AN EXCELLENT START TO A HOLY WEEK SABBATICAL OFFLINE!
Upon waking and after greeting the Lord for the day, my thoughts turned to updating this blog’s End-times Briefings to refer to the possible ‘kick-start’ to timing of ‘End-times’ with the birth of modern Israel in 1948, as in Neil Mackereth’s paper on Ten Scriptures!
Moreover, there’s couple more items on this blog having now gone ‘full circle’ to write. With those notions nudging me I’m then astonished to read this implicit God-incidental confirmation from BibleGateway (per Deut 19:15 principle)
SELAH!
ANNEX TO ‘STAND YOUR GROUND’
I want to whet your appetite by looking at some amazing examples of fulfilled prophecy from recent history. I will do this using ten Scriptures that prophesy the re-establishment of Israel as a nation.
This momentous event happened in 1948 – thousands of years after the prophecies were given and recorded. I will provide brief comments and approximate dates in my discussion of these parallels:
1. “I will bring back my exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them,” says the Lord your God. – Amos 9:14-15 (written 760 BC)
The prophet Amos, writing some 2750 years ago, foresaw the return of his dispersed and exiled people to their homeland. The short-range fulfilment occurred in 536 BC, after the Jewish people got deported to Babylon (“The Exile”, is considered in more detail in ‘SIGNS’) were allowed back to the land of their forefathers. This was the more immediate fulfilment. But Biblical prophecy often contains a dual focus – an immediate or shorter term fulfilment in history and an ultimate or longer term fulfilment at the culmination of history.
The long-range fulfilment of this prophecy happened in 1948 when the Nation of Israel was miraculously re–established, leading to an ingathering of Jewish people from their two thousand year Diaspora (dispersion throughout the world). Note that the prophecy makes clear that they will not be displaced again. [Emphasis RB]
2. “So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet – a vast army. Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, `Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ Therefore prophesy and say to them: `This is what the Sovereign Lord says: O my people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord‘.” – Ezekiel 37:10-14 (written 580 BC)
Once again there is an immediate and an ultimate fulfilment contained within the same prophecy. Ezekiel, prophesying in the 6th century BC, foresees the revival of the Jewish people as a nation. At the time they were languishing in Babylon (now in Iraq). But within fifty years the Jewish people – numbering about 50,000 – were allowed back to their own land and to the site of the ruined Temple in the sacked city of Jerusalem. By the turn of the century the new Temple had been built and the nation had been resurrected through the work of the Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:6).
However, in AD 70 Jerusalem and its Temple were destroyed once again, this time not by the Babylonians but by the Romans. Once again the Jewish people were exiled from their homeland and scattered across the globe as displaced people living as minority groupings in many countries.
How the Jewish people didn’t die out completely is a miracle! Ezekiel foresaw this and predicted an even greater miracle – the resurrection of the Jewish people in the End Times. This occurred when Israel re-established sovereignty in 1948, three years after the end of the Holocaust, during which it is estimated that one in three Jews was killed by the Nazis. It seems to me that Israel was brought back from the dead!
3. “Before she goes into labour, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labour than she gives birth to her children.” – Isaiah 66:7-8 (written 700 BC)
This prophecy is quite remarkable in its accuracy, although this should not be startling given that God inspired the prophet who decreed it! The description of a woman giving birth before going into labour is a very apt analogy for what happened on 14 May 1948 when modern Israel was “born in a day”, only to face the onslaught of its enemies. On that day, the United States recognised Israel’s sovereignty. The United Nations mandate expired, ending British control of the land. Over a 24-hour period, foreign control of that part of Palestine ceased and Israel declared its independence as a nation. Israel was born in a single day!
As Ezekiel prophesied, the labour pains followed. Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Saudi Arabia attacked Israel within hours. Israel’s declaration of nationhood had triggered a war. On 15th May 1948, Azzam Pasha, the Secretary General of the Arab League, said: “This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades.” Others made similar comments during the war of 1948-49, and during the 1967 and 1973 wars, and the rhetoric continues. Nevertheless, Israel survives!
4. “And say to them, `This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms” – Ezekiel 37:21-22 (written 580 BC)
When this was written Israel had been divided into two kingdoms – Israel in the North and Judah in the South. The original undivided kingdom was formed from the federation of twelve Israelite tribes that occupied Canaan in the time of Joshua (an area roughly corresponding to the Levant, a historical geographical region which covered what we now know as Lebanon, Israel, the Palestinian territories, west Jordan and south west Syria). This kingdom was first established under King Saul (c 1050 to 1010BC), consolidated and strengthened by King David (1010 to 970BC) but divided into northern and southern kingdoms after the death of King Solomon (970 to 931BC).
Why did this division occur? The ten northern tribes rebelled against Solomon’s son and successor Rehoboam (931 to 914BC) while the tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained loyal. The ten rebellious tribes became Israel (the northern kingdom), the two loyal tribes became Judah (the southern kingdom).
Once again we see both a shorter-term and a longer-term fulfilment of this prophecy. While the shorter-term fulfilment occurred towards the end of the 6th century BC, when the scattered Jewish people returned from their bleak exile in Babylon, the longer-term fulfilment occurred in 1948 when Israel was reborn as a single nation and the dispersed Jewish people began to return to what they term Ha Aretz, the Land. Although the people only occupied a fraction of the area of the former “Land of Canaan”, we can still see remarkable resonances between Ezekiel’s words in the 6th century BC and events in the Middle East in the twentieth century.
5. “However, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when men will no longer say, `As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ but they will say, `As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ For I will restore them to the land I gave their forefathers. – Jeremiah 16:14-15 (written 600 BC)
This promise, of the restoration of the Jewish people to their homeland, was not only fulfilled in the time of the return to Judah in the 6th century BC. It was also fulfilled in the twentieth century, and its fulfilment continues!
After 1948, Jews have returned to Israel, after nearly 2000 years of dispersion, from as far afield as Russia, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Africa and many other continents and nations.
It seems Jeremiah was operating with both an immediate and an ultimate prophetic vision.
6. I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. – Ezekiel 34:13 (written 580 BC)
Once again this occurred both in the 6th century BC and in the 20th century AD. Since 1948, millions of “exiles” have returned to Ha Aretz.
7. “Hear the word of the Lord, O nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands: `He who scattered Israel will gather them and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’ – Jeremiah 31:10 (written 600 BC)
It is in our own times as it was in Jeremiah’s (6th century BC): God is watching over the re-established Nation of Israel. Israel has survived and succeeded against enormous odds.
