Jesus’ Crucifixion described within the Holy Name of God
First published on this blog in April 2017:
According to Steve Maltz, author of God’s Signature, the only time the sacred, personal Name of God was spoken by the ancient Israelites was during worship in the Temple in Jerusalem, and especially on the Day of Atonement when the High Priest pronounced it ten times.
The Talmud has many warnings about using the most holy Name – it is also regarded as having special powers of healing. Apparently knowledge of its pronunciation was lost after the fall of the Temple in AD70 prophesied by Jesus Christ.
The knock-on effect of that event, together with the Roman Church’s withdrawal in the third Century of financial support for churches in the Holy Land founded by Jesus’ own ‘kith and kin’ (‘desponyni’), was the great loss of a full understanding of the Church’s Hebraic roots. Hence the confusion and doctrinal disagreements over Jesus’ claim, “I am in the Father and the Father is in me” (John 14:10).
Digging deeper we encounter an astonishing revelation of that double-identity!
From translations of Hebrew, the post-Shakespeare English-speaking world referred to God’s Name as ‘Jehovah’ or ‘LORD’ (letter ‘J’ was then starting to replace ‘i’). However, Jews preferred well-known descriptive titles such as ‘Elohim’ – God, in all the fullness of His attributes; ‘El Shaddai’ – Almighty; ‘El Sabaoth’ – Lord of heavenly hosts; or Adonai’ – Lord, and more often than not the reverent term ‘Ha Shem’ (The Name) sufficed.
Scribes, or sopher, needed to take special care in praying before writing the holy name, which must be done without interruption. Were a mistake made, it must not be corrected but the whole page discarded and the page restarted. Numbering had to be carefully handled too because Hebrew characters represented both letters and numbers. So the logical way of writing 15 is to add a yod (ie 10) to a hey (ie 5) and likewise for 16 (a yod to a vav). But this never happened because, as part of the sacred name, they could accidentally be read as this name. The Holy Name is shown below, but read from right to left:
“Yod-Hey-Vav-Hay” first appears in Genesis 2:4 statement ‘The Book of Beginnings’ is the account of, “When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens”.This Name was first revealed when Moses encountered God in the burning bush after he’d asked Him whom should he tell the Israelites had sent him to get them out of their slavery in Egypt.
God replied, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you’. ” (Exodus 3:14 NKJV)
Steve writes, “Interestingly and contrary to popular belief, the Hebrew word used in this passage…is not YHVY (he shows Hebrew characters). So, what’s going on here? Is it His name or isn’t it? In this Exodus passage, the word used for His name is “Aleph-Hey-Yod-Hey”.
“This takes the meaning of “I will be”…(which) shares a similar three-consonant root with YHVY in Hey-Vav-Hey and Hey-Yod-Hey…and as they’re related are both ways of describing God”. Hence my liking of describing God as “Always” and “Now”, the latter being used by Charlie Shamp too.
HOLY FATHER-SON UNION REVEALED & THE CRUCIFIXION FORETOLD
As in those preceding links, literary Hebrew developed out of pictographic forms that represent gestures and their meanings. We logically surmise both original visual and later written forms were known to and, therefore, used by the Lord in communicating with Abraham and his descendants through Issac and Jacob, and used by Moses and his scribes in compiling the first five books of the Bible.
Comparing the literary and pictorial forms of the name Moses heard and recorded as being from the Lord, we have this graphic (credit Heart To Heart):
Hebrew is read right to left, ie ‘hand-look-nail-look’, but if we read as normal left to right we find not only the Name of God describing who He is, the fullness of His character and abilities, but also its exceptional prophetic nature in it foretelling the pivotal point of His action plan for humanity: the crucifixion of His Son Jesus Christ!
BEHOLD – A NAIL – BEHOLD – A HAND
AND THIS ‘WORD’ SHOWS TWO PERSONS!
Could this indicate that Christ was hidden in the Father when Moses encountered them at the burning bush but manifested as ‘The Angel of the Lord’ or pre-incarnate Christ ? It’s worth reading Exodus 3 carefully again and note Who is speaking to Moses…
Moreover, the pictographs graphically portray God as ‘hands up’ in connection with a nail. Putting all this together into one picture we get a typical image of Jesus on the Cross at Calvary, where long nails or spikes driven through Jesus’ wrists damage the median nerves thus making His hands bend into the ‘claw position’ – just like letter Yod!!

This is Holy Week, 2023 — JRB Publications
What is perhaps significant regarding Holy Week 2023 compared with recent years is firstly this year it overlaps with the Jewish Passover that in essence was to do with freedom from slavery. Secondly, there is so much going on in the world right now that I have identified as being in the momentous category and depending how you look at it could be seen as damaging and disturbing or, if God is indeed in control, liberating because however dire things appear God is on the Throne. His plans are good; we need to seek His face. As one who blogs concerning such matters, I find it refreshing to contemplate what it is that Holy Week represents.[Continue at..] This is Holy Week – 2023 — JRB Publications
OCCUPY NOW! DOUBLY RE-ITERATED BY THE LORD!!
I continue being humbled by the long-running theme of how Deut 19:15 (a matter is established by the mouth of two or three witnesses) applies to what arises for this blog! Now, the Lord speaks to two modern-day servants about the parable of the ten minas in Luke 19.
Thursday tasks, correspondence and blogging action list for four weeks ago today (4×7 days) 23rd February is shown below because it applies to what I heard from the Lord first thing the following Tuesday (28th):
The ‘Occupy’ item resulted in this post quoting Chris G Bennett and Bishop J.C .Ryle’s classic Are You Ready For The End Of Time? (Read all blog’s ‘Occupy’ posts here)
Now four weeks later our dear sister posts this, which I share and refer to an online chat on 27th February in a bible group about the Asbury outpouring:
Here’s what Veronika published on 21st March at His Kingdom Prophecy based upon Luke 19.13 (KJV):
TAKE IT! TAKE IT NOW!! OCCUPY ‘TIL HE COMES!!!
“I Say Take It! Take It Now! And Occupy Till I Come!”
I hear The Spirit say, ”As you decrease, so I will Increase! As you go lower, so I will take you higher!
For I will resist the proud and the arrogant, and those who are puffed up in their own achievements and amazing accomplishments — have no part in Me.
Beloved, you have a high calling! You are My Ambassadors, My Representatives on the earth.
There is no need to hold on to the honour and recognition that the world bestows, but rather, embrace the Grace that I give to the Humble, for a broken and contrite heart mark those who have been chosen for true Greatness.
So, lay aside your own abilities, your plentiful resources, and your fierce determination to do things in your might and human power, and let My Spirit bring you Guidance.
Let My Holy Spirit pour into your life, like the oil that fueled Zechariah’s lamp-stand.
I tell you, human weakness is no obstacle, for My Power is perfected in the face of hardships, times of difficulty and persecution. When you are weak, I AM Strong!
Let Me free you from your enemies, and not with weapons, armies, or horses and charioteers, but by My Power, as The LORD your God.
Let My Spirit guarantee you Success and Victory, in the midst of conflict and chaos.
I say to you, do not be anxious about the future; wars and rumours of wars; the rising fuel prices and the cost of living; what you will eat and what you will wear!
Has not My Mercy always made a way where there seemed no way?
Has not My Grace always been sufficient for you?
And has not My Wisdom brought unexpected answers and timely solutions?
My Child, can you think of one time in your life when My Love ran out on you?
NO! For did I not promise, to never — no never! — no never, to leave you, nor abandon you?
But Look! Though the Storm Clouds are gathering — fear not! — for The Light of My Glory lines every dark cloud on the horizon, and My Grace flows beneath every cross-current, for surely I tell you, even the contrary Winds will only accelerate you closer to the Divine Destiny I have for you!
Stop leaning on your own understanding and thinking you know what is best! Every obstacle on your path, and every valley on your journey, only propels you higher and takes you deeper into the place of Promise and greater Prosperity, that has been prepared for you.
I only give the greatest battles to My Strongest Warriors. I AM purposeful and deliberate in all that I do in your life. [RB: note well underscoring re next post]
Seasons of testing and trials are inevitable, though I understand you may seek at times after a life of ease and comfort.
I know, that this would be counter-productive, even destructive, to the Destiny I have for you. My Ways may seem harsh, and My methods controversial — and even contradictory to the ways of the World — But I AM more concerned about your Character, Beloved, than I AM about your comfort and ease.
A True Disciple is what I AM fashioning and forming within you.
One who will see the violent Winds and the raging Waves, and will fearlessly and courageously step out of the boat — to walk on the waters with Me.
One who has no fear of man, and will walk into the fiery furnace with Me.
One whom I can trust, in whom to manifest My Glory on the Earth, Beloved.
So be patient! Hold fast! Though the days are getting darker, the Light of My Glory is getting brighter.
