Then the angel said to the shepherds keeping watch over their flocks at night,
“Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the City of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord…” (Luke 2:8-14)

My dear friends, may our Lord and Saviour bless you and those dear to you with a revelatory and ‘Mega-merry’ Christmas, as implied by the OT Hebrew word ashar (Strong’s #833, as in Proverbs 31:28 on the virtuous wife):
‘happy, blessed, prosperous,successful, from original root ‘be straight, upright’.’
Better still is New Testament Greek’s makarios (Strong’s #3107), which means:
‘from root mak, indicating large, or of long duration…happy, supremely blessed, a condition in which congratulations are in order. It is a grace word that expresses the special joys and satisfaction granted the person who experiences salvation.’
This ‘Blessed’ is used in The Beatitudes, or the Sermon on the Mount, as recorded in Matthew 5. (Details New Spirit-Filled Life Bible, Executive editor. Dr Jack Hayford.)
May Christmas Eve, night and day be an especially blessed occasion of spiritual silence and insight for everyone.
Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht is an old favourite, always sending shivvers down my spine!
The above Graz choir’s version is ‘dedicated to all those who are not able to spend Christmas with their loved ones‘.
It was first sung in 1818 in Oberndorf bie Salzburg chapel. My father must have heard it during his residence in Stalag IIIA, near Dresden. Austria looked very attractive, even as seen en-route as a captive transported from the Battle for Crete (1941). So mid-1950s, we took many holidays ‘im Tyrol’ west of Salzburg, often motoring through there later.
Last Sunday evening’s Carols by Candlelight at 3Counties Vineyard was hosted by Helena and Andrew Carter, and to which he’d already announced,
‘We are theming the evening around “A New Dawn”. That the coming of Jesus marks a new dawn for the world and that as we welcome His gift of eternal life and come to Him, we enter a new dawn, a fresh start, a new birth.
This year we are focusing on Malachi 4:2: “But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.”
Andrew begins speaking briefly at 38:30 minutes citing the first two verses of the last chapter of the last book of the Old Testament at Malachi 4 (quotation provides the whole for context, NIV, emphases mine):
“Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. 3 Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.
Thus, the Lord foretells an especially significant time when all evil will be removed from the earth. It will be global, whereas the day He describes to Obadiah specifically relates initially to His dealing with Israel’s enemies, not only in ancient times but also currently :
“The day of the Lord is near for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
your deeds will return upon your own head.
16 Just as you drank on my holy hill,
so all the nations will drink continually;
they will drink and drink and be as if they had never been.
17 But on Mount Zion will be deliverance;
it will be holy, and Jacob will possess his inheritance.
18 Jacob will be a fire and Joseph a flame;
Esau will be stubble, and they will set him on fire and destroy him.
There will be no survivors from Esau.”
The Lord has spoken.
Jesus confirms that prophecy a few centuries later in His parable of the wheat and tares sown by Him and by satan respectively, as explained at Matthew 13:40-43:
“As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 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. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
All this takes us full circle from 16 years ago when sensing the Lord saying, as recounted in my email The Endgame Is Now In Play:
“So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not(let the reader understand) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains…” (Mark 13:14 – emphases mine – re Dan 9:27 NKJV)
NO such thing as coincidence! WOTTA-WEEK of God-incidents last week was! And which metaphor better describes it: The Lord’s full hand pointing out certain things, or His dropping them like pieces of His Invisible Jigsaw ??
It’s remained uppermost in mind, as though the Lord began pointing (index finger) at Mark 13’s reference to ‘the abomination of desolation’ in Book of Daniel, then (middle finger) I shared a reference whilst a friend brought a related prophecy, next another published an article, and finally I got the ‘thumb’s up’ from a third friend telling me of currently studying Daniel!
However, as with many previous postings let’s examine these five-fold indicators like jigsaw pieces being dropped and placed into the bigger picture, which we don’t yet see in its entirety:
1st PIECE – 8th Dec:
As reported with Adam Harding Willis’ spectacular sermon notes of Dave Wright in my Memorable Motifs’ on Mark 13, Jesus’ above prophetic statement is cited. At video’s 55:25 time-point Dave notes that Daniel’s prophecy at Dan 9:27 was initially fulfilled in BC168 when Antiochus Epiphanes (‘God manifest’) set up an altar to Zeus in and upon the Temple’s altar and sacrificed a pig thereon, thus desecrating the Almighty’s most holy sanctuary.
For history see Antiochus Epiphanes—The Bible’s Most Notoriously Forgotten Villain – Biblical Archaeology Society NB: Hanukkah (lit.“rededication”) is eight-day festival beginning on 25 Kislev, celebrated the Maccabees’ recapture of the second Temple from the Syrian Greeks, and its rededication, marked by the miraculous kindling of lights on a menorah or chanukiah. Only one small jug of oil was found for fuelling the lights and expected to last just one day – but they burned for EIGHT days!!
As ‘the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy’ (Rev 19:10) then His instruction “So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not, then…” is indubitably prophetic about this sign appearing sometime in the future. Thus, Jesus not only confirms the accuracy of the angel Gabriel’s prophecy to Daniel but also bears witness to its coming true, thereby establishing it according to the principle of Deuteronomy 19:15.
Our church team leader’s message closed by urging us to consider:
2nd PIECE – 9th Dec:
As that question would be discussed in Home Group I took a seminal book The Invisible Hand (1984) on geo-political history of the Holy Land to cite its reference to a later appearance of ‘The Abomination’.
As recounted in Bio Info, the Lord had put this in my hand and validated its content by what was being shown simultaneously on BBC. Its author Victor Dunstan examines the time-scales of Daniel’s prophecies and the ‘Abomination of Desolation’.
He cites Gibbon’s ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ regarding the outcome of the six months’ siege of Jerusalem (636-7 AD) during Muslim attacks against the Christian Byzantine empire and conquest of The Levant. Its Patriarch agreed to surrender on condition he submit to the Caliph Umar in person:
‘After signing the capitulation, he entered the city without fear or precaution; and courteously discoursed with the Patriarch concerning its religious antiquities. Sophronius bowed before his new master and secretly muttered, in the words of Daniel, “The abomination of desolation is in the holy place!”
Three decades later the Islamic shrine and Dome on the Rock mosque was completed upon a wing of the ruins of the Temple Mount. Victor emphases – it still STANDS there!.
3rd PIECE – 11th Dec:
I noticed Veronika West reports a “9th hour” vision experienced on 9th December of America and “Daniel 9, a stitch in time”.
As I’d already started drafting my post on Mark 13 and its reference to Daniel 9, as well as including the “abomination” remarks on Caliph Umar’s from The Invisible Hand, then in sharing Veronika’s post I noted the God-incidence, as shown herein.
