Many notice acceleration in eschatological events

Posted on Monday, 30 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

Not many people know this, introduced the first readers of this blog to the excitement of eschatology. Here’s what I wrote in November 2011:

‘As you may have gathered from my Welcome, I’m into eschatology – the theological study of the destiny and judgement of nations and all people, even angels! You may know it as ‘The Last Days’ or, more popularly, as ‘End-times’. The origin of this term is in the ancient Hebrew Torah’s description: Acharit Hayamin, ie. ‘Last of the Years’.

‘Let me take you for a very brief visit into one of my favourite classes where Dr Chuck Missler asks his students, ‘”Why Eschatology?‘

“It is very practical”, he answers himself and explains:

“Apparently, we’re being plunged into a period of time about which the Holy Bible says more than any other period – including the time when Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee!

“Now that’s a preposterous statement – and I challenge you to challenge my statement! To do so you need to do two things:

1 Find out what the Bible itself says about this and – this is a bit harder,

2 Find out what’s really going on – but you won’t get that on the ten o’clock news!

“Fortunately, thanks to the internet, the alternative press and to talk-radio you can do some homework and find out what really is going on. The more you do those two things the more you’ll understand why many scholars are extremely excited about the horizon we’re moving into – because it all deals with the return of Christ to rule earth.

“It really is remarkable how controversial this topic is, but there are:

over 1800 references in the Old Testament to this event – 17 Old Testament books give prominence to the event.

over 300 references in the New Testament – 216 chapters in 23 of its 27 books give prominence to this primary issue: the return of Jesus to rule on earth.

“You may not believe what the Bible says, but what’s utterly astonishing is that so very many claim to believe in Jesus yet have no grasp of the idea Christ is to literally return and rule!”

‘I respect Chuck for frequently stressing that we shouldn’t take what he says as ‘Gospel’ but always do a ‘Berean check’ per Acts 17:11; that is, to search the scriptures to find out whether or not his ideas line up with them. Also, I admire his public apology for admitting that, having long taught about an anticipated Middle Eastern war from a certain scriptural stance, he’s gained a better understanding from other passages. So Chuck explained why he’d changed his mind. For more information visit his website at Koinonia House.

Update:

In a later repeat of this post I noted these few examples from many developments:

Events indicate the Bible’s relevance for today (30 Aug 2013)
World leader tells other leaders Bible prophecies are being fulfilled… (8 Oct 2013)
Billy Graham: “It’s time to take the news…and Bible…and watch (22 Oct 2013)
Update on the ‘Ezekiel 38 Alliance’ (21 Nov 2013)

Around the date the second anniversary in 2013 a few events took place in connection with Iran about which I posted a brief trilogy, beginning with A weird mix-up resurrects this blog’s ‘Welcome‘.

Yet another two years pass and we see a peculiar kind of repetition that I will write about shortly.

So, within the past four years there has been an increasing number of eschatalogically-related events across the Middle-East that have been noticed by an ever increasing audience. Furthermore, we’ve seen a rapid acceleration in the number and frequency of such events.

A Prophetic Week of 20-plus Unprecedented Events

This weekend in Koenig’s Eye View from the White House (subscription only) William Koenig remarks under the above heading as having seen and posted a year’s worth of news in one-week! That happens once or twice a year but, says he, he’s never observed a week with so many biblically significant events happening within just five days.

He thinks these will play off each other and become even more significant, and cites Monday and Tuesday as a “breathtaking, prophetically significant 48 hours with Iran, Russia, Turkey, Syria, the United States, the EU, France, the UK, Germany, NATO, Israel and the Palestinians in the news. The final day nations are taking their positions rapidly” (emphasis mine).

William proceeds to list over 30 eschatalogical matters appearing in last week’s headlines, of which my readers may be well aware

SO keep looking upwards as the hour of our redemption draws closer…

Thanksgiving and prophetic words for Britain and United States

Posted on Thursday, 26 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

PS to previous post > > In case you may have read it soon after publication, I added a sentence with link about the timing of these ‘now words’. I believe there’s a great deal to be gained on meditating upon and seeking the Lord on their connection with the Lords’ feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles) – and its relationship to Jesus’ return!

Prophetic words for Britain and USA – time for the Lion to roar!

Posted on Thursday, 26 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

Earlier this week Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival informed me a prophetic word brought by Wendy Alec back in 2005 is a ‘Word for now’, especially because it’s highly encouraging. As there were things in the blog-pipeline I put it aside to ponder.

So in the meantime I printed, re-read and mulled over A Vision for Great Britain and considered how some parts may have been fulfilled. Would you read it with me and seek the Lord?

It’s a lengthy, deeply stirring prophecy and I was especially struck by,

‘Then the Lord showed me a large lion – and He said – “This lion represents the nation of Great Britain” – And it was a shocking sight – for where the lion should have been filled out and sleek and gleaming – it was almost a skeleton – and its mane was barely visible – and its coat was covered in mange – and its roar which should have shaken the nations in its power and in its ferocity was strangled and barely audible. And the Lord said “This represents both the glory of this nation at present and the state of My Church as a whole in Great Britain. And I saw in great letters – the words – “THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED FROM THE LION – BUT THE GLORY OF THE LORD OF HOSTS SHALL RETURN AND THE LION SHALL ROAR AGAIN“.’

I noted the closing promise about ‘The Great Joining of the Lion and the Eagle’.

Also, I recalled last year’s posts about the Lion of Judah, especially appearing at Ffald-y-Brenin as told in Vision of a lion – four faces of God.

Now, this afternoon, it just so happens ‘by coincidence’ from ‘over the Pond’ that upon opening WordPress Reader I noticed the latest post by Tony in Tucson dated today. It reads as follows (click title for original):

THE LION IS ROARING

‘Below is a vision I had 5 years ago:

‘I had a very tragic vision on 07/25/2010. In the vision I could see many preachers, their pulpits were lined up next to each other,they were very learned men, some were in suits and some were in robes,and they were preaching to a very large …congregation. The eyes of everyone in the congregation and their attention were on these preachers. In back of these preachers I could see Jesus on the cross. Not one of the preachers ever mentioned the cross in his preaching and no one in the congregation ever looked at the cross, their eyes were on the preachers and they were attentive to the “wisdom” that was being taught by them.

‘This Thanksgiving morning, 11/26/2015, I had a dream just before waking:

I saw a preacher standing at a pulpit. I saw the congregation seated ready to hear his sermon. Then I saw him open the Bible and it seemed that he opened it exactly in the middle. Then I saw an incredible site. Just as he opened the Bible I saw a lion leap from the pages and onto the podium, stand to the preacher’s right and begin to roar. The roar that come from this lion was like no earthly lion. The roar was so loud that the building shook. The attention of the people, as one might now guess was no longer on the preacher but instead was now on the lion. This Lion, I believe, was none other than the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

‘I find the contrast here amazing. In my vision of 2010, no one paid attention to the lamb of God suffering and dying on a cross for our sins. The people’s attention was on the pastors and their wisdom. In the dream I just had, the same would have been repeated except for the fact that the Lion began to roar. I believe that the Lord is bringing pulpit worship to an end.’

Amen, my American friend.

Fascinating that two prophetic words of several years ago have resurfaced almost simultaneously – and on America’s Thanksgiving!! (Its origins lie in the non-conformist Pilgrim Father’s celebration of Sukkot in 1621 – final para of Puritans were more Jewish than Protestants refers.)

Surely the Lord is indeed speaking to His Church…

Update 1st Dec: Patrick Schatzline tells me when he was in Singapore the Lord spoke to him about the Lion roaring! ( Remnant International Ministries).

Koenig/Glick: Europe’s pushing Palestinian state & illegal trade war on Israel

Posted on Thursday, 26 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

Further to the previous post about political and financial interference in Israeli-Palestinian relations, there’s another aspect to this serious issue – Europe’s illegal BDS campaign (Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions) of restricting goods from Israel and the ‘disputed’ (NB: not ‘occupied’) territories.

In my opinion, the closer we look at and investigate events of the last few years in tandem with a fuller, historically informed perspective, then all the consequences of those actions become as plain as a pikestaff.

Could Europe’s irrational and unremitting antagonism towards Israel be related somehow to the overwhelming flood of migrants? In its politicians’, intellectuals’ and media maligning of the existence and settlement of Jewish people in their ancient homeland could the Lord be saying to a once Christian continent, “Now’s time to taste your own medicine”?

