VERY important not to miss this connection in what’s happening behind the scenes… Upon seeing Veronika’s graphics and her message of yesterday morning, I recalled my previous day’s last post The Truth continues to emerge and the 7th item within that post (which itself was a second set of 7 relating to President Trump) because it links to Monday evening’s publication by The Gateway Pundit as follows (click image for link thereto):
Therefore, I drew Veronika’s attention to the similarity of topic and meaning in Trump’s statement, albeit from a political rather than distinctly spiritual significance. “WOW!” was her reaction after reading it. So here’s the brief video (pls bear with poor sound quality!) with published transcript for you to assess, weigh and pray over:
President Trump: “As everybody knows, my family, your great country and your president have gone through a terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people. They have done everything possible to destroy us and by so doing have very badly hurt our nation. They know what they are doing is wrong. But they put themselves far ahead of our great country. Weeks ago and again yesterday courageous Republican politicians and leaders had the wisdom, fortitude and strength to do what everyone knows was right. I don’t like people who use their faith for justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor, do I like people who say, “I pray for you,” when they know that that’s not so. So many people have been hurt. We can’t let that go on.”
As with Veronika’s hearing Holy Spirit Wednesday morning that “…HIS J.USTICE SHALL –U.NDO TO MAKE WAY FOR THE –N.EW,..FOR HIS KINGDOM PLANS AND PURPOSES SHALL BE FULLY –E.XECUTED IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”..” and her citing older prophetic words from last year, then this latest clearly implies those are about to come to fruition; so too the re-broadcasting of this video from November 2019 by General Mike Flynn must be a strong indication that Donald Trump’s implicit action-plan is now definitely proceeding…for the video closes with these screens.:
The following prophetic word Veronika posted this morning in stages shown, is offered for weighing and testing (as with every prophecy, per home page’s Prophecy Protocol) – and to hear from the Lord as to whether it may relate to what was blogged on Tuesday, as will be developed in the next post:
…HIS J.USTICE SHALL –U.NDO TO MAKE WAY FOR THE –N.EW,..FOR HIS KINGDOM PLANS AND PURPOSES SHALL BE FULLY –E.XECUTED IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”..
As I shared earlier,..as I woke this morning the Holy Spirit spoke to me about how we have now entered into a time and a season where we will begin to see His Justice cause the THIEF NOT ONLY TO ‘PUT BACK’ WHAT HE STOLE,…BUT ALSO TO ‘PAY BACK’ WITH SEVEN-FOLD INCREASE,…
…now as I listened to the Lord speak,..I then heard Him say,… “WATCH!..AS THE MONTH OF JUNE MARKS A KEY TIME AND SEASON WHERE I SHALL BEGIN TO BRING DIVINE •JUSTICE AND JUDGMENT THAT WILL •UNDO WHAT THE ENEMY DID,..FOR NOW A •NEW AND SUPERNATURAL PARADIGM SHIFT IS TAKING PLACE,…AS MY KINGDOM PLANS AND PURPOSES ARE BEING FULLY •EXECUTED IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”…!
As I pondered this word in my heart the Holy Spirit quickened to me a powerful dream I shared with you all,…
Below here is part of the Dream;
America: The Curse Will Be Reversed
October 7, 2020 Veronika West
A powerful dream concerning The United States of America.
“The curse will be reversed, and out of the belly of the beast will come seven-fold Recompense and Restoration,” says The Spirit of The LORD.
As promised, I would like to share a powerful dream I received on Sunday night, for the purpose of Prayer and Intercession!
Please bare with me, as I endeavour to share exactly what I saw and what I heard, and with the understanding I received as the dream unfolded.
This dream is probably up there with some of the most powerful and yet strangest of dreams I have received to-date!
Let’s begin. I went to bed Sunday night feeling a great sense of burden for the nations, especially for The United States of America.
