In this moving address, President Donald Trump shares the redemptive story of John, a former inmate who found faith in solitary confinement through the message of Jesus Christ. From incarceration to ministry, John’s journey reveals the transformative power of prayer, forgiveness, and divine purpose. With a touching nod to Billy Graham and the FBI agent who helped change his life, this story is a reminder that no one is beyond hope. 🙏🇺🇸

Holy Spirit discernment and angelic protection

Posted on by

Last Sunday’s teaching during a joint service with a local Ukrainian church and baptism of several brothers and sisters therein, was on the principle gift of discerning and thus listening to the Holy Spirit, as illustrated by Adam Harding Willis helpful ‘doodle notes’ (WonderStory):

I was reminded of having had a ‘One-on-one’ direct lesson nearly 35 years ago as a new believer. Driving home from my office in Reading I was recalling and being puzzled over another’s claim of hearing God address them by their name, and had to stop at traffic lights.
Looking at the terraced row of adjacent houses to my left I saw a teenager sitting on a low wall across the narrow pavement by my car. Next, his girlfriend came out of the house, sat alongside him and turned her face to speak intimately, out of public hearing.

Immediately, I had an insight and knew, “That’s just how I speak to you Richard” – and to each of us too. Then I got the greenlight to proceed on my journey – with a huge grin! LOL!

At Monday’s house group we were running late after extended prayers, but our leader heard the Lord impress him that we should practise these holy listening skills, as two of us said “Let’s do it then!”

A couple of days later after chatting over coffee with a friend about that teaching, as well as on five decades of the Iranian regime’s war against Israel and President Trump’s ‘Midnight Hammer’ destroying its nuclear bases, I was asked about what may follow.

So, on my way home yesterday I mulled over how that war may connect into what I heard in a dream in January 1992 about Islam whilst an angelic choir spiralling upwards sing non-stop…

Read all about it in Ask for the Nations – Psalm 2:8, noting this extract:

‘The BBC late evening news on 6th January 1992 announced that leaders in the Muslim community wanted to establish a Muslim parliament in Britain…:

In a dream that night I saw Western Europe, mainly France and the Mediterranean, as if from the space shuttle and heard the popular worship chorus ‘All Hail The Lamb’ being sung, as if in the atmosphere! This praise was repeated many times most melodiously, as though by angelic choir ,and seemed to spiral upwards. Then I heard a very loud, authoritative voice declare, “As Communism fell, so too will Islam fall”.

Then, back home yesterday and catching up online, I note this had been God-incidentally posted an hour earlier at 10:06 on Veronika West’s Facebook (published by His Kingdom Prophecy):

ANGELIC PARTNERSHIP IS HERE NOW!

Angelic Partnership is here, for Divine Protection, Preservation and Kingdom Occupation!

In a meeting yesterday, I was suddenly made aware of an Angel of The LORD standing behind the man whom I was talking with.

Now, Angels don’t necessarily like to be seen, but this Angel of The LORD made himself both seen and known to me by The Spirit of Revelation as I heard The Spirit say, ”The hour of Angelic Partnership is here!
Angels are now on assignment — to make way; to clear a pathway; to prepare a highway — for The Glory that is coming!
I say…. Angelic Partnership, for Divine Preservation and Protection that will be needed in the days to come.
Angelic Partnership for Divine Alignment and New Kingdom Era assignments.
Angelic Partnership for Kingdom Advancement and Occupation.
Angelic Partnership for the rebuilding of the broken down Altars of Awakening — and the uncapping of The Wells of Revival.
Angelic Partnership for accelerated promotion and Kingdom Expansion.
Angelic Partnership for the Healing and Restoration of nations.
Angelic Partnership for the release of Prophetic Words, Visions and Dreams!
Again I say, Angelic Partnership for the Destiny Seeds, sown in tears and labor.
Angelic Partnership to lift and shift the veil of darkness and deception that has covered the land and blinded the eyes of the people.
Angelic Partnership to break open Portals of Light that will bring forth greater Illumination, Revelation and an Understanding of the times and seasons!”
Suddenly I heard the sound of Angels’ wings rustling in the winds of The Seven Spirits.
The Heavenly Hosts are now on the move, creating and reconstructing, warring and conquering at the sound of The Remnant’s Decree!

Angel Armies — marching across The Nations of the earth. Tides are turning; Nations are shifting; Scales of Justice are tipping!

I heard these Words, ”This is an Angelic Invasion for Kingdom Occupation!”

I heard The Spirit say, ”Listen! For this is the hour of Angelic Partnership united with the Rod of Apostolic Authority and the Fire of Divine Prophetic Power for the dismantling and uprooting of demonic strongholds that have long kept Nations bound!
For this is a kairos time, the Seeds of Destiny and Promise that have laid dormant shall suddenly burst forth.
Watch! For Angelic Partnership in the midst of great shaking of Nations — Angels with sickles; Angels with swords; Angels of the Harvest; Angels of Judgement and Justice have been released!
Do not fear! The clash of kingdoms and the rise of the Ancients shall be heard — but The LORD of Hosts — LORD Sabaoth — shall arise and scatter His enemies.
Look! Greater are those who are with you, than those who come against you,ha! A multitude of Angels — ready to stand guard and to fight for you, to bring forth Victory in the midst of great turmoil.
Angelic Partnership — for where it seems impossible, impassable and impenetrable!
Angelic Partnership — to direct and help discern the times and seasons, to bridge the gaps and to expose every demonic trap.
Angels of Revival — Angels of Reformation — stand ready to co-labor with The Remnant, paving and forging a Highway, the way for a great Awakening and Harvest, where The Glory of The LORD will be revealed in Power and Might!
I say — this is a time of in-gathering of the secret and hidden Mysteries of Heaven, and supernatural intel for Kingdom Advancement and Occupation — for in this hour and this season, the Heavenly Realm is intersecting with the earthly realm, to bring to birth the plan and purpose of The King of kings in The Nations of the earth!”

I just heard The Spirit say, ”I laugh in the heavens, as NATO Nations gather, thinking that their combined earthly fire-power can hold back the tide of darkness that shall continue to rise — and the weight of My Glory that shall continue to fall!
Watch! For I shall break the back of rebellious and stiff necked Nations, whose who have bowed the knee, and who will take up the crown of the Beast! Yes! The Antichrist who shall begin to emerge in the coming days.
I shall not be mocked — nor shall I be silenced, for the Gavel of My Justice shall fall, as My Righteous Remnant rises!
Watch! For these NATO Nations shall surely be scattered, as The Whirlwind of My Seven Spirits comes to sift and to separate Goat and Sheep Nations!”

Blessings to you all.

Yesterday Iranian state tv posted a video threatening the use of a nuclear device and mid-morning today Veronika West writes on Facebook: which prompts the need for our prayers of protection for Britain, America and other nations against all underground terrorists:

‘…SERPENT SLEEPER CELLS EMERGING;

Morning Warriors…for three nights now,…I haven’t slept,…God will not give me Sleep,…; And talking of Sleep…

…I keep hearing,…”WATCH AND PRAY…Sleepers Cells across the Nations are now waking up”…..

