Does Ezekiel’s 2,500 years-old oracle of the Gog coalition apply today?

In weighing biblical and contemporary prophecies with current events and variety of  insights into the known and implicit causes of the Russian invasion of The Ukraine, I offer the following in regard to observations/interpretations of current events:

Prophecies relating to president Putin’s present and future actions akin to a modern version of ‘The Treacherous Trio of Ezekiel 38′ DO NOT PRECLUDE the Lord using ‘Vlad the Bad’ for His own purposes in dealing with satanic strategies and operations behind the globalist agenda of the New World Order, aka Deep-State, as promulgated in the World Economic Forum’s ‘Great Reset’ agendas, about which I’ll blog next.

Two important prophetic words and explanation re Gog-Magog – Veronika West

These two prophetic words were posted yesterday by Veronika, please read in full at His Kingdom Prophecy by clicking these links:

WATCH & PRAY AS A POLITICAL DOMINO-EFFECT COMES INTO PLAY

A DIVINE CONVERGENCE ZONE OVER A WAR ZONE

To the latter Veronika adds a helpful explanatory Postscript in reply to this question:

“What do you think to Ezekiel 38 Gog and Magog? Because that’s what I’m “feeling”.
“Gog” is “the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal”. The proper translation is “The Prince of Rosh. Meshech and Tubal!” In Hebrew, the word for chief is “Rosh”. That is also the ancient name for “Russia”. So GOG is The Prince of Rosh, or the president or ruler of Rosh. Simply put. – the President or ruler of Russia.”

Yes! The timeline of God is unfolding, but we must also recognise that Satan is endeavouring to accelerate the timeline to destroy the Harvest.

This is why we are seeing the great upheavals, as we pray let us seek wisdom understanding and discernment of the times so we rightly align.

It concerns me that some are just taking the back-foot, because they hold onto a false hope narrative that says, “Don’t worry, it’s all just going to be fine and everything we desire will be sitting in front of us after the dust settles!” This is being in denial not walking in true discernment.

Unfortunately many in The Body have an “Escapism Mindset”. The LORD is not as concerned about our comfort than he is about our character. The road to The Cross was one of suffering, not satisfaction and comfort.

To truly understand the times, we must recognise that prophetically, Nations are now being separated and sifted.

This should not bring fear, but rather a greater expectation for the greater outpouring of the glory that is to come.

Take a look at the Word I gave on what Nations will look like as the weight of His Glory falls… The weight of His Glory will dismantle destroy, uproot and tear-down, expose and purify, but it will also build, establish and plant the new.

When The Glory comes, Nations will be brought to their knees.

Blessings to you all.

Bible Update: Daniel 7 vision of Bear eating 3 ribs – Veronika West’s vision of Russia/Ukraine

As soon as I saw the following image it reminded me of part of the mind-blowing vision of four beasts and ‘one like a Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven’ that Old Testament prophet Daniel was given about 2,670 years ago, as recounted in the 7th chapter of his book:

Ukraine and two areas claiming independence and Russia’s support look like three ribs, the largest as though being a chunk of meat. Read Daniel’s vision in full here, noting:

5 And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’

This is usually regarded by scholars as relating to the ancient Medo-Persian empire but in view of the plainly eschatalogical interpretation Daniel was given, the direct reference Jesus Christ made to his writings, plus their later connection to the Revelation that God gave to Him and shared with His Apostle John, it is not wholly without merit to consider this beast’s imagery as relating to modern Russia – also symbolically known as a bear.

As, for example, this published four weeks ago yesterday on His Kingdom Prophecy:

“Watch!  For now The Bear Nation arises from a time of political hibernation with a hunger for War and an appetite for greater Territorial Occupation and Domination among The Nations!”

During my time of prayer early this morning (24 January) I was so restless in my spirit.  I could tangibly feel the battle raging in the Realm of The Spirit.  I could literally hear in the natural, the clashing of swords and the sound of fiery arrows flying.

