Simplicity of the Gospel and in Evangelism and in End-Times – Neil Mackereth

I’m grateful to my good friend Neil Mackereth for this paper. I’ve known him since his stimulating summer-time evening courses several years ago in Winchester Vineyard Church. The appendices to this will follow in my series of End-Times Briefings.

SIMPLICITY

Jesus said: “But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.” John 12:32 NIV (other versions say “I, if I be lifted up ……..”)

And: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matt 18:3 NIV

“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” 2 Cor 11:3 KJV

Introduction

The Lord has been laying on my heart the need for simplicity. I have felt a growing urgency for clarity and, in particular, the avoidance of theological obfuscation with words such as ‘theological obfuscation’!

First, I am convinced that we stand on the threshold of an unprecedented outpouring of the Spirit. The associated revival will tax our mental and physical resources – we should be preparing now. Our Gospel message to enquiring non-believers needs to be simple and unmistakable.

Secondly, I feel called to express in plain English the End-Times timeline and why we need to re-engage with those parts of the Bible that Satan has sought to sideline. I see the two stages as closely linked: a mighty revival followed by a rapid advancement of God’s End-Time plan.

End-Times Briefing 9 cont’d: the deep significance of Hourglass & End-times Harvest dream

A couple of hours ago Veronika published this from our dear brother:

“Today I bring yet another striking, in-depth interpretation to the dream I submitted to you all yesterday…my good friend and co-labourer Prophet Abel Praise submits some revelation for the purposes of prayer. ENJOY!!!”

DREAM INTERPRETATION…; “THE GOLDEN REVOLVING DOOR OF THE AGES AND OF ETERNAL DESTINY…AND THE HOUR GLASS OF THE END-TIME HARVEST…!!

‘Oh such great honor that The LORD grants us eyes to see and pours out HIS Spirit that we may discern what The Spirit Of The LORD is saying that we may know how to march in this hour.

‘The profound calling this prophetic dream brings us at this time is a call to contend for; recover; and administer the time-gates; or better put; the prayer-watches assigned to us in this hour; as that is how we will effectively partner with The LORD in birthing in time and eternity; being the earth and the heavens under the jurisdictions we are assigned in this hour; the predestined counsels of great awakening; revivals, victories harvest and advance into territories; the Kingdom is destined to make in this season.

End-Times Briefing 9: Hourglass of End-time harvest – Veronica West

Late yesterday afternoon Veronika posted this on her ministry Facebook. Upon reading it Neil Mackereth, author of SIGNS: The Significance of Bible Prophecy reacted,

“That is very powerful indeed…I also had clear direction that the time of allowing the wheat and the tares to grow together is about to end – the harvest of separation is about to begin.”

I reminded him of my hearing “This is ALL about to be fulfilled!” upon opening my Bible to re-read Matthew 13’s parable of the wheat and tares harvest – see Briefing 1, Why? and The End-game Is Now In Play (we were soon to become good friends).

Here’s Veronika’s Facebook version and this published on His Kingdom Prophecy:

AN URGENCY OF TIME; THE GOLDEN REVOLVING DOOR OF THE AGES and of ETERNAL DESTINY — THE HOURGLASS of the END-TIME HARVEST!

Last night I had a powerful dream that I would like to share for the purpose of Prayer.

This dream was incredibly complex and so I will do my best to describe what I saw, heard and felt in the dream. So please bare with me as I try to share and interpret what I saw, and what I believe The LORD is revealing.

As I woke from the dream in the early hours of the morning, I immediately began to draw what I saw in the dream (see pictures below). Continue reading

Heaven’s perspective on the Covid-19 pandemic – exposure of evil and corruption

I believe a remark made upon Veronika’s Ignite Ireland Ministries Facebook and her reply will be of particular interest to my readers. Also, her answer relates directly to a prophetical musing four years ago on the exposure of evil and corruption, as here.

Upon reading Veronika’s previous post a sister in Brazil asks: “Can I have your thoughts on this subject please. Many prophets have said coronavirus would go away in May. Why are we having this rising cases again? I feel so discouraged right now after seen same states will probably take steps back.” Continue reading

End-Times Briefing 8: Daniel and ‘The Wonderful Numberer’ Jesus Christ

Now we examine one of the sparkling gems, a radiant diamond, found in the treasure trove of Unlocking the Biblical Watch of Messiah’s Return. First a brief recap: 

The Invisible Hand, Victor Dunstan (Megiddo Press 1984)

As at the close of Briefing 7, Victor Dunstan’s reference to three dates, or Time periods of differing length, given in the 12th chapter of Daniel point to 1917, 1948 and 1992, is derived from Dr Grattan Guinness’ mathematical work.  Subsequently, three ‘interlude’ posts tell how Jonathan R Hill has taken that work further in two books. Amongst a veritable plethora of biblical topics and scriptures he examines in-depth the role of ‘The Wonderful Numberer’ – Daniel’s chief supra-natural informant.

