The Lord is going to get His Church back! (GPS 98) – Chris G Bennett

From Rotherham, Chris G Bennett almost simultaneously, and thus God-incidentally as a ‘global prophecy signal,’ CONFIRMS my thoughts upon being appalled when entering Winchester Cathedral after 11.00am yesterday, Tuesday 12th September.

Tuesday is market day in a nearby local East Hants’ town but Nina was interested in checking out a place where I’d walked whilst she was attending a choral workshop on Abba songs – they sounded splendid!  After wandering alongside the River Itchen we went for coffee in the cathedral’s Visitors’ Centre and then strolled by the cathedral and I decided to see what I may be able to see inside.

Inside the main door the nave is roped-off to the right but ahead, down the northern side-aisle is a kiosk to pay for entry (worship times free). Pay to enter our ‘Father’s House’ – supposedly a haven for prayer! Whatever does Jesus think of this? I recalled His outrage and overturning money-changers’ tables in the Jerusalem Temple and looking into the nave I got the distinct feeling of it all being a ‘dead’ place! So a minute after entering I walked out!!

AN hour later, we returned for lunch and after having finished were pleasantly surprised by Nina’s daughter turning up during a school visit. As the two of them queued at the servery I got nudged to turn my phone on to check for any reaction to Verse for Today Phil 4:4 but up popped the above image from Chris Bennett that he’d posted an hour earlier.

It speaks right into and expands upon my impression inside the Cathedral. Here’s His Kingdom Prophecy version:

THE STORMING OF THE CHURCH 

Last night, as He has done recently, The LORD came to me with both Words and Vision.

As a friend heard — and I subsequently also heard — “I want My House back!”

It was loud — it was firm — The LORD was obviously not looking for a discussion. Rather, like a General addressing the Troops, He was giving us His Agenda — and expected results!

Then this morning, I heard, this time just by me, “I AM taking My Church by storm!”

This is a slightly unusual thing to hear, so I pressed in for more. Here is what I heard and saw last night and today.

When Jesus cleared the temple, in John 2:13-17, He spoke about His Father’s House being a ‘House of Prayer and a den of thieves’, and He took The House back by storm — using nothing but a His Authority and a whip!

I saw a great shaking coming upon the modern Temple, The Church, and I saw The LORD taking His House back — by storm.

Church, there is a new storm coming — it’s ‘clean up time’ and The LORD is bringing a new ‘whip’ with which He will clear the sin from His House!

No more will ‘commerce’ exist within The Church.

No longer will it be a place of entertainment!

The Church shall be what it was always intended to be — a Holy House — a place where The LORD is revered and respected rather than a place of community and fellowship where God is coincidental to the business model it has devolved into!

Prayer has always been the ‘engine room’ of The Church, but it has always been a ‘weak, two stroke lawn mower engine where a powerful V8 tractor engine is needed’.

Incidentally, this explains much about the condition of The Church in these times!

No longer!

The LORD is planting seeds of Love —The Love of Prayer — back in His Church!

There will be an urgency to start 24/7 prayer rooms where people can come to pray and where, usually, a prayer team is always on duty.

I see daily intercessor groups’ Prayer Meetings being raised in importance, making a place for God’s Glory to manifest, and I see us carrying The Glory from the Prayer Meeting into every Service or Meeting!

Daily church-life will equate to our daily lives — even young families will have or find the time for prayer together.

In short, I see The Church coming to its knees to worship The LORD — in Prayer!

Yes, PRAYER IS WORSHIP, and everyone will join in the soaking/ worship/ listening to God for His “Word for the Day”!

I see His Presence bringing Healing, Prophecy and Encouragement on a scale never before experienced by The Church, as The LORD cleans it, sifts it, and prepares it first for revival, then as His Bride.

It’s Glorious!!!

I Love it, and I, for one, cannot wait to be used as part of The LORD’s end-time Remnant Church.

Oh HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH \o/

Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.” John 2:13-17

A prophetic word on “My Church of England” per Ezekiel 16 – Revd Christopher Wickland

Earlier today a notification prompted me to check Christopher Wickland’s Facebook in view of comments arising on the following prophetic word posted yesterday. Although a sad, salutary admonishment, it serves as a ‘coincidental’ confirmation of the second part of my postings on Jesus’ words will never pass away, and which covers the Anglican General Synod under the heading ‘Therefore ditch what He does NOT says!’  (Yet again ‘coincidentally’, my birthday number 22 suggests it’s timely.)

OH MY CHURCH OF ENGLAND (Prophetic Word)

Based on Ezekiel chapter 16

Church of England, I remember the day you were born. You were born from blood, heartache and treachery. You were despised by many at your birth, even in this green and pleasant land. Yet I saw you in your infancy, in your nativity and I took compassion upon you. And when I passed by you and saw you in your blood of birth I said, “Live! Yes I said to you in your blood, “Live!”

I caused you to multiply and grow in strength, in honour and dignity. You grew in stature before Me, you became beautiful and regal in this land. A beautiful Amethyst set in green clover. You were Mine and I was yours. Through you this land was blessed, this land was safe, I was pleased to call you My church. You excelled in your beauty and became the honour of kings, queens and the mighty.

I clothed you with embroidered work and dressed you with fine linen and covered you with silk. I decked you with ornaments and I put bracelets upon your hands and a chain upon your neck. I gave to you the privilege of anointing kings and queens. I bequeathed to you great honour, riches and prestige.

However, in time you trusted in your own beauty and strength. You became proud and pompous and slowly but surely you turned your back on Me. You played the harlot because of your renown. You took the gold, the silver and the jewels I gave you and made for yourself images of men and did commit harlotry. You have set my oil, incense, flesh and blood before a profane altar. You have abandoned Me in pursuit of your own glory instead of promoting Mine.

I have heard your profane prayers, I have seen your abominations and wickedness. You have forsaken Me in your pursuit to hunt down power, influence and lovers. I have to call you what you are, you have become a harlot before Me.

However, there are many who have not defiled and soiled their garments within you, there are many who grieve over you. There are many who have cried, travailed and prayed to Me on your behalf. To those who have remained faithful to Me I say this, “Because of you and your intercessions, I will relent from a full chastisement to the Church of England.” You will see some painful days coming as My chastisement is worked out. I will half her strength and greatly humble her. She will lose her position of honour for a season.

I will leave a remnant, those who love Me, who will not leave her but endure her pains as their own. I will leave her as a stump, but in time she will return to Me and fresh branches will grow and she will again increase in might. I will then turn to her and restore her and will love her again and be pleased to call her My church.

For thus says Adonai, the LORD, I shall deal with you as you have done, you who have despised the oath you took before Me. Nevertheless I shall remember the oath sworn by those previous and I will remember you and look kindly upon you as I did at your nativity. I will remain faithful to those who have remained faithful to Me.

Finally to My faithful, be strong, be courageous and endure the chastisement, set your faces like flint and look for the joy set before you. You will see the harlot become true again and I promise to restore her and be pleased to call her My own in the days ahead.

RB Footnotes:
  • A cleric reminds Christopher of Jesus’ instruction to avoid judging and thus first remove the plank from one’s eye (Matt 7). I note “We are to correct our brethren who fall into apostasy, are we not?” (Am not one for citing verses but recall ‘All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness’ – 2 Tim 3:16 – and this prophecy is based upon Ezekiel 16, ‘Jerusalem as an Adulterous Wife’; NIV)
  • Personally, although brought up in Catholic church my heart is for ALL churches to follow our Lord Jesus closely and we attended an Anglican parish church presided over by a couple of Spirit-led ministers. However, when Archbishop Welby failed to stand upon scripture some years ago, thereby allowing demonic access-rights, we moved to a Bible-based church. Not long afterwards three couples followed us.

Latest examples of the Great Apostasy in Britain – Holy Writ on eunuchs

Further to the prophetic word on the Great Apostasy let’s not overlook Apostle Paul’s insight recorded in 2 Thessalonians 2: and 1 Timothy 4:

“Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of [a]Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition…”

Now the Spirit [a]expressly/explicitly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of  demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth….”

Now, some screenshots with extracts and links of latest three examples on this ‘falling away’ before we check what Isaiah and Jesus say about eunuchs:

The Great Apostasy of The Church – Revd Christopher Wickland

As 60th posting on this topic it’s not new to my regular readers and it connects into my coverage of satanic strategies, of which apostasy is a major one alongside anti-Israel and removal of the Jewish people from Jerusalem – hence, none for Jesus to come back there for!

Upon reading the following by Christopher Wickland on Tuesday it struck a chord on my ruminations upon Sunday’s Verse of the Day, as shown above.  Here’s the Lord’s follow-on via Christopher:

The end, but not the end of the established churches:

“The end has come for my people; I will never again overlook their offences. When the time comes, the songs in the temple will be wailings,” says Adonai ELOHIM. “There will be many dead bodies; everywhere silence will reign.” (Amos 8:2-3)

“Oh apostate church, you who have left the anchor of My Truth. You who are cowardly at heart and weak-kneed. You who spin and capitulate to the dance of the world.

Oh apostate church, some of you used to be Mine, whilst others never loved Me. Why did you turn from Me? Was I not good enough for you and to you? Yet I hear you say, How Lord have we turned from you? We still honour you, we still call ourselves by your Name.

Oh apostate church, you honour Me with your lips, but your heart is far from Me. You pay lip-service to Me, but deep inside your heart is rotten to the core. You break My heart with your ways, the ways of a harlot. You look to the world for your so-called just causes. You seek them out and flirt with them like a harlot seeking a lover.

Do you think I delight to speak like this? Do you think I want to talk to you like this? You trample on My Word as though it were trash. You twist it, break it and render it null and void with your hypocrisy and so-called wisdom.

I have given you time to repent of your deeds. I have allowed you much grace and many days for you to change. My heart is that you would change and turn from your wicked ways and come back to me. Although you are apostate, I still yearn that you would turn back to Me and follow My truth.

The time for your sins is almost up, the bowls filling up are almost complete. Yet I am calling Time on you now.

I will not allow your ways to further influence and infect My weak ones in the faith. You will no longer be permitted to gain more converts to your cause. You profane My sabbaths, you profane My Word, you profane the buildings which are devoted to Me with your harlotries and adulteries.

Therefore, I will make a sign of you to the nations. Many will shake their heads with shock and disbelief. You will be a proverb and a byword of warning to those around. I will not tolerate the sins of Jezebel in my church any more. Therefore, I call Time now on all Jezebel churches that claim to be of Me but are not.

It breaks my heart that I now have to call Time on the established institutions that claim to be of Me on this land of Britain. I will chastise you and great will be your pain. I will do to you what you least expect, I will pull your strength and your power away from you. You who have the ear of power will be rendered mute. If you can no longer speak for Me and My Truth, then you will not be permitted to speak at all.

I see those within you who are Mine: I have marked them and I see them. One day, some of those marked ones within whom you have marginalised and silenced, will come back and be the ones I use to raise your institutions back from the grave.

As for you apostates who lead My people into error: your Time has been called.

I know very well what you are up to. I see your heart even though you think I do not. You will all fall, and none shall remember you. Your names will not be great as some of you have hoped. No, I will make you forgotten, like smoke in the wind.

I speak now to those whose hearts have been rent and broken over My apostate ones. I have seen your tears and heard your many prayers. I have seen how you stood up for Me even when it cost you so much. I want to comfort you My people with these words. Firstly, you are remembered and your names are written in heaven for being those who stood up for Me and My Word.

Secondly, I will bring back that which you love so much. Yes, there will be a season of chastisement and I will rid the institutions of those wicked men and women. But night will pass and dawn will rise and healing will be in My wings and I will heal and resurrect that which I put down. I will bring back that which you so love and so cherish.

I love you My people, I love you with an everlasting love. Stay true to Me, keep your ways straight. I will never fail or forsake you. Just remain true to Me, for I am a jealous God and I will have no others before me. For those who have ears to hear, let them hear what is being said to the churches.”

UK prophet confirms ‘word’ heard on End-times shakings!

When a friend asked my opinion of the transcript below, I was pleasantly surprised  to find that pastor Christopher Wickland confirms two personal prominent prophetic items, as shared in my Footnote below.

First however, let’s recall the importance of precedence of authority in the Holy Spirit gifting of prophecy, as follows:

  1. Bible End-times Prophecies
  2. Modern, contemporary prophecy
  3. Opinion, comment and discussion.

The following auto-generated transcript (hence continuous text) copied into Facebook, is kindly provided by Susie Pope to Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival and I’ve added a few sub-heads for ease-of-reference.

Note that this is a lengthy conversational presentation rather formal discourse.

CHRIS WICKLAND – COLLAPSE OF POLITICS, ECONOMIES AND CHURCH, PLUS WARS

“My name is Pastor Chris Wickland and I want to share with you some visions and dreams the Lord has given me a long time ago that I’ve never shared publicly with anybody but I feel now is the time to do so and it’s pertaining to things regarding the End of the Age which is not quite yet, but we’ll be soon and I’ll I’ll unpack that and explain that. So today’s date is the 15th of February 2023. Continue reading

How ‘jigsaw piece’ on Romans 1 & 2 plugs into prophecy-related news (GPS 96.3)

The first part of GPS #96 recounts how I was stunned by the timing of invisible jigsaw-pieces of scripture and events, including a video and timing of a prophetic word therein and its connection into another verse. In closing, I mention already putting more pieces  that had fallen into place.

I apologise if thus far has been rather puzzling, but this part will clarify the picture – much like completing a real jigsaw-puzzle. In GPS #96.1 we looked at 5 pieces but maybe not realised how they fit together, and especially into unspecified others.

The third puzzle-piece was Tim Shey’s comment to A ‘Biblical’ Operation, not just national but a global clear-out! about an Elijah Streams interview, to which he gave a link. The title struck me strongly as we’re at the 7th anniversary of my blogging on exposures of political rot as a result of a prophetical prompting on reading about investigations being started into presidential candidate Donald Trump’s finances!

Moreover, that has now come to the boil in Congress over interference in the 2020  presidential election in last week’s posts eg. Overdue Unravelling of Global Cabal’s Conspiracy, followed by this week’s publication of Special Counsel John Durham’s Report into the FBI’s role in the Russia-collusion hoax.

I’m well aware of the preferred practice of bringing prophecy that is encouraging and uplifting, especially so for the church and believers, and Saturday’s group discussion on Paul’s injunction in Romans 2 to avoid judging others who are heavily into sin described in Romans 1.  (Yet his caveat is to those believers who still practise those deep sins.)

Nevertheless, I was considering whether or not my blogging stance is correct and of the Lord. But as well as the confirmatory title of puzzle-piece 3 (as shown below) bringing an endorsement of exposures, it also gave specific confirmation of my being on the right track:

Click here to play video in a new window. This fascinating interview begins at 6:00 mins  but we’re particularly interested in the ‘God-incidental’ start time at 11:33 (ie. matching Wednesday’s Verse of the Day, Romans 11:33, as in GPS #96.1). Here Andrew refers to having asked the Lord on New Years’ Eve 2020 about the upcoming year.

“That night I did have a dream; it was the morning of January 1st (and in which) I stood before a gathering of Christian believers (and) addressed them saying, “I am so thankful that God has heard my prayer (which was the night before) asking for His word on 2020, for the Lord has given me things that we need to know will BEGIN in 2020.”

So notice it wasn’t “will be fulfilled” but “will begin” in 2020. (In the dream) I looked down in my hands and realised I’d been give a piece of paper…and began to read aloud what was written on the paper. I began by saying, “This list was given me by the Lord in a dream”…. 

A brief discussion ensues between Steve and Andrew and at 35:00 he continues, “Then I began to read what was given me on the paper but first I said,

“God will begin to reveal Himself in a manner that modern Christianity is not too familiar or comfortable with, for He will begin to show Himself as Judge and the God of Wrath!

Judgements against the works of darkness and those unyielding from their evil are coming!”

That’s what I said in the dream. At this point in the dream I understood that much more would be unfolded to the Church about the nature of The Judge. I also knew that this manifestation of God’s nature was key – and this is interesting to me – His nature as Judge and God of Wrath is KEY to seeing the fullness of Revival and Awakening come into the earth.

I was reminded that scripture says ‘For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, to destroy the works of the devil’, but in the dream I knew that revelation of God’s nature would be employed to destroy the works of the devil. [RB: 1 John 3:8]

Next, I continued to read what was written on the piece of paper in my hand:

A new prophetic era is upon us and the balance of prophecy is going to shift. Much of the emphasis in the prophetic has been positive…I said, “God is always good, but not always positive!…In this new era general and vague prophecies will give way to specific words of revelation that will carry authority to release life AND death – in this prophetic era prophets will restore the terror and the Fear of God back into the earth!!”

Steve reacts, “Wow, restore the Terror and fear of God – that’s not something you read every day!”

CONCLUSION

Thus, we have a double confirmation of the importance of Romans 1 reference to God’s Wrath, as given by Andrew’s prophetic dream and its actual timing which got confirmed 5 days later in Verse of the Day being Romans 11:33 – and we had 5 ‘jigsaw-pieces’!

Reminder to King Charles III of his solemn pledge

Published herein 9 September 2022.

On the King’s Coronation I pray that Almighty Father, Son and Holy Spirit protect the King from the evil one, all its schemes and human slaves and unclean spirits, and come powerfully upon him, his family and Archbishop Welby. May each be Your truly born-again servants who fully adhere to Your Holy Scriptures. Amen.

Now, the original post:

NOTE THIS GOOD NEWS IN THE NEW KING’S OFFICIAL ADDRESS – PRAISE YOU LORD!

King Charles proclaims his Christian faith.

My Solemn Pledge:

“The role and the duties of monarchy also remain, as does the Sovereign’s particular relationship and responsibility towards the Church of England – the Church in which my own faith is so deeply rooted.

“In that faith, and the values it inspires, I have been brought up to cherish a sense of duty to others, and to hold in the greatest respect the precious traditions, freedoms and responsibilities of our unique history and our system of parliamentary government.

“As the Queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation.

“And wherever you may live in the United Kingdom, or in the realms and territories across the world, and whatever may be your background or beliefs, I shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as I have throughout my life…”

Extract taken from transcript provided by Sky News from their video of the Address, as shown at

https://news.sky.com/story/king-charles-iiis-first-address-to-the-nation-the-full-transcript-12693814

We pray that, as for his mother the Queen, King Charles will be anointed with holy oil during his coronation and that Holy Spirit bring him into full true repentance and enable the new king to be a real disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ and leave behind all activities and schemes contrary to the Kingdom of God. That is, a full renunciation of the works of satan.

The Lord’s warning to false prophet ‘Em-Pyre’ builders – Veronika West

Veronika posted on Wednesday on Facebook’s Ignite Ireland Ministries a warning of exposure with churches:

As on His Kingdom Prophecy as:

A WARNING TO THE EM-PYRE BUILDERS

God is dealing swiftly and severely with an em-pyre spirit that seeks to build defiled altars in his name!

The Journey of the Prophets of God into the place of Full Maturity is paved with many pitfalls and temptations.

These potential pitfalls are often times orchestrated by the enemy, but some, in my experience, have been purposefully designed and even allowed by God, not only to reveal a greater depth of the True Character of God, to keep us solely dependent upon Him, to confront our heart motives and fleshly desires, but also to expose the cracks in the foundations on which we building.

If those foundation cracks are not quickly dealt with, the entire structure will become compromised and soon come crashing down round about us.

So yesterday while I was praying concerning the Prophetic Movement at present, suddenly I heard The Spirit speak these Words, ”Daughter! Many are “em-pyre” building!

Yes! I say again, many are “em-pyre” building! For Satan has blinded their eyes to the deception of the devourer that is helping them to build.

Watch, for I tell you the Truth, Satan will help them build, only to watch them fall and never recover.

Listen and pay attention, for in this next season, Strange Fires will burn, and their man-made em-pyres shall go up in smoke!”

As I heard The Spirit speak those Words, I felt The Spirit of The Fear of The LORD come into the room, and again I heard The Spirit say, ”Watch! For I shall deal with the em-pyre spirit that is at work in My Church.

No longer will I tolerate contaminated waters, for I will expose, uncover and strip naked those who seek to build for themselves em-pyres in My Holy Name!”

Note; A pyre (Ancient Greek: πυρά, romanized: purá; from πῦρ (pûr) ‘fire’),…also known as a funeral pyre, is a structure, usually made of wood, for burning bodies as part of a funeral rite or execution. As a form of cremation, a body is placed upon or under the pyre, which is then set on fire….!

Blessings to you all.

A post-Resurrection miracle as a ‘mystery’ now revealed – part 2

[First published 2018]

His disciples came to Jesus and said, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” and He replied, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For whoever has, to him (and her) more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. Therefore, I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand…” (Matthew 13:10-13 NKJV)

Definition: ‘Mystery’, Greek musterion (moos-tay-ree-on; Strongs #3466). From mueo, “to initiate into the mysteries”, hence a secret known only to the initiated, something hidden requiring special revelation. In the NT the word denotes something that people could never know by their own understanding and that demands a revelation from God. The secret thoughts, plans and dispensations of God remain hidden from unregenerate mankind, but are revealed to all believers. In non-biblical Greek musterion is knowledge withheld, concealed or silenced. In biblical Greek it is truth revealed (Col 1:26). NT musterion focuses upon Christ’s sinless life, atoning death, powerful resurrection and dynamic ascension.’ [New Spirit-Filled Study Bible]
Prophecy: “2018: I will impart to My Prophets the ability to see clearly My Numbers…” (delivered by Leisa Ebere).

The above, ancient meaning of ‘mystery’ is rarely understood and appreciated, even by those solidly grounded in scripture. As told in my testimony, my pre-Christian life got immersed in that esoteric knowledge, and so I’m experienced in this matter and can attest that the difference between that discipline and holy revelations from the Almighty is like the contrast between His Light and the devil’s darkness.

MATHEMATICIANS’ MYSTERIES

Roger Penrose, “The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe”, Knopf (2005)

Therefore, the modern definition of ‘mystery’ as an unsolved puzzle, or something difficult or impossible to explain is comparatively trite!

Even the eminent mathematician-physicist Sir Roger Penrose tends toward a circumscribed perception of reality when using this term, as quoted and discussed in RTU’s Three Worlds, Three Mysteries.

According to its author Joseph, Penrose posits the existence of three “realms” existing around us and “which brings three mysteries” that raise interesting questions on how the world should be viewed. These realms are the physical, mental and Platonic mathematical worlds.

Of course, such hypothetical mysteries cannot equal the much deeper ‘mystery’ of revelatory scripture! Yet in positing that mathematical entities don’t belong in space or time and are eternal and unchanging, Penrose is approaching our understanding of the mathematical aspects of the Bible. His recent thoughts upon consciousness originating at a quantum level may approach ideas I’ve broached in the convergence of science and scripture.

JESUS POINTS TO MATHS

Continuing from Part 1 on Apostle John’s account of the miraculous provision of 153 large fish and the re-blog of New Zealander Joanne Rolston’s posts on it, we learn that she asked Jesus direct on why such specific details are noted. Let me quote some pertinent parts of her highly personal account:

I asked the Lord about the meaning of the 153 fish in John 21:10, and I was given a maths answer. Amazingly I grasped the explanation. Having to learn statistics in order to get my Diploma of Business helped. I had to overcome a lot to learn the math behind statistics…(including) my loathing for maths. Fortunately, I have a very patient husband who helped me with the mechanics of maths in statistics.

“But I kept complaining to God. “Why do I have to learn this?” I protested, “We’re never going to use it in our business!”

“Make friends with maths” the Lord told me. Not reconcile myself to maths, not become acquainted with maths; He wanted me to believe I could learn maths and take an interest in it! It was a big ask. In a Father’s instruction, He says;

“Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” (Proverbs 4:7)

So we read that Joanne progressed and mentions Factorial numbers and Venn diagrams as being the first things she learned in statistics. These were the basis of all the wonderful things she was later shown about that ‘action replay’ fishing trip by seven of Jesus’ disciples.

She succinctly explains the unusual significance of the 153 fish by maths of factorials and square root of the third prime number (3), as well as geometrical constructions and proofs in diagrammatic forms, PLUS their relevance to the triune relationship of God, Christ and mankind.

Now examine these facts more closely and delve deeper into the ‘mysteries of the kingdom’:

That historic catch’s mathematical meaning is a surprising shock to we moderns but, in the immense sweep of history, such intellectual knowledge was a relatively ‘recent’ development to those living in the inter-Testamental times of the Graeco-Roman world. The principal propositions, or theories and proofs, of geometry had been compiled by Euclid of Alexandria about 300 years before Jesus’ life. To give us some perspective, this is the same period since the accession of George I (1714) and the appearance of John and Charles Wesley to lead a major evangelical revival, from which was born the fourth largest church denomination in England, Methodism (in Oxford, 1729).

Fascinating Fact: the first proposition of Euclid’s Elements of Geometry is to construct an equilateral (three sides of equal length) triangle by describing a Vesica Piscis (known as ‘Vessel of Fish’!) with a pair of compasses. It’s done by drawing one circle and then a second one exactly the same size, but with its centre on the circumference of the first.

The common, overlapping area looks like a canoe and the ratio of its length to width is 265:153, which closely approximates the square root of 3 as calculated by Archimedes of Syracuse.

All three symbols, triangle and circles with intersecting segment, feature in the ‘mystery’ of the 153 fish – note the use of equilateral triangle as this will be considered another time:

It’s noteworthy that John closes his Gospel account of Jesus’ main post-Resurrection appearances with this most tantalising morsel:

‘And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.’ (John 20:30)

That statement lodged indelibly within my soul when a teenager and I determined to set on a quest to discover the fullness of Jesus’ work. A lifetime later, I learn that ‘seal’ sets the scene for the last chapter’s account of the amazing fishing expedition. That is, it is a clear signpost of the next and final miracle’s deep significance to the early Church.

UNLOCKING THE SIGN MIRACLES OF JOHN – SIGN 8: 153 FISH

Jonathan R Hill, whose above-titled book explains how ‘pi’, the mathematical ratio of circumference and diameter of every circle is found in Genesis 1:1, and that of ‘e‘ (base of natural logarithmic and base rate of growth in all growing processes), are found in John 1:1, devotes a full chapter to ‘Sign 8’, the miraculous catch of 153 fish.

Consider this summary of his main points on Sign 8:

  • It is the 8th ‘sign’ miracle recorded by John and found in his book only. First and only post-Resurrection sign-miracle and last of the eight, thus reflecting the divinity of Jesus as ‘first and last’ and the ‘alpha and omega’! (I now recall hearing Him tell me during a ministry-team prayer, “I Am Alpha and Omega” – watch for more on this later.)
  • Time and death represented in this succession by number 7 is followed by 8, the number of resurrection (a new beginning, as blogged in January), underscored by 8 resurrections in scripture other than that of Jesus.
  • Jesus’ command to cast nets from the other side of the boat, the right, symbolises and prefigures God visiting the Gentiles and taking a people for His name.
  • The Greek word ‘ekklesia’ translated as ‘church’ means nothing more than ‘called out of’. Thus, the fish being caught out of the sea reflect the characteristic of the Gentile church as those who are ‘called out of’ the world.
  • 153 is of considerable mathematical and typological significance and represents the fullness of the Gentiles.
  • Key composites of 153 are 7 (spiritual perfection), 10 (numerical completeness) and 9 (finality) because (7+10) x 9 = 153 (= 9 x 17).

Jonathan makes many more deep connections between scriptures and Sign 8 and their importance to the Church and the Consummation of the Age. Building upon the 17-rowed triangle of the number 153 displayed in Jo-Blog’s Go Fish, this is how Jonathan describes this mathematical principle (drag to enlarge, noting number 153 forms an equilateral triangle of sides 17 x 17 x 17):

CONCLUSION

From this brief overview of well-researched data we can confidently conclude that the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven include mathematical principles as an important part of its transcendental wisdom. Selah!

A post-Resurrection miracle as a ‘mystery’ now revealed – part 1

[First published 2018]

Not long after Father God brought Jesus the Messiah back from the dead by His Spirit, the One who’s the radiance of His glory went once again in search of His ex-fisherman friends. Of the two sets of brothers who’d been partners in the fishing trade on the Sea of Galilee before deserting their nets to follow a peripatetic teacher, their boss had an exceptionally severe crisis of self-confidence.

GONE FISHING!

So this ‘son of Jonah’, named Simon, decided to return to the simple life of sitting in a boat with buddies and dragging a net in the hope of getting a catch – but it proved to be an exercise in futility!

A few years earlier on that inland sea, the four fishing partners encountered and had been ‘called’ by The One to follow Him. Jesus amazed the crowds there with His teaching and had asked Simon if He could address them from his moored boat. Jesus knew the men had worked hard all night without having caught anything because, when He’d finished speaking, He told Simon to sail into deep water and lower his nets despite the fruitless night – Simon was overwhelmed by the result!  They’d got such a large number of fish that another boat was called for – then both began to sink with their massive weight!!

So Simon changed his tune. Upon hearing Jesus’ instruction he’d objected because of the poor night, yet respectfully referred to Him as “Master” – but in amazement at the fresh catch breaking nets and sinking boats, Simon addressed Him with the superior term of “Lord”; thus suggesting he was beginning to understand the status of this astonishing teacher. In the account by one of those partners, John, they’d previously met Jesus immediately after His baptism in the river Jordan and Andrew had brought his brother Simon to see Jesus, who then spoke of his identity and implicit destiny, “You are Simon son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas,” (which is translated ‘A Stone’, Petros/Peter: John 1:42).

DSCF3120

After that huge catch of unspecified quantity, Jesus called Simon into his destiny: “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men!”  That is, a fisher of men. When they’d landed their boats the four forsook all and followed Him (Luke 5:10-11).

This event would be replayed later but at a higher level when, once again, Simon will be caught by surprise! But before that, the four fishermen disciples were to become part of the twelve chosen as ‘Apostles’, who were given power and authority (Matt 10:2). And Simon was to have a personal revelation of Jesus’ real identity. He blurted out “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God,” to which Jesus responded, “Blessed are you Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but My Father who is in heaven. I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Also, he was further blessed to see Jesus’ transfiguration and hear Father speak about His beloved Son and instruct Peter, James and John to heed Him (Matt 16 and Matt 17).

Yet this same Peter later earned a severe rebuke from Jesus because, in his devotion, he was shocked upon hearing Jesus speak of His destined execution and in dismay he spoke against God’s plans!  AND then, when that dreadful event transpired, poor Peter was distraught during Jesus’ trial to hear himself thrice deny his association with Him! Even so, he was again blessed when Jesus visited, instructed and commissioned the Twelve (minus Judas the betrayer) after His miraculous resurrection from the dead.

However, Peter must have considered his thrice-denial would cost him dearly in losing his standing with his Lord. Hence, a critical crisis of self-confidence for Peter.

So, why not go back to fishing – and far away from Jerusalem?  His ex-fisherman friend John records Simon Peter as having told him and five others – seven in total – he was going fishing – and they replied, “We’re going with you!” (John 21:2-3).  In fact, Peter was heading into his own resurrection: that of his own self-worth, identity and calling!

ACTION REPLAY

John continues: ‘They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to them, “Children have you any food?” They answer Him, “No” and He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” So they cast, and were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish…

DSCF3144

‘Then as soon as they came to land they saw a fire of coals there and fish laid on it, and bread (Note:) Jesus said to them “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three, and although there were so many, the net was not broken.’

Believing readers will be very familiar with the wonderful reinstatement of Peter.  When John recognised who the man on the beach was he told Peter and, being determined to be back with Him, Peter donned his outer garment and dived fully clothed into the water and swam about 100 meters to shore.

This dear man, so like all of us as imperfect disciples, is asked thrice if he loves the Lord much more than his fellow disciples – that is, with ‘agape’ love: the unconditional, unconquerable, benevolent goodwill, as given by the Father and Jesus. Peter, rescinds and over-rights his previous thrice-denial to profess a less emphatic love (‘phileo’) that he knows he can give. In repeating His question at that lower level Jesus accepts but tests his profession further, thus giving him a threefold commission to be His under-shepherd.

[Note: ‘agape’, a word to which Christianity gave a new meaning, for outside the NT it rarely occurs in existing Greek manuscripts of the period. It means a love by choice and refers to will, rather than ‘phileo’, a brotherly love by chance and emotion – New Spirit-Filled Study Bible.]

Read more deeply, if you’ve not already done so, about the significance of the specific size of this ‘resurrection’ catch in Joanne Rolston’s 153, Signs and Symbols. In part 2 we will go deeper into them as we look into the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven…

This is Holy Week, 2023 — JRB Publications

What is perhaps significant regarding Holy Week 2023 compared with recent years is firstly this year it overlaps with the Jewish Passover that in essence was to do with freedom from slavery. Secondly, there is so much going on in the world right now that I have identified as being in the momentous category and depending how you look at it could be seen as damaging and disturbing or, if God is indeed in control, liberating because however dire things appear God is on the Throne. His plans are good; we need to seek His face. As one who blogs concerning such matters, I find it refreshing to contemplate what it is that Holy Week represents.[Continue at..] This is Holy Week – 2023 — JRB Publications

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

Luke 19 Authorised King James Version (Bible Gateway):

11 
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought 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. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 

16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 

18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 

20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 

22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 

24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 

26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

I submit that this apparently pecuniary parable refers to the Holy Spirit giftings Jesus bestows upon his followers to become apostles and disciples and upon His return an examination of their diligent application, thereby receiving further empowerment.

Modern Babylon is fallen – Johnny Enlow

Two visionary signs of the sun. (A reminder)

[Posted 16 June 2021]
Returning to my focus upon Jesus’ Return you may recall these two confirmations of my ‘nudges’:

As told in Lillian Brown’s message from the Holy Spirit to “Brace yourself. Get ready for Jesus’ soon return!”, pastor Rachel Bird mentioned having that impression some time ago and referred to visions of a supra-natural atomic bomb that her husband and I had. On the following Saturday morning Nina had an open vision that related not only to that but also to Lillian’s asking about the glory, “What will it look like?” (From 17:45 mark of her video she urges us to await God’s glory as Jesus comes closer.)

Here’s my dear wife’s example of what it may look like: Continue reading

Is Smith-Wigglesworth’s vision of UK in revival about to be fulfilled?

IS SMITH WIGGLESWORTH’s VISION, AND 50 YEARS LATER TO HIS PRAYER PARTNER, OF BRITAIN IN FULL REVIVAL FIRE ABOUT TO BE FULFILLED?

After awaking on Sunday I was reminded of the undermentioned personal event in 1997 and recalled the format of morning’s 3Counties Vineyard service is an ‘Open Morning’.

So I asked the Lord if I’m to mention this, and if so then I need clear indicators to do so. First, know that the service’s focus was upon ‘feasting and joy’, and that two ‘signs’ did come through what others brought to share:

  • One in some detail about revival from Andrew (beginning at 28 min of video) and referring to John Wimber as founder of the Vineyard movement (more later).
  • Another was brought during the unrecorded, offline period with reference to a way of reading scripture and hearing Holy Spirit speak upon 4 personally applicable points.
  • Note, that one of the moves prophesied by Smith-Wigglesworth refers to the Word and Spirit coming together and a few years ago when visiting a baptist church we were told by its powerfully prophetical pastor that the Baptist Union has come to recognise that duality as an important principle.

Therefore, it was clear I was to speak and my very condensed version of the following taken from an old email, as linked below, was received with delight:

‘At a prayer for revival meeting in 1997 on the anniversary of the Welsh revival, I had the privilege of meeting 80 years old Rev Norman James, who’d been 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 couldn’t find the words to describe its wonder!’

Passion For The Nation: Declarations for shaping Britain – 2. The Church

This is the year to see the promises of God begin to manifest, the year to see recovery and restoration. For me, I know God has been speaking about change for some time – so this will be the last “Shaping the Nation’ series for the United Kingdom in the foreseeable future. So read, declare (pray) and enjoy!

I will let you know more in a few weeksBlessings Suzanne

SHAPING THE NATION – 2 CHURCH 

History is made by the people of God, and as we move into this new season, we declare God’s people will walk in divine dominion, ruling over their emotions, thoughts and words. We declare  in every circumstance – they will flourish, under every pressure – they will be courageous, and in every victory – they will honour God.

In the Name of Jesus, in this Kingdom season, God is birthing a people who will move, not by might not by power but by His Spirit – irrespective of age, irrespective of colour, irrespective of ethnicity.  We declare as they reconnect with the covenantal call and promise given to Abraham ‘all the people’s of the earth will be blessed through them,’ and we thank Him for the Kingdom call upon this nation – to preach the gospel in the nations and to influence nations for righteousness and justice. 

We thank You Lord, that as nations shake, You are preparing a people, positioned and equipped to ‘rebuild the ancient ruins and raise up the age-old foundations.’ Isaiah 58:12

We declare, the gospel of Jesus will be spoken with clarity, relevance and the demonstration of the power of the Kingdom of God, that in this movement of God’s Spirit, many will turn to Jesus, experiencing the power of His transforming love and releasing God-given purpose.

We agree as the five-fold ministry comes into place, these men and women will be skilled and equipped in the natural, fired by a passionate love for Jesus, filled with His wisdom – that they will rise as leaders within this nation and the nations.

We decree and declare –as men and women encounter Jesus, new movements will be birthed, movements of righteousness, movements of justice and movements of mercy.

We declare God gives wisdom to those who ask, and we thank Him that as His people come before His throne, we will have eyes to see destiny and understanding of how to move forward, building again with others. 

We declare, in this Kingdom season, across the nations, there will be a harvest of righteousness alongside a harvest of souls.

RB News Note:

I’m very pleased to read that Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby reports telling MPs  who threatened him to introduce supposedly ‘equal marriage; in England:

“Obedience to God comes ahead of loyalty to county. That was not popular when I said it, last Monday night, to some Members of Parliament.” (The Telegraph front page 13th February)

Lord, may Your Holy Spirit’s conviction bring The Fear of God into all who are opposed to Your Word and Ways, just like You deeply disturbed me in revealing my post-mortem future in Hell.

Apostasy, Repentance and the Remnant Church – Chris G Bennett

In view of recent news of the anti-biblical views in the Anglican and Roman churches, proving we are truly in the End-times return of the Days of Noah prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself, this posted on Monday makes a welcome word from the Lord:

(Perhaps you may notice the ‘happen-chance’ timing  – need to count how many times it’s been happening?)  Screenshots from Facebook, text by His Kingdom Prophecy:

The LORD has once again spoken to me, and is speaking through me, about the Laodicean state of much of The Church in Britain, America, and the world today.

Lukewarmness and apostasy has overwhelmed so many otherwise sincere and earnest folk by the imposition of limitations and restrictions which, for whatever reason, The Church simply failed to oppose.

They just accepted the limitations, rolled over, and submitted to a heinous over-reaching authority that sought to strip our basic human rights to a minimum.

Add to this that much of The Church has succumbed to worldly pressure to accept every ungodly, unbiblical vision of ‘inclusiveness’ in The Church.

I gave voice to this quite simply when I said this to a friend today, “Sadly, over the last three years in particular, much of The Church has abdicated all responsibility for preaching the gospel and even for actually being The Church as she was meant to be!”

There is only one way forward — Repentance and Renewal! There is only ONE Way, only ONE Church, only ONE Gospel, only ONE Word, and ONE Blood.

No other way will do. No other Gospel, Word, or Blood.

The Remnant Church, drawn from all denominations of believers, must lead the way in this; must turn The Church from her wicked apostate ways back to the ways of The LORD.

Yes, there needs to be a major, major movement from the few to lead the many back to the faith of the generals through the centuries.

Back to the God revering, Bible believing Church as she was always meant to be. Back to preaching the unashamed Gospel of Jesus Christ, Him crucified dead and risen, His atoning Blood, forgiveness of sins, and a life pleasing to God rather than one pleasing to man.

The Church must once again say,

“I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the Power of God for Salvation to everyone who believes.” Romans 1:16

The Church must once more preach,

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only SON, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have Eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.” John 3:16-17

And The Church must teach,

“And when I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come as someone superior in speaking ability or wisdom, as I proclaimed to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I also was with you in weakness and fear, and in great trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in Demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of mankind, but on The Power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 (Emphasis all mine)

The gifts and baptism of the Holy Spirit must once again become prominent in the Remnant Church all around the world.

I prophesy that not only is this already beginning to happen, but it will continue to happen until The LORD returns for His bride.

The army of God here on earth is not defeated, and never will be, but is returning in power in order to bring great glory to her King.

A New Unity – Chris G Bennett

This prophetic Word-cum-vision of Chris G Bennett published yesterday harmonises so well with the in-depth article pastor Thomas Harry wrote a few weeks ago, New Church Wineskin for 2023 & Beyond, plus some pointers in the Footnote. Here’s Chris’ posting courtesy of His Kingdom Prophecy:

A NEW UNITY

Everyone talks about unity in terms of denominations. It’s been tried and failed abysmally for years, although a remnant of the so-called Ecumenical Movement still lives on even today.

The LORD just showed me a slightly different viewpoint on Unity.

Suppose, just suppose, there came a movement towards a greater unity of doctrinal beliefs — still retaining denominational fences — heaven forbid we should ever do all those power structures out of business!

Sounds crazy, a total contradiction of terms, doesn’t it? After all’s said and done, nearly ALL denominations were founded on doctrinal arguments.

The fact remains that, in the first century, the Church was one Church, with all their issues. It was only when pride, spiritual pride, stepped in that one group stopped talking to another group and denominations were formed.

So what did I see, or hear, The LORD showing me?

The first thing I saw was Cessationism ceased as more and more people started praying in tongues!

Then I saw Replacement Theology torn up as people saw God’s Hand upon Israel.

Next came the Prosperity Gospel, closely followed by one-fold ministry being replaced by five — again as more were baptised by The Holy Spirit!

So-called Hypergrace liberalism was next, once again as The Holy Spirit moved in revelation power amongst them.

As I saw these things, and more, I sat shaking my head, as much in disbelief as in wonderment.

I heard The LORD say, “You can’t imagine it, even less see it happening, can you?”

I replied, “No LORD, I can’t! I mean, this would take such a quantum leap as I could never really imagine it happening?”

“Watch!” was all The LORD said.

What happened next made me gasp in joy, wonder, excitement — you name it.

Every emotion ran through me. I saw a wave of The Holy Spirit flow over the entire earth. It re-ran, like a video-clip on repeat.

I saw a wave of The Holy Spirit flow over the entire earth. this time I focused in a little bit, then closer, then closer again.

I saw entire Churches all over the globe being baptised by The Holy Spirit!

“But LORD, they don’t believe in this!” I yelled at one point!

“They do now! answered The LORD, with a chuckle. Some, of course, still rejected it, fought against it, even ran those who received it off the premises. But many received their baptism with great joy — and much repentance.

Then I watched as newly baptised people came out of their denominational walls and joined together in unity of the Spirit.

Old doctrinal differences swept away by the realisation of The Truth, God’s Truth, there was a great joy among God’s People, as they began to come together as one and in one accord.

As The Word says,

“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.” Acts 2:1

“Can this really happen, LORD?” I asked.

He answered with a scripture,

“But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27

I was amazed, then reminded of Habakkuk 1:5,

“Look among the nations and watch — be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you.”

Chris G. Bennett

  Chris Bennett came to salvation in 1962 but didn’t begin ministry until 2007 — a late-comer! Now mandated by The LORD to prophesy and open old wells of revival in the U.K., but especially in Wales. He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them! Founder, with wife Linda, of their ministry The Upper Room Encounter.

RB FOOTNOTE:
  • Such non-existent Unity 50 years ago is what drove me to seek the Truth in the wrong place, as told in Jesus Freed Me! – Hence, my being non-denominational.
  • I was astonished to learn it’s in accord with not only the background reading to my posts on Pope Benedict XVI regarding my supposition in 2013 over the Prophecy on the Popes by 12th Century Archbishop of Armagh, Malachy O’Morgair, and the ‘last pope’  Francis’ accession, but also with a prophetic message to Catholics and others about expected changes across the Church from New Year’s Eve and which align with End-times scripture. I read that within hours of mulling over the significance of the Pope’s passing on that day.
  • I read comments that other prophets are bringing similar words…eg Val Thomas on Fbk “Johnny Enlow had an encounter with the Lord, calling it ‘an outrageous prophecy ’where the Lord said “The whole world is about to become an Upper Room” “Everything, Everyone, Everywhere’ – Seems a similar word and confirmation to me.”
  • Our Mens’ Saturday Morning study of Luke’s account of Jesus’ post-Resurrection  appearances included necessary reminders of John’s upper-room account.
