THE FEMA CAMP ROUNDUP

 So, a decade ago, I saw a statement that the individual food storage of the Saints would be called in and turned over to the “authorities”.  I also saw accounts that we were turned over to the authorities as dissidents.  Right now, we have a “My body, my choice” sign with a huge hypodermic needle on it sitting in our front window.  We are considered radicals and dissidents by any standard.  We love to stick a finger in the eye of the official gubmint narrative.

When in Montana, I saw a vision of our family being rounded up by the multi-agency Fusion Center people who were sent to liquidate those who refused to comply.  It WILL happen.  Here are some of the tactics.

FEMA told Pastors they needed to preach Subservience to Authorities in preparation for Roundups.

The word “quarantine” is not being used.  Instead, it is called “social distancing.” 

Detention camps have been renamed as “community centers” to give them a friendly, warm veneer.

Pastors were told that in the event of an outbreak or a bio-terrorist attack, there would be a mass vaccination program.  They would have a nationwide program called “Pills in People’s Palm in 48 hours.”  The Pastors were told that Walmart had been designated as the central outlet of this procedure.

Many Pastors were completely unaware of the diabolic motivations behind he government’s true purpose and were offered incentives to become volunteers, such as preferential treatment and first access for themselves and their families, to vaccines and food shipments in times of emergency.

These Pastors were told:

1. Which roads were to be closed off after martial law was declared had already been mapped out.

2. Founding Fathers and Homeschoolers were Terrorists

3. State and Federal Agency Training Manuals will be supplied to Identify Potential Terrorists.  A Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Law Enforcement pamphlet gives the public characteristics to identify terrorists that include: buying baby formula, beer, wearing Levi jeans, carrying identifying documents like a drivers license and traveling with women or children.

4. Binoculars, video cameras, notebooks are to be classified as Terrorist Tools

5. A Phoenix FBI Manual states that Defenders of US Constitution are Potential Terrorists.

6. FBI Warns the Nation to be on the Lookout for People who read Almanacs

7. More than 50,000 private sector executives have been recruited by FEMA to serve as deputy FBI informants under the Infragard program.

8. There are more than 75,000 preachers serving FEMA in the Clergy Response Teams.

9. Internal FEMA documents reveal that the majority of America’s pastors now serve as agents of the shadow government.  They are even instructed on how and what to preach.

10. Cable TV workers, Firefighters, Truck Drivers, Maid Services, and hundreds of other professions are now on the government’s payroll as informants.

If Romans, Chapter 13, mandates that we obey civil government, what are we to do if those mandates would force us to break God’s laws?

Romans 13: The Believer and Civil Government

This chapter contains matter that is of the greatest importance, but that fact is rarely recognized.

To Whom is the Epistle of Romans Addressed?

In studying this chapter it is necessary to remember that the Epistle is addressed to professed followers of the Lord.

“Behold, you are called a Believer (Iudean – Judean – NOT “Jew”), and rest in the law, and make your boast of God, and know His will.”  Romans 2:17,18

“Know ye not, brethren (for I speak to them that know the law).”  Romans 7:1

“It is a mistake, therefore, to suppose that this chapter was designed to set forth the duties of earthly rulers, or as a treatise on civil government, or on the relation that the state should occupy to the church.  Since it is addressed to professed Christians, it is evident that its object is simply to tell them how they ought to behave towards the governments under which they live.”  Waggoner on Romans, Glad Tidings Publishing, p 13.184

All Power is From God

It is absolutely true, without exception, that all power is from God.

“God has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God.”  Psalm 62:11

“In Him we live and move and are.”  Acts 17:28

It can as truly be said of every individual as of governments, that they are ordained, or appointed, of God.  He has a plan for everyone’s life.  The power with which the scoffer blasphemes God is as much from God as is the power with which the Christian serves him.

1 Let every soul be subject to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except under God.  And the authorities that be are ordained (literally:  appointed) by God.

