America
In Trouble

his prophetic word was given to Prophetess hilda arredondo and released to the body of Christ in the March 2008. Today, right before our eyes, we see many of the events she warned about in this prophecy are coming to pass!
She wrote, “Moving into the New Year (2008) we can see it has begun with much sorrow to the wicked. Yet, you and I as God's children, must draw close to Him and encourage ourselves in His promises. Hebrew 6:18-20 (LB) reads, "...Now all those who flee to him to save them can take new courage when they hear such assurances from God; now they can know without doubt that he will give them the salvation he has promised them. This certain hope of being saved is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls, connecting us with God himself behind the sacred curtains of heaven, where Christ has gone ahead to plead for us from his position as our High Priest, with the honor and rank of Melchizedek."
As we look around our nation we can agree that surely this is a time of sorrow and trouble for America. In Ezekiel Chapter 7:1-3, it reads, "Moreover the Word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations." Our God was furious to say the least with Israel's abominations. They had stirred up His wrath and He was sending His anger to them saying, whatever direction you look, North, East, South, or West, the four corners of your land is finished! “No hope remains, for I will loose my anger on you for your worshipping of idols.” Ezekiel 7:3. (LB) The Almighty God was sending a message to Israel and notifying them that because of all their abominations He would turn His face away from them and show them no pity. He would repay them in full for their sin of idolatry, and they would know the great "I Am the Lord." The word recompense in the above scripture means, "I will repay you in full." How was He coming to repay Israel? Further in this chapter Ezekiel 7:5-8, it reads, "Thus saith the Lord God; An evil, an only evil, behold is come. An end is come: the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come. The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains. Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thy abominations." God, in simpler words, was declaring to Israel, "I will repay you with my judgments and this is how I am going to do it: I will pour out my fury," which meant that He would send one blow after another to finish them off. The final doomsday was upon Israel. She would be in anguish and her joy would be gone and all her evil deeds would not go unpunished. Israel had gone their own way and God was not pleased. They had broken covenant and now God was judging them. "The Lord God says: "With one blow after another I will finish you...." Ezekiel 7:5-6
***The Glory Prophet ***

he Lord spoke to them through the Prophet Ezekiel. The anointing that he carried was not to deal with sin in the unsaved, but rather the sin of the church. Ezekiel means "He is strong." God was strong in this anointing. This anointing could not be conjured up or copied. It was a strong anointing that would deal with sin, rebellion, and depravity which is immorality, perversion, and corruption. He was a "Holy of Holies" prophet with the anointing of an “Eleventh Hour Prophet" that rested on him. He was a prophet that had gone through the Fire of God and he carried God's Glory. The Lord would deal with the people of Israel who were deceived into thinking that they had done no wrong and carrying a "Scorpion Nature" to attack and sting those who stood against the "Greasy Grace Message" of that time. These people had lost their way of holiness and righteousness having little or no discernment whatsoever. When John the Baptist in his time came out of the wilderness eating honey and locust, wearing camel's hair raiment and a leather girdle declaring to the people of that day, "Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham." Matthew 3:8-9. In other words John the Baptist was saying, you say you are the children of Abraham, if you are, you would bring forth fruit, yet I don't see any fruit nor does the God that I serve. Your lives need to change and reflect Christ. He further warned them that the axe was coming to the roots of the trees; therefore, every tree which does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Church, as we continue to read in the book of Ezekiel, we read about Israel's judgment and many of us may think - how sad! Our next question could be how did they get there? Today, as a modern day watchman, I declare that America is in the same shape and place that Israel was then, and the judgment of God is now upon America. Blow after blow of calamities keep coming because of our disobedience, abominations, and idolatry. Yet, we keep blaming the devil. It is not the devil, but rather our sin and the "Greasy Grace Messages" that have opened up these "Terrible Judgments" upon us. This last month (February 2008), within a seven (7) day period there have been five (5) school shootings, killing and wounding many students in the United States. This is only the beginning of the "death angel judgment" of our young. Today, our schools have been opened up to the "Man in Black" carrying the slaughter weapon in his hand shooting down students. By pushing God out of our modern day schools as we have done, rejecting the Bible, the Ten Commandments, and our God, we have declared NO BLOOD OF JESUS over the door post of our schools. NO TEN COMMANDMENTS, NO BIBLE, or GOD OF THE BIBLE – then NO DIVINE PROTECTION! We have left the door wide open for the "Death Angel Judgment." As Americans, some of us are raising our children in our homes and schools without a Godly education, and as Christians many times we want our children to fit in the kingdom of darkness and at the same time be children of the light. Many Christians allow their children to be involved in most of what the world has to offer and then we wonder why our children are confused. Thank God for the children whose parents are raising them for the Lord Jesus! The prophet further cried in Ezekiel 7:12 (LB), "Yes, the time has come; the day draws near. There will be nothing to buy or sell, for the wrath of God is on the land. And even if a merchant lives, his business will be gone, for God has spoken against all the people of Israel; all will be destroyed. Not one of those whose lives are filled with sin will recover." The Prophet Warned Economic Disaster is surely upon us. A threatening tidal wave of home foreclosures ARE being announced by the economists! Also, the American dollar is quickly dying. Oh, what an economic storm is coming! In Ezekiel 7:19 (LB) it reads, "Throw away your money! Toss it out like worthless rubbish, for it will have no value in that day of wrath. It will neither satisfy nor feed you for your love of money is the reason for your sin." Why? As Israel, we also love material possessions more than we love Him. As Israel, many of us are idolaters and covet modern day "Messages of Prosperity" to feed our idolatry. Tornadoes, which are the Whirlwinds of Destruction, have hit us killing many throughout our nation. Much destruction has followed with the "Wind of Judgment" and blow after blow will continue. In Ezekiel 7:5-6, the Lord God says, "...With one blow after another I will finish you..." Last month over sixty-one (61) people were killed from the tornado blows. The multiple "Death Judgments" are upon us. Just recently a crowd watched some cars drag race in Maryland. Another oncoming car that was not part of the drag racing plowed into the crowd and eight (8) people were killed and six (6) injured. A man opened fire at a city council meeting and killed six (6). This is just the beginning of many incidents of judgment of this nature - multiples of death - much sorrow is on the horizon for America. An explosion in Georgia killed five (5) people and more were missing. This is not a blessing, but rather judgment upon a nation who has strayed away from God. As the "Umbrella of Safety" is being lifted much disaster will continue. The prophet cried out in Ezekiel 7:9, "And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know I am the Lord that smiteth." The God that "smiteth" is Jehovah Makeh, the God that kills.
