I was listening to Wilkerson preach on YOUTUBE last night, it said was from 1973. Was stunned. Shocked. Flabbergasted.
I had heard some of his preaching before but long forgotten this guy. Now it's all I can think about today. Any comments?

How many of his predictions/prophecies have failed?

I think God speaks to us through His Word, not signs and wonders and visions. Trusting subjective experience is fraught with danger. The Bible instruct us not to lean on our own understanding. And we we read Genesis 3:6 we can readily see what happens when we trust what we think we see. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

He lived through his own crisis and spent his life helping to turn others to God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

His death was a real loss. Automobile accident. He founded “ TEEN CHALLENGE” both for men and later for women, a street ministry for alcoholics and drug addicts and saved many from the life of degradation with the Word and power and story of Jesus Christ.

He will wear a crown of glory.

I remember reading The Vision in the 70’s and remember bits and pieces of it, all of which have come true.

David Wilkerson was a true man of God. He grieved for the lost souls of this world and his ministry truly was about helping the poor, the sick, the hurting, the widowed, and the fatherless around the world. He never begged for money but always said Christ would meet the needs of his ministry.

Earth quakes, floods, hurricanes, tornados? SHOCKING. Recession? So, David Wilkerson could see the recession of 1979-1983? That is profound. He must have seen Jimma Carter.

His book The Cross and the Switchblade was very popular reading among young Christians my age in the early 1970s. I wasn't aware of any of his work on prophecy. The Late Great Planet Earth by Hal Lindsey was huge back then. And like Wilkerson's words on the audio, many of the 1970s predictions (though hard to believe in 1970) has come to fulfillment. Cashless society for one. I hardly ever carry cash anymore. How much more of a step would it take to make the card usless as well - in exchange for a microchip or “mark”?

I first read the book in 1980. Everything seems to have come true.

Of course, he was predicting the judgement would come to America in 1990, with Gulf War I, but later said he was wrong, because the huge outpouring of prayer in the US, had resulted in the chastisement being postponed.

However, remember the story of Jonah: Chastisement can be turned away by prayer and repentance.

Indeed, there are only two places where I read predictions of a peaceful fall of communism, and his was one of them. He also predicted revival of Christianity in Russia and China at the same time when Christians would start facing persecution in the west. Again, it has happened.
