An old woman of 90 from Valdres in Norway had a
vision from God in 1968. The evangelist Emanuel Minos had meetings
(services) where she lived. He had the opportunity to meet her, and she
told him what she had seen. He wrote it down, but thought it to be so
unintelligible that he put it in a drawer. Now, almost 30 years later,
he understands he has to share the vision with others.
The woman from Valdres was a very alert, reliable, awake and
credible Christian, with a good reputation among all who knew her. This
is what she saw:
"I saw the time just before the coming of Jesus and the outbreak
of the Third World War. I saw the events with my natural eyes. I saw the
world like a kind of a globe and saw Europe, land by land. I saw
Scandinavia. I saw Norway. I saw certain things that would take place
just before the return of Jesus, and just before the last calamity
happens, a calamity the likes of which we have never before experienced.
She mentioned four waves:
1. "First before Jesus comes and before the Third World War breaks
out there will be a ‘détente’(the relaxation of strained relations) like we have never had before. There will
be peace between the super powers in the east and the west, and there
will be a long peace. (Remember, that this was in 1968 when the cold war
was at its highest. E. Minos) In this period of peace there will be
disarmament in many countries, also in Norway and we are not prepared
when it (the war) comes. The Third World War will begin in a way no one
would have anticipated - and from an unexpected place.
2. "A lukewarmness without parallel will take hold of the
Christians, a falling away from true, living Christianity. Christians
will not be open for penetrating preaching. They will not, like in
earlier times, want to hear of sin and grace, law and gospel, repentance
and restoration. There will come a substitute instead: prosperity
(happiness) Christianity.
"The important thing will be to have success, to be something; to
have material things, things that God never promised us in this way.
Churches and prayer houses will be emptier and emptier. Instead of the
preaching we have been used to for generations -like, to take your cross
up and follow Jesus, - entertainment, art and culture will invade the
churches where there should have been gatherings for repentance and
revival. This will increase markedly just before the return of Jesus.
3. "There will be a moral disintegration that old Norway has never
experienced the likes of. People will live together like married
without being married. (I do not believe the concept ‘co-habitor’?
existed in 1968 - E. Minos.) Much uncleanness before marriage, and much
infidelity in marriage will become the natural (the common), and it will
be justified from every angle. It will even enter Christian circles and
we pet it - even sin against nature. Just before Jesus return there
will be TV- programs like we have never experienced. (TV had just
arrived in Norway in 1968. E. Minos)
"TV will be filled with such horrible violence that it teaches
people to murder and destroy each other, and it will be unsafe in our
streets. People will copy what they see. There will not be only one
‘station’ on TV, it will be filled with ‘stations.’ (She did not know
the word ‘channel’ which we use today. Therefore she called them
stations. E. Minos.) TV will be just like the radio where we have many
‘stations,’ and it will be filled with violence. People will use it for
entertainment. We will see terrible scenes of murder and destruction one
of the other, and this will spread in society. Sex scenes will also be
shown on the screen, the most intimate things that takes place in a
marriage." (I protested and said, we have a paragraph that forbids this
kind of thing. E. Minos.) There the old woman said: "It will happen, and
you will see it. All we have had before will be broken down, and the
most indecent things will pass before our eyes."
4. "People from poor countries will stream to Europe. (In 1968
there was no such thing as immigration. E. Minos.) They will also come
to Scandinavia - and Norway. There will be so many of them that people
will begin to dislike them and become hard with them. They will be
treated like the Jews before the Second World War. Then the full measure
of our sins will have been reached (I protested at the issue of
immigration. I did not understand it at the time. E. Minos.)
The tears streamed from the old woman’s eyes down her cheeks. "I
will not see it, but you will. Then suddenly, Jesus will come and the
Third World War breaks out. It will be a short war." (She saw it in the
vision.)
"All that I have seen of war before is only child’s play compared
to this one, and it will be ended with a nuclear atom bomb. The air will
be so polluted that one cannot draw one’s breath. It will cover several
continents, America, Japan, Australia and the wealthy nations. The
water will be ruined (contaminated?). We can no longer till the soil.
The result will be that only a remnant will remain. The remnant in the
wealthy countries will try to flee to the poor countries, but they will
be as hard on us as we were on them.
"I am so glad that I will not see it, but when the time draws
near, you must take courage and tell this. I have received it from God,
and nothing of it goes against what the Bible tells.
"The one who has his sin forgiven and has Jesus as Savior and Lord, is safe."
