A Prophesy Against America

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

February 23 


Like a twig on the surface of the waters,
This people will float away.
They have eaten the fruit of deception.
They plant wickedness to this day.

Because they depend on their own strength,
And their soldiers out in the field,
A harvest of evil will come up.
And destruction is all it will yield!

The roar of the lion will rise up.
It’s impossible now to avoid.
With the tide of the battles against you,
Your cities will all be destroyed.

Change your mind before it’s too late!
If God did not spare His people, Israel, for sinning in this way;
Then what makes you think that He is going to spare you?

Four steps to change your mind

1) Turn off your (tell-a-vision) or HDTV; you can’t see better by looking into it!
2) Open your bible and read it!
3) Stop trusting in men, trust in God!
4) If you don’t already know what the next step is? Ask your Father so that He may instruct you!
