It wasn’t a normal, vertical door but a trapdoor – and it was about to be sprung with yours truly standing on it!
In terror, moments beforehand I’d thought “My number’s up!” because I was suddenly at the end of my life AND shocked to realise hell’s below – AND, I’d be heading there – even though I used to think hell didn’t exist! I was wrong – oh so badly wrong!!
Being anti-Christian had been a serious mistake – but it was now far too late! Yet I’m now able to tell this true story; it is told purely for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
How did I get there? you may ask. And, how on earth did I get out of it?
We need to go back in time to the evening of 13th September 1989.
SEARCHING FOR ‘TRUTH’ BUT HEADING FOR DEVIL’S DOOR!
With a great deal happening on and offline I’ll try to be brief, and to say I’ve avoided a lot of alarmist negative words but been alert to how the declaration of the Fall of Islam heard in the heavens 33 years ago may be playing out over the decades. (See Part 1 and the ‘God-incidental’ posting on partnering with angels for background.)
So today…
Well-worth reading the full prophetic word to Zechariah at Biblegateway.com (ESVUK) in view of this earthly declaration echoing the war in the heavenlies down to earth:
SHIITES DECLARE WAR AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP AND PM NETANYAHU
On 24 March 2018 Charlie Shamp, one of the correct prophets on CV-19 and 2020 US election for Trump, published this strong prophetic word on Iran::
‘Again I heard the voice of the Lord say, “Iran, your deal is done, the foreign favours have come to an end. You have dealt harshly against my people Israel. You have sought their destruction and demise. I have seen your plan to tear Israel apart and wipe her from of the face of the earth. Your heart of hate has forced my hand against you and your agreement with America will be torn in two! Now you will deal with me in the days to come.”
‘In Acts chapter 9, Jesus appeared to Paul in a vision and told Paul to go to Damascus and wait. Jesus then sent Ananias to Paul. Ananias explained the gospel to Paul, and Paul became a Christian. Paul’s life was then transformed. He was changed from a persecutor of Christians to a follower of Jesus who powerfully declared the gospel through much of the Roman world. Christians should rejoice at the miraculous ways God is drawing Muslims to faith in Jesus Christ. And Christians should seek ways to provide Muslims with access to the gospel and the solid teaching of God’s Word.’
NOW, this is especially pertinent in view of what I’d posted earlier on Richard’s Watch Telegram regarding the Fatwa
“Join me in praying that all Muslim imams and ayatollahs have personal Damascus Road encounters with Jesus Christ, are convicted by Holy Spirit of their sins and thus a revelation of their post-mortem abode and that they’ve been lied to by satan. Consequently, that they publicly repent of their gross sins, renounce satan and ALL its works and attest that only Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life.”
Now note the warning our sister Veronika brought a week ago today:
PROPHETIC WARNING;
…I Heard the Spirit say concerning IRAN;
…”To My Remnant…I Say…You are My Pre-emptive Strike Force, so stay fully Awake and Engaged in this Fight…And Do not Celebrate Prematurely concerning the Nodding of Heads Saying Yes we are Ready to Negotiate…
…But Watch and Pray for this Venomous Snake will surely play dead, only to Strike on a bright and sunny day when all have come out to play..; So Shields Up and Swords Lifted,…for the head of the Serpent must be fully severed before there can be a Time of Real Celebration and Jubilation”..!!
“The highest religious authority in Shia islam, Makarem Shirazi, has labeled Trump and Netanyahu as “mohareb” (enemies of God) and has issued a Fatwa, aka a legal ruling against Trump and Bibi.
Basically, the evil regime in Iran is now commanding Muslims everywhere to murder them both. This ruling is a direct response to U.S. threats against the Ayatollah Khamenei and targets President Trump.” — BubbaNews

Warning America: An Unfolding Plan of Great Destruction!
So some of you will remember, I released two very poignant Words, the first in January spoke about the Wild Fires being a distraction to something far greater that was being planned.
God had me prophesy a warning of an assignment of the enemy that was also being formulated to bring destruction leading up to the Presidential Inauguration.
Again, I believe Prayer brought God’s preservation and thwarted the plans of the enemy, but, then on the 5th February after the Inauguration I received another powerful Warning where God spoke a strange word to me; FATWA.
At first I did not understand it, but then The LORD spoke about a FATWA — which is an Legal Islamic ruling by an Islamic Cleric that Calls for Assassination or death sentence.
I was shown in the Spirit that a ‘FATWA’ was being written against President Trump and that we needed to PRAY.
Today in light of the Breaking News on Iran, I believe this word is meeting its moment of manifestation!
I heard The Spirit say, “Watch and Pray — for I say this is a well timed Distraction from an unfolding plan of great Destruction!
Yes! A Distraction, from a deadly assignment that is already underway.
I say, Watch and Pray — for the 10th of January is designed to bring a Distraction to what has been demonically orchestrated by the hands of ISIS, HAMAS, Hezbollah and the Democrat Party,
Listen — and pay attention — for what has been carefully planned and meticulously crafted in darkness shall seek to bring forth mass Destruction in a time of Divine Transition and in the days leading up to the Presidential Inauguration.
I say, get ready! Assign Watchmen on the walls and set guards at the Gate — for the enemy has accelerated his pace to fulfill a fatwa against My Anointed.
I say, look! And look again! Shields up! For the recent terrorist attacks are but the tip of the iceberg compared to what has been carefully coordinated in multiple locations to bring great disruptions — and even greater Destruction by the hands of those hidden in plain sight!”
FORTY YEARS FROM WATCHING IRAN’s REHEARSALS OF ATTACKING ISRAEL, WE SEE ISRAEL DEFENDING ITSELF BY DIRECT ATTACKS UPON IRAN.
Biblically, number “40” is particularly pervasive and connected to the fulfilment of God’s promises, not all of which are positive; often associated with judgement, testing and trials; of which many are listed within Biblical Viewpoint website.
