The very first one which was over 25 years ago has now come to pass. It was given by Evangelist Sandy Brown back in the late eighties or early nineties. She said God wanted his people to prepare for an economic downturn coming in America, and told them to get out of debt, stay out of debt and pay off their mortgages. With the housing market problems, foreclosures, loss of savings in 401Ks and other retirement vehicles, many middle class Americans who never saw themselves as poor, have lost their jobs, their worldly fortunes and wealth. Many Christians who did not heed the warnings have lost their homes.
The other prophecies are just pending prophecies given by reputable prophets and in some cases more than one of the prophets are saying the same thing.
A frightening and very dramatic 25 year old propecy (by a Black New York Bishop whose name escapes me at the moment) speaks of the falling value of the American dollar. The prophet saw dollars blowing in the streets like worthless paper and many, many men who had lost all their wealth were jumping out of windows committing suicide. We are being warned by economist and certainly by sellers of gold and silver that the American dollar is loosing value daily as the government continues to introduce newly printed dollars into the economy with no gold or silver backing them. We will continue to see a devaluation of the American dollar as this continues and the American debt or deficit continues to grow.
Perhaps, if Christians acted on this at least 20 years ago by investing in gold and silver they would have some wealth stored up. But God did not say this is what Christians needed to do. In fact, there was nothing suggested when the prophesy was given. However, the reason for the complete downfall of America was a result of the powerful effects of the spirit of greed on the economy. We can see by the politics in America that greed is a powerful opressor of the elderly, the sick, the disenfranchised and the poor. Politically the wealthy seek to preserve their own wealth when given the opportunity to help the less fortunate. We are reminded of what the Lord said to the wealthy man who wanted to come into the Kingdom of God. The man was told to give away all of his possessions, because it was harder for a wealthy man to come into the Kingdom of God than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. The man sadly turned away because he could not give up the wealth. The god of mammon (money) is a powerful spirit and demands to be worshiped. We always have to choose between God and mammon, and to choose God we must be willing to give up what we have when God demands.
Another old prophecy for America that has been seen by several reputable prophets, including Paul Cain, is an earthquake down the middle of the United States following the path of the Ohio River and the Mississippi River that could conceivably split America from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. An earthquake under the great Mississippi alone would cause great devastation. Geologist and scientist are predicting this great earth quake at the Madrias or New Madrid fault. This first earthquake on this fault happened in 1811-1812 but the affected areas were not densely populated as now. People who live on that fault line are constantly reporting movement and shakes in the earth that damage roadways and building, as they await the great destruction of the actual earthquake that rumbles and threatens beneath the surface.
There are several prophecies in a booklet called, "The Perfect Storm," by Christian Prophet, John Paul Jackson. One in particular concerns our President, Barak Obama. John Paul speaks of a plot revealed to him by God that some Muslims have devised to bring a race riot to America that will bring great devastation. These Muslims will attempt an assassination of the President. Many prophets have seen this assassination attempt, but all agree God will prevent it from being successful. The President will not be killed. However, the plot devised by these Muslims will make it appear that the assassination attempt is racially motivated, White against Blacks, which will enrage the Black community and will orchestrate a phenomenal retaliation. Gangs will break into homes of affluent White people all over America, plundering and comitting mass murders.

Lastly, I am reminded of something Ruth Graham, the late wife of Billy Graham, who said, "If God doesn't punish America for its sins, He will have to raise up Sodom and Gomorrah and apologize." The sins for which Sodom was destroyed was not just for the degrading of their society through perverse sexual sin, from which the word Sodomy comes, the historial Jewish documents and the Bible illustrates that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of their treatment of the poor.
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodom_and_Gomorrah The Talmud and the book of Jasher also recount two incidents of a young girl (one involved Lot's daughter Paltith) who gave some bread to a poor man who had entered the city. When the townspeople discovered their acts of kindness, they burned Paltith and smeared the other girl's body with honey and hung her from the city wall until she was eaten by bees. (Sanhedrin 109a.) It is this gruesome event, and her scream in particular, the Talmud concludes, that are alluded to in the verse that heralds the city’s destruction: "So[8] said, 'Because the outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah has become great, and because their sin has been very grave, I will descend and see...'"[Gen 18:20-21]
From the Old Testament God speaks:
"Now this was the sin of Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen." —Ezekiel 16:49-50
There are a lot of hard things predicted for America and the World, however, the Christian's refuge is in God. Our provision and protection is in the Secret Place with Him. Meditate on Psalms 91 and Isaiah 60 for peace and understanding of our place of refuge and God's plan for His people during these dark times coming.
