A Vision of Coming Judgment To America In the Last Days — Dean Odle

It was exactly what he had asked anyway, so I hate to be a damper on an evening, but I have to share some things that I believe God has given to me and revealed to me and to others that I know across the world, prophetically speaking.

I'm just so you know, my name is Dean Odell, and I pastor a church over in Auburn, Alabama. I've pastored in Montgomery, Alabama, and I've pastored over in Washington, D .C. for a while, and traveled to the Middle East, ministered there and the island of Mauritius and Nigeria.

Repentance, Surrender, and the Call to Live for Jesus

So I've been around a little bit, and years ago, I'm just going to start with this. Years ago, you know, I was saved when I was young, 11 years old, in a Baptist church, and a powerful born-again experience I had with the Lord, and Jesus became very real to me at that time.

But like many teenagers and like many people do, things happen, and you end up drifting away. And I drifted away while I was in high school and while I was in college and bad and just lived in sin and just lived a horrible, immoral life and alcohol and drugs and immorality.

And God began to convict me again, and God had people. He began to lead people into my life, and conviction came into my life. And I remember when the Lord spoke to me, I had a modeling contract at the time.

I know you can't tell now, but that was many years ago. And I had just had a screen test for soap operas and also an offer to be in a movie with Bruce Willis way back when called Die Hard, the first one.

But God began to convict me, and I was miserable and depressed, and I am going somewhere with this, so just bear with me. But when God brought His conviction on me and began to speak to me, this was the first time I ever heard God, I can say, speak to my heart, where it was words, and I heard Him very clearly, not like you hear me, but He spoke in my spirit, and He said very clearly when I was struggling with this decision because I was going to be rich and famous, have anything I wanted, do anything I wanted, or I was going to live for Jesus for real and quit being a hypocrite and lukewarm Christian.

And so I remember the Lord spoke to me, and these are the words I heard, and it may be controversial to some, but it's what He told me, and it got me saved, so it must have been the Holy Spirit. But He said, Son, you can have everything the world has to offer and go to hell, or you can surrender your life to me and live forever.

And at that moment, I had a vision, not open vision where I saw it with my physical eyes, but in my spirit, I saw a vision of two roads, and I saw Jesus hanging on the cross for my sins down one, and I saw all the stuff I was doing, and one was full of light, and I knew led to heaven, and the other one was full of darkness.

And right there, I said, Lord, either I'm going all the way, or I'm not going at all. I will not be a hypocrite. And so I truly repented that day, and that's what America's missing, and I believe that's what most of the church world is missing, especially the Western church world, is that we have a gospel now without repentance.

And God wants us to repent, confess our sins, and turn away from them and live as obedient as we can. And I know I'm not talking about we will be perfect, and that's why there is forgiveness when we confess our sins, but this stuff of living in sin and habitually living in things that we know are rebellion to God, that has to end if you're going to be a real Christian.

And so it ended in my life in the summer of 1987. Now, I say all that to say this, that in 1987, when I truly repented, I began praying every day. I began reading my Bible every day. I began studying.

At the time, I was working in a place where I couldn't go to church on Sundays, and that was actually, I know this may sound bad, but it was a good thing because they couldn't ruin me. And so I just read my Bible, and I started learning things that I'd never been taught when I went to church when I was young.

Spiritual Baptism and an Open Vision of Jesus

And so it didn't take long before the Lord had filled me with His Holy Spirit. And then in October, it was the first week of October 1987, I will never forget it, because I was praying at about 4 o 'clock in the morning, and this was an open vision.

Jesus appeared to me in an open vision. The power of God was so strong. The room was dimly lit, but over on this side, it lit up, and I saw Him standing at the right hand of the glory of God. It was unbelievable.

It was so strong. The power of God in His presence was so strong that I literally felt like Jesus must be coming because it was so overwhelming. And as a matter of fact, it was so powerful that I had to ask the Lord to ease up because my physical body couldn't take it, but it wasn't painful.