In my Bio Info’s sub-head ‘Grabbed By An Invisible Hand’ I recount a life -changing event of about forty years ago (mid 1980s) when I was not yet born-again as part-time editor/publisher and trustee of a New Age group in London. My immediate predecessor and who operated a mail-order book business said, “As you’re interested in prophecy, you may like this!” and gave me The Invisible Hand by Victor Dunstan (published by his Megiddo Press, 1984).
This gift claims the Bible holds coded and plain-text details of prophecies relating to the 20th Century British Mandate in Palestine, and gives historical details of the Mandate.
Now it just so happened (my first ‘God-incidence’) that whilst watching a documentary about the then current Iraq-Iran war, I casually flicked through the book and noticed references to the significance of Jerusalem.
So you can imagine my absolute amazement upon hearing the narrator on TV describing the footage being shown of “Elite units from opposing forces rehearsing an attack upon Jerusalem”
Despite being at war, they’d united to practise storming and ‘liberating’ the holy city of Jerusalem!!
So I watched what claimed to be a video of such an attack – my jaw dropped! Wouldn’t yours?
This book must be taken seriously; so it immediately grabbed and got my attention! Also, it introduced me to Jewish and Muslim history as a background to Church history, and devoid of theology and jargon.
Consequently, I became more alert to Middle-Eastern and globally related events, which suggest things may not be as they seem at first glance – or as reported in the media, and definitely not the BBC!
I was amazed to learn many modern events are of Biblical significance. Utterly bemused, therefore, I began to watch as events unfolded – occasionally and slowly at first, but rapidly and accelerating after the new Millennium, or ‘3rd Day’ since Christ, got under way.
Dunstan estimated all the prophecies would come to a climax in 1992 with Russia being the lead villain against Israel. However, he didn’t foresee the collapse of communism in 1989! Yet that year proved pertinent because the ‘Middle East Peace Process’ had just got under way in October 1991 and led to the Oslo Accords of 1993.
Furthermore, Victor accurately foresaw the resurgence of Islam as a militant force:
‘We are about to witness a mighty and almost unbelievable upsurge in Islam. Though we see the first signs of an Islamic-revival (it) has a long way to to go but it’s going to go that ‘long way’ very quickly.’ [‘The Invisible Hand’, page 198.]
Consequently, his seminal book has received a number of mentions during the course of my writing and which may be found under Invisbl_Hand tag.
NOTIFYING FRIENDS OF THE DANGERS
Not long after hearing “This is ALL about to be fulfilled!” upon opening my Bible in 2008 I began emailing friends on the ‘Endgame’ having begun and on ‘Not Many People Know’, and in May 2009 those two-part posts rammed home with Today’s Importance in History, wherein I write (copy email):
‘...Altho’ our gaze as believers is toward heavenly Jerusalem, it’s right not to overlook our God of Israel’s heart for actual Jerusalem and His covenant people. His intention and warning to the nations given through Zechariah (ch 12) still apply – and Ezekiel 38 opposition is moving into alliances. Hence, the world’s continual concern with Jerusalem and Israel.
Today, that storm comes to a climax as Prime Minister Netanyahu meets President Obama to discuss the latter’s 2-state solution for the Middle-East. You may know that this involved attempts to turn the Arab world and Europe against Israel, and to appease Iran – even to ‘blackmailing’ Israel over its nuclear defence! (It’s reported Obama wanted to be able to use Iran’s territory for supplying US troops in Afghanistan and Pakistan.)
Also, there’s been dismay in Cairo and Riyadh over his courting the terrorist mentors in Teheran. No wonder Egypt and S.Arabia – both kept militarily informed by Israel – and five Gulf emirates turned a deaf ear to Pres. Obama’s secret (and 3rd) delegation seeking hundreds of billions dollars investment in US and global economic stimulus plans! It’s reported, however, that over the weekend a political furore gripped Washington and frayed Obama’s key policies.
The Bush and Obama administrations’ misguided intentions are to establish a terrorist-run nation within the ancient home-land of Judea/Israel. The consequences for USA in betraying its ally Israel could be severe, as when Bush wanted to trade land for peace (as collated by William Koenig, the Christian accredited White House correspondent). The Lord gave detailed warnings of judgement in Nov ’99 which included not only last year’s collapse of stocks but also the betrayal of Israel by Western allies!’
Over a dozen private emails on Iran were to follow before I was impelled to launch this blog three weeks after asking Is Netanyahu Signalling a Pre-emptive Strike? My aim was to alert the wider public – with now over 220 more items.
One of the earliest posts gives a clear warning of the global danger off the Iranian regime:
SO let’s close Part 1 with what prophet Jeremiah heard, as in the 49th (7×7!) chapter of his book on the ancient name of that nation in the location of Persia, or modern Iran:
34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
‘Behold, I will break the [l]bow of Elam, The foremost of their might. 36 Against Elam I will bring the four winds From the four quarters of heaven, And scatter them toward all those winds; There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go. 37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies And before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, My fierce anger,’ says the Lord; ‘And I will send the sword after them Until I have consumed them. 38 I will set My throne in Elam, And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord.
39 ‘But it shall come to pass in the latter days: I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord.”
“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)
As ‘the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy’ (Rev 19:10) then His instruction 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 His witness to its coming true, and establishing it according to the principle of Deut 19:15.
In heeding that warning, nearly forty years later Jesus’ followers wisely fled Jerusalem when Titus’ huge Roman army besieged and destroyed the city and temple.
As told in Bio Info, the Lord had put this book 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.
Sophronius, Patriarch of Jerusalem, agreed to surrender on condition he submit direct to the Caliph Umar in person:
‘After signing the capitulation, (Umar) 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!.
Sadly, in ignoring the scriptural and historic validity of the Jews and nation of Israel then ‘RT’ aligns itself with endemic racial and religious hatred of anti-Semitism.
It’s ALWAYS fascinating how heavenly Father ‘God-incidentally’ inspires and directs us, even with a ‘double-whammy’!
