John the Baptist, the 'last' prophet.
America seems to be a favourite punching bag for a lot of writers. Yes there is more violence now than 20 years ago but that's not just in America, 'it's all over the world'.

And 'weather changes' are occuring 'globally' - so obviously it's not just America that's under God's wrath - if you assume that weather changes are God's judgment.

Our 'ozone layer' is fragmenting due to 'pollution' - man is wrecking the earth. Scientists and Environmentalists warned us 30 years ago this was going to happen if we didn't make serious changes then.

It's easy to put everything in a 'God's judgment basket' and just say 'God is mad so He's going to destroy the earth'. He is 'longsuffering' not 'wanting anyone to perish' - we on the otherhand are like John (apostle) when he said to Jesus 'call down fire from heaven and destroy them'.

I have difficulty with people who believe they are prophets, even one so well known and respected as David Wilkerson. "For all the law and the prophets prophesied until John". (Matt. 11:13) This is speaking about John the Baptist. 'The law' and 'the prophets' (Old Testament writings) prophesied 'until' meaning 'up to' John, meaning John was 'the last' prophet. It was John who 'introduced Jesus' to the world and after the Lord was revealed there was 'no need for any more prophets'. If we say we need more prophets we are actually saying that Jesus was not 'the fulfillment' of 'the law and the prophets' and we need 'more prophets' to show us the way.

If people go looking for prophets then anti-Christ will find a willing audience because he's going to be the best prophet ever because he will be able to explain the secrets of the ages, and the false prophet who introduces him will be able to perform amazing miracles. Be careful that you are not watching for the wrong things!!!

Prophets Are Not Supposed to make you feel Good
David Wilkerson, unlike some reviewers of this book, and one in particular, get a little testy with his gloom and doom scenarios, but it isn't like he wants to do this. Like I've said in another review, if you don't like it, E-mail him, or attend his services at Times Square Church in New York City. Martinezboy obviously thought that a few "Holy Ghost stock tips or trader buys" might be more in line with what he was looking for, but maybe he ought to get his priorities in order. A prophet is not supposed to make you feel good. Examine the Scriptures and see if the prophets spoke to make you feel like a million bucks. Not John the Baptist, not Isaiah, not Jeremiah, and not the others. Read this with a discerning heart. It is powerful stuff, and unlike an earlier reviewer...I say buy this book and the Cross and the Switchblade, but don't fall in love with America's stock market or economy. "We seek a city to come. This earth is not our home." Is that negative thinking? Check out the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life.

Ears to hear
I have no doubt that the Lord is speaking to us through this book. I can only pray that we have ears to hear. We have received a host of blessings in this nation, and have become so enamored by our prosperity and abundance that our hearts have grown cold to the things of God. Lord forgive us. I am grateful for faithful men of God like Pr. Wilkerson, who refuse to lie to us and tell us that salvation's enough - just eat, drink, be merry and mention my Son to your neighbors every now and then. We have been bought for a price, and we are no longer our own. The blood of Christ wasn't shed so we could live apathetically and plead it over our lukewarm efforts. It was poured out to restore us in our relationship with God, and to gain back our authority over the enemy. I pray a faithful remnant heeds the warnings in this book, rises to it's feet, and using our authority in Christ, valiantly fights the end-times battle in the heavenlies!