Let no one entertain the idea that this word “ordained” necessarily implies the imparting of some spiritual power.  It means nothing more than appointed or ordered, which we can find in the margin.  The Greek word from which it is rendered is found in Acts 28:23, where we read that the Believers (Judeans) in Rome appointed a day for Paul to tell them about the gospel.  It could as well be said that they ”ordained” a day for him.

The “higher powers” are not above the Most High.

“Wisdom and might are His; and He changes the times and the seasons; he removes kings, and sets up kings.”  Dan 2:20,21

The Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever He will.”  Dan 4:32

2 Whosoever therefore resist the authority, resists God’s mandate; and they that resist shall receive to themselves judgment (NOT “damnation”),

This is a warning against rebellion and insurrection.  It is God who removes kings as well as sets them up.  Therefore whoever presumes to remove a king is assuming God’s prerogative.  It is as though he knew better than God when the government should be altered.  They are setting themselves against God by seeking to overthrow His order.  They are putting themselves ahead of God.

It is worthwhile to remember that Christ was condemned on a political charge, and for political reasons, yet He made no resistance although He showed that He had power to do so.  See John 18:5-11; Matt. 26:51-53

It may be said that Christ knew that His hour had come.  True, but He did not resist at previous times.  He continually committed Himself into the hands of the Father.  That is an example for His followers.  If they are submissive in God’s hands, they can suffer no indignity or oppression that God does not appoint or allow; no injury can be done to them before their hour comes.  It is easier to profess faith in Christ than to show real faith by following His example.

Saul had been anointed king of Israel by command of God; but had afterwards been rejected because of his reckless course.  Then David was anointed king in his stead.  Saul was jealous of David and sought to kill him.  David did not resist, but fled.  More than once Saul was within David’s power, but David would not lift up a hand against him.  If there is any excuse for resisting a ruler, David had it.

Yet when urged even to consent to allow another to kill Saul, David said:

“Destroy him not; for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord’s anointed, and be guiltless? . . . As the Lord lives, the Lord shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.  The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the Lord’s anointed.”  1 Samuel 26:9-11

Folks, we need to be wise as serpents; harmless as doves.

THE GENTILES (LATTER-DAY SAINTS) WOULD ATTEMPT TO STRING UP CHRIST IF HE CAME TODAY

I have been saying for some time that we (as a group) are way off track.  Too many Sabbath-day step counters and not enough people that have the law written in their hearts, who have a healthy dose of discernment.  People, quite frankly, that are too dense to figure out that this whole shot thing is a set-up.  A specific few get it - but for the most part, we are clueless.  And I have to say it is damned disappointing....

Here is the quote that got me spun up - and it matches perfectly with Joseph's last dream of the ruffians in the barn:

 

BEAR PAWS ON MORE THAN ENGLAND?

 Here is the quote that has all of us watchers worried right now:

Speaking about Russia brings to mind a prophecy which is accredited to the Prophet Joseph Smith, concerning this country. Elder Jesse W. Fox, Sr., received the narration from Father Taylor, the father of the late President John Taylor. The old gentleman said that at one time the Prophet Joseph Smith was in his house conversing about the Battle of Waterloo, in which Father Taylor had taken part. Suddenly the Prophet turned and said, “Father Taylor, you will live to see, though I will not, greater battles than that of Waterloo. The slave question will cause a division between the North and the South, and in these wars greater battles than Waterloo will occur. But,” he continued, with emphasis, “when the great bear (Russia) lays her paw on the lion (England) the winding up scene is not far distant.”

JOSEPH AND THE COAT OF MANY COLORS - JOSEPHUS' TAKE ON IT

 Mrs. Wood Zone often finds much great material.  Probably 20% of this blog is likely indirectly attributable to her - but she loves me more for the arcane stuff I dig up, than for my dashing good looks or my amazing smooching skilz....

