Dumitru
Duduman was a Romanian prophet, who courageously furthered the spread of
the gospel behind the Iron Curtain before it came down. He was imprisoned
for his faith, tortured severely for months, but Jesus helped him to
endure. After his release, he was exiled to America, where God spoke
through him to the nation about its imminent fall. He passed on in 1997.
Here are some of the visions he received from God.
Dumitru
Duduman was unique among prophets. In a way he was like Elijah in the
school of the prophets (2 Kings 2:3) – an eminent example to follow. His
commission was difficult, one that no one would choose. Jesus selected him
for the task.22
The first time
Jesus spoke to him, he was in the Romanian army. He was a young man in his
early twenties, ambitious for promotion. His task was to find contraband
Bibles being smuggled by ship from the West into the Soviet bloc. He went
about his duty with ruthless vigour. Missionaries were to be imprisoned
and Bibles confiscated.
That fateful
day when Jesus spoke to him, it was on the Black Sea at Constanta. He had
found a consignment of Bibles. As he was about to arrest the smuggler,
suddenly a voice spoke to him out of nowhere. It really shook him!
"Dumitru,
what are you doing? I brought you here. Don’t confiscate the Bibles.
Return the man’s passport and help him unload the Bibles. If you don’t
do as I say I will punish you!"
Dumitru looked
behind him. He could see no one. "I rushed into another
compartment," he said, "but the voice was even louder in there.
I put my fingers in my ears but it was even louder. I was trembling and
could not stop. I knew it was the Lord talking to me.
"I went
back with the man’s documents in my hand, shaking like a leaf in the
wind. ‘Here’s your passport,’ I said. ‘God has heard your
prayers.’
"When he
heard me he stared at me with astonishment. ‘You are going to become a
Christian!’ he exclaimed.
"
‘Shut up!’ I ordered, ‘or I will arrest you! Now – I will provide
you with some soldiers to help you unload the Bibles and to protect you
from the police.’ And with that I turned on my heel, leaving him
standing in amazement" (Through The Fire Without Burning,23
p 15).
Many years
later, after his conversion and his work as a prophet, his consequent
imprisonment and sufferings, he was exiled to America. In this strange
country whose language he did not know, with hardly any belongings, he was
despondent. At that low point, Jesus (or an angel – we don’t know who)
came to encourage and strengthen him. Jesus also told Dumitru what would
happen to America.
AMERICA WILL BURN!
The
following account is from Dumitru’s own words:
September
1984
Late one night
I could not sleep. The children were sleeping on the luggage. My wife and
daughter were crying. I went outside and walked around. I didn't want them
to see me cry. I walked around the building, crying and saying, "God!
Why did you punish me? Why did you bring me into this country? I can't
understand anybody. If I try to ask anybody anything, all I hear is, 'I
don't know.'"
I stopped in
front of the apartment and sat on a large rock. Suddenly a bright light
came toward me. I jumped to my feet because it looked as if a car was
coming directly at me, attempting to run me down! I thought the Romanian
Secret Police had tracked me to America, and now they were trying to kill
me. But it wasn't a car at all. As the light approached, it surrounded me.
From the light I heard the same voice that I had heard so many times in
prison. He said, "Dumitru, why are you so despairing?"
I said,
"Why did you punish me? Why did you bring me to this country? I have
nowhere to lay my head down. I can't understand anybody."
He said,
"Dumitru, didn't I tell you I am here with you also? I brought you to
this country because this country will burn."
I said,
"Then why did you bring me here to burn? Why didn't you let me die in
my own country? You should have let me die in jail in Romania!"
He said,
"Dumitru, have patience so I can tell you. Get on this."
I got on
something next to him. I don't know what it was. I also know that I was
not asleep. It was not a dream. It was not a vision. I was awake just as I
am now. He showed me all of California and said, "This is Sodom and
Gomorrah! All of this, in one day it will burn! Its sin has reached the
Holy One."
Then he took
me to Las Vegas. "This is Sodom and Gomorrah. In one day it will
burn."
Then he showed
me the state of New York. "Do you know what this is?" he asked.
I said,
"No."
He said,
"This is New York. This is Sodom and Gomorrah! In one day it will
burn."
