Prophetic Word for the ‘Untied’ Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland – Veronika West

Posted on by

I hear The Spirit say, “This Nation has been out of time, out of tune and out of step with My Spirit.

Watch, as a supernatural resetting of the times and seasons begins to take place over the four Nations of this land.

Yes! For Satan has sought to alter the times and seasons, but Watch and Pray, for My Desire is to bring the four back into the sheep-fold.

Watch, as My Hand of Justice and Judgement will begin to move strategically and with surgical precision in the days ahead, to bring an unblocking to the four chambers of the sick and diseased heart of this Nation, for surely I tell you, My Spirit is moving to bring a Divine Reconstruction and a Reconfiguration within the heart of the four Nations that has beat out of time and out of rhythm with My Heart for this land.

Watch, as I bring to birth a new Kingdom Movement in this Nation!

Listen! For I say to you, it’s time! It’s time! It’s time for a time of Silence, Separation and even a time of Isolation has not been in vain — but has been for the purpose of Purification unto Transformation.

Listen! For the silence and the stillness in The Realm of The Spirit that has been over this land shall suddenly be broken.

“It Is Time”

I say, look to Big Ben! Yes! For the chiming of Big Ben will be heard and will herald a Changing of The Guard, and this shall be a sign that the Nation is now entered into the 11th hour.

For a Nation that has moved out of My Divine Time is now being Re-aligned, Re-ordered and Re-mantled — for a great Awakening and Reformation Movement is now beginning!”

Blessings to you all.

May you my dear reader have a most blessed and joyous Christmas

Christmas card

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

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

+ + +

Readers, have a ‘Mega-merry’ Christmas, as may be inferred from the OT Hebrew word ashar (Strong’s #833, as in Proverbs 31:28 on the virtuous wife), meaning

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

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

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

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

May it be an especially blessed night of spiritual silence and insight for everyone.

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

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

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

This version by ‘Celtic Woman’ is also sublime…

FOOTNOTE:

I’m intrigued at the double, personal relevance of this bulletin’s date in its American sequencing. Right in the middle is my birth-date 22 and I saw the whole 12/22/21 as a kind of mirror reflection of 12/2–2/21 the first part reading orally as “two twelve”.

This was how we recited our house number of where I lived as a child, “Two twelve, Edgeley Road” which is ‘212’. It’s also the place I returned to in a vivid dream in 1989  when I almost died and dropped into hell but for Jesus rescuing me, as recounted in

James 3 (NKJV)

5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of [c]iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of [d]nature; and it is set on fire by [e]hell.  7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 

8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the [f]similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.  (BibleGateway.com)

INTRODUCTION

The original version of Monday Newsmix 1 of The Gateway Pundits’ very brief extract from Donald Trump’s 12 minute patriotic message on Sunday, had to be re-arranged after seeing how strongly Holy Spirit sparked my wife as she watched it.  So I moved the introductory paragraph on ‘sifting’ to follow TGP headline, and inserted a note on what happened to Nina.

Subsequently, I came across the full video on a couple of friends’ timelines and can now quote all Trump’s references to Jesus, not only His birth but also great influence upon America:

POTUS #45 BROADCAST –  A BLESSING

19th December (Auto-generated transcript, punctuation and underscore by RB)

[5:15mins]  “More than 2,000 years ago an angel (of) the Lord appeared and really it’s, it’s been a long and beautiful history – but an angel of the Lord appeared to humble shepherds and proclaimed the reason for our Christmas joy: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a savior, which is Christ the Lord”.

Now when I was listening to Robert (pastor) perhaps unknowingly, you use the word ‘Savior’ a lot and our country needs a savior right now and our country has a savior – and that’s NOT me – that’s somebody MUCH higher up than me, MUCH higher – we just do what we have to do – but the life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ forever changed the world.

It’s impossible to think of the life of our own country without the influence of His example and of His teachings: our miraculous founding, overcoming Civil War, abolishing slavery, defeating communism and fascism, reaching boundless heights of science and discovery.

So many incredible things, even right outside the magnificent skyscrapers and the whole development that this beautiful church is a part of – so different, so beautiful… and the United States ultimately becoming a truly great nation and we’re going to keep it that way, we’re going to keep it that way, we’re not going to let it go, we’re not going to let it go!

But none of this could have ever happened without Jesus Christ and his followers and his church – none of it!  And we have to remember that Jesus Christ is the ultimate source of our strength and of our hope and here and everywhere and for all time – Jesus Christ!

And we want to just thank everybody who believes, because we’re believing in our country, we’re believing in the world, we’re believing in life this Christmas. Let us pray for….”

Now, having a testimony of the anointing in those words from Donald Trump, compare with this:

‘POTUS’ #46 BRIEFING & BROADCAST –  A CURSING

I’m grateful to Chris G Bennett’s American wife Linda for posting this on her Fbk:

This is copied from the opening paragraphs of Press Briefing by White House Covid-19 Response Team and Public Health Officials (17th December)

Here’s how Biden delivered it, thereby pronouncing a curse upon Americans:

17th December 2021 (Auto-generated transcript, punctuation and emboldening RB)

“I have a direct message in American people and tomorrow the team is going to be on
television and talking in more detail about what i’m going to be speaking about today, but I want to send a direct message to the American people:

Due to the steps we’ve taken omicron has not yet spread as fast as it would have otherwise done, and that’s happening in Europe, but it’s here now and it’s spreading and it’s going to increase.

For (the) unvaccinated we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death –  unvaccinated – for themselves, their families and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm.

But there’s good news if you’re vaccinated, you have your booster shot you’re protected from severe illness and death – period!…”

Read, weigh and pray for Jesus’ blood covering to protect our American cousins…

Monday Newsmix 1 – Donald Trump again points people to Jesus. Hence ongoing hatred, but the sifting has begun!

Simultaneous God-incidental ‘Warning’ in my blog and in Veronika West’s prophetic alert! (GPS #74)

Posted on by
Reply

1 > At around 4:45 pm yesterday, according to this blog’s data, after explaining the concept of God’s GPS, I inserted this paragraph into the draft of Welcome to New Subscribers:

‘A Warning: Occasionally my blogging encounters opposition from fellow believers and others but this form of ‘enemy’ action shows my blogging is ‘bang on target’!  (As with last week’s consideration of some so-called ‘conspiracy theories’ being correct!)’

Wanting to keep brief without details, I omitted saying every such occasion has been confirmed ‘God-incidentally‘ by a specific incoming item of prophecy or correspondence  – BUT I don’t know why I gave it such a terse start, for it wasn’t necessary to describe such reactions that way. I had in mind, however, what the Lord had given me on sifting of believers in connection with the hostility and arrogance received from supposedly Christian men to the link I’d provided to Dr Elisabeth G’s comments based upon her  medical knowledge of the dangerous design of anti-covid mRNA vaccines. They even slandered her professional integrity!

SO I guess I got a strong nudge from the Lord to preface the para as ‘A Warning’.

Furthermore, a post-opposition God-incidental confirmation happened this time too!  In fact, its sourcing was practically simultaneous!

2 > The ‘Welcome’ was published at 5:15pm yesterday and I closed down my office for dinner-time after which we delayed clearing up as we were expecting phone calls; but I did something very unusual for that time of day – I was reminded of not having checked if Veronika had posted anything (although we’re ‘friends’ Fbk doesn’t send me alerts) and quickly checked her Fbk timeline on my phone.

So about 6:45pm I noted Veronika had posted ‘Just now’ her own ‘Warning’…!!!(today’s screenshot) – AND she brings a second specific confirmation within the text:

PROPHETIC ALERT & WARNING: “SATAN COMES TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER”

Prophetic Alert and Warning: “Satan comes to divide and conquer — to divide and conquer!”

So, I was woken early hours of this morning (Monday) to a Prophetic Alert and Warning in the spirit realm, and as I began to pray I heard these Words,

“Watch! For the devourer comes in this hour to divide and conquer, to divide and conquer, to divide and conquer.

Yes! To drive a wedge, to turn soldier against soldier, brother against brother, for the spirits of confusion, rebellion and strife have been released into the ranks of the Remnant Army that is now rising.

