The Existential Threat to Israel – Part 3: A War of Survival – Neil Mackereth

Hot on the heels of Part 2 my retired soldier friend and author of Signs: The Significance of Bible Prophecy submitted this afternoon (images added): 

THE  EXISTENTIAL  THREAT  TO  ISRAEL  PART 3 – A WAR OF SURVIVAL

Introduction

This is a very critical time in the history of modern Israel. I believe that decisions
made in the next few days will determine whether the Gog and Magog war (Ezekiel
38) is precipitated or if, alternatively, there will be a victory of sorts in Gaza followed
by a period of peace. The latter may seem the more attractive outcome; however,
there is no doubt that the Gog and Magog war is coming.

As I said at the end of Part 2, the situation is changing as I write. What is more, it is
difficult to get accurate real-time information. I am deeply distressed by the
polarisation that is developing; and by the BBC reporting, which seems intent on
encouraging that polarisation. [RB. It’s exceptionally badly biased pro-hamas support was noted 9 years ago in my Call for Clarity on Israel and Gaza!)

The media must bear some responsibility for the imbalance in reporting that, I believe, is encouraging mass intolerance and demonstrations, in support of a movement many of the partakers know very little about. Watching recent news reports, I am reminded of scenes from “Kristallnacht” in Germany in 1938, when marauding mobs roamed the streets attacking Jewish homes, businesses and synagogues.

The Dilemma Facing Israel

In any military appreciation of a situation, it is always wise to seek to assess, and try
to better understand, the situation from the enemy’s point of view. That requires a
working knowledge of their motives, intentions, strengths and weaknesses, and
tactics; and, in particular, what they must be stopped from doing, whatever the cost.
The leaders of Israel face an almost impossible dilemma.

Some key factors affecting their decision making:
  • Iran, and its proxies, are motivated by a deeply flawed genocidal Muslim
    theology.
  • Israel is losing the propaganda war – and putting Israel, and Jews world-wide,
    in great jeopardy.
  • Every effort must be made to rescue the hostages.
  • Hamas uses the Gaza population as a human shield and hides its operational
    headquarters, weapons and munitions etc., in tunnels under hospitals,
    schools and such like.
  • Hamas pays no heed to the “rules of war”.
  • World opinion, and the need to maintain the support of allies, may limit flexibility (hamper operations).
  • Iran is likely to have the ability to build and deliver nuclear warheads, within
    weeks. The thought of that capability, being in the hands of radical Muslim
    fanatics, is frightening.
  • Hezbollah has over 100,000 fighters, is far better equipped and trained than
    Hamas, and has at least 100,000 rockets, many of which are sophisticated
    precision (targetable) missiles, plus drones and anti-tank, anti-aircraft and
    anti-ship missiles.
  • If Hezbollah where to attack fully now, Israel is mobilised and ready; if they don’t,
    Israel has to ask why not?
  • Possibilities (What Ifs): Perhaps Iran’s strategy involves the drawing out of the IDF, and the loss of Hamas and Gaza citizens may be viewed as a necessary sacrifice (collateral damage) to achieving their ultimate goal (explained in Part 1, radical Muslims do not have a western mind-set). Or perhaps Iran wants to delay an attack, in order to complete its nuclear weapons programme.

Summary

For Israel, “victory” in Gaza (and only Gaza) could lead to a false peace and, as a
consequence, to the demobilisation of reservists. The battle fatigued reservists would return home (and back to work) and start to relax. If Hezbollah were then to launch a full-scale attack, i.e., shortly after IDF demobilisation, the challenges for Israel would be immense.

God is revealing the true nature of the society in which we live, and it is alarmingly bad. The liberals, who took control of the madhouse decades ago, do not understand what they have unleashed. Their view that most, if not all, people are motivated by logic, reason and self-interest is flawed: there are some who will never enter negotiations with honest intent.

Iran and its proxies are driven by a deep pathological hatred of Israel and are committed to a radical Muslim theology that demands the annihilation of all Jews.
Similarly, the “Palestinian Cause” has always been a cover for the expulsion of Jews
from Israel, and has never been about sharing the land.

Why are the blood-chilling genocidal statements made by anti-Israel leaders and clerics, that show their true motives, never broadcast by the mainstream media?

Conclusion

Israel is fighting a war for its existence against a genocidal enemy. Whichever way things go, it seems inevitable that Israel will be vilified and, by association, all Jews world-wide will suffer.

Undoubtedly, one of Satan’s objectives, in his attempts to undermine God’s redemptive plan, is to stop the fulfillment of Biblical End-times prophecy. To that end, he is seeking to annihilate all Jews so that Jesus has no Jewish Kingdom to which to return and rule. The Bible shows that he will fail.

We may appear to be in an unstoppable downward spiral to disaster, but God’s plans
will not be thwarted. It has never been more important to understand the signs of the
times, watch for the fulfillment of prophecy, and to be ready. JESUS WILL RETURN.
Halleluiah!

Cont’d: ‘…to the international media – this is how the terrorist organization Hamas takes fuel from the hospitals in the Gaza Strip, at the expense of the humanitarian needs of the residents of Gaza.

The exposed conversation between the commander of the West Jabaliya battalion of Hamas and Gazati, with the participation of the director of the Indonesian hospital, is further proof of Hamas’ cynical use of humanitarian resources in the Gaza Strip. In addition, the conversation confirms that the terrorist organization Hamas controls the existing energy resources in the Gaza Strip and chooses to channel them for its operational needs at the expense of the needs of the civilian population.’

A reminder from Tony Puccio of 11 years-old prophetic dream

I had a dream 11/13/2012 and I saw in the dream military equipment, i.e., tanks and soldiers and then I heard the words Jacob’s trouble being spoken in the dream. I was not given a timeline in the dream but I felt it was not too far in the distant future.

