Britain at the Brink: A Prophetic Warning to a Sleeping Church – Revd Christopher Wickland

BRITAIN AT THE BRINK: A PROPHETIC WARNING TO A SLEEPING CHURCH

The pressure in our nation is rising like a boiling pot, ready to overflow. Britain stands at the brink — morally, spiritually, and socially — yet many within the Church seem unaware of how perilously close we are to collapse. History is repeating ppp.
Meanwhile, the world around us unravels. Lies are sold as truth, and truth is dismissed as hate. The media reframes evil with politically correct language, while the Church remains silent. In this vacuum, dark ideologies have taken root — ideologies that exalt humanism and deny divine order. Politicians and institutions uphold these systems even at the expense of human life, and the Church’s absence from the public square has allowed terrible evils to advance unchecked.

God is no longer in our politics, our classrooms, or our law courts. Justice has become a game of imbalance — the innocent punished while the guilty are defended. The moral fabric of our society is tearing apart, and the signs are all around us. Violence erupts on our streets, lives are lost senselessly, and yet we are told to look away, to keep calm, to believe the narrative.

The problem is not merely social decay — it is spiritual abandonment. Christianity is no longer enshrined in our laws, no longer taught in our schools, and scarcely lived in our homes. We have traded truth for tolerance, holiness for comfort, and discipleship for slogans about “love” that deny accountability and repentance.

But all is not lost. God still has plans for this nation — plans to prosper, not to harm. Yet those plans hinge on repentance. Britain must return to the true and living God. If we do not, we will find ourselves ruled by false gods and foreign ideologies that know nothing of mercy or compassion.

It is time for the Church to awaken and take her rightful place once more — in education, in politics, in law, in the home, and above all, in the place of prayer. The Christian faith once built this nation and made it great; it is the only hope that can restore her again.

This is not merely a matter of philosophy or theology. It is a matter of numbers — of souls. The Gospel must again permeate every sphere of British life. There is no other answer, no other ideology, and no other saviour that can heal this land.

Our only hope is Jesus Christ.
Our only foundation is His Word.
And our only path forward is repentance and return.

The BIG APPLE…the silver arrow and a small window of Time! – Veronika West

Posted on Veronika’s Ignite Ireland ministry Facebook and added emphases mine:
”THE BIG APPLE…THE SILVER ARROW AND A SMALL WINDOW OF TIME…!!

…Friends,…I wanted to submit for Urgent Prayer…two shorts dreams I had early hours of this morning,…5/11/2025

…these were two strange dream encounters,.. that I believe Speak to the Hour prophetically,…two encounters that need to be weighed and Warred over…

….So In the first Dream encounter,…

I was taken into what felt like a strange but all too familiar place,…a realm and dimension of the Spirit,…that my Spirit seemed to know,…and recognise..

…it felt like I was standing in the midst of the Garden of Eden…the atmosphere was weighty with powerful Prophetic revelation and symbolism,….

…Now as I was standing in this place,…suddenly I found myself looking at a large Apple (just for clarity sake…nowhere in the Bible does it mention that Eve ate an apple it simply says,.. ”She ate of the Fruit”… )

…As I was looking at the large Apple which was hanging low upon the branch of the tree,…

…I saw that the fruit looked ripe for harvest,…the Apple was very appealing and even enticing,… but in-spite of the outward appearance of the fruit,…

…I knew by the Spirit that the inside of the Apple was infested with worms….

…The fruit looked appetising….but was not good to eat…

…But then….suddenly,……I heard these words,…”THE BIG APPLE!”

…And instantly,…I knew prophetically, that I was being shown “New York”….(The Big Apple!)…

…And As I heard those words,…the dream shifted,…

…and I found myself standing in a very large Orchard,…where there many fruit trees…all growing in neat rows…

…and I saw that a Time of Harvest had come upon the Orchard,…

…I saw that some of the fruit trees in the Orchard had already been Harvested,..

…but there there were some trees that still had ripening fruit upon the branches which were now ready to be picked… when suddenly,..

…I heard these Words,…Watch!…For Harvest Time in Early Fall has begun”…

…Now as I heard those words,..my eyes were drawn back to the Tree and to the ripened apple that was infested with worms,..

…when suddenly, I saw a hand reach up and it picked the beautiful looking fruit off the branch,..

…and I watched as the fruit was then placed in a large bag with many other ripe Apples that were in need of sorting and washing…

…now as I stayed watching in the dream,…I knew by revelation that the Orchard spoke to the United States of America and that the many Fruit Trees in the Orchard,…spoke to the individual States of the Nation,…

…I also knew by Revelation that the Large Apple,.. Spoke to New York; THE BIG APPLE,…but it also spoke to the Newly Elected Muslim Mayor,….

…Furthermore,…I knew that the Orchard of Fruit Trees spoke…both,..to all Nations but also to the Church….

…There were many layers of Revelation within the dream that began to unfold before me,…

…Then the Spirit of Revelation made known to me that a Time of Great Harvest and Divine Judgement had surely begun within the Orchard of Nations,…

…there was a Divine Inspection and a Weighing in the Balance,…not only of the United States of America,.. but also of all the Nations…

…a Divine Inspection was underway of the Roots/Foundations of Nations….and the Fruits of the Trees/Nations,…and also…of the Global Church and its Leaders that were now being weighed in the Balance,…

…A Time of Divine Separation, Distinction, and Purification had come upon the Orchard….Hearts were being unveiled,…and all that had been hidden and concealed…that which appeared good outwardly,.. but was rotten at the core was being fully revealed and exposed….

…The hour was late, and the final harvest of the season was now underway….

…But then suddenly the dream shifts,…

…Where I was taken into a second dream encounter,.. where I saw the same Apple that had been picked from the tree in the first dream…the Apple infested with worms…

..Was Now,…resting upon the head of a man who was standing against a Tree…

…Now,.. As soon as my eyes saw the apple sitting on the man’s head…

…I heard these Words,…”The Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”,…

…and as I heard those words,……Suddenly, I saw an Archer step forward in the dream….…and In his Left hand was a bow….and I watched as he raised his Right hand and reached behind his head, drawing a sharpened silver arrow from a sheath that was strapped to his back….

…And I watched as he set the silver arrow against the bowstring and He drew the arrow back with immense strength and power…

…I could hear the sound of the string of the bow groaning under the tension,…the sound was sharp and powerful as the Silver arrow was pulled taut in the bow,…

…And in that moment  in the dream,…

…the atmosphere became extremely weighty and I could tangibly feel a sense of great anticipation,…

…and yet I could feel the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord rising in the dream,…

…I watched intently as the Strong Right Arm of the Archer began to move the bow and shift the silver arrow into perfect alignment with the target…which was the Apple sitting upon the man’s head…

…And suddenly I heard these words,…

”WATCH AND PRAY…FOR A DIVINE PREGNANT PAUSE,..A SMALL WINDOW OF TIME GIVEN FOR NATIONS TO RIGHTLY ALIGN WITH HEAVEN’S TIME…

…WATCH!…FOR THE SILVER ARROW OF MY JUDGEMENT AND JUSTICE SHALL BE RELEASED WITH POWER AND PRECISION TO EXPOSE THE HEART OF CORRUPTION AND TO DEAL A DEATH-BLOW TO THE ROOT OF DECEPTION THAT BROUGHT FORTH THE DEFILED FRUIT OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL”…

..And as I heard those words,..I cried out in the dream,…

”MERCY,…MERCY IN THE MIDST OF JUDGEMENT”…

…As I cried out for Mercy,..Mercy,…suddenly I saw the Silver Arrow being released from the Bow,.. and I watched as the Silver Arrow flew through the air with great power,.. accuracy and precision,…

..I watched as the arrow struck the fruit on top of the man’s head,…piercing it through,..

..And In the twinkle of an eye,. .the apple was shattered…fruit fragments scattering,…Nothing of the defiled fruit remained,…the Archers blow was final and absolute,…leaving only the mark of divine Judgment where decay had taken deep root….

…Again,…I knew by Revelation that the Divine Pregnant Pause and the Small Window of Time was a Marked Moment for the Remnant to Rise Up and to Cry out for Mercy in the midst of Judgement,…

…In that moment, as I watched the Silver Arrow Fly,…I knew that the Silver Arrow was in fact God’s Mercy before Final Rot…gave way to full Retribution…

…It was the last act of divine Restraint before Judgment would fall,.. a Holy intervention sent to expose the decay and the rot in the root and the fruit before total destruction could come….!!