I heard the Words, ”A clashing of The Titans!” and as those Words echoed loudly in the Realm of The Spirit, suddenly I was given sight into The Spirit Realm and I saw that Satan was full of rage and he was pacing to and fro.

I heard these Words, ”He knows his time is short….” and as I heard those Words, suddenly I saw that he was draped in a cloud of darkness and the darkness that surrounded him moved like ripples on the surface of water.

As I was given liberty to see deeper and with greater insight into The Spirit Realm, I saw that the cloud of thick darkness that enveloped him was an army of demons, but as I looked and looked again, I saw that this horde of demonic beings were waiting for their new assignments — waiting for their marching orders — waiting to be given their specific targets

Then suddenly I heard The Spirit say,  “Watch!  For did I not say I will shake, shake, shake the Nations of Europe and that a great shaking would take place in the Nation of Ukraine? 

Yes!  For 2022 will be a year of wars and rumors of wars, for a clashing of The Titans shall now begin to take place for greater power and prominence.

But listen, for The Lion of Judah will roar as the Great Eagles soar!  Watch!  For now The Bear Nation arises from a time of political hibernation with a hunger for war, and an appetite for greater Territorial Occupation and Domination among The Nations!

See!  For The Bear Nation now rises high upon its hinds legs on the boundary lines of The Nations, and puffing out its chest and showing its sharp teeth, it seeks to intimidate and manipulate, for its eyes are firmly fixed upon a rich and fertile land.

But Watch!  For The Dragon spirit is now circling over Nations in the midst of a time of birthing.  Open your eyes and see, for the thrashing tail of the Serpent spirit is now stirring up great turmoil and trouble.

Yes!  I say turmoil and trouble shall be seem in The Nation of Taiwan, for a time of great conflict, confusion and strife shall cause Nations to suddenly awaken in The Valley of Decision, for Sheep and Goat Nations shall now begin to take their place, as the gathering and the scattering Winds of The Whirlwind of My Seven Spirits drive stiff-necked and rebellious nations to their knees.

For the plumb-line of My Justice and Judgement has fallen upon The Nations, the battle-lines have been drawn and boundary lines have been set.

For even as the great Bear Nation invades and The Red Dragon strikes…

My Governing Hand shall move swiftly and severely with great might to bring Nations into perfect alignment with My end-time assignment for the greatest Harvest of souls that the earth has ever seen!”

Take note for Prayer:

While praying over this, The Spirit of Revelation began to show me that when the bear comes out of hibernation, it is extremely hungry having used up all its fat stores.  However, a bear coming out of hibernation is also at its weakest.

I heard so clearly The LORD speak of Russia, now coming out of political hibernation with a hunger for War and an appetite for greater Power and Domination, but that Russia, though it gives the appearance of great strength in order to intimidate its enemies, it is at its weakest, and will only gain greater power and strength as it begins to take ground.

The Millennium and the Great Awakening — John Barber

The Millennium and the Great Awakening As those who read my writings and blogs know, “the Millennium” and “the Great Awakening” are two subjects I take particular interest in and have written about. For example, “Prophets of the Bible – the Second Edition” is my recently published book, and included in it is a discussion on the subject of the Millennium, as it forms an important part of Bible prophecy. “The Millennium: The Last Days According to Jesus with R.C. Sproul” is a scholarly and balanced short presentation on the views Christian have concerning the Millennium, noting good Christians with overall sound doctrinal views often disagree on the subject.[…]

THE MILLENNIUM AND THE GREAT AWAKENING — JRB PUBLICATIONS

Prophetical scripture starts day of dual-triplets of blogs and news fulfilling prophecy…

WOW – this scripture popped up on my phone at the start of yesterday, BUT as I mulled it over little did I expect the day to be so specially exciting as it turned out!

