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

[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!

A post-Resurrection miracle as a ‘mystery’ now revealed – part 1

[First published 2018]

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…

DSCF3144

‘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.]

HE IS RISEN! – Time and Quantum effects in Jesus’ Resurrection

Posted on by

First published in the early years of this blog and annually thereafter for blessing new readers:

In preparation for the Holy-days’ weekend Nina creates a tableau for contemplating Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. She’s inspired about what items to collect and arrange, usually including a rock with a central hole eroded by the sea and which we found on a beach. It serves as both the ‘skull’ and garden tomb of Golgotha. For example, the above display has a scarf as a ‘river of life’ flowing out of the empty cave/tomb below the cross. (In 2012 it gave an insight that I’ll share below.)

Maundy Thursday is celebrated as the night when Jesus and the lead-disciples ate an early Passover Seder, or meal (see video explanation). Following the meal, one disciple betrayed Him by leading Temple guards to capture Him at night for trial by a ‘kangaroo’ court of Jewish leaders. It was a foregone conclusion that they’d demand authorisation of His death from Pontius Pilate, the Roman Prefect, or governor, of Judea.

If you’re unfamiliar with this true story and how it led to Jesus’ gruesome torture, death and burial followed by his amazing bodily resurrection and appearance to His disciples, read doctor Luke’s investigative account and the personal account of Jesus’ closest disciple John. (Later, a Jewish leader violently opposed to them but who encountered Jesus en-route to Damascus would write He was seen simultaneously by over 500 – read 1 Corinthians 15:6)

HEAVEN & HUMAN HISTORIES’ PIVOTAL TIME

Jesus Christ died so that each of us may be forgiven for our sins. As a result of this new status, we can have direct personal access to Almighty God when we believe in Jesus Christ. As the Son of God, Jesus suffered on our behalf as our ‘scapegoat’. That is, Jesus took the place of death that we deserved because of our sinfulness, for the shedding of a sinless one’s blood was the only way our status could be changed for us to gain personal salvation. Apostle Paul put it thus to the Romans:

8But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. (Romans 5:8-11, NIV, see whole chapter.)

Now, when I was a new Christian I found that rather hard to understand – but it works! The theological term is ‘atonement’, or ‘substitutionary atonement’. In bringing forgive-ness to the guilty, however, this can cause deep problems for those who’ve been the victim of crimes. After all, why should a killer find forgiveness by God? And what about the victim’s families, or the victim of abuse? They find it very hard if well-nigh impossible to forgive.

In 2012 I heard a Portsmouth prison chaplain address this issue with a concept taken from the criminal justice system: restorative justice. This involves an active dialogue between victim and offender, plus reparation. And it has a sound basis in theology. How?

Jesus was a guiltless victim, directly of those who wanted Him killed, and indirectly of everyone’s ‘fallen state’ of sinfulness, which could only be rectified by His death.

And Almighty God, the Father, is a victim too. How? He’s victim of humanity’s rebellion against Him. For example and especially over the way religious leaders murdered His son – how they seethed with rage when Jesus denounced them! (read Luke 20:9-19). So, every victim can find an identity and affinity in both God and Jesus Christ in their situation. Hence, they can receive God’s own ability to forgive because He will help them choose to forgive those who’ve harmed them. [Lack of forgiveness may be the only thing that hampers God – see Matt 6:14-15]

A TABLEAU IN TIME

During contemplation upon the tableau illustrated above, an insight dropped into mind that the Resurrection created a distinct point in the flow of, or perhaps even a change in, Time itself. That is, the now termed ‘common era’ calendar is the medieval Christian one that counts years from the approximate birth of Christ as ‘anno Domini’. But in fact, a more powerful one would be the point at which things in heaven changed and thus affected our lives on earth and its ultimate role in God’s scheme of creation. This took place at the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, His revival to life from death itself.

That such a concept may be valid can be found in the discoveries about the material of ‘The Shroud of Turin’, the shroud in which Jesus was thought to have been carried and covered during His interment. It is of most astounding significance when examined from the view-point of modern physics.

Apart from the supra-natural or spiritual aspect, that unique, singular event could have naturally happened by means of a ‘singularity’ (a theoretical gravitational effect associated with ‘black holes’, eg. as may have been the starting point of the creation of the universe, or ‘Big Bang’).

Don’t take my word for this but consider that of Dame Isabel Piczek (deceased 2016), famous as a monumental artist and award-winning figurative draughtswoman. Her highly detailed analysis of theories about how the image on the shroud was formed is authoritative, as in the first of several detailed articles here.

Also, as a physicist who may have considered implications from a quantum mechanics standpoint, her conclusions about how the image was formed are most intriguing: it seems that the image of Jesus can only have been created by its hovering equidistantly above and below his reclining bent corpse. Furthermore, this necessitated the body’s levitation – perhaps not an impossible feat during the moment of the Resurrection power-blast? After all, the disciples had witnessed Jesus walking on water and were yet to see His levitating into the clouds!

Dame Isabel succinctly summarises:

We have a piece of cloth and it leads us to a mysterious gate which opens for us, and it lets us see a completely different world, an extraordinary world with extraordinary laws.

Consider these claims by reading those articles and watching this 19 minute of extracts from the DVD The Fabric of Time (with its own lead-in trailer). There’s also a discussion of her scientific opinion at In Case You Missed Isabel Piczek’s Wonderful Paper.

‘Coincidentally”, just after having read the last link and revised the preceding references to science (post published 5 years ago), I’m alerted to theoretical physicist Mehki’s new post on ‘black holes’ and ‘event horizons’ (see Looking to the Horizon). The discussion thread has a valuable contribution from ‘physicalrealityblog’ that’s pertinent to the Shroud site’s discussion of Dame Isabel’s analysis and indirectly reconnects it back into quantum physics!
2017: ‘Coincidentally’ amusing that bloggers ‘hidden’ on opposite sides of the world (Britain and New Zealand) were preparing items on the fabrics that Jesus Christ was buried with – the full-body shroud and the head linen – in Joseph of Arimathea’s private tomb. My post updated on Wed 12 April 2017 was scheduled on Thurs 13th for auto-publication Sun 16 April. On Good Friday 14 April Joanne Rolston published news of the ‘Sudarium’ in AB-solute Proof – The Blood That Speaks.

Jesus Christ’s identity hidden in the Bible’s first sentence

Tim Shey comments on the crucifixion post, “The First Word in the Bible says Jesus is God and He Will Die on the Cross” and he provides this excellent 10 minutes video:

The video was included when I posted the original of this item, which was based upon Jonathan Hill’s book Unlocking the Sign Miracles of John. I’ll tell more another day, but to continue:

ALPHA-OMEGA HIDDEN WITHIN GENESIS 1:1 (AS ALEPH-TAV)

In Appendix I (pages 202-203) on the meaning of number 37 and its palindromic partner 73, Jonathan says both form the numerical value for the fundamental Hebrew word ‘wisdom’. He tells how this pair play a role in a multiplication, the result being the precise number of the Hebrew for the creation verse of Genesis 1:1. He goes on to relate this to 666 and a diagrammatic representation, which he interprets as meaning:

‘This transformation represents the dispensational truth that at the second coming of Christ, the dominant spiritual hierarchy of the world changes from 666, the number of the ‘beast’, to 12 – the governmental number of Israel. All this information including this powerful intervention of God is elegantly and visually encoded in the first verse of the Bible.’

This claim continues by divulging this astounding mystery:

REVELATION 1:8, 11 – 21:6 – 22:13

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” (NKJV, BibleGateway.com)

Jesus’ Crucifixion described within the Holy Name of God

Posted on by

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:

Ha Shem

“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!!

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.

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)

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

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

Posted on by
Reply

“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:

‘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…

“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.

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.)

Behold It’s A New Thing! Do You See it? – Veronika West

Posted on by
Reply

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…

BEHOLD IT’S A NEW THING!

“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?

Posted on by

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!’

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 →
