“He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding,”   Daniel 2:21.

I was sitting and thinking about what the world would be like a year from now.  I wondered if the darkness would spread around the world, as I knew it would.  We know that things seem to be on the rise with terrorism and other issues, but we also need to know that God himself is and will be a tower to those who come to him.

Understand that prophecy often speaks of things that are yet to come.  People need to know that those things concerning a breach upon our shores and the other events mentioned in this word, are still a ways off, and yet, the time frame may be closer than we may think.

There is always a balance in a word such as this one, for we see God’s own protected under his wings, even in the seriousness of the events that are coming.  People often ask me if our prayers can divert these things from coming, and while this is true, a time has come where the pendulum has begun to swing and its course is set.

I wanted to wait before I sent this out, and now the Lord released me to do that.

He said,

“There will be a disruption in the process.  The world as you know it will change.  A republican won’t be elected.

For the system will be broken.  Woe to those who make plans about these things.  For you don’t know which way the tide will be turning.  

A war will break out and it will be a civil one.  For the days of judgment have begun.  The entire nation will be in turmoil.

There will be shooting and looting in many of the major cities, and brother will hate brother.  The colors of the flag will fade on that day.  And then the dust will settle; and then the war of wars will begin on another shore.

On that day when you open the curtains of your home, the land will be filled with impending doom.  But My light will be shed abroad.  My children will increase in wisdom on that day.

There will be starvation and the poor will out number the rich.  And when all seems to be going in this direction, a quietness spreads over the nation; and then the shores are breached.

But many will come to know Me on that day.  

As some flee to the deserts and the rocks, many will find shelter under My wings.  Your shelter will not be a building.  Your shelter will not be a church.  Your shelter will not be with guns and ammo.  Your shelter will not be in your strength, but in Mine alone.”
