What does a person do with that sort of knowledge? I confess I was afraid to do much. After all, who was I? I had been just recently released from prison. Who would believe that I was receiving visions from God? What right did I have to prophesy? Who would want to hear a warning message of impending death and disaster? So I said little about the visions until that New Year’s Eve in 1999.

On the eve of the millennium, after I had spoken of the vision, including the horrific vision of a future Los Angeles earthquake, an elderly, highly accurate, well-known prophet approached me and said, “Jim, you have declared thirty-one prophetic events—and you are right on.” Continue reading →

These nightmarish events gave me great insight into how the world systems, the Great Harlot, will be destroyed in an hour.

Since that time, our nation has experienced numerous attempted terrorist attacks, many of which have been foiled, but some, such as the attacks on military bases, have succeeded. Others came close to succeeding, such as the attempt in December 1999, when terrorists in Seattle were discovered trying to smuggle powerful explosives into the country.

Of course, domestic terrorism catapulted to an entirely new level on April 20, 1999, when we witnessed the deadliest school massacre in our nation’s history at Columbine High School in Colorado. Again, I could not have imagined what sort of terrorism was soon to follow. But on July 20, 2012, a young man went on a shooting rampage at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, shooting seventy-one people and killing twelve in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. The spirit of the Antichrist is running rampant. Continue reading →

Now for Some Good News!

Besides these and some other frightening scenarios, I saw several encouraging signs in these visions. For example, I saw that great church leaders would emerge from minorities, especially from Hispanic and Native American groups and others as well.

There will be people who come into your church who will shock you. They have been to hell and back. God is going to bring in people who will cause your hair to curl if you knew what they had done. But they have been redeemed, changed, and saved forevermore. Continue reading →

I also saw “weather more out of control than ever before.” I saw floods and mudslides, with people suffocating, buried in mud. I was driving down the street, and in a flash I saw the picture of a horrible flood. Just a few days later, on December 15, 1999, torrential rains and flash floods created devastating mudslides in the state of Vargas in Venezuela. Tens of thousands of people perished, thousands of homes were destroyed, and the state’s infrastructure completely collapsed.

One of the key phrases God gave me was death by water. This was six years before Hurricane Katrina. In front of a live audience on July 14, 2005, I announced that God told me that New Orleans would be totally under water. There would be a sea of water over New Orleans. Seven weeks later, Hurricane Katrina hit, devastating the Crescent City and vast portions of the Deep South. Continue reading →

This leads us to the next item on the list: a call for a world leader. This is also happening now! I believe the Antichrist is alive today.

I wrote down, “Keep eyes on Jesus, not miracles.” In my study of Revelation, I came to realize that the Antichrist will have incredible power. His assistant also will be able to perform miracles. Don’t follow miracles, though. Follow Jesus. The scripture is clear: “For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles” (Revelation 16:14). Continue reading →

I began my recollection of the vision with the explanation that I believed the year 2000 would be the beginning of what Jesus calls “the beginning of birth pangs” (Matthew 24:8). The Bible describes this period as a time of great distress, but God assured me that during this period to come, it would also be a time of supernatural healing and supply for His people.

The Visions of the Thirty-One Things

One of the first things I remember God speaking to me was that two major earthquakes would be coming to the world. One of them was an earthquake coming to Japan that would signal the beginning of a total financial collapse of the world economy. Continue reading →

In 1999 I received an invitation to speak at a prophetic conference to be held on New Year’s Eve. This was not just another end-of-the-year celebration, with people praying and asking God’s blessing on the coming year or partying as a giant ball slowly descended in Times Square. No, this was Y2K, an anagram for the year 2000, the eve of the new millennium.

I was humbled and honored to be asked to speak publicly. I hadn’t been out of prison that long, and I was still uncomfortable about standing behind a pulpit. But the people sponsoring the conference were friends, so I accepted their invitation. Continue reading →
