A prophetic word on “My Church of England” per Ezekiel 16 – Revd Christopher Wickland

Earlier today a notification prompted me to check Christopher Wickland’s Facebook in view of comments arising on the following prophetic word posted yesterday. Although a sad, salutary admonishment, it serves as a ‘coincidental’ confirmation of the second part of my postings on Jesus’ words will never pass away, and which covers the Anglican General Synod under the heading ‘Therefore ditch what He does NOT says!’  (Yet again ‘coincidentally’, my birthday number 22 suggests it’s timely.)

OH MY CHURCH OF ENGLAND (Prophetic Word)

Based on Ezekiel chapter 16

Church of England, I remember the day you were born. You were born from blood, heartache and treachery. You were despised by many at your birth, even in this green and pleasant land. Yet I saw you in your infancy, in your nativity and I took compassion upon you. And when I passed by you and saw you in your blood of birth I said, “Live! Yes I said to you in your blood, “Live!”

I caused you to multiply and grow in strength, in honour and dignity. You grew in stature before Me, you became beautiful and regal in this land. A beautiful Amethyst set in green clover. You were Mine and I was yours. Through you this land was blessed, this land was safe, I was pleased to call you My church. You excelled in your beauty and became the honour of kings, queens and the mighty.

I clothed you with embroidered work and dressed you with fine linen and covered you with silk. I decked you with ornaments and I put bracelets upon your hands and a chain upon your neck. I gave to you the privilege of anointing kings and queens. I bequeathed to you great honour, riches and prestige.

However, in time you trusted in your own beauty and strength. You became proud and pompous and slowly but surely you turned your back on Me. You played the harlot because of your renown. You took the gold, the silver and the jewels I gave you and made for yourself images of men and did commit harlotry. You have set my oil, incense, flesh and blood before a profane altar. You have abandoned Me in pursuit of your own glory instead of promoting Mine.

I have heard your profane prayers, I have seen your abominations and wickedness. You have forsaken Me in your pursuit to hunt down power, influence and lovers. I have to call you what you are, you have become a harlot before Me.

However, there are many who have not defiled and soiled their garments within you, there are many who grieve over you. There are many who have cried, travailed and prayed to Me on your behalf. To those who have remained faithful to Me I say this, “Because of you and your intercessions, I will relent from a full chastisement to the Church of England.” You will see some painful days coming as My chastisement is worked out. I will half her strength and greatly humble her. She will lose her position of honour for a season.

I will leave a remnant, those who love Me, who will not leave her but endure her pains as their own. I will leave her as a stump, but in time she will return to Me and fresh branches will grow and she will again increase in might. I will then turn to her and restore her and will love her again and be pleased to call her My church.

For thus says Adonai, the LORD, I shall deal with you as you have done, you who have despised the oath you took before Me. Nevertheless I shall remember the oath sworn by those previous and I will remember you and look kindly upon you as I did at your nativity. I will remain faithful to those who have remained faithful to Me.

Finally to My faithful, be strong, be courageous and endure the chastisement, set your faces like flint and look for the joy set before you. You will see the harlot become true again and I promise to restore her and be pleased to call her My own in the days ahead.

RB Footnotes:
  • A cleric reminds Christopher of Jesus’ instruction to avoid judging and thus first remove the plank from one’s eye (Matt 7). I note “We are to correct our brethren who fall into apostasy, are we not?” (Am not one for citing verses but recall ‘All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness’ – 2 Tim 3:16 – and this prophecy is based upon Ezekiel 16, ‘Jerusalem as an Adulterous Wife’; NIV)
  • Personally, although brought up in Catholic church my heart is for ALL churches to follow our Lord Jesus closely and we attended an Anglican parish church presided over by a couple of Spirit-led ministers. However, when Archbishop Welby failed to stand upon scripture some years ago, thereby allowing demonic access-rights, we moved to a Bible-based church. Not long afterwards three couples followed us.

PostScript to ‘….Therefore, ditch what He does NOT teach!!’

My reference to others’ opinions in the previous part, as putting themselves in spiritual danger, is not to cause offence; but I’m very concerned over believers failing to benefit personally from Jesus’ torturous death.  I can attest to the fact of having almost died and been dropped into hell as an unsaved soul upon His visiting me in 1989, as told in this post:

On a trapdoor into Hell – Jesus swoops to the rescue!

Moreover, that was an astonishing holy contrast with what scared the wits out of me years earlier when confronted by the gigantic demonic devourer!

A letter to the editor of the Telegraph from VB published last Saturday supports my previous post on the fatherhood of God and arrives at the correct conclusion:

Thank you VB for it is well-worth noting and remembering your personal testimony.

Jesus says, “My words will never pass away!” – Therefore, ditch what He does NOT teach!!

Therefore, in other words, ditch demonic doctrines sown in Jesus’ harvest field or else perish by being culled and burned, just as He promises in Matthew 13 parable on wheat and tares, and as in the adage “Good riddance to bad rubbish!” (Initially, this post’s title referred to the contrast with current ‘theological’ news, as below.)

As we further consider the implication of Jesus words never passing away, please bear with my brevity on this unsavoury aspect but FIRST, FOCUS ON FATHER and know that, had the Church of England taken on board what Bishop David Pytches of St Andrews Chorleywood brought home of the Toronto Blessing in the mid-1990’s (I was visiting when he reported upon his return), then it wouldn’t have got into such an unsafe and unsound doctrinal mess!

The major internationally recognised, theological outcome of that Outpouring in Canada was that of the Father-heart of God, which accords with it being the vital foundation in prayer ministry for healing and deliverance as taught, for example, by Ellel Ministries.

“The books are being opened” – come, feast on Father

By Revd William Smith

The day I was moved by Matthew 24:35 on Jesus’ words, this year’s Anglican General Synod (sin-nod) was convened and, despite the Archbishop of York’s call for unity in his President’s Address based upon The Lord’s Prayer, disquieting news soon spread:

Further news emerged:

NOW we have this opinion from the lead lay-person encouraging the CoE’s divergence from Jesus’ teachings, as read some years ago in the House of Bishops papers (wherein holy writ gets distorted),, and which is published in today’s Telegraph – so assess for yourself:

Does this person and similar folk not recognise it’s far safer to stand up for our Saviour than stand in for the serpent that was kicked out of heaven and will eventually be cast into the lake of fire?

NB. I’m not being offensive but very concerned over self-styled believers not benefitting from Jesus’ torturous death for them personally. I can attest to the fact of having almost died and dropped into hell as an unsaved soul.

CHURCH & POLITICS

Also, consider what drivel this UTTER LACK of authoritative teaching from Anglican leaders is now responsible for:

HERE’s an example of how teaching these falsehoods seriously affects the governing of this once Christian nation. Note: being politically ‘conservative’ I will now no longer vote for a party that does this:

We must pray for and support our brother as we watch the deserved demise of that once principally Christian political party. Also that Holy Spirit convicts them of their deep sinfulness and bring true repentance – make each an offer about personal future post-mortem status they can’t refuse!