…I knew that the Silver arrow spoke to the Redemptive Word of the Lord…sharp, precise, and filled with Kingdom Purpose and Destiny….God’s arrows are not instruments of random Destruction but they are weapons of Surgical Mercy released in the midst of Judgement and Great Harvest,…

…They are Arrows of Awakening Before the Rot of Corruption has time to destroy the Harvest,…He sends forth His Word to pierce and to separate,…to Divide and Conquer,..to Expose Truth from Deception….and Light from Darkness….

…In the Silver arrow which only struck the fruit sitting on the Head (Head – Speaks to Knowledge)…I submit prophetically means that the Arrow of God’s Truth is going forth in this hour to fully Reveal the Rot and to destroy the Counterfeit Covering so that the Nation/s can be spared…

…But if the person/Leader/Nation/State/Church clings to the very thing that the Silver Arrow of God is targeting…; Pride,…False Identity,…Human Knowledge and Deception,…then the Silver arrow becomes the Instrument of Judgment without Restraint..!!

…I submit prophetically that the Lord is speaking that His Rod/Arrow of Correction NOW…is Mercy before Final Rot takes over….; there is a Pregnant Pause and a small Window of Time that stands open over the Nations,…over the Church in which to Align with Heaven’s Time,…

…A Clarion Call for True Repentance…For a Time of Divine Awakening,…Exposure, Purification and Separation has surely begun.. the Hour is Late the Final Time of Judgement and Great Harvest is HERE…!!!

Blessings to you all.

Strong reader endorsement of prolific pen Peter Russell-Yarde

Inspiring books on holy-writ by prolific Peter Russell-Yarde

Further to my above-linked introduction, as an encouraging recommendation Peter emailed this interesting comment, which he kindly permits me to share :

“In checking the galley for my book The Tent of the Meeting, rabbi Aaron asked me to write, I can understand why he and a graduate in the US described it as awesome. It is very deep teaching and I am amazed that I wrote it. At 250k + words it is not a small book.

This is what Aaron sent me (May 2007) from China when he was a missionary there:

“Decided to be slightly humorous in my comments, all the following comments are absolutely true. “Jesus very good ruler/king/warlord, cares for you and protects the old, (ill, weak, young, orphans, widows), Have faith in Him and be of respect for ever”. Is part of your work translated into Chinese and translated back again and then passed through a prayer group. Everything you write is absolutely true and a command of God, is the general concensus (sic) of opinion.

Just out of curiosity what it feel like have at least 400000 believing every word you say?

Currently have a class of 30 elders learning fluent English so they can read your words themselves. Would be very helpful if you did a short piece, (300000 words) on faith, worship and what it means to follow Jesus and just to make it interesting, you have to write it for a 12 year old. This means no big words

The 30 elders I am teaching English to have absolute faith in three things,

  1. God, Holy Spirit, Jesus
  2. Peter Russell-Yarde
  3. The Bible is the word of God

Asked them to write the 3 things that were important to them and thats the order they came in. Sorry Peter not going to worship you :))))))

Just spent 2 weeks convincing the 30 that you may be a prophet but God has not chosen to tell anybody yet which is unusual if you are a full blown prophet.

Then I had to explain about Temple Scribes, prophets and messengers and its not proper to worship people as God will be miffed (understating the case here ). Its quite frightening to see absolute faith in so many people and seeing things happen because they were prayed for is a bit awesome as well.

Only spent 2 days explaining we had to pray for you as well, their reply was “why we have to pray with Peter he talks to God?”

Hmmmmmmmm think I covered that pretty effectively but used a lot of “The Wrath Of God”, in my explanations of their views on that one. Got them worried for quite a long time until they pointed out that God has not told them different. If you came to China You would be worshipped as a Prophet or a Saint. You are an inspiration to a lot of people Peter,

Take care God Bless Aaron”

The rise of the Fourth Reich in UK – Revd Chris Wickland (Richard’s Watch goes full circle: 20)

PROLOGUE

WHEELS-within-wheels continue with Revd Christopher’s video message showing events really are happening as outlined 16 years ago in my very first email/blog The Endgame IS Now In Play of 29 February 2009. Therein I write,

‘However, (forbidding prayer for patients in hospital) is just one instance of the growing persecution of believers, principally through a policy supposedly promoting toleration but that’s now a tyrannical tool of intolerance – Equality & Diversity. There are other powers of suppression. Even the previous director of MI5 warns about UK sleep-walking into a police stateRampant lawlessness now exists not only in society but also within legal authorities – laws not approved by Parliament – ‘snoop and snitch’ culture – correction punished and evil behaviour rewarded – ID cards and routine interception of email and phones – etc etc. Clearly, Banking isn’t the only thoroughly corrupt UK institution.’

Several posts herein plus more on my personal Facebook and blog’s Telegram feature on police activity and arrests turning the UK into a fascist farce, and ridiculed across the ‘pond’ at presidential level. AND PM Starmer has digital identity cards in the pipeline!

SO we’re getting Apocalyptic, as in Revelation 13’s Mark of the Beast as I warned about from a personal insight “maSks only one letter away from maRk” (2024 summary).

So, it’s most encouraging that some church leaders have started speaking out….

Please take time to watch this half-hour sermon and I’m grateful to Chris Wickland for kindly providing this summary of the heart of this most serious issue (emphases RB):

THE RISE OF THE FOURTH REICH – Chris Wickland

What I want to talk about today is what I call the rise of the Fourth Reich.

In Nazi Germany, there was the Third Reich. For those who don’t know, “Reich” means kingdom or empire. According to Hitler:

  • The First Reich was the Roman Empire.
  • The Second Reich was Germany in its heyday.
  • The Third Reich was Hitler’s attempt to bring Germany to global prominence, which led to terrible atrocities under the guise of progress and nationalism.

The other night, Tracy and I watched the Bonhoeffer moviePastor, Spy, Assassin.

Watching it gave me chills because I saw parallels in Britain today. Initially, I thought the message was too strong, too much to share. But after recent events, it’s clear this is a time to speak, to challenge what’s happening.

In Bonhoeffer’s day, pastors were arrested for speaking the truth — 800 of them. How many pastors in Britain today would dare to speak the truth? Few, because reputation matters more than the cause of Christ.

A quote from the Daily Telegraph highlights current issues (RB: DT search results):

“The news that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are to be banned from attending Aston Villa’s Europa League match in Birmingham is perhaps the highest-profile example yet of two-tiered policing. This case lays bare an ugly truth about British policing in 2025. The police have chosen to afford different rights to different groups. Israelis—or Jews—have again been relegated to second-class status. Imagine if it involved mainly Muslim supporters—would the outcome have been the same?”

This is happening in our nation. Subtle, clever propaganda is at work. We’re told actions are “for their safety” — a tactic reminiscent of totalitarian control.

Before diving further, let’s ground ourselves in Scripture. Ephesians 5:11 says:

“Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead expose them.”

Every Christian has a responsibility to speak, to act, to stand. To not speak is to speak. To not act is to act. There is no neutrality. You are either for righteousness or for darkness!

The Church is called to be children of the light, shining in this dark hour. Alarmingly, many churches today are doing their best to do nothing.

The Church’s prophetic role is to hold those in power accountable. This is what Bonhoeffer emphasized. If the Church needs to raise her voice, it is NOW!

I witnessed people at a protest in Southampton, hugging me, crying, grateful to see Christians with the courage to stand for truth and defend the nation. Grown adults were moved by someone simply wearing a clerical collar.

Consider the treatment of Jewish people:

  • banned under the guise of “safety,”
  • denied access to events, while governments and institutions remain silent.
  • Last year, London’s largest Christmas market was told to rename itself a “Winter Market” to avoid offending anyone.
  • This is cultural erasure.

It’s also a spiritual war. Cultural Marxism, political correctness, woke ideology—they infiltrate churches and society alike.

Compassion has become a cult, replacing justice and righteousness.

Christians must resist being duped by misleading agendas like Black Lives Matter or pro-Palestinian narratives that, at their core, aim to delegitimize Jews.

