This is a word from God written in the format of a story.
The characters are fictional,
but what shall happen in America’s future is not.
Please seek God about this document and about the
messages that are presented in it. God will reveal the truth to you.
America is in for some very interesting times in the years ahead.
This is a word from God that is framed in a story
format. Wherever a quote is attributed to God, it truly is a word from God. (Please
seek God about this if you are wondering.) The characters taking part in the
story are fictional, but the nature of the story is very realistic according to
prophecies God has given in recent times. These prophecies do not hold the same
weight as the Bible itself, but the Spirit of God reveals truth through the
Holy Bible to those who seek Him.
Though things contained in this story / word of
God are strange sounding, they are very realistic and true. Prophecies never
make sense to the carnal mind because the carnal mind is at war with God, as
Romans chapter 8 says. Take the book of Revelation, for instance. The beginning
of the book of Revelation says:
[Revelation 1:1-3]
“[1] The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew
unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and
signified it by his angel unto his servant John: [2] Who bare record of the
word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he
saw. [3] Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this
prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at
hand.”
And, yet, the prophecies contained in the holy
book of Revelation don’t make sense to the carnal mind. Romans 8:5-7 says:
[Romans 8:5-7]
“[5] For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the
flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. [6] For to
be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [7]
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law
of God, neither indeed can be.”
As you read, please consider that these events
described are not speculative, purely imaginative, or entirely fictional. And,
please consider that the words attributed to God are indeed God’s words. Seek
God about this and He will show you the truth.
God bless.

Chapter 1
Judgment
Washington D.C., America. 2034 A.D.
[Note: All the dates and years in this story / documentary / message from God are fictional. The timing
of these events could be much sooner than 2034 A.D.]
A missile rushed through the atmosphere three
thousand miles above the continent of North America. The conical warhead
section broke off from its cylindrical body once the missile had begun to
descend toward the land thousands of miles below it. Zooming down toward the
earth, the heat-resistant projectile began to glow cherry red as it rushed
through the earth’s upper atmosphere.
In less than three minutes, the hypersonic
warhead screamed through the atmosphere and came to an altitude of 300 feet
above the city of Washington D.C., the capital city of America. In a
blinding flash of light, the nuclear warhead exploded before it had dropped to
290 feet in altitude. A powerful concussion wave, blinding light, and intense,
radioactive heat struck the skyscrapers, government buildings, and businesses
in the heart of the city, turning them into charred rubble and ashes, almost in
an instant.
The core of the city was reduced to ruins in less
than five seconds after the blast. Just as hot ashes were rising up into the
air with the convections currents that followed the nuclear blast, a second and
then a third nuclear warhead detonated, creating fireballs of light brighter
than 5,000 suns. The afternoon summer sunlight became dim by comparison.
As the nuclear warheads detonated over the city,
the entire town was turned to piles of broken concrete, charred splinters,
droplets of melted glass, twisted pieces of steel, and mangled cars. Everything
that once spoke of opulence and glory lay in ruins, and the glorious city of Washington
D.C. was no more.
America’s air force bases, army bases, and naval
installations had been struck minutes before the capital of the vast country
had been obliterated and wiped off the face of the earth by powerful hypersonic
weapons.
Matthew’s House. America. 2031 A.D.
The violence had spread to every city, making it
unsafe to go out once the sun had begun to set. Gangs repeatedly killed, stole,
and destroyed property among other crimes. The live in the cities and towns was
very hard for a Christian. Laws had been passed banning Christians from
evangelizing. Other laws had come into force, making it illegal for pastors to
refuse to preach in favor of homosexuality. They were forced to speak in favor
of it. If they didn’t comply, they would be arrested, and their congregations
would be forced to accept a government-appointed “pastor” who would preach in
favor of homosexuality, “trans-gender” lifestyles, and other ungodly
lifestyles.
Walking down a narrow path through the forest,
Matthew looked at the pines swaying in the breeze and spoke to God in a
personal way.
“Abba Father God,” Matthew said, “how did
it come to this? How did America go from not accepting homosexuality to
embracing it and promoting it from the pulpits of false pastors?”
[Note: The following quotes attributed to God are
actually words from God. Seek God about this if you wonder.]
“My son,” God’s gentle voice said
quietly, “I am with you. I love you very much. What I will tell you is this.
America has become very evil indeed, and this happened due to all her sins from
the past few hundred years. America broke its promises to the Indians or Native
Americans, and took their land from them little by little. Over the years,
America went from giving Me a form of reverence to outright rejecting My laws,
removing My commandments, and forsaking the reading of My Word, the Bible.
After a time, America cast out all that remained of decency and godliness.
“Women began to show off their bodies in public.
Men began to promote sodomy or homosexuality, as it is called, and they began
to corrupt themselves more and more. Then, the homosexuals began to become more
militant and forced people to accept their evil manner of living to the point
where laws were passed through congress and made nationwide the law of the
land. These laws forced pastors to preach in favor of sodomy or homosexuality,
against what My Words says is right.
“For, I say in My Word, the Bible, that those who
do with men what men do with their wives are committing a great sin. Men going
into a bed together and living in such a state of immorality is worse than
fornication between a man and a woman. And, promoting it to others is even
worse than doing it in secret, for it affects the whole culture. Fornication
between a man and a woman is very evil. But, sodomy or homosexuality is even
worse still, for I never created men to marry men, or women to marry women.
That is an abomination to Me. Those who commit such unrighteous acts shall
surely perish in Hell if they refuse to repent. But, I will warn them and plead
with them to repent, out of My mercy and compassion.
“But, if they refuse to repent, I would not be just to let them continue in
their wickedness. Surely, they will have to be judged with destruction and
fire. That is correct, My son.”
Matthew said, “Father God,
why did the sodomites get to do this in America? What brought them out of the
closets?”
“My son,” God’s kind voice said, “the
sodomites saw that America had embraced the bikini, which is really a modified
pair of underwear. Since America embraced immorality in their beaches and
parks, sodomites became emboldened to promote their immorality to America. And,
America also embraced the murder of innocent people -- the killing of babies in
the womb. Millions of Americans have been murdered since the inception of
legalized abortion.
“Due to these ungodly things, sodomy has become
accepted by the vast majority of Americans, who have already accepted the
bikini and the murder of babies. Due to this, America has become even more
depraved. Children can now marry adults in sodomite and sexual unions if the
children have the consent of their parents and are at least as old as age 12, the
age of puberty for girls. This abomination took place under the reign of Obama
who came back into power after Donald Trump was removed from power in a coup.
“Obama came back into power through a coup in
order to turn up the heat on Christians and in order to promote his wicked
agendas to America. He promoted gay “marriages,” sodomy, “trans-gender”
lifestyles, the “marriage” of boys and girls to sodomites, the promotion of “marriage”
to animals, and other wicked and vile things.
“When a nation gets evil, it never stops in its
evil doings or perversions. It just gets worse. Now, wearing clothing is
optional in public. Now, going to government centers for food distribution is
required for people to survive under the severe food shortages, famines, and economic
problems sweeping through America. Now, hunger is bringing some people to turn
back to Me, and repent, and seek Me during this terrible time for America.