The previous post’s double warnings on ‘Distractions’ and ‘NOT a Drill’ received by Veronika West regarding the present dangerous period for America, was met by my blogging buddy over the pond since 2012, Tony Puccio, quoting his double dreams of danger back in 2014.
Thus, the two prophecies Veronika brought confirm Tony’s two dreams of 10 years ago, viz:
‘I had a dream 07/04/2014 (US date) where I was walking along, not noticing anything out of the ordinary, when my attention was drawn to an area where I was that did not look any different from my surroundings. However, as I went towards where I was being drawn, I saw a slit as in a curtain. Had my attention not been drawn towards this, “slit” in material, I would have never seen nor noticed it, it was that well camouflaged. I stuck my head in the slit and saw a big table and there were men dressed in black, some without turbans, but most with.
There was an individual in the middle who had a large scroll and when he unfolded it on the table, I could see that it was a map of the United States. I then could see various colored push pins being placed on various locations on the map. I noticed a large amount of them, all of different colors were placed in northern California.
That is just what stood out in the dream, although there were these push pins in other parts of the map as I stated above. I did not hear any of the discussions that were going on, however, I got the sense that these were attacks that were being planned against the United States.
When I pulled my head out of the slit in the fabric I had stuck it in, there was an angel standing with a scroll in his hand which he handed me and I was told to go warn the others.
‘The morning of 07/05/2014 I saw a vision which is, I believe, a continuation of the dream I had on the 4th. In the vision I once again saw a field and again there was nothing about the field that would have attracted my attention.
Then I saw a man walk through the field and as he did I saw people get up holding machine guns. It was though they had been sleeping and were awaiting a command to wake up.
Once again, they were not visible because they were hidden by camouflage and unless my attention had been drawn to the actions of the man walking in the field awakening the sleeping soldiers, I would have not thought anything strange about what I was seeing.
Most have heard of sleeper cells among us. This is what I believe that the dream represents.
Please pray for America. This is a time for those who are called by His name to humble themselves, turn from their wicked ways, and pray and seek the face of the Lord and beg Him to heal our land. These are perilous times we live in and we need heaven’s intervention for our country.’
I didn’t recall them right away but Tony kindly sent my comment upon reading the posts two years later, and yet again my birthday number 22 TURNS UP TWICE in not only the date but also quantity of comments!!!! I should have kept count of how many times that has happened over the last few years. It just cannot be sheer coincidence, and strongly implies some significance! Perhaps a statistician could determine its likelihood?
Although Judge Merchan swiftly denied Donald Trump’s request against sentencing – as in previous post – and ‘unconditional discharge’ logically implies there must have been no real criminal activity, plus many top-flight ‘legal eagles’ being vociferously against Merchan’s rulings – our prophetic sister has received warnings to NOT be distracted from what many speculate the President’s political and religious enemies are attempting to engineer.
SO first, this is what Veronika heard on 3rd January:
Prophetic Warning: “Well-Timed Distractions From an Unfolding Plan of Great Destruction!”
I heard The Spirit say, ”Watch and Pray — for I say this is a well-timed Distraction from an unfolding plan of great Destruction!
Yes! A Distraction, from a deadly assignment that is already underway.
I say, Watch and Pray — for the 10th of January is designed to bring a Distraction to what has been demonically orchestrated by the hands of ISIS, HAMAS, Hezbollah and the Democrat Party,
Listen — and pay attention — for what has been carefully planned and meticulously crafted in darkness shall seek to bring forth mass Destruction in a time of Divine Transition and in the days leading up to the Presidential Inauguration.
I say, get ready! Assign Watchmen on the walls and set guards at the Gate — for the enemy has accelerated his pace to fulfill a fatwa against My Anointed.
I say, look! And look again! Shields up! For the recent terrorist attacks are but the tip of the iceberg compared to what has been carefully coordinated in multiple locations to bring great disruptions — and even greater Destruction by the hands of those hidden in plain sight!”

“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.]
Last Sunday, 8th December, it was a delight how team leader Dave Wright not only taught but also finished of with a most apposite, serious question to consider. Pens and paper were handed out for us to jot our thoughts, and use for later discussion at house groups, as shown below:
Dave shared photos of Jerusalem taken during his and Rowena’s pre-war visit to Israel and which made his tackling eschatology personally poignant.
His closing emphasis upon Jesus’ instruction to all His followers about the signs of the End-times and repeated injunction to “Watch!” echoes what I shared 15 years ago to friends and a few church leaders by email, as herein.
Moreover, it acts to confirm a few thoughts in recent months to reboot my prime focus and take it up a level – then the very next day by way of God-incidental confirmation our sister in Northern Ireland receives a Vision over Manhattan relating to harvesting and judgement, which I link in the previous post to Matthew 13’s wheat and tares parable!
Therefore, I encourage you to carve out twenty minutes to play the above video as well as muse upon the meditational ‘mind-map’ of sermon notes provided by courtesy of Adam Harding Willis:

Although published a few months ago Mark Davidson provides a useful situation report on how the ‘Four Signposts’ in the Book of Daniel, together with Psalm 83, may apply to the Shiite Islam war against Israel that began with the barbaric genocidal massacre on October 7th a year ago. Read about it in The Second Signpost Is At The Doorstep.
“Now for the main event of the evening guys. My phone was blowing up yesterday as this was unfolding, and so when I went back and looked at what was prophesied. Well my jaw kind of dropped – and you have that ‘oh dear God’ moment in your flesh for a moment when you see it – but there is some very serious prophecy fulfilling right now in the earth and in Iran. But I believe this prophecy fulfilling is going to begin to change the landscape of Iran which is going to affect the entire Middle East!”
Prophecy script as published in Amanda’s Ark of Grace website (click title)
“Before we get into prophecy–I am going to point out 3 events leading up to this.
Keep in mind this is happening within this 50-day window that starts at Passover and goes to Shavuot on June 11, 2024, where the Jews received the law.
50 is the jubilee, and it was the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War in October 2023 when Iran’s proxy Hamas brutally attacked Israel.
It was October 7, 2023, when the attack happened, May 2024 is the 7th month since the attack and the start of the war.
