1968 Prophecy by a 90 Year Old Norwegian Woman (for discernment only)

Various ^ | November 2010 - Present

[NYer]

This prophecy was given by a 90 yr. old woman in Norway 42 years ago about events leading up to the second coming of Christ. An Evangelist by the name of Emanuel Minos wrote this prophecy down in 1968 and thought it was so extreme that he put it away. He recently reviewed the prophecy and was amazed that it is not "extreme" anymore--but the norm in our society. Read the prophecy below.

An old woman of 90 from Valdres in Norway had a vision from God in 1968. The evangelist Emanuel Minos had meetings (services) where she lived. He had the opportunity to meet her, and she told him what she had seen. He wrote it down, but thought it to be so unintelligible that he put it in a drawer. Now, almost 30 years later, he understands he has to share the vision with others.

The woman from Valdres was a very alert, reliable, awake and credible Christian, with a good reputation among all who knew her. This is what she saw:

"I saw the time just before the coming of Jesus and the outbreak of the Third World War. I saw the events with my natural eyes. I saw the world like a kind of a globe and saw Europe, land by land. I saw Scandinavia. I saw Norway. I saw certain things that would take place just before the return of Jesus, and just before the last calamity happens, a calamity the likes of which we have never before experienced.

She mentioned four waves:

1. "First before Jesus comes and before the Third World War breaks out there will be a ‘détente’ like we have never had before. There will be peace between the super powers in the east and the west, and there will be a long peace. (Remember, that this was in 1968 when the cold war was at its highest. E. Minos) In this period of peace there will be disarmament in many countries, also in Norway and we are not prepared when it (the war) comes. The Third World War will begin in a way no one would have anticipated - and from an unexpected place.

2. "A lukewarmness without parallel will take hold of the Christians, a falling away from true, living Christianity. Christians will not be open for penetrating preaching. They will not, like in earlier times, 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 in this way. Churches and prayer houses will be emptier and emptier. Instead of the preaching we have been used to for generations -like, to take your cross up and follow Jesus, - 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.

3. "There will be a moral disintegration that old Norway has never experienced the likes of. People will live together like married without being married. (I do not believe the concept ‘co-habitor’? existed in 1968 - E. Minos.) Much uncleanness before marriage, and much infidelity in marriage will become the natural (the common), and it will be justified from every angle. It will even enter Christian circles and we pet it - even sin against nature. Just before Jesus return there will be TV- programs like we have never experienced. (TV had just arrived in Norway in 1968. E. Minos)

"TV will be filled with such horrible violence that it teaches people to murder and destroy each other, and it will be unsafe in our streets. People will copy what they see. There will not be only one ‘station’ on TV, it will be filled with ‘stations.’ (She did not know the word ‘channel’ which we use today. Therefore she called them stations. E. Minos.) TV will be just like the radio where we have many ‘stations,’ and it will be filled with violence. People will use it for entertainment. We will see terrible scenes of murder and destruction one of the other, and this will spread in society. Sex scenes will also be shown on the screen, the most intimate things that takes place in a marriage." (I protested and said, we have a paragraph that forbids this kind of thing. E. Minos.) There the old woman said: "It will happen, and you will see it. All we have had before will be broken down, and the most indecent things will pass before our eyes."

4. "People from poor countries will stream to Europe. (In 1968 there was no such thing as immigration. E. Minos.) They will also come to Scandinavia - and Norway. There will be so many of them that people will begin to dislike them and become hard with them. They will be treated like the Jews before the Second World War. Then the full measure of our sins will have been reached (I protested at the issue of immigration. I did not understand it at the time. E. Minos.)

The tears streamed from the old woman’s eyes down her cheeks. "I will not see it, but you will. Then suddenly, Jesus will come and the Third World War breaks out. It will be a short war." (She saw it in the vision.)

"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 atom 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 (contaminated?). 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 poor countries, but they will be as hard on us as we were on them.

"I am so glad that I will not see it, but when the time draws near, you must take courage and tell this. I have received it from God, and nothing of it goes against what the Bible tells.

"The one who has his sin forgiven and has Jesus as Savior and Lord, is safe."

WHEN THE OIL FLOWS

An elder in the Pentecostal Church at Moss, Norway, Martin Andersen, heard the following prophecy in 1937, in Moss:

‘When oil comes out of the North Sea and along the Norwegian coast, things will begin to happen, and the return of Jesus is approaching.’

When these words had been proclaimed, people stood up in the congregation and asked the man to sit down and not speak such nonsense. In 1937 it was indeed nonsense to talk about oil being pumped along the Norwegian coast. Today all the world’s big oil companies are pumping oil along the coast of Norway. Norway is the world’s second greatest exporter of oil - after Saudi Arabia.

