The BIG APPLE…the silver arrow and a small window of Time! – Veronika West

Posted on Veronika’s Ignite Ireland ministry Facebook and added emphases mine:
”THE BIG APPLE…THE SILVER ARROW AND A SMALL WINDOW OF TIME…!!

…Friends,…I wanted to submit for Urgent Prayer…two shorts dreams I had early hours of this morning,…5/11/2025

…these were two strange dream encounters,.. that I believe Speak to the Hour prophetically,…two encounters that need to be weighed and Warred over…

….So In the first Dream encounter,…

I was taken into what felt like a strange but all too familiar place,…a realm and dimension of the Spirit,…that my Spirit seemed to know,…and recognise..

…it felt like I was standing in the midst of the Garden of Eden…the atmosphere was weighty with powerful Prophetic revelation and symbolism,….

…Now as I was standing in this place,…suddenly I found myself looking at a large Apple (just for clarity sake…nowhere in the Bible does it mention that Eve ate an apple it simply says,.. ”She ate of the Fruit”… )

…As I was looking at the large Apple which was hanging low upon the branch of the tree,…

…I saw that the fruit looked ripe for harvest,…the Apple was very appealing and even enticing,… but in-spite of the outward appearance of the fruit,…

…I knew by the Spirit that the inside of the Apple was infested with worms….

…The fruit looked appetising….but was not good to eat…

…But then….suddenly,……I heard these words,…”THE BIG APPLE!”

…And instantly,…I knew prophetically, that I was being shown “New York”….(The Big Apple!)…

…And As I heard those words,…the dream shifted,…

…and I found myself standing in a very large Orchard,…where there many fruit trees…all growing in neat rows…

…and I saw that a Time of Harvest had come upon the Orchard,…

…I saw that some of the fruit trees in the Orchard had already been Harvested,..

…but there there were some trees that still had ripening fruit upon the branches which were now ready to be picked… when suddenly,..

…I heard these Words,…Watch!…For Harvest Time in Early Fall has begun”…

…Now as I heard those words,..my eyes were drawn back to the Tree and to the ripened apple that was infested with worms,..

…when suddenly, I saw a hand reach up and it picked the beautiful looking fruit off the branch,..

…and I watched as the fruit was then placed in a large bag with many other ripe Apples that were in need of sorting and washing…

…now as I stayed watching in the dream,…I knew by revelation that the Orchard spoke to the United States of America and that the many Fruit Trees in the Orchard,…spoke to the individual States of the Nation,…

…I also knew by Revelation that the Large Apple,.. Spoke to New York; THE BIG APPLE,…but it also spoke to the Newly Elected Muslim Mayor,….

…Furthermore,…I knew that the Orchard of Fruit Trees spoke…both,..to all Nations but also to the Church….

…There were many layers of Revelation within the dream that began to unfold before me,…

…Then the Spirit of Revelation made known to me that a Time of Great Harvest and Divine Judgement had surely begun within the Orchard of Nations,…

…there was a Divine Inspection and a Weighing in the Balance,…not only of the United States of America,.. but also of all the Nations…

…a Divine Inspection was underway of the Roots/Foundations of Nations….and the Fruits of the Trees/Nations,…and also…of the Global Church and its Leaders that were now being weighed in the Balance,…

…A Time of Divine Separation, Distinction, and Purification had come upon the Orchard….Hearts were being unveiled,…and all that had been hidden and concealed…that which appeared good outwardly,.. but was rotten at the core was being fully revealed and exposed….

…The hour was late, and the final harvest of the season was now underway….

…But then suddenly the dream shifts,…

…Where I was taken into a second dream encounter,.. where I saw the same Apple that had been picked from the tree in the first dream…the Apple infested with worms…

..Was Now,…resting upon the head of a man who was standing against a Tree…

…Now,.. As soon as my eyes saw the apple sitting on the man’s head…

…I heard these Words,…”The Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”,…

…and as I heard those words,……Suddenly, I saw an Archer step forward in the dream….…and In his Left hand was a bow….and I watched as he raised his Right hand and reached behind his head, drawing a sharpened silver arrow from a sheath that was strapped to his back….

…And I watched as he set the silver arrow against the bowstring and He drew the arrow back with immense strength and power…

…I could hear the sound of the string of the bow groaning under the tension,…the sound was sharp and powerful as the Silver arrow was pulled taut in the bow,…

…And in that moment  in the dream,…

…the atmosphere became extremely weighty and I could tangibly feel a sense of great anticipation,…

…and yet I could feel the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord rising in the dream,…

…I watched intently as the Strong Right Arm of the Archer began to move the bow and shift the silver arrow into perfect alignment with the target…which was the Apple sitting upon the man’s head…

…And suddenly I heard these words,…

”WATCH AND PRAY…FOR A DIVINE PREGNANT PAUSE,..A SMALL WINDOW OF TIME GIVEN FOR NATIONS TO RIGHTLY ALIGN WITH HEAVEN’S TIME…

…WATCH!…FOR THE SILVER ARROW OF MY JUDGEMENT AND JUSTICE SHALL BE RELEASED WITH POWER AND PRECISION TO EXPOSE THE HEART OF CORRUPTION AND TO DEAL A DEATH-BLOW TO THE ROOT OF DECEPTION THAT BROUGHT FORTH THE DEFILED FRUIT OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL”…

..And as I heard those words,..I cried out in the dream,…

”MERCY,…MERCY IN THE MIDST OF JUDGEMENT”…

…As I cried out for Mercy,..Mercy,…suddenly I saw the Silver Arrow being released from the Bow,.. and I watched as the Silver Arrow flew through the air with great power,.. accuracy and precision,…

..I watched as the arrow struck the fruit on top of the man’s head,…piercing it through,..

..And In the twinkle of an eye,. .the apple was shattered…fruit fragments scattering,…Nothing of the defiled fruit remained,…the Archers blow was final and absolute,…leaving only the mark of divine Judgment where decay had taken deep root….

…Again,…I knew by Revelation that the Divine Pregnant Pause and the Small Window of Time was a Marked Moment for the Remnant to Rise Up and to Cry out for Mercy in the midst of Judgement,…

…In that moment, as I watched the Silver Arrow Fly,…I knew that the Silver Arrow was in fact God’s Mercy before Final Rot…gave way to full Retribution…

…It was the last act of divine Restraint before Judgment would fall,.. a Holy intervention sent to expose the decay and the rot in the root and the fruit before total destruction could come….!!

…I knew that the Silver arrow spoke to the Redemptive Word of the Lord…sharp, precise, and filled with Kingdom Purpose and Destiny….God’s arrows are not instruments of random Destruction but they are weapons of Surgical Mercy released in the midst of Judgement and Great Harvest,…

…They are Arrows of Awakening Before the Rot of Corruption has time to destroy the Harvest,…He sends forth His Word to pierce and to separate,…to Divide and Conquer,..to Expose Truth from Deception….and Light from Darkness….

…In the Silver arrow which only struck the fruit sitting on the Head (Head – Speaks to Knowledge)…I submit prophetically means that the Arrow of God’s Truth is going forth in this hour to fully Reveal the Rot and to destroy the Counterfeit Covering so that the Nation/s can be spared…

…But if the person/Leader/Nation/State/Church clings to the very thing that the Silver Arrow of God is targeting…; Pride,…False Identity,…Human Knowledge and Deception,…then the Silver arrow becomes the Instrument of Judgment without Restraint..!!

…I submit prophetically that the Lord is speaking that His Rod/Arrow of Correction NOW…is Mercy before Final Rot takes over….; there is a Pregnant Pause and a small Window of Time that stands open over the Nations,…over the Church in which to Align with Heaven’s Time,…

…A Clarion Call for True Repentance…For a Time of Divine Awakening,…Exposure, Purification and Separation has surely begun.. the Hour is Late the Final Time of Judgement and Great Harvest is HERE…!!!

Blessings to you all.

The rise of the Fourth Reich in UK – Revd Chris Wickland (Richard’s Watch goes full circle: 20)

PROLOGUE

WHEELS-within-wheels continue with Revd Christopher’s video message showing events really are happening as outlined 16 years ago in my very first email/blog The Endgame IS Now In Play of 29 February 2009. Therein I write,

‘However, (forbidding prayer for patients in hospital) is just one instance of the growing persecution of believers, principally through a policy supposedly promoting toleration but that’s now a tyrannical tool of intolerance – Equality & Diversity. There are other powers of suppression. Even the previous director of MI5 warns about UK sleep-walking into a police stateRampant lawlessness now exists not only in society but also within legal authorities – laws not approved by Parliament – ‘snoop and snitch’ culture – correction punished and evil behaviour rewarded – ID cards and routine interception of email and phones – etc etc. Clearly, Banking isn’t the only thoroughly corrupt UK institution.’

Several posts herein plus more on my personal Facebook and blog’s Telegram feature on police activity and arrests turning the UK into a fascist farce, and ridiculed across the ‘pond’ at presidential level. AND PM Starmer has digital identity cards in the pipeline!

SO we’re getting Apocalyptic, as in Revelation 13’s Mark of the Beast as I warned about from a personal insight “maSks only one letter away from maRk” (2024 summary).

So, it’s most encouraging that some church leaders have started speaking out….

Please take time to watch this half-hour sermon and I’m grateful to Chris Wickland for kindly providing this summary of the heart of this most serious issue (emphases RB):

THE RISE OF THE FOURTH REICH – Chris Wickland

What I want to talk about today is what I call the rise of the Fourth Reich.

In Nazi Germany, there was the Third Reich. For those who don’t know, “Reich” means kingdom or empire. According to Hitler:

  • The First Reich was the Roman Empire.
  • The Second Reich was Germany in its heyday.
  • The Third Reich was Hitler’s attempt to bring Germany to global prominence, which led to terrible atrocities under the guise of progress and nationalism.

The other night, Tracy and I watched the Bonhoeffer moviePastor, Spy, Assassin.

Watching it gave me chills because I saw parallels in Britain today. Initially, I thought the message was too strong, too much to share. But after recent events, it’s clear this is a time to speak, to challenge what’s happening.

In Bonhoeffer’s day, pastors were arrested for speaking the truth — 800 of them. How many pastors in Britain today would dare to speak the truth? Few, because reputation matters more than the cause of Christ.

A quote from the Daily Telegraph highlights current issues (RB: DT search results):

“The news that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are to be banned from attending Aston Villa’s Europa League match in Birmingham is perhaps the highest-profile example yet of two-tiered policing. This case lays bare an ugly truth about British policing in 2025. The police have chosen to afford different rights to different groups. Israelis—or Jews—have again been relegated to second-class status. Imagine if it involved mainly Muslim supporters—would the outcome have been the same?”

This is happening in our nation. Subtle, clever propaganda is at work. We’re told actions are “for their safety” — a tactic reminiscent of totalitarian control.

Before diving further, let’s ground ourselves in Scripture. Ephesians 5:11 says:

“Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead expose them.”

Every Christian has a responsibility to speak, to act, to stand. To not speak is to speak. To not act is to act. There is no neutrality. You are either for righteousness or for darkness!

The Church is called to be children of the light, shining in this dark hour. Alarmingly, many churches today are doing their best to do nothing.

The Church’s prophetic role is to hold those in power accountable. This is what Bonhoeffer emphasized. If the Church needs to raise her voice, it is NOW!

I witnessed people at a protest in Southampton, hugging me, crying, grateful to see Christians with the courage to stand for truth and defend the nation. Grown adults were moved by someone simply wearing a clerical collar.

Consider the treatment of Jewish people:

  • banned under the guise of “safety,”
  • denied access to events, while governments and institutions remain silent.
  • Last year, London’s largest Christmas market was told to rename itself a “Winter Market” to avoid offending anyone.
  • This is cultural erasure.

It’s also a spiritual war. Cultural Marxism, political correctness, woke ideology—they infiltrate churches and society alike.

Compassion has become a cult, replacing justice and righteousness.

Christians must resist being duped by misleading agendas like Black Lives Matter or pro-Palestinian narratives that, at their core, aim to delegitimize Jews.

Zechariah 12:3 reminds us of the End-times significance of hatred against Jews:

“…all who lift it [Jerusalem] will be severely injured, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.”

We see a subtle global hatred for Jews, often hidden behind terms like “anti-Zionist.” Yet Zionism simply affirms Jews’ right to their homeland. To oppose that is to oppose them.

The Church must not stay silent.

Many denominations today, including state churches and evangelicals, have taken pro-Palestinian stances. Some even forbid praying for Israel.

Those who remain quiet or complicit are aiding a cultural agenda reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

Matthew 5:13-16 teaches:

“You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden… Let your light shine before men…”

Churches have lost their saltiness. Many fear offending or being labeled extremist, prioritizing reputation over obedience. Yet Jesus called us to take up our cross daily, to live sacrificially, and to let our light shine.

History shows that Hitler promised the Church safety if it stayed out of politics. Today, Christians are told the same. But Scripture calls us to influence the world for God’s Kingdom — to be yeast in the dough, salt in the wounds, light in the darkness.

Who do we serve? The Jewishness of Jesus is suppressed in our churches. He is not a “nice white hippie”; He is the Jewish Messiah, and He will reign from Israel. Hatred of Israel or Jews is incompatible with serving Christ.

Acts 5:29:

“We must obey God rather than man.”

Romans 13 teaches submission to authority — but only when it aligns with God’s will. When governments contradict Scripture, Christians must stand for God, not man. [RB note verse 4 – governments are to act against – NOT promote and practice – evil.]

Christianity today faces persecution—sometimes subtle, sometimes overt. Those who speak truth are labeled fascists, Nazis, or racist. Yet those truly operating in that spirit are often anti-Semitic, woke, or culturally Marxist—mirroring the Church of the Third Reich.

Faith without action is dead. Silence in the face of evil is complicity. Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned:

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless.”

This is the defining hour: light or darkness, truth or compromise. The Church must stand, proclaim righteousness, and resist the rise of the Fourth Reich in our time.

Amen.

PS to The Kingdom, churches and politics…

A long-time subscriber and friend Elaine Venning makes this noteworthy contribution to The Kingdom, churches and politics: Professor Lennox addresses Parliament and it is strongly suggestive of the Lord’s interest and input:

Dear Richard

This is timely – following on from dear Veronika’s plea for the church to get her head and therefore identity, out of Delilah’s lap before she finds herself shaved and led into captivity.

Timely in your reference to Magna Carta as in the North at Durham Cathedral there has been a very good highlighting of Magna Carta for much of the year, as they celebrate the 800th anniversary of its definitive version, willingly signed by John’s son Henry III on turning 18 and therefore assuming the governance that for the previous 9 years had been in the hands of his guardians. The document was never changed after this version became law and it was added to the statute book in 1297.

Durham Cathedral / Events – Magna Carta and the North

In the chapter house the Cathedral have set up 5 large prayer stations with the following topics all taken from Magna Carta –

  • Accountability of Leaders;
  • Equal Access to Justice;
  • Equality before the Law;
  • Defence of the Vulnerable;
  • Sanctity of Life… I suggest these are all highly relevant today.

The then Archbishop Stephen Langton played a key role in stewarding this and helping to uphold it. Would to God the C of E could see its opportunity. Durham is a vacancy in See after Bishop Paul retired earlier this year.

There will have been a considerable number of people who have had access to this exhibition

Am tempted to email Danny Kruger and suggest Reform take up the cry of Magna Carta. It was document born in political crisis.

Shalom, love and prayer
Elaine

I respond, ‘LOL Elaine, The video was recommended on our men’s Bible breakfast group as we’d chatted about church staying out of politics, with which I disagree! SO thinking of posting it I got nudged to refer to Magna Carta and you bring the Lord’s confirming it. Don’t you just love His God-incidents.’

The Kingdom, churches and politics: Professor Lennox addresses Parliament

‘UNITE THE KINGDOM’

I’ve been considering Britain’s seriously fallen state and the apparent abdication of church leaders to take a stand over applying Christian principles on behalf of our nation – but some even denigrated those who took part in the momentous march in London on 13th September calling to ‘Unite the Kingdom’!

BACK TO BASICS

So, what does Jesus say about nations, or people groups, and His Father’s Kingdom and how to govern them?

BibleGateway has 365 references (a daily dose!) in the New King James Version of the Bible, of which 155 are in the New Testament and I’m particularly interested in Jesus instructing His first disciples to use this model prayer (Matthew 6.9-13) and its later application:

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

After His Resurrection and prior to His Ascension to heaven they were instructed as follows (Matthew 28:18-20):

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Thus, the Great Commission entails telling not-yet believers in all people groups about Jesus, baptising them into Father’s Kingdom and teaching them its values and to apply them as the ideal way to live together in harmony: that is, how to govern themselves by Godly political principles!

PARLIAMENTARY ADDRESS

I recall that when covering the 808th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta one of the postings refers to the Biblical foundation to governing of our nation having been laid by King Alfred the Great.

808th anniversary of the Magna Carta – or should it be 1,408th?

Now, over to Professor John Lennox, as broadcast by Christians in Parliament:

Heretical Church of England expelled from global Anglicans

REPRISE:

In 2017 Revd William Smith and I asked Rebels? In Church? Just Who’s Rebelling? and my recent End-Times Briefing 23 was the latest on apostasy within the Church of England.

Now at last, this weekend saw GAFCON’s announcement severing communion with heretical Canterbury: a cutting off, separation and coming out of false teaching.

‘The Gafcon movement of orthodox Anglicans is forging its own path away from the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury with the launch of the Global Anglican Communion.

It will be distinct from the worldwide Anglican Communion that is under the spiritual leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury and which recognises other Institutes of Communion like the Lambeth Conference, the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC), and the Primates’ Meeting of senior archbishops.

Unveiling its plans on Thursday, Gafcon said its intention was to “reorder” the Anglican Communion with only the Bible as its foundation. It will not recognise the Archbishop of Canterbury or other Institutes of Communion. 

“We cannot continue to have communion with those who advocate the revisionist agenda, which has abandoned the inerrant word of God as the final authority and overturned Resolution I.10, of the 1998 Lambeth Conference,” said the Most Rev Dr Laurent Mbanda, Chairman of the Gafcon Primates’ Council, and Primate of Rwanda. 

“Therefore, Gafcon has re-ordered the Anglican Communion by restoring its original structure as a fellowship of autonomous provinces bound together by the Formularies of the Reformation, as reflected at the first Lambeth Conference in 1867, and we are now the Global Anglican Communion...’  (continue emphases mine).

Their Communique begins (underscoring added, emboldening by Gafcon,):

‘To our dear Anglican brothers and sisters in Christ. Grace and peace to you in the name of our risen Lord Jesus Christ, on the Commemoration of the martyrdom of Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley.

The first Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) gathered in 2008 in Jerusalem to prayerfully respond to the abandonment of the Scriptures by some of the most senior leaders of the Anglican Communion, and to seek their repentance.

In the absence of such repentancewe have been prayerfully advancing towards a future for faithful Anglicans, where the Bible is restored to the heart of the Communion.

Today, that future has arrived.

Our Gafcon Primates gathered this hour to fulfil our mandate to reform the Anglican Communion, as expressed in the Jerusalem Statement of 2008….’ (continue reading)

End-times Briefing 25: disposing of ‘Rapture ritual’ – Andrew Whalen

First, a reminder of my perspective on End-times as blogged on 23rd February 2023:

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

Then four weeks later:

OCCUPY NOW! DOUBLY RE-ITERATED BY THE LORD!!

One of my Canadian friends emailed me yesterday about a prophetic insight of which I was aware on Andrew Whalen’s Facebook, viz: (LOL here’s my ’22’ again!)

“I don’t want to overshare everything that I ‘hear’ or get from the Lord.. and so I don’t want to fatigue people with that.. or make it seem like I know it all — I certainly do not!!

But the following is something that came strongly today, and although controversial in the church world, I believe the Lord is looking to address this more than ever now! (Especially in light of the rapture predictions that just keep popping up over and over and steal our energy, focus, and mission— roll the eyes)

I’m going to share what I ‘received’ and some of my thoughts.. weigh it for sure, and its ok if not all agree,— but at least we can start having some conversations.

Today I was driving and I heard:

“The ‘end times’ is a phrase that was hijacked by the enemy, who through nefarious channels of infiltration, charged and infused the phrase with lies, gnostic fallacy, distorted paradigms, injected meanings and understandings that intentionally frames our reality towards an agenda directed by darkness. — Now whenever the church uses the phrase ‘end times’ they enter into the power of that ritual.

Its ultimate effect is the negation of the original charter of the Ekklesia, To posses the gates of our enemies.”

My additional thoughts are as follows:

There needs to be a recovery of what the full counsel of God is through scripture on the actual meaning of End -Times’ / the Last days, but to do so means we also have to understand there was indeed intentional occult programming around it- and we must dissect the Holy from the profane!

I believe the consequences of entering the ‘end times ritual’, keeps us focused on escape instead of expansion. We surrender our inheritance of the earth to the devil. We give our keys away that were given to re-establish edenic ‘authority’.

When we enter the ‘end times ritual’, we abdicate our responsibility to overcome evil with good. It minimizes the Abrahamic covenant to an etherial world only realized after we leave the Earth. It disengages the Lord’s call to make disciples of nations.

It makes futile the call to be salt and light for the purpose of societal transformation. It allows evil to increase because that is the frame of expectation. Escape to heaven becomes our constant obsession, instead of the explicit aim of the Lord’s prayer to advance heaven on Earth. Etc. Etc.

Controversial? Certainly! – But some worthwhile food for thought.”

Canadian Paul Morris writes about Andrew’s preceding points:
“I am quite familiar with Andrew Whalen and his ministry. He shared this word recently and stated it should be taken to the HS and weighed – which is what Paul was told to write to the Thessalonians “prove all things hold fast to that which is good”.

It’s been almost 10 yr since HS started revamping my “theology” that had been ingrained from years of being taught in churches of various evangelical denominations. I have listened as to this topic, to some ministers who’ve also had their view on this changed, such as Rebz Marcelo, Johnny Enlow, Diana Larkin, and others.

HS has been asking them to do what He had me do in teaching others, and sharing with others, which is to challenge errant theologies, in order to wake the believers to the commission they’re called to – which is to arise and do the works Jesus did while incarnate, through the power of the HS – as the verse says “for this the Son of God was manifested, to destroy the works of the devil”. He said before ascending that all authority in heaven and earth was given Him, then He bequeathed it to us His believers, telling us to go into all the world , preach the gospel, cleanse the lepers, heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons, freely we’ve received freely give.

We’re told that the same Spirit that empowered His earthly ministry, and raised Him from the dead dwells in us to empower us to do what He commanded. For 200 years since Darby then Scofield promoted the theory of “rapture” as He told Andrew in this word, the enemy has largely side-lined and negated the ekklesia from the mission they’re called to do.”

End-times Briefing 24: Bible prophecy on Catholic apostasy

Briefing 23 cites 2Thessalonians 2.3 and 1Timothy 4.1 on the prophesied falling away from faith and foundational Christian tenets, and reports on heretical teaching within the Anglican communion and the new Archbishop of Canterbury’s very dubious stance.

Now, we consider the apostasy within the Roman Catholic church as reported by the former Papal Legate to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, whom the late Argentinian pope excommunicated for strongly denouncing his heresy.

This blog and The Gateway Pundit have frequently featured his excellent articles, as here and here respectively; and here’s the latter’s latest on the new American pope.

MUST READ… Archbishop Viganò: Vatican’s Globalist Alliance — Bergoglio and Prevost Push “Replacement Migration” to Erase Western Christian Civilization

The Archbishop opens his guest post as follows::

‘Jorge Bergoglio’s monomaniacal obsession with indiscriminate immigration and miscegenation finds a zealous proponent in Robert Prevost.

The handover did not represent any radical change, either doctrinally or morally, or politically or socially. The conciliar-synodal Church is and remains the “Ancilla Novi Ordinis”, the courtesan of the globalist elite.

We know well that the migratory phenomenon is not spontaneous: it is not caused by famine, war, or religious persecution.

Instead, it was desired and planned as a means of destabilizing Western nations, and illegal immigration is used as an instrument of social subversion. This is stated in a United Nations document of March 21, 2000, entitled “Replacement Migration.” (continue reading his stern rebukes)

In TGP’s coverage we find superb White House Press Secretary, a Christian, rebuking this pope:

Karoline Leavitt Fires Back After Pope Leo XIV’s Thinly Veiled Swipe at Trump on Immigration

Moreover, a couple of days later on 11th October the Archbishop summarises in his ‘X files’ (!) seven decades of what he ardently regards is heresy within the Roman Church:

He writes,

‘Sixty-three years ago, on this day, the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council was solemnly opened, the first “council” of the church that takes its name from it – the “conciliar church” in fact.

– It was a “council” because it sought to “reconcile” God and the world, Christ and Belial, truth and falsehood, good and evil.

– It was “ecumenical” because it sought to legitimize interreligious dialogue, which the Roman Catholic Church had solemnly condemned.

– It called itself “second” to make people believe that it was in continuity with the perennial Catholic Magisterium, so that it could adulterate it by usurping the Authority of the Church and of the Roman Pontiff.

– It laid the pseudo-doctrinal foundations of today’s “synodal church,” which aims to subvert the hierarchical constitution of the Church and the Papacy.

Those who consciously adhere to this “council” are responsible for the demolition of the Catholic Church and ratify the conciliar and synodal coup with their complicity.’

This is ‘by-the-by’ for those adhering to the New Testament concept of the priesthood of all believers under the oversight of Biblically qualified leadership.

End-times Briefing 23: Bible prophecy on Anglican apostasy

About 1975 years ago in writing to the early church in Thessalonica, Apostle Paul draws his letter to a close by referring to ‘the Day of the Lord’ and in a follow-up he goes into further detail about Jesus’ expected return.

The second chapter of his second letter refers to a particularly startling indicator of the wider Church’s failure in the faith and implicit lack of holiness and obedience to Jesus, as expanded upon in the Amplified Bible, wherein the third verse reads:

‘Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the [a]apostasy comes first [unless the predicted great [b]falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come], and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition),…’
[Note a,b – A possible rendering of the Greek ‘apostasia’ is “departure [of the church”].

Paul returns to that perplexing topic about 10-15 years later and prophesies in his first letter to Timothy (chapter 4)

‘But the [Holy] Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in latter times some will turn away from the faith, giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach, Through the hypocrisy and pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared (cauterized)…’

Other than citing holy writ and the essential principles of spiritual headship and thus accountability, especially vital in deliverance ministry, this blog has covered this matter from a newsworthy angle under #Apostasy tag. So the following items are offered for my readers’ consideration:

Revd Brett’s timeline > https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069715806030

Here is fellow watcher John Barber’s even-handed analysis of the ‘pros and cons’:

The CofE has a new archbishop

A few extracts:

‘Perhaps, one of the most significant things (upon reflection, and not surprisingly) coming out of this announcement, in terms of how different Christians, especially those in leadership positions, reacted, is that in the main those in the negative camp seemed to be in agreement with many of the views that I have long been posting on my Facebook page and blogs concerning some of the important, significant things happening in the UK and beyond, and those, in the main, in the positive camp taking an opposite view. It confirmed to me that not only is the nation divided but so is the church.’

‘Obviously, not being an Anglican and coming from a very Low Church camp, I am not going to agree with all that Father Calvin said, but I agree with much of it. While I agree that leadership in churches, especially when it comes to exercising authority over men, should be male, the only priesthood I recognize is that of all believers.

Not mentioned but something what really sealed it for me, in coming to a view, was reading a post by one of my detracting Facebook friends including a video clip of Sarah Mullally’s telling us back in the days of the Covid scamdemic that it was our Christian duty to take the jab (see here). Another powerful video highlighting the concerns of those who think a wrong choice was made with this appointment making several damming indictments, including her pro-choice stance on the matter of abortion and her supporting or allowing LBGTQ+ ideology to prevail, including the brainwashing of our children over transgenderism (see here).’

GOD-INCIDENCE

Whilst writing I’m called to join my wife watching the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem’s celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles with David Parsons speaking on the Lord’s calling all nations towards Jerusalem and thereby encouraging the Jews to look forward to their Messiah Jesus’s return. This was broadcast yesterday morning

The main scriptures David cites are Zechariah but I note his emphasis upon the ‘NOW’ of prophecies and that this was only hours before the most welcome announcement of a cease-fire in Gaza.

SO Isaiah 66’s reference to the ‘last days’ and Jerusalem are most apposite:

SELAH!

Here’s an excellent past and current historical summary of the Trump Administration, thus making a most suitable Part 12 to this series. According to Bible Study,

The number 12 is one of the foundations of Scripture. The meaning of 12 is that it symbolizes God’s power and authority, as well as serving as a perfect governmental foundation. It can also symbolize completeness or the nation of Israel as a whole.’

Faith in the Current Administration: The Most Openly Christian Administration in 200 Years

Dr. Antonio Graceffo, PhD, China MBA, economist and national security analyst with a focus on China and Russia, as well as graduate of American Military University writes.

‘The Trump administration is arguably the most openly Christian and pro-religious administration since the era of the founding fathers. While past presidents such as Jimmy Carter openly spoke of their faith and Ronald Reagan called for prayer in schools, no modern administration has gone as far in defending and advancing religious liberty.

Trump has restored protections for Christians, especially Catholics who faced persecution under the Biden administration. He has also enacted policies that strengthen the Christian values on which the nation was founded. Furthermore, his administration includes an unprecedented number of openly practicing Christians at the highest levels of government, making faith a defining feature of national leadership.

Among the many steps taken to protect Christians, and specifically Catholics who were persecuted under President Biden, Trump has enacted sweeping measures to restore religious liberty. He created the first-ever White House Faith Office in the West Wing, appointed faith liaisons across federal agencies, and established a Religious Liberty Commission...continue reading here.

God’s glory going from a Tabernacle to stadiums – another personal confirmation

LOL, what I didn’t mention about my brief chat with Veronika West earlier today about my days at the church we had in common near Reading, Berkshire, was another ‘side-issue’ – or so I thought. I mentioned I’d said to the pastor, when he referred to speaking at Reading Football Club as its chaplain, something along the lines of:

“I expect we’ll see stadiums filled for church meetings!”

Now, look at what our dear sister has posted around midday, not only about stadiums filled for Revival but also at the time I saw it, again there’s my birthday ‘22 comments’!

Furthermore, only now do I note we’ve double-22 once again (’44m’), as ‘God-incidental’ proof of content:

Veronika writes on Facebook:

…A Powerful Prophetic Foreshadow…

….From God’s Tabernacle in the Wilderness to Glory Revivals in Stadiums…!!

…. Ha! Ok… Some of you might call me crazy,…but as I prayed over what I saw, the Holy Spirit gave me the green light to release it….

…Recently, while I was watching Charlie Kirk’s Memorial unfold inside that massive stadium in Arizona, something happened….

..Suddenly, the Spirit of Revelation started to show me something profound,…and my eyes were drawn straight to the center of the stadium, and in that moment,…the Lord began to highlight a powerful and prophetic parallel….

…See Pictures ABOVE;

…I heard the Spirit say,…”Daughter Look..,Do you see it?”

…And Suddenly it was quickened to me that stadium itself was being shown to me as a powerful prophetic picture of the Tabernacle….

…As soon as I saw it,…I couldn’t un-see it…

….From the moment I saw it,..

What began to unfold before me as I watched,…was more than just a Memorial and a Celebration of a Martyr’s death,…but a Glorious Sign of what we are going to see God begin to do in the Days ahead…

….The Tabernacle Then and What I See God doing Now…
….In the wilderness,…the Tabernacle was not simply a tent of meeting,…it was the very Dwelling place of God’s Glory….

…We know that Every Tribe encamped around it,..Life,…Order, and Worship all revolved around the Glorious Presence of God…

…As I looked at the Stadium,…

…I heard the Spirit say,…”Watch For I desire to dwell among you….I want to meet you face to face”….!!

…And as I heard those words…and as I kept Looking at that Beautiful Big Stadium packed with people,…the Spirit of Lord spoke again to me,…

Saying,…”Watch,…For I am building Tabernacles not of wood or gold,…but of Living Stones….Watch and Pray…For My People will Arise…And Multitudes will Gather,…and Stadiums will be filled with My Glory and My Power”…!!

….Watch as these two Prophetic Parallels begin to Unfold…
….Just as the entire Nation of Israel gathered at the Tabernacle in the wilderness,…so I See,…God drawing multitudes to stadiums across the Nations of the Earth….

….These Stadiums, once built purely for Worldly Entertainment and Sporting Events,…are going to be transformed into runways and landing strips for the Glory of God to Come….Some will even be fully repurposed as Sanctuaries,…Holy dwelling places where His Presence will Rest and His power will move mightily….

….I saw that what was once a field of competition and worldly celebration will become a Holy ground of Supernatural Encounters,…Signs,…Wonders and Miracles never seen before…!!!

….Friends,…What began as a Memorial service, I believe has already begun to create a Powerful Mega-Shift in the realm of the Spirit that will see begin to unfold in the Days to come…!

…God is going to Turn Gatherings into A New Kingdom Movements….Just as the Tabernacle stood as a witness of God’s Presence in the wilderness,…I was shown by the Spirit of Revelation that Stadium events will stand as testimonies of His Power and Glory to the Nations….

…These Events will become powerful Prophetic signs of the Spirit of the Lord Reclaiming and Reforming the public square for His Glory….and unto a GREAT HARVEST OF SOULS…!!!

…I also saw Glory Revivals filling these Stadiums,…not as Church-like services which are marked by eloquent sermons or by music that sounds more like secular songs than true Worship unto God,…

…but rather,…I Saw Tsunami Waves of Glory Coming,…and Wave after wave after wave, of the manifest Glory of Gods Presence breaking forth among and upon the people….A Mighty Outpouring of Fire and Oil….

…An Unquenchable Fire of Glory that will descend upon all the people,…and then,..I saw entire sections of Crowds that were gathered being swept up and into Supernatural Deliverance, Healing, and Salvation….

…I saw stadiums becoming Marked places of Divine Habitation,…sites of Glorious Outpourings where Holy encounters with God’s glory will break open…and from these Gatherings,…the very atmosphere over Cities, Regions, and even Nations will be transformed and Reformed by the weight of His Glorious Presence….

…Then,….I saw that just as sacrifices were continually laid upon the Altar at the Tabernacle,…the Spirit showed me that modern Stadiums will become Altars where lives are surrendered and yielded to the Presence of God en-masse….

….Ha!!!! I Saw Multitudes that will flood the aisles, many I saw falling to their knees,…surrendering their lives to Christ….Sons and daughters, prodigals and Church Leaders alike will lay themselves down before the Lord as Living Sacrifices and THEN THE FIRE WILL FALL AS IT DID AT THE ALTAR OF ELIJAH AND THEN THE RAIN OF RESTORATION WILL FALL AS THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS TURN BACK TO THE CHILDREN AND THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN TURN BACK TO THE FATHERS….

….It will be the Altar Call of the Nations, a Great and visible Awakening and Harvest will be seen by the Eyes of all Nations…!!!!

….Listen,..I hear….”An Invitation to Tabernacle with the Presence of the Lord in this Hour”…!!!

…Saints,….I hear the Spirit of the Lord,…

….Yes!!…I hear Heaven issuing an Invitation in this hour…”Come, Come…Come and Tabernacle with Me in this Hour”….

….There is such a weight of the Glory roundabout me even as I sit and write the Word,…

….This is more than an Invitation, it is about Hearing the Clarion Call to Step into a Living Encounter with His Presence….

…I hear the Spirit say,…”GET READY….FOR MY GLORY IS LOOKING FOR A RESTING PLACE”…!!!

….And Just as Moses entered the Cloud of Glory,…

….I hear the Spirit of the Lord calling His People to Move from the Outer Courts into the Holy of Holies…into the Place of Divine Intimacy and Supernatural Encounter….

…I submit,…that Charlie Kirk’s Memorial is more than a prophetic picture or even a prophetic sign,…but it is a powerful Prophetic Foreshadowing of a Coming Global Awakening,…a Glory Invasion and a Great Harvest of Souls,…

…I hear the Spirit say,…”Watch and Pray,…For I am filling My House with Glory….I am calling My people to Gather,…and I am pouring out My Spirit on all flesh”..!

…Get Ready Remnant,….We are standing on the threshold of a Glory Revival and a Glory Invasion where stadiums will not be enough to contain what God is about to do….

….The Harvest is ready….the Multitudes are coming…

The Spirit says,….”Watch for I am Tabernacling with My people again….I will Dwell in the midst of their Gatherings,…,and My glory shall be seen by the eyes of All Nations,…

….Yes!…As in the Wilderness, My Glory and Presence shall go before them,…and My All Consuming Fire shall rest upon them….

….For I tell you,…This is the hour of My dwelling,…the hour of My Glory,…the hour of Divine Invitation to Come and Tabernacle with Me”…!!!!

Blessings to you all.

Birth of a new ‘Acts’ Church Era is upon us – recall personal 30 years-old vision

WOW! I had in mind to post about weekend news fulfilling prophecies BUT first saw this soon after Veronika West posted it on Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook > am amazed!!

I comment therein about her closing words relating to one of the earliest open visions I’d had,

WOW, “Stones of My choosing” – wotta wonderful reminder of what I saw about 30 years ago in house group of each person as jewelled stones set within the Lord’s throne!”

To which Veronika responds, “YES!!! I shared an emphasis on that very aspect of the word. “THE STONES OF MY CHOOSING”…the Living Stones are Rising and will be used to bring forth a Mighty Dismantling to every demonic stronghold.” (RB: see PS below and next post)

Also, I mention it happened in the Pangbourne group of Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist), which she attended after I’d moved away to marry Nina 23 years ago last week and as prophecy team leader to pastor Yinka Oyekan, who renamed TFC ‘The Gate’.

Here’s what Veronika heard:

THE BIRTHING OF A NEW ACTS CHURCH ERA IS UPON YOU!

As Ireland’s Destiny Hub met on Saturday 27th September 2025, The LORD had me release the following Word.

This Word came on the back of another Powerful Prophetic Word which The LORD spoke concerning “A New Golden Era That Will Be Birthed in Fire!”

https://www.hiskingdomprophecy.com/his-new-golden-era-will-be-birthed-in-fire/

THE BIRTHING OF A NEW ACTS CHURCH ERA IS UPON YOU!

‘This Open Vision came on Friday 26th September 2025.

The Birthing of a New Acts Church Era is Upon You!

Okay… so I was out driving and going about my day, when The Holy Spirit suddenly spoke and I heard Him say, “Daughter watch — for the Birthing of a New Acts Church Era is upon you!”

As soon as I heard those Words, suddenly I was taken into an Open Vision, wherein I saw a powerful mighty Rushing Wind of the Spirit begin to come forth from the deeper realms of Glory — a mighty Rushing Wind, filled with Tongues of Fire.

As I looked within the mighty Rushing Winds filled with Tongues of Fire, suddenly I saw piercing eyes within the mighty Rushing Winds.

Then I heard these Words saying, ”Tongues of Fire shall speak forth My Power, and the Eyes of My Seven Spirits shall bring forth greater Vision, Revelation and a great unveiling of the hidden Mysteries and Secrets of My Glory.
For even now, the Winds of My Spirit are stirring in the unseen realms! I AM brooding over The Nations, for the birthing of a New Acts Church Era is at hand!
That which was hidden, shall now be revealed, and that which was delayed, shall now be accelerated!
I AM the same God of The Upper Room — and once again My People shall gather, not in the power of the flesh, but in Unity, Purity and the Power of My Spirit.
Watch! For The Winds and The Fires shall move together! The Seven Eyes of My Spirit shall search the earth to and fro, and I shall ignite a company who will not fear The Flames, nor shrink back from the storms.
I AM releasing Tongues of Fire upon the lips of My Prophets, Prophetic Intercessors, and My Faithful Watchmen!
They shall declare mysteries, and release Decrees that shatter the powers of darkness.
Their Words will carry My Breath — and their Sight will pierce the veils that have covered Nations.
The Church that I AM birthing in this hour shall be a Church of Acts — a Mighty Radical Remnant of Action — a Remnant of Demonstrative Power — a Remnant of Unshakable Courage and Devotion!
Many will look and say, ‘This is not the Church we have known,’ for I AM tearing down the scaffolding of man’s agendas and empire building with the Stones of My choosing!
Prepare! Prepare! For My Winds and My Fires will not be contained in your structures, nor limited by your man-made traditions.
Those who yield shall carry the weight of My Glory, and those who resist shall be bypassed as I move swiftly,” says the Spirit of God.

Blessings to you all.

PS. (30 Sept) The above was prepped during the morning and I don’t mention drawing Veronika’s attention to another prophetic point over 30 years ago…BUT LO & BEHOLD, later in the afternoon I find the Lord has wonderfully expanded upon its coming to pass; as in the next post! (click link to read).

Next, the Bible’s Author shows me ex-New Agers’ testimonies

The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in Whom we have our redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. [St Paul’s letter to the Colossians 1:13-14, Amplified Bible.]

To continue the next part of my testimony upon my 36th spiritual birthday:

As well as checking out Christians’ claims of hearing God direct and getting astounding personal evidence for that, I wanted to know lots more not only about Him, but also and especially to follow-up on the personally revelatory scriptures about false teachers.

In my great wariness of religious folk I’d assumed none would be able to comprehend my story because they’d be ignorant about those things. Doubtless, none would have been through my kind of bad, meditative ‘trips’ – or so I thought!

But direct help was again at hand from the Bible’s Author…Yet first, there’s one little-suspected aspect of His character that amazingly revealed a very personal thought and thus confirmed He knows all about me. Here’s what had happened many years earlier.: Continue reading

1 day later, Clinton’s attack upon Christianity validates prophecy

Around midday, as though inspired by yesterday’s prophetic word on the Jezebelic spirit of assassination received by Veronika West, we have this validation on Facebook

Jonathan writes (emphases mine),

Hillary Clinton’s MSNBC Tirade: Demonizing White Christians Just Weeks After Charlie Kirk’s Assassination
By Jonathan Gregory, Washington, D.C. – September 25, 2025

‘In a chilling display of unrepentant bigotry, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” this week, unleashing a venomous attack on white Christian men, declaring they are “doing such damage” to the United States.

Just two weeks after the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk,.the fearless conservative leader, devoted husband, and champion of Judeo-Christian values. Clinton’s words cut like a knife, implying that men like Kirk, who preached family, faith, and freedom, are the root of America’s woes. “The idea you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was, dominated by, let’s say it! White men of a certain persuasion, certain religion, certain ideology,” she sneered, leaving no doubt she was targeting Christianity itself as the enemy.

This isn’t mere rhetoric; it’s a direct echo of the hatred that fuelled Kirk’s murder on September 10 at Utah Valley University, where a far-left assassin gunned him down for daring to stand for biblical truth in a godless age. President Trump, who honored Kirk with a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom, rightly called him a “legendary” voice for America’s youth, yet Clinton’s MSNBC platform proves the left’s war on faith rages on, stoking racial flames and inciting violence against those who dare to love Jesus and country.

Clinton’s psychopathic fantasy of silencing dissent, boasting she’d call the FCC to “take this person off the air” or cry “off with his head!”, isn’t hyperbole; it’s a blueprint for the tyranny her side craves, all while turning off replies on her posts to dodge accountability.

By painting white Christians as the architects of division, she’s not just denouncing Jesus and His followers; she’s anointing Satan as the hero of her twisted narrative, proving the Democratic movement is profoundly anti-family, anti-faith, and pro-chaos.

Kirk, a man of God who built Turning Point USA into a beacon for young patriots, was assassinated for embodying the very values Clinton mocks, preaching life, liberty, and love for neighbor.

Her timing couldn’t be more diabolical, reminding us that the left’s “tolerance” is a lie; they celebrate the murder of a Christian warrior while weeping crocodile tears for unity.

This is the same crowd that funds drag queen story hours for toddlers and cheers abortion up to birth, now openly warring against the white men and Christians who built the greatest nation on earth. As voices on X explode in outrage, tagging Clinton for her bigotry, it’s clear; her MSNBC echo chamber is a Satanic pulpit, pushing anti-American poison that divides by race and religion.

Enough is enough, the left’s evil escalates by the day, from Kirk’s cold blooded killing to Clinton’s call for a cultural purge, proving they’re not just dangerous, but existentially threatening to our republic.

President Trump, the unyielding defender of faith and family, stands as the antidote; a leader who’ll protect our borders, our churches, and our God given rights from this godless onslaught. We must vote out every Democrat complicit in this racial war and Christian crusade, sweeping MSNBC’s propagandists into the dustbin of history alongside Clinton’s failed ambitions. Kirk’s legacy demands it, America’s survival depends on it. Rise up, patriots: for Trump, for Jesus, for the soul of our nation!

A Nation Without God – Neil Mackereth

A NATION WITHOUT GOD

“From this time many of His disciples turned back and no longer followed Him” (John 6:66 – significant chapter and verse number; co-incidence or God-incidence?)

A NATION DIVIDED

As a nation, we have turned our back on the Lord God Almighty and forsaken Him: the dire consequences of our actions are upon us.

A clear and distressing separation is taking place in our nation. The divides of the past: class distinctions, haves and have nots, north and south, etc., are fading into insignificance when compared with the growing chasm that exists between left-wing and right-wing opinions.

Jesus said: “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand” (Matthew 12:25). Our country has all the hallmarks of a deeply divided nation on the brink of civil war.

THE CHURCH DIVIDED

Many “Christians” are no longer following the Word of God and have aligned themselves with causes that they have neither researched nor understood.

They continue to espouse their belief in God, but have lost sight of Jesus.

Others believe the church has replaced Israel in God’s favour and the Jews are, therefore, no longer significant in God’s redemptive plan for mankind.

To my mind, the whole of scripture relates to the significance of the descendants of Abraham and his offspring through Isaac (if not, how can the 144,000 Jews sealed by God in Revelation 7, and seen standing with Jesus on Mt Zion in Revelation 14, be explained?).

Are we standing with Jesus as the world turns against Him and His brethren, God’s chosen people Israel? Or are we taking the much easier position of siding with the world? The latter option is pragmatic, comfortable, and may well, in the short term, shield people from hatred and abuse.

I tell you the truth: Satan is desperately endeavouring to thwart God’s plans for mankind, because he believes that if he succeeds, he will prove God wrong and save himself from eternal damnation in the lake of burning sulphur (Revelation 20:10). If we take the easy option for short term gain, we too will be on course for eternal damnation.

FAITH

We are now being tested on whether the life of Jesus in us is the dominating influence in our being, or whether self-interest takes pride of place. Are we loyal and fully committed to honouring Jesus in all that we do and say?

In 2 Corinthians 11:16-33 Paul gives a comprehensive description of the abuse, persecution, pain and suffering that may ensue, for those who fully commit to following Jesus. Life for devoted Christians is already appallingly difficult in many parts of the world, and it is going to get much harder here.

It is prophesied that a time of great tribulation is coming. How will we react when facing the possibility of unmitigated suffering, even unto death? Jesus says we should never be afraid, but rather we should rest in perfect confidence in Him. I find that a huge challenge; panic is often my first reaction to a crisis. I reason that God must be asleep in the boat and that He cannot have recognised that we are about to be engulfed by the storm (Matthew 8:24,25).

Nevertheless, I know that Jesus expects His followers to be the steadfast and reliable ones in any calamity. It is essential to keep our focus on Jesus in every circumstance, and to remember that it is our place in eternity that is at stake. Sudden unexpected disasters always reveal on what or on whom we rely. Now more than ever, it is essential that we train our minds so that when catastrophe strikes, we immediately turn to Jesus for help.

CONCLUSION

A time of great tribulation draws near – the signs of division in the church, in our nation and in the world are very evident. We are on the brink of a massive upheaval. Even so, we are to look beyond the imminent chaos and turmoil to the glorious return of our saviour Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords.

What is a truly amazing (supernatural) is that, in Bible prophecy, God has told us exactly what to expect. The events we are witnessing are no surprise to Him!

In what little time we have, it is imperative that we worship God, study the Word and seek to be blameless in His sight. Pray for wisdom and discernment, and to be a tower of strength and encouragement to others.

Jesus will return: Victory is assured: Hallelujah!

PS (16:12)

The Bible’s Author answers a new believer’s questions direct!

REPRISE of part of my testimonial Jesus Freed Me, republished on my birthday:

Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus,For I always pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him by having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), and [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when raising Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], far above all rule and authority and power dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come…. [Eph1:17-21, Amplified Bible. We decree that the blindness be removed from the eyes of all the peoples of this land so they may see Jesus Christ is Lord.]

IN CELEBRATING MY 36th SPIRITUAL BIRTHDAY I THANK GOD FOR MY EARTHLY AND ETERNAL LIVES

Lord, help me love everyone, even wrongdoers, with Your awesome, gracious undying love

Life-changing as my ‘rescue’ was in that dream-visitation on 14th September 1989, I did not want to rush off to church. The event’s effect and ramifications upon my philosophy of life needed careful consideration. For example, I needed to check out widespread claims of the Bible having been compiled and modified by Church councils in the 4th Century after Christ, as well as learn about its history from authoritative sources. [Prof F.F. Bruce’s The Books and The Parchments (1991) was very helpful, especially about the ‘Muratorian Fragment’. Drawn up in late 2nd Century in the church at Rome, it lists practically all the canonical New Testament literature.]

So not only did I need to assess those personal implications, but also as possibly a new believer in Jesus Christ I wanted to find well-informed believers who take Him seriously. I soon did so, but then needed to put their claims of hearing direct from God to the test. After all, they believe we have a relationship with Him and so we have but to ask… Continue reading

CHURCH LEADERS, it’s time to stand for the Gospel and save the UK – Christopher Wickland

Christopher Wickland posted on his Facebook today:

I believe we are at a precipice — a Rubicon moment. I say this to the church leaders of the United Kingdom: you need to understand what is going on right now. It’s finally reaching boiling point and something’s got to give. The gospel is the only thing that will save this nation from its own demise, but that will mean church leaders must stand up and say things that are not popular. They will have to do things that many will misunderstand. It means being politically incorrect. It means risking persecution, marginalisation, cancellation — whatever comes. At this hour God is looking for mighty men and women of valour who will lay down their lives for the cause of Christ.

God is calling church leaders to be brave now. But there is also a warning: if you do not rise up at this hour, I fear for you, for the congregations, and for the churches under your charge. If you will not stand when it really matters, then what are you ever going to stand for and defend? If you cannot defend a nation, if you will not speak up against injustice and unrighteousness, if you cannot stand and prophesy to a world and a nation that calls evil good and good evil — then when will you stand? If you are fearful now, what hope is there that you will stand against a religion or a system that seeks to destroy you?

I wonder how much it will take to make you stand. The reality is this: if church leaders do not stand at this moment, then they are not fit for purpose. I believe God will raise up new leaders — a new generation who will take on this mantle and carry this wineskin. This is a new revival, unlike anything before. It requires a strong political aspect.

The church has disengaged from politics for too long. In that void, those of evil and deceived disposition have injected their influence into our political system. If we are to turn this nation around for good, the church must be involved. The church must understand what this hour requires, get ready, and raise brave men and women who will stand and fight — for this is a fight for the soul of a nation. There are no more excuses. Either you get involved, or you hand in your P45; if you refuse to fight, I believe God will raise others who will.

Triple validation of my foretaste of Jesus’ return

The life-changing night of 36 years ago eventually brought surprising confirmations of the event by using my birthday and first address numbers: 22 and 212. Moreover, their occasional ‘God-incidental’ appearance in timings of items coming to my attention has rapidly increased over the past couple of years, as noted in my postings. Now to return to my testimony:

Quite some time was needed to gain a full understanding of that awesome Visitation and my being confronted by the absolute holiness of the Lord Jesus Christ. No wonder I was intensely convicted and suddenly knew personal judgement definitely IS TRUE!  As mentioned, I fully expected to take my last breath there and then and be dropped down into Hell.

