Dark Days and The Light Of The World – Chris G Bennett

On Friday Chris G Bennett published this absolutely ACE on his Facebook, which not surprisingly attracted a couple of dozen comments:

DARK DAYS & THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

There are some dark days ahead of us. Once again it seems that Satan really believes he can beat Jesus Christ down. He did the same at Calvary, where to all intents and purposes, he appeared to have defeated to Son of God by having Him killed on the Roman cross. But, three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, collected the keys to death, hell, and the grave from a very surprised Satan, and ascended to sit at the Father’s right hand – exactly as prophesied in scripture for centuries beforehand.

So what does Satan expect this time around?

Much biblical prophecy points to these days – “wars, rumours of wars”, “nations and leaders raising themselves up – way beyond their capabilities”, earthquakes, fires, storms! Everything pointing to mayhem and Satan having a ball at our expense. Yet, as with the original scenario, prophecy points to a very different outcome!

Prophecy, biblical and 21st century, points to a ‘Great Falling Away’! Is this not happening? Have not great swathes of the church followed their own teaching rather than God’s? Is there not a great watering down of Christ’s gospel message – no heaven, no hell, no repentance, no death to self, no humility, etc etc? Has the church not virtually extinguished the ‘Light of the World’. And has its salt not become bland and tasteless? Nearly every prophet worth the name has spoken into this.

But also, nearly every prophet worth the name has also spoken of the final harvest, the great gathering in, otherwise known as end-time revival. Prophecy, both biblical and 21st century, is full of signs, wonders, miracles, and ‘greater things’ that Jesus spoke of, alongside a great harvest of souls yet to come to salvation. Just as it did two thousand years ago, history will record that Satan once again tried and failed to oust the Son of God from His position as the Light of the World.

As I said, there are some very dark days ahead. I believe we will go right to the very edge of war and Satan will even appear to have won. BUT – God will turn things around. Satan will walk right into the Lord’s hands, as God turns everything round. There will be a great revival, there will be great persecution against Christians, there will be a huge upheaval in politics – particularly in America and Europe. The ‘swamp’ will be drained – Trump will be justified and returned to his rightful place – China, Russia, North Korea, and other aggressors will once again back off from their sabre-rattling stance. In fact, I believe Russia and America will become allies – albeit a little wary of each other – and a new respect will be established between them. I also believe the CCP will suddenly dissipate into a much less powerful and aggressive state.

Yes, dark days are coming, but the Light of the World has yet to have His say on everything. And the Rapture? Who knows other than the Father Himself – even Jesus said He doesn’t know. As the Word of God says, so many times, “FEAR NOT” for God is still in control and everything is safe in His hands! Glory to God and Hallelujah \o/

What is the Book of Revelation for? Part 2 – Neil Mackereth

WHAT IS THE BOOK OF REVELATION FOR?  – Part 2: THE LETTERS

In the Introductory article (Part 1 of this series) I made no mention of the 1st chapter of Revelation. So, for completeness and before proceeding further, I attach (at annex A below) a review of the 1st chapter, as a necessary lead-in to the examination of the letters in Chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation.

The letters to the 7 churches contain comments that can only be understood by referring to the prophetic chapters that follow them. My assessment will seek to link the most significant observations in each letter to the relevant clarification / expansion in the chapters that follow.

But first, some observations on the structure and common factors. They all start with an address to the angel of the particular church, followed by a different characteristic of Jesus for each. Five churches are complimented; two are not: Sardis and Laodicea. Five churches are reprimanded; two are not: Smyrna and Philadelphia. All are given advice, and all are encouraged to have an ear to “hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (note that we should listen to what is said to all the churches). Each church is told what “He who overcomes” will receive.

What do the letters promise “to him who overcomes”?

The overcomers of the Church of Ephesus are assured that they will eat from “the tree of life”. The clarification: “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.” (Rev 22:14). The overcomers of the martyr Church of Smyrna are promised the crown of life and that they “will not be hurt at all by the second death.”

