Please note my dear readers, in view of each day’s events in America being late-night news here in the UK – eg. yesterday’s FBI exposures – some extra-news items get quickly posted onto this blog’s ‘noticeboard’ at Richard’s Watch Telegram channel, as well as prophecy-related on Richard’s Watch Prophecy Validations.

Last weekend a second powerful prophetic vision of personal relevance after that of the previous post, but for reasons relating to my dream Father, Let Your Kingdom Come! (2011) not only for its location but also untold name directly echoing “Patmos” (!), was that told by Veronika West on her Facebook.
Thus, it’s effectively the 11th posting of the full-circle, wheels-within-wheels series! And so I’m grateful to Angus MacKillop for permitting use of images from His Kingdom Prophecy:
A NOW WORD: “THE KEY TO THE VALLEY OF VISION IS THE CRUCIBLE OF PATMOS”
So, I had a powerful and profound Dream which I believe and submit, is speaking to The Body of Christ and particularly to the Prophets — to those who are seeking a greater level and measure of Prophetic Revelation, Illumination and Understanding.
A short dream – but powerful
This Valley I knew by Revelation in the dream, was “The Valley of Vision,” and I saw from a distance that the landscape of the Valley before me was rugged and the terrain looked difficult to traverse — jagged rocks jutted out from the hillsides, and the narrow paths that marked the landscape looked somewhat daunting.
The atmosphere in the dream was thick, and yet weighty and again I knew by Revelation that the very ground I was standing on was shrouded in Divine Mystery and Hidden Secrets.
Now, as stepped forward in the Dream, I felt a Mantle come upon me.
( It was almost as if I was being clothed and prepared spiritually to enter into The Valley of Vision.
I was taking on the very fabric of the Valley, the spiritual texture of that deeper dimension of the Spirit was coming upon me which would enable and empower me to both receive and carry what would be imparted to me should I enter in. )
But as I took another step forward towards The Valley of Vision, not only did I feel a tangible sense of great weight now upon me, but suddenly my Vision began to take on greater clarity, and just as I was about to take another step towards The Valley of Vision, I saw what looked like an Ancient Door suddenly appear before me.
As I looked at the door, I saw the Word, ”PATMOS” deeply engraved upon this Ancient Door!
Ha! Immediately in the Dream, it was quickened to me of John, who was sent to the Isle of Patmos where he wrote the Book of Revelation. [RB: aka ‘The Apocalypse’]
Now, as I stood in that place, I knew by The Spirit that the Ancient Door that stood before me in the Dream was like that of the Door of Revelation 4.
“After this I looked, and there before me was a Door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” Revelation 4:1.
As I looked and looked again at the Word “Patmos” engraved upon the Ancient Door, again I knew by Revelation that the Door was Living — it was Alive!
The Ancient Door was full of The Glory of The LORD, and the Ancient Door seemed to recognise me, as a Son of Righteousness.
( Even the fact that I was being given access to traffic in this Realm and dimension in The Spirit, through a Dream, I knew that I was Marked to be there — Called — to become a Partaker of a greater level and Dimension of The Vision Realm of the Glory. )
But as I stood in that Sacred Place, I was made to understand by The Spirit of Revelation that this was not exclusive to me, but rather this was an Invitation to the Prophets — to those in The Body of Christ — who are seeking the Face of God in this Season, for the unveiling and the revealing of the Knowledge of Christ unto greater Transformation and Reformation of The Nations.
The Glory Hunters were being Invited to “go beyond” the shallows in this Season — to “go higher” — to go where “Deep Calls Unto Deep…” (Psalm 42:7)
In the Dream, I could tangibly feel The Glory of The LORD — the weight of The Spirit of The Fear of The LORD filled the atmosphere!
Yet I knew that I was being given and shown a powerful and strategic message for the hour — a Message to the 11th Hour Prophets!
And though I was being given permission to stand before the Ancient Door, I was not yet permitted to go beyond the Door, even though there was a Invitation to “Come up here! Come up higher!”
In the Dream, I began to inquire of The Holy Spirit asking, ”Spirit of Wisdom, what must I do to enter into The Valley of Vision””
In reply I heard these Words, “The Key to The Valley of Vision, is the Crucible of PATMOS!”
