Ephesians 2:11-22 and significant events over 16-17 May 2026

Kindly bear with me for I wasn’t sure how to entitle this writing. Trying to recapture and encapsulate what I believe the Lord was stirring in my mind and spirit soon after sunrise today is far from easy to sum up last weekend spiritually on this side of ‘the pond’.

Without going into fine details of London’s Unite The Kingdom rally and Washington’s Rededication250 prayer day in its National Mall, there’s a personal ‘TON OF BRICKS’ insight that l now know launched me into glimpsing what the Lord may be doing.

BUT how and what do I name this?  So I start back-to-front with the video of Sunday’s service which features later, YET I notice its title’s cited scripture is incorrect – HUH!!! So I fast play to check and get poked to use it’s correct verses in the this blog’s title…

LO and behold – and I sense the Lord’s chuckle – for increasingly my personal numbers keep popping up, and this time AMPLIFIED!  The verse numbers are not just that of my boyhood house ‘212‘ to which Jesus took me in a vivid dream Visitation, they not only get partially doubled into ‘2.11-22‘ but in doing so also show my birthday number 22 and half its value of 11.

SO, let’s check the scripture Richard Lloyd read at 3Counties Vineyard from the second chapter of Apostle Paul’s letter to the church in Ephesus, emphases are for later:

Brought Near by His Blood

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.

Christ Our Peace

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 peace16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity17 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.

Christ Our Cornerstone

19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

I hope you may be able to take 45 minutes to listen to Graham Sharp’s exceptional talk for he brings it straight into our tumultuous times:

This passage of holy writ’s message is immensely pertinent and APPLIES NOW!

Ostensibly, Saturday’s rally was about the political state of Britain, but it has a far higher spiritual significance as UNITE  THE  KINGDOM – OF GOD, does it not??

Moreover, the same UNITY of Spirit was being – and continues to be – sought earnestly in America:

‘TON OF BRICKS’ REVELATION

In the room downstairs earlier the previous morning, Saturday 16th May, 18 men from churches in Haslemere area met as usual over breakfast to continue discussing the Beatitudes. We are at Matthew 5:33-37 on OATHS- PLEDGES-PROMISES-VOWS and the Bible is quite clear that making ‘promises is a serious matter.

For some reason one of us comments about the Jewish people being excluded from all the blessing of the New Testament but I mention it won’t be forever. Then opposite me another says “They declared, On our heads be his blood!” as recounted in Matthew chapter 25, viz: (GOSH, another 22 and this time at the start not close of passage)

22 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!” 23 Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”  24 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it.”

25 And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children”.

When my brother so said, I suddenly had revelation that from God’s perspective in their having Jesus blood on their heads the non-believing Jews became covered by that sinless blood as a shadow-substitute; not exactly the same as the full forgiveness of sins and mystical, sacramental eating of His body and drinking of His blood.

Thus, that insight later led me to realise that Keir Starmer, like high priest Caiaphas, had made a profoundly prophetical pronouncement about Unite The Kingdom being a “A fight for the soul of our country” but which had a different diametrically opposite view of far higher spiritual significance to what they’d both presumed in their evil deception !

Selah!

BTW. I DIDN’T PLAN TO PUBLISH THIS AT 22:00 HOURS. A legal matter that cropped up in the afternoon prevented my checking and finalising ’til just now at 21;59
SO, WE HAVE A GOD-INCIDENTAL TRIPLE ’22’ – thank you Lord.

PM Starmer issued a high-priest Caiaphas prophecy for Britain!

We’re in a fight for the soul of this country, and the Unite the Kingdom march this weekend is a stark reminder of exactly what we are up against. Its organisers are peddling hatred and division, plain and simple.

“We will block those coming into the UK who seek to incite hatred and violence. For anyone who sets out to wreak havoc on our streets, to intimidate or threaten anyone, you can expect to face the full force of the law.

“My government will always champion peaceful protest but will act decisively against hatred. We all have a responsibility to speak out against those spouting vile divisive views wherever we see it.

“We are a country built on decency, fairness and respect, at our best when people from different backgrounds come together in common purpose.  That is what we must fight for.”

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/pm-were-in-a-fight-for-the-soul-of-this-country-as-more-extremists-blocked-from-coming-to-the-uk-ahead-of-unite-the-kingdom-march

This was mentioned in the previous God-incidental major national public events in the UK and America with screenshots contrasting a brief version of the above with one of President Trump reading 2Chronicles 7:14, from king Solomon’s vision of the Almighty:
“..if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. [15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. 16 For now I have chosen and [d]sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and [e]My eyes and [f]My heart will be there perpetually…”]

Now compare the GROSS hypocrisy of Keir Starmer in not only failing to block but also actually permitting those who incite violence and hatred against Jews and Israel into Britain – contrary to his above empty boast! with the unwitting prophetic claim of high-priest Caiaphas when plotting to kill Jesus whilst in Jerusalem celebrating Passover after having resurrected his friend Lazarus from death (John 11):

49 And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, 50 nor do you consider that it is expedient for [e]us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.”
51 Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

In its blog ‘A Fight for the Soul of the Country’ published yesterday, Voice for Justice UK states and pointedly asks,

Sir Keir Starmer was unquestionably right – we are in a battle for the soul of the nation. But the question is, whose side is he, and His Majesty’s Government, on?’

Read that 2-page in-depth examination and answer to that vital question, which comes as absolutely no consequential surprise of a Prime Minister having cursed our nation:

Has PM Starmer gone against Genesis 12.3 to bring curse upon UK?

YES, as many mighty men and women of God have known all to well for years, Britain is now in in a mighty battle between the Kingdom of God and the devil and its domain.

Praise the Lord we’re on the winning side.

2016-26 Domino Effect: Personal and blog full circle #39

EPHESIANS 2:10

‘For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.’ (New King James Version, BibleGateway.com)

Upon hearing that chapter’s first ten verses taught at Sunday morning’s service the Lord struck me with how that tenth verse has actually played out in my life, especially in the last few days as shared on this blog and in going ‘full-circle’ dozens of times – plus my birth day and year and childhood house numbers (22, 47, 212) frequently popping up on items that appear on social media!

TEN years ago today I republished our late sister Patsy Southway’s post, Month of May: Domino Effect of her vision of the Lord deeply encouraging people, as in this extract:

“…Then God said to me that during the month of May many will see the beginning of a ‘domino effect’ in their lives. As God’s finger touches the very first domino; the rippling effect will be breath-taking!…”

Most certainly I can attest that’s happened personally in some small ways, but please take time to read and check it out for yourself before I revisit my own Footnote therein and update a particular ‘domino trail’ regarding President Obama and his negotiations with Iran:

Update on Revealed Prophetic Timeline – Veronika West

Posted this morning on Veronika’s Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook I comment, “OHH LOL my birthday number 22 not only keeps on coming up but now as scripture references our dear sister brings as “DOUBLE 22s”.