Then he showed
me all of Florida. "This is Florida," he said. "This is
Sodom and Gomorrah! In one day it will burn."
Then he took
me back home to the rock where we had begun. "All of this I have
shown you – IN ONE DAY IT WILL BURN!"
I said,
"How will it burn?"
He said,
"Remember what I am telling you, because you will go on television,
on the radio and in churches. You must yell with a loud voice. Do not be
afraid, because I will be with you."
I said,
"How will I be able to go? Who knows me here in America? I don't know
anybody here."
He said,
"Don't worry yourself. I will go before you. I will do a lot of
healing in the American churches, and I will open the doors for you. But
do not say anything else besides what I tell you. This country will
burn!"
I said,
"What will you do with the Church?" He said, "I want to
save the Church, but the churches have forsaken me."
I said,
"How did they forsake you?"
He said,
"The people praise themselves. The honour that the people are
supposed to give Jesus Christ, they take upon themselves. In the churches
there are divorces. There is adultery in the churches. There are
homosexuals in the churches. There is abortion in the churches; and all
other sins that are possible. Because of the sin, I have left some of the
churches. You must yell in a loud voice that they must put an end to their
sinning. They must turn toward the Lord. The Lord never gets tired of
forgiving. They must draw close to the Lord, and live a clean life. If
they have sinned until now, they must put an end to it, and start a new
life as the Bible tells them to live."
I said,
"How will America burn? America is the most powerful country in this
world. Why did you bring us here to burn? Why didn't you at least let us
die where ALL the Dudumans have died?"
He said,
"Remember this, Dumitru. The Russian spies have discovered where the
nuclear warehouses are in America. When the Americans will think that it
is peace and safety – from the middle of the country, some of the people
will start fighting against the government. The government will be busy
with internal problems. Then from the ocean, from Cuba, Nicaragua,
Mexico,..." (He told me two other countries, but I didn't remember
what they were.) "...they will bomb the nuclear warehouses. When they
explode, America will burn!"
"What
will you do with the Church of the Lord? How will you save the ones that
will turn toward you?" I asked.
He said,
"Tell them this: how I saved the three young ones from the furnace of
fire, and how I saved Daniel in the lions’ den, is the same way I will
save them."
The angel of
the Lord also told me, "I have blessed [in the physical sense,
financially] this country because of the Jewish people who are in this
country. I have seven million Jews in this country, but they do not want
to recognise the Lord. They didn't want to thank God for the blessings
they received in this country."
"Israel
doesn't want to recognise Jesus Christ. They put their faith in the Jewish
people in America. But, when America burns, the Lord will raise China,
Japan and other nations to go against the Russians. They will beat the
Russians and push them all the way to the gates of Paris. Over there they
will make a treaty, and appoint the Russians as their leaders. They will
then unite against Israel."
"When
Israel realises she does not have the strength of America behind her, she
will be frightened. That's when she will turn to the Messiah for
deliverance. That's when the Messiah will come. Then, the Church will meet
Jesus in the air, and He will bring them back with Him to the Mount of
Olives. At that time the battle of Armageddon will be fought."
When I heard
all of this I said, "If you are truly the angel of the Lord, and
everything you have told me is true, then all you have said must be
written in the Bible."
He said,
"Tell everyone to read from Jeremiah 51:8-15, Revelation chapter 18,
and Zechariah chapter 14, where Christ fights against those who possess
the earth. After His victory," the angel said, "there will be
one flock and one Shepherd. There will be no need for light. The Lamb of
God will be the Light. There will be no sickness, no tears, and no deaths.
There will only be eternal joy and God will be the ruler. There will be
only one language. Only one song. And no need for a translator!"
"And,
Dumitru," he continued, "a word of warning. If you keep anything
from the American people that you are told, I will punish you
severely."
"How will
I know that this is for real – that it will really happen?" I
asked.
"As a
sign that I have spoken to you, tomorrow before you wake I will send
someone to bring you a bed, and at noon I will send you a car and a bucket
of honey. After which, I will send someone to pay your rent." (This
was fulfilled. See chapter 10 of Through The Fire Without Burning.)
Then the angel
left.
