488. An Urgent Message

By David Wilkerson

March 23, 2009

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 '97 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 '97 such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.

There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting '97 including Times Square, New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God'92s wrath. In Psa_11:1-7 it is written,

'93If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?'94 (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, '93God 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'92s hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart'94 (Jer_18:11-12).

In Psa_11:6, David warns, '93Upon the wicked he will rain snares (coals of fire)'85fire'85burning wind'85will be the portion of their cup.'94 Why? David answered, '93Because the Lord is righteous'94 (v. 7). This is a righteous judgment '97 just as in the judgments of Sodom and in Noah'92s generation.

WHAT SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS DO? WHAT ABOUT GOD'92S PEOPLE?

First, I give you a practical word I received for my own direction. Lay in store a thirty-day supply of 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 Psa_11:1-7. We '93flee like a bird to a mountain.'94 Or, as David says, '93He fixed his eyes on the Lord on his throne in heaven '97 his eyes beholding, his eyelids testing the sons of men'94 (v. 4). '93In the Lord I take refuge'94 (v. 1).

I will say to my soul: No need to run'85no need to hide. This is God'92s righteous work. I will behold our Lord on his throne, with his eye of tender, loving kindness watching over every step I take '97 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