AND whilst I write this a prophet messages me in response to these ‘God-incidents’,

“The mysteries of His Glory keep us all on our toes.”

Triple-focus on End-times = pay attention: Jesus will soon return to Jerusalem! (GPS #78)

I’m firmly of the opinion, as in the footnote, that the following vision shared by Chris G Bennett is especially significant, as shown by its ‘God-incidental’ timing through the Lord’s triple GPS, ie His Global Prophecy Signalling system. Note well:

  1. Thursday 27th – 1st Revelation/End-times study at Catch The Fire Farnborough
  2. Friday 28th – 3,600th post: The Great Rethink on Bible prophecy, Neil Mackereth
  3. Saturday 29th – Chris G Bennett publishes ‘Jerusalem Return’ on Facebook:

JESUS’ JERUSALEM RETURN – CHRIS G BENNETT

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

I just saw Jesus returning from heaven to Jerusalem !

Let me start from the beginning. I saw Israel begin to build the third temple, on Temple Mount, having cleared away everything of Islam from the site. I saw no mosque, nothing but a large flat tract of land. I knew immediately that this was Temple Mount. I saw builders move in and they were just like Nehemiah’s wall builders – they carried tools in one hand and rifles in the other. Just then I saw war break out. Missiles rained in from everywhere but they were exploded high in the air by God or by Israel using their ‘iron dome’ defence system. This went on for a while and, while there was damage to the city, most of it remained in place, unscathed.

Then I saw the nuclear fallout cloud. As it started to settle on Israel a wind blew up from the Mediterranean Sea and carried the cloud off to cover all the lands surrounding and attacking Israel! Just as this was happening, I saw Him. I saw a very bright column of light descending through the clouds. There in the middle stood Jesus – returning to the Mount of Olives. Looking as described in Revelation, He came down to earth, the returning Messiah King.

I wanted to weep for joy but I couldn’t, and I have to remind myself that, if we are taken in the Rapture, then we we will not be here for the second coming! All I remember in this vision was shouting His Name at the top of my voice – along with many who appeared around me. Oh the peace that fell at that moment! As Jesus stepped onto earth, simultaneously every knee bowed and every head bowed too. Then the hosts of heaven started singing their praises to the King of Kings. It will be a glorious cacophony!

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

I truly believe we are going to see these things sometime quite soon, maybe within a few years. I truly believe that first, starting about now, there will be revival sweeping through U.K., Western Europe, and America particularly – Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America won’t miss out. My heart is just full this morning – joy, hope, love, but mostly Jesus. I believe this has already started in America, but it has yet to start in Europe. It has certainly started in the East – particularly China, Afghanistan, and Iran. After revival comes the Rapture, then antichrist and tribulation, then the second Coming followed by the millennial reign. Oh the joy to come – hallelujah \o/

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

Sometimes, the Lord lifts me high above the world to see what He is really showing me. This morning, I see a map of both sides of the North Atlantic. As I watch, I see a scythe, an old-fashioned scythe, sweep across the UK, Europe, across the Atlantic, and through America – starting on the East Coast and moving Westwards like the pioneers of old. Such power as I have never seen and have not the words to describe.

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

“Watch and see and rejoice as I move !”, says the Lord. “WATCH & SEE!”

Not being able to do my usual online catch-up after a long weekend and preparing whatever’s in mind, I’m left ‘in limbo,’  BUT I believe the Lord dropped the above title into mind – even whilst being distracted by not having all I want as typing in the conservatory.
  • Thank and praise You again for Your leading Lord…I’d never thought of publishing this word this way because guest posts usually display the author’s name in the title. BUT I’ve been reminded of what the Lord’s been teaching us with examples on the principle of the three-fold elements in heavenly and earthly manifestations. That is, as an aspect of His will being done here as it is in heaven in order to manifest His Kingdom in earth.

The Great Rethink: back to basics, Bible prophecy – Neil Mackereth – 3,600th post!

We’re blessed to receive news this week from Neil Mackereth, author of SIGNS and a regular contributor:

“Dear Richard, I mentioned recently that I felt called to revitalise the huge significance of biblical prophecy, especially as a tool for evangelism. You were kind enough to refer me to some of your earlier material on the subject. Herewith my thoughts!”

THE  GREAT  RETHINK

INTRODUCTION

As some of you will know, I think Biblical prophecy is incredible, mind-blowing and “undersold”! Fulfilled prophecy is confirmation of the absolute authenticity of the Bible; it proves that God is omniscient, omnipotent, infallible, knows the end from the beginning, and has always known all the machinations that will happen in between.

Much of society has consigned the Bible, and church-going, to the mundane, commonplace and dreary: and that is our fault. We Christians urgently need a new approach that catches the imagination of those in desperate need. Troubles are intensifying; people are searching, there has never been a better opportunity.

I feel called to highlight and emphasise the astounding, miraculous and supernatural nature of Biblical prophecy. Prophecy is dispersed (dotted about) throughout the Bible and, therefore, usually not read in a linear and related fashion. For me, listing prophecies in one place brings joy and peace to my heart and mind: it confirms that God is in control.

As ever, I will endeavour to keep what follows as simple as possible. But first …

BACK TO BASICS

The Bible, at its opening, quickly moves from creation to satan’s success in instigating the fall of man. Then follows God’s sovereign selection of Abram (Abraham) and his descendants, to be His chosen people (Israel). Thereafter, we see the story of their triumphs, failures, trials and tribulations; and God’s endeavours to guide them through His elected prophets, culminating in the first advent of Jesus 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 and satan and His followers are overthrown.

The Book of Revelation is the essential finale of the story: God emphasises its huge importance, giving blessings to readers and hearers (Rev 1:3); He makes clear its prophetic nature, and warns of dire consequences for anyone who changes the text (Rev 20:18-19). No other book in the Bible carries such blessings and warnings.

Revelation is difficult to understand but the truth is, many prophecies are unfathomable until their fulfillment [try reading Isaiah 53 (written circa 750 BC) as if you had no knowledge of Jesus’ life and crucifixion]. In considering Revelation, we need to overcome centuries of “Greek World View” interpretations and analyses that seek to apply logic and to deny or ignore any supernatural implications. God cannot be explained by some logical or common-sense process. We can learn a huge amount by a systematic approach to Bible study, but the mystery remains and there comes a point where only faith, and God-given spiritual discernment, can help us.

I will look at the predictions in Revelation at a later date. In the meantime, here are some examples of prophecies that have been, or are in the process of being, fulfilled:

RELATING TO JESUS’ FIRST ADVENT

Prophecy Old Testament (delivered) New Testament (fulfilled)
Born of a virgin Isaiah 7:14 Matthew 1:22-23
Born in Bethlehem Micah 5:2 Luke 2:4-6
Called out of Egypt Hosea 11:1 Matthew 2:14-15
Taught in parables Psalms 78:1-2 Matthew 13:34-35
Healed the sick Isaiah 29:18-19, 35:4-6, 61:1 Matthew 11:2-6
Entered Jerusalem on a donkey Zechariah 9:9 John 12:12-15
Flogged and abused Isaiah 50:5-6 Mark 14:53-15:20
Hands and feet pierced Psalms 22:16 Mark 15: 20-26
Clothes divided Psalms 22:18 Matthew 27:35
Killed and buried Isaiah 53:8-9 Mark 15:33-47
Rose on the third day Hosea 6:2 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

 RECENTLY FULFILLED (or ongoing)

  • Egyptian will turn against Egyptian (Isaiah 19:2) (“Arab Spring”)
  • Damascus will be in ruins (Isaiah 17:1)
  • Gaza will writhe in agony (Zecharia 9:5)
  • False teachers and prophets will lead people astray (2 Peter 2:1-2)
  • Earthquakes, famines, plague and pestilences will intensify (Luke 21:11)
  • Travel and knowledge will increase greatly (Daniel 12:4)
  • People will prefer fantasy to reality, myth to Christian truths (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
  • There will be wars and rumours of wars (Matthew 24:6)
  • The Gospel will be preached to all nations – (Matthew 24:14) (How will we know?)
  • Things will be as they were in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:36-37)
  • People will be proud, unforgiving, lovers of self, lovers of money and pleasure (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
  • In any communication on end time prophecies the message, and the messenger, will be mocked and ridiculed (2 Peter 3:3-4)
  • Jerusalem will be perceived as a problem by the whole world (Zecharia 12:2-3).
  • Christians will be persecuted and martyred (Matthew 24:9)
  • Many will turn away from the Christian faith (Matthew 24:10)

SPECIFIC TO ISRAEL

  • Because of disobedience, people of Israel were dispersed (Deut 28:64-66)
  • The Jews will return to their biblical homeland (fulfilled in 1948), for example:
  1. God will bring back His exiled people (Amos 9:14-15) (Jer 16:14-15)
  2. The scattered flock will be gathered in (Ezek 34:13, Jer 31:10)
  3. A nation born in a day (labour pains to follow!) (Isaiah 66:7-8)
  4. Forces of hugely superior strength will be defeated (Lev 26:3,7-8)
  5. The formerly desolate land will become fertile and fruitful (Zech 7:14)
  6. These things happen for the sake of God’s Holy Name (Ezek 36:19-24)

Each of the prophecies referred to above could be the basis for a long discourse, and there are many more that could be added.

REVITALISED EVANGELISM

I believe that the next stage of evangelising will involve demonstrating to a sceptical world that fulfilled prophecy confirms the authenticity of the Bible and underlines God’s infallibility and love. He has given us all the information we need!

Jesus gave us pointers for the circumstances that will prevail when He returns, but makes it clear that the specific time of his coming cannot be known. We are well along the time-line of prophetic events. Those signs that await fulfillment could happen very quickly. Reading the Bible, watching what is happening, particularly in Israel and Jerusalem, and seeking to understand the spiritual significance of unusual signs and symbols in the world around us, are all key elements in our being ready for the return of Jesus.

Now is the time for a new approach, a Great Rethink:

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” (Isaiah 6:8)

I am convinced that there is at least one expert marketing strategist out there who is envisioned by the Word of God, empowered by the Holy Spirit and who is ready to step into his or her anointing.

Dual triple action in ‘God-incidences’ – the scriptural validation

As this photo of my old 1995 NIV Insight Bible shows, I’ve been intrigued by and been able to understand the additional clarity provided to 1 John 5 vv7-8 many centuries after the Canon of scripture was agreed:

Here’s New King James Version with this clear indication of the dual nature of a heavenly and earthly trinity acting in conjunction to bear witness and ‘operational oversight’ – as I’ll explain below:

The Certainty of God’s Witness 

6 This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness [b]in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one. [NKJV]

BibleGateway Footnote: 1 John 5:7 NU, M omit the words from in heaven (v. 7) through on earth (v. 8). Only 4 or 5 very late mss. contain these words in Greek.

We’ve noticed an increasing number of three-fold ‘God-incidental’ confirmations of whatever I’m blogging and last week three things happened as told in Again 3 contacts in 3 minutes confirm latest prophecies on Trump and Biden. As for dual confirmation or activity, Veronika West noted that’s how the Lord gave an early and then a later word on ‘Humpty Trumpty and Humpty Dumpty’.

More has happened but in a directly personal way, as follows:

On Sunday morning Nina and I were on prayer ministry team and arrived early to pray for the service and leaders. As the team of 3 musicians were practising and I was praying I went to pray for the 3 technicians on the audio-visual equipment and recalled the 1 John 5:7-8 principle to bless their combined operation.  Then I was blessed with the insight that the 3 musicians represented the Holy Trinity in heaven, and the 3 technicians represented earthly activity to bring the worship into much wider manifestation – the connection between all six being Holy Spirit.

Tuesday morning we attended a presentation by the 215 years-old Pilgrims’ Friend Society who provide care homes for elderly Christians. Their modus operandi is, I grasped, bringing Kingdom principles into the closing  years of these dear folks’ lives. Afterwards, I spoke to a couple of the Society’s national leaders and mentioned in passing; it’s as though they are being prepared for being with the Lord and He will then show them the full tapestry of their lives that He’s been weaving.

LO AND BEHOLD confirmation came again as our sister Veronika posted about THREE and TAPESTRY yesterday (note timing, my birthday number 22):

Read HKP posting > A TAPESTRY OF TIME FROM HEAVEN’S PERSPECTIVE

And not forgetting Deuteronomy 19:15

‘….by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established.’

Word of the Lord for 2022 of a tectonic shift – Catch The Fire, Christopher Bird

After reading ‘Mayday!’ Veronika West brought on 27 April I was prompted to republish the  post below onto Telegram for new subscribers as a lead-in to posting Veronika’s later. In the evening I was astonished, therefore, to learn that the Promised Land is the new theme for Sunday services at CTTF!

At the global zoom meeting of 12th January on Catch The Fire’s Hub, wherein several leaders brought prophetic words for consideration, Farnborough church’s senior leader and co-leader of CTF’s Global Prophetic Priority Revd Christopher Bird gave this word, which he’s kindly allowed me to publish:

• I had a vision some months ago, in which two tectonic plates shifted, bringing about a chasm, a split in the earth, which was going to separate those willing to move forward in the “new thing” and those wanting to go back to how things used to be. Continue reading

Terrifying vision akin to Luke 16 account of Heaven and Hell – Veronika West

A week ago today His Kingdom Prophecy posted the following from Veronika, which fittingly emphasises the previous post from Neil Mackereth on The Great Divide:

HELL CAN SEE HEAVEN, BUT HEAVEN CANNOT SEE HELL

A Terrifying Dream

Hell could see Heaven, but Heaven could not see Hell!

I wanted to share something that I saw in a Dream I had concerning Hell, a few days ago.

Now I have never dreamt of Hell before, or had any such encounters, however as I say, I had a Dream a few days ago where I found myself standing in what seemed to be like an ‘in-between’ place. That’s really the best way I can describe where I was in the Dream.

Time to decide for/against God’s Great Divide – Neil Mackereth

A month ago today, 17th December, in A Great Falling Away; Time of Divine Separation Has Begun I re-posted Veronika West’s revisiting a prophecy of 2018 and noted that it speaks into what the Lord opened to me ten years earlier on the parable of the wheat and tares. In The End-game is in Now in Play I tell what happened upon opening my Bible to check that parable – I’d distinctly heard “This is ALL about to be fulfilled”.

It is particularly poignant, therefore, to note a similar phrase quoted by Neil Mackereth , whose evening courses on End-times at Winchester Vineyard began our friendship. He now writes, in which I embolden certain text: 

“Dear Richard, Things continue to develop at dazzling speed, as the world groans on its axis!

“The Lord has laid on my heart the urgency of the moment and our accountability as watch-keepers and evangelists; something that you are anointed for and brilliantly and conscientiously carrying forward. Herewith what He has been saying to me.” Continue reading

Re. Kim Clement Two Presidents Prophecy – Trump’s anointing blesses, Biden’s words curse Americans

For previous posts on Kim Clement which include this prophetic word, click here.