The next day,
as the Angel prophesied, someone brought Dumitru a bed to sleep on, and at
noon a car arrived with the bucket of honey. His rent was also paid, as
God had promised him. God always fulfils His Word!
What God has
prophesied through Dumitru Duduman, and through the words of other
prophets included in this publication, will come to pass!
THE BEAST STRIKES
January 21,
1995
(Dumitru
Duduman was in Romania at this time.)
I fell asleep
sometime around midnight. About 2:00 a.m. I heard a loud voice saying to
me "Dumitru! Wake up! I must show you something!" Even though I
was ill, I jumped to my feet, without realising that I was awake. Then I
realised I wasn't even in Romania. I saw myself in America.
A powerful
voice spoke sternly to me, "Why have you become discouraged? Why did
you try to question God, thinking in your heart that I have left you? Why
do you keep so much sadness in your heart, and such a great mourning
because I took your wife?
"Why have
you allowed yourself to become discouraged so that you will no longer be
able to work for Me as you have until now? This is why I have come to you,
to show you a revelation, which you must tell the American people."
The voice
boomed at me, telling me to look to my right. I was awake – not
sleeping. I was standing, and I turned my head as ordered. When I looked,
I saw that there was a great flock of black birds, with very sharp, large
beaks. Out of the beaks came a blinding light, which you could barely look
at. From their tails I saw flames of fire shooting out. I became very
frightened. I rubbed my eyes, thinking I was asleep and dreaming. But I
was neither sleeping nor dreaming.
This flock of
birds suddenly turned into airplanes that did not make any noise. American
airplanes would go up, trying to attack. But as they would draw close,
they would fall to the earth in a blaze of fire.
Once again, I
heard the voice, but I could not see who was speaking to me. The voice
said, "Look higher than the black planes." When I looked, above
the planes, I saw a helicopter which hovered above them. On the side of
the helicopter there was a plank, like on a ship, where soldiers were
lined up, dressed in black, all armed the same, and of about the same
size. From the centre of the helicopter, a platform began to raise up. It
rose higher than the helicopter itself.
On the
platform was a throne. The Pope was on the throne, yelling with a loud
voice, "I have been given the power to rule the earth and to fight
against the Protestants, that I may overtake them."
As I watched
him with terror and fear – because he was surrounded by a powerful force
which was formed by planes and personnel – suddenly a white cloud
appeared and covered them, so I could no longer see anything. Out of the
midst of the white cloud came a man dressed in shining clothes, wearing a
shiny crown on his head. He spoke to me. His voice sounded like thunder.
When I heard his voice, I fell to the ground.
He said,
"Remember everything you've heard, everything you've seen, and
everything you will hear. Tell my people, because once again I want to
work with you more than I have until now. The armies, and the planes that
you saw, and the Beast that sat upon the helicopter – these are the
Catholic powers which will overtake the holy, that the words prophesied in
Revelation24 may come to pass. A majority of my people will be
overtaken and trampled because their lives are not clean before their
Lord. Tell this message to them! Do not be quiet! For if you are quiet, I
will punish you!
"The
churches are fraudulent (counterfeit, fake). They live a life as their
hearts desire, with their hands stained in blood – in adultery, in
sodomy, and worshipping strange and foreign gods. Because they have
forsaken the true God, He has allowed them to go as their hearts desired.
Now, tell them! Cry out loud! Tell them to stop treading the path their
hearts desire – to repent with all their hearts, that in the day of the
Beast's anger I may be able to save them, so they would not deny me. The
time is very short, and the army of their salvation is already
prepared."
Again, He
spoke to me, "Look to your right." When I looked, I saw such a
vast army that my eyes could not encompass it. "This is the army I
have prepared to save my people from the Beast's grasp. Do not forget to
tell them the words that I have told you. I will give you a spirit of
remembrance." The voice continued speaking to me, "I will come
and bring you more revelations about the times of the end."
Then again, I
heard a thunder. Then the white cloud and the Being disappeared. I was so
terrified that I was unable to sleep the rest of the night.
A PROPHECY of WAR in ISRAEL
November 22,
1995
It was as if I
was in Israel. A tall man came, took me by the hand, and said, "Come,
let me show you the Holy City." When we reached the Holy City, all of
it was covered in a black netting, from top to bottom. On top, at its
peak, the city had a black flag.
