new sex drug will be concocted and distributed
by the black market to teenagers and students. It will break down moral
restraint and lead thousands of teenagers into promiscuous sex activity.
A Spirit of Persecution Is Coming
I see an hour of persecution coming such as mankind has
never before witnessed. An antichrist spirit will enter the hearts of certain
men in high places, in government, and in the judicial system, causing these
officials to engage in legal maneuvers designed to harass independent churches,
missionaries, and ministers. There is already much evidence that this
harassment has now started. I see a time coming when nearly all evangelical
missionary projects, all religious radio and TV programming, and all incorporated
missionary societies will be so closely monitored, questioned, and badgered
that they will be cautious of expanding in any area
The rise of a Super World Church
I see the formation of a super world church consisting of a
union between liberal ecumenical Protestants and the Roman Catholic church
joining politically hand in hand, creating one of the most powerful religious
forces on earth.
Persecution From Hollywood
Look for Hollywood to step up its attack against true
religion with more expos-type movies. More and more moviemakers will attempt to
debunk puritanical moral values. Gospel preaching churches and ministers will
come under special attack, while at the same time the occult and witchcraft
will be glorified and sensationalized. TV comedy shows will become bolder and
bolder in poking fun at Christ and true Christians.
The rise of a Supernatural Church
I see a great and supernatural union of all the true
followers of Jesus Christ, bound together through the Holy Spirit and mutual
confidence in Christ and His Word.
Persecution Through Taxation of Churches
There is coming an attempt to tax churches and
church-related organizations. Atheistic forces, with the help of the American
Civil Liberties Union, will push this matter all the way to the Supreme Court.
A temporary setback will not stop them from pushing forCongressional action. A
legal setback by the courts will not stop their long-range action.
Church-related businesses will be taxed first. The IRS may, one day, become one
of the most powerful weapons against the church.
Satan Ministers
There will be Satan evangelists, mostly young people who
will actually preach about the power of Satan and who will zealously work at
making converts. Ouija boards, tarot cards, horoscopes, and occult books will
be passed around and devoured by young people seeking truth.
Killer Diseases
Jesus said that in these days of tribulation, Men‘s hearts
will fail them for fear of watching what is happening upon the earth. In
America, the number one killer disease is already heart failure. Medical
authorities say venereal disease is no longer just an epidemic it is an
uncontrollable pandemic of frightening proportions. Scientists warn of new
strains of germs, viruses, and vermin that are resistant to poisons and
chemicals and threaten to upset the balance of nature.
Burning Oil Fields
Before the great holocaust, there will be smaller
holocausts. The oil fields of the Middle East will be ablaze, and the smoke
will rise night and day as a warning of the greater holocaust yet to come.
There will be bombs falling on oil fields, shipping docks and storage tanks.
Governmental Bankruptcy
New York City faces economic and social disaster. The sword
of judgment hanging over the city will fall suddenly. Overnight, changes will
happen, changes never before known to the American mind. Bankruptcy will
happen. A temporary reprieve will falter. Short-range encouraging signs will be
swallowed up in lightning-like events that will bring on bankruptcy. America‘s
queen city will declare bankruptcy.
Rising Unemployment
What God did to the city of Jerusalem in the time of the
prophet Zechariah, he will do again to the cities of America. When building the
temple, the inhabitants were reminded what God did when judgment was upon them:
There were no jobs, no wages, no security and crime was rampant. (Zechariah
8:10).
Shalom!