Jerimiah 30:7 – Alas! for that day will be great, so that none will be like it; it will be the time of Jacob’s [unequaled] trouble, but he will be saved out of it. [Matthew. 24:29, 30; Rev. 7:14.]

Zechariah 12:3 – And in that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all peoples; all who lift it or burden themselves with it shall be sorely wounded. And all the nations of the earth shall come and gather together against it. (Psalm 122:6)

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they prosper who love you [the Holy City]! (Psalm 122:7) May peace be within your walls and prosperity within your palaces!

The Existential Threat to Israel – Part 2: Gaza in Bible history and prophecy – Neil Mackereth

Continuing from Part 1 and, in view of its direct relevance, again I head up my friend’s exposition with this from Behold Israel channel:

THE  EXISTENTIAL  THREAT  TO  ISRAEL – Part 2

Gaza

I was surprised to discover that Gaza is mentioned at least 20 times in the Bible. The
only positive reference I could find was the story, in Acts 8, where Phillip evangelises
and baptises a man who is on his way to Gaza.

For the most part, Gaza is referred to as a place where the leaders and people (e.g.,
the Canaanites and the Philistines) hated God and the Israelites. The Israelites, in
Judges 1, were ordered by God to conquer Gaza, which they did.

The prophets Amos (1:6-7), Zephania (2:4) and Zechariah (9:5) wrote about the
wickedness of Gaza and the judgement that God would bring upon its inhabitants.
I will return shortly to the question of whether the current calamity in Gaza has end-
times significance.

The Palestinian Cause

The Palestinians have shaped a widely accepted narrative, about their history and
situation, which is based on lies. They have been so successful in convincing the
media to promulgate their version of history, that any attempt to challenge the
accuracy of their fabricated story is now seen as race hatred and/or Islamophobia.
Comments that the region has been “Palestine” for 2000 years, and that Gaza has
been confined and its people oppressed by colonialist Israel, are simply not true.
These entrenched views are well-nigh impossible to correct.

Rather than reiterate what others have said, I recommend the comprehensive and
well-researched articles posted on “Richard’s Watch”: Conversations and corrections
over history of Palestine and Israel – 1 of 2  and 2 of 2

Also, a “Prophecy Today” article, which lays bare some very uncomfortable facts about the true intentions of Radical and Apocalyptic Islam: Cutting Through the Fog of War

In a nutshell, the land (about 10 times the size of current Israel) was given by God to
the Israelites over 4000 years ago. Roman Emperor Hadrian crushed an Israeli
revolt in 135 AD and renamed Israel (Judea) Syria Palistina, in his attempts to
subdue Jewish nationalism.

The truth is that, after they began returning to Israel and the state consequently being established in 1948, it was to a very small area of their homeland.

In researching these topics: I have noted that many sources of information, including
the UN, have sanitised (adjusted or omitted) parts of the History of the region.

The tragedy of the false “Palestinian” narrative is that many compassionate people,
with a heart for the disadvantaged and social justice, do not understand the full
history of the movements they support: the people of Gaza need to be freed from
Hamas (see Part 1). Hamas have no interest or concern for the well-being of the
people they use as their human shields in Gaza, and who they exploit for propaganda
purposes.

Prophetic Significance

Returning to the question of Gaza’s prophetic significance. There are a number of
biblical prophecies that need to be borne in mind, by anyone who is intentional about
marrying past prophecies with contemporary events. Time will tell whether we are
witnessing Matthew 24 “birth pains”, or further along the End-Times time-line. Some
relevant prophecies:

  1. Damascus will be in ruins (Isaiah 17:1)
  2. There will be wars and rumours of wars (Matthew 24:6-7)
  3. Gaza will writhe in agony (Zechariah 9:5)
  4. False teachers and prophets will lead people astray (2 Peter 2:1-2)
  5. Earthquakes, famines, plague and pestilences will intensify (Luke 21:11)
  6. Travel and knowledge will increase greatly (Daniel 12:4)
  7.  People will prefer fantasy to reality, myth to truth (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
  8. The Jews have returned to their Biblical homeland (many prophecies); however,
    not all of the Jews have returned, and only to a fraction of the “Promised Land”.
  9. The desolate land (Israel) will (has) become fertile and fruitful—Zechariah 7:14.
  10. Things will be as they were in the days of Noah and people will be proud,
    unforgiving, lovers of self, lovers of money and pleasure (2 Timothy 3:1-5).
  11. For any communication on end time prophecies the message, and the
    messenger, will be mocked and ridiculed (2 Peter 3:3-4).
  12. The whole world will see Jerusalem as a problem (Zechariah 12:2-3).
  13. Christians will be persecuted and martyred (Matthew 24:9).
  14. Many will turn away from the Christian faith (Matthew 24:10).

Where Are We?

I am not sure, but what I can say is that we are not yet in the Ezekiel 38
Gog and Magog war. Some reasons: Russia (Magog)and Iran (Persia) are
not directly involved; Israel is not alone (weapons, equipment and
diplomatic support coming from other nations); Christians have not been
raptured (?)(!). However, the situation could alter very rapidly.

I had thought I would be able to “conclude” at this point. Not so, even as
I write I begin to hear and to realise that things are far more fragile than
I had originally believed. Israel is fighting for its very existence, and I will
explain why in Part 3.