Zechariah 12:3 reminds us of the End-times significance of hatred against Jews:

“…all who lift it [Jerusalem] will be severely injured, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.”

We see a subtle global hatred for Jews, often hidden behind terms like “anti-Zionist.” Yet Zionism simply affirms Jews’ right to their homeland. To oppose that is to oppose them.

The Church must not stay silent.

Many denominations today, including state churches and evangelicals, have taken pro-Palestinian stances. Some even forbid praying for Israel.

Those who remain quiet or complicit are aiding a cultural agenda reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

Matthew 5:13-16 teaches:

“You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden… Let your light shine before men…”

Churches have lost their saltiness. Many fear offending or being labeled extremist, prioritizing reputation over obedience. Yet Jesus called us to take up our cross daily, to live sacrificially, and to let our light shine.

History shows that Hitler promised the Church safety if it stayed out of politics. Today, Christians are told the same. But Scripture calls us to influence the world for God’s Kingdom — to be yeast in the dough, salt in the wounds, light in the darkness.

Who do we serve? The Jewishness of Jesus is suppressed in our churches. He is not a “nice white hippie”; He is the Jewish Messiah, and He will reign from Israel. Hatred of Israel or Jews is incompatible with serving Christ.

Acts 5:29:

“We must obey God rather than man.”

Romans 13 teaches submission to authority — but only when it aligns with God’s will. When governments contradict Scripture, Christians must stand for God, not man. [RB note verse 4 – governments are to act against – NOT promote and practice – evil.]

Christianity today faces persecution—sometimes subtle, sometimes overt. Those who speak truth are labeled fascists, Nazis, or racist. Yet those truly operating in that spirit are often anti-Semitic, woke, or culturally Marxist—mirroring the Church of the Third Reich.

Faith without action is dead. Silence in the face of evil is complicity. Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned:

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless.”

This is the defining hour: light or darkness, truth or compromise. The Church must stand, proclaim righteousness, and resist the rise of the Fourth Reich in our time.

Amen.

Heretical Church of England expelled from global Anglicans

REPRISE:

In 2017 Revd William Smith and I asked Rebels? In Church? Just Who’s Rebelling? and my recent End-Times Briefing 23 was the latest on apostasy within the Church of England.

Now at last, this weekend saw GAFCON’s announcement severing communion with heretical Canterbury: a cutting off, separation and coming out of false teaching.

‘The Gafcon movement of orthodox Anglicans is forging its own path away from the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury with the launch of the Global Anglican Communion.

It will be distinct from the worldwide Anglican Communion that is under the spiritual leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury and which recognises other Institutes of Communion like the Lambeth Conference, the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC), and the Primates’ Meeting of senior archbishops.

Unveiling its plans on Thursday, Gafcon said its intention was to “reorder” the Anglican Communion with only the Bible as its foundation. It will not recognise the Archbishop of Canterbury or other Institutes of Communion. 

“We cannot continue to have communion with those who advocate the revisionist agenda, which has abandoned the inerrant word of God as the final authority and overturned Resolution I.10, of the 1998 Lambeth Conference,” said the Most Rev Dr Laurent Mbanda, Chairman of the Gafcon Primates’ Council, and Primate of Rwanda. 

“Therefore, Gafcon has re-ordered the Anglican Communion by restoring its original structure as a fellowship of autonomous provinces bound together by the Formularies of the Reformation, as reflected at the first Lambeth Conference in 1867, and we are now the Global Anglican Communion...’  (continue emphases mine).

Their Communique begins (underscoring added, emboldening by Gafcon,):

‘To our dear Anglican brothers and sisters in Christ. Grace and peace to you in the name of our risen Lord Jesus Christ, on the Commemoration of the martyrdom of Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley.

The first Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) gathered in 2008 in Jerusalem to prayerfully respond to the abandonment of the Scriptures by some of the most senior leaders of the Anglican Communion, and to seek their repentance.

In the absence of such repentancewe have been prayerfully advancing towards a future for faithful Anglicans, where the Bible is restored to the heart of the Communion.

Today, that future has arrived.

Our Gafcon Primates gathered this hour to fulfil our mandate to reform the Anglican Communion, as expressed in the Jerusalem Statement of 2008….’ (continue reading)

PS. The king next??

End-times Briefing 24: Bible prophecy on Catholic apostasy

Briefing 23 cites 2Thessalonians 2.3 and 1Timothy 4.1 on the prophesied falling away from faith and foundational Christian tenets, and reports on heretical teaching within the Anglican communion and the new Archbishop of Canterbury’s very dubious stance.

Now, we consider the apostasy within the Roman Catholic church as reported by the former Papal Legate to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, whom the late Argentinian pope excommunicated for strongly denouncing his heresy.

This blog and The Gateway Pundit have frequently featured his excellent articles, as here and here respectively; and here’s the latter’s latest on the new American pope.

MUST READ… Archbishop Viganò: Vatican’s Globalist Alliance — Bergoglio and Prevost Push “Replacement Migration” to Erase Western Christian Civilization

The Archbishop opens his guest post as follows::

‘Jorge Bergoglio’s monomaniacal obsession with indiscriminate immigration and miscegenation finds a zealous proponent in Robert Prevost.

The handover did not represent any radical change, either doctrinally or morally, or politically or socially. The conciliar-synodal Church is and remains the “Ancilla Novi Ordinis”, the courtesan of the globalist elite.

We know well that the migratory phenomenon is not spontaneous: it is not caused by famine, war, or religious persecution.

Instead, it was desired and planned as a means of destabilizing Western nations, and illegal immigration is used as an instrument of social subversion. This is stated in a United Nations document of March 21, 2000, entitled “Replacement Migration.” (continue reading his stern rebukes)

In TGP’s coverage we find superb White House Press Secretary, a Christian, rebuking this pope:

Karoline Leavitt Fires Back After Pope Leo XIV’s Thinly Veiled Swipe at Trump on Immigration

Moreover, a couple of days later on 11th October the Archbishop summarises in his ‘X files’ (!) seven decades of what he ardently regards is heresy within the Roman Church:

He writes,

‘Sixty-three years ago, on this day, the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council was solemnly opened, the first “council” of the church that takes its name from it – the “conciliar church” in fact.

– It was a “council” because it sought to “reconcile” God and the world, Christ and Belial, truth and falsehood, good and evil.

– It was “ecumenical” because it sought to legitimize interreligious dialogue, which the Roman Catholic Church had solemnly condemned.

– It called itself “second” to make people believe that it was in continuity with the perennial Catholic Magisterium, so that it could adulterate it by usurping the Authority of the Church and of the Roman Pontiff.

– It laid the pseudo-doctrinal foundations of today’s “synodal church,” which aims to subvert the hierarchical constitution of the Church and the Papacy.

Those who consciously adhere to this “council” are responsible for the demolition of the Catholic Church and ratify the conciliar and synodal coup with their complicity.’

This is ‘by-the-by’ for those adhering to the New Testament concept of the priesthood of all believers under the oversight of Biblically qualified leadership.

Inspiring books on holy-writ by prolific Peter Russell-Yarde

I want to introduce an online friend whose postings and comments and mutual support has proved a great encouragement – and we tend to write in a similar technical manner.

Peter Russell-Yarde is an author with 34 books on Amazon all solidly based on scripture and all of which are professionally published.

His first book is an explanation of the message of Easter called A Fresh Look At Easter and the second is a commentary on Genesis called The Origin of Life.

End-times Briefing 23: Bible prophecy on Anglican apostasy

About 1975 years ago in writing to the early church in Thessalonica, Apostle Paul draws his letter to a close by referring to ‘the Day of the Lord’ and in a follow-up he goes into further detail about Jesus’ expected return.

The second chapter of his second letter refers to a particularly startling indicator of the wider Church’s failure in the faith and implicit lack of holiness and obedience to Jesus, as expanded upon in the Amplified Bible, wherein the third verse reads:

‘Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the [a]apostasy comes first [unless the predicted great [b]falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come], and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition),…’
[Note a,b – A possible rendering of the Greek ‘apostasia’ is “departure [of the church”].

