After looking over Matthew Stephen's visional account below and after many years of personally warning the same message, I believe the 'Day of the Lord' could take all unaware over the March 19-23, Maundy Thursday,Fast of Esther, Purim, Good Friday, Sabbath and Easter Sunday long weekend?

Giving Him the glory, and John may the Lord continue to bless you and your ministry. Much love and thanks, Lauren

Fellow believers, although I have never been a strong adherent to personal dreams and visions, the one below, given to Matthew Stephen in the early A.M. on 2-21-08 rang very true for me because throughout the years of my internet ministry, I have been warning about an almost 'identical' pending judgment coming upon the United States that is given in a 100 verse discourse in two of the prophet Jeremiah's writing in Chapters 50 and 51 and the prophet Isaiah doing likewise in his 13th and 47th chapters.

These two books and four chapters give, in detail, the who, why and how's of a future United States demise and destruction. Telling how we will be surrounded on our east and west coasts and in the Gulf of Mexico, that from the north, over Canada our destroyers will come!

It is because we "have striven against the LORD" and broke His everlasting inheritance covenant, I Chronicles 16:14-19. Our nation was and is the chief architect and negotiator of our Presidents 'vision' of a 'Roadmap to Peace'. This vision manifested itself as Daniel 8:13-14's "vision of 2300 days".

The Presidents vision was supposed to have been announced on June 18, 2002 but a bus bombing on that day, in Jerusalem, killed 19 Israelis. Realizing his 'peace plan' would be a hard sell, the announcement of his vision of a Roadmap to "Peace" was postponed till June 24, 2002.

The significance of the day is not to be understated because IT IS EXACTLY 2300 DAYS from Yom Kippur, October 9, 2008, the day, I believe, that Yeshua, acting as our High Priest "cleanses the sanctuary", Daniel 8:14! If the President had announced this on any other day it would have had no effect in prophetic fulfillment!

As we have all come to learn, his 'vision' of dividing God's land has become to the world, the Controversy of Zion, as scripture said it would be, with him becoming the treacherous dealer who is dealing treacherously, putting not only his own fate but the fate of his nation on a prophetic timeline. Many times throughout the years AlQeada has warned of a 'sevenfold' simultaneous attack on our cities, while, myself having parroted this message but adding the fall of our President.

The bolding and underlying of the words are mine, take a look at Jeremiah 50:31 Behold, I am against thee, O you most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. 32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.

Another reason this vision rang true to me was the time he received it, that being 21 minutes into February 21st. The total 'blood moon' eclipse had reached totality just five hours before on the west coast and to those of you counting down the 2300 day vision, we know that when this "moon turned into blood" it fulfilled Joel's prophecy that reads,"2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

With the next total lunar eclipse not due till December 21, 2010, some two years and two months after the '2300 day vision' has counted out and been fulfilled, I would ask all to read Matthew's vision carefully to see if it quenches the spirit as to where Israel now is and how the United States sits today in the prophetic realm.

I believe the 'Day of the LORD' is right at the door and that we all should be getting our houses in order, with but a little over 'seven' months until that great shofar is blown, that I believe will end Daniel's vision and bring in the 'year of Jubilee' and Yeshua's Messianic Kingdom!

I was driving back from Spokane to my house in the Mountains. As I was driving, I was worshiping the Lord Jesus. I began to cry before Papa, because the Lord placed a special person on my heart whom I love dearly. As I lifted that person up unto the Lord, I desired the best for that person. I began to cry more. I told Papa God how much I love your Son, Jesus. All I could say was, "I love you so much Lord God Almighty." Then as I was driving along, a song I liked by James Taylor popped into my head. So, I began to sing it. The lyrics go like, "I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend," and the song goes on.

So, I got home and the fireplace was going. I took my guitar and just worshipped for two hours trying to have a breakthrough. It was a sweet time of worship unto the King. Then I took my Bible. I opened it, and fell on my face before the Lord God. I was in major battle. I got up and went into the kitchen to prepare to break bread . I came back to my special place and fell face down. All I could do was weep as He purified my heart; and Papa God melted my heart after two hours of crying before the Lord.

I was very weak. I went to get up, and by this time I was tired, so I said, "Lord I am going to bed." I had my computer on and I went over to turn it off and the Lord said, "No, I want to speak to you. I want you to write." So I took my Bible, and I had it open to one of the Old Testament prophets' books. I fell back down on my face and wept more. Needless to say I woke up quickly. The Lord God had my attention.

The Lord said, "Remember, My son, I have given my Angel charge over you. For what I am about to tell you, the time has now come. It is the appointed time. I looked at the clock. At that moment it was 12:21 A.M. and the room got very bright; and I looked and saw a man in white linen holding a sword. As I looked behind him, I could see a large body of water. Just then the angel of the Lord pointed with His hand, and there appeared before me the United States of America.