Since reading this verse early Thursday morning 6th April, I’ve been meditating upon it and especially how it puts current and future events into perspective. (Subsequent daily verses then formed a topical thread, as on my Facebook.)

Click to read the full chapter, also known as ‘The Olivet Discourse’ wherein Jesus tells His disciples about End-times and specifically prophesies the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, which happened about 40 years later. He foretells of false teachers and false prophets and great ‘falling away’ or full-blown apostasy, yet alongside full global evangelism, as Signs of the Times and End of the Age, with it’s Great Tribulation and His Return. The chapter continues from verses 32 to 37 and beyond

“Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.  Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it [He] is near, right at the door.  Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.  Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

The Day and Hour Unknown

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.  As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.”

Thus, verse 35 alludes to a possible pre-Genesis and beyond Revelation period of non-existence of the earth, humanity, creatures, plants and physical objects, as well as the sun, moon, planets, asteroids, stars, galaxies and black holes, plus the entire electro-magnetic spectrum, physical forces and sub-atomic particles!

In other words, it would be an universal void with no sentient beings!!

My contemplation can imagine a situation where everything and everyone vanishes: all that exists IS ONLY ALL the words Jesus ever speaks, like  R~E~D  L~E~T~T~E~R~S   F~L~O~A~T~I~N~G   on an I_M_M_E_N_S_E invisible scroll.

Moreover, we know that before and right ‘In the Beginning’ Jesus really IS THE WORD which God spoke out to create the heavens and the earth that we live upon. His close disciple John perceived this truly awesome spiritual reality:

‘In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend [overcome] it.’

Furthermore, readers may recall how that first verse sits geometrically as the base of a triangle the apex of which is the opening verse of Genesis:

‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.’

For details click title of this post:

Amazing geometrical symmetry of Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 (cont’d)

AND we must not forget that in his first letter John describes what it was really like to know that awesome superhuman-being personally,

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning The Word of life..”

Consequently, John must not have been at all surprised during his deep experience of the ‘The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave Him to show His servants,’ to hear that ‘The Testimony (ie. ‘WORD’) of Jesus is The Spirit of Prophecy’!!

Thus, this puts all else – especially sin and all demonic beings and works such as rebellion against the written Word – into the perspective of non-existence. Or not quite, because Jesus doesn’t refer to the spirit-realm and Hell, which we expect to continue, or else The Holy Trinity would not be THE eternal divinity.

Also, as the Word exists and will never perish then Jesus’ Presence and speech is always in the present tense. So by His statement in Matthew, we can regard all Jesus’ recorded and unrecorded words (John 21:25) as being said not just in the past, BUT ALWAYS in the ‘here and now’.

Hence my thinking of and describing Jesus as “Always Now”!

In view of my interest in Time and science it’s salutary to contemplate it all. I encourage you to consider it, but note that not only was this a visual theological exercise over that weekend but also it gives an authoritative scriptural answer to the issues of our day, as exemplified by closure of accounts over transgenderism and how the Anglican General Synod that had just convened handles that topic.

IN mulling over all that and more, I had in mind to blog these thoughts as best I can. Furthermore, soon after awaking on Thursday, the 110th anniversary of my father’s birth, I ask how to connect those events succinctly within the post’s title along with Matthew 24:35. Next, simply using ‘therefore’ dropped into mind.

Minutes later the Lord CONFIRMS IT upon my seeing the first word in the Verse of the Day and upon which I shared the impact of this latest ‘God-incidence’:

[More prophecy-related news on my Telegram channel]

So thank and praise the Lord. In another post we’ll consider what this post title’s ‘Therefore’ is there for….

PREAMBLE

The above Facebook screenshot isn’t shown because it’s yet another ‘coincidental’ appearance of my birthday number, but to introduce a ‘BOBOB’ – Background of Bit of Bother. On Tuesday morning prolific prophet Chris Bennett found he was blocked out of Facebook and unable to post anything. Linda sought help from a couple of friends who, like her, could publish his new items on their timeline. Therefore, Chris began moving over to Telegram under the moniker of ‘Ancient Disciple’ and wrote the above update which she posted, and over which I chuckled in view of 22!!

Soon to follow, Chris brought another word relating to this blog’s strap-line, ‘Looking for signs of Jesus’ return’:

THE LION AND THE EAGLES – Chris G Bennett

I’m seeing a Lion sitting next to an Eagle

A large ‘crowd’ of Eagles sit behind them and one of the crowd separated and joined the Lion.

The Lion was looking this way and that, giving the appearance of scanning what laid before him.

However, I knew this, I don’t know, yet I knew that I knew that this was Jesus with the ‘two witnesses’ of Revelation 11!

The company of prophets was gathered behind them, watching and waiting expectantly.

I sat and watched this quiet scene unfold gently before my eyes. Jesus would look, perhaps intently, I couldn’t quite discern that, but as He looked, so the two witnesses turned to look in the same direction apparently seeing the same things.

Then a further revelation came by The Spirit. They were strategising — Jesus explaining, their roles in Revelation 11, and then the woes that followed.

In my mind, I thought, “Really? Surely that’s a way off still?”

Then The LORD spoke to me, firmly, “How long is not your concern, although it’s not as far off as most people think!

How many times have I told you to tell My People that I AM coming SOON?

Don’t stop! — keep telling them! Keep warning them!

Even so, some will still ignore the Warning and be left behind!”

Jesus is coming soon, sooner than you think!

Prepare for a coming war – Christopher Wickland

Posted on by
Reply

NB: As with all prophetic words this is to be weighed and prayed about as well as tested. A valuable ensuing discussion may be found on Christopher’s Facebook:

Another prophetic word today.

WAR IS COMING

1 Samuel 14:6. ‘Jonathan said to his armour bearer, “Come on, let’s go across to the garrison of these uncircumcised people. Maybe ADONAI will do something for us, since ADONAI can rescue with a few people as easily as with many.’

“The days of Saul have been numbered. The season of Saul always starts well but sometimes goes astray. To be a man or woman who loves Me is not enough to be one who leads My people. Many Pastors in this day have been Sauls. Men and women who love Me, yet lean on their own understanding. Saul is great at strategy and war-craft, but his emphasis is always on his own strength and his own abilities, he doesn’t think to look to Me for wisdom, counsel and might. Such things would be considered foolish to Saul. Saul is one who fears man and his opinions. He capitulates to the pressures of man instead of following in My ways.

1 Samuel 13:8-9. ‘Saul waited seven days, as Samuel had instructed; but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal; so the army began to drift away from him. Saul said, “bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings,” and he offered the burnt offering.’

When the pressure is on, Saul will justify his ends, even when it violates my word, written or prophetic.

1 Samuel 13:13-14. ‘“You did a foolish thing. You didn’t observe the commandment of ADONAI, which He gave you. If you had, ADONAI would have set up your kingship over Israel forever. But as it is, your kingship will not be established. ADONAI has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and ADONAI has appointed him to be prince over His people, because you did not observe what ADONAI ordered you to do.’

I am taking away the kingdom from My Sauls and giving it to My Jonathans and the Davids. I have seen how over the last thirty years many Sauls have hounded and tried to put down the Jonathans and the Davids. You have sought them out and oppressed and suppressed them. Because like Saul, you saw something in them which you knew you lacked. You considered them to be dangerous for you.

Yes some of them were young, immature and underdeveloped in maturity. Yes many of them were rough around the edges. But Saul, you were to bless them, and train them up. You were supposed to teach them your strengths and abilities that it may help them overcome their shortcomings. In fairness some Sauls have done the right thing and trained and equipped my Davids.

A war is coming, the likes never seen before in modern days. The enemy will be considered a giant to many, too strong and too powerful to topple. The might of Saul will simply not prevail in these days. Only those with the spirit of Caleb, Joshua, Jonathan, David, Esther and Deborah will prevail in the days ahead.

For it is not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit. (Zechariah 4:6). In the days ahead I will pour out My Spirit for My people to do exploits. Some shall run through a troop, leap over a wall or slay the Goliaths of the day. But the ways of Saul will simply not work or suffice in those days.

I need My people to be daring, to be bold, to expect Me to move as they run and charge the enemy as David did to Goliath. (1 Samuel 17:48)

These are the days of Elijah. These are the days of mighty prophets and great leaders to arise. My church needs shepherds and My church requires mighty men and women who are valiant in the realms of faith and prayer to lead My people to battle.

It is time to take the promised land. It is time to take the land for Me and reinstate My statutes and ways over this nation again as it once was. This battle will be long and it will be arduous, it will take a generation to reinstate that which was lost.

This nation needs to be ready and come back to how she once was if she is to be ready for the last days and face off the rise of the antichrist and his beastly worker of miracles. The sands of time are slipping away, but as the top of the hour-glass runs out, the bottom of the hour-glass is the increase of My glory and power over My people.

Some of My Jonathans and Davids are old men and women now, but I say to you, Be like Caleb! Gird your sword on your thigh and go to war, fight and be strong in the power of My might, not your own. (Ephesians 6:10). Your age is irrelevant for I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh including children, young people, middle- aged and the elderly.

In your weakness you are strong. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). I command you not to disqualify yourselves. David was a youth when he slew Goliath and Caleb was an old man when he fought the enemies of Israel. Your age and experience is nothing to Me. I require you to have a humble and contrite heart, (Psalm 51:17) I require you to simply say, “Here I am. Send me.” (Isaiah 6:8)

Finally I say to My Sauls, “You need to prepare the Jonathans and Davids and be prepared to hand the keys over to them.”

If you do this I will exceedingly reward you with honour and blessings. My Sauls, many of you have done well and run a good race, but you need to know that everything is about to change. You need to be brave and strong and when I instruct you, hand over the keys.

A new darkness is coming, a new enemy from the pit is being released, the old ways will no longer work or suffice. Only the warriors of faith will prevail against the unclean spirits that are coming. I love you My church, I love you all dearly. It’s time to begin, it’s time to dust off your swords, oil your shields, and put on the armour of God. It’s time to go to war!”

Christopher Wickland 27/06/23

DISCUSSION EXTRACTS:

Diana C: I assume you mean actual war, rather than spiritual warfare? Or maybe both?

Chris W: Diana C honestly I don’t know. I am re reading what I believe God gave me today and I have to be honest, I only kind of understand in part what this message is about.

Fiona Y: Diana C – war is more than spiritual, artillery etc; it can be financial, psychological, biological, tyrannical, transhuman etc etc…

Fiona Y: Karen C – we’re already in a war and it’s progressively getting worse. Christopher Wickland is correct. The darkness is creeping in and Jesus is turning us into living lights. Christopher is often given the same prophetic insights as me – that is because we are pilot prophets or Waymakers – specifically called to warn, prepare, make way, declare God’s provision and intercede. Praise God we are all called to different parts of the puzzle!!!

Latest examples of the Great Apostasy in Britain – Holy Writ on eunuchs

Posted on by

Further to the prophetic word on the Great Apostasy let’s not overlook Apostle Paul’s insight recorded in 2 Thessalonians 2: and 1 Timothy 4:

“Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of [a]Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition…”

“Now the Spirit [a]expressly/explicitly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of  demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth….”

Now, some screenshots with extracts and links of latest three examples on this ‘falling away’ before we check what Isaiah and Jesus say about eunuchs:

The Great Apostasy of The Church – Revd Christopher Wickland

Posted on by
Reply

As 60th posting on this topic it’s not new to my regular readers and it connects into my coverage of satanic strategies, of which apostasy is a major one alongside anti-Israel and removal of the Jewish people from Jerusalem – hence, none for Jesus to come back there for!

Upon reading the following by Christopher Wickland on Tuesday it struck a chord on my ruminations upon Sunday’s Verse of the Day, as shown above.  Here’s the Lord’s follow-on via Christopher:

The end, but not the end of the established churches:

“The end has come for my people; I will never again overlook their offences. When the time comes, the songs in the temple will be wailings,” says Adonai ELOHIM. “There will be many dead bodies; everywhere silence will reign.” (Amos 8:2-3)

“Oh apostate church, you who have left the anchor of My Truth. You who are cowardly at heart and weak-kneed. You who spin and capitulate to the dance of the world.

Oh apostate church, some of you used to be Mine, whilst others never loved Me. Why did you turn from Me? Was I not good enough for you and to you? Yet I hear you say, “How Lord have we turned from you? We still honour you, we still call ourselves by your Name.”

Oh apostate church, you honour Me with your lips, but your heart is far from Me. You pay lip-service to Me, but deep inside your heart is rotten to the core. You break My heart with your ways, the ways of a harlot. You look to the world for your so-called just causes. You seek them out and flirt with them like a harlot seeking a lover.

Do you think I delight to speak like this? Do you think I want to talk to you like this? You trample on My Word as though it were trash. You twist it, break it and render it null and void with your hypocrisy and so-called wisdom.

I have given you time to repent of your deeds. I have allowed you much grace and many days for you to change. My heart is that you would change and turn from your wicked ways and come back to me. Although you are apostate, I still yearn that you would turn back to Me and follow My truth.

The time for your sins is almost up, the bowls filling up are almost complete. Yet I am calling Time on you now.

I will not allow your ways to further influence and infect My weak ones in the faith. You will no longer be permitted to gain more converts to your cause. You profane My sabbaths, you profane My Word, you profane the buildings which are devoted to Me with your harlotries and adulteries.

Therefore, I will make a sign of you to the nations. Many will shake their heads with shock and disbelief. You will be a proverb and a byword of warning to those around. I will not tolerate the sins of Jezebel in my church any more. Therefore, I call Time now on all Jezebel churches that claim to be of Me but are not.

It breaks my heart that I now have to call Time on the established institutions that claim to be of Me on this land of Britain. I will chastise you and great will be your pain. I will do to you what you least expect, I will pull your strength and your power away from you. You who have the ear of power will be rendered mute. If you can no longer speak for Me and My Truth, then you will not be permitted to speak at all.

I see those within you who are Mine: I have marked them and I see them. One day, some of those marked ones within whom you have marginalised and silenced, will come back and be the ones I use to raise your institutions back from the grave.

As for you apostates who lead My people into error: your Time has been called.

I know very well what you are up to. I see your heart even though you think I do not. You will all fall, and none shall remember you. Your names will not be great as some of you have hoped. No, I will make you forgotten, like smoke in the wind.

I speak now to those whose hearts have been rent and broken over My apostate ones. I have seen your tears and heard your many prayers. I have seen how you stood up for Me even when it cost you so much. I want to comfort you My people with these words. Firstly, you are remembered and your names are written in heaven for being those who stood up for Me and My Word.

Secondly, I will bring back that which you love so much. Yes, there will be a season of chastisement and I will rid the institutions of those wicked men and women. But night will pass and dawn will rise and healing will be in My wings and I will heal and resurrect that which I put down. I will bring back that which you so love and so cherish.

I love you My people, I love you with an everlasting love. Stay true to Me, keep your ways straight. I will never fail or forsake you. Just remain true to Me, for I am a jealous God and I will have no others before me. For those who have ears to hear, let them hear what is being said to the churches.”

Very first Word upon return confirms holiday End-times meditation

INTRO:

Recalling the gentle admonition “wait and tarry” in the expectation of its promise as we sauntered over the seas whilst island hopping I took time to consider how the Lord has covered, rescued and touched me throughout my life and on the coming heavenly city . I was prompted to ponder the  significance of my second name, by which my mother always called me – “John” – and how Jesus had referred to him when restoring Peter, as at John 21:22 : If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.”   (HA, didn’t realise the verse is my number until searching just now – so my birth-date pops up yet again!!)
Moreover, a prophet walking by me turned without stopping to say “Wait His Return!” That was many years ago, and the night of Visitation was a foretaste or ‘test-run’ of the actual event.  So we needs follow Jesus repeated admonition to “Watch!” and get back to this blog’s strap-line “Looking for the signs of Jesus’ Return“…

UPON returning home, what do I discover?….we must heed this closing exhortation from the Lord to Chris G Bennett:

We welcome the Greater Shakings from the Lord, embracing what remains – Veronika West

Posted on by
Reply

See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?  At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.

Having been personally pointed over 25 years ago to Hebrews 12:25-27 I’ve been watching for confirmation and its outworking so I was delighted to read what our sister Veronika posted earlier this morning on Facebook and at His Kingdom Prophecy from the Lord:

WELCOME THE GREATER SHAKINGS – AND EMBRACE WHAT WILL REMAIN!

I heard The Spirit say, ”There is a Shift! Yes, a mega-shift taking place in The Realm of The Spirit.

A mega-shift that heralds the rising of a New Kingdom Era within The Nations — the rising of The Sons of Thunder!

I say watch! For now The Sons will step forward in a greater way in the days ahead, as many fathers are suddenly called and caught up into a higher realm and dimension of My Glory.

See! For the Baton is now changing hands in The Realm of The Spirit, for a greater acceleration and demonstration of My Glory is now taking place, as Nations enter into the last lap of the race.

Again I say, these are The Says of Elijah! These are The Days where My Word and My Spirit shall come together like needle and thread.

Yes, like needle and thread to bring together what was scattered — divided, and torn in two.

Watch! For even as I said to My Servant Moses who stood before Pharaoh, so I say to you today, I AM The LORD, for I will remember and I will establish My Covenant — for I have heard the cries of My People!

I AM The LORD, and I will bring you out from under the heavy yoke and burdens of your oppressors.

I will Redeem! I will Restore. I will heal and deliver by the Power of My Righteous Right Hand in the days ahead.

Watch! For have I not said, I will use the wicked to destroy the wicked? [Psalm 34:21] For an invasion of a greater evil will bring utter devastation to their doors — for they will have nowhere to run and hide.

Their time is up, and the those who are corrupt will be fully exposed, and from their high and lofty places of self-promotion and self-preservation, they will fall and never recover!

Listen and pay attention to My Word!

I say, these are the days of Greater Shakings — Shakings that shall shake the house of the harlot, for these are the days of great trouble — trouble for evil troublers.

Watch, as I use the Chaldeans in the days ahead to bring them to their knees. Ha! For My Ways are not your ways and My Thoughts are not your thoughts!

AM I not The Creator of The Heavens and The Earth? For your enemies are my enemies, My Enemies are your enemies — and the earth is My Footstool.

Watch, as My Governing Hand of Justice and Judgment moves in this hour, for surely I tell you, the head and neck of the house shall surely be broken, and many will rejoice, shouting, “Babylon has fallen — and shall never recover!”

Watch, as I bring swift and severe destruction to the dynasties of the kingdom of darkness, for My Name will be feared among blood-thirsty and evil men, and My Name shall be lifted high among the stiff-necked and rebellious nations, and My Name shall cause every other name to bow in reverence and worship!

My Name shall be heard like the sound of ten thousand trumpets among the nations of the earth, for the Power of My Name in the mouths of My Remnant shall strike the earth like a rod of iron, and smash to pieces the thrones of wickedness in high places.

I say, Watch and Pray! For My Spirit shall move in strange and unfamiliar ways in the days ahead.

Lean not on your own understanding! Look up and stay on higher ground, for that which is to come will cause many to loose Hope, if their hope is not found in Me.

For I shall send a Swarming Locust, and, like a strong East Wind, they shall blow forth across the lands of The Nations to devour the devourer.

Yes, I will use the wicked as a mighty weapon to destroy the wicked, and they shall be consumed from within.

For I shall put within their wicked hearts a divine dissatisfaction and a discontent. The more they have, the more they will need.

They will drink — and yet remain thirsty! They will eat — and stay hungry!. And they shall never be filled nor become satisfied!

Watch! For a Tormenting Army shall be assigned to them that will cause many to take even their own lives.

I say again, Watch the Fig Tree in 2023, for it shall be the beginning of a new Seven Year Cycle.

Yes! A time of bread and wine. A season unto a great harvest of souls — for a greater outpouring of My Spirit shall be seen.

Watch! Look to My Vineyards, for a New Wineskin is now forming over many Nations.

My Remnant is rising to war for Divine Restoration and Recovery in the coming days. I tell you the Truth, eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, nor has it entered into the mind of man what I have prepared and planned for the days ahead!”

Blessings to you all.

Time to tarry…to wait and watch…

Posted on by
Reply

Now summer days are arriving with lots more time spent outdoors and less at the desk, this published by Veronika on Tuesday morning makes an ace kick-start for doing so, especially being on the theme of time spent waiting and watching – and getting close to the Lord:

Here by courtesy of His Kingdom Prophecy (click title for link):

IT’S TIME TO RAISE THE SAILS OF EXPECTATION

Those who wait and tarry will be caught up and carried by The Seven Spirit Winds of Restoration and Acceleration in the days ahead — only those who wait and tarry!

Friends, ministering unto God must proceed ministering unto men. Intimacy with The Father must proceed influence with men!

Intimacy builds the foundation to carry Revelation. The deeper the foundation of your Intimacy with God, the greater the Revelation that foundation is able to handle.

Shallow foundations can only carry shallow Revelation!

While in Prayer early this morning, I became aware that while I was waiting and tarrying in The Presence, there was coming an impartation of Divine Restoration and Acceleration over my life — but also over The Nations I have been carrying in my spirit of late.

The Nations of Africa were suddenly highlighted to me again a few days ago, and even as I was waiting and tarrying for The Nations of Africa, I heard these Words,

”Those who wait and tarry will come into Divine Restoration and Acceleration in this hour!

Those who wait will be taken higher, further and deeper.

Ask not for open doors, but hunger for deeper dimensions, for out of the deep will come the strategies for overcoming the powers of darkness.

I say to you, I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in Secret Places, so that you may “know” that I AM The LORD — The God of Israel — yes! Who has summoned ‘you’ by name!

Watch! For the sake of Jacob My Servant, of Israel My Chosen, I summon you ‘by name’ and bestow upon you a title of honour among Nations, though you do not acknowledge Me!”

As I heard The Spirit speak, suddenly I felt a mighty rushing wind in the realm of The Spirit and I heard a sound coming from deep within the winds of The Spirit — the sound of The Roar of The Seven Spirits of God — the sound of Distinction — the sound of Awakening — the sound of the Birthing of Sheep Nations. And I heard these Words,

”I have called you to come out from among them! I call you Mine!

I call you a Marked People and a Marked Place!

Watch — for Goshen nations shall rise in the midst of the darkness — thin places of Divine Encounter and Supernatural Power.

Watch — for The Whirlwind of My Seven Spirits shall move to gather up and scatter abroad.

I say, now comes the Grace for Restoration!

Now comes the Grace for Acceleration!

Behold, a Door stands before The Nations in The Valley of Decision.

A Door of Reformation stands before Prodigal Nations!

I say, come up here! Come up higher! Come to The Altar! Return and Repent — for the fatted calf has been prepared and a Banqueting Table of Reconciliation has been prepared in the presence of your enemies.”

Suddenly The Spirit of Revelation whispered to me, ”A catch-up wind of My Spirit now comes to those who wait and tarry. A mighty Seven Wind of Restoration and Acceleration now comes to those who wait and tarry!”

I heard The Spirit say, ”Watch — for now I AM releasing a ‘catch-up wind’ that will lift and carry the weary.

Yes! A catch-up wind of My Spirit that will bring a great Acceleration and Momentum to those who have been weighed down and heavy burdened.

Ha! Watch! As My Catch-up Winds begin to blows forth in this hour!

A supernatural Wind that will take My People fast forward into the future plans and purposes I have for them — a catch-up Wind that will cause that grip of the spirit of delay to be broken, and the heavy yoke of the oppressor to be lifted from their necks.

I say, it’s time to raise The Sails of Expectation! For the catch-up Winds are now blowing! The hour of Radical Hope is here!”

Blessings to you all.

UK prophet confirms ‘word’ heard on End-times shakings!

Posted on by

When a friend asked my opinion of the transcript below, I was pleasantly surprised  to find that pastor Christopher Wickland confirms two personal prominent prophetic items, as shared in my Footnote below.

First however, let’s recall the importance of precedence of authority in the Holy Spirit gifting of prophecy, as follows:

  1. Bible End-times Prophecies
  2. Modern, contemporary prophecy
  3. Opinion, comment and discussion.

The following auto-generated transcript (hence continuous text) copied into Facebook, is kindly provided by Susie Pope to Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival and I’ve added a few sub-heads for ease-of-reference.

Note that this is a lengthy conversational presentation rather formal discourse.

CHRIS WICKLAND – COLLAPSE OF POLITICS, ECONOMIES AND CHURCH, PLUS WARS

“My name is Pastor Chris Wickland and I want to share with you some visions and dreams the Lord has given me a long time ago that I’ve never shared publicly with anybody but I feel now is the time to do so and it’s pertaining to things regarding the End of the Age which is not quite yet, but we’ll be soon and I’ll I’ll unpack that and explain that. So today’s date is the 15th of February 2023. Continue reading →

How ‘jigsaw piece’ on Romans 1 & 2 plugs into prophecy-related news (GPS 96.3)

Posted on by
Reply

The first part of GPS #96 recounts how I was stunned by the timing of invisible jigsaw-pieces of scripture and events, including a video and timing of a prophetic word therein and its connection into another verse. In closing, I mention already putting more pieces  that had fallen into place.

I apologise if thus far has been rather puzzling, but this part will clarify the picture – much like completing a real jigsaw-puzzle. In GPS #96.1 we looked at 5 pieces but maybe not realised how they fit together, and especially into unspecified others.

The third puzzle-piece was Tim Shey’s comment to A ‘Biblical’ Operation, not just national but a global clear-out! about an Elijah Streams interview, to which he gave a link. The title struck me strongly as we’re at the 7th anniversary of my blogging on exposures of political rot as a result of a prophetical prompting on reading about investigations being started into presidential candidate Donald Trump’s finances!

Moreover, that has now come to the boil in Congress over interference in the 2020  presidential election in last week’s posts eg. Overdue Unravelling of Global Cabal’s Conspiracy, followed by this week’s publication of Special Counsel John Durham’s Report into the FBI’s role in the Russia-collusion hoax.

I’m well aware of the preferred practice of bringing prophecy that is encouraging and uplifting, especially so for the church and believers, and Saturday’s group discussion on Paul’s injunction in Romans 2 to avoid judging others who are heavily into sin described in Romans 1.  (Yet his caveat is to those believers who still practise those deep sins.)

Nevertheless, I was considering whether or not my blogging stance is correct and of the Lord. But as well as the confirmatory title of puzzle-piece 3 (as shown below) bringing an endorsement of exposures, it also gave specific confirmation of my being on the right track:

Click here to play video in a new window. This fascinating interview begins at 6:00 mins  but we’re particularly interested in the ‘God-incidental’ start time at 11:33 (ie. matching Wednesday’s Verse of the Day, Romans 11:33, as in GPS #96.1). Here Andrew refers to having asked the Lord on New Years’ Eve 2020 about the upcoming year.

“That night I did have a dream; it was the morning of January 1st (and in which) I stood before a gathering of Christian believers (and) addressed them saying, “I am so thankful that God has heard my prayer (which was the night before) asking for His word on 2020, for the Lord has given me things that we need to know will BEGIN in 2020.”

So notice it wasn’t “will be fulfilled” but “will begin” in 2020. (In the dream) I looked down in my hands and realised I’d been give a piece of paper…and began to read aloud what was written on the paper. I began by saying, “This list was given me by the Lord in a dream”…. 

A brief discussion ensues between Steve and Andrew and at 35:00 he continues, “Then I began to read what was given me on the paper but first I said,

“God will begin to reveal Himself in a manner that modern Christianity is not too familiar or comfortable with, for He will begin to show Himself as Judge and the God of Wrath!

Judgements against the works of darkness and those unyielding from their evil are coming!”

That’s what I said in the dream. At this point in the dream I understood that much more would be unfolded to the Church about the nature of The Judge. I also knew that this manifestation of God’s nature was key – and this is interesting to me – His nature as Judge and God of Wrath is KEY to seeing the fullness of Revival and Awakening come into the earth.

I was reminded that scripture says ‘For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, to destroy the works of the devil’, but in the dream I knew that revelation of God’s nature would be employed to destroy the works of the devil. [RB: 1 John 3:8]

Next, I continued to read what was written on the piece of paper in my hand:

A new prophetic era is upon us and the balance of prophecy is going to shift. Much of the emphasis in the prophetic has been positive…I said, “God is always good, but not always positive!…In this new era general and vague prophecies will give way to specific words of revelation that will carry authority to release life AND death – in this prophetic era prophets will restore the terror and the Fear of God back into the earth!!”

Steve reacts, “Wow, restore the Terror and fear of God – that’s not something you read every day!”

CONCLUSION

Thus, we have a double confirmation of the importance of Romans 1 reference to God’s Wrath, as given by Andrew’s prophetic dream and its actual timing which got confirmed 5 days later in Verse of the Day being Romans 11:33 – and we had 5 ‘jigsaw-pieces’!

Romans 1 & 2 as essential ‘jigsaw’ pieces (GPS 96.2)

Posted on by
Reply

Further to GPS #96.1 and before considering the ‘God-incidental’ video as the second piece, we must check this first piece of the ‘invisible jigsaw’ – the scripture discussed at last Saturday’s Men’s Breakfast group in Haslemere, Surrey, in the first two chapters of Apostle Paul’s letter to the early church in Rome:

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and  unrighteousness of men, who [d]suppress the truth in unrighteousness,  19 because what may be known of God is [e]manifest [f]in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and [g]Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like [h]corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their [i]women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the [j]men, leaving the natural use of the [k]woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, [l]sexual immorality, wickedness, [m]covetousness, [n]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 [o]undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, [p]unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who,  knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

God’s Righteous Judgement 

[Chapter 2]  Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. 2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. 3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance and long-suffering,  not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But in accordance with your hardness and your [a]impenitent heart you are [b]treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: 7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; 8 but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, 9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the [c]Greek; 10 but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God.

12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law 13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; 14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) 16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel….

Stunned by ‘Invisible Jigsaw’ of Scripture re prophecies and news (GPS 96.1)

Posted on by

WWW > WOWEE! WOTTA WEDNESDAY!!!

Awaking today as dawn was breaking I remain awestruck at having been hit by pieces in The Lord’s Invisible Jigsaw, so I ask Him what’s going on. Inwardly in my mind and spirit I hear and sense,

“EVERYTHING IS FALLING INTO PLACE AS IT SHOULD!” 

So, we can rest assured that events ARE all going to plan, HIS plan!

Kindly bear with me in this personal journal. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been in a shower of His jigsaw pieces falling as though the Lord uses a GPS or Global Prophecy Signalling system!  It’s like being hit by huge invisible mind-blowing hailstones

Yesterday, Wednesday, began with sharing this from BibleGateway on Richard’s Watch Telegram.  Little did I know how the Lord’s plans would unwrap within hours! [NO, timing of this post shown below wasn’t pre-arranged, I assure you!]

In its quoting Romans, I was reminded about a ‘coincidence’ last weekend regarding that letter’s first two chapters being discussed in depth at Saturday Men’s Breakfast.

I’d intended telling my brothers in Christ about it via our Whats App group but, having other priorities, had forgotten. However, yesterday’s Verse for Today reminded me but first I needed to check that God-incidence by re-running the relevant section of video.

BUT I got hit between the eyes! My mind got blown by the sheer synchronicity!

WHY?

The TIME OF DAY on the video MIRRORED THE VERSE OF THE DAY > 11:33!!

The video was streamed last Friday 12th May, whereas the verse was published 5 days later on Wednesday 17th May!

HOW THE PIECES FELL INTO PLACE:

  1. Saturday’s study was to continue from Romans 1:18, but although we read aloud from there into chapter 2, our leader focused on Romans 2. Note: My NKJV Bible sub-heads these respectively ‘God’s Wrath On Unrighteousness’ and ‘God’s Righteous Judgement’.
  2. Sunday, I read and reply to comment from Tim Shey in Idaho posted late Friday with a link to Elijah Streams meeting streamed online that day,
  3. Tim wants me to see a short part and provides a time-mark, but to get a feel for the topic I start watching a few minutes earlier BUT am stunned to hear the guest speaker in USA refer to how the Lord is moving in accordance with His character as described in the scripture studied on Saturday at our group in England – the wrath and justice of God!
  4. I got delayed in sharing this until 3 days later when seeing that day’s verse from Romans and relating to events I’ve been blogging on.
  5. Late yesterday afternoon Chris Moyler urges his Telegram friends to watch that very video: **PLEASE!!!** DON’T MISS THIS! Andrew makes one important point after another, concerning the purpose and direction of modern-day prophecy.”

However, more invisible jigsaw pieces had already fallen and I was putting them into place. As they’re relevant to prophecies that are in process of fulfillment we’ll consider that aspect further in the second part of this GPS signal the Lord has sent…

Reminder to King Charles III of his solemn pledge

Posted on by

Published herein 9 September 2022.

On the King’s Coronation I pray that Almighty Father, Son and Holy Spirit protect the King from the evil one, all its schemes and human slaves and unclean spirits, and come powerfully upon him, his family and Archbishop Welby. May each be Your truly born-again servants who fully adhere to Your Holy Scriptures. Amen.

Now, the original post:

NOTE THIS GOOD NEWS IN THE NEW KING’S OFFICIAL ADDRESS – PRAISE YOU LORD!

King Charles proclaims his Christian faith.

My Solemn Pledge:

“The role and the duties of monarchy also remain, as does the Sovereign’s particular relationship and responsibility towards the Church of England – the Church in which my own faith is so deeply rooted.

“In that faith, and the values it inspires, I have been brought up to cherish a sense of duty to others, and to hold in the greatest respect the precious traditions, freedoms and responsibilities of our unique history and our system of parliamentary government.

“As the Queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation.

“And wherever you may live in the United Kingdom, or in the realms and territories across the world, and whatever may be your background or beliefs, I shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as I have throughout my life…”

Extract taken from transcript provided by Sky News from their video of the Address, as shown at

https://news.sky.com/story/king-charles-iiis-first-address-to-the-nation-the-full-transcript-12693814

We pray that, as for his mother the Queen, King Charles will be anointed with holy oil during his coronation and that Holy Spirit bring him into full true repentance and enable the new king to be a real disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ and leave behind all activities and schemes contrary to the Kingdom of God. That is, a full renunciation of the works of satan.

The Lord’s warning to false prophet ‘Em-Pyre’ builders – Veronika West

Posted on by

Veronika posted on Wednesday on Facebook’s Ignite Ireland Ministries a warning of exposure with churches:

As on His Kingdom Prophecy as:

A WARNING TO THE EM-PYRE BUILDERS

God is dealing swiftly and severely with an em-pyre spirit that seeks to build defiled altars in his name!

The Journey of the Prophets of God into the place of Full Maturity is paved with many pitfalls and temptations.

These potential pitfalls are often times orchestrated by the enemy, but some, in my experience, have been purposefully designed and even allowed by God, not only to reveal a greater depth of the True Character of God, to keep us solely dependent upon Him, to confront our heart motives and fleshly desires, but also to expose the cracks in the foundations on which we building.

If those foundation cracks are not quickly dealt with, the entire structure will become compromised and soon come crashing down round about us.

So yesterday while I was praying concerning the Prophetic Movement at present, suddenly I heard The Spirit speak these Words, ”Daughter! Many are “em-pyre” building!

Yes! I say again, many are “em-pyre” building! For Satan has blinded their eyes to the deception of the devourer that is helping them to build.

Watch, for I tell you the Truth, Satan will help them build, only to watch them fall and never recover.

Listen and pay attention, for in this next season, Strange Fires will burn, and their man-made em-pyres shall go up in smoke!”

As I heard The Spirit speak those Words, I felt The Spirit of The Fear of The LORD come into the room, and again I heard The Spirit say, ”Watch! For I shall deal with the em-pyre spirit that is at work in My Church.

No longer will I tolerate contaminated waters, for I will expose, uncover and strip naked those who seek to build for themselves em-pyres in My Holy Name!”

Note; A pyre (Ancient Greek: πυρά, romanized: purá; from πῦρ (pûr) ‘fire’),…also known as a funeral pyre, is a structure, usually made of wood, for burning bodies as part of a funeral rite or execution. As a form of cremation, a body is placed upon or under the pyre, which is then set on fire….!

Blessings to you all.

A post-Resurrection miracle as a ‘mystery’ now revealed – part 2

Posted on by
3

[First published 2018]

His disciples came to Jesus and said, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” and He replied, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For whoever has, to him (and her) more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. Therefore, I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand…” (Matthew 13:10-13 NKJV)

Definition: ‘Mystery’, Greek musterion (moos-tay-ree-on; Strongs #3466). From mueo, “to initiate into the mysteries”, hence a secret known only to the initiated, something hidden requiring special revelation. In the NT the word denotes something that people could never know by their own understanding and that demands a revelation from God. The secret thoughts, plans and dispensations of God remain hidden from unregenerate mankind, but are revealed to all believers. In non-biblical Greek musterion is knowledge withheld, concealed or silenced. In biblical Greek it is truth revealed (Col 1:26). NT musterion focuses upon Christ’s sinless life, atoning death, powerful resurrection and dynamic ascension.’ [New Spirit-Filled Study Bible]
Prophecy: “2018: I will impart to My Prophets the ability to see clearly My Numbers…” (delivered by Leisa Ebere).

The above, ancient meaning of ‘mystery’ is rarely understood and appreciated, even by those solidly grounded in scripture. As told in my testimony, my pre-Christian life got immersed in that esoteric knowledge, and so I’m experienced in this matter and can attest that the difference between that discipline and holy revelations from the Almighty is like the contrast between His Light and the devil’s darkness.

MATHEMATICIANS’ MYSTERIES

Roger Penrose, “The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe”, Knopf (2005)

Therefore, the modern definition of ‘mystery’ as an unsolved puzzle, or something difficult or impossible to explain is comparatively trite!

Even the eminent mathematician-physicist Sir Roger Penrose tends toward a circumscribed perception of reality when using this term, as quoted and discussed in RTU’s Three Worlds, Three Mysteries.

According to its author Joseph, Penrose posits the existence of three “realms” existing around us and “which brings three mysteries” that raise interesting questions on how the world should be viewed. These realms are the physical, mental and Platonic mathematical worlds.

Of course, such hypothetical mysteries cannot equal the much deeper ‘mystery’ of revelatory scripture! Yet in positing that mathematical entities don’t belong in space or time and are eternal and unchanging, Penrose is approaching our understanding of the mathematical aspects of the Bible. His recent thoughts upon consciousness originating at a quantum level may approach ideas I’ve broached in the convergence of science and scripture.

JESUS POINTS TO MATHS

Continuing from Part 1 on Apostle John’s account of the miraculous provision of 153 large fish and the re-blog of New Zealander Joanne Rolston’s posts on it, we learn that she asked Jesus direct on why such specific details are noted. Let me quote some pertinent parts of her highly personal account:

“I asked the Lord about the meaning of the 153 fish in John 21:10, and I was given a maths answer. Amazingly I grasped the explanation. Having to learn statistics in order to get my Diploma of Business helped. I had to overcome a lot to learn the math behind statistics…(including) my loathing for maths. Fortunately, I have a very patient husband who helped me with the mechanics of maths in statistics.

“But I kept complaining to God. “Why do I have to learn this?” I protested, “We’re never going to use it in our business!”

“Make friends with maths” the Lord told me. Not reconcile myself to maths, not become acquainted with maths; He wanted me to believe I could learn maths and take an interest in it! It was a big ask. In a Father’s instruction, He says;

“Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” (Proverbs 4:7)

So we read that Joanne progressed and mentions Factorial numbers and Venn diagrams as being the first things she learned in statistics. These were the basis of all the wonderful things she was later shown about that ‘action replay’ fishing trip by seven of Jesus’ disciples.

She succinctly explains the unusual significance of the 153 fish by maths of factorials and square root of the third prime number (3), as well as geometrical constructions and proofs in diagrammatic forms, PLUS their relevance to the triune relationship of God, Christ and mankind.

Now examine these facts more closely and delve deeper into the ‘mysteries of the kingdom’:

That historic catch’s mathematical meaning is a surprising shock to we moderns but, in the immense sweep of history, such intellectual knowledge was a relatively ‘recent’ development to those living in the inter-Testamental times of the Graeco-Roman world. The principal propositions, or theories and proofs, of geometry had been compiled by Euclid of Alexandria about 300 years before Jesus’ life. To give us some perspective, this is the same period since the accession of George I (1714) and the appearance of John and Charles Wesley to lead a major evangelical revival, from which was born the fourth largest church denomination in England, Methodism (in Oxford, 1729).

Fascinating Fact: the first proposition of Euclid’s Elements of Geometry is to construct an equilateral (three sides of equal length) triangle by describing a Vesica Piscis (known as ‘Vessel of Fish’!) with a pair of compasses. It’s done by drawing one circle and then a second one exactly the same size, but with its centre on the circumference of the first.

The common, overlapping area looks like a canoe and the ratio of its length to width is 265:153, which closely approximates the square root of 3 as calculated by Archimedes of Syracuse.