“America has become full of evil and abominable
idolatries, fornications, thefts, murders, witchcrafts, and all kinds of
abominations. It is like a cage full of every unclean and hateful bird. It is a
trap full of devils and demons. It is a graveyard full of walking skeletons and
dead people who walk about pretending things will go on forever, but they shall
not. I shall judge this wicked land for all its abominations that take place
now and that took place in the past. I shall cut down America with a powerful
blow of My axe to its roots. Like John the Baptist said, the axe shall be laid
to the root of the tree, and it shall fall. It shall be cast into everlasting
fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Matthew, My son, because you have sought Me
fervently and wanted to know Me intimately, and have not placed your trust in
your works, I shall deliver you from Babylon. Follow Me, and go where I lead
you, and drive where I send you, and I will bless you, My son.”
“Where do you want Me to go?” Matthew asked,
breathing in.
“My son, do you believe I can do miracles?” God’s
voice said gently.
“Yes,” Matthew said. “You parted the Red Sea in
the Gulf of Aqaba. You fed the children of Israel with manna for 40 years. You
raised Lazarus to life when he had been dead for a few days. I believe you can
do anything, Father God.”
“Then,” God said to him, “will you believe Me to
translate you from your house out in the country over to a wilderness area
where I have prepared an ‘ark’ for your family?”
Matthew said, “Like you translated Philip from
the Ethiopian eunuch after Philip had baptized him in the book of Acts?” [See Acts
8:36-40.]
“That is right, My son,” God said.
“I believe you can do that.”
“Do you believe I will do that?” God’s voice
said.
Matthew paused for a moment to think about the
ramifications of that question. Then, he said, “Yes, I believe you will do that
if that is your will. It seems you want to do that.”
God said, “Get your
wife and your friends together in the basement of your house and have a prayer
time. Seek Me and fast from food for that period of time as you seek Me. Have
water, but fast from food so you are not looking away from Me as you seek to
know Me better. You are not working for Me. You are just seeking
Me and preparing your hearts for being translated to a place of refuge in the
wilderness where I will provide for you like I did for the children of Israel
in the wilderness of Sinai, in the land of Arabia.”
“I’ll do that, Abba Father,” Matthew said.
Matthew’s Basement. America. 2031 A.D.
Matthew and Sarah Jeremiah and their friends --
Steven and Nancy Bartholomew, their teenagers; and David and Shelly
Springfield, and their older children -- were gathered in Matthew’s basement
for a prayer time. Matthew had informed them what God had recently told him
about translation. The Christians had been praying for a few hours as the Holy
Spirit guided them. The older children also prayed and joined in with the
adults in the worship, prayer, and Bible reading.
A fervent Spirit of intercession, prayer, and
love for God was upon the group. Each soul felt a deep desire to know God more
intimately, to fellowship with God, and grow in the grace and knowledge of
Jesus Christ, the Savior of all who believe on Him whether Jew or Gentile.
As this time of worship was going on at Matthew’s
country home, six vans drove down the long, gravel driveway leading to the
house. They were unmarked, white panel vans. Inside two of the vans were two
teams made up of seven serial killers and hardened mercenaries whose jobs
included killing for hire, kidnapping, armed robbery, drug smuggling, and other
crimes. These same thugs had been hired by a private security company to kidnap
the Christians and sell them to the corrupt government that was running the
America of 2031.
The Coming of Scorpion Sting
[Note: The Scorpion Sting Organization is
a fictional crime organization. Though this gang is fictional, it is not
fictional that the government will hunt down Christians and arrest them for “breaking”
the law of the land. It will be illegal to meet together for “religious” purposes
outside of an established “church” building. But, established, so-called “churches”
will be so corrupt that they will promote sodomy and homosexuality due to Obama’s
future laws.]
The vans soon reached the three-story, tan house
which had a single-story guest house nearby and a detached garage with a
finished upstairs living space. A large lawn surrounded the house and merged
with a surrounding forest that covered the landscape. A few cars were parked
before the smallish mansion. Seeing them, the drivers of the white panel vans
pulled up behind the cars to block their escape.
Then, the side doors slid open and the two teams
of gangsters quietly came out. Each gangster wore nigh vision goggles and had
fully automatic machine pistols with multiple clips. With skill and precision,
they carefully crept toward the house and formed a perimeter around it to
ensure that no Christians escaped their trap.
Then, their main leader gave a command over their
radio headsets, and the teams moved into action. Half of the men remained
behind, hiding in the woods, while the rest moved toward the house and drew out
glass cutters. There was no need to waste time with doors. Making some cuts in
the glass windows, Mamba -- a wiry
gangster with a snake tattoo on his forehead and short, brown hair --
breached a window. He crawled through the window after carefully removing a
rectangular piece of glass.
Inside the house, Mamba drew his silenced uzi
machine pistol and cocked the weapon. He turned left and right, observing that
he was in a laundry room. A washing machine and a dryer were resting up against
the left wall. The gangster pushed open a white door at the other end of the
room and found himself in a red-carpeted hallway. He took the hallway slowly,
glancing every which way to make sure no one was hiding.
Right behind him came a second crook called Grizzly.
Grizzly was a big man weighing 270. Made of muscle and with a thirst for a
fight, the tough gangster could punch out anyone he encountered who threatened
him in any way. He was completely bald on his head, but he wore a black goatee
and mustache around his mouth.
As the two gangsters made their way down the
hall, Mamba noticed a door to the left. He slowly turned the door knob and
cracked it open. A set of stairs descended to the basement.
“Should we go this way?” Grizzly whispered loudly
from behind him.
“I want to see what is down here,” Mamba said.
The two hurried down the stairs, but tried to be
quiet as they went. Soon, they found themselves in a finished basement hallway.
The hallway lights were on, but the doors were shut all along the corridor. So,
the two gangsters flipped up their night vision goggles and carefully began
opening doors and peeking into the
rooms. After quietly opening and closing three doors, they came to a blue door
near the end of the hallway and noticed sound coming through it.
Mamba placed his ear up against the door and
listened. His accomplish looked on curiously.
“What do you hear?” Grizzly said. “Are there
people in there?”
“Shh,” Mamba said. “I’m trying to make out what
they are saying.”
“Let’s clean their clocks,” Grizzly said gruffly.
“Shh,” Mamba said, irritated.
“Praise Jesus!” a man said from within the room. “Praise
the One who saved us from our sins. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for giving us
life, salvation, and your Presence. We give you glory for all you have done.
And, we ask that you will prepare your Church for Heaven. Prepare your Bride
for seeing you in all your beauty when we reach Heaven. May we love you, honor
you, and serve you, desiring to know you deeper and deeper, dear Abba Father.”
“I will teach those Christians a lesson,” Mamba
said coldly as he grabbed the door handle.
The door swung open and slammed into a door stop,
and in came the two thugs. But, no people could be seen in the room. The lights
were on. Couches surrounded the perimeter of a large, windowless living area.
Shaded lamps sat on lamp stands about the room, but no people could be seen.
Depressions in the couches indicated they had been sat in recently. Plastic
cups filled with water were stationed about the room.
“Where did they all go?” Mamba said, shocked and
surprised to see no one.
“You were hearing things. Your on something, aren’t
you?” Grizzly said, pushing the shorter man with frustration. “Why don’t you
get smart, Mamba and use good judgment?”
Mamba wheeled around and pointed his gun at the
larger man.
