Prophetic Dream: World Economic Collapse

Oh, how Sheshach is taken! Oh, how the praise of the whole
earth is seized! How Babylon has become desolate among the
nations! The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered
with the multitudes of its waves. Her cities are a desolation
(Jeremiah 51:41-43a, emphasis added).

We are a prophetic family meaning that we as a family seeing

visions and we are dreaming dreams, occasionally of
considerable significance, according to Gods promise in the
Book of Joel. And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour
out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughter shall
prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men
shall see visions (Joel 2:28).

It is one thing to dream a dream but it is another thing to discern

whether it is from God or your own mind and emotions and then
to interpret it correctly. I was called a prophet in 1966 but only
seven years later, in 1973, I started to see visions and dream
dreams of spiritual significance. Only eighteen months later I
could start to interpret some dreams and visions. I was frustrated
because God gave me dreams and visions but I could not
interpret them. There was also nobody to help me with it. So I
asked God one day in 1974, “Why giving me dreams and visions
if I cannot interpret them.” All of a sudden I knew the
interpretation of three dreams I had eighteen months before.
Since that time I could interpret dreams and visions.
Interpretation of dreams and visions is a gift from the Holy
Spirit. As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge
and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had
understanding in all visions and dreams (Daniel 1:17). I tell you
this that you can understand that I am interpreting dreams and
visions for many, many years. I am also the author of a book
titled, “Interpretation of Dreams and Visions.” I do not claim to
be infallible because that is not true. However, I believe after
interpreting dreams and visions for 36 years I am pretty accurate.
Believe me I am still learning.

On March, 07, 2010, in the early hours of the morning, my son

Oleg had a dream, which I believe is of great significance. We
are about to enter a time of great global economic catastrophe
that will change this world as we know it. Oleg’s account of the
dream is as follows: I saw our family left for Oliver Tambo
Airport (Johannesburg International), Johannesburg, South
Africa. We are living in South Africa. The next moment an agent
bring us to an apartment on the top floor of a very high building
in New York. It was a very luxurious apartment that we were
renting. When I looked out of the window, I saw the sky and the
clouds were grey dark fog as when a terrible storm is about to
break loose. I remember it was chaos in New York because
somebody said, “A tsunami is coming.” I thought, “It cannot
reach us because we live on the top floor of a building as high as
the twin towers.” While looking out of the window I saw waves
approaching the seashore. They were not high enough to cause
concern in my heart. However, after the first wave broke, a
gigantic second wave approached the seashore that was so big
that when I saw it the water started to rise very fast and I started
to feel the water. I started to run to the other side of the
apartment. Then the second wave hit us and everything, the sky-
scraper and whole city went under water. The wave was rolling
me under the water. I was afraid to hit things with my body
under the surface of the water but luckily nothing happened. I
could not come up to the surface because the wave kept me
under the water all the time. I was afraid to die a horrible death
and asked God to kill me fast to save me from suffering. It took
much effort to swim out of the water. When I got out of the
water the wave has already broken but New York City was under
water.

After I got out of the water I saw a high stainless steel tower; I
knew it was my only chance of survival. I climbed onto this very
high tower trying to save myself. Then I worried about my
mother, Marina. I thought my father (Andre) and mother
(Marina) were dead. Then I saw Andre and he asked me about
Marina. The next moment I saw Marina. I was very relieved and
glad my parents survived the tsunami.

After the city started to recover from its disaster I saw the same
agent that took us to our rented apartment. He found us because
he had compassion on us for losing our apartment and almost our
lives. He said, “Because you have lost your apartment you can
choose one of my four businesses.” First business was a new and
second hand car shop (about US$ 10 million turnover per
annum), second was a construction business, third was a junk
yard, and the forth another dirty business (cannot remember). I
asked him, “Which business is the most profitable.” He said, “I
will not tell you. It is for you to choose.” Then he stood aside
that we may choose. Then I woke up. This experience was as real
as in the natural.

The Oliver Tambo Airport is the international airport of

Johannesburg City, South Africa. A city symbolizes that for
which the city is known. Johannesburg symbolizes the
economic stronghold of the Republic of South Africa. In
Johannesburg is the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) and
Johannesburg was once the largest source of gold in the world.
New York is known for Wall Street where its volume and scale
of economic transactions on economic markets not only
influence the course of the USA but of the whole world. New
York symbolizes the economic stronghold of the United
States and of the whole world.

One moment we were in the Oliver Tambo Airport the next

moment in New York. It means the economies of individual
countries are swallowed up in a Global Economic System.
Individual countries do not determine their economic destiny
alone but significant movements on economic markets in the
USA will have a decisive influence on the economic destiny of
most other countries.

The skyscraper speaks of human power and greatness. Then they

said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them
thoroughly.” They had bricks for stone, and they had asphalt for
mortar. And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and
a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for
ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole
earth (Genesis 11:3-4).

The agent that brought us to a luxurious rental apartment speaks
of the present blessing of the Lord on his people. Many maintain
still a good standard of living despite decreased real income. For
example, since the economic meltdown (2008) I have lost my
house, two businesses and my Toyota Landcruiser VX. Despite it
all I am still maintaining the same standard of living as before
though I am living in a rented house and driving a Jeep Cherokee
instead. The Lord is good.

We rent a luxurious apartment speak of a short time of surviving

reasonable living conditions. During the Feast of Tabernacles,
2007, the Lord spoke to me and said that economic conditions
from 2008 onward will start to get difficult, yet that will be the
fat years. After that time will come the lean years; a total global
economic collapse.