With the unfolding news on President Trump being diagnosed with COVID-19, I felt such a battle raging in the heavens over the President and his destiny, and certainly for the destiny of the nation.
So as I lay down to sleep, there was a great sense of swirling and whirling in the realm of The Spirit, but as I closed my eyes and began to pray in The Spirit, a deep peace came upon me!
•••The Thief Has Been Caught and Must Pay Back Seven Times•••
I must have only been asleep a few hours when I was taken into a powerful dream encounter, where I saw a very large tree standing far in the distance.
As I looked at the tree, I immediately noticed that there was something hanging in the tree, but I could not see with any clarity what it was.
As I started to make my way towards the tree, suddenly I heard these Words, “The thief has been caught and must pay back seven times!”
As those words echoed in the realm of The Spirit, the atmosphere in the dream became heavy and I felt the weight of God’s Glory surround me. The Spirit of The Fear of The LORD became tangible and I began to pray loudly in tongues.
Quickly checking on Dr Rhodes regarding ‘Tell-tale Sign’ #6 re Insurrection Act and then news items on the election audit I was led to post the following items on my Facebook timeline – then realised there’s again 7 jigsaw pieces, and the 7th is THE smackeroo:
The following is a lengthy, complex citation of evidence (read in full here). So I provide only a few snippets to give a sense of the content and author Joe Hoft’s argument (his emphases retained): Continue reading →
I enjoy reading whilst basking in the sun and read hard-copies of the full, 8-pages each, articles constituting the next two ‘signs’ indicative of the necessity of Donald J. Trump’s early return to office as President. So please get ready for a couple of highly informative long-reads!
Several times earlier this year I postulated an equation summing up America’s situation, viz:
Italian investigative journalist Cesare’s opening to his long, linked article quotes from:
Dr Laurie Roth writes in ‘Are the military and Trump in control?’ that, “Regarding the speculation/confusion as to whether President Trump signed the Insurrection Act or not – he did. He signed it on Jan 14th, 2021.” Also, she claims that the signing of the act would give President Trump an extension of two months of his Presidential powers – and repeated.
Cesare explains at length and develops upon her argument, of which I present a few snippets (emphases mine): Continue reading →
Perhaps this news coming on the eve of the 77th anniversary of D-Day landings of allied troops in Normandy against the Nazi regime may have a double-entendre? This exercise may make more sense when considered with other signs yet to be posted.

SIGN 2 – CLAIM OF RETURN
Today’s exercise to protect the US Capitol building is notable coming as it does after a busy week of events relating to last weeks news that started with The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman claiming Donald Trump’s been telling a few contacts that he may be back in office this August. I didn’t cover that because it seemed a rumour from the MSM – YET President 45 may well have been dropping teasing hints! More important, however, was the opening up of this can of worms/snakes:
“Had it not been for MSM’s five years’ continual, irrational hatred of Trump, the world would have accepted that he was correct about the pandemic’s origin. Now that is being proved, it paves the way for his claim about the criminally fraudulent 2020 election becoming proven and widely accepted.” (One of several who prayed for him at his Inauguration, Franklin Graham, subsequently attests, “Trump has a track record of being right”.)
NB: these signs exclude the imminent outcome of the forensic audit of voting in Arizona and other key states in November’s election! AND there’s a couple more signs to follow.
Readers may recall my blogging about this bio-weapon, after having heard the Lord tell me CV-19 is a “Man-made virus” (24 March 2020), in Fulfilled Prophecy #10.10 and its God-incidental continuation on Trump vs corrupt WHO. Here’s Dianne Marshall’s take:
Rand Paul says he has exposed the truth about Dr. Fauci. First he funded the Wuhan lab that potentially created the COVID-18 virus. Then he lied to our faces, repeatedly, while he profited from the pandemic.
And this was met with retaliation. “They want me silenced FOR GOOD”, he says. “Just this week they sent an envelope with white powder to my house to terrorize my family. Reporters and celebrities are calling for violence against me. All for daring to question the status quo! This is beyond frightening, but I will not be intimidated.”