RB Footnotes:
  1. Part 1’s PS screenshot refers to ‘taqiyya’; the doctrine of deception about Islam to avoid attacks. Read more at ‘Islam Question & Answers’ via Google search.
  2. The Jewish rebellion had lasted 60 years and Rome humiliated them by renaming the province after their centuries-old enemy.
  3. In A Call for Clarity on Israel and Gaza posted in June 2014, I noted over 11,000 genocidal rockets had been launched against Israel since it left Gaza nine years earlier. The number must now at least be double that and each attack is logged in Rocket & Mortar Attacks Against Israel by Date (2001-date) at the Jewish Virtual Library
  4. JVL’s History Wing contains a detailed history the Jewish people and the land.
  5. Prophecy TodayUK has published several excellent articles on recent events. I was disappointed, however, when its manager wanted to close our contact upon requesting their removal from the organisations listed in my paper of 2020 on The State of Prophetic in the UK.

‘God-incidence’ of 2nd Pivotal Point foretold by Jesus: “As in the Days of Noah…”

MY, WHAT A ‘GOD-INCIDENCE’!
This morning I read two separate items published yesterday referring to The Days of Noah. First, from the collection of news items on progress of prophecies brought by Julie Green:

PS. Note the ‘double-22’ yet again in the date of her covering prophecy!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-12681313/Has-Noahs-Ark-Archaeologists-reveal-ruins-Turkeys-boat-shaped-mound-date-5-000-years-ago-period-Biblical-flood.html

Secondly, in last night’s Koenig’s Eye View From The White House, Bill Wilson KIN Senior Analyst writes (emphases mine):

‘The Days of Noah and our Prophetic Times

WASH—Oct 23—KIN–The Biblical account of Noah has very similar underpinnings to the current condition of the world. As evil plays out in the Hamas attack on Israel, we can see clearly the inhumanity of humanity. When a group of people led by hatred and a genocidal ideology boldly murder, rape, torture, and dismember an innocent population, then is praised by the masses and justified by media, we know that the visitation of evil is upon us.

The prophetic words of Christ about the end of days resonate with this time in which we live. While there are several events that must occur before the return of Christ, we are witnessing prophetic signs of the coming end of the age both in the general world population and in Israel in particular.

Asked by his disciples about the signs of his coming and the end of the world, Christ was very specific. He likened world conditions to the time of Noah, when God cleansed the earth with the great flood. In Luke 17:26-27, Christ said,

“And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.”

Likewise, Matthew quoted Christ saying,

“But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”

Genesis 6:5-8 tells us the why behind both the flood and Noah’s position with God, “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD…Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.”

Herein, is the hope and faith for each of us as time closes in on the return of Christ. 2 Peter 2:5 says God “did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness…”

2 Peter 2:9 concludes that “the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of danger.” The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that no adversity, or temptation, has overtaken you except what is common to man, but God is faithful and will not allow you to go through more than what you can bear, and with the adversity he “will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”

How? By your faith. Hebrews 11:17 says, “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.”

Noah is an example for us in these dark, yet prophetic times. By faith, let us look beyond the evil of the days to the promise of our prophetic destiny. Be encouraged. You are HIS!’

The Storm…The Reaping…The Rewards – Thomas Harry

Thomas Harry, senior leader of Mount Zion International Tabernacle in Falkirk, Scotland, writes to me :

“We truly live in a historic time and the time of fulfilment of all things is here along with the expected shakings.

The Lord gave me a word on the reward of the righteous and wicked which is in keeping with a lot you share about the exposure of wickedness over the pond. In addition, it has some clarity on the current Israel situation and in particular how the Lord is using all of this to tests our hearts like Matthew 25 will impact nations.

I do not often feel such an urgency with a word, but the aspect of Israel and all of our hearts being judged has been confirmed by several people, so felt I should send to you in case you can share as I know it is central to God’s earth agenda right now. Link is below and was just published today:” 

https://z3news.com/w/urgent-the-time-of-rewards-for-the-righteous-and-the-wicked/

As recommended, first read > https://z3news.com/w/the-calm-before-the-storm/

In view of my long-standing personal interest and inspiration (“This is ALL about to be fulfilled” as told herein) regarding Matthew 13 parable of the wheat and tares, I note Thomas asks in this introductory post (emphases added):

What Type of Storm Is Coming?

Haggai 2:6 “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.”

“The coming storm is a culmination of all things, spiritual, financial, physical. It will affect all parts of life and nations. It is a clashing of kingdoms. It is the maturity of the wheat and the tares in Matthew 13:30 “Let both grow together until the End Time harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers the angels, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” 

Many can see already the various agendas that are being pushed upon the world and this will only continue until all End-Time scripture is fulfilled. As the Tares must be allowed to be revealed with all their demonic anti-God agenda’s and then judged by God. All of this will further shake the church and the true church (the Wheat) will finally arise from the midst of it. However, we can be encouraged as scripture clearly tells us that there will be a global outpouring, harvest and the manifestation of the sons of God that will lead to the church rising in power. So we all have a part to play if we want to be part of God’s plan for our time.”

His ‘urgent’ follow-up on Time of Rewards for the Righteous and the Wicked refers to Israel and I note especially our standing in agreement on my opinion upon the prime purpose behind satanic strategy:

“This is a land conflict that began with God’s covenant promise to Abraham to give him offspring and the Promised Land back in Genesis 12. That covenant He made with Abraham about the land of Israel predates the Mosaic Law and stands today as God does not break covenant. This is why scripture says in the New Testament – “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” –  Galatians 3:26. That is the same promise which believers today are a fulfilment of in Christ, exactly as scripture tells us.

Therefore, it is vital believers realize this is a spiritual battle of the highest level as the devil wants Israel wiped out. The same as the enemy sought to abort the destiny of Moses and Jesus and killed all the children in an attempt to stop their arrival and purpose. This is because he wants no nation of Israel to exist for Jesus to return to on the Mount of Olives, which will end the devil’s time of influence on the earth. If believers can grasp that point alone, many will change their perspective forever. Believers would also be greatly impacted if they could only realize that praying for peace in Jerusalem, is actually praying for the Lord’s return, as only the true Prince of Peace will establish peace in Israel, that the entire world is currently burdened with.”

