What is to Come...a Prophetic Word about the Future and how to prepare

I have hesitated to publish what is going to happen. It's been one of those things that reads, "No News is Good News". Yet as a watchman...I must.

This is a powerful optimistic view for the child of God. For the unbeliever and those addicted to the world system, this will be horror.

Fear is everywhere. People are wondering what is going to happen. The economy. Riots. Lawlessness. Anger. Division. It is beyond understanding and disturbing.

God's hand is on his people. He is allowing these things to come to pass, most of it the result of sin, greed, fear and prejudice. He is allowing the exhaustion of these things so people will become fully disenchanted with world system and be drawn to Jesus. This will usher in the greatest revival ever seen on the earth. Holy Spirit will be poured out greater than has ever been. The glory of the latter house will be much much greater than the former. Haggai 2:9

Father will manifest the curse on those who trust in man. Jeremiah 17:5

Those who trust in government, jobs, money, religion, education, position or anything other than the Lord God will find themselves high and dry on the hidden rocks in the harbor.
Psalm 20:7

In the near Future...how soon I don't know, but this WILL happen. As any prophet, I can tell you what, I just can't tell you when.

There is a coming day:
Governments will run out of money and people will lose faith in their leaders. General rebellion will follow. Infrastructure will begin to fail. One day you will go to turn on your lights and there will be no electricity. You will try to use your credit cards and nothing will happen. Your ATM card won't work. Gasoline will be expensive, short and then non existent. Staying warm in winter and cool in summer will be a daily quest. No Internet. No phone except perhaps cell phone sporadically. Radio and TV will be marginal if at all. Much of this happens when your money ceases to have any value. There will be no government help. All the systems will shut down. Police will not respond any more. Schools and churches close. If you get a government check.. it will stop. Collapse.

Your world will suddenly be the world you can walk to. Within perhaps twenty minutes of where you live right now.

This won't be a permanent condition. It will last several months. Maybe a few years.

During the collapse everything you thought you could depend on will be gone. Your car would run if you could find gasoline..but you can't. Even if you could, your money is no longer of any value. Commerce stops.

You will not be alone. All the people in your neighborhood we be experiencing the same thing. Many will be in fear. They will need to know things are going to be alright.

Some of that fear is well founded. There will be riots. There will be looting. There will be lawlessness released. This will be global. There will be wars. Retribution. No one will come to rescue us. It will be collapse. Every nation will experience this together. No safe place to hide.

Some third world countries will not suffer much because they are not connected to the world system as much as first world countries are. Some very rural areas in the USA will go thru this without as much pain as the cities. Urban areas will be the worst. If you have ever traveled to very rural areas in Mexico or South America you have a glimpse of what it will be like. Few services, sporadic electric service, telephone by cell but only occasionally. Hand to mouth existence. Argentina went thru several years ago. Think about what happened during the hard years in Argentina. It will happen here.

Some very wealthy will go thru this more easily at the beginning. Yet..their money will fail as well and when the reality is met they will find themselves in the same situation. They will need help.

IF you are a Christian and you are prepared for this it will be a day of great opportunity. If you are not prepared you will find yourself weeping wailing and gnashing of your teeth with the world.

If you are prepared you will partner with God to usher in the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit ever seen on the earth. If not you will live in fear.

In your circle of the twenty minute walk will be people in terror. People who will need a calming word. You will have that. You will be able to say God is on the Throne. He means to do us good.
People will quickly repent of their sin and turn to Christ.

There will be people who will be sick, you will go lay hands on them, call on the name of Jesus and they will be healed. By this many will come to faith in Jesus. There will be some that will die. You will be able to counsel then and help bury their loved ones. People will have mental problems and you will speak words of deliverance. Someone will be injured and when you bandage them the supernatural will enter in. Withered hands will grow back. In this time most churches will close up. There are no automobiles to go anywhere because there is no gasoline. Perhaps a bicycle might take a person a few miles. But most people will walk. So as the neighborhood representative of the Most High God you will become all the church that neighborhood will have. Some children will need education. Schools will not operate. No money. No teachers. No electricity. So in your neighborhood you will help organize the education of the children. The word of God will once again take center stage as a text book.

