A Great Earthquake (EQ) coming
February 3, 2006
Dear Brethren
Isaiah 24: 19-20, "The earth is violently broken, the
earth is split open, the earth is shaken exceedingly. The earth shall reel to
and fro like a drunkard, and shall totter like a hut; Its transgression shall
be heavy upon it, and it will fall, and not rise again."
While I was in Romania,
one night after my devotions I went to bed, exhausted and in need of much sleep
having ridden in a truck all day delivering food to families. It had been a
hard day, and we had to push the truck out of snow banks and ditches more than
once. My body ached, and all I really wanted was to get some good rest.
As I fell into a deep sleep I had a dream. I dreamt I was in a hotel room,
asleep, when the bed began to shake violently. I knew what was happening right
away. Having lived in California
in the 1980’s I was keenly aware of what an EQ felt like. Suddenly I was no
longer in bed, but high above San
Francisco bay, looking down on the Golden Gate Bridge.
As I watched it, it began to shudder, break apart, and fall into the waters
below. I continued to watch the devastation, seeing buildings collapse, and
masses of people trying to find shelter. Then a voice spoke out of the heavens,
a voice I had never heard before, a voice of great authority. “I will shake
this land from its foundations, such as the eyes of this generation has not seen. The world
will stand in awe, and tremble in fear, as even the very geography of this
nation will be transformed. My wrath is ready to be poured out, for sin has
overrun My temple.”
In my dream I began to weep, not due to the devastation I was seeing, but
due to the great power of the voice I was hearing. I woke up trembling, unable
to breathe, and tired as I was I could not go to sleep again.
Shortly before sunrise, my phone began to ring, and when I answered it, it
was my brother Daniel. “Are you awake?” he asked, “Yes”, I answered.
“I had a dream last night,” he continued, “it was a terrible dream. I dreamed
of a big EQ coming to America.”
When I told him I’d had the same dream, he was silent for some time then
said, “I’m coming over so we could pray.”
He had just arrived at my apartment, when my phone rang again. It was a
brother from 200 kilometers away, who is prophetically gifted, and has spoken
many words over me that have come to pass.
“Is this Mike?” when I answered in the affirmative, he said, “I had a dream
last night, and I felt I needed to call and tell you about it. I dreamed of a
terrible EQ in your country, I saw a big bridge that just collapsed I saw
destruction as I have never seen before. Does this mean anything to you?”
It took me some time to find something to say. I was speechless, and could
find no words. On the same night, three different people had the same dream,
with the same vivid details. Knowing that the brother had a prayer group that
met nightly, I asked him to remember America in their prayers whenever
they prayed, and he said he would. Before he hung up he said, “Mike I’ve had
many dreams in my life, the Lord willed it so, but none has scared me as the
dream I had last night. Only God can protect someone through something like
that, there is no other hope but to run to Him.”
No matter what may come upon this land, we know that God abides with His
faithful, keeping them, guiding them, and protecting them. Events will begin to
unfold upon this earth, that will make even the mightiest of men tremble in
fear, but knowing that we have a shelter from the storm, a sovereign God who
watches over us, fearlessly we press on faithful in all that He asks of us.
Psalm
91:7-11, "A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your
right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look,
and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my
refuge, even the Most High, your habitation, no evil shall befall you, nor
shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge
over you, to keep you in all your ways."
With love in Christ,
