All God’s prophets, both today and of old, proclaim that a day is coming when God will destroy the unfruitful wicked men of the earth. That day is now upon us. Isaiah says,

Draw near, O nations, to hear,
    and give attention, O peoples!
Let the earth hear, and all that fills it;
    the world, and all that comes from it.
2 For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,
    and furious against all their host;
    he has devoted them to destruction,[a] has given them over for slaughter.
3 Their slain shall be cast out,
    and the stench of their corpses shall rise;
    the mountains shall flow with their blood.
4 All the host of heaven shall rot away,
    and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall fall,
    as leaves fall from the vine,
    like leaves falling from the fig tree. (Is. 34:1-4 ESV)

Notice Isaiah’s allusion to plants, trees, and leaves in verse 4. Jesus made similar references when he spoke of God’s coming judgment. He said, for example, “If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.” (John 15:6) In fact, Jesus told entire parables to explain this.

He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, 25 but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds[c] among the wheat and went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. 27 And the servants[d] of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn. (Matthew 13:24-30)

I believe there are at least three phases of this destruction God has planned for the wicked. The first destruction of wickedness occurs when a man repents of his evil ways and begins to obey Jesus Christ. Everyone who is now considered by God to be a tree which produces good fruit lives in a constant state of repenting of his sins. The second destruction is the natural destruction of physical death which appears to be imminent. This world stands poised to assault every last vestige of God’s truth. This explains why Christians, and persons of no other religions, now stand targeted by the world’s beast governments which rule the earth. This second destruction comes in two phases. First comes the persecution and death of many people who call themselves Christians. These are those who comprise Babylon the Great, the harlot who rides Satan’s beast governments. Revelation 17 identifies her.

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.” 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full ofblasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. 5 And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.” 6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.  (Revelation 17:1-6)

Revelation 18 then describes Babylon’s total destruction. The first three verses tell us why God has to judge her. John wrote,

After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. 2 And he called out with a mighty voice,

So, how is it that people who remain within the walls of established Christendom will take part in her sins and share in her plagues? We take part in her sins by believing the false doctrines she teaches and by teaching others to do the same. Our idols, our sins, thus become enshrined in doctrines we teach others to practice. We share in her plagues by sharing in the judgment that God will soon bring to his corrupt institutionalized church. My own opinion is that the beast will first turn upon those churches and Christians who publicly espouse their patriotism, respect for the Constitution, and who also teach others to protect themselves with guns. Who do you think the FEMA camps and all the bullet purchases by Homeland Security are for? Clearly, governments around the world already attack those people as we saw the past two weeks with revelations of IRS targeting of Tea Party and patriot groups. Make no mistake, those attacks will increase, not lessen in the coming days. Other churches, like the Catholic Church, will likely be targeted for their pro-life position regarding abortion. The problem is that all these churches, as good as some of the people within them are, still cling to false doctrine and idolatry which separates them from God. The only safe course is to “come out of her,” come out of established religion if you want to avoid her sins and plagues.

So, we see that Christians will be persecuted and slaughtered in large numbers in the near future. “Judgment begins with the House of God.” After that God will bring his wrath upon the rest of the world. We see this in Revelation 19.

11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is calledFaithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in[d] blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of God, 18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave,[e] both small and great.” 19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with itthe false prophet who in its presence[f] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two werethrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh. (Rev. 19:11-21)

This completes the second phase of the second destruction. After this comes the third destruction, the time when wicked men are resurrected and “thrown into the Lake of Fire” for their ultimate correction. Two years ago Prophet Kenneth Visscher received visions of the coming destruction of the unfruitful men of this world. Here are his visions:

(6^th Vision)

