4th July prophetic threshold, “Pigs will fly!” – PS. a validation

Derek Johnson comments on the above on his Telegram at RattleTrap 1776 (visit to see additional images):

‘Judges overstepping the Law again.

Our Founders made the 3 Branches of Government co-equal to each other…

But put them in a specific sequence on purpose…

Legislative who writes and passes the Laws.

Executive Branch who enforces the Law.

Judicial who interprets the Laws.

We vote in the Legislative Branch aka Representatives and Senators.

We vote in the President and Vice President.

Judicial Branch are nominated by the President, Executive, and confirmed by the Senate, Legislative.

When the Judicial Branch, Judges, are deliberately ruling against our, Majority, elected officials…

They’re violating the Laws our Executive Branch Officials are enforcing.

If a Law goes against the Constitution, Marbury vs. Madison – 1803, then it’s up to us, the people, to tell our Elected Representatives, to amend or abolish the Law.

It is NOT that difficult to see the overreach and abuse by these Obama, Bush, and Clinton appointed Judges.

Hence why we needed:

REPRISE: End-Times Briefing 11: an intro’ to the Book of Revelation

FUN FACT:  After correcting the previous post’s reference of 10 years to 11 years duration since the lightning strike on Mecca’s Grand Mosque, and highlighting in red I’m amused to find a notification relating to another 11 having been published on today’s date, but 6 years ago.  Hence this reprise….

It’s now time to expand upon Briefing 3’s listing of Signs from the Gospel accounts and Paul’s letters by considering ‘The Apocalypse’, as in the annexures to Neil Mackereth’s paper dated 21st May: Simplicity.  First, recall Apostle John’s opening remarks on its awesome origin, along with benediction (Young’s Literal Translation – in Greek here):

A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify [it], having sent through his messenger to his servant John, who did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things also as he did see. Happy is he who is reading, and those hearing, the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it — for the time is nigh!

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION

The challenge in introducing Revelation to a new audience, or to infrequent readers of the book, is twofold: how do we make sense of this strange book; and how do we overcome longstanding antipathy to it, which, unfortunately, is often reinforced by those who should be explaining its message. I want to describe what apocalyptic literature is and to provide a basic overview of what Revelation is about.

The Bible, at its opening, quickly moves to the fall of man and the success of Satan. Then follows God’s sovereign selection of His chosen people Israel, the story of their triumphs, failures, trials and tribulations up to the first coming of Christ.  The New Testament describes Jesus’ life and role as Redeemer King, His death, resurrection and ascension to heaven.  At the close of the Bible, Jesus returns, Satan is overthrown and his followers are defeated.  Without the Book of Revelation, the story would be incomplete.

First, I believe it is essential to consider what the writer’s mindset might have been, if we are to have any hope of untangling and understanding the book’s mysteries. Continue reading

I-R-A-N = R-A-I-N : Veronika West (Personal full circle 41)

Praise You Lord that Your hand is overturning their Twelver end-time doctrines for the regime to realise the falsehood and being spiritually duped by satan – thus know they can never be trusted. Thank You that 40 years ago I was ‘grabbed by an Invisible Hand’ by a stunning ‘God-incidence’ relating to Iran, recounted in Bio Info. So we bless You for what Veronika’s now received: 

 

I-R-A-N = R-A-I-N

So early this evening just as I was about to finish actioning a few emails, I suddenly saw the word IRAN, followed by the word RAIN come up before me.

And this is what I saw:   I-R-A-N = R-A-I-N !!

As I saw these two words come up before me, side by side, it literally stopped me in my tracks, and I felt The Spirit of The Fear of The LORD come upon me, as immediately The Holy Spirit quickened to me, Ezekiel 38:22 which says.

”I will execute Judgment on him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of RAIN, hailstones and burning sulphur on him and on his troops and on the many Nations with him”  Ezekiel 38:22.

🔥 Prophetic Note

This “RAIN of Judgement” is part of God’s direct and Divine Intervention to destroy invading forces, magnifying His Name among The Nations.

And if we look deeper, we see that Ezekiel 38–39 portrays this as an Event in the “Latter Days”…where God arises to scatter the enemies of The Nation of Israel, and He reveals Himself to The Nations.

But then The Spirit also quickened to me Jeremiah 49:34-39 which says,

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
…. And upon Elam will I bring the four Winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds….
…. And I will set My throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the King and the Princes….
…. But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam”, saith The LORD,” 
 Jeremiah 49:34-39.

🔥 The Message

Then suddenly I heard,  ”Behold — as it is written by My Servant Ezekiel, in the latter days, Persia shall join the coalition against My People and My land. 

Gog of the land of Magog and his allies, with Persia among them, will come up like a storm, like a cloud covering the land, but I will plead against them with pestilence and with blood.

I will RAIN upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing RAIN and great hailstones, fire and brimstone.

Torrents of RAIN mixed with My Fury shall fall.

The Heavens will open not for Mercy, but for Judgment — that All Nations may know that I AM The LORD!

I say look!  For I-R-A-N shall receive R-A-I-N!

For what was hidden in plain sight, I will reveal as a Sign in this hour.

The Nation once called Persia, whose Ancient borders encompass the land of Elam, shall know that I AM the God who controls The Rains — not only the Rains of Blessing — but the Rains of My Judgment!

I say again, I-R-A-N shall receive R-A-I-N — an Outpouring of My Hand!

For the very name they bear, testifies against them in this Season!

They plot and prepare, they regroup and rearm themselves and seek to align with other Nations.

But Watch!  For I will RAIN down upon the plans of IRAN!

I will confound their weapons and scatter their godless alliances that mock My Name and seek to destroy My Holy Land!

Watch!  For My Governing Hand shall move to demonstrate that no shield, no missile, no coalition or Temporary Peace Plan can stand against The Nation of Israel.

Yet I say, even in the midst of Judgment, there is Mercy for those who will turn to Me in sackcloth and humility.

Even as I Judge the rulers and their Babylonian Systems that seek to defy Me, I shall remember the Ancient Promise to Elam:  “For in the Latter Days, I will Restore a Remnant…”  (Jeremiah 49:39)

Hear this, O Watchmen on the Wall!

For The Time of Signs is come upon the Nations in the Valley of Decision.

I say Watch and Pray — for the People of this Land, that many would turn quickly unto Me, before the overflowing RAIN of Judgement falls!

Pray for The Nation of Israel, My Inheritance, for I will Defend and Protect her and magnify My Name!

For I AM The LORD — I change not!

For I AM the God of Ezekiel and Jeremiah — the same Yesterday, Today and Forever!”  saith The LORD.

Blessings to you all.

Was the Lord’s hand in the storm over the White House? Part 2

Further to Veronika’s prophecy update in Part 1, today Sergeant News Network features the President and CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Dana White:

‘AWESOME! Dana White says President Trump believes DIVINE INTERVENTION played a role in literally splitting up the storm that would’ve disrupted the White House UFC Freedom 250.

“The storm comes and SPLITS at the White House, and goes AROUND the White House and the ellipse. You know the president believes that to his core, it was divine intervention!

Donald Trump for President Facebook notes that ‘thunderstorms had threatened the card with rain and potential delays, but the system parted directly at the White House and diverted around the venue instead of hitting it.

President Trump and Dana White made a grand entrance from the Oval Office area to massive cheers as the fights delivered nonstop action, including multiple knockouts, in front of a fired-up military-heavy crowd celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.’

Also, on Monday Alane Haynes published prophetic insights on her website and do note comments thereto (hat-tip Susan Lunsford at Prophecies, Words and Fufillment for this Season):

HEAVEN DECLARED THE ULTIMATE CHAMPION! GET READY FOR THE KNOCKOUT ROUND!

‘Lightning bolt seeming to be generated from a rainbow hitting Washington Monument on June 13, 2026

As most of you know, around sunset on June 13, 2026, heaven revealed an amazing and extremely rare sight. As a storm passed through, a rainbow appeared in the sky, and it seemed that out of the rainbow a lightning bolt in the shape of Hebrew letters hit the Washington Monument.

To add to this astonishing picture, on the White House Ellipse, the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) Freedom 250 event was being held. The event was delayed because of the storm, and those attending had a direct view of the heavenly phenomena, as the Monument is south of the Ellipse. Multitudes viewed this (not counting the photos, videos, etc. afterwards).

There are so many prophetic implications! I immediately began hearing the Holy Spirit speak and the more I wrote, the more that was revealed. Glory to God, I pray you are as stirred as I am by what God is doing right now!

The Rainbow is a sign of God’s covenantal promises, His incredible grace, mercy and faithfulness! (Gen. 9:13-16) It is also a sign of God’s presence. (Ez. 1:28; Rev. 4:3, 10:1)

Lightning is a sign of God’s presence (Ex. 19:16); His sovereignty, power and authority (Ps. 97:4; Ps. 135:7; Job 37:3; Rev. 4:5); a scattering of His enemies (2 Sam. 22:15; Ps. 18:14; Zech. 9:14-16) and the coming of the Son of Man (Matt. 24:27).

Rainbow Lightning is a very rare event. It only happens at a precise moment of alignment – when an active thunderstorm is retreating while the sun breaks through at the same time. We thank you God for this heavenly display of Your glory and power, of the authority of Your Son breaking through and causing the pervasive storms of spiritual unrest in this nation to retreat in defeat!

Hebrew letters in the lightning. One photo being widely distributed on social media captured the exact moment with the rainbow, lightning and Monument. In it, the lightning bolt’s connection point with the Monument seemed to depict three distinct Hebrew letters – Aleph, Zayin and Lamed.

Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, representing the beginning. The pictograph of it is an ox – strength and leadership. God is in control!

Zayin is the seventh letter, representing perfection, divine rest and completion of a cycle. The pictograph is a vav (or sword) with a crown, often interpreted as power and authority. The King of Kings ruling and reigning!

Lamed is the twelfth letter, representing apostolic/governmental order. It is the tallest letter, depicting the connection between heaven and earth. The pictograph is one of a staff, or shepherd’s hook, representing the leading of the Great Shepherd in caring for His flock.

The combination of these three prophetically reveal the government of God being seen, known and experienced – a return to what was intended in the beginning. He rules the nations in strength, leadership, power and authority; yet the Shepherd gently leads His people as we follow Him from a place of resting in His finished work.

What a beautiful portrayal of the Lion and the Lamb, with even the numerical values 1, 7 and 12 testifying! With great expectation we wait! Lord our God, King of the Universe, all praise and glory to Your Holy Name!

The Washington Monument – We are aware that a freemason designed the Monument, and the Egyptian styled obelisk is also associated with freemasonry, but there is much godly prophetic symbolism as well. The monument is a symbol of our nation being a beacon to the world of freedom and justice. True freedom is found only in Jesus Christ, and our nation was founded on freedom to worship the One True God! The Israelites were delivered from Egypt and we will also be delivered from every ungodly system operating in our nation!

I believe the rainbow and lightning “hitting” the Washington monument declares that this is the time that ungodly roots will be uprooted and ungodly systems dismantled! God is bringing redemption to our nation! This monument is 555 ft. tall and the base is 55 square ft. wide. Can anyone shout, “Grace, grace multiplied five times grace!” I don’t know if the planners were aware of the prophetic significance, but it surely speaks to those that are!

Freedom 250 celebration – This event marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Five sets of fives in height and double fives squared (multiple multiplications of grace), as well as the five times 50 Jubilee years! Biblically, 50 years are jubilee years – celebration, freedom and restoration! This is fifty times 50! Raise a hallelujah – a celebratory shout unto heaven for freedom and restoration! You may not know that at the top of the Washington Monument is an aluminium capstone on which is inscribed the Latin phrase “Laus Deo,” which means “Praise be to God!”

Almighty God, we shout, “Praise be unto you, our God, for Your multiplied grace, jubilee and covenantal promises! Let Your power be seen and known, rainbows and lightning around Your throne, all renown given to You alone!

UFC – Ultimate Fighting Championship! President Trump chose to have a Martial Arts event as one of the 250th Freedom celebrations. He had his reasons for choosing this event; I don’t know why, but God does! Martial Arts mastery requires great discipline, focus and strategic delivery. Can anyone say, “spiritual warfare?”

Spiritual Warfare – I believe that the prophetic signs of the rainbow and lightning striking the Monument reveal that there will be multiplied grace given for high and precise spiritual warfare strategies in the days to come. Press into intercession, get strategy and decree; watch and see God’s hand move mightily!

The Timing of this happening at sunset on the 13th of June 2026 is significant. In the Hebrew calendar the new day begins at sunset, so this occurred on the 29th of Sivan 5786.

Historically, the 29th of Sivan was the day Moses sent out leaders of the twelve tribes to spy out the promised land (Numbers Chapter 13). They all saw the giants and they all saw the incredible bounty of the land – grapes so large that they had to put them on a pole and have two men carry them. Ten of the men gave a bad report – they saw themselves as grasshoppers in comparison with the giants and did not think they could take the land. They were right, they didn’t get to be part of the taking of the land, because they gave a bad report! God forbid that be us when we see the giants! Speak what God speaks no matter what you see or feel!

Only Caleb and Joshua had a good report, they believed God was giving them the land. Caleb said, “Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.” This is the stance we must take in this new season. No matter how it looks, how formidable the enemy seems, we are well able to overcome because God is with us and we have His promises! The giants are the spiritual forces of wickedness and the heavenly army of God is fighting on our behalf as we go forward full of faith and bearing testimony of the power, strength, goodness and glory of our God!

Expect Victory!

We know who the Ultimate Fighting Champion is – the Father has given all power and authority to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The government shall rest upon His shoulder, an eternal government and Kingdom that will know no end! He has already given the knockout blow, and soon all the earth will see and know that as above, it shall be below!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgement and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” (Isa 9:6-7 KJV)

“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” (Rev 11:15 KJV)

Ephesians 4:1-16 – Holy Spirit teaches about enemy strategy

In view of questions over this blogs 40th full circle analysis of the tragic murder of Henry Nowak, I’m grateful to the Lord speaking through a visiting Spirit-filled speaker Peter Gilbert that weekend. (It also prepped me for more bother over that first email’s account of a rapid healing twenty years ago!)  We were on the ministry team and I asked Holy Spirit to bring His words through him – AND HE DID!  I discerned it was so at the time and afterwards he confirmed it. Hence my emphases in the transcript below: 

Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. This is why it[a] says:

“When he ascended on high, he took many captives and gave gifts to his people.”[b]

(What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions[c]? 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) 11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. (NIV BibleGateway.com)

Hit play to hear Pete Gilbert’s whole message from the beginning at 44:40 minutes:

Can I say that again? – I’m making this up as I go along? – No!

So, three three key things that the enemy always uses, three strategies of the enemy.:

He will always go to try to break communication so that people think they’ve communicated, but they’ve been misunderstood.

He will always go for identity. He will seek to rob you of your self-worth and your self-image and your identity – who you are in Christ.

That’s what he did with Jesus. You know all the time: “Did God say who are you?” here you to going for identity.

And the third thing always he goes for is to try to break relationships so that trust breaks down and people fall apart.

And that I think I would suggest to you and we Paul talks about this the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. This is delivered through peace. And you’re living in a world, we’re living in a world which is riven not with peace at all. As we sit in here this morning, there’s somewhere between eight, well, there’s eight major global conflicts going on at the moment as we sit here and somewhere between 50 to 130 minor conflicts of war going on. In 3,400 years of recorded history, there’s only been 300 years of peace.

So peace is not easy. It’s not. But Paul says this is the work of the Spirit, the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

You I know, you know this. Let me remind you. You ain’t going to find peace out there. Peace must first be found here. Peace to you and then peace through you. Which is why you’re called in Matthew 5 to be ‘Peace makers’. Not peace-keepers, not compromisers, but peace makers. The gospel of peace. It’s a gospel of peace.

And I think that’s why Paul then, it’s lovely, isn’t it? In the the next rolling few verses, four to six. I think that’s why he keeps using the word seven times in three verses he uses the word ‘one’. And it’s like he’s he’s emphasizing it spiritually. He’s emphasizing to the nature of God. He’s emphasizing how that lands on us. one baptism, one faith and so on. And so he uses that seven times as a kind of bang bang bang, an emphasis about unity, one body, one spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism…one God and Father of all, the oneness there….”

I’m reminded that whenever we’re under personal attack = we’re over the target!

Clarification on prophetic picture of Washington monument

Apparently some have taken issue with our sister prophesying about the Washington D.C. monument. I’m well aware of its reputed masonic connection of the city’s geography – and that it got cracked due to a magnitude 5.8 earthquake striking northern Virginia on August 23, 2011. [Its white marble and mortar cracked and shook loose; damage being most severe in the shaft’s upper levels and top pyramidion.]

I knew about the massive necessary repairs to adjacent pool and as soon as I saw Veronika’s prophecy I sensed within my spirit THE IMMENSE significance of her word!

Last night she writes,

A Quick Response to those who have condemned me for using the Washington Monument Image as a Prophetic Sign of God’s Plumbline.

First off, can I say that I hear your concerns and will never take them  lightly….

Many Believers will look at the Washington Monument — an obelisk with clear pagan and Masonic Roots — and may feel it’s wrong to see any Prophetic significance in a photo of it.

I say it all the time, we are Called to Test and Discern everything!!   (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

That said, here’s why I felt led to share the image and the impression that it stirred in my spirit as I prayed.

Firstly, I wasn’t endorsing the Monument, its history or any of the symbolism attached to it.

In obedience, I was simply sharing how God can Sovereignly highlight something in the natural to draw our attention back to His Word and to what He is doing in this hour, so we can Pray with Understanding, Wisdom and Knowledge.

A good starting point would be to look at how The LORD has done this before in Scripture and I think of when the Israelites were bitten by venomous snakes as God’s Judgment, and then God told Moses to make a bronze serpent and to put it on a pole, (Numbers 21:8-9).

Anyone who looked at it in faith was healed, and yet in that time the ‘Serpent Imagery’ was deeply pagan in the ancient Near East and often linked to gods, magic, witchcraft and fertility cults and deities.

We see here how God Sovereignly commanded its use as a Redemptive Symbol of Healing and Faith — and in fact it was a powerful foreshadowing, as centuries later, Jesus Himself pointed back to that bronze serpent as a picture of His Crucifixion,  (John 3:14)!

In another example, similarly, when Paul stood in Athens surrounded by pagan temples, altars and idols, he didn’t condemn the culture and walk away, instead he pointed to an altar inscribed “To an Unknown God” — a pagan safety net for deities they might have missed…

And what was remarkable, is that Paul did not affirm their Idolatry.  He recognised their spiritual hunger and used the pagan altar as a point of contact for The Gospel.

Instead of rejecting it outright, Paul actually ‘redeemed’ the symbol saying,  ”What you Worship as something Unknown I am proclaiming to you!”  (Acts 17:23).

By Faith, Paul preached the Message of the True God — the Power of the Resurrection and the need for Repentance.   Please see Acts 17:22-31!

Friends, I only share these examples to show that God is not limited by the origins of a thing.  God can take a Symbol, or even an Image of a Monument steeped in darkness and Repurpose and Redeem it for His Glory — without ever approving its original meaning.

In the same way, the Power of that night-time photo I used to share what I believe God was showing me, wasn’t with an emphasis on the stone monument itself, it was in fact more about the Reflection of the Monument on the Water that created a striking vertical line — a powerful visual of the Plumb-line in Amos 7 — and how I saw the connecting shape of the Hebrew letter (Vav)! [RB’s emphases]

Hence the Image became a simple and yet a powerful Prophetic Metaphor that God used while I was in Prayer, to highlight the Prophetic Timeline in this 250th Anniversary Year in the Nation.

( A Prophetic Mirror is being Lifted and a Measuring Rod is falling in the midst of the Nation(s) in the Valley of Decision. )

A Clarion Call to the Nation(s) to come back into Divine Realignment with God’s Covenant Foundations!

I submit, God will use even these things — like Monuments and specific Landmarks that the enemy has used and influenced and even Images the Devil meant for evil or to bring confusion to demonstrate that “absolutely nothing is Beyond His Redeeming Power to Reverse the Curse and Bring Divine Restoration!”

What was intended by Satan for harm or even Satanic Idolatry — God works for Good and for His Glory, and He uses it to stir the Hearts of Many toward Repentance, Self-Examination and to the Promise of Restoration in this Jubilee-timed Season.

My Prayer tonight, is that we don’t miss what God is saying, because of the Vessel that God may Choose to use and Speak through!

I Believe The LORD is Inviting His People to Look Up, to Turn and Return to Him with their whole Hearts in the Hour!

So, let’s keep our eyes fixed on Jesus!

Test all things by His Word and let’s always pursue Purity, Unity in Humility, as we walk through this significant Prophetic Time together!

Friends, thank you for your continued Love, Support and Prayers.  They are humbly received and much needed…

Blessings to you ALL.. ♥  ♥  ♥

Blessings to you all.

By the way:

PS  Chris Moyler comments:
‘YES, WE KNOW THAT THE MONUMENT is a classic Luciferian symbol.
However, the bigger picture is that the President is replacing ugliness with beauty, failure with success, and economic lack with prosperity.
On top of all this, he openly proclaims Christ far more than many Christian leaders, and he is actively opposing evil in its multiple forms, both nationally and internationally.
The rededication of the nation back to God is no small matter. Johnny Enlow has said that modern history will be known as pre-Trump and post-Trump, because of the vast change for the good that will be accomplished by God through his leadership.
I believe that to be true.
He remains ANOINTED and appointed by the LORD for HIS good purposes.

The Endgame is now in play: prophetic warnings fulfilled (blog’s 40th circle)

REPRISE of pre-blog email 28.2.2009 (as in ‘About’), as my concerned warnings therein are now proving prophetic, as in current news items in my Facebook. Government failings bring Britain increasingly into a fully fledged fascist state!

INTRODUCTION

A disagreement (2008) between two international Christian leaders about the relevance of a scripture to accountability of a controversial evangelist – both of whom Nina and I knew personally through our prayer ministry training and through the Lord enabling her to walk again (see From ‘Disabled’ to Enabled) – led to an awesome personal revelation that prompted me months later to start emailing some friends and church leaders on End-times.

Hence, I began watching events for ‘signs’ and eight years later (2016) got an inkling that evil tares are now ripening and asked the Lord about exposing them. His answer kick-started several hundred posts (see Prophecies-Fulfilled hub’s Exposure of Corruption)

Also, in view of increase in anti-Christian events I included some relevant news and one prediction eventually coming to a head in 2024-5, (see Huge God-incidences: part 1 – ‘RT’ and News Takes My Writing Full Circle).

So, the main points covered in the following copy email, are.:

> wheat and tares > opening my Bible I hear “This is ALL about to be fulfilled!”

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

> nurse sacked for praying for patient! Prayer immediately helped Nina’s fight for life!!

> tyrannical tool of intolerance: equality and diversity – MI5 director warns Britain “risks creating a police state” – lawlessness within society and authorities…

The holy way to treat others and avoid inhumane actions

Appalled by maniacal murders and avoidable deaths and pointing to the obvious actions in common – yet pilloried for doing so – all arising from man’s inhumanity to man, it was abundantly clear that the best course of action over the murder of 18 years-old British-Pole Henry Nowak would be that of the unknown, kind Samaritan exemplified by Jesus Christ when discussing the Ten Commandments given to Moses. Jews despised their Samaritan neighbours, albeit being of fellow Israelite origin.

The debate is recorded in doctor Luke’s account of the Good News as follows (Luke 10:25-37, New King James Version courtesy Biblegateway.com): Continue reading

A Door of Deliverance stands upon before the United Kingdom (July 2018)

Note: This reprised post provides the earlier prophetic material Veronika West refers to in writing ‘As France Burns the Word of God is Confirmed’, as in the latter section of the previous post. Entitled Is weighing vs. restoration on God’s agenda in EU and UK? (F/P #162.13 ie. Fulfilled / Prophecy) it was posted 7th July 2018 herein as follows:

‘This was published a week ago today, Saturday 30th June 2018, by Veronika West. As with all prophetic words and visions it is offered for weighing with the Lord and testing:

A POWERFUL DREAM CONCERNING THE UNITED KINGDOM, BREXIT AND MANY NATIONS IN EUROPE….;

WATCH AND PRAY OVER THE HARVEST FIELDS OF EUROPE, WATCH AND BE READY! FOR THE GNAWING LOCUSTS, SWARMING LOCUSTS, CREEPING AND STRIPPING LOCUSTS HAVE BEEN UNLEASHED AND THEY SHALL DEVOUR AND DEVASTATE THE LAND!

A few days ago during a 7-day fast, I had a very powerful dream that I believe speaks to the United Kingdom, BREXIT, the EU and many Nations of Europe. Now in this clear and vivid dream I was standing high above the centre of Europe. Now in the dream As I looked down at the different countries of Europe my eyes were immediately drawn to what looked like a large black cloud in the shape of a man’s hand rising from the depths of the sea. Now as I remained watching in the dream, I saw that the large black cloud was moving quickly, and rapidly increasing in size, I watched as the hand grew larger and larger and I saw the five fingers of the hand grow longer and longer. Now in the dream I could clearly see the large, black hand fast approaching the centre of Europe.

Now as I stayed watching, suddenly I saw the fingers of the hand begin to write these words upon the landscape of Europe,

“MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN”!

Then I heard these words,

“EUROPE, EUROPE WAKE UP AND WAIL, RETURN AND REPENT FOR THE DAYS OF YOUR REIGN HAVE BEEN NUMBERED, YOU HAVE BEEN WEIGHED ON THE SCALES AND FOUND WANTING, YOUR KINGDOM WILL BE DIVIDED FOR YOU HAVE EATEN THE DELICACIES OF DARKNESS AND WITCHCRAFT AND THE DOOR TO DEATH AND DESTRUCTION HAS BEEN OPENED WIDE OVER THE LAND”, says the Spirit of God.

“EUROPE, EUROPE, WATCH AND PRAY OVER THE HARVEST FIELDS, FOR THE LOCUSTS ARE NOW INVADING, THE GNAWING LOCUSTS, THE SWARMING LOCUSTS, THE CREEPING LOCUSTS AND THE STRIPPING LOCUSTS SHALL MULTIPLY AND INCREASE. WATCH! FOR DARKNESS INCREASES AS THE HAND OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION NOW MOVES UPON THE WATERS OF THE SEA AND LAND”, says the Spirit of God.

As I heard those words in the spirit realm going forth across the land, I began to CRY OUT FOR GOD’S MERCY, MERCY, MERCY IN THE MIDST OF JUDGEMENT OVER EUROPE..!

Then the dream suddenly shifted and I found myself standing over the land of the United Kingdom and I saw an ANCIENT DOOR OPEN WIDE OVER THE NATION, as I looked at the door I saw these words, “FIRE EXIT”, written upon its mantle; now as I looked at the words “FIRE EXIT” I saw the number (91) deeply engraved into the wood of the door. Immediately the Holy Spirit whispered to me, “Psalm 91”, then I heard these words,

“MY BELOVED GREAT BRITAIN, WATCH! FOR A DOOR OF DELIVERANCE NOW OPENS UP BEFORE YOU, MY MERCY NOW MAKES A WAY WHERE THERE SEEMED NO WAY, MY BELOVED, FOR SURELY I TELL YOU I AM THE DOOR THAT LEADS TO LIFE, COME AND ENTER IN QUICKLY, FOR NOW IS THE TIME, NOW IS THE SEASON, FOR THE DOOR THAT LEADS TO DOUBLE RESTORATION AND RESTITUTION STANDS OPEN BEFORE YOU THIS DAY”! (The Dream Ended)…!

PSALM 91 “A DOOR OF DELIVERANCE STANDS OPEN BEFORE THE UNITED KINGDOM, ENTER IN QUICKLY!”, says the Lord….!
Safe and Secure
When you sit enthroned under the shadow of Shaddai,
you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.
2 He’s the hope that holds me and the Stronghold to shelter me,
the only God for me, and my great confidence.
3 He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy,
and he will protect you from false accusation
and any deadly curse.
4 His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you.
You can run under his covering of majesty and hide.
His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.
5 You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night
nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you.
6 Don’t fear a thing!
Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you,
nor will the powers of evil launched against you.
7 Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed,
you will remain unscathed and unharmed.
8 you will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment,
for they will be paid back for what they have done!
9–10 When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High,
our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm.
How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us?
11 God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go,
defending you from all harm.
12 If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you
and keep you from stumbling.
13 You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness,
trampling every one of them beneath your feet!
14 For here is what the Lord has spoken to me:
“Because you have delighted in me as my great lover,
I will greatly protect you.
I will set you in a high place, safe and secure before my face.
15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray,
and you will find and feel my presence
even in your time of pressure and trouble.
I will be your glorious hero and give you a feast.
16 You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you.
For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!”

Veronika West, 30th June 2018

RB’s Note:
  • A couple of very recent words brought by Veronika have proved accurate, but after having scheduled this on Thursday for auto-publication I had reservations about that upon waking Friday morning.
  • I’m generally wary of ‘doom and gloom’ prophecies, (ie. threats of judgement and destruction) unless coming as a warning with promise of blessing (eg that brought in Nov 2015 by David Noakes, which is being fulfilled). So yesterday morning I offered my doubts to the Lord, asking if it’s ok to republish. I immediately sensed, “Do it!”
  • Part of a dream I had this morning involved our going into a side-hall at a church service and where front rows were packed solid with youngsters awaiting the fire of God to fall! Let it be so Lord – maranatha!

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 38

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)
