Evangalist predicted devastating flood
A devastating flood in New Orleans was predicted by the Rev. Kim Clement, a South Africa-born evangelist, in a prophecy given at a suburban Houston church July 22.
In the prophecy, delivered during a meeting at Christian Life Center in Humble, Texas, Mr. Clement said: “Enough of past curses reminding you of yesterday’s failures. Enough of New Orleans and its treachery. … O, New Orleans, God speaks to you from Houston tonight and says enough of this! For a judgment is coming, says the Spirit of the Lord, and I will take the men that have stood in faith, raise them above the flood that shall destroy those that constantly bicker and stand against my servant Moses, or my servant Bilbo. I want you to understand there are great men in New Orleans that have faith, but you have been set aside not to lose but to win. Enough of this! For I will take the curses and the bodies will eveneven rise and they will come forth on the water, but I will keep you and the stench of death will only last a few days. …”
The reference to “Bilbo” was to the Rev. Garland Bilbo, pastor of Praise Church in New Orleans, Mr. Clement explained in a followup message posted on his Web site, www.kimclement.com. An audio version of the prophecy is also posted on the Web site.
“I had no joy in hearing of the devastations as news came to America of the dreaded ‘Katrina’ and I found myself in a state of mourning and tears,” Mr. Clement wrote. “On the Sunday night before the hurricane hit Louisiana, I was conducting my Hollywood meeting in California and played the prophecy to the people and we gathered around the altar and prayed for God’s mercy. I think He was more merciful than we realize.”
The New Orleans flood is not the first time Mr. Clement has been in the news for a prophecy. On July, 25 1996, in Detroit, Mr. Clement predicted a terrorist attack on America and that the United States would “retaliate with natural weapons of war.”
In the 1996 prophecy, which made headlines after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Mr. Clement said America “will go to the place of the east and we will go and we will bring them down for what they did to our people as they flew in the air over Long Island.”
The Rev. George Barrett, pastor of Foundation Stone Christian Center in Northwood, said God has been using prophets for thousands of years, and that “most of the Old Testament was prophecy.” He said Mr. Clement, who comes to Cathedral of Praise in Monclova Oct. 13-15, is regarded as a reliable prophet whose prophecies often come to pass.
