NB: This trilogy is not in chronological over last weekend but sequential from my initial input followed by subsequent material, some of which had appeared the prior day. First however, some relevant scripture:

After prophesying the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and His eventual return at the time of great Tribulation, as well as relating the parables of a the fig tree and the difference between His wise and foolish servants [Matthew 24], Jesus explains:

The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins 

25 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. ² Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. ³ Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, ⁴ but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. ⁵ But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

⁶ “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom^[a]is coming; go out to meet him!’⁷ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. ⁸ And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ ⁹ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ ¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

¹¹ “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ ¹² But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

¹³ “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour ^[b]in which the Son of Man is coming.                     [Matthew 25, NKJV, courtesy BibleGateway.com]

WEEKEND 26, 27, 28 SEPT 2026

Sunday morning I spotted prophet Simon Braker’s Facebook post of the previous day (Sat 26) on a personal question and excellently expanding his analytical answer:

In view of my direct experience with the supposed ‘NAR’ I offered this comment:

“Being born again 35 years ago from Catholic family but deep into New Age, the Lord put me into a Baptist church, then came Holy Spirit outpouring from Toronto into UK. So I saw ‘NAR’ arise as attempting to bring a fuller expression of how Jesus wanted His Bride to prepare for His return for the Marriage of the Lamb.”

Simon’s post generated many comments, including the usual divisive spirit on false leadership, with which I subsequently took issue in view of my dear wife being healed  out of a wheelchair after Revd John Arnott obeyed the Lord NOT to deliver a message but give time for folk to be healed!  [Blog Menu Reference: Jesus & Miracles]  Also, I wrote later:

“Am well-grounded in scripture and testify that Arnott is THE ONLY TEACHER whom I’ve heard teach upon DOING the verse I wanted to see in action as a child > John 14:12. The fact churches were NOT operating in Jesus’ ministry made me search into and practise occultism ’til Jesus rescued me in person! [As in Searching for Truth… in my testimonial]

When anointed people minister I don’t fall down but in JA’s workshop on John 14:12 , without anyone nearby I was thrown backwards by Holy Spirit power to land on my back BUT my head was supernaturally cushioned as I hit the floor – thank the Lord.”

HOWEVER, I was excited on hearing a ‘God-incidental’ reference at the close of that morning’s service, as recounted in Part 2.