Paul returns to that perplexing topic about 10-15 years later and prophesies in his first letter to Timothy (chapter 4)

‘But the [Holy] Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in latter times some will turn away from the faith, giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach, Through the hypocrisy and pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared (cauterized)…’

Other than citing holy writ and the essential principles of spiritual headship and thus accountability, especially vital in deliverance ministry, this blog has covered this matter from a newsworthy angle under #Apostasy tag. So the following items are offered for my readers’ consideration:

Revd Brett’s timeline > https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069715806030

Here is fellow watcher John Barber’s even-handed analysis of the ‘pros and cons’:

The CofE has a new archbishop

A few extracts:

‘Perhaps, one of the most significant things (upon reflection, and not surprisingly) coming out of this announcement, in terms of how different Christians, especially those in leadership positions, reacted, is that in the main those in the negative camp seemed to be in agreement with many of the views that I have long been posting on my Facebook page and blogs concerning some of the important, significant things happening in the UK and beyond, and those, in the main, in the positive camp taking an opposite view. It confirmed to me that not only is the nation divided but so is the church.’

‘Obviously, not being an Anglican and coming from a very Low Church camp, I am not going to agree with all that Father Calvin said, but I agree with much of it. While I agree that leadership in churches, especially when it comes to exercising authority over men, should be male, the only priesthood I recognize is that of all believers.

Not mentioned but something what really sealed it for me, in coming to a view, was reading a post by one of my detracting Facebook friends including a video clip of Sarah Mullally’s telling us back in the days of the Covid scamdemic that it was our Christian duty to take the jab (see here). Another powerful video highlighting the concerns of those who think a wrong choice was made with this appointment making several damming indictments, including her pro-choice stance on the matter of abortion and her supporting or allowing LBGTQ+ ideology to prevail, including the brainwashing of our children over transgenderism (see here).’

GOD-INCIDENCE

Whilst writing I’m called to join my wife watching the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem’s celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles with David Parsons speaking on the Lord’s calling all nations towards Jerusalem and thereby encouraging the Jews to look forward to their Messiah Jesus’s return. This was broadcast yesterday morning

The main scriptures David cites are Zechariah but I note his emphasis upon the ‘NOW’ of prophecies and that this was only hours before the most welcome announcement of a cease-fire in Gaza.

SO Isaiah 66’s reference to the ‘last days’ and Jerusalem are most apposite:

SELAH!

Trump: a gavel in the hand of a righteous judge… – Veronika West

After spending time on domestic matters I’m reminded of a word Veronika brought over the weekend as I believe it would be a suitable lead-in to what’s been on my mind about the ‘Equational of National Breakdown’ and yesterday’s military meeting in Quantico. So let’s check the word as published by HKP…

…THEN I SEE THE DECIDER > timing of my visit 17:22!!!  (Again, ‘Q’ and my birthday!)

TRUMP – A GAVEL IN THE HAND OF A RIGHTEOUS JUDGE

Ha! I woke to these Words, “Watch and Pray — for Trump is the Gavel of Justice in God’s Righteous Right Hand!”

In the early hours (Fri 26 Sep), I woke up to those Words, and immediately I was taken into an open Vision, wherein I saw the Right Hand of God reach down and lift up President Donald J. Trump!

As He raised the man, Trump was transformed into a Judge’s Gavel in the Hand of the Mighty Judge of Heaven.

Then the Vision shifted and I saw the Scales of Justice begin to sway violently, moving back and forth with great power as I saw a fierce Battle was unfolding in the Courts of Heaven.

The movement of the Scales caused a great shaking to erupt in the earth realm. Nations began to tremble and shift as the Scales of Truth and Justice moved in the Courts.

As I continued to watch, I saw that The Books of The Nations were opened before the Judge, when suddenly I heard, “My Ecclesia must arise and legislate in The Courts of Heaven in the Authority of The Key of The House of David…

For what is bound in Heaven is bound on earth — and what is loosed in heaven will be loosed on earth!” (Matthew 18:18)

Then I heard The Spirit of The LORD say, “Watch! For I have weighed The Nations on the Scales, and found them wanting!

Watch what will take place in this Fall Season, for it is a time of Great Transition and Rapid Change, coming upon The Nations in the Valley of Decision!

Watch, as one is raised up and one is suddenly brought down!” says The LORD.

”Watch, as My Gavel strikes the block, not by the Power nor by the Wisdom of mere men, but by My Spirit of Truth and Justice — by My Righteous Decrees — through the mouths of My Righteous Remnant in this hour!

Watch, as I expose what is hidden and uncover what has been done in darkness!

Watch, as I shake, shake, shake those who thought they were “The Untouchables!”

Watch, as I shake, shake, shake the Halls of Power and bring Nations to their knees.

For I tell you, stiff-necked Nations and their leaders shall see the Gavel of My Justice come down!

Again I say, Watch and Pray! For this is the Hour of War unto Divine Restore; the hour for My Governing Ecclesia to Rise, Rule, and Reign in Righteousness and Truth!

Listen! For My Justice will thunder, and My Mercy will follow after it!”

Next, the Bible’s Author shows me ex-New Agers’ testimonies

The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in Whom we have our redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. [St Paul’s letter to the Colossians 1:13-14, Amplified Bible.]

To continue the next part of my testimony upon my 36th spiritual birthday:

As well as checking out Christians’ claims of hearing God direct and getting astounding personal evidence for that, I wanted to know lots more not only about Him, but also and especially to follow-up on the personally revelatory scriptures about false teachers.

In my great wariness of religious folk I’d assumed none would be able to comprehend my story because they’d be ignorant about those things. Doubtless, none would have been through my kind of bad, meditative ‘trips’ – or so I thought!

But direct help was again at hand from the Bible’s Author…Yet first, there’s one little-suspected aspect of His character that amazingly revealed a very personal thought and thus confirmed He knows all about me. Here’s what had happened many years earlier.: Continue reading

A Nation Without God – Neil Mackereth

A NATION WITHOUT GOD

“From this time many of His disciples turned back and no longer followed Him” (John 6:66 – significant chapter and verse number; co-incidence or God-incidence?)

A NATION DIVIDED

As a nation, we have turned our back on the Lord God Almighty and forsaken Him: the dire consequences of our actions are upon us.

A clear and distressing separation is taking place in our nation. The divides of the past: class distinctions, haves and have nots, north and south, etc., are fading into insignificance when compared with the growing chasm that exists between left-wing and right-wing opinions.

Jesus said: “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand” (Matthew 12:25). Our country has all the hallmarks of a deeply divided nation on the brink of civil war.

THE CHURCH DIVIDED

Many “Christians” are no longer following the Word of God and have aligned themselves with causes that they have neither researched nor understood.

They continue to espouse their belief in God, but have lost sight of Jesus.

Others believe the church has replaced Israel in God’s favour and the Jews are, therefore, no longer significant in God’s redemptive plan for mankind.

To my mind, the whole of scripture relates to the significance of the descendants of Abraham and his offspring through Isaac (if not, how can the 144,000 Jews sealed by God in Revelation 7, and seen standing with Jesus on Mt Zion in Revelation 14, be explained?).

Are we standing with Jesus as the world turns against Him and His brethren, God’s chosen people Israel? Or are we taking the much easier position of siding with the world? The latter option is pragmatic, comfortable, and may well, in the short term, shield people from hatred and abuse.

I tell you the truth: Satan is desperately endeavouring to thwart God’s plans for mankind, because he believes that if he succeeds, he will prove God wrong and save himself from eternal damnation in the lake of burning sulphur (Revelation 20:10). If we take the easy option for short term gain, we too will be on course for eternal damnation.

FAITH

We are now being tested on whether the life of Jesus in us is the dominating influence in our being, or whether self-interest takes pride of place. Are we loyal and fully committed to honouring Jesus in all that we do and say?

In 2 Corinthians 11:16-33 Paul gives a comprehensive description of the abuse, persecution, pain and suffering that may ensue, for those who fully commit to following Jesus. Life for devoted Christians is already appallingly difficult in many parts of the world, and it is going to get much harder here.

It is prophesied that a time of great tribulation is coming. How will we react when facing the possibility of unmitigated suffering, even unto death? Jesus says we should never be afraid, but rather we should rest in perfect confidence in Him. I find that a huge challenge; panic is often my first reaction to a crisis. I reason that God must be asleep in the boat and that He cannot have recognised that we are about to be engulfed by the storm (Matthew 8:24,25).

