Visions

I don't normally do this, but I feel compelled.
In March of last year, I had a vision. Since that time, I have heard of others having similar visions.
And now, David Wilkerson has posted a vision and warning on his blog. There are too many people seeing the same things to just ignore it.
Here is my vision:

"A few days ago, I and my wife were doing our morning prayer, and as she was praying, I suddenly saw a city in the distance, with smoke pouring out of the buildings, seemingly under attack of some sort.
Then, superimposed upon that, I saw an eagle, a bald eagle.
As I looked at the eagle, I saw that it's beak had a band around it, so that it could no longer 'speak'.
As I comtemplated that, I noticed that it's feet also were fettered to the ground, so that it could not go anywhere. And as I was looking at that, I noticed that the feathers in the wings were disappearing, one by one, and soon it's wings were plucked.
Then the scene changed, and I observed many bodies lying on the ground, and hundreds of ravens coming and landing, and feasting on the bodies. The end.
I did not received any words with that."

I was not clear on the exact location of the dream, but New York seems likely. I was also not given a timeframe.

David Wilkerson suggests stocking up a month's worth of food, due to the resulting riots and chaos. Probably not a bad idea, but stocking up food and all that is not the point.
I believe that the point is, learn to trust God now, as opposed to some stockpile.
God provided manna and quail for 40 years, He fed Elijah with a raven, provided the widow with an endless supply of oil. He can and WILL do those things for us too. He doesn't limit His provision to supersaints of yesteryear. All those things He did with them, He can and will do for us today.
How do I know this? I have been living this last six years totally and completely dependant on God for everything. And He has never failed me in those six years. In fact, He has provided abundantly more than I needed. He has proved Himself faithful, and I have absolute trust in Him.
I don't say this to brag about my own 'super-spiritual self'. I am saying this is exactly where we all need to be, now as opposed to later.
The church in this country needs to wake up. And, as we have seen down through the millenia, the only way we wake up is to find ourselves in a situation where we have no resources to turn to but God.
The churches in this country that ARE awake need to think about what is coming, because when it does come, people are going to flock to the churches in droves, and those churches better have an idea of what to do with them, how to help them and comfort them.
It is likely that martial law will be enforced, our means of protection will be taken from us, due to 'necessity' our sovereignty will evaporate into a North American Union, our monetary system will be more 'globalized', our rapidly evaporating 'constitutional rights' will completely disappear, and we will find ourselves sitting under a dictatorial rule that we shamefully voted into power.
Churches will be forced underground, and THEN the true church will be revealed.