In his ‘Introduction’ to Unlocking the Biblical Watch of Messiah’s Return, Jonathan echoes Chuck Missler’s frustration, as quoted in Briefing 5, by noting:

“So many in the Body of Christ are ambivalent towards the Lord’s mandate to watch, but the Lord wants the church to awake! Messiah’s words to the sleeping Peter are the Lord’s words to His living body, who are currently on the earth at the end of this age: “Could you not watch with Me for one hour?” (Matt 26:40 NKJV)

This is followed by, and I’m grateful to Jonathan for his kindly permitting publication (emphases mine): 

‘DANIEL’S VISIONS

‘Daniel was privileged to receive extraordinary visions which were sealed until the ‘time of the end’ when many will run ‘to and fro’ and knowledge will increase. An apt description of our current world when knowledge and data are readily available via the internet.

Daniel 12:4 (NKJV) – “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

‘The prophetic words of the Book of Daniel were sealed until the ‘time of the end’ – confirmed again later in the same chapter (Daniel 12):

Daniel 12:9-10 (NKJV) – And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed ’til the time of the end”. 10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

‘Daniel’s ‘time of the end’ is now.

‘Earlier in the Book of Daniel a ‘when’ question was asked, regarding the desolation of the Temple in Jerusalem. The question was asked to someone called the ‘Wonderful Numberer’ [19]. The questioner (the ‘holy one’) clearly knew that the ‘Wonderful Numberer’ had the answer to the ‘when’ question.

Daniel 8:13 (YLT) – “And I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a certain holy one said to the wonderful numberer who is speaking: ‘Until when [is] the vision of the continual [sacrifice], and of the transgression, an astonishment, to make both sanctuary and host a treading down?’”

‘As will be seen [20], the wisdom of the ‘Wonderful Numberer’, who answered the ‘when’ question, is part of the ‘understanding’ sealed until the ‘time of the end’, when the ‘wise’ will understand. Moreover, the ‘Wonderful Numberer’ will be shown to hold the ‘Key of David’ [21] – the significance of which will be examined in detail [22].’

Notes:

‘[19] The Hebrew word for ‘Wonderful Numberer’ in Daniel 8:13 is ‘Palmoni’ (Hebrew ‘לפלמוני’ – Strong’s number 6422) and is only found once in all scripture . It is a ‘contracted’ word and contains the elements of two Hebrew words. The first is ‘pele’ and the other is ‘ma-na’. The Hebrew word ‘pele’ means ‘wonderful’ (see Isaiah 9:6) and the word ‘ma-na’ means ‘numbered’ (see Daniel 5:25-26). So, this contracted Hebrew word ‘Palmoni’ literally means ‘Wonderful Numberer’”. Taken from F.C. Gilbert’s book, Practical Lessons for the Church of Today, pp. 606-608, published by The Review in 1902.

Gill’s Exposition states: ‘another angel said to him that spoke, whose name is unknown, only called such a one, or ‘Palmoni’, which some render ‘the wonderful numberer’ or ‘the numberer of secrets’ or ‘that has all secrets numbered’; and apply it to Christ, whose name is ‘Pele’, wonderful; the eternal Word of God, that is in the bosom of the Father, and knows all secrets, and the number of times and seasons, how long they will last; what created angels know not, he does; and therefore they apply to him for instruction and knowledge in hidden things.

The ‘Wonderful Numberer’ is found in few translations yet many commentaries acknowledge this translation including Albert Barne’s Commentary, John Gill’s Exposition, Geneva Study Bible, Calvin’s Commentary, John Trapp’s Complete Commentary, Matthew Poole’s Annotations, Treasury of Scripture Knowledge and E. W. Bullinger’s Companion Notes. (See StudyLight.org Verse-by-Verse Bible Commentary Daniel 8:13)

‘[20] See chapter ‘Numbers, Triangles and Pyramids in Scripture’ and section ‘The ‘Wonderful Numberer’ as the Seventh Pyramid’.

‘[21] See chapter ‘Tools of the Watch’ and section ‘The Key of David’.

‘[22] See chapter ‘Tools of the Watch’ and section ‘The ‘Wonderful Numberer’ Holds the Key of David’.’  [Isaiah 22:22 << THAT NUMBER AGAIN! – RB]

Daniel 8:13-21 [Scripture For All Interlinear OT Hebrew]

NB: reference at note 19 to Jesus as knowing hidden things, ie ‘mysteries’, per recent post Kingdom Mysteries – Jesus Points to Mathematics (originally posted 6 April 2018).

Amusing ‘musical-jigsaw’ of End-Time Briefings

Can’t avoid chuckling whenever the Lord’s playing a game with me. Mulling over what I think He’s showing me about my End-Times Briefings, I recalled a prophecy given me in 2009 that, “An impartation like Daniel had is going to come into you and you will start understanding the ‘riddles’ of the Lord in a different way…”

In returning to the next Briefing (No. 8) I’d thought of bringing its originally drafted ‘end’ to its beginning, thereby wrapping up the previous Briefing on my first ‘jigsaw pieces’. Hoping to schedule the new Briefing for weekend reading, I ‘closed’ it last Thursday with:

“Perhaps the above copy pages will whet your appetite to learn more about watching for Jesus’ Return.” BUT I got nudged to continue: “Last year my wife was touched by the Holy Spirit and heard,It’s sooner than you think!” (see Back to Bible Basics: Direct Word on Jesus’ Return and Vision of Iran).

LOL! That reference to Iran takes us full-circle back to start of the ‘Invisible Jigsaw’ over 30 years ago, as told in Briefing 7. So I’d thought of making those remarks a postscript. BUT next, the ‘morning-after high’ brought an insight as I checked and tagged pages in Jonathan Hill’s latest book!

Astonished, I found one CONFIRMS the next Briefing’s number, and thus their sequence!

The full content of this series hadn’t been thought out in any depth but simply published as and when possible. In fact, I’d wanted to publish Briefing 8 in its own right over six months ago!

Chronologically from a personal viewpoint, the whole series would have a very different sequence, viz: No. 7, 5, 1, 2, 3, 8+, 6 and with 4 omitted as it was popped in on a whim! So Christopher Wickland’s vision of the Sign in the Sun would come last! However, what Jesus taught should be foundational and thus began this current series of Briefings.

Moreover, it dawned upon me that one cycle of 7 Briefings has been completed, with an intermission for a mathematical preparation for the next cycle. Thus, we’re starting the next octave as though going up a level, somewhat like musical notes: A, B, C, D, E, F, G (see Wikipedia image). Also likewise, this new cycle begins with examining a particular scripture in some depth.

Furthermore, we could regard the two cycles of Briefings like the staves for the bass and treble clefs in musical scores, our ‘interlude’ on mathematics the space in between them! Or better still: this post is the ‘Middle C’, which is the note that hovers between the two staves.

Bringing prophetic pieces together. How many? 8!

Next, we consider that maybe it wasn’t a ‘star’ or astronomical sign that sent ‘wise men from the East’ looking for a baby born in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago, but a rare wisdom and visions bequeathed by the Hebrew prophet Daniel to a school of prophets??

Update on prophetic words and dreams on US politics

Subsequent to this week’s coverage of prophetic words and dreams on America’s political scene, Tony Puccio posted another dream of yesterday morning:

“This morning as I was praying I saw in a vision a large herd of elephants on the move. I then saw President Trump standing facing the herd. Then I saw one of the elephants come up to him, lower his trunk, and place him on his back. With the President on his back the herd continued its journey.”

Keep watching out to check whether or not these prophecies come to pass…

Truth, Righteousness, Unity , Mercy and Peace will triumph in USA – Veronika West

Veronika’s reference to ancient Jericho on Sunday in response to the previous day’s attack in Reading is reiterated the next day for the USA on Ignite Ireland Ministries:

Credit: Patrick Semansky – AP

Early hours of this morning my phone pinged and I saw this picture of President Donald Trump come up on my newsfeed and immediately I heard the Spirit say, “MY TRUTH RIGHTEOUSNESS, UNITY, MERCY AND PEACE WILL TRIUMPH IN THIS NATION”…,

…and as those words echoed in my spirit I saw an Archangel of the Lord walking beside President Trump and a BLAZING SWORD OF FIRE WAS LIFTED OVER HIS HEAD and I knew by the Spirit that the Spirit of the Lord was upon him…,the RED TIE around his neck was immediately highlighted to me and then the story of RAHAB came up before me..,where Rahab tied a line of scarlet thread in the window through which the spies had been lowered from…and immediately the Holy Spirit quickened to me the Hebrew word ‘TIKVA’ which means…”Cord, Hope, Expectation, Things hoped for, Outcome”…the scarlet cord represents the “LAMBS BLOOD”….,as I began to pray the Lord then showed me the WALLS OF JERICHO and how the Lord gave Jericho into the hands of HIS RIGHTEOUS REMNANT…and it was THROUGH THE WILLINGNESS AND OBEDIENCE OF RAHAB THAT WHEN THE WALLS OF JERICHO CAME TUMBLING DOWN…GODS PEOPLE WERE SAVED…!!

Holy Spirit then whispered to me, “I HAVE GIVEN THE NATION OF AMERICA A RAHAB IN PRESIDENT TRUMP IN THIS HOUR…and because of his willingness and his obedience to My Call….WHEN THE WALLS OF WICKEDNESS ARE DISMANTLED AND WHEN THE WALLS OF DIVISION COME CRASHING DOWN….I SHALL DELIVER MY RIGHTEOUS REMNANT FROM DESTRUCTION…WATCH! FOR MY KINGDOM PURPOSES THROUGH THIS PRESIDENT SHALL TRUMP THE PLANS OF THE ENEMY IN THE DAYS AHEAD”..!

NB: Photo shows Donald Trump returning from a difficult rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but that night the whole state was rattled by a magnitude 4.2 earthquake (report).

Veronika West re-emphasises Nov 2018 prophetic dream and word for US political parties

Having seen the previous post of Tony Puccio’s dream about this coming November’s US presidential election, Veronika remarks:“I had this word in 2018 but I shared it again a few months ago. Interesting in light of the word you shared this morning from Tony. God is speaking clearlyand provides link to Urgent Word for America concerning Republicans & Democrats at His Kingdom Prophecy]. 