In other words, “Europe, as you’ve sown against My plans then don’t whine over reaping the consequences!”. Hence, my blogging on the fulfillment of a prophetical word, “There’s no more extension of time” (see Cut-off date in God’s timeline), which resulted in Neville Johnson’s admonition; “The issue of sowing and reaping is becoming critical. Everything is speeding up. The process of sowing and reaping is being shortened over recent times; scary, because we don’t always sow the right things and it is coming back quicker”.

Therefore, the content of last Saturday’s Koenig’s Eye-view from the White House was most apposite, not only in William’s editorial but also in his later quoting Caroline Glick. William opens by referring to items on his desk and focusing upon French actions this year. So he asks:

“Did God lift his hand of protection off of France for a moment last Friday?”

He comments on the previous week’s outrage in Paris that, like with the 9/11 terror attack in New York fourteen years ago, God didn’t produce the evil but He didn’t stop it either. (RB: Maybe there’s something in that number as it often crops up.) William recaps on the past year,

‘The first major terror event was in Paris on Jan. 7 after the French initiated a UNSC vote on a Palestinian proposal that called for peace with Israel within a year and an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories by late 2017. It failed to pass a UN Security Council Resolution vote on Tuesday, Dec. 30, 2014. (UK abstained, the U.S. voted no, and Russia, China and France voted yes.) This was the culmination of significant efforts by the French earlier in the month, and their influence over the EU Parliament vote of 399 to 88 in favor of a Palestinian state in principle on Dec. 14, 2014.

‘The French U.N. envoy stated: “The peace process must evolve. If parties can’t take decisions alone, the international community has to share the burden.”

‘The French continued their relentless effort at forging a Palestinian state and were very active at the U.N. in September and in October (info below). This was the second time major pressure was applied on Israel by the French to give Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem to the Palestinians, which also arguably influenced the PA’s leadership recent incitement to terror.’

Hence my deep concern expressed in the recent two-part Fulfilled prophecies: 4 over the French government’s violation of scriptural principles.

In a later section covering news and commentary from outside the White House, William refers to and quotes extracts from an article published in The Jerusalem Post. However, it warrants fuller coverage and that website is duly credited as author (emphases Koenig):

Glick: EU is waging a trade war against Israel, and it is illegal

‘Senior contributing editor to The Jerusalem Post, Caroline Glick, accused the European Union on Wednesday (18 Oct) of waging a secret trade war against Israel.

‘Speaking at The Jerusalem Post Diplomatic Conference in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Jerusalem, she outlined a series of steps she recommends Israel take to counter the “discrimination” of the recent EU decision to label products produced in West Bank settlements.

“Today we are in the middle of Europe’s trade war against Israel,” she said. “It is never acknowledged, it’s hidden by lies about international law, lies about consumer protection and lies about human rights.”

But, Glick added, “The war itself is a breach of international law, it doesn’t protect consumers, and it harms human rights.” The EU’s recent decision in regard to settlement products is “illegal under international law. Under the WTO [World Trade Organization] treaties, it is illegal to introduce technical barriers to trade among trading nations.”

The EU, she said, should either leave the WTO or apply this policy equally to other places in “the same legal situation” as Israel (emphasis RB). For example, she said, it should insist that products produced in Western Sahara are labeled as “Moroccan settlement products made in Western Sahara.”

The policies of the EU, Glick argued, are designed “to discriminate against the Jewish state, in order to weaken and harm it.” Its approach to Israel, she said, is based on “prejudice, not facts.” (emphasis RB)

Glick outlined a series of steps she recommends the Israeli government take in reaction to the European Union…

“This isn’t the first time we’ve been singled out for unique treatment by the Europeans and it won’t be the last one,” she said. “They don’t think that we deserve to be treated the same way as every other country in the world, let alone every other liberal democracy.” (emphasis RB)

‘In fact, Glick added, since the Palestinians have called the recent EU move insufficient and the Israelis denounced it as discriminatory, “there’s no way that by taking these actions the Europeans are promoting the cause of peace. To the contrary, they’re harming it”.’

Watching the accompanying video of Caroline’s address I couldn’t fail to be impressed by her sensitivity and erudition. BUT the video stopped after a few minutes and no matter how often I try re-running, it just won’t! Doubtless someone or something does not like it – or want such a rational argument to be seen and understood!

For more, visit Caroline Glick or her Facebook page.

PS: Just in from Honest Reporting is an item on France’s Ambassador to the US upsetting French Jews living in Israel by seemingly distinguishing between Jews and “ordinary citizens” of France. In my opinion the ambassador may have had in mind the fact that in January terrorists made a specific distinction in attacking a supermarket frequented by citizens of the Jewish faith.

PPS: Just to prove all points:

UPDATE 18/2/16: Gatestone Institute’s France’s Relentless Hostility to Jewish State by Dr. Guy Millière, a professor at the University of Paris and author of 27 books on France and Europe, opens:

“France today is one of the main enemies of Israel — maybe its main enemy — in the Western world. France’s disregard of the threats faced by Israel is more than simple willful blindness. It is complicity….”

UPDATE 24/2/16: Dekafile ‘Abu Mazen rebuffs Kerry’s appeal to cool Palestinian terror against Israelis: ‘US Secretary of State John Kerry came away empty-handed from his latest meeting with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmud Abbas (Abu Mazen) in Amman on Sunday, February 21 – which shouldn’t have surprised him as it was par for the course. Debkafile’s Middle Eastern sources report Kerry was finally persuaded that Abbas would not give Israel an inch on any political or security-related matters. The Palestinian leader has never swerved from his conviction that it was the duty of the international community to force Israel to present the Palestinians with a state of their own – without direct negotiations.

To this end, Kerry found Abu Mazen clinging to the initiative put forward by French President Francois Hollande, for an international conference that will establish a Palestinian state, while letting the Palestinians off the hook of talks with Israel. France in fact warned Israel that without progress towards a two-state solution of the conflict, Paris would go ahead and recognize a Palestinian state on its own.

The Palestinian leader is determined to campaign on behalf of the French initiative in the coming month, undeterred by the US Secretary’s repeated warning that Washington will not go along with it, even if France puts it before the UN Security Council….(emphases RB)

Update on comments on the Archbishop of Canterbury’s faith

Posted on Tuesday, 24 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby (Reuters)

Some who read the previous post soon after its publication may not know the Archbishop of Canterbury has since explained on his official blog what he’d said in a televised interview.

I inserted that original material in my blog whilst prepping the draft because it illustrates what we’re seeing happen, even to believers, as prophesied about global events by Nathan Morris.

So I wrote as follows but have amended (emboldened text) the closing paragraph to reflect Justin Welby’s update:

‘Consider this with yesterday’s headline ‘Paris attacks made me ‘doubt’ presence of God, admits Archbishop of Canterbury’, as in yesterday’s BBC Songs of Praise. (See also The Independent and Daily Mail.) Justin Welby candidly admits the massacre caused him to doubt where God is and why it happened and that it made a “chink in his armour”.

‘BUT the Press fails to quote him in full – what’s new? In telling presenter Aled Jones of his seeking and engaging the Lord over the issue, Justin was asked, “What answers did He give you?” – he replied:

“He said, “In the middle of it”! And also an answer from the Psalms, Psalm 56 – ‘He stores up our tears in a bottle’. None of our sufferings are lost!”

‘See also Justin Welby’s official site for his Statement on Paris Attacks, as well as a blog published after this one was posted and in which His Grace explains Why Arguing with God is not the same as not believing in him. Interesting to read because it’s easy to infer from the references to two psalms how much the BBC edited out of the interview. What else would we expect in view of its jaundiced, inaccurate coverage of Israel, as monitored by BBC Watch?‘

Fulfilled prophecy #4 cont’d – Paris pays price, but NOT due to…cont’d

Posted on Monday, 23 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

In considering spiritual rather than politico-military reasons for the targeting of France – and now Mali too – I claimed in the previous post that prime verses of scripture as well as contemporaneous prophetical insights reveal the real reason for the massacre of 130 in Paris. The reason is likely to be not the French government’s military responses to ISIL in Syria, but its ongoing hostility towards Israel.

And this is not to forget or belittle the continuing attacks in Israel itself, as well as in Nigeria plus the Beirut bombing and the Russian airliner brought down over the Sinai. According to the List of Terror Attacks kept on Religion of Peace website the total number by Muslims since New York’s day of infamy stands at 27,308: so deaths are very much higher!

