Jigsaw Pieces PS: a personal full circle (27), insights on a ‘kairos moment’

EXTRA INSIGHTS

Previous post’s introduction to the 7th of latest round of jigsaw pieces in the Lord’s Invisible Jigsaw puts them in a spiritual framework I hadn’t previously perceived, which had been erected by the ‘Free’ church linked to the Baptist Union He put me in 36 years ago to get a good grounding in scripture – and later I got plugged into a prophetic socket through an inter-church prayer group, likewise training in healing and deliverance with Ellel Ministries.

As with completing a jigsaw, the New Year’s pause and mulling over matters helped me check December’s 7 pieces were fitting together and pleased to see a few connections with the bigger picture comprising 8 jigsaw pieces plus additional insights, as follows:

1. “HEBREWS 12.26” was a Holy Spirit ‘drop’ I heard inwardly 25 or more years ago. So I then read the contextual verses 25-29 and they’ve stayed with me to watch out for eventual fulfilment.

2. Moreover, pre- and post-New Year Saturday Mens’ Bible Breakfast had arrived at those very verses in our months-long working through the Book to the Hebrews; thus reinforcing my suspicion of their significance as a ‘kairos’ (now) prophetic scripture.

3. Mary K Dullforce’s comment as the 5th piece includes a prophecy she received in 2011 that was confirmed in a word Veronika West brought 5 years later. It took a while to dawn on me that both years are of personal relevance!

> 2011 fits into the 3rd piece in not only what Bill Johnson said recently, as shown in the screenshot, but also it was the year he was in London and I had a connected dream of the Kingdom being set up, all as recounted in Father, Let Your Kingdom Come!

> 2016 is when I was musing with the Lord over His exposing political rot and corruption in politics here and across the ‘pond’, on which this is 727th posting!

4. During worship yesterday I recalled the ‘sword vision’ of 12/12 , opened my Bible to read it and recalled two references to a sword coming out of Jesus’ mouth as seen by apostle John.

> THEN I got a double whammy in having said in the 1st piece the vision may have a bearing on Revelation 19:15, for the very same numerics relate to the principle of two or three witnesses’ testimonies establishing a matter > Deuteronomy 19:15.

> AND that sword verse not only repeats John’s first vision of it coming from Jesus mouth in Revelation 1:16 ‘He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword…’ – but it also endorses and echoes the foundational statement of testimony by there being TWO references within Revelation to that holy feature.

5. Yesterday, 3Counties Vineyard’s leader spoke about our Vision for 2026 – its 60th birthday – and mentioned having made a numerics printing error in citing Isaiah 61.1 (The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me…to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners...) instead of 60.1 (Arise, shine; For your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you! – NB verse 2: See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples.’ )
BUT it is a Holy Spirit ‘slip’ for both verses apply and the references at the start of those two chapters to ‘darkness’ connects into my open vision of 12/12 of darkness being cut by a sweeping bright yellow, or golden, double-bladed sword!

6. Upon revisiting the post about a Near Death Experience (NDE) I realise it must be a part of this bigger picture, but my focus had been on America as well as gathering the previous week into an orderly account to make some sense of what the Lord’s doing.

‘KAIROS MOMENT’
A kairos moment is defined as a divinely appointed or opportune time, distinct from the sequential, measurable passage of time known as chronos. It signifies a decisive, qualitative moment when circumstances align with a higher purpose, often marking a turning point for transformation, fulfillment, or action. In biblical contexts, kairos refers to the appointed time in God’s plan—such as when Jesus declared “the time is fulfilled” in Mark 1:15, indicating the arrival of the kingdom of God.
This concept extends beyond religious usage, appearing in classical rhetoric where it denotes the ideal moment for effective action, likened to the precise instant an archer can shoot an arrow or a weaver can pass a shuttle through fabric. The term is also applied in modern contexts to describe pivotal personal, spiritual, or societal moments—such as a sudden realization, a life-changing opportunity, or a collective shift in history—where decisive action can lead to lasting change.

For readers who may not have read previous sequence:

RECAP

Pre-Christmas busyness diverted writing about a personal vision but the delay fitted into the Lord’s timescale of confirmation in a word my prolific prophet friend would publish. In the meantime a video….I’m always wary of prophecies about dates, but that post has specific points on which I’m about to write and which occurred, like picking individual pieces of a jigsaw out of its box, viz:

Carols – Isaiah – PRAY – SWORD – Putting Christ Back vs Islam – Crusades – Bondi Beach murders – unusual dream – Bill Johnson quote – my dream – query re BJ > 2011 KINGDOM – Goliath no sword – P4N prayer note – Kingdom word 17/12 > sword and shaking – TFC! (20/12)’

Here’s how the pre-Christmas items fit together like jigsaw pieces:

December:
  1. 12th – Vision of sword on asking about Jesus’ Kingdom per Isaiah 9 and 11
  2. 13th – Putting Christ back into Christmas, standing against Islam – a Crusade! (Next day saw Muslims murder Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach)
  3. 14th – Dream of blogging, Bill Johnson, my 2011 dream setting up the Kingdom
  4. 16th – God-incidental ‘an army without a sword’ query re email from Wales,
  5. 16th – God-incidental comments regarding revival in Wales.
  6. 18th – Prayer For Nations and rhema word on tares and a shaking.
  7. 17th – ‘Now’ word for 2026 > “KING’s DOMain”, sharp sword, greater shakings and “My Kingdom is unshakeable and My Throne Immovable”.
  8. 22nd – Video account of NDE confirms focus on Isaiah 9 and 11 and Hebrews 12:25-29 profound shaking.

Another piece of The Invisible Jigsaw is put into place

Prophecies on Jesus’ holy titles and fulfilment

When we invite Jesus into His entitled place as Lord of our life then everything falls into its proper place. So I suggest a starting point to prepare for what He’s doing in the New Year is to contemplate and realise His many ancient and eternal titles, as prophesied and fulfilled in holy scriptures: Continue reading →

Jigsaw pieces cont’d (4): 2026 – A ‘Now’ Word for Nations in Divine Transition, Veronika West

Posted on by

BACKGROUND

During the events covered in this series on ‘The Lord’s sword – His Kingdom – Crusade – Shaking’ my initial focus upon Jesus’ prophesied rulership as King in Isaiah 9 and 11 made me recall, as in Cont’d (3), a spiritually significant personal event when in Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist) before moving to marry Nina in 2002.

One Sunday together with a GP and his wife, I silently went forward during pastor Barry Kirk’s teaching to bring verses the Lord had given. We didn’t know the details BUT were amazed to hear ourselves giving single verses of Isaiah 6 in sequence: 6, 7 and 8!

Also, my recent ‘God-incidental jigsaw pieces’ bring a double focus upon TFC. I didn’t return there until attending a meeting for the Prophecy Conference of February 2020 in Reading, and the eve-of-conference dinner. That’s when I met Veronika West and was amazed upon her telling me she’d been on the new pastor’s prophecy team! So, TFC is our common spiritual home.

