EARTHQUAKE written by: Chuck-JOHNEL Youngbrandt
The Giant Airliner (below), with two rows of windows, seen in the vision of 1973 made its first landing at Chicago, Illinois on March 20, 2007, some 34 years after the Lord JESUS showed me this airliner flying into Chicago during the monster earthquake vision.
A Prophet of'JESUS, named Dr. Daniel Bohler, was given a Word by JESUS speaking of a earthquake to strike a 50 mile radius of St. Louis this year. There is some suggestion that this earthquake could strike St. Louis this June, 2007. Such an earthquake would be a warning of even stronger earthquakes to hit in 2008 and beyond. (Dr. Bohler, likewise, was given a vision some years later of the monster earthquake I was shown in 1973 - he also saw the Great Lakes pouring out as I did.) It is possible that the quake expected to hit St. Louis this year (Chicago would be shaken) is the 6.7 Magnitude earthquake that JESUS told me about in 1979. That Word is in the attached report. The next pages are photo's of the Airbus A380, the giant airliner I saw iii 1973 in the vision of the monster earthquake, followed by the vision of 1973 and JESUS Word of 1979 on the same subject.

EARTHQUAKE VISION of JULY, 1973 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pr ide. " (Psalm 46:1-3 NAS)
EARTHQUAKE! It was my daily discipline to take my coffee breaks in the lobby of the DuPont building and spend the time reading the New Testament. The lobby of this building in Des Plaines, Illinois, was quite ornate and very pleasant. Its entrance was graced by two-story windows and concrete pillars. In the lobby was a high chandelier; couches and a number of comfortable high-backed chairs filled the room. The lobby walls were largely taken up by mirrors, which gave the already large room even greater depth to the eye. Life was pleasant, and since nothing unusual was happening, I was simply enjoying the summer and drawing ever closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. Something happened on July 2, 1973, which would have a greater impact on my life than I might ever have dreamed possible at the time. It was Monday, July 2, 1973, 10:32 a.m., a beautiful sunny-warm day, and! was reading my Bible in the lobby, sitting in the yellow high-backed chair. I had felt uneasy all morning - very jittery with no apparent reason - and I had looked forward to my coffee break to get into the Word of God. The unusual tenseness that plagued
me made me quite eager to seek consolation in the Bible, which I knew would relax me. I had been reading the Bible for a minute or so when an odd thing happened. The sunlight which lit the room suddenly seemed brighter than normal, but I dismissed this and read on. I then glanced outside again, and I noticed something strange. Although I could clearly see fluffy clouds in that Monday morning sky, I also saw simultaneously a clear blue sky with no clouds and a much brighter sunlight. That didn't register with my understanding. "It must be my imagination," I thought to myself, as I looked back to the Bible. Then I heard a very sharp, loud, and terrible "cracking" noise, and was aware that the ground was moving under me. The building all around me was wavering; the wall split at some points, and I heard a deep

JULY 2 1973 Vision (continued) rumbling sound. It was an earthquake! !
I looked around, amazed, while the chandelier pulled out of the ceiling and crashed
to the floor. As the walls swayed, the two-story high windows exploded into thousands of glass fragments as their frames twisted and bent. The outside pillars around the door fell almost immediately, and the walls themselves were breaking up with many loud snapping and crackling sounds. A piece of ceiling about four feet long fell to the floor, crushing a chair. Everything was weaving so violently that I
couldn't move. I heard a women screaming. I was surprised that the building was holding up so well; for the earth was moving suddenly, sharply, and fast. Suddenly, it stopped! I shook my head in unbelief and looked, seeing the wreckage and clouds of dust super-imposed on that beautiful day of July 2, 1973. In the next moment, I saw only the lobby as it had been before, untouched, with no sign of the earthquake. Bewildered, once I again dismissed it as my "imagination," because I didn't know what else to do with the experience. I left the lobby and returned to work. This experience, it turned ou t, was theh opening revelation of many by the Holy Spirit. On that first day and for days to come, in various places, at various times, the Lord continued to reveal to me the earthquake "happening" over and over again. Each ti me I saw that bright blue sky with no clouds and the bright sunlight. I heard that same sharp crackling noise which sounded so fierce, so deadly, that one could almost taste it; then came the fast and sudden movement of the earth. At the time I didn't know what was happening nor understand much, except that I not only saw the earthquake and heard it, but I also felt it and was aware of what people were thinking of at that time. I could even smell a difference in the air. I also seemed to understand the emotions of that time in a broadened manner. Today I might use the words "heightened awareness" to explain the experience, but at the time it was just a puzzling and unsettling happening. However, as I had a discipline of keeping notes, I regarded the experience from an analytical point of view and determined to make keen observations in written form. I hoped that this kind of objectivity would settle me down; for, was the days passed and the revelations unfolded, I began to suffer from emotional shock and pure horror. As the revelations all happened over an extended period of time, I will share them with you as it was given to me by the Holy Spirit.