So, A HUGE thank you to the Lord and to Thomas. Also, I note this accords with my asking on Monday Is this 2nd Pivotal Point for humanity versus satan?

From Fear to Victory… -Veronika West

..”FROM FEAR TO VICTORY: EMBRACING THE POWER OF GOD’ VOICE AND AUTHORITY”..!

…I hear the Spirit say,…”Beloved,…Do not let the sound of War drums deafen your ears to the Sound of My Still Small Voice that is Speaking louder in this hour,…Incline your ears to the frequency of Heaven and let the vibrations of My Glory and Power re-synchronise and re-energise your inner most being,..taking you from a place of Fear and turmoil to a position of Great Victory and Triumph over your enemies…

…Listen!…My Child,..I Call you to Come Up higher,…and to Be Seated in Heavenly Places,..for My desire is to Lift you up and out of the enemies territory,…For I have made you Kings and High Priests that you may Rule and Reign in Power and Authority over the Kingdoms of Darkness,…

…Look!…Open your eyes and See,..For this is a strategic and critical hour for the Nations,..the Bowls are full and the Scales of Justice and Righteousness are now at a divine tipping point,…and though your enemies are already rejoicing in great anticipation of their many Victories,..

…Know this,…if you will lay hold of the Horns of the Altar in unrelenting and steadfast prayers of Repentance and Thanksgiving,..the plans and purposes of the enemy will be thwarted and overturned,..for have I not said,…that the Weapons of your Warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of every stronghold…

…Beloved,..I have invested in you,..All the Power and Authority of Heaven and earth,..and all that is under the earth,…Therefore,…I SAY,..ARISE,..IT’S TIME TO LAY CLAIM,…ENTER IN AND TAKE IT,..THERE IS NO TIME TO WAIT,…

…So Shake off Passivity, Intimidation and Fear,..and do even as your enemies have done,..and boldly begin to anticipate and even declare with a loud voice the Great Victory that is to come,…

…I say,…Put on the Garments of Praise and Celebrate,…Did not the Walls of Jericho fall when they marched as One and when the Sound of the Trumpets were released into the Atmosphere,…

…Did not the Moabites, and Ammonites turn on one another killing each other while the Army of Jehoshaphat went out onto the battlefield dancing, singing and giving Praise to My Name saying,…”Thank the Lord,..because his love continues forever.”…

..and Did Jehoshaphat not gather up the spoils of his enemies for three days after they were annihilated by My hand,…

…and Did I not throw the Egyptian army into confusion,…jamming the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving through the desert sands,…

…Ha!…and Did not the Waters of the Sea then swallow them up and they were seen no more,…

…Oh My Beloved,..For surely I Tell you again that those who Call Upon the Name that is above Every other Name,..shall be answered BY FIRE,…Yes! The Fires of My Glory shall fall and Consume ALL THAT IS DEFILED AND UNHOLY in My sight”…!

                            🔥🙏🔥🙏🔥🙏

….PS….Friends,…Holy Spirit is reminding us not to let the noise of war drums drown out His still small voice….

…In times of turmoil and fear, it is crucial to incline our ears to the frequency of Heaven, allowing the vibrations of God’s glory and power to re-synchronize and re-energize our inner-most beings…

…Through this, we can transition from a place of fear and turmoil to a position of great Victory and triumph over our enemies….

God calls us in this hour “to come up higher and stay seated in heavenly places”.

…This invitation is not just a metaphorical concept,…NO!….but it is a powerful reality in the spiritual realm. As Kings and High priests, God has given us the authority to rule and reign over the kingdoms of darkness.

…We are not meant to be defeated by our enemies, but rather we are to Arise to exercise power and authority over them….

The Spirit is directing our attention to the critical hour for the Nations. The bowls are full, and the scales of justice and righteousness are at a divine tipping point….

…While our enemies may rejoice in anticipation of their victories, we must remember that our prayers of repentance and thanksgiving have the power to thwart and overturn their plans.

…The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to pull down strongholds…

Beloved, God has invested and entrusted in us ALL the power and authority of Heaven and earth….We are called to Arise and claim what is rightfully ours.

…There is no time to wait or be passive. We must shake off intimidation and fear, and boldly anticipate and declare the great victory that is to come.

Like the walls of Jericho that fell when the people marched as one and the sound of the trumpets filled the atmosphere, we too can see strongholds crumble as we put on the garments of praise and celebrate.

…Just as the Moabites and Ammonites turned on each other while Jehoshaphat’s army praised God, our enemies can be thrown into confusion as we worship and give thanks to the Lord.

For those who call upon the name of the Lord, the fires of His glory shall fall and consume all that is defiled and unholy. This is the promise that awaits those who trust in God and stand firm in their authority.

…Today we are reminded of the urgency to listen to God’s voice amidst the chaos and to embrace the power of His voice and authority….In doing so, we can transition from a place of fear to a place of GREAT VICTORY….!!

4-D ‘triangulation’ and THREE triples apply in progression of prophecies

Digital Globe by Cooldesign, courtesy of Freedigitalphotos.net

In addition to ‘invisible jigsaw pieces‘ and ‘God-incidents‘, in December 2016 I began to notice the ‘coincidental’ timing of similar, or closely akin, prophetical words and visions being received almost simultaneously in different parts of the world, as first told here.

Thus began a series of what I term God’s GPS, or ‘Global Prophecy Signals’, of which I’ve since published nearly 100 examples consisting of at least two-parts (Sept 2023),  all of which can be read under this tag > Gods-GPS.

Fourteen days ago, Thursday 28th September, I’d intended diverting away from my usual full blogging day to get on with the extensive task of setting up a new PC – BUT then along came a few items I just had to blog.

THEN at the day’s end the Lord dropped into my mind and spirit an insight on a NEW form of GPS!!

’28’ PROPHETIC TRIANGULATION

1 > It had been dormant a couple of weeks but I got poked to publish something on Putin simply because his very words almost echoed my prophetic musings that began 7 years ago about the Lord exposing political rot and corruption.  Hence, I posted PPU #85.

2 > Then in catching up with news and posting onto Richard’s Watch Telegram I spotted Congresswoman MJT’s description of ‘The brand is China Joe’ and it spoke straight into Veronika West’s ‘strange dream’ in May 2021 of two presidents as porcelain dolls!  So I posted PPU #86 re Joe Biden ‘Made in China’ with this into: ‘Note double occurrence of our own house number 28 and today’s date’.

3 > ALSO, there was news about Donald Trump writing “And in this second term – which is sort of happening now…” (emphasis mine). So, I posted PPU #87 ‘Hand-made for America’.

After having published that triplet on a triplet of world leaders and prophecy, I checked how long ago Veronika’s dream had been published > 28 months ago!

AHAHH there’s something going on here… A THIRD TRIPLET, but this one involves the number 28 thrice!

  1. Period of 28 months since first publication
  2. Date of recognition of prophecy coming to pass
  3. Location of subsequent publication as three postings.

SO, we have not only our normal three dimensions of space (breadth, height, length) but also the fourth one of time!

ANOTHER ’28’ TRIPLET!

A week later number 28 popped up again, but this time in connection with prayers for the Jewish people per Isaiah 62, as taught during the final evening, 6th October (eve of barbaric terrorist attacks), of the Feast of Tabernacles as celebrated and broadcast globally by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem – Hence, satanic reaction!

The speaker remains anonymous in view of their work across the Middle-East but they told about the exceptional International House of Prayer’s 21 days’ intercession closing on Shavuot/Passover > 28th May. Moreover, it had been prophesied 40 years ago that numbers of intercessors from non-Christian backgrounds would be 100,000,000, and that was exceeded!

AND he spoke about the history of IHOP and its property and mission which involved TWO MORE instances of 28, this time on my dear wife Nina’s birthday 28th January but 50 years apart, 1958 and 2008. These were the dates in which specific farmland changed hands. First, to a leading Jewish family and then a donor to IHOP bought it on their behalf 50 years later to the exact day. 

Thus once again, TRIPLE associated occurrences of 28 as a date in the calendar. 

MY oh my, what a wonderfully awesome Lord God and heavenly Father we have!

Reminder: 2017 prophecy of tsunami of God’s Glory, Isaiah 17 – Veronika West

Last night Veronika was reminded of a prophetic word received in the seventh month of 2017 and therefore posted on Facebook as above: “Tonight the Holy Spirit quickened this word to me,..and highlighted Isaiah 17…to me again…; THIS IS PROPHETICALLY SIGNIFICANT in this hour… KEEP WATCHING AND PRAYING; 

ISAIAH 17…; DAMASCUS..!

Here’s what she published on His Kingdom Prophecy

A MIGHTY TSUNAMI OF MY GLORY!

“Tell My people to brace for there is coming a mighty tsunami wave of My Glory and Grace that will shake, shift and sift the nations of the earth!”

Last night I had a powerful dream where I was caught up in the Spirit realm.  In the dream I seemed to be standing between the earthly realm and the heavenly realm, when out of the heavens came a loud voice saying“Tell My people to brace for there is coming a mighty tsunami wave of My Glory and Grace that will shake, shift and sift the nations of the earth.”

As I heard these words, suddenly a strong rushing wind began to blow around about me and then I saw a mighty tsunami wave of liquid gold coming out of the heavens and breaking forth upon the earth.

As I stayed watching in the dream, suddenly I saw a multitude of angels dressed in garments of pure white light, swiftly descending upon the earth.  As I drew a little closer, I saw that the angels carried swords in one hand and sickles in the other.

Then I heard these words, Watch!  For now a mighty tsunami wave of My Glory and Grace now breaks forth upon the nations of the earth.

Watch!  For angels of the harvest are now gathering and scattering, gathering and scattering, gathering and scattering”!

Suddenly the dream shifted and I found myself standing upon the earth, and again just as before a strong rushing wind began to blow round about me.  Then I heard a voice speak from heaven saying, “The nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters, but I the LORD will rebuke them and they will flee far away and be chased like chaff in the mountains before the wind, or like whirling dust before a gale.”

At that very moment I woke up suddenly, and I was praying fervently in the Spirit when the Holy Spirit spoke to me saying, “Now is the time, watch!  For the whirlwind of My Spirit comes to sift and shift the nations of the earth.”

Immediately the spirit quickened to me Isaiah 17, which says,

“”Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city and will become a fallen ruin.  The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they will be for flocks to lie down in, and there will be no one to frighten them. The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,and sovereignty from Damascus.  And the remnant of Aram; they will be like the glory of the sons of Israel,” declares the LORD of hosts.
“Now in that day the glory of Jacob will fade, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.  It will be even like the reaper gathering the standing grain, as his arm harvests the ears, or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain. In the valley of Rephaim, yet gleanings will be left in it like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives on the topmost bough, four or five on the branches of a fruitful tree,” declares the LORD, the God of Israel.
In that day man will have regard for his maker.  And his eyes will look to the holy one of Israel.  He will not have regard for the altars, the work of his hands, nor will he look to that which his fingers have made, even the Asherim and incense stands.
In that day their strong cities will be like forsaken places in the forest, or like branches which they abandoned before the sons of Israel; and the land will be a desolation.  For you have forgotten the God of your salvation.  And have not remembered the rock of your refuge.  Therefore you plant delightful plants.  And set them with vine slips of a strange God.
In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in, and in the morning you bring your seed to blossom; but the harvest will be a heap. In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.
Alas, the uproar of many peoples who roar like the roaring of the seas, and the rumbling of nations who rush on like the rumbling of mighty waters!  The nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters, but he will rebuke them and they will flee far away, and be chased like chaff in the mountains before the wind, or like whirling dust before a gale.  At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning they are no more.  Such will be the portion of those who plunder us.  And the lot of those who pillage us,”
   Isaiah 17:1-14.

Note:

As I was praying concerning the dream, I shifted to where I found myself suddenly standing upon the earth.  The Holy Spirit showed me a mighty tsunami wave that is coming too in the natural realm.

It will come as “suddenly and as swiftly and as unexpectedly as the tsunami of His Glory and Grace”

Furthermore, I believe that it is no coincidence that Isaiah 17 should be quickened to me in the year 2017.

Let us continue to pray always for Israel.

Blessings to you all.

The Endgame is now in play

Is this 2nd pivotal point for humanity vs. satan?

1st PIVOTAL POINT

The cruel crucifixion of Jesus the Jewish (not Palestinian) Messiah and tortuous death, yet followed by His awesome resurrection back to full physical life – and weeks later His visible ascension into the heavens – are recognised as The Turning Point in the history of humanity.

Why? Because Jesus took upon Himself everybody’s sins, washing us clean by the shedding of His sinless blood in a personal sacrifice in order that we may be forgiven by heavenly Father, and thus be granted access into His throne-room.

Such is the privileged position freely granted to those who are born-again by the Holy Spirit and recognise Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

2nd PIVOTAL POINT?

“Day of Reckoning, Recompense and Rejoicing” for nations and leaders – Dr Patricia Show

This popped up on my phone yesterday afternoon as I was about to take a tea-break. So I was able to play the video, which is longer than usual for Dr Patricia:

However, now in prepping I notice a triple 2 (222) in the tab, as above. This number’s appeared previously in connection with my birthday number as a kind of ‘double 22’, if regarded as overlapping 22 and 22. Yes, it may seem rather far-fetched but I often go with how I get ‘nudged’!

Timely reminder: A Spiritual Showdown, “Let My people go!” – Veronika West

[Finished drafting @16:59, publishing @ 17:00 – queue-time!]  Veronika has today republished the word featured below and which I’d incorporated into the original of this post in view of the following relevant content: The Lord’s not putting Donald J Trump out to grass –  other than on the Tee (hee-hee!)  

‘When I saw yesterday the numbers of Nina and my birth years in TGP headlines and why they’d appeared, I laughed aloud…(especially as, whilst out with a friend, Nina had an awesome open vision in December ’20 of Donald and Melania Trump within a glory-light on a very high  balcony, like at the White House):

Last week (2022) some were sensing something about to happen soon, as well as in my blogs last week. Therefore, above headline is so well-timed to coincide with The Elijah List’s transcription of Steve Schulz’s interview with Veronika on 18th January.’

A SPIRITUAL SHOWDOWN – “LET MY PEOPLE GO!” 

Our sister in the Lord writes,

“On Saturday, January 15, I was driving home in the car when suddenly the Lord showed me Donald J. Trump and then spoke to me, saying“For he will be as slippery as an eel and the enemy shall not lay hold of him.”

Prophets and God – Chris G Bennett

“SO THIS IS WHY I had to stop unscheduled chore and login” (to Facebook about 10:10 I thus commented on this just-published post). “Bless and thank You Lord”:

PROPHETS  AND GOD

The watchmen are on the walls. Eagles are soaring overhead.

“Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?” (Amos 3:7-8)

I just got this overwhelming sense of God’s presence and, as I wondered about it, He showed me Nehemiah and his men on the walls – weapons in one hand, tools in the other, and still others just standing and scanning the horizon. Then I saw the eagles!

“Now, who will you trust? Your politicians, or My prophets?” “But Lord, your prophets are men, like me, fallible!” “That’s why I say in My Word that all prophecy is subject to the prophets and needs to be confirmed by them, independently.”

With that, He took me high into the heavens, where I could see the whole world spread out before me as on a giant map. An angel stood beside me, “Look there in England!” he said – and England came right up close as we zoomed in on a prayer meeting somewhere. I could hear the prayers being offered in that place! “Now look over there in Argentina!”, he continued. Once again I seemed to zoom in on another prayer meeting, this time in Argentina. Once again, I could hear the prayers being sent up but I could also understand them too! “This is what the Lord means by ‘soaring like an eagle’. This is what He means when he says He will reveal these things to His prophets.”

Then I was before a door! The angel spoke again. “This is where you go when the Lord speaks to you about His secrets, His plans. This is your ‘inner room’, your secret place, where you meet with God!

I sensed a great peace in that place and recognised what the angel was talking about as truth.

“Go tell your brothers and sisters that all is well, that the Lord’s prophets are on the walls and are soaring like eagles – ever watching and listening, for the Lord never stops speaking to His prophets. When two or three agree on a prophecy, it will come to pass – but not necessarily immediately. The Lord is always in control!”

The angel disappeared and I returned to my chair, at home in Rotherham, England. All seemed well, I was at peace.

CGB September a while back

September ’23 update

The season ahead of us all looks to be a rocky road – many challenges, many pot-holes to fall down. Like Nehemiah before us, we need to stay wide awake, alert to every danger and every approaching enemy. We are preparing, with the Lord, for the enemy to throw everything he has at us – but we hold before us Philippians 4:13, “And the Lord my God shall supply ALL your need according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus!”

Get into your ‘secret place’ often. Listen to whatever the Lord is revealing to you. Then encourage your brothers and sisters in Christ. Renewal and revival are on our doorstep. When the door opens – step through with confidence and with great joy, for that joy is, and will continue to be, our strength!

Hallelujah \o/

15 years-old ‘lost’ Kim Clement prophecy of two-term, anointed “No more war!” President

I hope and pray you may be able to watch this brief video as YouTube is blocking it intermittently from this pc (maybe as it’s still Win7 – am today prepping Win11 pc):

‘8 Nov 2022 #houseofdestiny #kimclement #trump  Donnè has found a lost prophecy that her father, Kim Clement, gave in 2007 about President Trump having two terms.’

Is anybody excited about this?! That same man, that same man, says the Spirit of God, shall put his feet onto this platform, and God says, they will say how did this take place? Laws shall change. Young men and young women shall have access into the kingdom, and with authority into politics, and with authority into the industries that now have beencontrolled by Darkness because of this man that shall rule for another two terms.
For two terms, God said. Do not fear for the Lord says there will be no unnecessary, unnecessary stuff. But there will be things that men shall question. Fear not for you shall sit in that seat, and suddenly My Spirit shall come upon him and baptize him with a fire and with anointing, says the Spirit of the Lord.”

Come on! Come on! No more war! No no more War! No more war! No more war!! No more war!![Applause] [Music]

[Applause]
Time for war has gone
Time War has gone
Peace shall reign the streets, as they have,
not like before [Music] time for was has gone
Time for peace has come, and I will walk in your streets again,
[Music] and the house they call White
shall receive a man [Music]who stood in your night
and the house that you call White, shall receive a man, a knight.
(Music)
Fought for you, in your night
[Music]
[Music]

‘Trump and The Kingdom’ series confirmed by Pastors For Trump

Awoken by the Holy Spirit, “URGENT IS THIS DAY!”

On 7.9.23 ‘CA’ emailed me about his calling as an intercessor, extracts from which read as follows:

“Dear Brother, greetings from across the pond…(I want to) encourage your dear wife, especially when the message she received from the Lord is so intense…

URGENT ALERT: Holy Spirit instructs, “Stand firm in the Lord” in coming days!

This could be a long message and must not, so for brevity’s sake I write to confirm Nina’s prophetic word/warning. I was handed an intercessory assignment from the Holy Spirit over a year ago, specifically for your….”

Today, on catching-up I find this from Pennsylvania…

EARLY THIS MORNING (email at 09.27 British Summer Time)

‘Dear Richard,

I have just been awakened from sleep..The urgency conveyed by Holy Spirit to mine is unlike anything I’ve experienced before and I felt instructed to contact you and tell you about it, almost as it is being downloaded to me….

“Urgent! Urgent is this day! Today! This very day is the Day of Destiny for many nations as their rise and fall are determined in back rooms of gross darkness by utter degenerates devoid of compassion and totally in opposition to My Son!

Fall! Fall before Me on behalf of the innocents, the babes, even the babbling fools who are duped yet cling to some straw of hope, for it may yet save them.

Today! Today is that Day spoken of in the Courts of Heaven, when evil will seem to get the upper hand. But I have set for My enemies a trap that will disgrace them:

  • Among themselves
  • Before their demon carriers
  • (Before) the Nations
  • (Before) the Angel armies
  • (Before) My SON into Whose pierced hands I have put all things.

I have told you…Today! Do not be caught by surprise. Look up ! Look to Me! Tune your ear to My Songs of War and Victory…and compassionate intercession.”

My own spirit has now gone from urgency to peaceful rest, brother. I’ve been obedient. I believe there is a turning point today and we have been warned. I pray a confirmation will be given. If not, i am content to be be foolish…and I know you know the drill as we say over here. Praying for your counsel or thoughts and with blessings to Nina and all your house, Richard,

From Pittsburgh, PA.’

SO PLEASE WEIGH & PRAY!

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 my testimony upon my 34th 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

The Bible’s Author opens it to answer my ‘newbie’ questions

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 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…

‘Coincidental’ knocking on my door, but which number?

As in two previous posts, thirty-four years ago I’d politely shut the door to further visits by a young church worker to discuss the Gospel. But a few hours later the Lord Jesus Christ in person crashed through the wall to get to me!

Unusually, yesterday wasn’t a full blogging day for I needed to finish outdoor renovation work. That last post had already been scheduled to appear, but just before it did I read the day’s verse:

Its closing command is timely regarding an on-going chat over eschatology, BUT then I noticed the verses’ reference echoes the home-address number of the location (212) of my life-changing dream!

No such thing as coincidence! This must be of the Lord – as though He’s knocking at my door!

Moreover, more was in store! Before starting the maintenance work I checked emails and found this sent Wednesday at 16:17hrs from Tim Shey in Idaho…(emphases mine):

‘Richard:  
You are always talking about the number 22 and how it is significant in your life.  In this interview with Johnny Enlow, he talks about Isaiah 22:22:  “And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open” (1:26:00 – 1:26:35):

 

So I dashed off this reply yesterday, Thursday at 09:22 (I assure you, timestamp not contrived):

‘LOL – ALSO Tim, whilst copying last night’s post (from older version) I was struck with the reason why there’s been SO MANY double 22’s turning up lately:

Therein, I refer to the young evangelist having the same birthday as me: 22 Sept.  I realised THAT’s the original double 22 in my life’s journey and thus becomes on-going confirmation and stressing a special significance of items!’

Sometime soon I hope to carve out time to watch that video.  Meantime, you may be interested to read the next post as it gives an earlier validation of  ‘212‘….Testimonial continues >

34 years ago I awoke from a life-saving, life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ!!

Upon awaking on 14th September 1989, I was overjoyed to find I’m still alive after having had such a very close call with death in the night!

The previous evening I’d firmly shut the door to hearing any more about God’s Good News! But the night-time had been spent at my childhood home of 212 E___ Rd, Stockport, Cheshire, to undergo a life-changing event. [PS. Number is emphasised in view of God-incidence today! – click to read all about it.]

In a most unusual dream I went back in time and space. A dream so lucid that even four decades later it remains vividly etched within me. Here’s what happened, as copied from original with comments in italics, pls bear with close-type as too much formatting code to revise.:

A HEAVENLY VISITOR

‘I am in my childhood home and standing in front of the very tall casement window in one corner of the lounge. I look up into the inky, dark night sky outside.
‘A small flotilla of large, wingless aircraft drifts slowly across from left to right at high altitude and I groan, “Oh…not that flying saucer nonsense. I must be dreaming!”
‘I’m sceptical about the existence of UFO’s, but now another ‘fleet’ of some sort appears from the right and heads towards the first.
(The dream now changes gear by going up a level from the usual mix of mental material to that of absolute lucidity…)
‘The ‘light goes on’! In my ‘knower’, I realise the first fleet is demonic and the second is masses of angels under the command of Jesus Christ. (I did not believe in them, and regarded Jesus as one of many world teachers. Here, I see no individuals but inwardly know the situation.)
‘I think I’m about to watch an amazing heavenly battle…but…OH NO! Somehow, I now know Jesus has espied me far down below and is coming down directly towards me!
‘All I see is a distant bright light very rapidly getting brighter and larger as it drops down to my location, just like an airliner approaching a runway to land at night.
‘Instantly, I realise my life has been one of sin that contrasts starkly against Jesus’ own holiness. Right away I realise what’s claimed about the Judgement is true – but mine is about to happen right now!
Beyond any doubt whatsoever I suddenly realise my involvement in the occult was most definitely wrong. Consequently, I deserve the undesirable abode!
‘Groaning “My number’s up!” I inwardly tremble in fearful knowledge I’m about to die at any moment. An invisible trapdoor I’m standing on will drop me straight into Hell.
‘Utmost mortal terror strikes! I dive under the drop-leaf table by the wall to the left of the window so I can hide from Jesus. But he knows I’m hiding there and swoops down straight through the wall on the other side of the corner window. He’s standing in the room and right beside the table!
‘Cowering below the table with my back turned towards him, I glance over my shoulder and see him from the knees down, his body and face out of sight above the table.
‘Most unexpectedly, somehow I have the courage to reach my hand out backwards to grab at the hem of Jesus’ robe…
‘As I tug, the event goes into yet another level of revelation regarding my childhood…Then I awake! Thoroughly alert, further sleep eludes me!’

The dream reminds me of an evocative small picture that strongly impressed me when a child – the return of Jesus Christ:

Later I understand that my terror had been ‘the fear of God’ brought by Holy Spirit’s convicting me of my personal wrongdoing and, thus, preparing me to receive God’s grace – a totally undeserved favour!

Also, what happened after reaching for Jesus, and which I’ve yet to tell, proves He’s so closely acquainted with my intimate thoughts when a boy. The dream’s conclusion shows He’s going to topple those childish concepts and replace them with an absolutely sure knowledge of His true identity.

“The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love” (Psalm 111).

Mercifully, He plucked me from the domain of darkness to bring me into His own Kingdom and receive its blessings. I deserved none of that. Truly, Amazing Grace – how awesome and wonderful..!

As a result of the most remarkable dream I’d ever had, I was left with no choice but to seriously reconsider all my New Age and occult notions. Meditational and mystical exercises had resulted in my having some unusual, ‘psychic’ dreams, but none like this one.

The only one remotely similar was that of being in an ‘altered’ state of consciousness known as ‘nirvana’, or bliss, but where I’d been taken behind its alluring golden light. Sheer ecstasy turned to abject terror as the light I was in got swept aside like a curtain to reveal a hideous, devouring beast of utter blackness approaching me – far, far worse than any nightmare!

I wasn’t into drugs but was ignorant of the scripture ‘satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light‘ (2 Cor 11:14). Upon reading that verse years later, I realised its truth had been dramatically demonstrated to me as a non-Christian!

But in this new dream my terrifying fear had been overcome by Jesus Christ Himself and His wonderful mercy and love. He ‘arrested’ me in my sin only to rescue me from falling into the pit of Hell.

In this stunning night the Truth I’d been searching for since a teenager turned up in Person – thank You Lord. And lots more Truth was to come as I began to open the door to His Good News!

Moreover, this amazing encounter was yet to be validated on three occasions!!!

So, if you don’t yet know Jesus Christ and have a personal relationship with Him, you may wish to know more and consider this vital matter at Do You Know Jesus?

Testimonial continues >

34 years ago tonight I shut the door to the Good News, but in the night nearly died of fright!

‘Twas a fateful day written in my destiny – perhaps in heaven too?

On the evening of 13th September 1989 a young man, barely an adult, came to visit and chat – but I ended up discretely disagreeing!

I didn’t know a false gospel had lured me to the Devil’s Door around the time Peter was born 21 years earlier – thus half my age. However, I was to discover it wasn’t a normal door but a trapdoor about to be sprung – with me standing on it!!

In abject terror I groaned “My number’s up!” because I’d unexpectedly and suddenly come to the end of my life!

What’s more, I was absolutely terrified to realise hell really is below me and that I’d be heading down there – even though I didn’t believe in it! I was wrong – so badly, badly wrong!!

Being anti-Christian had been a grave mistake – but it was now far too late!  Yet I’m now able to tell this true story purely for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

How did I get there you may ask. And, how on earth did I get out of it? Continue reading