8. “You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.” – Leviticus 26:3, 7-8 (written 1400 BC)
The day after Israel’s declaration of independence in 1948, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon invaded. The combined population of those countries was more than 20 million at that time whilst Israel had fewer than 1 million. Even so, Israel won and increased its size by 50 %.
Similar examples of memorable victories against enormous odds can be seen in the 1967 “6 Day War” and the 1973 “Yom Kippur” war.
9. Then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you. Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens, from there the Lord your God will gather you and bring you back. He will bring you to the land that belonged to your fathers, and you will take possession of it. He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers. – Deuteronomy 30:3-5 (written 1400 BC)
Israel is amazingly prosperous, in relation to its size, as evidenced by this quote from a Jewish newspaper of 5th July 2011:
“Very few countries have managed to grow and prosper so quickly in 60 years, from a standard of living of $3,100 per person in 1948 to today’s $25,000; from a country of 600,000 residents to 7.3 million; and from an orange exporter to an international high-tech power”.
10. I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions. And wherever they went among the nations they profaned my holy name, for it was said of them, ‘These are the Lord’s people, and yet they had to leave his land.’ I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone. “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes. ‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land’. – Ezekiel 36:19-24 (written 580 BC)
This scripture is very significant, particularly for those who wonder why God would re-establish and watch over the mainly secular state of Israel. The reason is because He said He would. It is for His name’s sake (for the honour of His name).
The Abrahamic Covenant is an everlasting covenant, which God will fulfil, not for the sake of His unruly people Israel but to show the world He is God, His name is holy, and He always honours all He has promised and, of course, there is more to come!
THE MIRACLE THAT IS ISRAEL
So there you have it! Ten Scriptures from the Old Testament, written between 3500 and 2500 years ago, all of which predict the unforeseen and improbable return of the Jewish people to the Land and the prosperity that would greet them when they did. All this is nothing short of miraculous!
If you’re new to Neil’s writings you may wish to read this introduction. The above Annex is from chapter 1 of his book SIGNS: The Significance of Biblical Prophecy (review).
My End-times writing partner Neil Mackereth offers further thoughts and insights which strongly remind me that this topic not only proves the Bible is prophetic, both before and since Jesus’ life and ministry, but also affects everyone living today by predicting a 20th Century event that is focal – as though ‘ground-zero’ – to kick-starting the End-times. Thus, I underscore Neil’s opening paragraph…
STANDING YOUR GROUND
Introduction
In the last couple of years, it has often been the case that when I start to write an article on a particular topic, God changes my direction. Today is no exception: while drafting a paper on some general principles of prophecy, God guided me to a specific prophetic fulfilment, and to some related Biblical imperatives, that are being under-appreciated or ignored.
The Prophetic Fulfilment
The re-establishment of the state of Israel in a day, on 14 May 1948, was supernatural, extraordinary and the fulfilment of many prophecies; as in the accompanying Annex.
The detail in those prophecies is mind-blowing and their significance, describing a key turning point in the history of God’s people and a major stepping-stone in the accomplishment of His plans for the world, is seriously undervalued by the church.
Biblical Imperatives
The imperative that trumps all imperatives is that if the Jews were taken out of history there would be no Bible, no prophets, no Judaism, no Jesus, no Christianity etc. Obviously, that is not where we are. But think about it; if Israel were to cease to exist, the Bible would not be true.
Moving on, Israel is a land about which God repeatedly says: “This is MY land” (Joel 1:6; Zech. 2:5-7; Gen. 35:10-15).
God’s call to Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3): ”Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
Isaiah 62:1: “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will see your vindication, and all kings your glory;”
Psalm 122:6: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem”
The Outworking
It is time to take the Word of God seriously, speak out, tell the truth, bless Israel, pray without ceasing, preach the Gospel and lift up our hands in Holy and joyful praise: we have a mighty God.
The Challenge
There can be few who would not agree that the “Palestinians” have been cursing Israel for at least 20 years, and probably for 77. The Bible shows there are consequences: I believe Gaza is under judgement. That does not mean that we should not pray for them and seek their wellbeing. There is no place for hatred in our faith,
What are the roots of this demonically driven desire to see Israel overrun, and the Jewish people eradicated? That question was answered in part in an earlier paper: Israel in the End Times. It is all part of Satan’s plan to ensure that there is no Nation of Israel, no land and no people, for Jesus to return to as King. In other words, Satan believes he can prevent the fulfilment of Biblical prophecy.
With few exceptions, the founding fathers of the church were Jews, and that remained the case until the Gospel began to spread. Paul defines and describes the Jews’ role in God’s purposes, in Romans 9-11: the passage explains the theology of God’s covenants with the Jews. Scripture explains that, spiritually speaking, Christians are grafted into the Jewish legacy (Rom. 2:28-29, Gal. 3:26-29) – the church does not replace them!
It would be anomalous for a Bible-believing Christian to take a passive position toward the Jews and Israel. As Christians, we stand with Israel, because they are forever linked with the spiritual promises of God, and we owe them an immeasurable debt of gratitude.
Ezekiel 37 confirms God’s commitment to make the land of Israel theirs forever.
Notwithstanding Israel’s clear Biblical entitlement to the land, the 1917 Balfour declaration to assign it to them, and the confirmation of the United Nations Assembly in 1948, Israel is portrayed as the aggressor for defending her land from relentless genocidal attacks. The Palestinian goal is not to secure a homeland but to drive Israel out altogether. The relentless animosity of parts of the Arab world is not politically motivated. As mentioned above, there are demonic powers that will not be satisfied until Israel ceases to exist.
Stand With Israel
Scripture says a time is coming when all the nations of the world will turn against Israel (Zech. 12:1-14). Do you see it is happening? The very influential main stream media have become agents of Satan’ propaganda machine and are leading people astray: antisemitism has reached epidemic proportions (eg. as in latest on the BBC as below).
There seems every likelihood that we are the end times generation. Our calling is to stand with Israel. As Ephesians 6:13 says:
“Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”

‘Tim Davie, the BBC’s director general, refused anti-Semitism training for the broadcaster, the Government’s adviser on anti-Jewish hatred has revealed.
Lord Mann, Sir Keir Starmer’s independent adviser on anti-Semitism, said he had visited BBC bosses to offer training on three occasions since taking up his role in 2019. However, he said senior figures, including Mr Davie himself, turned down his repeated offers despite growing fears of an anti-Semitism problem at the BBC.
