INTERESTING FOREBODING BY WILFORD WOODRUFF

"Great calamities and disasters caused by nature are predicted to come upon the earth beginning at the time when the missionaries are called home and the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. It appears that these disasters have already begun but will be sent by God with greatly increased intensity at that time. These judgments can be classed under three general headings:

1. Pestilences.
A. A desolating sickness is to cover the United States.
B. It will come rapidly and will cause people to lie by the hundreds and thousands unburied.
C. The sickness will come mainly upon the wicked, but some of the saints who are righteous will also suffer and die.
D. Pestilence will continue to be poured out, from time to time "until the earth is empty."

2. Famines
A. The Lord has said that a great hail storm will destroy the crops of the earth. Famines may also be caused by the changing of seasons (which will affect growing periods), and by lack of water.
B. A serious lack of water already exists in the United States. Government specialists predict that by 1970 the problem of water shortage will be of disaster proportions in many areas.
C. Water pollution is also a serious problem and is increasing in intensity. The purification processes in use today do not remove all dangerous elements from the water supply and some diseases have already been found to have been transported through the culinary water supply.

3. Earthquakes, Floods, Tidal Waves, Storms, etc.
A. Prophecies say that New York will be destroyed by earthquake, Albany by fire, Boston by tidal wave, and that many other cities on the American continent will be destroyed or left desolate.
B. Earthquakes are increasing in number and intensity. They are happening frequently in the United States. They are far more destructive than atomic bombs.
C. Although the manner of its destruction has not been revealed, Jackson County, Missouri, the site for the New Jerusalem, is to be swept clean of its inhabitants.

The Saints will suffer from these calamities to a degree, but will, in general, escape the worst of these disasters to the extent that they are righteous." (Prophecy, Key to the Future, Duane S. Crowther)