I woke up!
As you can imagine, I was now wide awake; grabbing my journal; writing everything down!
But the first thing I wrote was; “The Key to The Valley of Vision is the Crucible of PATMOS…..”
I immediately felt to look up the word PATMOS — Meaning ; “My killing.” (Thayer : #G3963 : Πάτμος — Patmos).
Wow! Now, as I read those words, I believe and humbly submit that God is saying, ”Patmos is the crucible”, where the fiery trials and tribulations will refine the Faith and deepen the vision of His 11th Hour Prophets into the coming Season.
This Valley of Vision is not one of despair, but rather of the Birth Place of Divine Revelation; glorious Illumination; greater Understanding and Knowledge — which will bring us into a greater measure of the Statue of Christ — the place where the veil is lifted and the 11th Hour Prophets are given unfettered access to look upon His Glory!
Then I heard The Holy Spirit say, “Watch and Listen! For I AM Calling My 11th Hour Prophets into The Valley of Vision in this Hour, that their Eyes of Understanding may be Opened — and that what may BECOME what is Beheld!
Yes! For I AM Calling My 11th Hour Prophets to the Crucible of PATMOS — to the Place of Death unto greater Life and a Greater degree of the Vision — through the Light of My Glory and Power!
I say again, a Crucial of Patmos, where the Fires of Purification will bring forth greater Humility and Purity to My 11th Hour Prophets — an Invitation — to enter into a sacred place — the Birthing place of True Vision — The Valley of Vision — where the flesh dies in order that the Spiritual Senses can come Alive, and are fully Awakened, Illuminated and Ignited!”
Friends, ”The invitation is Open! It’s NOW — and it’s time to Respond in total Surrender, Faith and with Radical Expectation!”
Blessings to you all.

SELAH!
Extract: Deputy Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Dan Bongino dropped a bombshell on May 29, 2025, revealing the discovery of a secret room at FBI headquarters packed with evidence from multiple cases, concealed during James Comey’s tenure as director. Referring to himself and FBI Director Kash Patel, a fellow Trump appointee, Bongino said the trove was “hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us.”
GET READY! A LONG-READ BUT MOST POWERFUL END-TIMES MESSAGE…
This time last week I was in awe of how I’d ‘God-incidentally’ come across attorney Sidney Powell’s words “Democrats are a broken party…they have spent four years building a sandcastle of lies about Joe Biden and the tide is rolling in.”; echoing the prophetic vision of Veronika West in May 2021 (see Richard’s Watch Goes Full Circle: 9). Then on Saturday, explosive news emerged fulfilling that and exposures prophecy!
Little did I expect to get any more God-incidences, jigsaw pieces, global prophecy signals, or whatever we’d like to call such ‘coincidences’. Yet what follows is, in effect, the 10th posting of the full-circle, wheels-within-wheels series!
On Sunday evening my phone was charging whilst we watched a tv film and when I unplugged and booted up the phone this popped onto the screen (captured today):
Just a very quick scan-read amazed me at Henry’s CONFIRMATION from the Lord, not only on a specific point but also on others regarding End-times, so I commented as in ascending order shown below – moreover I could add my first writing on the Endgame wheat and tares: Continue reading

Although a tad long-winded title, Richard’s Watch Goes Full-Circle postings focus upon specific content raised years ago as now returning to our attention. In fact, such cyclical writing had been noticed long before I noticed the increased frequency, or acceleration, of such recurrences. Continue reading
DOUBLE ANNIVERSARY OF TWO PROPHECIES IN MAY 2016 AND MAY 2021
Of the over 600 updates on my asking the Lord 9 years ago this weekend about His possibly exposing political rot and corruption, we get this MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs) fulfilment, which also fulfils the Sandcastle vision and words Veronika West received 4 years ago on the month’s first day!
WOW, a second ‘God-incidence’ has hit me over Veronika West’s vision. Look at the time lapse of my seeing this item > ’17’ can refer to Donald Trump in his role as ‘Q’, because it’s 17th of the alphabet.
As recounted in this blog’s 9th ‘full circle’ the first God-incidence was seeing Sidney Powell’s published comment of 21st May that exactly echoes Veronika’s vision, viz:
“(Democrats) have spent four years building a sandcastle of lies about Joe Biden and the tide is rolling in.’
