Full Transcript
Just before the last depression, God tried to warn America with incredible storms, and then came a famine. There came a drought in the Midwest, from Texas through Oklahoma, and the great dust storms. And folks, we see the handwriting on the wall.
It's happening right now while I'm, right now, 75 days without rain. The ground is cracking, opening up, and there are dust storms that got the red, the red storm now, the red sky over Houston, they call it. The same red sky that came just before the depression in 1929.
Folks, the very same thing is happening over and over again. And somebody said, here he goes again, trying to scare the daylights out of me. No.
We are blind to these things. The handwriting is on the wall now. Folks, they're not going to be turning to these prosperity preachers.
They will not turn to those who said, all is well. That is being preached from our Pentecostal pulpits, Baptist pulpits, evangelical pulpits, that God will never bring down America because we send missionaries. God will never judge us.
Forget this talk about an economic collapse, forget it.
