Being challenged by our church leader and others on Donald Trump’s apparent lack of Christian principles, I began to gather my thoughts on what I’d learned through William Koenig’s reports as an accredited Christian journalist in The White House. The result was a short series launched a few days before the US 2020 presidential election, the first of which I’d encourage your reading via this linked image:

Friend or Foe of the Bridegroom? – Tony Puccio
Meanwhile over in Arizona, Tony Puccio posted this today in his Dreams and Visions. It is truly MOST apposite because only two days ago in an online chat with our breakfast bible group, I referred to Jesus’ parable of the virgins awaiting His return for the Bride. Tony writes,
‘While at Tuesday night prayer I was shown a vision where I saw the Lord standing with a grieved look upon His face. The vision that follows is taken from John:
John 3:26-29 (NKJV) 26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified—behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!”
27 John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, I have been sent before Him.’ 29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.
In addition to seeing the Lord I saw a bride in a wedding dress ready to be married to her bridegroom. However, this was not the case because I saw her – Christ’s ekklesia – going from pulpit to pulpit dancing with various pastors, the supposed friend(s) of the bridegroom, but not with the one she is betrothed to! Those dancing with her, the bride, are not friends but foes according to John’s gospel. The bride is enamored by men, i.e., individual personalities, and not with the One she should be enamored with. When prayer began I heard the Lord say, “I want My Church back”. If you are a pastor reading this post it should grieve you as I felt the Lord’s grief upon seeing the vision.’
Prophetic pointers and words on Iranian president’s death – Amanda Grace
Amanda Grace streamed live on Monday 20th May:
Transcript at 13:34 time-point:
“Now for the main event of the evening guys. My phone was blowing up yesterday as this was unfolding, and so when I went back and looked at what was prophesied. Well my jaw kind of dropped – and you have that ‘oh dear God’ moment in your flesh for a moment when you see it – but there is some very serious prophecy fulfilling right now in the earth and in Iran. But I believe this prophecy fulfilling is going to begin to change the landscape of Iran which is going to affect the entire Middle East!”
Prophecy script as published in Amanda’s Ark of Grace website (click title)
“Before we get into prophecy–I am going to point out 3 events leading up to this.
Keep in mind this is happening within this 50-day window that starts at Passover and goes to Shavuot on June 11, 2024, where the Jews received the law.
50 is the jubilee, and it was the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War in October 2023 when Iran’s proxy Hamas brutally attacked Israel.
It was October 7, 2023, when the attack happened, May 2024 is the 7th month since the attack and the start of the war.
The foreign minister and 7 others are dead, there is that number 7 AGAIN.
50 is the jubilee, where captives are set free, what was stolen must be returned, and land must be given back to the people.
BIG BEN FREEZING THE 1ST FULL DAY OF PASSOVER APRIL 24 2024
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13344577/Big-Ben-Westminster-clock-stops-working.html
Big Ben’s hands freeze at 9 am for more than an hour before the famous clock sounds the wrong number of bongs in a major malfunction two years after it was refurbished.
I not only did a Live broadcast after this happened, but I did a short that is up on all our platforms.
And, I said when Ben stops (Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin)–Judah begins (David was from the line of Judah). I also shared that this was a sign warning of a major changing of the guard that was about to happen throughout the earth.
Also, because you cannot make this stuff up, right before the Kentucky Derby, on May 4, 2024, a horse is injured and taken out of the race. This horse’s name was No More Time!
Ben stops, and then NO MORE TIME is taken OUT OF THE RACE!!
5.17.21 [US date-style; May 17th]
“The funneling of funds the channels that make a tunnel from Iran to Hamas shall be disrupted says the Lord of Hosts, and the advisors to the Ayatollah shall be struck. There shall be leadership in the hour, for this is a tipping point says the Lord, shall be weighed and unexpected strikes to leadership of those who threaten Israel, of Canada, and of the US, watch Germany as well says the Lord in this hour.”
6.9.22
“And says the Lord of Hosts, Israel is about to make a very BOLD MOVE AN URGENT MOVE AND IRAN SHALL HAVE ONE OF THE LARGEST HITS AND LOSSES IT HAS EVER HAD AS THEIR WEB SHALL BE HIT IN ITS CORNERS AND TORN DOWN, SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS. WATCH AND SEE AS IT ERUPTS ON THE NEWS AND LEAVES IRAN IN A VERY VULNERABLE POSITION. JUDGMENT HAS COME TO THE HOUSE OF THE AYATOLLAH AND ENTERED ITS HALLS, SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS.”
2.10.23
“And says the Spirit of the Lord this day, the leadership of Iran is on a crumbling pedestal and the innocent blood they shed is being accounted to them for their wage for their bridge is about to fall down for the people are desperate and crying out, I the Lord hear their cries and I the Lord am moving upon my firstborn to covertly assist the people of Iran as leadership shall be removed under mysterious circumstances as some deep within in the government of Iran are assisting Israel, the Bonhoeffer’s, who see the sheer evil of such leadership. I the Lord am protecting them and they are assisting Israel for a BIG STRIKE AND BLOW IS COMING AND IT SHALL RATTLE THE UN HOW SUCH WAS DONE AND CHINA SHALL PUFF UP ONCE AGAIN AND BE HIT IN THE CORE THAT DEFLATES AND DECOMPRESSES THEM YET AGAIN.”
2.26.23
“I, the Lord thy God, made the Philistines bow, I, the Lord thy God, made Israel bow. I, the Lord thy God, am beginning to break the back of Ayatollah, because Iran will bow. And I, the Lord thy God, am raising up a plan and a strategy in Israel that is going to surround Iran on all sides. And it is going to encapsulate them, says the Lord. It is going to encapsulate them and it is going to cause the handshake that was seen with a red nation to be severed and broken, says the Lord. Because demons squabble, says the Lord, demons squabble and you shall publicly, says the Lord, see that squabbling begin.
For I am calling through the darkness and the noise, Benjamin, son of my right hand. I am calling through the darkness and I am going to cause you to turn to my Word and to know in whom your salvation is. And he shall know it and at some point in his life he shall declare it, says the Lord. For he is coming under that yoke and he will be the ox for me, says the Lord, that topples the regime of Iran. He shall be the ox for Me that helps plow (sic) the fields in America. For your nation is meant to be a friend and a brother to Israel. And that needs to be reconciled in this season, says the Lord. For they have attempted to separate it, they have attempted to sever the relationship and destroy it. And in this season, by My balm, I, the Lord, shall begin to soothe the wounds and the boils that are broken out and heal that relationship. And those that want to be Sauls and go after their own people, you shall fall by your own sword in this season. You shall, You shall. For you have turned to the way of Cain.”
4.19.24
It was the 6th hour that darkness came over the whole land.
It is the 6th month since the war started in October 2023, in the 6th month darkness comes over the land of Israel, and Iran fires over 300 drones, rockets, and missiles at Israel. 331, 331 in Hebrew represents Emmanuel which means God with Us!!
Now, in the 6th month darkness has come over the land, when Jesus Yeshua was on the cross it was in the 6th hour that darkness came over the whole land.
Darkness came over the land until the 9th hour (3:00pm) the 9th plague over Egypt was DARKNESS.
The 6th plague over Egypt in Exodus 9:8-9.
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from a furnace and have Moses toss it into the air in the presence of Pharaoh. It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on men and animals throughout the land.”
DARKNESS coming over Iran in the 6th month since the war, the 6th hour.
The 6th plague was boils breaking out in the land, watch for this as well.
If we are in the 6th month of this war in Israel and it’s April, then July would be the 9th month (the 9th hour). July 4th in America is when we gained our Independence from tyranny.
May is the 7 month–7th hour that darkness is over the land.
4.22.24
“And the Spirit of the Lord says this day! Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed for I AM your God, behold I will strengthen you, I will uphold you with MY righteous right hand says the Lord of Hosts. Be ready MY children, gird up your loins in an hour of tumult, and shaking, and prideful rebellions rising in the earth, leaders saying in their hearts I will ascend as high as the heavens, I will destroy the nations who call on the name of the Lord, in their hearts, they have entertained such a pious position says the Lord. Thus says the Lord pride cometh before destruction and a Haughty Spirit before a big fall says the Lord, for serpents, have risen up for a strike, the prince of Persia, that spirit has risen up in a rebellion to stir the people of that land says the Lord.
Thus says the Lord, the rise shall bring a hard fall for the Ayatollah’s court says the Lord for the courts of nations that have welcomed the persecuting spirit in and have entertained its offers says the Lord, those nations in this time are set to be threshed says the Lord.
Thus says the Lord, the underground church in Iran, your shackles are about to come off says the Lord, your redemption draweth nigh says the Lord, call unto ME people of Iran for your leaders are bringing your nation under a curse, WOE unto them says the Lord WOE unto them, WOE unto their meeting with Russia, Woe unto Russia says the Lord, you trifle too close to MY LAND AND MY BUSINESS SAYS THE LORD, YOU SHALL BE ROPED AND TIED AS CATTLE FOR HOW YOU THINK YOU WILL INTERFERE YOU SHALL BE BOUND FROM GOING AS FAR AS YOU SO DESIRE, SAYS THE LORD.”
8.31.21 ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
“There shall be a very threatening and destructive statement made by the leadership of Iran during this time as that principality is stirring them up to indeed make a power grab at such a time. However, says the Lord of Hosts, the net they are planning to lay for Israel they and Hezbollah and their funders from other countries who desire for Iran to do their dirty work who desire to make Iran an extension of themselves for such destruction against other countries and peoples, so I the Lord thy God shall gut open their plan and reveal the inward most parts as 2 terrorist groups have met in secret and are looking to make a super-force of terror of power.”