In a strongly worded condemnation of the broadcaster, Lord Mann accused it of failing to take seriously allegations of anti-Semitism and alleged anti-Israel bias in its reporting, saying there was an “arrogance at the top”.
He called for senior executives of the news corporation to be sacked for signing off on a controversial documentary….’

The above comes as no surprise in view of this blog’s dozens of postings on BBC, and regarding it as ‘Brussels’ Broadcasting Club’ and ‘Britain’s Brainwashing Cult’…and this screen-shot’s timing acts as confirmation in again showing my birthday number!
Ron Mark’s worship song These Are The Days of Elijah became an ‘earworm’ in mind and spirit over the weekend, as in my personal revelation of the Time To Breakout conference, and I look forward to whatever my friend Veronika would summarise of the profound matters she spoke upon – and more was yet to follow!
So on Monday I note she writes on her Facebook and in His Kingdom Prophecy – THE DAYS OF ELIJAH HAVE BEGUN::
On hearing those Words, I sat up and began to pray, and I was shown by The Spirit of Revelation, yet another and even greater shaking that is coming to The Church and to the Governments of the earth.
A great shaking that is going bring exposures like never seen before!
And then I heard, ”Watch! For The Books have now been opened!”
And I saw The Scales of Justice suddenly begin to move in the midst of a great shaking.
I saw not only severe Judgment coming for those who are corrupt — and to the kingdom of darkness — but I saw great vindication and great reward coming to those who have been attacked and unfairly accused in the last season.
I saw sudden recompense and great reward being released.
Then I was shown, The Spirit and Power of Elijah is coming to herald a great Wealth Transfer, and I saw a crashing of the financial systems and structures.
Wall Street — The Stock Exchange — being greatly shaken!
I saw a Global Economic Crisis coming, and The LORD said, “Watch! For when this begins to take place, it will be Sign that The Spirit and Power of Elijah is invading The Nations!”
Now, as I heard those Words, I saw a Hammer that looked like a Judge’s Gavel come out of the Heavens — and it came down upon a large black rock and smashed it to pieces!
Then I heard, ”Watch! For when the reign of My Justice and Judgement falls — that which was built on the black rock shall surely fall to ruin and never recover!”
I was then shown another Global Reset coming, that will usher in the rise of an end-time Army of Righteous Revolutionaries and the rise of the spirit of the Antichrist.
Now, as I was being shown these things, I felt The LORD’s Hand come upon me, and again I was shown many more things to come.
I saw many who will cry out in desperation, seeking answers amidst the turmoil and great economic confusion and uncertainty.
As false foundations are fully exposed and removed, many will feel lost, disillusioned by the crumbling systems they once trusted.
But I saw in the midst of this great time of chaos, a mighty army rising, forged in the fire of Adversity and Persecution — empowered by The Seven Spirits of God.
The Spirit and Power of Elijah was not just a call to The Judgment that is coming — it was also a Clarion Call to The Faithful Remnant — to those who had endured and remained steadfast and immovable in their Faith.
I then saw Radical Reformers standing firm, their hearts fully ablaze with divine purpose and unwavering resilience.
I saw Goshens rising, marked places emerging fully preparing for what is to come. Marked places — and marked people — fully equipped with the Revelation, Wisdom and Understanding of God, ready and rising to bring The Light of Christ into dark places.
I heard The Spirit say, “My rising, shining Remnant shall not be silenced — but they shall roar — and many Apostolic and Prophetic Voices never heard of before, shall come forth.
Those driven into caves of isolation — those who have been rejected, marginalized and oppressed, will rise carrying the double-troublers Mantle, and they shall legislate and execute Heaven’s Mandate in The Nations of the earth, in the Power and Authority of the Key of The House of David.
Yes, I tell you, they will declare My Truth and advance My Kingdom with a mighty demonstration of Power and Authority, that will cause The Heavens to shake and the earth to quake.
Get ready, for a New Movement of My Word and Spirit is coming!
A Wave of Revival that will sweep across Nations, which will awaken the deep sleepers and bring to birth Kingdom Reformation within The Church, that will impact The Nations of the earth!”
But then I heard a Warning; “Do not be deceived by the signs of the times!”
The enemy will attempt to sow great confusion and division among the ranks. False prophets will emerge, cloaked in deception, carrying strange fire, leading many astray.
Yet, those who have sought to make their Dwelling Place in The Secret Place of His Presence — those who have learned to hide and abide under the covering of His Word — will have the discernment to distinguish the Truth from falsehood — the Real from the counterfeit!
Then, I saw that as the Economic Structures and Systems fell, a mighty shift took place.
The great Wealth Transfer that is coming, is not merely about material gain; but it was about wealth and resources being redirected and redistributed for The Kingdom and for the accelerated advancement of His Purposes on the earth!
I saw Ministries receiving unexpected funding — new businesses emerging, that will thrive and expand — because the foundations are built on Godly Principles!
The very structures that once exploited the innocent and the ignorant, will be completely dismantled and destroyed, and a New Kingdom Economy —- rooted in radical Generosity, Justice, and Righteousness — will emerge!
But God showed me the Antichrist spirit rising in the midst.
I saw a dark figure rising out of Europe, cloaked in charm and great deceit; a figure rising amidst the ashes of the Old World Order.
Many would be captivated by his promises of peace and prosperity, safety and security!
Ha! But God’s faithful Remnant will discern The Truth and not be drawn in.
They would be armed with The Discernment of The Spirit, ready to counter every lie with the unshakeable Truth of God!
Friends get ready!
Stay in the place of ascension. Do not be tempted to come down from the Wall in this hour of great upheaval and great shaking!
Blessings to you all.

Three leaders’ teaching and impartation sessions at last weekend’s national prophetic conference were truly very powerful, as briefly related in the previous post.
Time for the Church to RoarRise of Holy Breakers & Disrupters to Challange Religious Structures.Acceleration of the Church into MaturityShifting Away from the ‘Pastor/Teacher’ Model of Church into 5 FoyldTime for the Growth of House Church.Shifting & Change for the Church. Reformation Level Change.
In addition to Veronika West’s prolific Facebook posts it was valuable hearing her deep insights into the Lord’s shaking, removing and restoring the nations to their foundations in Him.
What I particularly took on-board in view of a persistent inkling for going higher beyond blogging, was her frequent emphasis upon “TARRY!” – get closer and spend longer with the Lord and be consecrated; similarly to the disciples’ obedience to Jesus’ command prior to His Ascension and release of the Holy Spirit.
