This book changed my life in 1985

I read it in 85' and my gut told me it's true. Now I'm seeing it come to pass.

Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth

David Wilkerson's book, "Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth," written in 1985 is like reading a newspaper in 2010. Rev. Wilkerson has taken a lot of hits and criticism on his prophetic books. However, time has proven him to be 100 percent accurate!! Those who like to criticize his prophetic books are hiding their heads in the sand! The scriptures back up his statements plus current world events are validating his them. The tests of true prophecy are 1. Is it scriptural? and 2. Does it come to pass? His writings pass both tests. I would encourage all who are serious about getting their spiritual houses in order to read this book.

Sadly, it's the truth

Why do the spiritually blind insist on reading books without braille? This book by David Wilkerson takes no prisoners -- and that includes heresy hunters and "lukewarm" churchgoers (notice I didn't mention Christians). I believe one must be spirit-filled to fully agree with this book. The mood echoes that of a 20th century Jeremiah or Ezekiel -- and the finger of woe is pointed directly at America. I, for one, believe that America is in great danger. I do not claim to be a doomsday prophet; I take notice of the signs of the time. Yes, you don't have to be a spiritual giant to see that TV is immersed in total trash. The author wrote this book back in 1985, and television was bad enough then. Now, just about everything on the screen is coated with sensual sinfulness and dipped in blasphemy and arrogance. And TV has become an undeniable idol for this nation. Nothing at all glorifies God on the big screen (or the "Babylonian idiot box", as the author writes). Popular music and its artists bow down to the whims of society rather than to the Living God. I challenge anyone to dispute the fact that both music and television have slipped even further away from God since the 80's. Things have gotten worse dramatically since Elvis' 1950-ish gyrations -- now the hip-hop artists glamorize cop shootings and drunken orgies. Rock stars perform their shows under the influence of narcotics and intoxicants. The cross meanwhile is tattoed on their arms and worn around their necks. I've recently been to a so-called Christian concert and heard some of the bands that stood for Jesus. Personally, I couldn't tell the difference between Slayer and Pillar. It was all head-banging and moshing. The lead singer grunted and growled and wore ripped-up, grungy jeans. His body was covered with tattoos. If Jesus Christ was being glorified during the all the moshing and stage diving, I must have missed it. I say David Wilkerson is right on the money when he prophesies God will judge this nation for such foolishness and rebellion -- and most of all, for making a mockery of His name. Remember, God will not be mocked. Hosea 4:6 says that God's people will be destroyed for lack of knowledge. Very often I see some supposed "born-again" Christian artist get on television and sing for Jesus in a video. But I notice the cherry-red lipstick and seductive eye liner and I see her strike lewd glances at the camera and blow kisses, and I say "Wait a minute! Isn't this supposed supposed to be all about Jesus? Why then do I need to see all the close-ups on her pretty face and slender physique?" That, to me, is a stumbling block for young men. All I see is cleavage, muscles and hair gel. Just insert "God" in the lyrics or a "thank-you, Jesus" and the artist becomes an instant Christian role model for some kid. And as for Russia destroying America...it's not too late. It's never too late for stuff like that to happen. Cold War, Shmold War. All the reviewers here who automatically labeled the author
