Huge God-incidences: part 2 – Council of Nicaea 1700th anniversary prayer call

Now for that latest piece in God’s Invisible Jigsaw from Dr Jurgen Buhler, President International Christian Embassy, Jerusalem:

A special call to 100 days of prayer and fasting to heal the rift between the Church and the Jewish people
By Dr. Jürgen Bühler, ICEJ President

‘This year many churches around the world are commemorating 1700 years since the landmark Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. According to Church historian Philip Schaff, Nicaea was – next to the Apostolic council in Jerusalem in Acts chapter 15 – “the most important and the most illustrious of all the councils of Christendom.” (1)

Nicaea was only the second global council since the days of the original Apostles. In Acts 15, we read about the very first church council discussing how to deal with the new phenomena of Gentiles joining a predominantly Jewish church. In that Jerusalem gathering, the early Apostles had opened wide the door for Gentile believers to join the Church.

Nicaea impacted the Church in a similarly powerful way. But unlike the Jerusalem council, at Nicaea the doors of the Church began to be firmly close on the Jewish people. The umbilical cord was cut between the Church and Israel, even though it was the nation and people who had birthed the Church. It also opened the door for growing anti-Jewish tendencies among Gentile Christians in the following centuries.

To be clear, this development was neither planned nor intended when the council was first called. Yet what made Nicaea end with a very different result from its inception was not inspired by spiritual leaders as in Acts 15, but by the Roman emperor himself.

Emperor Constantine, who reigned from 306 to 337 AD, was a new convert to Christianity. This brought a tremendous sense of relief for the early Church, which had just survived one of the worst waves of persecution a few years earlier under Emperor Diocletian. Constantine not only eased the fears of the Church but decided to make his newly-found faith the most official religion of the Roman Empire….’

New Pope wants to strengthen dialogue with the Jewish people

Yes Neil, the timing of your revisiting the doctrine of Replacement Theology, especially its history, really is “God-engineered” for we now have an indication of further changes within the Roman branch of Jesus’ Church:

Newsmax reports (emphases mine)

‘Pope Leo XIV has told the world’s Jewish communities he wants to strengthen the Roman Catholic Church’s dialog with them, in a message coming after a souring of relations between the Vatican and Israel over the war in Gaza.

The first U.S.-born pope sent a letter to Rabbi Noam Marans, the Director of Inter-religious Affairs of the American Jewish Committee, who posted the letter on the social platform X late on Monday.

“Trusting in the assistance of the almighty, I pledge to continue and strengthen the Church’s dialog and cooperation with the Jewish people in the spirit of the Second Vatican Council’s declaration Nostra Aetate,” Leo said in the letter.

Nostra Aetate was a landmark document in the 1962-1965 Council that repudiated the concept of collective Jewish guilt for the death of Jesus and urged dialog with non-Christian religions.

The brief document revolutionized Catholic relations with Jews after centuries of persecution and mistrust. Dialog that ensued over the following two decades made it possible for Pope John II to become the first pontiff to visit a synagogue, giving a speech in Rome’s main temple in 1986, where he called Jews “our beloved elder brothers”.

We seem to have arrived at  a veritable watershed upon the 1700th anniversary of the agreed core beliefs of Christian doctrine and published in the Nicene Creed.

Richard’s Watch goes full-circle: 8 – false theology, BBC bias and anti-Semitism

Posted on by

WWW, wheels-within-wheels, continue to roll as dear Neil’s revisiting ‘RT’ and strong stand against anti-Semitism takes this blog full circle back to its beginning fourteen years ago in November when my emailing him and other friends on End-times went public. That month I’d already written about a broadcast theological debate and my very first item, after launching with a Welcome to the wider public, continued with a follow-up, viz

False theology and false history

As ever, ‘God-incidental’ timing is intriguing because Neil wrote his latest as a result of a “curious series of events happened over the weekend” (Psalm Sunday) exposing the need for a proper grasp of scripture’s relevance to our times, and he wishes to share:

“Saturday morning I attended a Men’s Breakfast…I went with no intention or expectation of speaking….

There was a guest speaker from America who I did not know, and have never heard. He started by saying that he had decided the best format for the meeting would be if we attenders where to ask any question we liked, and he would answer. There was a long silence; so, to break the ice, I asked “Do you think Gaza could be under the judgement of God?” there was another silence, then he said: “I don’t know about Gaza, but I think America is under judgement”.
I said: “I asked the question because the people of Gaza have been cursing Israel for at least 20 years, and probably 77. In the Bible God says that if you curse my people Israel you will be cursed: there must be an outcome”. He said: “it depends on who you think “Israel” is. It is not the land, it is the people of God who are now “Israel” and there is only one “people of God”. My comment: “that sounds like replacement theology”. He then said something about different dispensations and “grafted-in Theology”, at which point the host stepped in and said we needed to move on to other questions.”

The next day Neil was interrupted during conversation by someone saying she’d heard he’d been “controversial” at the breakfast – but the speaker was entitled to a different point of view. “I tried to explain that replacement theology is not just “a different point of view”. However, I could see I wasn’t going to get anywhere… I don’t know why what happened, happened, but I am convinced it was God engineered.”

The sadness is that very few people understood, or cared about, what had taken place. The woman’s belief that it was a fluffy little difference of opinion between two equally valid points, seems to be the consensus view.”

Such a clueless position, instead of taking a stand against hatred, it implicitly supports….

BBC and ANTI-SEMITISM

As a consequence of writing about ‘RT’ in November 2011 I noticed and posted many times in the blog’s first year on the BBC’s deeply biased reporting against Israel – hence the need for a BBC tag!

AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS that since Neil’s ‘God engineered’ encounters, relevant news emerged on Tuesday regarding a vastly overpaid sports ex-commentator:

Now, let’s get back to what holy scripture says, for this passage in Ephesians 2 featured the next day at a local house group:

Brought Near by His Blood

11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Christ Our Peace

14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. (Ephesians 2 NKJV BibleGateway)

This points to God’s ultimate goal of all people, Jews and non-Jews, becoming united believers in Jesus Christ through His awesome grace. This is extensively explained in the books written to the Hebrews and the church in Rome.