Nevertheless, I know that Jesus expects His followers to be the steadfast and reliable ones in any calamity. It is essential to keep our focus on Jesus in every circumstance, and to remember that it is our place in eternity that is at stake. Sudden unexpected disasters always reveal on what or on whom we rely. Now more than ever, it is essential that we train our minds so that when catastrophe strikes, we immediately turn to Jesus for help.

CONCLUSION

A time of great tribulation draws near – the signs of division in the church, in our nation and in the world are very evident. We are on the brink of a massive upheaval. Even so, we are to look beyond the imminent chaos and turmoil to the glorious return of our saviour Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords.

What is a truly amazing (supernatural) is that, in Bible prophecy, God has told us exactly what to expect. The events we are witnessing are no surprise to Him!

In what little time we have, it is imperative that we worship God, study the Word and seek to be blameless in His sight. Pray for wisdom and discernment, and to be a tower of strength and encouragement to others.

Jesus will return: Victory is assured: Hallelujah!

Blessings and Curses – Jerusalem Addendum

Eagle-eyed by John Mark Long: courtesy http://www.propheticartists.com

BLESSINGS & CURSES – ADDENDUM ON JERUSALEM

Continuing on from my dear friend Neil Mackereth’s Blessings and Curses, I offer further historical information that’s of a personal nature from before the Lord stunned me with that foretaste of what it will be like when He returns.

I received Neil’s first draft on 4th Sept and responded: “Just read hardcopy over lunch and laughed as it’s 2nd God-incidence today. A few days ago I drafted brief comments to Saturday Men’s Breakfast Bible group on Jerusalem’s significance but other matters meant I hadn’t sent it. So, yours is the ‘SEND’ confirmation.”

First, I suggest readers revisit Neil’s historical section ‘A British Perspective’ covering 1917 of his previous in order to gain the fuller sequence of events, as in my following remarks to SM’s W/App discussion and augmented herein:

GOD-INCIDENTAL BIBLE STUDY

“Guys, for info I offer two points re last SM on Hebrews 7 and which I drafted days ago but got a 2nd ‘God-incidence’ today from fellow writer on same topic; so “Go!”…

1st > Genesis 14:18 is first mention, albeit implicit, of Jerusalem circa 4,000 years ago and I was impressed with its increasing significance throughout the Bible, for not only Jews but also all nations: eg Zechariah 12 & 14 and Jesus’ return.

ALSO 40 years ago the Lord shook me, as a New Ager, with ‘coincidental’ exposure to its importance when flicking through this book I’d been given, at the time I was watching a tv documentary.

The following photo of the Al-Aqsa mosque and listing from Daniel and Revelation caught my attention AND simultaneously the documentary showed elite Iranian and Iraqi troops rehearsing the storming and liberation of the Holy City, even though it was during the Iran-Iraq war!!

2nd > cross-reference to Gen 14:18 ‘God Most High’ (Elyon).

My Bible notes Elyon is ‘derived from ‘alah’ meaning ‘to ascend’. Note it’s muslim name for God and that it connects into Jerusalem’s liberation from the Ottoman empire in 1917 by General Allenby or ‘Alla en nabi’ = prophet of God.

In The Invisible Hand a Turkish saying is recounted about that definition which explains why our troops captured the city without any violence, as below:”

NB: God-incidental relevance of Isaiah 31.5, 33.20 and 40:1-2 to prepared Anglican prayers for the morning and evening on the day of Jerusalem’s deliverance:

Selah!

Blessings and Curses re Britain and Israel – Neil Mackereth

Written early this month we hit a few glitches, yet Neil is timely in view of Keir Starmer’s unwise appeasement of barbarians in recognising a Palestinian state (covered to a quick extent with links on this blog’s Telegram, from this item.) Note Neil’s perspective is not only from scripture but also that of a retired brigadier; also that emphases are mine:

BLESSINGS  AND  CURSES

INTRODUCTION

Joel 3:1-3 “In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.”

The timing of this “trial” means it must be the same event, referred to as the “Sheep and Goats” judgement by Jesus, in Matthew 25:31-46.

Furthermore, it endorses the conclusion that when Jesus talks about “the least of these brothers and sisters of mine” He must mean His Jewish “brothers and sisters” (“brethren” in some translations).

This is a clear example of the differing outcomes for those who bless Israel and for those who curse Israel. As Genesis 12:1-3 states:

“The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

From Joel’s prophecy, we see that dividing up God’s land is, in effect, cursing Israel.

A BRITISH PERSPECTIVE – Are we a SHEEP or a GOAT Nation?

Before answering that question, I want to look at a series of events that occurred
towards the end of World War 1, and which I am certain reveal the consequences of
blessing Israel: the dates are significant, as is the heart motive in the decisions made.

In June 1917, General Allenby, a devout Bible believing Christian, was appointed
commander of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF – a British Army group which
included multi-national allied forces). The EEF had been repelled in attempts to take
Gaza (which was held by German and Ottoman Empire forces) in March and April 1917.

On or about Tuesday 30 October 1917, the cabinet of our predominantly Christian
Government agreed the proposal to support the establishment of a national home for
the Jewish people. [RB; was this decision significant in turning the tide militarily, as well as spiritually?]

On 2 November 1917, the British Foreign Secretary, Arthur Balfour, issued the “Balfour Declaration”; a letter declaring British Government support for the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine.

On 2 November the third battle of Gaza began.

On 7 November the victorious EEF took over the town of Gaza.

On 11 December 1917 General Allenby entered Jerusalem on foot and took over the city, without a shot being fired. In light of the successes and rapid advance of the EEF, the German and Ottoman forces had decided not to defend the City, but rather to withdraw into the Judean hills.

[RB: Gen Allenby entered on foot because he wouldn’t ride a horse over ground his Lord had walked upon. A few more details will appear in the Addendum.]

In September 1918, after a delay caused by the need to divert men from the EEF to
reinforce the Western Front during the German Spring Offensive, the EEF took Megiddo, then Damascus and Aleppo.

On 30 October 1918 the Ottoman Empire agreed a peace treaty with the Allies.
Obviously, a huge amount of detail is excluded. However, I am convinced that this series of events clearly illustrates that the blessing of Israel resulted in a reciprocal blessing.

At that time, we were definitely a Sheep Nation!

DIVIDING UP MY LAND

Tragically, Great Britain and the League of Nations reneged on their promises of support. In the early 1920s, some 72% of the land, originally earmarked as the intended homeland for the Jewish people, had been given to other interested parties.

Sadly, the British Government was heavily involved in dividing up the land and, after
World War 2, did everything it could, short of warfare, to prevent the establishment of
a Jewish Nation.

Nevertheless, miraculously, and against all the odds, Israel became (declared itself) a
Nation on 5 May 1948, albeit only in a fraction of the land area destined in Numbers 34,
which God gave, as an everlasting covenant, to His chosen people, Abraham and his descendants through Isaac. The nationhood status of Israel was immediately recognised by the USA.

CONCLUSION

So, Israel is a Nation and, since 1948 has survived, and continues to survive, wars and
appalling attacks. Obviously, the Israel economy is under considerable strain.

Nevertheless, its military successes and economic resilience are truly miraculous.

Meanwhile, Great Britain has lost an empire and been in a slow decline which, in recent
years, is gaining momentum. Our secular government now recognises Palestinian statehood, and in so doing is defying God.

We are now definitely a Goat Nation!

NEWS:

Palestinians have had several decades to prove they can establish a viable, flourishing, peaceful nation. SO logically, they have neither the will nor intention of doing so!

The Bible’s Author answers a new believer’s questions direct!

REPRISE of part of my testimonial Jesus Freed Me, republished on my birthday:

Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus,For I always pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him by having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), and [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when raising Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], far above all rule and authority and power dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come…. [Eph1:17-21, Amplified Bible. We decree that the blindness be removed from the eyes of all the peoples of this land so they may see Jesus Christ is Lord.]