After seeing
these things, I asked the man that was with me, "What does this
mean?"
"Look up,
and you will see the meaning," he said. When I looked up, I saw a
black emblem, on which there was gold writing. It said, "Israel! You
dishonour Me and you mock Me. You trust in the powers of men. Because you
will not return unto Me, I have this against you, and I will punish you
with great fury. This is also to purify some who want to call upon Me with
a clean heart. The shame and blasphemy that they have caused has reached
heaven."
After I read
these things, the man standing beside me said, "Let us leave this
place, or we will be caught in the wrath." It seemed I was suddenly
on an American plane, which was about to land with me in California. When
I was about to disembark, I heard sirens which howled loudly, and a great
sound of many plane engines was heard. The man with me said, "The
punishment draws closer. Look closely and read."
When I looked
up, I saw a written scroll appear before my eyes. The writing was in
Romanian. It said, "American people; those of you who have
dishonoured and mocked me; you who have brought hatred and blasphemy
against My name throughout the world; for these things My vengeance draws
closer. As for My children, those who have worshiped Me with all their
hearts, I will fight before them and I will give them victory and safety.
I will separate those who have worshiped Me from those who have not, as I
separated Goshen and Egypt." I tried to read it one more time, but I
could not. The writing had gathered into the scroll.
The noise of
the engines grew even louder. The man beside me turned to me and said,
"These are planes loaded with atom bombs, and no one, and nothing
will be able to stop them." Then, suddenly, a great number of black
planes lifted off the ground like a flock of birds. I knew the planes were
American, but I had no knowledge of what their purpose was or what they
were supposed to do.
Then the
written scroll was thrown before me. I stepped closer to pick it up, but
when I drew near, I saw that it burned with a blue flame. The flame began
to climb into the sky. As I was looking at the flame, I heard a voice
coming from it saying, "My Word is righteous. I am the Christ who has
brought this news to you. Do not be quiet. Tell the American people all
that I have told you, and all that I have revealed to you ahead of time;
for the destruction which is coming over them I did not allow to come
unannounced. The punishment is even at the door."
The man beside
me spoke again, "Look up." When I looked I could not see the sky
because there were so many planes. Then the man said to me. "Thank
the Lord for what He has shown you." Then, I began to pray and thank
God.
While I was
praying I heard a prophecy for myself. "Get ready, and sanctify
yourself, you and yours, that you and yours may not take part in the
trials that are ahead. This is why I have shown you these things. I have
shown you what is to come in a short while. All that you have seen is at
the door, because the sin and wickedness have reached the throne of God's
mercy."
Then there was
great lightning and thunder. I fell to the ground and was awakened from my
sleep.
ONE PAGE REMAINS
January 1996
As I was
riding in the car from Kansas toward Nebraska, I saw a large star appear
before me. This star appeared, and disappeared before my eyes 4 times. I
told my grandson what I had seen, and he said, "Pray, and see what
God shows you."
The next
evening as I was praying, I saw the star again. It shone with such
intensity, that it took my eyesight away. Two men walked out of this star,
dressed in shining garments. One spoke to me:
"Dumitru,
listen and remember. Your returning to America was My plan, and My
decision. I still have names to add to the number before all the things
that I have shown you will happen."
They opened a
great book and said, "Do you remember how many pages were left to
fill when I showed you last time? Now, there is but one page left. When
this is completed, what I have told you will happen to America." The
man proceeded to tell me that the time it would take for this page to be
filled, would not be longer, but shorter. He closed the book, and sounds
of thunder reverberated.
Frightened of
what I had seen, I continued to pray.
CHINA & RUSSIA STRIKE
(A Vision
Received by Dumitru Duduman, April 22 1996.)
I prayed, then
went to bed. I was still awake, when suddenly I heard a trumpet sound. A
voice cried out to me, "Stand!"
In my vision,
I was in America. I walked out of my home, and began to look for the one
who had spoken to me. As I looked, I saw three men dressed alike. Two of
the men carried weapons. One of the armed men came to me. "I woke you
to show you what is to come. he said. "Come with me."