James 3 (NKJV)

Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of [c]iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of [d]nature; and it is set on fire by [e]hell.  For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 

But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the [f]similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.  (BibleGateway.com)

INTRODUCTION

The original version of Monday Newsmix 1 of The Gateway Pundits’ very brief extract from Donald Trump’s 12 minute patriotic message on Sunday, had to be re-arranged after seeing how strongly Holy Spirit sparked my wife as she watched it.  So I moved the introductory paragraph on ‘sifting’ to follow TGP headline, and inserted a note on what happened to Nina.

Subsequently, I came across the full video on a couple of friends’ timelines and can now quote all Trump’s references to Jesus, not only His birth but also great influence upon America:

POTUS #45 BROADCAST –  A BLESSING

19th December (Auto-generated transcript, punctuation and underscore by RB)

[5:15mins]  “More than 2,000 years ago an angel (of) the Lord appeared and really it’s, it’s been a long and beautiful history – but an angel of the Lord appeared to humble shepherds and proclaimed the reason for our Christmas joy: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a savior, which is Christ the Lord”.

Now when I was listening to Robert (pastor) perhaps unknowingly, you use the word ‘Savior’ a lot and our country needs a savior right now and our country has a savior – and that’s NOT me – that’s somebody MUCH higher up than me, MUCH higher – we just do what we have to do – but the life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ forever changed the world.

It’s impossible to think of the life of our own country without the influence of His example and of His teachings: our miraculous founding, overcoming Civil War, abolishing slavery, defeating communism and fascism, reaching boundless heights of science and discovery.

So many incredible things, even right outside the magnificent skyscrapers and the whole development that this beautiful church is a part of – so different, so beautiful… and the United States ultimately becoming a truly great nation and we’re going to keep it that way, we’re going to keep it that way, we’re not going to let it go, we’re not going to let it go!

But none of this could have ever happened without Jesus Christ and his followers and his church – none of it!  And we have to remember that Jesus Christ is the ultimate source of our strength and of our hope and here and everywhere and for all time – Jesus Christ!

And we want to just thank everybody who believes, because we’re believing in our country, we’re believing in the world, we’re believing in life this Christmas. Let us pray for….”

Now, having a testimony of the anointing in those words from Donald Trump, compare with this:

‘POTUS’ #46 BRIEFING & BROADCAST –  A CURSING

I’m grateful to Chris G Bennett’s American wife Linda for posting this on her Fbk:

This is copied from the opening paragraphs of Press Briefing by White House Covid-19 Response Team and Public Health Officials (17th December)

Here’s how Biden delivered it, thereby pronouncing a curse upon Americans:

17th December 2021 (Auto-generated transcript, punctuation and emboldening RB)

“I have a direct message in American people and tomorrow the team is going to be on
television and talking in more detail about what i’m going to be speaking about today, but I want to send a direct message to the American people:

Due to the steps we’ve taken omicron has not yet spread as fast as it would have otherwise done, and that’s happening in Europe, but it’s here now and it’s spreading and it’s going to increase.

For (the) unvaccinated we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death –  unvaccinated – for themselves, their families and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm.

But there’s good news if you’re vaccinated, you have your booster shot you’re protected from severe illness and death – period!…”

Read, weigh and pray for Jesus’ blood covering to protect our American cousins…

Monday Newsmix 1 – Donald Trump again points people to Jesus. Hence ongoing hatred, but the sifting has begun!

“Our Country Needs a Savior Right Now and Our Country Has a Savior. And It’s Not Me. It’s Someone Much Higher” – President Trump in Dallas on Christmas Week (VIDEO)

Be sure to listen to the above link’s 1-minute video BUT BE CAREFUL – you may get  BLASTED!

I’d just published this and NIna came to speak to me and I then played her the video – she immediately got impacted by Holy Spirit as Trump spoke and quoted scripture!

The writing on the wall and today’s events — John Barber

The writing on the wall and today’s events mene, mene, tekel, upharsin (ˈmiˈni miˈni tɛkəl juˈfɑrsɪn ) was the writing on the wall that followed Belshazzar’s Feast, interpreted by Daniel, the Hebrew prophet, to mean that God had weighed Belshazzar and his kingdom, had found them wanting, and would swiftly destroy them and did as […continue at… ] The writing on the wall and today’s events — JRB Publications

A ‘GOD-INCIDENCE’

Upon booting up my pc before a walk I noticed two things that are too ‘coincidental’…

1st > A Fbk notification from John after publishing his above post soon after dawn today and he assures me he was unaware of this news…

2nd > My browser’s tabs show this morning’s Koenig’s World Watch Daily as below of Newt Gingrich’s MUST READ report on the immense importance of investigating the Biden family’s deeply dubious, possibly criminal activities:

Sodom’s Judges — Mark Ivey

In examining Jewish rabbinical literature, the Talmud and Midrash contain oral traditions, exegesis of Torah texts and homiletic stories that give us insight into Jewish and biblical history. They are reliable sources to gain additional understanding and knowledge of Jewish thought and truth. One of the teachings refers to the Judges of Sodom, (Genesis 19) […] Sodom’s Judges — Markivey.org

I’m grateful to Tim Shey for copying the above-linked excellent posting into his comment “Speaking of the Supreme Court, here is something about the judges of Sodom that brought down the wrath of God on Sodom & Gomorrah:” 

It brings full Biblical context to the word Wanda Alger brought for the SCOTUS major case.  Moreover, it suitably augments my postings about these times mimicking the Days of Noah and of Lot – and remember the Obama, Biden, Clinton direct action in bringing Jesus’ prophecy about this extremely ungodly state of national affairs, BUT which precedes the Lord’s Return – SO WATCH OUT!

Note and meditate upon Luke 17 (NKJV):

22 Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.23 And they will say to you,[h]‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them.24 For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed…”

I understand that, according to rabbinical tradition, in Noah’s time same-sex unions were recognised and legitimised – hence our Holy Creator’s deep disgust and decision to eradicate such disobedience to His holy ordinance (Gen 2:24), as cited by Jesus.

Judgement upon SCOTUS Justices — Wanda Alger

(In the case of Dobbs vs Jackson Williams Health…) ‘Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression, to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of My people of their right… For all this His anger has not turned away, and His hand is stretched…’

While in prayer for this landmark case, I felt the extreme weight of the Lord’s heart and a fierce resolve in His Spirit. I knew this moment was a mark in time – but one that had already come at great cost. I knew it was His hand that was about to settle this decision…

I heard the Lord’s determination that the judgement in this court is not a decision for the unborn, for that decision has already been rendered in the courts of heaven. The people have cried out and repentance has been heard. God’s Word has been declared and the verdict has been rendered. The shedding of innocent blood will no longer be allowed to stain the ground of this nation.

What is being determined in this case is the fate of these Justices who now stand before the Righteous Judge of all men….

Today’s Thought tells how to prepare for the Day of the Lord

Again how apt, as I only rarely check this BibleGateway for:

10th Anniversary of Richard’s Watch

Praise and thank The Lord The Almighty for His continual goodness, gracious mercy and favour

Ten years ago today I ventured into the public realm of blogging by launching Richard’s Watch as a way of informing people about how current events are foretold in Bible prophecy. Soon it would also cover contemporary prophetic words and visions

I’d already been updating personal friends about End-times by email since February 2009 as a result of having ‘heard’ upon opening my Bible, “This is ALL about to be fulfilled!”. (Details are in my very first email The End-game Is In Play.)

My decision to start writing was confirmed by a visiting prophet. However, around the time of dreaming about the Kingdom being set up and learning it relates to a prophetic word Bill Johnson brought on a change in the Church in the UK, as recounted here, I was getting increasing nudges to start a  blog.

Therefore, to celebrate this 10th anniversary I thank you personally for visiting and wish to welcome you, especially if you’re a regular reader, as in my very first post below: Continue reading
