From Perry Stone video "The 7th Kingdom" [emphasis mine]

"Years ago, when I was a teenage preacher, I believe I was about 18 years of age, but I remember where this happened. I remember I was in Richmond, Virginia, and I remember that I was evangelizing, traveling the United States and I was at the Meadowwood Church of God in Richmond, Virginia. I remember this happened on a, on a Wednesday night, and I'm talking about after the church service took place that night.

And I was much in prayer. This was a time in my earlier ministry when I spent a lot of time in fasting and a lot of time praying and seeking God. And I went to bed that night and I had been reading the scripture and I said 'Lord, I want you to visit me tonight; I want to you to show me something. I want to hear from you.'

And, uh, in the middle of the night while in the deepest part of my, of my sleep, I remember I had a very spiritual dream. This was probably the first spiritual dream that I ever had, and I knew it was from the Lord because I was able to interpret it by the Bible.

In this dream, I was walking down a very, very narrow path, a very road. I had my Bible in my hand, and I knew that that road, I had a little distance to go, but I knew the road ended and at the end of the road I saw, uh, what looked like a real pretty cabin with gold light coming out of it. I noticed that the sky above me north, south, east and west, dark clouds were moving in. Now, not like a storm cloud, like you see a cloud today, but just darkness. It was like a cloud of darkness was coming, and it was starting to envelope and take over the light that caused me to see, and I knew that I had to make it from where I was into that house and there would be safety from the darkness when I got in that house.

The part that really got to me was I began hearing something, and I looked over to the right side, and I saw a horse. And this horse was galloping out, and there were four horses total, but this horse was galloping out without a rider, and I looked, and he was galloping out on a field. Now this field had been like a wheat field that had been harvested. And I'll show you the artist's drawing in a minute, the artist has this on a hill, but really the hill was flat but the only way he could draw it was make it a hill. It was a flat field, a flat field, not a hill but a flat field that I saw, and, it had been a wheat field. And the main harvest was over; there was still some little gleanings in the corner, and some people were trying to get those gleanings before it got dark. I saw that.

Now, after I saw the field, I noticed the horse got closer, and this horse was twice the size of a normal horse, and there was an emblem on the horse's left hip. The horse jumped up in the air and began to paw like horse's do, uh and uh, I noticed the mark, emblem, on the horse's hip. And I said 'Oh my goodness, what's happening?' And I started walking toward this house, and I finally got to the end of my journey.

And when I got to the end of my journey and I went inside the house, I asked a man who was there, here's what this man was doing: this house was lit up with the most beautiful, uh, uh, lamps that had golden oil in them. There was one on this table, one on a table there, and it was a very simple house. Most everything in there was made out of wood, nothing fancy. And the man had a big trunk that he was packing, and I looked around and I saw this golden looking light that was lighting up this house, and the outside was dark. I said, 'Sir, what are you doing, what is this about? I don't understand.' He said, 'Son', he called me son, he said, 'Son, did you know that darkness is about to cover the entire earth, did you know the harvest is about over, and did you know that the horses are about ready to get their riders? And I'm packing up, getting ready to go home.'

And I woke up out of that dream. And when I woke up out of that dream, I said 'Oh God, what does this mean?' So I went through the symbolism: I went through the narrow road, uh huh, the Bible says that straight is the way and narrow is the way that leads to life. I thought about the house and I thought about that scripture that says If the goodman of the house, that means the owner of the house, had known at what hour the Lord would have come, he would have never suffered his house to be broken. And I said, 'that's what that was, that represented the goodman of the house.'

I thought about the oil lamps, and I remembered reading where it talked about the ten virgins, five had oil and five did not. The oil was gold in color, and I knew from the Old Testament a scripture I read in Zechariah, that when those two witnesses come, they produce golden oil, and golden oil represents the anointing of the Holy Spirit. I began to realize the field represented the world, it represented the harvest, the straight and narrow road. But I didn't understand that about four horses.

And then I was reading the book of Revelation, and I discovered four horses of the apocalypse; four horses that come on the scene at the beginning of the tribulation. But it was the emblem on the hip or the thigh of that one horse that really got to me. And I wrote it down, I drew it out, and something told me if you ever see this again, you'll know it'll be a sign to you that it's the end of days.

The artist's rendition, and I want to show you this if I may, the artist's rendition of this vision that I had walking on the straight and narrow street, carrying my Bible which is the Word of God, because I was preaching the Word of God and still am to this day. At the end of the road was the house representing the goodman and the oil and the light. Here are the horses getting ready to ride, of course, in the actual dream, this was a straight, flat field.

Here's the horse that was white in color . . . now I want you to hear what I said . . . was white in color, and there was the emblem I saw on the hip of that horse. I never saw that emblem, I never knew what that emblem was. It bothered me for about a year or two because I said 'Lord, what does this mean?'

Now here's what I want to share with you: I want to share with you that my wife and I were at home and had family members in: her sister, my brother-in-law came, and we were having a wonderful time at our house in Cleveland, and it was new year's, in fact the new year had just kicked in. It was New Year's morning, January the first, 1999.

All of the sudden on the news, the reporter showed a picture of the symbol or the emblem for the new European currency. And I'm going to show you a picture of that right now: it looks like an "E" with two lines through it. When I saw that picture, it was taken by a reporter who was above a crowd of people, and they were holding up cards that represented that emblem. Now the way it sits, it sits like a "E", but the way it was that day, it was turned upside down and it looked like a "U" with two lines through it.

When I saw that, I came to my feet, slapped the coffee table and started yelling, 'That's it, oh my God that's it.' My wife said, 'What's the matter with him?' My brother-in-law said 'What is it?' I said, "Look, do you see that?' and then it went off the air. They said, 'What was it?' And I drew it out and I was actually shaking and trembling. And I said, 'I have been waiting since I was 18 years old to see that emblem.' They said, 'What do you mean?' And I re-, I told them about the dream, this dream that God gave me when I was 18. For probably four or five years every time I preached on the coming of the Lord I would tell people about that dream. I would share with them the revelation that God gave me that day in that dream.

And I remember thinking it had been years since I had actually told that dream again, and I remember thinking to myself, you know, this is something God has allowed me to see, the emblem that I saw on that white horse. Now when I saw the emblem that day and realized it was the same emblem on the horse that I saw in that dream, I began to say to myself, 'Now wait a minute; there's something here relating to endtime Biblical prophecy.' That currency which is coming in Europe, what does it represent?

And I began to realize something. I began to realize that most prophecy ministers, including myself, when we would talk about the antichrist, we always tried to make the antichrist the white horse rider in Revelation chapter 6. But then the beast doesn't show up till Revelation 13, which is the middle of the tribulation period. And in the book of Daniel, the antichrist only rules for time, times and dividing of time, or 42 months. Is it possible, that the white horse rider is none other than a representation of the European community, which is the formation of the beginning of this 7^th empire?

Is it possible that since the antichrist is the beast of Revelation 13, and he only rules for 42 months forming an 8^th kingdom, and the Bible teaches in Revelation that a 7^th empire must come and it must rule for a short time which more than likely is about 42 months. Why do we say that? Because the tribulation's 7 years long, and it's divided in two parts, 42 months and 42 months. We know, as I want to keep emphasizing this, that the antichrist forms number 8 for 42 months. We know that's the Islamic side. But then there is another side, there is a Roman side, there is a side that has to form."

 Again, this vision was given to Perry Stone when he was 18 years old, and he asked for God to visit him and show him something. It's important to note that Perry was in a season of prayer and fasting, and seeking the Lord before he received this amazing dream. That is a good lesson for all of us who want to be used of the Lord.

Noting the highlighted text above, I'd like to point out some things about this vision. Some of the symbolism of this dream is pretty straight forward:

Let's not miss the three-fold message that the man in the house gave to Perry:

1. Did you know that darkness is about to cover the entire earth?
2. Did you know the harvest is about over?
3. Did you know that the horses are about ready to get their riders?

If this vision was given in 1977, how much more ready for the end should be we on January 12, 2003?! The end is near, according to this God-given dream. The harvest of souls on the earth is just about over, a dark period prophesied over and over by the Old Testament prophets is coming, and the devastating riders of the horses are about to appear. The riders of these horses are none other than powerful evil spirits, according to Zechariah:

Here is a picture of the emblem that Perry saw emblazoned on the left hip of the white horse:

This currency was introduced on January 1, 1999. Recall that in the dream, Perry felt as if when this emblem was seen, it would mean we were just before the end of the age of grace. What I find even more spectacular, though, was that the emblem was on a galloping, extra large white horse:

Reading Revelation 6:1-2, we see that this is not the Antichrist, as has been taught in the past, because that man is not revealed until the middle of the tribulation in Revelation chapter 13. This white horse and its rider comes with a bow without arrows to conquer, implying it conquers by bringing peace to the earth:

It is very possible that by Perry seeing the euro on the white horse, it was a sign that the introduction of the euro and the European Union will be a sign that the riders of the horses are just about to appear.

We in the gold community around the world need to keep informed on the fluid and changing nature of what was before only discussion and now seems to be taking a more solid form with definitive dates for introduction, latest. I would appreciate any member seeing accepted media coverage or official government publication on the subject of new Islamic currencies to send, fax or email the data to me for review.

A movement is clearly taking on an increasingly more solid, defined, knowable and viable form wherein the richest nations outside of the Western Hemisphere are tiring of the "US Dollar Reserve Standard" now in place and the high handed dominance of the IMF & World Bank over their and their client nation’s economies. At the same time, the potential of the Euro is being realized as a semi-Euro/Gold trade settlement system.

Since all markets are discounting mechanisms that look into the future in order to determine present prices, we must be informed of these developments no matter what our political preferences are. To ignore these developments would be to deny significant realities that are today forming our market prices for Gold and the US dollar.