It was just glorious. It was pure power and love and everything at the same time. But the Lord spoke to me, and I won't say everything He said in that vision that I had from Him, but He told me, He said, He told me that in October of 1987.

End-Times Prophecy and the Bible’s Authority

Shortly after that, I began to study the Bible, Matthew 24, many of the end times passages, Revelation, Daniel. So I began to study this way back in 1987, 26 years ago. I've studied end time prophecy.

As a matter of fact, my first sermon that I ever preached in a church was in December of 1987, and it was on Matthew 24. And my best friend that I'd had throughout elementary school, junior high, and high school, that we drank and smoked dope and did drugs and all the running around, my best friend came because he couldn't believe that I was going to be preaching and actually preaching in a church.

So he came and he got saved that night, and he's a minister this day. So I understand that, you know what, the message of end time prophecy and the things that are coming to pass, the Lord gave those to us to be a tool of evangelism, to get people's attention that the word of God is true and that it is unlike any other writing in the world.

The Koran doesn't touch it, the Vedas, the Hadiths, the Sunnahs, nothing touches the Holy Bible, this book right here, from Genesis to Malachi and Matthew to Revelation. And I want to say, after 26 years of studying this, and I know there are men here that have read it and studied it, and women, too, a lot longer than I have, but I am absolutely positively sure that we are in the last days, that Jesus Christ will return soon, within, I believe, within my lifetime.

And there are many things that I can't get into tonight about the prophecies that are coming to pass, but everything that the Bible has spoken, of course, Jesus said in Matthew 24 that one of the signs would be wars and rumors of wars.

Ezekiel foretold a war, and I can't get into it, but I can prove it, that it would be Russia and the countries around Israel getting ready to attack Israel. We are there, and we are there. Revelation 9 talks about a war that's going to kill one-third of mankind, and that war will start at the Euphrates River region.

The Euphrates River runs from Turkey through Syria, Iraq, and touches Iran for 50 miles. We know that the Syrian issue and the Iranian issue will more than likely, very soon, start World War III, or what I believe is the Sixth Trumpet War.

Again, I know some of these things may be a little controversial, as we all have different beliefs at times about end-time things. I'll just say this very boldly, that I'm not ashamed that I do not believe in a pre-tribulation rapture.

If you believe that, I still love you and I hope you still love me, but I think we're going to find out real soon that it's not before. Now, having said that, I'm going to share what the Lord gave me to share, and because I'm trying to keep this very brief, I'm not going to turn to the passages.

Prophetic Dreams, Visions, and Acts 2

But in Acts chapter 2, God spoke that in the last days, He would pour out His Spirit on all flesh. And He said, your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions.

And then He used the term, He said, and talked about blood and fire and pillars of smoke. When I was 16 years old, I've had three prophetic dreams that I know are from the Lord about a nuclear attack on the United States of America.

I have also seen a vision during a time of fasting of the East Coast and the West Coast of the United States destroyed, entire cities destroyed. This has been confirmed to me by many people across the world, and I mean from every denomination.

When I began to share these dreams, two of which I've had in the last year, when I began to share these dreams, I heard from people through Facebook and other media. I heard from people that were Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, all kind of different backgrounds, Pentecostal, Charismatic.

I heard people telling me, I've had the same dreams, I had the same dream, I had the same dream. When I was, the other night I was on my Facebook, it's just Dean Odell Ministries, but the Facebook page, I write these things that God gives me and I share them.

And just over the past few days, just several thousand people have read these things across the world. But the Lord wanted me to share this, and this is something I believe, this is not defeatism that I'm sharing with you tonight.

Because I believe in the midst of what is coming to the world, and to the, particularly to the United States, I believe that in the midst of that, that God is going to move in a powerful way, and that he's going to pour out his spirit, and that through these judgments, that many people are going to learn righteousness.

So I do believe there's a revival coming to the United States, but it will not be until there is a mushroom cloud in a U .S. city. I will share these as quickly as I can here. When I was 16 years old, I had the first one, and I won't go into that one, but it was so vivid that God gave it to me twice.

