A coming cataclysm reported

Dear friends:

An unusual e-mail came to me today, from a lady I have not heard from in ages. I pass it along for your discernment. If you want to inform her of any similar experiences you can pass it on to me and I will forward it to her.

Jim

Dear Jim,

All praise to the Lord Jesus Christ, The Way, The Truth and The Life.

Several years ago we corresponded briefly concerning your most insightful explanation of the reasons for the discrepancies between the Hebrew and modern Christian calendars, and also concerning an angel sighting in Georgia reported by a friend of mine. It has been several years since that correspondence with you which I greatly appreciated.

Something has happened recently which I would like to describe to you in order to ask for some feedback from you.

At the risk of sounding like a Monday-morning quarterback, I can tell you honestly that between July and August of 2001 the Lord told me clearly that NY City was going to be attacked. While I was driving by Manhattan on I 95 in August of that year, I was looking at the World Trade Center. I heard clearly and distinctly: "Take a good look at those towers -- you will never see them again." During the entire previous year, I had a sense that something was coming to our country which would change it profoundly and forever. I continue to have a deep sense that the WTC attack was not the entire fulfillment of that warning. I have checked this with my own pastor who simply said to me, "I know. We don't have much time."

On August 8 a woman who does music ministry in my church came to me with a sense that she was hearing something from the Lord. She is a totally committed Christian with a good sense of discernment who is very careful not to be swayed "by every wind of doctrine" or to accept any claim without prayer and testing. She believes that God is telling her that we are in for a great cataclysm very soon. (I had never said anything to her about my previous sense of this message). She has been led to pray for God's mercy to our country because she believes she has been told that we are going to be hit with something devastating before very long.

This kind of idea is not surprising given our current situation in the world. Many people are more than a little nervous about a variety of threats. However what this woman was saying to me did not come out of her reaction to news reports; she was speaking from her sense of the Lord's presence to her in prayer

Two days ago someone else came to my husband with a similar statement. Both of these messages do not seem to be coming from some vague sense of general anxiety but rather out of prayerful listening to the Lord's leading.

This man is also faithful and careful to follow good teaching and to submit himself to God's Holy Word and to his pastor. He has never met the woman who spoke to me, and was completely unaware of my conversation with her.

He said that over this past weekend he had an encounter with the Lord which went through his entire body like a shock wave. In this experience he was given a message that within a year our country will be hit by a catastrophic event and our lives will be profoundly changed. I do not know whether he meant that this will happen before the end of this calendar year or within a year's time from now.

I am writing this to you because I need to test these words and to ask for some counsel. Do you know of other Christians who have received similar words in the recent past? I have been looking at various web sites to see if anyone is posting such ideas, but I am not coming up with anything particular. Is the Lord beginning now to call to His church concerning being prepared for something coming *very soon*?

We all feel and realize that the Lord's coming cannot now be far off. However, these visions and warnings are more specific and very, very close.

Do you have any thoughts or discernment concerning these messages? Could you give me any leads on others with a similar sense that the Lord is now speaking to His people in this way? Any feedback which you might be able to give me would be greatly appreciated.

Many blessings to you and yours now and always. Maranatha!