Veronika told delegates to open our Bibles at Luke 24:49 and I was STUNNED to find the words she stressed about ‘tarrying’ – “stay…until” – are already underlined in my pocket Bible, as shown below (NIV 1996, so I’d marked them many years ago):
NOW, I note especially verse 45 on Jesus opening the disciples’ minds to understand the Scriptures!
Moreover, in Veronika’s explanations of what she believes the Lord will soon be bringing about, I pointed out all this may relate to the astonishing vision of Britain that renowned healing evangelist Smith Wigglesworth was given in 1947 (my birth year). I was blessed to witness his prayer partner experiencing it too, as recounted in my email 26 May 2011:
SMITH-WIGGLESWORTH’s VISION OF BRITAIN (1947)
‘If it may help you to connect into this word I’d first like to tell of an event in 1997.
At a prayer for revival I had the privilege of meeting 80 years old Rev Norman James, prayer partner of the renowned ‘apostle of faith’, Smith Wigglesworth.
When this small group stood in a close circle to pray, Norman was less than a yard right in front of me. As he was quite short my eyes opened to gaze fully into his face and I couldn’t help but notice his eyes alight with excitement. A huge, beaming smile – he was radiant!
Norman could hardly speak, save to whisper,
“I’ve just seen what Wigglesworth saw – Britain in revival, on fire for the Lord!”
Ever so briefly he explained that in Wigglesworth’s 88th year the Lord had given him a vision of a future revival in Britain. He knew it would happen decades ahead but he so desperately desired to see such days. Thus Norman confided, “No wonder he wanted the Lord to keep him alive!“. But he just couldn’t find the words to describe its wonder.
Smith Wigglesworth’s prophecy about a coming move of the Holy Spirit in the UK, is as follows:
TWO DISTINCT MOVES
During the next few decades there will be two distinct moves of the Holy Spirit across the church in Great Britain. The first move will affect every church that is open to receive it and will be characterized by a restoration of the baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit. The second move of the Holy Spirit will result in people leaving historic churches and planting new churches. In the duration of each of these moves, the people who are involved will say “This is the great revival”. But the Lord says “No, neither is this the great revival but both are steps towards it”.
WORD AND SPIRIT
When the new church phase is on the wane, there will be evidenced in the churches something that has not been seen before: a coming together of those with an emphasis on the Word and those with an emphasis on the Spirit.
When the Word and the Spirit come together, there will be the biggest movement of the Holy Spirit that the nation, and indeed the world, has ever seen. It will mark the beginning of a revival that will eclipse anything that has been witnessed within these shores, even the Wesleyan and the Welsh revivals of former years. The outpouring of God’s Spirit will flow over from the UK to the mainland of Europe, and from there will begin a missionary move to the ends of the earth.
For a brief background see the Apostle of Faith on Jonas Clark’s website, or visit the Revival Library’s dedicated website for full biographical accounts and materials.’

WOW, we’re going ‘full circle’ in 17 years since what I heard about Bible fulfillment upon checking Jesus’ explanation of the wheat and tares parable (first email refers).
In my recent post on Why This Blog Watches American Presidents I state:
‘2022 – I learn Trump’s personal ‘MAGA’ mission SINCE 2012 is to remove corruption within US politics – ie culling the tares!> So, we’re both on the same page!!’
NOW, last Thursday Derek Johnson alludes to the same parable within this item on RattleTrap1776 Telegram channel seriously questioning events in Ukraine – not to forget the inexplicable missing millions of dollars – as in this extract (emphases mine):
“…What’s the United States of America’s linkage to Ukraine to be the sole-funders and fighters even though there’s zero troops deployed to Ukraine?
The ONLY linkage to the United States of America to Ukraine are the Department of Defense 2004/05 funding of the Biolabs, the 4 Executive Orders and National Emergency declared by Obama in 2014, Biden’s 7 trips in 7 months to Ukraine in 2014, Victoria Nuland’s security of $1 Billion for Ukraine in 2014, the same $1 Billion Biden said would be withheld if a certain prosecutor wasn’t fired (and was fired), Victoria Nuland saying ” **** the European Union” in 2014, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Mitt Romney, and Biden’s children working in Ukraine, making MILLIONS.
Laws and Orders invoked outline a Special Operation via Unconventional Warfare, Irregular Warfare, Clandestine Operations, Covert Operations.
The Swamp is being drained of the global alliance of bureaucrats, lobbyists and defense contractors as promised.
The 1961 Military Industrial Complex speech is now of the past as the draining of the clowns from the Pentagon and Department of Defense are now gone.
And all Liberals and Democrats are being separated from the Good of the world. The world’s watching the Biblical portion paint itself loud and clear.
All liberals are replicating the chaff with reprobate minds. And now their hell will be living in the world of the wheat doing what’s right and there’s not a thing they can do to stop it…”
By the way, I’ve inserted an extract from transcribed account of the outrageous media-meeting of president Zelensky with President Trump in the ‘Farago Conference’ section of this post:
Notes on the Lord’s response to attacks on His using President Trump
REMINDER (22 January 25):
Now today, as though on-cue (Q = 17th letter of alphabet) this posting pops up by Rachel:
In prayer today I heard the Lord say—
“The clouds of My Justice are rolling in!” And He gave me scripture, (Psalm 97:2)
“Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.”
The divine justice of the Lord is sweeping across the Land. For session in now in order! The Judge will take the gavel and He will take the staff— and we will see his righteous hand come down! He has not forsaken the righteous, not one day!
“I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” (Psalm 37:25)
Some have been waiting years and the Lord would say this day – “Your wait is no more as the clouds of My Justice roll in, you will rise and shine again!”
“For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him!” (Isaiah 30:18)
I thank God for this word and vision I saw today:
I was in a heavenly courtroom. While in this courtroom I saw lightning come from the Judge’s position as the accuser came to present the case— however, in an instant lightning came from the Judge’s stand, burning the papers of accusation and years of built-up demonic decrees and unholy archives in the room!
What the enemy has tried to hold on to the people for so long, the Lord’s gavel came down and said “Acquitted!” For HIS Justice is prevailing this hour and divine reversals are preceding! OH, the promises of God will manifest before your very eyes!
Romans 8:33-34 – “Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.”
Colossians 2:14-15 – Jesus cancels the written code (legal accusations) against us, triumphing over the enemy.
Psalm 109:6 – A wicked accuser stands at the right hand of the righteous, but God brings deliverance.

