1966 Prophecy By Ezra Taft Benson

This was sent to me by a friend from Oregon.

1966 Prophecy...

Interesting that this article should surface at this time of our history.
The Lord's plan is going to win regardless. Even though there will be some
slight detours along the way, God and Christ and Their Kingdom will overcome
the World. Ouote from Thomas S. Monson:
"Your Future is as bright as your faith in Jesus Christ." (Currently serving
as President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)

In an address given on February 28, 1966 and recorded in his book, "An Enemy
Hath Done This," on pages 106-107, Ezra Taft Benson spoke about the buildup
of communism and socialism in the future of the U.S.A.; what damages these
doctrines would bring, and what it would take for Americans to willingly
accept these evil doctrines.

In his published book, he stated:

"There would be a further huge expansion of government and of its control
over our economy, education, medical services, and every detail of our
family and individual lives... During such a period, it is reasonable to
expect -- unless sufficient brakes are put on the present stampede to the
left, we will get exactly what the communist-socialist coalition is
planning -- the nationalization of insurance, transportation,
communications, utilities, banks, farms, housing , hospitals, and schools.

To take over our schools, the educational system will first have been
federalized and then prostituted entirely to serving the propaganda needs of
the state planners with absolutely no regard for truth or scholarship or
tradition." (italics added)


Seems pretty prophetic to me. Let's see:

1. Expansion of government -- check
2. Control over economy -- check
3. Control over medical services -- check
4. Nationalization of insurance -- check
5. Control over transportation -- partially checked
6. Control over communications -- Fairness Doctrine ---being debated now
7. Control over utilities -- no new coal or nuclear power plants -- check
8. Control over banks -- Citigroup, JP Morgan, etc. -- check
9. Housing -- Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac -- check
10. Hospitals -- check
11. Schools -- see National Education Agency -- check

Ezra Taft Benson served as Secretary of Agriculture in the Eisenhower
cabinet. He later was President and Prophet of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
