Very pleased to see the above on Revd Canon Brett”s Facebook for it prompts me that a couple of personal ‘ancient and modern’ prophetic visions are coming into play. Also, somewhere in comments I’d seen a reference to ‘backbone’:

2004 – BRITAIN’S BACKBONE IS BACK

My post of 18 August 2011 Comments on Dr Sharon Stone ‘Collapse of Society’ and my Vision of Britain just after riots in London refers to my first meeting her six years earlier when I sought her opinion as a prophet on what had happened to me, but which other leaders were unable to advise.  I write therein:

‘Personally, I’m encouraged that this word (through Revd Dr Stone) confirms the gist of a large open vision about 10 foot in front of me, that came at the opening of worship at the start of a conference in St Albans in October 2004. [Note: blue text copied from original email.]

“Before me I ‘saw’ a map of Britain surrounded by the sea, as though painted on rotten sacking – like old, wet coal-sacks I saw in my youth. It seemed the Lord was saying the fabric of our nation’s so rotten He could tear it apart so easily. 

This ‘map’ then began to rip apart in the middle, from about the line of Hadian’s Wall down along the line of the Pennine chain to the Midlands, and I sensed the Lord say, “I’m going to put the backbone back in Britain”. (I recalled that the Pennines are known as the spine of England.)

But out of the tear arose a very long rock, which I understood as meaning the Lord would restore our strong, spiritual backbone when we stand upon Him, The Rock.”

[Previously I’d noted, ‘Could the Lord be allowing increased persecutions here for the purpose of putting the spine back into Christians and making us stand up strongly?’… And Parliament has since been, and continues to be, thoroughly shaken and ripped open – do it to the media and elsewhere, Lord…Did you know that mounted, body-armoured police in Manchester interrogated a street preacher just because he was inviting people to an Easter service? Next, a hate-crimes unit visited him at home!!!]

“It wasn’t so much the unexpected and unbidden nature of the event that startled me. It was because I thought I heard the Lord say that He would rip the nation apart as easily as an old sack because of its rotten nature!!  That troubled me for I considered such to be contrary to his loving nature. 

But NT scriptures do speak of judgement and He gives many repeated warnings of such impending action (eg. as given this month through Lance Lambert).  Yet, we must plead His remembrance of mercy and of Jesus’ sacrifice, through which comes the fullness of true blessing.  All rather a profound mystery.  Also, let’s not forget that the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD (Isaiah 11.2) were aspects of the Holy Spirit prophesied for the descendant of King David’s father Jesse: Jesus Christ.”

2025 – SWORD & CRUSADE

1st of 7 Jigsaw Pieces…I asked the LORD about the rapidly increasing non-stop worldwide wickedness and when is He going to remove it, as promised in the parable of wheat and tares?

Next and although my eyes were open and clearly seeing the choir, about ten feet in front of me, my mind’s eye perceived darkness instead; BUT then a bright yellow-golden sword lies across my ‘sight’.

The blade is wide with triangular point, in ancient Roman style, and it is pointing straight in front of and away from me, although the hilt is unseen it must be below my chin.

Next, I see this sword’s flat blade sweep steadily from side to side, back and forth, to cut away whatever structures and controlling beings are in the darkness!! WOWEE!

I am reminded of Revelation 19 describing the End-times battle of Jesus as the mighty returning King (verse 15)

2nd of 7 Jigsaw Pieces –  It struck me, therefore, that ongoing widespread attacks against Christians in Europe and in Nigeria by Muslims is a satanic strategy to retrogress civilisation 1,400 years to the Dark Ages when Muslims attacked and invaded nations outside Arabia in their jihad and intifada and captured Jerusalem 1,390 years ago – Replacement Theology misses significance of Jesus’ warning of The Abomination of Desolation refers. It took a few hundred years for the Church to call for a Crusade of Europe’s Christians to wage a war of defence against Islam and its armies.

THEREFORE, IT IS NOW TIME FOR CHRISTIANS TO RISE AGAINST THE ANTICHRIST SPIRIT BY RAISING THE LEVEL TO A SPIRITUAL CRUSADE AGAINST SATAN.