‘…but mercy (full of glad confidence) exults victoriously over judgement’ – James 2:13 (The Amplified Bible)

A few years later I heard the scripture, “mercy triumphs over judgement” – yes indeed it does and thank you for being so gracious to me, my Lord. May it be similarly so for the multitudes who don’t yet know You.

That life-changing encounter used two personally intimate aspects of my life, unknown to any living soul, to grab my undivided attention and thereby validate the experience as being real, not at all imaginary.

Even more amazingly, both validations are directly related to the 1st and 2nd Advents!  Thus, they could not but enhance my interest in End-Times that had begun only a few years earlier when reading The Invisible Hand (as described herein). Yet it took me 30 years for it to dawn upon me that when that happened I’d been given the first two pieces of an ‘invisible jigsaw’!!!

The First Advent was when Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea about two thousand years ago. Hence, the four weeks leading into Christmas are designated within the church calendar as Advent, and which start the church year. The Second Advent is coming soon and is expected to begin in the city of Jerusalem.

FIRST VALIDATION

I inwardly ‘knew’ that heavenly visitor was indeed Jesus Christ himself, and that His impressive swift descent was a foretaste of His promised return in all His glory.

The event reminded me of my favourite picture in mother’s Missal, or service book of the Roman Mass.  This gave the scriptures for Sunday services throughout the year together with a picture symbolising the theme for each service.  As a boy very keen on astronomy I’d been fascinated by the picture for the First Sunday in Advent. It depicted Jesus standing on the clouds over a burning earth in the midst of sun, moon and falling stars, telling of events before his Second Advent!

The validation mentioned above came almost as unusually.

At a healing retreat six years later (1995), one of the ministry prayer-team said God would show me something after lunch. Indeed He did, for a lady who’d been sitting at my table later confided whilst we were walking, that the Lord had told her to show me something she greatly treasured, as below:

It was a photo taken from an aircraft over a thunderstorm. When developed, the photo bore an image of Jesus Christ as though standing within the clouds. But the facial features were hazy; exactly like Jesus in my dream because I’d not seen His face!!  (I seem to recall hazy clouds at the foot of the image. This one shown is published by Bible Probe.) Continue reading

…Jesus sees me from the clouds and swoops down!!

Upon awaking 36 years ago this morning, 14th September 1989, I was overjoyed to find I’m still alive after having had such a very close call with death in the night!

The previous evening I’d firmly shut the door to hearing any more of Billy Graham on Jesus and I decided to remain within a gnostic-type of belief system.

However, I never suspected putting paid to my earthly visitor would result in a heavenly one!

Although I lived in Berkshire, that night was then spent at my childhood home of 212 E___ Rd, Stockport, Cheshire, undergoing an astonishing life-changing event.

In a most unusual dream I went back in time and space. A dream so lucid that even four decades later it remains vividly etched within me. Here’s what happened, as written in the original testimony with explanatory comments in italics; please bear with the close-type as there’s too much formatting code to revise.:

A HEAVENLY VISITOR
‘I am in my childhood home and standing in front of the very tall casement window in one corner of the lounge. I look up into the inky, dark night sky outside.
A small flotilla of large, wingless aircraft drifts slowly across from left to right at high altitude and I groan, “Oh…not that flying saucer nonsense. I must be dreaming!”
I’m sceptical about the existence of UFO’s, but now another ‘fleet’ of some sort appears from the right and heads towards the first.
(The dream now changes gear by going up a level from the usual mix of mental material to that of absolute lucidity…)
The ‘light goes on’! In my ‘knower’, I realise the first fleet is demonic and the second is masses of angels under the command of Jesus Christ. (I did not believe in them, and regarded Jesus as one of many world teachers. Here, I see no individuals but inwardly know the situation.)
I think I’m about to watch an amazing heavenly battle…but…OH NO! Somehow, I now know Jesus has espied me far down below and is coming down directly towards me!
All I see is a distant bright light very rapidly getting brighter and larger as it drops down to my location, just like an airliner approaching a runway to land at night.
Instantly, I realise my life has been one of sin that contrasts starkly against Jesus’ own holiness. Right away I realise what’s claimed about the Judgement is true – but mine is about to happen right now!
Beyond any doubt whatsoever I suddenly realise my involvement in the occult was most definitely wrong. Consequently, I deserve the undesirable abode!
Groaning “My number’s up!” I inwardly tremble in fearful knowledge I’m about to die at any moment. An invisible trapdoor I’m standing on will drop me straight into Hell.
Utmost mortal terror strikes! I dive under the drop-leaf table by the wall to the left of the window so I can hide from Jesus. But he knows I’m hiding there and swoops down straight through the wall on the other side of the corner window. He’s standing in the room and right beside the table!
Cowering below the table with my back turned towards him, I glance over my shoulder and see him from the knees down, his body and face out of sight above the table.
Most unexpectedly, somehow I have the courage to reach my hand out backwards to grab at the hem of Jesus’ robe…
As I tug, the event goes into yet another level of revelation regarding my childhood…Then I awake! Thoroughly alert, further sleep eludes me!’

The dream reminds me of an evocative small picture that strongly impressed me when a child – the return of Jesus Christ:

Later, I understand my terror had been ‘the fear of God’ brought by the Holy Spirit convicting me of my personal wrongdoing and, thus, preparing me to receive God’s grace – a totally undeserved favour!

Also, what happened after reaching for Jesus proves He’s so closely acquainted with my intimate thoughts when a boy. The dream’s conclusion shows He’s going to topple those childish concepts and replace them with an absolutely sure knowledge of His true identity.

“The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love” (Psalm 111).

Mercifully, He plucked me right out of the domain of darkness to bring me into His own Kingdom and receive its blessings. I deserved none of that. Truly, Amazing Grace – how awesome and wonderful..!

As a result of the most remarkable dream I’d ever had, I was left with no choice but to seriously reconsider all my New Age and occult notions. Meditational and mystical exercises had resulted in my having some unusual, ‘psychic’ dreams, but none like this one.

The only dream remotely similar was many years earlier of being in an ‘altered’ state of consciousness known as ‘nirvana’, There I was immersed in a field of light and felt so blissful BUT I was then taken behind its alluring golden light. Sheer ecstasy turned to abject terror as the light I was in got swept aside like a curtain to reveal an enormous, hideous, devouring beast of utter blackness approaching me – far, far worse than any nightmare!

I wasn’t into drugs but was ignorant of the scripture ‘satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light (2 Cor 11:14). Upon reading that verse years later, I realised its truth had been dramatically demonstrated to me when a non-Christian!

But in this new dream my terrifying fear had been overcome by Jesus Christ Himself and His wonderful mercy and love. He ‘arrested’ me in my sin only to rescue me from falling into the pit of Hell.

In this stunning night the Truth I’d been searching for since a teenager turned up in Person – thank You Lord. And lots more Truth was to come as I began to open the door to His Good News!

Moreover, this amazing encounter in 1989 was yet to be validated on three occasions!!!

So, if you don’t yet know Jesus Christ and have a personal relationship with Him, you may wish to know more and consider this vital matter at Do You Know Jesus?

A vivid foretaste of Jesus’ return…after I’d shut the door to Him!

Thirty six years ago tonight, 13-14th September 1989, I shut the door to hearing any more about God’s Good News – but that night almost died of fright!

However, I thank the loving heavenly Father today is the anniversary of a date written in my destiny – perhaps in heaven too? One akin to a second birthday!!

LIFE-CHANGING ENCOUNTER Continue reading