…PLEASE SEE THIS PROPHETIC WORD I POSTED IN 2024…’

MAYDAY! Watch for May is a marked month! – Veronika West

Update: the Great Unravelling of UK government – Veronika West

Posted on by

Veronika West’s reaction to Friday’s news and reprise of prophetic word:

May God have Mercy on The United Kingdom! 

As The Remnant, we say, ”Not in Our Name!”

The LORD had me prophesy the “The Great Unravelling of the Current UK Government” at the Beginning of the Year!  (His Kingdom Prophecy – 20 Jan 2025)

On the 31st of December 2024 I was sitting with The LORD praying concerning many things, when I saw what looked like a stitch on a piece of fabric suddenly being pulled.

And as I looked again, I saw that the “fabric” was actually that of the British Flag, and I knew by The Spirit of Revelation, that what I was seeing and hearing was concerning The Nation of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

And as I looked and looked again, I saw the pulled thread begin to run, and very rapidly a great unravelling took place, and I watched until almost the entire piece of fabric had completely disappeared — and a heap of thread lay before me, in The Realm of The Spirit.

I then heard these words again ”Watch! For a Great Unravelling of this Current UK Government has surely begun!”

Now, as I stayed watching and listening, and as I remained in the place of Prayer, suddenly the Vision shifted and I saw women rising up in the midst of the unravelled threads — and I watched as they began to come together with what looked like Silver Needles and Gold Thread — and they began to weave a new tapestry with the unravelled threads.

As I looked at these woman, I saw that their faces were radiant and their minds fully determined.

Together in Unity of Heart and Vision, I watched as they skilfully intertwined every unravelled strand, their fingers moved under the power of God’s Grace and divine purpose.

As I stayed watching in this Open Vision, I saw that with each stitch it was as if a soft glow of light was being released which illuminated the darkness that had covered the unravelled and fragmented pieces!

In this Vision, there was such a powerful drawing and wooing by The Spirit — a Divine Invitation to “Come Up Higher!” and to be a witness to what was being planned and purposed in the Heart of God for the Nation(s).

Yes! There was a time of even Greater Shaking and a Supernatural Unravelling that was beginning to take place — but the Redemptive Heart of God was Moving and Shifting in the midst of great uncertainty, upheaval and exposure.

Now as I watched this incredible Vision unfold, I knew by The Spirit of Revelation that God was about to Raise Up a Radical Prayer and Worship Movement in the Nation that would bring to birth Signs, Wonders and Miracles that have never been seen before!

Yes! A Proud Nation would be humbled under the Hand of a Righteous and Holy God.

A Prodigal Nation would find itself standing naked and fully exposed before the eyes of the World.

But I saw that in the Time of Desperation and Humbling, a Prodigal Nation — blind to its own Rebellion and Wickedness — would come back to its senses and Turn and Return to the Heart of The Father!

I saw that the Silver Needle of His Word and the Golden Thread of His Spirit would be seen coming together over the Nation to bind together the Unravelled Remnants of a Nation into something far more beautiful than before — a Prodigal Nation will be Restored and Transformed!

In the Vision, I was shown that what would take place was no ordinary weaving — but a Sacred and Sovereign Act of Divine Restoration and Reformation.

And, In the midst of great Turmoil and Trouble — God will Raise up a Mighty Remnant Army — a Governing Ecclesia — who will begin to Legislate on behalf of Heaven in the Earth.

Then suddenly I heard these Words, ”Watch! As My Spirit moves upon My Esthers and Deborahs in a time of Great Unravelling, upon My Handmaidens in this hour of Restoration and Reformation of this Nation!

I say Watch! As My Hand moves strategically and with great power and precision to Raise Up and Shine a Spotlight upon Women across this Nation, at a time of great Political Upheaval and Chaos!

Watch! For many Women will become My Whistle-blowers and they shall blow the whistle and bring Divine Exposure and an Uncovering to the hidden corruption, blackmail and injustice in the Halls of Government and even in the Corridors of The Church!

I say Watch! As I Raise Up a new breed of Mighty Warrior Women once again in this Nation — and the Mantle of Jael shall come upon many, and they will drive a sharpened Tent Peg into the head of the enemy!”

A HUGE THANK YOU LORD!

After many “Wake Up!” calls on this blog over several years, together with increasing global calls recently from prophetical voices, this prophetic word from the Lord is now received by leading intercessors, as shown by this Emmaus Road church video and replayed at 3Counties Vineyard church on Pentecost Sunday.

Pete Greig is the ‘bewildered founder of the 24-7 Prayer movement, an award-winning author of nine books, and a co-host of the much-loved daily devotional Lectio365 used by 330,000 people’ [Bio here].

‘20,131 views Jun 2, 2025 – Statistics and news articles are confirming that the Lord is moving in our midst. Pete unpacks a powerful prophetic word calling us to wake up—to rise from spiritual slumber and respond to the Spirit’s urgent invitation for personal and corporate awakening.’

Here’s my edited extract (emphases mine) of the transcript with Pete’s introduction to prophecy and to Benjamin Downing’s recounting what he’d heard the Lord telling him:

“Whatever this quiet revival means I can tell you for a fact, it’s not starting out there somewhere; it’s got to start in here in me, in you, with a revival in our own relationships with Jesus. You want to catch the wave (so) make sure the quiet revival is happening in your own heart right now…

In Emmaus Road we seek to be a Christ-centred, mission-minded and spirit-led community and that means that we try to be open to the interruptions of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes he’s in the structures and the plans but sometimes you know he’s like
the wind, he’s like fire, he surprises us and that’s why this evening we are going to do things a little bit differently.
A few months ago a much loved member of this church Benjamin Downing came to me saying I think God has spoken to me and he had received a prophetic word that you’re going to hear in a moment. When he shared it with me all I can say is it felt weighty.
So, the majority of prophetic words are as the apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 14 they’re for the encouragement, the strengthening, the up-building of the church and you know they they bring some edification. That’s fantastic. But every now and then God speaks in a way that feels more than that; it feels substantial and directive and you know, you can tell that really by three things:
Firstly, the circumstances in which the word is received;
Secondly, the context into which it speaks and,
Thirdly, the confirmation that the word elicits, the circumstances in which uh the word is received.
You’re going to hear that it is really very supernatural how Benjamin received this.

The context: well I think as you hear, it will say “Yep that relates exactly to our current cultural moment and maybe things you’re experiencing in your own lives.”