Looking out of the window and saw the sky and the clouds were
grey dark fog as when a terrible storm is about to break loose. A
storm about to break loose can symbolizes various things. In this
dream it is the discerning of economic calamity and destruction
that is about to occur. I believe we will only have a few more
years of “prosperity” before the great collapse.

It was chaos in New York because somebody said, “A tsunami is

coming.” There are many voices filling our ears. There are the
voices of true prophets of the Lord, false prophets, psychics,
economists, and the arrogant, causing chaos and confusion. The
problem is to discern the true from the false. You need to
develop a taste for the prophetic word of the Lord in this hour.
How will you know the truth? Jesus answered them and said,
“My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. If anyone wills
to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it
is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. He who
speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the
glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is
in Him (John 7:16-18, emphasis added).

I thought, “It cannot reach us because we live on the top floor of

a building as high as the twin towers.” How wicked can our
hearts be? The heart is deceitful above all things, and
desperately wicked [Hebrew: incurable]; who can know it
(Jeremiah 17:9). We are born-again Christians but we still put
4
our trust in manmade structures, and not in the Lord. He is our
high tower.

While looking out of the window I saw waves approaching the

seashore. They were not high enough to cause concern in my
heart. It is amazing how we can discern the weather or economic
trends and make predictions but we cannot interpret the signs of
the times. He answered and said to them, “When it is evening
you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red; and in the
morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and
threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of
the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times (Matthew
16:2-3). It is still all about our personal comfort and not about
the kingdom of God.

However, after the first wave broke, a gigantic second wave

approached the seashore that was so big that when I saw it the
water started to rise very fast and I started to feel it. It is only
when the word of God will come to pass that our hands will be
feeble and our knees will be as weak as water because we are an
arrogant people. We are all arrogant; some are just more than
others.

This dream speaks of two waves of economic disaster that will

hit the world. When the first wave break many wealthy people
will think they will survive it because the wave will not be high
enough or severe enough to concern their hearts.

When the second wave will approach (things getting worse)

panic will started to set in as people will start to experience its
severe financial stranglehold (seeing the water level rises rapidly
and feeling it and running from one side of the apartment to the
other). However, when the second wave will break shortly
thereafter it will destroy the world economy and everybody will
sense its collapse immediately (the skyscraper and the entire
New York was covered under the water of the tsunami).

The wave that rolled Oleg under the water refers to the result of
the economic collapse. People will be afraid of all sorts of
consequences but the Lord will keep them that fear Him (“I was
afraid I will hit things with my body under the surface of the
water but luckily nothing happened”). The economic collapse
5
will be so severe that personal financial survival will seem
impossible (“I could not come up to the surface because the
wave kept me under the water all the time”). Panic will set in and
people will fear that they may die in the process. Many will pray
God to take their lives to spare them suffering a horrible death
(“I was afraid to die a horrible death and asked God to kill me
fast to save me from suffering”). It will take much effort to just
survive the consequences of the worst economic collapse ever (It
took much effort to swim out of the water). It will take time
before we will realize the real consequences of the disaster
(“When I eventually got out of the water the wave has already
broken but the entire New York City was totally under the water
of the tsunami”).

The high stainless steel tower which was the only chance of
survival on which Oleg climbed in an attempt to save himself
symbolizes the Lord. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and
my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my
buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower (Psalm
18:2, KJV, emphasis added). The Lord will be our survival from
calamity. A tower is also an outlook symbolizing revelation and
prayer. Showing concern for the wellbeing of his parents talks
about intercession for one another during the difficult times to
come.

After the disaster there will be a recovery and then the Lord will
bless His people (After the city started to recover from its
disaster I saw the same agent that took us to our rented
apartment. He found us because he had compassion on us for
losing our apartment and almost our lives). We had a choice
from four businesses. Four is the number for rule. Then God
made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the
lesser to rule the night. He made stars also, God set them in the
firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule
over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the
darkness. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the
morning were the fourth day (Genesis 1:16-19). We will rule
with Christ the economy and the rest of the earth for one
thousand years.

Why did the Lord show us what is coming? Surely the Lord God
does nothing, unless He reveals His secrets to His servants the
6
prophets (Amos 3:7). He mainly showed us this dream that we
may prepare ourselves for what is coming.

Is there enough time to prepare ourselves? The Lord will not

warn us about impending danger and not giving us sufficient
time to prepare for it. There is enough time for preparation
but no time to waste.

How shall we prepare ourselves? Just like the first

New Testament Church prepared themselves. The
two basic devotions of a Christian is continues
prayer and the ministry of the word. But we will
give ourselves continually to prayer and to the
ministry of the word (Acts 6:4). It is first prayer then
giving ourselves to the ministry of the word.

The same morning when Oleg had this prophetic

dream I had the following dream: A voice said,
“Where you are living are many intercessors.
Are you an intercessor?” I said, “Yes I am an
intercessor.” Then I woke up. Intercession and
prayer is the ministry and backbone of every true
Christian.

There are two dimensions in knowing the Lord in

His word, which is His will. The first is to know Him
in the Scriptures and the other His voice through
the Holy Spirit. Jesus answered and said to them,
“You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor
the power of God (the Holy Spirit)” (Matthew
22:29). Since the beginning of time God intended
for man to know his voice and since God’s written
word was freely available to man, He intended for
him to know Him also in Scripture. God has never
changed His mind concerning this. Man has
changed but God has never changed. We need to
know and heed His written Word and obey His
voice.

This year is a season for rapid spiritual growth.

Therefore, we will endeavor to put our efforts

7
forward to know Him in meditation on the written
word and waiting on Him to know His voice better.
Unless we developed a love for the truth we will be
deceived in latter times. True worship is to worship
the Lord in His word and true intercession is to pray
according to the word and will of God.
