State of the UK post-October ’23 Outrage: part 1 – Neil Mackereth

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

End-times Briefing 6: New Ager sees first pieces of God’s ‘jigsaw’

[First posted 16.6.20]

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

Invisible Hand

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!

Thus, began my appreciation as a non-believer in the Bible as prophecy. This reality got confirmed by peculiar instances (‘God-incidents’) after I’d begun blogging, especially at the time of this blog’s 4th anniversary in November 2013 [The Invisible Hand Reappears and Did My Triple Warning About Iran Affect WordPress Connections?] and two year later [What’s Weird About Writing About Iran].

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.:

All to the glory of God alone

The Prodigal UK shall turn, return and be restored greater than before! – Veronika West

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

Humanity’s 2nd Pivotal Point: Update #7 – most Palestinians support terrorism

Policy and Survey Research Press Release: Public Opinion Poll (90) published yesterday states (emphasis mine):

‘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.’

Here’s Amir Tsafati’s summary :

‘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%.

Is this 2nd pivotal point for humanity vs. satan?

Challenges by/to Christians over terrorism cont’d – Amir Tsarfati in Israel

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!

Humanity’s 2nd Pivotal Point: Update #6 – 2nd Exodus – religious basis of war against Israel

Click for Veronika’s first posting > Urgent Word on Start of Israel’s Second Exodus

According to David Parsons, VP & Senior Spokesman of ICEJ, in July-August 2023 edition of Word From Jerusalem:

‘Recently, Israeli authorities released the latest Aliyah figures showing that over 100,000 new immigrants have arrived in Israel since the start of 2022, marking the highest number since the mass Soviet Jewish influx three decades ago. Over these past 17 months, some 60,000 Jewish immigrants have come from Russia, 20,000 from Ukraine and the remaining 20,000 from other countries worldwide.’ (Aliyah to Israel Hits 30-year Peak)

Undoubtedly, this rise will continue as a result of the intensely anti-Semitic marches worldwide, and mirrored by uninformed, gullible younger generations.

GOG-MAGOG COMPONENT

NOW note involvement of Iran’s direct involvement in negotiations for releasing hamas captives – in total alignment with Islamic doctrine of dimmi status of non-believers, clear preferential treatment is given to muslim abductees. Everyone else as normal human beings are too inferior!

Apart from the documented fact muslims started this war, their utter lack of compassion is abundantly evident. It unequivocally disproves all claims whatsoever to their god being identical to the Almighty God of Jews and of Christians!!

Extract from Cordelia’s report (emphasis added)

‘…Behind the scenes, Thailand officials have been quietly working away at trying to get their citizens freed, attending meetings in Qatar and Iran

At the centre of the Thai negotiating team is Lerpong Sayed, a Thai Muslim who, in an exclusive broadcast interview, told Sky News Hamas was justified in taking hostages.

Dr Sayed in recent weeks has split his time between his home country and Iran, where he spoke to Hamas five times.

“We went there to negotiate as normal people, not politicians. Hamas saw this. They saw us as Thai Muslims,” he told me in an interview that provides a window into his high-level talks.

“They promised that if there was a ceasefire Thai people would be released in the first group.

“Now we can obviously see Thais are among the first citizens freed compared to 20 other nationalities.”…’

PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY DECREE

Yesterday, on Telegram’s Behold Israel Amir Tsarfati quotes:

‘PA senior official Jabril Rajub: “The events of October 7 were a natural reaction to oppression. The occupation and its crimes are responsible for the incident. The action was part of the Palestinian war of defense and the next outbreak will take place in the West Bank.”

And to end with a message of unity:
“Hamas is an integral part of the political fabric. The current campaign is the beginning of unity with the aim of establishing a Palestinian state on all Palestinian territories”
Rajub, a senior minister was a star in the “Partners Campaign” of the Geneva Initiative!”

What Rajub is hinting is that the military force of the Palestinian authority (that America so diligently helped build and fund) might do to Israelis near the West Bank what Hamas did to Israelis near Gaza.

The U.S. administration must wake up! The Palestinian authority is more of the same! It’s Hamas, ISIS Nazis!’

This comes as absolutely no surprise to Christians familiar with Bible prophecy, or to those comparatively few wide-awake folk who treat political rhetoric with contempt.

PS to Update #4 – Confirmation posted by Amir Tsarfati in Israel

In his ongoing coverage of the Israel-hamas war, Amir cites a deeply concerned author who brings a full-some comparison of people who support evil with those who prefer the good.