The foreign minister and 7 others are dead, there is that number 7 AGAIN.
50 is the jubilee, where captives are set free, what was stolen must be returned, and land must be given back to the people.
Big Ben’s hands freeze at 9 am for more than an hour before the famous clock sounds the wrong number of bongs in a major malfunction two years after it was refurbished.
I not only did a Live broadcast after this happened, but I did a short that is up on all our platforms.
And, I said when Ben stops (Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin)–Judah begins (David was from the line of Judah). I also shared that this was a sign warning of a major changing of the guard that was about to happen throughout the earth.
Also, because you cannot make this stuff up, right before the Kentucky Derby, on May 4, 2024, a horse is injured and taken out of the race. This horse’s name was No More Time!
Ben stops, and then NO MORE TIME is taken OUT OF THE RACE!!
5.17.21 [US date-style; May 17th] “The funneling of funds the channels that make a tunnel from Iran to Hamas shall be disrupted says the Lord of Hosts, and the advisors to the Ayatollah shall be struck. There shall be leadership in the hour, for this is a tipping point says the Lord, shall be weighed and unexpected strikes to leadership of those who threaten Israel, of Canada, and of the US, watch Germany as well says the Lord in this hour.”
6.9.22 “And says the Lord of Hosts, Israel is about to make a very BOLD MOVE AN URGENT MOVE AND IRAN SHALL HAVE ONE OF THE LARGEST HITS AND LOSSES IT HAS EVER HAD AS THEIR WEB SHALL BE HIT IN ITS CORNERS AND TORN DOWN, SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS. WATCH AND SEE AS IT ERUPTS ON THE NEWS AND LEAVES IRAN IN A VERY VULNERABLE POSITION. JUDGMENT HAS COME TO THE HOUSE OF THE AYATOLLAH AND ENTERED ITS HALLS, SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS.”
2.10.23 “And says the Spirit of the Lord this day,the leadership of Iran is on a crumbling pedestal and the innocent blood they shed is being accounted to them for their wage for their bridge is about to fall down for the people are desperate and crying out, I the Lord hear their cries and I the Lord am moving upon my firstborn to covertly assist the people of Iran as leadership shall be removed under mysterious circumstances as some deep within in the government of Iran are assisting Israel, the Bonhoeffer’s, who see the sheer evil of such leadership. I the Lord am protecting them and they are assisting Israel for a BIG STRIKE AND BLOW IS COMING AND IT SHALL RATTLE THE UN HOW SUCH WAS DONE AND CHINA SHALL PUFF UP ONCE AGAIN AND BE HIT IN THE CORE THAT DEFLATES AND DECOMPRESSES THEM YET AGAIN.”
2.26.23 “I, the Lord thy God, made the Philistines bow, I, the Lord thy God, made Israel bow. I, the Lord thy God, am beginning to break the back of Ayatollah, because Iran will bow. And I, the Lord thy God, am raising up a plan and a strategy in Israel that is going to surround Iran on all sides. And it is going to encapsulate them, says the Lord. It is going to encapsulate them and it is going to cause the handshake that was seen with a red nation to be severed and broken, says the Lord. Because demons squabble, says the Lord, demons squabble and you shall publicly, says the Lord, see that squabbling begin.
For I am calling through the darkness and the noise, Benjamin, son of my right hand. I am calling through the darkness and I am going to cause you to turn to my Word and to know in whom your salvation is. And he shall know it and at some point in his life he shall declare it, says the Lord. For he is coming under that yoke and he will be the ox for me, says the Lord, that topples the regime of Iran. He shall be the ox for Me that helps plow (sic) the fields in America. For your nation is meant to be a friend and a brother to Israel. And that needs to be reconciled in this season, says the Lord. For they have attempted to separate it, they have attempted to sever the relationship and destroy it. And in this season, by My balm, I, the Lord, shall begin to soothe the wounds and the boils that are broken out and heal that relationship. And those that want to be Sauls and go after their own people, you shall fall by your own sword in this season. You shall, You shall. For you have turned to the way of Cain.”
4.19.24
It was the 6th hour that darkness came over the whole land.
It is the 6th month since the war started in October 2023, in the 6th month darkness comes over the land of Israel, and Iran fires over 300 drones, rockets, and missiles at Israel. 331, 331 in Hebrew represents Emmanuel which means God with Us!!
Now, in the 6th month darkness has come over the land, when Jesus Yeshua was on the cross it was in the 6th hour that darkness came over the whole land.
Darkness came over the land until the 9th hour (3:00pm) the 9th plague over Egypt was DARKNESS.
The 6th plague over Egypt in Exodus 9:8-9.
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from a furnace and have Moses toss it into the air in the presence of Pharaoh. It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on men and animals throughout the land.”
DARKNESS coming over Iran in the 6th month since the war, the 6th hour.
The 6th plague was boils breaking out in the land, watch for this as well.
If we are in the 6th month of this war in Israel and it’s April, then July would be the 9th month (the 9th hour). July 4th in America is when we gained our Independence from tyranny.
May is the 7 month–7th hour that darkness is over the land.
4.22.24 “And the Spirit of the Lord says this day! Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed for I AM your God, behold I will strengthen you, I will uphold you with MY righteous right hand says the Lord of Hosts. Be ready MY children, gird up your loins in an hour of tumult, and shaking, and prideful rebellions rising in the earth, leaders saying in their hearts I will ascend as high as the heavens, I will destroy the nations who call on the name of the Lord, in their hearts, they have entertained such a pious position says the Lord. Thus says the Lord pride cometh before destruction and a Haughty Spirit before a big fall says the Lord, for serpents, have risen up for a strike, the prince of Persia, that spirit has risen up in a rebellion to stir the people of that land says the Lord.
Thus says the Lord, the rise shall bring a hard fall for the Ayatollah’s court says the Lord for the courts of nations that have welcomed the persecuting spirit in and have entertained its offers says the Lord, those nations in this time are set to be threshed says the Lord.