That first part of my argument used only one scripture because it was the focal emphasis of words from the Lord brought by Neville Johnson. We also revisited prophetic words Nathan Morris brought for New Year 2012 and noticed their accuracy regarding this year’s atrocities. Before demonstrating other scriptures’ relevance and application to what France has done to Israel, let me reconsider first what Nathan stressed and the relevance to yesterday’s news:

“The Lord told me that in the coming days such will be the unfolding of global events that fear will strike the hearts of men…an ever-increasing unrest and a spirit of confusion shall be released upon the world that the hearts of many shall be gripped with fear; the fear of uncertainty and the sense of hopelessness…” (listen from 2:30:00 of this video).

Consider this with yesterday’s headline ‘Paris attacks made me ‘doubt’ presence of God, admits Archbishop of Canterbury’, as in yesterday’s BBC Songs of Praise. (See also The Independent and Daily Mail.) Justin Welby candidly admits the massacre caused him to doubt where God is and why it happened and that it made a “chink in his armour”.

BUT the Press fails to quote him in full – what’s new? In telling presenter Aled Jones of his seeking and engaging the Lord over the issue, Justin was asked, “What answers did He give you?” – he replied:

“He said, “In the middle of it”! And also an answer from the Psalms, Psalm 56 – ‘He stores up our tears in a bottle’. None of our sufferings are lost!”

See also Justin Welby’s official site for his Statement on Paris Attacks, as well as a blog published after this one was posted and in which His Grace explains Why Arguing with God is not the same as not believing in him. Interesting to read because it’s easy to infer from the references to two psalms how much the BBC edited out of the interview. What else would we expect in view of its severely jaundiced and inaccurate coverage of Israel, as monitored by BBC Watch?

What Does the Bible Say?

Here’s a selection of well-known scripture pertinent to France’s situation. Bear in mind that all events in Old (and New) Testaments act as examples ‘for our admonition (upon whom the end of ages have come’ – 1 Cor 10:11).:

1a) The Lord’s promise to Abraham and to his descendants of that everlasting promise:

“I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.

“I will bless those who bless you and curse him who curses you; and in you all families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:2-3 NKJV)

1b) The Angel of the Lord’s prophecy to Hagar about his son Ishmael:

“He shall be a wild man; his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. And he shall dwell in the land of his brethren.” (Genesis 16:12 NKJV)

2) In a vision to prophet Obadiah the Lord makes his first definitive declaration about ‘The Day of the Lord’ on the divisive hatred the sons of Esau have for those of brother Jacob. It thus applies as a major End-time prophecy to all nations’ treatment of the Jewish nation:

“For the day of the LORD upon all nations is near; As you have done (to Israel), it shall be done to you; your reprisal shall return upon your own head.” (Obadiah 1:15 NKJV)

3) The scenario of how this End-time prophecy is being fufilled today:

“And it shall happen in that day that I shall make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who heave it away will surely be cut to pieces though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.” (Zecharia 12:3 NKJV)

4) The ‘spiritual law of action and reaction’ is outlined in the earliest Christian letter by the hand of Apostle Paul:

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7-8 NIV)

Hence, France’s fundamental problem is its leaders’ rebellion against the Word of the Lord as presented below.

Paris – The Morning After

As recounted earlier, on Saturday 14th November I read online headlines on the massacre in Paris, one of which I realised connected directly into its true cause.

In Koenig’s World Watch Daily I noticed ‘France’s War Against Israel – Caroline Glick’. Editor William Koenig gives this ex-peace negotiator, now Senior Contributing Editor of the Jerusalem Post, the accolade of ‘ne plus ultra’ (none better, perfect example) for her excellence and accuracy of journalism.

Caroline’s article of 20th October (ie. 3 weeks before the attacks) caught my attention and connected right into the weekend’s massacres. She gets right to the core of issues and so I now quote her at length. You may be as appalled by this as I am, so I’d urge you to read her full article by clicking on this sub-head title.:

France’s War Against Jews

Caroline delivers a stinging indictment and condemnation of officially-sanctioned hostility by a leading European nation towards the nation of Israel. She opens as follows, (emphases mine):

‘France’s plan to use its position at the UN Security Council to bring about the deployment of international monitors to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem has been condemned by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his ministers as biased, unhelpful and detached from reality.

‘Certainly it is all those things. But France’s decision to use its diplomatic position to advance a plan which, if implemented, would end Israeli sovereignty over Judaism’s holiest site is first and foremost a French act of aggression against the Jewish state.

‘Contrary to what the French government would have us believe, France’s Temple Mount gambit is not an effort to quell the violence. French protestations of concern over the loss of life in the current tempest of Palestinian terror ring hollow.

‘France doesn’t really oppose Palestinian terrorism. To the contrary, it facilitates it.’

Caroline continues by documenting French bankrolling of and conniving with those whose ultimate goal is the eradication of their neighbour:

‘Every year, the French government pays millions of euros, dollars and shekels to Palestinian NGOs whose stated goal is to destroy Israel. Through its NGO agents, France finances the radicalization of Palestinian society (which) makes Palestinian terror inevitable. Much of the current rhetoric used by the Palestinians to reject Israel’s legitimacy and justify violence against Jews is found in strategic documents that France paid Palestinian NGOs to write…’

Over 2010-2013 a consortium of Palestinian Non-Governmental Organisations called NGO Development Center received $6.5 million from France, which ‘paid for the NDC to put together a strategic plan to advance its members’ goals. That French-initiated and financed document includes a list of activities not aimed at promoting peace, enhancing the daily lives of Palestinians, or expanding economic growth.’

‘Rather, the French financed strategic planning document provides a list of activities that the NGO’s will undertake to delegitimize and criminalize Israel and ensure that Palestinians hate the Jewish state and view it as the cause of all their suffering.’

Caroline ‘s expose of France continues in depth. For the second example she refers to an NDC document of 2008 that, ‘required all member groups to ban all “normalization activities with the occupier, [both] at the political-security [and] the cultural [and] developmental levels.”

‘The document went on to call for Israel to be destroyed. No action on the part of any Palestinian entity can be carried out it said, “if it undermines the inalienable Palestinian rights of establishing statehood and the return of refugees to their original homes,” that, is, the immigration of millions of foreign-born Arabs to the ruins of Israel.’

Thirdly, she covers the immense French funding of the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee which ‘uses racist language to demonize Jews and Israel by among other things assaulting the so-called “Judaization of Jerusalem” and attacking Palestinians who work with Israeli companies….In 2011, PARC sabotaged a trade delegation in France comprised of Israeli and Gazan farmers…Rather than welcome Israel’s actions on behalf of Gaza farmers, PARC organized a boycott of the delegation – causing direct harm to Gazan farmers.

‘…By paying these groups to carry out these sorts of activities, the French government has made clear that far from seeking to advance the cause of peace, its actual goal is to block all prospects of peace between Israel and the Palestinians. These sorts of actions are the norm, rather than the exception in France’s treatment of Israel.

‘And France makes no bones about its hostility towards the Jewish State.’

In the next page Caroline examines how the past year’s support of the PA complements France’s own domestic anti-Jewish policy. Then she presents historical details enabling her to castigate president Holland for his outrageous, grossly discourteous and insulting treatment of PM Netanyahu during his visit to honour the victims of the attacks in Paris last January. Caroline finishes this litany as follows:

‘In the evening after the march, Hollande refused to appear with Netanyahu at the memorial ceremony for the victims of the Hyper Cacher massacre. In a tangible snub, Hollande left the synagogue where it was being held before Netanyahu arrived.

‘In the nine months since the attacks, rather than go after the Islamic communities of France that infect their members with Nazi-like Jew hatred marinated in Koranic dispensations for murder, French authorities have forced French Jewry to live under lock and key. Jewish communal institutions are required to shoulder astronomical security costs as their buildings have come to look more like military garrisons than elementary schools and synagogues.

‘As a French professor writing under the pen name Alain El-Mouchain explained this month in Mosaic Magazine, the French government’s “refusal to identify either the culprits [of anti-Semitic violence] or their [Jewish] victims by their proper names…has perversely combined with the swift posting of police and military guards at Jewish institutions to make Jews feel that at best they have become ‘protected citizens’ in their own country, reinforcing the idea that they are no longer at home in France but are rather a new kind of dhimmi [a minority group that lives at the pleasure of the ruling Muslims].“

Caroline concludes,

‘Through its actions, France has shown that it isn’t even vaguely interested in promoting freedom and peace. The policy of the French government, revealed yet again by its bid to end Israeli control of the Temple Mount, is to delegitimize Israel and curry the favor of jihadists at the expense of the Jews of Israel and of France alike.’

France is also at the forefront of the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israeli businesses thereby adversely affecting Palestinian workers.

France continues to pay the price for its leaders’ decisions and actions.

Therefore, it’s no wonder France holds the record for Jews currently emigrating to Israel. Yet this is in accord with the revelatory word Dr Maurice Sklar received, as follows.:

Prophetic Word at Feast of Tabernacles 2015

Note the following points (emphases added) from what the above messianic Jew says the Lord gave at the start of this year’s Feast of Tabernacles, as copied in this re-post:

1. The Times of the Gentiles are coming to an end. The end of Adam’s dominion time-lease upon earth is nearly over. The time of Jacobs’ Trouble: the Tribulation period is about to begin. BUT HE (JACOB) SHALL BE SAVED OUT OF IT. It is in this time that I will sovereignly cause all the Jews to return to their home, Eretz Israel. I will shake them out like a tablecloth that a lady would take outdoors and shake all the crumbs out of it by flapping it into the wind. But not one crumb will perish. All shall be returned…. Many of my people are hidden in the nations that have descended from the 10 lost tribes. They are not “lost” to Me. I KNOW THEM ALL. They shall return, along with all the descendants of Judah and Levi. No man knows who or where they are, but I DO. The time has come when the rest of the family will come home to the land I promised them.

2. Satan knows that his time is short. War is coming to the Middle East. It will bring every nation into it before it is all over. Israel is my mousetrap, and Jerusalem is the cheese. Israel is also my anvil on which I will judge the nations. Prepare your hearts, for peace will be taken from the earth. For 70 years I gave the Western nations peace and prosperity after World War 2. That was because of what the United States did along with the Allied forces by defeating Nazi Germany and rescuing My people Israel from extermination, and then paving the way for Israel to be reborn as a nation in 1948.

In my humble opinion that prophetic word and its associated one on the Day of the Lord are worthy of reflection and, as with the words in this two-part blog, should be weighed with scripture and the Lord.

Conclusion

If you followed up my reference to Francois X’s remarks in the previous post you would have gained a closer view on the situation by a brother in Christ familiar with the Bible as prophecy.

“The situation in France is more dire than people think” and he mentions the 800 no-go areas that are outside the police force’s ability to enforce the law of the land. [See latest in Daniel Pipes’ personal investigations Muslim no-go zones in Europe?]

Even so, the people’s elected representatives have no excuse whatsoever for very biased and bigoted policies against Israel.

As the above few scriptures attest, we are now witnessing France reaping what it has sown. Its support for anti-Israel terrorism and the downfall of that nation and surrender of its holiest site in Jerusalem has resulted in not only no divine protection against the demonic but also a barbaric targeting by the most extreme Muslim movement, one that copies the military adventures of their faith’s founder and subsequent early leaders.

After planning to get United Nations action against Israel in Jerusalem, president Hollande has petitioned for other nations to join the action against ISIS/ISIL. As Dr John McTernan and others have posited for some years and the wise leader of Jordan now foresees, it looks like we’re now heading into World War Three!

Once again history repeats itself as other peoples decide enough is enough of Muslim-based aggression – as outlined in this post on the myths about the Crusades: An insight into global satanic strategy – part 2.

Fulfilled prophecy #4 – Paris pays price, but NOT due to…

Posted on Saturday, 21 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

…French military action in Syria against ISIS, as claimed by barbarian murderers to ‘justify’ their attacks a week ago last night!

La Tour Eiffel (Reuters: Charles Platiau)

NO! Several prime verses of scripture and recent prophetical insights reveal the reason for citizens’ vulnerability in Paris as being their government’s hostile actions against the Jewish state of Israel.

One consequence of acting contrary to the Lord’s directives is the lack of His protective blessing! That is, unfortunately for the French they don’t appear to be in His favour.

Our hearts go out to all those grieving over those outrages. Yet we should always be aware of the ‘law’ of sowing and reaping as revealed in the earliest Christian letter:

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7-8 NIV)

Most saddening, however, is the fact that one of the songs joined in by attendees at the Bataclan concert was blatant satan worship! Eagles of Death Metal played their ‘kiss the devil’ (song lyrics) > then many dozens of souls went down into his dark domain! Harsh words in a tragedy, but I write from personal knowledge. In 1989 it nearly happened to me during a near-death experience, but I was most blessed to be Rescued from Hell. Therefore, I am most grieved they’re paying the price of having put their souls in grave peril. (See comments below and press press report – and Lightning-Bolt Tinted Glasses gives much food for thought!) Update Jan’16: this video shows what true worship is like.

Prophetic Words of 2012-15

A week ago this morning I saw headlines about this year’s second atrocity in Paris, and one of which I realised connected directly into its true cause. More about that later for I immediately recalled what Neville Johnson said last year in Urgent prophetic words about a cut-off date in God’s timeline:

“There is a definite cut-off point that is going to happen. A lot of things have been held up because God in His mercy has waited and waited and waited…and God has given us more time and more time. But he spoke to me,

“Neville, it is over. There is no more extension of time!”

In August last (2015), Neville reminded us that extension of time will end in September, “Time has run out” (see Last blood moon ushers in new era).

In 2014 Neville revealed he’d had more encounters with the Lord than in any previous year. “Things have become critical. It is the season of change”. In particular he shared,

“…we are on the brink of something great and something terrible. Time is running out for us and we have to be prepared for what is coming, particularly this nation (USA), but there are ramifications for other nations around the world as well. We are on the brink of something great…” (emphasis added).

He divulged several things the Lord had given him, one of which in my humble opinion relates directly to last week’s atrocity (textual format reflects vocal emphases):

“THE ISSUE OF SOWING AND REAPING IS BECOMING CRITICAL. Everything is speeding up. The process of sowing and reaping is being shortened over recent times; scary, because we don’t always sow the right things and it is coming back quicker.”

Whilst writing I’m reminded of a strongly anointed word given within weeks of launching this blog. On 6th January 2012 evangelist Nathan Morris told how the Lord had spoken to him with Holy Spirit strongly impressing upon him that such will be the unfolding of global events in 2012 – and in days that lie ahead – that fear will strike the hearts of men; ever-increasing unrest and a spirit of confusion shall be released upon the world, uncertainty and hopelessness will even grip the hearts of believers.

This exceptionally anointed prophetic word begins as follows:

“For lawlessness will abound as nations and their leaders meet together to try and make alliances dnd allegiances one with another. They shall seek peace, but shall not find it – they shall seek peace, but shall not find it! This will cause many to cry from the rooftops for resolution but it will still elude them, for a time for further unrest will be their reward.

“For even in 2012 there shall be great events that will change the course of this world, as you know it! For as many pour out their resources to find solutions of peace, another crisis will drain them of knowledge and resolution.

“For I would know that My people would hear My voice, that I am setting the stage for that which I have foretold in My Word and it will quickly and swiftly come to pass. For the days are coming when the lawless one shall be revealed and the son of perdition shall take his stand…” (Setting the stage for the End-times at 2:23:30).

Neville Johnson on France

At this year’s conference in Lancaster USA, Neville referred to France being judged, but I deemed it wiser not to repeat his remarks. He mentioned Dickens’ classic ‘A Tale of Two Cities‘ and compared the fate of London with that of Paris and noted the author’s prophetic contrasting of extreme opposites. This applies today too as, “The tale of two kingdoms: light and darkness”. (If you haven’t yet seen that video then now’s definitely the time! My reference is at 32 minutes.)

Neville spoke of France’s poor future being a consequence of the way it persecuted the Huguenots. He could also have mentioned the post-Revolution republic’s secular stance against scripture. Today’s president, Francois Hollande, is an avowed atheist although he was raised as Catholic (Quartz: These are the religious beliefs of Europe’s leaders).

That fact possibly provides the ‘raison d’etre’ to his official policies towards Israel.

(This is quite clear from the detailed content accompanying that other headline I saw a week ago this morning. In the midst of several on last Saturday’s Koenig’s World Watch Daily I noticed ‘France’s war against Jews – Caroline Glick’. I will cover this in part two of this post.)

The relevance of Neville’s remarks are corroborated by the in-depth report of ‘Francois X’ in the discussion thread of Nelson Walters’ Paris is just the beginning…

‘You write: “If they were reading and understanding their Bibles they would know that Paris is just the beginning”.

Unfortunately, very few people in France read their Bible. Since the French revolution in the late 18th century, France has been, a secular country. The Elohim of the Bible is not part of the French scene anymore. This is very unfortunate, and what we are experiencing, and I fully agree with you, it is just the beginning, is mainly due to our nation rejecting Yahweh…’

(15.12.15) For more from France read No Surrender This Time by French journalist and public intellectual Michel Gurfinkiel. Editor-in-chief of Valeurs Actuelles from 1985-2006, he’s written several books on geopolitics, international relations and culture. He is the Founder and President of the Jean-Jacques Rousseau Institute, a conservative think-tank, and a Shillman/Ginsburg Fellow at the Middle East Forum.

Prophetic words of blessing and fire for British Isles & Ireland

Posted on Thursday, 19 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

This Word for the UK, dated 17th November, is brought by Monica White, a member of Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival:

“England, oh England… have I not promised you that I would rekindle the ancient flames across the land? See, even now it comes to pass… Holy fire lit here, there, and soon the fires will join and your land will be aflame with my Spirit. For I have loved you and have loved your forefathers who served me and their prayers and their cries even amidst of burning reached My throne and I will never forget.. I will come as the whirlwind and as the Fire and as the Dove and you will see me across the land!

“Ireland my beloved.. in days of old I sent your children into the nation with My Zeal for Holiness, for signs, for wonders… for a time the signs I gave you became strange beings that were not in My image, but according to your understanding… yet my Promise never left you and my Purpose never left you and you will blaze again with Holy Fire! Watch and see, it will be in your time.

“Scotland oh brave one… I gifted you with wisdom and restraint and with mighty generals… you will again break out and in My Power go forth and conquer in distant nations and on your own soil and do great exploits… but in My Kingdom and with my Power! And the work will endure.

“Wales, I visited you and will visit you again. For the remnant that have remained faithful are many and the prayers and supplications of those that have gone before are echoing in the Heavenlies…Surely I hear you and the incense of your love please My Heart and I will bless you again ! “

Amen!

Patsy Southway: “Europe – it’s time!”

Posted on Wednesday, 18 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

As I awoke Sunday morning, these were the words to me from the Lord, “EUROPE – IT’S TIME!”

As we take time to remember those who have died this past week in Paris, let’s join together in prayer, agreeing with Heaven, that it is indeed time for Europe.

Many of you will know that I had an open vision in 2008 of a “LOVE ARMY” coming across Europe. I shared this again recently in meetings in the Czech Republic (see Angels of Courage; Angels of Love). At that time, God showed me that He was preparing His LOVE ARMY that would be moving right across Europe. This Army had no weapons as soldiers usual weapons, but their weapons were “heavenly weapons”. Their words were FULL of power and authority. Their shadows, like Peter, caused the lame to be instantly healed and their prayers were from the heart of the Father. They were living out of a truly John 5:19 lifestyle – whatever Father was doing, we were doing, whatever Father was saying, we were saying.

So, friends, let us choose to live this lifestyle and see God’s Love Army arising, as He has said. And as HOPE carriers release the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ so that FEAR melts over the nations and Jesus is glorified!! Amen

Birmingham, 16th January – Exposing the spirits of jezebel & antichrist

Posted on Tuesday, 17 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

Over lunch with William Smith, author of Feasting on the Father and his wife Susanna yesterday we discussed the undesirable and adverse effect of church leaders who let a controlling, religious spirit – which is demonic and thus divisive – quench things of the Holy Spirit within church; even resulting in churches splitting up! Now hasn’t that been a strategy of satan since the days of the first disciples and throughout church history?

There are even well-intentioned prayer meetings that study the Word of God supposing certain scriptures as suitable for the purposes of intercession, but which are adamant in not listening to what the Lord has to say, as though blocking ears when direct words or pictures are brought from the Lord! As Dr Sharon Stone oft states: “The religious spirit hates the spirit of prophecy” (let’s recall Revelation 19:10 – the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy).

So the news of an event I received the same morning, which would enable the Bride to discern and overcome the adversary’s strategies and facilitate moving into the new era of the church, would be exceptionally timely, essential instruction and ministry:

Harvest Ministries recommends Exposing the Spirits of Jezebel and of Antichrist to anyone in church leadership of any kind, is involved in the prophetic or has a healing ministry. Harvest Ministries is associated with The Revival Alliance.

This one day event is hosted by Harvest Ministries with teaching by Wes Boxall, who has pastored for over 20 years. He has done extensive research into the spirits of Jezebel, Anti-Chris and Mammon. He has discovered, startlingly, these spirits directly oppose and counterfeit the Godhead! These divisive spirits would like nothing more than to tear-down, divide, exhaust and otherwise incapacitate the church.

This day is likely be as shocking as it is informative!

However we, as the church, cannot afford to allow these spirits to influence our lives. As we step up, and step out, into our destinies and spiritual gifts, we must be on guard and resist the enemy.

Prophetic words on the New Season

Posted on Thursday, 12 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

Thank you to Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival and Angela Samuel and Chris Bennet for these edifying words that confirm others recently published on this blog.:

New Life

As I went into my town shopping today I looked at the sky and the sun, I heard the Lord say,
“See the New thing I do now, there is a new way of living coming, stay close to the River of life, move as the wind moves, I bring New life, your dead bones they will live, call forth what you see from the end, keep the vision in front of your eyes, the unseen will be seen in your lives, the change is coming. Keep your eyes fixed on me, let the Glory of the Lord be seen in everything you do. I Am all that you need.”

Angela Samuel, 7th November

New Wind

There is a new wind about to start blowing. It is a new wind of the Holy Spirit that will bring many new things into focus for us. This “New Ruach” will blow away many things too, the main thing being the veils of deception that are invading the church today. There will be a new clarity in our view of world and end-time events and we will find ourselves saying, “I wonder why we didn’t see that before?” This new clarity will shake us and all our preconceived ideas of how the Lord is going to move in these coming days. It will also cause our rooms and buildings to shake as we comprehend the mighty purposes of our God.

This new wind will blow away all our cobwebs that we have been clinging on to for so long. Holy Spirit is coming as a wind to bring us anointing, ministry gifts, prophecies, and much more. Does not His Word say, “Behold, I am beginning a new thing. Do you not see it springing up?” This wind is blowing the false away as He brings this new clarity and anointing to bear in our everyday lives.

Prepare yourselves for this wind to manifest these coming days and weeks. This is a literal wind, and it will blow in your meetings whether large or small; whether two or three, or several hundred. “I am coming to you soon”, says the Lord. “It is time to separate wheat and tares, and to anoint those prepared to carry the whirlwind of My presence into the world. It is time to begin the new work I have for those committed to My cause. The wind of My Spirit is coming to you today.”

Chris Bennett, 8th November

RB Note: It certainly seems this newness is coming into churches in our area. When I received the email notification I’d been thinking about changes the Lord is bringing about within His body that some are struggling with because the spirit of religiosity strongly hinders their moving into new ways.

“It was one of the most profound words I’ve ever been given” – the USA in heaven’s court

Posted on Thursday, 12 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

The above quotation is Simon Braker’s on Facebook to me about that most remarkable dream of judgement and the Lord’s decision to send a great revival.

Last night I sensed the Lord wants me to re-emphasis the dream’s significance just in case any American reader or visitor to this blog may not yet have had opportunity to read and consider it.

Hence, this short note in case you may wish to read and be blessed by it; in which case please click here.

I was particularly interested that its publication followed close on the heels of hearing revivalist Pat Schatzline. I’d reported upon the main part of his message in my 3-part post on boasting over Jesus, in which I quoted his rejection of all ‘doom and gloom’ prophecies but left out his own on revival for another blog.

Therefore, I’d encourage everyone now reading Simon’s dream to follow that up with what Pat brought, as in Revival in the USA. In my humble opinion they’re directly connected. You may also like to note in the comments to that post a poetic prophecy brought a year earlier by Jerry Savelle.

May you be mightily blessed…

Revival in the USA – a prophetical perspective from ‘over The Pond’

Posted on Wednesday, 11 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

The possibility of a fresh Holy Spirit-led revival in the United States seems far-fetched in view of the deep spiritual darkness there and its being long overdue for holy judgement – but…

In the last week we’ve noted prophetic words about a revival coming to the USA, as in Simon Braker’s dream in Leicester, and changes for the church as in posts on James Bailey and Chuck Pierce in America. I’d like to add to these with an update as well as to list earlier posts on this subject for ease of reference.

Let’s not forget that many prophetical voices consider the injunction brought by prophet Isaiah applies today for Spirit-led Christians:

‘Arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon YOU. Nations will come to your light and kings to the brightness of your dawn…’ (Isaiah 60:1-3)

Last year I started blogging about visitors to Britain noticing good changes in our spiritual atmosphere. So why not ‘turn the tables’ by giving my perspective from here on a coming revival in America? Several times I’ve noted similarities between what’s been prophetically heard and declared here and over there, as in posts bearing ‘Bridge_o’Pond’ tag.

Revival on the Gulf Coast

Soon after opening worship on Sunday 18th October at Church of His Presence in Alabama, pastor Kilpatrick spoke about the necessity of buying adjoining land for extending their new premises.

“What’s that got to do with revival?” you may well ask!

Had it not been for local residents’ recent opposition that land would have been sold for industrial development. Last year, CHP had been mightily blessed with being able to buy and build there within months, thereby no longer needing to hire facilities in Mobile Convention Centre.

Bear in mind also that the Lord blessed pastor John with hosting not one but TWO Holy Spirit led revivals: in 1995, a repentance revival in Brownsville, Pensacola, Florida and, in 2010, The Bay of the Holy Spirit healing revival in Daphne, Alabama. Remarkably both started on Fathers’ Day of their respective year.

That morning Pat Schatzline preached upon the fourth man in the fiery furnace and ‘bragging on Jesus’, as reported here and here. Those posts focussed upon what the Lord had stressed to him on the importance of praising Him in these times. In avoiding over-complication I didn’t tell about an important prophetic word for revival with which Pat opened his message (at 1:39:30 of this video),

“Praise Him…we’re not done here, we’re not done praising! You have no idea what I’m about to preach on. Some of you know I have a sleep disorder called ‘revelation’…

“A few days ago when pastor called me…I was praying after you called and asked me to come. I was supposed to be in Ohio but the Holy Spirit said “You’re to go”! How many of you know when ‘a father’ calls, you go? That’s the rule…

“But I was praying about this property and I saw that new area and the Lord said, “Revival is to come from that land”.

“That’s what He spoke to me. He said this house will raise up revivalists that will touch the world.“

Of course, some cynically presume he’s just trying to raise finance, but says he…

“No, no, no, for we’re living in intense times. And just as there’s many ‘preppers’ out there, it’s time to prepare the way for revival.

“He’s coming! A move of the Spirit’s coming to America. God’s not done with America yet – I’m a missionary to America. I so deeply honour this house and know this general’s motives that the Lord spoke to me early this morning, “The camels are coming!”…”

Pat says, as blogged earlier, he’s been on an intense journey with the Lord for over a year because He promised, “If you’ll allow me to take you to the places of revival, you’ll be part of the next one”. Pat continues,

“I was standing over there a minute ago and asked the Lord to bend me…I prayed then I felt the hand of God hit me and He started pushing me over! I’ve never had that happen to me before” (Pat indicates a doubling over)…

“People are going to come from north, south, east and west – not just to come and be part of this church; that’s not what it’s about – but they’re going to come in here because they need to be washed, to have an encounter, to have their cognitive dissonance ripped off, scales broke off of them – this is a Restoration Place of the Lord – and I’m telling you from the Holy Spirit we’ve seen nothing yet…we’ve seen nothing yet!

“And it’s not by chance that one of my heroes is here: Jeri Hill’s here today (evangelist Steve Hill’s widow)…there’s another wave of the Spirit that’s coming – it was prophesied 50 miles to the west of Brownsville: right here!

“Now why’m I telling you that – because in the next few minutes I’m going to brag on God…(as in More biblical boasting on Jesus.)

On the coming Revivals

For information purposes, revivals prophesied for the USA are covered in earlier posts, as below. The sequence is in chronological order of events (date format dd.mm.yy):

John Kilpatrick (1986): If you preach what I give you and preach it unafraid and un-intimidated on television…I will open the heavens from the I10 all along this Gulf coast.” (Then 1993): “I’m about to open the heavens over Pensacola. I’m about to pour out My Spirit in this place, but first you must make it a house of prayer.” (Revivals in the USA cont’d.)
Dr Yonggi Cho (1993): “I’m not going to judge, I’m not going to bring My judgment on America, I’m going to pour out My Spirit. Get your atlas out of your attaché case and point! – I’m going to pour out My Spirit first in Pensacola, it will burn like a match-head, fiery, there and it will go west along the I10 to the Mississippi river, (Spanish, ‘River of The Holy Spirit’). Then it will back up along the Gulf coast, go down the peninsular of Florida, go up the Eastern seaboard and come down into the Mid-West and South-West and shoot out through the North-West; and before My Coming ALL of America will be ablaze with The glory of God!” (Revivals in the USA cont’d.)
Tony Puccio (3.9.10): vision of a coming wave of the Holy Spirit to the US.
Tony Puccio (22.1.14): A couple of visions about Revival in the USA.
Dutch Sheets (3.7.14): 4th July and a Third Great Awakening.
Joel Rosenberg (13.11.14): 46,000 churches called to ‘extraordinary prayer’.
John Kilpatrick (7.12.14): lady pastor brought ‘fire’ from Toronto to Pensacola and the Spirit fell – prophecy about the American Gulf coast: “I believe there’s going to come a powerful shift that will begin in Alabama, and the shift that takes place here, among other places, is going to begin to shift this nation back to where it should be! Now don’t make this mistake…that whatever God does next He’s done before, because it’s not! There’s a new sound that’s coming! There’s a new level of worship that’s coming! There’s a new level of revelation preaching that’s coming!” (Revivals in the USA cont’d.)
RB (31.12.14): Revivals in the USA – nature of revival – native Indian revival of 1745 – July 1994 prophecies of 1995 and 2010 revivals – Nov 2014 prophecy, “Brownsville was good, Bay of the Holy Spirit would happen here – but I believe what’s about to take place over there (ie. across the bay from Mobile) is going to rock this nation!…I challenge the men to get ready.. to be in our place and be prepared for what’s about to take place, to be prepared for what’s about to happen!” (J Kilpatrick)
John Kilpatrick (1.3.15): On a new revival of prayer in USA and elsewhere.

Chuck Pierce et al: key prophetic revelation – a turning point

Posted on Monday, 9 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

“We truly are at a “turning point” in the Church and God is doing a NEW thing in us and through us. We are at a shift and transition unlike any other time we’ve experienced before…and He is preparing His Church.

“Chuck Pierce is one I highly regard and look up to, to understand the times and seasons and where God is leading us. Below are the latest prophetic words and revelations from Chuck Pierce and his team…and all I can say is, “Wow!” (Steve Schultz, The Elijah List.)

The following prophetic words were brought on Sunday 1st November through Chuck Pierce, Keith Pierce, Acijam Otxoa, Brian Kooiman, Lisa Lyons, Melinda Richardson.

Click for video and on following sub-header for original Elijah List post plus prophetic dreams and interpretations. Observations appended below refer to paragraphs with [number suffix].

THIS IS THE DAY OF THE TURNING POINT!

I would say to you, “Embrace your turning point. Over this past season you’ve been sifted and you’ve been strained, and you have even fought for your very breath. But this is a day of change! This is a day of rearranging! This is a time that I AM sending a three-fold cord of empowerment into your soul that cannot be broken. For many of your nerves were strained and broken over the last seven years. Many covenants that you thought would last are now lying by the wayside.

“I am now sending a three-fold cord to reform, and to restore, and to rebuild. I am causing My restoration of your future to begin to rise. Step into the well and the water that is now stirring and moving. Watch Me begin to wash away what strained you. Watch Me cause you to shine. Watch Me give you new territory for this season. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

“You have heard Me release Safe Passage. You have heard Me release Turning Point. But now you will see and hear Me as I come forth as Redeemer, Restorer, and Rebuilder. I am sending angels connected with these three dimensions of transformation. What was broken will be fixed, brought forth, and renewed.

“When you look at yourself don’t look for the pot or vessel that you were. I’ve had to disconnect elements from how you were built, crush, and then add new liquid that would cause you to be made into a structure for the future. What I am rebuilding, restoring and redeeming will look different from anything you expected from the past. Others that look you at would say, ‘Who is this person?’

“Your heel will crush the head of the snakes you’ve seen in the past. The attacks you’ve seen between brothers and brothers, and sisters and sisters – look ahead and see the covenant that I have been developing. I will send My people realigned into the enemy’s camp. This realigned army will defeat the enemy and the booty will be brought to My Kingdom. You will fight alongside those you thought were sifted away. I am restoring an army in a new way, and I am realigning a new day.

“For I am bringing down the Ancient Book with mysteries. These books carry the strategies for legislators of the Kingdom. These strategies contain revelation for a new dimension of Kingdom power. These strategies will overtake the enemy in every region that I assign you to. So receive the books – the Ancient Books – that carry the strategies of the legislation of God.” [1]

“I Need You! Therefore, I Am Drawing You!”

“This will be a time that I will release a new seeking draw upon your life. You will begin to seek Me and long for Me. You will begin to say, ‘I must have intervention! I must have a breaking-in of God’s presence and His life!’ I am going to draw you, and you will seek Me in a way you haven’t sought Me! You will know Me in a way you haven’t known Me! Feel the drawing, and submit to the drawing. Watch your new level of seeking begin. I will draw you into that which you have been longing to experience.

“For this is a time that I am beginning to brood and reform in a new way. For there are things that I have longed to see come into the earth realm. As My people gather and loose the sound of Heaven, I will hover and rearrange chaos. I am calling My people into a new place of alignment. My army is beginning to assemble. A new sound of joy, a new sound of laughter, and a new demonstration of power is beginning to arise. Allow My Spirit to brood over you. As I meet with you, you will see the two ends that could not meet in the last season begin to form a new line of demarcation. [2]

“Your praise and worship are rising as an occupying force in the spirit realm. There is a rout (sic) taking place in the spirit world! This will only increase. There is a displacement coming in the second heaven from the worship and praise of My people as they seek My Spirit and respond to all I am offering them.” [3]

“I Am Rearranging Your Past Confusion!”

“I have been rearranging your confusion, for you have not been able to see the joy in the midst of the chaos around you. This will be a time that I draw out the joy that is in you. I have placed you in that chaos that is around you to produce joy. If you will release the joy that I have developed within you, the chaos will subside and you will see the order around you.

“It’s not how eloquently or long you pray! The key is the ONE WORD of faith. As you speak that one word, your situation will change. Do not let the downdraft pull you down into the circumstances that are surrounding you. Remain buoyant with that one word. The one word is your breakthrough in this season.

“Declare breakthrough after breakthrough after breakthrough into everything that seems chaotic. Your buoyant faith is what causes you to arise in the midst of everything that is trying to pull you down. Don’t stop at one breakthrough, but go from breakthrough to breakthrough until you are beyond breakthrough.

“My Names that you have built within you in the past season will now come into fullness. This will cause angelic armies to align with you and push you through the atmosphere that is attempting to hold you. Every force must bow! It is not the mere words that you speak, but it is the one effective word that causes a ‘bulls-eye’ shot.” [4]

(Prophetic dreams with interpretation follow…as here.)

Observations:

As well as confirming several recent words (eg. James Bailey: My people have reached a tipping point), I was struck by these words in particular.:

‘Ancient Books’: last month I discussed with Nelson Walters the book referred to in Daniel 12 and his concluding it’s very likely the Lamb’s Book of Life. I pointed out Daniel 10 refers to it as ‘writings of Truth’ and Daniel 7 refers to other books being opened, as well as insights gained independently by Paul Keith Davis and Bobby Conner in December 2000. (See Is the Book of Daniel Unsealed in Dan 12? and comments thread.)
‘Allow My Spirit to brood over you’: this, together with ‘I will hover’, ‘new place of alignment’, ‘My army is beginning to assemble’.. ‘a new demonstration of power beginning to arise’, all remind me of Charles Shamp’s: Prophetic Prayer Points for 2015-2020 published on New Year’s Day and his teaching in A scriptural context of the 4th lunar eclipse of the ‘Blood Moon Tetrad’.
‘Praise and worship..an occupying force…’: More biblical boasting on who Jesus is quotes Pat Schatzline that the days ahead will require a new level of praise.
‘My Names..come into fullness’: echoes Pat’s “bragging” on Jesus’ identity in Old and New Covenants as well as in Hebrew – Let’s continue boasting…

About Chuck:

Charles D. “Chuck” Pierce serves as President of Global Spheres, Inc. (GSI) in Corinth, Texas; an apostolic, prophetic ministry used to gather and mobilize the worshipping Triumphant Reserve throughout the world. He’s also President of Glory of Zion International Ministries, a ministry that aligns Jew and Gentile.

Chuck is well known for an accurate prophetic gifting which helps direct nations, cities, churches, and individuals in understanding the times and seasons in which we live. It was through Rev Dr Sharon Stone in 2004-5 that I learned about his ministry and later I read about Chuck’s vision of ‘crossed swords’ over London and word connected with Big Ben when en-route to Nigeria. The need for action was so urgent they called 40-days intercessory prayers. The teams were to meet at the end of that period but, upon leaving Euston station on foot, Sharon and her companion Martha Lucia were met by the devastated double decker London bus blown up during the bomb attacks on London Transport. (See ‘2005’ sub-pages to Library of Prophecies for UK.)

Also, three years later he had a vision of the United States being divided and separated like the Grand Canyon, as well as in 2013 of a 3-year unlocking and shaking with the War of the Kingdoms. In early 2012 he brought encouragement of the Lord doing a new thing in England. For these and more on this blog click tag ‘Pierce’.

Profound prophetic word: “My people have reached a tipping point”

Posted on Friday, 6 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

This prophetic word brought by James Bailey and published on Z3 News resonates with and amplifies many words received about the Lord’s worldwide action. On a personal note, James’ opening remarks reflect what’s happened this week through God-incidents with this blog and email. James writes:

MY PEOPLE HAVE REACHED A TIPPING POINT

I started noticing changes. It has been over a week ago, increased intensity with increased excitement. It hasn’t gone away. It has increased more. Here is what I heard today:

“Just as the world has reached a tipping point and their fate is sealed and major changes are coming, so have My people reached a tipping point and their fate is sealed and major changes are coming. Just as the world has cast out all restraint and entered into lawlessness, so have My people cast out fear and entered into fellowship, closer fellowship with Me. Because where there is fear there is torment and I do not want My people in torment, but My perfect love casts out all fear until the only thing left is fellowship, loving fellowship.”

“Things are beginning. Things that I have promised from long ago are now coming to pass. This is the day and the hour that you have awaited, that you have wanted to come for so long. Now it is here. Now it has come. I claim you to be My own. Deeper intimacy, this is what you have wanted. It has come. Stronger fellowship, this is what has come, greater peace, greater love, and far greater joy! For you belong to Me now.”

“I want you to walk with Me in fellowship like never before. I want you to know Me. Bind your heart to Me like never before. Make My paths straight before you. Let your feet never veer off course, neither to the right nor to the left, but stay on My path, for I put before you things that I, and only I, have desired from long ago, for you to know. But if you want to discover them, you will only find them on My path, which I put before you.”

“The day and the hour have finally come. My people get ready, for before you I leave an open door, and I say I am that door. So walk in, enter into the fellowship that I set before you. Come into the place. The table is set. The banquet is ready. I have prepared a table before you in the presence of your enemies and they will know that I am before you and you are before Me. They will see it in the midst of you. They will know it and they will declare, I am the Lord God Almighty.”

“Make known my innermost counsel. Make known My plans before men. Make known My heart and My will and My purpose and My plan. Make known all things I declare to you. Make known My will above the plans of men, above the will of men. Make My plans clear. Make them known and let them be established in the earth.”

Lion Bites: the refining fire

Posted on Thursday, 5 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

Today’s Lion Bites word from Glasgow continues the earlier Invite My Fire! and I pray it deeply blesses you too:

THE REFINING FIRE

Are you really ready for the heat to be turned up? With more heat comes more refining, more purity and a heart that ignites, burning with a fire for Him. The Lord is a consuming fire. Will you allow Him to burn up all the dross, so that what is left is pure gold?

Others may not like (they may be challenged by) what you carry. Because of the level of purity they may not be able to stand around you. Nevertheless, sons and daughters of the King, God will use you if you choose to allow Him to turn up the heat and ignite you afresh.

He will use His radiant, ‘on-fire’ ones like lasers. Just as a laser is super-concentrated energy that can cut out diseased flesh (in the hands of a skilled surgeon) to allow for new growth, so He will use those who allow Him to refine in the fire. Choose to be one who goes through the refining: be on fire, be pure, be concentrated, be accurate, be like refined gold. Speak out the Father’s words of life and truth wherever you go.

1 Peter 1:7
…so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

“OPEN up the gates!” decree and prophetic word for the UK

Posted on Wednesday, 4 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

The following came to my attention soon after it was published by SOAR Prophetic International on 25th September. As would be expected, this prophetic word brought by Rebecca King is in harmony with other recent exhortations from Father’s heart for the British Isles. Rebecca is founding director of this Canadian and British international prophetic resource group and writes:

WORD FOR GREAT BRITAIN

I saw a release of angels coming towards us carrying supernatural energy to combat what I can only describe as complacency…. a slumber has come upon people in many cases and opened a door to complacency – which in turn has let in a difficult fatigue and with it a tendency towards laziness. At this point, I felt everything in me speak the command ‘open up the gates’ and at the sound of my voice and the strength of the command, heavy doors flew open. Even in the natural the weight of the doors would prevent this. God is up to something.

I felt the Lord saying to leaders,

“Beware of locking yourself into your own plans and putting community and other leaders on the back burner” (emphasis added).

Priorities will only bear good fruit when they are God’s priorities, and alignment with Sovereign priorities will bring into your storehouse what your heart is longing for – not necessarily sticking to your agenda. His agenda must remain in front and centre for His Kingdom to be established.

This is not a season to ‘maintain. It is a time to put one foot in front of the other and go ahead. Steadily. Do not miss a step – keep in time with the heartbeat of heaven. God is opening ears and bringing a fresh sensitivity to this heartbeat and it will determine they rhythm for you to follow and walk with.

I ‘see’ the Lord handing out white envelopes containing a single piece of paper with the words ‘All Clear’ written on it. These words ‘All Clear’, are words some of you have been waiting to hear but they don’t only relate to physical health. Holy Spirit is saying that the way forward – up to this point blocked by rubble and baggage – has been opened up.

Do not be afraid of what you ‘think you see’ and do not rationalise your situation – it just may stop you from doing exactly what Holy Spirit is asking of you at this time. The word being handed to you in the envelope is ALL CLEAR – and that is the declaration that will move you forward.

I also ‘see’ men and women standing together, dressed in a similar fashion – which shows me a willingness to work and to be together. But unusually, all of the trousers (that each person is wearing) are far too short. Everyone’s – across the board. Not one of them is right. I sense that Holy Spirit is saying that there is an invitation to step into new clothes, of a different size and style for the times ahead. What fit last year is going to make you look silly this year and so the invitation is given to you now. I see a man standing beside all of these men and women, with a tape measure in his hand and a pair of scissors as well and straight pins. Holy Spirit is ‘at the ready’ to get the job done and get you clothed properly. All that is required of you is that you make yourselves vulnerable – in the presence of your peers. Holy Spirit will meet you there and make the necessary adjustments.

So to recap……a choice and a war against complacency, a stepping aside from everything that locks us into our own world and own plans. A great declaration of All Clear’ and a redressing in order to be fully prepared for the new say.

Rebecca King

(Click above title for original post and comments. As with all prophetic words, this is for discernment and weighing against scripture and with the Lord. Rebecca’s reference to ‘complacency’ reminds me of Dr Stone‘s explicit warning of the same in her ‘clarion call’ of October 2013 not to miss our day of visitation – Prophetic words for 2014-16 for UK & Ireland: part 2 refers.)

Confirmation of prophetic word: holy winds of change

Posted on Tuesday, 3 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

After Howling Fresh Wind by Patsy Southway was auto-published on this blog today, I tinkered around with news relating to climate change. Unbeknown to me Angela Jelf was beavering away with a comment on that post and which warrants publication as some may have missed it. Angela writes as follows, and I’ve taken the liberty to show the Lord’s word as a quotation:

Hi Richard,
After reading this, I just felt prompted to share a word that God gave to me on June 15th last year (strangely enough, when I went to find my old journal which I’d written this word down in, lo and behold, it was folded open on exactly the right page!)

“For some time the church in the UK has been battling against a head wind. We’ve had the wind against us. Despite our best efforts, particularly in the area of evangelism, progress has been slow. It’s as though we’ve had the wind and rain in our face, and been buffeted by the elements. There’s been a sense of three steps forward and two steps back. But there is a fresh wind blowing! A wind of change is on the way! It’s the wind of the Holy Spirit and its coming to our aid! It’s a tail wind which will propel us forward! Acceleration is suddenly coming. The Lord has heard our cry, He has seen our growing hunger for breakthrough. Suddenly those things that were difficult will suddenly be done with ease, because it’s not about your effort. Hope is carried on this wind. When you feel this wind you must hoist up your sails! Hoist up your sails and get ready for acceleration! Some of you have longed for things, for salvation for family members, for breakthrough in healings and miracles – let fresh hope arise today for it will surely come about.

“This wind comes upon my church to propel you out! You will go out into the community, to the highways and byways. You will no longer stay hidden behind four walls. This wind will send you OUT and propel you to new horizons.

“This wind also blows through the harvest – it is blowing on the lost and broken, the sinner with the hardest heart – this wind is stirring the harvest. It’s blowing now! I see dandelion clocks, the little seeds caught on the wind. The seed of the gospel will be caught on this wind and will travel far and wide! It will propel the lost and the prodigal into my house. They will not be able to resist this wind as it carries such power. For it’s the wind of my Spirit!”

Praise God – I truly believe the time is now!”

In response to my reply Angela added, “Thanks Richard – I haven’t blogged about it. Just shared it at our church…The wonderful thing is, we are beginning to see a shift. Prodigals are beginning to return, and last week five people responded to the gospel on a course at our church!”

Praise the Lord – more, much more Lord!

Footnote:

The Lord seems to be turning our attention back to this prophetic promise – even halting us in our tracks, turning us around so we don’t miss what He wants us to realise!! That is, He gave a similar word not only to Patsy last May but also to others during the first half of this year about waves and winds, as well as a few years ago in what I’d term a ‘tame tornado’.

See Library and Weighing waves, tsunami & tornado and a turning the tide, to which Tony Puccio reminded me of dreams about a Cleansing wind and Winds of change in 2012 and 2013 respectively. Also, I’m nudged to add and to check the date – it is worth re-reading the important Prophetic word on Hurricane Sandy brought by Revd Dr Sharon Stone THREE YEARS AGO TODAY!

Therefore, I need to urge you and me to ‘NB’ – nota bene; pay especial attention!

PS: note Maray’s thoughts below…

Patsy Southway: howling fresh wind!

Posted on Tuesday, 3 November, 2015 by Richard Barker

As well as harmonising with several recent prophetic words this follow-on from Patsy has a particularly pertinent reference to ‘Acceleration’, which has often been referred to on this blog. Patsy writes:

This morning (Thurs 29th October) I awoke at 5am to a howling wind blowing all around the house. With my window open, I could hear the trees swaying and the many leaves being blown about.

I was reminded that earlier this year, during the month of May, God spoke to me about a FRESH WIND (earlier blog) and this morning as I was listening to a natural wind, He said that

“I am sending another FRESH WIND!”

In this NEW fresh wind, we, his children, are being given a choice. We can choose to embrace what He is doing and flow with that, which means we will be totally out of our depth! OR we can choose to continue in the same way. Doing ‘stuff’ as we have been, or embracing the NEW, it’s all good; but the NEW is better than the OLD!!

Sadly, I saw many people getting offended as this FRESH wind was blowing away strong cobwebs (some established networks, I believe) to make way for the NEW. I was sensing His heart, the desire for us, his sons and daughters, to have a desire to embrace the NEW!

ACCELERATION

I saw an acceleration of AWAKENING! This also, He had already spoken to me about earlier this year. There is an acceleration to RIGHTEOUSNESS – the righteousness of God upon the NATIONS.

Changes in our Governments, Churches, Schools and families were happening as Holy Spirit brings about Heavens plans and strategies. I felt that too many of us, His family, have embraced a mantle of hopelessness where more attention has been paid to news reports rather than what Father is saying and doing. John 5:19

This morning, let’s break off ANY ungodly attachments in Jesus name and embrace this NEW WIND that He is releasing.

PRAYER

As some of you will know, this month we officially started our HOP (A303 House of Prayer) this was in obedience to what God had shown me a few years ago. As I was journaling earlier this week He reminded me of the Prayer Hubs that we will be connecting with across the nations.

As there is a ‘return to prayer’ happening right now, we will see these NEW hubs surfacing. They will be connected by those with a burning passion to see the Kingdom Of God powerfully over their villages, towns and cities with the effects rippling out to ALL the nations. Lastly, as I was reading Johns gospel this morning 6:27/29 the disciples were asking Jesus, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered:

“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”

Amen.