Veronika does not refer in any extent on the content of Daniel 9 but we know it’s prime matter is the intense intercession and deep penitence for and confession of his and his people’s sins and rebellion.
He record’s the Lord’s response in sending the angel Gabriel to give him assurance and give him understanding of a the vision of an awesome Seventy ‘Weeks’ to “finish their transgression, make an end of sins, make reconciliation for iniquity, bring everlasting righteousness, seal up the vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy” .
So Veronika’s hearing the Lord, “I say again, for this is the Ninth Hour! Yes! Daniel 9 — For a Stitch in time shall save nine!” may well mean His answering intercessory prayers for America!
4th PIECE – 13th Dec:
John Barber, friend and author of Prophets of the Bible, posts in his series on Daniel’s four visions: (Daniel 9) Daniel’s Seventy Weeks
5th PIECE – 14th Dec:
Chatting with Andrew Milne as he prepared food at his and his wife’s party, I asked about his study for Masters in Divinity course and he mentioned reading Daniel and an exegetical exposition on Daniel 9’s prophecy of 70 ‘weeks’!!
We have a similar stance on the Holy Spirit gifting of prophecy and recognise its lack of appreciation by scholars of ‘classical interpretation’ hinders a full understanding.
CONCLUSION
My New Spirit-Filled Life Study Bible’s very helpful footnotes also cite the ‘Classical Interpretation’ of Dan 9:26-7 and close its three paragraphs on that, as follows:
‘The classical approach does not, however, rule out antitype fulfillment of the broader principles in Jesus Christ, in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70, nor in the last days’ rampages of the Antichrist. Daniel’s language is clearly eschatological at points, denoting a multilevel prophetic fulfillment. See note on Obad 15.’
SO, IS THE LORD POINTING TO OBADIAH 15?
‘For the Day of the LORD upon all the nations is near; and as you have done, it shall be done to you; your reprisal shall return upon your own head.’
‘Note: …The word ‘day’ occurs 11 times in vv 8-14. Now it becomes the day of the LORD, a season of judgement and divine justice upon all the nations around Israel. The OT looked ever forward to this time.’ [Emphases as published therein.]
I’d intended blogging this right after breakfast, but other matters delayed me – yet I note, as ever, it’s all in the Lord’s timing for my ’22’ has God-incidentally turned up! The next post will cover points of significance herein, meanwhile from my Fbk yesterday:
URGENT PRAYER SUBMISSION – THE NINTH HOUR: A DREAM/VISION OF HARVEST AND JUDGEMENT
So in the early hours of the mornings of December 9, 2024, I had a powerful and vivid Dream/ Vision in which I found myself standing and watching above a vast city, and instantly, by the Spirit of Revelation, I recognized the city as Manhattan, in New York City.
Suddenly, in the Dream, I saw two powerful Angelic beings. Both Angels were clad in heavy armour and were mounted upon mighty War Horses.
It was made clear to me by The Spirit, that these were Warring Angels, riding Warring Steeds prepared for battle.
The first Angel grasped a Sharp Sickle in one hand, while the second Warring Angel carried a Sword.
Now, as I looked at these two formidable Angels, I noticed that the backs of their horses were touching, yet each horse and rider faced in a different direction.
Please bear with me. The Angel with the Sharp Sickle faced the land, while the one with the Sword was turned towards the seas.
The Dream/ Vision suddenly shifted, and I saw a clock hovering over the City, and the positions of the War Horses and their Riders were aligned with the hands of the clock.
The hour hand pointed to nine, and the minute hand pointed to twelve, indicating the time: “Nine o’clock.”
In that moment I heard these words, ”I say again, the Horse and its Rider shall go forth upon The Nations, for a simultaneous move of My Spirit shall be seen, as the Sickle flies and the Sword falls.
Listen! The hour of Great Harvest and Judgement has come upon The Nations of the Earth.
Pay attention! Watch and Pray — for the writing is on the wall.
Nations have been weighed in the balance and found wanting!
I say again, for this is the Ninth Hour! Yes! Daniel 9 — For a Stitch in time shall save nine!”
As I heard those Words echo loudly in the Dream, I felt a wave of urgency come over me.
The atmosphere in the Dream dramatically shifted and a weight of The Spirit of The Fear of The LORD and Intercession came upon me.
In my Spirit, I could hear a loud Clarion Call to Arms.
We no longer have the luxury to be mere spectators and observers, but we are being Called to “Come up Higher”, to “Go up to Higher Ground” and to take our places and positions as Divine Partakers in God’s unfolding Plan on the Earth.
Suddenly, I saw the Angel with the Sharp Sickle in its hand point towards the land — and in an instant — past Visions and Dreams of great Revival and Restoration came up before me in the Dream and I was shown a great Harvest is waiting, ripe for the picking — yet the labourers are few and the soil lays fallow in need of the sharp blades of the harvesters’ ploughs.
But I hear these Words, “Prepare the Harvesters!” and suddenly I saw the Sickle in the Angel’s hand fly across the sky, and it pierced through the darkness.
Then I began to Prophesy, ”For the Veil of deception shall be removed, and the scales from their eyes shall fall, and many shall come forth from their caves and from the shadows of darkness and find their place in the Kingdom of Light!”
Now, as I prophesied in the Dream, suddenly I saw the Sword fall, and as I looked at the second Angel, I saw that his face was turned towards the churning waters of the Seas.
I saw that the waters of the Seas had grown tumultuous. Waves crashing against one another — and as I looked at the Waves, I could hear the desperate cries of many Nations rising.
Then I heard these Words ”Watch for the clash of kingdoms! The fall of mighty Titans shall be seen in the days ahead!”
As I heard The Spirit Speak,”Judgement is at hand!”I saw as the Warring Rider raised his Sword high over the Seas.
I then Prophesied again saying, ”The Waves shall rise and the tides shall now begin to shift and turn over The Nations. For the works of the wicked will be exposed and overturned, and the House of the Righteous Remnant shall Rise and Rule over the Earth!”
Suddenly, the sound of the Clock above the City began to tick louder, and each tick carried a strong vibration and heavenly frequency that resonated like a heartbeat.
I felt my own heart being quickened in the Dream and I could feel that a mighty acceleration over TIME was taking place! There was an urgency in the Dream that touched both the heavens and the earth.
Then, as my focus was turned again towards the Clock, I saw the hour hand of the Clock jerking towards the TEN (10), while the minute hand remained steadfast on twelve (12).
I then heard these Words, ”Watch and pray — for a Divine Order and Reset has now begun over The Nations!”
Again for a moment, the Dream suddenly shifted. It was as if I was looking at an hourglass that was draining, and with each grain of sand that fell, the weight of TIME grew heavier and more urgent in The Realm of The Spirit….