Here is one that I have to give her credit for - and he is a gem.  I believe he teaches Religion at the UofU.  He is pretty dynamic and loaded with good material and he is freaking funny to watch with the facial expressions and hand waving while he talks.  I think he must be part Italiano...

Enjoy!  He has a ton of material and really opens stuff up.

DID THE PRIESTHOOD GET CANCELLED IN 1834?!? THE LONG ROAD TO APOSTASY

 So, there is an entire shitshow floating around out there trying to discredit the Church at a minimum from 1844 and on.  Most of it is centered around anything that will shoot down polygamy some of the most ardent supporters of this view are the DoC (Doctrine of Christ - aka Denver Snufferites) crowd.  Some of the tactic or most of it is to discredit Brigham Young (and, based on many things he had to say, it is possible to develop cracks in the veneer of him and what the Church wants to project about him and the role of PS&R).  I am not a raging fan of him (like I am of Benson and others), but I think the good he did far outweighs any bad he did.  He sits squarely in the group that President Trump sits in, as well as myself.  A little flappy-lipped and a few mean things to say on socialist media?  Yep.  But, overall - not rotten to the core.  We all have our warts, so we need to provide a little slack to others for their warts without excusing gross wickedness.

I have a few mentors here in the area that I use to gage myself against.  One clearly is not currently a big post-1844 fan, but is a monster Book of Mormon supporter and a scientist and seeker of truth.  A true Saint in every sense of the word.  His character is unimpeachable.  I do not think he is a current TR holder, nor is he active in the sense of church attendance.  He does not count his steps on the Sabbath....  The other is not a great scriptorian at all - but boy is he close to the Spirit and can really nail things that are off.  He is a "do it by the book" kind of Mormon, including "get the injection to follow the prophet" at any cost - though I think he has buyer's remorse on that one....  His wife is much like by wife - kind of a Molly, and she got the injection to be a "good" Mormon and because they are aged and have an at-risk person in their household.  This fellow would make a good Stake Patriarch at some point.  Come to think of it, both guys would make great Patriarchs.  I would be happy to go to either for a prophetic and inspired blessing.

So, I have tried to get traction with the one who says the Church is out of the way since 1844 by reminding him that he is a polygamist for having been sealed to two women at different times due to circumstances (this mirrors what happened to my dad when my mother died).  But, there are concerns over how the Priesthood was passed down since something in 1834 (the Church coming under condemnation, I think as laid out in the D&C).  This concern also spills over into the efficacy of the rites as learned in the Temple.  Quite frankly, as I have watched faith erode, it will eventually lead to criticisms of the Book of Mormon and eventually of Christ and then God.  I have watched some slow erosions of base tenets in some folks, and I have witnessed catastrophic landslides in personal testimonies in others.  It is fascinating to watch - from a human experience standpoint.  Sad from an eternal perspective and standpoint.

How do you combat that than to offer anecdotal evidences, such as - "Which Church has fulfilled the command to take the gospel to every nation, kindred, tongue and people?".  There is only one that was capable (and had the keys to do so).  The LDS church.  Which one experienced the most miracles?  Yep.  Mostly before the rejection of polygamy before 1890.  The minute we combined with Babylon, and leaned to our own understanding and relied upon the arm of flesh, we lost much of our collective power.  And we continue to do so to this day with each incremental downward step towards apostasy (read Jan 20th, 2020...).  I cannot name one person that I know personally who may have had a Three Nephites experience in my generation - while there are numerous people who had those experiences back in the day.  These are all anecdotal assurances that things, while not perfect, remained with the general body of the Saints.