Therefore, it’s most appropriate that what Veronika published on Dec 17th towards the close of my pre-Christmas events is another piece in this invisible jigsaw puzzle; maybe the pieces were queuing up – or ‘on cue’ – as Q is 17th letter of the alphabet.

Moreover, what the Lord gave Veronika applies to my open vision and its meaning…

Pieces Thus Far (December dates):
  1. 12th – Vision of sword on asking about Jesus’ Kingdom per Isaiah 9 and 11
  2. 13th – Putting Christ back into Christmas, standing against Islam – a Crusade! (Next day saw Muslims murder Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach)
  3. 14th – Dream of blogging, Bill Johnson, my 2011 dream setting up the Kingdom
  4. 16th – God-incidental ‘an army without a sword’ query re email from Wales,
  5. 16th – God-incidental comments regarding revival in Wales.
  6. 18th – Prayer For Nations and rhema word on tares and a shaking.

7th JIGSAW PIECE (17th Dec)

Therefore, I’ve emphasised appropriate phrases of His Kingdom Prophecy version:

I heard The Spirit of The LORD say ”Watch! 2026 will be a Year where the KING and His DOMAIN will be Established in Greater Power in the Earth Realm!
Watch! For in 2026, My Rule as King will be undeniable and every competing domain will be measured and weighed in the Balance and found wanting.
I say, Look — and Pay Close Attention for the Writing is on the Wall, ”Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin!”
For the Days have been Numbered, Weighed and Divided!
But I say, Watch!
2026 a Year of New levels of Experiential Knowledge, for like Job, many will say, ”I knew Him by the Hearing of my ear — but now my eyes have seen Him!”

Even as I hear the Spirit speak these Words to me, The Holy Spirit quickens to me, Isaiah 6 for 2026.

Isaiah 6 says,

“In the Year that King Uzziah died I saw also The LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple…
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly…
And one cried unto another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is The LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory….”
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke….
Then said I, “Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts….”
Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar…
And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, “Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged”.
Also I heard the voice of The LORD, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then said I, “Here am I; send me!”
And he said, “Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.”
Then said I, “Lord, how long?” And he answered, “Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
And The LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof”..! Isaiah 6:1-13.

And I hear The Spirit say, ”The Year 2026 will mark a radical shift — a Divine Turning and Unlocking in the Spirit realm!
A year when the Burning Coal of Isaiah Six (6) shall touch defiled Lips.
A Kairos Time of Greater Purging and Purification, Shaking and Awakening of Nations!
I say again! Watch! For I will display and establish My Kingly Domain through greater demonstrations and supernatural manifestations in the Earth realm!” says The LORD.
”And not just in hearts of men, but in Religious and Political Systems and Structures!
And where My Name has been used without a demonstration of My Kingly Nature, I will confront, uproot and tear down.
And Where My Power has been imitated by Illegitimate and defiled vessels without My Authority and Anointing, I will expose it and cut it off at the Roots.
And Where My Kingdom has been preached without true submission and surrender to The King, I will dismantle and destroy it from within.
Watch! For this will be a Year of the Threshing Floor!
Look! For there will be Signs in the Mighty Winds that shall Blow. Signs of a greater Sifting and Separation that has already begun.
I say, see, for what the Winds of My Seven Spirit have blown over in the Nation of Brazil — a replica of the Statue of Liberty — a Prophetic Sign that shall speak to the Times of Greater Political and Economic Upheaval and Divine Exposure.
Watch! What shall begin to take place in the days ahead as the Winds of My Seven Spirits begin to blow upon the “BRICS” in 2026.
Watch and Pray, as brick by brick, the Walls they have built shall surely fall, for again I yell you, Nations are now being Sifted, Separated and Shifted on the Threshing Floor!
Watch! As a Greater Shaking takes place, that will expose the rot in the roots and the deep and hidden faults in the Foundations of Nations.
For the Winds of My Seven Spirits shall blow and the Rains of My Spirit shall come as Cleansing Rivers and that which has been built on sand shall surely fall!
But that which has been built on the Rock shall stand as the violent shaking by My Righteous Right Hand brings forth Judgment and Retribution to the Enemies of My Chosen People and their Holy Land.
The Year 2026. Watch! The Rise of a New Breed of Apostolic and Prophetic Kings with Purified Lips, for in this Kairos Time, I AM raising up those who fear Me more than they desire worldwide influence.
I AM entrusting My Kingly Power and Authority to those who have learnt to be Trust Me in the silence as I have moved to bring Nations into Divine Order and Alignment.
For My Kingdom does not advance through Selfish Ambition or where there is a desire for man’s Approval and Recognition.
But My Kingdom is built and established through yielded vessels who have Ascended the High Places with clean hands and a pure heart!
See! For In 2026, I will Restore the Spirit of The Fear of The LORD to My People through greater Signs and Wonders — a Holy Reverence that shall produce the fruit of Radical obedience and deeper levels of Consecration and Intimacy with Me.
Watch! As the shakings Re-establish the Foundations of Covenant Nations — and as Broken-down Altars are rebuilt and restored, as Sacred Vows once abandoned are called back into Remembrance and take Deep Root.
For in 2026, I shall demonstrate that I AM a Covenant-keeping King Who shall not be mocked!” says The LORD,
“And I will require Greater Accountability for words spoken in My Name, for I AM releasing the Spirit Discernment like a sharp Sword, that shall pierce and penetrate the veil of deception and delusion.
Many will suddenly see what was once justified and even defended. They will now grieve what was once condoned and celebrated!
Watch! For I tell you, Divine Exposures will be Mercy, made manifest in the midst of them, for I have always desired True Repentance and a turning back before divine removals and retribution comes!” says The LORD.
“Yet I say, Watch and Obey! For I will not contend and strive forever with the Rebellious and stiff-necked!
For truly I tell you,” says The LORD, “My Kingdom is advancing and shall not be stopped!
My Kingdom is unshakeable ** and My Throne Immovable, and My Word will not return to Me void.
So I say again, Watch! Be still! Stand, and be clean — be Ready!
For the King and His Kingdom is not coming quietly in 2026!
His Kingdom Rule shall be openly displayed and His Kingdom Rulers shall arise and reign!”

Blessings to you all.

Bethlehem manger’s significance for Jesus as The Lamb of God

May you, your dear ones be most blessed celebrating Jesus’ birth

Christmas card

Then the angel said to the shepherds keeping watch over their flocks at night,

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

My dear friends, may our Lord and Saviour bless you and those dear to you with a revelatory and ‘Mega-merry’ Christmas, as implied by the OT Hebrew word ashar (Strong’s #833, as in Proverbs 31:28 on the virtuous wife):

‘happy, blessed, prosperous, successful, from original root ‘be straight, upright’.’

Better still is New Testament Greek’s makarios (Strong’s #3107), which means:

‘from root mak, indicating large, or of long duration…happy, supremely blessed, a condition in which congratulations are in order. It is a grace word that expresses the special joys and satisfaction granted the person who experiences salvation.’

This ‘Blessed’ is used in The Beatitudes, or the Sermon on the Mount, as recorded in Matthew 5. (Details New Spirit-Filled Life Bible, Executive editor. Dr Jack Hayford.)