I then heard these Words again, ”Pay Attention! Watch and Pray! For the writing is on the wall!
Nations have been weighed in the balance and found wanting!
I say again, for this is the Ninth Hour! Yes! Daniel 9 — For a Stitch in time shall save nine!”
I woke up!
Friends, I hear a Clarion Call to True Repentance and to the place of Fervent Prayer and Intercession.
And for those who intercede in this hour, they shall have hearts that burn with an unquenchable Fire — hearts that will be filled with Prophetic Revelation — and an Understanding of the Times and Seasons and an unwavering intent in the days ahead.
It is TIME — to Call forth the Mighty Intercessors — to Gather the Holy Watchmen, for they hold the Keys to the Gates of Mercy.
The power of their Prayers shall shift and turn the tides of The Nations in the days ahead!
PSas I re-read the published version and get to closing paragraphs’ “And for those who intercede in this hour, they shall have hearts that burn with an unquenchable Fire’… this song plays on my desk pc “My heart is burning for You”!
Since the Lord stunned me by dropping “This is ALL about to be fulfilled!” into my mind and spirit sixteen years ago upon opening my Bible to check what Jesus said about the parable of wheat and tares in Matthew 13 – as recounted in my first email on eschatology The Endgame is Now in Play – it’s been rare to read or hear anyone who plugs that parable into End-times teaching, unless maybe within group discussion.
Could that be because it may contradict claims about the ‘Rapture’ or ‘snatching up’ of believers upon Jesus’ Second Advent, as outlined in Paul’s first letter to the early church in Thessalonica? (1Thess 4 13-18)
However, Rick Joyner, founder/director of Morning Star Ministries, refers to it specifically in his latest message on his examining the Book of Revelation.
First, a reminder of Jesus’ explanation to His disciples about the purpose of parables after they’d asked, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” (Matthew 13 NKJV)He answered and said to them, “Becauseit has been given to you to know the[a]mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.”
Then, when the gathered multitudes had left, His disciples needed to know what the parable of wheat and tares means and Jesus specifically relates it to the far distant future, the end of the Age (emphases mine):
“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 arethe 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!”
Rick Joyner in his Word for the Week: The Book of Revelation, Part 9 not only refers to that parable but also likening it to today’s returning to the depraved Days of Noah, The Tower of Babel and ‘Mystery Babylon’. His brief study begins:
‘We have been talking about the Lord restoring mankind and the earth. In Revelation, mankind falls to its deepest depravity before the Lord comes to rule and restore. He said it would be like “the days of Noah,” which saw the worst corruption and evil the world would experience until the end of this age. In His parable about the wheat and the tares, Jesus said, “the end of the age is the harvest” (see Matthew 13:39).
In this parable, Jesus was speaking of how the wheat and tares would grow up together. The harvest is when all the seeds that have been sown will come to full maturity, so both the good and evil sown into man will come to full maturity at the end of this age. Then, we will experience evil in its fullness—the full maturity of the sin of man personified in “the man of sin”—and the full maturity of the nature of Christ will be manifested in His people. This is predicted in Isaiah 60:1-3: “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. And nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” …’ (continue reading here)
As with Johnny Enlow’s Embracing the Golden Age, It is most encouraging to read a learned leader’s analysis that’s independent of overarching doctrinal direction.
I invite those who may be unfamiliar with the importance of the Jewish people and state of Israel in our heavenly Father’s purposes to read my dear friend’s incisive article, for which I express my admiration and gratitude:
ISRAEL IN THE END TIMES
Background
At its opening, the Bible quickly moves to the fall of man, brought about by satan’s lies and trickery. Then follows God’s sovereign selection of Abraham and his descendants, as His chosen people, and His everlasting covenant with them. The Bible continues with how the Jews became established in Israel, and the story of their triumphs, failures, trials and tribulations. The Old Testament (OT) prophets predicted the First Coming of Jesus and the events of His life, death and resurrection. The New Testament (NT) describes how Jesus accurately fulfilled those OT prophecies. The NT provides details about the work of the apostles and disciples in spreading the Gospel, evangelising Gentiles and establishing churches.
At its close, the Bible describes a time of great tribulation, before Jesus returns and satan is defeated.
All the prophecies relating to the First Coming of Jesus were fulfilled. That is miraculous (supernatural) and has huge implications for our appreciation of the many prophecies concerning the Second Coming of Jesus. If the “First Coming” prophecies have been fulfilled, we can be certain that prophecies concerning his Second Coming will also be fulfilled.
The Significance of Israel
One of the key events predicted in both the OT and NT, is the restoration of the Nation of Israel. Jesus said that this would be a sign of the times, i.e., of the End Times, the climax of history. The events surrounding and following the restoration of the Nation of Israel, and the return of the Jewish people to their ancient homeland in 1948, were accurately prophesied in extraordinary detail in many scriptures, written thousands of years before the events took place. In reality, the 1948 restoration was a response to the “never again” cry after the Holocaust. However, it transpires that “never again” did not mean the Jews would never again be persecuted. What it does mean is that the Jews have determined that never again will they be led to their
slaughter like unsuspecting sheep!
The endurance of Jewish customs, practices and traditions, which they maintained whilst scattered throughout the world for nearly nineteen hundred years, is an
incredible phenomenon. It is, quite frankly, a mystery and a miracle that the Jewish people and their national identity survived. Since 1948 they have, with God’s help, successfully defended their Nation from several attacks by seemingly much more
powerful enemies. Now, in 2024, they are again fighting for their survival.
Why Israel Has to Survive
Why has Israel survived, and why must it survive? The answer, in part, to this vital question can be found in the oft neglected NT chapters 9 to 11 of Romans, which focus on the importance of the Jewish people. The author, the Apostle Paul, was himself Jewish and loved the Jewish people, longing for them to see what he had come to understand – that Jesus is the Son of God and their Messiah. He hoped and prayed that the Gentiles in the churches he founded would recognise and understand that the Jewish ancestry of Jesus, and the history of the Nation of Israel, are foundational and essential elements to the Christian faith.
It is to this history and destiny that the Apostle Paul refers in Romans 9-11. Paul points out that the Jewish people are God’s chosen people. They are the nation whom the Father adopted out of His great love. And although Israel appears to have failed to fulfil its destiny, that does not mean that God has in any way decreed that His adoption of Israel is null and void. As far as Paul is concerned, once adopted, always adopted. God has made an everlasting covenant with His people Israel. The church has not replaced Israel.
By God’s grace, Gentile believers in Jesus are like wild olive branches that have been grafted into the cultivated olive tree – a tree made up of faith-filled Israelites since the time of Abraham. Gentile believers are now a part of faithful Israel’s story. Indeed, we cannot and must not separate ourselves from that story.