IN CELEBRATING MY 36th SPIRITUAL BIRTHDAY I THANK GOD FOR MY EARTHLY AND ETERNAL LIVES

Lord, help me love everyone, even wrongdoers, with Your awesome, gracious undying love

Life-changing as my ‘rescue’ was in that dream-visitation on 14th September 1989, I did not want to rush off to church. The event’s effect and ramifications upon my philosophy of life needed careful consideration. For example, I needed to check out widespread claims of the Bible having been compiled and modified by Church councils in the 4th Century after Christ, as well as learn about its history from authoritative sources. [Prof F.F. Bruce’s The Books and The Parchments (1991) was very helpful, especially about the ‘Muratorian Fragment’. Drawn up in late 2nd Century in the church at Rome, it lists practically all the canonical New Testament literature.]

So not only did I need to assess those personal implications, but also as possibly a new believer in Jesus Christ I wanted to find well-informed believers who take Him seriously. I soon did so, but then needed to put their claims of hearing direct from God to the test. After all, they believe we have a relationship with Him and so we have but to ask… Continue reading

End-times’ ripe tares fully exposed for removal (Richard’s Watch goes full circle: 19)

LOL it was 17 years ago and now 17 hours ago in my catching up with item shared on my Facebook – wheels-within-wheels just keep on turning:

That ‘kick-start’ email (Endgame is now in play) mentioned above recounts to fellow author Bill Smith what had happened in 2008 :

“Last year, I encountered two conflicting claims about Jesus’ explanation of the parable on the end-time harvest of wheat and tares (Matt 3:36). So I went to check scripture but upon opening my Bible a deep excitement exploded within as I heard, “This is ALL about to be fulfilled” – WOW!! “

Murdering our fellow humans has been ongoing since Cain decided to kill his innocent brother Abel for honouring our holy heavenly Creator. Thus began slaughter on religious – not political – grounds!!  Note well: beforehand Cain had heard God ask two questions and instruct him to rule over sin – but he failed, like millions since and blatantly today:

“Why are you angry and why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door and its desire is for youbut you should rule over it!” (Gen 4:7 NKJV) 

SO, EVERYONE WHO HATES AND SCHEMES ABOUT AND ENDORSES MURDER, GIVES ACCESS RIGHTS TO SIN AND DEMONIC ENTITIES INTO THEIR SOUL TO CLOSE THEIR SPIRIT, THEREBY SERVING THE HATER OF HUMANITY, satan!

Without earnest repentance they’ve kick-started their own post-mortem burn-out!

JESUS’ PARABLE OF THE WHEAT & TARES

Jesus explains what it will be like after He’s sown spiritual seeds into people but satan itself sows its own evil crop to overgrow and poison Jesus’ harvest of souls. Tares, or darnel, look like ripening wheat but are poisonous.

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”  37 He answered and said to them: 

“He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked  one.39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,42and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.43Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

NB; removal of ALL OFFENSIVE THINGS AND “LAWLESS” PEOPLE TOO!

Notice also, Jesus’ frightening promise to deal with evil direct by taking lives!! – The lives of unrepentant reprobates who persist in rebellion, serving the hater of humanity and father of lies, the fallen angel Lucifer.

However, what is intended for now is more merciful.

The Trump administration’s full-steam-ahead investigations into ALL Americans who have expressed hatred by supporting the callous murder of Charlie Kirk for expressing his own Christian faith and opinion and encouraging regular open discussions, will be much more merciful than when the angels come to cull and burn them!

SO, such folk had better quickly get right with the Almighty Sovereign God and His Son Jesus the Messiah before it’s too late and their lives are shockingly taken en-masse.

Notable prophecy confirms Societal Equation’s solution (Martial Law)

RECAP:
My regular readers may have realised America is moving into the implementation of Devolution ‘theory’, of which this is 99th posting

America’s judicial rot validates prophecies of ‘Equation of National Breakdown’ posted 3 April 2025 revisited my first posting four years ago on 7.7.2021 about such a ‘societal equation’, but which is extended as below in view of further events:

“4 year’s attempted ‘soft coup’ + sedition + rigged elections + cyber-censorship + crooked law enforcement + unjust judges + anti-Trump trials + Covid-19 vax/masks + Jan 6th kangaroo court + unjust imprisonment + shredded records + rogue judiciary’s ‘coup’ against Executive powers! = civil war OR martial law!”

In Ephesians 5 exposure scripture-and-2020 ‘Societal Equation’ I conclude massive unrest in Los Angeles over arrests of criminals and illegal immigrants is civil war in all but name as it’s encouraged by California’s governor and LA’s mayor. Thus, President Trump had no option but to restore law and order by the equivalent of martial law. As Commander-in-Chief of US Military he called for the National Guard to assist Federal officers of ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement) and US Marines to be on standby.

Next, on 11th August President Trump began a clean-up of Washington DC crime also by the solution of that Equation; the equivalent of martial law. Apparently, plans are already in place for Chicago next.

PROPHETIC WORD

A week ago today Julie Green received the following prophetic word that Rev Marjorie at Sweet Manna Ministries in Phoenix helpfully transcribes as follows:

MARTIAL LAW IS COMING

My children, your enemies are picking up their pace and are intensifying their attacks against you and your nation. Their time is running short, so they are throwing everything in their arsenal as fast and as hard as they can. Spiritual warfare, physical warfare, biological warfare, financial warfare, fear warfare, psychological warfare.

They are modifying weather to cause more destruction and chaos. This type of warfare is something they must use to stop the pressure they are feeling. They are being backed into the corner with no way out. They do feel trapped, and when they do, they are more dangerous.

I’m not telling you this to spark any type of fear, but to be aware and don’t let your enemy take you by surprise or take you at all.

If you are in My Word and spending time with Me, that is how you are protected, strengthened, refreshed, rejuvenated, and renewed. A place where your enemies can’t move you. This is the time to stop being moved by what you hear and what you see, and My children, be strengthened by Me.

Attacks are coming but they will not hurt you under My protection. No foe can withstand My hand or My power. Your enemies will not survive these next attacks against you or your nations. They are coming with everything they have, but nothing they have is bigger than Me.

You will see these words I have been giving to My prophets, and the written words I have given to you. They are more real than anything you see. What you see is temporary. It will not last forever.

Great moves are being made against you, but more moves are being made for you. Remember, I am the Creator of this earth, and your enemies are nothing, their plans are nothing, their armies are nothing, the globalist governments are nothing, the reset is nothing. They are less than nothing.

You are at a time when I am cutting your enemies off, and removing them from their very positions they sold their souls for and gave up their freedoms.

Great falls are coming. Great military presence will be seen in a way this nation has never known. My children, you don’t see how so much had to radically change to set you free from this tyrannical regime. It must be done by force, and My hand to heal your land, says the Lord.

Martial Law, when you hear this, when you see this, do not panic and do not fear. Do not think this is a conspiracy or this could never happen. You are living in an unprecedented time, and unprecedented will take place more and more. It’s something that’s never taken place to free your nation before, because your nation has never been under this type of attack, politically, spiritually, or financially before. Martial Law will take place, and your enemies fall on their face.

Washington has been under attack with fake politicians and judges, and DOJ’s. Everything you have seen has been suppressed by your enemy, and their movie is over. It is time to show you what has been really going on that no one has realized. The moves that have already taken place to remove your enemies from these positions they don’t belong in will be revealed. Some in Washington have already been removed and judged.

Merrick Garland, treason will be your end. A smoking gun is coming that no one can deny. Merrick Garland, you chose wrong. You chose not to repent. You chose to double down against Me and My nation. Your bank accounts where all your wealth and all the blood money came from, will be emptied and exposed.

Your ties to Obama, your enemies, and your laptops, your burner phones, all of it will be revealed. You set up My David, and your minions indicted him. You helped send the FBI and staged those documents in Mar-a-Lago. You helped the AGs with the indictments. Your hands are dirty, and judgment is coming for you.

Merrick, you and everyone who worked with you, every dirty rat, every person that did not belong, those who are still there giving you intel will also be removed, and treason will be their end for all who are against Me, says the Lord.

Christopher Wray, James Comey, Bill Barr, John Brennan, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, every AG, every FBI Director, every CIA Director, NSA Director, every politician, every former President, every Supreme Court Justice. So many arrests, so many treasonous traitors that will be judged harshly for their crimes against this nation, and against the citizens of this nation, and who are against Me.

