The Day of the LORD – May 25, 2021

During the week of June 16, 2019, the word of the Lord came to me twice.  Prior to the first, I received a vision from the Lord.

I was in Massachusetts.  I saw a wooden box on a dock near the ocean.  It was shut up tight.  I had a deep desire to open the box, but I did not approach it.

The Lord then showed me a future time when the cover would be pried off and the box would be opened.  From that image I saw a path of destruction being torn through a countryside.  It looked like what happens when a powerful tornado tears through a region, but there was no funnel cloud and no storm.  I saw dust and grass being torn up and tossed into the air, revealing a scar in the landscape.  I saw houses and barns being torn to pieces, as though an unseen set of hands was tearing them asunder and throwing the pieces aside.

Then, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

I will strike America from the head to the tail, and a scar will mar the land.  The scar will remain until the end.

Some days later, as I was in prayer, the word of the Lord came to me again.  At the time I had a rash in a couple of spots under my arm.  The word of the Lord said:

This is a sign to you.  A plague will strike your people.  Sores like these will cover the people from head to toe.

As I exposed the falseness of the idols of Egypt, so I will expose the falseness of the idols in which your people have placed their trust.  Children will rebel against their parents.  Medical science and its miraculous cures will be impotent in fending off the diseases that are yet to come.  Those who try to live in harmony with nature, will find nature turning on them from the insects to the animals to the very plants.  They will find no safe place.  For those who have come to rely on my steadfastness in maintaining the laws of nature, they will find what was once stable becoming erratic and unpredictable.

They must learn that I am the Lord, the one who holds the chaos at bay, who brings order and life, who sustains my creation by my powerful word.  What have been called laws are in truth my steadfast love, what has been called a cure is in truth my mercy.  Your people have assigned my glory to created things and, like their ancestors, have worshipped the creation rather than the Creator.  I have already turned them over to a debased mind, but soon I will upend their understanding of the universe itself to reveal the foolishness that has been embraced as truth.

Some years later, now, during the week of May 16, 2021, the word of the Lord came to me again and returned me to these instances two years prior.

Again, I was given a vision.  I was floating high above the earth.  I was able to see the entire east coast of the United States laid out below me.  It was in the evening, and I could see the lights of cities illuminating the earth.  Then, I saw beams of light raining down from the heavens upon America’s east coast, from Georgia to Maine.  The lights did not touch Florida.  There were thousands of little beams of purple and green light that began somewhere below me and were falling upon the coastline.

As the lights continued to fall upon the coast, they began to move inland.  From Georgia to New York City, they moved in as deep as Washington, D.C. (perhaps 200 miles).  The area upon which the lights fell turned dark after they passed.  But something different occurred in the northeastern states of New England.  The lights kept advancing until they had passed over all of New England, stopping at the border of Canada.  All of New England and sections of northeastern New York turned dark as the lights passed over.

Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

An ecological disaster is coming.  If I did not set its limits, it would wash over the whole continent.  It comes from the oceans, and boils come with it.  These are my locusts.

When I asked why the east coast and particularly New England had been singled out, the word of the Lord came to me again, saying:

The first Europeans who came to this land took it upon themselves to make a covenant with me.  I made no covenant with them beyond that which I have made with all who put faith in Jesus.  But, they took the initiative to covenant with me.  They swore an oath to sanctify this land to My glory; they covenanted to respect my teachings and to live out faithfully their trust in my Son, Jesus; they committed themselves to living faithfully before me so long as their colonies existed.

But, almost immediately they rejected the teachings of my Son, picking up instead the covenant I had made with ancient Israel as their own.  They did violence in this land, and their descendants have rejected me entirely as their God.  In the days to come, I will hold them to the vows they made before me.  Though I sought no kingdom on the earth, they pledged their allegiance to Jesus.  To this day this oath has been betrayed over and over again.

I have sent prophet after prophet, judgment after judgment, plague after plague upon their descendants that they might turn from their wickedness and fulfill the vows of their ancestors.  But, they would not turn.  They have given their hearts to foreign gods who are not gods and to the worship of created things by which they claim they have been made.

I release now the locust storm I have held back in my mercy.  A nation reaps what it has sown.  To those who are faithful, faithfulness will be shown.  To those who are faithless; faithlessness is their lot.  I am the Lord; the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; the God Who became flesh in the Person of Jesus.  Hear, O people of the earth, and tremble.  I will no longer hold silent.  The sound of My voice will once again shake the heavens and the earth.  For the people of the earth have forgotten themselves, and the false gods, who are not gods, have fallen with them.  Woe to those who do not repent and turn from their faithless ways, for the day of salvation wanes!  The day of the Lord is at hand.
