From Birger Claesson's book:

Judgment over Sweden

I usually pray to God between four in the morning and six o'clock. Then I go to rest for a while again and it has become a habit. I wake up without further ado in the mornings and just when I had lain awake for a while at four o'clock on the twelfth of December (1950) and was ready to get up, I saw a large, white figure. When I saw it coming towards me, I was terrified and trembled all over. I was fully awake. But then I heard him say:

— Fear not! You are highly favored in the midst of your spiritual poverty. And I want to show you what will happen to the people of the North in the last days of this dispensation of grace.

Then I saw and heard the following:

First I saw that foreign armies came and attacked Umeå. And all of Umeå was leveled to the ground. Where they came from, I cannot say.

Then I saw foreign armies attack Östersund. It was an attack from the air, which leveled almost all of Östersund to the ground. It looked as if the enemy wanted Östersund mostly to have a headquarters there. But the Swedish army held the fortress, so that they could not take the city, but they destroyed it very badly.

Then I saw an attack from the sea, in which Härnösand was attacked, but from an island called Hemsö, where the Swedish coastal artillery guard had gathered quite large military forces, the enemy army that came was fired upon. They also held the fortress there with the help of Swedish aircraft. But between Örnsköldsvik and Härnösand I saw masses of soldiers who were thrown out of airplanes and they fell like parasols in large masses, in the hundreds, yes, it almost looked as if there were thousands. And they ended up in a place between Örnsköldsvik and Härnösand and I heard the voice shout: — That place is called Veda, from where they attacked the Swedes in Härnösand and occupied the entire city. It was a surprise attack, an attack that the Swedes had not expected, in the back, while they were trying to hold the fortress out to sea.

Then I saw an attack that took place at the same time as the attack on Umeå. It was an attack on Gothenburg and that attack was so terrible that in a few seconds — of course only in vision, it is clear that it takes longer when it happens — the whole of Gothenburg was leveled to the ground. The Swedish military could not hold out in the outer guarding of the archipelago and was forced to give way. The foreign military took the Swedish fortifications, where they set up their weapons and then used them to shell Gothenburg. The Swedish ground troops and coastal artillery gave way to Kungälv. There they held fast and received reinforcements from some other direction and kept the enemy away from there the whole time.

Then I saw that at the same time as this attack there was also an attack on Malmö. But Malmö was taken and it looked as if not a house had fallen. It was also proclaimed a city of refuge and all the inhabitants who stayed in the city were to be treated loyally. But at the same time as this was happening, I saw a large, wide line of small boats, probably invasion boats, in five rows one after the other, coming on a distance that I cannot quite calculate. The invasion of the foreign troops took place between Trelleborg and Ystad.

At the same time as the enemy troops landed between Trelleborg and Ystad, the enemy troops kept the Swedish army tied up by an attack on Falsterbo, which completely disappeared. Then the troops disappeared. I do not know what roads they took, but they appeared again and by then the Swedish army had had to give way to Hässleholm. But there the Swedes put up a terrible resistance and some of the enemy troops fell.

I also saw two big men, who I understood were generals or something like that - they wore such uniforms. So they were foreign generals and one of them said in very bad Swedish: - If I had known that the Swedes had bitten off so terribly, I would have carried out the invasion in a different way. They would probably have lost a lot of people. The enemy was no longer coming in that direction.

Then at the same time as these attacks I saw an attack on Stockholm. It was a foreign fleet that attacked. It thought it would enter through Vaxholm and there it met a terrible resistance from the Swedish fleet and from the Swedish coastal artillery, which fired on the enemy from land, probably from Oscar Fredriksborg. They shot down part of this fleet and I heard the voice call out: - It happened in Oxdjupet. The ships that retreated were also shot down and there was not an enemy ship left. And as a sign of where the actual fighting was, I saw a small lighthouse, which I don't know myself, but it said: "The Bread Piece". Right next to that lighthouse, the great defeat of the enemy took place.

This small lighthouse is probably an insignificant lighthouse. You never hear about it and few people probably know that it exists. I had no idea of ​​its existence, but the other day Pastor Alvar Blomgren in Örebro and I went up to the Örebro library to find out if this lighthouse existed. We got some books and after we had talked about what we wanted to find out, we got an atlas. As soon as we opened it, Brother Blomgren immediately saw the "Broken Piece". We also got to see more closely where the lighthouse was located.

