This vision was given to the late Kenneth E. Hagin in 1963. Also, Kenneth Hagin knew that his college was going to be used to start this great awakening.

Yea, the hand of the Lord was upon me ... the Spirit of God moved upon me ... the voice of God spoke unto me and said, "Come up, come up hither son of man." I went, as it were, up into the air and stood with Him, the Head of the church, even the Lord Jesus Christ...in the air. And as I looked down upon the ground I could see as a map laid out before me the entire nation—all the states of the continental United States. And as I looked He said, "Behold son, and I shall show you that which shall come to pass, and that which the eyes of many shall see. And they shall remember that their ears heard that it shall come to pass." For there came a dark hand up out of the ocean from the east, even from the Atlantic Ocean. It came up out of the sea as a hand and as it rose up into the air it became a dark cloud and it filled the whole atmosphere. Yea, and it swept in like a storm at sea. And I said, "Oh Lord! Oh Lord! Oh Lord! What's the meaning of this?" And He spake unto me and said, "Son, that is the darkness of atheistic communism that is sweeping across the nation—even in the minds of men in high places and politicians with great power. And this nation shall not grow more strong and you shall not have more liberty than you have now, but liberties that you've known and you've seen shall be seized and taken from you."

And I looked again, and I could see upon the mountain a blotch, as though a bottle of ink had been spilled and spread out over several states in the south and east. And then I looked and I could see spots splotched all over the map and I said, "Lord, what meaneth this?" And He said, "Communistic inspired hatred among races shall cause greater turmoil than your nation has seen heretofore. Yea, it is not the will of God but men's hearts are perverse and they walk without the love of God and seek to have their own way. And so it shall be worse than you have seen." And I said, "Oh Lord! Oh Lord! Is there a remedy? Is there a remedy? What shall the answer be?" And He said, "Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceived and being deceived." And then I said, "Oh, Lord! Do we have nothing to look forward to in the future except the darkness, the blackness, war, destruction and evil?" And He said, "Son of man, forget not your text for you look at the things not seen (the title of his message was, Looking At Things Unseen)." And so then I looked into the spirit realm and I saw falling upon that mountain a ball of fire from heaven. The closer to the Earth, the bigger it got, and then when it came to the Earth it divided into small balls or sparks of fire, and it fell upon men. And I saw an army of men rise up, and it seemed as though their hands were fire. And there sat upon their heads a tongue of fire. (When I first saw it, it seemed like their whole heads were on fire but it was tongues of fire leaping.) And I said, "What meaneth this?" And He said, "Before the worst shall come and the day of darkness encompasses there will be those who shall go and who shall carry the fullness of My truth and the fire, not only to the states of this nation but to many other places. For there is a work that must be done, first spiritually, before the Lord shall come. "Now prepare ye your hearts, for the time is at hand and the beginning is now; and ye shall see and ye shall know for the hand of the Lord is upon you and many of you shall be used in these last days and the work shall progress." Hallelujah to Jesus! Hallelujah to Jesus! And I said to Him, "Oh Lord! May I have a small place to work?" And He said, "I shall cause thy tent to be enlarged. Yea, thou shalt have an enlarged ministry and thou shalt minister to many where you ministered to a few. Therefore, go ye back to the Earth and be thou faithful and give forth that which I tell you to give for you have been reluctant in days gone by to tell it. Now tell it boldly and speak it true for now is the day that it shall be so." Oh hallelujah! Oh hallelujah! Praise God! Praise God! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! For the word of the Lord came unto me saying, "The prophetic vision shall be restored unto the church, for even in the days of old under the old covenant the prophet would see by vision and prophesy, and so the prophetic vision shall be restored unto the church. And this is the time, and this is the hour, and this is the place." Praise God! Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus! Praise God, praise God! When I spoke up I saw this very night. I saw the vision. I was lifted up to that place. Oh men and women, thank God for His goodness to man.