In this time of grace, the Gentiles can hear and respond to the Good News about Jesus and come to enjoy the blessings of the promises given to Israel, not least the promise of the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Paul speaks about a time when the Jewish people – his own people – will no longer be blinded by their unbelief about Jesus. Vast numbers will see the Deliverer from Zion (Jesus). The veil will be lifted from their understanding and they will then know that Jesus is their Messiah. As Paul prophesies in Romans 11:26: “All Israel will be saved.” Jews will come to believe in Jesus in such numbers that we will be able to say that the nation of Israel as a whole has been saved.
In summary: there is a time-frame in which,
(a) the Gospel is preached primarily to those who are not Jewish “until the full number of the Gentiles has come in”; i.e, until the number of non-Jews who confess Jesus as Lord is complete. That number, and the date when it will be reached, is known only in heaven.
(b) Until that time, there is a remnant of faithful Jews who are chosen by grace (Romans 11:5); these are Jewish people who have chosen, like Paul, to confess that Jesus is Messiah and Lord. When the full number of Gentiles has come in, Paul was certain that circumstances will be such that the Jewish remnant will turn from godlessness and
look upon the one whom they pierced and weep in repentance. There will be a great move of the Holy Spirit among the Jewish people – so great that we will be able to
joyfully declare the fulfilment of the prophecy: “All Israel will be saved!”
The Devil’s Rage
Hopefully you can see why the Jewish people had to survive. In spite of being exiled from the Land that was promised to them by Almighty God, in spite of expulsions
from other alien lands that they inhabited thereafter, in spite of periods of intense and violent persecution in many different places over thousands of years, in spite of the “Final Solution”, the appalling, demonic onslaught of the Holocaust (Hitler’s murder of 6 million Jews, in his attempt to obliterate them), the Jewish people have survived!
And, as already discussed, three years after the end of the Holocaust, part of the Promised Land was miraculously restored to the Jewish people: Israel was re-established as a nation, and Jews have returned from dispersion (the Diaspora).
Why has this enduring vindictiveness been so intense? Because satan knows what the Bible says, albeit he is blinded to the reality that he cannot win. He has been desperate to prevent or postpone the establishment of appropriate (prophesied)
conditions for the Second Coming. That is why the Jewish people have been subjected to sustained attempts by the forces of evil to wipe them out.
How it must torment and anger satan that the Jewish people have, against all the odds, survived his various onslaughts. Furthermore, satan’s seeming successes have proved to be failures. How he must have wailed when Jesus rose from the dead. How he must have wept when Israel was restored as a nation in 1948. And, above all, how he must be howling today as this tiny Nation is so vigorously and effectively responding to demonic atrocities perpetrated by Hamas and built on by Iran and its other proxies.
The End-Game
Satan is now provoking unprecedented world-wide genocidal hatred of the Jews. Many of the world’s leaders, and millions of people supporting the “Palestinian cause”, cannot see, or refuse to accept (are denying the truth), that a fundamental tenet of radical Islam is the destruction of Israel and the extermination of all Jews. Radical and apocalyptic Muslims see “ethnic cleansing” of Jews as a religious duty. Any compromise or appeasement with such blood thirsty and diabolical fanatics, however tempting the short-term gains may appear, would lead to disaster.
Satan is continuing his endeavours to ensure that there is no Nation of Israel to which Jesus can return. Things are getting ever more intense and chaotic, and satan certainly appears to be succeeding in rallying the world against the Jews. However, it is clear from Biblical prophecy that God foreknew the things we are witnessing. He has given us all the information we need to read the “signs of the times” and to stand firm in the knowledge that Victory is assured. Our certain hope is in the truth of the Word of God: He will deal with the enemies that surround Israel (Zechariah 12) and Jesus will return (Matthew 24, Revelation 1 et al), and He will take His throne in Jerusalem, as King of Israel; albeit there will only be a remnant of the Jewish people (Zechariah 13:8-10).
Time For Hard Truths – So We Can Look Beyond The Politics & Return To Biblical Truth
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, greetings to you in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. May He grant you the grace to both read and respond to this urgent message for the church. Continue reading →
Yet again birthday number 22…add up these time digits 16:06…and note Rachel’s further comment before we consider a reminder of Jesus’ instructions:
“Just like many Kingdoms have been built many will topple over and fall. We not pray for such demise, we rather pray for repentance and restoration.It’s not about this Ministry and that Ministry and who has 25k followers and who has 500. It is this — are you led by God? Do you follow His leading. He does not need perfect vessels. He chooses the ordinary and plain, the broken and those who suffer for His name sake. Polished up cookie cutter is NOT IT. Woke is NOT IT. Compromised is NOT it.
It is those who are led by His Spirit in every faucet of their lives. We know His voice because we are intimate with Him. The days of numbers and and fame, greed and fortune will topple. Let us pray for those caught in the webs of deception and let us pray for hearts to turn back to the Father. ~ Rachel” [Facebook official timeline]
JESUS’ & PETER’S INSTRUCTIONS
“Do not judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves. 2 For just as you judge and criticize and condemn others, you will be judged and criticized and condemned, and in accordance with the measure you [use to] deal out to others, it will be dealt out again to you. 3 Why do you [a]stare from without at the [b]very small particle that is in your brother’s eye but do not become aware of and consider the beam [c]of timber that is in your own eye?” (Matthew 7 AMP BibleGateway.com)
17 For the time [has arrived] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will [be] the end of those who do not respect or believe or obey the good news (the Gospel) of God? 18 And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the godless and wicked? (1 Peter 4 Amplified Bible)
JESUS FORETELLS FALSE PROPHETS
The Sermon on the Mount – Matthew 7 (Amplified Bible)
“Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it.
14 But the gate is narrow (contracted [k]by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.16 You will [l]fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 Even so, every healthy (sound) tree bears good fruit [[m]worthy of admiration], but the sickly (decaying, worthless) tree bears bad (worthless) fruit. 18 A good (healthy) tree cannot bear bad (worthless) fruit, nor can a bad (diseased) tree bear [n]excellent fruit [worthy of admiration]. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. 20 Therefore, you will [o]fully know them by their fruits.
21 Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord”, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name?
23 And then I will say to them openly (publicly), “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands]”…..”
28 When Jesus had finished these sayings [the Sermon on the Mount], the crowds were astonished and overwhelmed with bewildered wonder at His teaching, 29 For He was teaching as One Who had [and was] authority, and not as [did] the scribes. (Matt 7)
“And then many will be offended and repelled and will [e]begin to distrust and desert [Him Whom they ought to trust and obey] and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred.
11And many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error.