A PROPHETIC TIMELINE REVEALED (UPDATED)

UPDATE:
Melchizedek Priests Rising at a Time of Increasing Deception and Darkness

With all this talk of UFOS*** and ALIENS, I felt impressed yesterday to update this Powerful Prophetic Word.

Yes it’s long, but if you can bear with me, you just may be blessed!

God has a Divine Order — and the Plumb-line of Heaven has Fallen.
It is time to align!

In the last few months, God has been speaking to us here in Ireland concerning the “Melchizedek Priesthood”.

It’s been a time of profound Revelation and a Journey that we have embarked upon in recent weeks.

As we celebrated our Passover Feast, God moved powerfully through Teaching, Impartation and Activation with regards to The Melchizedek Priesthood.

I released Prophetic Word on the 10th January 2026.:

Good morning Friends! As you can see this is a long post, but I encourage you to grab a cuppa and read, weigh and Pray over what I am sharing here.

By the Grace of God, it will give some Prophetic Insights into the Prophetic Timeline, I believe God showed me we are on.

Here Goes…

On the AI image of Donald Trump as healer of America

Readers who follow my Facebook may have seen my few comments on the controversy over the AI image of Donald Trump as a healer. As expected, a men’s breakfast Bible study group flagged it up on WApp discussion but I didn’t want to be distracted and kept quiet as they echoed the opinions of outrage in extensive comments. Then I comment:

‘My tuppence worth:
Holy Writ states WE followers are to be like Jesus and do the works He did – EVEN greater! (John 14:12, which is why I gave up on church as a child because nobody was doing those works and far too busy quarrelling!!).
So the picture isn’t DJT replacing or being Jesus, certainly NOT God, but being and doing what you and I should, “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the REVEALING OF THE SONS OF GOD’!!! (Rom 8:19).’

Of the many commentaries I’ve dipped into as and when possible I strongly recommend this published on World Watch Daily which I was happy to find supports my remarks.
MUST-READ: most excellent exposition published on this Koenig Watch node:

Did POTUS truly lose the plot ? – 2 of 2 God-incidental answers: a ‘madman’ prophetic word

Following on from yesterday’s online reading and discussions a meditation upon Verse Of The Day, Hebrews 1:3 and its blessed context God’s Supreme Revelation (NKJV)

‘The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.’

Afterwards the first incoming notification led to this video. Unusually, I took time to listen at speed and learned Tomi heard a word THREE years ago on ‘MADMAN!’ – akin to Jael.

THUS, a second ‘God-incidental’ confirmation of yesterday’s conversation about Trump losing the plot…THIS IS A MUST WATCH.

Paul Morris in Canada sends this reminder: “I liked your comments re DJT “losing the plot” – those both in the “church” and out of it are clueless as to the fact that YHVH has called DJT to do exactly what he’s doing. He keeps reminding us via Amanda Grace, Julie Green, Barry Wunsch and others that believers are to pray for Donald, not be ‘slagging him’ and agreeing with the deceived or compromised voices that seek to block and/or remove DJT”

HE IS RISEN! – Time and Quantum effects in Jesus’ Resurrection

First published in the early years of this blog and annually thereafter with a few updates:

In preparation for the Holy-days’ weekend Nina creates a tableau for contemplating Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. She’s inspired about what items to collect and arrange, usually including a rock with a central hole eroded by the sea and which we found on a beach. It serves as both the ‘skull’ and garden tomb of Golgotha. For example, the above display has a scarf as a ‘river of life’ flowing out of the empty cave/tomb below the cross. (In 2012 it gave an insight that I’ll share below.)

Maundy Thursday is celebrated as the night when Jesus and His twelve, principal disciples ate the Passover Seder, or meal, in advance of the main schedule in order to be ready for His being the sacrificial Lamb of God.

Following the meal, one disciple betrayed Him by leading Temple guards to capture Him at night for trial by a ‘kangaroo’ court of Jewish leaders. It was a foregone conclusion that they’d demand authorisation of His death from Pontius Pilate, the Roman Prefect, or governor, of Judea.

If you’re unfamiliar with this true story and how it led to Jesus’ gruesome torture, death and burial followed by his amazing bodily resurrection and appearance to His disciples, read doctor Luke’s investigative account and the personal account of Jesus’ closest disciple John.

Later, Saul of Tarsus, a Jewish leader violently opposed to them, had a life-changing encounter with the Ascended Jesus en-route to Damascus. He became known as Apostle Paul and wrote that Jesus had been seen simultaneously by over 500 people post-Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:6 refers).

HEAVEN’S & HUMAN HISTORY’S PIVOTAL TIME

Jesus Christ died so that each of us may be forgiven for our sins. As a result of this new status, we can have direct personal access to Almighty God when we believe in Jesus Christ. As the Son of God, Jesus suffered on our behalf as our ‘scapegoat’. That is, Jesus took the place of death that we deserved because of our sinfulness, for the shedding of a sinless one’s blood was the only way our status could be changed for us to gain personal salvation. Paul explains it this way to the early church in the Rome:

8But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. (Romans 5:8-11, NIV, see whole chapter.)

Now, when I was a new Christian I found that rather hard to understand – but it works! The theological term is ‘atonement’, or ‘substitutionary atonement’. In bringing forgive-ness to the guilty, however, this can cause deep problems for those who’ve been the victim of crimes. After all, why should a killer find forgiveness by God? And what about the victim’s families, or the victim of abuse? They find it very hard if well-nigh impossible to forgive.

In 2012 I heard a Portsmouth prison chaplain address this issue with a concept taken from the criminal justice system: restorative justice. This involves an active dialogue between victim and offender, plus reparation. And it has a sound basis in theology. How?

Jesus was a guiltless victim, directly of those who wanted Him killed, and indirectly of everyone’s ‘fallen state’ of sinfulness, which could only be rectified by His death.

And Almighty God, the Father, is a victim too. How? He’s victim of humanity’s rebellion against Him. For example and especially over the way religious leaders murdered His son – how they seethed with rage when Jesus denounced them! (read Luke 20:9-19). So, every victim can find an identity and affinity in both God and Jesus Christ in their situation. Hence, they can receive God’s own ability to forgive because He will help them choose to forgive those who’ve harmed them. [Lack of forgiveness may be the only thing that hampers God – see Matt 6:14-15]

A TABLEAU IN TIME

During contemplation upon the tableau illustrated above, an insight dropped into mind that the Resurrection created a distinct point in the flow of, or perhaps even a change in, Time itself. That is, the now termed ‘common era’ calendar is the medieval Christian one that counts years from the approximate birth of Christ as ‘anno Domini’. But in fact, a more powerful one would be the point at which things in heaven changed and thus affected our lives on earth and its ultimate role in God’s scheme of creation. This took place at the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, His revival to life from death itself.

