The 14 PREDICTIONS - ARE they STILL ON TRACK??

The 14 PREDICTIONS - ARE they STILL ON TRACK??
-by Andrew Strom.

As many of you know, from 2001 onwards I issued a number of
prophetic warnings about the U.S (and world) economy. And from
2006 I became more and more specific that it was the HOUSING
crisis that was about to turn into a Great Depression. Many of
these predictions came true. But what about now that there seems
to be a bit of a "recovery"? Could it be only temporary? Do I still
stand by my predictions?

Well, first let us take a look. (By the way, I do not see my myself
as a "prognosticator" and personally I hardly ever publish predictions
like this. But the economy is one thing I feel God has certainly
spoken to me about). Below is a timeline of these specific warnings -
from 2001 to 2009:

SEPT 11, 2001: "The HORNS of American financial power have
fallen, have fallen..." [-About the Twin Towers].

JUNE 2003: "Revival is going to come in the midst of judgments
the like of which you've never seen, and God is going to touch
your economy..." (-'Thundering in Nashville').

14 DEC 2006: "Let me make some predictions at this point, so
I can be clear about what this country is facing:
(1) Firstly, I believe it is IMPOSSIBLE to avoid Judgment...
(2) Expect a great economic crash - and expect it SOON.

MARCH 14, 2007: "Eight months ago we began to publish warnings
about the bursting of this Housing bubble, and the likely impact it
would have... I began to refer to this coming financial judgment in
my sermons, saying that in many ways it would be God's MERCY -
to shock us out of our complacency and apathy - and to cause us
to desperately seek His face..."

NOV 8, 2007: "I continue to stand by my statement of many
months ago that within 3 years this nation will be in a terrible
financial depression - possibly the worst that it has ever seen.
Right now, things are right on track to see this fulfilled."

NOV 2007, Wisconsin USA: "This is the last good Christmas
America will have for years....
"Here's my scenario. You can test me. You can remember what
I'm saying right now.... See if it plays out how I say. In six months
time I expect Recession in the United States. In 12 months time
I expect the beginning of a Depression..." (-AUDIO - 'Survive the
Coming Depression - Nov 07' on Sermonindex.net).

10 MONTHS LATER - Sept/Oct 2008 - The two largest Mortgage
giants in the world (Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac) fail, the largest
Insurance Company and the largest thrift bank in the USA both
collapse, Lehman Brothers goes bankrupt (almost taking the entire
financial system with it), Money Markets reel, the Investment
banking industry crumbles, and the stock market suffers its
worst-ever one-day loss, plunging 777 points in a single day.

24 SEPT 2008: "The DEPRESSION HAS BEGUN".

BACK-TRACK - 31 JAN 2008: "My strong belief is that, particularly
in America, this crisis is going to be WORSE than the GREAT
DEPRESSION. And it is going to last for YEARS. Other developed
nations, such as England, Ireland, Spain, Canada, Germany and
even Australasia, are going to be very hard-hit also. China, India
and much of Asia will be pounded at first, but I believe will recover
faster.... I believe that Christians in America need to face the fact
that they are about to live through one of the WORST 5 - 7 year
periods that this country has ever seen by far. And they need to
be preparing NOW."

OCT 2008: "I am convinced this ‘breaking’ is not merely financial
in nature. It is also aimed at the church, the media and the culture...
We are about to see another “Great Reformation” of the church. In
fact, it has already begun." (-From Andrew's book, 'SURVIVE the
DEPRESSION', Oct 2008).

OCT 2008: "When I was down in Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina
there was one Spirit-filled Fellowship that was “thriving” in the midst
of the chaos. They had filled their sanctuary with food, clothes, and
emergency supplies of all kinds – and they were ministering to
hundreds... I cannot tell you how important this is, if we want to
“thrive” – not just ‘survive’ - through this current crisis. This is one
of the absolute keys... So will you be a “light shining in the
darkness” during this present crisis, my friends?" (-From Andrew's
book, 'SURVIVE the DEPRESSION', Oct 2008).

20 DEC 2008: "The WORST of the slump is set to last for... 7 years."

10 APRIL 2009: "A "DOUBLE DIP" DEPRESSION .. The phrase
"A Double-Dip Depression" has been on my heart for many months,
so it is no surprise to see a temporary respite. But we need to be
aware that it is simply an illusion - so we don't get lulled back to
sleep and cease to prepare for what lies ahead.

18 JUNE 2009: "We stated not long ago our belief that we are
headed for a "Double-Dip" Depression... I do believe there will be
a further 'wave' downwards, and we need to keep preparing - both
physically and spiritually."

31st Dec 2009: "I expect renewed hardship in the months ahead..."

ANDREW AGAIN: Obviously about half of the above predictions
have already come true. The rest would seemingly require "another
wave down" to occur. Do I still expect this? Yes, I do. And if I am
correct, I would expect to see this sometime in 2010 or (at the
latest) in 2011. Please continue to prepare spiritually and practically
for this eventuality, my friends. And I am very happy to be taken
to task if this does not take place.

If this "second wave down" has not occurred by the end of 2011
then I will need to issue a public apology to the Body of Christ.
Please hold me to this. I am happy to be held accountable for
the things I have prophesied.

God bless you all.

Andrew Strom.