May Christmas Eve, night and day be an especially blessed occasion of spiritual silence and insight for everyone.

Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht is an old favourite, always sending shivers down my spine!

The above Graz choir’s version is ‘dedicated to all those who are not able to spend Christmas with their loved ones‘.

It was first sung in 1818 in Oberndorf bie Salzburg chapel. My father must have heard it during his residence in Stalag IIIA, near Dresden. Austria looked very attractive, even as seen en-route as a captive transported from the Battle for Crete (1941). So starting mid-1950s we took holidays in the Tyrol west of Salzburg, often motoring around there.

This version by ‘Celtic Woman’ is also sublime…

Urgent near-death revelation for TODAY

Posted on by

December is always busy in prepping for Christmas and I’m drafting a post about some personal ‘jigsaw pieces’ for – to mix metaphors – we know there’s often a hidden thread in our lives but…STOP PRESS!

This video popped up yesterday as though to support my stance in a contentious thread about Israel, Jews and Christianity.

Description: A devout Jewish scholar dies on a storm-soaked highway and is thrust into a profound near-death experience (NDE) that dismantles the certainty he carried for decades. In this NDE—where awareness continues even as the body breaks—he is confronted by Jesus and given a message that carries urgent weight before December 22. What he witnesses overturns a lifetime of Jewish tradition as he understood it, revealing truth he never allowed himself to consider. His return becomes a warning shaped by impact, silence, and revelation, urging every viewer to pay attention before time runs out. Watch until the end.’

Not only the whole account is startling but also from my perspective its confirmation of my long-standing blogging theme of the Hebrews 12:25-29 profound Shaking plus my recent focus on Isaiah 9 and 11 (to be recounted in next post), are both featured in the Lord’s narrative to the ‘deceased’ rabbi at these timepoints:

11.07 – “…they are spiritually anorexic, they have replace d the Bread of Life with distractions of the enemy and because they are weak when the Shaking comes – and it IS coming – they will not have the strength to endure..”

21:24 – “..but My own are anchored to a Kingdom that cannot be shaken..” 23:31 – “..as the Shaking intensifies..”  (the huge grand trees fell because their roots are shallow but the small insignificant shrubs don’t fall when the earthquake strikes because these small plants had roots that went down for miles they have long strong roots going deep into the soil and anchored deep into the bedrock)…

24:28 – “The Root of Jesse“, Jesus said, “The storm that is coming will not respect fame.. they will stand because they are rooted in Me” 

Isaiah 11 – The Reign of Jesse’s Offspring

There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. (NKJV)

Personal foretaste of the global shock of Jesus’ Return!

The First Sunday of Advent in liturgical calendar celebrates Jesus’ Return

Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” (Revelation 6:15-17)

A HEAVENLY VISITOR

In the early morn’ of 14th September 1989, only hours after the evening’s visitor had left and I’d orally and actually shut the door to his returning to tell me more about Jesus, that night’s second visitor was far more challenging – this time it is life or death – MINE!!

In a most unusual dream that night I go back in time. A dream so lucid it remains vividly etched within me. So it must be exceptionally significant. Come back 36 years with me as, in standard dream-recall practice, I put it into present tense (dream content in blue typeface, my comments in black).:

“I am in my childhood home and standing in front of the large casement window in one corner of the lounge and I look up into the inky, dark night sky outside.
A small flotilla of large, wingless aircraft drifts slowly across from left to right at high altitude and I groan, “Oh…not that flying saucer nonsense. I must be dreaming!”
I’m sceptical about the existence of UFO’s, but now another ‘fleet’ of some sort appears from the right and heads towards the first.
(The dream now changes gear by going up a level from the usual mix of mental material to that of absolutely convincing lucidity…)
The ‘light goes on’! In my ‘knower’, I realise the first fleet is demonic and the second is masses of angels under the command of Jesus Christ! (I did not believe in them, and regarded Jesus as one of many world teachers. Here, I see no individuals but inwardly know the situation)
I think I’m about to watch an amazing heavenly battle…but…OH NO! Somehow, I now know Jesus has espied me far down below and is coming down directly towards me!
All I see is a distant bright light very rapidly getting brighter and larger as it drops down to my location, just like an airliner approaching a runway to land at night.
Instantly, I realise my life has been one of sin that contrasts starkly against Jesus’ own holiness. Right away I realise what’s claimed about the Judgement is true – but mine is about to happen right now!
Beyond any doubt whatsoever I suddenly realise my involvement in the occult was most definitely wrong. Consequently, I deserve the undesirable abode!
Groaning “My number’s up!” I inwardly tremble in fearful knowledge I’m about to die at any moment. An invisible trapdoor I’m standing on will drop me straight into hell.
Utmost mortal terror strikes! I dive under the drop-leaf table by the wall to the left of the window so I can hide from Jesus. But he knows I’m hiding there and swoops down straight through the wall on the other side of the corner window. He’s standing in the room and right beside the table!
Cowering below the table with my back turned towards him, I glance over my shoulder and see him from the knees down, his body and face out of sight above the table.
Most unexpectedly, somehow I have the courage to reach my hand out backwards to grab at the hem of Jesus’ robe…
As I tug, the event goes into yet another level of revelation regarding my childhood…”Then I awake! Thoroughly alert, further sleep eludes me!

The dream reminds me of an evocative small picture in mother’s Missal that impressed me as a child – the return of Jesus Christ:

1st Sunday in Advent - Image

Later I understand that my terror had been ‘the fear of God’ brought through the Holy Spirit in convicting me of my personal sinfulness (ie. wrongdoing) and, thus, preparing me to receive God’s grace (ie. undeserved favour).

Also, what happened after reaching for Jesus proves He’s closely acquainted with the private details of my thoughts as a little boy. The dream’s conclusion shows He’s going to topple my childish concepts of Him and replace them with a sure knowledge of His true identity.

“The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love” (Psalm 111). Mercifully, He plucked me from the domain of darkness to bring me into His own and receive its blessings. I deserved none of that. Truly, Amazing Grace – how awesome and wonderful..!

As a result of the most remarkable dream I’d ever had, I carefully reconsidered all my New Age and occultic notions. Meditational and mystical exercises had resulted in my having some unusual, ‘psychic’ dreams, but none whatsoever like this one.

The only remotely similar dream was that of an ‘altered’ state of consciousness known as ‘nirvana’, or bliss, where I’d been taken behind its alluring golden light. Ecstasy turned to abject terror as the light I was in got swept aside like a curtain to reveal a hideous, devouring beast of utter blackness approaching me – The Devourer – far worse than any nightmare! (as in Searching for Truth leads me into captivity).

I wasn’t into drugs and was ignorant of the scripture ‘satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light‘ (2 Cor 11:14). Upon reading that verse a few years later I realised its truth had been dramatically demonstrated in reverse to me as a non-Christian!

But in this new dream terrifying fear had been overcome by Jesus Christ Himself and His wonderful mercy and love.

INCREDIBLE TIMING OF FRESH CONFIRMATION

[Written October 2013] Later we will consider how that dream-vision was validated as being real. But for now I want to draw your attention to a remarkable revelatory word given two days before I’m due to give a brief account of my journey into freedom at a breakfast.

