Full Transcript
God has always judged societies. We're being slapped. I don't know why America doesn't wait.
We're being slapped on the wrist. California is being shaken from one end to another. Earthquakes.
Black economic hole. We're having tornadoes. We're having hurricanes and billions of dollars and nobody's listening.
Everybody says, well, God wouldn't do that. These are love calls. These are mercy calls.
Wake up before a true judgment comes for having turned away from everything that is righteous and holy. I stood in this pulpit a few weeks ago and it took every bit of Holy Ghost courage he could give me to say what I had to say, but I have felt this for weeks. I believe that New York City is in for 30 days of chastisement, such as America has never seen any American city.
I see at least a thousand fires burning in every borough. Every business that's on the brink right now deciding whether to move out of the city will move. There's a hemorrhage already and the economic base is collapsing.
We're a third world city already. I don't care what Mayor Dinkins says. It's a third world city.
We have a murder every hour on the hour now, major crime every 20 seconds. This is murder city and I believe that we're going to see such chaos and anarchy in New York City coming. I don't know when, but I don't think it's too far off and I don't know what's going to set it off.
There'll be no planes, trains, anything coming in this city for probably two weeks and all those who have money and are able will escape. New York City, our crown city, because of its absolute rebellion against God, its absolute sinfulness and wickedness, is going to be chastised. This is God.
He could have sent hydrogen bombs from Russia before this society collapsed and wiped us off the map, but no, he gives us warnings. He slaps our wrist and said, look, I'm talking to you. And that's what AIDS is.
It's a message. All of these calamities, they're messages and God's saying, wake up.