That such a concept may be valid can be found in the discoveries about the material of ‘The Shroud of Turin’, the shroud in which Jesus was thought to have been carried and covered during His interment. It is of most astounding significance when examined from the view-point of modern physics.

Apart from the supra-natural or spiritual aspect, that unique, singular event could have naturally happened by means of a ‘singularity’ (a theoretical gravitational effect associated with ‘black holes’, eg. as may have been the starting point of the creation of the universe, or ‘Big Bang’).

Don’t take my word for this but consider that of Dame Isabel Piczek (deceased 2016), famous as a monumental artist and award-winning figurative draughtswoman. Her highly detailed analysis of theories about how the image on the shroud was formed is authoritative, as in the first of several detailed articles here.

Also, as a physicist who may have considered implications from a quantum mechanics standpoint, her conclusions about how the image was formed are most intriguing: it seems that the image of Jesus can only have been created by its hovering equidistantly above and below his reclining bent corpse. Furthermore, this necessitated the body’s levitation – perhaps not an impossible feat during the moment of the Resurrection power-blast?

After all, the disciples had already witnessed Jesus walking on water but were yet to be surprisingly but joyously stunned Him by His turning up in their midst, materialising, in a private room behind closed doors for fear of the Jews (John 20:19) – maybe quantum dynamics principle of ‘tunnelling’, as in On Engaging and Governing Time, came into play? – then forty days later watch Him flying bodily upwards into the clouds!

Dame Isabel succinctly summarises:

We have a piece of cloth and it leads us to a mysterious gate which opens for us, and it lets us see a completely different world, an extraordinary world with extraordinary laws.

Consider these claims by reading those articles and watching this astonishing video of The Fabric of Time dvd. There’s also a discussion of her scientific opinion at In Case You Missed Isabel Piczek’s Wonderful Paper.

‘Coincidentally”, just after having read the last link and revised the preceding references to science (post published 5 years ago), I’m alerted to theoretical physicist Mehki’s new post on ‘black holes’ and ‘event horizons’ (see Looking to the Horizon). The discussion thread has a valuable contribution from ‘physical reality blog’ that’s pertinent to the Shroud site’s discussion of Dame Isabel’s analysis and indirectly reconnects it back into quantum physics!

2017: ‘Coincidentally’ amusing that bloggers ‘hidden’ on opposite sides of the world (Britain and New Zealand) were preparing items on the fabrics that Jesus Christ was buried with – the full-body shroud and the head linen – in Joseph of Arimathea’s private tomb. My post updated on Wed 12 April 2017 was scheduled on Thurs 13th for auto-publication Sun 16 April. On Good Friday 14 April Joanne Rolston published news of the ‘Sudarium’ in AB-solute Proof – The Blood That Speaks.

It’s ‘Good’ Friday…BUT they don’t know Sunday’s Coming!

With a fresh understanding of Jesus’ identity as the Aleph & Tav (Alpha & Omega) being hidden in the Bible’s opening sentence, and its first word pointing to salvation, PLUS Father’s name shared with Moses describes His mode of death, now follow Dr Shadrach Meshach’s Lockridge’s renowned deeply stirring exhortation…

Jesus’ Crucifixion described within the Holy Name of God

First published herein April 2017. Scripture verses courtesy BibleGateway NKJV:

According to Steve Maltz, author of God’s Signature, the only time the sacred, personal Name of God was spoken by the ancient Israelites was during worship in the Temple in Jerusalem, and especially on the Day of Atonement when the High Priest pronounced it ten times.

The Talmud has many warnings about using the Most Holy Name – it is also regarded as having special powers of healing. Apparently knowledge of its pronunciation was lost after the fall of the Temple in AD70 prophesied by Jesus Christ (Matthew 24).

The knock-on effect of that event, together with the Roman Church’s withdrawal in the third Century of financial support for churches in the Holy Land founded by Jesus’ own ‘kith and kin’, or ‘Desposyni’ as recounted herein, was the great loss of a full understanding of the Church’s Hebraic roots.

Hence the confusion and doctrinal disagreements over Jesus claiming, “I am in the Father and the Father is in me!” (John 14:10).

Digging deeper we encounter an astonishing revelation of that double-identity!

From translations of Hebrew, the post-Shakespeare English-speaking world referred to God’s Name as ‘Jehovah’ or ‘LORD’ (letter ‘J’ was then starting to replace ‘i’). However, Jews preferred well-known descriptive titles such as ‘Elohim’ – God, in all the fullness of His attributes; ‘El Shaddai’ – Almighty; ‘El Sabaoth’ – Lord of heavenly hosts; or Adonai’ – Lord, and more often than not the reverent term ‘Ha Shem’ (The Name) sufficed.

Scribes, or sopher, needed to take special care in praying before writing the holy name, which must be done without interruption. Were a mistake made, it must not be corrected but the whole page discarded and the page restarted. Numbering had to be carefully handled too because Hebrew characters represented both letters and numbers. So the logical way of writing 15 is to add a yod (ie 10) to a hey (ie 5) and likewise for 16 (a yod to a vav). But this never happened because, as part of the sacred name, they could accidentally be read as this name. The Holy Name is shown below, but read from right to left:

Ha Shem

“Yod-Hey-Vav-Hay” first appears in ‘The Book of Beginnings’ account of  “When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens” (Genesis 2:4)

This Name was first revealed when Moses encountered God in the burning bush after he’d asked Him whom should he tell the Israelites had sent him to get them out of their slavery in Egypt.

God replied, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you’. ” (Exodus 3:14)
Steve writes, “Interestingly and contrary to popular belief, the Hebrew word used in this passage…is not YHVY (he shows Hebrew characters). So, what’s going on here? Is it His name or isn’t it? In this Exodus passage, the word used for His name is “Aleph-Hey-Yod-Hey”.

“This takes the meaning of “I will be”…(which) shares a similar three-consonant root with YHVY in Hey-Vav-Hey and Hey-Yod-Hey…and as they’re related are both ways of describing God”.

Hence my liking of describing God as “Always” and “Now”, the latter being used by Charlie Shamp too.

HOLY FATHER-SON UNION REVEALED & THE CRUCIFIXION FORETOLD

As in those preceding links, literary Hebrew developed out of pictographic forms that represent gestures and their meanings. We logically surmise both original visual and later written forms were known to and, therefore, used by the Lord in communicating with Abraham and his descendants through Issac and Jacob, and used by Moses and his scribes in compiling the first five books of the Bible.

Comparing the literary and pictorial forms of the name Moses heard and recorded as being from the Lord, we have this graphic (credit Heart To Heart):

Hebrew is read right to left, ie ‘hand-look-nail-look’, but if we read as normal left to right we find not only the Name of God describing who He is, the fullness of His character and abilities, but also its exceptional prophetic nature in it foretelling the pivotal point of His action plan for humanity: the crucifixion of His Son Jesus Christ!

BEHOLD – A NAIL – BEHOLD – A HAND

AND THIS ‘WORD’ SHOWS TWO PERSONS!

Could this indicate that Christ was hidden in the Father when Moses encountered them at the burning bush but manifested as ‘The Angel of the Lord’ or pre-incarnate Christ ? It’s worth reading Exodus 3 carefully again and note Who is speaking to Moses…

Moreover, the pictographs graphically portray God as ‘hands up’ in relevant connection with a nail.

Putting all this together into one picture we get a typical image of Jesus on the Cross at Calvary, where long nails or spikes driven through Jesus’ wrists damage the median nerves thus making His hands bend into the ‘claw position’ – as in the later version of letter Yod!!

Jesus Christ’s identity hidden in the Bible’s opening sentence

REPRISE 14th April 2020:

We continue (2020) previous post’s conclusion on Jesus’ knowledge of mathematics, as  drawn from Jonathan Hill’s thesis, with this startling discovery:

ALPHA-OMEGA HIDDEN WITHIN GENESIS 1:1 (AS ALEPH-TAV)

In Appendix I (pages 202-203) on the meaning of number 37 and its palindromic partner 73, Jonathan says both form the numerical value for the fundamental Hebrew word ‘wisdom’. He tells how this pair play a role in a multiplication, the result being the precise number of the Hebrew for the creation verse of Genesis 1:1. He goes on to relate this to 666 and a diagrammatic representation, which he interprets as meaning:

‘This transformation represents the dispensational truth that at the second coming of Christ, the dominant spiritual hierarchy of the world changes from 666, the number of the ‘beast’, to 12 – the governmental number of Israel. All this information including this powerful intervention of God is elegantly and visually encoded in the first verse of the Bible.’

This claim continues by divulging this astounding mystery:

Furthermore, this relates to the next post on how the ancient Hebrew characters of God’s name describe Jesus’ crucifixion, and to which previous version my American reader Tim Shey submitted this highly instructive video:

REVELATION 1:8, 11 – 21:6 – 22:13

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” (NKJV, BibleGateway.com)

Amazing geometrical symmetry between Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 (cont’d)

REPRISE: posted 26th April 2018 and re-published as an introductory connection for subsequent postings Holy Week 2026, but without opening non-applicable paragraph:  

Now, where’d I got to a fortnight ago today…my drafting this suddenly interrupted upon spotting that what I was doing had gone public ….Fortunately, I’d got to the end of saying how Hebrew and Greek alphabets can be used numerically. Now let’s continue:

LETTERS = NUMBERS

SENTENCES = SUMS

TOTALS = SHAPES & PATTERNS.

Previously, we learned about the astonishing inclusion of mathematical constants of ‘pi’ and the exponential form ‘e‘ – ratios of circles’ circumference/diameter ratio; the base of natural logarithms and rate of growth shared by all growing processes – each within the first verse of Genesis and John respectively, as revealed when applying the same mathematical operation of multiplication and division to their letters and words, NO MATTER IN WHICH ALPHABET; that is, using this ‘conversion’ ratio:

[(All letter values multiplied together) x (Number of letters)] / [Numerical values of all words multiplied together) x (Number of words)]; or as Dr Paul Bluer in Bible Maths:

Jonathan R Hill writes on page 39 of Unlocking The Sign Miracles of John (1st edn),

‘Apply this ratio to Genesis 1:1 and ‘pi’ is revealed accurate to four decimal places. Apply the same ratio to John 1:1 and ‘e’ is revealed, again accurate to four decimal places. Remember that Genesis and John were penned by two different authors in two different languages, hundreds of years apart (if not over a thousand: RB) These fundamental scientific and mathematical constants are markedly embedded within the two creation verses of scripture.

Not only are they powerful witness to the creation of the heavens and of the earth but also to the One who created. In this way, the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible are authenticated as the authoritative media of God’s Word – as God Himself could have placed these mathematical constants there. No other explanation is possible.’ (Emphasis mine)

Verses:
  • ‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.’ (Genesis 1:1)
  • ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.’ (John 1:1)

Genesis 1-1

GEOMETRICAL SYMMETRY

In addition to the above, an exciting geometrical and, therefore, optical relationship exists between those two verses when all their letters have been changed to numbers and added up!

Then, using the principle of number triangles outlined in Post-Resurrection miraculous catch of 153 fish, the totals calculated for Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 can be regarded as snooker balls, or small squares, and positioned into geometrical shapes. The sum for the value of Greek letters of John 1:1 forms a perfect plinth, or trapezium, which exactly fits the triangular number that can be formed by the sum of the value of Hebrew letters in Genesis 1:1, viz:

The sum of Greek letter values is precisely 3,627 and the sum of Hebrew letter values is 2,701, which forms a perfect equilateral triangle (as erected by the construction of a Vesica Piscis, shown in that post). Each of its sides consists of 73 small squares that represent one unit in the ‘conversion’ value of alphabetical letters. It’s noteworthy that 73 is also the numerical value of the Hebrew word for ‘wisdom’! Furthermore, there are scriptures that assert the world was created upon wisdom, for example:

    • Book of Proverbs – ‘The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens’ (3:19).
    • Prophet Jeremiah – ‘He has made the earth by His power, He has established the world by His wisdom. (10:12).

John 1:1 reveals that Jesus was with God in the beginning and thus He was before all creation, and Paul similarly writes at Colossians 1:17. Given that precedence, then it’s logical that John 1:1 is seen to support Genesis 1:1 in this mathematically visual way!

SUMMARY

So far, we’ve learned the Bible has proven and demonstrable mathematical meanings buried within its text when letters are converted into numerical values. Moreover, many forms of mathematical operations and principles may be discovered, eg.

    • standard arithmetical operations
    • non-complex geometrical shapes
    • Venn diagrams
    • square root
    • factorials.

And that’s only when taking ordinary three-dimensional space into account. Also hidden within Genesis is a descriptive name of God and a direct link to the nature of Time! But that’s for another time…meanwhile, click to read what ‘coincidentally’ appeared today!!

Triple-S prophecy echoed in Kemi Badenoch’s Passover message

You may recall from my triple “Wake up!” postings of 12 February the first of two SSS prophetic words from Mark Iles calls us to “STAND UP, STEP UP, SPEAK UP!” and so I’m delighted to read this Pesach message Kemi Badenoch, leader of the Conservative Party, posted this morning (thank you Helen Lineen – emphases below added): 

“Why is this year different from all other years?

Because in other years we haven’t seen Jews murdered in a synagogue here in the UK. Because in other years we haven’t seen Hatzola ambulances torched in the middle of Golders Green. And because in no other year have I met so many Jews asking me whether it’s safe for them to stay in the UK.

This year I can’t write the usual sort of Passover message. I am tired of reading platitudes and warm words, expressions of solidarity which ring hollow when we can all see what is happening around us.

I did not learn about Passover from reading the Haggadah or even in church, but from watching The Ten Commandments over and over again. Even as a young child in Nigeria, growing up in a Christian home, the story of liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt – a journey from oppression to freedom, from exile to homeland – was singularly inspiring.

It was only as an adult that I learned the deepest message of Passover: that for Jews, gaining freedom is not a one-off historical event, but is something which Jews have to fight for and guard in every generation.

An acquaintance said recently: “As a black person in the UK, I’ve never experienced the level of racism or intimidation which Jews are facing now. People wouldn’t delve into conspiracy theories about an attack on black people”. This is exactly how I feel.

Too many Jews have lost freedoms in the past year. The freedom to walk the streets of London on a Saturday afternoon. The freedom to go to university wearing a Magen David. The freedom to go to school without security guards, to pray in a building which doesn’t look like a fortress – the freedom to do the sorts of things that all of us should be able to enjoy in a free and democratic country.

The Haggadah also teaches what I know many Jews regard as an eternal truth: “In every generation they rise up against us to destroy us, but the Holy One, blessed be he, saves us from their hands.”

We have seen over the past year how the first part of this teaching is undeniably true. As to the second part – well, we shouldn’t be leaving all of this work to the Almighty or even, as some hope, the government.

To solve a problem requires facing some hard truths. As a Conservative, I have always believed that more government is not the answer to every problem, although it might be part of the solution. But what is government, if not individual politicians and civil servants? As Faith Minister five years ago, what I saw in Whitehall was a significant degree of cultural and religious illiteracy, combined with a reluctance to speak plainly, and a hesitancy to tackle difficult issues for fear of attack, opprobrium, or difficult constituents. Too many politicians are too scared to act without strong leadership. That is the leadership I will provide.

This is a war of attrition fought not only with violence, but with words, insinuation and sustained hostility. We cannot only confront attacks on worshippers at Heaton Park or on ambulances at Hatzola; we must protest sporting boycotts against Maccabi Tel Aviv and vandalism at Gail’s bakery.

Relentless attacks, bizarre articles published by newspapers like the Guardian, the normalisation of rhetoric that would once have been unthinkable. The aim is clear and determined: to erode the moral legitimacy of Jews, leave you less secure, and at the same time give confidence to those who would see Jews diminished or destroyed.

We have allowed the poison of antisemitism to spread for too long, because too many politicians have been too weak or too cowardly to even say what they see, let alone confront it. That must end.

I’ve been very consistent about what I am for and what I am against. Back in 2016, as a London Assembly member, I asked Sadiq Khan why antisemitic flags were being flown at the notorious Al-Quds march.

As Business and Trade Secretary, my department was stormed by hateful mobs protesting my ongoing trade talks with the world’s only Jewish state. They disagreed with my statement in parliament that people in this country use their views on Israel as a cover to display antisemitism at protests on our streets.

Years later, I now lead the Conservative party – and I know where we went wrong. Politics abhors a vacuum and while the party was firmly behind the Jewish community after the October 7 massacre, there was a feebleness when it came to action. Too many were inexperienced and unclear about how to tackle the situation, while others simply did not believe what their eyes were showing them. We placed too much faith in the belief that tolerance, in and of itself, would fix things. That good people would rally round and squeeze out the bad. They did not.

Let me tell you what a Conservative government under my leadership would do. There needs to be a fundamental shift in Britain. We have a radicalisation problem. Currently, we are fighting Labour’s dangerous approach to defining Islamophobia in a way that risks shutting down legitimate discussion about extremism.

We cannot continue to allow hate preachers to operate with impunity. We will have a zero-tolerance approach to extremism of all kinds including Islamism and the influence of groups like the Muslim Brotherhood in Britain.

We will revoke visas for those who come here and peddle antisemitic hatred and we will bar those who seek to bring it into our country in the first place.

And we will ban the kind of marches we have seen on our streets, where people call to “globalise the intifada”, incite violence against Jews and glorify terrorism. Those who celebrate the massacre of Jews should be removed from public life.

Antisemitism is not just an attack on Jewish people. It is an attack on the kind of country we are. Let’s call it what it is – Jew hatred. Let’s stop using softer words for what is happening. But this will not be enough.

There are things government can and must do. But it will never be enough on its own. This is no mere political fight. It is existential. It’s about whether people can live freely and safely as Jews in this country. And that means it requires courage. What is required is a fundamental shift; tackling the moral and political vacuum that has been filled by a hatred of Jews.

Other minority communities have succeeded through hard-fought struggle and a dogged refusal to accept mistreatment. They made it clear that they would not be ignored, dismissed, or pushed aside.

I am not calling for violence. Quite the opposite. There is a silent majority in this country that supports Jews. I am certain of that. But the problem with the silent majority is that silence is not strength.

Jews in Britain have responded to hostility with restraint and dignity. Those are virtues. But sometimes the answer is not quiet endurance but noisy and active defiance. It’s time for change when it comes to Jew hatred.

Do not accept it. Do not normalise it. Stand up for your rights, your identity, and your place in this country in every way you can. Be visible. Be vocal. Use every lawful means at your disposal: your networks, your institutions, your voices. Challenge those who spread hatred. Pursue those who break the law. Know that you have our support, and you are not alone.

Yes, there will be pushback. I’m afraid that is the price of standing firm. Do not pack up your suitcases and leave. Israel cannot be the only sanctuary for Jews. This is your home.

What I can promise you is this: as a party leader, I will do my bit. I will lead from the front, as I always have. I will do my bit to fight against two-tier policing, double standards, sectarian hate, and to make it clear that there is a cost to antisemitism. But Conservatives cannot do this alone. This has to be above politics.

Earlier this month, I gave a speech against separatism and launched a wide-ranging commission on culture and integration. We need one shared identity everyone can buy into – being British. British Jews have shown how it can be done.

Passover reminds us that freedom is never guaranteed. It must be defended, generation after generation. If we fail to confront this now, if we allow the radicalisation, the hatred, the intimidation to continue, then we risk losing the decent and great Britain we grew up with.

The answer to hatred is confidence and resilience. Success is the best response. We can and will defend these values and we will defeat the scourge of antisemitism.

I wish Jewish people in Britain and around the world a peaceful and meaningful festival.”

7th event: Invitation to explore Revelation and End-times with Alan Shemwell

As mentioned in 6 events over 6 days, Alan messaged me on Friday as follows, and you know from my introductory piece that I can strongly recommend his kind offer :

“Thank you so much, Richard, for endorsing my book. I’ve been following Richard’s Watch since 2016 or so, (before we actually met). Keep up the good work faithful servant.

If any of your readers is a member of a home-group or church that is interested in exploring Revelation and other End-time prophecy, then I am happy to give a 1 hour introduction to help them on their journey (in person if close to home, on Zoom or MS Teams otherwise).

And, subject to availability, timing and the level of interest, I could subsequently deliver a 4 week (1 hour per week) mini-course via Microsoft Teams or Zoom, following the same pattern as in the book. (Or maybe run this a few times a year).

Week 1: from John’s time to the start of the seven-year Tribulation (signalled by a new peace-treaty in the Middle East). Rev. 2 to Rev. 8.

Week 2: First 3½ years of the seven-year Tribulation (which ends when Antichrist reveals his true nature and desecrates the new Jewish Temple). Rev. 8 to Rev. 11. (mid-Tribulation Rev. 14).

Week 3: Last 3½ years of the seven-year Tribulation (i.e. the time of ‘Jacob’s Trouble’ / the (terrible) ‘Day of the Lord’). Rev. 12 to Rev. 13 and Rev. 15 to Rev. 19.

Week 4: Christ’s 1000-year (Millennial) reign on Earth, the final battle and defeat of Satan and his judgement. Judgement Day for all humans (alive or dead). The new heaven & new Earth – including the new Jerusalem.  ‘Eden’ restored. Rev. 20 to Rev. 22. ”

If you or friends wish to take up Alan’s offer he can be contacted by email ataskquestionsoffaith@gmail.com (Ask Questions Of Faith)

6 events over 6 days on Book of Revelation = Pay Attention!

Chilling out after last week’s demanding days online, on the first day’s evening of our long Friday-Sunday weekend we took a friend with us to spend a couple of hours in non-stop Spirit-led worship.  That day Alan Shemwell, author of Trustworthy and True, had sent a thankyou message but I was intrigued to now hear a new relevance of the Book of Revelation from our friend whilst waiting the worship’s start, BUT then totally  astonished to hear the evening begin with this full quotation of Revelation 1:10-26:

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, 11 saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches[h]which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying [i]to me, “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[j]Hades and of Death.19 [k]Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.20 The[l]mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the[m]angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands [n]which you saw are the seven churches…”

SO, MY ATTENTION WAS WELL AND TRULY CAUGHT AND I RECALLED HOW OFTEN THESE VERSES HAD FEATURED AND BEEN REPEATED THOUGHOUT THE WEEK – THEREFORE, IT MUST BE WHAT THE LORD IS SAYING TO THE CHURCH > REPETITIONS STRESSING, ‘PAY ATTENTION!’

So to summarise, here’s the week’s daily sequence of God-incidental ‘jigsaw pieces’:

  1. Sunday – Elam Ministries director on Revelation chapter 1.
  2. Monday – house group discussion of Sunday’s teaching on Rev 1.
  3. Tuesday – Chris G Bennett posts on Facebook above Rev 1 AI-image.
  4. Wednesday – I used image for Triple47 post in drafting introduction to Alan’s book on the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
  5. Thursday – with ‘coincidence’ of Amazon pricing, posted outline of Trustworthy & True + our church’s post-Alpha evening course looks at Revelation.
  6. Friday – read message from Alan about follow-up study groups + opening invocation of worship at Waverley quotes from Revelation 1, as above.

So would there be a 7th event? Had we not been at a friend’s 30th birthday party on Saturday then I may have been able to publish Alan’s message, which is now next post.

Meantime, do listen to this worship song about Jesus’ return…

Elam Ministries on evangelising Iran and on Jesus’ Revelation – A ‘God-incidence’

Not only the superb teaching and content but also the timing of the guest speaker’s visit to 3Counties Vineyard Church on Sunday was of significance for the congregation, as well as personally and blog-wise.

Events last week delayed my intended blogging on a friend’s new book about the Book of Revelation, but I needed to finish what was in mind about Iran and the eventual fall of Islam with its growing schism between Sunni and Shiite branches – LOL as I type that I saw a picture in front of my monitor of branches falling off a tree!

The delayed timing, nevertheless, must be of the Lord – ‘God-incidental’ – because I had first to hear the Executive Director of Elam Ministries (UK) at our church, as in video intro:
‘This morning David Yeghnazar from Elam Ministries is with us as part of our “Mission March” focus on “Shining in the world”. He will be sharing about Elam, which exists to to strengthen and expand the church in the Iran region and beyond, and will also be speaking from Revelation chapter 1:’

The video link starts when our church team-leader Dave Wright shows a 5 minute video of the foundation and history of Elam Ministries in Iran and interviews David Yeghnazar for 12 minutes. After their prayer David proceeds to present a superb message from the 42 minutes mark . The transcript, however, is too long and complicated to publish here.

I was astonished at 48:45 minutes when he says the Book of Revelation gives a clue about Christians in Iran – here and elsewhere shining in the darkness – and tells why its first chapter is his favorite. Then at 1 hour 2 minutes he speaks into the dream vision I had of the glory of Jesus during His overnight Visitation on 13-14 September 1989!!
1:01:56 Then it says, “Behold, he is coming with the clouds.” Verse seven, “And every eye will see him.” Behold, this word behold is so important. 19 times in the book of Revelation you see this word, ‘behold’. What’s it saying? It’s saying, guys, you need to SEE. And you need especially to see Jesus. Behold, HE, Jesus, is coming with the clouds.”

And I note my marginalia scribbled atop that chapter in my small Bible >

‘9/11/19 Vision whilst in ‘Fire’ ministry. J(esus) in brilliant light, me in golden Spirit.’ [Catch The Fire meeting in Fleet with John & Carol Arnott of Toronto.]

Moreover, in describing Jesus as King of Glory, David echoes the penultimate point of my recent Bible Update:

‘The founder himself had engaged in or else planned over four dozen battles and within 50 years of his death another battle between his followers split the movement.
SUCH A DEEP CONTRAST WITH THE EARLY CHRISTIAN CHURCH BORN FROM JESUS’ HOLY SPIRIT ANOINTED APOSTLES – IT DEFINES THEIR DIFFERENCE – MOST DEFINITELY NOT THE SAME GOD!’

