Psalm 91 Global Prophecy Signals – Tony Puccio in Arizona (GPS 105.1)

Tony Puccio comments as follows upon receiving my End-Times Briefing Library, auto-published on Friday 10th May when our long weekend began, including School For Prophecy’s ‘A Fresh Wind’ conference in Winchester Vineyard church:

‘Good morning Richard. In addition to my post, pray for your family, which you posted in your blog this morning, I felt it apropos to include the dream I had a few days ago as well (RB: linked below).

I begin this post with the following Scripture.

Psalm 91:4 (NKJV) 4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

Early on the morning of April 30th I had the following dream. In the dream I was shopping at a big box store, I am purposefully omitting the name because of the nature of the dream.

As I was shopping I started down as aisle and was blocked by a very large man from continuing to proceed down the aisle. I found it very frustrating that this man would not get out of the way and let me proceed down the aisle and continue shopping.

Then my eyes were opened and I saw that this was not a man but rather a very large winged angel. As the angel’s identify was revealed to me there was a very large explosion. It was so loud and powerful that the building shook.

As I looked around the angel’s wings I saw that there was total devastation and carnage everywhere yet I was protected. Hence the quote from Psalm 91.

With a blast that massive I should have been part of the carnage but was instead protected. The source of the blast was not revealed to me in the dream although in light of the current geopolitical climate it would not surprise me to learn that it was a terrorist attack.

I do sense that the Prince of Persia is trying to expand his territory and gain ground elsewhere. So terror is definitely a way to strike fear in people thus gaining control over them.”

Good news: “Something seems to be stirring!” – Pete Greig (24/7 Prayer)

Posted on by

I note reference to France, as in the word Lisa Tierney heard last August and I blogged on Monday:

Pete Greig’s Facebook > Something wonderful seems to be stirring…

📷 Snapshot #1: Friday
In Hackney, East London hundreds of young people from three local churches stay up all night to pray and seek God. Al Gordon writes “I’ve never seen anything like it. There’s a remarkable sense of consecrating love setting apart the young, calling them to holiness.”

📷 Snapshot #2: Saturday
In Trafalgar Square thousands gather to hear the gospel. Many healed and saved. Evangelist Daniel Chand sums it up in one word: “Historic”.

📷 Snapshot #3: Sunday
St Aldates, Oxford where George Whitfield gave his life to Christ, is overflowing. So many young people give their lives to Christ they lose count. Steven Foster says: “It broke our systems. From the start of the service it felt like literally anything could happen and probably would. It was mostly Gen Z responding but also prison leavers and people in recovery.”

Jesus tells us to be alert to the signs of the times, but then again we need hope not hype.

And so, after 25 years of 24-7 Prayer, contending non-stop for the tide to turn, refusing to believe for anything less than revival, I am hesitant even to type these words: something seems to be shifting at last. Just when it felt like failure. When in our darkest moment we found ourselves wondering if it had all been a waste of time.

I dare to believe because this last weekend is just the latest iteration of something bigger that seems to be happening. Over Easter

– many churches reported bumper attendances.
– 12000 were baptised in France one of the most secular nations on earth
– 419 were baptised by our friends at New Life Church in Colorado Springs.
– 469 gave their lives to Christ at Audacious church in Manchester
– 116 got saved at Soul Church in Norwich

And meanwhile – beyond events, programmes, conferences and successful services – the long-term societal markers also seem to be shifting.

– Public intellectuals from Tom Holland to Jordan Peterson to Ayaan Hirsi Ali are arguing for faith in God.
– Influencers with millions of followers are professing faith – some even getting baptised.
– Columns in the Wall Street Journal and the London Times are reporting a return to religion amongst the young. The Spectator even using the (over-excited) headline ‘Revival’. [RB well-worth reading https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/a-christian-revival-is-under-way-in-britain/]
– More than 7000 school classrooms have now been turned into prayer rooms thanks to Prayer Spaces in Schools
– 25% of Australians are saying they’d accept an invitation to church and 70% that they talk to the God they’re no longer supposed to believe in!

Now if you’re reading this and thinking ‘it doesn’t feel like that where I live,’ all I can say is this:

Firstly, let’s pray! It doesn’t matter how small the spark, if you pour petrol on it you can start a fire. Pray on your own. Pray with others. Set up a 24-7 Prayer Room.

Secondly, let’s be confident in sharing our faith. There are clear signs of a growing spiritual hunger in the land – people are more open than they were to the Lord. These things always begin in certain hotspots before they spread out.

Thirdly, let’s invest in young people. The turning is most marked amongst Gen Z. Let’s not miss this moment of opportunity.

Finally, if this stirs your heart, join us at the Wildfires Festival – where we will once again be praying, thinking, dreaming and contending for the next great awakening in our lands.

End-times Briefing 17: climate is NOT changing, God is moving!

Posted on by
Reply

Depending upon one’s way of thinking, the above title is deliberately provocative to stir a new approach in those who adhere to the doctrine of climate change. In other words it may stir them to consider seriously that it is NOT happening as they suppose. Or, we could entitle this Briefing: “The climate IS changing, for God is moving!’