12 And the love of [f]the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity, 13 But he who endures to the end will be saved.”….
…21 For then there will be great tribulation (affliction, distress, and oppression) such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now—no, and never will be [again]. 22 And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would endure and survive, but for the sake of the elect (God’s chosen ones) those days will be shortened.
23 If anyone says to you then, Behold, here is the Christ (the Messiah)! or, There He is!—do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive and lead astray, if possible, even the elect (God’s chosen ones). 25 See, I have warned you beforehand.”
Lastly for now, a reminder of the word that got dropped into my mind like a rock over 25 years ago from Hebrews 12 (NKJV):
Hear the Heavenly Voice
25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I[k]shake not only the earth, but also heaven.”
27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we [l]may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.
PS. This has been in my mind many days and my intention was for it to draw a line to the matter of recent posts, BUT the Lord is drawing a line with an in-depth revelation that must follow next...
I wish to “Thank YOU” personally for taking your valuable time visiting my blog, no matter whether just to dip in or contribute to some posts, for I appreciate your involvement with my blog or visiting its Facebook page, or Telegram channel with extra prophecy-related news along with Prophecy Validations.
To those who’ve kept track with me for the years, thank you very much for your company on this unusual journey – AND wotta-week it’s been with a most welcome vindication after defamation by false ‘prophets’! Continue reading →
NB: DRAFTED MAY 2022 BUT NOT PUBLISHED – IT IS NOW MANIFESTING:
Let’s ‘take five’ and consider how contemporary prophetical words and visions may be assessed alongside Bible prophecies that are in play today.
In my humble opinion they’re working in tandem but it may be helpful to consider how the evil manifests according to chapters 7 and 13 of the books’ of Daniel and John the Divine’s account of Jesus’ Revelation respectively.
In Tuesday’s brief End-Times Alert on British supermarkets introducing facial scanning along with digital identity for purchasing goods, I write,
‘We’re well aware of satan’s strategy to prevent The Lord’s End-time harvest and thwart Jesus’ return to the Mont of Olives in Jerusalem by bringing about upheavals foretold in the holy Bible, mainly through globalists’ New World Order or World Economic Forum, BUT BEFORE the Time ordained by our Almighty Father.
Even so, we ALL need to learn about – and be taught by well-informed church leaders!! – what is now happening and how it lines up with scripture and accurate contemporary prophecy.’
A friend who’s the co-founder/administrator of a British prophecy group* challenged my lack of discernment of the actual claim, for separate cash and card payments remain available – ie. Only for the time being!
Nevertheless, during discussion with a dear friend and anointed prophet I write,
‘Good morn dear Veronika. Have seen news of further introduction of mark of the beast and will be posting on it in between our being out and about. It’s more of the enemy seeking to activate End-times ahead of time’
‘Thank you for sharing this Richard,..to be very honest the Lord has and continues to speak to me in terms of a Great Reset,…which is unfolding as a Great Spiritual Showdown,…TWO ALTARS, TWO AGENDAS, TWO HARVESTS…Yes! Two Harvests,..I saw that Satan has his own agenda to bring in a Harvest that will populate Hell,..Satan is not going into the lake of fire alone,..he endeavours to take as many with him into the pit of destruction,…I shared recently that Satan has REGROUPED AND REALIGNED his own demonic hordes even as God is bringing His Own into Divine Realignment,…let’s us keep in mind this BATTLE THAT IS UNFOLDING IS ABOUT “THE HARVEST”…it’s about Nations being Sifted Separated and Scattered,…Sheep and Goat Nations Rising. We are living in the midst of GOD MAKING A DIVINE DISTINCTION between that which is of LIGHT AND THAT WHICH IS OF THE DARKNESS, LIFE AND DEATH. The Time is short hence Satan has regrouped and has accelerated his plans to steal kill and destroy as many as he can. The Great Spiritual Showdown has indeed begun for Kingdom Occupation in the Earth. The Clashing of Kingdoms and the Clashing of Titans and God is moving to separate the boys from the men, like the Army of Gideon.’
* The group in question is the British Isles Council of Prophets, the leaders of which in Glasgow I knew through Dr Sharon Stone, and had often republished their writings and broadcast news of the Council’s launch in 2019. They were consulted in my drafting State of the Prophetic in the UK for the Baptist Union President’s 2020 conference in Reading. Regrettably, leaders’ personal political prejudices surfaced in their not wanting any coverage of prophecies on Brexit – which had been fulfilled anyway!! But who was I to dishonour the Lord, so I ignored such an ignoble request!
PS (20 Nov ’24): Little did I suspect that 6 months later I would need to issue this post for daring to blog against BICP’s dictat about political coverage, as in…
In response to the previous post on Strange Fire ministries arising Tony Puccio asks, “Richard do you recall this dream from a few years back?” and provides a link to his post of 4th July 2017 on My Dreams and Visions, viz:
I had a dream where I was standing in the back of I’m guessing was a church. I saw at the pulpit an individual introducing a figure who was supposed to be Jesus but wasn’t!
I saw the words, “false prophet”, written across the forehead of the man standing at the pulpit. Remember that this was my observation from the back of the building. Then, I was standing behind the false prophet and was shown those seated in the pews. What I saw was people who looked as though they’d been hypnotized or under a trance.
The Word says that the elect cannot be deceived.:
Matthew 24:24
“For false Christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”
The elect, as I read it, are those who remain faithful to the end.
Matthew 24:11-13
“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.”
Deception is a scarey place to be being that one who is deceived doesn’t realize it even though one shows him/her through the word that they are in error. Prayer is the only thing that can break this.
As to why I was shown this and not the people seated is because the Lord opened my eyes and not because I’m anything special.
In these last days it would be foolish to rely on any anointing and/or gifting one thinks that they may have and not on the Lord.
The scripture passage from Matthew i quote above follows an extremely important passage that I will post below
Matthew 24:10
“And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.”
Notice the steps: offence – betrayal – hatred
An offense not dealt with festers and then betrayal and hatred follow it afterwards. In verse 11 it says then false prophets will arise and deceive many. Offence, unforgiveness make one vulnerable to hearing the words of the false prophet(s). Remember what Jesus said about forgiveness. If you want to be forgiven you must forgive!
In the dream I heard, “Warn My people!”, which is the reason for the dream.

” Concerning a False Prophetic Word Targeting President Donald Trump ”
” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Amplified Bible, AMP): “Let two or three prophets speak (as inspired by Holy Spirit), while the rest pay attention and weigh carefully what is said.”
The Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (A.C.P.E.) is a group of sixty seasoned prophets who have been meeting for 25 years. Several of the names on this document are pioneers of the modern-day prophetic movement. The ACPE was initially convened after several questionable national-level words were released — prophetic words that caused great confusion within the Body of Christ.