“From this vantage point in the atmosphere I found myself over the State of Virginia over the United States of America and over the North American continent. Standing upon a solid place in the atmosphere I beheld a great war over the entire continent. This war covered not only over America, but over all the nations which are included in this continent, no nation was exempt from being included in this Great War. I saw the massive columns of the powers of darkness, the spirits of wickedness in high places mount an intelligent assault, mounting up towards the heavens with their assault. Above them and coming down towards them was Michael and a great host of Angels upon which were placed battle gear and weapons of war. As I saw this I knew that a great war is about to come to the earth. It was then that I saw that the minions of hell and the Angels of heaven were in several companies, they were not only over this part of the world, but other continents, all of them, also had this battle which is about to begin. Above Michael and his host of warring Angels saw I the Lord seated upon the Throne of heaven giving His assent to Michael and to wage war and to bring a culmination of the end of this age. Looking then upon the earth I saw the masses of Christendom, those who hold the truth in unrighteousness and who are not holy, but are living in a falseness which is an affront to the Lord for it is but an idol men have set up in their hearts. As these prayed their prayers did not rise up unto the Lord but instead their prayers gave power to the lower armies of the minions of hell to wage war and to mount up an assault against Michael and his Angels. But I also saw Michael and his Angels receive power from the Lord. At the same time that Christendom was praying unrighteous prayers, I saw hidden here and there in the earth the Overcomers who prayed right prayers and holy prayers. These would pray according to the will of the Lord and as they did the Lord would hear them and give power unto Michael to wage this war and to defeat the other armies which were set up to overthrow and overtake the Lord and His everlasting Kingdom. So great was this number of those involved in these wars and I saw that this is even now beginning in the realm of the spirit and over the continents of the earth.”

(7^th Vision)

“Being then found in the spirit I was taken over the nation of Spain, back into a time where the medieval world existed and Spain was a conquering nation. I saw the soldiers of Spain and their bright shining silver breast plates on their armour come on ships over the seas to conquer and divide the western world. At this time I saw Cuba and their people in current time whose lives were determined by the bondages placed upon them from centuries ago. Although this is a nation of mixed peoples, they were under the influence of the Spanish world that was based in pride and in ruthless conquest. To this day the people of Cuba remained in bondage to that pride. My understanding rose higher and it came to me that this is not just between Spain and Cuba, but all the nations of the earth have inherited from earlier times the curse of pride and of nation which has now come to full measure in the earth. The Lord has now begun to move to shake apart all this which has been laid out over many centuries so that the people therein, held to these bondages from past times will be set free and be allowed to enter that greater Kingdom of the Lord when Christ brings it with Him. I was given the one example of this with Spain and Cuba and shown that this is happening over all nations which ancestry that the Lord will now shake, and eventually cleanse, all pride swallowed up in the shakings will be null and void when it comes to its ability to control others. The shakings are a motion of the Lord’s spirit to set free all that is in the world of men.”

(8^th Vision)

“Standing in the spirit and looking out unto the earth I saw the world of men in great tribulation, great and sore was the time of testing which had come to the world of men. To my left and behind me a rushing of a mighty wind rose up increasing in velocity. Then suddenly, passing me on my left rode the Lord upon a chariot with four white horses pulling Him. He rode toward the earth with great speed causing this wind. Behind Him and following Him were many white horses with the disembodied members of Christ’s Army upon them, riding fast as the Lord rode the chariot towards the earth. Upon the earth men were unaware of this coming as they were busy looking to one another to gird one another up during the great shakings that were taking place. But spotted amongst the peoples of the earth, here and there were the faces of the Overcomers who were alive and remaining unto the coming of the Lord. These were not looking sideways at other men, they were looking up unto the Lord, fixing their gaze only upon Him, watching and waiting for His coming to take place as their longed for event was actually now taking place, it was the second coming of Christ to the world of men. I saw also amongst many graves the graves and the dust and the ashes both on land and in the sea of these disembodied saints who rode with the Lord upon white horses. As the Lord rode towards the earth I saw the dust, the ashes and those in the sea shake and come together and come and join molecule upon molecule until their bodies came once again into form. Then were they raised out of their places of death to STAND UPON THE EARTH with those who were yet alive at His coming. Those who were yet alive also had a change happen unto them, their molecules shook off the dust of the earth, the time frame of the earth, the condition of the earth and they came together into a company of people whom the Lord now infused with His glory. This was the first resurrection. The Lord upon the chariot lighted upon the soil of the earth and those disembodied came once again into their new bodies and these all stood together with the Lord in the earth in the first resurrection. My words fail me to describe this, but it was a glorification of the faithful in eternal physical bodies ON the earth with the Lord joining them there in His own raised body as well. Words fail me to describe the glory of this event that is about to happen in this present world of men.”
