We are entering the times that the prophets and righteous of old desired to see, and we have been chosen to live in them. In 1987, I was given a two-and-a-half day experience in which I was shown an unfolding panorama of world events that I wrote about in my book The Harvest. Many of these events started coming to pass within a couple of years of the vision, and the greatest of all that I was shown will soon be coming upon us.

          The greatest of all of these events was a harvest of believers into the...

     We cannot understand the ways of God without understanding His judgments, yet this may be the most neglected of biblical teachings in modern times. This is because many think of the judgments of God as condemnation and/or destruction. These are actually very rare consequences of His judgments, but the un-regenerated do tend to think in extremes.

     As I write this Word for the Week for the 50th week of the year, I thought about how 50 is the number of freedom, the Jubilee.

      I shared last week that water shortages after the West Coast disasters would cause the loss of many people, which will ultimately be worldwide. Preparing emergency sources of drinkable water is something all believers should do. Drinkable water will be one of the most valuable commodities in the world in the future.

      When on my last visit to the Northwest, after days of feeling a terrible grief for the region, I was then shown that after the eruptions and earthquakes in that region, the Northwest U.S. and Western Canada would become one of the most geologically...

     Will the Lord change His mind about the pending doom that is coming to our West Coast and the Central U.S.? He could, and we should hope that He does, but that is up to us. Repentance and intercession can change the Lord’s mind. We have examples of this under the Old Covenant, and we have “a better covenant.” We can appeal to God, and I believe we should every time we are shown something like this that is pending. However, just appealing to Him is not enough when there is judgment pending because of transgression—there must...