So at 1:16:41 of our meeting I hear David say:
“And others begin to see it. One of my dearest friends, the one who was in the video, who was in prison for 5 year. While he was in prison one of the other prisoners came up to him was an Islamic cleric, but he was against the government, so he was in prison. And this Islamic man comes to him and says, “Ours is dead. Yours is alive. Ours is dead. Yours is alive!” And he asked him about Jesus Christ. So my friends, that’s my offering to you….”

SO. please carve out 50 minutes to listen to David’s uplifting, enlightening messages.
HOUSE GROUP DISCUSSION

Monday evening’s house group was highly enthused about that teaching and, with his kind permission, leader Clem Burford allows me to share his following notes:

Do You Love Jesus?
Rev. 1:1-20

  • Looking to Jesus
  • Many have suffered and are still suffering
  • John a prisoner, alone on the island
  • Receives Revelation of Jesus
  • What is true – Needed to see Jesus again
  • Joy in Suffering? – When you’ve Tasted and Seen
  • Blessed is the one who reads the Word Aloud
  • John had to write down what he sees – NOT what he thinks
  • Behold (Look but See) – We need to see, especially see Jesus
  • He is coming with the clouds
  • John Hears a loud voice “Write what you see and send it to the seven churches”
  • Jesus was in the centre of the churches, amidst them, not above or below or
    outside
  • Jesus appears
  • Hair white like snow (wisdom),
  • Eyes like a flame, fire – (Pure) – Makes you feel clean
  • Feet Bronze
  • His voice – many waters flowing, (powerful)
  • Seven stars in his right hand
  • Sword of Truth
  • Face like the Sun shining in all it’s Brilliance and Strength
  • The Grace – We Bless Each Other
  • John Falls at His (Jesus) feet
  • Do Not be Afraid
  • I am the First and the Last and the living One

40 YEARS AGO

Bear with me in returning to the personal pertinence of the morning and remind you my monitoring of Iran began with flicking through a history book on the religions and geopolitics of the Middle-East and seeing simultaneously a rehearsal of the storming and liberation of Jerusalem out of Israel.

Still not a Christian, a couple of years later I was stunned by a foretaste of Jesus’ glorious return on and rapid descent from the clouds.

A couple of years later, being born-again I witnessed in the heavens about the fall of Islam.
20 YEARS AGO

Let’s go back to a memorable evening in mid-2006 and join Lindell Cooley and Kelley Warren somewhere in the Caribbean in the next video, wherein Heidi Baker of Iris Ministries pops up nearby.

Dear Nina was struggling with severe back pain and upon return to UK we learned her lower spine had collapsed and she needed a wheelchair, thus officially registered as being disabled. BUT PRAISE THE LORD, she was healed from that necessity when John Arnott heard the Lord tell him the next year when in Bath City Church to put aside his sermon as He wanted to heal folk. (Click to read about her documented healing)

Ever since then that praise song stirs my spirit, especially this rendition:

Prophetic signs in the Strait of Hormuz -Veronika West

Posted Monday 16 March on Veronika’s Ignite Ireland Ministry at 18:55 and I shared at 22:22 on my Facebook, this is as published the next day by His Kingdom Prophecy:

PROPHETIC  SIGNS  IN THE  STRAIT  OF  HORMUZ:

The Watchmen must keep Watching and Praying!

I hear The Spirit say, ”Watch, for The Birthing of a Nation(s) in a Day is at hand!

Watch and Pray — for I AM speaking through Signs, to the Times and to the Season ahead, the Season of the Birthing of a New Golden Era —

  • to a Great Wealth Transfer,
  • to the War for Oil and to the Ancient Wells where Divine Revival and provision flows,
  • to a demonic choke-hold that seeks to destroy the Destiny of Nations (the spirit of Haman / hangman’s noose),
  • to The Spirit of The LORD now moving Nations through The Narrow Places — through the Eye of a Needle,
  • to The Nations of the Earth now Entering into a Divine Window of Time,
  • to Nations in a Time and Season of Constriction and Birthing Contractions in the realm of The Spirit,
  • to Economic and Financial systems and,
  • to Emerging Political Alliances and,
  • to Global trade routes that are now moving into tighter spaces, where decisions and a Divine Distinction of Goat and Sheep Nations will no longer be postponed!

I say watch! Just as Birth comes through a narrow canal, so the pressures now seen among The Nations are part of a great Shaking, Divine Awakening and the Separation of Nations.

Yes! For Pressure precedes Transition!

Listen! Pay Attention! For My Remnant must not only watch the movements of Armies, Ships and Markets — but they must go up higher to discern the deeper Prophetic Patterns and Mysteries that are now emerging.

See! For I AM revealing the Gates of the Earth — those strategic places where Power, Resources and Influence are now beginning to converge and align with Heaven’s Time.

Watch! As the Gates expose the true dependencies of Nations and the fragility of Systems and Structures built without Justice and Righteousness.

I say — look! Watch, for The Strait of Hormuz surely is a Birthing Canal — a narrow place where War — Travail, great Pressure, and passage that signals what is taking place in the Heavenlies, and to what is now being uprooted, torn down, built and established.

And to that which is about to be Birthed and brought forth into the Earth Realm, Watch!

Again I say — for there are Signs that speak to the Times!

Just as the Strait of Hormuz is a Narrow Gate and a Divine Connection point (VAV) through which the Economic lifeblood of Nations must pass.

So, The Nations are now being driven into a Spiritual Choke-hold where the powers of the prince of Persia and the Ancient Empire Spirits War in the Heavens over the Great Wealth Transfer Coming to the Nations!”

See the Prophetic Parallels and Patterns

  • Genesis 26 (2026) — the conflict over Isaac’s Wells….
  • Joel 3 — Nations gathering in the Valley of Decision….
  • Prophetic Pattern — Strategic locations will become Prophetic pressure points where global tensions will converge….
  • Marine Spirits: Daniel 7 — Empires rise out of the great sea….
  • Revelation 13 — the Beast rises out of the sea….
  • Prophetic Pattern; The Waters — Great turbulence among Nations — The Seas… where chaotic powers emerge and War!
  • Daniel 9 — Stitch in Time/ Window of Time… (21 Days… Prince of Persia)
  • Esther — Purim; Spirit of Haman/ Haman’s Gallows!

Blessings to you all.

Signs in the heavens at Purim speak into the Times – Veronika West

SIGNS INTHE HEAVENS THAT SPEAK INTO THE TIMES

March 3rd 2026 aligns with 14 Adar 5786 on the Hebrew calendar (from sundown March 2nd to sundown March 3rd) the Day of Purim.

We acknowledge this as an Appointed Time recorded in Scripture.

As it is written in the Book of Joel 2,

”I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke….
…. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of The LORD,” Joel 2:30–31.

In Scripture, these heavenly Signs are connected specifically to the Day of The LORD to Divine Intervention and the Judging of Nations, according to God’s Sovereign Timing.

When I saw this picture above, ”Psalms 82” was quickened to me which reveals God Standing in Divine Council to Judge Corrupt Rulers who issue Unjust Decrees.

“God standeth in the congregation of the mighty…. He judgeth among the gods.
…. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked?
…. Arise, O God, Judge the earth: for Thou shalt inherit all Nations,” Psalm 82:1–2,8.

Psalms 82 is declaring that He will Arise and Judge the Nations of the Earth!

Note: 2026; (10) 82; (10) : Ten (10) is the Number of Divine Order.

This Psalm parallels powerfully to the Book of Esther, where Haman’s wicked decree was issued to destroy the Jews, yet God overturned it through a Counter-Decree written on the 23rd day of the (3) Third Hebrew Month, Sivan. See ; Esther 8:9.

While Purim is celebrated in Adar as the day of Victory. See Esther 9:26–28.

The Legal Authorisation that secured that Deliverance and Victory was established earlier in Sivan.

Here we see a clear Prophetic Pattern.

An Unrighteous Decree is Released — a Lawful Counter-Decree is Written — and Deliverance and Victory manifests at the Appointed Time.

Psalm 82 reveals Divine Judgment confronting corrupt Authority.

The (3) Third Month — Sivan — is also biblically associated with Covenantal Revelation…

Exodus 19:1 — when Israel came to Sinai and received Divine Law, and the (3) March 2026 — which Aligns with 14 Adar 5786 on the Hebrew calendar (from sundown March 2nd to sundown March 3rd) — the Day of Purim demonstrates how God Reverses unjust Rulings.

As I said above, there is a consistent Prophetic Pattern.

God Confronts Unjust Authority. He Arises to Judge, and Righteous Deliverance comes according to His Appointed Times!

Blessings to you all.

Bible replay and Netanyahu prophecies being fulfilled

https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel

Thinking of the few prophecies I’m aware of about Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu – and in this blog’s first month I posted about him starting a Bible home study group, and declaring 2011 Christmas greetings – I was pleased to hear Jonathan Cahn on The Secret Behind the Ayatollah’s Fall describe Bibi’s PIVOTAL ROLE in this year’s Feast of Purim (where the Jewish people were saved from genocide about 2,500 yeas ago; the feast is not merely a celebration of survival but a profound expression of joy, gratitude and divine providence).

In fact, last weekend’s pre-emptive attack against their satanically-inspired foe makes a Biblical replay of Purim. Here’s Jonathan (from 21:46 timestamp):

“Now listen to the news report here of what happened to the modern Haman. Satellite images showed heavy damage to Ayatollah Ali Kamenei’s fortified compound, including buildings believed to house his home and the so-called house of leadership. On the weekend commemorating the execution of the evil Persian leader [Haman – see Esther 7] in his own home, the evil Persian [ie Iranian – RB] leader is executed in his own home. Now, the word, now listen to this, the word that was appointed to be read around the world on that day tells of King Saul’s failure to execute King Agag.

Centuries later, the descendant of King Agag, according to the Hebrew [word], Haman will be executed because of Mordecai and Esther. They stop him. King Saul failed to execute Agag. Mordecai and Esther succeeded in executing his apparent descendant Haman… Now listen, King Saul was of the tribe of Benjamin, but he failed. So Mordecai is raised up centuries later to succeed and guess what? Mordecai is of the tribe of
Benjamin and Esther may be as well. So one person of Benjamin fails, the other
person of Benjamin, man of Benjamin succeeds to execute the son of of the one who Saul, or the descendant, failed to.

So the the secret here ,mystery, the one who executes the evil Persian leader will be linked to the name Benjamin, of Benjamin. On February 28th, the one who executed the evil Persian leader was linked to the name of Benjamin. Namely, his name was Benjamin Netanyahu. Benjamin. He must be linked to the name Benjamin. And now, because Haman was such an evil man, when he died, there was celebration throughout Persia.

The death of Iran’s supreme leader, the Ayatollah, brought celebration throughout Persia, throughout Iran, but it wasn’t focused on the Jewish people. It was the Iranian people themselves. You had an Islamic nation celebrating and they were celebrating America and Israel. There were videos on YouTube showing Iranians with signs saying, “Thank you, America.” And then, “Thank you, Bibi.” That’s the nickname of Benjamin Netanyahu. One of these Persian Iranian people had a red cap on that said, “Make
Iran great again.” There were even videos of Iranians waving Israeli flags.
The blue and white of the Israeli flag of their blue and white. Actually, blue and white had a role. You know, the planes that came in and struck down Khamenei, they had on them on them. They had a they had blue and white on them… a blue, a white circle there. Well, interesting. They’re marked by blue and white. Interesting. Listen to this. Esther 8, I’m sorry. It says,
“Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the king wearing royal robes of blue and
white.” Amazing thing. Purim is a festival of joy for the Jewish people.

They sing and they dance and they celebrate about being saved by God because of the ending of an evil leader plan and rule in Persia, Iran.

Well, now all of the world and Iran, the people of Persia, are celebrating the ending of the rule of an evil leader of Persia. And they’re celebrating it…at the time of Purim. I don’t know if they realize it, but they were saved through an ancient Jewish holiday that brought them so much joy.

Let’s bring it home now. What does all this reveal?
Number one is that what happened on that Saturday with America, Trump, Israel, Netanyahu, Iran, the supreme leader was part of an ancient war of Amalek and God that begins with Moses when they come out from the Pharaoh. And when God says, “I will war against Amalek.” In every generation, he will war.

What happened? What happened to the quote supreme leader? He was struck down by the hand of God. That’s what it reveals behind it all. The hand of the holy one. Because the supreme leader of Iran is not THE supreme leader. The Supreme Leader is the holy one of Israel. He’s the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!!

What happened? What does it tell us? It tells us that God is real. This is real. It’s all real. What the Bible says is real. The God of the Bible is alive and well. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is still on the throne of all. The God of Esther, and Mordecai is still moving through the world in history as much as he moved back then in Bible times. Bible times. We’re in Bible times because God is real. It’s amazing – it’s amazing. You see, we’ve got a faith that can that actually we can talk about this actually coming true in the news. There’s no other faith like this.”