I had one more monster witness to this on Sunday evening.  I went with my "by the book" friend over to another friend's house to discuss her windmill project and to visit and introduce the two friends to each other.  In the course of the evening, he bore testimony about how he joined the Church pushing 50 years ago.  He then was discussing his testimony of genealogy and he talked about one line he had that I believe is related to Joseph Smith.  I recognized Joseph's grandma's name.  He related that he was alone in a genealogical library and the Spirit whispered that he must look on a certain micro-fiche roll.  He went and got it and proceeded to scroll through it.  For those who have done it, the rolls can be huge.  He was alone in the room - but suddenly felt a presence standing behind him.  Knowing everyone else had gone home and he was alone, he was concerned and did not want to turn around to acknowledge his visitor at first (possibly out of fear that he was in some kind of danger from an unannounced presence).  Finally, he did turn around and saw the person he was looking for on the micro-fiche, dressed in 1700's garb.  He had died at sea in the Mediterranean and left a wife, etc.  My friend had been guided to find his name (his personal family records had messed his name up, so no one could nail him down easily in the official parish records - plus the burial at sea and no epitaph probably contributed to the confusion as to his real identity).  So, the heavenly visitor was there to set the record straight with my friend, his progeny.  After he identified himself on the micro-fiche records, the heavenly visitor set about to identify his wife elsewhere on the roll of microfilm.  After the facts were set straight, the visitor left the room.  Like the visit by my mom and son to my dad, they were not on the ground, but were between 1-2 feet off the ground.  In my personal experience, it is interesting to note that my mom (being endowed) and my son who died of SIDS were not in street clothes, but dressed in white robes - commensurate with their status.

After hearing this story from my friend, it immediately struck me the illogical nature of the claims against the Priesthood and modern temple ordinances made by many in the DoC movement.  It would make ZERO sense for a being from the other side to literally haunt his first ancestor to join the Church in order to get his work done, had the work not had the stamp and seal of approval of God or would have meant nothing due to the endowment being either garbage, corrupted or having no authority.  That the temple ordinances including sealings would not be valid at least back in the early 70's.  Otherwise, why would this have occurred?

To the most skeptical out there, there would be several possible explanations:

• my friend was delusional
• if the skeptic has any belief in anything spiritual, they could say he was deceived by an evil spirit impersonating the dead ancestor.
• he had something to gain by making up this story about his ancestor.  Money, prestige, fame, etc.

The problem here is that the Spirit of the Lord was there in spades, as he relayed his sacred experience.  It was a feast for everyone in the room.  So, the skeptic would have to somehow negate the experiences of my wife, my female friend and my own.  We are all imperfect - but some of the best people I know.

So, for the naysayer - the burden of proof in an attempt to discredit this and many other first hand experiences is quite high.  I experienced this attempt at discreditation of sacred and powerful experiences when I got home from my mission and I had family members ask if I just had intense dreams or other experiences to explain away what I experienced.  It was a blow to me to realize how little faith many had and I withdrew from them in large part.  I never throw pearls before the wicked (the blog being the exception - for some who come here to naysay).

So, I encouraged my one friend to share his experience with my other friend who is struggling with his gospel perspective.  

My concern is that people are ignorant of the many stories in the Church that outline similar experiences by people who have proven their character over time.  One such treasure trove is in my favorite book, Life Everlasting by Duane S. Crowther.   Because their (people of the DoC group, etc) knowledge of contemporary miracles and manifestations of power is limited, they can be dismissive of other claims within the body of the Saints and then the erosion of tenets and beliefs begins as the wolves among the flock throw either half-truths out there or even outright lies or conjecture which is impossible to prove either way after so much time (I call it poo flinging).  It is a slippery slope that ends in much sorrow and difficulty for those without the gift of discernment required to avoid the pitfalls of apostasy. 

JOSEPH AND THE COAT OF MANY COLORS - THE PRIESTHOOD GARMENT

 This happens to be fascinating to me and I have wanted to do something for some time.  My money is on the garment that is called "the coat of many colors", to be the very garment given to Adam in the Garden of Eden and passed down to all of the birthright sons.  Often, this was not the first-born son due to the frequent phenomenon of them selling themselves and their spiritual futures for a mess of pottage.  And it was passed on down the line to one that would bear the burden of covenant keeping.

