“And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed” Isaiah 6:9-10.

“There is a place hidden that many can run to and hide. There is a place where you can run to from the storm. There is a place where you can run to that is not in this world. It is under the shelter of my wings.

You my people have entered into a time when you need to hear Me more and more clearly. Unstop your ears and hear Me, says the Lord. There is the sound of drumming heard upon the horizon.

It is the sound of feet marching upon your land. For your shores will be breached. I took my people Israel and they were taken into captivity and they were given freedom after so many years. You have entered into a time when these things will soon happen.

You Oh land of America have gone into the far reaches of the globe. You have reached out your hand to help others, but you cannot help yourselves. For you are unaware of the disease that has infiltrated your land.

You have valued your place in the world’s economy and stage, but the tide is turning. Your harbors will not always protect you. For the torch that once held freedom high, will fall.

Your arsenals will not hold the tide back. In your pride and arrogance you thought that you were the best nation upon the earth. But the swing of the pendulum has been set.

The canopy which was once spread over your nation has been lifted. Woe to those who just speak of happy times ahead. Woe to those prophets who have buried their heads in the sand. But in spite of the severity of these things, I have a people who have not heeded the voices of tickling ears. I have a people who have known about these things ahead of time. And they have been preparing, not just with stock piles of food and water, but their hearts have been preparing for these days ahead.

And they prepare; and they pray, and they have their ears trained to hear my voice.”
