Scandinavian prophecies (SK) regarding revival and times of war

2.1 Scandinavian prophecies (SK) regarding revival and times of war

Prophecy: SK 1
given 1937 NORTH SEA OIL - A SIGN OF THE TIMES
by Anderson, in Moss, Norway; restated by Pastor Emanuel Minos.

CONCERNING DEVELOPMENTS IN: THE WORLD	CONCERNING DEVELOPMENTS IN: CHRISTIANITY	GOD'S WORD TO: THE CHURCH
When oil comes up along the whole North Sea coast:
Things will begin to happen		And the return of Christ is drawing near.

At the time, this prophecy was regarded as such nonsense that it did not receive wide notice:

From a technical standpoint, oil from the North Sea was at that time regarded as an improbability.
In addition, the prophecy pushed the rapture of the bride far into the future. Even 50 years later, it was still considered both customary and pious to expect Jesus' return at any time, despite clear teaching from the Bible that this could not occur before the Antichrist had appeared on the scene.

Time has certainly proved that the prophecy was from God and that unfortunately, the congregation's judgment was incorrect. This is what can happen when human reason and tradition comprise the only measuring stick.

Prophecy: SK2
given 1968 CONCERNING OUR OWN TIME
by a 90 year old woman in Valdres, Norway; restated by Pastor Emanuel Minos.

CONCERNING DEVELOPMENTS IN: THE WORLD	CONCERNING DEVELOPMENTS IN: CHRISTIANITY	GOD'S WORD TO: THE CHURCH
*1. Before Jesus' return, we will see:* an extended peace, with reduction in tensions between superpowers disarmament leaves us ill-prepared for the 3rd world war (see point 6)
	*2. A prevailing luke-warmness spreads among Christians:* Bless-me Christianity, with success preaching replaces true conversion and repentance at the cross. Churches become even emptier Instead, there is entertainment, art, and cultural activities
*3a. An unprecedented moral degradation, characterized by:* immorality preceding marriage unfaithfulness in marriage living together unmarried becomes common many divorces perverse sins become common	*3b. The development resembles that of the world all too closely.*
*4. TV plays a large role in the corruption to the selfish lifestyle of the world:* Many channels become available, filled with violence and criminality as entertainment, including sex scenes (forbidden at the time, and there was just one channel)
*5. Europe is affected by such a massive influx of refugees that:* people begin to resent them and eventually treat them like the Jews were treated during the war with this, the cup of judgment is full, and
*6.The third world war breaks out:* It begins in an unexpected manner as a conventional war, which escalates into a nuclear war which few survive. Air, water, and soil become so destroyed that people from Europe, America, Australia, Japan, and other industrialized countries are forced to flee to poorer countries, where they meet with the same treatment which we gave our refugees.

In one of Minos' two written versions, it appears that the woman places the rapture of the bride just before the third world war.

Prophecy: SK3
given 1996 A GREAT REVIVAL THROUGHOUT SWEDEN
by an Arab in Jordan; restated by Pastor Birger Skoglund.

CONCERNING DEVELOPMENTS IN:
THE WORLD

CONCERNING DEVELOPMENTS IN:
CHRISTIANITY

GOD'S WORD TO:
THE CHURCH

SK3

In connection with a meeting in Jordan, Birger Skoglund, together with his wife, received a prophetic word from an Arabian Christian. The first part, which was a personal message to the Skoglunds, was given in broken English. But when the message switched to the subject of revival in Sweden, the words came in impeccable Swedish. From their conversation afterwards, it became apparent that the Arab did not know any Swedish at all, and that he couldn't even manage to distinguish between Sweden and Switzerland. The prophecy was as follows:
"This is what the Lord your God says. Go home to your country and tell all my people that I the Lord have ignited a fire which will burn from Smygehus in the south to Treriksroset in the north, and from Gothenberg in the west to Stockholm in the east. You will no longer say, as you have often said before, that a new time is coming! No, say to all my people that this new time has already begun."

