In this powerful prophetic vision from April 1973, David Wilkerson saw economic confusion, persecution, rebellious youth, natural disasters and more coming upon the earth as the birth pains leading to the birth of God’s kingdom. The true follower of Christ need not fear because God has everything under control.
1:34 – In this vision, I saw 5 terrible calamities coming to America and the World. First of all a Worldwide Recession caused by economic confusion. I saw in my vision at most a few more fat flourishing years, and then an economic recession, that’s going to affect the lifestyle of every wage earner in the World. The world economists are going to get lost to explain what’s happening. It’s going to start in Germany, spread to Japan, and finally to the United States. Large and trusted corporations are going to go bankrupt. Many churches are going to go into bankruptcy. And some missionary projects are going to flounder. And one of the clearest messages I’ve ever received from God in my life, is this: Use the next few good years left to prepare for Financial Crisis. Get your house in order because hard times are coming.
2:30 – Number two. I saw Nature having labor pains. Supernatural signs and changes, that can’t be explained by men. Worldwide disasters that we’re witnessing right now, I see as labor pains in nature, which are going to become more and more frequent, and more intense, the closer we get to the birth of the Kingdom of God. I saw major Earthquakes coming to the United States.
2:53 – I saw a Worldwide Famine, especially in China, India, and Russia. I saw the world’s food supplies completely dwindled, and millions starving. I saw coming a new kind of Cosmic Storm appearing as a raging fire in the sky, leaving a kind of vapor trail. Tornadoes, hail storms, floods, and hurricanes, are going to pound the earth, with such intensity and violence, that all of mankind is going to have to admit, the world is under supernatural siege.
3:26 – Number three. A flood of filth and a baptism of dirt in America. I see the prophecy of nahum coming to pass in the very near future. God said I’ll pour abominable filth upon you. This means triple x-rated movies on cable television after midnight. This means r-rated movies within the next few years on network television. This means our newsstands are going to be flooded with such filth, that playboy magazine will look like a puritanical piece of trash. It means sex education classes in school will be using animated cartoons, and filmed dramatized sexual intercourse. And just when it appears there’s going to be a successful campaign against smut, just when the supreme court seems to be ruling against pornographers, when it appears the nation’s returning to old-fashioned moral standards, suddenly the floodgates are going to swing open, and satan is going to vomit filth out of hell. And it’ll be just as it was in the days of lot…
12:39 – I see homosexuals and lesbians welcome to the super church union. I see this super world church in the guise of mis of understanding accepting homosexuals and lesbians into its fellowship. Homosexuals and homosexual and lesbian love will be vindicated by the leadership of this church union. Homosexuals will not only be welcomed but they’ll be encouraged to continue in their practices. Homosexual and lesbian ministers will not only be ordained, and given places of authority, they’ll be heralded as a new breed of pioneer evangelist, introducing new concepts of love and evangelism…
23:48 – Persecution through Taxation of Churches. There’s coming an attempt to tax Churches and church-related organizations. These atheistic forces with the help of the civil liberties union, are going to push this matter to the supreme court. They’re going to have a temporary setback, but it’s not going to stop them for pressing for congressional action. And a legal setback in the courts will not stop it. In spite of court decisions we are eventually going to have taxation of our churches. I see it coming as an insignificant, very small kind of property tax. But it’s still going to burgeon into a monstrous sized tax, that will push some independent churches, and missionary societies to the brink of bankruptcy. The IRS Internal Revenue Service, one day, I see becoming one of the most powerful weapons against the Church of Jesus Christ. It would then be possible for government agencies to maintain its strangle hold on Churches.
Prophetic Money comment:
Some of the things David Wilkerson prophesied we are already seeing happen. LGBTQ ministers being accepted by many Churches. Sex books in schools and libraries. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes occurring many countries.

NotebookLM AI Summary:
The sources summarize a prophetic message delivered by David Wilkerson in 1973 based on a vision he received, detailing five terrible calamities coming to America and the world, with a significant focus on the resulting persecution of true believers. Wilkerson states that he was prompted by the Holy Spirit to share this vision, despite fearing he would be called a fanatic.