And confirmation: I can tell you that since Benjamin shared this word uh with me a number of people have received similar, you know, prophetic senses from the Lord without consulting with each other.
And so that always makes me sit up and take notice. As elders we’ve talked and prayed and, “Yeah we really feel like God is saying this to the church.”
So this is a significant moment because we want to just kind of release this word into the church.
Benjamin’s going to share it then I’m going to wrap a little scripture around it and then we’re going to give an opportunity for those who’d like to do so to respond personally and for us to respond corporately as a church….”
[Benjamin]
“A few months ago I was woken by an audible voice which is not something that happens all the time – unless my wife’s waking me up, (who) on this occasion was 12,000 miles away…

So about 5:00 in the morning this audible voice said, “Wake up!” And so I was startled by because it was such a clear voice; so I jumped into my spiritual action and ran downstairs thinking “I’ve got to answer the door, it must be someone at the front door – no one’s there, it’s 5:00 in the morning, it’s it’s a Sunday.”… I go back to bed and think okay I’m just going to pray maybe that was not something of God.

So I just prayed and kind of rested in that and thought “I wonder what that was about?”

I came to church, which was logistics in itself, and during the service and those hours after, I realized that God was trying to say something specific about that ‘wake up’ for me. I then also walked forward after the service and Pete actually had the privilege of praying that as I wept and as I spoke out I just felt that God was challenging me.
As Pete says – he’s often really encouraging in my life –  but He’s, God’s challenging me to say “You’re sleepwalking through this life, you’re sleepwalking through it and you need to wake up! You’re waking up…you’re busy with life…with distractions… with purchasing stuff – all of these things. You need to wake up because every morning I’m sitting in your room and you’re walking past Me, you’re walking past Me. I want to be part of your life, want to speak in relationship with you and over those coming days and weeks.”
It was about 60 days in the end of just saying every time the urge to purchase something or get on the BBC news channel or whatever, it was just suppressing that and saying “Lord what is it you want to speak?” And he’s like, “I’ve got words for you I’ve got plans for you and you’re not listening.”
So in those times it was really really stark and yet he says “I just want your attention i just want you to change and so wake up!”  and actually the thing that’s done for me is actually just allow me to create time every day where I’m trying to slow it down, where I’m trying to be attentive not to the words of news or sport or whatever, but actually to my life and where God’s speaking, challenging at times about purity and holiness; but also just about this idea of don’t just fall back into ways and habits and normal things of life…”
[Applause – Pete] “Benjamin, I think the Holy Spirit is saying to many of us in this room as individuals and people who are watching online and I think He’s saying actually to this church at this time; “Wake up!” When someone hears the audible voice of God we should wake up, we should sit up and say, “Hang on what’s that about?” And I want to say to you very clearly, I don’t think that you know that God’s angry – this isn’t a rebuke. I think God is urgent – there’s that sense of “wake up, don’t miss this moment!”
So let’s turn to the scriptures together…”  Ephesians 5 (8mins time-stamp):

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead,  and Christ will shine on you.”

The next post continues with illustrated notes of the teaching points and links to over a dozen “Wake up!” postings during the past ten years…

God-incidence: Jonathan Cahn confirms Trump’s God-sent mission, plus…

Posted on by

Once again I’m stunned by the Lord dropping God-incidental jigsaw pieces whenever I get around to writing, even to the extent of changing what I’d intended blogging – as if He’s using a Global Prophecy Signals system [Digital Globe with Hand by Watcharakun, courtesy FreeDigitalPhotos.net].

In view of events over the ‘pond’ I was going to update relevant prophecies on Monday, however first I’d had in mind replying to uninformed comments on my Facebook, BUT instead got prompted to blog separately (previous post) in order to tell others of similar mind about what I’d learned about Donald Trump’s beliefs.

I wrote, “..some in the Lord need more information… and to seek Him direct about His ‘David’ and his God-sent mission…” (emphasis added).

Much later that day this powerful message from Messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn God-incidentally pops up on my phone, its title confirming my words:

228,686 views. Premiered on 9 Jun 2025 #jonathancahnlatest #jonathancahn #trump

‘Trump has just come out with it to do what no president has ever done – Declare himself to be on a mission from God! Is he? And if so, what exactly is his mission? Is there an ancient mystery that reveals it & what is yet to happen? Jonathan Cahn opens it up!’

Here’s a screenshot from Jonathan’s video of one of Trump’s memes and captured ‘47‘ minutes after publication by President 47 (and my birth-year):

Extract from auto-generated transcript at 16:16 time-stamp regarding the assassination attempt in Butler, PA:

“That was just days before he’s going to be
nominated, as if an enemy wanted him
out but the hand of God saved his life
by a fraction of a second and a fraction
of an inch so much so that the bullet
actually hit him but didn’t take him out!
It was only after that that Trump said
so publicly so soberly so passionately
God had saved his life for a purpose for
a mission for America.
That bullet grazed
his head but it did more than that it
changed him where he was convicted,
convinced more than ever in his life
that it wasn’t about what he had planned
to do but that there was a greater plan.
God had a calling and a mission for his
life more now than ever before or in
Trump one, the first administration
and at the beginning of this
administration this term recent not long
ago he said that his relationship with
God had changed now was changed after
the assassination attempts something
changed and that has everything to do
with the purpose and the calling and the
mission of God it didn’t happen the
first time as it is now it was just like
that with Jehu but Jehu was one event that
just happened, interrupted him and
changed his life, gave him the mission.
Same with Trump. What mission then can we
find a secret here that actually I mean
you’re never going to hear it on CNN or
or or MSNBC or anywhere pretty much
because you have to see this in the
Bible.
What mission can we find it if we
look at the ancient template of Jehu what
was Jehu’s mission? The prophet says it
gives him the charge you shall strike
down the house of Ahab what’s the house
of Ahab house of Ahab represented the
institution or institutions under it of
Israel’s apostasy from God that were
leading the nation away from God it was
the elite the ruling class
leading the nation away from God
Jehu’s
mission from God was to strike it down.
Trump’s mission therefore is to strike
down first of all is to bring
something to an end to strike something
down
what the houses and institutions of
America’s apostasy from God that have
led America away from God. It’s the elite
or ruling parts of the culture that have
led America away from God. Jehu was
called to dismantle those houses those
temples of of the nation’s apostasy.
That’s why Trump is doing everything he
can to dismantle the houses and
institutions of America’s apostasy and
there’s something else; it wasn’t only
for Jehu to strike down the institutions
that were leading his nation away from
God but the other side of that
ultimately: the point is to turn the
nation back to God and that is Trump’s
highest mission from God whether he
knows it or not when he when he puts out
he’s on a mission from God … does he
fully know it to lead in turning America
back to God can somebody like Trump do
that?  God will use whom God will use;
could someone like Jehu do what he did?
Well God will use whom he will use.
Jehu didn’t as far as we
know lead the nation back to God lead it
to revival. He did favor believers, he
did give them an honored place in his
reign just like Trump is doing, but we
don’t know that there was any revival,
and that was the whole point.
There was a
window for revival so when Jehu’s reign
was over the nation resumed its fall
from God so we have to pray now for
better things you know you know the fact
that Trump posts up this that he’s on a
mission from God it’s like a a prophetic
alarm for us believers of God to pray
that Trump would actually know and
fulfill his mission from God. …”

‘On Pentecost Sunday, thousands of believers across the nation made a public declaration of faith in what organizers say was the largest synchronized baptism event in American history.