All three symbols, triangle and circles with intersecting segment, feature in the ‘mystery’ of the 153 fish – note the use of equilateral triangle as this will be considered another time:

It’s noteworthy that John closes his Gospel account of Jesus’ main post-Resurrection appearances with this most tantalising morsel:

‘And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.’ (John 20:30)

That statement lodged indelibly within my soul when a teenager and I determined to set on a quest to discover the fullness of Jesus’ work. A lifetime later, I learn that ‘seal’ sets the scene for the last chapter’s account of the amazing fishing expedition. That is, it is a clear signpost of the next and final miracle’s deep significance to the early Church.

UNLOCKING THE SIGN MIRACLES OF JOHN – SIGN 8: 153 FISH

Jonathan R Hill, whose above-titled book explains how ‘pi’, the mathematical ratio of circumference and diameter of every circle is found in Genesis 1:1, and that of ‘e‘ (base of natural logarithmic and base rate of growth in all growing processes), are found in John 1:1, devotes a full chapter to ‘Sign 8’, the miraculous catch of 153 fish.

Consider this summary of his main points on Sign 8:

  • It is the 8th ‘sign’ miracle recorded by John and found in his book only. First and only post-Resurrection sign-miracle and last of the eight, thus reflecting the divinity of Jesus as ‘first and last’ and the ‘alpha and omega’! (I now recall hearing Him tell me during a ministry-team prayer, “I Am Alpha and Omega” – watch for more on this later.)
  • Time and death represented in this succession by number 7 is followed by 8, the number of resurrection (a new beginning, as blogged in January), underscored by 8 resurrections in scripture other than that of Jesus.
  • Jesus’ command to cast nets from the other side of the boat, the right, symbolises and prefigures God visiting the Gentiles and taking a people for His name.
  • The Greek word ‘ekklesia’ translated as ‘church’ means nothing more than ‘called out of’. Thus, the fish being caught out of the sea reflect the characteristic of the Gentile church as those who are ‘called out of’ the world.
  • 153 is of considerable mathematical and typological significance and represents the fullness of the Gentiles.
  • Key composites of 153 are 7 (spiritual perfection), 10 (numerical completeness) and 9 (finality) because (7+10) x 9 = 153 (= 9 x 17).

Jonathan makes many more deep connections between scriptures and Sign 8 and their importance to the Church and the Consummation of the Age. Building upon the 17-rowed triangle of the number 153 displayed in Jo-Blog’s Go Fish, this is how Jonathan describes this mathematical principle (drag to enlarge, noting number 153 forms an equilateral triangle of sides 17 x 17 x 17):

CONCLUSION

From this brief overview of well-researched data we can confidently conclude that the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven include mathematical principles as an important part of its transcendental wisdom. Selah!

Not long after Father God brought Jesus the Messiah back from the dead by His Spirit, the One who’s the radiance of His glory went once again in search of His ex-fisherman friends. Of the two sets of brothers who’d been partners in the fishing trade on the Sea of Galilee before deserting their nets to follow a peripatetic teacher, their boss had an exceptionally severe crisis of self-confidence.

GONE FISHING!

So this ‘son of Jonah’, named Simon, decided to return to the simple life of sitting in a boat with buddies and dragging a net in the hope of getting a catch – but it proved to be an exercise in futility!

A few years earlier on that inland sea, the four fishing partners encountered and had been ‘called’ by The One to follow Him. Jesus amazed the crowds there with His teaching and had asked Simon if He could address them from his moored boat. Jesus knew the men had worked hard all night without having caught anything because, when He’d finished speaking, He told Simon to sail into deep water and lower his nets despite the fruitless night – Simon was overwhelmed by the result!  They’d got such a large number of fish that another boat was called for – then both began to sink with their massive weight!!

So Simon changed his tune. Upon hearing Jesus’ instruction he’d objected because of the poor night, yet respectfully referred to Him as “Master” – but in amazement at the fresh catch breaking nets and sinking boats, Simon addressed Him with the superior term of “Lord”; thus suggesting he was beginning to understand the status of this astonishing teacher. In the account by one of those partners, John, they’d previously met Jesus immediately after His baptism in the river Jordan and Andrew had brought his brother Simon to see Jesus, who then spoke of his identity and implicit destiny, “You are Simon son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas,” (which is translated ‘A Stone’, Petros/Peter: John 1:42).

After that huge catch of unspecified quantity, Jesus called Simon into his destiny: “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men!”  That is, a fisher of men. When they’d landed their boats the four forsook all and followed Him (Luke 5:10-11).

This event would be replayed later but at a higher level when, once again, Simon will be caught by surprise! But before that, the four fishermen disciples were to become part of the twelve chosen as ‘Apostles’, who were given power and authority (Matt 10:2). And Simon was to have a personal revelation of Jesus’ real identity. He blurted out “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God,” to which Jesus responded, “Blessed are you Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but My Father who is in heaven. I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Also, he was further blessed to see Jesus’ transfiguration and hear Father speak about His beloved Son and instruct Peter, James and John to heed Him (Matt 16 and Matt 17).

Yet this same Peter later earned a severe rebuke from Jesus because, in his devotion, he was shocked upon hearing Jesus speak of His destined execution and in dismay he spoke against God’s plans!  AND then, when that dreadful event transpired, poor Peter was distraught during Jesus’ trial to hear himself thrice deny his association with Him! Even so, he was again blessed when Jesus visited, instructed and commissioned the Twelve (minus Judas the betrayer) after His miraculous resurrection from the dead.

However, Peter must have considered his thrice-denial would cost him dearly in losing his standing with his Lord. Hence, a critical crisis of self-confidence for Peter.

So, why not go back to fishing – and far away from Jerusalem?  His ex-fisherman friend John records Simon Peter as having told him and five others – seven in total – he was going fishing – and they replied, “We’re going with you!” (John 21:2-3).  In fact, Peter was heading into his own resurrection: that of his own self-worth, identity and calling!

ACTION REPLAY

John continues: ‘They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to them, “Children have you any food?” They answer Him, “No” and He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” So they cast, and were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish…

‘Then as soon as they came to land they saw a fire of coals there and fish laid on it, and bread (Note:) Jesus said to them “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three, and although there were so many, the net was not broken.’

Believing readers will be very familiar with the wonderful reinstatement of Peter.  When John recognised who the man on the beach was he told Peter and, being determined to be back with Him, Peter donned his outer garment and dived fully clothed into the water and swam about 100 meters to shore.

This dear man, so like all of us as imperfect disciples, is asked thrice if he loves the Lord much more than his fellow disciples – that is, with ‘agape’ love: the unconditional, unconquerable, benevolent goodwill, as given by the Father and Jesus. Peter, rescinds and over-rights his previous thrice-denial to profess a less emphatic love (‘phileo’) that he knows he can give. In repeating His question at that lower level Jesus accepts but tests his profession further, thus giving him a threefold commission to be His under-shepherd.

[Note: ‘agape’, a word to which Christianity gave a new meaning, for outside the NT it rarely occurs in existing Greek manuscripts of the period. It means a love by choice and refers to will, rather than ‘phileo’, a brotherly love by chance and emotion – New Spirit-Filled Study Bible.]
