Theological thoughts on salvation and apostasy.

Posted on by

Time to tackle the theological conundrum of ‘once saved, always saved’ versus ‘falling away’ from faith.

Mulling over first thing with the Lord on today’s blogging I thought about Sunday at 3Counties Vineyard on 1Corinthians 12 and Holy Spirit’s gifts. But upon booting up my phone a message arrived about ‘lost salvation’ as a possible topic for this Saturday’s Men’s Breakfast. (Last weekend was a theological trilogy on Holy Spirit; it comprised that teaching with ministry for the giftings plus Saturday’s double dose of Romans 8 at our breakfast and the Alpha course’s Holy Spirit Away-day.)

Reflecting upon that group’s message about covering a side-issue, once again I got dropped upon from ‘On High’ to write on it! – rather like last Thursday’s jigsaw pieces.

Moreover I was ‘nudged about it being a suitable follow-on to the previous post about major church leaders now implementing apostasy, to the consternation of many laity. (It’s been an ongoing issue ever since launching this blog – 66 posts thus far).

Therefore, I humbly submit the following for consideration:

STUDIOUS DISCUSSIONS

For thirty years men from various churches in Haslemere have enjoyed working our way through various books of the Bible and discussing its verses in depth. In view of Paul’s longest letter being the pinnacle of Christian doctrine, it’s taken us some months to arrive at Romans 8 on Life in the Holy Spirit .

‘There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who[a] do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be [b]carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the [c]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.’ (NKJV, Bible Gateway.com)

Last week, in passing, our study-leader referred to losing salvation. He and I cited Hebrews 6 but others objected and reminded us of the ‘once saved, always saved’ dictum.

This difference of opinion has cropped up a few times recently and this week’s leader undertook some research just in case the group decides to consider it. However, he concludes the wiser option is to adhere to our usual practice of examining the scripture under review.

Yet, how does a divergence of opinion emerge when most of us are well-grounded in The Word?

Furthermore, the ‘scripture confirms scripture’ principle means the whole Bible should be clearly understood; thereby leaving us of one accord!

SCRIPTURE CHECK

Here’s a small selection recommended by one of the group for consideration. Lead-in verses from the New International Version will give the cited verses some context:

John 10:28-29 > 25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[c]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”

Philippians 1:6 > 3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:38-39 > 31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[j]

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

FALLING AWAY FROM FAITH IN JESUS

Yet one must ask; if ‘once saved always saved’ is the correct understanding of the Word of God and faith in His Son Jesus Christ, then how come Holy Spirit foretells in 2 Thess 2:4 a specific ‘apostasia’ (literally, ‘from standing’ – Interlinear Greek), which translates as ‘falling away’?
3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God…
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.’

In the previous post I particularly stressed verse 11, which should generate a righteous fear of the Lord in everybody!

Also, Paul later instructed his disciple Timothy that “the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons…”

That means not at a contemporary time but at a ‘latter time’ well into the future. However, apostasy began in the first century after Jesus’ life on earth, as attested to or implied by the author of the Book of Hebrews – AND definitely by Jesus’ closest disciple, John.

So, consider carefully Hebrews 6. It opens by saying its addressees have received foundational teaching and so it’s now time to progress: “Therefore, let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity…”

Note well verse 5:

4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen[c]away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.’

We have tasted God and His Word and know Him to be good, and been given gracious giftings in the Holy Spirit – some even baptised in Him. BUT how many disciples today can operate fully in Holy Spirit’s power? Very, very few!

So the author of the treatise to the Hebrews must be referring to the miracles, signs and wonders of those apostles and disciples who were anointed in power, as described in The Acts of the Apostles. What’s more, that should have continued throughout Church history!

CONCLUSION

In view of the theological nature of this matter, this can be but my initial thoughts, submitted for what they may be worth.

I offer this as a way of indicating how two apparently contradictory understandings may be reconciled because they refer to different situations.

‘Once saved, always saved’ applies to all believers who do not fall into the error of apostasy or heretical belief. Some may even experience the supra-natural powers of the Age to Come,. Those who live in that category but subsequently disobey Jesus and scripture by following demonic doctrines and failing to repent and renounce satan, are the ones for whom salvation is withdrawn. Remember, we are to work out our own salvation in fear and trembling, according to Paul at Philippians 2:12.