As a council of prophetic elders, our intent remains to hear the word of the Lord together and seek God’s wisdom to apply 1 Corinthians 14:29 when a questionable word is issued that could bring fear or confusion, neither of which God authors. It is for this purpose that we write this statement.
While we hear various words that seem questionable at best, we have never publicly called out a prophetic word as false in our 25-year history. However, when what is issued is so flagrantly false and carries the potential to incite violence and cause division in the name of God, we feel that we must denounce it as such as a group.
Further, there is a clear pattern of disturbing false prophecies being released by a minister who many identify as a prophet. These prophecies are being released to a global audience via social media. Since these harmful words were publicly released to a global audience, we feel they require a public response.
We will present them one by one:
1. The ‘God Punched Trump’ Prophecy
On November 4th, 2024 — Election Day Eve in the U.S. — a prophetic word regarding Trump’s presidency was issued by this minister. Additionally, on November 5th, 2024 (Election Day), this same minister released a separate word connecting a Trump presidency with God’s judgment on the people of God in America.
Excerpt from the November 4, 2024 posted video:
“God punched Donald Trump in the face and his teeth came out and there was a lot of blood. And that was quite symbolic of what he represented. The word of the Lord is this, that there would be a catastrophic time of him (Trump) leading and then he would be removed by God because he had become the champion of himself and then Trump fell over. His partnership with unredeemed sex, unredeemed power, and unredeemed money had opened the door for all sorts of evil to be released through him.”
2. The Trump Presidency Being God’s Judgment Prophecy
Excerpt from the November 5, 2024 posted video:
During the broadcast, it was also strongly inferred that prayer would not change the outcome of these words. They were settled.
“We, (referring to the minister and their team) believe that Trump is going to be a judgment on the people of God.”
3. The Leviathan Released Because of Trump Prophecy
Other words from within this minister’s group have been issued during this time saying a seven-headed Leviathan had been released across the world and brought chaos because of Trump. We also judge this to be a false prophecy that is based out of a political bias and hatred of President Trump stemming from a political world view that differs from his conservative stances.
Other “prophetic” revelations and declarations presented in the same media broadcast were also very concerning to us, but we will not specifically address them at this time.
4. The Judging the American Church Prophecy
In addition to the “God Punched Trump” statement, this same minister has also written and spoken on other occasions, declaring that the Church of America has exchanged spiritual power for political power. While this might be the case in some instances, no one we know has done that.
Secondly, the inference that the American Church doesn’t need Jesus now because they have Trump is also false. The churches and movements that we know of, and there are many, understand that Trump is only human and God reigns supreme. Trump is not God, and we are not glorifying him as such.
However, we also know that this election was not only a national election but carries a global impact — in other words, this election had implications that rippled through nations. Hundreds of thousands of people in the world understand the consequence of electing leaders who are for late-term abortion, gender transitioning of children paid for with taxpayers’ money, and other anti-Biblical positions.
5. The Tyranny and the Fall of Democracy in America Prophecy
Excerpt from the November 8, 2024 posted video:
“The Lord says, USA, the days of your greatest instability in your history are here and are now. The Lord says lawlessness, America, has been released upon your shores… There will be chaos. There will be loss of life. There will be riots. This will be the culmination of years, and the Lord says you will see in the natural realm a Romans chapter 1, where there is a giving over to tyranny, a giving over to lawlessness, a giving over to the full force of the moral rot …
“God is pressurizing and allowing a pressurization to come into nations where democracy doesn’t work. Democracy is about to not hold. Democracy is about to fail. It is about to become not the solution that it’s been for many decades. Some of the economic structures are going to fall and fold as God starts to say I will provoke you and your citizens to call on my name.”
We believe the words, if acted upon by those who are immature or unstable, could incite violent actions against the president of the United States of America. (See example in 1 Kings 21 regarding Jezebel and Naboth’s vineyard, illustrating how an evil word — when spoken and acted upon — can come to pass and bring about severe and fatal consequences.)
We believe these words could produce a corporate agreement in a demonic plot, giving the enemy a landing strip and the power to fulfill the curse, thus bringing it to pass (Genesis 11:6; Mark 4:24).
1 Corinthians 13 strongly admonishes us to operate out of love. It is sandwiched between 1 Corinthians 12 and 14. The words in question do not reflect love.
Taking the Matthew 18 Approach
In accordance with Matthew 18, we have approached some of these prophetic voices with our concerns about these words. We asked them to retract these presumptuous and dangerous words, which we have deemed to have been prompted out of the wrong spirit. So far there does not seem to be any willingness to listen to the counsel of the voices that this person not long ago considered to be mothers and fathers in their lives.
Our desire was to address these issues privately and hope for a resolution that will bring healing to the person and the Body of Christ. Unfortunately, those efforts have not yielded fruit.
Due to the serious nature of the words being shared publicly — and how they could be used to either release a curse that one may unwittingly agree with or even inspire one to fulfill its violent rhetoric — we felt it was important to make a public statement about our views of these public proclamations.
We had hoped that there would at least be an acknowledgment that it was not wise to release these words publicly but rather to submit them to mature oversight and perhaps intercession. We are deeply concerned for the members of the Body of Christ who have been hurt, confused, and jarred by the context of the word and the dogmatic tone in which it was delivered. As a result of this grievous concern, and our deep love for this ministry and those who heard the word, the Holy Spirit directed us to issue this statement. In humility and in the fear of the Lord we do so.
Speaking the Truth in Love
We love the prophetic and believe it has the potential to bring God’s purposes into the earth like nothing else can, but we also are zealous for its integrity and ministry to be pure and ministered in proper protocol and wisdom.
We are praying for those involved in releasing these controversial and detrimental words and hope they will move in a rightful and mature way to heal the land and not speak division and destruction. We love them, pray for them, and believe God will move in their lives.
Let’s Pray
Father, we love your voice. We believe you have ordained a new day for America and that you will use newly re-elected President Trump to help bring this to pass. We believe in your mandate to disciple nations and ask you to help us to fulfill this commission! We love you and your kingdom and your people. We know that you love your prophets and need them to speak your word in purity and integrity as never before. We are praying for every nation to turn to you and receive your blessing! God, we ask that You bless us with reformation, revival, awakening, and a great harvest in this hour. Bless America and heal our Land!
During last weekend’s announcement by the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (see next post) Bishop Dr Bill Hamon – recognised as the father of the modern-day prophetic movement – made the following observations about President Donald Trump (transcript emphases mine). They confirm my series on his heart for the Kingdom of four years ago that I researched as a result of my church leader’s challenge about Trump’s beliefs:
“I say 90% of Christians know hardly anything about prophecy or how it works or how it does, and even Pentecostals (there’s) not that much knowledge on it…So we who are prophetic and have been in it for years and have gone through it and you know, and let me just conclude with saying I just celebrated living 90 years (of which) 70 years of ministry and I’ve lived through about five or six presidents and I don’t remember any president asking for prayer, having people pray for him and promoting Christianity as much as Trump has. And people that don’t know him don’t realize that he’s had a lot of prophecy. He had the church pray for him the other day and they prophesied to him, they minister to him and he receives it and and he’s done more for the church than any president that we had…He did more for Israel than any president we’ve had, and so to say that he’s a scoundrel like they did (say) and he’s going to be bad for it (USA), he’s going to bring judgement on it – it just doesn’t fit with the facts you know!”
Personal Perspective
I had the honour of meeting Dr Bill Hamon at one of Dr Sharon Stone’s conferences in Windsor a few years ago. In having prophetic words spoken over me in mid-1990s, recounted in Why I Write (re my eagle), I wanted to learn about prophecy and bought his seminal new book Apostles, Prophets and the Coming Move of God.
Having been stunned in 2004 by an in-orbit open vision of Britain, I needed advice from an anointed prophet and so we went to Bath City Church’s prophecy conference where we attended Revd Dr Sharon Stone’s masterclass. In 2001 the ‘father of prophets’ Dr Bill commissioned Sharon and husband Greg Black on their move to England and start Christian International Europe (CIE). Their teaching and ministry encouraged the growth of prophecy in British and European churches.
Consequently, I became actively involved in the prophetic scene and in 2009 started writing on End-times and contemporary prophecies before launching this blog 13 years ago. It was an honour to co-author a paper commissioned by the then President of the Baptist Union on the State of the Prophetic in Britain for his 2020 conference in my old home town of Reading.
The spiritual battle referred to in the urgent word received by Veronika West on Tuesday is no longer with defeated ‘donkeys’ but now against apparently ‘rogue elephants’ in the Senate, as in this analysis by investigative reporter Leo Hohmann on President Trump’s opposition (click image to read in full):
SECRET: If you were listening closely you might have heard Trump mention a ‘secret’ he had with Speaker Johnson.
It is abundantly clear that if Trump wants to put his dream team together he’s going to need to make a BUNCH of recess appointments. The Senate is unlikely to agree to adjourn so he can use his authority to adjourn both chambers as long as Johnson cooperates. Is that the ‘secret’ Trump mentioned?
Under Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, the President has the authority to adjourn Congress in the case of a disagreement between the House and Senate over the time of adjournment. It’s a power that has never been used, and its scope remains relatively untested.
Here’s a quick summary of the conditions that would be needed:
One House Must Request Adjournment:
One of the chambers (in this case, likely the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Johnson) would formally seek to adjourn.
The Other House Must Refuse:
The other chamber (in this scenario, the Senate) must then refuse to agree to this request.
If this condition is met, it opens the door for the President to step in and resolve the disagreement by adjourning both chambers.
Once Congress is adjourned, the President could use the recess to make “recess appointments” under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. This would allow Trump to install his preferred Cabinet members without Senate confirmation.
So yesterday, November 12, 2024, I was praying in my wee prayer hut, when suddenly I was taken into an open Vision, where I saw President Trump standing on the Presidential Podium.
He was about to put his right hand upon the Bible to take The Oath of Office, when I heard The Spirit say,”Daughter, there is a War raging over The Oval and Oath of Office!”
Then I heard The Spirit of Revelation say, ”Listen! Watch and Pray, for the next sixty-eight (68) days will determine the divine trajectory of a Nation in The Valley of Decision!
I say Watch and Pray — for there are many deadly pitfalls along this way.
Again I say, Remnant — Watch and Pray! Shields up and Swords drawn — for the road to Inauguration Day shall be marked by treachery, treason and great trouble, for there is a battle still raging over The Oval and Oath of Office — and My Covenant Promise!
So pray! I say Decree! Decree!! Decree!!! — and it shall pave the way and forge a highway that My Glory may come, that My Will may be done, and My Word may be established.
Pay attention! Be alert and on guard, for a sound has been heard in the deeper realms — a cry of the birth pangs of a Nation now in the midst of delivering, has drawn in the great Dragon that is now circling.
For I say, this is a Day of War for Divine Restore and Liberation from the ruling powers of Jezebel and the great dragon of Leviathan!”
As I listened, I began to pray fervently in The Spirit, and the burden of The LORD only increased as I saw a great War over The Oval and Oath of Office.
Satan knows that as soon as President Trump lays his right hand upon The Bible, the gavel will fall and a sudden mega-shift and a supernatural lifting and tipping of The Scales of Justice and Judgement will take place over The Nation!
Now, with these things still swirling in my heart after my prayer time, I went out to meet with some leaders in the afternoon, and not long into our conversation, one of the leaders said to me, ”Let’s pray for protection over Trump taking The Oath of Office — because that’s where the battle is!”
Those words served as powerful confirmation of what I had heard in the morning prayer time!
Friends, our Prayers in this hour and for the next sixty-eight (68) days must predominately target President Donald J. Trump taking The Oval and Oath of Office, for that’s where the enemy greatest threat and fear will be, as God brings a Nation into the fullness of its Kingdom Destiny!
Postscript
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, The President shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:—
Readers who joined the blog’s Telegram channel will have seen my monitoring of political events in Arizona relating to Kari Lake (FYI > her channel) and evil verbal attacks as well as vote-rigging against her gaining a Senate seat. Also, for example:
“A few more news items connecting America’s 2020 and 2024 presidential elections. First, this warning from Donald Trump that implies he’s still collecting the evidence of widespread fraudulent practices:.” (US 2020 election is NOT over: “Cease and Desist’, exposures – 28 October 2024)
Now on returning home around midday today I find Veronika West refers to Kari Lake too:
‘Good morning Warriors!
So, I wanted to resubmit a Prophetic Word this morning for prayerful consideration and encouragement.
The LORD took me back to this Word last night and I was warring over it, and with it in the place of prayer, this Word has many layers of Prophetic Revelation. But I found it interesting that The LORD is speaking again and highlighting the Word, ”A Nation in Divine Transition!”
This is a critical time!
We must Pray, Fast and Take Authority over the Storm!
♦ A Nation in Divine Transition will be tested.
♦ A Nation in Divine Transition must cross over to the other side without loss!”
America: Is Kari “Lake” a Prophetic Sign? First published, December 28, 2022.

Our mutual friend Chris Moyler comments upon Veronika’s Facebook
‘Tky dear Veronika.
Kari Lake’s election was indeed stolen both last time AND this time.
I continue to believe that this theft will be REVERSED, because she is so obviously the right candidate.
And may this reversal set off shock waves all over the US, leading to the exposure of the many other STOLEN seats.
This battle over Kari does not merely concern one US State- Arizona, it concerns the whole future of the US, and the future of global civilisation.
As the US becomes reestablished in truth and righteousness, she will once again be a blessing to the whole world, exactly as the LORD created her to be.
As she rises from the filth and dirt of her widespread corruption, she will become a beacon to so many other nations, especially the UK.
AND we will see the fulfillment of your ‘gold and silver handshake’ prophecy- an amazing word of hope for us in the UK.
So…..this fight over KARI has profound implications for us UK Christians.
God bless you dear lady
Chris’
Veronika WestChris MoylerThank you for your contribution to the thread ALWAYS an honour to have your voice here. Sending you much love my friend
‘This is EMPHATICALLY NOT the end of KARI LAKE’S ELECTION BID. THE ARIZONA SNAKES WILL BE OUTED- exactly as President Trump promised that they will be. I believe that justice WILL be done this time.
‘Trump’s former cabinet secretary and friend Dr. Ben Carson recently told California Pastor Ché Ahn that the president-elect is a “different man” since surviving the assassination attempt.
The near-death experience seems to have affected Trump in a way similar to what Ronald Reagan experienced after an assassination attempt in 1981.’
So writes Randy Desoto in his Commentary shown below (click image to read in full – or PrintFriendly advert-free version)
[Pastor of Harvest Rock Church, Pasadena, Che Ahn is also a Revival Alliance (UK) co-leader, as posted at the start of my blog 13 years ago this month – see below. As I write I’m playing over 2 hours awesome worship at his huge Los Angeles Outpouring 2008.]
‘In his victory speech Wednesday, Trump noted, “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason, and that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness. And now we are going to fulfill that mission together.”
“The task before us will not be easy, but I will bring every ounce of energy, spirit and fight that I have in my soul to the job that you’ve entrusted to me,” he added.
Like this year’s walk-on song, his election-night remarks reflected more of a focus on God and his fellow Americans, and less on himself.’
Click to play video “Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder consider all the works Thy hand hath made…”
The closing remark refers to Harris’ retort when an attendee shouted “Jesus is Lord” only to get the retort “You’re at the wrong rally…go to the smaller one!” as herein.
During Prayer, in the last 10 minutes, it was quickened to me:
Genesis 32:28 (3+2=5) (2+8=10) … (5)(5/5:10) … (5)78(5) — Jacob wrestling with God!
“And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.”“Genesis 32:28
I saw the Nation of America, as Jacob wrestling with God!
Then saw us as The Remnant wrestling for The Blessing, The Destiny and The Birthright of The Nation!
It was at the midnight hour when God wrestled with Jacob.
This is also the hour when The Church attempts to sleep and slumber — yet God comes to His Church to awaken her from her deep sleep and calls her to take her place and begin to War, Contend and Legislate for the Destiny and Birthright of Nations!
God is saying,”It’s time to awake oh Jacob and engage in this fight for The Blessing, and a New Name. For this is America’s last round, and The Birthright and The Destiny of this Nation, are now being violently contended for!”
What I find interesting about this Prophetic Analogy this morning, is that we often see ourselves fighting with and against Satan! But, I believe this Warring, Wrestling and Contending is more about The Church Wrestling with God — than the devil in this hour.
God is looking for a people who will not let go “until”!
God is waiting to hear the sound of a Holy Desperation that will bring forth a manifestation of his glory in the earth realm. (See related Word: “Where’s The Sound of Holy Desperation?“)
God is dealing with the supplanter in the Church — the pride, the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, the Celebrity Culture and the Idol Worship.
God is Wrestling with The Church in this hour. Transformation and Reformation of The Church are under way!
The Hip* of the Church is going to be broken! God is looking a broken and contrite people — a People who will Worship Him in Spirit and in Truth!
I see a Radical Remnant rising up in the midst of this fight.
I see the Nation of America will walk with a limp — but will be blessed — and called by a New Name!
I hear these Words, ”The birthing of a New Kingdom Era is now at hand. No longer a Christian Nation — but a nation of kings and high priests consecrated to Christ and to the establishment His Kingdom Government in the earth realm. No longer a Jacob Nation — but an Israel Nation who has wrestled with God — now blessed and called by a New Name!”
Note : Jacob spent the night alone on a riverside during his journey back to Canaan, where he is awoken and encounters an Angel of God who proceeds to wrestle with him until dawn.
In the end, Jacob is given the name Israel and blessed.
Jacob then names the place where they wrestled Penuel — (פְּנוּאֵל : “face of God” or “facing God”!
America, I hear the Spirit say, ”This is the midnight hour when you will come face to face to wrestle for The Blessing and a New Name!”
*“Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. ” Genesis 32:25.
Further to his fascinating paper on a Biblical framework for understanding eclipses, about which we’ve been in contact, Max Obeiden has now published an exceptional analysis of the US elections. It would be well-worth anyone interested in the middle-East and US politics to consider subscribing to William Koenig’s Eye-View from the White House and accessing this exclusive paper.
For the past eighteen years Max has been working as a top assistant with Koenig World Watch Daily and has a MA degree in Theological Studies from Liberty University.
Thus, he is well-grounded in the principles of meteorological consequences of political interference with God’s purposes for the land of Israel and His city of Jerusalem, as expounded in depth in Eye To Eye, Facing the Consequence of Dividing Israel.
So, in the early hours of the this morning at exactly 3:33 a.m. I woke to these Words, ”Tell My Praying Remnant, My Aarons and Hurs, that the arms of My Anointed Trumpet must stay lifted, and the rod in his hand, raised high! I say again! Tell My Praying Remnant, My Aarons and Hurs, that the arms of My Anointed Trumpet must stay lifted and the rod in his hand, raised high! For there is Battle raging and a War for Divine Restoration that is being waged and won. Watch! For this is a Kairos Time — an Appointed Time for The Nation — and a Scroll of Remembrance shall be written, and an Altar shall be built. For I AM Jehovah-nisi, The LORD your Banner, America!”
As The Spirit spoke those Words, I saw President Trump standing upon a very high tower, and he looking down upon The Nation.
I could see a violent and intense battle raging over the 50 States of The Nation, and standing beside Him, were what looked like two figures.
I heard these Words, ”Apostle and Prophet, King and High Priest!”
… and I knew by The Spirit that what I was seeing and hearing, was speaking about The Power and Authority of The True Ecclesia now rising on the earth.
The rising, shining Remnant with a Trumpet at its mouth, sounding the sound of distinction that will awaken Nations in The Valley of Decision to their true Identity and Kingdom Destiny!
“So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.” Exodus 17:10-13.