So, to continue from Briefing 16 on the signs Jesus indicated and recalling recent posts, we now revisit the last two:

  1. Unequivocal Warnings on ‘Climate Change’ as New False Religion
  2. What the Living Lord God IS Saying About Unusual Weather
  3. Heed the Almighty’s Warning About Weather and ‘Climate Change”!
  4. Wild Weather Is NOT Global Warming but BIBLICAL Warning

In the third posting I cite a most informative article published seven years ago entitled Increased ‘Natural’ and Weather Disasters and now select the following extracts (emboldening added):

More Than The Eye Can Behold

‘These designs were designed. This creation was created. That means there is a Designer—a Being with immense intelligence, creativity and power.

The God who created the heavens and the Earth, the ocean currents and the jet streams, the cloud formations and the mountain ranges, the latitudinal variations, and the ecosystem types, still controls those creations. He has the power to send gentle rains in due season as a blessing or torrential floods as a curse. In fact, He even promises to send fair weather as a blessing to nations that obey His law and to send weather disasters on nations that disobey.

God allows mankind to reap the consequences of pollution and other physical sins. But He also intervenes in the weather to punish mankind for its spiritual sins. The Bible reveals that great weather upsets and increasing natural disasters will occur in our time.

God’s ‘Unlimited Broadcasting Station’

‘The Bible teaches that not only is nature the creation of God’s mind, it is, in fact, a vital instrument through which He communicates with us. “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse” (Romans 1:20). This book—which most people have on their bookshelf, but few understand—gives us information that the best scientific instruments and guesswork simply cannot provide.

Today, any person bold enough to consider nature God’s “unlimited broadcasting station” is mocked as a religious crackpot. But the Bible boldly claims to pinpoint the causes of weather cataclysms and to forecast long-term weather trends.’

Heeding God’s Warning

‘In Amos 4:7, God says, “And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.”

This is an apt description of the world’s climate today. Some regions are experiencing record flooding as other areas experience record drought. This is because these weather disasters are divine curses being sent on mankind to prepare them for the return of Christ.

When Jesus Christ finally comes, everyone on Earth will have seen the futility of trying to decide what is good and what is evil apart from God and His law. They will recognize the curses that have come as a result, and will be ready to repent and to turn to live the way of harmony and happiness that God offered Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden after He had renewed the face of the Earth.

That will mean the dawn of a new age. Jesus Christ will set up God’s government of love, peace and joy.’

In the next Briefing we consider latest details examples of a veritable tracking system, one that ‘coincides’ with, or immediately follows, and thus is the consequential result of geopolitical activity relating to diplomatic relationship with and control of Israel…!!

End-times Briefing 16: earthquake and volcano activity

Posted on by

Signs 4 and 5 in Briefing 3 cites Jesus in Matthew 24:6-8 as saying:

  • Wars and rumors of wars – nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom: “See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
  • “And there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven ; All these are the beginnings of sorrows.”

RECENT PROPHETIC WORDS

Julie Green International Ministres‘ site has a very useful facility for searching content, so click for search results for Earthquake – then scroll down results screen to read snippets from which the whole message for each is easily accessed.

For example, atop that list is 23 September 2022 – The Corporate World is Going To Shake Like Never Before which SO appropriately opens with (underscoring added):

“For I, the Lord, am telling My children things are growing in intensity all over this Earth – weather, markets, governments, societies, earthquakes, volcanic activity, eruptions, hurricanes, and tsunamis. Everywhere you look, it seems unusual, crazy, and, many would say, abnormal.

This Earth is shaking and quaking because of what is about to come. Drastic changes are being made to set this world free. My children, get ready. Pressure will grow for you to give up and quit because of what these evil rulers are about to do next. Frustration will grow, and the world will seem to grow in chaos and confusion. This will indicate your enemies’ final moves and their final take-down. This must take place for the world to see Me.

My children, these words are not meant to frustrate you or bring fear, but to comfort you and give you hope in your victory and your enemies’ defeat.

The world is not ending. Your enemies are not winning. My Glory is about to fall on this Earth like never before. Revival will grow and grow like wildfire all over the world. My church will be noticed for miracles, signs, wonders, and countless angelic activities because I am cleansing My churches to restore My Glory in them. Man took over and didn’t want Me to attend services. I know that is hard to believe, but the enemies’ take over of the church grew and grew to a point where most churches weren’t expecting much from church services anymore. But that is all about to change. I will manifest Myself in services because these are the days of the Great Awakening, and a great hunger for My presence is growing worldwide…”

PROPHECIES MONITORED

Updates on fulfillment of those prophecies are available on the Telegram channel Prophecies Fulfilled and a search therein finds 318 news reports over the past two years relating to ‘earthquake’.  Entries of that site quote the relevant prophecy but not always provide linkage other than to the fulfilling media news report – thus, some of these include weather reports.

Blood-soaked London horses a sign of the times?