Thus the reason that the older brothers were enraged with Joseph (other than he may have been a little cocky and spoiled by his doting father).  But her merited the garment that represented his birth right.  This is the reason it was taken from him by his brothers in a fit of jealousy and possibly rage.  At least they had enough conscience to pluck him from the pit and spare his life (although, that is kind of questionable....).

God always turns a bad into a good.  We need to always be cognizant of that in our lives and expect it!

Here is the story that I snagged from a FB post:

Teachings of Jesus Christ

Mfarcht 494i3 0at ch01a227:531 PMe  · 

What did Joseph of Egypt’s coat look like? Why is it described as having many colors? There’s no way to know for sure. There are many theories and at the end of the day, all we can do is make an educated guess. In this light let us consider a paper in the BYU Scholarly Archive discussing ancient Christian burials in Egypt. In the article, it details the white woolen undergarments worn by Christian mummies which have distinct markings, one over each breast, and one over the right thigh just above the knee, as well as an embroidered slit across the navel.

Over these garments, the mummies are wearing several layers of robes. Some of the robes are white with white ribbons gathered into a knot across the right or left shoulders. According to the article, in the ancient Egyptian tradition, these shoulder knots represented priestly authority. It’s also interesting to consider Hugh Nibley’s scholarship on Egyptian religious rites in The Temple and the Cosmos in which he explains that the ancient Egyptians performed a temple ceremony that mirrors the modern-day Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint temple ceremony in every respect.

Now we come to the part of this article that’s even more relevant to our original question. Aside from the caps worn on the heads of the mummies, the final articles of clothing discovered were layers of brightly colored robes, intricately woven with scenes depicting the creation, the Garden of Eden, the tree of life and so forth. Other robes had specific purple markings indicating royal status in the afterlife. Some mummies wore as many as 26 layers of garments and robes! And it’s interesting to note that both the women and men were dressed in exactly the same manner.

Given that as a birthright son of the Abrahamic covenant, Joseph would have inherited the priesthood authority of a high priest, it stands to reason he would have acquired the ceremonial robes that accompanied his position. Is it possible that layers of robes would have been impractical in nomadic life and all the images of the temple ceremony, the symbols, and indications of priestly authority discovered on the many layers of these ancient Egyptian Christian tombs, were included on one single article of clothing that Joseph wore, namely a robe or coat of many colors?

But what was ultimately the brightest color on Joseph’s many-colored robe? The goat’s blood that was shed in sacrifice to cover the sins of his brethren. Just as Joseph was the scapegoat, so too is the blood of Christ the ultimate covering that allows us to partake of the goodness, power, and grace of God through priesthood covenants and ordinances. Without the power and presence of Jesus Christ, these rites and symbols are meaningless. Without the sacrifice of God’s son, all Joseph would have had was a brightly colored coat.

So, in the end, whatever the colors on Joseph’s coat were, the most important color was and is bright red.

GEORGE WASHINGTON’S VISION

 Always good to go back and re-visit this stuff:

The Revolutionary War, the Westward expansion, the Civil War, and WWIII were ALL prophesied to GEORGE WASHINGTON in this vision. 

The following account is taken from a reprint published in the National Tribune, Volume 4, No. 12, December 1880. It has been printed and reprinted many times in books, magazines and in pamphlet form. It was originally published by Wesley Bradshaw. 

"The last time I ever saw Anthony Sherman was on the fourth of July,

1859, in Independence Square. He was then ninety-nine years old, and becoming very feeble. But though so old, his dimming eyes rekindled as he gazed upon Independence Hall which he had come to look upon once more before he was gathered home.

“Let us go into the hall,” he said. “I want to tell you an incident of 

Washington’s life—one which no one alone knows of except myself; and, if you live, you will before long see it verified. Mark the prediction, you will see it verified."

~ George Washington's Vision / Prophecy:  Three great perils will come upon the Republic (U.S.). 

Note: The "THIRD PERIL" of the future is explained further in parentheses and brackets. 

- 1777/1778.  A vision received by George Washington.