I saw four huge Angels: one standing on the West Coast, one standing on the East Coast, one on the Great Lakes, and one on the Gulf Coast. They had these huge swords in their hands. They held them out to each other, touching the tips of all four swords together. Then they pulled back and held up their swords in the air. Just then, I heard the voice of the Lord say:

"Son of man prophesy against the holy places and to the land of America. The Lord God said, "Tell America I am against her." At that moment I saw the righteous and the wicked running, all over America. I said, "Lord, why are they running?" He said, "They are running to hide from my Judgment." Just then I looked again, and I saw the man in white linen raise up His sword with two hands. I saw His waist. There was a gold band around Him.

He swung His sword in a 360 degree wave. Then He flew up in the air, and there were lightning bolts that came out from His face. I looked again at His face. It looked like lightning. Then He stuck His sword down into the middle of the White House, and it just blew apart, like it was no longer needed. The president was struck. I saw another 911 rise up that was seven times greater, and military troops were blocking all roads.

At that moment the Angel on the West Coast turned to face the Pacific Ocean. I saw four demon spirits rise up. The angel of the Lord commanded, "You must let go of the sea." The demons yelled out two times, "No! No!." Just then the Holy Angel of God Almighty, took His sword and struck the Pacific Ocean. Then the sea rose up hundreds of feet in the air. The demons screamed, out and the Angel of the Lord struck them and they disappeared. The sea was rapidly coming towards the West Coast, and went towards many other countries.

Then I looked at the Angel that struck the sea, and I wept and said, "The souls of men! Is there not another way?" The Lord God said, "My son, they would not repent of their wicked ways." I said, "Lord, what about the righteous?" He said, "I have told them to get out, and many did not listen. Many of them love their homes and their lifestyle more than Me.

They wanted all the comforts, just like the world; and when I warned them they kept going their simple way. They want to take their wealth with them, but they refuse to give it up for Me. Just like Lot and all the children of Israel, all they own will be required of them. They all died, and only Lot and his two daughters came out alive, with just the clothes on their backs. This My son, is how it will be for many."

Just then I looked at the Angel standing over by the Great Lakes. He pointed over to me, and said, "You must strike the Great Lakes and tell them to repent. The time is at hand, and the time is running out. You must hurry." I fell down again and wept. I became so weak, I just trembled. I heard this voice say, "My son, I love you. I know your heart, but you must rise up."

Then this hand touched me and stood me up, but I fell back down and wept more. I cried out, "Lord God Almighty, please save these people." He said, "My son stand up. I will be with you. You must warn these people." I wept more and said, "Lord, I am incapable and I am nobody. Who am I, Lord that you should call upon me?" He said, "Rise up." "Very well Lord, I will obey even to the point of death. I love you so much."

Just then the Angel I saw at first with the gold band around His waist pointed up in the air. There were four Angels flying down out of heaven, with their swords extended out in front of them. The first Angel struck the earth, and America just quaked. The second struck this huge massive oil/gas tank, and fires started up all over the country. The third struck the air, and thousands of tornadoes started up all over the country at the same time.

There were droughts and floods all over. All the crops were destroyed, and millions of homes were wiped out. The fourth one struck all the government buildings, and the whole economic wealth fell to the ground and burned up, and many politicians fell over and died. I saw the Military get attacked and the Pacific fleet get hit.

Then the Angel at the Gulf Coast said to me, "Come closer, tell the people at the Gulf Coast and Louisiana that it will be ten time worse than Katrina." Then the Angel struck the Gulf Coast and people were being sucked out to sea - - - everyone that lives there.

As I looked to the East Coast I saw the Angel strike the sea. Just then twelve eroding hurricanes appeared up and down the East Coast, and the coast line dropped off into the Atlantic Ocean from twenty miles to sixty miles inland .

The Lord God Almighty said, "Disaster has come upon the whole land. Oh America, you have refused to love the truth. Therefore the Lord God Almighty has sent forth a decree of judgment upon you, America. For the sins of America have reached the heavens. Woe, Woe, unto you America. Because you have not repented, I will not hold back my Judgment, any longer.

This is the hour. The time has come. You, America have shed innocent blood; and now, even now, I have sent My death Angel upon you. I have given My command. Oh Angel of My Judgment, go descend upon her, bring upon her all the innocent blood that she has slain. Tell America, I will not turn back my Judgment." Then this vision ended. Around 4:30 A.M. I saw many other things, but that is it for now. The vision came to a end.

Thank you for reading Matthew's vision, A couple of other 'witnesses' to Daniel's 2300 day vision, are these 'dual chronologies' that both count out on and into October 9, 2008 linked here, that may give you more insight into the urgency of the hour?