Hezbollah and Hamas chiefs meet to review Israel-Palestine violence
This occurs April 9, 2023, 6 months almost to the day of the Hamas attack on Israel.”

End-times Briefing 19.1: ‘coincidental’ three signs > days of Noah, the fig tree, solar flare
There’s NO such thing as coincidence, especially when three come along, so it surely seems the Lord’s at work and hinting through ‘God-incidents’ – let’s run quickly through what I encountered in first fortnight of this month of May 2024:

When preparing to gather my End-times Briefings into a library for reference purposes I revisited what Jesus says about the sequence of events to watch out for His impending Return, as told in Matthew 24 The Signs of the Times and End of The Age (NKJV), also known as ‘The Olivet Discourse’. In particular I reread His implicit reference to a repeat of the cataclysmic days of Noah and of Lot – then noted the ‘follow ons’!
THE RETURN OF THE PREDICTED “DAYS OF NOAH”
On Monday 6th May I caught up with Veronika West’s item of the previous day, and am amazed it closes with:
“…For many will say, these are the Days of Noah that have suddenly come upon us and the Doors have been closed”…!!!
AND there’s more, relating to my reminders to why I began writing in February 2009 with The Endgame Is Now In Play, which tells of my hearing “This is ALL about to be fulfilled” open opening my Bible to check Jesus’ parable about wheat and tares (Matt 13:36-43).
So, I comment on Veronika’s Facebook as shown below:

Moreover, I’m further amused at the number of postings I cite – tagged Days of Noah – as that’s not only my birth-year but also the next numeral for the next US presidential term, 47, who is currently anticipated as being Donald Trump.