Something big is coming to the United States. Hold on, your enemy’s last ditch effort to overtake you before their **_____ ?(video glitch) information linking your enemies, their accounts to every person is coming. 2020 is about to collapse, but with this collapse, the financial markets will crash, and a new one will be brought in. Pray for My David that he doesn’t throw the stone before My timing.

Something is about to take place that the social media giants will not recover from. YouTube and Google’s about to be hit with truth, and what has been going on behind closed doors is about to be opened wide.

Hold on. Giants are falling, and as they fall, there will be more that will shake and quake in this nation. The giants are being eradicated from their power in this hour. Stand up. Stay prayed up. Things are shaking more. Get up. Get out of normalcy and stand with Me in My Glory, says the Lord of Hosts.

**Third paragraph from bottom has a video glitch, and will be edited later.

Chance of eternal salvation being stolen, replaced by probable eternal damnation – Neil Mackereth

A week ago on Wednesday I was blessed to meet my dear friend Neil over lunch and he soon divulged a brief word he’d been given during that night. As we munched, he mulled over the ENORMITY of what the Lord had dropped into his mind. It was, “Not the way I might have worded it!”

Here’s what Neil was led to write:

SHEEP OR GOAT?

INTRODUCTION

This morning (6 Aug 25) at about 2 am, I woke up with a start. The Lord said to me:

“Satan is stealing the chance of eternal salvation and replacing it with the probability of eternal damnation.”

I felt called to write about the “Sheep and the Goats” judgement (Matthew 25:31-46 – The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations). Rather than slavishly going through the scripture line by line, I would ask that you read it carefully via the above link, before continuing with this article. Clearly, the sheep represent the righteous and the goats represent the unrighteous, and it is a prophetic parable.[RB: an End-times one too]

As we move on, I am sure you will see why I realised that what I was writing was a follow on to, and amplification of, my last article: The Bandwagon of Deception.

“THE LEAST OF THESE”

Jesus, speaking to the “sheep”, says: “Truly I tell you whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” To the goats He says: “Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these you did not do for me” (v:40;45).

The question is: who are: “the least of these brothers and sisters of mine“? In my mind’s eye, I see Jesus gesturing with His hand towards a group “one of the least of these ….”: In other words, Jesus is indicating that there is a third group present, who are “witnesses” to the event (i.e., other than the “sheep” and the “goats”).

I have read some erudite articles, and listened to some eloquent talks, on the sheep and goats’ scripture. The most frequent response to who “the least of these” could be is that they are “Christians”. Another popular view is that the term is referring to “anyone in need”. There is a problem with this latter understanding: If the “sheep” are not Christians, the text would seem to be indicating that performing “good works” is all that is required for entry to eternal life in the Kingdom of God, and that is definitely not what the Bible says.

If they are Christians, and the scripture “No-one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6) makes me think they must be, then I am convinced that when the King (Jesus the Jew) says, “the least of these brothers and sisters of mine” He must be talking about His Jewish “brothers and sisters” (“brethren” in some translations), i.e., all Jewish people.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS (BRETHREN)

There are several scriptures where Jews, including unbelievers, are referred to as brothers and sisters, or brethren. In Acts 2:29 Peter, in his sermon on the Day of Pentecost, calls the assembled crowd brethren (“Fellow Israelites” in some translations). Similarly, both Stephen (Acts 7:20) and Paul (Acts 13:38) call Jews, both believers and nonbelievers, “brothers” or “brethren”, depending on the Bible version.

WHEN?

The “sheep and goats” judgement takes place on the Earth, just before the start of the Millennium. Its purpose is to determine who will enter the Millennium Kingdom, i.e., to ensure that the righteous, rather than the cruel and wicked, will populate the world. It is not to be confused with the White Throne judgement, which takes place at the end of the millennium (Revelation 20:12-15).

RELEVANCE

We are in a time of uproar: multitudes are clamouring for the destruction of Israel. The truth is, God has told us that this would happen. We dangerously underestimate our God, if we believe He has been caught unawares by the world-wide outpouring of aggressive and vitriolic antisemitism.

God is omniscient and has always known that this ploy of Satan’s would have to be addressed. The prophetic scriptures give us a hint of God’s foreknowledge. I believe that this prophetic parable hinges on how people relate to, and behave towards, the Jews.

CONCLUSION

While I recognise that there are good arguments to support the case for the “witnesses” being Christians, I think it is unsafe to ignore the likelihood that they are, in fact, Jewish.

As mentioned above, we are in a time of extreme antisemitism which, as explained in The Bandwagon of Deception, is so deeply entrenched in the church that many “Christians” believe the church has replaced Israel in God’s favour, which is a diabolical lie.

Whether we like it or not, the Jews are God’s chosen people – the Bible, from beginning to end, makes that abundantly clear. Those shouting against Israel are showing a wilful determination to trample God’s chosen people underfoot.

I beg you, don’t believe the lie and let Satan steal your opportunity for eternal salvation.

We are witnessing Biblical ‘strong delusions’ – Amir Tsafati

In my intro to Neil Mackereth’s latest The Bandwagon of Deception – Swimming Against the Tide in a Sea of Lies I referred to having been “mulling over 2Thess 2:1-12 on the ‘strong delusion’ God is sending the new Archbishop of Wales before their reckoning”.

Then this morning I came across this item on Amir Tsarfati’s Behold Israel Telegram, but first let’s check the prophetic part of that terribly severe scripture in the New King James Version (all emphases mine). Although not yet applicable in timing, even so the Holy Spirit revealed principle of hatred against Truth must surely apply:

Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.  For the  [d]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only [e]He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

‘A short message from Amir:

A very dark and demonic cloud is covering the earth right now. We are witnessing the fulfilment of the biblical term “strong delusions”:
•   Doctors now swear that a man can give birth.
•   Minors who can’t vote or buy certain drinks are somehow deemed mature enough to decide to change their sex.
•   Nations commit economic suicide in the name of “climate change” legislation.
•   People join the world’s most oppressive religion in the name of freedom.
•   Food is supplied to people who shelter and support terrorists and hide hostages.
•   The very providers of food and aid are accused of committing genocide.
•   A fake campaign of starvation circulates AI-generated images, photos from other countries, or pictures of genetically caused diseases — while the world’s media stays silent about the only adults truly being starved: the hostages held by these so-called starvation victims.
•   Humanitarian aid distributed for free is called a “death trap,” yet those who hijack the free aid trucks and resell the supplies at exorbitant prices are hailed as heroes.

And now, 600 days after the largest terror attack in the modern history of the Middle East, the perpetrators are rewarded by Western governments with recognition as a state — a move that emboldened the terror group to walk away from a deal to release at least ten living hostages immediately.’

By the way, David Metcalf writes on the poignant idiocy of Western ‘leaders’:

‘On the very day the Arab states call on Hamass to release the hostages lay down their arms and leave Gazza. Up pops Starmer and Carney joining Macron in recognising a Palestinian State. Resulting in Hamass walking out of ceasefire talks, their unwanted interference will result in more unnecessary dead on both sides Idiots !’

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

Am amused that Old Testament patriarch Abram was only a couple of years younger than me when the Lord instructed him with a MIGHTY promise for the whole wide world. As written in the 12th chapter of the Book of Beginnings:

“Get out of your country, from your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.
I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

Even when the Moabites instructed the diviner Balaam to curse the Israelites, the Lord spoke through him to bring a stunning contrary word, and which the modern state of Israel cited in its military operation ‘Roaring Lion’ against Iran (Numbers 24 NKJV)

“God brings him out of Egypt; He has strength like a wild ox; He shall consume the nations, his enemies; He shall break their bones and pierce them with his arrows.
‘He bows down, he lies down as a lion; And as a lion, who shall rouse him?’ “Blessed is he who blesses you, and cursed is he who curses you.”

Amplified: “Blessed [of God] is he who blesses you [who prays for and contributes to your welfare] and cursed [of God] is he who curses you [who in word, thought, or deed would bring harm upon you]”.

My fellow End-times author AS cited the above scriptures and writes me as follows;

“Starmer should be very careful about his responses to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, for the sake of all of us:

Joel 3:2, 12, 17, 21: I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.
“Let the nations be roused, let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations on every side.
“Then you will know that I, the Lord your God, dwell in Zion, my holy hill. Jerusalem will be holy; never again will foreigners invade her.
Shall I leave their innocent blood unavenged? No, I will not.”
Zacharia 12:3-4: “On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,” declares the Lord.

