. . . it's right there at the beginning, the great recession affecting every wage earner in the world, "just a few fat flourishing years", and then, beginning with Germany, then moving to Japan, then to the US. Use the few years you have to get ready . . .
And this did not happen within the next several years from when he said this.
This "vision" was prophesied to be fulfilled in a matter of a few years according to DW.
Why ignore that?
So glad you answered!
Ok, now let me teach you something here.
Firstly, what you have to understand is that while the Lord gives His prophets the ability to see future events, He very rarely gives them the ability to see exactly
when those events will be fulfilled, and this was true of the entire New Testament church, including the apostles. The NT letters make it clear beyond question that they believed the Lord was returning in
their time; every one of them. I can cite numerous verses for you, but I'm guessing you know what I am talking about. They unquestionably believed the Day was at hand.
The Lord's reasoning for doing this is simple. He does not want His people slacking off simply because the events prophesied are NOT going to happen in their time. So He conceals the actual time of their fulfillment until such time as it would actually be beneficial to them to know things will not be happening quickly.
The same is true of modern prophets. I've found the real ones know accurately
what is going to happen, but they rarely know when, and in their zeal for the Lord and their faith in the prophetic word, they do the same thing the apostles did; they interpret them to be happening sooner than what they actually are.
Secondly, about Wilkerson's statements, his words were "I saw in my vision, at first a few more fat, flourishing years and then an economic recession that will effect the lifestyle of every wage earner
in the world." Now, this could have been him doing what I was describing above, but it could also have been a prophetic reference to the time we are living in right now. In other words, he was predicting the economic conditions that would precede the beginning of the great recession that would effect the economies of the entire world.
He then warns the church to use the next few years to prepare for financial crisis and to get their houses in order because hard times are coming. Now, this actually was fulfilled to some extent. I don't know if you were around then, but in 1986, the US economy did suffer a crash. Many committed suicide. The US government had to institute changes to keep the Dow from losing too much money too quickly, and this became a stop gap measure propping the entire debt system up. We still have that debt system in place today, and it is larger than ever, which means the bubble is going to burst at some point. The question is simply when.
Thirdly, and this relates back to what I was saying about timing, many in the prophetic community believe Trump was a suspension of the prophesies regarding the economic crash because the Lord was honoring those who had been praying for this nation, and therefore giving us one more period of grace before judgment falls upon the nation. I personally believe this myself, as this is what was prophesied concerning him. But this is the same principle as took place with Niniveh's judgment. Jonah prophesied their judgment, and it did indeed come to pass. But because they repented, that judgment was postponed for something like 150 years (I'd have to look. Could have been less).
I believe the same has occurred with the US in our time, but that grace is eventually going to come to an end. My personal belief is that if he gets reelected, we may have four more good years left. Once he leaves office, all bets are off, and imo it is only a matter of time.
Not looking to go around and around with you again, marks. Too much going on. Just thought I'd post to answer your question since you were asking.
God bless