And this, the voice of the Lord told me, would be proof that it would happen, as I had seen.

The most terrible thing of all was that many hundreds of airplanes from the foreign army launched an attack from the air, at the same time as the attack from the sea and therefore the city of Stockholm suffered great losses from the shelling from above. The city was not taken by the enemy armies but it was colossally battered and a large part of the civilian population, who had refused to evacuate or had not had time to do so, was completely destroyed in the ruins.

Then I also saw an attack from the sea against Västervik and it came so suddenly that the foreign armies landed there, but not until Västervik was practically leveled with the ground. Land troops were also thrown in there, marching inland. I did not see them again until I saw them again near Söderköping. And then I heard a voice shout: — March towards Norrköping!

When the armies disappeared, which were dropped ashore in Västervik and during the pause there, before I saw them in Söderköping, I had a vision of how the civilian population was in the various cities in our country. I saw how the enemy soldiers entered the houses and pulled out our women, while the women screamed hysterically and called for help. I also saw that people were gathered on the street corners, including older civilian Swedish men, but they could do nothing, although they saw how the women were dragged away with cries for help. The soldiers laughed at them and said in broken Swedish: — No one will help you. Not even God in heaven.

Then I saw Sundsvall and its inhabitants being terribly treated by the enemy armies. It was an attack from the sea, and while the Swedes were occupied with this attack, troops were dropped from the air. The ground troops that had been dropped between Örnsköldsvik and Härnösand had marched through Härnösand and the rest of them joined the enemy armies in Sundsvall as reinforcements.

So those were the five places that in my vision received a joint attack at the same time. They were Umeå, Gothenburg, Malmö, Stockholm and Västervik.

Then I saw the city of Nyköping flooded by foreign armies and these marched in three directions and one direction I saw was towards Katrineholm. Then I saw the attack from the air. The white figure pulled away, and stood behind me and I got to see the attacks, as they really happen. And I heard the voice shout: Kumla, and then Kumla was leveled to the ground with a terrible roar. There were lots of airplanes coming. There were only three houses left in Kumla towards Stenehållet. By then Kvarntorp had also already been destroyed and the stretch between Kvarntorp and Kumla. I saw Hallsberg in a dim way, but it looked as if Hallsberg had been very badly damaged, too.

Then I heard the voice shout: Örebro. Then I got to see the city of Örebro as one big pile of ruins, gravel pile on gravel pile, stone pile on stone pile. More than half the city was destroyed, but it looked as if part of the city would remain towards Lindesberg and Arboga.

Then I heard the voice shout again: Fagersta. And then there was the same roar there. It was a terrible attack from the air and I saw the whole of Fagersta levelled to the ground. Not even the Västanfors railway station, now Fagersta Central, was left. And the bridge that crosses the Västanforsån was being repaired by the enemy troops.

Then I heard the voice again: Avesta. And Avesta was levelled to the ground. Then the same voice again: Sandviken. And there was nothing left of Sandviken either. I saw Gävle in a very, very dim way. I cannot say whether the city was devastated, but I have a feeling that I saw some ruins there too.

Then I heard the voice again and now it shouted: Bofors. There was a violent attack from the air. But one enemy aircraft after another fell down and the Bofors escaped the battle almost unscathed. The entire factory area was unscathed. There were a few houses that were damaged, but not because of the attacks but because of the downings, because some of the machines exploded and took the surroundings with them. Karlskoga looked quite untouched. It probably came out of the battle without any damage whatsoever.

Then I heard the voice again call out: Borlänge. Then Borlänge and all its suburbs were completely leveled to the ground. After that it became pitch black, it became completely black over the whole country and immediately I heard the voice call out: — Darkness falls over the whole world.

Then I heard a great cry of lamentation among the people. Then I saw a streak of light above all the darkness and from the darkness I saw a great crowd of white-clad figures being snatched up towards the streak of light. From there I heard a wonderful song about the Lamb, who has bought us freedom for God with his blood.