More than 26,000 people were baptized as part of Baptize America, an initiative involving over 650 churches from all 50 states.

“The prayer of Jesus in John was that we would become one,” said Pastor Mark Francey, one of the organizers. “And I think that’s what we’re seeing right now — a unity around what we all agree on, which is water baptism.”

The event grew out of Baptize California, which began two years ago with 4,000 baptisms. That number jumped to more than 6,000 last year. …’

‘Jesus is the Resurrection of God’s Glory’ – part 2

Now to plug science into scripture of Hebrews 1:3, and just look at the effulgence of the Interlinear Greek:

Tangible evidence of Jesus being the ‘from-radiance of God’s glory’ may be found on His burial shroud, as noted in ‘What is the Importance of Shroud Science to Faith?’ (pdf 19 June 2020) on closing pages 20-21, emphases mine:

‘The voice of God that Pope Benedict XVI is referring to, for the first time resounded in
Bereshit, In the Beginning, saying (65) ‘Let there be light’. And John, the Apostle, then
writes (66): ‘Whoever says he is in the light, yet hates his brother, is still in the
darkness. Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is nothing in him to
cause a fall’. Therefore, the Light with which God enlightened the world is His Love.
Interesting that more recent studies show that a radiative photo-chemical process is the possible cause of the formation of the Shroud imprint (67), a process that certainly cannot be explained in a corpse.’ –

NB. Power required to produce image estimated at 34 trillion Watts!

67 Extremely important on this topic are the studies of Professor Giuseppe Baldacchini and of Professor Paolo Di Lazzaro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZKT1wXtfzY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crrjqa7ynj8; http://www.sindone.info/BALDAKI1.PDF

Some important conclusions stemming from their studies are the possibility for an excimer laser to produce a permanent coloring of the linen not with a fixed light but through a light pulse lasting less than 100 nanoseconds. In particular, UV light allows coloring but only above a certain minimum wavelength threshold and below a limit beyond which the linen burns. Once the appropriate wavelength is found, the coloring appears superficial and does not fluoresce, just as occurs in the Shroud Cloth and the irradiated linen fibrils are fragile, as occurs in the Shroud. Tests performed on small linen samples indicate that to irradiate a sheet like the Shroud one would require 34 trillion Watts and there is no excimer laser of this power in the world today.’‘

Matthew 17 (NKJV) 1-9 reads as follows:

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount

17 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, [a]let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. 7 But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” 8 When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
9 Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.”

Let’s not forget that some who’ve seen the Glory, eg David Strutt, say it makes the sun dirty by comparison!

The above title just dropped into mind within seconds of awaking at 6.50am as I gave my day to the Lord. Mulling that over just before reading today’s Sanctuary diary, that ‘drop’ expands into ‘Jesus is the Resurrection-Radiance of God’s Glory!’

Since the reprise of He is Risen! – Time and Quantum effects in Jesus’ Resurrection, followed by a new post with video links relating to The Shroud of Turin I’ve wanted to write this to plug science into scripture, especially following subsequent Saturday Men’s Breakfasts started to study the Book to the Hebrews – and now ‘God-incidentally’ AS I TYPE, this song on the subject of my focus – and the link to which I’d already inserted at a mid-point of this new post as my very first action – begins to play on this pc:

Nearly 30 years ago I highlighted this awesome declaration in Hebrews in my then new NIV Insight Bible purchased for ministry training:

Moreover, in his quoting prophet Jeremiah’s hearing the Lord’s instruction as a potter moulded clay, David Strutt profoundly likens it to his actions in creating a painting:

‘If the clay inspired the prophet and he has troubled to explain to us what he saw, so indeed it may speak powerfully to us as a prophetic illustration. If we have seen the potter’s skilful hands coaxing a thing of beauty out of a chunk of mud, so we can see that God acts so (emphasis mine). I have never made a pot but I do paint and, when I do, it arises from a vision I have seen in my mind’s eye.’

He goes on to explain how he endeavours to bring forth the vision into reality, but on occasions something may not work and so needs erasing with turps.

Thus, today’s mediation confirmed what was in my own mind: that modifying the original ‘drop’ by combining ‘Resurrection’ with ‘Radiance’ is not out of order.  I’d indeed heard well and it was and is again being expanded, now into a triple ‘R’:

‘Jesus is the Resurrection-Reflection-Radiance of God’s Glory!’

In Part 2 we connect this into scientific findings…

Huge God-incidences: part 2 – Council of Nicaea 1700th anniversary prayer call

Now for that latest piece in God’s Invisible Jigsaw from Dr Jurgen Buhler, President International Christian Embassy, Jerusalem:

A special call to 100 days of prayer and fasting to heal the rift between the Church and the Jewish people
By Dr. Jürgen Bühler, ICEJ President

‘This year many churches around the world are commemorating 1700 years since the landmark Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. According to Church historian Philip Schaff, Nicaea was – next to the Apostolic council in Jerusalem in Acts chapter 15 – “the most important and the most illustrious of all the councils of Christendom.” (1)

Nicaea was only the second global council since the days of the original Apostles. In Acts 15, we read about the very first church council discussing how to deal with the new phenomena of Gentiles joining a predominantly Jewish church. In that Jerusalem gathering, the early Apostles had opened wide the door for Gentile believers to join the Church.

Nicaea impacted the Church in a similarly powerful way. But unlike the Jerusalem council, at Nicaea the doors of the Church began to be firmly close on the Jewish people. The umbilical cord was cut between the Church and Israel, even though it was the nation and people who had birthed the Church. It also opened the door for growing anti-Jewish tendencies among Gentile Christians in the following centuries.

To be clear, this development was neither planned nor intended when the council was first called. Yet what made Nicaea end with a very different result from its inception was not inspired by spiritual leaders as in Acts 15, but by the Roman emperor himself.

Emperor Constantine, who reigned from 306 to 337 AD, was a new convert to Christianity. This brought a tremendous sense of relief for the early Church, which had just survived one of the worst waves of persecution a few years earlier under Emperor Diocletian. Constantine not only eased the fears of the Church but decided to make his newly-found faith the most official religion of the Roman Empire….’

Richard’s Watch goes full-circle: 8 – false theology, BBC bias and anti-Semitism

Posted on by
Reply

WWW, wheels-within-wheels, continue to roll as dear Neil’s revisiting ‘RT’ and strong stand against anti-Semitism takes this blog full circle back to its beginning fourteen years ago in November when my emailing him and other friends on End-times went public. That month I’d already written about a broadcast theological debate and my very first item, after launching with a Welcome to the wider public, continued with a follow-up, viz

False theology and false history

As ever, ‘God-incidental’ timing is intriguing because Neil wrote his latest as a result of a “curious series of events happened over the weekend” (Psalm Sunday) exposing the need for a proper grasp of scripture’s relevance to our times, and he wishes to share:

“Saturday morning I attended a Men’s Breakfast…I went with no intention or expectation of speaking….

