Summary: God's Prophet for a time to come
Review: Whether David Wilkerson is a prophet of God for a time to come remains to be seen, but according to Scripture, everything which he states in a vision must come to pass. ... ...I read this book when it was first published, and again many years later, and I can't say anything bad about it. If you are going to hinge your life on the words of a mere man, then get real disappointed, pilgrim. If you are going to measure everything a man, including a man of God, says against the Holy Scripture, then you are following the advice of Paul the Apostle, who said "prove everything." But don't discount David Wilkerson, yet. He didn't see everything in vivid color, nor did he understand what the future would hold. But he's been correct, one way or another. Get a grip, those who would dismiss this. Go to Times Square Church in New York City and take it up with him. Get on his mailing list. He loves Christ with all his heart. Maybe some of you should do the same. Highly recommended, but read it from the vantage point of his published date and track where we headed.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Interesting...but false and above accountability
Review: Wilkerson's book was suggested to me by a pastor that I highly respect and admire, however, after reading the book (and several other's) of Wilkerson, I can't help but say that Wilkerson is false, and that this book is amongst many of his false prophecies.

Wilkerson is above accountability, and commonly shows this in this book, and others with "I don't care, this is the vision I had, and no matter what you say will convince me that this was not from the Lord" attitude. He's placed himself above accountability, and is a fallen minister (imo, he had a true calling at one point, but has been living in falseness for many years now.)

This book reaks of bad doctrine, although it brings out many "good points" I guess you could call them (the false often mingle truth with their message to make it harder to reject what is said.) Wilkerson titles this book "The Vision" but he does very little to describe the vision's he actually had. Instead, he seems to be interpreting them. Many times he seems to be "prophetically" offering his opinion's on things.
Also, the reason this book is hard to come by, and is not in print anymore is because it seems quite a few of wilkerson's prophecies have not come to pass. Some movements that existed in his earlier years that he prophesied of their future no longer exist, or have become so small of a movement they are no longer really a major concern. They have been replaced by all sorts of new "charismatic renewal" movements and such.
