Introduction and Comments by David Nelson for the writing by Clifford Hilbert entitled “The Destruction of the USA”

On 8-7-09 I received a lengthy prophetic word authored by Clifford Hilbert. It is entitled “The Destruction of the USA.” I feel it is a very significant word that I am making available for all to read. If you have any comments or insights about any part of this word please let me know what you see or think from the Lord and I will write you back.

I am not sure about every detail in Clifford’s word but I think as a whole it ought to be seriously considered. The 1^st writing you will read present my comments on certain subjects in Clifford’s writing. I have not commented on all subjects, the rest is for you to think about and ask the Lord to show you what is right (or like Mary, Jesus’ mother, to ponder them in your heart). The 2^nd writing will be Clifford’s writing “The Destruction of the USA” in its entirety.

Please realize, if you don’t like something Clifford has said or the way he said it, that we have many types of personalities in the Body of Christ that may express the same truths in different words and in different ways. As with myself, and I’m sure Clifford would agree, men can make mistakes, so go to the Lord and go to His Word. The Lord will show you the way.

1^st writing --Comments by David Nelson

It has taken a forced isolation, an escaping from the gravity of earthly things and a degree of boredom to escape the things of the world to see more clearly the things God wants us to see. He will show you also many things if you seek His face diligently and will turn away from earthly “delights.” God will reveal many things to you if you seek Him and do not give up.

Christians of many different denominations do not realize that one of the highest things with God is love. Many Christians have very, very little of it. We should ask the Lord to show us how to love more, and really understand how He wants us to love Him and love each other more.

Many in the Church think they are saved but God wants us to understand what it really means to be saved. Jesus said, “This is eternal life, to know Him….” (Jn. 17:3) We must know the Lord and have a relationship with Him. We must talk to Him and know His voice when He talks to us. With this relationship we will grow in righteousness and become like Him in holiness. We are to know His voice, follow Him and love Him.

The Word of God is written but the Spirit of God must infuse the Word so that it is a Living Word to us (not just the letter but the Spirit and the letter).  Without the Spirit we will not understand the Word as we ought to, sermons will not be anointed, the oracles of God will not be spoken through us by the Gifts of the Spirit.  There is so much lacking today in sermons and teachings, we are not hearing from the throne of God, we need to hear "Thus saith the Lord" from those who are ministering.  We want fresh break from heaven!

It is not right the way pastors are treated as kings by the people of congregations. Every person has at least one spiritual gift, the pastor is just one gift (and often he/she has far over stepped their function), every person should be allowed to express their spiritual gifts as the Holy Spirit directs. The pastor may have to be silent and let all the people move in their gifts as God directs them. Then all will see that God is the King, and He will be more glorified by the abundance of variety of giftings that He is allowed to bring forth. The reputed leaders may just fall silent for a time to show that God is the center, when He is allowed to do anything He wants through anyone at any time He chooses.

The New and Old Testaments teach more about suffering and not that everything is going to go well for us all the time. The “faith” message  gives the idea that we can control our circumstances. Going through hard things deepens our character and makes the gold of our faith purer through various sufferings. A deeper joy will come from the firing of our gold. Not just a shallow happiness of “all good times” but a deep joy that everything (good and bad) works together to make us what He wants us to be. (there will be times of fire and times of rich blessings too). People are being deceived when they are told that they can control all circumstances with their words or their faith. Things do happen to us ordained by God in which we must keep our eyes upon God and keep trusting in Him even when hard things do not go away.

There is very little discernment in much of the Body of Christ today. Much of what is on religious programming today must be discerned as to what is of God and what isn’t. Asking for money all the time is not right, it stinks in God’s nostrils, and it stinks to anyone who can discern how wrong it is. Much of what is being taught is not anointed messages from the throne of God. Where is the Lord’s voice in all this that is being said? Where are those who can say, “Thus saith the Lord” with the Lord’s authority in their voices and their words?

For those who have been seeking the Lord in these last years God has been preparing us by various trials for even harder times ahead. We are being made ready. We are learning to have our eyes on the Lord alone and trust Him and understand His loving care. It would be great if we were whisked out of this world by the Lord before anything gets too bad. But I believe there may be greater trials ahead. Many “Christians” will not pass the tests that are ahead because there will be a falling away, a dividing line, with those who do not love the truth and want to believe lies and be comfortable on one side, and those who love the truth and who know their God on the other side. God Himself will send a strong delusion and allow them to believe a lie for those who do not love the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness. (II Thess. 2:3, 9-12) We must not be in love with this world but love God and sacrifice to follow the Spirit only. There will also be a persecution of the true Church. Some will be imprisoned, some tortured, and some will be martyred (put to death) because of their faith.

The USA is becoming like Sodom and Gomorrah. We kill unborn babies, we allow homosexuals and lesbians to be accepted as normal, we are letting them get married to each other. This is an abomination to the Lord and to all true Christians. Babylon will be judged and will fall in all the details described in the Old and New testaments. It will not be averted and will happen exactly as the Scriptures detail.

I have heard from reliable, spiritual men and women that cities in the USA will be destroyed by nuclear attacks from enemy submarines on both coasts (east and west). I also have heard that a tidal wave will hit New York city destroying much and that the statue of Liberty will fall. Revelation says that there will be numerous instances of “falling stars” striking the earth. (Rev. 6:13; 8:8,10; 9:1) The books of Daniel and Revelation say that the Church will be persecuted and that Christians will not be able to buy or sell (because they are not to take the mark of the beast on their hands or foreheads).