STUNNING START TO ONLINE DAY…. my thoughts have been on blogging a couple of prophecy updates
BUT upon booting up my pc and launching browser with tab of worship songs playing…
As it plays I open Facebook, which displays this posted 47 mins ago by Veronika West
47 = number of Trump’s new presidential term AND my birth year! God-incidence?
My PC goes on to play
And we ascend with one of my long-time favorites…time for Holy Spirit tongues
May you too be thoroughly blessed as we prepare for intercessory prayer from this realm….
NEXT, yesterday’s ROLL-OVER rolls on to The clouds of My Justice are rolling In…
REMINDER: the Lord has His GPS system; that is, Global Prophecy Signaling system, and uses it for making His Invisible Jigsaw.
Today’s morning devotional from Sanctuary continues David Strutt’s wonder at how Holy Spirit led and used him in urgent ministry to a pastor sick in bed that stopped his leading a service.
He was immediately healed and they both went to church, testified to God’s power, which then broke out in the congregation – PRAISE & THANK YOU LORD!
David cites Luke 1 and 4 on the healing of Zacharias and Elizabeth as well as Peter’s feverish mother as being loving gifts from our heavenly father.
So, in reading aloud today’s ‘Moment in His Presence’ I read David’s closing prayer:
“Father, thank you for this promise. I (we) take You at Your word. We declare it is the truth. Our souls, we declare to you, we will seek the Father for the gift of the Holy Spirit’s empowering! Yes, we delight to give lovely things to our children so we believe this when You say this to us, Your children. We ask You again ‘ Would You send Your Holy Spirit on us, and, please send Him now’. Amen.”
THE WARNING
Next, we broke bread and prepared to arise and have our quiet times, and I recalled yesterday’s warning on a clarion call for national leaders to humble themselves and then I felt led to return to reading the Book of Psalms from the start,
TWO PSALMS
Psalm 1 (NKJV) – note its dread conclusion:
‘Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he [b]meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the [c]rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
My New Spirit-filled Life Study Bible notes ‘perish’ as in Judges 5:31 in Hebrew ‘abad’ means destroy be destroyed, ruined, loss, fail as in ruination of satanic figures, and is derived from ‘Abaddon’ the demonic prince in Rev 9:11. (Perhaps same as what I’d encountered as ‘devourer’, as told in Searching for Truth leads into captivity under sub-head ‘Reality Revealed’.)
And of course, Psalm 2 on The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom is about the Lord laughing at all the raging nations plotting in vain and His declaring a Decree about His Son and concluding as follows:
‘Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 [i]Kiss the Son, lest [j]He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.’
TWO EPISTLES
It just so happened upon checking my phone soon afterwards I saw a direct message on The Fear of The Lord had been sent about the time of our devotional from one of the moderators of Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival, Paul Marriott, in which he writes (first two emphases are mine):
“Good morning Richard. Blessings to you my brother in Christ. The Lord has been impressing upon me that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the fear of man is a snare.
Then He also gave me: 2 Corinthians 5:9-11 English Standard Version Anglicised 9 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
The Ministry of Reconciliation 11 Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience.
I sense to pray for the fear of the Lord to come heavily upon all sides of the political spectrum. As Paul wrote too in 1 Cor 2 he vowed to know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. –
Here is that scripture in context: 1 Corinthians 2 English Standard Version Anglicised Proclaiming Christ Crucified 2 And I, when I came to you, brothers,[a] did not come proclaiming to you the testimony[b] of God with lofty speech or wisdom. **2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.** 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

PS (16:10) Paul adds, “Since we spoke I have just led a Zoom and it is uncanny how up to date these scriptures seem in the light of recent divisions too:
Matthew 6:6 – New King James Version 6 … you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
2 Timothy 2:1-7 – NIV UK – The appeal renewed 2 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. 7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.
2 Timothy 2:14-19 – NIV UK – Dealing with false teachers 14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarrelling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ‘The Lord knows those who are his,’ and, ‘Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.’
2 Timothy 2:22-26 – NIV UK – 22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
Acts 28:27; 30-31 – NKJV – 27 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.” ’ 30 Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, 31 preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him.”
PPS (16:30) Paul replies: “I love how our thinking and leading dovetailed between yours, Nina’s & my own leading(s) this morning and then the fruit of my afternoon scriptures.”
“Yes, absolutely, WOW what a day and especially hearing President Zelensky wrote a letter to President Trump on conciliatory lines. It begins to sound like our prayers uttered, with the fear of the Lord at the centre, are, by God’s grace, starting to move the spiritual atmosphere from ‘spat’ to ‘reconciliation’. Lord, please continue to show us how to pray in accordance with Your Word and Your will! Amen”
MOREOVER, it ROLLS OVER into the next day’s posts >>>
So today, in the early hours of the morning, I was awoken from a deep sleep to a loud and clear sound in the Spirit realm as I heard these Words,
”Daughter Arise! Watch! Have I not told you that everything is Spiritual?
I say look — and look again! Listen — and incline your ear!
For a Trumpet Sound has been released from The Court-Room of Heaven — a Clarion Call — first to My Church, and then to the Governments of the Earth — and to the stiff-necked and rebellious leaders who have puffed out their chests, put their noses into the air, and stretched out their hands unto greater destruction and more corruption!
I say unto them, bow your knee and your stiff necks before Me — or they shall be broken!
I say, take a humble position! Go low and seek My Face for mercy in true repentance, before its too late!
Daughter, tell My Remnant to Watch and Pray — for I tell you again, this is a Kairos Time for Nations in The Valley of Decision.
Look up — for The Whirlwind of My Seven Spirits now comes upon Nations on the Threshing Floor, to sift and to separate, to scatter and to gather, to divide and to conquer!
Yes! For the Hour of Divine Distinction has come to The Nations!
Watch — for I tell you — the Books of the Destiny of Nations shall now be opened and the Scales of Justice shall be balanced!
Watch — as the Sword falls and the Sickle flies — for the Hour of Divine Removal has surely come to those who have chosen to turn and blind eye, to deafen their ears, and to defy The Living God!
For I tell you, their end shall be swift and their reward shall be great — as a millstone — a heavy yoke of Iron — shall be placed around their necks and they shall be drowned in the depths!
Listen! I say again to The Nation of Ukraine — take a humble position!
I say to The Nations of The United Kingdom — take a humble position — before your throne is uprooted and your streets given over to greater darkness, destruction and ruin!
I say to The Nation of Russia — take a humble position — before you are given over to even greater delusion, and become prey for the great Red Dragon.
I say to The Nation(s) of The United States — to My David on the Throne — take a humble position — for many ancient and uncircumcised Goliaths have now arisen!
I say to The Nations of Europe — take a humble position! Come quickly to The Altar and seek after Me.
Turn from your altars of Baal and child sacrifices!
Turn and Repent from your perversion and your wicked Ways — and I shall have Mercy upon thee and set you Free!
I say again to stiff-necked Nations and their Rebellious Leaders who have gone their own way — tick-tock, tick-tock — go the hands of Eternity’s Clock!
Turn and repent — for the Righteous Redemption and Great Restoration for Prodigal Nations that come to their senses!”
Blessings to you all.

MUST READ TO WEIGH & PRAY – per HIS KINGDOM PROPHECY:
“Again I Say to My Remnant — Watch and Pray, as Nations begin to Realign, for the Day of Righteous Reckoning has surely begun for NATO Nations that have run out of time!” [Emphasis RB per recent Reckoning posts.]
So, a few weeks ago while I was praying, I saw the Nation of The United Kingdom. God spoke to me about a “great unravelling” that had begun.
A few days ago, again in prayer, I was shown The United Kingdom walking a tight rope, and then
I heard The Spirit say: “Watch for a Balancing Act — and a great Unravelling has begun!
Listen and pay attention — for the Prodigal Nation must come to its senses and seek Redemption.
I say, it is time to “Turn and Return” and to come out from among them, and separate yourselves!
Look! For the writing is on the wall: “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN”*
For I have numbered the days of the Kingdom of Belshazzar and brought it to an end.
Behold! Self-Appointed Kings of The Nations have been weighed in the balance and found wanting.
Watch closely! As NATO Nations — once united — shall become divided!
For signs in the Heavens herald a Divine Realignment of Nations on the Earth.
For even as the plumbline has fallen, so too has the Sword of the Great Peace-Maker fallen upon The Nations!
Look! For My Hand of Justice and Righteousness will move to divide and conquer — divide and conquer!
So I say Brace! Brace for even greater shakings that will bring Nations into a time of even greater Awakening!
Again I say to My Remnant — Watch and Pray — as Nations begin to Realign, for the Day of Righteous Reckoning has surely begun for NATO Nations that have run out of time!”
In light of all that is unfolding on the Global stage, I want to repost this Warning again as it gives vital prayer Strategies for the hour.
22.9.22 URGENT WARNING:
A THREAT OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND A SNARE & TRAP SET FOR THE BEAR
*“They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone. In the same hour the fingers of a man’s hand appeared and wrote opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace; and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Then the king’s countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his hips were loosened and his knees knocked against each other……
……. And this is the inscription that was written: ]MENE, MENE, ]TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.” Daniel 5:4-6,25-28
Blessings to you all.

PS (RB) The latter part wasn’t previously re-published herein for I did not want its dread warning to act by way of a prophetic declaration, being my birthday (with double 22).
In online discussion about current events and President Trump’s character, plus relaying the Lord’s Urgent Warning to the Church Against Hatred (Matt 5:22 and Trump), I was asked why I’m “so zealous” for him.
My interest has arisen from what I’ve learned during my writing ‘assignment’ – and my prophetical background gives a fuller perspective – plus a revelatory ‘authority’ of two occasions of strong Holy Spirit reaction upon my dear wife, and which gets replayed!
So, my interest in Trump is not based solely on what prophets heard from the Lord.
BACKGROUND
Mid-1980s – as recounted in Bio Info’s section ‘Grabbed By An Invisible Hand’, whilst flicking through a book I’d been given as trustee of a New Age group, a documentary on TV uncannily showed a directly relevant event of Iranian and Iraqi elite units rehearsing the storming of Jerusalem!
1989 – months after attending Billy Graham crusade I shut the door to the Gospel but that very night a Visitation from Jesus in person brought an ‘illumination of conscience’ in a near-death experience; recounted in Jesus Freed Me! I began attending Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist), Reading.
1994-5 – Seeking cleansing from that group, I received ministry and acceptance for training in healing and deliverance. Also, I was baptised in the Holy Spirit. Later, I learned about prophecy and received personal prophecies, including on writing.
2001 – During advanced ministry training (incl SRA, satanic ritual abuse) I heard about William Koenig’s news coverage of the Middle-East in World Watch Daily (accredited Christian journalist with the White House press-room).
2005 – Having had two open visions (here and here) I sought advice and attend Revd Dr Sharon Stone’s prophecy masterclass in Bath City Church and her regular meetings.
ASSIGNMENT
2008 – ‘Watching’ began seriously after opening my Bible to check Matthew 13’s parable of wheat and tares only to hear: “This is ALL about to be fulfilled” – WOWEE!!
2009 – So I email friends and follow up Obama’s Middle-East policies, as well as receive a confirmatory ‘Daniel’ prophetic word from Canada’s Isabel Allum. Writing goes public with Richard’s Watch in November 2011. (See New Here?)
2016 – “LORD are You starting to expose political corruption?” (ie ripening tares) I ask upon reading of investigations into Trump’s finances as the GOP presidential nominee. So, follow closely ‘RussiaGate’ hoax impeachments and ongoing ‘lawfare’ against him. That prophetical query has since proven most affirmative with over 600 updates!!
2016-25 – I note many prophets hear the Lord on America’s politics, especially a friend previously from my Reading church and of which 24 are proven accurate on Trump.
2020 – White House contact explains deep flaws in US elections makes them open to manipulation and fraud; contact with algorithm expert who has to go ‘under the radar’.
2022 – I learn of Trump’s personal ‘MAGA’ mission SINCE 2012 is to remove corruption within US politics: ie. culling Matthew 13 tares! > So, he and I are on the same page!!
2024 – Many other prophets have also been vindicated by US election results.
2020 & 2025 – Nina doesn’t follow news or prophecy, yet can get tangible ‘sizzles’ of the Holy Spirit upon seeing Donald Trump. First, when a friend sent a video clip of him and Melania on the White House balcony at Christmas 2020. Nina got head-to-toe power surges and saw a glory-light surround them.
In January 2025 upon returning home whilst I watched BBC live broadcast from the US Capitol Washington, Nina walked into the room and toward the TV precisely when Donald Trump emerged through curtains in the Rotunda to walk towards podium for his Inauguration as POTUS 47 – a mirror-action and Nina almost fell as Holy Spirit surged rapidly again through her.
NB: by way of confirmation the ‘sizzles’ return whenever Nina talks of what happened!
Note, it also brings the ‘fear’ of the Lord and ‘knowing’ that accusations of his serving evil equate to the unpardonable sin because the Lord is using him.
Moreover, as at the end of this post, whilst telling a friend of both those God-incidents he too got ‘hit’!! Thus, another divine confirmation
Hope this gives an idea of what I believe the Lord is doing in this Biblical battle of good against evil that many prophets are perceiving, and why I’m keen to inform my friends and brothers in the Lord.
VALIDATION
The screenshot below posted this morning on Facebook’s Donald Trump 4 President says it all, as well as confirming the real reason behind his success in exposing and clearing out the demonic deep-state is to fulfill Jesus’ Matthew 13 parable that started my writing on End-times > REMOVAL OF SATANIC SEED SOWN IN JESUS’ FIELD…
“The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
[Unplanned finish and published 17:00]
The first meeting of President Trump’s full Cabinet was broadcast to the world at 11:43 Washington D.C. time and shown live on BBC News (available on iPlayer ). After a brief introduction the President invited everyone to join in prayer (16:45 UK time) as he says,
“A couple of staff people will say a few things, but most important (turning around) where are you? This gentleman who’s going places, you all know him, Scott, you’re going to say grace..Thank you very much..”
Therefore Secretary Scott Turner leads President Trump’s Cabinet in prayer, as follows:
“Let’s pray. Father, we thank You for this awesome privilege, Father, to be in Your presence. God, thank You that You’ve allowed us to see this day.
The Bible says that Your mercies are new every morning, and Father God, we give You the glory and the honor. Thank You God for President Trump, Father, for appointing us, Father God, thank You for anointing us to do this job.
Father, we pray You will give the President, the Vice President wisdom, Father God, as they lead. Father, I pray for all of my colleagues that are here around the table and in this room. Lord God, we pray that we would lead with a righteous clarity, Father God, as we serve the people of this country in every perspective agency, every job that we have. Father, we would humble ourselves before You and we would lead in a manner You’ve called us to lead and to serve. Father, the Bible says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”
Well, Father, we today honor You and Your rightful place. Father, thank You for giving us this opportunity to restore faith in this country and be a blessing to the people of America. And Lord God, today in our meeting, we pray that You will be glorified in our conversation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
“That was a very good job you did – you’ve done that before!” quips the President amid laughter.
It really is important (globally) to keep him and family in our prayers.
OH THAT WE COULD AND WILL HAVE THIS IN BRITAIN – BRING IT ON LORD!

ANTI FREE-SPEECH, THOUGHT POLICING IN ACTION!!
PLEASE SHARE FAR & WIDE:
Scrolling through titles of my 84 posts with Fbook tag I find this removal of my legitimate posting makes for Richards Watch 13th ‘Badge of Honour’
The previous post asking about Donald Trump’s heart for the Kingdom arose out of an online debate on whether or not he is really a Christian, and it was pointed out to look for the fruit. Hence the focus upon fruit in that post, BUT I was inwardly prodded that as we’re examining real tangible fruit, then it has grown upon a tree which has a trunk and roots!! So, I inserted brief paragraphs as such by way of connection. Only afterward did I recall Veronika had a dream of a chopped down oak tree and Trump.
Now TWO further aspects. Scripturally, as mentioned in yesterday’s message on Holy Spirit and US: Our Character. Perhaps the earliest document after Jesus’ ascension is by Paul written around 55 AD to the Galatian church. Centuries later when the Holy Bible became numerical for ease of reference, we read in its fifth chapter (BibleGateway):
1 – WALKING IN THE SPIRIT GROWS FRUIT
16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: [d]adultery, [e]fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, [f]murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 [g]gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
AND, let’s not forget that the Lord is the God of Righteousness and Justice!
2 – PROPHETIC DREAM OF TRUMP’S TREE TRASHED…BUT…
The topic of this prophetic dream received by Veronika West was to find confirmation in what Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets subsequently brought. The extract below is for information but please read in full at His Kingdom Prophecy links to understand the whole:
THE PLANTING OF THE LORD – 17 August 2021 (extract)
“Today I am led to share a snippet of my time with Abba this morning. I share for the purpose of serious prayer and intercession. America.. America, I AM standing in the midst of the Trees of the great Forest of Nations and I hear the piercing sound of deep cracking in the midst of a loud sound of the hacking of axes, but I hear The Spirit say, ”Beloved, listen! Do you hear it?”
Suddenly I feel the ground beneath my feet beginning to tremble, and I see the branches of the great Oak Tree beginning to sway. I see the hordes of hell are unrelenting in their pursuit to destroy the “planting of The LORD”…..”
THE STUMP OF TRUMP SHALL SPROUT AGAIN – 8 October 2022 (extract)
SELAH!
President Trump shared a few points of his personal faith at the annual National Prayer Breakfast. (For whole address read White House Remarks document). He spoke about attending Billy Graham crusades and the unexpected changes in circumstances when God saved his life during that close-call assassination attempt:
From 22:40 mark (emphases mine):
“One of the incredible Americans whose memory my order will celebrate is also recognized with a statue in the Capitol, representing the great state of North Carolina, and that’s a man known — who everybody loved: Reverend Billy Graham.
He was something. My father used to take me to watch the “Crusades.” He would take me to Yankee Stadium. I remember it so well. I remember it more than I remember any Yankee game, and I’ve seen a lot of Yankee games. (Laughter.) Can you believe it? And Billy didn’t have a bat, so, you know, he’s pretty good. It was amazing. You’d have 60- or 70,000 people, and they loved him. They loved him.
I saw him with Franklin. I don’t know if Franklin is here. I just don’t know, but I’ve gotten to know Franklin. He’s done a great job with helping on tragedies, on problems like in North Carolina, California. He’s always the first one there. The work he does is — his father is very proud of him, I can tell you that. But Billy Graham was very special.
One floor below us, Reverend Graham’s statue stands with an open Bible, the page turned to a letter from the apostle Paul, which reads, “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season, we will reap if we do not give up.” Never give up. Never ever give up. You can’t….
…Never ever give up. There could be no better message for the leaders gathered here — and you are real leaders — that we must never give up, and we must never grow tired. We must never grow weary, and we always must practice good….
…A truth I confronted a few short months ago when there was an incident that wasn’t — it was not fun. It was not a good thing. But God was watching me. The chances of me being here — my sons are shooters. They’re really good shooters, Don and Eric. And they said the chances of missing from that range with that gun are — but Don equated it to a one-foot putt. That’s pretty bad. Two feet I can see missing (Laughter.) But one foot you can’t miss. It was the equivalent of a one-foot putt, is what he told me.
He said — in fact, he gained some religion. He gained — he went up 25 percent. (Laughter.) And if you know him, that’s a lot. (Laughter.) But he said, “There had to be somebody that saved you, and I think I know who it is.” And he looked up. And I said, “Whoa, Don, that’s come — you’ve come a long way.” (Laughter.) He’s a good guy.
But they my two sons just really couldn’t believe it. Had I not turned that right turn just at that time — and the audience — 55,000 people standing this way. There were just a few people in the back on the bleachers. There was nobody over there, except for my all-time favorite chart in history, a chart on immigration. Immigration saved my life. See? So, we’re going to be good for immigration, okay?
But had I not made that turn — boom — and quickly. It was almost as though a deer bolted. You know, they say the only way you miss when you’re a good shot is if it bolts? I bolted. I turned to the right to look at the chart, and I said, “Wow, what was that? What was that?”
So, you never know, but God did that. I mean, it had to be. The chances of turning, because there’s no reason to turn to the right. You know, the chart is rarely brought down. I brought it down maybe 20 percent and — 20 percent of the time. And it’s never on my right. It’s always on my left. And it’s always at the end of the speech, never the beginning of the speech.
And if I was a little more than that 90-degree angle, it would be no good. And if I was a little less, it would be no good. It had to be perfect. The thing went “shhh” right along the edge. It didn’t affect my hair. Can you believe that? (Laughter.) It might’ve touched it. Might have touched it, but not where it counts, not — (laughter) — not the skin part.
But it changed something in me, I feel. I feel even stronger. I believed in God, but I feel much more strongly about it. Something happened. And so — (applause) — thank you. Thank you….
…It’s like, did you ever see — you go to a driving range in golf and you’re hitting balls, hundreds of balls, thousands of hours. I never see a ball hit another ball. Balls going up all over the place. You never see them hit. It was amazing that that could happen. There was a lot of mistakes made, and it should have never happened. But regardless of that, it’s amazing that it happened.”

Footnote: POTUS Watch explains why I blog about US Presidents since 2009.
WOWEE this fantastic ruling against Church of England school illegally dismissing a Christian teacher for her opinion, is a most welcome turnaround in Britain’s as a police state. Maybe The Tinderbox Prophecy and confirmatory PS is in play!
SIXTEEN years less two weeks ago in my first posting, The Endgame Is Now In Play, I cite an exceptionally knowledgeable source warning of grave dangers against free-speech:
‘However, this is just one instance of the growing persecution of believers, principally through a policy supposedly promoting toleration but that’s now a tyrannical tool of intolerance – Equality & Diversity. There are other powers of suppression. Even the previous director of MI5 warns about UK sleep-walking into a police state (‘Abject nonsense’ responded a gov’t minister who lives on another planet).’
SO, here’s today’s news from Christian Concern (emphases mine):
‘Kristie Higgs has today won her landmark free speech case at the Court of Appeal.
In a seminal judgment for Christian freedom and free speech, the Court of Appeal has reversed a ruling which defended the dismissal of Kristie Higgs from Farmor’s School in Gloucestershire for raising concern on Facebook about extreme sex education and transgender ideology being taught in her son’s Church of England primary school.
The groundbreaking decision, handed down this morning by Lord Justice Underhill, Lord Justice Bean and Lady Justice Falk, re-examines and re-shapes England’s law on religious discrimination.
The dramatic six-year legal battle has been supported by the Christian Legal Centre from the beginning. Mrs Higgs, 48, was represented in court by barrister, Mr Richard O’Dair. (Continue reading here…)

On Sunday Michael Miles Bennett emailed as below, but upon preparing I realise it fits exactly with the Bible prophecy in my first post of 16 years ago this month, as above:
Dear Richard,
Previously I sent you a dream dated 1st October 2021 – which you added to your Blog [Published in ‘October Surprise’ – Mon 18th: Is Two Presidents Prophecy about Obama & Biden? as second of two dreams, updated in 2021 Dream of Biden and £ Note Fulfilled.]
I do not have such large-scale foreshadowings very often, but do both hear and see from the Father fairly regularly. I do not normally pass these on. However, after some consideration a word I received on 30th January 2025, does seem to be suitable for your Blog – if you would like to publish it. It is very brief.
“I declare that the globalist regime seems like a rock – as firm, as solid as a rock, but in reality it’s a tinder box, and the tinder will burn and the box with it.”
That’s it. I’m calling it the Tinderbox Prophecy.
Interpreting it was, at first, rather a joke for me. I felt that it was obvious that, as centre right parties rose in the EU, Reform in Britain and Trump came to power in America, it was obvious that globalism would collapse. Indeed, arguably, with the rise of Russia, China, India, the BRICS+ Economic group globalism is already over. But, it quickly became clear that such an assumption was incorrect. The Tinderbox word was not mere encouragement for me.
Indeed, it is clear that the globalists will ‘fight back’. The attempt on Donald Trump’s life in the summer was an example of that. The Starmer regime in London is another. The EU continues, despite opposition in various nation-states. So long as the Box remains – a cabal of super-wealthy individuals – their finances can be used to exercise undue influence.
One problem with this foreshadowing is that it is not at all clear how the global, historical movement into the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Tribulation, including the reality of global government, which then breaks up into the ten kingdoms can form, (if the current version of, what we might call, the ‘premature antichrist system’ of) globalism, is destroyed. The entire edifice will need rebuilding. However, if my understanding of the Divine Plan is correct, the current collection of globalists are being rejected – not least by the Satanic system, Daniel’s Fourth Beast. How we get to there, from here, is not at all clear to me – at present.
So, the tinder is the government and non-government organisations (finance, socialism and whatever else is used) that run globalism, using legalism, murder and force, at least in the West. The box consists of those globalists and their financial power bases that have worked towards creating the antichrist system pictured in Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel and two of the gospels. If the TInderbox word is correct, then the entire edifice will be destroyed – the tinder will burn and the box with it. That is how I interpret the word.
On Saturday 8th February 2025 I was thinking about publishing this Tinderbox Prophecy, by offering to your site. I quote from my journal:
“Thinking about publishing the Tinderbox Prophecy this morning when I saw the following:
“The wooden Tinderbox – a cube – surround and contained an image of the world – earth.
“This develops the Tinderbox Prophecy. It is not just the world that will be freed – by consumption of the ‘tinder’, but also the box.” MMB
I accept that the ‘tinder’ is already burning. I await the flames curling around the Box.
Yours M Miles Bennett
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
