An old woman of 90 from Valdres in Norway had this vision from God. “I saw
the time just before the return of Jesus and the outbreak of the Third World
War. She mentions four events that will happen in Norway in the last days.
“First, there will be a détente like never before. There will be a long peace
between the Super Powers in the east and west (In 1968 the cold war was at a
peak) In this period there will be disarmament in many countries, also in Norway, so we will not be prepared when the war comes. The 3rd world war
will begin in a way that no one could have anticipated and from an unexpected
place."
Secondly. “A luke-warmness without parallel will take hold of many Christians,
combined with a falling away from true living Christianity. They will not be open
for penetrating preaching. They will not 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. Churches and prayer houses will
be emptier and emptier. Instead of the preaching, 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."
Thirdly. “ There will be a moral disintegration that Norway has never
experienced the likes of. People will live together like married but without being
married. Much uncleanness before marriage, and much infidelity in marriage
will become the normal and it will be justified from every angle. It will even
enter Christian circles."
“TV will be filled with such horrible violence that it teaches people to murder
and destroy each other and it will be unsafe on our streets. People will copy
what they see. There will not only be one TV station but the air will be filled
with many. People will use the TV for entertainment. Sex scenes will also be
shown on the screen, the most intimate things that take place in a marriage."
(This was written in 1968 when these things would still have been unthinkable)
Fourthly. “People from poor countries will stream to Europe. They will also
come to Scandinavia and Norway. There will be so many of them that people
will begin to dislike them and will become hard towards them. They will be
treated like the Jews before the Second World War. Then the full measure of
our sins will have been reached."
The tears streamed down the old woman's cheeks, “I will not see, but you will.
Then suddenly, Jesus will come and the third world war breaks out. It will be a
short war. 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 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. 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 poorer countries but they
will be as hard on us as we were on them.
The one who has his sin forgiven and has Jesus as Saviour and Lord is safe"