The father of our country, George Washington, was a man of prayer.  Many of us have read of how he went to the thicket many times to pray during the winter his army was at Valley Forge.  However, little publicity has been given to the vision and prophecy he received at that time.

The account of this vision was given in 1859 by a soldier (99 year old man, mentioned above).  He gave it to a writer, Wesley Bradshaw, who published it.  In the vision God revealed to George Washington that three great perils would come upon the Republic.  He was given to know that America was going through the first peril at that time.  The old soldier who told the story of the vision said the nation would soon see [soon after 1859] the account verified by the second peril descending upon the land.

We give the account here as printed in the U.S. war veterans paper The National Tribune, in December, 1880.  The National Tribune became, "The Stars and Stripes", and this article was reprinted in that publication December 21, 1850.

~ Preface

"I do not know whether it is owing to the anxiety of my mind, or what, but this afternoon, as I was sitting at this table engaging in preparing a dispatch, something in the apartment seemed to disturb me.  Looking up, I beheld standing opposite to me a singularly beautiful being.  So astonished was I, for I had given strict orders not to be disturbed that it was some moments before I found language to inquire the cause of the visit.  A second, a third, and even a fourth time did I repeat my question, but received no answer from my mysterious visitor except a slight raising of the eyes.

By this time I felt strange sensations spreading through me.  I would have risen but the riveted gaze of the being before me rendered volition impossible.  I assayed once more to speak, but my tongue became useless, as if paralyzed.  A new influence, mysterious, potent, irresistible, took possession of me.  All I could do was to gaze steadily , vacantly at my unknown visitor.

Gradually the surrounds atmosphere seemed to fill with sensations, and grew luminous.  Everything about me seemed to rarefy, the mysterious visitor also becoming more airy and yet more distinct to my sight than before.  I began to feel as one dying, or rather to experience the sensations I sometimes imagine accompaning death.  I did not think, I did not reason, I did not move.  All were alike impossible.  I was only conscious of gazing fixedly, vacantly on my companion.

~ The introductory part of the Vision

Presently I heard a voice say, "Son of the Republic, look and learn,' while at the same time my visitor extended an arm eastward [toward the Atlantic and Europe].  I now beheld a heavy white vapor at some distance rising fold upon fold.  This gradually dissipated, and I looked upon the strange scene.  Before me lay, out in one vast plain all the countries of the world -- Europe, Asia, Africa, and America.  I saw rolling and tossing between Europe and America lay billows of the Atlantic, and between Asia and America lay the Pacific.  'Son of the Republic', said the same mysterious voice as before, 'look and learn.'

~ The First Peril:  The Revolutionary War.

At that moment I beheld a dark shadowy being, like an angel, standing, or rather floating in mid-air, between Europe and America.  Dipping water out of the ocean in the hollow of each hand, he sprinkled some upon America with his right [West] hand, while with his left [East hand] he cast some over Europe [angel is facing South].  Immediately a cloud arose from these countries and joined in mid-ocean.  For awhile it remained stationary, and then it moved slowly westward, until it enveloped America in its murky folds.  Sharp flashes of lightning gleamed through at intervals , and I heard the smothered groans and cries of the American People.  (This may be interpreted to have been the Revolutionary War, then in progress.)

A second time the angel dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it out as before.  The dark cloud drew back to the ocean, in whose heaving billows it sank from view.

~ Westward expansion in America

A third time I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.'  I cast my eyes upon America and beheld villages and town cities spring up one right after another until the whole land from the Atlantic to the Pacific was dotted with them.  Again, I heard the mysterious voice say, 'Son of the Republic, the end of the century cometh [end of the 1700's], look and learn.'

~ The Second Peril:  Slave trade from Africa is used to instigate the Civil War.