Now if any of you know that in the book of Genesis, when Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dream, Pharaoh had the dream twice, two different ways, but he had the dream twice. And he told him, Joseph told him, the reason that the dream was given to you twice is because it is, God is showing you what he is about to do, and he's shown it to you twice to let you know it will shortly come to pass.

Dreams of Nuclear Attack and National Collapse

So that one happened back in 1984. You fast forward in November of 2012. I had a dream where I was standing looking down the east coastline, and I saw a massive explosion destroy a city. I don't know what city it was, but I know I was looking north up the eastern coastline, and I saw a city destroyed.

And in the dream, for some reason, it was my job to coordinate our government's response. Now I've never worked for the United States government and don't plan on it, but in the dream, I had a direct line to President Obama.

And in the dream, as soon as the detonation happened, and I was just beyond the blast radius, and there were fires burning, and I called, and I had a direct line. You understand, we had a direct, like, I guess we had each other's cell phones or whatever.

I don't know, but it was almost like it was a radio. And I was talking to him, what is going to be our response? And he stopped talking to me and would not talk. So I said, well, the radios must have went out.

So I knew where he was, so I ran across through the city, and I ran to where President Obama was. And he, it was, for some reason, it was a huge, almost like cafeteria with these round tables, and people were, I mean, just massive amount of people.

And he was sitting at a table about as far from me to you, brother. And I was yelling at him, what is our response? Because in the dream, I knew that the response of the United States was going to determine whether we survived this or not.

And what I mean survive is we kept any resemblance of normalcy. Anyway, he would not even lift his head up. He was looking down at his plate of food, and it was then I knew he will do nothing, that he's going to let this happen.

And I knew in the dream that it would be the complete fall and destruction of the United States of America into chaos. Many Americans are so prideful and arrogant that they think that this cannot happen.

But over the last years, and when I was in Washington, D .C., pastoring there, I had a dream, and I won't go into it, but the clear dream of economic collapse coming. This war that's coming in the Middle East quickly upon us, all it's going to take is one thing to push our economy over the edge, especially if we get hit here with anything.

And, of course, Vladimir Putin of Russia said that if we attack Syria, he will attack Saudi Arabia. And if he attacks Saudi Arabia, then our oil supply is cut off, and we will—our economy will collapse.

I absolutely believe that. Now, the second dream in the last 12 months, I was driving on Interstate 85. I'm in Auburn, Alabama, so I was on Interstate 85 headed toward Montgomery, which is southwest. And I was headed there, and I was driving in my car down the interstate, and I had a clear, straight shot, a long—I could see a long way off.

And in the dream, I said, I bet I will see a mushroom cloud in just a few minutes or in just a moment. It wasn't five seconds later. Boom, the flash, the cloud. I watched the whole thing go up and roll over.

And I don't know where it was. Again, I'm not quite sure, but I know I was looking west. So, again, I think it confirms what God showed me in 2011 of the East Coast and the West Coast. Now, I say all this to say that when I woke up that morning, it was early morning.

It was Sunday morning, actually. And, of course, I was getting ready to preach. And I always get up early to pray and get ready to preach. And when I got up, I knew the dream. You know, I know the difference between a dream when you've had too much pizza before you go to bed, and it's of the Lord.

And I woke up, and I knew it was from the Lord. And I said, Lord, what is this? And he said, I'm showing you this twice. And, really, it was within eight months of each other. I'm showing you this twice because it will certainly come to pass, and it will not be long.

Earlier Prophetic Warnings and Their Interpretation

And this is not something that I like to do. But back when Jesus called me to be a minister, he really called me to a prophetic ministry. And my heart, I must have to say, my heart's very heavy. And I was—tears in my eyes back there because I don't like having to say these things because they're difficult.

But I remember, you know, in 2001, the Lord spoke to me very clearly. We have an all-night prayer meeting on New Year's Eve going from 2000 into 2001. And he spoke to me, and he said, this year will be a year of tragedy.

