Prophetic Ministry
In 1973, Wilkerson published
The Vision, a book that detailed his prophetic visions regarding the future of the United States. Wilkerson believed that God had revealed to him a great calamity which was going to befall America due to increase in sins such as homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, and greed.
Some of the details of this 1973 vision were: There is a coming worldwide economic confusion. It will strike Europe, ***an and the US, then all other nations. There are lean years ahead. There will be a move toward a worldwide, unified monetary system. (This was years before the Euro -- every European nation had its own system). The US dollar will be hit bad and it will take years for it to recover. Environmentalists will come under heavy criticism. There will be another wave of riots, this time with Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and Cubans heavily involved. The only real security will be in land. There will be major earthquakes. There will be a major famine. Floods, hurricanes and tornadoes will increase in frequency. There will be a fall in moral conduct. Topless women will appear on television, followed by full nudity (something that had never been done in 1973) Adult, X rated movies will be shown on cable television. Sex and the occult will be mixed. There will be an acceptance of homosexuality, and the church will even say that it is a God-given gift. (Homosexuality was still studied under "abnormal psychology" by psychologists of 1973). Kids will hate their parents. There will be a new drug that will be popular with teenagers that will break down resistance and will encourage sexual activity. There will be persecution of Christians. There will arise a world church consisting of a union between liberal ecumenical Protestants and the Roman Catholic Churchy, using Christ in name only. Homosexual and lesbian ministers will be ordained and this will be heralded as a new breed of pioneer. There will be nude dancing in church, but this will never be widespread. There will be occult practices in churches. There will be a hate Christ movement. There will be a spiritual awakening behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains.