And this time a dark shadowy angel turned his face southward.  From Africa I saw an ill-omened spectre approach our land.  It flitted slowly and heavily over every town and city of the latter [our land].  The inhabitants presently set themselves in battle array against each other [the Civil War].  As I continued to look I saw a bright angel on whose brow was traced the word 'Union.'  He was bearing the American flag.  He placed the flag between the divided nation and said, 'Remember, ye are brethern.'  (This may be interpreted as to have been the Civil War.)

Instantly the inhabitants, casting down their weapons became friends once more, and united around the National Standard.

 

George Washington's Vision: USA invaded by Foreign Troops ***

Note: The following "THIRD PERIL" which is still to come, in the future, is explained further in parentheses and brackets. 

  

~ The Third Peril, Phase 1, the USA is Invaded by Foreign Troops:  For years, UN foreign troops have been brought to the USA, and stationed on recently "shut down" military bases in the USA. They are told to wait, until Martial Law is declared in the USA. These existing foreign troops, combined with the invading foreign troops, are used to implement and enforce Martial Law in the USA, as a key part of the plan to bring the USA under the New World Order (NWO) (i.e. to bring the USA under the UN, then later possibly under the Scarlet Beast [the EU] of Rev 17). ~ 

~    Events surrounding this prophecy.

Again I heard a mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.'  At this the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe [EU including France, Germany], Asia [Russia, China], and Africa [including Arab countries].  [Possibly the 10 kings of Rev 17:16 who hate Mystery Babylon (similar to the USA).]

Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene.  From each of these continents arose thick black clouds that were soon joined into one [under the United Nations (UN) and/or other New World Order (NWO) organizations, possibly joining into one under the scarlet beast [the EU] of Rev 17:17 ].  And throughout this mass there gleamed a dark read [red?, Communist?] light by which I saw hordes of armed men.  These men, moving with the cloud marched by land and sailed by sea to America [where some were already temporarily stationed on recently "shut down" USA military bases], which country was enveloped in the volume of the cloud.

And [when Martial Law was declared in the USA] I dimly saw these vast armies devastate the whole country and burn the villages, towns and cities, which I had seen spring up.  [ Rev 17:16 mentions "burn her with fire." ]

As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of swords, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, ...

 George Washington's Vision: Nuclear Attack? on the USA ***

  

~ The Third Peril, Phase 2, Nuclear Attack? on the USA:  The 10 kings of Rev 17:16, or 10 Communist states and governments, who hate the woman (the USA), shall  "burn her with fire." ~ 

~    Events surrounding this prophecy.

As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of swords, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I again heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.'  When the voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth, and blew a long and fearful blast.

Instantly a light, as of a thousand suns [a nuclear attack? involving a thousand nuclear warheads, each one being as bright as a sun when it explodes] shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into fragments of the dark cloud which enveloped America.  At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shown the word 'Union,' and who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits.  These immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were well-nigh over come [the USA falls, and the nuclear attack? is over for the surviving Americans], but who immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks, and renewed battle [a revival breaks out in America among the survivors?].

Again amid the fearful noise of the conflict I heard the mysterious voice say, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.'  As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped the water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America.  Instantly the dark clouds rolled back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious. [America repents, the judgment is over, and the foreign armies are removed from the USA.  A spiritually revived America will leave Americans victorious.]

Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and cities springing up where I had seem them before, while the bright angel, planting the azure standard cried with a loud voice: 'While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last.'  [But no longer as the world's superpower.]  And taking from his brow the crown which blazoned the word 'Union,' he placed it down upon the standard while the people, kneeling down said, 'Amen.'  [America repents (kneeling down to God), the U.S. returns to being the Christian Nation God created, and a great Revival occurs in the USA.  Amen]

~ Summary of the Vision's 3 Perils.

The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor, I at first beheld.  This also disappeared, and I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor who, in the same voice I heard before said, 'Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted: Three great perils will come upon the Republic.  The most fearful for her is the third.  But the whole world united shall not prevail against her [if America repents, and Americans can learn to live for God].  Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land and Union.

With these words the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been showed me the birth, progress, and destiny of the United States."
