There appears to be no official record that Smith Wigglesworth ever gave this prophecy, but I have no reason to doubt it due to how it can be interpreted. The key: Before 2012, many could say the prophecy had failed based on this alone, but you need to be careful. It is not saying before the Year 2012, it is saying before 2012. The prophecy is about the church, biblical themes like Ps 127:1, and in a sense, the gates of hell will not prevail. There are multiple angles of teaching how such a prophecy might relate to the scriptures. Here is the prophecy, and after it, there is an interpretation of what “Before 2012” could mean.

‘PROPHECY FROM FLORIDA U.S.A. ABOUT IMPENDING REVIVAL IN AUSTRALIA’
A great revival is coming upon the nation of Australia! The end time prophecy of Smith Wigglesworth that the last great revival will begin in Australia before the Lord returns is about to be fulfilled!
Before 2012 there shall begin in the nation of Australia a mighty end time revival! It shall spread to the ends of the earth from Australia and continue until the Lord returns, demonstrating mighty signs and wonders in the power of the Spirit!
But this revival shall not be as many expect, for it shall carry a message many will oppose! It will declare war on religion and tear down the works of those who attempt to build the kingdom of God by their own design and power!
Such revival shall not cease as past revivals have but shall continue upon the ministry of one man without end! This man shall raise up many to take revival to the ends of the earth and shall deliver a message that shall divide the wheat from the tares! The ministry bringing this revival shall not come through the mainline denominational charismatic or mainline denominational Pentecostal churches, but through the ministry of a man God has chosen. This man is not man’s choice but God’s choice! He is Australian. He is a man who walks with God! And is a man not recognised by men or any religious body or organisation. Oh how he shall be an offence to those bound by religious power!
He shall be greatly opposed, maligned, slandered and accused by ministers and brethren alike! All Australia shall hear of him, yet, he shall not be stopped, for the power that moves him will not be stopped or extinguished!
Many shall be saved, restored, healed and delivered! Many shall be set free from dead religion and the works of men! Many shall be transformed and set free to walk holy before the Lord Jesus! Therefore prepare yourself Australia, for the hand of God is coming upon you to divide the true from the false, the light from the dark and the wheat from the tares! Prepare yourself Australia, for the glory of the Lord cometh and no man can stop it! – neither Satan nor princes, or powers, rulers or spiritual hosts in high places! Glory be to the king of kings! Glory be to God forevermore!
The Key: Before 2012 is critical for the prophecy. Everything is pivoting off these two words and the themes that weave through what the prophecy is saying.
Before Zeruabbabel is a famous saying in Christian circles. Zechariah 4:7: What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!
Mighty Mountain – What are you, mighty mountain, before Zeruabbabel? 2012 is changed to Zeruabbabel. Before 2012 becomes Before Zeruabbabel. So the prophecy through interpretations becomes and starts with Before Zeruabbabel, there shall begin in the nation of Australia a mighty end time revival!
How does 2012 equal a mighty mountain? It is in its position or location.
Mount Hermon and the year 2012
Issue #291 October 2012 God’s Kingdom Ministries – Foundation Of Intercession
33.33 degrees represents 2012.9 nautical miles. Hence, Mount Hermon is located 2012 nautical miles from the equator and 2012 nautical miles from the prime meridian. The occultists thus believe that the end of 2012 will culminate their long quest for power since being destroyed first by the flood and later by the Israelites.

Mount Hermon, particularly the area of Caesarea Philippi at its base, was considered the “Gates of Hell” (or Gates of Hades) in ancient times due to intense pagan worship of Baal and later Pan.,
The Gate: Granted, interpretations can be tricky and a personal thing. For many, when Kim Clement a famous American prophet, says I pray they would process the gate of the enemies at 4:30 mins. Followed by we have a servant of the Lord, originally from Scottish, Australia, yet two other countries at 4:47 mins in the video. What do you think he is getting at?