I didn't know
where I was being taken, but when we reached a certain place he said,
"stop here!"
A pair of
binoculars was handed to me, and I was told to look through them.
"Stand
there, don't move, and look," he continued. "You will see what
they are saying, and what they are preparing for America."
As I was
looking, I saw a great light. A dark cloud appeared over it. I saw the
president of Russia and a short, chubby man, who said he was the president
of China, and two others. The last two also said where they were from, but
I did not understand. However, I gathered they were part of Russian
controlled territory. The men stepped out of the cloud.
The Russian
president began to speak to the Chinese one. "I will give you the
land with all the people, but you must free Taiwan of the Americans. Do
not fear, we will attack them from behind."
A voice said
to me, "Watch where the Russians penetrate America."
I saw these
words being written: Alaska; Minnesota; Florida.
Then, the man
spoke again, "When America goes to war with China, the Russians will
strike without warning."
The other two
presidents spoke, "We, too, will fight for you."
Each had a
place already planned as a point of attack.
All of them
shook hands and hugged. Then they all signed a contract. One of them said,
"We're sure that Korea and Cuba will be on our side, too. Without a
doubt, together, we can destroy America."
The president
of Russia began to speak insistently, "Why let ourselves be led by
the Americans? Why not rule the world ourselves? They have to be kicked
out of Europe, too! Then I could do as I please with Europe!"
The man
standing beside me asked, "This is what you saw: they act as friends,
and say they respect the treaties made together. But everything I've shown
you is how it will REALLY happen. You must tell them what is being planned
against America. Then, when it comes to pass, the people will remember the
words the Lord has spoken."
Who are
you?" I asked.
"I am the
protector of America. America's sin has reached God. He will allow this
destruction, for He can no longer stand such wickedness. God, however,
still has people that worship Him with a clean heart as they do His work.
He has prepared a heavenly army to save these people."
As I looked, a
great army, well armed and dressed in white, appeared before me.
"Do you
see that?" the man asked. "This army will go to battle to save
My chosen ones. Then, the difference between the godly and the ungodly
will be evident."
NUMBERED DAYS
A Prophecy,
November 21, 1994
"Awaken
my people", says the voice of the Lord. "Be passive no longer.
Draw closer today more than ever, for the day of My vengeance is ready to
begin. I will shake the earth from its foundation, and I will require
punishment of all those that say they do My will, yet through what they do
they blaspheme My name. I will punish prophets, preachers, singers, and
all those that do a work, yet they do it for their own glory. I will
judge, and punish the entire world. Only those that today sit at My feet
in meekness, weeping, and worshipping Me, asking for My help, will rejoice
in the protection of the arm of the Lord on that day."
"Forsake
every evil thought, all the empty words, all covetousness, pride and
hypocrisy, because in whatever way you are used, it is not you doing it
but I the Lord. Where are My clean gifts that I have poured among you;
speaking in tongues, prophecy, and other gifts that were given unto you?
Where is My power?" says the Lord.
"Change
your hearts today, My people, for the days are numbered until I will begin
to avenge. My eye sees in the light, as well as in the darkness, My
people. There is nowhere you can hide from the eye of God. Liars,
impostors, those that are covetous, and all those that have only a form of
Godliness, but deny the power of God, I will judge them, and then I will
judge the whole world. I will shake it from its foundations. In many
places there will be massacres. Those that today worship Me with
faithfulness will be the only ones protected on that day. The horn is
ready to sound for the start of the battle. The days are numbered until
you will hear the sound, when the armies of heaven will begin the battle
against the inhabitants of earth. No army in the world will be able to
stand against the armies of heaven, and the army of hell will not be able
to raise its head against the Lord's army. Yet, those that worship Me in
spirit and in truth, I will protect, for I am God. Everything you see
around you will be no more. Everything will be destroyed and burn in fire.
Do not be passive. Draw close to Me, for I come to avenge, and fulfil all
that was said in the past," says the Lord.
22 Although
Dumitru Duduman was the son of a Pentecostal pastor in Romania, at first
he did not go along with his father's beliefs. He rebelled. It was at this
time that he entered the Romanian army.
