A Generation Ends
01/01/05
On March 28, 1964, the largest quake ever recorded in US history occurred in Prince William Sound, Alaska. This 9.2 quake started a 40-year countdown to the next great 9.0 quake which would occur in Sumatra on December 26, 2004. Had the epicenter of the 1964 quake been in the open ocean instead of being shielded within the sound, tsunami would have devastated not only America, but Asia and the entire Pacific Rim. Tidal waves in Alaska were recorded as high as 67 meters (over 200 feet), in comparison to South Asia’s recent 33 foot tsunami. If this Alaskan quake had occurred just a few miles to the west, outside the sound, most of the coastline of the United States would have suffered catastrophic flooding as massive tidal waves beat against the shores; but instead of hundreds of thousands of casualties, only 125 people lost their lives in 1964.
It was only through God’s grace that America was shielded during the beginning of this generation of seismic restraint and intervention from major judgments. The timing of the Prince William Sound quake was a prophetic parable, not meant to be understood until the closing of Christmas, 2004, when the second 9.0 quake in 40 years would shake the globe.
Now let’s look ahead to 1999, and hear the sound of accelerated warnings, echoes of storm clouds gathering on the horizon. In September, 1999, we published a vision of a great seismic judgment in California, an earthquake so large that new bodies of water were created inland from tsunami, causing freeways to end abruptly into newborn lakes.
After publishing the vision in September, and publicly announcing that I would be arriving in Los Angeles from the Philippines on October 16, 1999 to intercede with other Christians in the area for California, a large 7.2 quake shook Southern California only seven hours after my plane arrived at the LAX, the strongest quake I have ever personally experienced. I could literally see waves rippling across the earth in the middle of the desert, as if I was standing in the sea. Little damage was done by the 7.2 quake; there were no new lakes, no collapsed buildings, and only limited structural damage near the epicenter in Joshua Tree, California. As in 1964, God intervened in the magnitude and epicenter of this quake.
Now let’s take a look at 2002, as waves of warning ripple to Alaska. At the beginning of 2002, we began to receive a series of visions and prophetic words concerning an approaching great quake in Alaska, a quake exceeding 9.0 which would cause massive damage along the US West Coast. We issued a warning that a great Alaskan quake would occur prior to the end of 2002. As the end of 2002 approached, on November 2 a large 7.4 quake shook Northern Sumatra, followed within less than 24 hours by a great 7.9 Alaskan quake along the Denali Fault Line on November 3. The epicenter was an isolated national park north of Prince Edward Sound, thus, the quake did very little damage. As in 1964 and 1999, God intervened and angelically shielded the nation.
Now let’s move forward to 2004, and look at the great Sumatran quake, also known as the “Christmas quake”. Just as Christmas symbolizes Christ’s first coming, so this 9.0 quake symbolizes his second coming.
On 11/11/04, shortly after Arafat was pronounced dead in France, I received a vision of a great earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia (full account published in our 11/11/04 report, prior to the Sumatra quake).
Summary of vision: I was taken in the Spirit to a high mountain in Indonesia, and began to prophecy to a predominately Christian village that God’s judgment was about to fall on their nation. But instead of heeding the prophetic word and preparing, they began to mock the word of the Lord, just as many US Christians mocked the word in 1999 and 2002.
But as they were mocking, the ground began to shake and a small ripple in the ocean appeared, creating a small wave. They jeeringly said, “Is this all?!” But because they mocked God’s grace in lessening the magnitude of the first quake, a larger quake shook the island, and a tidal wave appeared so big that as it struck the hills a thunderous splash rose into the air, perhaps a thousand feet high (this would take approximately a 200 foot wave, whereas during storms in the Philippines I have witnessed 10 foot waves striking concrete breakers, resulting in 50 foot splashes, or roughly 5-times the height of the wave).
Within less than 24-hours after the tsunami vision, a 7.5 quake shook Indonesia, and tsunami warnings began to laxly circulate like rumors along the Sumatran coast. Then, within less than an hour a 6-inch tsunami gently lapped against the shore. It is reported that among the handful of people who actually heard the tsunami warning, many of them were angry with officials for releasing the advisory because they had to 'inconveniently' leave their homes and shops.
But on December 26, no tsunami alerts were issued after a 9.0 quake sent a three-story wall of water rippling across the Indian Ocean. Although God in his mercy decreased the size of the tsunami from 200 feet (such as Alaska 1964) to 33 feet, we were warned that greater waves are still coming unless there is repentance. We have been prophetically warned that some of the future quakes could reach as high as 9.7 in Indonesia, Polynesia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. A great area of concern is the Pacific between New Zealand, Polynesia and the Antarctic, where I recently had a vision of a great tsunami which dwarfed anything mankind has ever seen, outside of the great flood.
It is not a coincidence that an 8.1 quake shook Macquarie Island three days prior to the 9.0 Sumatra quake. Mark this area, for it needs much prayer. As a matter of fact, I feel strongly directed to take an intercessory team from New Zealand in the Spring to pray for this part of the world, it is really that urgent.
If you are an intercessor and feel like you are supposed to be a part of this prayer team, or would to support this intercessory mission to the South Pacific, please contact me as soon as possible. Do not underestimate the power of prayer, which can calm the seas and turn 500 foot tsunami into gentle 5 inch waves.
From 1999 to 2004, if you closely examine the progression and pattern of the above earthquakes, you will notice a sobering warning to the United States. Note that in 2002, the large 7.4 Northern Sumatra quake was almost immediately followed by a great Alaska quake. These quakes during 1964, 1999 and 2002 were only types and shadows of greater events yet to come. Although everything prophesied shall come to pass, nations can still be shielded, magnitudes and epicenters can be altered, and lives can be saved if we examine the fabric of what is actually being said by heaven, and act upon the directives of the Holy Spirit in humility, repentance and lightning obedience.
Across the globe on New Year’s Eve, it is reported that most celebrations were replaced with prayer vigils following the great Asian quake, and even the secular media reported the quake as being an event of “biblical proportions”. On the first day of 2005, President Bush ordered flags to be lowered at half mass across the United States. As eyes around the world are lifted up towards heaven in search of assistance and answers, we pray that this will be the beginning of repentance and revival in many nations.
There are many types of ‘generations’, and within this report we have dealt chiefly with one of them: a generation of seismic warnings and restraint from 1964 to 2004. But there is another type of generation; a generation which will end 40 years after Jerusalem and the Temple Mount were restored to Israel in 1967. Between now and 2007, many changes are going to take place across the earth; internationally, politically, geologically; entire maps are going to change in some parts of the world, unless there is repentance and orchestrated prayer for some of these geological hot spots which are simmering and ready to erupt.
Just as the great Alaskan quake in 2002 was preceded by a large Sumatran quake, we have been forewarned that another great Alaska quake is approaching. The 2002 quake along the Denali Fault was only a foreshadow of a larger one to come, and the 1999 Joshua Tree quake was just a fire-drill of something greater ahead. Yet, within all of these warnings is hope; faith can move mountains, turn the floods into dry land and turn rivers of lava into fountains of life. The hand of God can turn back the tide of approaching judgment, calm the waves, and shield entire nations if we honor him, humble ourselves, repent, seek his face, and turn from our wicked ways while there is yet still time (II Chronicles 7:14).
