> *In Isaiah's prophecy, the city under judgment is cast into

> *1. In one hour, God is going to change the whole world.*

> *You well remember that when the Twin Towers were destroyed, help

> *Once this judgment strikes, it will devastate the economy. Rich
> merchants will stand by watching in torment, weeping and mourning,
> as they face bankruptcy. In an instant, all the wealth they
> amassed will be reduced to nothing. John describes the scene: The

> saying, Alas, alas that great city For in one hour so great riches
> is come to nought? (Revelation 18:15-17).*

> Isaiah writes, There shall be the shaking as of an olive tree?

> The image is of God shaking an olive tree after it has been picked

> *In the midst of the terrible shaking, a song will be heard, and

> part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous
> [One]? (Isaiah 24:15-16).*
> *A holy remnant is going to awaken, and a song will be born in the

> fear or agony, but in joyful praise to the Lord.*
> *How will this happen, you ask? In one hour, God is going to

> his Word, avoiding prayer, perhaps even contemplating divorce.
> Suddenly, their souls will
> be flooded with pangs of remorse and godly sorrow. And many will

> Indonesia, Africa and all parts of the earth a glorious song will

> *All around the world, the Lord's people are going to feast on his

> And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast

> (25:7) Right now, in this time of prosperity, the world's masses
> seem to be covered with a veil, unable to see the truth of Jesus
> Christ. But when God rises up to shake the world through judgment,
> the shrouds covering the minds of billions will be cast aside. The

>
> *3. In one hour, God is going to change us as individuals.*

> *The sudden judgment that comes will not be a respecter of anyone.
> Rather, it is going to touch all who are within the realm of its

Since I went through his Teen Challeng program (twice) when I was a VERY troubled youth, I do know a bit about him. If this can't be substantiated by him, then he didn't say it. However, it is always good to be aware that God is in the midst of things and has a plan... it may not be what we think it is, but He still has a plan.
Blessings to you,
Jonathan

Read every thing over ..
Included Jim and Jons stuff.
J and J you did a lot of homework .. I guess it is sage to say maybe Mr Wilkerson did not right this. How ever , there were books like The Death of Money, and a few others I wish I still had in my library that were written and published around the same era.
No doubt we are in crisis ...
Me I m going out to get those book, never realized David wrote more that Cross and Switch lol ...
I wonder some times how much of what we see is staged, just to usher in the new Era or what did Bush call it NWO ...
I do have a few more thoughts on the subject, but I shall have to comb through my library first