There was a guest speaker from America who I did not know, and have never heard. He started by saying that he had decided the best format for the meeting would be if we attenders where to ask any question we liked, and he would answer. There was a long silence; so, to break the ice, I asked “Do you think Gaza could be under the judgement of God?” there was another silence, then he said: “I don’t know about Gaza, but I think America is under judgement”.
I said: “I asked the question because the people of Gaza have been cursing Israel for at least 20 years, and probably 77. In the Bible God says that if you curse my people Israel you will be cursed: there must be an outcome”. He said: “it depends on who you think “Israel” is. It is not the land, it is the people of God who are now “Israel” and there is only one “people of God”. My comment: “that sounds like replacement theology”. He then said something about different dispensations and “grafted-in Theology”, at which point the host stepped in and said we needed to move on to other questions.”

The next day Neil was interrupted during conversation by someone saying she’d heard he’d been “controversial” at the breakfast – but the speaker was entitled to a different point of view. “I tried to explain that replacement theology is not just “a different point of view”. However, I could see I wasn’t going to get anywhere… I don’t know why what happened, happened, but I am convinced it was God engineered.”

The sadness is that very few people understood, or cared about, what had taken place. The woman’s belief that it was a fluffy little difference of opinion between two equally valid points, seems to be the consensus view.”

Such a clueless position, instead of taking a stand against hatred, it implicitly supports….

BBC and ANTI-SEMITISM

As a consequence of writing about ‘RT’ in November 2011 I noticed and posted many times in the blog’s first year on the BBC’s deeply biased reporting against Israel – hence the need for a BBC tag!

AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS that since Neil’s ‘God engineered’ encounters, relevant news emerged on Tuesday regarding a vastly overpaid sports ex-commentator:

Now, let’s get back to what holy scripture says, for this passage in Ephesians 2 featured the next day at a local house group:

Brought Near by His Blood

11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Christ Our Peace

14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. (Ephesians 2 NKJV BibleGateway)

This points to God’s ultimate goal of all people, Jews and non-Jews, becoming united believers in Jesus Christ through His awesome grace. This is extensively explained in the books written to the Hebrews and the church in Rome.

SELAH!

Replacement Theology’s ungodly root: despising the Desposyni

Posted on by
Reply

A couple of historical points to add to Neil Mackereth’s Replacement Theology Revisited that I’d like to add are on the heritage of Jesus’ family and His warning prophecy of ‘the Abomination of Desolation’ in Jerusalem:

THE DESPOSYNI 

Occasionally, I refer to the ‘Desposyni’, as for example in Jesus’ Crucifixion Describer in The Holy Name of God:

‘When he made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire in the early 4th Century, Constantine discouraged all contact with Jews and the Church severed itself from its Jewish roots – from even the descendants of Jesus’ kith and kin, known as Desposyni.  In doing so, the Church lost a fuller and deeper understanding of the Old Testament.’

Now let’s expand upon this matter with the help of priest and professor Malachi Martin, whom I seem to recall served as Librarian in the Vatican Library, in his seminal The Decline and Fall of the Roman Church published 1981 (page 34, emphases added):

‘..For Donatus preached the old Jewish idea of a temporal kingdom, just as the Ayatollah proclaims in behalf of Islam. The Roman popes, no matter how subordinate they became to political power, no matter how greatly corrupted by it, always saw their spiritual power as distinct from the political and never wholly identified the two. This was the narrow but all-important hair-difference between Donatus and the bishop of Rome.

Replacement Theology Revisited – Neil Mackereth

REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY REVISITED

INTRODUCTION

I am disturbed and distressed by the parlous state of the World and our Nation. With few exceptions, our churches have developed a wishy washy, sit on the fence, don’t rock the boat, non-confrontational form of Complacent Theology.

Where is the conviction, robustness and power of Almighty God? I have a zeal for The Word of God, and truth, which is at odds with the smug wokeness of our time.

I want to focus on Replacement Theology (RT) (also known as Supersessionism), and its manifestation, antisemitism. I have written several papers on this subject and only return to it because it is getting much worse, as a result of the 7th October 2023 atrocities. The “Palestinian Movement” have invented a false narrative that has been taken up by the BBC and other mainstream media platforms, and that narrative has become self-affirming (“it must be right; they are saying it as well”).

First let us look at the historic roots of RT.

Verse of the Day 1 Thess 5:15-16 (BibleGateway.com)
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Thank you Father for a new day and Your gift of physical and spiritual life.
Thank You Jesus for the gift of eternal life through Your sacrificial death.
Thank You Holy Spirit for convicting me in showing me and leading me to Him and Father. And thank You too for Your giftings and help Your fruit grow in me.

Another piece of The Invisible Jigsaw is put into place

Being a Bank Holiday I wouldn’t normally have broken into our long weekend offline but Monday’s strong cold wind made us return indoors. I spotted an urgent prophetic word Veronika West had received early that morning and thus I shared herein, emphasising what the Lord says in my usual style.  That’s all very time consuming but my purpose is to honour the Lord, so normally there’s no time to weigh and pray – I know whatever our sister hears is bang on target, and will return to it as soon as and if possible.

Actually, it interrupted my intended completion of ongoing twin-theme on Jesus’ Burial Shroud, post-Resurrection appearances to children and my personal ‘wheels-within-wheels’ blogging cycles and emphases on Time.

However, Veronika’s got republished in its entirety along with earlier prophecies, but it wasn’t until I checked the whole over 24 hours later I spotted her own words of 14 April in A 50 Day Window of Time actually tie in with my recent blogging!  

Veronika writes,

‘As I heard The Spirit of Revelation say those Words, it was quickened to me that God was revealing a Prophetic Timeline!

A Prophetic Timeline of what will begin to unfold as the remnant moves through this Window of Time!

I am shown a Sacred Scroll now being unravelled and as the Prophetic Timeline is revealed, it will bring forth Divine Strategies that will bring us into Perfect Alignment for our Kingdom Assignments for the Next Prophetic Cycle!‘

THOSE WORDS HIT ME HARD and so I tried to find a moment in busy yesterday to comment, if not blog, upon that ‘God-incidence’ BUT I got nudged to check first this blog’s ‘dashboard’ and I was amazed to see YET ANOTHER NUMERICAL confirmation of what He’s doing through Richard’s Watch in yet again using 22, my birthday number, by inserting it between 5..0, as shown:

Posted this morning of Veronika West’s Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook

…A NOW WORD; MAY…; MARKED PLACES WILL SEE MANIFESTATIONS OF GREATER SHAKINGS,…UNPRECEDENTED MAYHEM AND NOTABLE MIRACLES..!!

…I Woke this morning with an Urgency in my Spirit…; Warriors Remain Alert and Vigilant…(As I shared a few weeks ago…Passover to Pentecost IS A HIGHLY STRATEGIC TIME)….

…But this morning 5/5/25….

..I heard the Spirit Say…”SHOUT ~ GRACE,…GRACE TO THE MOUNTAIN….