Replacement Theology misses significance of Jesus’ warning of the Abomination

Reference:  The Lord Hands Out FIVE Jigsaw Pieces on Daniel 9 :

“So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not (let the reader understand) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains…” (Mark 13:14 – emphases mine – re Dan 9:27 NKJV)

As ‘the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy’ (Rev 19:10) then His instruction is indubitably prophetic about this sign appearing sometime in the future. Thus, Jesus not only confirms the accuracy of the angel Gabriel’s prophecy to Daniel but also bears His witness to its coming true, and establishing it according to the principle of Deut 19:15.

In heeding that warning, nearly forty years later Jesus’ followers wisely fled Jerusalem when Titus’ huge Roman army besieged and destroyed the city and temple.

As told in Bio Info, the Lord had put this book in my hand and validated its content by what was being shown simultaneously on BBC. Its author Victor Dunstan examines the time-scales of Daniel’s prophecies and the ‘Abomination of Desolation’.

He cites Gibbon’s ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ regarding the outcome of the six months’ siege of Jerusalem (636-7 AD) during Muslim attacks against the Christian Byzantine empire and conquest of The Levant.

Sophronius, Patriarch of Jerusalem, agreed to surrender on condition he submit direct to the Caliph Umar in person:

‘After signing the capitulation, (Umar) entered the city without fear or precaution; and courteously discoursed with the Patriarch concerning its religious antiquities. Sophronius bowed before his new master and secretly muttered, in the words of Daniel, “The abomination of desolation is in the holy place!”

Three decades later the Islamic shrine and Dome on the Rock mosque was completed upon a wing of the ruins of the Temple Mount. Victor emphases – it still STANDS there!.

Sadly, in ignoring the scriptural and historic validity of the Jews and nation of Israel then ‘RT’ aligns itself with endemic racial and religious hatred of anti-Semitism.

Replacement Theology’s ungodly root: despising the Desposyni

Posted on by
Reply

A couple of historical points to add to Neil Mackereth’s Replacement Theology Revisited that I’d like to add are on the heritage of Jesus’ family and His warning prophecy of ‘the Abomination of Desolation’ in Jerusalem:

THE DESPOSYNI 

Occasionally, I refer to the ‘Desposyni’, as for example in Jesus’ Crucifixion Described in The Holy Name of God:

‘When he made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire in the early 4th Century, Constantine discouraged all contact with Jews and the Church severed itself from its Jewish roots – from even the descendants of Jesus’ kith and kin, known as Desposyni.  In doing so, the Church lost a fuller and deeper understanding of the Old Testament.’

Now let’s expand upon this matter with the help of priest and professor Malachi Martin, whom I seem to recall served as Librarian in the Vatican Library, in his seminal The Decline and Fall of the Roman Church published 1981 (page 34, emphases added):

‘..For Donatus preached the old Jewish idea of a temporal kingdom, just as the Ayatollah proclaims in behalf of Islam. The Roman popes, no matter how subordinate they became to political power, no matter how greatly corrupted by it, always saw their spiritual power as distinct from the political and never wholly identified the two. This was the narrow but all-important hair-difference between Donatus and the bishop of Rome.

4. The Blood Relatives of Jesus

‘In defeating Donatus, Silvester rejected only one extreme that could have spelled early death for Christianity. There was another that in its own attractive way could have been just as lethal. This was the policy of the Jewish Christians, who occupied the oldest Christian churches in the Middle East and whose leaders were always from the family of Jesus himself. Like all Christians, including the Donatists, they expected an imminent return of Jesus. Unlike the Donatists, and now the Romans, they shunned all worldly power and revolution, and were for the most part dirt-farmers and petty merchants, hugging close to their obscurity even though their first bishop was James, first cousin of Jesus.

Yet the issue that arose between Silvester and the Jewish Christians was nothing less than the whole nature of the church. A meeting between Silvester and the Jewish Christian leaders took place in the year 318. The emperor provided sea transport for eight rough-and-ready men as far as Ostia, the port of Rome. From there they rode on donkeys into the imperial city and up to the Lateran Palace, where Pope Silvester now lived in grandeur. In their rough woolen clothes and leather boots and hats, and with their earthy smell, they contrasted sharply with Silvester’s retinue of smartly clad and pomaded bishops and officials. They refused to sit. Silvester spoke with them in Greek-he could not understand their Aramaic; they had little or no Latin. The vital interview was not, so far as we know, recorded, but the issues were very well known, and it is probable that Joses, the oldest of the Christian Jews, spoke on behalf of the desposyni and the rest.

That most hallowed name, desposyni, had been respected by all believers in the first century and a half of Christian history. The word literally meant, in Greek, “belonging to the Lord.” It was reserved uniquely for Jesus’ blood relatives. Every part of the ancient Jewish Christian church had always been governed by a desposynos, and each of them carried one of the names traditional in Jesus’ family – Zachary, Joseph, John, James, Joses, Simeon, Matthias, and so on. But no one was ever called Jesus. Neither Silvester nor any of the thirty-two popes before him, nor those succeeding him, ever emphasized that there were at least three well-known and authentic lines of legitimate blood descendants from Jesus’ own family. One from Joachim and Anna, Jesus’ maternal grandparents. One from Elizabeth, first cousin of Jesus’ mother, Mary, and Elizabeth’s husband, Zachary. And one from Cleophas and his wife, who also was a first cousin of Mary.

Jews, and that included Jewish Christians, had been forbidden to enter Jerusalem under pain of instant death. That ban had not yet been lifted, at the time of Silvester’s meeting with the Jewish Christians. Silvester knew their history well. Jewish Christians had composed the only church ever in Jerusalem until the year 135. They left it only once in 102 years following Jesus’ death, just before the city’s capture by the Emperor Titus. Led by their bishop, Simeon, son of Cleophas, who was Jesus’ uncle by marriage, they had fled to Perea (in modern Jordan). In A.D. 72 they had returned to Jerusalem and had remained there until Hadrian’s ban. After that, Jewish Christian churches were set up all over Palestine, Syria, and Mesopotamia, but they were always hated by the local synagogues as apostates of Judaism, and always in quarrel with Greek Christians who refused to be circumcised and observe the Torah-things the Jewish Christians insisted on.

They therefore asked Silvester to revoke his confirmation of Greek Christian bishops in Jerusalem, in Antioch, in Ephesus, in Alexandria, and to name instead desposynos bishops.

In addition, they asked that the Christian practice of sending cash contributions to the desposynos church in Jerusalem as the mother church of Christianity, which had been suspended since the time of Hadrian, be resumed.