Humanity’ s 2nd Pivotal Point: Update #4 – anti-Semitism puts millions in spiritual danger!!

DEMONIACAL HOSTS HAVE TAKEN CIVILISATION BACK 1,400 YEARS TO THE DARK AGES! CITIZENS & LEADERS MUST NOW TAKE A STAND AGAINST EVIL.

I pray the Peace of Jesus that passes all understanding may cleanse and guard our hearts, minds and spirits after exposure to sub-human barbarity in screenshots supportive of Neil Mackereth’s post on the existential threat against Israel, and mine on our choice to follow the Living Lord, or submit to satan and end up in the lake of fire.:

This post was prepped for publication five weeks ago but got waylaid by many events, so kindly accept my apologies for the delay but I’m taking the opportunity to change the lead-in with this reminder of the mini-holocaust – lest we forget!.

Thus, every individual participating in marches and social activities with anti-Israel motivation thereby condones and endorses sub-human barbarity committed in the October Massacre, some of which is reported below, but details of hamas’ war crimes are now logged as above.

Update on Muslims’ visions of Jesus

Verse of the Day (Colossians 3:15 NIV) at BibleGateway reads,

‘Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.’

INTRODUCTION

In an email to friends on 16 February 2011 I recounted in detail the first significant dream-vision after my foretaste over 13-14 September 1989 of Jesus’ return – Oh what an awesome Visitation that was!

The BBC late evening news on 6th January 1992 announced that leaders in the Muslim community wanted to establish a Muslim parliament in Britain. But that night in a dream I saw Western Europe, mainly France and the Mediterranean with some of North Africa, as though I was hovering in the space shuttle…
I was astonished to hear the popular worship chorus ‘All Hail The Lamb’ being sung, as if in the atmosphere! This praise was repeated many times most melodiously as though by an angelic host and, inexplicably, it seemed to spiral upwards with them…

Then I heard a very loud, authoritative voice declare,

“As Communism fell, so too will Islam fall”.

I understood this as the Almighty’s declaration that Muslims themselves will want to be free and seek the Truth and then rise up en-masse into freedom in Christ. Here’s an update from early December 9 years ago:

Fulfilled prophecy #2 – diversity and Islam in the UK

MOST WELCOME NEWS

Therefore, since the barbaric massacre of Israelis on October 7th I’ve pondered over that insight and thus delighted to read this week:

https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/michael-foust/muslims-in-gaza-come-to-christ-after-seeing-jesus-in-dreams-report-says-it-was-a-miracle.html

Michael Foust writes, ” The report was first posted online by author and Christian apologist Michael Licona, who said, “God is working in the midst of war.” Licona is a professor of New Testament studies at Houston Christian University and the author of multiple books” – and links to his Facebook at Michael Licona on 10 November, viz:

“Over the past two days, we have ministered to hundreds of fathers who have lost most, if not all, of their children in the war. As we moved these men to safety, we fed them, washed their clothes, and began to read the Bible to them — sharing the way of peace through Jesus. Then, a big miracle happened. Last night, Jesus appeared to more than 200 of them in their dreams! They have come back to us to learn more from God’s Word and are asking how to follow Jesus.
“I side with Israel in this war; not necessarily for theological reasons but because Hamas and those backing it are pure evil. Yet, I know that not all Palestinians support Hamas. In fact, they will be punished severely if even suspected of not supporting Hamas. Let’s pray that this war can be over soon and that Israel can eradicate Hamas so that Palestinians can be free . . . of Hamas”

PRAYER

We pray that millions of poor desperate souls who believe in the Almighty may come to know the Truth who is Jesus in such a close personal way, and thus become saved and spiritually fulfilled.

The 3rd corner-piece: Obama’s Middle-East playbook exposed (PPU 92)

Rather than consider my Invisible Jigsaw’s three corner-pieces in chronological order I’m leaving the second piece until last as we look now at the third from 2009. It just so turns out that relevant material that emerged this week plugs into that year as well as 2016-7 (Two Significant 7-year Cycles.. refers).