Before having that dream I don’t think I’d heard of Jesus being in charge of angels for I was completely unfamiliar with the Bible. In later years I’d learn that the pre-incarnate Christ appeared to Joshua outside Jericho as ‘Commander of the LORD’s army’, (‘Chief of the host of Yahweh’ in original Hebrew at Joshua 5:14-15).

And, in countless sessions of solid Biblical instruction received since then I don’t recall hearing anything in-depth on Jesus’ role as the captain of the angelic hosts. That is, until last Sunday!

The timing of this fresh confirmation was the second of three clear references on three successive days to the content of a brief outline of my testimony, which had already been prepared for delivery on the 4th day!

Revd John Kilpatrick changed his sermon to bring a word the Lord had given him in the early hours of Saturday at 2hrs 22. We were listening live as part of the regular online congregation and the timing impacted my spirit because 22 is not only the date of my birthday but also and particularly because there are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. (I’ve previously had occasion to note the personal relevance of two in 2.12.2012.)

Far more importantly in this word, the Lord of Hosts draws attention to the angelic hosts and their present and imminent activity. It reminded me of the above visitation – AND it is notable that John focused upon the same scripture that’s precisely relevant to my dream, as will be explained in forthcoming instalments of my journey.

For now, however, this mighty revelatory word deserves due, reverent consideration and reflection before proceeding further. If you wish to read it then click here.

A brief summation of that is given in the next part of my story: Triple validation of the reality of my life-changing Visitation.

Searching for Truth leads me into captivity

Me 1962

At Mum’s sister Jenny’s house, Leicester (1962).

The intellectual freedom of higher education in the ‘swinging 60’s’ enabled me to break loose from the values of my parents and their generation. Even so, I recognised their values had enabled them to come through the destruction and deprivation of the Great Depression, World War and post-war Britain austerity with great fortitude.

As outlined in “You Shouldn’t Be At Our School!”, a formative influence upon a child of the post-war ‘baby boom’ was the disharmony and hypocrisy between churches. In my mind it tarred all Christians with the same brush and badly reflected upon the God they believed in.

Nevertheless, when a child I’d once thought it must have been awesome to have been around Jesus and seen everything He said and did. Continue reading →

“You shouldn’t be at our school!” – Whyever not?

Whilst playing with my pals one of them suddenly stops, eyeballs me hard and scolds me, “You shouldn’t be at our school – you should be at the one Cat’licks go to!”

I’m stunned into silence.

I can’t recall my response other than distress.

Upon reflection it’s possible I denied the accusation outright. I’d like to have responded, “So what? It’s where my parents want me to be!”

Such a riposte, however, would have plugged straight into something worse – parental conflict!

A ‘God-incidental’ republishing and a prophetic foreshadowing of the Tabernacle and Revival

Posted on by
Reply

In a short time-slice at my pc on yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) I recalled contacting the author Peter Russell-Yarde several weeks ago, yet remain quite clueless on what I may have intended to do – or not – BUT then this flash of inspiration on a ‘holy connection’ hits me like a lightning-strike:

You may recall Veronika West’s account of what she heard from the Lord during Charlie Kirk’s memorial service in Arizona on 21st September, the eve of Rosh Hashanah – God’s glory going from a Tabernacle to Stadiums (another personal confirmation) – and published later by His Kingdom Prophecy:

It so happened concurrently a new paperback edition of one of Peter Russell-Yarde’s books was in preparation and became available on Amazon a month later, as described below:

‘The unique design of the Tent of the Meeting (or Tabernacle of Moses as its is also known) which was built strictly according to God’s instructions, clearly illustrates how God proposed to provide man with a permanent means of salvation. From the moment it was designed and constructed by those gifted by God, the Jews had before them the key to the complete plan of salvation.

Peter Russell-Yarde looks at the layout of the tabernacle court and tent to discover all the information necessary to explain why the Messiah had first to come as a suffering servant and how, through understanding God’s word, it is possible for any member of the human race to become spiritually alive to God and enter into a real and dynamic relationship with Him. It explains in detail why the virgin birth was vital to the sinlessness of the Messiah, and why the temple curtain was rent in two from top to bottom at the time of the Messiah’s death on the cross.

Covering the scripture from Genesis to Revelation, this book takes the reader from the moment of Adam’s creation, through the fall, the calling of Abram and the development of the nation of Israel under Moses and entering into the Promise Land.

It details how the design of the tabernacle and its services were meant to bring the Jews into an intimate and spiritual relationship with their God. The arrival of the Messiah, His life, teaching and cruel death was all foretold in its design.

This book is a revelation of truth providing the seeker after truth with more answers than questions. The rabbi who commissioned the work describes it as awesome, stressing that it inspired in him both awe and wonder.’

Now a day later and about to begin our long weekend by scheduling this for later today I return to that strong recommendation of the above book by the author’s rabbinic mentor, and have this by Wiz McCormick on Facebook, with whom I’ve been in touch on another matter:

“The book ‘The Origins of Life’ was fantastic. My mind was racing to get to the next page because the spiritual milk and meat was satisfying. Go shop Peter Yarde on Amazon to buy his books. I recommend The Origins of Life and God who created us as a recommendation. Please you have to check him out. The spiritual food is intense > Peter Russell-Yarde.”

The BIG APPLE…the silver arrow and a small window of Time! – Veronika West

Posted on Veronika’s Ignite Ireland ministry Facebook and added emphases mine:
”THE BIG APPLE…THE SILVER ARROW AND A SMALL WINDOW OF TIME…!!

…Friends,…I wanted to submit for Urgent Prayer…two shorts dreams I had early hours of this morning,…5/11/2025

…these were two strange dream encounters,.. that I believe Speak to the Hour prophetically,…two encounters that need to be weighed and Warred over…

….So In the first Dream encounter,…

I was taken into what felt like a strange but all too familiar place,…a realm and dimension of the Spirit,…that my Spirit seemed to know,…and recognise..

…it felt like I was standing in the midst of the Garden of Eden…the atmosphere was weighty with powerful Prophetic revelation and symbolism,….

…Now as I was standing in this place,…suddenly I found myself looking at a large Apple (just for clarity sake…nowhere in the Bible does it mention that Eve ate an apple it simply says,.. ”She ate of the Fruit”… )

…As I was looking at the large Apple which was hanging low upon the branch of the tree,…

…I saw that the fruit looked ripe for harvest,…the Apple was very appealing and even enticing,… but in-spite of the outward appearance of the fruit,…

…I knew by the Spirit that the inside of the Apple was infested with worms….

…The fruit looked appetising….but was not good to eat…

…But then….suddenly,……I heard these words,…”THE BIG APPLE!”…

…And instantly,…I knew prophetically, that I was being shown “New York”….(The Big Apple!)…

…And As I heard those words,…the dream shifted,…

…and I found myself standing in a very large Orchard,…where there many fruit trees…all growing in neat rows…

…and I saw that a Time of Harvest had come upon the Orchard,…

…I saw that some of the fruit trees in the Orchard had already been Harvested,..

…but there there were some trees that still had ripening fruit upon the branches which were now ready to be picked… when suddenly,..

…I heard these Words,…”Watch!…For Harvest Time in Early Fall has begun”…

…Now as I heard those words,..my eyes were drawn back to the Tree and to the ripened apple that was infested with worms,..

…when suddenly, I saw a hand reach up and it picked the beautiful looking fruit off the branch,..

…and I watched as the fruit was then placed in a large bag with many other ripe Apples that were in need of sorting and washing…

…now as I stayed watching in the dream,…I knew by revelation that the Orchard spoke to the United States of America and that the many Fruit Trees in the Orchard,…spoke to the individual States of the Nation,…

…I also knew by Revelation that the Large Apple,.. Spoke to New York; THE BIG APPLE,…but it also spoke to the Newly Elected Muslim Mayor,….

…Furthermore,…I knew that the Orchard of Fruit Trees spoke…both,..to all Nations but also to the Church….

…There were many layers of Revelation within the dream that began to unfold before me,…

…Then the Spirit of Revelation made known to me that a Time of Great Harvest and Divine Judgement had surely begun within the Orchard of Nations,…

…there was a Divine Inspection and a Weighing in the Balance,…not only of the United States of America,.. but also of all the Nations…

…a Divine Inspection was underway of the Roots/Foundations of Nations….and the Fruits of the Trees/Nations,…and also…of the Global Church and its Leaders that were now being weighed in the Balance,…

…A Time of Divine Separation, Distinction, and Purification had come upon the Orchard….Hearts were being unveiled,…and all that had been hidden and concealed…that which appeared good outwardly,.. but was rotten at the core was being fully revealed and exposed….

…The hour was late, and the final harvest of the season was now underway….

…But then suddenly the dream shifts,…

…Where I was taken into a second dream encounter,.. where I saw the same Apple that had been picked from the tree in the first dream…the Apple infested with worms…

..Was Now,…resting upon the head of a man who was standing against a Tree…

…Now,.. As soon as my eyes saw the apple sitting on the man’s head…

…I heard these Words,…”The Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”,…

…and as I heard those words,……Suddenly, I saw an Archer step forward in the dream….…and In his Left hand was a bow….and I watched as he raised his Right hand and reached behind his head, drawing a sharpened silver arrow from a sheath that was strapped to his back….

…And I watched as he set the silver arrow against the bowstring and He drew the arrow back with immense strength and power…

…I could hear the sound of the string of the bow groaning under the tension,…the sound was sharp and powerful as the Silver arrow was pulled taut in the bow,…

…And in that moment  in the dream,…

…the atmosphere became extremely weighty and I could tangibly feel a sense of great anticipation,…

…and yet I could feel the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord rising in the dream,…

…I watched intently as the Strong Right Arm of the Archer began to move the bow and shift the silver arrow into perfect alignment with the target…which was the Apple sitting upon the man’s head…

…And suddenly I heard these words,…

…”WATCH AND PRAY…FOR A DIVINE PREGNANT PAUSE,..A SMALL WINDOW OF TIME GIVEN FOR NATIONS TO RIGHTLY ALIGN WITH HEAVEN’S TIME…

…WATCH!…FOR THE SILVER ARROW OF MY JUDGEMENT AND JUSTICE SHALL BE RELEASED WITH POWER AND PRECISION TO EXPOSE THE HEART OF CORRUPTION AND TO DEAL A DEATH-BLOW TO THE ROOT OF DECEPTION THAT BROUGHT FORTH THE DEFILED FRUIT OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL”…

..And as I heard those words,..I cried out in the dream,…

…”MERCY,…MERCY IN THE MIDST OF JUDGEMENT”…

…As I cried out for Mercy,..Mercy,…suddenly I saw the Silver Arrow being released from the Bow,.. and I watched as the Silver Arrow flew through the air with great power,.. accuracy and precision,…

..I watched as the arrow struck the fruit on top of the man’s head,…piercing it through,..

..And In the twinkle of an eye,. .the apple was shattered…fruit fragments scattering,…Nothing of the defiled fruit remained,…the Archers blow was final and absolute,…leaving only the mark of divine Judgment where decay had taken deep root….

…Again,…I knew by Revelation that the Divine Pregnant Pause and the Small Window of Time was a Marked Moment for the Remnant to Rise Up and to Cry out for Mercy in the midst of Judgement,…

…In that moment, as I watched the Silver Arrow Fly,…I knew that the Silver Arrow was in fact God’s Mercy before Final Rot…gave way to full Retribution…

…It was the last act of divine Restraint before Judgment would fall,.. a Holy intervention sent to expose the decay and the rot in the root and the fruit before total destruction could come….!!

…I knew that the Silver arrow spoke to the Redemptive Word of the Lord…sharp, precise, and filled with Kingdom Purpose and Destiny….God’s arrows are not instruments of random Destruction but they are weapons of Surgical Mercy released in the midst of Judgement and Great Harvest,…

…They are Arrows of Awakening Before the Rot of Corruption has time to destroy the Harvest,…He sends forth His Word to pierce and to separate,…to Divide and Conquer,..to Expose Truth from Deception….and Light from Darkness….

…In the Silver arrow which only struck the fruit sitting on the Head (Head – Speaks to Knowledge)…I submit prophetically means that the Arrow of God’s Truth is going forth in this hour to fully Reveal the Rot and to destroy the Counterfeit Covering so that the Nation/s can be spared…

…But if the person/Leader/Nation/State/Church clings to the very thing that the Silver Arrow of God is targeting…; Pride,…False Identity,…Human Knowledge and Deception,…then the Silver arrow becomes the Instrument of Judgment without Restraint..!!

…I submit prophetically that the Lord is speaking that His Rod/Arrow of Correction NOW…is Mercy before Final Rot takes over….; there is a Pregnant Pause and a small Window of Time that stands open over the Nations,…over the Church in which to Align with Heaven’s Time,…

…A Clarion Call for True Repentance…For a Time of Divine Awakening,…Exposure, Purification and Separation has surely begun.. the Hour is Late the Final Time of Judgement and Great Harvest is HERE…!!!

Blessings to you all.

The rise of the Fourth Reich in UK – Revd Chris Wickland (Richard’s Watch goes full circle: 20)

Posted on by

PROLOGUE

WHEELS-within-wheels continue with Revd Christopher’s video message showing events really are happening as outlined 16 years ago in my very first email/blog The Endgame IS Now In Play of 29 February 2009. Therein I write,

‘However, (forbidding prayer for patients in hospital) is just one instance of the growing persecution of believers, principally through a policy supposedly promoting toleration but that’s now a tyrannical tool of intolerance – Equality & Diversity. There are other powers of suppression. Even the previous director of MI5 warns about UK sleep-walking into a police state … Rampant lawlessness now exists not only in society but also within legal authorities – laws not approved by Parliament – ‘snoop and snitch’ culture – correction punished and evil behaviour rewarded – ID cards and routine interception of email and phones – etc etc. Clearly, Banking isn’t the only thoroughly corrupt UK institution.’