And I shared that with our church and with different people. And two days before 9 -11, it was a Sunday morning, September the 9th. And I was preaching a nice, sweet sermon that morning. I don't do too many of those.

My wife will tell you and my church members will tell you I'm pretty strong on certain things. So I was preaching one of the nicest sermons I ever preached called Blessings of God, you know. And in the middle of my message, the Holy Spirit came on me and gave me a prophetic word and said there will be a terrorist attack on Washington, D .C. and New York City.

And two days later, it happened. A year-plus before the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, the Lord also gave me a dream that there would be a massive earthquake in the Pacific Ocean. He took me over the Pacific Ocean, and he showed me—he took me down deep in the water, and he showed me the tectonic plates.

And for some reason, he showed me three nuclear bombs on those tectonic plates, and they all exploded. And when that happened, it caused a massive earthquake and a tsunami. I understood the dream. It's not anything big, prophetic revelation to have a dream that there's going to be an earthquake in the Pacific Rim, right?

But I couldn't figure out for a long time why the three nuclear weapons were in the dream. And so I shared the dream in our church. I shared it on Facebook. I shared it with different people. And I said, I don't understand it.

But then in March of 2011, when the 9 .0 earthquake happened, and then, of course, the tsunami happened, and then there were three nuclear reactors at Fukushima that melted down, and then I knew. And so sometimes dreams are not always crystal clear, and you have to wait for them.

But I asked the Lord why he would give me that, and he said, I'm giving you this one so you know that the other ones that I've given you will come to pass. So listen to me, and I'm going to turn this over here, but listen to me very clearly.

Spiritual Preparation for Coming Judgment

This is not to put fear in you unless, of course, you're not right with the Lord. If you're not walking with Jesus in holiness and obedience and you've confessed your sins and repented of your sins and you're getting serious with God, it's time to get serious with God.

He gives us warnings so that we can prepare. And the most important preparation that you can make is spiritual preparation. Second of all, I think the Lord wants us to be psychologically and emotionally prepared.

Things are going to change in America forever. When the Lord showed me the vision and the dream of the economic collapse, he told me we would not recover. There will not be a bailout. There will not be a recovery from what's coming.

And we have to because we have to get to a global system that they put a chip in your hand, and that's the only way you buy or sell. So we have to get rid of the U .S. economy. We have to get rid of the U .S. dollar.

There are certain things that have to happen for Bible prophecy to come to pass, and it is happening quickly. Now what God wants us to do is be in prayer. See, I really believe, Psalm 23, that though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me.

I truly believe that it is an opportunity to be a light and a witness. And there's a scripture, it's in Isaiah 26, but the Lord, Isaiah, was speaking, and he said how he was hungering for the Lord and thirsting for the Lord, and then he said, Lord, when your judgments are in the earth, the people learn righteousness.

Jeremiah 5 and the Promise of Revival

And so God's judgments are coming to America, and really he just has to step back and allow certain things to happen. But one of the things, and I'll give you this and I'll quit, but I believe if you read Jeremiah 5, that Jeremiah 5 is a prophetic word for the United States of America.

You just substitute United States for Judah and Jerusalem. And I believe that that is a word, and what the good part of it is, is that he says he will not make a full end. See, I don't believe it's going to be total destruction across the entire United States of America, but I do believe that our pride must be brought down, it must be humbled.

I believe that even in God's wrath, in allowing this and pulling his hand off, is mercy to wake up the lukewarm, backslidden, compromised, watered-down church in America. And so I believe that there will be a revival, and it's our job to be prepared to preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ that calls for him to be number one, that calls for us to leave sin, to obey him, to love him with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

And we've had enough. We've had enough purpose-driven. We've had enough seeker. We've had enough. It hasn't saved our nation. Listen, if it was of God, it would have saved us. Amen? It hasn't saved us.

So I believe the people that God will protect, and he will raise up a people that will share the truth in a very dark time. And don't let your heart be troubled. It will get dark. But God is, he said, I will arise upon my people, and my glory will be seen on my people, even when gross darkness covers the earth.

Amen? God bless you.