That is our message to stand and not be frightened or intimidated. As hard as that can be, we have the Lord within and the Holy Spirit guiding us…talk about SUPER POWERS!!! Remember greater is he who is IN YOU than he who is in the world! [..continue at…]
Thank you to my friend (and author of a useful book outlining Prophets of the Bible) for having inserted a link to this helpful summary in a Fbk discussion thread about the Glory and Jesus’ return – don’t you love his play on words in the above title!
Teaching concerning the Rapture (definition given below) continues to divide Christians who give the subject of Jesus Second Coming much thought, which sadly many these days do not. We live in, as I have often remarked, a paradigm when polarization among Christians is on the markedly increase. There are the fundie-leaning Evangelicals and the liberal-leaning Evangelicals […click to continue reading at…] The Rapture revisited — JRB Publications
In line with yesterday’s prophetic word on political change in USA from Robin Bullock, and further to my many posts about Trump’s rally on 6th January moving to the US Capitol, here’s Dianne Marshall on what’s now emerged about police action on that day:
We said this from the first moment it happened. But, the evil fake news and liar Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell paid cabal puppets lied and bore false witness! We all knew the reason they went to the underground bunkers is because they had paid thugs to bomb the Capitol but those weapons of destruction had been intercepted – but the evil coup plotters did not know this. Their evil plans were foiled and laid bare for all to see who had eyes to see and ears to hear the truth that they saw with their own eyes on the day this transpired!
But it is well to hear that now FAKE NEWS CABAL can no longer lie against the truth! […continue…]
You may recall my sighting yesterday’s widespread online headlines across the ‘Pond’ on questions being raised on US chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci’s knowledge of the origins of Covid, and which prompted my immediate thought: ‘Maybe this is the start of Donald Trump’s return as POTUS?’
That prompted me to blog right away about that news, which is most unusual for a Friday. It’s ‘fortuitously coincidental’ a change in our usual routine with Nina’s being away with one of our daughters, meant I could work online this morning.
It also meant my evening meal would be taken alone and, for once, I decided to watch YouTube on TV whilst munching away. The very first item listed thereon was broadcast only a few hours earlier, in a land where it was around midday! Its very apposite title grabbed my attention and so I played it straight away – see what you think…I’ve set it to start as Robin moves from worship and begins to prophesy (hope you can read captions in the screenshots and you may find it useful to set video captions running):
AS PROPHESIED, EXPOSURE OF INTERNATIONAL, DEEP-STATE POLITICAL CORRUPTION AND ROT IS ACCELERATING – FAST!
It’s so obviously in God’s timing that I’m not taking our usual long weekend break as my wife is away for a couple of days; otherwise I wouldn’t be able to cover this until next week. SO thank you Lord for this novel kind of blessing! Furthermore, Kitty is just wandering around the desk as I type, and hinting, “The cat’s out of the bag!”
After publishing the previous post on yesterday’s news over the Pond I supped a cuppa soup with a sandwich on this rainy, cooler day, but I got a nudge to check The Gateway Pundit and espied more news issued at 07.30 Eastern US time (12:30 pm UK):
The report starts:
‘Adam Housley tweeted that he is being told the increased pressure on the scientific community to be open to and to review the theory that the China coronavirus was made in a laboratory in recent days is due to a defector with intimate knowledge bringing intel to the US that the coronavirus was leaked from a lab in Wuhan.
‘Corrupt FBI Director Wray didn’t know right away because lower-level FBI Agents wanted to make sure they got all they needed before telling him. Note those in the FBI do not trust Director Wray so they kept this from him as long as possible.’
Checking this morning’s Koenig’s World Watch Daily selection of headlines, which covers primarily news on Israel and the Middle-East, I noticed it’s started covering the scandal of US deep-state’s cover-up over the Wuhan laboratory being the known-source of CV-19.
