What vision is that?

“a time when supports that you depend on would no longer be there, things you’ve depended on, resources, buildings, people, and finances, all that kind of thing, will be taken from you. And then a time of evangelism will follow such as the world has never seen. That’s the heart of those prophecies.”
The earliest publication of “Washington’s Vision” that I’ve found was in the 24 June 1861 Philadelphia Inquirer. That December, it was published in the Pittsfield Gazette, and the following April in the New Hampshire Sentinel.

The argument is that this was Union propaganda ... to create support for the war effort. It certainly is of interest to research.