LOTS more on-the-ground coverage on Amir’s Behold Israel Telegram

Now back to 2008-9:

‘Exhibit A: his decades-long relationship with a Hamas-supporting pastor named Jeremiah Wright. Wright amplified the mission of Hamas: to eradicate the Jews. He gave such a prominent terrorist figure publicity in his popular church newsletter. Wright also befriended the likes of Louis Farrakhan and Muammar Gaddafi. As one pundit summarized it, “Obama marinated in two decades of Jew hatred” at Wright’s church. Maybe someday we’ll get to the bottom of Obama’s zeal for funding the extermination of Jews.’

Psalm 83 & ‘Gog-Magog’ Update: Iran warns Israel, Imam threatens whole world with war!

It was our usual long weekend with just a few intervals for being online and thus posting only quick news updates on Richard’s Watch Telegram, but I jotted above title for next post. First. however a…

CLARIFICATION:

Neil Mackereth’s The Existential Threat to Israel is a tripartite briefing and each part is not to be taken in isolation and thus taken out of context and get misconstrued, even in considering scripture, for which Chris Moyler provided extensive citations:
  1. (Return of The Mahdi) Islam’s Counterfeit Christ
  2. Gaza in Bible History and Prophecy
  3. A War for Survival

It is vital to be aware of how this situation relates to Islamic end-times doctrine. Neil subsequently writes me, “I am certain that Israel faces an enemy that is intent on its annihilation; ie. an existential threat. I know Israel will survive – the Bible tells me so.”

Further to Ezekiel’s Gog-Magog Prophecy Revisited – ‘Stop-Press’ on Part 3:

GOG-MAGOG ALLIANCE-RELATED NEWS:

A few for a quick scan through. First in case you thought Neil and I are making it up + confirmation of my ‘two jigsaw-pieces’ through a word brought by prophet Julie Green:

(Russia attacked Odessa)

A PROPHET’S CONFIRMATION:

SOME REFERENCE SOURCES:

PSALM 83 (BibleGateway link)

“Dear Friends (writes Chris Moyler),
James Goll is a seasoned and trustworthy leader in God’s House. In this video [RB: not attached] he speaks prophetically about this present Gaza War. He believes that it will expand and draw in all the nations that immediately surround Israel.

He says clearly that he believes this to be the fulfillment of Ps 83. Verse 4 is an almost word for word statement of the Hamas Covenant, which specifically states that Israel will be wiped from the map.

The Psalm concludes with a prayer for the destruction of Israel’s enemies, specifically in order that the SOVEREIGNTY OF ALMIGHTY GOD might be displayed through Israel’s victory, and that HIS NAME might be hallowed in all of the earth:

17,18 “Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace, that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.”

And yet there is also a prayer for God’s grace to extend to those will will lose in this war:

Psalm 83:16 “Fill their faces with shame,
that they may seek your name, O LORD.”

We want to see Hamas utterly destroyed, ditto Hezbollah, because these movements lead the peoples away from the only One who is able to give life to all mankind, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel.

Amen

Finally, I continue to believe that this is NOT the final Gog-Magog war. Satan would like it to be so, because what he most fears is the emergence of the sons of God in the earth, Christ’s pure and spotless Bride.

Ezekiel 38:8 ‘After many days you will be mustered. In the latter years you will go against the land that is restored from war, the land whose people were gathered from many peoples upon the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste. Its people were brought out from the peoples and now dwell securely, all of them.’

please note:
-“restored from war,”
-“its people were brought out from the peoples”
-“now dwell securely.”
-“ALL OF THEM.”

Since King David and King Solomon, there has never been a time when ALL of the people of Israel have dwelt there securely, in THEIR OWN land. Therefore, I continue to contend that this must be the condition of the Land and the Jewish people in it, prior to the final Gog-Magog war. That war is exclusively in the FATHER’s timing, and NO-ONE ELSE’S.

HE ALONE sets the calendar of the Earth!

And, of course, Satan wants to prevent the VAST end time harvest of souls for the Kingdom.

But judgement has already been given to the saints, and he will NOT be allowed to “change the times.”

Dan 7:21,22
‘As I looked, this horn made war with the saints and prevailed over them, until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom.’

So let us banish all fear from our hearts, and let us boldly proclaim God’s goodness over and above these troubled days.

Amen, Chris x

Psalms 83:16 Fill their faces with shame,
that they may seek your name, O LORD.”

Prayer to Frustrate Conspiracy Against Israel

A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.

83 Do not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God!
For behold, Your enemies make a [a]tumult;
And those who hate You have [b]lifted up their head.
They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

For they have consulted together with one [c]consent;
They [d]form a confederacy against You:
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

Deal with them as with Midian,
As with Sisera,
As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,
10 Who perished at En Dor,
Who became as refuse on the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb,
Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 Who said, “Let us take for ourselves
The pastures of God for a possession.”

13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust,
Like the chaff before the wind!
14 As the fire burns the woods,
And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
15 So pursue them with Your tempest,
And frighten them with Your storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.
17 Let them be [e]confounded and dismayed forever;
Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
18 That they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord,
Are the Most High over all the earth.

‘God-incidence’ of 2nd Pivotal Point foretold by Jesus: “As in the Days of Noah…”

MY, WHAT A ‘GOD-INCIDENCE’!
This morning I read two separate items published yesterday referring to The Days of Noah. First, from the collection of news items on progress of prophecies brought by Julie Green:

PS. Note the ‘double-22’ yet again in the date of her covering prophecy!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-12681313/Has-Noahs-Ark-Archaeologists-reveal-ruins-Turkeys-boat-shaped-mound-date-5-000-years-ago-period-Biblical-flood.html

Secondly, in last night’s Koenig’s Eye View From The White House, Bill Wilson KIN Senior Analyst writes (emphases mine):

‘The Days of Noah and our Prophetic Times

WASH—Oct 23—KIN–The Biblical account of Noah has very similar underpinnings to the current condition of the world. As evil plays out in the Hamas attack on Israel, we can see clearly the inhumanity of humanity. When a group of people led by hatred and a genocidal ideology boldly murder, rape, torture, and dismember an innocent population, then is praised by the masses and justified by media, we know that the visitation of evil is upon us.

The prophetic words of Christ about the end of days resonate with this time in which we live. While there are several events that must occur before the return of Christ, we are witnessing prophetic signs of the coming end of the age both in the general world population and in Israel in particular.

Asked by his disciples about the signs of his coming and the end of the world, Christ was very specific. He likened world conditions to the time of Noah, when God cleansed the earth with the great flood. In Luke 17:26-27, Christ said,

“And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.”

Likewise, Matthew quoted Christ saying,

“But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”

Genesis 6:5-8 tells us the why behind both the flood and Noah’s position with God, “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD…Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.”

Herein, is the hope and faith for each of us as time closes in on the return of Christ. 2 Peter 2:5 says God “did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness…”

2 Peter 2:9 concludes that “the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of danger.” The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that no adversity, or temptation, has overtaken you except what is common to man, but God is faithful and will not allow you to go through more than what you can bear, and with the adversity he “will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”

How? By your faith. Hebrews 11:17 says, “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.”

Noah is an example for us in these dark, yet prophetic times. By faith, let us look beyond the evil of the days to the promise of our prophetic destiny. Be encouraged. You are HIS!’

Conversations and corrections over history of Palestine and Israel – 2 of 2

Preface:

The purpose of my recounting these online conversations is to ensure visitors to this blog can appreciate that there’s a far deeper background to Israel’s ‘Day of Infamy’ on 6th October than is claimed by militant masses devoid of compassion, who instead complain vociferously about Palestinians being trampled down.

NB: many traditional Jews are opposed to Zionism and the creation of a national state of Israel.

In A Call for Clarity on Israel and Gaza (July 2014) I cite renowned British journalist Melanie Phillips:

“This thing ultimately defies rational explanation. As Islamist savagery spreads, the moral depravity of the Western animus against Israel and the Jews can only be described as a metaphysical psychosis.”

Why did the West turn against Israel? In answering, Melanie refers to the conventional explanation that, with the post-1967 ‘occupation’, modern David turned into Goliath.

In The West’s Metaphysical Psychosis Melanie provides a solid explanation by referring to Joshua Murvachik’s new book, Making David into Goliath: How the World Turned Against Israel. Eg. China’s oppression of Tibet didn’t produce the same reaction. In her review Melanie puts Murvachik’s illuminating analysis of the inexplicable into a nutshell – the Arab and Muslim world set out to bend the Western mind, and succeeded.’

COMMENTARIES CONT’D

Soon after that infamous day, John Barber posted his observations at JRB Publications Israel at War. What is Happening in Israel Today followed by yesterday’s Israel and Calvinism – two hot potatoes!, which generated ‘conversations’ on Facebook.

Also yesterday, as in the previous part 1, John shares John Hymus’ item and to which one of his regular contributors objects as to its history but rightly says the satisfactory answer must be a two-states solution.