JULY 2, 1973 Vision (continued) Monda y , Jul y 2, 1973, 11:45 a.m. Everyone else was at lunch and I was at my desk covering the phones. My desk sat next to a window that faced east, overlooking the southern end of a small lake (called O'Hara Lake), past the sister building built around the lakefront. Just east of the Tri-State TolIway (Route 294) stood the Xerox factory and what looks like a water tower with the Xerox name on it; beyond Xerox one could see woods. I was sort of day-dreaming when again that day was super-imposed on the day I was in, and the prelude of bright sunlight, sky with no clouds, and the sharp crack caught me by surprise. With that, the whole building began to move under me. I watched a crack start and spread from the other end of the office to my area in the twinkling of an eye. The plaster wallboards popped, crumbled, and came undone as the walls buckled. Then the recessed ceiling tiles came falling down like snowflakes; and in the same instant the whole floor on my end sagged down about five or six feet, sending file cabinets and furniture sliding to the north end of the building , which seemed to be the low point. Again I heard screams and felt the panic and terror of the quake in others. I heard a thunderous roar in the tumbling earth, and noted that the movement was east to northwest in direction. (From the third floor of the building, I was able to measure the "jolts" or movement of the earth as at least 14 inches with each shift of the earth.) I looked out of my window, and saw the Xerox water towner swaying east to west (or northwest); then the base gave way and the tower fell toward the north. I then saw flames rise from the Xerox building itself as the huge crumpling water tower hit its roof. The adjacent office building to mine just seemed to disappear in the cloud of brick and dust - one whole wing of the building just crumbled into a pile. In a few moments, the earth stopped shaking and I was struck by the utter quiet now of this future day, for I saw no living beings around at all, not even birds. By this time I knew it was once again a vision of some future event, a massive
earthquake. Although by this time I was emotionally caught up by the detailed experience, who could I tell? Who would believe me? What would I say? At this point, I was the only one who had seen it, and I had no understanding of why I had been chosen, or what the purpose of the vision was. Monday, July 2, 1973, approximately 3:00 p.m. at work. The phones had been busy and I had been able to forget about the earthquake for the time being. Suddenly, the "prelude" of the bright sunlight of that future day caught my eye again. This time

JULY 2 1973 Vision (continued) the vision began where the last one left off. The earthquake destruction lay on every hand. I could literally feel the deadly quiet of that future day. Then the utter silence was broken by a terrible and different roaring sound that sent shivers down my spine. My senses were alarmed and I turned to look out of
my window. As I raised my head, my eyes glanced over the ruined terrain and up toward the woods beyond the Xerox building. There, over the tree tops, I saw in the far distance a massive wall of water, clear and blue, that was moving westerly. It did not seem to be corning at this place, but seemed to move west and south. Yes, the wall of water was definitely south of my location in Des Plaines, Illinois. The water moved with such beauty it was almost hypnotic to the viewer - a massive wall of Michigan blue. At the top of the wall of water, flurries of water droplets glistened in the bright warm sunlight. The roar was so thunderous, so ominous, that it made me tremble. It gave the appearance of moving slowly, but that wall of water was truly going much faster than it looked, from my vantage point. It was at this point that I realized that I was witnessing the destruction of Chicago by a monstrous earthquake, followed by a huge, destructive wall of water. Monday, July 2, 1973, 5:00 p.m. I arrived home at my apartment in Des Plaines. As I paused on the sidewalk, again came the prelude of bright light, the crack, and the quake. The apartment buildings seemed to do well and hold up in the quake, probably the result of a strong construction. Again I heard the panicky screams of people and watched as the earth ruptured about four feet from the sidewalk I was standing on. Steam poured out of the crack which was now about one foot wide running north-south in direction.
Monday, July 2, 1973, 6:30 p.m. I was driving from Des Plaines to Villa Park, Illinois. As I drove toward the Tri-State Tollway, I clearly saw the aftermath of the quake - homes destroyed or heavily damaged, roads broken up, underpasses collapsed, and trees uprooted and lying everywhere. On the Tri-State moving south towards the O'Hare Airport exit and nearing the Oasis underpass, I again felt the prelude getting my attention. The earth rumbled and roared as before and I watched from about 300 feet away as a huge section of underground granite or similar material just jutted through the Tri-State road and plowed through the Oasis. Its upward movement stopped about 20 to 30 feet above the roof of the Oasis; all told, the wall of Stone appeared to be about four or five stories high. The massive ridge of stone that jutted in the air appeared to be sliding east-west in the movement,
Page 6

March 26, 2007
JULY 2,_1973 Vision (continued moving back and forth. I seemed to know that south of that ridge of stone the ground had dropped much lower than the ground on the north side of that ridge and fracture. Though I don't know much about earthquakes, I seemed to know, then and now, that this was the fault line. When that wall of stone rose through the Tri-State and through the Oasis, it happened so fast and caught me so much by surprise that I jammed on my brakes to avoid hitting the wall of stone before I realized that it was only a vision and not the real thing. Past the O'Hare Oasis going south on the Tri-State there is an air bridge; I clearly saw this totally down after the earthquake and got a large view of the destruction. In every direction I could see raging fires, pillars of black smoke, wrecked houses and factories; the destruction was so great that it defies description. A short distance down the Tri-State, I carne upon a building which was called the O'Hareport Hotel of North Lake; it stands 15 stories high on the east side of the Tri-State. I saw the wall of water move over the city, and when it hit that 15-story hotel, the water was just above the roof of that building. In that vision of a future day I also saw a jet airliner* coming in for a landing at O'Hare Airport just at the time this wall of water made its appearance. The pilot noticed it and, from the black smoke I saw coming out of the jet exhausts, I knew he was accelerating to get up and out. I wondered where the aircraft could land and thought of Milwaukee, but then I saw that this city, too, was flooding and being destroyed. I thought of St. Louis and saw it was also broadly flooded and drowned out of existence. It was then that I began to realize some of the real scope of this future destruction, and only later realized that there has been n o parallel in history for what is apparently coming upon us here. *Note - What was almost unbelievable was the size of this airplane. It was a flying two story building! I distinctly saw two rows of windows and four huge jet engines on this
airliner. There was nothing like this in 1973, not even on the drawing boards.
I noticed that the wall of water was deepest through the heart of Chicago and that further south the depth tapered off, and further north also it was not nearly as deep. I also noted that overpasses will collapse and underpasses will be likewise buried and blocked; the roads will be buckled and broken in so many places that all traffic will be at a dead standstill. Escape after the quake, if one survives it, will prove to be nearly impossible.

JULY 2 1973 Vision continued Monday, July 2,1973,10:30 p.m. I was on the phone talking to Pam, a friend. I told Pam about the vision, and at once she became concerned because she had ajob in the downtown area of Chicago. Pam asked, "What about the Loop where I work?" Somehow, I immediately "knew" that she would not be in the Loop at the time would be out of harm's way. Then, with no conscious effort, I suddenly saw the Loop area (downtown Chicago) in a vision. By the way the shadows fell, it seemed to be 12 noon. I could see traffic moving through the downtown area; however, my attention was focused on the base of a huge building. Again came the prelude and the earthquake. Autos were literally flung off the streets into buildings by the violent movements of the earth. A horrible chorus of creaking, screaming, and grating sounds filled the air, not unlike the masts of great sailing ships in a storm, as the skyscrapers swayed to and fro. The giant building I had noticed began to shear off from its base about 20 feet from the sidewalk but surprised me by not falling. Bricks, stone, glass, debris of every sort fell into the streets below like hail driven by a storm wind. The Loop collapsed in piles of screaming stone, glass, and steel; human voices were drowned out by the crash of the buildings. It was not a pretty sight. for many whole buildings just fell over like tinker toys.
As the quake ended, I heard many voices speaking of their "great luck to be alive." Many awaited rescue parties, but none were giving thanks to God. Suddenly my view shifted to the lake front. After the earthquake ended, the waters of lake Michigan quickly quieted down, then strangely became very quiet, very still. The very calm water then seemed to tremble or bead-up, and, as I watched, the level of the water began to drop. There was a "whooshing" sound as the water literally flowed in a generally northeasterly direction* and was gone, except for some rather large puddles of water here and there.
*Note - to later years as I traveled across the U.S. and Canada on the Sealing trip (1982-
1989) 1 met Christians in Ontario Canada who had visions of a massive flood of water sweeping into their towns, which subsequently wiped them out. They were seeing the backwash of Lake Michigan before it roared back at Chicago and the Midwest.
A period of time then passed in that same day; but how much time I do not know.

JULY 2, 1973 Vision (continued) From a vantage point at street level in the Loop where I watched, suddenly I heard this terrible roaring sound; the sunlight was totally blotted and everything was engulfed in a suffocating darkness. Later I was to see an aerial view of Chicago's downtown area, when the returning wall of water from Lake Michigan would crash into the Loop with unbelievable force, surrounding the great skyscrapers still standing. They would withstand the waters for a moment; then they would slowly twist around to fall and vanish forever in the churning waters. I clearly received an impression that buildings north of the Loop (at ]east past the fault line) would survive somehow. The wall of water was not a wave, nor a tidal force, nor a crest - it was the whole of Lake Michigan moving in a massive body westward with ir r esistible, terrifying, unbelievable force. Everything in its path would be pulverized - totally obliterated. Although the water was over 15 stories high (using the Eisenhower Expressway as a central measuring point), the depth of water dropped sharply once one traveled about 12 miles to the south or north; however, the shallowest I was shown was still about 20 feet of water. July 4, 1973. I was driving east on the Eisenhower Expressway. Again I saw the aftermath of the earthquake; autos were piled up bumper-to-bumper, exit ramps were either broken up or blocked, bridges were down everywhere. It was a warm day and a number of drivers were blowing their horns (which didn't help the chaotic situation at all), when suddenly, the wall of water appeared in the east. Some of the people just froze, most ran to the right or left to try to hide or escape. One man got out of his car and knelt down to pray. He was the only smart one, for he would meet his Maker on his knees. The water engulfed them all. Houses were pulverized into nothing in an instant; concrete and asphalt were peeled back, the road bed was swept away in a moment, and then I saw 10 to 20 feet of earth flushed away in the twinkling of an eye. In a nearby cemetery I watched the headstones, the dirt, the concrete boxes, and the coffins, as well as the clay beneath them, be quickly and successively torn away with the force of the wall of water. Then the water moved over me, and my view then shifted to the top of the water. There was that man who had knelt to pray; he now bobbed to the surface like a cork, unharmed. The Lord God saved him right out of the midst of destruction because the man trusted in Him.

JULY 4, 1973 Vision ,continued During the first of the visions I was a stunned observer, hardly believing what I was seeing; but by July 4, 1973, the reality of this future disaster reached my heart. I thought of all the people who would be destroyed, and I shuddered at the carnage. Then, for the first time since July 2, I turned to the Lord God in my spirit and asked: 'Oh Father, will it be? Must it be? Might it be avoided?" In that very instant of prayer, I was swept into the Spirit and found myself overlooking the whole city of
Chicago. An angel of the Lord had his hand on me; below I saw the massive savingHand of God placed between this city and the Lake, and I heard this loud, strong voice say, "THIS WILL I DO IF MY CHILDREN TURN BACK TO ME!"
Later, I remembered that throughout human history, no major natural disaster ever came upon man without man having first been warned by prophets of the Lord God. Now, by the Holy Spirit I saw an old colored man with a bell in his hand moving through the black neighborhoods, ringing his bell and calling the people to repentance. The old man was cursed by many and spit upon. I saw him crying, crying for those hard-hearted people. At one point a band of young toughs with murderous intent circled him and closed in on him from every side. A band of angels appeared about him and the would-be killers fled in fear. Those who would kill him could not, for he was commissioned by God to warn many. At the time, my heart went out to hire, for his mission was so difficult but it was also rewarding; for I also saw many repenting for their sins.
Though I've never met him in the flesh, in my vision the old black man was striking in appearance. He was mostly bald except for a patch of white hair on the sides and back of his head. He was cocoa colored, his eyes brown and full of kindness and love, and he had the kind of Christ-presence that makes a person strong, resilient, and i mpressive. His face was quite lovely to look upon - full of years and blessed by the grace of Jesus Christ. He seemed to be wearing a cape of some light grey or white color. In his right hand he held a brass bell with a wooden handle and in his left hand, an old black leather bound Bible. Although he was old and moved slowly, his voice was clear, distinct and strong. I heard him say, "The Hand of God's wrath is upon thee; turn from thy wickedness and repent or the wrath of God will soon fall upon you and destroy you for your evil ways. Hear this for it is from the Lord Thy God... "

JULY 4, 1973 Vision (continued) So it is, so it shall be - for now I know and see many prophets bringing "final warning." Some are killed, some injured, others kept safe; but regardless, the word is spread, the warnings delivered. Let those who hear heed the warning. July 3 and 4, 1973. After the wall of water had engulfed the city and swept it away, I observed what seemed to be an endless flow of water moving steadily westward. Because I had seen St. Louis swamped and drowned out of existence by a broad body of water, I assumed that the water would connect somewhere with the Mississippi River and move southward, causing the Mississippi River to swell greatly beyond its banks. Again, I watched the water roar westwardly for days; I lost track of how long it moved like this, but was aware that the larger part, if not the whole, of Lake Michigan was emptying out. Farther from the city, to the west, I did see areas that were above water and intact except for earthquake damage, and some years after these first visions was able to identify the Chicago suburb of Woodridge as one of those areas that will be either partly or wholly above the flooding waters. I did see ditches here and there, with water running over them, and in the ditches I observed masses of canned goods, stripped of labels, but largely intact in the water and mud of the ditches. I also saw the bodies of the dead, human and animal, floating everywhere. Dismembered bodies covered the disaster area, although, thankfully, most were buried in the churning tide of mud that moved beneath the water. When the water began to subside, I would see corpses caught in branches of uprooted trees, appearing all through the widespread wreckage. When the water actually subsides after the real earthquake, we will view a vast mud plain with islands of refuge here and there - the stench of rotting flesh, decomposing vegetation and stinking stagnant water in the hot, humid weather will seem unbearable. Almost immediately after the worst part of the destruction, in a vision I saw flying overhead U.S. aircraft of various types dropping supplies by parachute to stranded survivors. Later, the airplanes stopped coming, but I did not then know why. Immediately after the flooding waters passed a given area, I saw survivors coming out of the water, some adults but very many children, all injured and half naked or altogether naked and all in shock. They were received by certain Christian

JULY 3-4 ] 973 Vision (continued) communities and clothed, their injuries tended to, and later they were given places to live. I was not clearly aware of it at the time, but today know that these "communities" or isles spared from the waters' destruction will be peopled by Christians who have prepared to some extent. When I saw so many young children surviving, I couldn't help but wonder how a three or four year old child could survive the waters when their parents did not; the Lord would later tell me, "BECAUSE THEY ARE INNOCENT." I also observed some others emerging from among the survivors; those I would later identify as "marauders." These men, hoping for gain, would begin to search among the corpses, taking rings, gold, and other jewelry, and even looking for gold fillings in teeth. In a while they began to band together, arming themselves, and when they came upon these surviving communities, would take them by force, raping, torturing, and killing as they wished. With no government or police in organized operation, these men followed their basic natures. I realized then and still do now, that the Christians would need to be prepared to defend themselves. My knowledge seemed to indicate that it would be almost a year after the disaster before troops arrived. When they finally came they were bearded, tired, dirty, hungry, and tattered. When they came upon these marauding bands, they quickly disarmed them, and shot them on the spot, then marched on. That sequence of events puzzled me at the time of the 1973 vision - I did not understand why U.S. troops would be on foot, why they would be so ragged, and why they shot the marauders without even the hint of due process of law. I looked over the Chicagoland area after the waters subsided and the mud had dried, and I was astonished. Lake Michigan was gone; only a hilly lake bed remained to be seen. Mud covered everything - dried mud stretched over a vast expanse of what was once a great city. Bleached bones of the long-dead protruded here and there. There were no trees, no grass, just dead silence. To the north I saw the ruins of buildings and in the northwest there were whole areas of standing homes and buildings, but even these were only patches here and there. The toll of the dead was beyond estimation.

JULY 4. 1973 Vision (continued)
"Watch the birds" From what I was allowed to see in those July days of 1973, I arrived at some conclusions about this future disaster. The day of the earthquake would be bright, warm or hot, with no clouds. The earthquake would strike late in the morning or very near noon - 1 was sure that it would take place in the summer months. One i mpression hit me; one should watch for the birds - when they go, the quake is near. Though I was not sure, I thought or felt that the disaster may strike on a weekend, but of this I was not sure. Though the Lord did not give me a precise date at that time, I knew "it is near but not yet." I noticed that after the flooding waters dried up, the entire area was swallowed up in a dead calm, for no wind blew, and in the heat mixed with the stench, the air almost seemed to turn blue-green. Some survivors hid in closed rooms in unbearable heat to escape the stench. The stillness was truly remarkable. It seemed as if the whole world was holding its breath.
FLUFFY CLOUD FORMED THE NUMBER "17" On July 5, 1973, I could bear no more of the vision and cried unto God to take it from me, and He lifted it from my seeing. A little while later I turned to the Lord and asked Him when all of this would happen. I was given a vision of the number 17, made up of what looked like fluffy white clouds. I did not know if that meant 17 days, weeks, months, or years or centuries - I had no understanding. Over the years since 1973, the Lord by His Holy Spirit has continued to give us a deeper understanding of this disaster of disasters. Today we know that Chicago will be the center of an earthquake that will have an approximate destructive radius of 300 miles - we believe it will be the worst earthquake in recorded human history, second to none in destructiveness. The cities that will be flattened by this earthquake will be Chicago, Illinois; St. Paul, Minnesota; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; St. Louis, Missouri; Louisville, Kentucky; Indianapolis, Indiana; Detroit, Michigan; Toledo, Ohio; Cleveland, Ohio; Columbus, Ohio; Cincinatti, Ohio; and Kansas City, Missouri. Southern Ontario, Canada, and parts of southwestern Quebec, Canada, will be obliterated by the waters of the Great Lakes as they "backwash" and just before they return as a wall over Chicago and other areas. The Lord by the Holy Spirit revealed

March 26, 2007
JULY 4, 1973 Vision (continued) that the sound of the "cracking" of the ground or fault will be so fierce that windows will be shattered in Des Moines, Iowa, some 316 miles from Chicago. When the earthquake hits Chicago, people will be knocked off their feet in Detroit and trees will fall out of the ground in St.Louis, Missouri, some 269 miles from Chicago. The sound of the crack will be heard as far away as Denver, Colorado - literally, the whole continental mass will tremble. This is the vision of the earthquake that swept me up from July 2, 1973 to July 5, 1 973. 1 didn't know why I'd seen it or what I was to do with the vision. I was not
afraid to stay in Chicago and had no intention of leaving until the Lord told me to. I typed up my notes, filed them, and tried to forget the vision, albeit unsuccessfully. Post note: On June 28, 1980 the HOLYSPIRIT revealed a huge fault line running through Chicago all the way to St. Louis and then all the way west to Washington State. It will be this fault, that runs directly under Chicago 's downtown area, that will rip apart and devastate the region. This was confirmed when geologists discovered (1981) a giant rift (fault) running from Washington State diagonally across North America (through St. Louis and onto the Northern Florida). CONSTRUCTION WORKER: Sometime in 1979 a construction worker telephoned inc with some information. He had heard my tape (A CALL TO ARMS) in which Idescribed the vision of the earthquake where I mentioned thefault running through downtown Chicago. He had worked driving pilingsfor a new building in the downtown area and mentioned that they had hit what was thought to be a pocket in the bed rock. They usually poured concrete in the hole and set the piling in the concrete. However, it proved to be a bottomless hole - they'd come on a huge crack in the bed rock - the very fault JESUS chewed me in the vision of] 973 and again in 1980. End of Vision of July 2-5, 1973
REVELATIONS OF 1979 AND ON ADDED EARTHQUAKES In 1979 JESUS began revealing a wholly different earthquake to hit the Midwest, which after a time had me guessing as to what was coming. Here is some of what JESUS told me in this time: JESUS' Word ofAugust 14. 1979 : "...THERE WILL

DAY FOR CHICAGO..." On September 24, 1979 JESUS said this: "THIS NIGHT AT ABOUT MIDNIGHT, SEPTEMBER 25'' l ...I WILL EXECUTE JUDGMENT ON CHICAGO, ILLINOIS OF USA OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION... GREAT WILL BE THE LOSS." On October 8, 1979 JESUS said this: ` WATCH OCTOBER 15...CALIFORNIA IS LAST AS YOU THOUGHT FINALLY BUT FIRST IN THE BEGINNING OF THE BEGINNING." On October 18, 1979 JESUS said this: `INDEED WATCH DECEMBER 14TH, RUSSIA WILL TRY THIS NATION'S STRENGTH AS NEVER TH BEFORE... INDEED WATCH DECEMBER 14 , VERY DANGEROUS AND FEAR WILL BE STIRRED IN THE NATION'S HEART, BUT IT IS NOT FOR YET. I WILL INTERVENE THOUGH LIFE BE LOST AND ANGER ABOUND; IT WILL COOL, IT WILL RESETTLE AND CEASE A THREAT FOR A TIME."
On November 10, 1979 JESUS said this: "...DO NOT EXPECT QUAKE IN HAWAII - KNOW. BEWARE OF RUSSIA: THIS ENEMY IS BEHIND MOST ALL WORLD TROUBLE. KNOW THAT WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS

JESUS' Word o November 10, 1979 (continued) CERTAIN. EXPECT A NUCLEAR DISASTER IN THIS NATION, NEAR CHICAGO...EARTHQUAKES WILL SEEM QUIET NOW BUT IN A MOMENT DISTRESS WILL SEIZE MULTITUDES SUDDENLY,..CUBA SHALL BE THE INSTRUMENT TO INITIATE THE WAR COMING. IRAN IS A DEADLY ENEMY OF THIS NATION BECAUSE OF THEIR DOCTRINE." At another time JESUS told me that the quake to strike Chicago would be a 7.6 Richter and at another time He revealed that a major earthquake would center in St. Louis, Missouri killing 50,000 and would cause a 33% destruction in Chicago at the same time. In 1979 my head was spinning with all the revelation JESUS gave me. Remember that at the time I was a young prophet of the Lord lacking in both experience and seasoning and tended to add to JESUS' Word, more often adding a year to revealed days of the month for events that would prove to be wrong. But not everything was wrong: for example - October 15, 1979 Calexico, California was shaken by a 6.5 Richter earthquake as JESUS told me on October 8, 1979 (see JESUS' Word on Page 15). On December 14, 1979 the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan starting what would prove to be a ten year war (see JESUS' Word of October 18, 1979 on Page 15). After a time of reflection, prayer and calmness I began to understand that JESUS was revealing a complex array of judgment events that were all intertwined with each other. Sorting it all out was neither easy nor accomplished without some years of prayer and discernment. The first thing I understood was that there would be what JESUS called "PRELUDE EARTHQUAKES", events which would precede the monster earthquake revealed in the vision of 1973. At first I understood that there would be one "prelude quake" but in time I recognized that there were at least two other "prelude quakes", maybe more. These were: (1) A 6.7 Richter "prelude" earthquake to hit Chicago. This would be a warning

REVELATIONS OF 1979 AND ON
(continued) tremor some 13 days before the main quake struck and it had a distinct signature - there would be a strong rumbling thunder and shaking of the earth; a sharp upwards displacement and then the rumbling thunder would fade away. This would happen some 13 days before the main quake was to hit. (2) There would be a killer quake to strike St. Louis which would also shake Chicago with deadly effect, knocking down a third of the city and shattering city services for some time. This would likely be the 7.6 Richter earthquake. This 7.6 Richter earthquake would strike on September 19 ` " and would precede the monster quakes (as revealed in 1973) by two year's time. How did I arrive at September 19 th for the date of the strong 7.6 Richter earthquake to hit Chicago? Actually, in prayer I asked JESUS to know the date and He told me to set a date - I selected September 19 th and prophesied it in.
THE YEAR 1985: The Lord revealed that Lucifer had power to cause a major destruction in the U.S. but because of prayer-intercession we could block it and so the Lord led me to block that quake from Chicago and I did so prophetically on September 17, 1985. Lucifer selected a secondary target - Mexico City-and struck it with an 8.1 Richter earthquake on September 19, 1985 killing 20,000. This event confirmed to me that Chicago will be hit by a killer earthquake on a September I91h.
MIDWEST EARTHQUAKES This is a list of the earthquakes JESUS told me about from 1973 to the present time that would directly affect the Midwest U.S.A. This does not take into consideration earthquakes happening elsewhere that are sequentially associated with Midwest earthquakes such as quake activity on the West Coast or the East Coast of the U.S.
1. The Warning Tremor This will happen approximately 13 days BEFORE a major earthquake, likely the 7.6

REVELATIONS OF 1979 AND ON (1. The Warning Tremor: Continued) Magnitude earthquake to hit on September 19 th . It and will probably start at 7PM of the 7 th day of the month as a rolling thunder and shaking of the earth followed by a vertical shock (bump upwards) after which the thunderous shaking will fade away.
2. The 6.7 Magnitude Earthquake When this earthquake will happen and where it will have its epicenter is not known. It may hit in the St. Louis area (epicenter) or it may hit Chicago directly. There may or may not be a warning tremor. Revelation suggests it will happen in the month of September.
3. The 7.6 Magnitude Earthquake This earthquake will strike on September 19` x ' but its epicenter is not known - it may be centered in Chicago or St. Louis but it will cause substantial damage and there will be a high loss of life.
4. The Monster Earthquake 9.0+ Magnitude) This is the earthquake revealed in the July 1973 vision shared in the first part of this report. I perceive that it will hit on a July 5 `1 '• Presently, we believe it can happen July 5, 2010.
THE NUMBER "17" In 1973 after I asked JESUS when this monster earthquake would strike the Midwest, I was given to see white clouds forming the number "17". Well, it could mean 17 hours, 17 days, 17 weeks, 17 months or 17 years. Counting 17 years from 1973 came to 1990. Well, it wasn't 1990. In working to understand the timing of judgment as JESUS asked me to do starting in 1979, 1 learned that having the right starting point in any count down is the key to timing such as the 17 given by JESUS in 1973.

THE NUMBER "17" (continued) Years before JESUS told me that I could not complete His revelation apart from my Godly wife, Nancy-TONI (who showed up in 1985). In 1993 there was a horrific rain storm in the Midwest and flooding was widespread: the Mississippi River overflowed its banks flooding vast areas of Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. Nothing like had been ever seen, it was a record breaking flood. Nancy-TGNI noted that heavy cloud cover preceded the downpour that became a flood in the Mississippi River in 1993. She realized that the 17 years could be added to 1993 as a valid starting point. Why? (A) The monster earthquake would result in the Lake Michigan pouring out of its lake bed and flooding into the Mississippi Riverbasin. The effect of this massive rain storm in 1993 was very like that: the Mississippi River basin was severely flooded.
(B) The storm clouds of this flood could be tied-into the clouds formed into a number 17.
Thus 1993 + 17 = 2010. Counting backward from 2010 as a starting point would place the major earthquake (7.6 Magnitude) as happening in 2008. As already noted, the recent revelation given to Prophet Dan Bohler points to a serious earthquake striking St. Louis in 2007. The month of June is one possibility for such an event (it could also strike later in the year). This is likely the 6.7 Magnitude earthquake that JESUS revealed in 1979. TOPOGRAPHY: A 6.7 Magnitude earthquake in California would be a serious earthquake, but the same intensity quake hitting the Midwest would be TEN TIMES deadlier and more destructive. The soil in the Midwest, unlike California, is stacked high on the bed rock, which means an earthquake will generate a lot of violent motion in the Midwest (like shaking jello).

WHAT SHOULD I/WE DO? If you live in this area (Midwest) making some kind of preparation against this day is a key to enduring troubles. The first kind of preparation is to simply get close to God through JESUS CHRIST. Spiritual preparation is foundational to anything else you may do. Read your Bible (or get one if you don't have one) and pray daily asking the Lord JESUS to keep you and your loved ones safe through what is coming. Daily prayer is a key to being prepared, asking God to keep you, lead you, undergird you and safeguard your comings and goings. Having sufficient emergency supplies (food, water, batteries, plastic sheeting, tape, etc.) that when the earthquake strikes you are prepared already. Running to the store after an earthquake may be a difficult experience: in all likelihood you will find the shelves stripped clean or face lines of people trying to get whatever is available. Having five gallon cans of gasoline in your garage or storage shed is also advised after a strong earthquake power interruptions will be very likely and that means the gas stations won't be able to pump the gas they have in their tanks and where power is on, gas supplies will vaporize. An earthquake of any magnitude in the Midwest will knock down overpasses, break up road beds, down bridges - in all likelihood you will be on your own for anywhere from two to three weeks before any relief shows up. Do you know what is valued in such times more than gold, food or even water? Toilet paper! An earthquake can also shut off municipal water supplies so you may not have water to flush y our toilets or to wash dishes or yourself. Whether or not it will get this serious is not known but keep this in mind - the first strong earthquake is a WARNING of worse to come. Seriously consider NOT being in the vicinity after the first strong quake. I plan to write a book that I will title, "WARNING SIGNS" - things to look for to forewarn you of what is coming next. End of report. God bless. Div ,rHRir
