Dave Wilkerson's Prophecy
synopsis and comment by Bill Somers
David Wilkerson wrote 'Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth' in 1985. The first paragraph of chapter one reads thus.
America is going to be destroyed by fire! Sudden destruction is coming and few will escape. Unexpectedly, and in one hour, a hydrogen holocaust will engulf America -- and this nation will be no more.
It is because America has sinned against the greatest light. Other nations are just as sinful, but none are as flooded with gospel light as ours. God is going to judge America for its violence, its crimes, its backsliding, its murdering of millions of babies, its flaunting of homosexuality and sadomasochism, its corruption, its drunkenness and drug abuse, its form of godliness without power, its lukewarmness toward Christ, its rampant divorce and adultery, its lewd pornography, its child molestations, its cheatings, its robbings, its dirty movies, and its occult practices.
In one hour it will all be over. To the natural mind it is insanity to come against a prosperous, powerful nation and cry out, "It's all over! Judgment is at the door! Our days are numbered!" The Church is asleep, the congregations are at ease, and the shepherds slumber. How they will scoff and laugh at this message. Theologians will reject it because they can't fit it into their doctrine. The pillow prophets of peace and prosperity will publicly denounce it.
I no longer care. God has made my face like flint and put steel in my backbone. I am blowing the Lord's trumpet with all my might. Let the whole world and all the church call me crazy, but I must blow the trumpet and awaken God's people. Believe it or not, America is about to be shaken and set aside by swift and horrible judgments. Many other praying believers who have been shut in with God are hearing the very same message - "Judgment is at the door! Prepare, awaken!"
Ever since this message came to me, I have been searching God's Word from cover to cover. No prophecy is valid unless it is positively confirmed by God's holy Word. I discovered in the Word God's pattern of judgment.....

He goes on to say, later in the chapter that, this will be an attack from Russia. And "The great holocaust follows an economic collapse in America. The enemy will make its move when we are weak and helpless."
He says that

"America will not Repent"...."God promised to preserve America only if it turned from its evil....This nation has not repented but has turned its back....I see almighty God even now slowly turning His back on this nation. America is on the verge of committing the unpardonable sin by resisting the Holy Ghost. Soon, there will be repentance only for individuals, but not for the nation."
The remainder of the book discusses at great length the sins of America and the Scriptural basis for her judgment at the hand of God.
Note that he says that America will be destroyed in this attack. The attack will come well before Armageddon, the day of the Lord. And that America will not repent, but will suffer judgment unto total desolation.
He does not hold out any hope of staying God's judgment through prayer or by the coming of revival. He feels the judgment is unavoidable, perhaps because he feels America will not repent.

Personal Comment

I believe he is right about judgment coming, and that it is unavoidable. But he is wrong because the coming judgment will not be one of total desolation. And there will come a point where America will finally repent, but only during the judgment.