Know that sufferings and afflictions are all working towards a consuming Glory, a Glory that shall diminish the darkness!
Therefore, lift up your voices — not in complaining or in unbelief — but in high Praises coming from a heart full of Hope, Expectation and Faith.
Rejoice in the Victory promised but not yet seen! Celebrate in advance for the Triumph that is already yours.
Let the sound of a New Song fill and shift the atmosphere of doubt and fear. Satan cannot stand in the presence of Praise, his demonic assignments are cut down, and his evil deeds are dismantled and demolished.
Finally Beloved, Mighty Overcoming Ones, let this day not be a day of lethargy and passivity, regrets and complacency, but let this be the hour that you Arise as My Spiritual Storm-Riders!
As you place your life under My Loving Hand, I will lift you up, and strengthen your bones!
Only believe that I have formed and fashioned you for higher things, to Rule and Reign from heavenly places, that you may take the land I have allotted to you, as your Kingdom Inheritance.
I say, Take It! Take It Now! And occupy till I come!”
Blessings to you all.

Jesus Christ reminds us of His Return – Chris G Bennett
Christ posted late last night and this morning:
God-struck by the double-immediacy of Verse of Day and Tim Sheets video on new Pentecost
“WOWEE – Just listened to first 5 mins and Tim confirms TWO things on my mind before he even begins on angels!! And it includes Verse for Today and what I’d been recalling on healing!”
Thus I remarked Wednesday morning on Chris Moyler’s Telegram as a quick reply to his encouraging introduction 24 hours earlier to the video shown below. Very rarely do I watch any, especially l-o-n-g videos but hoped to be able somehow to carve out an hour eventually on this occasion….
That was before we went out for Tuesday and it went out of the window until much later – but still not possible…. I recalled a Whats App chat a fortnight ago on the Outpouring in Kentucky and my link to Dutch Sheet’s prophecy encountering an objection about him and the Toronto Blessing. So, I recounted Nina’s wonderful healing 18 years ago and posed this teaser: “So it begs a couple of questions: Do you think I’m mistaken..doesn’t God heal?”
Upon awaking Wednesday I momentarily wondered, in all honesty could the other chap be right and we be wrong?
NEXT, I checked Bible Gateway on my phone and up springs this immediate definitely direct answer in its closing line:
Being up earlier than anticipated before our scheduled visits I then recalled Chris’ video and had 10 minutes to dip in and play at very fast speed only to be astonished by Tim’s opening remarks in the first minutes (auto-transcript with tight formatting)::
“I had a dream of while we were in service just worshiping, or while preaching, no-one laying hands on people – they just started getting healed, and even in the archived sermons, as people were listening they were getting healed. I had this dream three times and I wanted to again say this week: even though no-one may be specifically
praying for healing, we’re just worshiping and ministering to the Lord or preaching, you can still be healed – because one of the..it’s like a headline in these three dreams – these people are healed in the glory, they are healed in the presence of the Lord and this is going to increase services, not just here but in other places there’s going to just be healing spontaneously manifest….”
Next, Tim proceeds to mention Pentecost, which I’d been stressing during our recent breakfast meetings in studying Dr Luke’s Gospel account and the beginning of Acts and knowing in my ‘knower’ there’s a strong revival of a new Pentecost ahead of us…
“…I’m contending for that now today. I want to read the parable of the Prodigal Son again but from a different translation and I’ll do that in just a moment. There’s something in the words Jesus used when he was telling that story that you find in the original language, the original Greek text, and I feel very prompted to talk about that today. It was something that would affect his disciples from Pentecost through the rest of their entire Ministry lives. My heart just leaped inside of me when I saw this. God’s word so alive, just one word can just quicken things. There’s a wind of Holy Spirit on that amazing parable of the prodigal son it’s like it’s being freshly told to us – it’s prophesying I believe into our moment right NOW – it’s prophesying a phase of our Kingdom’s movement right now in THIS era…”
On introducing this recording Chris Moyler writes (14 March):
Beloved Friends,
As the storm clouds of these difficult days continue to swirl around us, and our political leaders disappoint us greatly by their stubborn resistance against truthful dialogue, the LORD is Revealing his carefully laid plans to bring his GLORY to the earth.
Of special note is the revelation concerning the role that the heavenly host, the angel armies of Heaven, are playing, and will increasingly play, in bringing God’s glory and God’s Reign.
Currently we are surrounded by a multitude of voices, that are bringing all kinds of messages. Some are v good, but some are v bad.
Therefore, it is more important than ever that we critically discern who, and who is not, speaking the truth.
Tim Sheets, the brother of Dutch Sheets, is increasingly attracting my attention. He carries a very special revelation about the angels, and about the way in which they are now breaking through the demonic Second Heaven that surrounds the earth, enabling God’s righteous rule to be established.
This recent video is an hour long, but does not disappoint.
16:00. Tim has been carrying this revelation for 20 years now. It came to him during a time of waiting on God, as the congregation that he was leading fell apart!
16:00. But THIS YEAR something is shifting!
What I heard decades ago is NOW LAUNCHING!!!
God bless you all richly!
We are living in amazing and glorious days, as the Kingdom of God unfolds as never before in history- including Acts 2.
That time of the birthing of the church was glorious and vitally important. But what is now coming will FAR outshine those wonderful days!!
Chris
Jesus asks, “Will you recognise Me when I come?” – Wanda Alger
ABSOLUTELY ACE. Thank you Lord and Wanda for this develops upon the recent visions of ‘two suns,’ one of which being Jesus’ glory above the earth.:
And to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things. (Ephesians 3:9 ESV)
As we look for the Spirit’s activity on the earth and try to understand heaven’s moves, I hear the Spirit say:
“I love your heart, your passion, and your zeal for My presence. I love your worship and heartfelt intercession. I long to answer your prayers for My Spirit to come in fullness and power. And yet, are you ready for what that looks like? Will you even recognize Me when I come? Continue reading
Dutch Sheets’ Flashpoint interview transcribed — Esther’s Petition
Bette Cox, who writes at Esther’s Petition, comments as follows on my previous post:
“Richard, thanks so much for posting this. I am a professional transcriptionist (now retired), and I transcribed this interview straight from the video. I thought you might like to have a clean, accurate transcription of it, instead of the auto-transcribed one (which contained a few errors along the way) so I’m attaching it as a text file. Share with others if you like.
I had watched the Flashpoint interview with Dutch myself when it was first broadcast. It was indeed powerful.”

BANG ON TARGET!
A very good test for whether something really is of the Lord is when it attracts a ‘flak attack’. In keeping a men’s Bible study group informed of events at Asbury I posted this video with a note of its preceding the outpouring by a fortnight and referred to its receipt 22 years ago, thereby being a true prophecy.
However, someone of Cessationist stance took exception by accusing Dutch of being connected with Peter Wagner’s new apostolic reformation and connected with Toronto.
SO I simply referred to my no longer being a 24/7 carer of my dear wife Nina when she was permanently wheelchair-bound because John Arnott listened to the Lord, as told below:
From ‘Disabled’ to Enabled – Jesus heals Nina’s spine
‘End-game’ confirmed: 2 – Prophecy of Revival in the UK, Christopher Wickland
After carving out some time to listen fully, not fast-play, to this prophecy I was most excited on how its manifestation will answer my abiding dislike over 65 years, since a child, of divisions between believers in Jesus Christ, on grounds given in “You shouldn’t be at our school”, the first part of my personal testimony
Moreover, in listening to scripture read by the priest in my parents’ Catholic church it dawned on me that clergy were not doing the greater miracles Jesus promised in John 14:12 – “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father”.
WOWEEEE – pastor Wickland accurately foretold our economic woes, so I can’t wait to see this mighty prophetic word come to pass. Just click on image to play…
AUTO-GENERATED TRANSCRIPT FOLLOWS (formatting too extensive to edit well)
“Occupy (ie. do My business) until I come” – Luke 19
Luke 19 Authorised King James Version (Bible Gateway):
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore,
“A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, ‘Occupy till I come’.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
I submit that this apparently pecuniary parable refers to the Holy Spirit giftings Jesus bestows upon his followers to become apostles and disciples and upon His return an examination of their diligent application, thereby receiving further empowerment.

Two visionary signs of the sun. (A reminder)
[Posted 16 June 2021]
Returning to my focus upon Jesus’ Return you may recall these two confirmations of my ‘nudges’:
As told in Lillian Brown’s message from the Holy Spirit to “Brace yourself. Get ready for Jesus’ soon return!”, pastor Rachel Bird mentioned having that impression some time ago and referred to visions of a supra-natural atomic bomb that her husband and I had. On the following Saturday morning Nina had an open vision that related not only to that but also to Lillian’s asking about the glory, “What will it look like?” (From 17:45 mark of her video she urges us to await God’s glory as Jesus comes closer.)
Here’s my dear wife’s example of what it may look like: Continue reading
Behold It’s A New Thing! Do You See it? – Veronika West
Published this morning by Veronika on Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook. This version’s text alone comes courtesy of His Kingdom Prophecy: and I’m so pleased to learn of the Lord’s response to my frequent asking about when He’s going to take action against all persistent evil…
“DO YOU SEE IT? NOW IT SPRINGS FORTH! BEHOLD, IT’S A NEW THING!”
“Beloved, surely I have purposed — but man has despised!
I have set out My Plans — but many have resisted and rejected them!
Have I not said that My Ways are not your ways and My thoughts are not your thoughts?
For My Ways and thoughts are higher than yours.
Listen! Take heed to My Words! I AM not a God Who changes His Mind or evolves with the times. I AM unchanging! I AM the same yesterday, today and forever!
Soon My Patience and My Understanding will run out, and those who have stood against Me will be swiftly and severely dealt with!
My Mercy proceeds Justice, but when the bowls of iniquity are full, suddenly and without warning — The Scales will tip and The Gavel of My Justice will fall, and the rebellious and stiff necked will be broken — and will never recover.
So, guard your heart! Do not lean on your own understanding. Do not jeer and mock at My Timing, or question My Ways, for You do not see the beginning from the end, and the end from the beginning, as I do.
You only see what is right in front of you, and so your knowledge is limited — and your understanding is lacking.
Watch! For My Governing Hand is always moving, shifting and rearranging, and resetting things in perfect order to ensure and guarantee that all things — all things — work together for the good of those who Love Me.
So, do not think or accuse Me of being deaf to your Call, or distant when you draw close.
I tell you now, live by Faith and not by your feelings that are ever fleeting, fickle and constantly unpredictable!
But cast down vain imaginations, and cast off questionings that bring doubt, unbelief and double mindedness, for I AM an ever present Help in times of trouble.
My Strong right hand is always outstretched towards you to Rescue and Redeem, Revive and Restore your life.
Beloved, be quick to Repent of your Pride and relinquish the need to be in control!
Why make Me wait and delay My Divine Deliverance and Wonder Working power to perform miracles in the midst of you, because you have chosen to rather explore and exhaust all other man made ideas and quick fix solutions?
When will you let go of human intellect and understanding, and Look to Me alone?
When will you abandon your will, in exchange for My Will and My Way?
For surely I tell you, as soon as you let go and Trust Me, you will see that I have already made provision, like the ram that was caught in the thicket. (Genesis 22:13)
There is Great Reward in store for those who will walk by Faith and in radical obedience to My Word!
My Redeemed Ones, be of good Courage and Pay attention to My Word. Do not think I AM unmindful of the fears, the frailties, and the weaknesses of the human heart, but know that I AM a God of Love and Discipline, Righteousness and Holiness.
Fools ignore instruction and are therefore Ignorant and blind and soon fall into a pit, but the wise listen and obey, and soon prosper and live in peace.
So, come close — for I AM a Consuming Fire!
Draw near to Me, and let the Burning Fires of My Glory ignite and divinely energise you, for My Fire will empower you to lay claim to all My Promises that are yours through Inheritance.
Let us Reign together in My Kingdom — for these are indeed Glory-filled days!
So, choose Me this day, and the Oil will never run dry, but you will be filled, fueled and burning brightly, and I shall make you a Sign and a Living Witness on the earth, of My Goodness and extraordinary Grace and Love to all who see you!
Look! For the Season has changed! Do you see it? Now it springs forth! Behold — it’s a new thing!”
Blessings to you all.

Is Smith-Wigglesworth’s vision of UK in revival about to be fulfilled?
IS SMITH WIGGLESWORTH’s VISION, AND 50 YEARS LATER TO HIS PRAYER PARTNER, OF BRITAIN IN FULL REVIVAL FIRE ABOUT TO BE FULFILLED?
After awaking on Sunday I was reminded of the undermentioned personal event in 1997 and recalled the format of morning’s 3Counties Vineyard service is an ‘Open Morning’.
So I asked the Lord if I’m to mention this, and if so then I need clear indicators to do so. First, know that the service’s focus was upon ‘feasting and joy’, and that two ‘signs’ did come through what others brought to share:
- One in some detail about revival from Andrew (beginning at 28 min of video) and referring to John Wimber as founder of the Vineyard movement (more later).
- Another was brought during the unrecorded, offline period with reference to a way of reading scripture and hearing Holy Spirit speak upon 4 personally applicable points.
- Note, that one of the moves prophesied by Smith-Wigglesworth refers to the Word and Spirit coming together and a few years ago when visiting a baptist church we were told by its powerfully prophetical pastor that the Baptist Union has come to recognise that duality as an important principle.
Therefore, it was clear I was to speak and my very condensed version of the following taken from an old email, as linked below, was received with delight:
‘At a prayer for revival meeting in 1997 on the anniversary of the Welsh revival, I had the privilege of meeting 80 years old Rev Norman James, who’d been prayer partner of the renowned ‘apostle of faith’, Smith Wigglesworth.
When this small group stood in a close circle to pray, Norman was less than a yard right in front of me. As he was quite short my eyes opened to gaze fully into his face and I couldn’t help but notice his eyes alight with excitement. A HUGE, beaming smile – he was radiant!
Norman could hardly speak, save to whisper, “I’ve just seen what Wigglesworth saw – Britain in revival, on fire for the Lord!”
Ever so briefly he explained that in Wigglesworth’s 88th year the Lord had given him a vision of a future revival in Britain. He knew it would happen decades ahead but he so desperately desired to see such days. Thus Norman confided, “No wonder he wanted the Lord to keep him alive!“. But he couldn’t find the words to describe its wonder!’

End-Times Briefing 6: New Ager sees first pieces of God’s ‘jigsaw’
How a New Age follower got hooked into the Bible’s prophecies.
A unique take from die-hard anti-Christian confronted by facts in non-Christian book!
As an ex-unbeliever rescued by Jesus Christ in person and ‘born-again’ by Holy Spirit into life everlasting through His sinless blood, I reiterate Chuck Missler’s concern:
“You may not believe what the Bible says, but what’s utterly astonishing is that so very many claim to believe in Jesus yet have no grasp of the idea Christ is to literally return and rule!”
The aim of these Briefings is to help my readers be better informed and thus grasp that truth. If an ardently anti-church guy deeply involved in New Age teachings, who viewed ‘Bible-bashers’ as bigots, could grasp and keep hold of this mind-blowing stuff, then how much easier is it for believers in Jesus to fully appreciate these things?
So, come on a revelatory journey with me that hints at the relevance of Bible ‘coding’: Continue reading
End-Times Briefing 5: pastor’s ‘Sign in the Sun’ vision warns of coming global cataclysm! [Prophecy coming to pass!]

Those following these Briefings will appreciate the direct relevance of Sign #27 to this video and transcript, for which I’m grateful for Carolyn Stewart’s very helpful expertise.
On 27th May 2020 Revd Christopher Wickland posted this alarm or warning on what’s soon to hit the world. (To date, his November 2019 prophecy of a great humbling then spiritual revival of Britain is accurate.) As with all prophecies, please seek the Lord in weighing this vision. Continue reading
End-Times Briefing 4: expert’s excitement – More are coming to know this…
This post, one of my first blogs in November 2011, later featured on the Home page to inform visitors of the acceleration of prophetic fulfillment, as may be inferred from the links to confirmatory events two years later:
As you may have gathered from my Welcome, I’m into eschatology – the theological study of the destiny and judgement of nations and all people, even angels! It’s about ‘The Last Days’, as in the ancient Torah’s description: Acharit Hayamin, ie. ‘Last of the Years’, and were regarded as the years immediately following Jesus’ ministry. They’re more popularly known in Christian circles as the ‘End-times’.
Come with me to one of my favourite video classes where (the late) Dr Chuck Missler is asking his students, “Why Eschatology?” Continue reading
End-Times Briefing 3: the ‘What?’ of Watching > Signs!
So far we’ve considered the Who, Why and When we’re to watch. Now to the rationale of this blog, as stated in its title’s strap-line, ‘Looking for the signs of Jesus’ return’ and we examine what Jesus told us to look out for:
WHAT?
Omitting those which apply to the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70, here’s a selection of signs stated in the first Gospel (Mark 13), augmented by Matthew (chapter 24) and Luke (chapters 17 & 21) plus insertion of Paul’s first and follow-up letters to believers in Salonika, to whom he stressed the origin of his teaching; ‘For this we say to you by the word of the Lord…’ Continue reading
End-Times Briefing 2: the ‘When?’ of Watching > NOW!
Continuing the reasons for watching for the End-times, we consider when that might happen:
WHEN?