The five predicted calamities are:
- A Worldwide Recession Caused by Economic Confusion: Wilkerson predicted only a few more “fat flourishing years” before an economic recession begins, starting in Germany, spreading to Japan, and finally affecting the United States. Trusted corporations, many churches, and some missionary projects will go bankrupt, and world economists will be unable to explain it. He urged people to use the good years left to prepare for a financial crisis and “get your house in order”.
- Nature Having Labor Pains: Worldwide disasters will become more intense and frequent, acting as “labor pains” preceding the birth of the kingdom of God. This includes major earthquakes in the U.S., a worldwide famine (especially in China, India, and Russia) leading to millions starving, and the world’s food supplies dwindling. A new kind of cosmic storm, “appearing as a raging fire in the sky,” along with intense hurricanes, floods, hail storms, and tornadoes, will compel mankind to admit the world is under a supernatural siege.
- A Flood of Filth and a Baptism of Dirt in America: Wilkerson saw the fulfillment of Nahum’s prophecy: “I’ll pour abominable filth upon you”. This means triple X-rated movies on cable television after midnight, R-rated movies on network television, and newsstands flooded with filth that makes Playboy magazine look “like a puritanical piece of trash”. Satan will “vomit filth out of hell” even when campaigns against smut appear successful.
- Rebellion in the Home: The new number one youth problem will be hatred toward parents, fulfilling the biblical prophecy that “a man’s worst enemies will be they of his own household”. Children will betray their parents, leading to millions of “stay-at-home runaways” who live like enemies under a truce with their parents.
- A Persecution Madness Against True Spirit-Filled Christians: This coming persecution is designed to separate and scatter the true believers from the false. Jesus himself predicted this suffering for spirit-baptized believers.
Wilkerson then provided extensive details concerning the fifth calamity, noting that this persecution madness will rise slowly, starting subtly, but spreading across the U.S., Canada, and the entire world.
Key elements of the coming persecution include:
- Harassment by Government: The “antichrist spirit” entering high places in government and the judicial system will lead to the harassment of ministers, missionaries, and churches. Evangelical and missionary projects will be closely monitored, questioned, and badgered by government agencies.
- The Rise of a Super World Church (Visible): A union between liberal ecumenical Protestants and the Roman Catholic Church will form a “super world church council,” which will be a powerful political force, spiritual in name only, and fundamentally antichrist in many of its activities. This visible church will focus on social action, invite homosexuals and lesbians into fellowship (even ordaining them), and condone certain occult practices like seances replacing prayer meetings and respecting fortune telling.
- The Rise of an Invisible Church (Supernatural): In contrast, a “supernatural invisible church”—an underground union of deeply spiritual followers of Jesus Christ across all denominations—will grow tremendously in spiritual power due to the persecution. This invisible body of believers will become nearly invisible politically but radical in its evangelism.
- Persecution from Within the Catholic Church: Charismatic Catholics who speak with tongues and lean toward Pentecostal teachings will face a “most grievous hour of persecution” from their own church, which will attempt to “put the fire out”. Many will be forced to choose between tradition and their spiritual experience, leading many to find fellowship with other spirit-filled believers outside their traditional denominations.
- Media and Cultural Attacks: Christ-centered radio and TV programming will be targeted, and forces will use legal proceedings, red tape, and tax problems to remove them from the airwaves. Hollywood will step up attacks by creating films that ridicule true religion while glorifying witchcraft and the occult. Television comedies will become bolder, mocking Christ and Christians with blasphemous content.
- Taxation of Churches: Atheistic forces will push to tax churches and church-related organizations, potentially making the IRS “one of the most powerful weapons against the church”.
- The Jesus Revolution Goes Sour: The Jesus movement will stagnate, turning into a “Jesus Revulsion” movement as undisciplined followers return to drugs and old ways. Young Christians will be hated, harassed, spat upon, and have their Bibles ripped apart by “hate christ clubs”.
- Gossip War: Satan will declare a “gossip war” against true ministers and their wives, raising up malicious gossip to malign and discredit them.
Despite the coming calamities, Wilkerson conveyed a message of hope and assurance. When he asked God how Christians could remain sane and endure, he received five words: “God has everything under control”. This means that the unleashed fury of nature and the devil are limited by God, who is still “king of the flood”. For the true child of God, the future is pre-programmed, and believers should look up and rejoice.