“I do use good judgment,” he said angrily before
cussing at his accomplice.
“Hey,” Grizzly said, “I didn’t mean to hurt your
feelings.”
“Hurt my feeling?” Mamba said. “You’re treating
me as if I was a child.”
“Well, you are rather short and ugly,” Grizzly
said, grinning with a mocking look in his eyes.
“That is the last straw,” Mamba said before
pulling his trigger.
Upstairs in the Jeremiah House
The gangsters creeping through the small mansion
heard a slightly muffled rat-tat-tat sound of rapid gunfire
coming from beneath the floor. It was about as loud as a hammer pounding a nail
into a new board. Several gangsters rushed toward the opened basement door and
descended the stairs.
As they entered the basement hallway, they
flipped open their night-vision goggles and saw Mamba stepping through a door
near the end of the corridor. He was holding both his and Grizzly’s machine
pistols.
“What is going on here?” said Stingray, a
red-haired man with a big jaw as he approached Mamba.
With a cold look in his eyes, Mamba lied, saying:
“Grizzly showed his true loyalty. He drew his gun and pointed it toward me,
saying he was going to fight for the Christians. So, I used my gun in
self-defense.”
“Well, what happened to the Christians?” Stingray
said with concern.
“We had some bad intelligence,” Mamba lied again.
“We were told the Christians were still here, but they most likely had actually
left this place a couple days ago.”
“Why would they leave? Where do you think they
would go?” Stingray said, frowning as he studied Mamba’s face.
“Who knows?” Mamba said. “Perhaps they hid somewhere
in the woods. We can have our drones scour the woods with heat-sensitive
equipment. We’ll likely find them soon.”
“Why are you so quick to assume that no one is
hiding in this house?” Stingray said, narrowing his eyes as he studied Mamba’s
face. “Did you search the entire house, the guest house, and the garage?”
Feeling caught in his lie, Mamba said, “I heard a
voice coming through the door. I opened the door and found no one inside. But,
all the lights were on. Glasses of water were sitting on surfaces, half-full.
Someone was just here. Perhaps, they heard us coming and fled into the woods.”
“What if they have a secret compartment in this
house somewhere?” Stingray said. “We need to scour and search every nook and
cranny of this house with our wall-penetrating equipment.”
The Jeremiah House, a Day Later
“Sir, we didn’t see nothing,” Stingray said into
his smartphone. “We used the
wall-penetration equipment and found no secret compartments. We even sent
drones for several miles, searching for anyone hiding in the woods. They would
have spotted any warm bodies. All their vehicles are here and we have no reason
to believe they got a taxi. So, it seems someone must have given them a ride --
someone who we didn’t check into.”
The afternoon sun cast a shadow a the feet of
Stingray as he paced back and forth outside the Jeremiah house. He was talking
to his boss in Scorpion Sting, the criminal, bounty-hunting organization
he worked for.
“Well, I want you to make sure you have
thoroughly check the forest nearby,” Eagle Claw’s voice came through Stingray’s
phone speaker. “We cannot let anyone escape. A lot of money will be lost if we
do.”
The Wilderness of New Sylvania. 2031 A.D.
Just seconds before Mamba, the crook, had opened
the door to Matthew Jeremiah’s basement living room, Matthew and all his
friends had been miraculously translated or moved from America to a place in a
wilderness area far from America.
They and their children now stood, surprised, in a
forest clearing. A field of stars spread across the night sky overhead,
shimmering in the vastness of space. In the forest clearing rested a number of
two-story houses with yards, trees, and bushes. But, no modern street passed by
them. Instead, a cobblestone street passed through the residential section. Gas
lights on either side of the way illuminated the street and buildings, and the
buttery glow of gas or kerosene lanterns graced the windows of many of the
homes.
Behind the homes lay some taller buildings with
signs hanging above their main entrances. They appeared in the style of the
late 1800s, but were well-constructed and somewhat ornate.
As Matthew Jeremiah studied the settlement, he
realized it was actually the size of a small town. They were in one of its
residential neighborhoods.
A door suddenly hinged open in one of the nearby
houses, and a middle-aged man stepped out. He was dressed in clothing that
resembled the 1940s. He was holding what appeared to be a kerosene enclosed
lantern in his left hand.
“What are you folks doing here outside at this
time of night?” the man said, curious.
“We were having a prayer and praise time in my
house and found ourselves here all of a sudden,” Matthew said, still taking in
the sights.
“Well, you have just been translated,” said the
man standing on the porch as he walked over to some steps.
“We have been translated?” Sarah Jeremiah,
Matthew’s brunette wife, said with amazement.
“That is right,” the middle-aged man said with a
smile. “You are new arrivals to this establishment of God.”
“Where are we?” Matthew said.
“You are in a city or town of refuge in the
wilderness of New Sylvania,” the older man said as he approached the group. “And,
I am Samuel White.”
Matthew shook Samuel’s extended hand.
“This town is called ‘Joppa,’” Samuel said. “We
are always very happy to meet more Christians. God is preparing us for great
things. We expect this town to eventually grow to more than 800 thousand people
in the years to come. Right now, Joppa has about 2,000 people.”
“How did this place come about, and where are we
exactly?” Sarah said as she approached her husband and Samuel White.
“You are somewhere in the continent of North
America, in a wilderness area,” Samuel said. “From what God told me, this place
was constructed for the purpose of housing Christians who are deeply in love
with Jesus and who desire to know Him better. It is not for people who don’t
love Jesus that much or who seek to please themselves and who love the world.”
“How do people reach this city of refuge?” said
Steven Bartholomew, a man in Matthew’s group.
“Only God can bring them here,” Samuel said. “Christians
who are not ready for this location have to go through refining before their
hearts will be in tune with God enough to be ready for living here. Here there
is no internet, no TV, no electronic entertainment, no electricity, no worldly
amusements, no theme parks, etc. But, here we have deep communion with Jesus
Christ our Savior and Lord. Here, we have fellowship with other believers and
most of all with the Giver of Life, Jesus Christ and Abba Father God. Jesus
Christ alone is the giver of life, of joy, and of peace. His joy is the
fullness of joy, as Psalm 16:11 says.”
“What does that verse say?” Steven said.
With a smile, Samuel said, “Psalm 16:11 says, ‘[11] Thou wilt show me the path of life : in thy
presence is fulness of joy ; at thy right hand
there
are pleasures
for evermore.’ [End
quote.] You see, Jesus only gives fullness of joy through His Presence, which
dwells within a believer. Being focus only on Jesus for all we need, we are
full of light and full of joy. In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus said that when your
eye is single, you will be full of light.”
“But, what will become of the Christians who love
worldly things such as TV shows, movies, video games, and doing hobbies
excessively?” Sarah Jeremiah said, looking at Samuel.
“God will graciously call out to them,” Samuel
said. “If they don’t repent, He will send them trials to get their attention
and wake them up. But, God doesn’t do this out of a mean spirit. Rather, He
does it out of love. God is not willing that any of those for whom He sent
Jesus to die for should perish. If they won’t repent, God will keep calling out
to them, allowing the trials to get stronger.”
“Okay,” Sarah said. “That makes sense. We have
gone through trials, ourselves.”
“But, Mr. White, why do such places like this
exist?” said Jimmy Bartholomew, Steven’s 10-year-old son. His eyes were full of
wonder.