What is the second death, and who will suffer it? The prophecy explains: “the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” (Rev 21:8). “Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.” (Rev 20:14).

The Church of Pergamum overcomers are promised hidden manna and a white stone with a new name written on it. There are no direct references in the subsequent chapters; however, hidden manna may well refer to “the bread of life”; “This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.” (John 6:35 & 50-51). The “white stone with a new name …” has been the subject of much speculation. There are references to a new name: “ … you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow” and “… to His servants He will give another name”  (Is 62:2 & Is 65:15) but the full meaning of the white stone reference has yet to be revealed.

To the Church of Thyatira: “to him who overcomes, and does My will to the end, I will give authority over the nations – He will rule them with an iron sceptre; he will dash them to pieces like pottery …. … I will also give him the morning star.” In the subsequent prophetic chapters, the shaking of the nations is portrayed. A woman clothed with the sun, and crowned with twelve stars gives birth to a son who will rule all nations with an iron sceptre (see Rev 12). The morning star is Jesus (Rev 22:16), who will “rises in your hearts” (2 Pe 1:19).

The Church of Sardis, which had a reputation for being alive but was dead, is told to wake up and strengthen what remains. There are no good comments; even so, a few overcomers will be dressed in white and will not have their names erased from the book of life. Later, at Rev 20, we see the book of life opened and at Rev 21, that only those named in the “Lamb’s book of life” will be able to enter the New Jerusalem.

The Church of Philadelphia, receives the encouraging promise that the overcomes will be made pillars in the temple of my God; and “I will write on him the name of my God, .… and I will also write on him my new name.” At the start of Rev 14 we read: “Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads” (see also Rev 22:4). Two other encouraging comments are: “I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut” and “I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth”. I have often heard the former used in prophetic words given to individuals, and the latter is sometimes used in support of the pre-tribulation rapture argument.

Lastly, the lukewarm Church of Laodicea, which boasts about its material wealth while not realising that in God’s eyes it is wretched and miserable and needs to repent. Even so, Jesus shows His long-suffering love: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock,” and to those who overcome: “I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.”

In Part 3, we will look at significant aspects in the chapters that follow the letters, some of which we have commented on above.

What is the Book of Revelation for? Part 1 – Neil Mackereth

Readers may recall my astonishment over The Great Rethink: Back to Basics, Bible Prophecy by dear Neil Mackereth published six weeks ago, comprising part of a totally unexpected triplet as the 3,600th posting on Richard’s Watch. Recently he sent me this most helpful paper, as follows:

Hi Richard, Do hope you and Nina are well.

Every week we seem to be facing yet more turmoil and danger as the world creeks and groans its way towards the final denouement. I feel urged to try my utmost to get people to take Revelation seriously! I embark on a number of papers to try to encourage more interest by demystifying that which can be demystified! But still recognising that some things await revelation as they unfold. I hope it will be helpful.

May the Lord continue to bless, encourage and guide your thoughts and actions. Neil

WHAT IS THE BOOK OF REVELATION FOR? – PART 1: AN INTRODUCTION

The prime purpose of the Book of Revelation is to give the Church all the information it needs to be victorious in the time of tribulation (which is very near) which precedes the second advent of Jesus. The Bible opens with creation and man’s fall; it ends with victory. In the early stages, Satan is triumphant; at the close Satan is conquered, and the redeemed are with Jesus.

In this and subsequent articles, my aim is to provide a basis for further study, in smallish chunks of understandable English. I do not attempt to address the diverse options, opinions and queries relating to different interpretations and understandings of features of the Book of Revelation, nor do I seek to change any of its content!

Scepticism and a burgeoning form of liberal humanism have taken a grip on western society. Bible truths have been reduced, at best, to the rank of eccentric opinion and harmless religious sentiment. At worst, those who live by biblical principles are seen as undermining social cohesion and in need of remedial training, or more draconian “corrective” measures. We Christians need to use every God given help at our disposal to confront this all-pervading evil. Biblical prophecy is a major weapon in our armoury; it shows clearly that God has always known the end from the beginning.  God Himself draws back the veil to enable us to see, and understand through His prophets, that His strong arm has been at work throughout history. Once our eyes are open to the truths of fulfilled prophecy, it becomes clear that what appear to be disconnected shakings, confusion, chaos and turmoil (historical, current or in scripture relating to the future) had, has, and always will have, purpose in God’s providential plan. We can be absolutely certain that the prophecies which relate to the future will be fulfilled.

Jesus said, “I have overcome the world.” He now sits at the right hand of God the Father, has “all power and authority”, and leads His Church, as “conqueror bent on conquest.” In His letters, sent through John to the Churches (His witnesses on earth), He promises that those who overcome will receive the wondrous rewards of the Kingdom of Heaven. In the prophetic vision chapters that follow the letters, we gain an understanding of what the conflicts, sufferings and challenges are going to be, in the time of tribulation that comes before the preordained (ultimate) victory for Jesus and His followers. This is the theme of the prophecy, and its object is a practical one. It is a gift to the Church militant from Christ triumphant. Because Jesus has overcome the world, we too can overcome the world. Faith in God, His Word, and the authenticity of biblical prophecy therein, will make us victorious: without it we have nothing. In other words, conquering visible enemies is achieved through faith in things invisible. The conflict is both physical and spiritual: the latter includes demonic led attacks through sorcery, the occult, the apostate church and false prophets.

For the last 2000 years Christians have suffered hatred, persecution, torture and murder; nevertheless, it is the Christians who are the real conquerors, and the ultimate victory is assured! “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.”

There are theologians and ministers, of various ranks and denominations, who dismiss Revelation as irrelevant. The opposite is true, it was written to encourage and strengthen Christians, to arm us for battle and to guide us to victory. It is NOT just some curious way of writing that belongs to a distant past, nor is it a myriad of strange images and visions that relate to events so far in the future that they can be ignored. Those who have not grasped its huge significance have missed the point. It is prophecy (and tells us so) straight from the Throne Room of God Almighty. The exhortations in chapter 1 and warnings in chapter 22 give clear indication of its unique status and huge importance to God. It may be difficult to interpret but it deserves close study: it is vital that any true follower of Christ does his or her utmost to grasp its importance and purpose.

In some studies of Revelation, the letters chapters are treated in isolation to the rest of the prophetic content of the book. To my mind that “compartmentalisation” is not helpful: each church has a message for us in relation to how we prepare to face the time of tribulation, and the relevance of the promises and warnings to those churches are explained in the subsequent chapters. I will expand on this in Part 2.

In Part 3, we will look at how the true Church is represented by the woman who is “clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head” who is forced to flee into the wilderness and remain hidden during the time of the antichrist’s dominance (Rev 12, 13).  And at the woman seated upon the beast, reigning over “peoples, multitudes, nations and languages” (Rev 17): the Harlot Babylon who represents the corrupt world power structure and economic system based on selfishness, lust and greed.

In Part 4, I will endeavour to pull the threads together and provide an aide memoir to encourage further study. My hope is that by looking at Revelation with a greater awareness of what is being portrayed by certain imagery and personifications it will become easier to read and understand.

Prophetic intercession request and Word of WARNING to UK about EU army – Veronika West

PROPHETIC WARNING FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM

So I need to release this Word of Warning for The United Kingdom.

The LORD gave me a very powerful Warning Dream a few days ago. I cannot share all the dream yet, as The LORD is still revealing many things concerning this Dream, but in the Dream I was shown what looked like a ‘Legal Contact’ and I was sitting in front of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

The Contract read; “European Army” and those words were written in bold.

Then suddenly I heard these Words, “Watch! Oh Great Britain, a Nation built on the foundation of The House of David.

I say, look and look again, for the demonic tentacles of The European Union will seek to take hold of you, to lure you into a Political Partnership!

Yes! With promises of greater protection and preservation over your sovereignty in the days ahead, by forming a close military alliance with an army of their own making.

So watch and pay close attention! For like a ravenous wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing they shall try to lead you, but if you follow in their footsteps, into the jaws of death and destruction you shall go!

So I say to you, pray and set up The Watchmen on The Walls of this great Nation!

Lift up your Sword and Shield, for it is time to draw a line in the sand. It is time to put a blood-bought boundary line around this Land.

Listen! For is that the bleating of sheep I hear, oh Great Britain, My Lion-heart Nation, cry out for Mercy and I shall deliver you from your vicious enemies that seek to steal your Birthright and Destiny.

Humble yourself, and Repent, for your Arrogance and Pride

Return to your Covenant Foundations, and I shall surely remember you this day.

Great Britain, rise up and take your place, for I have not given you the spirit of timidity, like that of a lamb, but I have anointed you with Love, and with The Power of The Roar of The Lion, and with a sound mind I have blessed you among The Nations!”

Blessings to you all.

Ukraine news validates a vision – Veronika West

After closing down for Thursday evening I didn’t realise that day’s news brought a validation of one of two prophetic words I’d provided a link to only three days earlier! My time on Monday was so tight I wasn’t able to re-publish them full but drew attention to Veronika’s reply to a question about Gog-Magog in Ezekiel 38. Then yesterday she posts this:

Click here to continue reading the above CBN report.

Here’s the original prophecy as published on His Kingdom Prophecy:

Early this morning, while praying for the on going conflict in The Nations, suddenly I saw in The Realm of The Spirit what I can only describe in earthly terms as a Weather-Vane, which was spinning with such great speed that it seemed to be standing still.

I could see something beginning to take place in the heavens that would greatly impact and influence Weather Patterns over The Nations of Europe in the coming days.

In the natural, I saw a strange and fast moving Weather Front suddenly forming, that was heading towards the nation of Ukraine and other bordering nations, and in The Realm of The Spirit, I saw flashes of lightning.

The sound of thunder violently shook the heavens and mighty rushing winds were blowing. Thick clouds began forming in The Realm of The Spirit over The Nations of Europe.

The Spiritual Atmosphere felt very heavy, and a strange sensation of humidity filled the air, as heat began to rise and increase.

The Spiritual Realm over The Nations of Europe felt heavily pregnant with the Sovereign Purposes and Pans of God.

Something was about to break. Something powerful was now being shifted and turned.

I could feel a type of Spiritual Turbulence taking place in the heavens, and like powerful birthing contractions, I could see what looked the very womb of heaven, moving and contracting over The Nations of the Earth.

Then suddenly, I saw a Portal opening up over The Nations of Europe, and a great Light broke forth, piercing a veil of deep darkness that covered the lands. Then came a sound of breaking, and then the sound of mighty Rushing Waters could be heard.

Then I heard these Words, ”Brace! Brace! Batten down the hatches, for Nations have entered into a time of birthing!

Watch! For a Divine Convergence Zone is now forming over a War-Zone. Yes! For a Divine Convergence brings forth a Supernatural Divergence, as Boundary Lines are being shifted and rearranged and battle-lines are being drawn.

For a synergy of the ages is now taking place over the nations! See! For generational cycles are being broken, as Nations are now coming full circle!

Watch and listen! Tick-tock…! Tick-tock…! I say, watch the Clock, for The Hands of Time are now moving within wheels… within wheels… within wheels…

For the sound of My Seven Spirits shall go forth to strike and to shake the heavens and bring to birth in the Earth a great Spiritual Awakening that shall Change, Transform and Reform the Nations.

For now, a new Kingdom Era is being made manifest in The Nations of the Earth!”

Blessings to you all.

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

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

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

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

Posted on by
7

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

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

A DIVINE CONVERGENCE ZONE OVER A WAR ZONE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Blessings to you all.

Gog-Magog Update: The Bear, the Dragon and the Beast from the East – Veronika West

Last night Veronika published what she’d earlier in the day heard from the Lord :

Click image to visit SeekGrowLove’s website

THE BEAR, THE BEAST FROM THE EAST AND THE DRAGON

In prayer this afternoon while seeking The LORD concerning The Nations, I heard The Spirit say,  “Watch and Pray, for did I not say that The Bear Nation has emerged from a time of political hibernation with a hunger for War and an appetite for greater territorial occupation and domination among The Nations?

Yes!  And did I not say that the Dragon Spirit would strike, and The Bear Nation would invade to take a rich and fertile land?

I say Beloved, Watch and Pray, and pay close attention, for in the days ahead the right hand of The Bear Nation shall shake hands with the right hand of the nation of Turkey and a powerful alliance will be created, and then the two shall come into agreement to form a threefold cord of allegiance with the Beast of The East with a desire to destroy the land flowing with milk and honey.

But I say, Nay!  Nay, for when their diabolical plan begins to unfold, a great unraveling will take place, and the demonic threefold cord shall surely be broken, and the strength and military power of The Bear Nation shall be brought to nought.

But!  Watch and Pray for surely I tell you, the eye of Leviathan is now upon the fruitful Vineyard, and the tail of The Dragon Spirit is thrashing in the realm of The Spirit, to stir up turmoil and trouble for The Nation of Taiwan.

But I say, keep Watch and Pray, and stay alert, for False Flags and the pointing of fingers will take place to bring a desired distraction from that which is now being fully exposed and uncovered in the realm of darkness.

For I tell you, this is the beginning of birthing pangs as greater and greater shakings and divine disruptions take place as Nation rises against Nation.

For in The Valley of Decision, goat and sheep nations are now being sifted and shifted, scattered and gathered up.

Look and see, for a Demonic Convergence is now taking place over Nations in the midst of birthing, as the spirit of the Antichrist rises to resist the advancement of My Righteous Remnant Army, as they build and establish My Kingdom Government in The Nations of the earth.

And watch!  As the spirits of deception and death masquerade as messengers of light, but come seeking to divide and conquer, dominate and occupy more and more territory, by striking fear and torment in the hearts.

Many who have become woke, weak and willing vessels, have fully submitted and surrendered themselves to an Antichrist Agenda and to a One World Order.

I say again — Watch and Pray.  For The Bear Nation shall bite down hard, and the tail of The Dragon Nation shall suddenly strike without warning in the coming days!”

Blessings to you all.

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

Posted on by
9

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Take note for Prayer:

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

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

Now that I’ve got around to gathering these items, I’m suddenly awe-struck by these God-incidental Global Prophecy Signals of 10th, 14th and 16th February:

Did you check the images of George Washington’s historic crossing of the Delaware river in my post of Monday 14th On cue: a coded clue to Trump’s trump cards. To examine the original of this image click > Was Trump right all along? John Durham doesn’t exist? [Trump Statement]

Thank you once again to Roger in South Africa for alerting me to and providing a full copy this prayer-report of Wednesday from Give Him 15, which follows on from Chris G Bennett’s vision reported on Thursday10th February:

“During the election battle, a team of 20 intercessors went to Coudersport, PA, to pray at the headwaters of the Allegheny River. This location was chosen based on a series of dreams given to different individuals. Pennsylvania was our nation’s birthplace, and we felt Holy Spirit was telling us that a new birth was coming to America. While there, Holy Spirit gave Clay Nash another significant dream in which George Washington was in a boat on the Allegheny River. Washington would, of course, also symbolize the birth of our nation. There were several meaningful details, not the least of which was him holding an Appeal To Heaven flag. But the flag had the added words, “No surrender.”

A lady present in the service that night told Clay that Washington was known to use a Durham boat. (Though disputed by some, many historians believe it is so. Read more about this here.) She then prophesied to Clay, “Watch for the Durham boat to land.” ”  Continue reading →

Is the House of Cards about to fall? — John Barber

Is the House of Cards about to fall? Is it just me or are things hotting up as far as happenings in the world goes and (on balance) which direction is it about to go, the good guys winning or the bad, the Great Reset or the Great Awakening or even the Great Deception?

In my recent “The Millennium and the Great Awakening”  blog, I wrote “The prospects of the house of cards, built up by the evil cabal and their minions, falling over soon seem good (to be discussed in another blog)” – and this is it! By “house of cards“, I had in mind things like the November 3rd 2020 US Election steal, the narrative being pushed on the world regarding the Corona scamdemic, the taking away of various freedoms hitherto taken for granted and, if I were to think about it, there is a whole raft of issues where the powers that be (an unholy trinity of government, media and society’s elite) would want to inflict their questionable agenda, and expect the rest of us to comply and even welcome it.  […] Is the House of Cards about to fall? — JRB Publications

Brave pastor to global predators and minions: ‘”Resign now, while you still can!” — Leo Hohmann

There’s a brilliant column posted over at The Liberty Daily by J.D. Rucker. Rucker writes about a man who lived under a communist dictatorship in the 1980s and watched the regime collapse under the pressure of raw people power. That man is Pastor Artur Pawlowski and the country was Poland. The pastor has since emigrated to Canada where he is again confronted by a burgeoning totalitarian system, one that asks to see your papers before you enter a restaurant, sporting arena or pub, one that tracks your spending and your movements about the country and attempts to limit that movement based on its arbitrary determination as to whether such travel is “safe.” It decides what is in the best interests of the “greater good” and anyone who disagrees is treated like a social outcast, a pariah who must be separated from the obedient herd.  […] Brave pastor to global predators and their minions: ‘Resign now, while you still can’ — LeoHohmann.com

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

JESUS’ JERUSALEM RETURN – CHRIS G BENNETT

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

I just saw Jesus returning from heaven to Jerusalem !

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

RB Footnote:
  • Am trying to write this morning whilst our semi-detached house has unexpectedly become temporarily ‘uninhabitable’ by the extremely loud noise and vibrations of pneumatic drilling outside our external wall into nearby solid concrete in adjacent neighbour’s property. It’s taken 4 hours but soon over, I hope! Not being able to do my usual online catch-up after a long weekend and preparing whatever’s in mind, I’m left ‘in limbo,’  BUT I believe the Lord dropped the above title into mind – even whilst being distracted by not having all I want as typing in the conservatory.
  • Thank and praise You again for Your leading Lord…I’d never thought of publishing this word this way because guest posts usually display the author’s name in the title. BUT I’ve been reminded of what the Lord’s been teaching us with examples on the principle of the three-fold elements in heavenly and earthly manifestations. That is, as an aspect of His will being done here as it is in heaven in order to manifest His Kingdom in earth.

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

Posted on by

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

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

THE  GREAT  RETHINK

INTRODUCTION

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

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

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

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

BACK TO BASICS

The Bible, at its opening, quickly moves from creation to satan’s success in instigating the fall of man. Then follows God’s sovereign selection of Abram (Abraham) and his descendants, to be His chosen people (Israel). Thereafter, we see the story of their triumphs, failures, trials and tribulations; and God’s endeavours to guide them through His elected prophets, culminating in the first advent of Jesus Christ.  The New Testament describes Jesus’ life and role as Redeemer King, His death, resurrection and ascension to heaven.  At the close of the Bible, Jesus returns and satan and His followers are overthrown.

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

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

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

RELATING TO JESUS’ FIRST ADVENT

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

 RECENTLY FULFILLED (or ongoing)

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

SPECIFIC TO ISRAEL

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

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

REVITALISED EVANGELISM

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

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

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

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

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

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

Posted on by

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

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

The Certainty of God’s Witness 

6 This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear witness [b]in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one. [NKJV]

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

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

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

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

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

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

And not forgetting Deuteronomy 19:15