Do not overlook what Jesus’ closest disciple writes about the apostates he knew or learned about:

1 John 2:19 > Warnings Against Denying the Son

18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.

Maybe John is referring to those who became teachers of Gnosticism, a documented historical heresy, and similar movements in those early centuries in Church history.

Also, Jesus foretells His honouring believers but disowning anyone who disowns Him [Greek ‘amesamenos’ – ‘one-disowning’], which is a deliberate act of disobedience, not one of simple unbelief:
8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God.10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.” (Luke 12 NIV)

Bible Update: ‘Great Apostasy’ of Pope and Anglican leaders

Posted on by

First, let’s remind ourselves what the Holy Spirit told Apostle Paul around 50 and 64 AD, as in his respective letters to the church in Thessalonica and to his disciple Timothy, as in New King James Version (courtesy BibleGateway.com, emphases mine):

2 Thess 2 > ‘Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of [a]Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the  [d]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only [e]He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.’

NB. Those closing verses should generate a righteous fear of the Lord in everybody!

1 Tim 4 > ‘Now the Spirit [a]expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron…’

The Lord says “It’s time to tidy MY House!” – Christopher Wickland

In preparing the next posting upon apostasy in church denominations I found this prophetic word unpublished in my drafts folder.  Maybe six weeks delay is of the Lord?  Once again, I’m blessed to cite Revd Christopher Wickland:

TIME TO TIDY MY HOUSE

Obadiah verse 12. ‘Do not see and gloat over your brother on the day of his misfortune. Do not exult over Judah’s ruin, nor brag on the day of her destruction.’

The Lord calls prophets into their full role – Chris G Bennett

Posted on by

A SIGNIFICANT CALL FROM THE LORD TO BE WEIGHED VERY CAREFULLY!  In being nudged to do something I wouldn’t normally do – opening Facebook on my phone just as we’re about to leave the house for a mid-morning meeting – AND seeing Chris had posted this 22 minutes earlier, definitely confirms it’s import. (That’s my birthday number and has occurred far too many times to be ordinary coincidence!)

He writes, as published in His Kingdom Prophecy: The ‘New’ Prophet’s Role

A NEW LOOK AT AN OLD TRUTH!

The Word of God says, very clearly, that He uses the prophetic to keep us informed as to His intention, His plans, and the results for us of ignoring His warning.

And It is also very clear that ‘he who has ears to hear’ what the Spirit wants him to hear, can do so.

“Surely The LORD God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” Amos 3:7

‘And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom”.’ 2 Kings 6:12

Without contradicting one iota of these Scriptures, I hear The LORD say that there is a “new role” that He has for His Prophets.

I feel that the use of quotation marks around that phrase is intentionally drawing attention to the fact that this “new role” is in reality a revival of prophetic practice that has not exactly disappeared but at least been hidden in recent times — oftentimes for decades or centuries.

‘Then The LORD stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and The LORD said to me,“Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.

“See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant”.’  Jeremiah 1:9-10

When was the last time you saw a prophet with such authority over nations, or when did you see a prophet “pluck up and break down, destroy and to overthrow, build and plant.”?

Certainly we see the prophets edifying and building people up; we see them prophesying good things and warnings.

However, rarely, if ever, do we see prophets pluck up and break down, destroy and overthrow, build and plant!

So here is what I hear The LORD saying to His Prophets today: “Now is the time for you to step into the destiny I have planned for you since before time.

Now is the time for you to realise exactly why you are where I have placed you — for such a time as this!

I AM offering you a mantle, a new role for this time, but I AM also giving you a choice to step into this new anointing or to decline it.

Almost a ‘New Passover’, if you will, in which I will pass over you in favour of those willing to step up to the mark.

Why am I giving you a choice? Because to accept is to place yourself into the front line of the battle — the battles today, tomorrow, and right up to the final day.

You will become targets of all the powers of darkness, and targets of both church and non-Church groups who will seek to bring you down for your ‘alarmist and warmongering speech’.

The choice is yours”, says The LORD.

“Choose you this day to be in My chosen End-time Prophetic Army, or to watch from the sidelines.

I will not understate the seriousness of choosing to stand and I will not hold it against you if you choose not to do so.

Come to Me and tell Me of your decision and I will honour it, whichever you decide.

Ask Me your questions and My Holy Spirit will answer you.

But only you can decide. It’s up to you!” says The LORD.

Personally, I am willing! How about you?

The 2nd corner-piece: A new wind, time to separate wheat and tares – Chris G Bennett

Posted on by

Further to three corner-pieces post’s reference to hearing in 2008 of the Bible “This is ALL about to be fulfilled”, I was ever so pleased to read what the Lord says about it this week to my friend in Rotherham (click image for link to Chris’ Facebook):

There is a New Wind about to start blowing — it is a New Wind of The Holy Spirit that will bring many new things into focus for us.

This “New Ruach” will blow away many things too, the main thing being the veils of deception that are prevailing in The Church today.

There will be a new clarity in our view of world and end-time events, and we will find ourselves saying, “Thank you for the revelation, but I wonder why we didn’t see that before?”

This new clarity will shake us and all our preconceived ideas of how The LORD is going to move in these coming days.

It will also cause our rooms and buildings to shake as we comprehend the mighty purposes of our God.

This new wind will blow away all our cobwebs that we have been clinging on to for so long. The Holy Spirit is coming as a Wind to bring us anointing, ministry gifts, prophecies, and much more.

Does not His Word say, “Behold, I am beginning a new thing. Do you not see it springing up?” (Isaiah 43:19)

This Wind is blowing the false away, as He brings this new clarity and anointing to bear in our everyday lives.

Prepare yourselves for this Wind to manifest these coming days and weeks. This is a literal Wind, and it will blow in your meetings whether large or small; whether two or three, or several hundred.

“I AM coming to you soon,” says The LORD.

“It is time to separate wheat and tares, and to anoint those prepared to carry the whirlwind of My presence into the world.

It is time to begin the new work I have for those committed to My Cause.

The Wind of My Spirit is coming to you today.”

Bible Update: is a ‘small’ yet HUGE event part of Psalm 83’s fulfillment?

A “Small” Event Actually Huge: Psalm 83:3–8 Being Fulfilled Now?

My prime focus in covering Israel’s self-defence is news of Iran’s role. So I’m pleased that Mark Davidson’s assiduous research – upon which I’ve often re-blogged under the tag ‘4Signposts’ – is bearing further fruit on this particular aspect in his latest post.

So I recommend your reading his report by clicking the above image, and which opens as follows:

‘If one does not know the Four Signposts as written about in Daniel Revisited, one can mistake Mideast events that have little significance prophetically, as big events. And vice versa.

We witnessed this two weeks ago: a relatively small event on October 18 was mistaken by many as an event of huge significance.

One week later, we witnessed the inverse. On October 25, a relatively significant event was dismissed by many as minor. That event is the subject of this post…’

And note well part of his conclusion, emphasis mine:

‘Just as we saw a minor event recently blown up out of proportion by people, people miss things again by assigning a “ho-hum” to a meeting of some leaders in Beirut which is actually fulfilling Scripture.’

Ezekiel’s ‘Gog-Magog’ prophecy revisited – Chris Moyler

Posted on by

Upon forwarding Part 3 of Neil Mackereth’s article to my friend Chris Moyler’s Telegram, he takes time to make the following valuable response:

“Dear Richard,
Thank you for sharing Neil’s article. I don’t question his sincerity, but I do wish to strongly reject any notion that the Gog-Magog war of Ez 38 might soon be upon us.

To quote from Neil’s article:

“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.”

Re-reading Ez 36-39 this week, I am increasingly reminded of the powerful truth that Israel’s restoration is NOT primarily dependent on her faithfulness to the LORD!

Yes, the LORD has always kept for himself a righteous remnant within the Jewish people. Sometimes this remnant burns very bright. Sometimes the remnant is a flame so small it can be barely seen. But the LORD NEVER allows the flame of his firstborn don (sic) among the nations to be extinguished!

I am presently beginning to gather thoughts and scriptures around this important theme, but let us remind ourselves that Israel has survived numerous attempts to wipe her out.
These have all failed and they will CONTINUE to fail.

IMO, those of us who love biblical prophecy, and who love Israel, need to understand far more deeply the LORD’s profound commitment to her full and complete restoration.

For now, let us remember passages like Deut 3:19

“Now therefore write this song and teach it to the people of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the people of Israel.

The actual song is Deut 32. This song is all about Israel’s unfaithfulness contrasted with God’s faithfulness. It concludes with Deuteronomy 32:43

“Rejoice with him, O heavens;
bow down to him, all gods,
for he avenges the blood of his children
and takes vengeance on his adversaries.
He repays those who hate him
and cleanses his people’s land.”

Again and again, throughout the entire Bible, we see Israel’s unfaithfulness and weakness and yet the LORD ALWAYS comes through for her. His covenants within her can NEVER be broken, they are eternal.

Therefore we read these promises: Continue reading →

Ezekiel’s ‘Gog-Magog’ prophecy revisited – ‘Stop Press!’ on Part 3!

Posted on by
Reply

Neil Mackereth’s Part 3 of The Existential Threat to Israel must be so powerful it caused my printer to jam and stop working… a real STOP PRESS!!  After working at a desktop screen it’s always easier to read hard-copies of long articles, and so upon its receipt I wanted to peruse Neil’s latest at leisure over an afternoon ‘cuppa’ – BUT LOOK, it’s too powerful to print!

My printer seized up! The previous sheet had emerged with bent corner, but Neil’s item got solidly jammed – and ripped on both sides. Once cleared, it works normally!!!

In the mid-1980s I knew hardly anything about Bible prophecy when presented with two  jigsaw-pieces, a book and TV documentary. What I saw directly related to what Ezekiel heard from the Lord prophesying an attack upon Israel led by ‘Gog’ and ‘Magog’.  Since beginning to write upon End-times 15 years ago, I’ve posted news occasionally on the Gog-Magog alliance but over double on events relating to Iran.

Upon the 7th October Atrocity of utter demonic depravity I suspected Iran’s supportive direction if not direct involvement, which is becoming apparent not only through attacks by its hezbollah and houthi proxies but also by public announcements. So I posted The very first two jigsaw-pieces of my ‘Invisible Jigsaw’, Israel and Iran, citing its president. Around that time prophet Tomi Arayomi brings the Lord’s confirmation that “hamas is Iran’s patsy”!

AND it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Iran is directing attacks on those other two fronts before Israel has to decisively remove hezbollah’s rockets throughout Lebanon.

As a retired high-ranking army officer Neil Mackereth considers Israel’s options to deal with and defend itself from such heinous evil and possible outcomes.  Thus, along with latest news he tentatively considers the Gog-Magog prophecy and concludes:

“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!”

Bear that in mind for the next post wherein we consider another friend’s response.

IRAN’S INVOLVEMENT

Now, however, look at more pointers to Iran’s active role as Gog-Magog principal nation along with ‘Gog’ Russia in the present-day, not necessarily precisely as prophesied by Ezekiel – in reverse chronological order:

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

Posted on by
Reply

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.

RB: In his frequent on-the-ground updates Amir Tsarfati gives this informative link to a virtual Mapping the October 7th Massacres

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)

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

Posted on by
5

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…”

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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?

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.”

Posted on Veronika West’s Facebook 19th September

Simple Ramblings from the Secret place; “YOU ARE THE WAY….IN THE WAITING”..

….I Prophesy,….”IN THE WAITING HE IS ALIGNING AND EMPOWERING YOU FOR GREATER ACCURACY,…PRECISION AND PENETRATING POWER”…!!

…Let’s keep in mind God is never in a hurry,..the race is not to the swift but to those that WAIT UPON THE LORD,…

…Waiting upon the Lord is not an INACTIVE thing, but it’s ACTIVELY LEANING,…AND PATIENTLY WAITING FOR CORRECT ALIGNMENT,..PRECISION AND ACCURACY IN THE TIME OF RELEASE…

…LIKE THE MOMENT WHEN THE ARROW IS PULLED BACK IN THE STRING OF THE BOW AND THE SKILLFUL ARCHER TAKES A DEEP BREATH TO ENSURE HIS EYES AND THE ARROW IS ACCURATELY AND FIRMLY FIXED ON THE BULLSEYE,…

…SO THAT WHEN THE MOMENT OF RELEASE COMES THE ARROWS GOES FORTH WITH PIN POINT PRECISION AND ACCURACY AND PENETRATING POWER AGAINST THE ENEMY.