NOW, that’s just what Netanyahu was working towards with Saudi Arabia BUT which goal is not what terrorist controllers of Gaza desire – hence hamas’ war-crime to stop development of the two-state solution.  Moreover, during negotiations of 1993 Oslo Peace Accords the Palestinian Authority often delayed progress!!!

‘P’, another regular with whom I’ve ‘discussed’ American politics, claims Israeli brutality against ordinary Palestinians and political frustration resulted in the nazi-style pogrom.

Obviously, both my protagonists are unfamiliar with hamas’ true, published objectives and the first, being an atheist, rebuked me as God that people believe in is the same whatever their faith.  So I told him Islam’s god is very different Io the real God with whom Christians are in a personal relationship.

‘P’ reacts: “This more than “Hot potatoes” this is murder of women and children. This coming from Jewish Voice for Peace…” (copy JVP article, the statistics of which are to be verified, saying Israel guilty of genocide and attacking West Bank Palestinians).

Being open-minded I wanted to check out this source, as I’d heard about Jewish Voice for Peace in connection with a mob inside the US Capitol led by an offensive Islamist.

I found JVP’s reaction to the massacre – but whilst regret over loss of lives, there’s NO condemnation of the barbarity. Upon spotting a key factual error of 20th Century history I reply to ‘P’ as follows:

Upon checking JVP’s site and coverage of the barbaric massacre and kidnapping of hundreds of Jews during their sabbath, plus people from over 40 nations – not just an attack on Jews alone but also upon the global community! – I note they fail to mention it was a deliberate albeit undeclared act of war. However they excuse it with two wrongs DO make it right – thereby hypocritically copying Israel!

JVP article states, “The Israeli government may have just declared war, but its war on Palestinians started over 75 years ago. Israeli apartheid and occupation — and United States complicity in that oppression — are the source of all this violence. Reality is shaped by when you start the clock.”

War started by Israel “over 75 years ago” > WRONG! A LIE!

100 years ago during the rise of Arab nationalism Yasser Arafat’s uncle Haj Amin al-Husseini, who rose to become Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and close friend of Hitler, incited bloody anti-Jewish riots in 1920, ’29 & ’36 – AND to our great shame with connivance of British officials overseeing our Mandate of Palestine!!! https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/haj-amin-al-husseini

And after World War II, ARAB nations continued to wage war against the long-established and immigrant Jewish communities!

So, we need factual historical honesty, do we not?

As JVP claims reality is shaped when ‘the clock’ starts, it begs these questions:

  • why have they got timing and associated facts wrong – and implicitly,
  • what else do they get wrong, even deliberately distort??

PS Remember the Islamic principle of taqiyaa – lying and dissimulation is approved by their god!”

‘P’ responds: “This is a Jewish site not Islamic.”

RB: “Yes I know, but it will indubitably be influenced by Muslims, as inferred from inaccuracy on basic historic facts.”

With respect to that influence, even infiltration perhaps, here’s what I already knew – NB Anti-Defamation League’s warning about Jewish Voice for Peace!!!:

Oh by the way, the same threat of decades ago but no longer to be ignored:

The Existential Threat to Israel – Part 1: Islam’s counterfeit Christ – Neil Mackereth

After these quieter years of reduced coverage of the Middle-East, it’s strange to remind ourselves of the Iranian regime’s ominous role, not only in directing its proxy terrorists against Israel but also its inhuman Shiite theology about the necessity of killing people in order to hasten the return of its false ‘messiah’ (click to read my many posts on this issue).

So I’m pleased to welcome and publish Neil Mackereth’s latest analysis (emphases mine):

THE  EXISTENTIAL  THREAT  AGAINST  ISRAEL – PART 1

Introduction

There seems to be a view that Jews should not seek to prevent their own destruction.

However great the evil atrocities perpetrated against them, it is not long after the event before Israel is being called upon to be proportionate and show restraint – the hypocrisy is staggering.

Furthermore, the recognition, in some cases mealy mouthed, that Israel has a right to defend itself is undermined by the immediate acceptance of Hamas claims of Israeli “atrocities”, without due diligence, appropriate caution, and certainly without equally loud coverage, if and when the claim turns out to have been a lie.

Mass rallies in support of the “Palestinian cause”, in reality, venerate terrorists and infer that genocidal Hamas’ behaviour is resistance, while Israeli resistance is genocide!