Therefore, I now republish this blog’s version:

PROPHETIC DREAM AND WORD FOR US POLITICAL PARTIES – 8 Nov 2018

Posted on her Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook today, this word delivered by Veronika is a spiritual ‘upgrade’ to the ‘Third Term Panic’ cartoon by political cartoonist Thomas Nast published in Harper’s Weekly, 7th November 1874. (It is accredited with being the origin of the ‘Grand Old Party’s’ icon of an elephant and includes the Democrat icon of a mule or ‘jackass’ dressed in a lion skin.)

URGENT WORD FOR AMERICA CONCERNING BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS…!

A WORD TO ALL THE ELEPHANTS (REPUBLICANS), “WATCH! FOR A SUPERNATURAL ACCELERATION IS COMING UPON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THEY WILL BECOME UNSTOPPABLE AND UNCONTAINABLE, THERE WILL BE AN EVEN GREATER SHAKE-UP, BOTH POLITICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY, TAKING PLACE OVER THE LAND; WATCH AND PRAY! FOR THERE WILL BE A BREAKING OF THE BACKS OF MANY DONKEYS (DEMOCRATS) IN THE DAYS AHEAD, THEIR CRIES WILL GO UNHEARD FOR GOD HAS HARDENED THE HEARTS OF THEIR TASK MASTERS…!

A few nights ago I had a VERY STRANGE AND PECULIAR DREAM; In this dream I heard a strange sound it was like the sound of the rumbling of thunder in the far distance, as I listened the sound grew louder and louder and the ground beneath my feet began to shake and tremble, then I could feel a wind begin to blow across the place I was standing in and suddenly I saw in the distance a LARGE HERD OF ELEPHANTS STAMPEDING ACROSS THE LAND. Now in the dream as I looked with great astonishment at these incredibly large and powerful creatures it was quickened to me by the Spirit that I was being shown something beginning to unfold concerning the Nation of America. As I looked at this great herd of Elephants stampeding across the land I heard these words,

“WATCH! FOR WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO IN THIS NATION WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE AND UNCONTAINABLE, FOR THERE IS NOW COMING AN EVEN GREATER SHAKING BOTH SPIRITUALLY AND POLITICALLY TO THIS NATION, WATCH! FOR MY HAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE IS NOW MOVING TO SHAKE, SHIFT AND SIFT THIS NATION”!

Then suddenly the dream shifted and I saw a small herd of DONKEYS walking towards me. Now as I looked at these donkeys I saw that they were HEAVY LADEN carrying a great number of clay bricks upon their backs. As I looked again I saw that there was a man walking behind them with I long stick and he was beating many of the donkeys shouting at them to keep walking, then suddenly I saw one of the donkeys collapse under the great weight of its load and the man with the stick immediately ran over to the creature and began to beat the animal, I saw that the animal was dying but the man began to kick the donkey and shouted even louder telling it to get up and walk, but the donkey was severely exhausted and I watched as the animal lay down and died. Then I watched as the man unloaded the bricks from the dead donkey’s back and proceeded to load up the clay bricks upon the other donkeys who were already heavy laden and then I watched as the man left the dead donkey’s corpse behind him and then began to beat upon the backs of the donkeys that were now carrying the extra load. Then I heard these words,
“WATCH! FOR THE BACKS OF MANY DONKEYS WILL BE BROKEN AND THEY SHALL PLEAD FOR MERCY BUT THEIR CRIES WILL GO UNHEARD AND UNHEEDED, FOR I HAVE HARDENED THE HEARTS OF THEIR TASK MASTERS”! (The dream ended)

LISTEN, WATCH AND PRAY; “Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed–without remedy. When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan”!

Let us PRAY; FOR THE GOVERNMENT AND THE CHURCH IN THIS HOUR, LET’S SEEK GOD’S FACE FOR WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWLEDGE, STRENGTH, POWER, COUNSEL AND THE FEAR OF THE LORD.

PS; PLEASE PRAY AND WEIGH AND SHARE AS THE SPIRIT LEADS.
RB’s Footnote: This reminds me of the warnings Revd John Kilpatrick has received for America, especially this received two weeks after Donald Trump’s inauguration:

(The Lord said), “Tell the people that the middle-ground has now disappeared! It’s either going to be evil or it’s going to be Godly!
“Tell them! Tell them it’s either going to be evil or it’s going to be Godly”. He said, “The evil will be evil still and the righteous will be righteous still. There is no middle-ground any more!...”

Quote

I had a dream on June 20th. In the dream I saw a huge elephant. The elephant was sitting on a donkey’s lower back so that its hind legs were flattened and its front legs were out in front of it. In the dream the donkey was screaming out in pain but it could not get out […]

Prophetic warning and words: Battle for the Gates of the Nation

Posted Saturday 13th June 2020

A week to the day after Lisa Tierney posted a call to pray against random stabbings a Libyan terrorist ran amok killing three people in Forbury Gardens in central Reading, Berkshire.

Yinka Oyekan, pastor of The Gate in Tilehurst, Reading, posted on this prophetic word on his Facebook yesterday:

THE BATTLE AT HAND IS A BATTLE FOR THE GATES OF THE NATION 

(Last night I I started the evening in tears and deep grief and pain over the senseless killings in a beautiful public garden in our town, I stayed up to pray and Father downloaded this word to me)

“I am calling the United Kingdom back to righteousness

“Understand this, my heavenly activity always attracts demonic opposition. Therefore, speak to my Daughters, speak to Bristol, Reading, Southampton, Kent, London and Birmingham. Speak and do not be silent; tell my daughters to raise up their watchmen pick up their shields, strengthen their gates, gather their nobles and sound their trumpets, let her priests burn incense .

“Tell Bristol that she shall be a breaker of chains. I have seen her people throw of the stench of historic abuse, I have watched them cast down her idols and throw off the yoke of slavery. Tell Bristol I will give her a new identity, I will fight for her, heal her and restore her. Tell her to turn to me that she might have clean garments.

“A great renewal is coming to Reading, but it will be through much sifting. The Gates have been shaken, but I have heard her cry and seen her tears. I promised you My glory shall visit, and the time is drawing close; speak to Reading say to her ‘Fear not precious daughter for your gates shall be fortified, you were a place people passed through, but no longer, you shall be a place people flock to, a great spiritual awakening is coming’.

“Tell Southampton that she will be a beacon of light. I will ease her infrastructure and lighten her load, for she has spoken up and eased the burden of my people.

“Speak to Kent and tell her to get ready. She shall be a source of a new cultural renaissance. Call it forth, speak it out, declare it, says the Lord. No longer on the edge but at the centre of an artistic and cultural awakening

“Speak to Birmingham and remind her that she is called to leadership. Let the sleeping giant rise for you will be more than the heartbeat, you will be a source of great economic strength for you have laboured on behalf of the poor.

“Speak to London and remind her to be kind, to be patient to serve. Tell her watchmen, I am still in the process of redistributing power, what you see is not the end of the story, there is more to come, for the old power structures are being dismantled. But I will still strengthen Elizabeth for she honours me, I will take her along a new path but she will have to be a peacemaker for she fears My name, her wisdom will be called upon, and I will bless William for his compassion, his charity and his love for his fellow man, a man in whom there is no guile.

“Tell my daughters that as in the days of Daniel, angelic help is on the way. Daniel prayed with perseverance – do likewise.

“And Son don’t be discouraged, remember I am with you”

In the early hours as I prayed my heart was greatly strengthened my spirit revived and my pain eased although the deep sense of grief remains as I feel the pain of my town weigh heavy on me. Pray for the families affected in our town.

THE READING TERROR ATTACK; FORBURY GARDENS…”THE LION OF JUDAH IS ROARING AT THE GATES….THE POWERS OF THE ENEMY SHALL BE PUSHED BACK…THE WALLS SHALL FALL AS MY GLORY RISES IN THE NATION”…!!

Last night as the news broke about a terror attack in FORBURY Gardens in Reading my heart cry was Father have Mercy…,as those words came out of my mouth I heard the sound of the ROAR OF THE LION OF JUDAH….and I saw the FORBURY LION STATUE come up before me and I heard these words…“THE LION OF JUDAH IS ROARING AT THE GATES OF THIS NATION”…,as I heard the Lion of Judah Roar I saw a battle unfolding in the realm of the Spirit and I heard these words…”There is a battle for the Gates of this Nation”...but then I saw His Glory at the Gates….I saw the Captain of Angel Armies and a multitude of Warring Angels at the Gates and I heard the Spirit say,

“LISTEN!!! FOR THE ROAR OF THE LION OF JUDAH CAN BE HEARD AT THE GATES OF THIS NATION….BUT WATCH FOR JUST LIKE THE WALLS OF JERICHO THAT CAME TUMBLING DOWN, SO THE WALLS OF RACISM, INJUSTICE, DIVISION AND DESTRUCTION WILL COME CRASHING DOWN…I say to you Beloved, it’s time to Rally the Troops, to Awaken the Mighty Warriors for a Battle waits at the Gates…but I say FEAR NOT for My Glory shall Arise to push back the powers of darkness that threaten to overthrow the Destiny of this Nation…I say this Nation shall BE SAVED AND THE GATES SHALL BECOME A DOORWAY THAT LEADS TO TRANSFORMATION AND REFORMATION IN THE NATION”..!

AMEN and again AMEN.

Historical Footnote:

References to battle for this nation are historically resonant because centrally placed, the Forbury Gardens would possibly have been the perimeter of the Viking camp built 1,150 years ago at the river Thames’ south-bank confluence with the river Kennett during their invasion and attempt to conquer Wessex. The future king Alfred and reigning brother Aethelred’s army got close to the encampment only to be beaten back by the emerging Vikings (Reading Museum and Wikipedia Battle of Reading). The Forbury Gardens are situated on land at the western end of Reading Abbey, as established in AD 1121 by Henry I (see paper for town churches’ spiritual mapping).

Unlocking the Biblical Watch of Messiah’s Return – Jonathan R. Hill

In our considering principles behind use of numbers and associated basic mathematics in the Bible, my catching up with the following news is timely – I’m pleased to learn that author Jonathan R. Hill is finding his researches also connect into Time!

Here’s the proofreaders’ clear recommendation circulated for Jonathan’s new book:

‘In this new book Jonathan reinforces the straightforward, but profound, mathematical principles of triangular and pyramid numbers and how they help reveal and reinforce wonderful truths in the Bible, using the numerical equivalents for the letters in each word in the original Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible.

‘These principles were initially studied in his first book (on The Sign Miracles of John – RB: as herein) and the results were fascinating, revealing important concepts that are relevant for both the Church and Israel in these end times. They now lay a strong foundation for this ‘Biblical Watch for Messiah’s Return’. These numbers are used in the studies themselves and help us to understand the types involved, and also the time periods that connect the important events that are highlighted.

‘Also included in this book are details of and revelations about the Jubilee Cycle, the important and ‘high’ numbers that there are in Scripture (like ‘120’), the time of day of Christ’s resurrection, the reason Anna had to wait 84 years to see the Messiah, the importance of the Balfour Declaration in 1917, the Armistice in 1918, the World Economic Conference of 1933, the 9/11 attack in 2001, the rescue of the Chilean miners in 2010 and even Brexit!

‘Jonathan also shows how the ‘Key of David’ gives ‘understanding’ in God’s presence and what ‘leaven’ means for the Church today.

‘It truly is a book which explores and explains the concepts that are needed to study, and ‘watch’ for, Messiah’s (Jesus’) return at the Rapture for his Bride, the Church.

‘This book is, in my opinion, the most important Christian book for the Church in the first quarter of this 21st Century.

‘May I encourage you to order a copy (and also the previous one on the Sign Miracles, if you’ve not already got it) and be blessed?

‘Jonathan’s website JR Hill – Books has links to buy both books and also his ‘New Watch Events’ page.

‘I have read both books out loud to Pat (as we have been proof-reading them). We have found that reading them to each other has really helped us both to understand the truths and the concepts they contain, and they truly leave us with hope for the future.

‘We commend this teaching to you.

‘Many blessings’

‘Keith and Pat’

Next, we learn the identity of one of Daniel’s sources as his ‘Wonderful Numberer’ >>

Kingdom mysteries – Jesus points to mathematics

[First posted 6 April 2018 as A Post-Resurrection Miracle as a ‘Mystery’ Now Revealed]

His disciples came to Jesus and said, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” and He replied, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For whoever has, to him (and her) more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. Therefore, I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand…” (Matthew 13:10-13 NKJV)

Definition: ‘Mystery’, Greek musterion (moos-tay-ree-on; Strongs #3466). From mueo, “to initiate into the mysteries”, hence a secret known only to the initiated, something hidden requiring special revelation. In the NT the word denotes something that people could never know by their own understanding and that demands a revelation from God. The secret thoughts, plans and dispensations of God remain hidden from unregenerate mankind, but are revealed to all believers. In non-biblical Greek musterion is knowledge withheld, concealed or silenced. In biblical Greek it is truth revealed (Col 1:26). NT musterion focuses upon Christ’s sinless life, atoning death, powerful resurrection and dynamic ascension.’ [New Spirit-Filled Study Bible]

The above, ancient meaning of ‘mystery’ is rarely understood and appreciated, even by those solidly grounded in scripture. As told in my testimony, my pre-Christian life got immersed in that esoteric knowledge, and so I’m experienced in this matter and can attest that the difference between that discipline and holy revelations from the Almighty is like the contrast between His Light and the devil’s darkness.

Astonishing mathematics within Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1

In examining End-times we’ve completed 7 items beginning with scriptures on the who, why, when and what of watching, followed by an eschatologist’s challenge, a pastor’s vision and (my pre-Christian) unbeliever’s confrontation with the Bible and events!

Being the 8th Briefing, the next will begin another cycle and visit unusual scripture before venturing into others’ valuable insights. An interlude spent on three previous posts will help our understanding of what’s ahead.:

In mid-September 2016, as told here, a mathematician was writing about his favourite formula whilst I was reading about the very same thing buried deep in holy writ!

A multitude of times I’ve noticed crazy coincidences cropping up to give confirmation and more instruction upon certain topics, as though the Lord’s got His hammer and hitting me between the eyes to get my attention! This ‘God-incident‘ is the most extraordinary so far coming almost ‘simultaneously’ from both a secular, scientific standpoint and two fundamental scriptures.

An anniversary-cum-birthday holiday brought me opportunity to read a book at long last after a non-stop busy Summer. So I grabbed a couple from my pile, one of which, Unlocking the Sign Miracles of John by Jonathan R Hill, seemed on the lines of what I’d heard John Kilpatrick saying about the ‘sign miracles’ in the Gospel of John.

Flicking through it I noticed many references to the ‘Consummation of the Age’ (including chapter on its ‘mathematical foundation’), the ‘end-time’ prophetical significance of those miracles, as well as typologies, numerical aspects of Hebrew and Greek alphabets and calculations of time periods. Now, I take the last with a pinch of salt as they need careful checking, but am willing to consider and weigh new, even radical, concepts that don’t contradict scripture.

Although occasionally I ‘bang on’ about the ‘British Brainwashing Cult’, a.k.a. ‘Brussels’ Broadcasting Club’, I’ve been wary of wasting my time on so-called conspiracy theories – some of which do make valid arguments. However, since hearing the Lord’s reply to my asking about the origin of Covid-19 (“It is man-made”), I’m more keenly aware of the increase in diabolical schemes to prevent what the Lord’s doing prior to His Return.
Wanda’s stark warning wisely points to the course church leaders should now be taking to enable the Bride of Christ prepare for ruling and reigning with Him.

We are divided. We may all love God, hold fast to scriptural integrity, and have compassion for the lost, but we are still divided as the Church. But it’s not because of our theological bents or doctrinal differences. It’s because we’re being lied to, and many sincere believers are falling for the bait. The issues…

End-Times Briefing 7: New Ager sees first pieces of God’s ‘jigsaw’

How a New Age follower got hooked into the Bible’s prophecies.

A unique take from die-hard anti-Christian confronted by facts in non-Christian book!

As an ex-unbeliever rescued by Jesus Christ in person and ‘born-again’ by Holy Spirit into life everlasting through His sinless blood, I reiterate Chuck Missler’s concern:

“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!”

The aim of these Briefings is to help my readers be better informed and thus grasp that truth. If an ardently anti-church guy deeply involved in New Age teachings, who viewed ‘Bible-bashers’ as bigots, could grasp and keep hold of this mind-blowing stuff, then how much easier is it for believers in Jesus to fully appreciate these things?

So, come on a revelatory journey with me: Continue reading

“Let Light…Let Love…” virtual choir

Nina and I were privileged to be involved with this beautiful song which premiered at 5 pm today (Friday 5th June). :

‘Let light, Let love’ was written by Encore Choirs’ leader Josh Robinson during the coronavirus global pandemic. The song was a chance to use the power of music to bring people together in an unprecedented time. The song gives a message of hope and light. The project was in aid of Age UK, for those who are more vulnerable and less likely to get the communication during this time. We want to ensure everyone is connected, and by using the power of music we can lift peoples’ spirits.

Click for Encore Choirs’ Home and Online Choir pages and Facebook. (PS. This song has since been played on local radio stations and featured in three local newspapers.)

A set of this video’s cleverly crafted images immediately brought to my mind what Jean Darnall heard in 1967: Continue reading

End-Times Briefing 6: pastor’s ‘Sign in the Sun’ vision warns of coming global cataclysm!

Those following these Briefings will appreciate the direct relevance of Sign #27 to this video and transcript, for which I’m grateful for Carolyn Stewart’s very helpful expertise and schedule.

On Wednesday 27th May pastor Christopher Wickland posted this alarm or warning on what’s soon to hit the world. (To date, his November 2019 prophecy of a great humbling then spiritual revival of Britain is accurate.) As with all prophecies, please seek the Lord in weighing this vision.

In NKJV, Christopher’s Luke reference is headed ‘The Coming of the Son of Man’:

“Welcome to another thought for the day. Today I have quite a serious message and one which probably many Christians will find a little bit hard to stomach. I will start with this piece of scripture, then I will get straight into it. Continue reading

End-Times Briefing 5: expert’s excitement – few know this…

This post, one of my first blogs in November 2011, later featured on the Home page to inform visitors of the acceleration of prophetic fulfillment, as may be inferred from the links to confirmatory events two years later:

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!  It’s about  ‘The Last Days’, as in the ancient Torah’s description: Acharit Hayamin, ie. ‘Last of the Years’, and were regarded as the years immediately following Jesus’ ministry.  Nowadays, they’re also known as the ‘End-times’.

So let me take you for a very brief visit into one of my favourite video classes where (the late) Dr Chuck Missler is asking 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.

Prophetic interpretation of Veronika’s ‘US Seesaw’ dream

Yesterday Veronika followed up those two dreams about America and the nations:

I submit to you all a powerful prophetic submission sent to me this morning by a trusted friend and highly anointed Seer himself, and a man that truly carries a mantle to interpret dreams and visions. Here below, Prophet Abel Praise goes ahead to share what The LORD has revealed to him concerning the two dreams that I posted late last night.:

While reading his insights from The LORD, I am compelled to share them with those of you who take seriously the need for fervent and unrelenting prayer in this hour for the Nations…. for the nations are now at a divine tipping point!

(Please prayerfully consider sharing the insights below with your prayer partners and teams for there are many powerful prayer strategies and prophetic revelations that are being revealed… for such as time as this. )

“Pleasant Morning Dear Ma,

I trust you are well,

Always a great honor and delight reading what The Spirit Of The LORD is revealing through you.  Truly; very significant times and a call for wisdom.

Some very, very important highlights and prophetic call to action the dream reveals.  The boundary lines speaks of the priestly offices that bear the geographical authority of territories.

This posture reveals what the call to attention is; the geographical authority of lands and territories; the leadership across territories of lands and nations.

Then The WORD; “Watch [Prophetic] for The Weight of My Glory [Apostolic] will counter-act [Attorney] the wickedness and witchcraft in the Nations of the Earth; highlights the instrument of warfare — The Alignments of The Apostolic-Prophetic-Attorneys ministries are the instruments of war; whose significant governmental-revelatory-intercessory function will counter-act; will provoke a summoning for the wickedness and witchcraft playing out in the lands to be numbered and measured in the scales in Heaven’s Court; for a toppling of the twin evils of wickedness and witchcraft that have stood in a significant mountain in the nations of the earth.

This is what is revealed in Revelation 8; the prayers of the saints when rising and filling it’s measure became the censer in the hand of the Angel who then offered it; and the response being the decrees established in Heaven’s Court that went forth as lightnings, thunders, voices into the earth.

“And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.  And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.  And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake,”  Revelation 8:2-4.

Discerning the prophetic call to actions in prophetic newsletters from Heaven is significant to partnering and laboring to see the prophetic word fulfilled.

This is also what the next part of the dream emphasizes;  the unbalanced scales of Justice with bowls filled with all sorts of evil; the enemy dancing at the top of it; showed a perverse altar with strange demonic presence seated at a significant mountain that covers the nations.

The prophetic posture of intercession and crying out for Justice and Judgment you had in the dream; shows the prophetic posture and call to action required of The Body of Christ in this hour; the apostolic-prophetic-attorneys wielding intercessory power, the authority of witnesses; and the authority of representatives in heavens court praying in alignment will provoke the summoning of perverse wickedness and witchcraft to be weighed and measured in the scales.

Through the posture of prophetic intercession; The Spirit Of The LORD said; “Can the bowl that is full be emptied”?  Then the response; “Watch [Prophetic] for The Weight of My Glory [Apostolic] will counteract [Attorney] will counteract the wickedness and witchcraft in the Nations of the Earth.”

We must understand that; if the measure of sins of a land be full; two things are in view; either the time-cycle of iniquity could have been completed and ready to be judged and dethroned; or like the time of The Prophet Jeremiah; a righteous nation has fallen in sin and the enemy is at the point of laying accusations and presenting witnesses to gain a right to subdue that nation.

As it was spoken of The Israelites how they had murmured and tried The LORD ten times while in the wilderness and it was determined after the counting and numbering of ten; that they couldn’t enter the promise.

Also at the time when Jacob was to be redeemed from Laban;  the Angel said concerning this; how Laban had changed the wages of Jacob ten times.

We see again that after the counting and numbering of ten; a determination went forth for his redemption.

Discerning significant times like these through revelation by The Spirit Of The LORD can be what establishes a new generational season of righteousness for a nation.

These are usually significant times, tipping points, decision-making moments in Heaven’s Court that determines the direction of a nation for a season.

The prophetic call for intercession is now going forth through this significant prophetic dreams; as the call to action; and The LORD showing what the results will be; like Revelation 8; there would be the release of a Golden Plumbline that restores Righteousness and Justice; the Rains of Fire and Glory that will usher in restoration in the Nations of the Earth.

The second dream is also like unto the first.  The first dream highlights an International Mountain of Nations; while the second dream highlights The Mountain Of The Nation Of USA.

These are two significant prophetic newsletters from The Courts of Heaven showing two territories at a significant tipping point; and the call for the ministries that will effect a change through intercession and the wisdom to administer righteousness and justice in Heaven’s Court.

The seesaw is also speaking of The Scales And Balance; the Pivot with Trump; speaks of The Presidential Mountain of The USA; the donkeys and elephants within the American political sphere speaks of democrats and republicans.

However; elephants prophetically also represents The Glory; being Apostolic Governmental authority of reformation.

The prophetic rendering of Trump as [Truth, Righteousness, Unity, Mercy, Peace] is deeply significant; and a prophetic mystery that points to territories that marks the presidential authority of USA.

However; for understanding and gaining the posture The Spirit Of The LORD is calling us to bear.  The Presidential Authority and the territory assigned to the Presidency of The USA is being revealed; as significant in this hour for the discerning to labor through and cry out to The LORD; for wickedness, witchcraft and perversions to be put on the scales; for measurings, numberings to take place; and a restoration of the righteous covenants of these territories unto The LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST.

As Daniel wrote;

“In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of The LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
And I set my face unto The LORD God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: And I prayed unto The LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments…” 
  Daniel 9:1-5.

To him that have ears…  “This is The Hour Of Wisdom”.

Warm Regards,
Abel Praise

RB Footnote: 

Abel’s references to Heaven’s Court are particularly interesting in view of my reading about operating there when presenting testimonial evidence against claims engineered by The Accuser against a worship song. (It was a veritable ‘courtroom drama’!)  By ‘God-incidence’ I found a helpful, unread book in our library and cannot, therefore, recommend it highly enough:
