A.A. Allen's Vision Of The Fall & Destruction Of America

Asa Alonzo Allen was born in Sulphur Rock, Arkansas on March 27, 1911. He had a deeply unhappy childhood. His parents were alcoholic, his mother (a Cherokee Native American) was unfaithful and he grew up in dire poverty. His mother would put him to bed as a baby with alcohol in his bottle to keep him quiet. As a young boy A.A. would make some extra money by singing on the street corners. At the age of 14, feeling desperate to leave the misery of home behind, he ran away. He bummed rides, hopped freight trains, and did odd jobs.

In 1934 Allen drove by the Onward Methodist Church in Miller, Missouri and heard the sound of joyous singing. Curious he went into the meeting and a woman evangelist was preaching. He went to the meeting again the next night and committed his life to Christ. He began to turn his life around. There was no work where he was so he moved to Colorado to work on a ranch. He met a young woman named Lexie Scriven, and they were married in 1936. He also came into contact with Pentecostalism through a home meeting and became filled with the Spirit. Allen had a desire to preach the gospel that had changed him and he decided to become a minister and affiliated with the relatively new Assembly of God denomination. Allen would chop wood to make money and then travel to small towns to preach the gospel.

In 1936 he took a pastorate in Holly, Colorado a small town near the Kansas border. Allen was officially ordained as an Assembly of God minister during his time there. During this pastorate, Allen fasted and prayed and God met him. He was given a list of thirteen things that would cause him to see the power of God in his ministry. Many of these items focused on total consecration to God and laying down sin. God told him if he did all of these things he would see healings and miracles. He left the pastorate and began to hold meetings as a singing healing evangelist. In 1947 Allen accepted a call to pastor a church in Corpus Christi, Texas and wanted to settle down and have a family life. During this time the church blossomed. Allen had a vision for reaching more people so he wanted to start a radio ministry. The church at the time turned him down and he was devastated. In 1949 the healing revival, notably led by William Branham, was making news. He was incredulous at first, but felt stirred to look into what was happening. He also went to an Oral Roberts tent revival meeting during which he realized as he watched what was happening, that this was the ministry God had called him to. He resigned his pastorate, in 1950, and once again began holding evangelistic meetings. People would be healed in their seats as he preached. He also had his first article in the influential "Voice of Healing" magazine put out by Gordon Lindsay and he became a regular contributor to the magazine for the next few years.

On July 4 1954, A.A. Allen had a vision regarding the Fall of America in the End times and the total destruction of America by the hands of Communist Russia. In the vision he saw a Russian Invasion of America by poisonous nerve gas across major portions of the center of the United States. Just after this he saw Russia attack America on both sides by nuclear weapons all along the coasts. America was totally destroyed and Christians where safe in the cleft of the rock in Jesus. Here is the excerpt in detail of the vision A.A. Allen received from the Lord:

THE VISION OF THE FALL & DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA

As I stood atop the Empire State Building, I could see the Statue of Liberty illuminating the gateway to the new world. Here, spread before me like an animated map, is an area maybe 80 miles in diameter. I was amazed that the Spirit of the Lord should so move me, there atop the Empire State Building. Why should I feel such a surge of His Spirit and power there? Suddenly I heard the voice of the Lord, it was as clear and as distinct as a voice could be. It seemed to come from the very midst of the giant telescope. But when I looked at the telescope, I knew it hadn't come from there, but directly from heaven. The voice said, "The eyes of the lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him. Herein you have done foolishly. Therefore, from henceforth, you shall have wars" (2 Chronicles 16: 9). Immediately when I heard the voice of God, I knew this was a quotation of Scripture but never before had a thing come to me so forcibly by the power of the Spirit. The ticking of the telescope stopped for the man before me had used up his dimes worth. As he stepped away I knew that I was next. As I stepped to the telescope and dropped in my dime, immediately the ticking started again. This ticking was an automatic clock which would allow me to use the telescope for a definitely limited time only.

As I swung the telescope to the north, suddenly the Spirit of God came upon me in a way that I had never thought of before. Seemingly in the Spirit I was entirely caught away. I knew that the telescope itself had nothing to do with the distance which I was suddenly enabled to see, for I seemed to see things far beyond the range of the telescope, even on a bright clear day. It was simply that God had chosen this time to reveal these things to me for as I looked through the telescope, it was not Manhattan Island that I saw, but a far larger view. That morning, much of the view was impaired by fog. But suddenly as the Spirit of the Lord came upon me the fog seemed to clear, until it seemed that I could see for thousands of miles. But that which I was looking upon was not Manhattan island, it was all of the North American Continent spread out before me as a map is spread upon a table, it was not the East River and the Hudson River that I saw on either side, but the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. And instead of the Statue of Liberty standing there in the bay on her small island I saw her standing far out in the Gulf of Mexico. She was between me and the United States. I suddenly realized that the telescope had nothing to do with what I was seeing, but that it was a vision coming directly from God. And to prove this to myself I took my eyes away from the telescope, so that I was no longer looking through the lens, but the same scene remained before me. There, clear and distinct, lay all the North American continent with all it's great cities. To the north lay the Great Lakes. Far to the northeast was New York City. I could see Seattle and Portland far to the northwest. Down the west coast, there were San Francisco and Los Angeles. Closer in the foreground, there lay New Orleans, at the center of the Gulf Coast area. I could see the great towering ranges of the Rocky Mountains, and trace with my eye the Continental Divide. All this and more, I could see spread out before me as a great map upon a table.

And as l looked, suddenly from the sky I saw a giant hand reach down. That gigantic hand was reaching out toward the Statue of Liberty. In a moment her gleaming torch was torn from her hand, and in it instead was placed a cup. And I saw protruding from that great cup, a giant sword, shining as if a great light had been turned upon its glistening edge. Never before had I seen such a sharp, glistening, dangerous sword, it seemed to threaten all the world. As the great cup was placed in the hand of the Statue of Liberty, I heard these words: "Thus saith the Lord of hosts, drink ye and be drunken, spew and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send." As I heard these words, I recognized them as a quotation from (Jeremiah 25: 7). I was amazed to hear the Statue of Liberty speak out in reply, "I WILL NOT DRINK!" Then as the voice thundered and I heard again the voice of the Lord saying, "Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, YE SHALL CERTAINLY DRINK" (Jeremiah 25: 28). Then suddenly the giant hand forced the cup to the lips of the Statue of Liberty, and she became powerless to defend herself. The mighty hand of God forced her to drink every drop from the cup. As she drank the bitter dregs, these were the words that I heard, "Should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of Hosts" (Jeremiah 25: 29). When the cup was withdrawn from the lips of the Statue of Liberty I noticed the sword was missing from the cup, which could mean but one thing. THE CONTENTS OF THE CUP HAD BEEN COMPLETELY CONSUMED! I knew that the sword merely typified war, death, and destruction, which is no doubt on the way. Then as one drunken on too much wine, I saw the Statue of Liberty become unsteady on her feet and begin to stagger and to lose her balance. I saw her splashing in the Gulf, trying to regain her balance. I saw her stagger again and again, and fall to her knees. As I saw her desperate attempts to regain her balance and rise to her feet again, my heart was moved as never before with compassion for her struggles. But as she staggered there in the gulf, once again I heard these words, "Ye shall drink and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more because of the sword that I shall send among you" (Jeremiah 25: 7). As I watched, I wondered if the Statue of Liberty would ever be able to regain her feet, if she would ever stand again. And as I watched it seemed that with all her power she struggled to rise, and finally staggered to her feet again, and stood there swaying drunkenly. I felt sure that at any moment she would fall again - possibly never to rise. I seemed overwhelmed with a desire to reach out my hand to keep her head above water, for I knew that if she ever fell again she would drown there in the Gulf.

Then as I watched, another amazing thing was taking place. Far to the Northwest just out over Alaska, a huge black cloud was arising. As it rose, it was as black as night and it seemed to be in the shape of a man's head. As it continued to arise I observed two light spots in the black cloud. It rose further and a gaping hole appeared. I could see that the black cloud was taking the shape of a skull, the huge white gaping mouth was plainly visible. Finally the head was complete. Then the shoulders began to appear and on either side long, black arms. It seemed that what I saw was the entire North American continent, spread out like a map upon a table with this terrible skeleton-formed cloud arising from behind the table. It rose steadily until the form was visible down to the waist. At the waist, the skeleton seemed to bend towards the United States, stretching forth a hand toward the East and one toward the West, one toward New York and one toward Seattle. As the awful form stretched forward, I could see that the entire attention seemed to be focused upon the USA, overlooking Canada at least for the time being. As I saw the horrible black cloud in the form of a skeleton bending towards America, it bent from the waist over reaching down toward Chicago and out towards both coasts, I knew it's one interest was to destroy the multitudes.

