Perry Stone recently shared a remarkable family story tracing back to the 1970s in Arlington, Virginia, where his father pastored. According to Stone, a high-level CIA agent named Bill Hall approached his father for prayer while hospitalized at Walter Reed. Hall, who would become a devoted member of the church, shared insights and warnings that would later prove prophetic.

One of the most striking revelations came in 1973 regarding the Middle East. Hall warned that individuals with radical ideologies were entering the United States under student visas or other means, with intentions that opposed American values. As Stone recalls, Hall told his father:
“We are allowing some very, very dangerous people with dangerous ideologies to enter our country… They are radicalized individuals. You will see cities in the future in the United States where this particular group… will take over the mayors, the citizenship, the police department, the city council, the school board of entire cities.”
Hall also foresaw threats that would later manifest in events like 9/11:
“We’re concerned of these particular groups of individuals, radicals, hijacking airplanes and flying them into buildings.”
Perry Stone emphasizes that these warnings, combined with the rise of spiritual opposition and anti-Christ ideologies, point to the times we live in today. He notes:
“When we look at what the spirit of antichrist is… it is the spirit that denies that Jesus is the Son of God.”
Stone ties these insights to biblical prophecy, particularly the removal of the restrainer mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2, highlighting the need for vigilance in prayer and intercession during the last days.

The warning Bill Hall shared with Perry Stone back in 1973 isn’t just history—it’s a wake-up call for our generation. What he predicted decades ago is happening right before our eyes: radical ideologies taking root, spiritual deception spreading and cities falling under influence that opposes God’s truth. As believers, we cannot be passive. We must pray, stand firm in God’s Word and walk in discernment, knowing that these last days were foretold for a purpose.
