In the early 1990’s God asked me
to write “Wake Up, America.” No
specifics as to what this was, just write “Wake Up, America.” And as I look over all my writings since, all
the ministry newsletters and the email publications like WATCHMAN WARNING and SIGN OF
THE TIMES, and my personal blog, our web site, our television programs,
CDs, and in-person programs, I see that is indeed what I’ve been doing.
For many years all our efforts
were about the absolute wonders and marvelous truths of Jesus and the full
gospel – the fact I often said that God is real, Jesus is real, the Holy Spirit
is real, the Bible is true – and on and on.
I was amazed and thrilled beyond words at the reality of God, that God
actually came into my car that night on the New Jersey turnpike (you can read
about in my testimony on the web site), that the Holy Spirit is a tangible
presence, not just someone given lip service by those who only know Jesus and
God and the Holy Spirit as characters in a book. I was amazed and thrilled at the fact that
miracles and healings are for right now, not just for the first century, and
that they happen right now! Of course,
knowing Jesus, having faith, is a key ingredient in that. We have seen so many wonderful things. So I wanted to wake everyone up to Jesus, to
God, to the Holy Spirit, not just unbelievers but those who go to all those dry
churches where they never or rarely ever encounter God or see healings and
such.
But then Jesus suddenly told me
in 2005 to tell people who he is and that he is coming soon, and as he
elaborated on that in guidance over the years, my focus shifted more to his
imminent return. Then about a year and a
half ago he moved further to indicate that my message now is the return, his
return.
Events in the world, fulfillment
of all the Biblical prophecies of things to happen before his return, all make
it abundantly clear to anyone whose spiritual eyes and whose mind are open that
we are right there at the end of this age.
The dreadful events happening on earth, the deception that is so
abundant everywhere and which Jesus warned against, and the falling away from
God which Paul noted all underscore where we are in time.
So in the last week of January I
sent out a WATCHMAN WARNING focusing
on how America’s leaders in such areas as government, education, entertainment,
and media as well as a large number of average Americans just blindly ignore
what is happening in the world. The
horrors of the many serious radical muslim terrorist groups are just covered
over, ignored in the country by these people, with leaders refusing to use the
world muslim terrorist. It is not a few
people that make up these terrorist groups.
It is a large, large number. And
it most certainly is not true that islam is a religion of peace. That false religion spread from the very
beginning by violence, and in fact was only checked after it had roared through
the Mediterranean and into lower western Europe by a strong military victory by
the French led by Charles Martel in 732 at Tours. Otherwise all Europe today might have been
muslim.
In that last WATCHMAN WARNING I noted how it seems to me America is much like
Germany in the 1930’s and early 1940’s – the people then were just blind to the
Nazis and what was happening. And
Americans today – leaders and average citizens – for the most part are
similarly blind to what is happening.
So after sending that Warning
out, my wife pointed me to words I found to be extremely relevant. They are from a woman who as a young girl
suffered in Auschwitz, the horrible German concentration camp in Poland where
so many were killed. She and her older
sister miraculously survived and were rescued when the Russians freed the
camp. That camp was the location of the
monster Dr. Josef Mengele, who conducted all sorts of experiments on
people. The girls were fortunate and
survived perhaps because they came to the camp only a few months before the
Soviets liberated it.
Here are the words of the woman
who knew Mengele, who knew Auschwitz, who knew first-hand the horrors people
are capable of, who encountered real evil first hand. She is now 80 years old and her name is Marta
Wise. Currently she lives in Israel
after living in Australia for many years.
These words were said now, just before the 70th anniversary
of the liberation of the prison camp on January 27th.
“I used to be an optimist until a
few years ago, but the situation in the Middle East has changed and the world
does not notice anything,” she said.
“Reading the newspaper in the past few days is just like reading the
newspaper in the 1930’s.
“The world has not changed at
all. The bottom line is it can happen
again and it is happening again in many places, not necessarily to the Jews,
but to anyone.”
Chilling, isn’t it. Why don’t you try waking up your neighbors
and friends and family to what is happening?
Many things happening on earth are horrible. The leaders are blind, or they are confused
and lost as to what to do.
Much more importantly - and thank
God - Jesus is coming back very soon.