As I watched in horror, the great black cloud stopped just above the great lakes region and turned it's face towards New York City. Then out of the horrible, great gaping mouth began to appear wisps of white vapour which looked like smoke, as a cigarette smoker would blow puffs of smoke from his mouth. These whitish vapors were being blown toward New York City. The smoke began to spread, until it had covered all the eastern part of the United States. Then the skeleton turned to the West, and out of the horrible mouth and nostrils came another great puff of white smoke. This time it was blown in the direction of the West Coast. In a few moments time, the entire West Coast and Los Angeles area was covered with it's vapours. Then towards the center came a third great puff. As I watched, St. Louis and Kansas City were enveloped in its white vapours. Then on it came towards New Orleans. Then on they swept until they reached the Statue of Liberty where she stood staggering drunkenly in the blue waters of The Gulf. As the white vapours began to spread around the head of the statue, she took in one gasping breath, and then began to cough as though to rid her lungs of the horrible vapours she had inhaled. One could readily discern by the coughing that those white vapours had seared her lungs. What were these white vapours? Could they signify bacteriological warfare or nerve gas that could destroy multitudes of people in a few moments time? Then I heard the voice of God, as He spoke again: "Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty, and makes it waste, and turns it upside down, and scatters

abroad the inhabitants thereof. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for The Lord has spoken this word. The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore has the curse devoured the earth and they that dwell therein are desolate; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned and few men are left" (Isaiah 24:1-6).

As I watched, the coughing grew worse. It sounded like a person was about to cough out his lungs. The statue was moaning and groaning, she was in mortal agony. The pain must have been terrific as again and again, she tried to clear her lungs of those horrible white vapors. I watched her there in the Gulf as she staggered, clutching her lungs and her breast with her hands then she fell to her knees. In a moment, she gave one final cough, and made a last desperate effort to rise from her knees, and then fell face forward into the waters of the Gulf and lay still as death. Tears ran down my face as I realized that she was dead! Only the lapping of the waves splashing over her body, which was partly under the water and partly out of water, broke the silence. "A fire consumes before them and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them but a desolate wilderness behind them, and nothing at all escapes them" (Joel 2:3).

Suddenly the silence was shattered by the screaming of sirens. The sirens seemed to scream, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! Never before had I heard such shrill, screaming sirens. They seemed to be everywhere - to the North, South, the East and the West. There seemed to be multitudes of sirens. And as I looked, I saw people everywhere running. But it seemed none of them ran more than a few paces, and then they fell. Even as I had seen the Statue struggling to regain her poise and balance, and finally falling to die on her face, I now saw millions of people falling in the streets on the sidewalks, struggling. I heard their screams for mercy and help. I heard their horrible coughing as though their lungs had been seared with fire. I heard the moanings and groanings of the doomed and the dying. As I watched, a few finally reached shelters, and above the moaning and groanings, I heard these words: "A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth for the Lord has a controversy with the nations. He will plead with all flesh; He will give them that are wicked to the sword. Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of The earth. And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even onto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented neither gathered nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground" (Jeremiah 25:31-33).

Then suddenly I saw from the Atlantic and from the Pacific and out of the Gulf, rocket-like objects that seemed to come up like fish leaping out of the water. High into the air they leaped, each headed in a different direction, but every one towards the U.S. On the ground, the sirens screamed louder and up from the ground I saw similar rockets begin to ascend. To me, these appeared to be interceptor rockets although they arose from different points all over the U.S. However, none of them seemed to be successful in intercepting the rockets that had risen from the ocean on every side. These rockets finally reached their maximum height, slowly turned over, and fell back toward the earth in defeat. Then suddenly, the rockets which had leaped out of the ocean like fish all exploded at once. The explosion was ear- splitting. The next thing which I saw was a huge ball of fire. The only thing I have ever seen which resembled the thing I saw in my vision was the picture of the explosion of the H-bomb in the South Pacific. In my vision, it was so real I seemed to fell a searing heat from it.

As the vision spread before my eyes, and I viewed the widespread desolation brought about by the terrific explosions, I could not help thinking while the defenders of our nation have quibbled over what means of defense to use, and neglected the only true means of defense, faith and dependence upon the true and living God, the thing which she greatly feared has come unto her! How true it has proven that "unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain" (Psalm 127: 1). Then as the noise of the battle subsided, to my ears cam this quotation from (Joel 2: 1-2), "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD comes, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations."

End Of Vision