Here’s screen-grabs of Bill’s linked sources reported last night and earlier yesterday:
Upon sight of this I immediately thought, ‘Maybe this is the start of Donald Trump’s return as POTUS?’
I’ve occasionally encountered opposition over some postings – thereby indicating they are of particular significance, which then gets quickly confirmed within a day or two that my action was definitely on the right track. On this occasion I soon received the following from the leader of Catch The Fire in Toronto:
GOD IS CRASHING OUR CHURCH MEETINGS
By Steve Long
But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. (NIV)
Let all things be done decently and in order. (NKJV)
Doing all things in a beautiful and orderly way. (Passion)
1 Corinthians 14:40
Around the world, the Spirit of God is moving. There are signs within Catch The Fire Partner churches that a fresh wave is here and it’s about to crash in on us again. Many other churches in other denominations and movements are experiencing similar things. God is showing up uniquely.
The ‘Luke 4:18’ Prophetic Word
Years ago, Paul Cain’s mother passed away on April 18th at 4:18 pm. (Paul was one of the key prophetic people whose ministry focused on revival.) Just before Viola died, she came out of her coma to give a prophetic blessing to her son and Mike Bickle (leader of International House of Prayer), who was also in the room.
The prophetic word was from Luke 4:18 related to the anointing. “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.”
Fast-forward to April 2021. Chris Reed, who is about to minister at IHOP on the April 7-10th weekend, has a dream from the Lord. The dream says “When the prince has passed, 4:18 will begin.”
Chris shares this with the IHOP leadership to see if it meant anything to them. Daniel Lim, the CEO, knew of Paul Cain’s prophetic word about 4:18 and tied them together. On April 9th, while Chris was ministering at IHOP, Prince Philip of England passed away.
On Sunday, April 18th, 2021 the anointing from Luke 4:18 was seemingly freshly released around the world. It would appear that none of the churches experiencing this wave yet knew about the 4:18 word.
At Hope City Church, a Catch The Fire Partner church in Melbourne, Australia, the Spirit of God dramatically interrupted their Sunday meeting on April 18th.
Andrew McGrath, the senior leader, said, “As I stood up to preach, people fell out of their seats, unusual manifestations occurred. I had heard God say in the week leading to the 18th that I needed to start teaching on the glory, so I prepared to teach on Matthew 17 and the transfiguration. And it came. On the 18th, a spirit of prophecy flowed, and I felt I could prophesy over everyone with such ease. People have been delivered, and others were filled with the Spirit after the service in the cafe!”
God Is Moving In Catch The Fire Partners
Since April 18, churches throughout the Catch The Fire Partners family have seen an increase in God’s movements. At Catch The Fire Church in Auckland, New Zealand, gemstones appeared at the feet of many of the attendees. Pastor Stu Allan said that “The Spirit identified the evangelists in their congregation and marked them via these gems.”
At Catch The Fire Church in Greensboro, North Carolina, they are seeing the spontaneous weight of God’s glory, laughter and deliverances. Jacob Murphy says, “A few times, the preacher has moved WAY past their prepared notes into revelatory preaching.”
At Catch The Fire Church in Boulder, Colorado, the Holy Spirit is releasing spiritual sight. The seer gift is resulting in dreams, visions, and angelic activity, especially with children. Christie Owings shares, “We are experiencing God’s presence in tangible ways, and we are all filled with awe and wonder!”
At Catch The Fire Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, people who had formerly left the church angrily have come back with repentance and humility. They are also gaining a reputation as a place of inner healing and restoration.
At Horizon Church, a Catch The Fire Partner Church in Lorrainville, Quebec, they are seeing a measured increase in God’s presence. They have greater freedom and authority to release the anointing. Pastor Terry Caron says, “I feel we are entering into a new season of His glory.”
At Catch The Fire Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba, they have, over the past three months, felt a coming revival similar to the Welsh and Hebrides revivals. They’ve had a dramatic increase in angelic and spirit visitations and prophetic dreams. Pastor Ken Haslam says, “One of the words over us as a church right now is to prepare the way for the Lord.”
[NB] At Catch The Fire Church in Toronto, Ontario, Lillian Brown was preaching on the topic of end-time glory, when the glory came and she just couldn’t continue to preach ! Toronto is in lockdown and the few others in the room were on their faces under the weight of what was happening.
All of these churches, plus many others, have seen this increase in the presence of God since April 18th, 2021.
What Is An Encounter With God?
Many of the Catch The Fire Partner churches around the world share the same vision statement; To Encounter God’s Transforming Presence. We believe that God is to be experienced, not just talked about. When the Bible says to know Father God it isn’t talking about information and facts, rather it is referring to tangible experiences.
Every significant personality the Bible talks about had experiences with God. Enoch walked with God, Moses talked to God face to face, David had God’s heart, Paul met Jesus on a road, the twelve disciples all had God moments.
Revival and A History Of Critics
When God shows up, not everyone likes it. I’m not talking about people outside the church. There are some followers of Jesus who don’t like what their church now looks like.
In 1994, Catch The Fire Church in Toronto (then known as Toronto Airport Vineyard Christian Fellowship) had about 300 attendees on a Sunday. They were a growing congregation experiencing God moving occasionally via healings, some people being slain in the spirit, some people crying. People were okay with occasional occurrences, but when it was almost everyone was having tangible experiences, it frightened and confused people. Many left.
It wasn’t until September 1994 that we were able to double the size of our meeting space by leasing an empty warehouse in the industrial plaza where we were located. We told all the international guests to go to the overflow and watch the Sunday meeting from there while our church family met. Shockingly, there were only 100 people left in the church meetings. 200 attendees didn’t like the crowds, didn’t like the manifestations, didn’t like the long meetings, didn’t like something and left.
Bill Johnson tells the same story. When he pushed in for more of the Spirit at Bethel, in Redding, California, and when the Spirit came; people left. In his case 2/3rds of the church family left as they didn’t like the way that Bill and Benni were allowing the Spirit of God to operate.
The critics of what happens when the Spirit moves, often refer to the verse at the start of this blog. They say, “1 Corinthians 14:40 says that things need to be done decently and in order.” They feel that leaders aren’t leading the way they should be.
But what is the criteria? What does decently and in order mean?
As we read 1 Corinthians, we see many corrections that Paul is making for this church, and for us today. He gave protocols for how we take part in remembering the body and blood of Jesus. He talked about eating meat offered to idols. He spent two chapters talking about how prophecy and tongues fit into a church gathering.
Look at Paul’s conclusion on how church meetings are to be conducted.
Following The Spirit and Scripture
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy and do not forbid speaking in tongues. But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. 1 Corinthians 14:39-40 NIV
Paul says that the supernatural is to be pushed into rather than being limited. We are to be expecting that the prophetic will happen each meeting (in our small groups and large gatherings). When people have prophetic words via tongues, we give room for them to be shared and we listen.
Perhaps because our church in Toronto started out as a Vineyard church, I lean on the wisdom of John Wimber who was the founder of this brand of church. He was very used to people not liking how the Spirit of God was manifesting at his church in Anaheim, California, or in his international travelling ministry.
I remember Wimber in Toronto speaking at a pastor’s gathering with several hundred leaders from our city. The question was asked by someone who didn’t like our “brand” of Toronto blessing meetings. “What I see at these meetings is not decent and in order.” He quoted 1 Corinthians 14:40.
John Wimber in his wisdom asked the pastor. “Do you allow the prophets to speak every Sunday? Do you let people sing and speak in tongues during worship?” The Toronto pastor answered “No.”
John Wimber then said something like this. “The verse you quoted starts out with Do Everything. Because you haven’t started obeying that part of the verse, you have no right to criticize me or John Arnott. We are attempting to do everything. We are seeking to lead decently and in order but you can only do that after you start Doing Everything.”
Wow. What an answer.
I remember how pastored and fathered I was as a new leader at Catch The Fire Toronto. I remember that my spirit jumped and encouraged me to push for more of the Spirit, rather than holding back.
When God Comes To Your Church
John Wimber was also famous for asking another question of pastors. “How do you know that God attended your meeting last Sunday?” He was looking for tangible evidence that God was in the room doing things that only God can do.
Anyone can speak a great sermon. You don’t need to be a follower of Jesus to do that. Anyone can say a nice-sounding prayer. Anyone can sing a song backed by a great band of musicians. None of these are evidence that God showed up to your church.
So how do we measure God being in the room?
By experiences that people have. By an accurate prophetic word or words of knowledge. By a dramatic healings and miracles. By testimonies of changed lives. By seeing demons leave people. By favour coming on people and giving them promotions and opportunities. By healing the emotions of troubled people. By raising people from the dead, and more than we can even imagine.
As we see more evidence that the Spirit of God is visiting the Catch The Fire Partners churches around the world, let’s all push in for more. Let’s celebrate when Lillian Brown can’t finish her talk. Let’s celebrate when gemstones show up, feathers float down from the rafters, people shake for an hour, and experience God is ways that we couldn’t have imagined.
It means Father God is in the room, and that is always a good thing! Let’s start by doing everything!
RB’s Footnote:
Nina and I have very fond memories of our times in Toronto, especially her awesome healing when John Arnott heard the Lord telling him ignore his message as He wanted to do some healing. So visit Catch The Fire, read their take on prophecy and politics.
Veronika writes on Tuesday 1st June at His Kingdom Prophecy:
‘Finally, here is the dream I have been wanting to share with you all.
‘I strongly encourage you all to please test, weigh and pray over everything I share. By Faith and in the Grace of God, I endeavour to outline prophetically what I saw and understood to be shown to me by The Spirit of Revelation in this powerful dream.
‘Furthermore, for those of you who follow my posts, you will all know that I am not gifted in the area of drawing or painting. However I do try to draw what I see and what is revealed to me in my dreams and visions and my prayer is that the meaning of the dream and vision is communicated as clearly as possible through my very rough and raw drawings:’
In its reference to the Apostolic and Prophetic temporarily moving in opposite directions it strikes me that it may well be referring to the issuance of a lengthy Prophecy Standards protocol and its myriad signatories thereto; to which Robin Bullock tells Steve Schultz he heard the Lord describe as they’re “signing an Act of Surrender”!
Also, I’m intrigued by the reference to ‘back to the future’ as I’ve deliberately put that phrase in a draft post about how the Lord showed me the immense importance of Bible prophecy when I was anti-church and deeply involved in New Age teachings.
Dipped into Fbk for couple minutes over last weekend and immediately saw this by Chris G Bennett and agree this is indeed part of End-time scenario. Why else would I have been directed of late to return to blogging on it??? Wot-a-way to spend Bank Holiday Monday!
PREPARING FOR THE END OF THE AGE
Thinking about all that is going on in the world, especially America right now, I suppose I, like many others, often wonder when the “reset” is going to happen. I’m an undisguised Trumpeter and I don’t mind admitting it. But sometimes I wonder why everything takes so long and I ask “what’s the hold up?” I wondered why revival isn’t yet in full swing? and why the political scene is still so corrupted?
Well the Lord answered me by bringing to my attention this passage from Isaiah –
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth; The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” (Isaiah 40:3-5)
God showed me that He is still preparing us for Revival. Even more than that, He is preparing the way for reform in the political world. It’s all so that the glory of the Lord can be revealed; it’s so the fear of the Lord can be restored to both sacred and secular; it’s so that, whatever the Lord has decided to do will be accomplished without too much pain for us! Being humans who tend to trust our fellow man, we need preparing for the shocks still to come because we would not believe the inhumanity of man to man – especially children! It has to be done slowly and carefully, and with great credibility, before the majority will accept it!
This may not just be the ‘great reset’. It may also be part of God’s “End of the Age” scenario. Think on that for a moment too! Jesus doesn’t even know His plan for that – if He did, He’d tell us! Yet more and more prophets are speaking into this. There’s some notable exceptions but for the most part the prophets are in agreement. So, if this really is all part of God’s End of the Age scenario, then we need to be preparing too. Preparing first by accepting and receiving the role, and the mantle for that role, that Jesus assigns to us.
Are you ready to do whatever He asks of you? Am I? I hope so, because I just want to serve His Kingdom purposes.
I so agree with Chris Moyler when he commented this :-
“When I hear from prophetic folk, “The King is Coming!”, I am NOT thinking of the biblical Second Coming, but rather the King Coming to the earth in an ABIDING rather than a mere visitation (wonderful though these are!)”
Applying a little lateral-thinking, what does ‘the King is coming’ actually say? Nothing much! The real question cannot be any single subject but rather, first, HOW is He coming? Is He coming in Revival, Awakening, Rapture, Return, or what? The question of ‘when’ is almost immaterial until we answer the ‘how’! In my book, revival is for the church and awakening is for the nation. I hope we’re all agreed that revival and awakening must come before Rapture, and that, depending upon your theology, must come before or at least concurrent with return! Although as a matter of purely personal opinion, nothing more nothing less, I believe the Rapture is not immediately imminent, but neither is it many decades, my only concern today is when the King is coming in awakening and revival. Until this final harvest is brought in, nothing else need concern us other than being like the wise virgins – ready, lamps full, wicks trimmed – but in the mean time getting on with the work at hand NOW!
Chris posted this on Facebook Friday 28th May and I greatly appreciate his stance:
ESCHATOLOGICALLY SPEAKING
Following my recent post on the coming King – “Soon and Very Soon We’re Going to See the King” – I’ve seen much discussion on exactly what that means. Is it the Rapture? Is it Revival? Is it Armageddon and the Return to Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives?
This is a very personal response to those questions, and I know there will be many who disagree with me, but here’s my current thinking – and before anyone starts to shout, “You’re wrong!”, I want to quote a scripture – “For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.” (1 Corinthians 13:12)
NONE of us, NOT ONE, is anywhere close to being the sole arbiter of truth. Please remember that and choose your words carefully IF you wish to comment in disagreement.
Armageddon and the Return – I really do think there’s a few things, biblical prophecies like the rebuilt Temple, the Antichrist, the Gospel taken to every tribe and tongue, and more, to be fulfilled before Jesus returns. However, there’s also much being fulfilled of late, many signs, which gives us the impression that it will be sooner rather than later. I think this is not yet, but events are moving very quickly and it could just surprise a few folk!
The Rapture – ah, the Rapture! With so much disagreement over whether or not there will even be a “Rapture”, the discussions over this topic are endless. But in the context of ‘Soon and very soon’, I do believe it could be quite imminent.
There are those who vehemently disagree with this, who say it’s not for years yet, I’ve even heard as much as hundreds of years! Whilst I respect them, I also disagree with them.
When Jesus tells me, whispers to me, (emphasis RB’s) that He’s coming VERY, VERY SOON, I tend to listen to Him. When He shouts it – I sit up and pay close attention. I’m not saying any of us is right or wrong, I’m only saying, telling, reporting that which I believe I’ve heard from the Lord Himself!
For those who believe as I do, there’s the belief that the Antichrist, the man of iniquity, cannot be revealed until after the Rapture – and that’s just for starters. The subject is so huge that I don’t wish to start another pointless, endless argument – I’m just stating my personal position. Many may well have different views. That’s OK too.
Revival – another ‘hot potato’ in the church! Revival has started already! Maybe not in a church near you, but it has started elsewhere in the world! The thing is that it really is different from anything we’ve seen before! To those who look for another Welsh Revival or another Azusa Street – how can it possibly be the same – that was over 100 years ago! It won’t be like the Hebridean Revival, or Argentina, or Toronto, Brownsville, Lakeland, the Bay nor any other recent move of God.
There will be an outburst of the ‘greater things will you do’ of which Jesus spoke. Greater miracles, greater wonders, more and greater signs, way beyond our imagination, will be the hallmark of this revival.
Does it mean He’s coming in Revival, in Rapture, in His physical Return to Jerusalem?
Well, I’ve already said that I don’t believe it is His physical return, but I do believe it will be BOTH Revival AND Rapture – Revival then Rapture. Revival, already started, carrying on for some time, then concluding with Rapture. How long? 5 or 6 years is my belief – within the next ten years at least!
There you have my personal position! I don’t mind if you disagree because I’m not the sole arbiter of truth, but neither are you. This is not a discussion, just a response to questions.
You may recall my three posts** of late last week about being increasingly nudged to refocus upon the original purpose of my writing? Now, another week and the urging is getting stronger – plus several folk are confirming this in writing/replying on the same matter!
Here’s an encouraging word along the same vein reposted last Tuesday, 25th May, by Chris G Bennett on his Facebook (coloured text by RB):
SOON AND VERY SOON, WE’RE GOING TO SEE THE KING!
I had a very telling encounter with the Lord today. I felt a very urgent pull to get away and alone with a Him. I tried twice – both times a miserable and abject failure. Eventually, when I got back home again, I found Him waiting for me. He didn’t waste time on pleasantries!
“Tell My people, tell them I’m coming!”
“They know you’re coming Lord!”
“They don’t believe Me. They need to be told again! Tell the people, I’m coming! Again and again! Keep on telling them until I tell you to stop!”
“OK Lord, I get the message.”
“You know, sometimes I don’t think even you, and ones like you, get hold of the urgency of My message. Tell them – I AM THAT I AM IS COMING VERY VERY SOON!”
Got it yet? I have.
Yet I wonder how many really have gotten hold of this message and its implications.
Jesus is coming soon for His Bride. We’ve known this nigh on two thousand years. So why don’t we act as though we understand. Where’s the urgency, the passion, the crying out for the lost? Where’s the tearful repentance, the joyous salvation? Where’s the healing the sick, the deaf hearing, the blind seeing, the dead raised? Where’s the prisoners freed, delivered, unbound, and their families with them?
If Jesus returned tonight, what would you be like? Have you filled your lamp and trimmed your wick? Are you truly ready? Would you be ready to say to Him,”No Lord, I need to stay behind for my family!” There’s not one word in the Bible to suggest that’s an option, but would you do it?
Where’s our urgency to get the lost saved? To get the sick healed? Or the bound freed?
Jesus is coming soon for His precious Bride and she’s just not fully prepared, not ready!
We are His people. We are called by His name. Have we turned from our wicked ways? Have we repented? Has the Lord forgiven us and started to heal our land? If not, when are we going to catch on and start?

It’s so obviously in God’s timing that I’m not taking our usual long weekend break as my wife is away for a couple of days; otherwise I wouldn’t be able to cover this until next week. SO thank you Lord for this novel kind of blessing! Furthermore, Kitty is just wandering around the desk as I type, and hinting, “The cat’s out of the bag!”

Thinking about all that is going on in the world, especially America right now, I suppose I, like many others, often wonder when the “reset” is going to happen. I’m an undisguised Trumpeter and I don’t mind admitting it. But sometimes I wonder why everything takes so long and I ask “what’s the hold up?” I wondered why revival isn’t yet in full swing? and why the political scene is still so corrupted?