THE SOUND OF DISTINCTION & THE RISE OF KINGDOM REFORMERS
THE RISE OF KINGDOM REFORMERS IN THE DAYS OF JUDGEMENT – AND THE RISE OF ISLAM ON OUR STREETS!!
I recently released a Prophetic Word; “The bleating of sheep has given rise to the sound of Islam on your streets…”
[See January 2024 HKP Word, “The UK: A Prodigal Nation shall Turn, Return and be Restored!”]
When this Word of Warning came, I heard The Spirit say, ”Who will Sound the Sound of Distinction and Deal with the Rise of Islam on your streets?
I say, Who will Call for the Kingdom Reformers to Rise to take back the gates of the cities?
Who will Rebuild the Broken down Altars that have given legal Rights to the Ruling Principalities of Islam and Baal to occupy the land?
Who will take up the Mantle of Priesthood again? And who will take hold of the Horns of the Altar in True Repentance and Seek My Mercy for Stiff-Necked and Rebellious Nations?
Who will Worship Me in Spirit and In Truth and who among you will turn their backs on Empire Building to Build and Establish My Kingdom in the Earth Realm?
For surely I tell you, the Tables of the Money-Changers shall be overturned and the Merchandisers shall be driven out!
Watch and Pray — for Judgment has Come to The Church — and those that have pimped and prostituted My Precious Gifts in Pulpits of their own making, shall surely be exposed — and those who have come dressed as Angels of Light and Wolves in Sheep’s clothing, shall be brought into the open and stripped naked for all eyes to see!
Watch, as I shake The Church loose of the chains of wickedness and religious witchcraft!
Watch, as I shake the Houses of Government and give them ravenous wolves to lead them
Watch, as I shake Wall Street and the Babylonian Financial Structures and Systems and cause stocks to plummet and shares to tumble!
Watch, as I shake Nations and rearrange their Boundary lines!
Watch, as the Foundations of Nations rip and rupture and the waters of the sea rise and carry away the wealth and power of the wicked in high places!
I say Watch, as My Glory invades the Earth through Wind, Rain and Fire — and Listen — as the Heavens Declare the Day of Great Trouble and the Beginning of Sorrows for those who have turned away from My Righteousness and given themselves over to the Altars of Baal and Molech.
I say, cry out while your cries can still be heard!
Cry out while your tears can be still be collected!
Cry out while the sun is still shining!
But Watch and Pray — for the Day of Retribution draws near for The Nations, for the window of My Mercy is closing and the storm-clouds of My Wrath are gathering on the Horizon.
For Many will say the Days of Noah have suddenly come upon us — and the Doors have been closed!”
Blessings to you all.

Psalm 91 Global Prophecy Signals – Veronika West in Ulster (GPS 105.2)

In view of being away most of the long weekend my online times were very brief and spasmodic via phone, but it so happened I found and could share this vision Veronika received on my Fkbk timeline before reading Tony’s contribution about the same psalm via the Lord’s GPS or Global Prophecy Signalling system. Here’s the version published by His Kingdom Prophecy on Saturday 11 May:
UNLOCKING THE ANGELIC MILITARY DIVISION OF PSALM 91

Unlocking the Angelic Military Division of Psalm 91 : A Prophetic Encounter that gave greater Revelation and Understanding
Today was our second day of our early morning Ireland’s Destiny Hub May Day Prayer Call, and the Brother who was leading our time started the Meeting by reading Psalm 91.
Now like many of you, I have read Psalm 91 hundreds of times over the years, but today I was suddenly shown by The Spirit of Revelation something that blew me away!
Now, as the Word (Psalm 91) was being read aloud, suddenly I saw a realm and dimension of God’s Glory being unlocked and opened up to us, and as far as my eyes could see, I saw what looked like a mighty, powerful Angelic Military Division, standing at full Attention as The Word was going forth into the atmosphere!
I also heard these Words, ”The Military Angelic Division of Psalm 91.”
Now, as I looked at this Military Army of mighty Warring Angels, I saw that all were strategically positioned and in perfect Alignment, each Angelic Warrior having a certain rank and file within the “Psalm 91 Military Armed Forces.”
I saw that as Psalm 91 was being read aloud and released into the atmosphere, the “Living Word” became as a “Living Key”, — as a “Master Key” that brought a Supernatural Turning and a Divine Unlocking to a realm and dimension of God’s Divine Protection, Preservation and Provision within His Glory.
As I continued to watch this powerful Military Division of Psalm 91 standing at Attention at the Sound of God’s Word going forth, I knew again by The Spirit of Revelation that they were now waiting and listening for the Voice of the Governing Ecclesia to begin to Legislate.
They were waiting and listening intently for their Specific Prophetic Assignments, and for their Marching Orders, that would come through the Sons and Daughters that carried the Authority of The Key of the House of David.
Now, as I watched the Ecclesia begin to Rise and Pray, Rule and Legislate as One Governing Body, the Angelic Armies of Psalm 91 were suddenly being deployed to different Nations, to people, and even to certain premises and geographical locations.
There was a sudden Divine Deployment of the Angelic Forces of Psalm 91 being released to all areas and spheres of Influence across the land of Ireland and to Nations beyond.
Today, this powerful Prophetic encounter brought greater Revelation to me of what begins to take place in The Spirit, when we begin to speak and release The Word of God into the atmosphere.
When The Living Word goes forth, it brings a Supernatural Turning and a Divine Unlocking to “specific supernatural realms and dimensions in The Spirit” — which give us full access, and makes available to us all that is “locked up,” in that Realm and Dimension of His Glory.
Today I watched as the speaking-forth of Psalm 91 broke open and unlocked to us a deeper Realm and Dimension of Gods Divine Protection, Preservation and Provision.
It caused a Supernatural Activation which sent forth the Angel Armies of Psalm 91 with a prophetic Assignment, to clear every obstacle; to remove every stumbling block; to pull down every demonic assignment, and to deal with every demonic plan and purpose of the enemy that would hinder the Advancing of His Kingdom in The Nation(s).
The Release of the Living Word into the atmosphere became as a Living Key, having the Power and Authority to unlock and open up a powerful portal in the Spirit Realm, which gave us permission and full access to the Secret and Hidden Mysteries of God, that were embedded in that specific dimension of the Glory Realm, in order to build and establish His Kingdom in the Earth realm!
The Living Word in your mouth is a Living Key that unlocks realms and dimensions of His Glory — that gives you permission and full access to the Secrets and Hidden Mysteries of His Glory.
The Living Word of God spoken is a Living Key, having the Power and Authority of The Key of The House of David — to open and to shut!
Blessings to you all.

On Cue (q): it just so happens, draft completed and published at 17:00 BST
Good news: “Something seems to be stirring!” – Pete Greig (24/7 Prayer)
I note reference to France, as in the word Lisa Tierney heard last August and I blogged on Monday:

Pete Greig’s Facebook > Something wonderful seems to be stirring…
📷 Snapshot #1: Friday
In Hackney, East London hundreds of young people from three local churches stay up all night to pray and seek God. Al Gordon writes “I’ve never seen anything like it. There’s a remarkable sense of consecrating love setting apart the young, calling them to holiness.”
📷 Snapshot #2: Saturday
In Trafalgar Square thousands gather to hear the gospel. Many healed and saved. Evangelist Daniel Chand sums it up in one word: “Historic”.
📷 Snapshot #3: Sunday
St Aldates, Oxford where George Whitfield gave his life to Christ, is overflowing. So many young people give their lives to Christ they lose count. Steven Foster says: “It broke our systems. From the start of the service it felt like literally anything could happen and probably would. It was mostly Gen Z responding but also prison leavers and people in recovery.”
Jesus tells us to be alert to the signs of the times, but then again we need hope not hype.
And so, after 25 years of 24-7 Prayer, contending non-stop for the tide to turn, refusing to believe for anything less than revival, I am hesitant even to type these words: something seems to be shifting at last. Just when it felt like failure. When in our darkest moment we found ourselves wondering if it had all been a waste of time.
I dare to believe because this last weekend is just the latest iteration of something bigger that seems to be happening. Over Easter
– many churches reported bumper attendances.
– 12000 were baptised in France one of the most secular nations on earth
– 419 were baptised by our friends at New Life Church in Colorado Springs.
– 469 gave their lives to Christ at Audacious church in Manchester
– 116 got saved at Soul Church in Norwich
And meanwhile – beyond events, programmes, conferences and successful services – the long-term societal markers also seem to be shifting.
– Public intellectuals from Tom Holland to Jordan Peterson to Ayaan Hirsi Ali are arguing for faith in God.
– Influencers with millions of followers are professing faith – some even getting baptised.
– Columns in the Wall Street Journal and the London Times are reporting a return to religion amongst the young. The Spectator even using the (over-excited) headline ‘Revival’. [RB well-worth reading https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/a-christian-revival-is-under-way-in-britain/]
– More than 7000 school classrooms have now been turned into prayer rooms thanks to Prayer Spaces in Schools
– 25% of Australians are saying they’d accept an invitation to church and 70% that they talk to the God they’re no longer supposed to believe in!
Now if you’re reading this and thinking ‘it doesn’t feel like that where I live,’ all I can say is this:
Firstly, let’s pray! It doesn’t matter how small the spark, if you pour petrol on it you can start a fire. Pray on your own. Pray with others. Set up a 24-7 Prayer Room.
Secondly, let’s be confident in sharing our faith. There are clear signs of a growing spiritual hunger in the land – people are more open than they were to the Lord. These things always begin in certain hotspots before they spread out.
Thirdly, let’s invest in young people. The turning is most marked amongst Gen Z. Let’s not miss this moment of opportunity.
Finally, if this stirs your heart, join us at the Wildfires Festival – where we will once again be praying, thinking, dreaming and contending for the next great awakening in our lands.
The Lord is cleansing His Church of apostasy and false rainbow – Catholics against pope!

My previous posts about End-times apostasy and the return of the Days of Noah often refer to the 6-coloured rainbow as satan’s counterfeit of the real rainbow symbolic of the LORD Almighty’s first covenant with mankind (Genesis 9).
SO, let’s return to another part of the Word of 6th May He gave Amanda Grace:
“Thus says the Lord, the rainbow fabricated, twisted–corrupted is being cleansed from the church in this hour, says the Lord. The Great Purge has begun, says the Lord, for a serpent that has all the colors of the rainbow has bent itself as such and twisted around the pulpits and has slithered to the shepherds and said in their ear “Did God really say it was an abomination?” “Did God REALLY say it is a sin and perversion?” The Shepherds are facing the tree of the knowledge of good and evil again. They are facing it and the theology of the serpent has broken their theology because the SHEPHERDS WATERED IT DOWN, BUTCHERED IT, SLANDERED IT, AND FORSOOK IT FOR THE FLESH AND TO KEEP MAN IN THEIR SEATS.
AND SAYS THE SPIRIT, LET IT BE NOTED THIS DAY IN THE BOOK OF RECORDS WHAT THE SERPENT AND THE SHEPHERDS HAVE DONE THE AGREEMENT THEY HAVE REACHED. AND LET IT BE NOTED THIS DAY IN THE BOOK OF RECORDS THAT THE PULPITS SHALL BE TAKEN, THE CHURCH CLEANSED AND EVERY FOUL SPIRIT THAT HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF AT THE HEAD IS BEING WEIGHED AND JUDGED AND THOSE SCROLLS SHALL GO FORTH IN THIS HOUR INTO THE CHURCH ALL DENOMINATIONS THAT HAVE DIVIDED AND SEPARATED THE BODY IT IS GOING FORTH THIS DAY AND SHALL CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE OF THE CHURCH IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN AND SPOKEN THIS DAY AND SO SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED.
Thus says the Lord, the Vatican, smoke from their chimneys, a changing of the guard for every foul perverse spirit is feasting at their table and they have praised the gods of gold and silver, and the serpent of the rainbow, they have praised their saints and the work of THEIR hands. I the Lord have given mercy and time and in this time their altars shall be broken as well says the Lord as well as the place of MY Son who died at Calvary cleansed of its relics in this time for I the Lord am calling you back to HOLINESS.
THE STANDARD SHALL BE RAISED THE TRUMPETS SHALL SOUND THE CRIES FOR HOLINESS SHALL ENTER YOUR STREETS. REMEMBER, YOU MY CHILDREN MUST BEAR THE STANDARD AS THEY WILL ATTEMPT TO DRAW YOU INTO PROVOCATION IN THE STREETS TO LOCK YOU DOWN.”
Therefore, following years of deep disquiet in the Roman Church, note that last Friday Life SIte News reports Prominent Catholics urge bishops, cardinals-to declare Francis has lost the Papal Office if he refuses to resign. The extensive indictment introduces this exceptionally serious matter as follows:
‘A group of 17 scholars and activists have released a lengthy statement calling for Pope Francis to resign or to be formally asked to resign by the College of Cardinals.
Stating that Francis has “caused an unprecedented crisis in the Catholic Church” by his words and actions, the 17 signatories attested that the Pope has “done great harm to the Church and the whole world” since assuming the papal throne in March 2013. (Full statement is below, with a downloadable PDF here).
In a statement released late on May 2, the signatories stated that “the members of the hierarchy of the Church have a duty to act in order to prevent Francis from causing further harm.” They added:
We therefore call for Pope Francis to resign the papal office, and to repent and do penance for his actions. If he does not do this, we request that the cardinals and bishops of the Catholic Church ask Pope Francis to resign the office of pope.
If this eventually should not take place, then the signatories called on the cardinals and bishops to declare that Francis has somehow lost the papacy…’

“Italy is under My guidance but has failed to maintain the truth because of this they are overwhelmed by darkness and idolatry.
Western Australia has forfeited My anointing for atheism and this has been the enemy’s plan to cause people to lose inheritance and eternity Pray for this nation My remnant remains.
The Games that world leaders play now will be as though I do not exist, but I am He and I shall show My hand in their midst.
Global warming is not to be trusted and is a weapon of the enemy to distract and detract from the truth. Let go and move forward daughters, Son of the Most High. For in Me, there is no need to fear.
Mountains in the West that have formed alliances by man’s hand will crumble. For there is no going back only forward now,” says God.
“By next spring we shall see countless casualties South Korea and East are in arms.

Therefore My Kingdom carries, eternal salvation is for the broken in their midst.
I have called Watchman to reveal the hidden strategies of hell and to take charge of the north.

10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
12 LORD Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.

War drums are rising over nations – Veronika West

LISTEN – WAR DRUMS ARE RISING OVER NATIONS!
I Hear the Sound of War Drums Rising Over Nations!
I hear The Spirit of Revelation saying, “Listen! Who will sound the sound of distinction and who will cry out and warn the people of the destruction that is coming suddenly, swiftly and without warning?
Who will sound The Alarm to awaken the deep sleepers from their slumber?
Listen and pay attention!
For there is a Call to War! There is a Call to Roar! There is a Call to Soar!
For the Battle-lines have been drawn — and the Gauntlet has been thrown down!
I say, Watch — as My Righteous Remnant rises in the Strength and Power of My Righteous Right Arm to take it up and annihilate my enemies!
See! For My Anger has been stirred up — and My Fury burns hot and the simmering pot has now reached boiling point against The Nations that have sought to divide My Land and steal My Heritage!
HA! For surely I tell you — I will become the enemy of my enemies — and severe Judgement shall be poured out through Floods and through Fires — and My Governing Hand shall come in The Whirlwind of My Seven Spirits to scatter and to gather the spoils, and The Sword of The LORD shall fall upon The Nations, and the foundations shall shake and quake, and the ground beneath their feet shall crumble and give way to the waters of the sea!
I shall NOT be mocked!
For the darkness that covers them shall become darker still — and their eyes will be blinded and their feet shall stumble — and I will lead them into a pit of destruction and into the trap of their own making!
Listen! Fear not! For I AM in charge and will bring great Triumph out of great trouble and turmoil — and those who call upon My Name — and those who wait upon Me — shall never be confounded or put to shame!
And those who put their trust in My Unfailing Love, shall be kept safe and secure in the coming days!”
Blessings to you all.

MAYDAY! Watch for May is a marked month! – Veronika West
And then I heard, “Mayday! — Mayday! — Mayday!”
As soon as I opened my eyes and began to pray, The Spirit of Revelation spoke to me saying, ”Watch! For May is a marked month!
Listen! I say, “Mayday! — Mayday! — Mayday!” — for May is a marked month!
Awaken the deep sleepers! Set The Watchmen on the walls, and Guards at the City Gates!
I say, raise the sound of the Trumpet Call and the demonic tide will be turned — and the assignments of Jezebel and the altars of Baal will begin to fall!”
As I heard those Words, I saw a great and violent War raging in the heavens over the Nations — a fierce Spiritual Confrontation with the ruling powers and principalities of the kingdom of darkness.
I saw the Destiny of Nations being violently contended over.
I saw the next three (3) months are powerful pivotal prophetic months of great Warfare.
Then I saw the ninth month, and I heard, ”A stitch in time saves nine!”
The next three (3) months are critical months!
Our prayers will be like stitches in time (over the next three (3) months) that will save nine (9)!
I then saw powerful demonic assignments of the enemy that are going to be try to be fully implemented in the coming months of May, June and July, that will have devastating repercussions — if we as the Ecclesia, do not arise in the Power and Governmental Authority of the Key of The House of David and begin to Take Authority over every planned and orchestrated attack in the coming days!
Note : On Saturday at the HUB** during the Worship the Spirit of Revelation also highlighted the Month of July (the seventh Month) and Ezekiel 47 was brought to the fore. “As the Waters rise — so the Altars of Baal will Fall!”
There is a Clarion Call to Watch and Pray to Raise the Trumpet Sound in the Month of May and over the next three (3) months!
Let us raise our voices in True Repentance and Praise on behalf of this Nation, Ireland, and let us stand in the gap for all Nations in this pivotal Prophetic Season.
Let us agree that as we come together, we will see the demonic tide of destruction and death turned and returned to its sender!
**HUB = Ireland’s Destiny Hub
Postscript
On Saturday (27-4-2024) at our Prophetic Hub I saw snakes nests and hundreds of Snakes eggs hatching and I heard, “Serpent Sleeper-cells igniting and emerging!”
But then two Angels came into our midst with Measuring Rods and I heard, ”The Waters are Breaking — for I AM now raising up a Standard against the serpentine spirits of Leviathan!”
Then I understood that the Angels that were there, had come to usher in the flood waters and had come to co-labour with us for the Outpouring.
Then suddenly The Holy Spirit quickened to me Ezekiel 47 and I saw the waters of the River begin to Rise and all the Snakes that I saw — were being drowned!
Blessings to you all.

RB Footnote:
Veronika’s PS reference to snakes reminds me of a dream of about 30 years ago when upon seeing an adder slither through a garden and I warned a church house group leader. Then the dream changed to an office location but my desk was the old-style school desk where its sloping top acted as a lid, which I lifted only to see a nest of writhing snakes! Next, I walked to a side office and the church associate pastor handed me a dinner knife as I entered and saw two medical operating tables with a large snake strapped down on each. Both looked as though they’d swallowed a large egg and then I moved to slit open the nearer one’s throat – but awoke!!
God’s holy word on Jerusalem and His protection during Iran’s airborne attack!
The previous post refers to my learning as a non-Christian about the city of Jerusalem being the focal point of attack by Iranian elite forces – both in past rehearsals and actual airborne assault from 331 missiles and drones last Saturday evening, the close of holy Sabbath. That fact alone proves Iran approved and supervised their satanic barbarians’ atrocity at dawn on Jewish holy Sabbath immediately closing the Feast of Tabernacles.
Now, in connection with The Almighty’s eternal covenant with the Jewish nation, consider His heart, intentions and protection of Jerusalem, as given in open vision and orally to prophet Zechariah 2,500 years ago (emphases mine): Continue reading
For Info: False theology and false history
[Published upon launching public blog on 21 Nov 2011, following private emails]
A brief note further to my email on the debate on Replacement Theology. There is news from two separate sources that the Lord may be drawing this issue to the fore.
The first is found via a comment to the debate. In recent years liberal seminaries have strongly encouraged a new, non-Biblical, Palestinian form of theology through the works of Lutheran pastor Mitri Raheb and Anglican Naim Ateek.
Now, however, Raheb has denounced that error of interpretation (to be polite), as reported in Palestinian Theologian Trashes Palestinian Theology. Continue reading
The whales are coming, but watch what comes forth – Veronika West
Posted today on Veronika West (Ignite Ireland Ministry) Facebook:

…”THE WHALES ARE COMING,..BUT WATCH WHAT COMES FORTH FROM THE FOAM AND THE FROTH”…’
So I’m driving this morning and suddenly,..
…I hear these words,..”Watch, For the Whales are Coming,..I say the Whales are Coming,..for I tell you just as I sent a violent Storm upon Jonah, so I am sending a violent Storm upon My Church,..and just as I sent a Whale that swallowed up Jonah,..so I will Send a Whale to Swallow up My Church,…and even as Jonah was in the belly of the Whale for three days,..so My Church will be in the Belly of the Whale for three days,…But I say Watch what comes forth from the foam and the froth,…for I tell you the Belly of the Whale will become a Womb of Great travail that shall bring to Birth a New Kingdom Movement of Great Revival to the Nations of the Earth”..!
…I believe God is revealing something of a prophetic timeline here; (3) Days…speaks to (3) Years which takes us to 2027…
(7) Number Seven as we know has powerful prophetic meaning…(More on this later)…
BUT!….I hear a Warning from the Spirit of Revelation,…Speaking over the Church concerning Nations in The Valley of Decision,…
…”LISTEN! FOR I TELL YOU NATIONS HAVE NOW COME INTO THEIR MOUNT CARMEL MOMENT,…WATCH FOR IN THIS NEXT (3) YEAR CYCLE AND SEASON THE BELLY OF THE WHALE CAN EITHER BECOME A TOMB WHERE THE DESTINY OF NATIONS GO TO DIE OR A WOMB WHERE THE DESTINY OF NATIONS ARE BIRTHED…I SAY TO MY REMNANT; YOU CHOOSE”???