Samuel White looked at the young man with
kindness in his eyes. “This town, son, is a place for Christians who really
love Jesus to go to,” he replied. “It is not for Christians who are
worldly-minded. They have their plans, their goals, their hobbies, and Jesus
has become just another person in their lives. Because God doesn’t want these
people to perish, He will call out to them, and plead with them, and send
trials their way to wake them out of their spiritual apathy and sleep.”
“Why do Christians who really love Jesus go here?”
Jimmy said. “Why is it that Christians in other countries don’t get to go to
nice, safe places like this?”
“Son, they will certainly get to go to cities of
refuge like this,” Samuel White said, smiling. “God wants His people to be
delivered from harm, but God also knows that even people in countries such as
North Korea or Iran can be somewhat complacent in their walks with God, like we
all can.
“They can sometimes be self-reliant, independent
of God’s leading at times, somewhat proud, and doubtful. We all have been that
way. God has to allow difficulties to refine them, and us, and prepare them for
places like this. He wants all people to be able to go to cities of refuge, but
God also knows that not everyone would be happy here -- even Christians.
“Christians who have other things they look to
apart from God will not be happy here. For, this place is really just a
launching point and a base of operations for God’s Kingdom. Cities of refuge
are meant to be resting places for the Church. And, they can act as launching
points for God to send out missionaries to other parts of the world where the
Gospel has not been preached very much.
“So, the cities of refuge are meant to protect
Christians during these last days, and cities of refuge act as bases for
Christians to get training and preparation for being missionaries and
evangelists. These cities are not meant to be extra-stuffed sofas and places
for excessive leisure. They are comfortable enough, but they also have a degree
of discomfort. There is no electricity here, so we have to use firewood to cook
food with and to heat our homes with. We have a place for milking cows and
getting fresh milk. There are gardens for growing vegetables. We have no
automobiles or electric cars. Nonetheless, this place is safe from all harm. It
is a place for seeking God and knowing Him intimately, without the evil of the
world corrupting its residents.”
“Do you have outhouses and primitive wells?”
Sarah asked.
“No, we don’t,” Samuel said, shaking his head and
smiling. “But, we have indoor plumbing and flushing toilets, thanks to God and
His thoughtfulness. We also have ovens that use a firebox to heat up the oven
chamber for baking and such things.”
“What about clothes washing?” Sarah said.
“We have washing machines and dryers, similar to
the ones used today,” Samuel said. “But, these appliances don’t use
electricity. They use another method for handling washing and drying
operations.”
“If this place has no electricity, why should God
give us such appliances?” Sarah said, curious.
“I understand from God that electricity makes it
too easy for us,” Samuel said, “and we could get apathetic and lazy, but He
doesn’t want things to be too difficult either.”
“That makes sense,” Sarah said. “There is a lot
of idolatry in America. And, most of it involves electricity or devices powered
by electricity.”
Chapter 2
The Second Great Depression
Carpathia, America. 2026 A.D.
It was a hot summer day in the middle of the
month of August. The year was 2026, and 30-year-old Matthew Jeremiah walked
down a sidewalk heading toward the main street portion of Carpathia, his home
town. Beech trees shaded the sidewalk, at intervals, and provided him with some
respite from the hot sun.
As he walked, Matthew noticed small, camping
tents set up under some of the trees. Old coolers, empty bottles of beer, and
some garbage rested under many of the trees half a block down the way. A few
homeless people sat on camping chairs and talked among themselves as cars
passed by their temporary homes.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Ever since the 2008 recession, America had
suffered from economic problems, which grew worse and worse as time went on.
The recession had become a depression somewhere around the year 2021, five
years ago. With the depression in full swing, millions of Americans were out of
work, looking for any way of providing food for their families, but barely
scraping by on government handouts and charitable distributions.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
“Could you spare me some change, please?” a thin,
homeless man who was in his late thirties said with a sad look in his eyes. His
brown hair was greasy and longish, and a beard ran down his face. His aged
T-shirt looked like it had been worn for a whole week.
Matthew drew out his wallet and handed the man a
genuine 20 dollar bill along with a Gospel tract that was made to look like a
fictional million dollar bill. The homeless man thanked him as he took the
Gospel tract and money. Then, as the man looked at the tract, he swallowed.
“Do you realize that this is a religious tract?
This is illegal,” the homeless man said, looking up at Matthew with alarm in
his eyes. “You could get arrested for this.”
“I know, but keep it and read it,” Matthew said
calmly with a kind look in his eyes.
“Ever since Obama made witnessing illegal,” the
homeless man said with dread in his eyes, “I’ve never seen a single street
preacher, except one. And, that man was hauled off by the police just minutes
after he started preaching. That happened just a week ago, down on the corner
of 2nd and Main Street.”
“Don’t worry about it,” Matthew said. “Just don’t
tell the authorities. Or, when you are done reading it, just leave it somewhere
for someone else to pick up.”

Chaos and anarchy had swept through the cities,
leading to many deaths, burned-out buildings, unprecedented violence, and
gunfights between armed gangs and the police. The military was called into
action to put an end to the violence, and as this happened, martial law was
declared. To bring some order to the country, Obama was returned to the White
House. Though it was unconstitutional, many cheered his reentry into the Oval
Office as the president of America.
Soon after returning to the Oval Office, the
president issued executive orders that began requiring all Americans to forfeit
their constitutional rights for a “limited” period of time. Homeland Security
conducted door-to door searches and seizures of weapons, ammunition, and other
articles deemed dangerous to the safety of America. Then, pastors were required
to collect information on their congregations and report it to officials
working for Obama’s second administration.
Pastors were also required to preach in favor of ultra-liberal and ungodly
subjects such as abortion, homosexuality, “trans-gender” lifestyles, and “marriages”
between multiple men and women, and other evil things. Any pastor refusing to
promote Obama’s evil agendas was arrested and imprisoned. The church would
either be shut down or be given an ultra-liberal pastor who would promote Obama’s
agendas.
Some pastors were fined thousands of dollars or
even up to five million dollars for failing to hire lesbian secretaries or gay
men as youth pastors or assistant pastors. Obama made rules and laws that were
basically edicts to force pastors to hire “transgender” or homosexuals to work
on their staff. Other edicts forced pastors to preach strongly in favor of all
of Obama’s agendas, such as casting women to the role of being a “husband,” and
the man of the house to being a “wife.”
Feminists strongly supported Obama’s
role-reversal policy to give tax breaks to such corrupted and confused
households. Cross-dressing was also to be promoted in Churches, under Obama’s
new laws.

As Matthew Jeremiah reached the Main Street of
Carpathia, he saw a long line of people heading toward a government-sponsored
food pantry. The line stretched for several blocks under the hot sun. A handful
of trees provided some relief to a few of the food-seekers. Hundreds of people
waited for their turn to get some groceries. Many of these people could not
afford the inflated prices found in traditional stores. As the economy plummeted,
food prices had risen to extreme levels.
A gallon of milk was 6 dollars. A box of cereal
was 15 dollars. A can of re-fried beans was about 6 dollars. A dozen eggs was
about 9 or 10 dollars. A gallon of gas was about 15.80 dollars at the pump. The
average American was spending almost all of his or her paycheck on groceries
and living expenses. Many could not afford all the food they needed for living.