From section one we can learn, not to despise any small beginning. Along this line I consider mid 90th of crucial importance with the start of the revivals in Pensacola and Toronto, as well as the European satellite channel, "God Channel". Since then, these have positively influenced millions of Christians from a variety of churches and denominations.

Prophecy: SK4
given 1998 MORE ABOUT SWEDEN'S FUTURE
by a woman in Falun; read at the Pentecostal pastors' conference in Stockholm in 1998.

CONCERNING DEVELOPMENTS IN: THE WORLD	CONCERNING DEVELOPMENTS IN: CHRISTIANITY	GOD'S WORD TO: THE CHURCH
		1.God confirms the promise of revival in Sweden, according to SK3
2.God's heart grieves over the ravages of sin in Sweden		*but rejoices over* over those who faithfully serve him *in the ministry of intercession.* All prayers which are collected in the bowls of heaven will be answered.
		3.It is important that you who are leaders walk in a way that: my power can be poured out my people are led out in freedom, and they receive the protection which is needed for the coming times.
		4.Your battle is against the spiritual forces of wickedness. In this realm you will win victories by: raising up the house of prayer, and teaching people to pray with focused goals, and with endurance. A prayer altar in the home "places the shielding blood on your doorposts" in preparation for the future.
		5.When you uphold my name in these gatherings, I will: Pour out my Spirit, and bold faith will rise up in you.
	6. A praying congregation will not remain sitting still and focused inward but *will become focused outward in power and love.*
7a. *Your world is on the brink of great changes:* All of nature will become more out of balance. Crops are destroyed by drought, flooding, over-cultivation of a single crop, and overuse of fertilizers. As a result, food shortages will increase. *Even wealthy countries* will feel the effect of this.		7b. *Therefore, encourage the farmers in Sweden* to continue to care well for the earth and their livestock. For the country which cannot produce their own food will become all too vulnerable.
*8a.The decrease in international tensions will enter a new phase:*** The Russian people will demand a new leadership, which will begin to govern the country with an iron hand, and will turn the country away from the west. The former Eastern bloc countries will remain independent, however. Russia and some of the former Sovjet states, will form a new pact. Borders will be closed; travel remains possible, but more difficult.		*8b.Take advantage of your possibilities of sending the Gospel over radio and TV,*** for this will have an even greater significance. Complement this with: personal finance advice, and how one can provide for oneself through private businesses or employment in the future.
*9a.The economic crisis in Asia*** is not over, but will become worse: Japan will experience economic ruin, which has serious consequences in Asia, and which even hits hard against the USA.
9b. *A time is coming when the dollar loses its stabilizing effect* upon the currencies of the world: A global depression will result when this happens, which is hard on the poor nations, but which is especially difficult for the industrialized nations.
9c. *Money will however, still be available,* and it will be possible to conduct business, *but apathy and confusion will paralyze people* so that they fail to realize the opportunities.		10a. *When this happens, I desire my people to be prepared, and filled with power,* for I will use you to powerfully minister to the nations, and to your country, Sweden.
		10b. At this stage, and already now *, I will use my people who walk by the leading of the Spirit:* then a salesperson will find customers, and technicians will grasp the solutions to their problems
		10c. When people see the drive and forward-looking attitude you have, *they will understand that it is I who give you the power, and then they will turn to me.*
11a. Then your worship services will double in size, *for Sweden will be shaken by a mighty revival, and will once again be called a Christian nation.*
		11b.Your missions budgets will increase, because: *I will use Sweden to minister to Europe and other parts of the world.* I will give you a strategy to select *key cities* in Europe. From these, believers will support one another in a *network,* so that *my kingdom spreads out over the earth.* The secret to all of this lies in establishing a *prayer army* throughout your land. *Do not grow weary in doing good and helping those who suffer.*
		12. At the time when *people from every nation exalt me in praise and intercession,* this will prepare the way for my return.