The media seem to miss the point that Hamas, the “government” of Gaza, shows no interest in the welfare of the Palestinians living in Gaza, pays no attention to the laws relating to the conduct of war, and seeks the annihilation of all Jews. For Israel to survive, Hamas needs to be expunged, and that may require a surgical strike on Iran, the “puppet-masters”; as well as a ground war in Gaza.

Background

I am convinced that the world faces an unprecedented, much misunderstood and, even now, barely acknowledged threat from both “Radical Islam” and “Apocalyptic Islam”.

I want to be clear; many Muslims are peace-loving, law-abiding and blameless.

However, it is an uncomfortable fact that jihadists and fundamentalists are still real Muslims. Furthermore, it is sad that, as our media shows, there are mass rallies and protests by Muslim extremists, but we do not hear much from the moderate peace-loving Muslims.

Recent events relating to Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, have highlighted the dangers of complacency when looking at the rise of Iran and its terrorist proxies. Iran is, to a large extent, a hermit kingdom. Our western mindset and ignorance have blinded us to the truth of its intentions and methods. It hungers for genocide; its religious views make it constitutionally incapable of certain types of change, even if that change might ensure its survival; and it considers itself a herald of —and a likely headline player in — the imminent end of the world.

Iran follows a fundamentalist Islamic creed that it believes will lead to a final confrontation that precipitates the return of the Mahdi (the 12th Imam) the Islamic “messiah”. In this respect, Iran has a medieval religious fervour, commitment and mission that the West has difficulty understanding.

This ideology permeates the whole legal and political direction of Iran. There is no genuine recognition of, or negotiation with, any nation or person who has not given allegiance to Islam. In other words, recognition of other nations, international treaties, laws and so on, is only tolerated as a necessary expedient, or stepping stone, to its ultimate goal. In truth, it is duty-bound not to negotiate with infidels. Therein lies the challenge!

Most commentators agree that the Shi’a leaders of Iran are seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, by whatever means, and they make no secret of their ambition to destroy Israel. They seek to hasten the final world confrontation, precipitating the Mahdi’s return. They have also expressed their aim to rid the world of the United States, a country they refer to as “The Great Satan.” We have seen that the possibility of collateral damage to “friends” plays no part in the strategy and tactics of Iran and its proxies.

Israel is convinced that it faces a nation whose rulers are driven by an apocalyptic, genocidal, End-times eschatology which involves the annihilation of Israel.

The question for diplomats and negotiators operating on behalf of democratic western nations, is whether they can rely on there being any honest intent or integrity in any pledges made by those who actually see it as in their best interests to mislead and prevaricate?

The Return of the Mahdi

The Mahdi, or 12th Imam, is the anticipated saviour of Islam destined to lead Muslims to world domination. Some Muslim leaders see it as their duty to precipitate the return of the Mahdi by instigating world turmoil. The Muslim teaching, that Jesus was a prophet who will return, can cause confusion because of its apparent similarity with Christianity. However, the “Jesus” of Islam is not accepted as Son of God and is foreseen as returning as an assistant of the Mahdi, enforcing conversion to Islam.

The belief in the imminent return of the Mahdi is more prevalent amongst Middle-Eastern Muslims than might be expected.

According to a poll taken by the Pew Research Centre in 2012, a surprisingly large number of Muslims in Middle Eastern countries believe they will live to see the return of the Mahdi. The figures for this belief by Muslims of the Mahdi’s imminent return are: Egyptians 40%; Jordanians 41%; Palestinians 46%; Iraqis 72%.

Figures for those Muslims who believe Jesus will return as a deputy to the Mahdi are: Egyptians 39%; Jordanians 29%; Palestinians 46% and Iraqis 64%.

Christians need to be aware of this parallel and counterfeit version of the return of Christ and understand the political implications of this teaching about a false messiah and a false prophet. The leaders of radical and apocalyptic Islam are seeking to mobilise those who share their End-times views and to convert or destroy those who don’t.

Is what is happening in Israel and Gaza an End-times “sign”? The brutality of Hamas certainly fulfils Jesus’ general predictions of violence in the End-times. Radical and apocalyptic Islam might also be seen as contributors to the urgent need for a peace treaty which will, in fact, be the catalyst for the start of the time of tribulation.

I will look at the Biblical significance of Gaza in Part 2.

Humanity’s 2nd Pivotal Point: Update #1 – personal choice of good or evil

Recap of Summary from This the 2nd Pivotal Point for Humanity versus satan?

EVERYONE’S PERSONAL CHOICE

Both Historic Pivotal Points apply to EVERY individual as a consequence of personal choice and responsibility. In the First, each person must decide for theirself whether or not to acknowledge Jesus Christ for who He says He is!

“Therefore, whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.  But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 10:32-33 NKJV – BibleGateway.com)

The Second Pivotal Point is about each individual’s reaction to the utterly sub-human barbarism of 7th October atrocity by gazan terrorists and civilians killing, mutilating, burning, raping and kidnapping innocent people. It’s indubitably empowered and enacted by demonic powers to further satanic strategy. Consequently, unless those who express ‘hate speech’ and enact hatred and harm any fellow human being sincerely repent and turn away from such behaviour, they’ve chosen their very own post-mortem, eternal abode – the fiery pit of Hell.

Intel analysis confirms blog on Iran’s long-term goal of war on Israel

Please visit blog’s Telegram channel where several linked items and extracts are posted from Daily Telegraph heading below. They bring detailed confirmation of what I’ve been monitoring since mid-1980s of the Iranian regime’s long-term planning to remove Israel – BUT biblically at their peril: 

https://t.me/RichardsWatch

More confirmation it’s all about first two jigsaw pieces, Iran and Israel

Regarding my reminder on Monday 9th October about the Lord drawing my attention as a not-yet believer to the great danger the Iranian regime poses to the nation of Israel, on that day Tomi Arayomi broadcast this video and associated ‘short’ poignant summary confirming Iran’s current behind-the-scenes activity. (‘Hat-tip’ to Tony Puccio for trying to send a link in his comment of last night.):

In my large coverage of Iran’s quest to eradicate the state of Israel I’ve occasionally referred to its quasi-religious motivation of deliberately arranging calamitous events in order to hasten the return of their Mahdi, or hidden Twelfth Imam, as in this posted ion 20 July 2012:

My ‘take’ on Iran vs. Israel

Therein I conclude :

‘This blog’s Welcome briefly recounts how I became aware of the huge role played by Iran in ‘The Last Days’. Now and again I refer to Iran in connection with the ‘Ezekiel 38 alliance’, otherwise known as ‘Gog and Magog’ and referred to in Revelation 20.

That role’s warning flags are:

  1. Mid-1980’s joint-rehearsal of the storming of Jerusalem by Iranian-Iraqi elite units, despite fighting on opposite sides during the Iran-Iraq War! (Refer to Review 2 – Iran and Nuclear ‘Fix’).
  2. Very early in his presidency Obama starts secretly appeasing Iran (email 18 May 2009).
  3. July/Aug 2010 – Iran’s nuclear reactor goes live, Supreme Leader reports having been visited by the Hidden Imam about his violent return (email 19 August 2010).
  4. Nov 2011 – referred to event 1 above in ‘Welcome’, introductory post launching this blog.
  5. Nov 2013 – event 1 repeated by Iranian troops in drill ‘Towards Jerusalem’ two years to the date I blogged about the 1980s rehearsal in ‘Welcome’. (Invisible Hand Reappears).
  6. Mar 2015 – The Lord asked, “How many months since that blog you wrote about Iran?”. Upon checking, I’m prompted to expect developments of nuclear deal four months later, ie this July (Review 2 – Iran and Nuclear ‘Fix’). The reference was to when I’d asked if my triple warning about Iran had disrupted my internet’s blogging connection in Nov ’13.
  7. Aug 2015 – new video of IRGC & Iranian proxies ‘imagining’ taking Jerusalem, as related in above section.

Finally, there’s also my statement in March: What’s weird about blogging about Iran.’

Is this 2nd pivotal point for humanity vs. satan?

1st PIVOTAL POINT

The cruel crucifixion of Jesus the Jewish (not Palestinian) Messiah and tortuous death, yet followed by His awesome resurrection back to full physical life – and weeks later His visible ascension into the heavens – are recognised as The Turning Point in the history of humanity.

Why? Because Jesus took upon Himself everybody’s sins, washing us clean by the shedding of His sinless blood in a personal sacrifice in order that we may be forgiven by heavenly Father, and thus be granted access into His throne-room.

Such is the privileged position freely granted to those who are born-again by the Holy Spirit and recognise Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

2nd PIVOTAL POINT?
