Prophetic Visions of the Last Days
By

ne of God's ways to communicate with His servants is through a vision. In a natural sense, “vision” is defined as a "sense of sight." In scripture it refers to a supernatural sense of sight that goes beyond the "natural" realm, allowing the believer to see what is unfolding in a spiritual dimension – a dimension in which the Lord may show His servants things in the past, the present, and the future. A vision is like a dream, with two exceptions. In a dream, the individual is "asleep" and what he/she sees, is transpiring in the realm of the subconscious: whereas with a vision, he is awake, and what he sees appears to be unfolding before him. One of the signs of the last days, as Peter declared in Acts, from an earlier prophesy by Joel, God will reveal knowledge through dreams and visions, “your sons and your daughters shall prophecy, your young men shall see visions, and old men shall dream dreams.” (Joel 2:28 & Acts 2:16,17). I believe that time is now. I recently became aware of William Branham and his visions from a series of books written by Perry Stone, titled Unusual Prophecies Being Fulfilled. In his most recent book of that series: Discerning the Future Destiny of America, he mentions a prophetic vision that specifically involved a woman rising to power in the U.S., and that she would become President. In June of 1933, William Branham, who in the 1940's & 50's became the leading voice of healing revivals, “saw” seven events that were revealed to him through a vision. Most of these have already been fulfilled, but it’s interesting to note which ones remain unfulfilled, although they were to be fulfilled before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Vision Six: “Then there arose in the United States a most beautiful woman clothed in splendor; and great power was given to her on that day, before the end time. There will be a powerful woman raised up, either to be president or dictator, or some great powerful woman in the United States; and America will sink under the influence of women.” Eleven years later, Branham preached a sermon and declared that the morals of our women will fall in degrading ways until they’re a disgrace to all nations. Apparently, Branham’s prophecies had been quite accurate up to this point. Perry discussed this particular set of visions with a minister who traveled with Branham, and he believed the vision could allude to the “Jezebel Spirit” that seizes the church and nation. Perry said that he believes that this would happen in the future. However I believe the “Jezebel Spirit” is already deeply rooted in the church and the nation, and it has already paved the way for a woman president. Vision Seven: “The voice bade him look once more. As he turned and beheld, a great explosion rent the entire land, and left the land of America a smoldering, chaotic ruin. As far as the eye could see there was naught but craters, smoking piles of debris, and no humanity in sight.” The vision then faded away. Branham was not the only Christian to give a warning concerning great explosions in America during the end times. George Washington saw destruction in our country, along with another great war, in a vision during his presidency. A few years ago, Perry Stone had a prophetic dream conveying this same message. The fact is that if you know the right sources, you will hear testimony upon testimony of the same message from pastors and ministry leaders from across the country. It’s not only one or two wackos anymore, but also a large group who are having very similar visions and dreams. Some are more specific than others, but they have the same warning. The fact is that Christians have been sensing something big is about to happen soon. My Experience With this said, I would like to share the visions the Lord gave me in October 2005. I have been reluctant to share them with you because I have a mixed audience of readers. But I have come to the time when I am ready to let you know what the Lord showed me. After you read my description of what I saw, you will understand why I have been writing these types of articles and publishing them. They were not intended to strike fear into anyone, but rather to bring to light what is written. All four of these visions occurred late one evening as I was waking up. I saw them in black and white, and I could see them with my eyes open or closed. The first vision was a circle with even horizontal rows of dashes. The circle began to split in half, as a star-like crown came from behind and stayed in place. The second vision, which came a minute later, was of 2-3 men dressed in Muslim attire, and I could only see their heads and shoulders. I could vaguely see their faces, as Arabic writing covered the scene. The third vision was of a great cloud of smoke. I couldn’t determine whether it was a mushroom-type blast. The final vision was of a jagged line, like that of a seismograph, or a line on a birth monitor for a woman who is going through labor.
To help discern what it all meant, I prayed for an interpretation
