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

Posted on Thursday, 15 May, 2025 by Richard Barker

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

¹¹Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— ¹²that 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. ¹³But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Christ Our Peace

¹⁴For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, ¹⁵having 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, ¹⁶and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. ¹⁷And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. ¹⁸For 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 Thursday, 15 May, 2025 by Richard Barker

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 Described 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.

4. The Blood Relatives of Jesus

‘In defeating Donatus, Silvester rejected only one extreme that could have spelled early death for Christianity. There was another that in its own attractive way could have been just as lethal. This was the policy of the Jewish Christians, who occupied the oldest Christian churches in the Middle East and whose leaders were always from the family of Jesus himself. Like all Christians, including the Donatists, they expected an imminent return of Jesus. Unlike the Donatists, and now the Romans, they shunned all worldly power and revolution, and were for the most part dirt-farmers and petty merchants, hugging close to their obscurity even though their first bishop was James, first cousin of Jesus.

Yet the issue that arose between Silvester and the Jewish Christians was nothing less than the whole nature of the church. A meeting between Silvester and the Jewish Christian leaders took place in the year 318. The emperor provided sea transport for eight rough-and-ready men as far as Ostia, the port of Rome. From there they rode on donkeys into the imperial city and up to the Lateran Palace, where Pope Silvester now lived in grandeur. In their rough woolen clothes and leather boots and hats, and with their earthy smell, they contrasted sharply with Silvester’s retinue of smartly clad and pomaded bishops and officials. They refused to sit. Silvester spoke with them in Greek-he could not understand their Aramaic; they had little or no Latin. The vital interview was not, so far as we know, recorded, but the issues were very well known, and it is probable that Joses, the oldest of the Christian Jews, spoke on behalf of the desposyni and the rest.

That most hallowed name, desposyni, had been respected by all believers in the first century and a half of Christian history. The word literally meant, in Greek, “belonging to the Lord.” It was reserved uniquely for Jesus’ blood relatives. Every part of the ancient Jewish Christian church had always been governed by a desposynos, and each of them carried one of the names traditional in Jesus’ family – Zachary, Joseph, John, James, Joses, Simeon, Matthias, and so on. But no one was ever called Jesus. Neither Silvester nor any of the thirty-two popes before him, nor those succeeding him, ever emphasized that there were at least three well-known and authentic lines of legitimate blood descendants from Jesus’ own family. One from Joachim and Anna, Jesus’ maternal grandparents. One from Elizabeth, first cousin of Jesus’ mother, Mary, and Elizabeth’s husband, Zachary. And one from Cleophas and his wife, who also was a first cousin of Mary.

Jews, and that included Jewish Christians, had been forbidden to enter Jerusalem under pain of instant death. That ban had not yet been lifted, at the time of Silvester’s meeting with the Jewish Christians. Silvester knew their history well. Jewish Christians had composed the only church ever in Jerusalem until the year 135. They left it only once in 102 years following Jesus’ death, just before the city’s capture by the Emperor Titus. Led by their bishop, Simeon, son of Cleophas, who was Jesus’ uncle by marriage, they had fled to Perea (in modern Jordan). In A.D. 72 they had returned to Jerusalem and had remained there until Hadrian’s ban. After that, Jewish Christian churches were set up all over Palestine, Syria, and Mesopotamia, but they were always hated by the local synagogues as apostates of Judaism, and always in quarrel with Greek Christians who refused to be circumcised and observe the Torah-things the Jewish Christians insisted on.

They therefore asked Silvester to revoke his confirmation of Greek Christian bishops in Jerusalem, in Antioch, in Ephesus, in Alexandria, and to name instead desposynos bishops.

In addition, they asked that the Christian practice of sending cash contributions to the desposynos church in Jerusalem as the mother church of Christianity, which had been suspended since the time of Hadrian, be resumed.

Silvester curtly and decisively dismissed the claims of the Jewish Christians. He told them the mother church was now in Rome, with the bones of the Apostle Peter, and he insisted that they accept Greek bishops to lead them.

It was the last known discussion between the Jewish Christians of the old mother church and the non-Jewish Christians of the new mother church. By his adaptation, Silvester, backed by Constantine, had decided that the message of Jesus was to be couched in Western terms by Western minds on an imperial model.

The Jewish Christians had no place in such a church structure. They managed to survive until the first decades of the fifth century. Then, one by one, they disappear. A few individuals reconcile themselves with the Roman Church always as individuals, never communities or whole Jewish Christian churches.’

Replacement Theology Revisited – Neil Mackereth

Posted on Thursday, 15 May, 2025 by Richard Barker

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.

The Lord’s jigsaw pieces confirm 50-day prophecy, cycles and Time!

Posted on Wednesday, 7 May, 2025 by Richard Barker

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:

…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…

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!

🔥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…;

RB: REPRISE (8 Sept 2016) re ‘The Hill of Angels’ in Pembrokeshire, Wales:

Vision of a lion – the four faces of God

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

Posted on Sunday, 20 April, 2025 by Richard Barker

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 Thursday, 17 April, 2025 by Richard Barker

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:

“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!!

Jesus Christ’s identity hidden in the Bible’s first sentence

Posted on Thursday, 17 April, 2025 by Richard Barker

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)

Posted on Thursday, 10 April, 2025 by Richard Barker

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!

Ten Scriptures Prophesying Israel’s Rebirth – Neil Mackereth

Posted on Friday, 4 April, 2025 by Richard Barker

ANNEX TO ‘STAND YOUR GROUND’

Easy-to-read introduction to the significance of Biblical prophecy 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 6^th 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 15^th 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 6^th 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 6^th 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 6^th 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 6^th century BC and in the 20^th 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 (6^th 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 5^th 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!

Stand Your Ground – Neil Mackereth

Posted on Friday, 4 April, 2025 by Richard Barker

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.”

RB Footnote:

‘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!

The Days of Elijah HAVE begun – Veronika West

Posted on Wednesday, 26 March, 2025 by Richard Barker

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.

The Days of Elijah ARE here – Smith-Wigglesworth’s vision of Britain

Posted on Tuesday, 25 March, 2025 by Richard Barker

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 Roar

Rise of Holy Breakers & Disrupters to Challenge Religious Structures.

Acceleration of the Church into Maturity

Shifting Away from the ‘Pastor/Teacher’ Model of Church into 5-Fold

Time 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.

Jesus’ End-times parable and Trump’s draining ‘the swamp’

Posted on Monday, 10 March, 2025 by Richard Barker

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

“The clouds of My Justice are rolling in!” – Rachel Emerson

Posted on Thursday, 6 March, 2025 by Richard Barker

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.

The Lord’s GPS: the warning, two psalms, two epistles

Posted on Wednesday, 5 March, 2025 by Richard Barker

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:

The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly

‘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;
²But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he ^[b]meditates day and night.
³He 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.

⁴The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
⁵Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

⁶For 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.
¹¹Serve 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.”

I say, WOW-WOTTA-DAY!

“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 >>>

BTW (By The Way) > during the day we had opportunity to speak over the and chat about the political aspect of prophecy. I told of Nina being strongly stirred by Holy Spirit whenever recounting her holy experience upon seeing Donald Trump enter the arena of the US Capitol, as well as a previous occasion. Paul said he was getting a similar effect as I was describing what happens to my dear wife – thus another confirmation of the Lord’s anointing upon POTUS 47!

Warning: A Clarion Call to take a humble position – Veronika West

Posted on Tuesday, 4 March, 2025 by Richard Barker

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.
