    "Soon" is not very specific.

    "New York City, New Jersey and Connecticut" is pretty specific. What is going to happen (fires and looting) is pretty specific.

    MY take on it all? I think we are to be prepared for some rough times - but be prudent with that preparation. I'm not looking to find a homestead in the hills where we can raise our own meat and be completely off grid - storing up supplies for over a year.

    But then again, I'm trying to not just have a few day's groceries on hand. We have supplimental heat, batteries, food stores (not as much as it should be but I'm trying to work through some old stuff then restore our "stores") for a few weeks and such. We have a sailboat that we can be pretty self-sufficient on for a time and other than that, it's in God's hands. I'm not overly worried because if we die, we go home with the Lord. If we don't, we still have time to spread the Gospel. I've read the book. I know how it ends. I'm not afraid.

    Well, I'm one more of this same minority!

    Today is the first I've heard of this "prophesy", so I'm not in a position to either accept or reject it.

    Agree completely. My husband and I have already been making preparations and have rabbits, soon to have chickens, and he has worked tirelessly on a vegetable garden. He believes we are going to need it.

    There isn't anything wrong with preparing for the worst even if you don't believe Wilkerson or Paul Washer. There are enouugh indicators to know that we could very well (and very soon) be forced into a difficult situation. But I agree that we should not be frightened, but strengthened in Him. He is where all Christians must put their trust. True believers are blessed with His peace.

    Add me as another. I don't know anything about Wilkerson and just read about this today in this thread, but my wife and I have been expecting something along these lines for a couple of years now. We have been learning to can, hunt,etc. Will we need it? Who knows, but as people said when I worked construction "Save your money, hard times are a comin"

    I do not believe God gives anyone visions for the church or the world anymore.

    Here are some of Wilkerson's false prophecies, according to this site. Apparently, I found out recently that they are written up in a book as well, Soothsayers of the Second Advent, by William Alnor.

    One false prophecy, according to the Bible, means he is a false prophet no matter what else he says, and we should not listen to him.

    I agree with you. You made a good point. What about Paul Washer?

    I never heard nor heard of Paul Washer. I watched the video you posted a link to.

    This is not like Wilkerson. Washer is not claiming here, as far as I can tell, that God gave him a prophecy. He seems to be giving his own views, and is talking generally about how the culture is getting more anti-Christian and will persecute Christians. If it's his view and opinion, that's fine. Based on this video, I would not call him a false prophet. Wilkerson gave and is giving predictions that he says God gave him. Big difference.

    Ahh yes, LE will never answer a question but she will pop in ever once in a while and throw a dart. Shouldn't you be planning for this coming catastrophe?

    Actually, I have read every post on this thread, as of now. (This happens to be the second time on this thread someone has said or implied that I did not read the response, BTW.) However, I have no interest in looking at some video clip of (or about) someone, nor in taking the time, at this moment, to watch any "complete performance" of any said individual, either. The thread is about the so-called "urgent message" by one David Wilkerson, not something by one Paul Washer. You have attempted to inject Mr. Washer into the thread, and I have simply asked what the latter has to do with the former.

    BTW, I also do know something about both Paul Washer and David Wilkerson, and while I don't claim to be any great 'expert' on either, have been somewhat familiar with David Wilkerson for more than 40 years.

    Well Ed, I'm not sure your question is edifying or meant to tear down. Are you a mocker, or someone who knows the facts? If you are implying that I'm a wacko and we do not have genetically modified STERILE seeds (compliments of Monsanto), I would suggest you stroll down to Walmart and ask the person in charge of the nursery. I did. To top that off, before you give an opinion on "conspiracy theorists" check the local garden clubs. It's always better to have knowledge before you bait. If on the other hand, you are a fellow gardner, forget the above paragraph. :saint:

    "Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear." (Ephesians 4:29 NASB)

    I love this forum...:love2:
