As well as yesterday’s word about supernatural paradigm shifts and reversal of the curse Veronika also published this in His Kingdom Prophecy, and which takes previous prophetic visions further – love the Lord’s ‘BACK TO THE FUTURE’ reference:
During my time of prayer with The LORD for the Nations this morning, I saw The Finger of God drawing a line in the sand, and then I heard a loud sound of screaming and shrieking coming from deep within the Nations and I saw the powers and principalities of darkness fleeing in seven directions.
Now as I stayed watching, The Finger of God drawing a line in the sand, I felt a tangible shift taking place in the Realm of The Spirit over the Nations.
Then suddenly, I saw the line in the sand beginning to curve, and a Full Circle appeared before in the Vision.
As I looked at the Full Circle, I heard these Words,
”Watch — as My Finger of Justice now moves within The Sands of Time to draw Boundary Lines within the Nations.
“For Nations are now being Realigned and Rearranged for a greater outpouring of My Spirit draws nigh.
“Watch! For a Divine and Supernatural Circling Back to The Future is now taking place over the Nations of the earth.”
As I heard those Words, suddenly I saw the Full Circle become as a Gold Signet Ring upon The Finger of God, and then I heard,
”The Gold Signet Ring of The Synergy of The Ages!
“Watch! For a time of Divine Overturning of demonic thrones and the shattering of the powers of foreign kingdoms shall take place!”
As those powerful Words washed over me, I heard The Spirit say,
”Watch, as My Finger of Justice now moves within The Sands of Time to bring the Nations full circle.
“Watch — as My Finger of Justice begins to circle back to Redeem Time, to Restore the fortunes of Zion and to Reform a Righteous Remnant that has been scattered.
“Watch — as My Righteous Right Hand goes forth to bring to full Completion and Perfection the good work that I have started within the Nations of the Earth!”
Thank you to my friend (and author of a useful book outlining Prophets of the Bible) for having inserted a link to this helpful summary in a Fbk discussion thread about the Glory and Jesus’ return – don’t you love his play on words in the above title!
Teaching concerning the Rapture (definition given below) continues to divide Christians who give the subject of Jesus Second Coming much thought, which sadly many these days do not. We live in, as I have often remarked, a paradigm when polarization among Christians is on the markedly increase. There are the fundie-leaning Evangelicals and the liberal-leaning Evangelicals […click to continue reading at…] The Rapture revisited — JRB Publications
I’ve occasionally encountered opposition over some postings – thereby indicating they are of particular significance, which then gets quickly confirmed within a day or two that my action was definitely on the right track. On this occasion I soon received the following from the leader of Catch The Fire in Toronto:
GOD IS CRASHING OUR CHURCH MEETINGS
By Steve Long
But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. (NIV)
Let all things be done decently and in order. (NKJV)
Doing all things in a beautiful and orderly way. (Passion)
1 Corinthians 14:40
Around the world, the Spirit of God is moving. There are signs within Catch The Fire Partner churches that a fresh wave is here and it’s about to crash in on us again. Many other churches in other denominations and movements are experiencing similar things. God is showing up uniquely.
The ‘Luke 4:18’ Prophetic Word
Years ago, Paul Cain’s mother passed away on April 18th at 4:18 pm. (Paul was one of the key prophetic people whose ministry focused on revival.) Just before Viola died, she came out of her coma to give a prophetic blessing to her son and Mike Bickle (leader of International House of Prayer), who was also in the room.
The prophetic word was from Luke 4:18 related to the anointing. “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.”
Fast-forward to April 2021. Chris Reed, who is about to minister at IHOP on the April 7-10th weekend, has a dream from the Lord. The dream says “When the prince has passed, 4:18 will begin.”
Chris shares this with the IHOP leadership to see if it meant anything to them. Daniel Lim, the CEO, knew of Paul Cain’s prophetic word about 4:18 and tied them together. On April 9th, while Chris was ministering at IHOP, Prince Philip of England passed away.
On Sunday, April 18th, 2021 the anointing from Luke 4:18 was seemingly freshly released around the world. It would appear that none of the churches experiencing this wave yet knew about the 4:18 word.
At Hope City Church, a Catch The Fire Partner church in Melbourne, Australia, the Spirit of God dramatically interrupted their Sunday meeting on April 18th.
Andrew McGrath, the senior leader, said, “As I stood up to preach, people fell out of their seats, unusual manifestations occurred. I had heard God say in the week leading to the 18th that I needed to start teaching on the glory, so I prepared to teach on Matthew 17 and the transfiguration. And it came. On the 18th, a spirit of prophecy flowed, and I felt I could prophesy over everyone with such ease. People have been delivered, and others were filled with the Spirit after the service in the cafe!”
God Is Moving In Catch The Fire Partners
Since April 18, churches throughout the Catch The Fire Partners family have seen an increase in God’s movements. At Catch The Fire Church in Auckland, New Zealand, gemstones appeared at the feet of many of the attendees. Pastor Stu Allan said that “The Spirit identified the evangelists in their congregation and marked them via these gems.”
At Catch The Fire Church in Greensboro, North Carolina, they are seeing the spontaneous weight of God’s glory, laughter and deliverances. Jacob Murphy says, “A few times, the preacher has moved WAY past their prepared notes into revelatory preaching.”
At Catch The Fire Church in Boulder, Colorado, the Holy Spirit is releasing spiritual sight. The seer gift is resulting in dreams, visions, and angelic activity, especially with children. Christie Owings shares, “We are experiencing God’s presence in tangible ways, and we are all filled with awe and wonder!”
At Catch The Fire Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, people who had formerly left the church angrily have come back with repentance and humility. They are also gaining a reputation as a place of inner healing and restoration.
At Horizon Church, a Catch The Fire Partner Church in Lorrainville, Quebec, they are seeing a measured increase in God’s presence. They have greater freedom and authority to release the anointing. Pastor Terry Caron says, “I feel we are entering into a new season of His glory.”
At Catch The Fire Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba, they have, over the past three months, felt a coming revival similar to the Welsh and Hebrides revivals. They’ve had a dramatic increase in angelic and spirit visitations and prophetic dreams. Pastor Ken Haslam says, “One of the words over us as a church right now is to prepare the way for the Lord.”
[NB] At Catch The Fire Church in Toronto, Ontario, Lillian Brown was preaching on the topic of end-time glory, when the glory came and she just couldn’t continue to preach ! Toronto is in lockdown and the few others in the room were on their faces under the weight of what was happening.
All of these churches, plus many others, have seen this increase in the presence of God since April 18th, 2021.
What Is An Encounter With God?
Many of the Catch The Fire Partner churches around the world share the same vision statement; To Encounter God’s Transforming Presence. We believe that God is to be experienced, not just talked about. When the Bible says to know Father God it isn’t talking about information and facts, rather it is referring to tangible experiences.
Every significant personality the Bible talks about had experiences with God. Enoch walked with God, Moses talked to God face to face, David had God’s heart, Paul met Jesus on a road, the twelve disciples all had God moments.
Revival and A History Of Critics
When God shows up, not everyone likes it. I’m not talking about people outside the church. There are some followers of Jesus who don’t like what their church now looks like.
In 1994, Catch The Fire Church in Toronto (then known as Toronto Airport Vineyard Christian Fellowship) had about 300 attendees on a Sunday. They were a growing congregation experiencing God moving occasionally via healings, some people being slain in the spirit, some people crying. People were okay with occasional occurrences, but when it was almost everyone was having tangible experiences, it frightened and confused people. Many left.
It wasn’t until September 1994 that we were able to double the size of our meeting space by leasing an empty warehouse in the industrial plaza where we were located. We told all the international guests to go to the overflow and watch the Sunday meeting from there while our church family met. Shockingly, there were only 100 people left in the church meetings. 200 attendees didn’t like the crowds, didn’t like the manifestations, didn’t like the long meetings, didn’t like something and left.
Bill Johnson tells the same story. When he pushed in for more of the Spirit at Bethel, in Redding, California, and when the Spirit came; people left. In his case 2/3rds of the church family left as they didn’t like the way that Bill and Benni were allowing the Spirit of God to operate.
The critics of what happens when the Spirit moves, often refer to the verse at the start of this blog. They say, “1 Corinthians 14:40 says that things need to be done decently and in order.” They feel that leaders aren’t leading the way they should be.
But what is the criteria? What does decently and in order mean?
As we read 1 Corinthians, we see many corrections that Paul is making for this church, and for us today. He gave protocols for how we take part in remembering the body and blood of Jesus. He talked about eating meat offered to idols. He spent two chapters talking about how prophecy and tongues fit into a church gathering.
Look at Paul’s conclusion on how church meetings are to be conducted.
Following The Spirit and Scripture
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy and do not forbid speaking in tongues. But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. 1 Corinthians 14:39-40 NIV
Paul says that the supernatural is to be pushed into rather than being limited. We are to be expecting that the prophetic will happen each meeting (in our small groups and large gatherings). When people have prophetic words via tongues, we give room for them to be shared and we listen.
Perhaps because our church in Toronto started out as a Vineyard church, I lean on the wisdom of John Wimber who was the founder of this brand of church. He was very used to people not liking how the Spirit of God was manifesting at his church in Anaheim, California, or in his international travelling ministry.
I remember Wimber in Toronto speaking at a pastor’s gathering with several hundred leaders from our city. The question was asked by someone who didn’t like our “brand” of Toronto blessing meetings. “What I see at these meetings is not decent and in order.” He quoted 1 Corinthians 14:40.
John Wimber in his wisdom asked the pastor. “Do you allow the prophets to speak every Sunday? Do you let people sing and speak in tongues during worship?” The Toronto pastor answered “No.”
John Wimber then said something like this. “The verse you quoted starts out with Do Everything. Because you haven’t started obeying that part of the verse, you have no right to criticize me or John Arnott. We are attempting to do everything. We are seeking to lead decently and in order but you can only do that after you start Doing Everything.”
Wow. What an answer.
I remember how pastored and fathered I was as a new leader at Catch The Fire Toronto. I remember that my spirit jumped and encouraged me to push for more of the Spirit, rather than holding back.
When God Comes To Your Church
John Wimber was also famous for asking another question of pastors. “How do you know that God attended your meeting last Sunday?” He was looking for tangible evidence that God was in the room doing things that only God can do.
Anyone can speak a great sermon. You don’t need to be a follower of Jesus to do that. Anyone can say a nice-sounding prayer. Anyone can sing a song backed by a great band of musicians. None of these are evidence that God showed up to your church.
So how do we measure God being in the room?
By experiences that people have. By an accurate prophetic word or words of knowledge. By a dramatic healings and miracles. By testimonies of changed lives. By seeing demons leave people. By favour coming on people and giving them promotions and opportunities. By healing the emotions of troubled people. By raising people from the dead, and more than we can even imagine.
As we see more evidence that the Spirit of God is visiting the Catch The Fire Partners churches around the world, let’s all push in for more. Let’s celebrate when Lillian Brown can’t finish her talk. Let’s celebrate when gemstones show up, feathers float down from the rafters, people shake for an hour, and experience God is ways that we couldn’t have imagined.
It means Father God is in the room, and that is always a good thing! Let’s start by doing everything!
RB’s Footnote:
Nina and I have very fond memories of our times in Toronto, especially her awesome healing when John Arnott heard the Lord telling him ignore his message as He wanted to do some healing. So visit Catch The Fire, read their take on prophecy and politics.
Veronika writes on Tuesday 1st June at His Kingdom Prophecy:
‘Finally, here is the dream I have been wanting to share with you all.
‘I strongly encourage you all to please test, weigh and pray over everything I share. By Faith and in the Grace of God, I endeavour to outline prophetically what I saw and understood to be shown to me by The Spirit of Revelation in this powerful dream.
‘Furthermore, for those of you who follow my posts, you will all know that I am not gifted in the area of drawing or painting. However I do try to draw what I see and what is revealed to me in my dreams and visions and my prayer is that the meaning of the dream and vision is communicated as clearly as possible through my very rough and raw drawings:’
In its reference to the Apostolic and Prophetic temporarily moving in opposite directions it strikes me that it may well be referring to the issuance of a lengthy Prophecy Standards protocol and its myriad signatories thereto; to which Robin Bullock tells Steve Schultz he heard the Lord describe as they’re “signing an Act of Surrender”!
Also, I’m intrigued by the reference to ‘back to the future’ as I’ve deliberately put that phrase in a draft post about how the Lord showed me the immense importance of Bible prophecy when I was anti-church and deeply involved in New Age teachings.
Dipped into Fbk for couple minutes over last weekend and immediately saw this by Chris G Bennett and agree this is indeed part of End-time scenario. Why else would I have been directed of late to return to blogging on it??? Wot-a-way to spend Bank Holiday Monday!
PREPARING FOR THE END OF THE AGE
Thinking about all that is going on in the world, especially America right now, I suppose I, like many others, often wonder when the “reset” is going to happen. I’m an undisguised Trumpeter and I don’t mind admitting it. But sometimes I wonder why everything takes so long and I ask “what’s the hold up?” I wondered why revival isn’t yet in full swing? and why the political scene is still so corrupted?