Natasha Ruddock, Communications Manager for the WPC, notes

“What is God saying to His Church as blood-soaked horses on the loose in London and Big Ben stops chiming at the same time?
At World Prayer Centre, we support and honour the prophetic and how it is essential to God’s people in the end-times.  The prophetic has different forms and there will be many interpretations of a situation….The underlying theme for many of the prophecies is a need for the Church to wake up and to go back to basics, seeking the Lord on a deeper more intimate level, preparing for what is coming and sharing Jesus in the last days.”

Thank you too, Pauline Watford and Jane Ayres for pointing out a pertinent part of what Amanda Grace videoed and published in a lengthy Word From The Lord on May 6th

“And says the Spirit of the Lord this day, the horses are running, horses broken loose and it is a sign of what is to break loose in those nations, America, and England says the Lord, the rearranging of points on the crown, Big Ben shall once again sound as the tares have come up with the wheat and now many have been afflicted by such.

“Repent says the Lord, repent for the sparing of your lives says the Lord, for the royal family of England is being weighed in this hour and Judged. The Jacob and Esau feud with 2 brothers shall take an unexpected turn as a wife goes rogue once again and reveals what has been hidden and said behind the walls of Buckingham says the Lord, for I am sifting England says the Lord and its leaders.

“I am sifting it and allowing a shaking not seen in decades to occur to wake up the people to renew their hearts back to ME the Lord their God and REVIVE their nation says the Lord.”

Selah!

War drums are rising over nations – Veronika West

LISTEN –  WAR DRUMS ARE RISING OVER NATIONS!

I Hear the Sound of War Drums Rising Over Nations!

I hear The Spirit of Revelation saying, “Listen! Who will sound the sound of distinction and who will cry out and warn the people of the destruction that is coming suddenly, swiftly and without warning?

Who will sound The Alarm to awaken the deep sleepers from their slumber?

Listen and pay attention!

For there is a Call to War! There is a Call to Roar! There is a Call to Soar!

For the Battle-lines have been drawn — and the Gauntlet has been thrown down!

I say, Watch — as My Righteous Remnant rises in the Strength and Power of My Righteous Right Arm to take it up and annihilate my enemies!

See! For My Anger has been stirred up — and My Fury burns hot and the simmering pot has now reached boiling point against The Nations that have sought to divide My Land and steal My Heritage!

HA! For surely I tell you — I will become the enemy of my enemies — and severe Judgement shall be poured out through Floods and through Fires — and My Governing Hand shall come in The Whirlwind of My Seven Spirits to scatter and to gather the spoils, and The Sword of The LORD shall fall upon The Nations, and the foundations shall shake and quake, and the ground beneath their feet shall crumble and give way to the waters of the sea!

I shall NOT be mocked!

For the darkness that covers them shall become darker still — and their eyes will be blinded and their feet shall stumble — and I will lead them into a pit of destruction and into the trap of their own making!

Listen! Fear not! For I AM in charge and will bring great Triumph out of great trouble and turmoil — and those who call upon My Name — and those who wait upon Me — shall never be confounded or put to shame!

And those who put their trust in My Unfailing Love, shall be kept safe and secure in the coming days!”

Blessings to you all.

Reprise: Vision of holy hailstones breaking the ‘White House’ – Veronika West

Posted on by
4

[First published on this blog 29 March 2021. NB. The dream occurred during the Biden regime’s first month and is notable for disclosures of deep conspiracy during that time-frame and now exposed this week –  to feature in the next post. Underscores by RB]  

In the plethora of information to hand in the first week of February I noticed this dream published by Veronika but, although copy-pasted, it remained in my drafts folder perhaps overlooked in the sweeping tide of events.

Even so, it was and remains of particular relevance to some dubious, debatable details about the Biden administration at the White House that I wanted to blog about. I note its deep significance must have stirred Veronika because she re-published it yesterday but without any introduction.

In my humble opinion, it connects not only with the New Year’s Eve prophetic word of  Light, Camera, Action she brought, later to be mirrored by The Marshall Report’s Oops The Biden Show; is in Take 5, but also with current events and his administration’s demise.

Here’s His Kingdom Prophecy version published 7 February 2021:

“HAILSTONES FROM HEAVEN AND THE FRAGILE GLASS WHITE HOUSE MADE OF SAND THAT WILL FALL AND NOT STAND”…!

After praying concerning a poignant dream I had a few nights ago, I felt The LORD leading me to share this dream this evening.

I will only share parts of the dream, for the purpose of prayer.

A few nights ago [January- February] I had a powerful dream where I found myself standing in a strange place in The Realm of The Spirit.

The atmosphere in the dream was heavy with demonic presence and oppression, but although I felt the darkness around about me, I was at total peace in the dream, as I knew I had been caught up by The LORD in the dream to be shown something  prophetically significant.

Now as I stood watching and waiting in this dream, suddenly I saw a massive Hourglass filled with sand, standing over the nation of America, and as I looked at the grains of sand falling within the Hourglass, I heard these Words in the dream, “The Sands of Time are in My Hand within this land.”