***What You Sow You Reap***
I |
n Ezekiel 7:10-11, "Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them." The Prophet cried in simpler words, "What you have sown, you will reap! Your sinful abominations have blossomed, pride hath budded and a rod of wickedness has come upon you, violence is risen up." The Prophet cried in Ezekiel 7:23-24 (LB), "Prepare chains for my people, for the land is full of bloody crimes. Jerusalem is filled with violence, so I will enslave her people. I will crush your pride by bringing to Jerusalem the worst of the nations to occupy your homes, break down your fortifications you are so proud of, and defile your Temple." Have we paid close attention lately to who is buying up the foreclosed homes and businesses in America? Who is coming into our land to occupy the homes? Church, please pray that we wake up and see what is happening. The presence of the one true God is leaving us and all we can expect is, "Calamity upon calamity will befall you; woe upon woe, disaster upon disaster!" Ezekiel 7:26-27 (LB). Beloved, where are we headed today? We claim to be the heirs of Abraham and blood bought but do we have fruit? In the above scripture it warns; prepare chains for my people, for the land is full of bloody crimes. Isn't this America's lot? Women and men found murdered in the city, fields, and rivers all over this land. Just recently a woman was found murdered so gruesomely. When police entered the home of the murder, some of her body parts were boiling on the stove in a pot and another part of her body was on a plate on the table with a fork stuck through it. As the story goes, she and her boyfriend had a quarrel and this is what he did to her. What American mind would do such a thing? Our young have no God in them because their consciences have been seared. Our nation is plunging into a great darkness of evil. I foresee a crime wave with murder, rape, robberies, and break-ins like never before. It will thrust us into one of the darkest times of turmoil in the history of this country.
***God's Presence Creates an Umbrella***
G |
od's presence, which is the light of our Nation, is lifting off of our country. (Psalm 119:105) We will lose His protection and material blessing; it will go to the spoilers from other nations and we will no longer be the head (the head being the leader nation) but rather become the tail. Oh, how I cry in my heart as I see this happening to our precious country. The umbrella of Almighty God is lifting off of us. Our blessing, peace, and safety are leaving. What is the umbrella? The "Umbrella" is like an invisible canopy or a "Spiritual Covering" that hovers over the nation. That Canopy of Blessing, Love and Divine Protection was made up of the God of the Bible, the Ten Commandments, and Jesus Christ the Lord of Glory. No other gods from other nations have the power to be the God of the Universe that we serve. Opening the door for new leaders with new religions to step into leadership offices in America is suicide - surely the end of all things, as the Prophet declared, has come to America. Don't we realize what a mistake that will be—we will fall under their umbrella or covering with their god who has no power, no prosperity and can offer no safety or peace over us. As the umbrella of Almighty God lifts off the nation we will have to make sure that our own personal umbrella and the corporate umbrella of our churches is sure and sound under the blood of Jesus. This means more than saying I believe in the Blood of Jesus. We will have to be living for Christ and walking in holiness which cultivates His presence. That will be the only thing that will protect us in these last days. Our sins in America have thrust us into a Coming Economic Disaster, a Wave of Crime like no other, the Blessing of Prosperity Being Removed, a Tidal Wave of Foreclosures on the horizon, a Weather Judgment of Severe Weather, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Winds, Floods, Earthquakes, Hail Explosions, Fires, Multiple Deaths, etc. Church, run for cover; run to the Canopy, and Umbrella of Jesus Christ. The "Wind of Judgment" is already here and only a GREAT NATIONAL REPENTANCE can help us now!! Let us Run to the One that can Protect, Hide, And Love us—JESUS CHRIST the LORD of GLORY.”To God Be the Glory!