As the economy plummeted, jobs became harder and
harder to find. Companies cut hours, leaving many people unable to afford food.
Many in their 30s and 40s had to move back in with their parents if space was
available.
All the while, the level of wickedness was
increasing in America. Out on the street, in broad daylight, prostitutes were
holding up signs advertising their price. Desperate for food and money, the
girls were eager to get customers, even from men who could barely make it
financially.
Matthew was saddened and grieved to see such a
sight. So, he turned and walked in the opposite direction down Main Street.
Driving was so expensive that Matthew opted to
ride a bicycle or walk, like many people did in the city. Carbon emission taxes
added to the cost of gasoline, making it very hard for people to get to work if
they lived in the suburbs or in the country. So, many were forced to move into
the cities. Cities became more and more crowded. Housing became more slum-like
and cheap.
“Hey, can I interest you in some…,” a man said to
Matthew as he approached him on the sidewalk. He had spoken of a particular
narcotic by its colloquial (or “street”) term.
“What’s that?” Matthew said, not quite
understanding him.
The man was dressed in new clothes and had the
latest style of jeans and a T-shirt. He was in his early 40s and had black
backpack. He removed the backpack and set it down. The man reached into his
pack and drew out a package containing narcotics.
Holding up the package, he repeated his question.
Then, he gave a price for his “merchandise.”
“No thanks,” Matthew said. “I’m not interested.”
“I’m cheaper than most dealers,” the man
insisted. “Come on. You’ll not find a better bargain than this.”
“I don’t do drugs,” Matthew said.
Frustrated with Matthew, the man cussed at him
and changed his facial expression to an angry glare. Then, he picked up his
backpack and walked down the street, looking for someone to sell to.
Drug dealers were becoming much bolder and were
actually selling drugs in places not tested by dealers before. America was much
worse now than it was when Matthew was born. He longed to leave and go
somewhere far away from this madness.
First Church of Carpathia. America. 2027 A.D.
“Folks, we are close to the time God spoke of in
Revelation when the whole world wondered after the Beast, which is mentioned in
Revelation 14,” said Frank Douglas, the only pastor of the First Church
of Carpathia, as he stood behind his pulpit.
“The Beast -- also known as the Antichrist -- will require all men and
women to have a mark on their right hand or forehead. That mark, folks, is a
sign of the hardness of their hearts.
“Anyone who takes it will be so hardened against
God that they will never repent --just like King Saul who could not repent even
though he realized he was going to die in battle the following day. Or, they will
be like old Pharaoh who pursued the children of Israel through the Red Sea when
God created a path for the children of Israel to walk on. Mr. Pharaoh was so
hardened that he didn’t think hard about the fact that the wall of water on
each side of him was held up by the power of the God of Israel -- the Almighty.
“Likewise, people today are so hardened that they
will not repent from their abominations and perversions.”
The pastor cleared his throat and took a sip of
water from a glass on his pulpit.
“I feel, folks,” Frank said with some emotion as
he clutched the sides of his pulpit, “that the spirit behind Pharaoh, and the
spirit behind King Nebuchadnezzar’s proclamation to worship the golden statue
is the same spirit behind Obama’s proclamation that all pastors, including
myself, have to preach in favor of abomination!”
There was a gasp from some in the audience of the
conservative Church. A few coughs of astonishment filled the air.
“Yes, Obama had made a law, if you haven’t heard,
that requires all pastors, Catholic priests, Jewish rabbis, and other religious
teachers to speak in favor of what God calls abomination and wickedness. I face
a prison sentence for refusing to preach in favor of this wickedness.”
“That can’t be!” someone said loudly.
“But,” Frank continued, “if I do preach in favor
of it, our church will continue, and I will continue to have the ability to
make a salary. But, no godly man in the pulpit could do such a wicked deed as
that. So, I will resign from the pastorate. I will take no more salary from
this or any church, since all Churches are required to follow these evil laws.
But, I will denounce these vile laws here and now before I resign. This is my
last Sunday with you as a pastor. The next Sunday, you will have to create your
own Bible studies in your private homes.”
A profound deep silence gripped the room as
people contemplated what the pastor had just said.
“But, I will denounce,” Frank said, “like I just
said, these abominations here and now. Obama’s laws are an offence to every
believer in Jesus. They promote what God calls is evil. Just as the Bible says
people in an evil culture do -- they call evil ‘good,’ and good ‘evil.’ They
call abortion, homosexuality, and prostitution ‘good,’ but God’s Word condemns
these as terrible sins. We cannot accept what society tells us to accept. We
cannot receive what God condemns, for if we do, we would become just like the
world, and we would wander far from the road of life and pass into destruction.”
Suddenly, Matthew Jeremiah heard a sound of
rustling as two men walked down the isle past his pew. He was sitting in a pew
with his wife Sarah. The men who had just walked past him were wearing business
suits with short hair and clean-shaven faces. Two more men, wearing similar
clothing, stood up and walked toward the exits of the sanctuary.
The first two approached the pastor at the pulpit
and stepped onto the raised platform. One stepped behind the preacher.
“What is this?” Frank said, surprised, looking
around.
As he spoke, one of the men roughly grabbed his
hands from behind and pulled them back. He snapped metal handcuffs around the
pastor’s wrists.
The other man with the business suit turned and
faced the audience, which was now seized with fear and alarm.
“There is no need to be alarmed, ladies and
gentlemen,” the government agent said. “We are with the … [he mentioned a
government agency]. And, we are here to place your pastor under arrest for
violating…” The agent gave the name of a law created by Obama.
“Your pastor will appear before a court in a
month from now. There, he will most certainly be sentenced to five years in the
state penitentiary. Please remain calm and stay seated. A new pastor can soon
be provided for this congregation.”
After saying a few more words, the agents
escorted the pastor down the steps of his podium, down the aisle, through the
foyer, and into the parking lot outside. They hustled him toward a white,
unmarked van and shoved him inside. Once he was seated, two agents sat down on
either side of him. And, the van door was closed.
In seconds, the vehicle started off and drove on
its way toward a county jail. As it drove away, some members of the
congregation ran out onto the parking lot and watched with dismay as the white vehicle
drive off with their only pastor.
Matthew Jeremiah was one of the witnesses who saw
the white van speed away. With his heart pounding in his chest, he knew that
his days going to an official Church congregation were over. No Church in
America would be allowed to preach against Obama’s agenda. And, all pastors
would arrested for refusing to preach in favor of the abominations promoted by
the new government.
Saddened, he turned and walked back into the
building, intending to find his wife.
Jeff Duncan’s House. Carpathia, America.
2028 A.D.
Jeff Duncan, his wife Sally, and ten other adults
sat in his spacious living room. Cups of coffee, Bibles, old fashioned donuts,
and glasses of water rested on coffee tables and lamp stands. High ceilings
with chandeliers gave the large room the feeling of a small Church sanctuary.
The nearby kitchen area with its ornately-carved maple cabinets and oak dinner
table provided refreshments for the group of believers.
In a basement recreation room, two teenage girls
and a young mother watched over fifteen children of various ages as they played
with toys.
A Church worship service was taking place,
secretly, in the Duncan home. It was illegal to meet for religious purposes,
and all who participated knew it. But, they were willing to risk being caught
so that they could fellowship with other believers.