As I heard those Words, suddenly, I saw a dark Whirlwind beginning to form within the Hourglass, and as I looked at the great Whirlwind that was swirling within the Hourglass, suddenly I felt a tangible demonic power coming from within the dark Whirlwind, and I heard these Words, “A whirlwind of death and destruction comes to reap a harvest of souls.”

Now as those words echoed loudly in the dream, I saw the grains of Sand within the Hourglass begin to fall with greater acceleration. Then I heard these Words, “The dark whirlwind of destruction and death seeks to bring an acceleration within The Sands of Time for greater demonic domination and satanic reformation to the foundation of this nation.”

As I heard those Words, I found myself standing again in the dream, watching what looked like a great Sand Storm that was moving across the land, and as I looked at the Sand Storm blowing very powerfully and slowly across the nation, suddenly the strong winds of the Sand Storm began to disperse, until eventually the Sand Storm completely disappeared.

But then suddenly, I heard these Words, “For as the dust begins to settle over the land, so all will be revealed and exposed!”

As I heard those Words, I found myself standing in front of what looked like ‘The White House’, but as I looked at the White House, I saw that the entire structure of the White House was made of thin fragile glass, and everything in the White House was visible.

Nothing was hidden or concealed! The entire White House — including the furnishings within the White House — was made of clear fragile glass.

Now as I looked again in the dream at this massive glass structure which was ‘The White House’, suddenly I heard these Words, ”Those who live in Glass Houses shouldn’t throw stones! Watch! For the fragile Glass House made of sand will fall and not stand!”

Now as I heard those Words, I saw Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the dream, sitting in the fragile Glass White House and they were surrounded by many people, and they were all discussing the future plans, strategies and tactics that were going to be implemented for governing and ruling over the nation in the days ahead.

As I listened to their conversations and as I watched their behaviour in the dream, I became aware that all those who were in the fragile Glass White House, were totally unaware that the structure that surrounded them was made of fragile glass, and that everything they were doing was being fully revealed and exposed for all to see.

Note: Now, as I was seeing these things in the dream it was made known to me by The Spirit that what I was seeing in the dream was how God saw everything.

I was being shown everything from God’s Perspective, for nothing can be concealed or hidden from His Sight, for even the darkness is light to him!

Back to the dream… I was then shown that those who were in the Glass White House, believed that they were safe and secure.

They were all oblivious to the vulnerability and the instability of the fragile Glass House that they were in, and they all believed that they were untouchable, that they were able to do and continue to do whatever they desired, without any consequences for their actions and their decisions, and that they had indeed succeeded in building and establishing for themselves a great and powerful house/ kingdom of their own making.

Now as I kept looking at the fragile Glass White House in the dream and all that was taking place, I saw that the White House was void of The Fear of God!

The rooms within the White House looked dim, as there was very little light. Then I saw that a thick veil of darkness seemed to be covering the eyes of all the people within the House.

As I looked at the veil upon their eyes, I heard these Words, ”Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind, and if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into the dark pit.”

As those Words swirled round about me in the dream, suddenly I saw Joe Biden walk up to a small table where he sat down and he began to sign pieces of paper.

And as I watched him signing all these different pieces of paper, I heard him say these words, “These laws will become the stones that will rebuild and reform the foundation of this nation….”

As he said those words, I heard these Words again, “Those who live in Glass Houses shouldn’t throw stones! Watch! For the Fragile Glass House made of sand will fall and not stand!”

As I heard those Words for a second time, suddenly I felt the ground beneath my feet begin to shake and tremble, and then I heard these Words in the dream, ”Brace! Brace, for an earthquake is coming!”

But as those Words came to me in the dream, The spirit of The LORD quickened this verse to me,

“….and everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it….” Matthew 7:26-27.

As that verse seemed to penetrate my inner most being in the dream, suddenly I saw the sky above the fragile Glass White House begin to turn black as heavy rain clouds began to form over the land, and I heard these Words, “It’s time to go up, for there is a sound of the abundance of rain!”

As I heard those Words, suddenly the massive Hourglass appeared before me again in the dream, and as I looked at the sand within the Hourglass, I saw that the grains of sand within the Hourglass looked as if they were suspended in time — as if ‘time with the Hourglass had suddenly, stopped’.

But as I looked at the grains of sands within the Hourglass — which now seemed to stand still — I heard these Words, “For The Sands of Time are in My Hand in this land. Watch! For the Hail Stones of Heaven shall fall like rain upon the Glass White House made of sand — for it will fall, and not stand!”

As I heard those Words in the dream, I watched as, yet again, another Whirlwind began to form within the Hourglass, a Whirlwind of Radiant Light which began to swirl round and round with great power.

The Whirlwind of Light moved within the Hourglass, and as I kept watching the Whirlwind of Radiant Light, I heard these Words, “The Whirlwind of Awe and Wonder now stirs up The Sands ofTtime that will bring a Divine Reversal to the satanic agenda that sought to accelerate the plans of death and destruction in the land!”

As I heard those Words, I saw massive Hailstones begin to fall like rain upon the fragile Glass White House made of sand, that stood in the land, and I watched in the dream, as the White House made of glass, was completely dismantled and utterly destroyed. Nothing was left standing!