Watch! For Satan has planted landmines of anger, bitterness, fear, hatred, revenge and rejection that will cause many who are undiscerning and even distracted — to be suddenly spiritually disarmed and even dismembered.

For Satan’s assignment in this hour is to hinder and halt the advancing forces of My Remnant Army in The Nations of the earth.

Watch! For I say again — the devourer comes in this hour to divide and conquer, to disarm and to dismember, to halt and hinder My Kingdom Warriors from taking ground and occupying territory.

Watch and pray — for blind eyes to be opened, to see what has been hidden and concealed, for the destruction and the derailment of the Kingdom Destinies of Nations in this hour.

Watch and pray — for Hope deferred has made the hearts of many Warriors sick, who have waged war on the battlefield for the covenant birthright of the nations.

For have I not said that it is “not by might nor by power — but by My Spirit”?

So, I say to you My Brave Hearts, My mighty Remnant Warriors — fear not! But be still and know that I AM God!

Listen, for the sound of a loud roar and a rattling will be heard as the mighty Winds of My Seven Spirits shall now blow forth upon The Battlefield, to Resurrect, to Revive, to Reform and raise up an Army of Radical Reformers and Revivalists.

Watch! For The Winds of My Seven Spirits shall blow forth upon The Battlefield from the north, south, east and west, to fully expose and uncover every satanic landmine and demonic danger that seeks to destroy and derail My Remnant from advancing forward.

Listen! For I call My righteous Sons and Daughters to resist the spirits of division, pride and self righteousness and to fully surrender to My Will and My Word — to do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in Humility, to consider others more important than themselves.

So, I say, it is time to arise in Unity, having One Voice, One Vision and One Mission to Pursue, Overtake and Recover all for My Glory and for the advancement of a New Kingdom Era in The Nations of the earth!”

Now, as I began to meditate on what I had heard, at first The Holy Spirit quickened to me two specific and powerful Visions I received, where I was shown that The LORD was going to yoke the Ox and the Horse together in the days ahead (the yoking of the apostolic and prophetic mantles) for the advancement of His Kingdom.

Then He took me to a third powerful and poignant Word to His Warriors of The Battlefield.

1: See link to first Vision speaks powerfully to the Nation of the United Kingdom:

“Spiritual Showdown: altars being rebuilt and wells reopened across Britain“

2: See Second link to Vision speaks to the Nation of America:

“The T•R•U•M•P Chariot and The Wheels of Justice and Judgement“

  • Disunity Brings Destruction; a Nations Destiny Being Delayed….
  • A People Divided Cannot Build/ Push; a Demonic Strategy to Destroy a Nations Destiny…

”Watch and Pray! Pay close attention, for Satan’s demonic strategy to derail the destiny of a Nation has been to destroy the pushing power of My People and the pulling power of My Prophets and Apostles, through the spirits of pride, fear, control and strife!”

Then The LORD took me back to another powerful word and vision…

3: See link to the third Vision — a Now Word to the Weary Warriors!

“Warriors for The Kingdom Destiny of The Nations”

Blessings to you all.

RB Footnote: One antagonist decried Dr Elisabeth’s reference to ‘demonic laboratories’ and so I amused myself at the thought of him encountering what I’d found decades ago operating behind the ecstatic state of ‘nirvana’ – The Devourer !

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy is the Tap-Root – Part 3 (Interpretation)

We continue with Veronika West’s Two-part vision of rotten roots beneath nations: as published 3rd December on His Kingdom Prophecy:

Good Morning Warriors!

I love and appreciate each one you and I pray for you all….

Now I know some of you may find what I bring through my encounters are long-winded, but I must endeavour to always be very clear and concise on what I am shown both for the purpose of prayer and for testing.

Yesterday I brought two prophetic submissions for you to read, weigh and pray over,.. Part 1 and then Part 2…”Mercy, Mercy, Mercy is The Tap-Root!” — both submissions were from the same encounter, and references were made to previous Words that paralleled powerfully with this encounter.

So late Last night, I received a message from a trusted Prophet Friend of mine who is also a Teacher of the Word and an Interpreter of Dreams and Visions, and he told me that he had read through both of my submissions and while reading prayerfully the Spirit of Revelation gave him deeper insights into what was shared.

I asked him if he would please write out what he was given to him by The LORD, and so he did and what incredible revelation The LORD gave him.

Please friends, I strongly encourage you to read through this powerful interpretation prayerfully. It is very accurate and offers some amazing Prophetic Insights and Warfare Strategies for the hour! Enjoy!

Two-part vision of rotten roots beneath nations: Mercy is the Tap-Root – Veronika West

Posted on by
Reply

Last week Veronika received a vision in great depth, which reiterates previous ones as well as complementing my musing upon the Lord starting to expose rotten politics in UK, USA & EU – and that’s what He’s been doing since in 2016! 

It’s also appropriate with regard to this morning’s post on The Writing on the Wall and the Biden family and makes an important implicit reference to ‘the plumb-line’, about which I’d blogged an essential spiritual difference between Donald Trump and ‘China Joe’ Biden regarding pre-natal infanticide; one is strongly pro-life, the ‘puppet’ supports murder at full-term! (See Two President Prophecy coming to pass: Can the dis-United States of America be a trustworthy ally and keep its place as Global Leader?)

Here’s what she published in two parts on His Kingdom Prophecy on Thursday and Friday 2-3 December:

AMERICA; MERCY, MERCY, MERCY IS THE TAP-ROOT (Part 1)

“Mercy, Mercy, Mercy is The Tap Root! I say again and again, Mercy is The Tap Root!”

America, last night I fell into a deep sleep and The LORD took me into a place — a realm and dimension of The Spirit — that I cannot begin to explain fully in words what I saw there, but it was a place in what felt like the deep underground systems of the Nations.

It was as if I was caught up in a world-wide web of roots. I was taken deep below ground, under the Nations of the earth. Continue reading →

‘Conspiracies’ Proven True #1: Archbishop confirms we ARE living though Revelation 13

Posted on by

ESSENTIAL READING:

Governments, ‘big pharma-tech’, mainstream tv, press and social media – Christians even! – deny and ridicule information and opinion questioning widely accepted tenets that are broadcast and published. They treat such ‘conspiracy theories’ with contempt. BUT let’s look at some evidence proving conspiracy theories about ‘Big Brother’ are, in fact, correct:

Last night Tim Shey added this comment to my blog of Cesare Sachetti’s Trump’s Final battle with NWO to save America and the world:

‘Richard: There has been an interesting development in Italy with Cesare Saccetti. A couple of days ago, Cesare published an interview that he did with Archbishop Vigano. The title was “Vigano: ‘Those who resist the NWO will have the help and protection of God’”. Yesterday I left two comments on that post; it was a very good interview.

This morning I got a reply from Cesare and then I looked at some more comments on that post. I did some other reading and then I went back to Cesare’s blog a half hour later. His blog was suspended! 

My guess is that his interview with Archbishop Vigano was the straw that broke the camel’s back and the powers that be shut down his website.

Even if all the Christian websites are shut down on the planet, we still have the power of the Holy Ghost in our lives. The Kingdom of Heaven will continue to move forward.

Here is a great comment from a video on John G. Lake, a missionary to South Africa in the early 1900s:

“John G Lake planted over 600 churches in South Africa in 5 years and that in the early 1900, no cell phones, TV, social media…how did he do it? Holy Spirit brother! Blessing from South Africa.” – Charl Thompson’

Also, I noticed the headline shown above and shared on Facebook with caption: NOTE PROOF OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE NOW ON EARTH.  WE KNOW IT’S IN THE HANDS OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO IS ALSO EL SHADDAI (ALMIGHTY GOD OF UTTER RUIN & DEVASTATION).

Earlier that day TGP had shared a special message from Carlo Maria Vigano…

This morning, however, I’m very pleased to find Cesare’s site has been reinstated and I urge you to take time to study his 11-page interview with this apostolic archbishop, from which I publish his introduction, extracts of his questions and just a few highly significant paragraphs – underscoring added.  Note; this article’s title reflects what several prophets say about our standing against the globalist, deep-state: Continue reading →

Declaration on Justice – Passion for the Nation

by  | Dec 2, 2021 | Government, Justice

“The Lord is our judge, The Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our King. He will care for us and save us”  Isaiah 33:22

Even as the landmark abortion case goes before the Supreme Court in the US, and as various nations bring in mandatory measures, we acknowledge the changing situations around us, the opportunities for the Kingdom in some, and the complexities involved in others.:

Jesus, we come into agreement with our spiritual family in the United States of America and we declare, “It is time for a historic, spiritual awakening within Great Britain and America that will lead to a great harvest of souls” (The Call – Lou Engle- 2018).

We declare this is the time for a Turning of every ungodly law and precedent set, for Revival to be released, lives healed and for the Kingdom of God to come in all its fullness.

Concerning the United Kingdom, we thank Him for every aspect of Godly inheritance within our land. We thank Him for Kingdom foundations within our government, justice systems and many aspects of our society. We praise and thank Him for the freedoms which, based upon His Word, have also been our inheritance, encompassed in our laws and impacted the world. In this season of the impossible becoming possible, we declare that which we have seen in the past season of Kingdom influence in this nation is only a shadow of what He desires for our future.

We repent of every law and interpretation of the law that has resulted in the destruction of the life of unborn children. We appeal to Him that any judgment against us will be reversed as we cry out for His mercy. We decree and declare according to His Word the revelation that life is created by Him, and that life begins in the womb will become evident, accepted and voiced by society. (Psalm 133:13; Luke 1:44)

As the Ecclesia in this nation, we decree and declare the laws of this land will come into alignment with His Laws and Statutes, and the fullness of His Word.

We decree a turning of every ungodly precedent set specifically over the sanctity of human life, that this nation will be positioned for blessing in the days ahead.

We decree this nation will live by the Truth and in the light of the Truth, and in the Name of Jesus, that the power of the Gospel and the revelation of Jesus Christ, will again become the building blocks upon which society builds.

We declare Isaiah 28:6…  

“He will be a spirit of justice to the one who sits in judgment, a source of strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.”

LEVIATHAN’S WILES

Leviathan has been on the rampage again. The old twisting serpent has always sought to squeeze the life of God out of us. This time he seeks to divide and conquer through miscommunications and word shifting. He’s stirring up mistrust amongst leaders and creating factions out of fiction.

THE Key to foretelling the future

Posted on by

Continuing observations from our imaginary time-machine of a meeting of the first followers of Jesus the Messiah, we can take advantage of having come from the far-off future.

Thus, we know that 50-60 years later John, one of those closest to Him, will write an especially significant account of Jesus’ mission and follow-up with letters, all based upon their personal relationship, to this growing group – the Ekklesia.

Moreover, towards the close of John’s life, Jesus will dictate to him letters specifically addressed to seven ‘churches,’ as well as take him into heavenly realms to show him what will happen before He is to return to reign as King of Kings for a thousand years.

Therefore and I stress, what John is to write is key to a full understanding the nature and authority of authentic prophecy. Note how he begins his Gospel account with stating Jesus’ real identity, namely: Continue reading →

This, one of my first blogs and posted on 22nd November 2011, was later included on home page’s About menu to inform visitors of the acceleration of prophetic fulfillment, as may be inferred from the links to confirmatory events added two years later:

NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THIS

As you may have gathered from my Welcome, with my dear Nina’s patience my time  is spent writing on prophecy and Richard’s Watch began with a brief examination of eschatology – the theological study of the destiny and judgement of nations and all people, even angels!  You may know it as ‘The Last Days’ or, more popularly, as ‘End-Times’. The origin of this term is in the ancient Hebrew Torah’s description: Acharit Hayamin, ie. ‘Last of the Years’.

Are most Christians deceived? — John Barber

Are most Christians deceived? Warning: if you choose to read what follows, you are in for a roller coaster and I am probably going to upset you in some way. We all have a tendency to align with those who echo our opinions, often based on our own life experiences and axioms we abide by. […] Are most Christians deceived? — JRB Publications

In my opinion, the answer to this question is YES, but not so much on grounds of ignorance of Bible truths and following falsehood as for refusing to open eyes and ears, both physical and spiritual –  even insisting it’s not our remit – to events of direct relevance to Bible prophecy. Earlier this week John Barber and I debated this issue with some friends on Farcebuk..

Hope NOT Woke – Neil Mackereth

Posted on by
3

HOW time flies when we’re having fun!  Although I read the following earlier this week it’s now time to re-read what my friend and author Neil emailed last Thursday!  (Regular readers of this blog may recall his previous insights and book SIGNS). He writes,

“I have, as ever, been following your Blog with great interest. I have been intrigued by the information Nina has been receiving, and the “God-incidences” associated therewith. In line with that, the Lord has been telling me that those who do not study / know what the Bible says are in great peril. Tragically, many churches are not preaching the Gospel in all its fullness.

It is so hard to convince those who should be caring for the flock, that teaching End- Times prophecy and what to watch for is both vital and urgent.

There is a lot going through my mind at the moment that I am processing – attached is a recent paper which came from my endeavours to understand the way “woke” is used today…”

HOPE, NOT WOKE

Woke:  A term that originated in the United States and which originally referred to recognising (being awake to) racial discrimination. About ten years ago it started to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities and has been used as shorthand for ideas involving identity politics and notions implying (stigmatising) white privilege – it has now become a battle cry for pressure groups who perceive themselves as victims of some injustice or have decided that aspects of history should be “airbrushed” out. Those who challenge their perception are likely to be accused of not being “woke” or, worse still, ridiculed, “no-platformed”, and pilloried.

Any teaching that runs counter to the Bible should be resisted and, where appropriate, challenged, even though to do so may be uncomfortable (isolating). That statement begs a question: Do we know the Bible well enough to recognise proposals, practices and policies that are in conflict with the teachings of Scripture, and well enough to give a reasoned response?

Because of the overzealous application of aspects of political correctness, many people are unwilling to express their true feelings. Topics that are now largely avoided, especially when it comes to preaching, include (in no particular order): the reality of radical Islam; Hell; LGBTQ+ issues; BLM; abortion; End Times prophecy in general, and its relationship to current world events in particular; and the reality of humanism. Put another way, the hazards of saying something that others might see as not being “politically correct” (PC), has encouraged many people to remain silent. Freedom of speech is under threat and the middle ground is disappearing. The easy option of remaining silent on burning issues is equivalent to appeasement: we have allowed a liberal ideology to infiltrate our society and set the agenda for political correctness.

PC indoctrination starts at an early age: children face all sorts of confusing messages at school and through the media. Every day they are confronted by a myriad of liberal views that are in direct conflict with Bible principles. If we do not stand against this onslaught of opinions and propaganda, some of which is likely to (designed to?) alienate children from their parents, we are endangering the well-being of the next generation.

“For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” –  Esther 4: 14

‘But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” Peter realized that he had no choice but to resist the unreasonable ban on the Gospel. Not to do so would, over time, undoubtedly lead to further restrictions on what could be preached.’ – Acts 4: 19

In the World Economic Forum’s proposed great global reset, aimed at resolving the world’s burgeoning debt crisis, and if the “New World Order” materialises, there is a distinct possibility that sermon topics will be proscribed. In the short-term, silence may appear to be the wisest course – but where will that lead? Their proposals are definitely not God-focused!

There are many who see nothing wrong with combining Christian faith and woke-ness. They may support the abortion laws as allowing “life-style” choices, or encourage LGBTQ+ rights and education as aspects of an enlightened society.

Perhaps the only consolation in this downward spiral is that Jesus said that these things would come to pass. That leads into the necessity of our knowing what the Bible says, if we are to have any chance of understanding what is happening in the world today.

Realising that prophetic Scripture is being fulfilled as we watch, is proof of God’s omniscience and omnipotence: He knows the end from the beginning and is in control.

That is the foundation of our hope.

I was with Nina during the last two ‘parts’ she was learning more about the global thunder and our need to stand in our spiritual armour.  In the last, when hearing the Lord tell her about his Name in response to a worship song, she had to sink rapidly into her chair..!
