Plucking the Eagle's Wings

2001 to 2008 and the Fullness of the Gentiles

If my understanding of prophetic patterns proves to be correct, then between 2001 and 2008 we will see: • the greatest initiative of Gospel preaching in the history of the world (Matthew 24:14); • the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the history of the world (Acts 2:16-18); • the formation of a major European superpower; • the slow decline of America—morally, spiritually, and economically; • a series of selective judgments, such as storms and earthquakes (Matthew 24:7).