Thus says the Lord, the underground church in Iran, your shackles are about to come off says the Lord, your redemption draweth nigh says the Lord, call unto ME people of Iran for your leaders are bringing your nation under a curse, WOE unto them says the Lord WOE unto them, WOE unto their meeting with Russia, Woe unto Russia says the Lord, you trifle too close to MY LAND AND MY BUSINESS SAYS THE LORD, YOU SHALL BE ROPED AND TIED AS CATTLE FOR HOW YOU THINK YOU WILL INTERFERE YOU SHALL BE BOUND FROM GOING AS FAR AS YOU SO DESIRE, SAYS THE LORD.”
8.31.21 ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA “There shall be a very threatening and destructive statement made by the leadership of Iran during this time as that principality is stirring them up to indeed make a power grab at such a time. However, says the Lord of Hosts, the net they are planning to lay for Israel they and Hezbollah and their funders from other countries who desire for Iran to do their dirty work who desire to make Iran an extension of themselves for such destruction against other countries and peoples, so I the Lord thy God shall gut open their plan and reveal the inward most parts as 2 terrorist groups have met in secret and are looking to make a super-force of terror of power.”
Neil submitted this on 7th May but I’ve not been able to publish for a fortnight in view of commitments, and posting on Telegram quick news with my background on this issue and prophetic vision of 6th January 1991 – I appreciate Neil’s hard work bringing a very important reminder, especially on the notion of a hidden imam or Mahdi, to all who are unfamiliar with the source of current events being a grave threat to sleepwalking Britain and blinkered, ignorant leaders. So, over to my friend:
IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS!
INTRODUCTION
We are watching our Nation sleepwalk into Islamisation. The nature of our liberal society, and the laws and regulations related thereto, have rendered us powerless against an existential threat where the perpetrators use our laws to further their own ends (protect their intentions and actions from scrutiny and criticism). Continue reading →
There’s NO such thing as coincidence, especially when three come along, so it surely seems the Lord’s at work and hinting through ‘God-incidents’ – let’s run quickly through what I encountered in first fortnight of this month of May 2024:
When preparing to gather my End-times Briefings into a library for reference purposes I revisited what Jesus says about the sequence of events to watch out for His impending Return, as told in Matthew 24 The Signs of the Times and End of The Age (NKJV), also known as ‘The Olivet Discourse’. In particular I reread His implicit reference to a repeat of the cataclysmic days of Noah and of Lot – then noted the ‘follow ons’!
THE RETURN OF THE PREDICTED “DAYS OF NOAH”
On Monday 6th May I caught up with Veronika West’s item of the previous day, and am amazed it closes with:
“…For many will say, these are the Days of Noah that have suddenly come upon us and the Doors have been closed”…!!!
AND there’s more, relating to my reminders to why I began writing in February 2009 with The Endgame Is Now In Play, which tells of my hearing “This is ALL about to be fulfilled” open opening my Bible to check Jesus’ parable about wheat and tares (Matt 13:36-43).
So, I comment on Veronika’s Facebook as shown below:
Moreover, I’m further amused at the number of postings I cite – tagged Days of Noah – as that’s not only my birth-year but also the next numeral for the next US presidential term, 47, who is currently anticipated as being Donald Trump.
Now read in full, courtesy of Angus MacKillop at His Kingdom Prophecy:
When this Word of Warning came, I heard The Spirit say, ”Who will Sound the Sound of Distinction and Deal with the Rise of Islam on your streets?
I say, Who will Call for the Kingdom Reformers to Rise to take back the gates of the cities?
Who will Rebuild the Broken down Altars that have given legal Rights to the Ruling Principalities of Islam and Baal to occupy the land?
Who will take up the Mantle of Priesthood again? And who will take hold of the Horns of the Altar in True Repentance and Seek My Mercy for Stiff-Necked and Rebellious Nations?
Who will Worship Me in Spirit and In Truth and who among you will turn their backs on Empire Building to Build and Establish My Kingdom in the Earth Realm?
For surely I tell you, the Tables of the Money-Changers shall be overturned and the Merchandisers shall be driven out!
Watch and Pray — for Judgment has Come to The Church — and those that have pimped and prostituted My Precious Gifts in Pulpits of their own making, shall surely be exposed — and those who have come dressed as Angels of Light and Wolves in Sheep’s clothing, shall be brought into the open and stripped naked for all eyes to see!
Watch, as I shake The Church loose of the chains of wickedness and religious witchcraft!
Watch, as I shake the Houses of Government and give them ravenous wolves to lead them
Watch, as I shake Wall Street and the Babylonian Financial Structures and Systems and cause stocks to plummet and shares to tumble!
Watch, as I shake Nations and rearrange their Boundary lines!
Watch, as the Foundations of Nations rip and rupture and the waters of the sea rise and carry away the wealth and power of the wicked in high places!
I say Watch, as My Glory invades the Earth through Wind, Rain and Fire — and Listen — as the Heavens Declare the Day of Great Trouble and the Beginning ofSorrows for those who have turned away from My Righteousness and given themselves over to the Altars of Baal and Molech.
I say, cry out while your cries can still be heard!
Cry out while your tears can be still be collected!
Cry out while the sun is still shining!
But Watch and Pray — for the Day of Retribution draws near for The Nations, for the window of My Mercy is closing and the storm-clouds of My Wrath are gathering on the Horizon.
For Many will say the Days of Noah have suddenly come upon us — and the Doors have been closed!”
Blessings to you all.

RB: It being a Monday – my catch-up day – YET MORE WAS TO COME…!
On Thursday, Yvonne Coombs posted these profound insights on her Facebook, with this copy courtesy of His Kingdom Prophecy:
WARNING SIGNS OF THE LORD’S GATE OF PROTECTION – UK
JUDGEMENT FOR THE NATION AND GRACE FOR THE REMNANT
I have been sitting on this Word for several months, but sense to release now, after reading Chris Wickland‘s Facebook today [transcript on Richard’s Watch – see also Veronika West] and hearing that Big Ben stopped yesterday, 24th April 2024.
(Big Ben clock stops as hands freeze at 9 am Bell sounds 11 am chimes at 10:06 am despite hands of the clock faces showing 9 am. )
In 2023, I awoke to,“Big Ben, number ten, when you gonna chime again?
Sit tight no fright, cause a trembling to ignite.
Take heart My darling Nation, for I AM carrier to your station.”
I don’t fully know what these words mean, yet I believe this great Clock, to be a Sign and catalyst to great shaking that will awaken the stubborn and mocking spirit behind the authorities, and the citizens of The United Kingdom.
This shaking could even include an earthquake. IT IS TIME TO AWAKEN! [RB stress]
The LORD is judging The United Kingdom. He is stripping down unrighteous systems yet, as God’s Remnant, we are called to intercede, for The LORD desires to restore the promise, of a re-building of His original intention- for a radical revival and reformation.
The bell sounded 11 chimes at 10:06
“Against a godless nation I send him (Assyrians), and against the people of my wrath I command him, to take spoil and seize plunder, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.” Isaiah 10:6.
The expression is drawn from war, where the vanquished and the slain are trodden down by the horses of the conquering army.
9:11 is an urgency to pray in The Spirit. It is a call to Prayer and to urgency and grace for Intercession.
Angelic protection. Restoration of Kingdom objectives. A call to decree restoration, and rebuilding of God’s design.
“For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” Lean into peace and not fear.” Psalm 91:11.
“In that day I will restore the fallen house of David. I will repair its damaged walls. From the ruins I will rebuild it and restore its former glory.” Amos 9:11.
On the 10th of September 2023, I heard The LORD say, “Great Britain is My Portcullis.”
I received Isaiah 40 with the words ‘Repercussion’and ‘Percussion’.
I have recently been sensing the word‘Siege’ over The United Kingdom again.
I found myself revisiting a Word given to me in 2019 — of a siege breaking over The United Kingdom.
In this word, The LORD says He will, “Destroy the destroyers!”
Isaiah 40 is for the Remnant who have, and continue to incline their ears to the Fathers heart
“See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power, and he rules with a mighty arm. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.” Isaiah 40:10-11.
Repercussion : I believe we are going to feel like a rug is being pulled from under us within the Government and the nation.
The structure we have been under for centuries is going to change rapidly.
God is not happy with the way the nation has turned away and done things their way, especially through those who have been seated in high places governmentally to look after God’s sheep.
Percussion : Instruments were used as signalling devices in battles as they went ahead of the army.
The LORD is asking His remnant to march ahead in intercession and praise with focus on The LORD, just as Miriam led the way after crossing the red sea in victory with her tambourine. (Exodus 15:20–21).
Portcullis : A Porte is a gate and a Portcullis fortified the entrances to many medieval castles, securely closing off the castle during times of attack or siege.
They had the advantage over standard gates as they could be closed immediately in crisis.
The enemy is, and will try to invade through open access given, yet these types of windows can suddenly shunt down through the pulleys, similar to that of a Portcullis.
The guillotine also has a similar actioning (sic).
The Haman spirit is also at play within the body of Christ, but we are to be encouraged that Haman’s plans were found out, and through Esther’s call to her people to fast and pray — The LORD hung Haman on his own gallows.
Mordecai sat in the gates often. It is there that his persistence brought a reversal of fortune for his people and himself. He was raised up to wear the Royal seal.
I will be releasing a Word given on being inside The Gates of Authority and the Josiah Generation to rise up.
I believe God is giving us a heads up on two levels.
Personal : We are His castles, securely made safe whilst we learn to master ourselves in his wisdom.
We must recognise the power and authority we hold to be prepared to action the Portcullis in any moment.
Decree a thing and it shall be established (Job 22:28).
We are to be aware of what windows we are propping open and to let go of the old practices, habits, and beliefs that hold us back from the freedom given at the cross.
We need to yield to all his purposes over us. We are then able to have his peace and clarity of sight for this spiritual war.
Fear should not be in the faith of our Lord. Be encouraged that God points us to victory!
National : I believe we need to pray specifically for London — particularly to keep Wembley in our prayers concerning physical attack and/ or disaster.
The LORD highlighted the ‘Prince of Persia’ and attempts of invasion from within.
The last few years, I have been shown that The United Kingdom is under threat of an uprising of Islamic fundamentalists that will bring sudden fear and yet, through a dream I received, this will end quickly.
Pray the hidden is exposed in underground networks.
The Portcullis is a building associated with the Palace of Westminster. It stands directly next to Big Ben and The LORD is cleansing the catacombs in the foundations of this place.
We are to be prepared to witness Governmental collapse yet… we must remember God’s promises over The United Kingdom to raise her up again.
Daniel 10, A heavenly angel ( Archangel Michael) is dispatched with the answer to Daniel’s prayer, but a demonic “prince of Persia” obstructs the messenger. However, the messenger has victory!
Pray there be no delay to our prayers.
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land”.2 Chronicles 7:14
Not only have we gone full circle in my blogging with Tucker Carlson’s interview with a Palestinian priest about Israel, mirroring the beginning of this blog in 2011 with posts on the error of Replacement Theology, but also now full circle back to mid-1980’s. Continue reading →
As main-stream media sticks to the pro-Palestinian narrative, and ignores any evidence to the contrary, it is deeply depressing to see that America and Great(?) Britain have totally failed to understand the true intent of Iran and its proxies (see recent article on the significance of Gaza, and why Israel has no alternative but to ensure the destruction of Hamas). Betraying our allies was once considered indefensible; now it is seen as a political expedient. I examine our moral decline and how our once reliable and authoritative main-stream media bears considerable blame for misleading the Nation. I also look at whether these things have End-Times significance. Continue reading →
Events arising out of Humanity’s 2nd Tipping Point in the battle against satan have come to the ‘boil’ as far as my blogging’s concerned, beginning with two in-depth articles from Neil Mackereth, the first of which he submitted in Leap Year Day, 29th February, but for which I awaited a follow-on for Part 2.
Part 1 is VITAL NEED-TO-KNOW INFO:
I AM A STRANGER IN MY OWN LAND
Introduction
I watch the news and have come to the conclusion that democracy fails when the majority believe a lie. It is even more worrying when incontrovertible evidence will not change their minds.
I see crowds, who do not understand what Hamas represents, being whipped up into a frenzy by agitators, whose aim is the destruction of Israel. By association, the rabble rousers actions are leading to the demonisation of all Jews. Continue reading →
How a New Age follower got hooked into the Bible’s prophecies.
A unique take from die-hard anti-Christian confronted by facts in non-Christian book!
As an ex-unbeliever rescued by Jesus Christ in person and ‘born-again’ by Holy Spirit into life everlasting through His sinless blood, I reiterate Chuck Missler’s concern:
“You may not believe what the Bible says, but what’s utterly astonishing is that so very many claim to believe in Jesus yet have no grasp of the idea Christ is to literally return and rule!”
The aim of these Briefings is to help my readers be better informed and thus grasp that truth. If an ardently anti-church guy deeply involved in New Age teachings, who viewed ‘Bible-bashers’ as bigots, could grasp and keep hold of this mind-blowing stuff, then how much easier is it for believers in Jesus to fully appreciate these things?
So, come on a revelatory journey with me that hints at the relevance of Bible ‘coding’:
BACKGROUND
Personal events over the last couple of years brought insights into formative events in my childhood that have a bearing upon why I must write – as if pre-ordained destiny!
Mulling over one particular memory suggests the Lord played a direct role in what had happened – as though He instigated the ‘first contact’ and thus strongly stimulated what became an abiding fascination within my spirit. That is, His grace in action…
Then at the right time decades later, He revisited the sown seed that was emerging from below ground and simultaneously brought together two things – a book and a television – to kick-start life-changing events!
Moreover, last year when speaking about prophecies being like ‘jigsaw pieces’ I shared what had got me interested in prophecy. BUT only then did it dawn upon me that’s what I’d seen on those pages and that screen: two ‘jigsaw pieces’! I hadn’t put two and two together until over 30 years later! Dohh!
By covering the identical topic, the printed and spoken words I read and heard in mid-80s got connected and opened up a much bigger intellectual, historical and spiritual picture. They were the very first two physical ‘jigsaw pieces’ I’d encountered and fitted together tightly, as though in an awesome ‘invisible jigsaw’ – one I’d begin blogging about twenty years later.
And only now do I notice two more ‘pieces’!
‘FIRST CONTACT’
Having Catholic parents, it was church every Sunday. As soon as I was able to read, my mother showed me how her Missal explained what’s said during Mass. Each Sunday had a page with picture depicting the liturgical theme, as in this copy page.
Being very keen on astronomy I was intrigued by the picture for the First Sunday in Advent. It shows Jesus standing on clouds in the midst of the sun, moon and shooting stars; but over a burning earth!
Back then I didn’t know it indicated events predicted to precede his Second Advent!
Being a visually-minded boy gifted in drawing, my favourite cartoon stories were those on science fiction. Also, a richly illustrated book By Spaceship to the Moon is a much-thumbed Christmas present of 1955 from my grandmother. And so in the next couple of years we’d go picking blackberries near the huge radio telescope being built at Jodrell Bank, Cheshire.
As you may surmise, that Advent picture had left a subtle impact upon my fertile imagination.
Jodrell Bank radio telescope (1959)
Years later my historical interest led me into Elizabethan-Jacobean codes and self-publishing a booklet on how the misquotation from The Tempest on the Shakespeare monument in Westminster Abbey has a geometrical code of the name of Sir Francis Bacon. (He was involved with producing the King James Bible – see Bio Info).
1st & 2nd PIECES – JERUSALEM
By mid-1980s, as editor/publisher for a New Age group, I was well-placed for one of its leaders who dealt with mail-order books to hand me a brand new book on international politics and the Middle-East. Moreover, it examined ancient predictions on those highly complex issues!
So, whilst watching a documentary about the then current Iraq-Iran war, I grabbed the book to casually flick through, pausing at illustrations and charts and noted repeated references to the significance of Jerusalem.
Thus, I was stunned upon hearing the TV narrator say: “Elite units from opposing forces are rehearsing an attack upon Jerusalem” – despite being at war with one another, these opposing armies united to rehearse their ‘liberation’ of Jerusalem – ie. its recapture from the Jews!
Immediately, my head sung to see film footage of that violent rehearsal – my jaw dropped! Wouldn’t yours?
Therefore, this book most definitely is be taken seriously. It grabbed and got my full attention and became of seminal value in understanding these End-times well before I started reading the Bible a few years later!
More importantly, that mid-1980s event began loosening my disdain of churchgoers. It needed, however, a visit from the Lord to rescue me from the devil’s camp before that decade was out. [Read I’m FREE! for my full testimony.]
Furthermore, upon revisiting The Invisible Hand I now recall a couple of other ‘jigsaw pieces’ confirming this ‘heaven-sent’ book was just right for me.:
3rd PIECE – BIBLE CODES
Being interested in codes and writing a booklet on one of significance to literature, my attention was drawn to Victor Dunstan’s claiming the Bible holds coded and plain-text prophecies by ancient seers and which relate directly to Britain’s Mandate in Palestine. He also covered historical data on the Mandate and the Middle-East’s religions and politics.
Consequently, I became more alert to Middle-Eastern and globally-related events, which suggest things may not be as they seem at first glance – or as reported in the media, and definitely not the BBC! I was amazed to learn that many modern events are of Biblical significance. Therefore, I began watching events unfold – occasionally and slowly at first, but rapidly and accelerating after we entered the new Millennium, or ‘3rd Day’ since Christ.
Also, I was well-acquainted with the Western esoteric tradition and the Kabbala in Jewish mysticism, so I was at ease with Dunstan’s term ‘ancient seers’.
Using prophet Daniel’s mathematical coding of ‘Time’, this author extrapolated that all prophecies would come to a climax in 1992 with Russia being the lead villain against Israel. However, he didn’t foresee the collapse of communism in 1989! Yet that year proved pertinent because the ‘Middle East Peace Process’ had just got under way in October 1991 and led to the Oslo Accords of 1993. [Latest: New details emerge of how Russia prevented Obama’s anti-Israel resolution.]
Furthermore, Dunstan accurately foresaw the resurgence of Islam as a militant force:
‘We are about to witness a mighty and almost unbelievable upsurge in Islam. Though we see the first signs of an Islamic-revival (it) has a long way to to go but it’s going to go that ‘long way’ very quickly.’ [page 198]
Consequently, his seminal book has received a number of mentions during the course of my blogging (Invisbl_Hand tag refers).
Here’s the book’s fold-out table I saw on cross-links between prophet Daniel and the Book of Revelation, under a photo of the Dome on the Rock mosque in Jerusalem…
The author’s easy, conversational and non-religious style was clear from the outset as he introduced his material gleaned from ‘ancient seers’ and what they call “the time of the end” – the days in which we’re living. He emphasises the mathematical skill of Dr Grattan Guiness’ in his Light for the Last Days (1887) in using those sages’ writings to foretell the deliverance of Jerusalem from the Turks 30 years later.
However, his book opens with a prediction I’d been personally been aware of for twenty years.:
4th PIECE – JFK’s ASSASSINATION
Doubtless you recall where you were and what you were doing when you heard news of the terrorist attack on New York’s twin towers on 11th September 2001? Similarly, I well recall being outside my school’s dining hall on 22nd November 1963 upon hearing news of President Kennedy’s murder. The next year, however, I was intrigued to read about a lady who’d predicted that alarming event, and to which Victor Dunstan refers and uses as a lead-in to the thousands of years-old predictions of the Old Testament prophets:
ON THE SECOND COMING
The author’s frank admission shown below indicates his frank opinion on the possible return of Jesus and suggests why The Invisible Hand is free from church jargon and ‘Christianese’.:
P 307 Chpt 18 – Ancient Seers Foretell Event to ‘Out Science Fiction’ Science Fiction
WHY 1992?
To expand upon the above reference on 1992, the next image (which I hope you can read) tells how Dunstan sees the ‘Times’ in the Book of Daniel point to 1917 and 1948, as well as to 1992. And he demonstrates how these periods can link not only into the Christian calendar but also into the Muslim one – asking if that implies a linkage to the ‘abomination of desolation’ (Daniel 9:27) and thus to the Anti-Christ.:
Veronika posted this to her Facebook on 13th January, and notice once again reference to wheat and tares:
A Word to The UK — A Prodigal Nation shall Turn, Return and be Restored — Greater than before….!
While praying at the beginning of the New Year, 2024, for the four Nations of The United Kingdom, God showed to me that in His great Mercy, He has preserved and reserved a Remnant for the days ahead, who will stand in the gap and cry for a Nation caught in-between — to be Let Go!!Continue reading →
‘Wide public support for Hamas’ offensive on October the 7th, but the vast majority denies that Hamas has committed atrocities against Israeli civilians. The war increases Hamas’ popularity and greatly weakens the standing of the PA and its leadership; nonetheless, the majority of the Palestinians remains unsupportive of Hamas. Support for armed struggle rises, particularly in the West Bank and in response to settlers’ violence, but support for the two-state solution rises somewhat. The overwhelming majority condemns the positions taken by the US and the main European powers during the war and express the belief that they have lost their moral compass.’
‘New polling of Palestinian public opinion showing massive support for Hamas and other Iran-backed terrorists.
– 72% of respondents support the October 7th massacre.
– In the West Bank, support for Hamas has seen a threefold increase, with 82% endorsing the October 7th massacre.
– The preference for “armed struggle” has escalated by ten points, now at over 60%.
– Only 10% believe Hamas committed war crimes, with 85% not having viewed any footage from October 7th.
– When considering governance in the Gaza Strip post-conflict, 60% favor Hamas, including 75% in the West Bank but only 38% in the Gaza Strip.
– Among Arab and regional actors, Yemen receives the highest satisfaction rating (80% overall, 89% in the West Bank, and 68% in the Gaza Strip). Qatar follows with 56%, then Hezbollah at 49%, Iran at 35%, Turkey at 34%, Jordan at 24%, Egypt at 23%, UAE at 8%, and Saudi Arabia at 5%.
– If a presidential election were held today with Mahmoud Abbas and Ismail Haniyeh as candidates, the turnout is projected at 53%. Of those participating, Haniyeh would likely receive 78% of the votes, a significant increase from 58% three months prior, while Abbas would get 16%, down from 37%.

Neil Mackereth, myself and many, many others are not alone in being challenged, BUT we return a deeper challenge to an oxy-moronic and ignorant approach in responding to downright demoniacal barbarity.
Here’s how Amir Tsarfati puts it this morning (closing emphasis mine):
“Lately I am being scolded by Christians for not loving the people of Gaza enough. They say I am not being a good example of a follower of Christ.
Just a reminder, Christ Himself will deny entry into His kingdom and send to destruction the goats who will not help His brethren, the Jews, during the tribulation.
In Joel chapter 3, God will judge ALL nations that will come against Israel during that time.
Anyone who wants to kill me and my people just because we are Jews cannot receive my sympathy. He can only get my hope and prayer that he will either repent and get saved – or get killed before he kills me!
And if you have already killed, raped, or burned alive my people, my prayer is that either you will repent and then be punished by the authorities for your crimes or you’ll just be executed if repentance isn’t your thing. No matter what – actions such as those cannot go unpunished!
I can’t remember any time in the Bible when Jews were massacred by other people groups, and God just overlooked it without punishing the perpetrators!”
As told in 
Although published a few months ago Mark Davidson provides a useful situation report on how the ‘Four Signposts’ in the Book of Daniel, together with Psalm 83, may apply to the Shiite Islam war against Israel that began with the barbaric genocidal massacre on October 7th a year ago.