…I SAY BRACE FOR MAY-QUAKES AND MEGA-SHIFTS,…A MARKED TIME FOR EVEN GREATER MANIFESTATIONS OF MY GLORY AND GRACE”…

…Then I heard…”AN APPOINTED WINDOW OF TIME TO MOVE AND ADVANCE WITH GREATER ACCELERATION AND DIVINE DISCERNMENT…

..BE PREPARED…AND BE RIGHTLY ALIGNED FOR THE WHIRLWIND OF MY SPIRIT IS NOW MOVING UPON NATIONS TO UPROOT AND TEAR DOWN…

..WATCH AND PRAY!…MAY…A MARKED TIME OF MEGA SHIFTS,…SUDDEN AND UNPRECEDENTED UPRISING AND MAYHEM,….SIGNS AND NOTABLE MIRACLES MANIFESTING IN MARKED PLACES….

..AGAIN I SAY…WATCH! FOR MAY WILL BE A MARKED TIME OF GREATER SHAKINGS WHERE THE FOUNDATIONS OF NATIONS ARE NOW BEING PREPARED TO CARRY GREATER MEASURES OF MY GLORY AND FIRE FOR THE ERA AHEAD……

…MAY-DAY,…MAY-DAY!! A TIME FOR MY REMNANT TO DECREE…RIGHT PLACE…RIGHT TIME…RIGHT PLACEMENT…; FOR I TELL YOU THE RACE TO NOT TO THE SWIFT NOR THE BATTLE TO THE STRONG”..!!

And then I heard the Spirit quicken to me;…
…ECCLESIASTES 9:11…; “I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift. Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all. Time and chance happen to them all (Ecclesiastes 9:11)
=============================

A FIFTY DAY WINDOW OF TIME !
April 14, 2025 Veronika West..; https://www.hiskingdomprophecy.com/a-fifty-day-window-of-time/

I heard these Words:”Watch!
For a Fifty-Day Window of Time—
From Passover to Pentecost—
From Resurrection Breath to Revival Fire—
From the Valley of Dry Bones of Ezekiel 37—
To the Seven Spirit Rivers of Ezekiel 47—
That flows forth from My Throne!

Again I say — Watch!
For a Fifty-Day Window stands open before The Nations — from Passover to Pentecost!

I tell you! Come up here! Come up higher — and I will show you what must now take place!”

As I heard The Spirit of Revelation say those Words, it was quickened to me that God was revealing a Prophetic Timeline!

A Prophetic Timeline of what will begin to unfold as the remnant moves through this Window of Time!

I am shown a Sacred Scroll now being unravelled and as the Prophetic Timeline is revealed, it will bring forth Divine Strategies that will bring us into Perfect Alignment for our Kingdom Assignments for the Next Prophetic Cycle!

🔥The Holy Spirit then quickened the following Word and Vision…

This Speaks to what is now unfolding — and we must begin to Come into Agreement with Heaven!

..”The Beginnings of a Manifestation of Resurrection Power, Purifying Fires, The Ruach Breath and the Rain of Restoration in the Nations”….

🎯See January 9, 2025 HKP Word:

..”THE BEGINNINGS OF A MANIFESTATION OF RESURRECTION POWER!“

…Prophesy to the Breath!

An excerpt from January 25, 2024 HKP Word: “Golden Calf Altars of Aaron are Rising in The Valley of Decision!“

…In a recent encounter, I was standing on a great Ship.

I knew the Ship spoke of The Nations, and the Ship was being violently tossed to and fro’ upon the high seas.

I knew again by revelation, that a greater shaking, turmoil and trouble was before The Nations, and as I stood upon the deck of the Ship, a thick and heavy Fog began to rise from the depths of the sea.

The first thing I noticed about the Fog, was a foul smell — a putrid odour — that immediately began to fill my nostrils.

The Fog also brought with it a strange heaviness, and the smell that filled my nostrils translated into a bitter taste in my mouth.

The Fog was heavy and thick — so thick that it soon became impossible to see anything before me!

I knew by revelation, that the rising Fog was powerfully demonic and designed to bring blindness, confusion, depression, disorientation, fear, intimidation and heavy demonic oppression over The Nations!

When suddenly I heard The Spirit say, ”Come up here! Come up higher! Now Prophesy to the Four Winds!”

Now, as soon as I began to rise up higher above the thick Fog, I heard The Spirit say again, ”Come up here! Come up higher! Now Prophesy to the Four Winds!”

As I heard those Words, I saw four Cherubim (Angels) come up and go forth upon The Nations, and I saw their faces — the face of the Ox, the Lion, the Eagle, and the face of a Man.

Then I heard The Spirit say, ”Now Prophesy a Mighty Manifestation of the Four Faces of God into the Nations of the Earth!

Prophesy to the Four Winds!

Prophesy a Manifestation of the Four Faces over the Nations of the Earth!

Watch — as the Winds of the Eagle brings forth Revelation, and the Mysteries of My Grace.

Watch — as the Winds of the Lion brings forth the Roar of Judah to awaken the deep sleepers.

Watch — as the Mighty Winds of the Ox brings forth Strength and Power to Prevail and to Rebuild the Righteous Altars in The Valley of Decision!

And Watch — as the Winds of the Man, brings forth Light in the midst of deep darkness, to expose and uncover what’s been hidden!”

Then I heard The Spirit say, “Now, prophesy a Manifestation of the Release of the Kingship Anointing and Authority on the Earth.

Through the Face of The Lion — prophesy the Rise of Kings on the Earth! Prophesy the Reformation of the Five-fold Ministries!

I say, Prophesy a Manifestation of the Divine Nature and Glory of God through the Face of The Eagle!

Prophesy the rise of The Fathers — that the hearts of Prodigal Nations will be turned back in true Repentance!

Prophesy a Manifestation of the Divine Nature and Glory of God, that brings Revelation and Wisdom concerning True Identity!

Again I say — Prophesy a Manifestation of Strength, Power and Humility of the Mantle of the Ox.

Prophesy the Rise of a Royal Priesthood for the Rebuilding and Restoration of Righteous Altars that will counter the power of the altars of Baal, and the Idols that sit upon them.

Prophesy a continual presenting of your bodies as living sacrifices upon the Righteous Altars that are now rising.
Son of man, Prophesy a Manifestation of the Divine Humanity of Christ in the midst of The Nations.

Prophesy! Arise! Shine! For My Glory has risen upon you!

Prophesy a Manifestation of Light in the darkness — Divine Revelation and Wisdom, supernatural signs wonders and miracles on the Earth.

Beloved, listen. For it’s not enough to ascend the Mountain — but My Prophets must prophesy to the Four Winds.
Prophesy to the Breath!

My Prophets must Decree at The Gates and Declare a Mighty Manifestation of the Four Faces within the Four Winds, to lift and shift the demonic Fog that has blinded The Nations and lulled many into a Deep Sleep!” says the Spirit of God.

Prophetic Notes
• Prophesy to the Four Winds of the Four Faces: Wheel within a wheel.
• Prophesy a Manifestation of the Four faces in the Nations of the earth.

• Face of The Lion — Lion — The King — Mantle of Kingship — The Lion speaks to Royalty…Genesis 49, Jacob/ Israel describes his 4th son, Judah, as a “lion’s cub,” and the tribal symbol of Judah is a lion.…; The Road of Royalty carries the sound of the roar/ Sound of Distinction that breaks the power and Influence of Delilah’s Lullaby and the demonic distortion that has brought blindness through deception, over The Nations.

• Face of The Eagle — Eagle — Mantle of Fatherhood — The Eagle (Son of God) Revelation; soaring in the Spirit, God’s protecting care: Access to the deeper things of God, hidden mysteries of His Glory and Grace; divine Gifts, prophetic gifts, Eagles Wings that bring forth swiftness of Divine operations in the Earth

“As an eagle stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, He spread His wings to catch them; He carried them on His pinions,”
Deuteronomy 32:11

• Face of the Ox — Mantle of Priesthood ; The Ox (Humility)…The Ox is a creature of great Power, yet humbly submits to the authority that tames and directs it.

The Suffering Servant: Sacrifice, sin bearer, burden bearer; firmness, endurance, strength. Harvest — Ox —- Priesthood — Righteous Altars are built and established with the Priesthood Mantle.

• Face of the MAN — The Prophet ; The Man (Humanity) The Human Face of God in Jesus: God with us; Intelligence, wisdom, compassion, empathy. Divine intercession….

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ,” 2 Corinthians 4:6

More Prophetic Notes:
Elijah built an Altar to shift the Baal culture of the prophets of Baal influence that was over the Land, Air and Waters..;

The Ecclesia must ascend the Mountain, to be mantled with The Spirit and Power of Elijah and begin to legislate on the earth…;

HE IS RISEN! – Time and Quantum effects in Jesus’ Resurrection

Posted on by

First published in the early years of this blog and annually thereafter for newer readers:

In preparation for the Holy-days’ weekend Nina creates a tableau for contemplating Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. She’s inspired about what items to collect and arrange, usually including a rock with a central hole eroded by the sea and which we found on a beach. It serves as both the ‘skull’ and garden tomb of Golgotha. For example, the above display has a scarf as a ‘river of life’ flowing out of the empty cave/tomb below the cross. (In 2012 it gave an insight that I’ll share below.)

Maundy Thursday is celebrated as the night when Jesus and His twelve, principal disciples ate the Passover Seder, or meal, in advance of the main schedule in order to be ready for His being the sacrificial Lamb of God.

Following the meal, one disciple betrayed Him by leading Temple guards to capture Him at night for trial by a ‘kangaroo’ court of Jewish leaders. It was a foregone conclusion that they’d demand authorisation of His death from Pontius Pilate, the Roman Prefect, or governor, of Judea.

If you’re unfamiliar with this true story and how it led to Jesus’ gruesome torture, death and burial followed by his amazing bodily resurrection and appearance to His disciples, read doctor Luke’s investigative account and the personal account of Jesus’ closest disciple John.

Later, Saul of Tarsus, a Jewish leader violently opposed to them, had a life-changing encounter with the Ascended Jesus en-route to Damascus. He became known as Apostle Paul and wrote that Jesus had been seen simultaneously by over 500 people post-Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:6 refers).

HEAVEN & HUMAN HISTORIES’ PIVOTAL TIME

Jesus Christ died so that each of us may be forgiven for our sins. As a result of this new status, we can have direct personal access to Almighty God when we believe in Jesus Christ. As the Son of God, Jesus suffered on our behalf as our ‘scapegoat’. That is, Jesus took the place of death that we deserved because of our sinfulness, for the shedding of a sinless one’s blood was the only way our status could be changed for us to gain personal salvation. Paul explains it this way to the early church in the Rome:

8But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. (Romans 5:8-11, NIV, see whole chapter.)

Now, when I was a new Christian I found that rather hard to understand – but it works! The theological term is ‘atonement’, or ‘substitutionary atonement’. In bringing forgive-ness to the guilty, however, this can cause deep problems for those who’ve been the victim of crimes. After all, why should a killer find forgiveness by God? And what about the victim’s families, or the victim of abuse? They find it very hard if well-nigh impossible to forgive.

In 2012 I heard a Portsmouth prison chaplain address this issue with a concept taken from the criminal justice system: restorative justice. This involves an active dialogue between victim and offender, plus reparation. And it has a sound basis in theology. How?

Jesus was a guiltless victim, directly of those who wanted Him killed, and indirectly of everyone’s ‘fallen state’ of sinfulness, which could only be rectified by His death.

And Almighty God, the Father, is a victim too. How? He’s victim of humanity’s rebellion against Him. For example and especially over the way religious leaders murdered His son – how they seethed with rage when Jesus denounced them! (read Luke 20:9-19). So, every victim can find an identity and affinity in both God and Jesus Christ in their situation. Hence, they can receive God’s own ability to forgive because He will help them choose to forgive those who’ve harmed them. [Lack of forgiveness may be the only thing that hampers God – see Matt 6:14-15]

A TABLEAU IN TIME

During contemplation upon the tableau illustrated above, an insight dropped into mind that the Resurrection created a distinct point in the flow of, or perhaps even a change in, Time itself. That is, the now termed ‘common era’ calendar is the medieval Christian one that counts years from the approximate birth of Christ as ‘anno Domini’. But in fact, a more powerful one would be the point at which things in heaven changed and thus affected our lives on earth and its ultimate role in God’s scheme of creation. This took place at the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, His revival to life from death itself.

That such a concept may be valid can be found in the discoveries about the material of ‘The Shroud of Turin’, the shroud in which Jesus was thought to have been carried and covered during His interment. It is of most astounding significance when examined from the view-point of modern physics.

Apart from the supra-natural or spiritual aspect, that unique, singular event could have naturally happened by means of a ‘singularity’ (a theoretical gravitational effect associated with ‘black holes’, eg. as may have been the starting point of the creation of the universe, or ‘Big Bang’).

Don’t take my word for this but consider that of Dame Isabel Piczek (deceased 2016), famous as a monumental artist and award-winning figurative draughtswoman. Her highly detailed analysis of theories about how the image on the shroud was formed is authoritative, as in the first of several detailed articles here.

Also, as a physicist who may have considered implications from a quantum mechanics standpoint, her conclusions about how the image was formed are most intriguing: it seems that the image of Jesus can only have been created by its hovering equidistantly above and below his reclining bent corpse. Furthermore, this necessitated the body’s levitation – perhaps not an impossible feat during the moment of the Resurrection power-blast?

After all, the disciples had already witnessed Jesus walking on water but were yet to be surprisingly but joyously stunned Him by His turning up in their midst, materialising, in a private room behind closed doors for fear of the Jews (John 20:19) – maybe quantum dynamics principle of ‘tunnelling’, as in On Engaging and Governing Time, came into play? – then forty days later watch Him flying bodily upwards into the clouds!