Think of all the things you do now. All that will be local. Neighborhood. Entertainment will be get togethers. News will be word of mouth, perhaps a hand delivered letter, maybe a radio broadcast from time to time picked up on your hand cranked radio.

There will be attempts by evil men to take advantage of the collapse. They are always there. There will be attempts to control. One world government. One world currency. That too will fail. People's faith in all things governmental will eventually cause government to become more and more local. They will learn dependence on the true source of all things.

This will be the ultimate seven mountain strategy. All the mountains will be occupied by those with Kingdom Authority. It's just that because they are on a very local twenty minute circle, they will be be brought low. They will be occupied with righteousness.

Isaiah Declared and John the Baptist declared and I declare to you:
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.
5 Every valley shall be filled in,
every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
the rough ways smooth.
6 And all people will see God’s salvation.’”

Luke 3:4-6

There will be wars. Evil men will take advantage of this. Many cities at the core will be looted and burned to the ground. Many will die. The exhaustion of the state will result. God will manifest himself and people will see with their own eyes as the culture collapses.

In these times as fear grows, people will need salvation. They will be more ready than ever in history to hear the GOOD NEWS. You will have it. There will be no churches to go to. The only Bible they will have is what you have, and mostly what you are carrying in your person today.

Be prepared to take the seven mountains that will have been brought very low in your circle of influence.

Jesus said,
Matthew 5:
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
You are the only plan God has in this time. This speaks to this time. He is depending on those prepared for this time.

Having gold and silver will not work. It will soon fail as a medium of exchange. At some point people will give up on it's value. Isaiah saw this day in Chapter 2:
17 The arrogance of man will be brought low
and human pride humbled;
the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
18 and the idols will totally disappear.

19 People will flee to caves in the rocks
and to holes in the ground
from the fearful presence of the LORD
and the splendor of his majesty,
when he rises to shake the earth.
20 In that day people will throw away
to the moles and bats
their idols of silver and idols of gold,
which they made to worship.
21 They will flee to caverns in the rocks
and to the overhanging crags
from the fearful presence of the LORD
and the splendor of his majesty,
when he rises to shake the earth.

22 Stop trusting in mere humans,
who have but a breath in their nostrils.
Why hold them in esteem?

This day that is coming is not wrath. There will be such a day. This is some less, it is judgment on the sin of man that trusts anything or anyone other than the living God. It is for a purpose. It is to usher in a better day. The Kingdom of God.

After the collapse with be some attempts at trying to restore the old order. It will fail. People will have lost faith in the old mountains. In the old institutions. There will have been a great move of God on the earth and people's dependence will have been changed. People will begin to understand the secrets of Provision and Protection. Much will be supernatural. Those in your circle of influence will see how God manifests himself in your life and want to know how and why.

Churches will return someday, but they will be different from what we see on the earth today. They will revolve around community. As people begin to be able to drive again, there will be a new recognition of the importance of being light to your neighbors. To be connected. Without much central government there will be a need to support one another. All things in common will become common.

Things will have changed and they will never go back again.

The Holy Spirit living in you will place you to rule and reign with Christ on the earth.

The time frame on this is long, but it is inexorable. It will happen. How long? I have a sense in the Spirit that it will be well into 2020's before you begin to see life stabilize, except it will never as you have known it. It will be better but different.

Some of the vision came from Ron McKenzie, as he wrote of these days. I was quickened in my Spirit. I had written about times "after the collapse" before he began to write of these days but was missing a part. The emphasis on community was solidified as I reflected on this in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is revealing to his people what is to come, how to be ready and what to be ready for.

The secret to Provision and Protection in these times will require that people be walking in the fullness of righteousness. Righteousness is always equated at some level with generosity in the Word of God. The lack of righteousness (generosity) is greed, hoarding, stinginess and avarice. It manifests itself as a spirit of poverty.

The spirit of poverty infects wealthy as well as the poor. The poor manifest the spirit of poverty more quickly. It becomes more obvious. Unrighteousness is it's own negative reward. The spirit that we identify as greed and stinginess in the wealthy is the spirit of poverty. It's the same spirit that drives the poor to depend on others, grasp for handouts, look to government to supply all their needs. It's a spirit of poverty; Exactly the same spirit. Dependence on anything other than the living God is the spirit of poverty.

Those who go into these days infected with the spirit of poverty will find themselves in great pain and suffering as the days go on. They may emerge victorious, but only after painful withdrawal symptoms. It would be much better to fill your lamp with Holy Ghost revelation of the secret of Provision and Protection today and walk into those days of the visitation of the Bridegroom with His bride equipped and prepared. She is not yet.

One last thing, this will be a time of trouble, trouble like the world has never seen before. It will be very tough. There will be a great war in all this.

Many are depending on a soon coming rapture to escape this. There is no rapture.

Many thought that the fullness of the Kingdom of God was already on the earth. It's not yet. That fullness, that reign will happen after the time of trouble.

Many have thought Jesus was going to move to Jerusalem to sit in some office or on some throne and people would make pilgrimage there. Some have even said He would even have a TV channel (I heard someone speculate this). Nope. He isn't. We will rule and reign in the Kingdom by the Holy Spirit in us, in that way we will rule and reign with Christ on the earth.

Some have taught that Jesus already came in an early Parosia 70AD. Yet his address and phone number is missing. YES, He is here, He always was. He promised never to ever leave or forsake us and He doesn't. But not in the way some have taught. There will be a Parosia..but it will happen another way. That is another topic for later.

A book is coming out by Christmas on all this. IF we are to have victory we must not depend on some escapist eschatology or some not yet kingdom we imagine is already here.

There is a road ahead. A highway of holiness. A marvelous destination. Better than you can imagine. There are bumps on the road to reach that day. I have outlined some of them.

You were chosen to be alive in this time. You might have been born a hundred years ago or a hundred years from now. But you were placed here and now reading this for such a time as this. This is a call on YOU to be ready. This is the most glorious time to be alive ever in time. This will be magnificent and you were called to be a part. Stand up and be ready. It's time.

Even so.

COME LORD JESUS.

Bless you Gene for these words. It was a confirmation of the sense of urgency I felt the Holy Spirit moving me, to unite more often with my brothers, pray, and prepare my family and neighbors as the time is short and the darkness approaches.

Jesus is all,
Todd

Gene, interesting that you mention that there is no rapture. Got me thinking about some of these big name TV ministers who arrogantly tout their pre-trib rapture theology, and they have their big charts on stage to prove it!

I've always wondered what they are going to say to their congregations if they turn out to be wrong. Are they going to 'drop off the radar' like Camping did? Your thoughts?

Ron McK said...

This is a good word. Very clear. Gene
You balance warning with hope well.

I sense it will take longer than many expect, but though it tarries, it will still come.

For those who want to prepare, some guidance can be found at Preparing for Economic Crisis and Preparing for Social Collapse.
Blessings
Ron

Sincerely I don't know how to take all that you have posted. I have to weight it in my spirit.

I'm not a survivalist but I do stock some food as disaster-planning. Last year I bought a hand-held water purifier from ebay. After that, the Lord impressed upon me to get a second one. I wasn't sure why but I did buy another one. The answer I got was that the second one was for the local church. I envision in those dire days you speak of, the two churches nearby will act as community centres, and the purifiers will be able to help water purification for many in the community. I envision that many will share food and water, warmth and shelter (in winter) and companionship. This happened in the famous ice storm in Montreal in the 1990's. God will help us and we will help others. God can always bring good out of evil...
