COPY of pre-blog email (as in ‘About’).:
Dear Friends,
For those with whom my email about this weekend’s proposed 3rd Intifada struck a chord, here’s the promised background. To my mind there are several reasons which, in sum, strongly indicate the issue’s import.
We’d watched Messianic Rabbi ‘C’ give the Easter Sunday message at Church of His Presence in Mobile. Amongst much he gave an insight into the wider fulfilment of Jeremiah 31.31-37 ‘new covenant’ by indicating it may include all Abraham’s seed, as hinted at in Genesis chapters 16 & 22.
Whilst in Gilgal, Israel, a herd of sheep descended a hill towards him and he heard the Lord say, “I am calling My sheep from the nations” and that ‘C’ would be ‘presented’ with what he was to do. Upon returning to the States he got an email about multitudes on social networks responding to calls for a 3rd Intifada on Israel’s 63rd birthday! The Lord instructed, “I want you to battle in love – in the opposite spirit – not hate”. So a media friend helped to launch the video you may have seen (via the link below).
In view of what the Lord has been pointing me towards, I was especially surprised by Rabbi’s message because:
1. He COVERED my prayers about the ‘fall of Islam’ requiring sovereign interventions of the Lord. When asking the Lord why he’s to that video, he claims the Lord said, “Israel and the Middle-East need to see the miracle-working of God like never before” (Like in 1967 when they were protected from invasion?) “A bigger one now and they shall get it – it is coming (and) the Church needs to see their prayers being answered, to see this as a testimony.”
2. He CONFIRMED the meditations I’d been led into on retreat on Good Friday at Acorn, here in Bordon. There, I found myself focussing upon the POST-resurrection Emmaus road conversation, particularly “It is the third day since…” (Luke 24.21) and realised the present times are the 3rd day (ie. 3rd millennium, where 1000 years = 1 day; per 2 Peter 3.8). This rabbi said, “…it’s very important that you know spiritually what time it is. This is so critical – because God is moving quickly – we’re moving into the ‘third day’…”
3. He CONTINUED with that Lucan narrative into the appearances of Jesus, thereby giving a strong scriptural validation of the effects of the Bay of the Holy Spirit Revival.
In another email I’d like to share more details of another aspect of this ‘Resurrection Sunday’ message upon revival in the UK – it will probably surprise you, as it did us!
So I hope you can understand the urgency of this messianic rabbi’s call to pray for the people of the whole region tomorrow through to Saturday. Perhaps you may be able to join in as and when you can?
If required, I have a transcript of the pertinent part of the message.
Trusting the Lord will move into the whole situation…

Dear Friends,
Please would you consider the following 2 minute video request for prayers for a potentially dangerous Middle Eastern situation? If it finds a witness in your spirit, hit ‘Like’ and circulate/tell your friends.

For regular readers I’ll shortly follow up with the background to this and how it connects into my February email about a 1992 vision of the change in Islam, as well as prayer-reconciliation for revival here – what ‘epic’ times we’re in!
Bless you