The sum of it all is: Jesus is coming soon (suddenly).

NOTE

One often doubts prophecies; hence the "discernment" notice. This prophecy is circulating around the internet. A poster on a different blog forum, seriously questioned the veracity of the prophecy and did some research. Here is their post:

Original source editor’s note: The above account was originally transmitted from Israel to friends in the US. It was sent by a Norwegian Christian worker by the name of Ragna Von Porat.

Ragna states in a footnote that it was translated from Danish. She further states that Emanuel Minos, the evangelist mentioned in the account,was her friend’s closest neighbor in Oslo. She says, "I heard him in
my young days. My parents knew him."

Because of my fear of transmitting false prophecy, I have diligentlyinquired concerning the information in this letter. Publication has been delayed until permission could be secured from Ragna in Israel.

In my contact with her, she has assured me that these accounts are true and reliable. In fact, she relates that the first account has already been published in one of Norway’s Christian newspapers.

I have found in my own research that the first account was also published by the Christian Information Service in Germany.

The website
of Dr. Emanuel Minos is active today and can be accessed for
verification. Although the language on this site is Norwegian, the very similar story of the woman and her vision is posted there in English. The above accounts are transmitted just as they werereceived.

Ragna took it upon herself to verify as much of the above informationas she could. In contacting the Embassy of Norway she learned that Norway has now dropped to the world’s third largest oil exporter.

Ragna states, "I certainly have no objection to your going ahead [withpublishing]. It must be now-if ever."

Seemed fitting to post this, after O’s address.

Incredibly generic prediction, I see this as basically silly, of course things will be bad before He returns. YAWN ...

[NavyCanDo]

Late 1960s and early 1970s End-Times prophecy books flooded the bible book store shelves. Hal Lindsey's book, The Late Great Planet Earth, being the most notable and most of us young Evangelical Christians owned a copy.

Whether these writers were on to something or not, you would have to have your head stuck in the sand not to see that something has been set in motion over the last ten years or so.

[Elendur]

most thought-provoking. thanks for posting this.
certainly this could have been created recently,
and backdated to 1968.
but i find the details like the phrasing “live together”, etc., sounds believable.

if it really was written in 1968, then the “many stations”,
people coming from “poor countries”, etc. is interesting.
and the many mega-churches preaching about praying for wealth and financial gain:

“Christians will not be open for penetrating preaching. They will not, like in earlier times, want to hear of sin and grace, law and gospel, repentance and restoration. There will come a substitute instead: prosperity (happiness) Christianity.”

true or not, i hope people will read it, and ready extra oil for their lamp...

Prophecy often has multiple interpretations, and its validity is generally related to the prophet or purported prophet’s spiritual purity. She may have received from God a vision which was true, and overlaid it with her own fears and flaws. This case is also illustrating why prophets tend to be despised at the time of their prophecies - it’s not easy to understand what’s seen when what doesn’t exist yet is only imperfectly related to what does exist at the time and is in general understanding of the time.

Certainly prayer now would be helpful.

Also, for those interested, have a look online for Siener van Rensburg. The first word is a title, ‘Seer’, not his name. He was a South African, Afrikaner and Boer, who learned to read from the Bible (taught at home). And that is supposed to have been the only book he ever read. He didn’t at the time - the Boer War - have great reasons to be optimistic about the future of his people, and of the developed world in general, but the resolution in his prophecy was more optimistic, if I recall correctly.

It smells fishy. It reads like someone sat down and wrote a short summary of the spiritual history of the last 40-50 years and presented it as prophecy. I wonder if there is any documentation that proves the prophecy was actually given in 1968. I mean documentary evidence.

Much prophecy points to this period in history.

ping for later, though I would like to know of what religious affiliation the woman and evangelist are.

Whom I believe to be a strong candidate for the last pope.

Why is it that these clowns always claim to have put it away and only recently discovered it again? I agree with you. Yawn...

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The result will be that only a remnant will remain. The remnant in the wealthy countries will try to flee to the poor countries, but they will be as hard on us as we were on them.

That doesn't sound like the end of the world, but maybe that's just me.

If you keep right with God, it shouldn’t matter what prophecies have to say. You’ll always be ready to go!

[VanDeKoik]

Seems more like something passed around the internet by people that love to forward whatever gets into their inbox.

[oh8eleven]

Yeah, the 60s and 70s were just full of prophecies...

[GreyFriar]

Oh well. sigh........
