'Voice of Revival' 1963 v05 n05 p04&05

This is largely a rehash of a claim they made in 1959 and has been dealt with here.


Verdict: STILL CRAP!

Sorry Revivalists, but like all the other prophetic claims on this site, this never happened!


Verdict: FAIL!

The Revival Centres were forever claiming the bible predicted the Soviet invasion of the Anglo-Saxon nations (see here for more) but of course this never happened and with the demise of the Soviet Union never will. 

Longfield here also claimed that Lybia, Persia and Ethipoia would become allied with Soviet Russia. History shows this to be a false claim as Ethiopia was the only one of these nations that allied itself with the Soviets.

As for the Russians coming right to our (Australia's) shores well, they didn't even make it to the UK let alone to Australia (see here).

Finally, there were many fruitful and lasting pacts and agreements made between the Soviets and Western nations, so the claim that all were 'doomed to failure' is pure drivel.

Verdict: FAIL!

Of this fictitious story, Creationists Tim LaHaye and John Morris wrote, 
'Later testimony revealed that that account -- even the name Roskovitsky -- was 95% fiction, but other Russian soldiers have told of hearing of an expedition mounted in 1917 to discover Noah's Ark, based on something in a lake spotted from the air.' (source)
Verdict: CRAP!

The UK and Commonwealth Nations are today less Christian than ever and yet the Soviets never attacked the 'Anglo-Saxon-Celtic nations'. In fact, due to immigration, there are a plethora of 'gentile' religions now practised in these countries. So much for national repentance repelling the Soviet advance. Of course the Soviet Union also no longer exists.


Verdict: FAIL!

In this article, Lloyd Longfield tries to persuade his readers that the Bible 'wonderfully' identifies Russia as the hammer and sickle (as this was the Communist symbol on the Soviet flag). The fact that he needed to merge two completely unrelated verses from totally different books of the Bible to make this claim didn't seem to deter Longfield at all. 

Longfield's prediction of the eventual destruction of the Soviet Union is simply false. While the Soviets certainly lost control over Russia, the counter revolution was mostly peaceful and Russia was anything but destroyed. In fact, Russia is still one of the most powerful nations in the world today. Even if Russia were destroyed at some stage in the future, it no longer identifies with the hammer (or sickle) thus making the verse in Jeremiah irrelevant.

Longfield also claimed that god had brought the Soviets down on these nations 'as chastisement' for rejecting him. Of course we can now look at Longfield's claims with scorn as the former Eastern Bloc nations are just as irreligious as they once were and yet are now free Democratic nations. In fact, Poland's resistance against Communism was influenced heavily by Pope John Paul II (himself Polish) and the Catholic Church, and any good Revivalist will tell you that they believe the Catholic Church is anything but an instrument of god.

Verdict: FAIL!