End-times Briefing 13: Book of Revelation’s importance – 10 key points
[First posted 4.7.20]
In his third annexure to Simplicity, Neil Mackereth asks and points out:
WHY IS THE BOOK OF REVELATION SO IMPORTANT?
10 KEY POINTS
1. It is the Culmination of The Bible Story. The denouement.
Could you imagine the Bible ending with the one-chapter book of Jude?
2. It Shows Jesus in His glory – As King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
So awesome that even His close friend John fell on his face as if dead when he saw Jesus. We know Jesus as prophet, teacher, priest, healer and so on – but here we see Him in all His glory.
3. It Provides Knowledge: to Defeat Misinformation. A challenge to false prophets and false doctrine.
4. It Provides Knowledge: to Help us Understand World Events. Revelation shows that God foreknew, He is in control, and His plan will not be thwarted.
Current events: Israel, 1948 and following; moves towards a new world order – a world economic system and a world governmental system.
5. It Provides Knowledge: to help us be pathfinder guides and watchmen for Israel.
6. It is a Basis for Evangelism.
It is my contention that the incredible significance and glorious wonder of so much fulfilled prophecy in the Bible, is so “undersold” that it indicates the church has been duped into veiling parts of the Word of God Any other prophetic book that was so absolutely accurate over so many events over such a long period of time, would be hailed and revered in awe and wonder by the secular world.
7. An antidote to complacency.
We now know enough to not be caught unawares.
8. Future Focus: it prepares us for what lies ahead.
Revelation tells us more about our eternal home and condition, rather than our current temporary state – more about the significance and urgency of the choice we, and all people, need to make.
9. Worship.
A book full of worship, and how to worship – 11 major songs that have inspired a multitude of hymns and choral works, songs etc.
10. Because God tells us it is Special!
It is the only book in the Bible that blesses the reader and the hearer (Rev 1:3) John wrote it as he saw it and heard it, which may account for its unusual style – he was continually being reminded to write down what he saw and heard, and then told not to change it! – Reveleation 22:18-19.

End-times Briefing 12: an overview of the Book of Revelation
[First posted 2.7.20]
Briefing 11’s Introduction to the Book of Revelation draws to a close by its author, Neil Mackereth, stating “Apocalyptic works seek to inform the reader about aspects of an End-Times drama. The grand climax of the Bible is imminent — that is to say, it could happen at any moment…” He reminds us, “The Bible explains that two absolute powers or principles operate in the universe…In the book of Revelation (and the whole Bible), God himself is the ultimate source of all that is good; Satan and his followers refuse to submit to God and are the ultimate source of evil. This ethical dichotomy underlies the conflict within the book of Revelation”.:

OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION
The Prologue provides essential information for understanding the meaning and structure of the Book of Revelation. “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place; he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.” (Rev. 1:1–2).
Apostle John conveys to his first-century readers the unveiling of Jesus. It’s something like the showing of a video of a Monarch and his court. The Book of Revelation is written for Christians who understand the language of a faith unique to Christian experience. But given the complexity of the metaphors and images, even “insiders” have difficulty understanding Revelation. However, anyone can grasp the basic message: Jesus is going to return to earth, overthrow Satan’s evil empire, reward his faithful followers, punish those who reject his Lordship, and create a new heaven and a new earth.
From the very start, it is abundantly clear that God holds the Book of Revelation to be of paramount importance.
Revelation continues with 7 letters dictated by Jesus to John for distribution to the churches at: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. The letters, which summarise positive and negative aspects of these representative churches, have stood the test of time. They were written over 1,900 years ago but signpost conditions and circumstances that continue to exist in churches today.
The pattern of the letters is fairly consistent. Each is addressed to a specific church, followed by a particular characteristic of Jesus. Then comes positive comments (none for Sardis or Laodicea) and negative comments (none for Smyrna or Philadelphia), and advice to each. The letters close with an entreaty that the readers will open their ears and hear, and with a promise to ‘overcomers’, which is different for each church.
These letters are relatively straightforward and understandable (which is not to say that we shouldn’t look for help to “unpack” their full meaning!).
From chapter 4 onwards we move into an altogether more challenging series of visions that are filled with symbolism, allegories, metaphors, imagery and other such figures of speech and apocryphal language: to try to interpret the Book literally would be to miss its meaning. Some scholars argue that there are seven visions each of which is linked to a matching day in the seven days of creation in Genesis (ie. that the order of events links the beginning with the end).
The timing and sequence of events can be difficult to follow. This is in part because the very act of writing things down gives them an order that may not be intended. Some of the actions recorded are clearly happening simultaneously.
I have the impression that John (Jesus’ scribe) is seeing visions on a huge scale (like vast paintings) and trying to scribble down what catches his eye, without necessarily having time to arrange and classify the information. It is clear that there are two or three sections that are digressions or parentheses from the central narrative.
Furthermore, the unusual style, which is not in character with John’s other writings, may have remained ‘unedited’ because of the very strong warning against alteration given in Rev. 22: 18-19. These verses show us again that Revelation is both unique and of huge significance: no other book of the Bible has such a ‘health warning’!
In simple terms, Revelation shows that:
- Things on earth are not right and the Church is not as it should be (Rev. 2 & 3);
- Things in heaven are right: God is on His throne and Jesus is the overseer and leader for the End-Time plan and action (Rev. 4 & 5);
- The world will suffer great tribulation for 3½ years, under the unholy trinity of Satan, the antichrist and the false prophet (Rev. 6-18);
- Jesus will return as King of kings and Lord of lords, defeat the armies of the unholy trinity and establish His rule on the earth for a thousand years. The Day of Judgement will be at the end of the millennium rule, followed by the ushering in of the new heaven, new Earth and new Jerusalem (Rev. 19-22).
JESUS WINS!