Dame Isabel succinctly summarises:

We have a piece of cloth and it leads us to a mysterious gateGoverni which opens for us, and it lets us see a completely different world, an extraordinary world with extraordinary laws.

Consider these claims by reading those articles and watching this 19 minute of extracts from the DVD The Fabric of Time (with its own lead-in trailer). There’s also a discussion of her scientific opinion at In Case You Missed Isabel Piczek’s Wonderful Paper.

‘Coincidentally”, just after having read the last link and revised the preceding references to science (post published 5 years ago), I’m alerted to theoretical physicist Mehki’s new post on ‘black holes’ and ‘event horizons’ (see Looking to the Horizon). The discussion thread has a valuable contribution from ‘physicalrealityblog’ that’s pertinent to the Shroud site’s discussion of Dame Isabel’s analysis and indirectly reconnects it back into quantum physics!
2017: ‘Coincidentally’ amusing that bloggers ‘hidden’ on opposite sides of the world (Britain and New Zealand) were preparing items on the fabrics that Jesus Christ was buried with – the full-body shroud and the head linen – in Joseph of Arimathea’s private tomb. My post updated on Wed 12 April 2017 was scheduled on Thurs 13th for auto-publication Sun 16 April. On Good Friday 14 April Joanne Rolston published news of the ‘Sudarium’ in AB-solute Proof – The Blood That Speaks.

Jesus’ Crucifixion described within the Holy Name of God

Posted on by
1

First published on this blog in April 2017:

According to Steve Maltz, author of God’s Signature, the only time the sacred, personal Name of God was spoken by the ancient Israelites was during worship in the Temple in Jerusalem, and especially on the Day of Atonement when the High Priest pronounced it ten times.

The Talmud has many warnings about using the most holy Name – it is also regarded as having special powers of healing. Apparently knowledge of its pronunciation was lost after the fall of the Temple in AD70 prophesied by Jesus Christ.

The knock-on effect of that event, together with the Roman Church’s withdrawal in the third Century of financial support for churches in the Holy Land founded by Jesus’ own ‘kith and kin’ (‘desponyni’), was the great loss of a full understanding of the Church’s Hebraic roots. Hence the confusion and doctrinal disagreements over Jesus’ claim, “I am in the Father and the Father is in me” (John 14:10).

Digging deeper we encounter an astonishing revelation of that double-identity!

From translations of Hebrew, the post-Shakespeare English-speaking world referred to God’s Name as ‘Jehovah’ or ‘LORD’ (letter ‘J’ was then starting to replace ‘i’). However, Jews preferred well-known descriptive titles such as ‘Elohim’ – God, in all the fullness of His attributes; ‘El Shaddai’ – Almighty; ‘El Sabaoth’ – Lord of heavenly hosts; or Adonai’ – Lord, and more often than not the reverent term ‘Ha Shem’ (The Name) sufficed.

Scribes, or sopher, needed to take special care in praying before writing the holy name, which must be done without interruption. Were a mistake made, it must not be corrected but the whole page discarded and the page restarted. Numbering had to be carefully handled too because Hebrew characters represented both letters and numbers. So the logical way of writing 15 is to add a yod (ie 10) to a hey (ie 5) and likewise for 16 (a yod to a vav). But this never happened because, as part of the sacred name, they could accidentally be read as this name. The Holy Name is shown below, but read from right to left:

Ha Shem

“Yod-Hey-Vav-Hay” first appears in Genesis 2:4 statement ‘The Book of Beginnings’ is the account of, “When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens”.This Name was first revealed when Moses encountered God in the burning bush after he’d asked Him whom should he tell the Israelites had sent him to get them out of their slavery in Egypt.

God replied, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you’. ” (Exodus 3:14 NKJV)
Steve writes, “Interestingly and contrary to popular belief, the Hebrew word used in this passage…is not YHVY (he shows Hebrew characters). So, what’s going on here? Is it His name or isn’t it? In this Exodus passage, the word used for His name is “Aleph-Hey-Yod-Hey”.

“This takes the meaning of “I will be”…(which) shares a similar three-consonant root with YHVY in Hey-Vav-Hey and Hey-Yod-Hey…and as they’re related are both ways of describing God”. Hence my liking of describing God as “Always” and “Now”, the latter being used by Charlie Shamp too.

HOLY FATHER-SON UNION REVEALED & THE CRUCIFIXION FORETOLD

As in those preceding links, literary Hebrew developed out of pictographic forms that represent gestures and their meanings. We logically surmise both original visual and later written forms were known to and, therefore, used by the Lord in communicating with Abraham and his descendants through Issac and Jacob, and used by Moses and his scribes in compiling the first five books of the Bible.

Comparing the literary and pictorial forms of the name Moses heard and recorded as being from the Lord, we have this graphic (credit Heart To Heart):

Hebrew is read right to left, ie ‘hand-look-nail-look’, but if we read as normal left to right we find not only the Name of God describing who He is, the fullness of His character and abilities, but also its exceptional prophetic nature in it foretelling the pivotal point of His action plan for humanity: the crucifixion of His Son Jesus Christ!

BEHOLD – A NAIL – BEHOLD – A HAND

AND THIS ‘WORD’ SHOWS TWO PERSONS!

Could this indicate that Christ was hidden in the Father when Moses encountered them at the burning bush but manifested as ‘The Angel of the Lord’ or pre-incarnate Christ ? It’s worth reading Exodus 3 carefully again and note Who is speaking to Moses…

Moreover, the pictographs graphically portray God as ‘hands up’ in connection with a nail. Putting all this together into one picture we get a typical image of Jesus on the Cross at Calvary, where long nails or spikes driven through Jesus’ wrists damage the median nerves thus making His hands bend into the ‘claw position’ – just like letter Yod!!

Tim Shey comments on the crucifixion post, “The First Word in the Bible says Jesus is God and He Will Die on the Cross” and he provides this excellent 10 minutes video:

The video was included when I posted the original of this item, which was based upon Jonathan Hill’s book Unlocking the Sign Miracles of John. I’ll tell more another day, but to continue:

ALPHA-OMEGA HIDDEN WITHIN GENESIS 1:1 (AS ALEPH-TAV)

In Appendix I (pages 202-203) on the meaning of number 37 and its palindromic partner 73, Jonathan says both form the numerical value for the fundamental Hebrew word ‘wisdom’. He tells how this pair play a role in a multiplication, the result being the precise number of the Hebrew for the creation verse of Genesis 1:1. He goes on to relate this to 666 and a diagrammatic representation, which he interprets as meaning:

‘This transformation represents the dispensational truth that at the second coming of Christ, the dominant spiritual hierarchy of the world changes from 666, the number of the ‘beast’, to 12 – the governmental number of Israel. All this information including this powerful intervention of God is elegantly and visually encoded in the first verse of the Bible.’

This claim continues by divulging this astounding mystery:

REVELATION 1:8, 11 – 21:6 – 22:13

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” (NKJV, BibleGateway.com)
