Famed pastor predicts imminent catastrophe Best-selling author, Teen Challenge founder, sees 'earth-shattering calamity about to happen' © 2009 WorldNetDaily David Wilkerson A respected pastor, best-selling author and founder of a major ministry to teens predicts an imminent "an earth-shattering calamity" centered in New York City that will spread to major urban areas across the country and around the world – part of what he sees as a judgment from God. David Wilkerson, author of "The Cross and the Switchblade," a book about his ministry to troubled New York street kids that was later made into a movie starring Pat Boone, tells readers of his blog this weekend that he is "compelled by the Holy Spirit to send out an urgent message" about his prediction. "An earth-shattering calamity is about to happen," he writes. "It is going to be so frightening, we are all going to tremble – even the godliest among us." Wilkerson's vision is of fires raging through New York City. "It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires – such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago," he explains. "There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting – including Times Square, New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God’s wrath. In Psalm 11 it is written, "If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Wilkerson is the founding pastor of Times Square Church in New York City, where he launched a ministry to gang members and drug addicts in 1958. He is a highly regarded mentor to other pastors in evangelical circles and travels the world holding conference for other Christian ministers. In this age of evil, be a champion for God and stand up for the absolute truth of Scripture, not the misconceptions you've been led to believe. Get "Shocked by the Bible: The Most Astonishing Facts You've Never Been Told" personally autographed! His work in New York in the 1950s and 1960s led to the formation of Teen Challenge – a nationwide ministry to reach out to people with life-controlling habits. Teen Challenge has grown to include 173 residential programs and numerous evangelism outreach centers in the United States, and 241 centers in 77 other countries. The program claims a recovery rate of 86 percent. The story of Wilkerson's first five years of ministry in New York is told in "The Cross and the Switchblade," a book he co-authored in 1963. The book became a best-selling phenomenon and more than 15 million copies have been distributed in over 30 languages. "God is judging the raging sins of America and the nations," claims Wilkerson. "He is destroying the secular foundations." Wilkerson urges everyone to stockpile a 30-day supply of food and other necessities to deal with the catastrophe he foresees. "I do not know when these things will come to pass, but I know it is not far off," Wilkerson concluded in his message. "I have unburdened my soul to you. Do with the message as you choose." A past vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention is hoping believers pay attention to Wilkerson's message. "I have known David Wilkerson for more than 25 years as well as many of his friends and associates," said Pastor Wiley Drake. "He is a godly man and I believe he is listening to God. I encourage each Christian to read and heed what God is saying through our brother."

As far as I'm concerned, all ministers and preachers are crackpots.
First coming from WND it is pretty much a slam dunk that David Wilkerson is just another in long list of preachers who have bought into dispensationalisim....ala John Hagee
Every couple of years or so, one of these clowns gets up and goes "God's wrath is coming soon! He told me so! Buy my book and be prepared!" It's just nonsense for the rubes, to get them to drop their hard- earned dollars on fake books and prayer cloths.

“ An earth-shattering calamity is about to happen. It is going to be so frightening, we are all going to tremble -- even the Godliest among us...There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting—including Times Square, New York City... ” Internet media beginning with Worldnetdaily at 3:15 a.m. EST Sunday March 8, 2009 and then the Matt Drudge "Drudgereport" then reported the prediction under the headline "Famed pastor predicts imminent catastrophe..." Wiki is already updated with this info, one day after. On Saturday March 7, 2009 Mr. Wilkerson published at his online blog what he called "an urgent message...compelled by the Holy Spirit" which includes the following wording:
His staff must be busy..

David Wilkerson is your kind of phony preacher

Never heard of the guy. I'm more into Jesus.

Robbie, check out the CNP (Council for National Policy). Many Christianized rapture nutters and right wing gatekeepers are members including Tim LaHaye, Larry Pratt, Phyllis Schlafly, Stan Monteith, Joseph Farah and likely many others we know more personally within the freedom movement. Michael Badnarik has spoken at their meetings, and some we on this forum know have attended their meetings but can't be locked down as members in good standing since the group is very secretive. EDIT: I'd add that I believe one of their agendas is to keep people thinking that the CONstitution has some relevance contrary to all evidence.

Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.

It does not take to long to identify those that hold to dispensationalisim

Get yourself some big hair, a toothy smile, a nice suit, and a Bible. A Southern accent helps a lot too. Be ready to defend Israel at all costs, and lie lie lie lie lie your ass off. Then scrape up some donations from your "flock", shear those sheep for all they're worth, and then get on the TeeVee and grow your congregation. Then get a blond sidekick with big hair, big boobs and lots of makeup who goes "praise Jesus" every 30 seconds or so. Once you're raking in enough moolah, buy yourself some satellite bandwidth and go for the big time. Pretend that you're hearing the voice of Jesus every so often as you preach... veer off into tangents as directed by "the spirit of the Lord". And don't get caught diddling anything...

No need. There is nothing to debate. You are either with Jesus or against him.
#15. To: Jethro Tull (#0)
Could happen if there's nothing entertaining to watch on TV.
#16. To: Old Friend (#14) (Edited)
Don't take this to personal but based on your many posts you really need to find the real Jesus
#17. To: Elliott Jackalope (#13)
Or you could take the Elliot Jackass way. You can hate and want to kill all christians. You can burn the 10 commandments because they say don't kill don't commit adultery have no other God. Lets all be like Elliot Jackass. He is like Stalin who wants to kill anyone who believes in God. Then he distorts the Bible to make it fit his luceferian philisophy of kill christians.
#18. To: robnoel (#16)
Oh I'm not for killing all the Jews. How unchristian of me.
#19. To: Jethro Tull (#0)
Throw out the religious bent and I see nothing wrong with the mans views.
#20. To: Old Friend (#17)
LOL! Dude, take your meds. You are SO far off base it's unreal. I don't hate Christians, I mainly feel bad for them. I do, however, despise organized religion and those who lead it, because from what I've seen they're all run by sociopaths and liars. Those who choose to have a spiritual outlook and who are willing to seek the truth, and discuss it with others, and state their beliefs but are willing to listen to others? More power to them. I'll happily debate with them till the cows come home. Those who thump "holy books" and demand that THEIR way is the ONLY way and all others are doomed to eternal horrors inflicted by God? I have no patience for them whatsoever. But hey, you believe what you want to. Just keep away from sharp objects and things that go "boom" and you'll be fine.

I have been yheown out of churches. But this man is different than the charlatans on the boob tube. He originally made this prediction years ago after having spent a decade working with the criminal class in New York, All his vision said is that there would be riots in New York and that the looters will burn down the place. I saw him say that on TV and he indicated it would be far worse than Watts. Bur we know the dollar is about to crash. And we know what kind of sewer New York is. So we can expect this might well happen in 2009 or 2010. Gerald Celebts said we will have food riots in 2009. When the dollar crashes all welfare, social security, unemployment insurance and food stamps will go to zero value slong with paychecks. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN THE DAY AFTER ALL GOVERNMENT CHECKS BECOME WORTHLESS?

Um... a minute ago you were saying I'm like Stalin. Here's a suggestion: It's "ready, aim, fire", not "ready, fire, aim"...

"Give Zbig some credit for the insight... Zbig understands the danger of having millions of people out of work and becoming destitute. When the economic hardships become more widespread, people are not going to let the rich pretend that there is nothing wrong with the system." Lots of people with agendas, religious and otherwise, see the same scenario. We can discount their agendas, but not their views.
#25. To: Elliott Jackalope (#23)
You are like Stalin to a degree. With your hostility towards christians. But toilet seat licker makes you look like and apostle in comparison.
Um... a minute ago you were saying I'm like Stalin. Here's a suggestion: It's "ready, aim, fire", not "ready, fire, aim"...

That is when we will start to rebuild and recover. After the riots and dead of course.

David Wilkerson is a Kabbalist

If Bush is a moonie then Obama is a serial killer.

Suggest you spend some time researching the relationship between Moon, the Unitarian Church and the Bush family.
#30. To: Horse (#22)
Having kept a distant eye on Wilkerson's ministry, I have no reason to doubt him. I don't need any more prophecy simply to know what is coming..

Seriously. In the final wash, I believe that you'll be utterly worthless wtshtf. IMO

Yes, I've heard, and read of him; and I don't buy a word of what he's pimping.

Nah. Already know about it. Moon sucks. So does Bush. I wasn't disagreeing with your screen name.

Jews or Zionists? Big difference.

A Jewish zionist is like and American who don't want Mexicans coming over the border.

What is sad is how many things, businesses etc. that billionaire Moon and the Unitarian Church have bought their way into and now influence. An example is WND and Farah. Moon was upset by some of the things being published on WND and when he learned of Farah's business/financial difficulties, he provided major $$$ financing/investment and part of the deal was that WND, G2 Bulletin and other Farah controlled businesses would no longer publish negative things about Moon or the Unitarian Church.

Reminds me of the time Billy Graham came out and said God was going to kill him if he didn't raise a certain amount of money before a specific date.

Jewish Zionists are war mongers and more often than not atheist or agnostic. They use the Torah when it suits them and the rest of the time they leave it in the bathroom to use when they run out of tp.
