An old woman of 90 from Valdres in Norway had a
vision from God in 1968. The evangelist Emanuel
Minos had meetings (services) where she lived. He
had the opportunity to meet her, and she told him
what she had seen. He wrote it down, but thought
it to be so unintelligible that he put it in a
drawer. Now, almost 30 years later, he understands
he has to share the vision with others.
The woman from Valdres was a very alert, reliable,
awake and credible Christian, with a good
reputation among all who knew her. This is what
she saw:
"I saw the time just before the coming of Jesus
and the outbreak of the Third World War. I saw the
events with my natural eyes. I saw the world like
a kind of a globe and saw Europe, land by land. I
saw Scandinavia. I saw Norway. I saw certain
things that would take place just before the
return of Jesus, and just before the last calamity
happens, a calamity the likes of which we have
never before experienced.
She mentioned four waves:
1. "First before Jesus comes and before the Third
World War breaks out there will be a ‘détente’
like we have never had before. There will be peace
between the super powers in the east and the west,
and there will be a long peace. (Remember, that
this was in 1968 when the cold war was at its
highest. E. Minos) In this period of peace there
will be disarmament in many countries, also in
Norway and we are not prepared when it (the war)
comes. The Third World War will begin in a way no
one would have anticipated - and from an
unexpected place.
2. "A lukewarmness without parallel will take hold
of the Christians, a falling away from true,
living Christianity. Christians will not be open
for penetrating preaching. They will not, like in
earlier times, want to hear of sin and grace, law
and gospel, repentance and restoration. There will
come a substitute instead: prosperity (happiness)
Christianity.
"The important thing will be to have success, to
be something; to have material things, things that
God never promised us in this way. Churches and
prayer houses will be emptier and emptier. Instead
of the preaching we have been used to for
generations -like, to take your cross up and
follow Jesus, - entertainment, art and culture
will invade the churches where there should have
been gatherings for repentance and revival. This
will increase markedly just before the return of
Jesus.
3. "There will be a moral disintegration that old
Norway has never experienced the likes of. People
will live together like married without being
married. (I do not believe the concept
‘co-habitor’? existed in 1968 - E. Minos.) Much
uncleanness before marriage, and much infidelity
in marriage will become the natural (the common),
and it will be justified from every angle. It will
even enter Christian circles and we pet it - even
sin against nature. Just before Jesus return there
will be TV- programs like we have never
experienced. (TV had just arrived in Norway in
1968. E. Minos)
"TV will be filled with such horrible violence
that it teaches people to murder and destroy each
other, and it will be unsafe in our streets.
People will copy what they see. There will not be
only one ‘station’ on TV, it will be filled with
‘stations.’ (She did not know the word ‘channel’
which we use today. Therefore she called them
stations. E. Minos.) TV will be just like the
radio where we have many ‘stations,’ and it will
be filled with violence. People will use it for
entertainment. We will see terrible scenes of
murder and destruction one of the other, and this
will spread in society. Sex scenes will also be
shown on the screen, the most intimate things that
takes place in a marriage." (I protested and said,
we have a paragraph that forbids this kind of
thing. E. Minos.) There the old woman said: "It
will happen, and you will see it. All we have had
before will be broken down, and the most indecent
things will pass before our eyes."
4. "People from poor countries will stream to
Europe. (In 1968 there was no such thing as
immigration. E. Minos.) They will also come to
Scandinavia - and Norway. There will be so many of
them that people will begin to dislike them and
become hard with them. They will be treated like
the Jews before the Second World War. Then the
full measure of our sins will have been reached (I
protested at the issue of immigration. I did not
understand it at the time. E. Minos.)
The tears streamed from the old woman’s eyes down
her cheeks. "I will not see it, but you will. Then
suddenly, Jesus will come and the Third World War
breaks out. It will be a short war." (She saw it
in the vision.)
"All that I have seen of war before is only
child’s play compared to this one, and it will be
ended with a nuclear atom bomb. The air will be so
polluted that one cannot draw one’s breath. It
will cover several continents, America, Japan,
Australia and the wealthy nations. The water will
be ruined (contaminated?). We can no longer till
the soil. The result will be that only a remnant
will remain. The remnant in the wealthy countries
will try to flee to the poor countries, but they
will be as hard on us as we were on them.
"I am so glad that I will not see it, but when the
time draws near, you must take courage and tell
this. I have received it from God, and nothing of
it goes against what the Bible tells.
"The one who has his sin forgiven and has Jesus as
Savior and Lord, is safe."
