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:

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 suchnonsense. In 1937 it was indeed nonsense to talk about oil beingpumped 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).

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."

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.

I was cautioned about this when I asked about finding a church before I moved to NC.

I was told to look for a church where the music only came from the voices of those in the church and not from musical instruments or recordings.

Most of the those I ask about why they attend their church first say for the music and second for the sermon.

Not having been raised in a faith, it can be confusing...

I am currently reading this book.

BTW, this book was written in 1881; you wouldn't believe how accurate it is!

Reading this book was one of the greatest graces of my life!"
— St. Thérèse of Lisieux

In the late nineteenth century, Father Charles Arminjon, a priest from the mountains of southeastern France, assembled his flock in the town cathedral to preach a series of conferences to help them turn their thoughts away from this life’s mean material affairs—and toward the next life’s glorious spiritual reward. His wise and uncompromising words deepened in them the spirit of recollection that all Christians must have: the abiding conviction that heavenly aims, not temporal enthusiasms, must guide everything we think, say, and do.

When Father Arminjon’s conferences were later published in a book, many others were able to reap the same benefit—including fourteen-year-old Thérèse Martin, then on the cusp of entering the Carmelite convent in Lisieux. Reading it, she says, “plunged my soul into a happiness not of this earth.” Young Thérèse, filled with a sense of “what God reserves for those who love him, and seeing that the eternal rewards had no proportion to the light sacrifices of life,” copied out numerous passages and memorized them, “repeating unceasingly the words of love burning in my heart.”

Now the very book that so inspired the Little Flower is available for the first time in English.

Let the pages of The End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life fill you with the same burning words of love, with the same ardent desire to know God above all created things, that St. Thérèse gained from them. Let them also enrich your understanding of certain teachings of the Faith that can often seem so mysterious, even frightening:

The signs that will precede the world’s end
The coming of the Antichrist, and how to recognize him
The Judgment and where it may send us: heaven, hell, and purgatory
Biblical end-times prophecy: how to read it and not be deceived
Jesus commands us to be ever-watchful for his return, and ever-mindful that we have no lasting city on earth. The End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life is an invaluable aid to inculcating in your spirit that heavenly orientation, without which true human happiness cannot be found—in this world or the next.

I have been a prophecy teacher for 24 years and much has changed since 1990. I have no way to verify what was related in the 1968 vision but the list presented is what we see today and it in itself should be sufficient to wonder about and confirm ones relationship to God through Christ Jesus by the Power of the Holy Spirit. This is true should Christ return tonight or in 50 years for we never know when we will die, which, of course, we all will. One has nothing to lose in accepting Christ. It cost nothing and asks only that you keep Him in mind and commune with him. On the other hand, should one overtly reject the Gospel because it is just a bother, interferes with individual sexual or other desires, Hell which is political incorrect in these days is the end results. Regardless of what Pope Francis proclaims, Atheists who reject God and the Grace of Christ Jesus are damned, period. Homosexually is not normal and in Leviticus 18 and Romans 1 the subject is covered. Also, worshiping the creature, Satan, rather than the Creator is mentioned. A wise man will consider that which lies beyond the grave regardless of what the Pope or 90 year old ladies report.
