Many a prophet has warned of the coming storm upon America. Men like Franklin Graham, David Wilkerson, Paul Washer, and Leonard Ravenhill have warned us. But, this is not just another storm. It is the final storm.
We live in a most unique time in history. We will see with our own eyes the last storm God will send upon man. A storm is never sent without a warning. We, in America, have been warned. This final storm gives a whole new meaning to the foolish man who chose to build his house upon the sand.
— Mathew 7:26
This storm will be unlike any other previously brought upon man. The flood resulted in a remnant saved in Noah’s family. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah resulted in Lot escaping it. The heavens and the earth survived these storms. This final storm will destroy the heavens and the earth with a fervent heat. A new heaven and a new earth will then be created. It will be inherited by those who have built their house on the Rock of Christ Jesus.
We are only beginning to see the uniqueness of this end time. God is beginning to pour out His Spirit upon mankind in a way not seen in human history; even during the early Church. Satan has been let loose on the earth to work his evil as never before. Never in man’s relationship with his creator have these two things happened at the same time. The great falling away has already begun. So too, do I believe, has the last great upheaval of God’s Spirit.
Every other storm in human history had in it God’s purpose to lead man to one truth–that man can do nothing apart from the power and life of Christ. Throughout human history, God has shown He must first empty man of any hope of saving himself. This final storm will have an added purpose.
The added purpose to this final storm, and what makes it different than every other storm, is in the finality the storm will bring. It is the final trial, the final testing to see if we are found approved. We cannot weather this final storm, or any storm, on our own. It is impossible except for the life-giving blood of Jesus Christ.
We must cultivate this relationship that we have with Christ. He is teaching us through these storms that we require continuous total dependence upon Him. We must constantly rely upon God and be persistent in drinking from the cup of His living water, absorbing Christ’s life-giving Spirit. It leads to a continual state of growing in fruitfulness always bearing more and more fruit; just like a branch grafted to the vine.
When one rejects Christianity, one is not rejecting a religion, a belief, or a philosophy. One is rejecting a person; the Son of the living God. The only one who can give us eternal life.
This final storm will be unlike any other storm, for if this warning is rejected there will be no more storms to warn us of the impending eternal danger of rejecting the only One who can save us. This is the final storm warning. The final storm is coming.
— Mathew 5:3
Blessed are those who realize it is impossible to save themselves. Blessed are those who live in total dependence upon God. What did the nation of Israel do that so dishonored God? They lived in independence from Him.
How may you honor God and grow in your dependence upon Him as the storm warnings are blowing warning us of this coming final storm?
I Thirst For The Rock
I have ceased to be hungry for I am filled
Blessed by grace I bow to Your sovereign will
I am made satisfied by the love You give
Filled with goodness in Your house given to live
I have sinned against heaven and before thee
Not worthy to be called a son can I be
While yet far away You came running as I grieved
Sealed with a kiss Your compassion I received
In a starving condition not anymore
Having no more want…no more need…no more poor
No longer depending on my works to restore
Salvation in Christ is received for evermore
I thirst for the rock that’s solid
For Him and for His blood
And for only His righteousness
For Christ and nothing else
To have Him I die to self
For forgiveness of sins
For salvation in Him
And to be a sheep in His royal pen
I thirst for the rock that’s solid
For Him and for His blood
And for only His righteousness

Very deep and thought provoking! Luke 21:36
Thanx Kathie! For those who believe, we have nothing to fear. God’s made a way for our escape; for those that will endure.
Three weeks ago I dreamed, two nights in a row, of tidal waves coming and washing people out to sea. When I shared this with a friend, she sent me a link dated March 29 in which a well-known Bible teacher/prophetic minister had two tsunami dreams as well. There are different implications, both to spiritual and natural disaster, as well as the impetus to pray that what overtakes people is God’s Spirit. I too believe we are on the outer bands of a great storm, the like of which the world has not yet seen.
The sea in biblical times was often called–The Abyss. God, by His grace has provided a way to escape the Abyss. We are called to warn all of the coming storm. All the writers at TBL do such a good job spreading that warning of the coming judgment and offering God’s way of escape through Jesus Christ.
I believe God is pouring out Spirit just as He said He would; through dreams, through scripture, and all done through His Spirit. I thank God we such a group of writers who are “seers” to the truth and share the vision of God given them. What a blessing this site is! Thank you Emily.
Yes, God will hide us in Christ, in the cleft of the Rock and we will be safe in Him, invisible to our enemies. Abiding in Christ is the only safe place.
The non-Christian world has no idea of what is soon to come upon the earth. Matthew 24:21 says there “will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall.”
You are right John and thank you for adding the scripture reference and giving this final storm its proper name–The Great Tribulation. I was more referring to the time of Christian persecution leading up to it, but all need to know what is coming. Thank you my friend! ron,