End-times Update: Days of Noah – Biden desecrates God’s two holiest days! (PPU 131.1)
I’ve not wanted to blog on this repulsive matter over the most Holy-days as it makes me feel unclean, so dealt first with Godly material this week but now need to address this as a Bible Update.
In End-times Briefing 3, signs 23 and 24 are Jesus saying – and recall the widespread wickedness of sodomy and related practices implicit in His references:
- “As it was in the days of Noah, so also in the days of the Son of Man: “They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.”
- “Likewise as it was in the days of Lot…on the day Lot left Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.”
Exposure of rampant deep evil in USA and consequential judgement must now go full throttle after Biden blatantly throws down satan’s gauntlet at The Almighty on the day’s when Christians mourn Jesus’ death and rejoice in His resurrection, on behalf of ALL humanity. I’m sure most readers will be aware of that nasty news:


So, here’s some related news items captured on Richard’s Watch and other Telegram channels and elsewhere. First, we consider the political and in the next post prophetic fulfillment and church reactions:

NB, Biden’s Proclamation shows his definite personal anti-scriptural stance. SO, Lord have mercy on him and send Holy Spirit to thoroughly convict him and bring public repentance and penance: Continue reading
How Jesus saved His own portrait…Akiane Kramarik
A truly marvellous and breath-taking account of divine intervention (7 minutes):
So what does Jesus really look like?
[First posted April 2012, revised June 2024]
Upon reading my brief review of ‘Heaven Is For Real’ did you, too, not end up wondering “What does Jesus look like?“
Whilst reading the book I was very interested to know, simply because Jesus’ face had been out of sight during my own life-changing encounter, as told herein at ‘1st Validation’.
[I’d seen ‘portraits’ of so-called ‘Master Jesus’ in New Age circles, but didn’t regard them as authentic.]
So, can you imagine how deeply stunned Todd and Sonja Burpo were whilst driving with their two children to hear their 4 year-old suddenly announce he’d heard angels – AND met Jesus?
Answering a gentle tease about what had happened to him during the emergency visit to hospital, little Colton pipes up from the back-seat and stuns mum and dad by telling them what they were doing whilst he was dying on an operating table with a severely ruptured appendix that had poisoned his abdomen.
It wasn’t so much his accurate description of what they were doing in two very different places – on the phone and praying; well, losing it with God! – that hit them. (Only much later did his father learn the finer points of how that prayer of desperation was answered!)
They had to stop at a nearby snack bar to hear again, and digest, Colton’s very quick account of what happened whilst being operated upon. As only a young child can, he described being with Jesus. Over the course of many weeks a fuller account gradually emerged, usually popping out during play times, of what Jesus looks like and of many things Colton “did and saw” during minutes, not hours, of earth time.
There was also, and more importantly, what Colton knew.
Almost all of this could not be attributed to any teaching or children’s Bible stories! The first answer to what Jesus looked like was the answer to a spiritual ‘riddle’: what’s the only thing in heaven that’s the same as it was on earth? He said straight-off, “Jesus has markers”. Huh??
His father claims Colton didn’t know about the crucifixion wounds at that age because their Weslyan church made no references to, or had any pictures of them. For nearly three years his parents would show Colton dozens of illustrations depicting Jesus but they all left him cold. He never saw one that he thought was right. He just could not recognise Jesus in any pictures.
One day Todd came across a CNN report of a young girl Akiane Kramarik, a child prodigy who began painting exceptionally sophisticated artwork at the age of 6 years! A couple of years previously she’d begun having ‘visions’ of heaven, even though both her parents were atheists! The authors of ‘Heaven Is For Real’ write, ‘Slowly her mom began to accept that Akiane’s visions were real and that, therefore, God must be real’.
Todd writes, ‘As I watched a montage of Akiane’s artwork play across my computer screen, the narrator said, “Akiane describes God as vividly as she paints him”! (p 143)
That was similar to how Colton spoke of Jesus – both children spoke especially about His beautiful eyes. So Todd told Colton to come and take a look, asking what was wrong with this one. The boy said nothing, just stared, and he was asked again – still silence and then he got nudged:
‘My seven-year-old turned to look at me and said, “Dad, that one’s right!”
Entitled “Prince of Peace, Resurrection”, her portrait can be seen in Akiane’s Official Gallery under ‘Age 8’ and the next year shows Jesus praying, “Father Forgive Them”. To learn how she saw and painted Him read For child art prodigy Akiane, Jesus is for real.
Below, Ray Downing demonstrates how the picture Colton saw matches the image of the deceased Christ as captured millennia ago on The Shroud of Turin.
Also, you can watch Colton at 11 tell his story on video on Heaven is for Real Ministries. APRIL 2024 – Tim Shey comments with another interesting pictorial comparison: “Richard: I just discovered this today. The video is 3 minutes 55 seconds. Reminds of that scripture: ”in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.” (Matthew 18:16)
I say, amen, to what Jim Caviezel wrote on his Facebook page. Reminds me of this quote: “Though swordless, these soldiers of Christ fought the might of imperial Rome and won . . .Unlettered they unblushingly declared the whole counsel of God and eventually staggered the intellectual Greeks.” –Leonard Ravenhill”

Do you know Jesus yet?
Following the previous post on what’s claimed to be contemporary observations by Pontius Pilate of Jesus Christ, I must ask – do you know Him yet? IF you don’t, and want to discover who Jesus really is then run this 3 minute clip.:
But before that, you may be asking, Is there a God?
Click on that question-link to a site helping us think about whether or not God exists, and wherein Eric Hatfield challenges with questions and information upon which firm answers can be based. For example, his blog’s post of 19 Aug ’12 introduces an in-depth consideration of claims for miraculous healings, as on this search.

This brief book review of Heaven Is For Real tells of a child’s encounter with Jesus and a follow-up confirms Colton’s memory and shows what Jesus really looks like.
Finally, or firstly(!), listen once again to Dr Shadrach Meshach’s Lockridge’s wonderful way with words as he describes where God came from and asks “Do you know Him?” – then he tells us about Him.:
