Continued from part 3:.

STRUCTURE OF THE REVELATION

 “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.  18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. 19 Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.  (Rev 1:17-19 NKJV)

  • The Present:
  • chpt 1. Vision of the Son of Man, the one ascended Lord
  • chpt 2-3. Letters to seven churches (and for all churches)
  • chpt 4-5. Vision of heaven, the Lion of Judah and the Lamb
  • The Near Future:
  • chpt 6-11. Judgments, great tribulation, martyrs and two witnesses
  • chpt 12-16. Woman, child, dragon, beast 666, antichrist, false prophet
  • chpt 17-19. Fall of Babylon, Messianic judgement of Armageddon
  • THE RETURN OF ‘THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS’ 
  • The Far Future:
  • chpt 20. The Millennium, Satan rebels/defeated, Judgement, lake of fire
  • chpt 21. New heaven and new earth, the Bride, the New Jerusalem
  • chpt 22. River of Life from God’s throne, Tree of Life for healing the nations.

David Pawson explains that each future period has bad news and things get much worse, but the good news is that things will get very much better afterwards. Through it all Jesus encourages his people to ‘endure’ and ‘overcome’ until He returns.

“First, Jesus tells the churches they must deal with internal problems if they are to face external pressures. Compromise in belief of behaviour, tolerance of idolatry or immorality, weaken the Church from within. (LESSON FOR TODAY!)”

For the 2nd period He shows the worst that can happen but believers will not have to go through anything worse! “And the very worst time ahead will be at most a few years”.

Then, Jesus reveals the wonders that will follow in the 3rd period when all believers will be with Him.

CONCLUSION

On a personal note, what impresses me is the comparison of this closing book with the Bible’s first book, Genesis.

Revelation promises a full restoration not only for those who believe in God, to life with Him, but also and because of that for the earth too.

The Tree of Life is a main feature in the garden of Eden, in the beginning, but through it Satan perverted Adam and Eve’s relationship with their fatherly Creator and so they lost and fell from their glory. In the end that usurper gets his just desserts, the saved return to living in the glory of God in the New Jerusalem and the Tree’s leaves bring healing to all people, as it is written.:

But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honour into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it. 27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. (Revelation 21 NKJV)

3 – Different understandings of The Book of Revelation

Continued from part 2:

INTERPRETATIONS OF THE REVELATION 

Thus, this complex ‘end-times’ revelation can only be understood with God’s overall purpose for humanity in mind. So, it’s not surprising that scholars are divided over the Book’s meaning and predictions for the end of 1st Century and any later events it may forecast for the world and the Church.

There are four main ‘schools’ of exposition based upon interpretations of when these predictions would be fulfilled, as below:

  • Preterist  – during the first centuries AD with the decline/fall of Roman Empire
  • Historicist – all centuries between the First and Second Advent of Jesus Christ
  • Futurist – end of final century AD (held by early Church and evangelicals today)
  • Idealist – any century AD, none in particular (treats the Book as spiritual ‘myth’).

Moreover, in ‘Dealing With “Last Things” – The Rapture, Second Coming, Millennium’ my New Spirit-Filled Life Study Bible not only provides a useful summary with charts but also shows EIGHT differing scholarly viewpoints, citing The Last Days Handbook, 1990, by Robert P Lightener, viz:

  1. Saint Augustine’s Amillenial View
  2. A Second Amillennial View (BB Warfield)
  3. Pre-Millennial Pre-Tribulational View
  4. Pre-Millennial Post-Tribulational View
  5. Pre-Millennial Mid-Tribulational View
  6. Pre-Millennial Pre-Tribulational Partial Rapture View
  7. Pre-Millennial Pre-Wrath Rapture View
  8. Evangelical Post-Millenial View

We can now appreciate Hank Hanegraaff’s ‘preterist’ position that Revelation refers only to John’s days 1900 years ago and the persecutions that took place. But he fails to take the whole account into consideration because its closing chapters clearly refer to things that have not happened yet. For example, unprecedented global catastrophes, return of millions of deceased Christians alongside Jesus to overthrow Satan and rule upon earth, Satan’s final rebellion with many nations and demise in the lake of fire, the arrival of the ‘holy city’ and ‘wedding of the Lamb’!

So how are we to understand The Apocalypse? David Pawson suggests using the four main ‘schools’  in conjunction for each of the three main time periods, the present, the near future and the far future (not ignoring the switching between earth and heaven) – yet,

“..the fundamental question is not ‘when?’ but WHY?”

David answers his question:

“Not just to tell us what is going to happen but to get us ready for what is going to happen…Revelation is a ‘manual for martyrdom’…which is why this book becomes so meaningful to Christians under persecution. Maybe this is also why Western Christians in comfortable churches fail to find it relevant.”

2 – A very brief introduction to the Book of Revelation

Posted on by

Continued from part 1, which closes: ‘In fact, some believers disregard prophecy and scholars have various opinions upon this topic and when, if at all, predicted events will occur.  Also, are such things to be taken figuratively?’

The widest divergence in opinion is over the Bible’s closing book – ‘The Apocalypse’, or ‘Book of Revelation’.  In its original Greek this Book begins as follows.:

‘Apocalupsis iEsou christou…’

‘The unveiling of Jesus Christ (anointed one)’, per Scripture 4 All Greek Interlinear Bible, or as the New King James Version translates it:

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants — things which must shortly take place.

[Greek: ‘what which IS-BINDING must TO-BE-BECOMING to-be-occurring IN SWIFTness’] And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John,  2 who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. (Revelation 1)

John is thought to have been the closest disciple of Jesus, and could thereby personally attest to Jesus’ awesome origin, as in the first of three short letters to believers:

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life—2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us…(1 John 1)

The Apocalypse opens by stating its purpose: an unveiling of God’s plans that He gave to Jesus Christ, for sharing through his surviving first disciple several decades after he witnessed Jesus’ resurrection from death. This account tells how John acquired this information. He became Jesus’ amanuensis in writing exactly what Jesus dictated as personal letters to seven churches in Asia as a result of His having visited them.

NOTE: verse 1’s ‘shortly’ doesn’t necessarily imply ‘soon’ but may mean that when these events that MUST occur do happen, then they will do so very rapidly!!

White Door in SkyNext, John was caught up to God’s Throne Room in heaven where he heard and saw visions about what was going to happen shortly and in the distant future when the Age will be drawn to a close with the bodily return of Jesus Christ to rule and reign upon earth. John had to be reminded to write it all down!

NB: It is the only Book in the Bible to open with a blessing for all who read it and ‘keep’, or observe, what’s written therein, and closes with a curse (of loss of inheritance in the Kingdom) for anyone who tampers with its text and changes its message. The Book of Revelation is primarily for believers, not unbelievers.

In Unlocking The Bible, David Pawson defines this genre of literature as follows:

Unlocking The Bible‘Apocalyptic’ is history written from God’s point of view.  It gives the total picture.  It enlarges our understanding of world events by seeing them in the light of what is above and beyond our limited perception.  This gives us both insight and foresight…far beyond that of the normal historian.

He also gives this snippet:

God is working out his plans and purposes within time…He is the Lord of History.  But it is his pattern, which can only be discerned when he has revealed the missing pieces of the jigsaw. (Emphasis added)

(Now where did we come across that notion before?  See Invisible Jigsaw.)

He points out that the first characteristic of the ‘apocalyptic’ genre is that it’s basically moral. Secondly, that it’s often symbolical so the unknown can be communicated in terms of what is familiar, as in analogy or parable, because it involves not only information but also imagination.

Prophecy and interpreting ‘The Apocalypse’ – The Book of Revelation – 1 of 4

Posted on by
Reply

Published 27 June 2013 as Note on Christian Prophecy and The Apocalypse about scholars’ differences on prophetic scripture, this is now separated for ease of reading :

Digging into the difference of opinion noted in the Joel Rosenberg re-post unearthed an interesting find – one connecting into what I wrote ten weeks earlier about the origin of this blog. I’ll say more about that later.

Some readers may have queried my covering comment to Joel’s post; (it) “includes opinions of a Bible teacher who thinks its prophecies have happened“.  This merely reflects the actual content of The Blaze interviews.

As Hank Hanegraaff’s online radio show is called ‘Bible Answer Man’, my remark may seem to question that title. Those reading the linked article would note journalist Billy Holloway’s statement that Hanegraaff has “a wildly different take on the matter” to that of Rosenberg for he, “rejected the notion that Revelation and other alleged prophecies apply to today’s world”.

How come? Aren’t both men Christians? A little elucidation is called for…

Doubtless both men meet the basic criterion for a born-again believer, as in the Spirit-inspired instruction of the apostles Paul and John:

…9 if you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. (Chapter 10 of Paul’s letter to the Romans; New International Version)

16 For God so loved the world (that’s you, my reader) that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (Chpt 3 of the Gospel according to John; NIV)

So, to have faith in Christ it isn’t absolutely necessary to believe everything in the Bible. In fact, some believers disregard prophecy and scholars have various opinions upon this topic and when, if at all, predicted events will occur.  Also, are such things to be taken figuratively?

Revelation Dream – Tony Puccio

Tony in Arizona brings a most suitable scripture and related vision applicable to the global situation…

My Dreams and Visions

13Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.14But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.15So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.16But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth Revelation 12:13-16

In this night vision I saw a church with an illuminated white cross in front of it. Upon entering the building I saw the congregation facing towards the door…

Living keys, ancient doors, virgin realms & dimensions of deeper revelation – Veronika West

Posted on by
Reply

This posted yesterday on HKP reminds me of a recent dream wherein I discovered, as I was travelling by bicycle (which I don’t) and wearing new glasses, they were rather odd! This was because the eye-side of the lenses was unusual – like on my phone camera of scenes in panorama width, thereby giving me wider vision! 

LIVING KEYS, ANCIENT DOORS, VIRGIN REALMS & DIMENSIONS OF DEEPER REVELATION

“Living Keys, Ancient Doors, Virgin Realms and Dimensions of Deeper Revelation for such a time as this!”

While in prayer this morning, after taking Communion, I was sitting quietly before The Father when I heard a Sound — a Sound that immediately captured my attention – a Sound I have never heard before — a Sound that cannot be explained, or even described with human language.

This was a Spirit Sound — a deep spiritual frequency that suddenly and powerfully hit my spirit man, but strangely, as soon as the Spiritual Sound wave hit my spirit, a brilliant and radiant shard of light suddenly penetrated my heart.

As the Sound and Light touched my spirit, there was a tangible ignition — or activation — that took place deep within me. It was a quickening of the spirit. I could tangibly feel the powerful life source of The Holy Spirit within the Sound and the Light.

Suddenly I heard these Words, ”The Light of The Glory of The Ancient of Days, will now bring a Divine Activation and Supernatural Illumination to The Living Keys who stand before Ancient Doors.

Keys! Keys! Living keys shall stand before Ancient Doors! For I AM The Door, and you are My Living Keys!

Watch! For now Ancient Doors shall open up Virgin Dimensions of My Glory in these days. Realms and Dimensions of My Glory that have never been seen or experienced before.

For these are Virgin Dimensions, where deep calls to deep, for I say again, these are The Days of Divine Convergence, as the new and ancient ways collide!

I say, Come up here! Come up higher, and I shall show you what must now take place.

Come eat! Drink! For a Banqueting Table of Living Revelation is now set before My Living Keys.

I say, these are The Days of Elijah! These are the ways of The Ancient of Days!

My Word and Spirit shall go forth in the mighty Whirlwind to bring a Divine Distinction and Separation to that which is defiled and of the kingdom of darkness, and that which is Holy and Mine!”

Blessings to you all.

2009 Reprise: The Endgame is Now in Play – WE are watched! (Prophecy Progress Update 39)

Posted on by

We where did we get to before this week’s holy diversions?

To continue revisiting 28 Feb 2009 and, if you may not have read, I open by checking the parable of wheat and tares (‘darnel,’ a poisonous weed  that looks like wheat) and then cite Jesus’ instruction for us to “Watch!” for signs of His Return.  The email’s next sections give examples of then current events indicative of the issues expected in the End-times.

Now, I’ll update you on the politically prescient, or prophetic, aspect of the second item below:

  • nurse sacked for praying for patient; contrary to example of how prayer helped Nina fight for life!  (I wrote complaint to local NHS director that his dictat would have killed her!)
  • tyrannical tool of intolerance: equality and diversity – MI5 director warns of ‘sleepwalking into police state’ – lawlessness within society and authorities…

FIRST however, let me be on record: what is confirmed herein and in the next post of British authorities’ deeply reprehensible action exposes their utterly irresponsible waste of resources. They’d be better engaged in the critical priority of immediate eradication of social media that encourages and teaches self-harm and suicide. Every such should be banned and deleted, instead of which governmental authorities suppress legitimate,  nationally beneficial information and debate.

I wrote 14 years ago:

‘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: as for example in Muhammed knows more than the ASA! (advertising Standards Authority). There are other powers of suppression.

NB: AND relevant Now!…

[continuing…]

‘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). Rampant lawlessness now exists not only in society but also within legal authorities – laws not approved by Parliament – ‘snoop and snitch’ culture – correction punished and evil behaviour rewarded – ID cards and routine interception of email and phones – etc etc. Clearly, Banking isn’t the only thoroughly corrupt UK institution.’

Screenshot of the preceding link:

In the continuation of that email I write (expanded below)

‘Upheavals and increasing iniquity reminded me of a shocking open vision of the UK that came ‘out-of-the-blue’ in 2004 of what was going to happen and sensed, “The fabric of your society is so rotten I could easily rip it up”. I recalled having seen old coal sacks falling apart and so I watched and understood that, as He rips us apart, then the Lord would put the backbone back into Britain – just like the Pennine mountain chain bursting through a giant tear in the UK map!’

MI5 DIRECTOR’s WARNING OF 2009 ECHOES NOVEL OF 60 YEARS EARLIER...

The Rapture: a Roman ruse or real prophecy?

Posted on by

If you took time out to dip into the debate on Chris Bennett’s asking “What if the Rapture and Return are one and the same event?” you’ll have found in one day it’s scored over 100 contributions on his Facebook (and just over a dozen on mine).

It’s important to be absolutely clear about this topic in view of a couple of links on Chris’ thread referring to the ‘secret rapture doctrine’ made popular two hundred years ago by John Nelson Darby, of the early Plymouth Brethren, and to the bestselling ‘Left Behind’ books of 1990s and 2014 movie.

Moreover, we’re well aware that very many have written on End-times as though “The End Is Nigh!” – but in all honesty, we can no longer ignore global indications that we are truly living in the times foretold in the holy Bible.

We ARE fast approaching ‘The Day of the LORD’!  Now back to the debate:

The opening gambit of this link is wrong because The Rapture is indeed part and parcel of Orthodox, Catholic and Reformed churches’ teaching (article is of historical interest):

So, now let’s check our ‘New Spirit-Filled Life’ study Bible’s notes on chapter 4 verse 17 of Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonian church. It explains why ‘the exact word ‘rapture’ does not occur in Scripture’ and its ancient origin:
Next, check my boxed Bible received from my Godmother on my 12th birthday – the  Douai-Challoner translation from the Vulgate, ie authoritative Latin Bible translated late 4th Century by St Jerome. It refers to being ‘caught up’:

Bible Study Tools is provides the Vulgate’s Latin text with translation and commentary:

Thus, it strongly implies the ‘Rapture’ will be all believers’ personal Resurrection and Ascension – all at once!

Selah!

Scripture & vision double witness command ‘Watch for signs’! (GPS #93)

A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. (Deuteronomy 19:15  NKJV)

Upon waking in the night it ‘dawned’ upon me that both independent items I posted  yesterday ‘coincidentally’ command, “Watch!” – for signs of Jesus’ Return!

Mine revisited my first email citing the End-times parable of the wheat and poisonous weeds (darnel) and my hearing “This is All about to be fulfilled” and quoted Jesus’ reiterated instructions to “Watch”.

The other. a vision given to Chris G Bennett (of Jesus returning to Jerusalem) closes, “Watch and see and rejoice as I move!” says The LORD. “Watch and see!”

Note however, that although I’d spotted and captured his header/image on Facebook I didn’t get around to reading it in full until copy-pasting from His Kingdom Prophecy, as this is much easier method for editorial purposes on this blog’s WordPress than Fbk.

So later in the day Chris posted the following (tap/click here to read discussion) and I shared it on mine with comments, some of which are below:

A God-incidence! Jerusalem Return – Chris G Bennett

Posted on by
Reply

WOW WOTTA GOD-INCIDENCE Thank You Lord for this is what I saw first when opening my phone’s Facebook earlier this morning, and CONFIRMS what I believe the Lord told me to revisit my first writing on the End-times, as in previous post:

As published at His Kingdom Prophecy

JERUSALEM RETURN

I’ve shared this before — but it seems particularly relevant this year!

I had this Vision years ago, at least 15, maybe 20 plus and I resurrected it in 2018.  Now The LORD has caused me to focus on it once again.

I just saw Jesus returning from heaven to Jerusalem!

Let me start from the beginning.  I saw Israel begin to build The Third Temple, on Temple Mount, having cleared away everything of Islam from the site.

I saw no mosque, nothing but a large flat tract of land.  I knew immediately that this was Temple Mount.

I saw builders move in and they were just like Nehemiah’s wall builders — they carried tools in one hand and rifles in the other.

Just then I saw War break out.  Missiles rained in from everywhere, but they were exploded high in the air by God, or by Israel using their ‘iron dome’ defence system.

This went on for a while and, while there was damage to the city, most of it remained in place, unscathed.

Then I saw the nuclear fallout cloud.  As it started to settle on Israel a wind blew up from the Mediterranean Sea and carried the cloud off to cover all the lands surrounding and attacking Israel!

Just as this was happening, I saw Him.  I saw a very bright column of light descending through the clouds.

There in the middle stood Jesus — returning to the Mount of Olives.  Looking as described in Revelation, He came down to earth, the returning Messiah King.

I wanted to weep for joy but I couldn’t, and I have to remind myself that, if we are taken in the Rapture, then we we will not be here for the second coming!

All I remember in this Vision was shouting His Name at the top of my voice — along with many who appeared around me.

Oh the peace that fell at that moment!  As Jesus stepped onto earth, simultaneously every knee bowed and every head bowed too.

Then the hosts of heaven started singing their praises to the King of Kings. It will be a glorious cacophony!

Wow, all I can say is WOW and hallelujah \o/

I truly believe we are going to see these things sometime quite soon, maybe within a few years.  I truly believe that first, starting about now, there will be revival sweeping through The United Kingdom, Western Europe, and America particularly.

Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America won’t miss out.

My heart is just full this morning — joy, hope, love, but mostly Jesus.  I believe this has already started in America, but it has yet to start in Europe.

It has certainly started in the East — particularly China, Afghanistan, and Iran.

After Revival comes the Rapture, then Antichrist and Tribulation, then the second Coming followed by the millennial reign.  Oh the joy to come – hallelujah \o/

I feel the heavens rumbling directly overhead as the Army of The LORD positions itself ready.  There is real revival coming to The United Kingdom, and even to Rotherham where I live — another dark and lost place that needs The LORD so badly, so desperately, right now!  This real Revival is spreading all over America too.

Sometimes, The LORD lifts me high above the world to see what He is really showing me.

This morning, I see a map of both sides of the North Atlantic.  As I watch, I see a scythe, an old-fashioned scythe, sweep across The United Kingdom, Europe, across the Atlantic, and through America — starting on the East Coast and moving Westwards like the pioneers of old.

Such power as I have never seen and have not the words to describe.

SWEEPING through Europe and America carrying all before it.  Wave after wave certainly, but that first wave – oh my!  Such power and authority – such signs, wonders, and miracles.

“Watch and see and rejoice as I move!” says The LORD. “Watch and see!”

2009 Reprise: The Endgame is Now in Play – Watch!

Upon awaking and focusing upon the Lord this morning I’m impressed to revisit my very FIRST writing circulated to just a few friends and church leaders for information.  It was written 14 years less one month, that is 167 months, ago. (Those digits = 14!)

NOW, it needs us to re-consider the GREAT import of Holy Spirit’s audibly alerting me to THE TRUTH of our Times, as well as another portion on political prescience that has now come to pass. The primary matter only, follows a brief summary of the whole, as copied from my original email of 28 February 2009 (hyperlinks in light blue):

> wheat and tares parable, “This is ALL about to be fulfilled” – sifting the Church!

> Jesus stressed 7 times “Watch…be alert…on your guard…”

> nurse sacked for praying for patient; example of how prayer helped Nina fight for life!

> tyrannical tool of intolerance – MI5 director warns of ‘sleepwalking into police state’ – lawlessness within society and authorities…

ENDGAME IS NOW IN PLAY – 28 February 2009

Dear Friends – further to Rev’d William Smith’s recent request re Christian Freedom, may I offer some observations upon our times and, in another message, suggest a way forward?

Last year (2008), I encountered two conflicting claims about Jesus’ explanation of the parable on the end-time harvest of wheat and tares (Matt 13:36). So I went to check scripture but upon opening my Bible a deep excitement exploded within as I heard, “This is ALL about to be fulfilled” – WOW!!

Hence, my previous remarks about a sifting of the Church – in preparation for a rapid ‘sHifting‘?

Jesus urged His disciples to look out for and observe signs of the times. Regarding their questions about His return at the end of this Age, the earliest Gospel account has Jesus stressing 7 times “Watch…be alert….on your guard“ (Mark 13).

Matthew 24 reports Jesus saying 4 times, “Watch…and when you see…”  followed by the parables of the burglar and of the virgins > “Don’t be caught napping!”  [Church still asleep?]  Luke’s account has, “Be always on the watch…” (21:36) and chapter 12 has sections on watchfulness and interpreting the times.

In each Gospel Jesus commands, “Learn the lesson of the fig tree…”.

Also, the Apostles went on to give more indicators (Acts 3:20-1, Hebrews 12:26-7, 2 Peter 3, 2 Timothy 3 and the first and second letters to the Thessalonians).

New Wineskin, “Outrageous prophetic word” + Oscar nomination

The whole world is to become an ‘Upper Room’ – Johnny Enlow

I trust my readers have had a much better opportunity to watch at leisure the video linked to the above post than my three attempts and listening at speed. So  I may not have grasped the terrific fullness of HOW the Lord is bringing the awesome New Wineskin as shown me ‘God-incidentally’ on Christmas Day.

I’ve managed to insert these points into Chris Moyler’s above-linked notes (emphases mine):

1:11:30 New realities and perspectives on historical events and ‘red-pill’ realising we’ve been lied to – the first step towards the new order or NEW WINESKIN

1:27:40  Where there’s Holy Spirit there’s a NEW WINE – heard a Hillsong singer, “WHERE THERE IS NEW WINE THERE IS NEW POWER!”

[That’s akin to a word brought when prayer ministry began at our Sunday’s service that “Power and Praise” are essential.]

ALSO, it will become clear from below why I’ve transcribed Johnny Enlow’s actual comments following his introduction preceding this time-point:

35:00  “The OUTRAGEOUS prophetic word the Lord gave me and told me to give for today..we’re going to go into…

“The WHOLE WORLD is going to become an Upper Room and that begins to happen NOW – RIGHT NOW!” 

The WHOLE world becomes an Upper Room – this is such an amazing thing that He is saying – Oh man, I’ve got so much on this from the Lord it’s amazing!

35:25  He gave me this line I think that’s part of a crazy movie  – I don’t recommend the movie, that’s nothing to do with it! – but the attached word was:

“EVERYTHING – EVERYWHERE – ALL AT ONCE!”

Johnny then shares his understanding of what the Lord is doing and how it’s a bigger, global version of the Day of Pentecost, so if possible please carve out time to watch.

Now, back to this post’s title I thank Jenny K in Mexico for alerting me to this news, as  captured this morning – IS THE LORD CONFIRMING VIA THE HARVEST FIELD?

THE HOLY SPIRIT AND GLORY OF JESUS CHRIST ARE DOING MUCH MORE!

Apostasy, Repentance and the Remnant Church – Chris G Bennett

Posted on by
Reply

In view of recent news of the anti-biblical views in the Anglican and Roman churches, proving we are truly in the End-times return of the Days of Noah prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself, this posted on Monday makes a welcome word from the Lord:

(Perhaps you may notice the ‘happen-chance’ timing  – need to count how many times it’s been happening?)  Screenshots from Facebook, text by His Kingdom Prophecy:

The LORD has once again spoken to me, and is speaking through me, about the Laodicean state of much of The Church in Britain, America, and the world today.

Lukewarmness and apostasy has overwhelmed so many otherwise sincere and earnest folk by the imposition of limitations and restrictions which, for whatever reason, The Church simply failed to oppose.

They just accepted the limitations, rolled over, and submitted to a heinous over-reaching authority that sought to strip our basic human rights to a minimum.

Add to this that much of The Church has succumbed to worldly pressure to accept every ungodly, unbiblical vision of ‘inclusiveness’ in The Church.

I gave voice to this quite simply when I said this to a friend today, “Sadly, over the last three years in particular, much of The Church has abdicated all responsibility for preaching the gospel and even for actually being The Church as she was meant to be!”

There is only one way forward — Repentance and Renewal! There is only ONE Way, only ONE Church, only ONE Gospel, only ONE Word, and ONE Blood.

No other way will do. No other Gospel, Word, or Blood.

The Remnant Church, drawn from all denominations of believers, must lead the way in this; must turn The Church from her wicked apostate ways back to the ways of The LORD.

Yes, there needs to be a major, major movement from the few to lead the many back to the faith of the generals through the centuries.

Back to the God revering, Bible believing Church as she was always meant to be. Back to preaching the unashamed Gospel of Jesus Christ, Him crucified dead and risen, His atoning Blood, forgiveness of sins, and a life pleasing to God rather than one pleasing to man.

The Church must once again say,

“I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the Power of God for Salvation to everyone who believes.” Romans 1:16

The Church must once more preach,

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only SON, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have Eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.” John 3:16-17

And The Church must teach,

“And when I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come as someone superior in speaking ability or wisdom, as I proclaimed to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I also was with you in weakness and fear, and in great trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in Demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of mankind, but on The Power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 (Emphasis all mine)

The gifts and baptism of the Holy Spirit must once again become prominent in the Remnant Church all around the world.

I prophesy that not only is this already beginning to happen, but it will continue to happen until The LORD returns for His bride.

The army of God here on earth is not defeated, and never will be, but is returning in power in order to bring great glory to her King.

There have been doubts over Germany’s official support of Ukraine, but with the latest  news Veronika West was able to post this last night on a prophecy brought last March coming to pass (but note she reports her Facebook may be ‘shadow-banned’). She writes at His Kingdom Prophecy:

“So today, I was sent a link [on Facebook] to a News headline that really got my attention…As I read the headline, The Holy Spirit immediately quickened to me a powerful Prophetic Word I received, where The Spirit spoke to me about the Nation of Germany, “Three Times the Bear Shall Bite“.

Dream of a felled tree, as seen ‘down under’

Posted on by

My apologies to all my friends and readers in Australia & New Zealand but I couldn’t resist the double-entendre to give more clout to this dream reported ‘underground’!

Further to the previous post on contributions to Censorship ‘down under’…, Tim in America advises again of another email from NZ.:

“Tim,

I have just had an awful thought four might signify the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

You probably remember Tim my very clear dream about the felled trees previously.
Well, a couple of nights ago I had another dream about a felled tree, only this time it was a giant one.
Will a big leader be toppled?
Kia Ora,

Alex”

Here is my response (Tim):
Alex: Your dream about a giant tree that was felled is very, very interesting. Similar to Daniel 4:14:
“He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches. . .”

Daniel 4:14 is talking about Nebuchadnezzar. Your dream is talking about someone very powerful. I don’t think it is about “Biden”, because the fake president is merely an actor and really has no power. Maybe your dream is about someone like George Soros or one of the Rothschilds (Jacob Rothschild?).

Here is a very interesting video of Jacinda Ardern and Barbara Judith Hutchinson Rothschild (wife of Victor Rothschild and mother to Jacob Rothschild). Some people believe that Jacinda Ardern is part of the Rothschild clan.

Holy Spirit’s GPS is not only digital but also ‘underground’

THE LORD’S ‘GPS SYSTEM’ (Global Prophecy Signals) NOW HAS ‘UNDERGROUND’ MESSAGING, LIKE IN WORLD WAR II..

Overnight extras to ‘Weekend News-mix ..‘ from Tim Shey in Idaho and AA in New Zealand AFTER reading Triple D Rod confirmation “This morning I woke up to 4:44”:

‘Richard: Sometimes I think that we are not unlike the French Underground back in World War II. We have this secret pipeline of Holy Ghost information running from New Zealand to Idaho to Great Britain evading Fascist censorship so that it can be broadcast all over the world. The Lord has a sense of humor.”

“Yes right on! By the way Tim, my Telegram covers significant developments on your side of the ‘Pond’.”

“Thanks. I already have a link to your blog which has a link to your Telegram page on my High Plains Drifter blog.”

Next, Tim sends this link: Exposing the Real Jacinda Ardern

Then he comments, “Here is another email from AA:

“I love it Tim and Richard the FOURS are taking over. It is the March of the FOURS or is that FORCE.

We know who is leading the force, the conqueror on the white horse of Revelation.

Trevor Loudon is a gem on Bitchute. He is a a Kiwi living in Britain and alerted us to Jacindas Communist sympathies.

You will notice that in the Socialist Youth speech in Hungary in 2008 she mentioned “Comrade” 14 times.

Yes Richard I would say we are the Underground, possibly “The Three Muscateers”. We will need a secret code next.

Kia Ora, Alex”

“Tim, the pun “four=force” is MOST apposite for last item seen in my round-up of overnight news on ‘The Storm” is this by Derek Johnson:

“The Marines “Force Design 2030” ☠️🇺🇸 Great read 💯

https://www.marines.mil/Force-Design-2030/

ITS FRONT PAGE SPELLS IT OUT!”

“Richard: We are most definitely on the same Holy Ghost wavelength. I read the introduction of “Force Design 2030” by Derek Johnson this past hour….

This is from Prophecy 444 News: “Davids of the Hour”

https://444prophecynews.com/davids-of-the-hour-a-changing-of-the-guard-h/

“MOST apposite, thanks Tim. I recall the Lord describing DJT as “My David” in one of very few prophecies I heard from Kim Clement.”

Alabaster box and Tipping Point of Nations – Veronika West

Posted on by

THE ALABASTER BOX AND THE TIPPING POINT OF THE NATIONS

The Tipping Point of the Nations, as the tears of His Bride are turned to The Oil of Revival.  His Glory is being poured out!

I see a broken Alabaster Box and I hear these Words, “This is a sacred Box, where beauty comes out of brokenness, where a fragrance is released that only The Hand of the Great Creator and Inventor of heaven can manufacture — a sweet and sacred fragrance that is carried to The Nations — a fragrance that brings the Kingdom of Heaven to the earth.

A fragrance that goes forth as gentle as a fresh spring breeze, and yet in its essence, its potency is like strong smelling salts that has the power to Ignite the sleeping senses and revive the dry bones!”

I hear these Words,  ”Many are called, but few are chosen to carry and steward such a divine fragrance that has the power to change and transform the spiritual atmosphere from darkness into Light, for this Heavenly Fragrance has no price tag, silver and gold cannot attain it as its both timeless and priceless!”

As those Words echo loudly in my Spirit, I see many broken Alabaster Boxes lying at the beautiful feet of The Father — and I see Angels standing amongst the broken pieces.

And I hear these Words,  “Take off your shoes for this is Holy Ground!”

I see a stream of tears that runs through the fragments of the Broken Boxes and I hear these Words, “Those who sow in tears, shall reap in joy.”

Then I see the loving hands of The Father come down upon the broken pieces of the Alabaster Boxes, .and a River of Golden Oil runs forth from His hands, and I watch as the broken fragments begin to come together.

Suddenly, I see a beautiful Golden Bowl being brought forth from the broken and shattered pieces, a bowl filled with the tears of His Bride.

I see the Golden Bowl being lifted high into the air, where the hands of the multitude of Angels take hold of the Golden Bowl and I watch as the Bowl is taken higher and higher.

I see The Nations of the earth come up before me, and I hear these Words,  “For the tears of My Bride shall be turned to The Oil of Revival!”

Suddenly, a powerful and intoxicating fragrance fills the atmosphere, and I watch as the hands of the Angels begin to tip out the Golden Bowl.

I hear these Words,  “Watch!  For Tipping Point of mass Revival in The Nations….”

And I see Golden Oil being poured out upon The Nations of the earth, and then I hear these Words, “The Golden Oil of My Glory, shall be poured out upon The Nations!”

On hearing those Words, suddenly I see and feel a powerful Wind begin to blow, and I see The Father breathe upon The Nations of the Earth, and as The Breath of God goes forth, I see fires, raging fires,…being ignited across The Nations.

Then I hear these Words,  “Watch!  For the unquenchable Fires of Revival shall sweep across The Nations of the earth — for the time of Kingdom Reformation and Divine Transformation has come!”

Blessings to you all.

The whole world is to become an ‘Upper Room’ – Johnny Enlow

Watch at > https://rumble.com/v24mqoy-johnny-enlow-unfiltered-episode-40.html

Chris Moyler has kindly provided a very helpful  outline of Johnny’s important message with time-points as follows, which is similar to a message of 31 December I’m mulling over. Some technical issues delay discussion for 10 minutes and at 11.45 point Johnny says that in March 2016 the Lord told him:

“Trump is going to win and Trump is going to cause a new dynamic where the world will be known as ‘before’ and ‘after Trump’!” – What’s amazing is that’s 7 years and I said to the Lord that You’ve had me NOT back off Your narrative, and He said ‘That’s exactly your assignment, NOT to back off the narrative!”

Chris writes:

THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BECOME AN UPPER ROOM

Beloved…
Please listen to Johnny Enlow on Elijah Streams! I’ve listened to all of it, and he was on fire!

He opens by talking about the nature of modern-day prophecy. The LORD doesn’t so much want to give dates. Rather, he wants the prophets to paint a narrative, build faith, and spawn a large company of prophetic saints.

23:00  Unique Rescue Plan from Heaven wherein we are to participate, similar to that of the Exodus – this is part of my assignment…

25:50  Since Rosh Hosanna 2001 three occasions when the enemy tried to shut down the world economy and was thwarted! (at 28 mins: signified by 7-7-7 periodicity)

27: For example : Aircraft crash on 15 Jan 2009 on River Hudson all 153 passengers saved – same number as fish caught by disciples obeying Jesus’ post-Resurrection instruction (read also Number 153, Signs and Symbols)

30:40 …Trump began his Presidency at 70 years, 7 months, and 7 days old!!

31:30 A rescue operation to take out the World Mafia

33:10. The world will be known as before and after Trump, because of how the LORD works through him

There WILL be a new worldwide Quantum Financial System to replace WEF’s plans to enslave humanity

35:00  “The OUTRAGEOUS prophetic word the Lord gave me and told me to give for today”..wer’e going to go into…

“The WHOLE WORLD is going to become an Upper Room and that begins to happen NOW – RIGHT NOW!”  The WHOLE world becomes an Upper Room – this is such an amazing thing that He is saying – Oh man I’ve got so much on this from the Lord it’s amazing! 

35:25  He gave me this line I think that’s part of a crazy movie  – I don’t recommend the movie, that’s nothing to do with it – but the attached word was:

” EVERYTHING – EVERYWHERE – ALL AT ONCE!”

36:05 Regarding the Pandemic-
as Joseph said to his brothers “What you meant for evil, God meant for good.”

37:37 There’s an aspect of that which God wants us to take for people and situations in our lives. There’s a positioning taking place all around the world and this is back to The Upper Room.

38:00 “That’s the way the Lord talks to me in strange ways and not so strange ways. Right after getting that on the Upper Room there’s this brand news song by Kari Jobe (composer of ‘The Blessing’) “The Dove” with a line: “Make this place an Upper Room.”

Then Johnnie encountered three more instances relating to ‘Dove’

41:00 He wanted a sabbatical after much travelling and not wanting to be ‘on-call’ BUT the Lord says, “You’re NOT having a sabbatical, I’ve given you an overflow and you’re going to speak out of an overflow!” He’s given me more understanding and insight…

41:40. It’s been 7 years since I first began speaking about the coming SHIFT and “Back to Eden.” – confirmed by sign of 8.9 earthquake in Antarctica.
Is this still on track?

43:25 Revisiting previous words, eg in 2012 when many saying it’s The End (Mayan calendar) he was told he’s to cast all such declarations down.

44:30 OT prophets were mostly singletons and validations took many years. He was told “I give you a message – you give it! I may or may not vindicate you on earth I may or may not grant time to see it, but your assignment is to obey Me and do what I tell you to do!”

45:10. “I’ve given you a general narrative, which remains.”
“Has the decision been rendered in the Courtroom of Heaven that will secure the new economy and that will overthrow the Old Guard of Government?”
The LORD’S response was to keep showing a picture of a GAVEL.

46:10. Bobby Connor recently shared on Sid Roth about the GAVEL, and he will soon be on Elijah Streams

46:25 THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE.
– the LORD reminded Bobby of a prophecy that he’d been given 13 years ago, and shared on Elijah List.

48:15. China, India. Philippines and Indonesia will EXPLODE in the Holy Spirit

50:10 Life in Israel was NOT good at time of Acts 2

Eleven Effects of The Upper Room:

1. Confusion
2. Amazement
3. Marvel
4. Boldness
5. Non compliance with religion and religion Spirit.
6. Miracles, Signs and Wonders
7. Strengthened in God’s Sovereignty
8. Non- compliance with Civil Authority
9. Generosity and Sharing
10. Unity and One Accord
11. Fear of God, which Protects the Flame.

1:10:00
Eleven Corrections to the Church
1. Dead Order
2. Indifference
3. Normality
4. Timidity
5. Compliance to Religious Spirit
6. Disease/DEBT
7. Orphan Mindedness
8. Idolatry to Government
9. Selfishness/Frugality
10. Division and Dissention
11. Familiarity with God
Acts 17:6
“These who have turned the world upside-down.”

1:11:30 New realities and perspectives on historical events and ‘red-pill’ realising we’ve been lied to – the first step towards the new order or NEW WINESKIN

1:19:45. The whole world will be available as an Upper Room, but in order to experience it, people will have to turn aside – It will NOT come in public places at first.

1:21:00 Acts 17 Unknowns turning world upside-down supernatural ability and events.

1:24:20.
Habakkuk 2:14 ‘For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.’

Chapter for this year: Psalm 23 especially closing verses tables prepared for disciples in presence of their enemies and where the Glory of God comes…not seen before what is coming Everything Everywhere and all at once…despite darkness across society

1:27:40  Where there’s Holy Spirit there’s a NEW WINE – heard a Hillsong singer “WHERE THERE IS NEW WINE THERE IS NEW POWER!”

A New Unity – Chris G Bennett

Posted on by
2

This prophetic Word-cum-vision of Chris G Bennett published yesterday harmonises so well with the in-depth article pastor Thomas Harry wrote a few weeks ago, New Church Wineskin for 2023 & Beyond, plus some pointers in the Footnote. Here’s Chris’ posting courtesy of His Kingdom Prophecy:

A NEW UNITY

Everyone talks about unity in terms of denominations. It’s been tried and failed abysmally for years, although a remnant of the so-called Ecumenical Movement still lives on even today.

The LORD just showed me a slightly different viewpoint on Unity.

Suppose, just suppose, there came a movement towards a greater unity of doctrinal beliefs — still retaining denominational fences — heaven forbid we should ever do all those power structures out of business!

Sounds crazy, a total contradiction of terms, doesn’t it? After all’s said and done, nearly ALL denominations were founded on doctrinal arguments.

The fact remains that, in the first century, the Church was one Church, with all their issues. It was only when pride, spiritual pride, stepped in that one group stopped talking to another group and denominations were formed.

So what did I see, or hear, The LORD showing me?

The first thing I saw was Cessationism ceased as more and more people started praying in tongues!

Then I saw Replacement Theology torn up as people saw God’s Hand upon Israel.

Next came the Prosperity Gospel, closely followed by one-fold ministry being replaced by five — again as more were baptised by The Holy Spirit!

So-called Hypergrace liberalism was next, once again as The Holy Spirit moved in revelation power amongst them.

As I saw these things, and more, I sat shaking my head, as much in disbelief as in wonderment.

I heard The LORD say, “You can’t imagine it, even less see it happening, can you?”

I replied, “No LORD, I can’t! I mean, this would take such a quantum leap as I could never really imagine it happening?”

“Watch!” was all The LORD said.

What happened next made me gasp in joy, wonder, excitement — you name it.

Every emotion ran through me. I saw a wave of The Holy Spirit flow over the entire earth. It re-ran, like a video-clip on repeat.

I saw a wave of The Holy Spirit flow over the entire earth. this time I focused in a little bit, then closer, then closer again.

I saw entire Churches all over the globe being baptised by The Holy Spirit!

“But LORD, they don’t believe in this!” I yelled at one point!

“They do now!” answered The LORD, with a chuckle. Some, of course, still rejected it, fought against it, even ran those who received it off the premises. But many received their baptism with great joy — and much repentance.

Then I watched as newly baptised people came out of their denominational walls and joined together in unity of the Spirit.

Old doctrinal differences swept away by the realisation of The Truth, God’s Truth, there was a great joy among God’s People, as they began to come together as one and in one accord.

As The Word says,

“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.” Acts 2:1

“Can this really happen, LORD?” I asked.

He answered with a scripture,

“But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27

I was amazed, then reminded of Habakkuk 1:5,

“Look among the nations and watch — be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you.”

~ Chris G. Bennett

  Chris Bennett came to salvation in 1962 but didn’t begin ministry until 2007 — a late-comer! Now mandated by The LORD to prophesy and open old wells of revival in the U.K., but especially in Wales. He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them! Founder, with wife Linda, of their ministry The Upper Room Encounter.

RB FOOTNOTE:
  • Such non-existent Unity 50 years ago is what drove me to seek the Truth in the wrong place, as told in Jesus Freed Me! – Hence, my being non-denominational.
  • I was astonished to learn it’s in accord with not only the background reading to my posts on Pope Benedict XVI regarding my supposition in 2013 over the Prophecy on the Popes by 12th Century Archbishop of Armagh, Malachy O’Morgair, and the ‘last pope’  Francis’ accession, but also with a prophetic message to Catholics and others about expected changes across the Church from New Year’s Eve and which align with End-times scripture. I read that within hours of mulling over the significance of the Pope’s passing on that day.
  • I read comments that other prophets are bringing similar words…eg Val Thomas on Fbk “Johnny Enlow had an encounter with the Lord, calling it ‘an outrageous prophecy ’where the Lord said “The whole world is about to become an Upper Room” “Everything, Everyone, Everywhere’ – Seems a similar word and confirmation to me.”
  • Our Mens’ Saturday Morning study of Luke’s account of Jesus’ post-Resurrection  appearances included necessary reminders of John’s upper-room account.

The Lord’s directions on today’s ‘2×2’ journey

Posted on by

Another piece of The Invisible Jigsaw is put into place The way our online morning began and ended with my number 22 it could so easily  have turned out differently.

Upon reflection, I could have followed up on Veronika’s posting on Biden as soon as I got to my desk. After all, the screenshots were already in-hand and I simply had to pop them into a post with some text and hit ‘publish’.  BUT no, I got on with a follow-up to last night’s item on the ‘scam-demic’ ONLY to find that four hours later my timing had been organised for finding a news item at 22nd minute of 12th hour of the 12th day of this new year – as though the Lord was fitting a piece into His Invisible Jigsaw.

SO, this personal account is offered simply for encouragement, edification and blessing.

Very soon afterwards Nina returned from meeting a friend for coffee. I went to greet her and she began telling me about her travelling troubles, BUT then the Holy Spirit touched her, thereby proving He was in it all.

When ready, she began to tell how this morning’s reading about ‘road’ and ‘map’ got directly applied to the actual details of her outing:

I’d noticed she’d set off earlier than usual, allowing 45 minutes for a 20 minute journey of 10 miles. It was well to have done so because she encountered SIX lots of roadworks and one long diversion. She arrived with one minute to spare but it took 4 coffee shops before the friends found a table free.  Whilst talking they naturally ignore their phones – but knew they each (ie. 2×2) had to take sequential calls requesting urgent prayer help.

Later, upon visiting a library the librarian told Nina she feels strongly something BIG is going on, so they both (2×2) prayed as her manager went to early lunch. Again, a double lot of two witnesses!

CONCLUSION – this must be a day the Lord is stressing that we walk closely with Him on our individual journeys, as shown above. (This image has a link for info only.)