OUR GOVERNMENT NOT STANDING WITH ISRAEL BUT SIDING WITH THOSE WHO CURSE IT, HAS PUT THE UNITED KINGDOM IN THE SAME PLACE!

Not only failing to deal with anti-Semitic, pro-Palestine violence but also complying with the demands of those who endorse Hamas’ prime-evil barbarity, for Britain’s Prime Minister to recognise a state of Palestine in September unless Israel complies with a series of conditions based upon outrageous lies, puts our nation spiritually into a worse place than we’re in – but accords with the prophecy of the Lord overturning Britain.

YET, thank and praise You Lord for signs of Revival…

Adrian Blomfield writes,

‘Hamas leaders could be forced to leave Gaza after Middle-Eastern states united behind a new plan to end the 22-month-long war.

Qatar and Turkey, two of the group’s main patrons, have thrown their weight behind a French and Saudi peace initiative that sharply increases pressure on Hamas to disarm, surrender power and accept exile.

Senior Gulf officials said the rare display of regional unity could isolate the movement to the point where it has no option but to comply.

“We genuinely believe we have a shot at this,” one diplomat said. “Hamas is in a corner. They don’t have much choice.”

Israel’s long and bloody war in Gaza has left Hamas so enfeebled that Arab officials believe there is now a “golden opportunity” to deliver a final blow…’

The Bandwagon of Deception – Neil Mackereth

So much happening online delaying my blogging about our sovereign, prime minister and party being FOOLED (thus NOT a government) by prime-evil barbarians pretending to deserve rational political recognition, but upon catching up with dozens of emails I’m pleased to find this sent on Tuesday from my dear friend Neil (emphases mine).

As though by God-incidental confirmation, Neil’s thesis echoes not only my repenting on behalf of our ungodly UK leaders, but also my mulling over 2Thess 2:1-12 on the ‘strong delusion’ God is sending the new woke Archbishop of Wales before their reckoning, viz: 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Now over to Neil:

THE BANDWAGON OF DECEPTION

(SWIMMING AGAINST THE TIDE IN A SEA OF LIES)

INTRODUCTION

The aim of this article is to explain some aspects of how a great deception has become imbedded in the Church and Christian society. This overview is far from exhaustive: my hope is that readers will feel called to research further in the Bible and seek to understand God’s redemptive plan for Jews and Gentiles.

THE COUNCIL OF JERUSALEM

In about 50 AD, the apostles and elders held a meeting, later known as The Council of Jerusalem, to discuss whether the acceptance of Gentiles as believers should be dependent on their agreeing to observe Jewish practices and procedures (i.e. by converting to Judaism). Acts 15 describes the outcome: Gentile believers did not need to convert to Judaism.

The decision was largely based on Peter’s experience, when he went to the house of Cornelius the centurion (see Acts 10). Cornelius and his household were baptised in the Holy Spirit, after listening to Peter. They were neither circumcised nor observers of Jewish customs and practices.

The apostles and elders had “eyes to see and ears to hear” and understood that God was moving in a new way among the Gentiles. The Council of Jerusalem showed a generosity of spirit that was both inclusive to Gentile believers and obedient to the Will of God.

Their decision was Biblical and evidence-based.

COUNCIL OF NICAEA 325 AD

Moving swiftly forward, the outcome of the Council of Nicaea* was very different. The gathering of bishops (all Gentiles), ordered by Emperor Constantine, ignored the Jewish heritage of the Christian faith, and made no mention of Jesus being a Jew.

To be accepted as Christians, Jews were required to renounce their Jewish beliefs, not keep Shabbat, change their names to Christian names etc. The fact that the apostles had Jewish names and Jesus’ Hebrew name is Jeshua, was ignored.

After the Council, Constantine wrote: “It was declared to be particularly unworthy for, the holiest of all festivals (Easter), to follow the custom of the Jews, who had soiled their hands with the most fearful of crimes … We ought not, therefore, to have anything in common with the Jews …. but to separate ourselves from the detestable company of the Jews ….. At the same time it is our duty not to have anything in common with the murderers of our Lord.”

There is more in this vein; suffice it to say, the Council of Nicaea nurtured and developed the roots of antisemitism that were seeded over the previous 200 years. Unlike the Council of Jerusalem’s attitude towards Gentile believers, there was nothing inclusive or generous of spirit in the Council of Nicaea’s view of the Jews.

Their attitude was neither Biblical nor evidence-based.

PAUL THE APOSTLE

It seems likely that Paul, by God’s guidance, foresaw the possibility of the Church parting company with its Jewish roots. Paul could not have been clearer in his teaching that the gospel of God was “to the Jew first and then to the Gentile” (Romans 1:16). In Romans 9-11, he explains the relationship between God and His chosen people Israel, and that even though many rejected Yeshua, they remain “beloved for the sake of the fathers” (11:28), and will be saved (11:26). Paul also warned the Gentiles against arrogance towards the Jews (11:18).

God’s love for His chosen people Israel is confirmed in many other scriptures. Some examples: His everlasting covenant (Genesis 12:1-8); they are ‘the apple of His eye’ (Zechariah 2:8); His first-born (Matthew 4:22); special treasure (Deuteronomy 7:6}; My Glory (Isaiah 46:13); My Nation (Isaiah 51:4).

Paul’s passion and love for his people is also clear (e.g., Romans 9:3) and he never renounced his Jewish roots; rather the opposite, he calls himself a “Hebrew of Hebrews” (Acts 22:2, see also Philippians 3:5).

WHAT IFs

We have looked at some aspects of how antisemitism became established in much of the Church, and commented on God’s deep and enduring love for His people. I now want to summarise some facets of how antisemitism has influenced society. I do this by a number of “what if” questions, as a form of shorthand covering huge issues.

What if many of the Founding Fathers of the Church; the Heroes of the Faith; God’s Generals; and various convocations of bishops, were all wrong in their attitude towards the Jews? Who would dare to speak out against such protagonists?

What if Hitler had not felt that the Lutheran church supported his views?

What if the once recognised bastions of virtue, truth and justice like the UN; ICJ; BBC; and so on, are wrong in their attitude towards the Jews? Who would listen to anyone who rails against such established bulwarks of society?

What if proponents of Replacement Theology are bearing false witness?

What if much of the Church has been undermined by, and has succumbed to, ‘woke’ ideology?

What if the Bible is accurate when it says people will prefer lies to truth (2 Timothy 4:4, see also 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11) and that those who curse Israel will be cursed (Genesis 12:3).

What if the media are accepting and promulgating (broadcasting) Hamas reports without carrying out due diligence and verifying those reports?

I am sure you will be able to think of many more.

THE WHY AND THE HOW

Satan, the father of lies, knows what the Bible says: nevertheless, he believes he can thwart God’s End-time plan, and avoid his ultimate destiny: “the lake of burning sulphur” (Revelation 20:10).

He has already established a pattern of deception and scheming against the Jews.

Why?

Because the Book of Revelation says Jesus will return to Jerusalem to take His rightful place on the throne of David, as King of the Jews. Satan seeks to prevent that certainty. His attempts to destroy Jesus, to disperse the Jews, to undermine their national identity, to annihilate them (the holocaust), to prevent their return to Israel and/or to destroy or divide Jerusalem, have either failed or have not been fully realised.

Time is short and Satan is getting more desperate – he is whipping up a frenzy of worldwide antisemitism and hatred against Israel which, in fact, is fulfilling prophecy.

CONCLUSION

Much of the Church has bought into a lie, in respect of its relationship with Israel. It is time to expose this ancient deception. We, the Gentile Christians, need to humble ourselves and repent (2 Chronicles 7:14). God forgive us for forgetting how greatly blessed we Gentiles are to have been grafted into the Jewish tree. The roots of that tree were established and nurtured by Jesus and the Jewish apostles: we owe them an immeasurable debt of gratitude.

The maelstrom of lies, libels and curses against Israel is overwhelming, and it is truly astonishing that they are so widely accepted by so many who should know better.

I tell you the truth, prophecy is being fulfilled in our time, and it may not be long before Jesus returns – Hallelujah. And one thing is certain, each one of us is going to have to give an account before God for our words and actions (Romans 14:12).

What will you say?