Silvester curtly and decisively dismissed the claims of the Jewish Christians. He told them the mother church was now in Rome, with the bones of the Apostle Peter, and he insisted that they accept Greek bishops to lead them.

It was the last known discussion between the Jewish Christians of the old mother church and the non-Jewish Christians of the new mother church. By his adaptation, Silvester, backed by Constantine, had decided that the message of Jesus was to be couched in Western terms by Western minds on an imperial model.

The Jewish Christians had no place in such a church structure. They managed to survive until the first decades of the fifth century. Then, one by one, they disappear. A few individuals reconcile themselves with the Roman Church always as individuals, never communities or whole Jewish Christian churches.’

REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY REVISITED

INTRODUCTION

I am disturbed and distressed by the parlous state of the World and our Nation. With few exceptions, our churches have developed a wishy washy, sit on the fence, don’t rock the boat, non-confrontational form of Complacent Theology.

Where is the conviction, robustness and power of Almighty God? I have a zeal for The Word of God, and truth, which is at odds with the smug wokeness of our time.

I want to focus on Replacement Theology (RT) (also known as Supersessionism), and its manifestation, antisemitism. I have written several papers on this subject and only return to it because it is getting much worse, as a result of the 7th October 2023 atrocities. The “Palestinian Movement” have invented a false narrative that has been taken up by the BBC and other mainstream media platforms, and that narrative has become self-affirming (“it must be right; they are saying it as well”).

First let us look at the historic roots of RT.

In preparing for our ‘holy-day’ during Holy Week and ‘offline sabbatical’ I’d auto-scheduled republication of postings for Resurrection Sunday, the last of which (2017 reprised) refers to The Fabric of Time dvd on The Shroud of Turin. That busy week made it impossible to check linkages are up-to-date and I find the final paragraph’s link (italicised below) is no longer available:

‘Read about bizarre anomalies in scientific instruments placed on the slab of stone in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre said to be have been where Jesus’ body lay (in): Scientists Who Opened Christ’s Tomb Detect Mysterious Readings That Support Shroud Theory.’

Also, for some reason the PostScript to last year’s issue failed to show, maybe because of current problems with links failing to open on my Win 11 Chrome browser (it works on Brave!).

This video was published in December 2023 and is a most helpful illustrated overview of a most fascinating valid record of the axiomatic crux of Christianity.

2025 > MORE!

Record attendance at churches over the Holy Season incline me to believing the Lord is evidently drawing our attention to HIM and the importance of this astonishing artifact.

In fact, it took nearly 2,000 years for the unique nature of Jesus’ Burial Shroud to be verified and demonstrated by means of modern photography and scientific knowledge.

Therefore, we can be absolutely sure of the Gospels’ disturbing details of Jesus’ torture, crucifixion, death and His return to life within a tomb in truly a blaze of glory!

For readers wishing to know more I offer the following recent videos that confirm and build upon the scientific details covered in ‘The FABRIC of TIME’ dvd.

First, the official documenting photographer of the STURP (Shroud of Turin Research Project) since 1976 and inspiration behind the Shroud’s official website and practising Jew, Barrie Schwortz’s amazing personal account :

Is the Shroud of Turin the real burial cloth of Jesus Christ—or the greatest mystery in Christian history? In this powerful episode of Michael &, Michael Knowles is joined by theologian and historian Dr. Jeremiah Johnston to uncover the mind-blowing discoveries surrounding the Shroud. From scientific analysis and historical evidence to theological significance, they explore what makes the Shroud one of the most studied and debated relics in the world—and what it could mean for believers today. 👉 Watch now and decide for yourself: miracle, hoax, or holy artifact?

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

First published in the early years of this blog and annually thereafter for newer 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 His twelve, principal disciples ate the Passover Seder, or meal, in advance of the main schedule in order to be ready for His being the sacrificial Lamb of God.

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, Saul of Tarsus, a Jewish leader violently opposed to them, had a life-changing encounter with the Ascended Jesus en-route to Damascus. He became known as Apostle Paul and wrote that Jesus had been seen simultaneously by over 500 people post-Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:6 refers).

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. Paul explains it this way to the early church in the Rome:

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 already witnessed Jesus walking on water but were yet to be surprisingly but joyously stunned Him by His turning up in their midst, materialising, in a private room behind closed doors for fear of the Jews (John 20:19) – maybe quantum dynamics principle of ‘tunnelling’, as in On Engaging and Governing Time, came into play? – then forty days later watch Him flying bodily upwards into the clouds!

Dame Isabel succinctly summarises:

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

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

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

Jesus’ Crucifixion described within the Holy Name of God

Posted on by
1

First published on this blog in April 2017:

According to Steve Maltz, author of God’s Signature, the only time the sacred, personal Name of God was spoken by the ancient Israelites was during worship in the Temple in Jerusalem, and especially on the Day of Atonement when the High Priest pronounced it ten times.

The Talmud has many warnings about using the most holy Name – it is also regarded as having special powers of healing. Apparently knowledge of its pronunciation was lost after the fall of the Temple in AD70 prophesied by Jesus Christ.

The knock-on effect of that event, together with the Roman Church’s withdrawal in the third Century of financial support for churches in the Holy Land founded by Jesus’ own ‘kith and kin’ (‘desponyni’), was the great loss of a full understanding of the Church’s Hebraic roots. Hence the confusion and doctrinal disagreements over Jesus’ claim, “I am in the Father and the Father is in me” (John 14:10).

Digging deeper we encounter an astonishing revelation of that double-identity!

From translations of Hebrew, the post-Shakespeare English-speaking world referred to God’s Name as ‘Jehovah’ or ‘LORD’ (letter ‘J’ was then starting to replace ‘i’). However, Jews preferred well-known descriptive titles such as ‘Elohim’ – God, in all the fullness of His attributes; ‘El Shaddai’ – Almighty; ‘El Sabaoth’ – Lord of heavenly hosts; or Adonai’ – Lord, and more often than not the reverent term ‘Ha Shem’ (The Name) sufficed.

Scribes, or sopher, needed to take special care in praying before writing the holy name, which must be done without interruption. Were a mistake made, it must not be corrected but the whole page discarded and the page restarted. Numbering had to be carefully handled too because Hebrew characters represented both letters and numbers. So the logical way of writing 15 is to add a yod (ie 10) to a hey (ie 5) and likewise for 16 (a yod to a vav). But this never happened because, as part of the sacred name, they could accidentally be read as this name. The Holy Name is shown below, but read from right to left:

Ha Shem

“Yod-Hey-Vav-Hay” first appears in Genesis 2:4 statement ‘The Book of Beginnings’ is the account of, “When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens”.This Name was first revealed when Moses encountered God in the burning bush after he’d asked Him whom should he tell the Israelites had sent him to get them out of their slavery in Egypt.

God replied, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you’. ” (Exodus 3:14 NKJV)
Steve writes, “Interestingly and contrary to popular belief, the Hebrew word used in this passage…is not YHVY (he shows Hebrew characters). So, what’s going on here? Is it His name or isn’t it? In this Exodus passage, the word used for His name is “Aleph-Hey-Yod-Hey”.

“This takes the meaning of “I will be”…(which) shares a similar three-consonant root with YHVY in Hey-Vav-Hey and Hey-Yod-Hey…and as they’re related are both ways of describing God”. Hence my liking of describing God as “Always” and “Now”, the latter being used by Charlie Shamp too.

HOLY FATHER-SON UNION REVEALED & THE CRUCIFIXION FORETOLD

As in those preceding links, literary Hebrew developed out of pictographic forms that represent gestures and their meanings. We logically surmise both original visual and later written forms were known to and, therefore, used by the Lord in communicating with Abraham and his descendants through Issac and Jacob, and used by Moses and his scribes in compiling the first five books of the Bible.

Comparing the literary and pictorial forms of the name Moses heard and recorded as being from the Lord, we have this graphic (credit Heart To Heart):

Hebrew is read right to left, ie ‘hand-look-nail-look’, but if we read as normal left to right we find not only the Name of God describing who He is, the fullness of His character and abilities, but also its exceptional prophetic nature in it foretelling the pivotal point of His action plan for humanity: the crucifixion of His Son Jesus Christ!

BEHOLD – A NAIL – BEHOLD – A HAND

AND THIS ‘WORD’ SHOWS TWO PERSONS!

Could this indicate that Christ was hidden in the Father when Moses encountered them at the burning bush but manifested as ‘The Angel of the Lord’ or pre-incarnate Christ ? It’s worth reading Exodus 3 carefully again and note Who is speaking to Moses…

Moreover, the pictographs graphically portray God as ‘hands up’ in connection with a nail. Putting all this together into one picture we get a typical image of Jesus on the Cross at Calvary, where long nails or spikes driven through Jesus’ wrists damage the median nerves thus making His hands bend into the ‘claw position’ – just like letter Yod!!

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

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

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

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

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

This claim continues by divulging this astounding mystery:

REVELATION 1:8, 11 – 21:6 – 22:13

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

It’s noteworthy that this word received by Veronika is relevant to my recent posts on how the World Economic Forum is unexpectedly Failing and Falling, as though being an over-arching ‘sign’ of the failure of established financial systems that’s been discussed for some years in non-mainstream independent journalism and news, and President Donald Trump’s new ways of increasing American’s wealth: Continue reading →

Stand Your Ground – Neil Mackereth

Posted on by

My End-times writing partner Neil Mackereth offers further thoughts and insights which strongly remind me that this topic not only proves the Bible is prophetic, both before and since Jesus’ life and ministry, but also affects everyone living today by predicting a 20th Century event that is focal – as though ‘ground-zero’ – to kick-starting the End-times. Thus, I underscore Neil’s opening paragraph…

STANDING YOUR GROUND

Introduction

In the last couple of years, it has often been the case that when I start to write an article on a particular topic, God changes my direction. Today is no exception: while drafting a paper on some general principles of prophecy, God guided me to a specific prophetic fulfilment, and to some related Biblical imperatives, that are being under-appreciated or ignored.

The Prophetic Fulfilment

The re-establishment of the state of Israel in a day, on 14 May 1948, was supernatural, extraordinary and the fulfilment of many prophecies; as in the accompanying Annex.

The detail in those prophecies is mind-blowing and their significance, describing a key turning point in the history of God’s people and a major stepping-stone in the accomplishment of His plans for the world, is seriously undervalued by the church.

Biblical Imperatives

The imperative that trumps all imperatives is that if the Jews were taken out of history there would be no Bible, no prophets, no Judaism, no Jesus, no Christianity etc. Obviously, that is not where we are. But think about it; if Israel were to cease to exist, the Bible would not be true.

Moving on, Israel is a land about which God repeatedly says: “This is MY land” (Joel 1:6; Zech. 2:5-7; Gen. 35:10-15).

God’s call to Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3): ”Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

Isaiah 62:1: “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will see your vindication, and all kings your glory;”

Psalm 122:6: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem”

The Outworking

It is time to take the Word of God seriously, speak out, tell the truth, bless Israel, pray without ceasing, preach the Gospel and lift up our hands in Holy and joyful praise: we have a mighty God.

The Challenge

There can be few who would not agree that the “Palestinians” have been cursing Israel for at least 20 years, and probably for 77. The Bible shows there are consequences: I believe Gaza is under judgement. That does not mean that we should not pray for them and seek their wellbeing. There is no place for hatred in our faith,

What are the roots of this demonically driven desire to see Israel overrun, and the Jewish people eradicated? That question was answered in part in an earlier paper: Israel in the End Times. It is all part of Satan’s plan to ensure that there is no Nation of Israel, no land and no people, for Jesus to return to as King. In other words, Satan believes he can prevent the fulfilment of Biblical prophecy.

With few exceptions, the founding fathers of the church were Jews, and that remained the case until the Gospel began to spread. Paul defines and describes the Jews’ role in God’s purposes, in Romans 9-11: the passage explains the theology of God’s covenants with the Jews. Scripture explains that, spiritually speaking, Christians are grafted into the Jewish legacy (Rom. 2:28-29, Gal. 3:26-29) – the church does not replace them!

It would be anomalous for a Bible-believing Christian to take a passive position toward the Jews and Israel. As Christians, we stand with Israel, because they are forever linked with the spiritual promises of God, and we owe them an immeasurable debt of gratitude.

Ezekiel 37 confirms God’s commitment to make the land of Israel theirs forever.

Notwithstanding Israel’s clear Biblical entitlement to the land, the 1917 Balfour declaration to assign it to them, and the confirmation of the United Nations Assembly in 1948, Israel is portrayed as the aggressor for defending her land from relentless genocidal attacks. The Palestinian goal is not to secure a homeland but to drive Israel out altogether. The relentless animosity of parts of the Arab world is not politically motivated. As mentioned above, there are demonic powers that will not be satisfied until Israel ceases to exist.

Stand With Israel

Scripture says a time is coming when all the nations of the world will turn against Israel (Zech. 12:1-14). Do you see it is happening? The very influential main stream media have become agents of Satan’ propaganda machine and are leading people astray: antisemitism has reached epidemic proportions (eg. as in latest on the BBC as below).

There seems every likelihood that we are the end times generation. Our calling is to stand with Israel. As Ephesians 6:13 says:

“Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”

RB Footnote:

‘Tim Davie, the BBC’s director general, refused anti-Semitism training for the broadcaster, the Government’s adviser on anti-Jewish hatred has revealed.

Lord Mann, Sir Keir Starmer’s independent adviser on anti-Semitism, said he had visited BBC bosses to offer training on three occasions since taking up his role in 2019. However, he said senior figures, including Mr Davie himself, turned down his repeated offers despite growing fears of an anti-Semitism problem at the BBC.

In a strongly worded condemnation of the broadcaster, Lord Mann accused it of failing to take seriously allegations of anti-Semitism and alleged anti-Israel bias in its reporting, saying there was an “arrogance at the top”.

He called for senior executives of the news corporation to be sacked for signing off on a controversial documentary….’

A sobering prophetic warning to the Church – Veronika West

Posted on by

Veronika continued Monday morning’s posting The Days of Elijah Have Begun in the early afternoon with further very serious insights from Holy Spirit whilst travelling home, as follows:

A SOBERING PROPHETIC WARNING TO THE CHURCH 

“Watch, for I AM raising up an Apostolic and Prophetic Remnant in The Spirit and Power of Elijah — that will bring Judgement on the House and the Sons of Eli”

 

So with The LORD speaking much to me today, concerning The Spirit and Power of Elijah, as I was driving home, suddenly I heard The Holy Spirit say something which caused me to pull off the road and write it down!

What He said was incredibly powerful, and friends, even as I write this, I feel the weight of The Spirit of The Fear of The LORD come upon me!

I heard Him say, “Watch, for I AM raising up an Apostolic and Prophetic Remnant in The Spirit and Power of Elijah — that will bring Judgement on the House and the Sons of Eli”

Wow… Wow!

Now, as I pulled off the road and wrote down what I was hearing The Spirit of Revelation saying, He suddenly showed me the “House of Eli and his Sons” as a Powerful Prophetic parallel of The Church in this hour.

Please see 1 Samuel 2 for more context for those Words.

There we encounter Hophni and Phinehas, the corrupt Sons of Eli the priest, who did not truly “know The LORD.”

They treated the sacrificial offerings made to God with disdain, and this led the people astray.

See also 1 Samuel 2:12-17,24 (below).

Their misconduct extended to vile acts of sexual immorality and perversion as they took sexual advantage of the women serving at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting!

Eli was aware of his sons’ actions and issued a rebuke, yet he failed to take decisive disciplinary action — and compromise crept in.

As a result, Hophni and Phinehas dismissed and ignored their father’s admonitions and continued in their wicked and corrupt ways, showing blatant contempt for God’s Laws and Instruction.

We then see God’s Prophet Samuel subsequently delivering a stark message of rebuke to Eli, accusing him of honouring his sons more than God Himself..

“Why do you kick at My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling place, and honour your sons more than Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?” 1 Samuel 2:29.

This was a Warning of impending Judgment: where Eli’s sons were destined to perish, and his lineage would face an early demise.

I submit, if we look closely at the House of Eli and his sons, we can see clearly the intricate tapestry of Church hierarchy.

There are individuals like the Hophni and Phinehas figures, whose very existence raises alarm bells about the moral and spiritual integrity of religious leadership, we see demonstrated in The Church.

These men — the Sons of Belial — I believe represent a grave reality within The Church that persists in this day — those who do not truly know The LORD, yet wield significant influence, leading many of the faithful astray through their actions and strange fire* teachings and prophecies!

Their behaviour often reveals a deep-seated corruption or a blatant disregard for the sacredness of the Word of God, embodying the strong metaphor of wolves in sheep’s clothing.

The Sons of Eli, “clad in the garments of so-called ‘righteousness’” misled God’s People, as they prioritised personal gain and popularity over genuine spiritual maturity and God-given Anointing and Authority.

Again, I see so clearly how this dark backdrop of the House of Eli and his sons, parallels prophetically The Church of today, many of whom are like Eli, as they strive to uphold their Faith within the religious structures of The Church.

These individuals are faithful Believers who grapple with their convictions in the face of widespread corruption. They are often paralyzed by a profound sense of hesitation when it comes to confronting the pervasive moral decay that surrounds them.

But like the House of Eli and his sons, this widespread corruption is not always overt; as it can manifest through subtle — yet damaging — compromises with worldly values, a disturbing rejection of the Word of The LORD, and an alarming reluctance to hold accountable those who perpetrate acts of evil, whether through negligence or intentional disregard for The Truth.

Just as Eli, the High Priest, chose not to discipline his wayward sons Hophni and Phinehas, and allowed them to continue in their wicked and perversion and misconduct in The Temple, many Church leaders today have acted in strikingly similar ways!

They have neglected their sacred responsibility and accountability to minister first unto God.

They have refused to uphold Purity, Integrity and Righteousness, in turning a blind eye to the actions of those among them who operate in ways that betray the very essence of their Faith!

By failing to confront wrongdoing, they have unwittingly enabled a toxic Spiritual Culture through complacency, and so abuse has flourished, allowing the seeds of corruption to take root and mature within The Church.

Ha! But now the Gavel is falling — and the grave consequences of such inaction, neglect and complacency that has been so severe, is leading not only to a distortion of the Truth of The Gospel, but also to a disillusionment of the faithful Children of God.

As the moral integrity of The Church has waned, so has the spiritual vitality and power of The Church.

This has left behind a wake of confusion and despair among those who seek for God’s direction and guidance in this time of great trouble in the world!

Just like Eli sought to protect his family’s status, that is exactly how The Church has tried to safeguard its reputation and popularity.

In its effort to appear inclusive, diverse and politically correct, The Church has promoted leaders who have a total disregard God’s Word and the leading of His Spirit!

I believe this is a Clarion Call to The Church in this 11th hour, to Return to its First Love — to Repent — and to uphold Truth, Holiness and Righteousness, and to Rise Up and begin to reveal the deep corruption and compromise that has brought great destruction.

Just as God prepared Samuel, God is raising a faithful Remnant to fulfil His Purposes!

Listen! God is not playing games with The Church in this Hour!

I Prophesy : ”WATCH! The House and Sons of Eli are about to come under the Judgment of God — and God is about to raise up a New Apostolic and Prophetic Wineskin filled with the Spirit and Power of Elijah — and they will curse the House and the Sons of Eli — and Great Judgement will ensue!

God is ‘Cleaning House’ and dealing with The Church as He dealt with the House and Sons of Eli!”

“The Wicked Sons of Eli
Now the Sons of Eli were corrupt;[a] they did not know The LORD. And the priests’ custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling. Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; and the priest would take for himself all that the fleshhook brought up. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. Also, before they burned the fat, the priest’s servant would come and say to the man who sacrificed, “Give meat for roasting to the priest, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw.”
And if the man said to him, “They should really burn the fat first; then you may take as much as your heart desires,” he would then answer him, “No, but you must give it now; and if not, I will take it by force.”
Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before The LORD, for men abhorred the offering of The LORD…….
…….No, my sons! For it is not a good report that I hear. You make The LORD’s people transgress.” 1 Samuel 2:12-17,24.

*Strange Fire: The Profane [Strange] Fire of Nadab and Abihu : “Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them.” Leviticus 10:1.

Blessings to you all.

The Days of Elijah HAVE begun – Veronika West

Posted on by
1

Ron Mark’s worship song These Are The Days of Elijah became an ‘earworm’ in mind and spirit over the weekend, as in my personal revelation of the Time To Breakout conference, and I look forward to whatever my friend Veronika would summarise of the profound matters she spoke upon – and more was yet to follow!
So on Monday I note she writes on her Facebook and in His Kingdom Prophecy – THE DAYS OF ELIJAH HAVE BEGUN::

On hearing those Words, I sat up and began to pray, and I was shown by The Spirit of Revelation, yet another and even greater shaking that is coming to The Church and to the Governments of the earth.

A great shaking that is going bring exposures like never seen before!

And then I heard, ”Watch! For The Books have now been opened!”

And I saw The Scales of Justice suddenly begin to move in the midst of a great shaking.

I saw not only severe Judgment coming for those who are corrupt — and to the kingdom of darkness — but I saw great vindication and great reward coming to those who have been attacked and unfairly accused in the last season.

I saw sudden recompense and great reward being released.

Then I was shown, The Spirit and Power of Elijah is coming to herald a great Wealth Transfer, and I saw a crashing of the financial systems and structures.

Wall Street — The Stock Exchange — being greatly shaken!

I saw a Global Economic Crisis coming, and The LORD said, “Watch! For when this begins to take place, it will be Sign that The Spirit and Power of Elijah is invading The Nations!”

Now, as I heard those Words, I saw a Hammer that looked like a Judge’s Gavel come out of the Heavens — and it came down upon a large black rock and smashed it to pieces!

Then I heard, ”Watch! For when the reign of My Justice and Judgement falls — that which was built on the black rock shall surely fall to ruin and never recover!”

I was then shown another Global Reset coming, that will usher in the rise of an end-time Army of Righteous Revolutionaries and the rise of the spirit of the Antichrist.

Now, as I was being shown these things, I felt The LORD’s Hand come upon me, and again I was shown many more things to come.

I saw many who will cry out in desperation, seeking answers amidst the turmoil and great economic confusion and uncertainty.

As false foundations are fully exposed and removed, many will feel lost, disillusioned by the crumbling systems they once trusted.

But I saw in the midst of this great time of chaos, a mighty army rising, forged in the fire of Adversity and Persecution — empowered by The Seven Spirits of God.

The Spirit and Power of Elijah was not just a call to The Judgment that is coming — it was also a Clarion Call to The Faithful Remnant — to those who had endured and remained steadfast and immovable in their Faith.

I then saw Radical Reformers standing firm, their hearts fully ablaze with divine purpose and unwavering resilience.

I saw Goshens rising, marked places emerging fully preparing for what is to come. Marked places — and marked people — fully equipped with the Revelation, Wisdom and Understanding of God, ready and rising to bring The Light of Christ into dark places.

I heard The Spirit say, “My rising, shining Remnant shall not be silenced — but they shall roar — and many Apostolic and Prophetic Voices never heard of before, shall come forth.
Those driven into caves of isolation — those who have been rejected, marginalized and oppressed, will rise carrying the double-troublers Mantle, and they shall legislate and execute Heaven’s Mandate in The Nations of the earth, in the Power and Authority of the Key of The House of David.
Yes, I tell you, they will declare My Truth and advance My Kingdom with a mighty demonstration of Power and Authority, that will cause The Heavens to shake and the earth to quake.
Get ready, for a New Movement of My Word and Spirit is coming!
A Wave of Revival that will sweep across Nations, which will awaken the deep sleepers and bring to birth Kingdom Reformation within The Church, that will impact The Nations of the earth!”

But then I heard a Warning; “Do not be deceived by the signs of the times!”

The enemy will attempt to sow great confusion and division among the ranks. False prophets will emerge, cloaked in deception, carrying strange fire, leading many astray.

Yet, those who have sought to make their Dwelling Place in The Secret Place of His Presence — those who have learned to hide and abide under the covering of His Word — will have the discernment to distinguish the Truth from falsehood — the Real from the counterfeit!

Then, I saw that as the Economic Structures and Systems fell, a mighty shift took place.

The great Wealth Transfer that is coming, is not merely about material gain; but it was about wealth and resources being redirected and redistributed for The Kingdom and for the accelerated advancement of His Purposes on the earth!

I saw Ministries receiving unexpected funding — new businesses emerging, that will thrive and expand — because the foundations are built on Godly Principles!

The very structures that once exploited the innocent and the ignorant, will be completely dismantled and destroyed, and a New Kingdom Economy —- rooted in radical Generosity, Justice, and Righteousness — will emerge!

But God showed me the Antichrist spirit rising in the midst.

I saw a dark figure rising out of Europe, cloaked in charm and great deceit; a figure rising amidst the ashes of the Old World Order.

Many would be captivated by his promises of peace and prosperity, safety and security!

Ha! But God’s faithful Remnant will discern The Truth and not be drawn in.

They would be armed with The Discernment of The Spirit, ready to counter every lie with the unshakeable Truth of God!

Friends get ready!

Stay in the place of ascension. Do not be tempted to come down from the Wall in this hour of great upheaval and great shaking!

Blessings to you all.

The Days of Elijah ARE here – Smith-Wigglesworth’s vision of Britain

Posted on by
6

Three leaders’ teaching and impartation sessions at last weekend’s national prophetic conference were truly very powerful, as briefly related in the previous post.

👉Time for the Church to Roar
👉Rise of Holy Breakers & Disrupters to Challenge Religious Structures.
👉Acceleration of the Church into Maturity
👉Shifting Away from the ‘Pastor/Teacher’ Model of Church into 5-Fold
👉Time for the Growth of House Church.
👉Shifting & Change for the Church. Reformation Level Change.

In addition to Veronika West’s prolific Facebook posts it was valuable hearing her deep insights into the Lord’s shaking, removing and restoring the nations to their foundations in Him.

What I particularly took on-board in view of a persistent inkling for going higher beyond blogging, was her frequent emphasis upon “TARRY!” – get closer and spend longer with the Lord and be consecrated; similarly to the disciples’ obedience to Jesus’ command prior to His Ascension and release of the Holy Spirit.

Veronika told delegates to open our Bibles at Luke 24:49 and I was STUNNED to find the words she stressed about ‘tarrying’ – “stay…until” – are already underlined in my pocket Bible, as shown below (NIV 1996, so I’d marked them many years ago):

NOW, I note especially verse 45 on Jesus opening the disciples’ minds to understand the Scriptures!

Moreover, in Veronika’s explanations of what she believes the Lord will soon be bringing about, I pointed out all this may relate to the astonishing vision of Britain that renowned healing evangelist Smith Wigglesworth was given in 1947 (my birth year). I was blessed to witness his prayer partner experiencing it too, as recounted in my email 26 May 2011:

SMITH-WIGGLESWORTH’s VISION OF BRITAIN (1947)

‘If it may help you to connect into this word I’d first like to tell of an event in 1997.

At a prayer for revival I had the privilege of meeting 80 years old Rev Norman James, prayer partner of the renowned ‘apostle of faith’, Smith Wigglesworth.

When this small group stood in a close circle to pray, Norman was less than a yard right in front of me. As he was quite short my eyes opened to gaze fully into his face and I couldn’t help but notice his eyes alight with excitement. A huge, beaming smile – he was radiant!

Norman could hardly speak, save to whisper,

“I’ve just seen what Wigglesworth saw – Britain in revival, on fire for the Lord!”

Ever so briefly he explained that in Wigglesworth’s 88th year the Lord had given him a vision of a future revival in Britain. He knew it would happen decades ahead but he so desperately desired to see such days. Thus Norman confided, “No wonder he wanted the Lord to keep him alive!“. But he just couldn’t find the words to describe its wonder.

Smith Wigglesworth’s prophecy about a coming move of the Holy Spirit in the UK, is as follows:

TWO DISTINCT MOVES
During the next few decades there will be two distinct moves of the Holy Spirit across the church in Great Britain. The first move will affect every church that is open to receive it and will be characterized by a restoration of the baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit. The second move of the Holy Spirit will result in people leaving historic churches and planting new churches. In the duration of each of these moves, the people who are involved will say “This is the great revival”. But the Lord says “No, neither is this the great revival but both are steps towards it”.

WORD AND SPIRIT
When the new church phase is on the wane, there will be evidenced in the churches something that has not been seen before: a coming together of those with an emphasis on the Word and those with an emphasis on the Spirit.

When the Word and the Spirit come together, there will be the biggest movement of the Holy Spirit that the nation, and indeed the world, has ever seen. It will mark the beginning of a revival that will eclipse anything that has been witnessed within these shores, even the Wesleyan and the Welsh revivals of former years. The outpouring of God’s Spirit will flow over from the UK to the mainland of Europe, and from there will begin a missionary move to the ends of the earth.

For a brief background see the Apostle of Faith on Jonas Clark’s website, or visit the Revival Library’s dedicated website for full biographical accounts and materials.’

The Days of Elijah ARE here – a personal revelation!

Last weekend saw a kind of action-reply – albeit up a level or two! – of what the Lord provided for this blog’s 11th birthday in November 2022 re 11th Hour Prophets, even starting with another God-incidental ‘bumping’ into Veronika West in Portsmouth….

👉Time for the Church to Roar
👉Rise of Holy Breakers & Disrupters to Challenge Religious Structures.
👉Acceleration of the Church into Maturity
👉Shifting Away from the ‘Pastor/Teacher’ Model of Church into 5-Fold
👉Time for the Growth of House Church.
👉Shifting & Change for the Church. Reformation Level Change.

After arriving on Friday evening at Oasis church in Portsmouth I went to its assembly hall and, as the only entry door faces the stage at the far end of the room, I dropped my shoulder bag onto a chair on the nearby rear row and turned on my heels to get a drink from the coffee-room but was very surprised to hear, “Richard, you should be sitting at the front!” – I turned and saw Veronika behind me.

As I’d not been looking into the hall I’d not seen her approaching, presumably having come up the centre aisle from the front-row and en-route to the ‘green room’. In fact, I did intend sitting on the second row anyway, so after our greeting I put bag and jacket there before getting the drink.

The evening started with a brief welcome to delegates and introduction of Veronika and then WE TOOK OFF IN WORSHIP led by guitarist Paul accompanied by the keyboard singer and a drummer into this song of 1994 by Robin Mark….

THEN WOW, AS HOLY SPIRIT CAME I needed to grip the top of front-row chairs in order to stay standing, AS THOUGH I WAS HOLDING ONTO A FLYING CHARIOT !!

I was reminded of prophet Elijah’s ascent into heaven as a whirlwind blew AND THEN COMES THE RENOWNED CHORUS…

WHICH REMINDED ME OF BEING SHOWN (1995)..

As recounted in Triple Validation of The Life-changing Reality of Jesus’ Visitation, “On a healing retreat years later, a minister told me God would show me something after lunch. Indeed, after lunch a stranger who’d been seated at my table confided that the Lord told her to show me something she greatly treasured.

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

Upon seeing this photo my legs gave way – I couldn’t stand but fell into a nearby chair! My companion said I went so white she thought I was going to faint or fall. Yet, just how did a stranger know to show me this photo? I’d not divulged such a personal dream – she simply said, “It’s the Lord’s doing”.

NOW thirty years later, after many minutes worship leader Paul moves into a song new to me, yet the words directly relate to what I was sensing, PLUS my recalling 2 Kings 2 account of Elijah not dying but being taken alive into heaven – a song about believers’ resurrection as in the context of today’s (Monday) BibleGateway Verse of the Day Romans 6:23 ‘For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord’ .

‘For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection.’ (Romans 6:5, NKJV)

At the closure of the lengthy superb Spirit-filled worship I was reminded of the verse in The Apocalypse on all heaven falling silent for half-an-hour, as New King James Bible states:

Seventh Seal: Prelude to the Seven Trumpets

8 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.

Now it so happens that on the ‘morrow Mark Iles was to refer many times in his teaching to trumpets being sounded!

Also, worship leader Paul later told me he didn’t have a reason for this sequence of the first two songs, so Holy Spirit must have inspired it. I shared what happened to me and showed him the above photo.

And that was only the start as lots more personal aspects were to follow!!

It proved to be an especially powerful TIME TO BREAKOUT and left me feeling spaced out!!

President Trump’s testimony to Congress – Administration’s Christian emphasis

Posted on by
Reply

On Friday 5th March, William Koenig begins Eye View From The White House with thoughts and prayer for this week, “We are living in one of the most pivotal times in biblical history. It is essential that we continue to pray for President Trump—that he, along with our nation, puts Jesus Christ first….”

AMEN, and again Amen!

Then he writes on The Golden Age of America Has Just Begun: Trump’s Vision for a Renewed Nation as follows, but I cite sub-headers and the President’s testimony of God saving his life:

‘In a historic and electrifying address, President Donald J. Trump stood before the nation and declared with unwavering confidence: “The Golden Age of America has just begun.”

It was not just a speech—it was a declaration of renewal, a call to action, and a bold vision of a future where the United States reclaims its position as the world’s beacon of strength, prosperity, and unapologetic greatness.

A Nation Rising Once More

America First: Strength at Home and Abroad

A Cultural Revival: “We Are Woke No Longer”

A Call to Patriots: The People’s Movement

The Golden Age Begins Now

“The Lord Did Not Allow Me to Die”

‘And then, in the most powerful moment of the night, Trump looked out over the audience, his voice steady but filled with conviction.

“I stand before you today because the Lord did not allow me to die. He spared me for this purpose—to be President of the United States and to bring this nation back to its track.”

The room fell silent. Even his greatest critics could not ignore the weight of those words.

It was a moment of divine acknowledgment — an undeniable recognition that God’s hand had been upon this moment.

Through relentless opposition, unthinkable betrayals, and even threats against his very life, he remained standing. Not by chance. Not by the will of man. But by the sovereign hand of God.

“For such a time as this,” the scriptures say (Esther 4:14).

And so, as the dawn of America’s Golden Age begins, one thing is certain: The battle is far from over. But God is not finished with this nation yet.’

Donald J. Trump’s immediate Executive Orders issued and actions upon his return to office:

  • Common sense
  • Two genders only
  • Exclusion of trans-men from women’s toilets
  • Exclusion of males from women’s sports
  • Removal of DEI/woke policies in gov’t
  • Stopped mutilation surgery on children
  • Prohibition of anti-Christian bias
  • Protection of Christians
  • Freed jailed Pro-Life Christians
  • Christian Vice Pres and many believers in cabinet
  • Christian Press Secretary (attacked for her faith)
  • Establish White House Faith Office (as in 1st term)
  • Extends the prohibition of anti-Semitism
  • Strongly supports Israel + Christian ambassador
  • HUGE exposure of gov’t-wide corruption and fraud
  • First Cabinet meeting opened in prayer (televised live).

I couldn’t expect upon Trump’s first running for office along with my musing upon the Lord starting to expose rot and corruption deep in political systems, that 105 months later as US President, he would command government-wide financial disclosures!
So…

SUCH FUN WTH THE LORD…here’s today’s most promising kick-off:

Now to continue from the previous post, which closes:

“…Watch and Pray, I say!

Do not be like the foolish virgins who missed the hour of visitation — but like the wise, trim your wicks and fill your lamps with oil (Matthew 25:1-13) — for these will be known as the best and worst of times.

Ha! For many will be in shock and awe at the rise and sudden fall of many kings and rebellious Nations, which will pave the way for My Righteous Remnant of Daniels, Deborahs, Esthers and Davids — who are called and anointed to build and establish My Kingdom Government in a time of great economical and political turmoil and crisis!”

This confirms my disappointment with those who won’t seek the Lord direct and heed Him or his prophets to understand what’s happening today, as though disobeying the Lord’s command to “Occupy ’til I come!”  (Luke 19:!3 KJV)

11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, ‘Occupy till I come’.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us…”

Now a personal prophecy of 16 years ago, as in this extract from post linked below, (published 15.5.2015):

‘Six years ago (2009) Isabel Allum, the well-known teacher of prophecy, discerned it and thereby validated my decision 3 months earlier to write regularly because of an insight on the Bible (The ‘Endgame’ is Now in Play).

Forgive me for being so personal. It’s the first time of publicly sharing this, not to boast but to answer the above kind of question which readers’ may rightly entertain. In part, the prophetic insight Isabel brought us was as follows (with her emphases):

“…And I heard the Lord saying brother, you are a man of wisdom…He’s coming to release a new level of wisdom in you that far surpasses the wisdom of man and He’s going to make you a man of…

“And I heard the Lord say, an impartation like Daniel had is going to come into you and you will start understanding the ‘riddles’ of the Lord in a different way – the gift of interpretation itself as Daniel and Joseph had is going to come to you and God is going to open up your understanding to hear from heaven, not necessarily to understand the way men do but you will see; like Joseph said, interpreting dreams is God’s business not man’s business and dreams from the Lord cannot be interpreted through symbolism or analysis, only through revelation….”