Sitting on a leather sofa, Jeff Duncan, a
balding, middle-aged man, said, “We remember the words of our Lord, who said:
‘[9] After
this manner therefore pray ye : Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed
be thy name.’” [See Matthew 6:9.]
Before he
could quote the next verse, a loud knock came at the front door. Jeff Duncan
paused and set down his Bible.
“I wonder
who that could be on this late Sunday morning?” he said aloud as he stood.
The
knocking continued.
With all
eyes on him, Jeff approached the oaken door, and unlocked a deadbolt. He swung
the door open a few inches and saw, to his surprise, a man wearing a black
business suit. Another man stood behind him. Both men appeared to be in their
thirties and wore short, dark hair. The closest man drew a badge out of his
suit jacket and flipped it open.
“This is
the …” the agent said calmly, identifying what agency he worked for. “We are
placing you and every adult in here under arrest for illegal religious
activity.”
“What?”
Jeff said, feeling his heart pounding faster. “What? Why?”
“You and
all the adults will be placed in custody until a court determines what penalty
to give. The children will be placed in foster care for the time being. Older
teens will also be placed in foster homes.”
“This is
unconstitutional!” Jeff said, with rising frustration.
“You have
the right to remain silent,” the agent said evenly but a glimmer of hatred
flickered in his eyes.
Suddenly,
Jeff tightened his fist and thought of punching the man, but he realized that
would be very un-Christ-like. So, he relaxed and sighed. His hands were pulled
behind his back and handcuffs were snapped tightly around his wrists. An agent
led him down the front steps and toward the street. As he did, more agents
approached the house from several white vans parked along the street. As the
agents entered the house, women stifled screams, and men stood to their feet.
Across the
street from the Duncan home, Samantha Davis, a 47-year-old neighbor lady stood
before a kitchen window and peeked out through a closed curtain. She saw the
government agents and the vans on the street near her neighbors’ house. Seeing
them brought some glee to her heart.
Samantha
had seen an unusual sight every Sunday morning. Several families would pull up
to the Duncan home, unload their children, and walk up toward the front door.
Their arrival always happened near 10 A.M. on almost every Sunday. After seeing
them do this for several weeks, Samantha had called the police and had told
them about what she termed “suspicious activity.” She had informed them about
the regular Sunday meetings at the Duncan home.
Now, she
stood at her window and watched as her neighbors and their friends were
brought, handcuffed, outside to the white vans. They were loaded into the vans
with gruffness and some speed. Crying children were loaded into a few more
vans, and the vehicles started up and drove off down the street.
Hours
after the mass arrest, an agent came to her door and handed her a reward check
from the government. She had learned from the agent that a government agency
had sent a plainclothes agent to visit the Duncan house that same Sunday. The
secret agent spying on the Christians had confirmed that the group was
conducting “illegal religious activity” such as meeting together in an “unlawful
assembly” for [supposedly] “subversive purposes.”
“This is a
lot more money than I expected to get,” Samantha said to the agent as she
glanced at the check.
“If you
continue to report suspicious activity, you could make more money,” the agent
said with a smile. “And, those pesky fundamentalists will be put in their
place.”
“I’ll
gladly tell you about anything else I see,” she said, with a crooked grin as
she fingered the check.
The Bartholomew Home. Carpathia, America. 2029 A.D.
In a
basement bedroom in the Bartholomew’s rural home outside the town of Carpathia,
two families visited with each other. Steve and Nancy Bartholomew lived three
miles from the town. A graveled driveway led to their house from the highway.
It snaked through pine trees for half a mile before reaching the front side of
a modest, two-story, gabled home, which had a small chicken coop, a tool shed,
and a two-car garage.
Nestled in
the forest, the house sat on a low hill at the foot of a larger hill. It was
Thursday night. The lights were on in the main floor of the house to give the
house the appearance that it was in use, but the two families made their refuge
in the basement. There, they conducted their Bible study, prayer time, and
singing time. It was not so much a Church service as it was a Christ-centered
Bible study which had worship times and prayer times throughout it.
Matthew
Jeremiah planned to have Steve and Nancy over to his house for supper on a
Tuesday the following week. And, Steve suggested that Matthew and Sarah might
meet up with David and Shelly Springfield at their home the week after that.
Matthew
knew that having a very fluid schedule for meeting other Christians was the
only safe way to conduct Bible studies and Church meetings in this new America
they now lived in. They met to discuss God’s Word, to have prayer and praise
times, and to encourage each other in the Lord Jesus Christ at least once a
week. But, Matthew and Sarah never met with more than one couple at a time, and
never twice in a row, in the same location.
That way,
neighbors would not know that anything strange was going on. For, other
families that didn’t even claim to be Christians would meet with friends from
time to time. And, since the days of the week always varied from week to week,
Matthew’s neighbors were not suspicious that he and Sarah always left to go
somewhere each week.
Carpathia, America. 2030 A.D.
“Matthew,
did you hear the latest news from Washington D.C.?” Sarah said as she walked
into Steve’s office.
Her
husband was sitting before an oak desk, reading from the Bible. He set the
Bible down and looked at his sweetheart.
“What did
you just hear, honey?” Matthew Jeremiah said, curious.
“I got a
phone call from Nancy Bartholomew,” Sarah said with amazement in her eyes. “She
had just read a newspaper article about how President Obama was removed from
the White House through a coup. Generals and admirals sent loyal troops into
the White House with the assistance of the Secret Service and they shut down
Obama’s administration. But, Obama must have gotten wind of the coup hours
before it took place, and he fled the country in a private jet. It wasn’t the
presidential plane. It was a small jet. Apparently, he landed in a South
American country where he is living in hiding.”
Matthew
stood up. “This is amazing news. But, I wonder if that means that America will
not be judged.”
“I don’t
think it will change a thing, honey,” Sarah said. “I believe America is too
wicked and hardened for a mere transition of power to affect its course toward
damnation.”
“I believe
you are right, Sarah,” Matthew said. “But, I wonder if the military leaders who
now hold the reigns of power in the capital will be favorable to Christianity,
or not.”
“I hope
they are, but we will see soon,” Sarah said.
Washington D.C., America. 2030 A.D.
Huge
crowds holding up signs protesting the interim military government marched
through the streets of Washington D.C.
Major General John Samson Easterly’s face appeared on signs and posters
that mocked his facial features and military rank. Walking among the vast mobs
of people on the streets, a group of men carried a burning effigy of the
general, who was now the interim leader of America.
“Down with
Easterly!” several people shouted in unison. “Bring back Obama!”
Riot
police formed a long line in front of the White House. A second line formed up
behind the first, to strengthen it. Armored police trucks with flashing lights
were positioned behind the riot police, ready to unleash crowd-control
technologies to hold the mob at bay.
“The
country is in an uproar today after President Obama’s administration was
forcibly removed from the White House and from the halls of government by a
military coup just four days ago. …” a news anchor’s voice came from a car
speaker as it pulled into a parking lot.
The news
anchor continued, saying, “Later today, Major General Easterly is expected to
give a speech addressing the protestors. Polls conducted by the … indicate that
90 percent of Americans are opposed to the new interim government. …”
Several Miles from Carpathia. America. 2031 A.D.
“The interim government in Washington D.C. has
been rumored to consider going to war with Russia over its annexation of Crimea
back in 2014, and for …” A news anchor said through the speakers of Nancy’s
small radio set on a kitchen counter.
Steven and Nancy Bartholomew and Matthew and
Sarah Jeremiah were in the Jeremiah house out in the countryside. Located in a
forested area far from the town of Carpathia, Matthew and Sarah’s house was a
rental property God had graciously led them to. Their home in Carpathia was
getting less and less safe, and the Jeremiahs wanted to find a safer location
to live in. So, God had graciously guided them to this rural house.
Steve walked into the kitchen to find Matthew,
Sarah, and Nancy listening closely to the radio.
“What are you hearing there?” Steve said, curious
as he approached the small group.
“Just listen first, darling,” Nancy said to her
husband.
“Russia has stated,” said the news anchor, “in
unequivocal terms that it will launch nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons
on America if it is attacked by the United States or its close allies. Russian
military officials have warned that Russia possesses hypersonic nuclear weapons
that quote ‘cannot be shot out of the sky’. These weapons, according to the
same Russian officials, are quote ‘powerful and effective at fully eliminating
a target or perceived threat within a period of less than seven minutes from
the launch point.’ Other experts have stated that the new hypersonic weapons
cannot be quote ‘neutralized or destroyed while en route to their targets.’
While many …”
“This is incredible,” Steve said. “God had told
us this would happen to America.”
“What would happen?” Sarah said, looking at
Steve.
“God had told us,” Steve said, “that He would
have to judge this country for all its wickedness and have Russia bomb it until
almost all the people in the United States would be gone. God doesn’t want to
have to do that, but because this country will not turn to God, He will have to
judge it. It has been quite some years since this country has had so-called “gay
marriage” approved by the Supreme Court. And, it has been decades since the
killing of babies -- abortion -- was legalized. We don’t have much longer left.
I believe we need to seek God about find out what He would like us to do. War
with Russia could start very soon. And, the nukes will come for America whether
she is ready or not.”
“That is a good idea, Steve,” Matthew said. “Let’s
have a prayer time now. What do you folks say?”
“Yes,” several said, in agreement.
Chapter 3
The Last Chapter
All Across America. 2031 A.D.
As the Christians prayed in the Jeremiah home,
millions of Americans were going to movie theaters and watching movies online
that promoted abortion, homosexuality, fornication, cross-dressing, “trans-gender”
lifestyles, using profanity, mocking God, mocking Christians, adultery, violence,
the occult, aliens, witchcraft, graphic violence, and many other evil things.
Many of those who watched these evil movies and
TV shows attended Churches and claimed to be “Christians.” But, they showed by
their bad fruit that they did not love God. And, they didn’t love God’s Word,
the Bible, either, for they loved watching shows that promoted the very things
God hates and speaks against in the Bible.
At the same time, millions of people in their
40s, 30s, 20s, and younger regularly played occultic and violent video games.
Millions also played racing games and wasted their lives with worthless and
harmful entertainment. The video game world of the 21st century was
full of evil beyond what video games from the ‘90s portrayed (which themselves
were bad).
Sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, “trans-gender”
lifestyles, and other blatant sins were openly promoted in established Churches
that had parking lots and signs. Every true Christian had left such
establishments of evil and had gone underground.
The culture was so polluted with violence,
murder, fornication, incest, and abominations that its cup of iniquity was
full. When anyone did speak against it, he or she was silenced, arrested, and
locked up. A couple congress people had resigned from office due to their
abhorrence at how evil Obama’s laws were. They were also disgusted that nothing
could be done to stop those laws.
Governors from some states resigned their
positions and stepped down in protest to Obama. But, the vast majority of
political leaders went along with Obama’s decrees and sang his praises.
As this was going on, America was mostly in the
dark to the fact that a storm of judgment was brewing. Evil spirits were
influencing decisions in Russia, Europe, Asia, China, and America, preparing
for a third world war. Soon, the war would break out on the face of the earth
and send millions to their graves.
The Aftermath of the Nuclear Attack on America.
2034 A.D.
The once-great Empire of America lay in ashes.
Many thousands of powerful nuclear weapons had fallen on American soil, filling
its skies with radioactive ash (i.e. fallout). Its great cities were now heaps
of rubble. Twisted beams of steel, melted glass, splintered wood, and shards of
concrete littered the landscape of what was once New York City, Baltimore,
Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Miami, Palm Beach, Cincinnati, Las Vegas, Las
Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, and many other American cities.
Russian aircraft released many tons of poisonous
gases on the inhabitants of lesser towns and cities, killing millions more. The
bodies of the dead littered the streets, alleys, and avenues of America. So
many were killed by the attacks from Russia, and China, and a host of other
allied nations that there was not enough manpower to remove the heaps of the
deceased. So, the victors of the war let them decay in the open sun.
After some time had passed for the nuclear
radioactivity to decrease to a relatively safe level, Russia, China, and a few
other nations set up colonies in America to mine and collect its natural
resources. They often used slave labor taken from the few millions who survived
the nuclear, chemical, and biological attacks against America.
A few millions of people survived the attacks on
America, but they survived only to find themselves being arrested and hauled
off to concentration camps set up by their captors. In these brutal camps,
millions more died from starvation, extreme exhaustion, cold weather, brutal
treatment, and harsh conditions. But, even as the American prisoners went
through all that suffering, almost none of them recognized their evil ways as
being wrong, and almost none of them repented and turned to Jesus Christ for
salvation.
But, a few did. And, in God’s mercy, He spared
them and brought them to Heaven or to cities of refuge.
In His great mercy and love, God Almighty did not
want to see America suffer, but He knew that a few would repent from their
hardened hearts and get saved if He allowed America to suffer from many
problems. It was not God’s will that any should perish but that they should
repent and be saved. However, God cannot force people to repent, since they
have a free will. But, God calls out to them in any way that He knows could
work. But, sadly, few respond to His call, and few turn to Him, and repent, and
make Jesus Christ their personal Savior and Lord.
Conclusion. America in 2019 A.D.
Matthew Jeremiah was sitting before an old
computer which was not connected to the internet. He was in his small apartment
bedroom in the town of Carpathia. It was the year 2019. God had just told him
to go and write down a message. Matthew had tested God’s voice using the test
of the spirits found in 1 John chapter 4, verses 1 through 4. Seated before the
computer with his fingers poised just above the keyboard, Matthew waited.
Then, God’s kind and loving voice spoke to
Matthew’s spirit, and God said:
[Note: The following is an actual word from God.]
“My son, Matthew, I am with you. I love you very
much and I love every person I created very much. But, so many refuse to repent
as I call out to them. So many refuse to recognize their wrongdoings as
wrongdoings and sins. So many refuse to seek Me as I call out to them. But, I
will continue to plead with them and warn them and have My people intercede for
them.
[God said: “… America shall burn.”]
“Now, I will tell you that America shall burn. It
shall become ruinous heaps. It shall not be inhabited after the Russians and
Chinese have completely used it for their purposes. They shall fight over it in
the future, and the land shall be desolate and uninhabited. The wolves shall
multiply through America, and the great nation shall be no more. What you shall
hear of in the decades to come is that America, the proud nation, is a
wasteland and a wilderness. Eagles shall inhabit the remains of skyscrapers,
and build their nests high up in the buildings.
“House cats shall revert to their wild instincts
and hunt for foot like their ancestors did long ago. Dogs shall form packs and
roam around looking for dead animals, rotting flesh, and anything they can sink
their teeth into.
“The roads will become cracked and overgrown with
weeds. Streets will become filled with fungus, weeds, and other plants. The
towns will fall into disrepair that have survived the nuclear holocaust that
shall strike America. But, no one will move into those desolate places, for
great shall be the fall of America. The basketball courts, football fields, and
other large sports areas shall become full of wild animals, such as rats and
birds. There shall be decay in every town and in every city.
“If any film team should visit America in the
future, they will see a wilderness with abandoned, decaying cities and towns,
and they shall see wildlife roaming around where people used to live.
Documentaries will be made for countries such as France, China, Japan,
Switzerland, and The United Kingdom that will reveal the reasons for the
destruction of America. But, even so, Europe shall not escape My judgment.
[God said: “…Europe shall not escape My judgment.”]
“For, Europe has multiplied its sins against Me
like America. But, even so, Europe has not hardened its heart against Me as
much as America has, for Europe does not have so many used Church buildings on
its street corners and in its cities. It does have so many Baptist, Methodist,
Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Evangelical, Mennonite, Seventh Day Adventist,
Lutheran, and so forth Churches as America has.
“Europe doesn’t have Hollywood spinning out
filthy movie after filthy movie. Europe doesn’t have Nashville, or Houston, or
Las Vegas, or Las Angeles, or Dallas, or New York City, or Washington D.C. It
is not as spiritually corrupt as America is, but it is close. Now, I will tell
you, My son, that I shall judge Europe almost at the same time that I judge
America.
“Europe shall not escape judgment. But, Russia
shall bring destruction into Europe like a hammer and sickle striking a blow
against a china vase. Europe shall collapse under Russia’s onslaught and fierce
attack. Its military, which is based on America’s military support, shall
collapse. NATO shall fall. The military power of Europe shall crumble into dust
as Russia strikes its blow into Europe’s heart.
“The European powers, such as France, the U.K.,
and Germany, shall surrender. Other countries will put up a little fight, but
they will be subdued like a nest of ants being burned with flaming kerosene.
There will be no escape for Hungary, Belgium, the Netherlands, Wales, Sicily,
Armenia, or other nations that want to be independent of Russia’s influence.
Romania will be flooded with soldiers and will be conquered quickly.
“Then, in the same way Russia controlled the
Soviet bloc in the days of communism, Russia shall control Europe with puppet
governments and police states. Vladimir Putin will still be in power in Russia
when this happens. He shall set up a Russian empire that shall conquer all of
Europe. I will cause all of Europe to submit to his power, even remote
countries such as Greenland and Iceland and Norway shall be under Russia’s
influence and control. Russia, the nation that the West mocked, shall be the
West’s undoing. Russia, the superpower that was, shall rise again. It shall
conquer all of Central Asia down to the border of Afghanistan. It shall rebuild
what it lost when it collapsed in 1991.
“The bloody Bosnian war shall be nothing in
comparison to the destruction Russia and its allies will unleash upon Europe.
Belarus shall be in complete agreement with Russian, sending Belarusian troops
in support of the Russian coalition. Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan shall join
Russia in sending troops into Europe.
“Iran shall also commit troops to assist the
Russians in their battle to conquer Europe, particularly in former Muslim
lands, such as in Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia. Syria shall commit
troops in support of Russian attacks in the Middle East. Georgia and Armenia
shall become colonies of Russia and shall commit troops to assist Russia in
their wars, for Russia will fight many wars in the future.
[God said: “China Shall Assist Russia.”]
“And, China shall commit troops to assist Russia
in their battle to capture Syria. China shall also commit troops to assist
Russia in the capture of port towns in Europe. And, Chinese soldiers shall
assist Russia in conquering other countries, such as Saudi Arabia, and American
ally.
“Saudi Arabia shall become a Russian and Chinese
ally after Russia’s conquest of the Arabian peninsula, which will be very short
in duration. Russia will capture all the oil fields in Arabia and will run them
in a monopoly with China. So, Russia and China will become the two main
superpowers in the years to come.
[God said: “Obama Shall Return to the White House.”]
“All these things shall happen in the decades to
come. I will show you also that President Barack Hussein Obama shall return to
the White House shortly. And, he shall come through a coup. He shall come to
prepare America for judgment and for destruction. These things shall happen, My
son.
“When Obama comes, conservative America will be
outraged and will be in terrible agony. Great persecution will be unleashed
against the Christians in America who truly are My sheep. Obama will be a line
in the sand for the lukewarm Church. If you are lukewarm, I will spew you out
of My mouth and into Hell. I give this warning to Christians so that they will
seek Me to know Me intimately and to forsake sin, looking to Me for help to do
so. You cannot forsake sin all by yourself, but by looking to Me, and following
Me, and seeking to know Me, you will be free.
“The power of Obama will strengthen and grow. So,
don’t fight Obama when he comes. I have placed him into power over America to
try America’s heart. Are you for Obama’s wicked policies, and actions, and
beliefs? Or, are you for Me? If you are for Me, you will repent, and leave
false Churches, and leave false Christians behind. A false Christian claims to
know Me, but shows much bad fruit, and refuses to truly, genuinely repent. He
or she justifies, in his or her own mind, his or her sins.
“So, I will call out to America and plead with
them. Sodomy will be the law of the land. Anyone who refuses to accept this
great sin will be persecuted. But, I will reward those who suffer for My sake.
I don’t want sodomy and abomination to be the law of the land, but I will allow
this to try My people to see if they will repent, and forsake the world, and
will seek Me, or not.
“Obama will force, by his actions, the true
Church to go underground and to leave the false church behind. The true Church
will refuse to listen to a so-called ‘pastor’ preach in favor of sodomy,
homosexuality, gender perversion, fornication, incest, lust, greed, mammon,
idolatry, and so forth. Yes, false pastors will preach in favor of those sins
because Obama will say that if they don’t preach in favor of such sins, they
will be cast into prison and their money will be taken away.
[God said: “True Christians Will Leave False Churches.”]
“Now, I will show you that even those true
Christians that leave the false churches will suffer persecution, for Obama
will have spies try to track them down and hunt for their lives. Obama’s spies
will located where Christians are having Bible studies and where they are
meeting in secret. But, if you follow Me, and go where I show, you and do
what I lead you to do, you will be safe from all spies and from all harm.
“You will not be harmed in any way. And, I
will lead you out to places of refuge or cities of refuge like I did for Noah
and his family with the ark of Noah. I will keep you safe. But, if
you refuse to follow My guidance because you are fearful or because of
doubt, you will be needlessly walking in darkness and will be caught and thrown
into prison. Even if you have a Bible study, but you refuse to follow My
leading, by My Spirit, you will be placing yourself at risk of being caught.
“So, seek Me about all of this. Follow My
Spirit. Look to Me. Rest in Me. Trust in Me. Delight in Me and in My Word, the
Bible. Read it. Meditate on it, and you will grow. The power of darkness will
fail in your life as you seek to know Me much better. I love you all
very much. And, I the LORD your GOD and Abba Father have spoken.”
