David Wilkerson = The Lose

According to David Wilkerson, there is going to be an earth-shattering calamity soon (his words: about to happen.....I take this to mean soon). The holy spirit told him this and only him because god is just to busy to send out this calamity memo to everyone else. Ever notice that prophets, messiahs, and holy men in general get to have these secretive one on one conversations with god when they are alone with no one else to witness the event? If there is going to be riots, famine, looting and so on, why doesn't god bother to tell the rest of us? God is all powerful, why not email, text, or call us? God apparently is too busy doing whatever it is god does.

I'm not worried though. If you read David's warning below, you will notice an incredible lack of details for this impending doom. I guess god was in a rush, you know, had places to be and didn't have time to explain in detail what is going to happen. Or, David could just be making this stuff up. That way, when none of this happens, he can say something like, "God said it was going to happen soon. Soon is different for god than it is for us mere humans.". Or because he is sooooo vague with the details, almost any event can fit into what he is describing. Now, with little effort he can say. "Look, all of this happened as the holy spirit said it would.".

Look, I don't know if god exists or not. But I know that if god does exist, he isn't talking to this guy.

I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to send out an urgent message to all on our mailing list, and to friends and to bishops we have met all over the world.

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 ten 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 we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.

There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting — including Times Square, New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God’s wrath. In Psalm 11 it is written,

“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (v. 3).

God is judging the raging sins of America and the nations. He is destroying the secular foundations.

The prophet Jeremiah pleaded with wicked Israel, “God is fashioning a calamity against you and devising a plan against you. Oh, turn back each of you from your evil way, and reform your ways and deeds. But they will say, It’s hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart” (Jeremiah 18:11–12).

In Psalm 11:6, David warns, “Upon the wicked he will rain snares (coals of fire)…fire…burning wind…will be the portion of their cup.” Why? David answered, “Because the Lord is righteous” (v. 7). This is a righteous judgment — just as in the judgments of Sodom and in Noah’s generation.

WHAT SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS DO? WHAT ABOUT GOD’S PEOPLE?

First, I give you a practical word I received for my own direction. If possible lay in store a thirty-day supply of non-perishable food, toiletries and other essentials. In major cities, grocery stores are emptied in an hour at the sign of an impending disaster.

As for our spiritual reaction, we have but two options. This is outlined in Psalm 11. We “flee like a bird to a mountain.” Or, as David says, “He fixed his eyes on the Lord on his throne in heaven — his eyes beholding, his eyelids testing the sons of men” (v. 4). “In the Lord I take refuge” (v. 1).

I will say to my soul: No need to run…no need to hide. This is God’s righteous work. I will behold our Lord on his throne, with his eye of tender, loving kindness watching over every step I take — trusting that he will deliver his people even through floods, fires, calamities, tests, trials of all kinds.

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.

God bless and keep you.

In Christ,
DAVID WILKERSON