Well the Lord answered me by bringing to my attention this passage from Isaiah –
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth; The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” (Isaiah 40:3-5)
God showed me that He is still preparing us for Revival. Even more than that, He is preparing the way for reform in the political world. It’s all so that the glory of the Lord can be revealed; it’s so the fear of the Lord can be restored to both sacred and secular; it’s so that, whatever the Lord has decided to do will be accomplished without too much pain for us! Being humans who tend to trust our fellow man, we need preparing for the shocks still to come because we would not believe the inhumanity of man to man – especially children! It has to be done slowly and carefully, and with great credibility, before the majority will accept it!
This may not just be the ‘great reset’. It may also be part of God’s “End of the Age” scenario. Think on that for a moment too! Jesus doesn’t even know His plan for that – if He did, He’d tell us! Yet more and more prophets are speaking into this. There’s some notable exceptions but for the most part the prophets are in agreement. So, if this really is all part of God’s End of the Age scenario, then we need to be preparing too. Preparing first by accepting and receiving the role, and the mantle for that role, that Jesus assigns to us.
Are you ready to do whatever He asks of you? Am I? I hope so, because I just want to serve His Kingdom purposes.
I so agree with Chris Moyler when he commented this :-
“When I hear from prophetic folk, “The King is Coming!”, I am NOT thinking of the biblical Second Coming, but rather the King Coming to the earth in an ABIDING rather than a mere visitation (wonderful though these are!)”
Applying a little lateral-thinking, what does ‘the King is coming’ actually say? Nothing much! The real question cannot be any single subject but rather, first, HOW is He coming? Is He coming in Revival, Awakening, Rapture, Return, or what? The question of ‘when’ is almost immaterial until we answer the ‘how’! In my book, revival is for the church and awakening is for the nation. I hope we’re all agreed that revival and awakening must come before Rapture, and that, depending upon your theology, must come before or at least concurrent with return! Although as a matter of purely personal opinion, nothing more nothing less, I believe the Rapture is not immediately imminent, but neither is it many decades, my only concern today is when the King is coming in awakening and revival. Until this final harvest is brought in, nothing else need concern us other than being like the wise virgins – ready, lamps full, wicks trimmed – but in the mean time getting on with the work at hand NOW!
You may recall my three posts** of late last week about being increasingly nudged to refocus upon the original purpose of my writing? Now, another week and the urging is getting stronger – plus several folk are confirming this in writing/replying on the same matter!
Here’s an encouraging word along the same vein reposted last Tuesday, 25th May, by Chris G Bennett on his Facebook (coloured text by RB):
SOON AND VERY SOON, WE’RE GOING TO SEE THE KING!
I had a very telling encounter with the Lord today. I felt a very urgent pull to get away and alone with a Him. I tried twice – both times a miserable and abject failure. Eventually, when I got back home again, I found Him waiting for me. He didn’t waste time on pleasantries!
“Tell My people, tell them I’m coming!”
“They know you’re coming Lord!”
“They don’t believe Me. They need to be told again! Tell the people, I’m coming! Again and again! Keep on telling them until I tell you to stop!”
“OK Lord, I get the message.”
“You know, sometimes I don’t think even you, and ones like you, get hold of the urgency of My message. Tell them – I AM THAT I AM IS COMING VERY VERY SOON!”
Got it yet? I have.
Yet I wonder how many really have gotten hold of this message and its implications.
Jesus is coming soon for His Bride. We’ve known this nigh on two thousand years. So why don’t we act as though we understand. Where’s the urgency, the passion, the crying out for the lost? Where’s the tearful repentance, the joyous salvation? Where’s the healing the sick, the deaf hearing, the blind seeing, the dead raised? Where’s the prisoners freed, delivered, unbound, and their families with them?
If Jesus returned tonight, what would you be like? Have you filled your lamp and trimmed your wick? Are you truly ready? Would you be ready to say to Him,”No Lord, I need to stay behind for my family!” There’s not one word in the Bible to suggest that’s an option, but would you do it?
Where’s our urgency to get the lost saved? To get the sick healed? Or the bound freed?
Jesus is coming soon for His precious Bride and she’s just not fully prepared, not ready!
We are His people. We are called by His name. Have we turned from our wicked ways? Have we repented? Has the Lord forgiven us and started to heal our land? If not, when are we going to catch on and start?
I leave you with the Lord’s own words –
“You know, sometimes I don’t think even you, and ones like you, get hold of the urgency of My message. Tell them – I AM THAT I AM IS COMING VERY, VERY SOON!”
In view of a dispute in 2008 over one of Jesus’ parables I had to check what the Bible actually states. What happened next was so unexpected and revelatory! Excitement exploded upon audibly hearing God’s voice. I emailed church friends and a few leaders about it and thus began occasional updates on current events relevant to Biblical prophecies, which led into the launch of this blog in November 2011.
The ‘God-incidental’ jigsaw pieces described in this week’s personal posts (rather than news-related items) warrant my republishing the very first piece shown to others.:
THE END-GAME IS NOW IN PLAY
Dear Friends – further to Rev’d William Smith’s recent request re Christian Freedom, may I offer some observations upon our times and, in another message, suggest a way forward?
Last year, I encountered two conflicting claims about Jesus’ explanation of the parable on the end-time harvest of wheat and tares (Matt13:36). So I went to check scripture but upon opening my Bible a deep excitement exploded within as I heard, “This is ALL about to be fulfilled” – WOW!!
Hence, my previous remarks about a sifting of the Church – in preparation for a rapid ‘sHifting’?Jesus urged His disciples to look out for and observe signs of the times. Regarding their questions about His return at the end of this Age, the earliest Gospel account has Jesus stressing 7 times, “Watch…be alert…on your guard“ (Mark 13). Matthew 24 reports Jesus saying 4 times, “Watch…and when you see…” followed by the parables of the burglar and of the virgins:> “Don’t be caught napping!” [Is the Church still asleep?] Luke’s account has, “Be always on the watch…” (ch21:36) and chpt 12 (NIV) has sections on watchfulness and interpreting the times. In each Gospel Jesus commands, “Learn the lesson of the fig tree…”. Also, the Apostles went on to give more indicators (Acts 3:20-1, Hebrews 12:26-7, 2 Peter 3, 2 Timothy 3 and the first and second letters to the Thessalonians).
Have you studied or read/heard/given any teaching on this topic lately?So, let’s watch closely what’s happening here and globally. …continued here
Let us, however, keep our eyes fixed on Jesus as we await the blessed hope of His glorious appearing.May the Lord bless you and keep you and yours,

Now, the next two confirmations of those ‘nudges’ to focus upon Jesus’ Return.:
As told in the previous post about Lillian Brown’s message on the Lord’s glory, pastor Rachel Bird mentioned visions of a supra-natural atomic bomb. Last 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.)
Well, here’s my dear wife’s example of what it looks like: Going into our back garden she saw the sun in a cloudless blue sky sitting well above neighbouring rooftops to her right. However, she then saw directly ahead of her a second sun, making our usual sun rather dim, and sitting lower in the sky over the far horizon. Furthermore, Nina could see a broad beam of light descending from that brilliant new ‘sun’ towards the ground and, as with the normal sun, nothing impeded its light on that cloudless morning.
Now, here’s Veronika West’s account posted on Tuesday on her Ignite Ireland Ministries Facebook. It makes an interesting comparison with what Holy Spirit gave Lillian, what Nina witnessed and what I saw nearly 30 years ago of a supra-natural atomic bomb going off but in reverse as an imploding fireball – its intense brilliance landing on the ground and rolling down Tilehurst Hill into Reading and then along the Thames Valley.
“A SUPERNATURAL LIGHT OF HIS GLORY THAT IS COMING INTO THE EARTHLY REALM THAT WILL EXPOSE EVERY HIDDEN SCHEME AND TACTIC OF THE ENEMY,…AND NO ONE WILL BE EXEMPT FROM THE EXPOSING LIGHT OF HIS GLORY”,…
“GET READY,…FOR A SUPERNATURAL FORENSIC LIGHT OF HIS GLORY IS ABOUT TO UNCOVER THE HIDDEN THINGS….IN THE EARTHLY REALM…!
….I keep hearing these words, “nothing that is hidden can be concealed,..and nothing that is concealed will remain hidden”...
I keep seeing a strange type of light that is coming into the earthly realm,…it’s a type of light that has never been seen by the eyes of man,…as I was shown this strange type of supernatural light in the realm of the Spirit,…it looked like and reminded me of the Ultra Violet light that forensic teams use that can reveal blood at a crime scene that has been cleaned,…but can no longer be seen with the natural eye,…
…the Holy Spirit showed me that a SUPERNATURAL LIGHT OF HIS GLORY THAT IS COMING INTO THE EARTHLY REALM THAT WILL EXPOSE EVERY HIDDEN SCHEME AND TACTIC OF THE ENEMY,…AND NO ONE WILL BE EXEMPT FROM THE EXPOSING LIGHT OF HIS GLORY,…now as I was seeing and being shown this supernatural light,….I was taken for a brief moment into the book of Genesis where sin first entered into the garden and the Glory departed and suddenly they saw that they were naked,…their eyes were opened,..and in shame they proceeded to try to cover what the Glory had covered,…
…but I was shown that NOW when the FULLNESS OF HIS GLORY begins to RETURN to His Church in the coming days,…when it enters the earthly realm there will be a grand UNVEILING AND REVEALING not just what’s been hidden but what we have not been able to see with our natural eyes,…
…I was shown that we are NOW moving into a time and season when the fullness of the light of God’s Glory is going so SHINE IN OUR MIDST that not only will the TRUE CHURCH / ECCLESIA BE SEEN AS A BRIGHT AND RADIANT LIGHT ON A HILLTOP THAT ALL NATIONS WILL BE DRAWN TO ITS RISING…BUT THAT EVERY DEFILED THING,…EVERY DEMONIC ACT,…AND EVEN THE SMALLEST OF IMPURITIES WILL BE FULLY REVEALED AND EXPOSED FOR THE WORLD TO SEE,…
…AND NO MATTER HOW MAN TRIES TO CONCEAL IT,….CLEAN IT,…OR COVER IT UP,…IT WILL BE SEEN,…STRIPPED NAKED, MAN WILL STAND BEFORE THE LORD….AND THE EYES OF MAN,…I keep hearing these words,…
”FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD SHALL COME UPON THE EARTH EVEN AS THE LIGHT OF MY GLORY RISES UPON MY CHURCH”…!!!
Wednesday 19th May I was invited to an open zoom meeting with Catch The Fire Farnborough and the leader’s wife Rachel explained they wanted attendees to break into prayer-rooms for a specific purpose connected to Sunday’s Message brought in Toronto. She shared her own insight of recent years that the Lord Jesus is returning to the earth in the very near future. This is similar to what I witnessed of how Holy Spirit had come upon Nina a year or so ago during worship at our church near Haslemere. She was impressed to announce that Jesus is coming back much sooner that we expect!
Rachel told us about the massive impact that Message had made in bringing the reality of that vital part of Bible prophecy into sharp, personal focus. She didn’t give all the details so I asked if it’s connected to the scriptural Rapture of Christians, as in Paul’s two letters to the church in Thessalonika, Greece. I understood the speaker means it’s not the same as that but refers to a massive outpouring of God’s Presence to enable a worldwide revival others refer to as The Billion Souls Harvest prior to the full outworking of the End-times foretold in great detail in the Book of Revelation. (Similar to Smith-Wigglesworth’s vision of Britain in total revival – this post refers.)
In our prayer-room I immediately heard “John 17.1” and thus read Jesus’ prayer therein. It comes in three parts where Jesus prays for Himself, for His contemporary disciples and for all believers – that’s you and me! I got drawn to the references to glory and sensed the first part also applies today, and thus to what’s about to happen. Therefore, I prayed those parts aloud:
“Father,the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as manyas You have given Him.3 Andthis is eternal life, that they may know You,the only true God, and Jesus Christwhom You have sent.4 I have glorified You on the earth.I have finished the workwhich You have given Me to do.5 And now, O Father, glorify Me togetherwith Yourself, with the glorywhich I had with You before the world was…
20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those whowill believe in Me through their word;21 that they all may be one, asYou, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.22 And theglory which You gave Me I have given them,that they may be one just as We are one…
24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world…”
Afterwards, Rachel mentioned that the manifestation of that Message is part of the vision of fire that her prophetic husband and I had (nearly 30 years previously, as told herein).
NOW, let’s consider that significant Sunday Message – I hope you’ll be able to set aside time to watch, listen carefully and assimilate what Lillian Brown brings whilst trembling under the Lord’s tangible touch:
In the opening minutes Lillian tells of the Lord expanding over a period of two days upon just two words He’d dropped into her mind, “Brace yourself!”
MY attention was strongly grabbed when she then spoke on Moses’ journey up Mount Sinai to be alone with the Almighty and encounter His Glory because I’d blogged about that some months ago in connection with Donald Trump’s period officially out-of-office as a Mt Sinai Sojourn – AND that writing was validated by several ‘God-incidents’!
” 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4 NKJV)
The full message Lillian wanted to deliver got abandoned as the Lord began speaking to her directly as she recited the scriptures describing Jesus’ return and visions of God’s Throne Room in Heaven: Continue reading →
[This photo is from Joel Rosenberg’s post of 30 Oct 2017 which I reblogged by saying. ‘After Obama administration’s deliberate anti-Christian policies we’ve started seeing Trump’s pro-Christian stance in action’. Joel writes, “In the face of genocide against Christians in the Middle East, the US government is finally making the advancement of international religious freedom — and solidarity with persecuted Christians and other faith communities — a top priority. Several days ago, Vice President Mike Pence delivered the keynote address at a conference in Washington organized by the group,“In Defense of Christians.” ]
A WORD REGARDING MIKE PENCE…;”FOR THE WEAPONS THE ENEMY USED TO BRING DERAILMENT AND DESTRUCTION ,… I SHALL NOW USE TO ACCELERATE AND DELIVER A NATION INTO THE GREATNESS OF HER KINGDOM DESTINY”..!
I am led by The LORD to share something that happened today as I was going about minding my own business, when The LORD suddenly began to speak to me concerning America’s Vice-President Michael Richard Pence — Mike Pence.
Now it’s the first time he has really spoken anything to me about this man, but what I saw and heard was so very powerful that I felt compelled to begin to intercede over it.
At first The LORD showed me that Mike Pence was indeed chosen and anointed by His Hand to be the next president after Trump, but that when Mike Pence entered into The White House he was targeted by the enemy and that Satan had found an area of weakness that he would be sure to begin to maximize on.
I was then shown by The Spirit of Revelation this area of weakness, and that it originated from his childhood, an unresolved area that gave Satan access and a foothold.
This area of weakness in the life of Mike Pence made him a prime target for an assignment of great betrayal and deception, and I saw that this assignment of Satan was subtle and stealthy, like the frog that boiled to death without even knowing.
I saw that God’s Plan for Mike Pence was indeed a great one, then The LORD showed me King Saul and likened him to me as Mike Pence.
Then The LORD brought before me ‘Judas and the kiss of betrayal’, and then The LORD said to me that “Mike Pence was chosen, handpicked, not only to be a President/ King, but that he was also to be as a powerful prophetic sign of great recompense that would come to the Nation.”
But then The LORD said to me that because Mike Pence did not rise up to resist the devil, but instead chose to compromise his beliefs and his stand for righteousness, the Anointing of God lifted off his life.
When this happened, that is when Satan had full permission to both pervert and derail his destiny.
But then The LORD said something powerful to me. He said that“The coming great recompense that He had promised to the Nation will not be stolen or jeopardized or denied, but rather it will be delayed, and that in the delay, there will be a greater level of divine exposures and a demonic dismantling of Satanic powers in the land, that would begin to take place.”
Then I was shown by The Spirit a new Vessel that has been chosen, that will carry the Mantle and fulfill that Kingdom Mandate that Mike Pence was given.
This individual will soon be revealed as the one that will serve for a season as second in command to President Trump.
The LORD said that a Joshua-type of Anointing will rest upon him and he will be known as “a strong and righteous ruler, a man who carries The Wisdom and Counsel of God.”
The LORD spoke to me again about Mike Pence and Judas and He said to me that the enemy strategically targeted Mike Pence, because he was specifically targeting the prophetic promise of supernatural Recompense and Restoration for the nation.
The enemy thought that if he could enlist Mike Pence to cooperate with him to destroy Trump, then he would not only destroy the legacy of Trump, but Mike Pence could no longer be the Chosen Instrument to carry out the Divine Mandate of Recompense and Seven-fold Restoration.
Then I heard The Spirit say,”But fear not, watch! For even as the spirit of betrayal was fully exposed and the wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing was fully revealed for all to see, so shall it be as My Promise of Full Recompense and Restoration is made manifest in the midst of you.
“For the weapons the enemy used to bring derailment and destruction, I shall now use to accelerate and deliver a nation into the greatness of her Kingdom Destiny.
“Watch, as I turn a demonic assignment of great betrayal into a Divine Act for Kingdom Advancement and the birthing of a Nation in one day!”

PS by RB: My response to a friend’s remarks on my Fbk version about this word:
“Veronika is faithful to convey what she receives and we don’t have the detail she’s alluding to but, imho, that doesn’t negate the Lord’s plans > He has same goal/purpose for each of us and we need to work out our sanctification in fear and trembling under His Grace & Mercy. Maybe that’s what MP will go through when the Holy Spirit of fear of God brings true contrition and leads him into deep deliverance and healing?”
In this video the speaker is exceptionally anointed under the Holy Spirit’s tangible presence. May you be as thoroughly blessed as I am (right from her opening words I received the first of three confirmations of material – details another time).

Their ratings are through the roof! And the fake news with their news-guards wish they had just one ounce of the golden influence these folks have.It’s called standing up with GOD using all the armor, and anointed blessings from the Lord! I’m rooting for God’s Team all the way!!! They are all here to tell each of you that you too have the option to call on the power of God and stand. Amen! GOD’S PEOPLE have the power!
This is where we really witness that all of God’s people make up the entire body of Christ, just like Jesus had said. Each has their own special function in the Kingdom and their own specialty, their own gifts to bring to the table. Wow….we have every single part coming together and we are part of this moving power of energy, this mega faith-building as we climb the mountains before us and shout from the top! If faith could be heard as it is growing, you would hear a sounding shofar and a lions bellowing roar! […continue at …] HEALTH AND FREEDOM CONFERENCE- FULL SPEECHES!

Here’s what stopped me in my tracks whilst posting a Fbk item on Canada’s Police On Guard For Thee. I was one of the first to read Yvonne Coomb’s post, but astonished by the opening words ofJesus repeating Neil’s title of the previous postAre We Ready?Thus, I had no option but to stop what I’m doing… and there’s more.

In view of my personal re-focus and a debate arising from last Thursday’s post, this by my End-times friend posted 8th April is now a featured item:
ARE WE READY?
I have been trying to grasp something that has been hovering on the edge of my consciousness for a while. Last week I had a dream where I urgently needed to fly home (from Germany, I think). I had not booked a flight, I had not arranged for transport to the airport, I had not shaved, I didn’t have a razor, I didn’t even have a washbasin, I had not packed; and so it went on. Each element of the dream identified another level of unpreparedness. Continue reading →
I’m grateful to Chris Moyler for kindly sharing his valuable close-transcript with time-points for this blog from his Fbk entry, in which he introduces Steve Schultz’s interview of Donna Rigney. One matter relates to my personal experience, as told in the footnote. Emphases in bold-face are mine as led; please listen for the nuances:
Dear Friends, …this word from Donna Rigney is truly something very special, so it cannot wait!
And I believe that it is no accident that it has come to us at this very special time of Passover/Easter.
This word is so massively encouraging, I simply couldn’t put off sharing it!
The LORD is now about to birth EVERYTHING that his true prophets have spoken to us.
A messy, deeply shocking, and very painful birthing of The LORD’S GREAT REVIVAL is now upon us.
There will be no more delay!
After the extreme disappointment of the Cross, came the glory of the resurrection!
The prophets said that the LORD would bring this birthing, and we will now see it with our own eyes.
It will be SO HUGE, the entire world will see it!!
It’s a whole hour long. Please don’t skip any part of it.
If you want it faster, you can play it at 2x speed with captions, by adjusting the YouTube settings behind the 3 dots.
Be very blessed!

A GREAT UNVEILING IS COMING!
Donna Rigney (D) with Steve Shultz (ST) on Elijah Streams, 2nd April 2021
7:00 ST – God’s people will be protected in the times ahead, and we are not to be in fear?
7:15 D – God showed me an enormous tsunami of change that is coming. I walked in it with Him. For those rooted in me, it will only bring GOOD to them. But for those opposed to me, it will bring destruction and devastation.
7:45 Donna was given a revelation on March 27. In the last few months, the LORD has been giving revelation on a regular basis, almost every day. Continue reading →
This is from the blog Dover Beach: Polish Pastor Chases Cops out of Church on Easter Weekend John 2:15: “And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple.” John 2:17: “And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me […]
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, read in full here).
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.
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 foresook all and followed Him (Luke 5:10-11). Continue reading →
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.
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 about this on Monday, 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)
Thinking about all that is going on in the world, especially America right now, I suppose I, like many others, often wonder when the “reset” is going to happen. I’m an undisguised Trumpeter and I don’t mind admitting it. But sometimes I wonder why everything takes so long and I ask “what’s the hold up?” I wondered why revival isn’t yet in full swing? and why the political scene is still so corrupted?
MY attention was strongly grabbed when she then spoke on Moses’ journey up Mount Sinai to be alone with the Almighty and encounter His Glory because I’d blogged about that some months ago in connection with Donald Trump’s period officially out-of-office as a 
I am led by The LORD to share something that happened today as I was going about minding my own business, when The LORD suddenly began to speak to me concerning America’s Vice-President Michael Richard Pence — Mike Pence.