Since that recent post on this blog’s 9th ‘full circle’ I found the FBI Director’s comment on his Telegram channel:
Also, a personal testimony of the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is cited on Facebook’s supporters of Donald Trump For President:
‘It’s sick how the media allowed Biden and Dems tell lies only to write a book talking about how Biden and the Dems lied. Gaslighting for profit.
Reporter: “We, myself included, missed a lot of this story and some people trust us less because of it. Can you comment on those remarks and whether you agree with that assessment?”
Press Secretary: “I do agree with that assessment from Alex Thompson, who I understand won an award for writing a story months and perhaps years after the American people already knew that story to be true. Millions of Americans watched our mentally incompetent president struggle with his day-to-day duties of this office. We watched our country be ran into the ground as a result, and nobody in the media wanted to write about that, talk about it.
There were many, many reporters, I will say, right-leaning reporters, who did talk about that, who didn’t get awards, didn’t get coverage; in fact, they were lambasted for their coverage. And I remember being on President Trump’s campaign, talking about Joe Biden’s clear mental incompetence, and being accused by people in this room of manufacturing deepfake videos, trying to persuade the public into not believing what they saw with their own eyes for many years.
And I think it’s about time the legacy media finally admits that was one of the greatest cover-ups and scandals that ever took place in American history, and certainly it did contribute to the decline in the trust that Americans have for the legacy media.”
COMPARE THE SANDCASTLES PROPHECY
Now, note Veronika’s description of what she heard and saw on 1st May 2021; ie, in only the fourth month of Biden’s time in office:
“...As I heard those Words, suddenly I saw Joe Biden waist deep in sinking sand, and some who had been trying to build for themselves, sandcastles, had now completely disappeared beneath the thick sinking sand.
Joe Biden seemed totally unaware of what was taking place roundabout him, he just kept talking and talking and thick sand just kept pouring and pouring forth from his mouth.
Little did he know, nor did he stop to realise, but the very words that were coming out of his mouth, were drowning those who were desperately trying to build and establish his plans in the land…”
“I heard The Spirit say, ”Watch! For the walls of the waters of The Red Sea shall suddenly fall and his plans and their sandcastles will be washed away!”
And as I heard those Words, I saw that the platform that Joe Biden was standing on, was suddenly gone, and those who had surrounded him, who were trying to build for themselves gigantic sandcastles, had all been washed away by the massive Wave that suddenly came crashing down upon them!” (read in full)

Now It All Makes Sense: Tapper Lets It Slip That Coming Clean on Biden Is Really About Getting Trump
Recent news from America on the suppression of information on Joe Biden’s serious physical and mental health issues throughout his ‘term’ brings not only exceptionally serious consequences, but also the eruption of news and well-informed opinion, plus that of the role of a ‘devolutionary’ continuation of government, as occasionally covered by this blog under the ‘Devolution (USA)‘ tag.
This ‘Autopen’ search within Newsmax with its 20 headlines/captions provides a helpful scroll-down summary, with two referring to its more-or-less secret first use by Obama:
For information, the President’s reactions are purportedly posted on Donald J Trump Telegram, on March 15th, 17th and May 17th and the latest on May 21 reads:
May 21 – ‘Joe Biden was not for Open Borders, he never talked about Open Borders, where criminals of all kinds, shapes, and sizes, can flow into our Country at will. It wasn’t his idea to Open the Border, and almost destroy our Country, and cost us Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to get criminals out of our Country, and go through the process we are going through now. It was the people that knew he was cognitively impaired, and that took over the Autopen. They stole the Presidency of the United States, and put us in Great Danger. This is TREASON at the Highest Level! They did it to destroy our Country. The Joe Biden that everybody knew would never allow drug dealers, gang members, and the mentally insane to come into our Country totally unchecked and unvetted. All anyone has to do is look up his record. Something very severe should happen to these Treasonous Thugs that wanted to destroy our Country, but couldn’t, because I came along. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’
From The Gateway Pundit:

“We are in the midst of this staggering presidential scandal from the Biden administration. Whether you’re talking about the mental decline or the physical decline, there was a conspiracy to keep the American people from knowing who was actually operating as president,” said Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway during a Fox News interview. “It really makes all other presidential scandals throughout history seem to somewhat pale in comparison.”

Veronika West kindly returned my favour of a heads-up on the sandcastles posting with this image published on her Ignite Ireland Ministry relating to the Joker, Queen of Hearts and the King’s stolen crown prophetic vision:
It just so happens the prophetic vision to which she refers is 17th (=Q) on my updated listing of ‘jigsaw pieces’ validating prophecies on Donald Trump, viz:
17. The Joker, Queen & King’s Stolen Crown – HKP on 16 January 2021
The original is posted on His Kingdom Prophecy with very many subsequent instances of its progress in coming to pass available on the emboldened title-link.
Again I simply have to conclude it must have been the Lord’s leading just before closing yesterday for dinner. After sharing my postings onto the blog’s Telegram I happened to scroll down the channels and thought of removing one that I rarely visit; that of military and civil attorney Sidney Powell’s channel. BUT….then…
Subscribers may recall frequent citations of her in my postings on the 2020 election. In fact, the very first of the 40-item series US Election’s NOT Over refers to her attending a pre-election conference on mail-in and electronic vote manipulation. After the election I was in contact with her team on the algorithm analysis of elections until he went ‘under the radar’.
I was about to hit ‘Leave’ on Sidney’s channel when I spotted her latest item mentions ‘sandcastle‘ and got a strong poke: “Wasn’t there a prophecy about that?”
Searching finds this ‘GPS’ published four years three weeks ago today on 1st May 2021: America’s ‘Sandcastles’ to be Washed Away –
NB, the prophetic promise is heard THREE TIMES by Veronika after her opening intercessory cries, she writes:
‘As I raised my voice in prayer and supplication before The LORD, suddenly the face of Joe Biden and the Nation of The United States of America came up before me in a vision.
Then I heard these words, ”Watch! For his plans will become like thick sand, and their gigantic sandcastles will be washed away, by a sudden wave of My Justice and Judgment in the days ahead!”
Now as I heard those Words, I saw Joe Biden standing on a platform, as if he was about to give a speech. Kamala Harris stood behind him and Nancy Pelosi and others (whom I did not recognise) seemed to be strategically placed and positioned around the platform.
As I waited and watched, suddenly I saw Joe Biden open his mouth to speak, and as the first word came out of his mouth, I saw ‘thick sand’ begin to pour out of his mouth.
As I looked at this strange thing taking place, again, I heard these Words, ”Watch! For his plans will become like thick sand, and their gigantic sandcastles will be washed away, by a sudden wave of My Justice and Judgment in the days ahead!”
As those words echoed loudly for a second time, I saw that more and more thick sand began to pour out of his mouth. The sand flowed like a river.
Now as I listened and watched this taking place, I heard Joe Biden begin to decree and declare certain plans that he was making for The Nation, but then something even stranger began to take place!
I watched as those who were standing behind him, and to the side of him, began to try to build for themselves gigantic sandcastles with the thick sand that was pouring forth from his mouth as he spoke!
Now, as I looked at them, I could see a look of utter desperation and confusion written all over their faces, as they worked frantically together to try to build for themselves these gigantic sandcastles.
But then suddenly, I heard these Words, ”Watch! For his plans, and their gigantic sandcastles will be built and established on sinking sand — for what is built by the hands of man will not stand! It will not stand!”
As I heard those Words, suddenly I saw Joe Biden waist deep in sinking sand, and some who had been trying to build for themselves, sandcastles, had now completely disappeared beneath the thick sinking sand.
Joe Biden seemed totally unaware of what was taking place roundabout him, he just kept talking and talking and thick sand just kept pouring and pouring forth from his mouth.
Little did he know, nor did he stop to realise, but the very words that were coming out of his mouth, were drowning those who were desperately trying to build and establish his plans in the land.
Then I heard these Words, ”The wise man built his house upon the rock, but the foolish man built his house upon the sand,” (Matthew 7:24-27).
As those words echoed in my spirit within the vision, suddenly I saw a massive Wave breaking forth upon the scene, and I heard The Spirit say, ”Watch! For the walls of the waters of The Red Sea shall suddenly fall and his plans and their sandcastles will be washed away!”
And as I heard those Words, I saw that the platform that Joe Biden was standing on, was suddenly gone, and those who had surrounded him, who were trying to build for themselves gigantic sandcastles, had all been washed away by the massive Wave that suddenly came crashing down upon them!’
A few days later my next post Second ‘Global Prophecy Signal’ – Biden Admin is Built on Sand – Quicksand! introduces a confirmatory prophecy with:
‘…Veronika then wrote me a couple of hours later saying “Interesting to note this link, sent by a follower,..it was posted by a prophet called Ken Dewey on the same day and literally a few hours after I posted the word on Sandcastles …amazing how it confirms what I saw!
[Ken Dewey] “Today I heard this Word coming forth: “They are walking on quicksand and sinking fast! They are going down. The things they are doing are not solid ground. The foundation will never stand, for it is but sinking sand. Quicksand!”
He was talking about the Biden Administration, and the people behind him who are promoting their plans to change this Nation from a Republic and a Democracy to a Socialistic society.
“Their foundation will never support their plan, but will sink into oblivion. No more and forever, they are going down to be seen by all as slipping fast.”

“I hear the Spirit Say…;
“Daughter the Command to BLESS ISRAEL is NOT simply a suggestion….but rather it’s a DIVINE MYSTERY CONNECTED TO COVENANT THAT WHEN APPLIED…POWERFULLY UNLOCKS THE DIVINE INTERVENTION AND PROVISION OF HEAVEN IN THE LIVES OF MY REMNANT;….I SAY….AGAIN, BLESS ISRAEL AND YOU SHALL BE BLESSED…LACKING NOTHING”…!!!
Cambridge University emeritus professor of history Robert Tombs’ deep denunciation (emphases mine):
‘For the first time in three centuries – since the Hanoverian kings made Britain serve German interests – we are ruled by a political and administrative elite that does not put this nation first.
Our other rulers, whether they were kings, aristocrats or parliamentarians, took it for granted that their duty was to Britain. They laboured [RB: pun? Re Labour Party!] long and hard for the country in which they had a stake.
But not today. Sir Keir Starmer’s “reset” is only the latest example of decisions made since 2005 that obey other priorities. The Net Zero utopia is the most dangerous. The Chagos Islands fiasco – now “on hold” – is the most incomprehensible. The “reset” with the European Union is merely the most predictable. Michel Barnier predicted years ago that Starmer would lead Britain back into the EU.
I was naïve about Brexit. I thought a democratic decision would be honoured in good faith.…’ continue reading https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/05/20/no-leader-300-years-done-more-undermine-interests-starmer/
KIE – R STARME – R : [Keir Starmer] A radical left-wing Prime Minister who opposes democracy, dismisses Godly Principles, and strongly rejects anything that even remotely reflects the core values of Britain as a nation! [Starmer meme ©dailymail.co.uk]
Apart from Selling out our Fisheries potentially for the next 12 years, this Prime Minister has fallen into the trap God warned us about — and signed this Nation up to an EU Military Treaty!
But none of this should surprise us.
The LORD prophesied in 2022, that He would allow ravenous Wolves to govern this Nation for a Season, which would bring a stiff-necked, prideful and rebellious Nation to its knees in true Repentance. [As linked below, 7th March 2022]
Prophetic intercession request and Word of WARNING to UK about EU army – Veronika West
Our Cry is not merely for God to grant us a Righteous Government, important as that may be — our Cry is that in the midst of great trouble and turmoil the heart of this Prodigal Nation would come to its Senses — and Turn and Return in True Repentance!
The recent defiance exhibited by the Labour Government concerning the 17.4 Million who voted for Brexit, reveals the Judas who is in the midst.
Britain is once again being cast as a rule-taker, rather than a Sovereign Nation determining its own path!
But take heart, for these are all signs of a Great Spiritual Awakening coming upon a Wayward Nation!
When the Ravenous Wolves govern and a Rebellious Nation is humbled, the Lion of Judah will begin to Arise through the Governing Ecclesia and the Roar of the Lion will awaken a sleeping and slumbering Nation to its True Identity and Destiny.

Further to my references in Part 1, I was saddened upon popping into a local supermarket to see the state of affairs under PM Keir Starmer is now widely recognised:

Now for that latest piece in God’s Invisible Jigsaw from Dr Jurgen Buhler, President International Christian Embassy, Jerusalem:
A special call to 100 days of prayer and fasting to heal the rift between the Church and the Jewish people
By Dr. Jürgen Bühler, ICEJ President
‘This year many churches around the world are commemorating 1700 years since the landmark Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. According to Church historian Philip Schaff, Nicaea was – next to the Apostolic council in Jerusalem in Acts chapter 15 – “the most important and the most illustrious of all the councils of Christendom.” (1)
Nicaea was only the second global council since the days of the original Apostles. In Acts 15, we read about the very first church council discussing how to deal with the new phenomena of Gentiles joining a predominantly Jewish church. In that Jerusalem gathering, the early Apostles had opened wide the door for Gentile believers to join the Church.
Nicaea impacted the Church in a similarly powerful way. But unlike the Jerusalem council, at Nicaea the doors of the Church began to be firmly close on the Jewish people. The umbilical cord was cut between the Church and Israel, even though it was the nation and people who had birthed the Church. It also opened the door for growing anti-Jewish tendencies among Gentile Christians in the following centuries.
To be clear, this development was neither planned nor intended when the council was first called. Yet what made Nicaea end with a very different result from its inception was not inspired by spiritual leaders as in Acts 15, but by the Roman emperor himself.
Emperor Constantine, who reigned from 306 to 337 AD, was a new convert to Christianity. This brought a tremendous sense of relief for the early Church, which had just survived one of the worst waves of persecution a few years earlier under Emperor Diocletian. Constantine not only eased the fears of the Church but decided to make his newly-found faith the most official religion of the Roman Empire….’

Post-holiday blogging plans got diverted last Monday by an invisible ‘poke’ to attend to a paper Neil Mackereth had sent me on 24 April, but which I found had disappeared, even though shown as an attachment – and then emails acted weirdly! However, connection got made just in time for Neil to send a fresh copy before going away – SO, our Lord must have been on-hand to give a helping hand!
Thus as he’d already written me, not only his meetings over the Palm Sunday weekend but also my delayed action last week and subsequent postings and relevant news, were indeed “God-engineered”, as Neil surmised – rather like a shower of jigsaw pieces:
Other news emerging last week validates my first email on End-times with its top-level security warning, but which may relate to an apparently official anti-Semitic stance in Britain, beyond what I reported last November in..
Police visit fulfills MI5 chief’s 2009 warning! Endgame IS definitely in play!
On February 2009 I write:
‘However, this is just one instance of the growing persecution of believers, principally through a policy supposedly promoting toleration but that’s now a tyrannical tool of intolerance – Equality & Diversity. There are other powers of suppression. Even the previous director of MI5 warns about UK sleep-walking into a police state (‘Abject nonsense’ responded a gov’t minister who lives on another planet)…’
Now 16 years 3 months later:
‘A retired special constable was arrested and detained over a social media post warning about the threat of anti-Semitism in Britain, The Telegraph can reveal.
Julian Foulkes, from Gillingham in Kent, was handcuffed at his home by six officers from Kent Police – the force he had served for a decade – after challenging a supporter of pro-Palestinian marches on X.
Police body-worn camera footage captured officers scrutinising the 71-year-old’s collection of books by authors such as Douglas Murray, a Telegraph contributor, and issues of The Spectator, pointing to what they described as “very Brexity things”.
…“Free speech is clearly under attack,” said Mr Foulkes. “Nobody is really safe… the public needs to see what’s happening, and be shocked.”
‘…Mr Foulkes, who volunteered with the force for a decade, had his home searched, and was detained for eight hours, interviewed and cautioned. He had replied to a tweet from a pro-Palestinian activist who had threatened to sue Mrs Braverman for calling anti-Israel protests “hate marches”…
..She told Mr Foulkes that it was ironic the police were “very, very eager” to arrest him over his social media post warning about anti-Semitism, “but when thousands of people were marching through the streets on Armistice Day, chanting anti-Semitic slogans, celebrating terrorism, they suddenly became very meek and mild and didn’t have enough resources or powers”.[RB. But dozens of police surrounded just one Englishman and removed him for protesting the march!!! – Tommy Robinson]
Mrs Braverman said her struggle to reform the system from within had convinced her that real change may now only come from people like Mr Foulkes speaking out…’

In Part 2 we consider a ‘God-engineered’ return to the anniversary of the beginning of Replacement Theology 1700 years ago…
[Image credit: Flying Puzzles by Nokhoog Buchachon, courtesy Freedigitalphotos.net]
Yes Neil, the timing of your revisiting the doctrine of Replacement Theology, especially its history, really is “God-engineered” for we now have an indication of further changes within the Roman branch of Jesus’ Church:
Newsmax reports (emphases mine)
‘Pope Leo XIV has told the world’s Jewish communities he wants to strengthen the Roman Catholic Church’s dialog with them, in a message coming after a souring of relations between the Vatican and Israel over the war in Gaza.
The first U.S.-born pope sent a letter to Rabbi Noam Marans, the Director of Inter-religious Affairs of the American Jewish Committee, who posted the letter on the social platform X late on Monday.
“Trusting in the assistance of the almighty, I pledge to continue and strengthen the Church’s dialog and cooperation with the Jewish people in the spirit of the Second Vatican Council’s declaration Nostra Aetate,” Leo said in the letter.
Nostra Aetate was a landmark document in the 1962-1965 Council that repudiated the concept of collective Jewish guilt for the death of Jesus and urged dialog with non-Christian religions.
The brief document revolutionized Catholic relations with Jews after centuries of persecution and mistrust. Dialog that ensued over the following two decades made it possible for Pope John II to become the first pontiff to visit a synagogue, giving a speech in Rome’s main temple in 1986, where he called Jews “our beloved elder brothers”.
Continue reading and watching report at Newsmax’s Pope Leo: Jews Dialogue
We seem to have arrived at a veritable watershed upon the 1700th anniversary of the agreed core beliefs of Christian doctrine and published in the Nicene Creed.
WWW, wheels-within-wheels, continue to roll as dear Neil’s revisiting ‘RT’ and strong stand against anti-Semitism takes this blog full circle back to its beginning fourteen years ago in November when my emailing him and other friends on End-times went public. That month I’d already written about a broadcast theological debate and my very first item, after launching with a Welcome to the wider public, continued with a follow-up, viz
As ever, ‘God-incidental’ timing is intriguing because Neil wrote his latest as a result of a “curious series of events happened over the weekend” (Psalm Sunday) exposing the need for a proper grasp of scripture’s relevance to our times, and he wishes to share:
“Saturday morning I attended a Men’s Breakfast…I went with no intention or expectation of speaking….
There was a guest speaker from America who I did not know, and have never heard. He started by saying that he had decided the best format for the meeting would be if we attenders where to ask any question we liked, and he would answer. There was a long silence; so, to break the ice, I asked “Do you think Gaza could be under the judgement of God?” there was another silence, then he said: “I don’t know about Gaza, but I think America is under judgement”.
I said: “I asked the question because the people of Gaza have been cursing Israel for at least 20 years, and probably 77. In the Bible God says that if you curse my people Israel you will be cursed: there must be an outcome”. He said: “it depends on who you think “Israel” is. It is not the land, it is the people of God who are now “Israel” and there is only one “people of God”. My comment: “that sounds like replacement theology”. He then said something about different dispensations and “grafted-in Theology”, at which point the host stepped in and said we needed to move on to other questions.”
The next day Neil was interrupted during conversation by someone saying she’d heard he’d been “controversial” at the breakfast – but the speaker was entitled to a different point of view. “I tried to explain that replacement theology is not just “a different point of view”. However, I could see I wasn’t going to get anywhere… I don’t know why what happened, happened, but I am convinced it was God engineered.”
The sadness is that very few people understood, or cared about, what had taken place. The woman’s belief that it was a fluffy little difference of opinion between two equally valid points, seems to be the consensus view.”
Such a clueless position, instead of taking a stand against hatred, it implicitly supports….
BBC and ANTI-SEMITISM
As a consequence of writing about ‘RT’ in November 2011 I noticed and posted many times in the blog’s first year on the BBC’s deeply biased reporting against Israel – hence the need for a BBC tag!
AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS that since Neil’s ‘God engineered’ encounters, relevant news emerged on Tuesday regarding a vastly overpaid sports ex-commentator:
Now, let’s get back to what holy scripture says, for this passage in Ephesians 2 featured the next day at a local house group:
11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. (Ephesians 2 NKJV BibleGateway)
This points to God’s ultimate goal of all people, Jews and non-Jews, becoming united believers in Jesus Christ through His awesome grace. This is extensively explained in the books written to the Hebrews and the church in Rome.
SELAH!
Reference: The Lord Hands Out FIVE Jigsaw Pieces on Daniel 9 :
“So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not (let the reader understand) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains…” (Mark 13:14 – emphases mine – re Dan 9:27 NKJV)
As ‘the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy’ (Rev 19:10) then His instruction is indubitably prophetic about this sign appearing sometime in the future. Thus, Jesus not only confirms the accuracy of the angel Gabriel’s prophecy to Daniel but also bears His witness to its coming true, and establishing it according to the principle of Deut 19:15.
In heeding that warning, nearly forty years later Jesus’ followers wisely fled Jerusalem when Titus’ huge Roman army besieged and destroyed the city and temple.
As told in Bio Info, the Lord had put this book in my hand and validated its content by what was being shown simultaneously on BBC. Its author Victor Dunstan examines the time-scales of Daniel’s prophecies and the ‘Abomination of Desolation’.
He cites Gibbon’s ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ regarding the outcome of the six months’ siege of Jerusalem (636-7 AD) during Muslim attacks against the Christian Byzantine empire and conquest of The Levant.
Sophronius, Patriarch of Jerusalem, agreed to surrender on condition he submit direct to the Caliph Umar in person:
‘After signing the capitulation, (Umar) entered the city without fear or precaution; and courteously discoursed with the Patriarch concerning its religious antiquities. Sophronius bowed before his new master and secretly muttered, in the words of Daniel, “The abomination of desolation is in the holy place!”
Three decades later the Islamic shrine and Dome on the Rock mosque was completed upon a wing of the ruins of the Temple Mount. Victor emphases – it still STANDS there!.
Sadly, in ignoring the scriptural and historic validity of the Jews and nation of Israel then ‘RT’ aligns itself with endemic racial and religious hatred of anti-Semitism.
A couple of historical points to add to Neil Mackereth’s Replacement Theology Revisited that I’d like to add are on the heritage of Jesus’ family and His warning prophecy of ‘the Abomination of Desolation’ in Jerusalem:
THE DESPOSYNI
Occasionally, I refer to the ‘Desposyni’, as for example in Jesus’ Crucifixion Describer in The Holy Name of God:
‘When he made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire in the early 4th Century, Constantine discouraged all contact with Jews and the Church severed itself from its Jewish roots – from even the descendants of Jesus’ kith and kin, known as Desposyni. In doing so, the Church lost a fuller and deeper understanding of the Old Testament.’
Now let’s expand upon this matter with the help of priest and professor Malachi Martin, whom I seem to recall served as Librarian in the Vatican Library, in his seminal The Decline and Fall of the Roman Church published 1981 (page 34, emphases added):
‘..For Donatus preached the old Jewish idea of a temporal kingdom, just as the Ayatollah proclaims in behalf of Islam. The Roman popes, no matter how subordinate they became to political power, no matter how greatly corrupted by it, always saw their spiritual power as distinct from the political and never wholly identified the two. This was the narrow but all-important hair-difference between Donatus and the bishop of Rome.
REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY REVISITED
INTRODUCTION
I am disturbed and distressed by the parlous state of the World and our Nation. With few exceptions, our churches have developed a wishy washy, sit on the fence, don’t rock the boat, non-confrontational form of Complacent Theology.
Where is the conviction, robustness and power of Almighty God? I have a zeal for The Word of God, and truth, which is at odds with the smug wokeness of our time.
I want to focus on Replacement Theology (RT) (also known as Supersessionism), and its manifestation, antisemitism. I have written several papers on this subject and only return to it because it is getting much worse, as a result of the 7th October 2023 atrocities. The “Palestinian Movement” have invented a false narrative that has been taken up by the BBC and other mainstream media platforms, and that narrative has become self-affirming (“it must be right; they are saying it as well”).
First let us look at the historic roots of RT.