Several posts herein plus more on my personal Facebook and blog’s Telegram feature on police activity and arrests turning the UK into a fascist farce, and ridiculed across the ‘pond’ at presidential level. AND PM Starmer has digital identity cards in the pipeline!

SO we’re getting Apocalyptic, as in Revelation 13’s Mark of the Beast as I warned about from a personal insight “maSks only one letter away from maRk” (2024 summary).

So, it’s most encouraging that some church leaders have started speaking out….

Please take time to watch this half-hour sermon and I’m grateful to Chris Wickland for kindly providing this summary of the heart of this most serious issue (emphases RB):

THE RISE OF THE FOURTH REICH – Chris Wickland

What I want to talk about today is what I call the rise of the Fourth Reich.

In Nazi Germany, there was the Third Reich. For those who don’t know, “Reich” means kingdom or empire. According to Hitler:

  • The First Reich was the Roman Empire.
  • The Second Reich was Germany in its heyday.
  • The Third Reich was Hitler’s attempt to bring Germany to global prominence, which led to terrible atrocities under the guise of progress and nationalism.

The other night, Tracy and I watched the Bonhoeffer movie—Pastor, Spy, Assassin.

Watching it gave me chills because I saw parallels in Britain today. Initially, I thought the message was too strong, too much to share. But after recent events, it’s clear this is a time to speak, to challenge what’s happening.

In Bonhoeffer’s day, pastors were arrested for speaking the truth — 800 of them. How many pastors in Britain today would dare to speak the truth? Few, because reputation matters more than the cause of Christ.

A quote from the Daily Telegraph highlights current issues (RB: DT search results):

“The news that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are to be banned from attending Aston Villa’s Europa League match in Birmingham is perhaps the highest-profile example yet of two-tiered policing. This case lays bare an ugly truth about British policing in 2025. The police have chosen to afford different rights to different groups. Israelis—or Jews—have again been relegated to second-class status. Imagine if it involved mainly Muslim supporters—would the outcome have been the same?”

This is happening in our nation. Subtle, clever propaganda is at work. We’re told actions are “for their safety” — a tactic reminiscent of totalitarian control.

Before diving further, let’s ground ourselves in Scripture. Ephesians 5:11 says:

“Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead expose them.”

Every Christian has a responsibility to speak, to act, to stand. To not speak is to speak. To not act is to act. There is no neutrality. You are either for righteousness or for darkness!

The Church is called to be children of the light, shining in this dark hour. Alarmingly, many churches today are doing their best to do nothing.

The Church’s prophetic role is to hold those in power accountable. This is what Bonhoeffer emphasized. If the Church needs to raise her voice, it is NOW!

I witnessed people at a protest in Southampton, hugging me, crying, grateful to see Christians with the courage to stand for truth and defend the nation. Grown adults were moved by someone simply wearing a clerical collar.

Consider the treatment of Jewish people:

  • banned under the guise of “safety,”
  • denied access to events, while governments and institutions remain silent.
  • Last year, London’s largest Christmas market was told to rename itself a “Winter Market” to avoid offending anyone.
  • This is cultural erasure.

It’s also a spiritual war. Cultural Marxism, political correctness, woke ideology—they infiltrate churches and society alike.

Compassion has become a cult, replacing justice and righteousness.

Christians must resist being duped by misleading agendas like Black Lives Matter or pro-Palestinian narratives that, at their core, aim to delegitimize Jews.

Zechariah 12:3 reminds us of the End-times significance of hatred against Jews:

“…all who lift it [Jerusalem] will be severely injured, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.”

We see a subtle global hatred for Jews, often hidden behind terms like “anti-Zionist.” Yet Zionism simply affirms Jews’ right to their homeland. To oppose that is to oppose them.

The Church must not stay silent.

Many denominations today, including state churches and evangelicals, have taken pro-Palestinian stances. Some even forbid praying for Israel.

Those who remain quiet or complicit are aiding a cultural agenda reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

Matthew 5:13-16 teaches:

“You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden… Let your light shine before men…”

Churches have lost their saltiness. Many fear offending or being labeled extremist, prioritizing reputation over obedience. Yet Jesus called us to take up our cross daily, to live sacrificially, and to let our light shine.

History shows that Hitler promised the Church safety if it stayed out of politics. Today, Christians are told the same. But Scripture calls us to influence the world for God’s Kingdom — to be yeast in the dough, salt in the wounds, light in the darkness.

Who do we serve? The Jewishness of Jesus is suppressed in our churches. He is not a “nice white hippie”; He is the Jewish Messiah, and He will reign from Israel. Hatred of Israel or Jews is incompatible with serving Christ.

Acts 5:29:

“We must obey God rather than man.”

Romans 13 teaches submission to authority — but only when it aligns with God’s will. When governments contradict Scripture, Christians must stand for God, not man. [RB note verse 4 – governments are to act against – NOT promote and practice – evil.]

Christianity today faces persecution—sometimes subtle, sometimes overt. Those who speak truth are labeled fascists, Nazis, or racist. Yet those truly operating in that spirit are often anti-Semitic, woke, or culturally Marxist—mirroring the Church of the Third Reich.

Faith without action is dead. Silence in the face of evil is complicity. Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned:

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless.”

This is the defining hour: light or darkness, truth or compromise. The Church must stand, proclaim righteousness, and resist the rise of the Fourth Reich in our time.

Amen.

PS to The Kingdom, churches and politics…

A long-time subscriber and friend Elaine Venning makes this noteworthy contribution to The Kingdom, churches and politics: Professor Lennox addresses Parliament and it is strongly suggestive of the Lord’s interest and input:

Dear Richard

This is timely – following on from dear Veronika’s plea for the church to get her head and therefore identity, out of Delilah’s lap before she finds herself shaved and led into captivity.

Timely in your reference to Magna Carta as in the North at Durham Cathedral there has been a very good highlighting of Magna Carta for much of the year, as they celebrate the 800th anniversary of its definitive version, willingly signed by John’s son Henry III on turning 18 and therefore assuming the governance that for the previous 9 years had been in the hands of his guardians. The document was never changed after this version became law and it was added to the statute book in 1297.

Durham Cathedral / Events – Magna Carta and the North

In the chapter house the Cathedral have set up 5 large prayer stations with the following topics all taken from Magna Carta –

  • Accountability of Leaders;
  • Equal Access to Justice;
  • Equality before the Law;
  • Defence of the Vulnerable;
  • Sanctity of Life… I suggest these are all highly relevant today.

The then Archbishop Stephen Langton played a key role in stewarding this and helping to uphold it. Would to God the C of E could see its opportunity. Durham is a vacancy in See after Bishop Paul retired earlier this year.

There will have been a considerable number of people who have had access to this exhibition

Am tempted to email Danny Kruger and suggest Reform take up the cry of Magna Carta. It was document born in political crisis.

Shalom, love and prayer
Elaine

I respond, ‘LOL Elaine, The video was recommended on our men’s Bible breakfast group as we’d chatted about church staying out of politics, with which I disagree! SO thinking of posting it I got nudged to refer to Magna Carta and you bring the Lord’s confirming it. Don’t you just love His God-incidents.’

‘UNITE THE KINGDOM’

I’ve been considering Britain’s seriously fallen state and the apparent abdication of church leaders to take a stand over applying Christian principles on behalf of our nation – but some even denigrated those who took part in the momentous march in London on 13th September calling to ‘Unite the Kingdom’!

BACK TO BASICS

So, what does Jesus say about nations, or people groups, and His Father’s Kingdom and how to govern them?

BibleGateway has 365 references (a daily dose!) in the New King James Version of the Bible, of which 155 are in the New Testament and I’m particularly interested in Jesus instructing His first disciples to use this model prayer (Matthew 6.9-13) and its later application:

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

After His Resurrection and prior to His Ascension to heaven they were instructed as follows (Matthew 28:18-20):

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Thus, the Great Commission entails telling not-yet believers in all people groups about Jesus, baptising them into Father’s Kingdom and teaching them its values and to apply them as the ideal way to live together in harmony: that is, how to govern themselves by Godly political principles!

PARLIAMENTARY ADDRESS

I recall that when covering the 808th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta one of the postings refers to the Biblical foundation to governing of our nation having been laid by King Alfred the Great.

808th anniversary of the Magna Carta – or should it be 1,408th?

Now, over to Professor John Lennox, as broadcast by Christians in Parliament:

Heretical Church of England expelled from global Anglicans

Posted on by

REPRISE:

In 2017 Revd William Smith and I asked Rebels? In Church? Just Who’s Rebelling? and my recent End-Times Briefing 23 was the latest on apostasy within the Church of England.

Now at last, this weekend saw GAFCON’s announcement severing communion with heretical Canterbury: a cutting off, separation and coming out of false teaching.

‘The Gafcon movement of orthodox Anglicans is forging its own path away from the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury with the launch of the Global Anglican Communion.

It will be distinct from the worldwide Anglican Communion that is under the spiritual leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury and which recognises other Institutes of Communion like the Lambeth Conference, the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC), and the Primates’ Meeting of senior archbishops.

Unveiling its plans on Thursday, Gafcon said its intention was to “reorder” the Anglican Communion with only the Bible as its foundation. It will not recognise the Archbishop of Canterbury or other Institutes of Communion. 

“We cannot continue to have communion with those who advocate the revisionist agenda, which has abandoned the inerrant word of God as the final authority and overturned Resolution I.10, of the 1998 Lambeth Conference,” said the Most Rev Dr Laurent Mbanda, Chairman of the Gafcon Primates’ Council, and Primate of Rwanda. 

“Therefore, Gafcon has re-ordered the Anglican Communion by restoring its original structure as a fellowship of autonomous provinces bound together by the Formularies of the Reformation, as reflected at the first Lambeth Conference in 1867, and we are now the Global Anglican Communion...’  (continue emphases mine).

Their Communique begins (underscoring added, emboldening by Gafcon,):

‘To our dear Anglican brothers and sisters in Christ. Grace and peace to you in the name of our risen Lord Jesus Christ, on the Commemoration of the martyrdom of Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley.

The first Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) gathered in 2008 in Jerusalem to prayerfully respond to the abandonment of the Scriptures by some of the most senior leaders of the Anglican Communion, and to seek their repentance.

In the absence of such repentance, we have been prayerfully advancing towards a future for faithful Anglicans, where the Bible is restored to the heart of the Communion.

Today, that future has arrived.

Our Gafcon Primates gathered this hour to fulfil our mandate to reform the Anglican Communion, as expressed in the Jerusalem Statement of 2008….’ (continue reading)

End-times Briefing 25: disposing of ‘Rapture ritual’ – Andrew Whalen

Posted on by
Reply

First, a reminder of my perspective on End-times as blogged on 23rd February 2023:

“Occupy (ie. do My business) until I come” – Luke 19

Then four weeks later:

OCCUPY NOW! DOUBLY RE-ITERATED BY THE LORD!!

One of my Canadian friends emailed me yesterday about a prophetic insight of which I was aware on Andrew Whalen’s Facebook, viz: (LOL here’s my ’22’ again!)

“I don’t want to overshare everything that I ‘hear’ or get from the Lord.. and so I don’t want to fatigue people with that.. or make it seem like I know it all — I certainly do not!!

But the following is something that came strongly today, and although controversial in the church world, I believe the Lord is looking to address this more than ever now! (Especially in light of the rapture predictions that just keep popping up over and over and steal our energy, focus, and mission— roll the eyes)

I’m going to share what I ‘received’ and some of my thoughts.. weigh it for sure, and its ok if not all agree,— but at least we can start having some conversations.

Today I was driving and I heard:

“The ‘end times’ is a phrase that was hijacked by the enemy, who through nefarious channels of infiltration, charged and infused the phrase with lies, gnostic fallacy, distorted paradigms, injected meanings and understandings that intentionally frames our reality towards an agenda directed by darkness. — Now whenever the church uses the phrase ‘end times’ they enter into the power of that ritual.

Its ultimate effect is the negation of the original charter of the Ekklesia, To posses the gates of our enemies.”

My additional thoughts are as follows:

There needs to be a recovery of what the full counsel of God is through scripture on the actual meaning of End -Times’ / the Last days, but to do so means we also have to understand there was indeed intentional occult programming around it- and we must dissect the Holy from the profane!

I believe the consequences of entering the ‘end times ritual’, keeps us focused on escape instead of expansion. We surrender our inheritance of the earth to the devil. We give our keys away that were given to re-establish edenic ‘authority’.

When we enter the ‘end times ritual’, we abdicate our responsibility to overcome evil with good. It minimizes the Abrahamic covenant to an etherial world only realized after we leave the Earth. It disengages the Lord’s call to make disciples of nations.

It makes futile the call to be salt and light for the purpose of societal transformation. It allows evil to increase because that is the frame of expectation. Escape to heaven becomes our constant obsession, instead of the explicit aim of the Lord’s prayer to advance heaven on Earth. Etc. Etc.

Controversial? Certainly! – But some worthwhile food for thought.”

Canadian Paul Morris writes about Andrew’s preceding points:
“I am quite familiar with Andrew Whalen and his ministry. He shared this word recently and stated it should be taken to the HS and weighed – which is what Paul was told to write to the Thessalonians “prove all things hold fast to that which is good”.

It’s been almost 10 yr since HS started revamping my “theology” that had been ingrained from years of being taught in churches of various evangelical denominations. I have listened as to this topic, to some ministers who’ve also had their view on this changed, such as Rebz Marcelo, Johnny Enlow, Diana Larkin, and others.

HS has been asking them to do what He had me do in teaching others, and sharing with others, which is to challenge errant theologies, in order to wake the believers to the commission they’re called to – which is to arise and do the works Jesus did while incarnate, through the power of the HS – as the verse says “for this the Son of God was manifested, to destroy the works of the devil”. He said before ascending that all authority in heaven and earth was given Him, then He bequeathed it to us His believers, telling us to go into all the world , preach the gospel, cleanse the lepers, heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons, freely we’ve received freely give.

We’re told that the same Spirit that empowered His earthly ministry, and raised Him from the dead dwells in us to empower us to do what He commanded. For 200 years since Darby then Scofield promoted the theory of “rapture” as He told Andrew in this word, the enemy has largely side-lined and negated the ekklesia from the mission they’re called to do.”

End-times Briefing 24: Bible prophecy on Catholic apostasy

Posted on by
Reply

Briefing 23 cites 2Thessalonians 2.3 and 1Timothy 4.1 on the prophesied falling away from faith and foundational Christian tenets, and reports on heretical teaching within the Anglican communion and the new Archbishop of Canterbury’s very dubious stance.

Now, we consider the apostasy within the Roman Catholic church as reported by the former Papal Legate to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, whom the late Argentinian pope excommunicated for strongly denouncing his heresy.

This blog and The Gateway Pundit have frequently featured his excellent articles, as here and here respectively; and here’s the latter’s latest on the new American pope.

MUST READ… Archbishop Viganò: Vatican’s Globalist Alliance — Bergoglio and Prevost Push “Replacement Migration” to Erase Western Christian Civilization

The Archbishop opens his guest post as follows::

‘Jorge Bergoglio’s monomaniacal obsession with indiscriminate immigration and miscegenation finds a zealous proponent in Robert Prevost.

The handover did not represent any radical change, either doctrinally or morally, or politically or socially. The conciliar-synodal Church is and remains the “Ancilla Novi Ordinis”, the courtesan of the globalist elite.

We know well that the migratory phenomenon is not spontaneous: it is not caused by famine, war, or religious persecution.

Instead, it was desired and planned as a means of destabilizing Western nations, and illegal immigration is used as an instrument of social subversion. This is stated in a United Nations document of March 21, 2000, entitled “Replacement Migration.” (continue reading his stern rebukes)

In TGP’s coverage we find superb White House Press Secretary, a Christian, rebuking this pope:

Karoline Leavitt Fires Back After Pope Leo XIV’s Thinly Veiled Swipe at Trump on Immigration

Moreover, a couple of days later on 11th October the Archbishop summarises in his ‘X files’ (!) seven decades of what he ardently regards is heresy within the Roman Church:

He writes,

‘Sixty-three years ago, on this day, the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council was solemnly opened, the first “council” of the church that takes its name from it – the “conciliar church” in fact.

– It was a “council” because it sought to “reconcile” God and the world, Christ and Belial, truth and falsehood, good and evil.

– It was “ecumenical” because it sought to legitimize interreligious dialogue, which the Roman Catholic Church had solemnly condemned.

– It called itself “second” to make people believe that it was in continuity with the perennial Catholic Magisterium, so that it could adulterate it by usurping the Authority of the Church and of the Roman Pontiff.

– It laid the pseudo-doctrinal foundations of today’s “synodal church,” which aims to subvert the hierarchical constitution of the Church and the Papacy.

Those who consciously adhere to this “council” are responsible for the demolition of the Catholic Church and ratify the conciliar and synodal coup with their complicity.’

This is ‘by-the-by’ for those adhering to the New Testament concept of the priesthood of all believers under the oversight of Biblically qualified leadership.

End-times Briefing 23: Bible prophecy on Anglican apostasy

Posted on by
1

About 1975 years ago in writing to the early church in Thessalonica, Apostle Paul draws his letter to a close by referring to ‘the Day of the Lord’ and in a follow-up he goes into further detail about Jesus’ expected return.

The second chapter of his second letter refers to a particularly startling indicator of the wider Church’s failure in the faith and implicit lack of holiness and obedience to Jesus, as expanded upon in the Amplified Bible, wherein the third verse reads:

‘Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the [a]apostasy comes first [unless the predicted great [b]falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come], and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition),…’
[Note a,b – A possible rendering of the Greek ‘apostasia’ is “departure [of the church”].

Paul returns to that perplexing topic about 10-15 years later and prophesies in his first letter to Timothy (chapter 4)

‘But the [Holy] Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in latter times some will turn away from the faith, giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach, 2 Through the hypocrisy and pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared (cauterized)…’

Other than citing holy writ and the essential principles of spiritual headship and thus accountability, especially vital in deliverance ministry, this blog has covered this matter from a newsworthy angle under #Apostasy tag. So the following items are offered for my readers’ consideration:

Revd Brett’s timeline > https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069715806030

Here is fellow watcher John Barber’s even-handed analysis of the ‘pros and cons’:

The CofE has a new archbishop

A few extracts:

‘Perhaps, one of the most significant things (upon reflection, and not surprisingly) coming out of this announcement, in terms of how different Christians, especially those in leadership positions, reacted, is that in the main those in the negative camp seemed to be in agreement with many of the views that I have long been posting on my Facebook page and blogs concerning some of the important, significant things happening in the UK and beyond, and those, in the main, in the positive camp taking an opposite view. It confirmed to me that not only is the nation divided but so is the church.’

‘Obviously, not being an Anglican and coming from a very Low Church camp, I am not going to agree with all that Father Calvin said, but I agree with much of it. While I agree that leadership in churches, especially when it comes to exercising authority over men, should be male, the only priesthood I recognize is that of all believers.

Not mentioned but something what really sealed it for me, in coming to a view, was reading a post by one of my detracting Facebook friends including a video clip of Sarah Mullally’s telling us back in the days of the Covid scamdemic that it was our Christian duty to take the jab (see here). Another powerful video highlighting the concerns of those who think a wrong choice was made with this appointment making several damming indictments, including her pro-choice stance on the matter of abortion and her supporting or allowing LBGTQ+ ideology to prevail, including the brainwashing of our children over transgenderism (see here).’

GOD-INCIDENCE

Whilst writing I’m called to join my wife watching the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem’s celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles with David Parsons speaking on the Lord’s calling all nations towards Jerusalem and thereby encouraging the Jews to look forward to their Messiah Jesus’s return. This was broadcast yesterday morning

The main scriptures David cites are Zechariah but I note his emphasis upon the ‘NOW’ of prophecies and that this was only hours before the most welcome announcement of a cease-fire in Gaza.

SO Isaiah 66’s reference to the ‘last days’ and Jerusalem are most apposite:

SELAH!

Faith in the Current Administration: The Most Openly Christian Administration in 200 Years

Dr. Antonio Graceffo, PhD, China MBA, economist and national security analyst with a focus on China and Russia, as well as graduate of American Military University writes.

‘The Trump administration is arguably the most openly Christian and pro-religious administration since the era of the founding fathers. While past presidents such as Jimmy Carter openly spoke of their faith and Ronald Reagan called for prayer in schools, no modern administration has gone as far in defending and advancing religious liberty.

Trump has restored protections for Christians, especially Catholics who faced persecution under the Biden administration. He has also enacted policies that strengthen the Christian values on which the nation was founded. Furthermore, his administration includes an unprecedented number of openly practicing Christians at the highest levels of government, making faith a defining feature of national leadership.

Among the many steps taken to protect Christians, and specifically Catholics who were persecuted under President Biden, Trump has enacted sweeping measures to restore religious liberty. He created the first-ever White House Faith Office in the West Wing, appointed faith liaisons across federal agencies, and established a Religious Liberty Commission...continue reading here.