As I woke up from the dream, I immediately began to pray and write down all I had just seen and heard.

Postscript:

Now as I have prayed and meditated over parts of this dream, I believe the dream reveals that there is a powerful satanic agenda in this hour, to bring forth the One World Order before its time. Satan desires to effect the time and seasons.

The main assignment of the enemy, I believe, is to disrupt, derail and destroy the coming Revival and Harvest that is now getting ready to be birthed in the nation(s).

The enemy is seeking in this hour, to alter and accelerate the time for the purpose of bringing forth destruction and death into this nation(s).

But, as I was shown clearly in the dream, I believe that if we will continue to stand and pray, we ‘will see Heaven move and manifest in a mighty and miraculous way.

I believe, not only will we see The Hand of God move to stop this satanic acceleration of time from taking place, but there can be a Divine Reversal to the destructive plans and purposes of the enemy, that have already begun to take hold over the nation!

This kingdom of darkness that the enemy is endeavouring to build and establish in the nation in this hour, certainly gives the illusion of great power and strength. This can be very intimidating and overwhelming if we are not securely anchored to The Rock of our Salvation!

We are seeing many hearts failing for fear and hopelessness, as they see Satan using many willing vessels in this hour, trying to rebuild and reform the very foundations of this great nation.

These satanic attacks have been relentless and have been strategically working to undermine the bedrock of Truth, Freedom and Righteousness that the nation has been founded upon.

This is not a time to shrink back or retreat into caves, but the ekklesia must arise and take her place with boldness and courage on the battlefield, for the destiny of the nations.

The Bride of Christ must now advance, to push back the powers of darkness that threaten to steal the birthright of the nations!

Let us Declare that: “The Hail Stones of Heaven will begin to fall like rain and that the fragile Glass House made of sand will fall and not stand!”

Please, as you pray over this dream, and as you ask The Holy Spirit to give you a witness, would you then share with others for the purpose of Prayer and Intercession?

Blessings to you all.

Heed the Almighty’s warning about weather and ‘climate change’!

Posted on by

I’m grateful to Mary K Dullforce for linking the following article of 2017 in her comment upon a recent post. as republished by the Philadelphia Church of God, and in which commences with:

‘What is wrong with the weather? Is it really climate change? Are hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods and forest fires really “natural”? Why are these once-in-a-lifetime, where-did-this-come-from, never-before-witnessed calamities piling up on top of one another?

The number of natural disasters is measurably rising. The nonprofit Borgen Project found that the average number of natural disasters reported in 1970 was 78. During the 1990s, that number was 354 disasters a year, according to the Red Cross. Between 2000 and 2004, that number jumped to 728 natural disasters per year, and then the number decreased slightly since. However, the severity and the cost of these disasters have continued to rise.

“Unprecedented” and “record” disasters are happening at a quickening pace. “History making” events are becoming commonplace. Such catastrophes should challenge our thinking. They force us to contemplate the fragility of man. They demand that we consider some of the deeper questions that we all-too-easily ignore in more prosperous and peaceful times.

Scientists are searching for explanations within the natural world itself, particularly as disasters increase in frequency and lethality…’

This informative article’s closing section begins:

Heeding God’s Warning

‘The God of the Bible is indeed all-powerful, all-knowing and all-loving. He promises to bless people for obedience and curse them for disobedience.

In Leviticus 26:3-4, God says, “If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.” Are the cities that are being deluged with floods, or those that are languishing in drought, receiving this blessing? Why not?

If you believe the God of the Bible, you know that droughts, floods and other disasters are curses for disobedience. The solution to such curses is repentance. For our land to be healed, we must understand these promises.’

I note this church’s past connection to Herbert Armstrong for I recall having read some of his The Plain Truth magazines decades ago when a New Ager searching for Truth,  and noted its making church relevant to modern times and topical events.

By the way, God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform…

In times when my intentions for what I’d like to write and a time-slot for doing so goes awry and yet somehow comes together, I’m reminded of 18th Century poet William Cowper’s famous hymnal:

Kindly bear with me on another personal journal:

Since Iran’s direct missile attack last weekend I was reminded of and searched out the prophecies I’d mentally noted about that regime and thus intended incorporating them eventually into this week’s postings – IF nothing else crops up!  SO maybe I could do it yesterday, but in came a call about a cancelled eye-test appointment that enabled me to attend at 11 am – almost simultaneously came another call I couldn’t take. SO my plans went up in the air and I had to ‘wing it’!

Later, I found that other call was a chaser about my lapsed subscription to the Daily Telegraph’s digital and printed editions combined. I’d enquired over the phone some months ago but decided to let it expire. However, I tried again mid-afternoon and got and accepted a lower annual price!

Had that not happened, then I wouldn’t have been able to close the day with such a surprise as jigsaw pieces fell into place!

Nina’s choir practice last night was opportune for me gathering paper and on-screen details needed to copy and compose Recent prophecies being fulfilled on Iran.

Upon completing the several prophecies I was just about to publish, but got nudged to check if I could now access latest UK news on my renewed digital subscription > Indeed I could and WHAT’S MORE, it thereby enabled you and me to read about other aspects of the cited prophecies being fulfilled within Iran by its own citizens!!

God’s holy word on Jerusalem and His protection during Iran’s airborne attack!

Posted on by

The previous post refers to my learning as a non-Christian about the city of Jerusalem being the focal point of attack by Iranian elite forces – both in past rehearsals and actual airborne assault from 331 missiles and drones last Saturday evening, the close of holy Sabbath. That fact alone proves Iran approved and supervised their satanic barbarians’ atrocity at dawn on Jewish holy Sabbath immediately closing the Feast of Tabernacles.

Now, in connection with The Almighty’s eternal covenant with the Jewish nation, consider His heart, intentions and protection of Jerusalem, as given in open vision and orally to prophet Zechariah 2,500 years ago (emphases mine): Continue reading →

SEEING THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE

Introduction

As main-stream media sticks to the pro-Palestinian narrative, and ignores any evidence to the contrary, it is deeply depressing to see that America and Great(?) Britain have totally failed to understand the true intent of Iran and its proxies (see recent article on the significance of Gaza, and why Israel has no alternative but to ensure the destruction of Hamas). Betraying our allies was once considered indefensible; now it is seen as a political expedient. I examine our moral decline and how our once reliable and authoritative main-stream media bears considerable blame for misleading the Nation. I also look at whether these things have End-Times significance. Continue reading →

End-times Briefing 13: Book of Revelation’s importance – 10 key points

In his third annexure to Simplicity, Neil Mackereth asks and points out:

WHY IS THE BOOK OF REVELATION SO IMPORTANT?
10 KEY POINTS

1. It is the Culmination of The Bible Story. The denouement.
Could you imagine the Bible ending with the one-chapter book of Jude?

2. It Shows Jesus in His glory – As King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
So awesome that even His close friend John fell on his face as if dead when he saw Jesus. We know Jesus as prophet, teacher, priest, healer and so on – but here we see Him in all His glory.

3. It Provides Knowledge: to Defeat Misinformation. A challenge to false prophets and false doctrine.

4. It Provides Knowledge: to Help us Understand World Events. Revelation shows that God foreknew, He is in control, and His plan will not be thwarted.
Current events: Israel, 1948 and following; moves towards a new world order – a world economic system and a world governmental system.

5. It Provides Knowledge: to help us be pathfinder guides and watchmen for Israel.

6. It is a Basis for Evangelism.
It is my contention that the incredible significance and glorious wonder of so much fulfilled prophecy in the Bible, is so “undersold” that it indicates the church has been duped into veiling parts of the Word of God Any other prophetic book that was so absolutely accurate over so many events over such a long period of time, would be hailed and revered in awe and wonder by the secular world.

7. An antidote to complacency.
We now know enough to not be caught unawares.

8. Future Focus: it prepares us for what lies ahead.
Revelation tells us more about our eternal home and condition, rather than our current temporary state – more about the significance and urgency of the choice we, and all people, need to make.

9. Worship.
A book full of worship, and how to worship – 11 major songs that have inspired a multitude of hymns and choral works, songs etc.

10. Because God tells us it is Special!
It is the only book in the Bible that blesses the reader and the hearer (Rev 1:3) John wrote it as he saw it and heard it, which may account for its unusual style – he was continually being reminded to write down what he saw and heard, and then told not to change it! – Reveleation 22:18-19.

End-times Briefing 12: an overview of the Book of Revelation

[First posted 2.7.20]

Briefing 11’s Introduction to the Book of Revelation draws to a close by its author, Neil Mackereth, stating “Apocalyptic works seek to inform the reader about aspects of an End-Times drama. The grand climax of the Bible is imminent — that is to say, it could happen at any moment…”  He reminds us, “The Bible explains that two absolute powers or principles operate in the universe…In the book of Revelation (and the whole Bible), God himself is the ultimate source of all that is good; Satan and his followers refuse to submit to God and are the ultimate source of evil. This ethical dichotomy underlies the conflict within the book of Revelation”.:

OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION

The Prologue provides essential information for understanding the meaning and structure of the Book of Revelation. “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place; he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.” (Rev. 1:1–2).

Apostle John conveys to his first-century readers the unveiling of Jesus. It’s something like the showing of a video of a Monarch and his court. The Book of Revelation is written for Christians who understand the language of a faith unique to Christian experience. But given the complexity of the metaphors and images, even “insiders” have difficulty understanding Revelation. However, anyone can grasp the basic message: Jesus is going to return to earth, overthrow Satan’s evil empire, reward his faithful followers, punish those who reject his Lordship, and create a new heaven and a new earth.

From the very start, it is abundantly clear that God holds the Book of Revelation to be of paramount importance.

Revelation continues with 7 letters dictated by Jesus to John for distribution to the churches at: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. The letters, which summarise positive and negative aspects of these representative churches, have stood the test of time.  They were written over 1,900 years ago but signpost conditions and circumstances that continue to exist in churches today.

The pattern of the letters is fairly consistent. Each is addressed to a specific church, followed by a particular characteristic of Jesus. Then comes positive comments (none for Sardis or Laodicea) and negative comments (none for Smyrna or Philadelphia), and advice to each.  The letters close with an entreaty that the readers will open their ears and hear, and with a promise to ‘overcomers’, which is different for each church.

These letters are relatively straightforward and understandable (which is not to say that we shouldn’t look for help to “unpack” their full meaning!).

From chapter 4 onwards we move into an altogether more challenging series of visions that are filled with symbolism, allegories, metaphors, imagery and other such figures of speech and apocryphal language: to try to interpret the Book literally would be to miss its meaning.  Some scholars argue that there are seven visions each of which is linked to a matching day in the seven days of creation in Genesis (ie. that the order of events links the beginning with the end).

The timing and sequence of events can be difficult to follow.  This is in part because the very act of writing things down gives them an order that may not be intended.  Some of the actions recorded are clearly happening simultaneously.

I have the impression that John (Jesus’ scribe) is seeing visions on a huge scale (like vast paintings) and trying to scribble down what catches his eye, without necessarily having time to arrange and classify the information.  It is clear that there are two or three sections that are digressions or parentheses from the central narrative.

Furthermore, the unusual style, which is not in character with John’s other writings, may have remained ‘unedited’ because of the very strong warning against alteration given in Rev. 22: 18-19.  These verses show us again that Revelation is both unique and of huge significance: no other book of the Bible has such a ‘health warning’!

In simple terms, Revelation shows that:

  • Things on earth are not right and the Church is not as it should be (Rev. 2 & 3);
  • Things in heaven are right: God is on His throne and Jesus is the overseer and leader for the End-Time plan and action (Rev. 4 & 5);
  • The world will suffer great tribulation for 3½ years, under the unholy trinity of Satan, the antichrist and the false prophet (Rev. 6-18);
  • Jesus will return as King of kings and Lord of lords, defeat the armies of the unholy trinity and establish His rule on the earth for a thousand years. The Day of Judgement will be at the end of the millennium rule, followed by the ushering in of the new heaven, new Earth and new Jerusalem (Rev. 19-22).

JESUS WINS!

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

Posted on by

[First posted 2.7.20]

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

A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify [it], having sent through his messenger to his servant John, 2 who did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things also as he did see. 3 Happy is he who is reading, and those hearing, the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it — for the time is nigh!

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION

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

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

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

The Hebrew Mindset

Those who first taught me Bible truths encouraged me to read the Bible with integrity, in context and with a Hebrew mindset. I felt confident about the context and integrity aspects but, in the past, rather glossed over the “mindset” factor.

Recently, whilst meditating on the concept of divine control, I had a distinct feeling that I should address the mindset question far more rigorously. As I have come to understand it, there are three main types of mindset, and each will lead to a different world view:

  1. Barbarian: Tyrannical “strong man” rule based on control by fear. Typically, a ruthless dictator using extreme force to subjugate. Examples of the Barbarian mindset include ISIS, the Taliban, the Church during the Inquisition, Iraq under Saddam Hussein, Iran, North Korea and so on.
  2. Greek: Man-centric democratic rule based on the concept that human reason reigns supreme and that the application of intellect and logic can bring about a utopian liberal society. Ours is the pride, power and glory, there is no need for God. Knowledge is power and anything that cannot be comprehended is ignored. Examples include USA, UK, most European countries and communist nations.
  3. Hebrew: God-centric (Theocracy) based on acknowledgement of God’s existence and His absolute power and authority. A biblical way of thinking and acting that is Holy Spirit lead. Standards based on the Torah which guides moral values of right and wrong, holy and unholy. Examples here are more difficult. Historically, the Jewish nation had a Hebrew mindset. However, the new Israel, post 1948, is much more secular. There are undoubtably people groups and individuals who have a Hebrew mindset; but no nation.

The various mindsets do not necessarily operate in isolation. Barbarian groups may work within a democracy and vice versa. Also, to state the obvious, Bible believing committed Christians may live in democracies or in totalitarian states.

Why is it important?

If we don’t put God at the centre in our Christian walk and our Bible study, we will live on the fringes of what is available to us (Proverbs 3:5,13; Joshua 1:9; Psalm 1; 1 John 5: 13-15; etc.).

When considering the Book of 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. Recently, it was made clear to me that the word ‘theological’ is a one-word oxymoron (contradiction in terms) implying that God can be explained by some logical process. We can learn a huge amount by a systematic approach to the study of theology, but the mystery remains and there comes a point where only faith and God-given spiritual discernment can help us.

God is in control and is shaking the foundations of our man-made democratic systems and liberal world view. I am convinced that churches which adopt the Greek mindset, and only operate in what they understand, will not see miracles. That is not to say that individuals with a Hebrew mindset within those churches won’t see miracles. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear will recognise that the weaknesses of democracy are being exposed.

BACK TO REVELATION

The word Revelation is synonymous with the word ‘Apocalypse’, which means unveiling or revealing. The Book of Revelation is so called because it reveals the glory of Jesus, and unveils God’s End-Time plan. Because of its “end of the world” association, the meaning of the word apocalypse has come to be used as a descriptive noun that denotes damage or destruction on a catastrophic scale.

John wrote the book of Revelation during the era of apocalypticism. This rather daunting word is more about how we view things than being a clearly definable literary style or type. There are historic plays and dramatic writings of the period, between 200 BC to 200 AD, that share some common literary themes with Revelation. Apocalypticism involves a view of reality where there is a disclosing, unveiling, or revealing of something that was previously hidden or secret. Put another way, when John was writing, an apocalypse would have been understood as a public disclosure of something that had previously been kept secret.

In a dream or trance-like state, John is transported to heaven and is given a conducted tour of God’s headquarters. There he gains some insights into the workings of heavenly realms and God’s operations room, and their interaction with the worldly realm. He sees and is briefed on various aspects of God’s End-Times plan, including some classified information which he is told he is not to reveal. For most of his tour he has an angelic guide who explains the meaning of the events and visions that John is witnessing.

The idea of an angelic mentor is not unique to Revelation. The books of Ezekiel, Daniel, and Zechariah have apocalyptic passages where angels provide commentary (Ezekiel 40:3–4, 43:6–27; Daniel 7:15–28, 8:15–27, 10:10–21; Zechariah 1:9–2:13, 4:1–6:15).

Further to this point, for a full appreciation of End-Times prophecy it is necessary to study a wide range of Old Testament prophetic books and New Testament scriptures. Revelation draws together many threads of End-Times prophetic writing. For example, the description of the antichrist given in Daniel 9 is developed more fully in Revelation 13. Similarly, the apocalyptical threads in Daniel 7-12, Isaiah 24-27, Ezekiel 37-41 and Zechariah 9-12 are all drawn together in Revelation. In other words, I don’t think that Revelation can be studied in isolation. Some theologians go so far as to suggest that the whole Bible could be studied (reverse-studied!) from Revelation: to which I would comment; such an undertaking would not be for the faint-hearted!

Apocalyptic works seek to inform the reader about aspects of an End-Times drama. The grand climax of the Bible is imminent — that is to say, it could happen at any moment. As the prologue of Revelation explains, “The time is near” (1:3). The Bible explains that two absolute powers or principles operate in the universe. A fundamental divide exists between good and evil. In the book of Revelation (and the whole Bible), God himself is the ultimate source of all that is good; Satan and his followers refuse to submit to God and are the ultimate source of evil. This ethical dichotomy underlies the conflict within the book of Revelation.

First, we continue from PPU 127.1 with reaction from Catholic clergy, including another call for Biden’s excommunication!

Read in full advert-free here.

“…I ask my Brethren in the Episcopate and priests to recognize that Joe Biden has incurred latæ sententiæ excommunication, and as such must be expelled from the churches and not admitted to Communion. I call on Catholics and all Christians to pray that, on this solemn Easter Day, the Risen Lord will have mercy on the United States of America and put an end to the onslaught of the infernal forces unleashed today more than ever before…

Luciferian hatred of God and our Lord Jesus Christ can no longer be hidden or denied. This is the revelation unveiled before us, which the servants of darkness provocatively mock by celebrating perversions and vices on the very holy Day when we honor the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ…”

Read this bravely forthright archbishop’s Statement in full here.

Now to the prophetic word brought by Julie Green on Biden’s blasphemy:

One Nation Under God received on 3rd July last year concludes (emphases except for last are mine and note ‘Two Presidents’ reference, as brought 16 years ago yesterday by Kim Clement, copy herein):

‘Great blasphemy I have seen and heard. Watch what happens next in the White House, your Capitol Building, and Washington, D.C. A great fall is about to take place. 

“Biden is a fake!” people will scream. “Two presidents, how can this be? How can this happen in our Nation?” Great judgment will be seen in this land against the ones who have stolen your freedom, your Nation, your elections, and your health. 

The day is drawing near when you will see all who are against you be removed. So stand your ground. Hold the line and do not give up on Me and My protection of it (this Nation). You will see that I am the defender and protector of the United States, and your enemies will never have this Nation or what they desired from it. 

Their (your enemies’) great reset is about to fall. Hold on a little bit longer. Their dam is about to break. Every lie is about to be revealed, and truth will completely set you free, saith the Lord.  

I am with this Nation, no matter what man says, no matter what your enemy says, and no matter what it looks like. This Nation will be what it was always meant to be on this Earth – a blessing to the nations; a light to the world; a superpower to help defend and protect from the evil, corruption, and enemies that have tried to infiltrate every nation on this Earth. This country will be what I have called it to be, and nothing will get in the way of that.  

Freedom is coming like you have never known. Call it in. Receive it now in My Name, the Name of Jesus. It has been won. Your enemies are defeated. Believe that this day. Freedom will rise, and liberty will be celebrated once again. Shout your freedoms today. Take back what is yours now,” saith the Lord your Redeemer.’

Now note, Donald Trump trump’s Biden’s call:
