One major unknown about the Second Signpost that the Bible is silent about, is how it could start. I believe coordinated attacks by drones are now the likely path. In Daniel Revisited and on this website, we have seen that the loss of oil production is the main factor to debilitate the west. (The second […]

My life-long disdain of politics, as mentioned in my preface to this website’s unintended collection of material in Brexit vs EU, has deepened with the Brexit saga with MP’s and political parties downright dishonesty being clear evidence that evil has come full term and manifest in our midst. Regrettably, it’s been necessary for time to have been spent alerting people to the EU’s deep deception.
Further to Daniel Hannan’s description – as a Member of European Parliament – of the EU being a modern Tower of Babel, wherein he refers to CS Lewis’ novel The Hideous Strength, this weekend he explains how it deliberately suppresses democracy and is bent upon destroying British parliamentary politics.
In Our Democracy Is Being Overthrown By The EU’s Hideous Strength (courtesy The Telegraph) Daniel writes,
‘It’s not about Brexit any more, at least not primarily. It’s about whether we remain a democracy in the fullest sense. Our system depends on unwritten conventions and precedents. We expect winners to show restraint and losers to show consent. We expect our officials – including judges, civil servants and, not least, the Commons Speaker – to be impartial. We expect the electorate to be the final umpire.
‘All these norms are coming under pressure as the campaign to reverse Brexit intensifies. The EU, as well as being undemocratic in itself, tends to degrade the internal democracy of its member nations. Everyone knows that the Brussels institutions are oligarchic, combining executive and legislative power in the hands of commissars who are immune to public opinion. What is less widely appreciated is the extent to which the 28 member states are also required to alter their domestic constitutions so as to sustain the requirements of membership. Elections are rerun, coalitions broken, laws ignored, parties annihilated, referendums overturned, prime ministers toppled – all for the sake of deeper integration.
‘I think of it as the EU’s “Hideous Strength” – the title of CS Lewis’s novel about a diabolical plot to take over Britain through a seemingly bland bureaucracy. Until now, the most shocking examples were the civilian juntas imposed on Italy and Greece in 2011 to keep them in the euro. But ponder the past three years here. Look at the way our most basic understandings and conventions have been torn up. Look at the policies now being put forward by the main Opposition parties: Labour is proposing to get a better deal from Brussels and then campaign against its own deal in a referendum. The Lib Dems, less entertainingly but more shockingly, want to annul the outcome of the referendum that they were the first party to propose.
‘For as long as we have had party politics, we have expected the losers to respect the verdict of the ballot box. That is no longer happening. All of a sudden, politicians are making hysterical claims of Russian interference, insisting that elections don’t count because they consider opposing arguments dishonest, demanding that the people who didn’t vote be tallied. We have seen repeated attempts to overturn the referendum result in the courts. We have seen a Speaker brazenly promising to thwart the government even “if that demands additional procedural creativity”.
‘How much more of this can we take? Our political discourse is angrier and more violent than I can remember. The legitimacy of our governing institutions is in the balance. We keep reading that this acrimony is “because of Brexit”. But, as you can hardly fail to have noticed, Brexit hasn’t happened. What we are seeing is not a “Brexit crisis” but the precise opposite: an un-Brexit crisis, a crisis caused by the refusal of our MPs to do what they repeatedly promised.
‘Now those MPs are simultaneously paralysing Parliament and preventing a general election. First, they said they were waiting for their anti-‘no-deal’ Bill to be passed. Then, when it was approved, they said that they would wait until the European summit on 19 October. Now they are talking about sitting through to next summer, still in the EU, and still with a disabled Parliament. Do they truly not realise what is at stake? It is not just their careers that are in jeopardy; it is the authority of our entire parliamentary system. Marvel at the EU’s hideous strength.’
As further evidence for Daniel’s thesis, we have this afternoon’s contemptible treatment of our Prime Minister by Luxembourg’s PM allowing an open-air conference to continue even though drowned out by demonstrators.:
‘Brexiteers have reacted angrily to Xavier Bettel’s decision to push ahead with a press conference without Boris Johnson. Speaking after Mr Bettel’s Q&A with reporters, Tory MP David Jones said: “If Remain supporters are revelling in this gratuitous rudeness to a British Prime Minister, they should examine their own motives. Most patriotic people would say it’s another good reason to leave on 31 October.”
‘His comments were echoed by Daniel Kawczynski, the Tory MP for Shrewsbury, who said: “I am appalled by the conduct of Luxembourg showing disrespect to our Prime Minister and nation. Luxembourg is smaller than Birmingham – clearly it has a different mindset from a permanent member of the UN Security Council.” (All emphases RB)
Lots of activity has meant been unable to post ongoing news on Iran front but this needs to be noted…
At first I couldn’t believe it. Wow, what a news event! But I only saw the story on Zero Hedge. That site is fairly reliable but one never knows if it might be fake news. But having seen the story later on Fox and CNN it was real.
There was a coordinated drone attack on Saudi oil facilities knocking out over half of Saudi Arabia’s daily oil output!! The largest single oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia, and in the world for that matter, was taken out.
Major explosion at oil processing plant in eastern Saudi Arabia. Screen grab from this news report.
The Saudis lost production of 5.7 million barrels per day (bpd). That’s just over half of Saudi Arabia’s total production (of 9.8 m bpd), and a (5.7 m loss / 90 m world total) 6.3% total of world production. The…

As if that reference to prophet Amos’ vision of a plumbline being applicable to us today – not just millennia ago! – wasn’t enough, a big bombshell exploded later on Sunday! I’m grateful to those readers who felt led to join a ‘prophetic presbytery‘ and consider, weigh and comment about Amos 7:7 – but now I risk possibly upsetting many!!
On binning the remaining parts of the previous day’s broadsheet newspaper (7th Sept) I paused to reconsider whether or not to read a featured article. Definitely NOT attracted to its title or content, nevertheless I got ‘poked in the ribs’ to, at the very least, quickly scan-read.
Only then did I realise it’s importance – the author’s descriptions of Dominic Cummings’ character and motivation mirror three prophetic visions and words!!!
POTTED BIOGRAPHY
The broadsheet title and strap-line read, ‘Dominic Cummings, the college years – Was the ‘scariest man in Downing Street’ always this way? Lebby Eyeres, a university friend of the master strategist, reveals all. [Dominic Cummings was my ‘loner’ friend – now he’s running the country] She starts her piece as follows:
Blown away by her prophetically-related remarks I grabbed a yellow highlighter, as may be seen below:
Kitty has a thing about newspapers and being where I’m looking!
Here are the sections that fist-like, grabbed my attention (all emphases mine):
‘…his Ancient and Modern History tutors saw a different side to him, with a couple in particular noting his promise and the course, which took in the rise of the Roman Empire as well as 20th century history, helped shape Dom’s world view. He studied the Ancient Greeks with Robin Lane Fox, which sparked an interest in the purity of Grecian democracy, and marked the beginning of his obsession with the relative corruption at Westminster…
‘He has, I’m sure, viewed the events since the referendum with despair as Brexit has descended into farce, bogged down by the very bureaucratic processes he despises. It’s no surprise he jumped at the chance to sort things out…
‘Was it really wise of Boris to put the person who would raze everything to the ground in order to start afresh in charge? The irony is, given Dom’s dislike of unelected bureaucrats, that he is now more or less running the show – much to the horror of Tory grandees worried about his influence on Boris. He’s not the man to flinch in the face of the EU, but he won’t care about tearing down tradition to achieve his goal...
‘None of this criticism or hysterical hatred will be bothering Dom, who has no desire to stay in government long-term, but the failure to deliver any form of Brexit – the first step in his masterplan to reorganise Britain – would certainly wound him…’
THREE PROPHECIES
Now consider the vision and a prophetical musing I had, followed by Veronika West’s detailed vision similar to the first but over 4 years later:
1. Vision of a Bulldozer (Oct 2014) – ‘Hovering’ in front of me and ‘through’ the seats, my eyes about level with the top of its track and towards the rear, was a dark blue version of the massive dozer shown above. But this one was much bigger! Its height, width and length were over 3/4 those of the hall and its very tall blade-end stood towards the stage where the team was praying.
‘Within minutes I heard it start up with a deep-throated roar and I could imagine smoke bursting out of its vertical exhaust, like those huge American trucks. (NB: the difference between voluntary mental imagination and involuntary visual/auditory impressions.)
‘This may signify that, in response to the meetings and prophetic words, declarations and intercessions aligned with His will, the Lord’s host will bulldoze through all demonic opposition. Also, it could mean they’re getting ready to clear away rubble after He has shaken and demolished ungodly human institutions and activities.’
2. My prophetical musing in May 2016 Is the Lord Exposing Rotten Politics? USA, UK – next EU?? – ‘In re-posting a prophetic word on this month’s ‘Domino Effect’ I speculated that there may be more than one trail of ‘prophetical promises’ Patsy Southway saw, and where it has a counterpart elsewhere. To recap: ‘I cannot but think one of those domino-trails is in the secular world in view of recent, unexpected exposures of political activities. Eg., of anti-Semitism in the Labour party and its leader’s concessionary Mayday speech; of David Cameron’s ‘gaffe’ to the Queen and Archbishop about ‘fantastic’ corruption in Nigeria (read its president’s reaction here); President Obama’s unwelcome interference in the UK/EU Referendum and now his aide Ben Rhodes’ outrageous boasting about their manipulating media lackies with fiction and duplicity over the Iran nuclear deal…’
That led to a series of fulfillments of prophecy upon exposing corruption (#10).
3. Veronika West’s vision last January and word on A Work of Divine Excavations –
‘Yesterday as I looked at this picture of Boris Johnson standing on a platform delivering a speech at the JCB Plant, the Spirit of God immediately began to speak to me concerning the Nation. Now as I listened, I began to pray in the Spirit and I was caught up in powerful vision where I saw these words being written over the Nation, ‘CAUTION; EXPLOSIVE DEMOLITION IN PROGRESS; NATION UNDER CONSTRUCTION’,
‘Now as I looked at those words, suddenly I saw DOZENS OF GREAT BIG YELLOW JCBs BEGIN TO MOVE ACROSS THE NATION, as I looked again at the Nation in the vision I watched as these great big machines began to move and clear what looked like years and years of dirt and debris that covered the face of the Nation, I watched intently as these great big YELLOW JCBs were hard at work, moving, removing and clearing the land, now as I stayed watching in the vision, suddenly I began to see what looked like the old and original foundations of a building and as I looked at the bare foundations of the Nation, I heard these words in the realm of the Spirit…’
‘The conversation in one of the Conservative WhatsApp groups last night took an unexpected turn when Brexiteer Steve Baker shared a passage from the Bible, Romans 12, which he said he hoped would ‘help us individually and together to succeed in the midst of difficulty’. One of the verses in this part of scripture tells readers that ‘if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head’. Baker asked his colleagues ‘not to reply in kind but to bless those who curse us’. It’s not clear whether everyone will heed his advice, but what is clear is that some of the comments from ex-colleagues have irritated Conservative MPs sufficiently to make them want to get on with one another a little better.’
Inspired perhaps by this posting Why Leave the EU? today posts this from BBC News of Feb 2014: Corruption across EU ‘breathtaking’ (Chief of EU Trade Commission)
This news caught me unaware but am very pleasantly surprised in view of the Prime Minister’s love of the Jewish people and Israel, as outlined in New PM Boris Brings Biblical Blessing to Britain. Here’s the sequence of Veronika’s Facebook posting this afternoon:
PS. Strongly suspect this strong relationship is at the heart of the spiritual battle Britain is undergoing – a very pro-Israel PM versus virulent anti-Semitism within Labour Party.
I’m grateful for a friend of Paul Clift getting in touch after having met him recently. Nigel Dodds had heard about a prophecy the Lord had given Paul regarding Brexit and was keen to hear the specifics. He writes,
“I was also able to share with him a picture concerning Brexit which the Spirit had given me back in January and which I have shared in our church in Sheffield…Facebook…and other prophets there. I thought perhaps it may be of interest to you and…Here is how I received it (as posted on Facebook):
“I hope you will find this interesting as we have now come to a place where so many ‘pieces’ have dropped off the Government ‘vehicle’ that it really does look doubtful it will finish the ‘race’. I trust that what God has said will come to pass though and I’m looking for him to fulfill his word. As Jonathon said “Nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few” (1 Samuel 14:6)…”
Upon checking with Nigel he adds, “I wouldn’t want to over-interpret the vision but my understanding is that when the Lord referred to “this Government” he was specifying the Conservative Government elected at the last general election under Theresa May.
“That government is still the same that is now in power, although the leadership and structure of the Conservative party and the cabinet has changed. It will remain the same government until replaced by a general election, which is what I think is signified by the final collapse in the vision. Of course, this does not mean that Boris Johnson will not lead a new Conservative Government following a general election. It speaks only of the present government.”
In my humble opinion, it’s noteworthy how that smart racer became an ol’ banger in its racing, and this may mirror the demise of democracy and Parliamentary principles of nationhood.
As with all prophetic words and visions, the above is offered for weighing and testing with the Lord and holy writ.
[GPS #36.1…and so I pondered what Saturday 31st August 2019 may bring to our nation in its continuing political and social crisis.] Meanwhile that morning over in Winchester a regular contributor to this blog was listening to the Lord. Author of Signs, Stay or Leave? and Divine Designs, Neil Mackereth emails early that afternoon:
‘…I had a word this morning, for your consideration. (One thing not mentioned, the Lord said “crisis” scores 77 using alphabet as numerals and adding them (i.e. a =1 , b = 2, z = 26). Similarly Christ = 77). Not sure of any significance!
CRISIS
“The crisis that fast approaches is not what you think! Do you believe that I am all powerful and that I am working out My purposes? Or do you believe man is in control? Many say with their lips that I am ‘King of Kings’ and ‘Lord of Lords’ and that all power and authority is Mine, but their hearts are troubled.
“Lack of belief is the real crisis.
“Many of the leaders of Great Britain are assembling at the Palace of Westminster. They study the law, for evidence of treachery in others, whilst plotting intrigues to reverse the Referendum decision. In their righteous(?) indignation they claim to be the defenders of democracy!
“Watch very carefully as I continue to reveal in detail a devious and deceitful assembly.
“Watch and be surprised as the veil of secrecy ceases to cover their endeavours.
“Watch and be surprised at the unlikely people and alliances within this nest of vipers.
“Watch and be surprised at the disaffection, distress and uproar they cause in the name of democracy.
“Watch and be amazed at how I thwart their schemes and change the atmosphere. I am the God of unexpected outcomes.
“Those who have eyes to see and hearts to understand will discern My hand and will have peace. Lack of belief dulls eyes and hearts. Without a God-centric world view these events and challenges are likely to seem overwhelming and insoluble. For those who recognise their need, and earnestly ask Me, I will circumcise their hearts and open their eyes. Come, see what I will do.”
Blessings, Neil
Note: Today when I queried a typo with Neil, he replies, “I’m having challenges here with Google refusing to open and other software glitches – I take it as confirmation that we are on the right track! ” (I encountered that problem with our phone lines down for 3 weeks in the month of the Referendum, yet the Lord must have been with my writing as the internet was unaffected. Also had glitches when blogging on Iran and on Boris, BBC and Balfour!)
After I’d gone offline last Thursday for the long weekend, Neil sent this reminder related to the hyper-hypocrisy and venom vented by ‘outraged’ anti-democrats protesting about Parliament being prorogued:
READ THE QUESTION!
‘In this season of exam results I am reminded of my teachers frequently emphasising the need to “Read the Question”!
‘A very simple question, but what does it mean?
‘It means: Should the UK remain a member of the EU or leave the EU?
‘The question, and the outcome of the vote, have generated a veritable avalanche of opinions, mostly from journalists, quasi-intellectual analysts, pundits and politicians, about things which the question does not cover. Put another way, because there are no provisos, Remainers have rushed to invent some. We have entered a fractious and long running debate about what people really meant when they voted leave.
‘As one might expect, the myriad of discussions on “what they really meant” are led by those who didn’t get the result they wanted.
‘There has been a very successful campaign aimed at convincing the electorate that those who voted to leave only wanted to do so provided there was a mutually acceptable deal with the EU. Is that proviso stated in the question?
‘The “Fear of the unknown” weapon has been ruthlessly deployed by Remainers. Bold statements on likely no-deal outcomes are often based on spurious facts that do not bear close scrutiny. These unproven hypotheses (outpourings of doom) are both mischievous and Machiavellian.
‘The relentless and vociferous onslaught of remain propaganda, ignoring the fact that the so-called experts have repeatedly been proved wrong, sow seeds of doubt and, as intended, have caused some to come to believe that a “deal” is an essential prerequisite.
‘The question does not say:
‘Nor does the question say or imply that:
‘So, which view of democracy takes precedence? Carrying out the will of the people, as expressed in the result of the Referendum? Or the continued seeking for authorisation from a divided dysfunctional parliament that is so factionalised that lack of consensus on anything other than blocking “no-deal” is likely to continue, ad-infinitum?
‘Please Lord, hear the prayers of your people and heal our land. Your will be done.’

‘Even as the prorogation of Parliament is announced, we stand as Your Ecclesia – and in the Name of Jesus, we speak peace into the atmosphere and peace into the hearts of people.
‘We speak into every reaction and outworking of today, from within the United Kingdom and from the European Union, and we decree and declare the Kingdom plans and blueprints held in Heaven for the birth of a new season for this nation will be fulfilled, and we call forth the mandate of God for this land.
‘Jesus, we thank You for the power of Your word in our mouths, to build, to strengthen and to encourage, so in the Name of Jesus, we declare as Your people increasingly walk in the confidence that comes from knowing You, standing on the Rock which is Jesus, they will release an atmosphere of hope and joy, overwhelming every other atmosphere.
‘Isaiah 55:11 states, ‘Your word will not return to You void, without accomplishing what You desire,’ so in the Name of Jesus, we declare this nation will move according to Heaven’s purpose and plan.
‘Even as righteousness exalts a nation, we declare a spirit of humility will come upon all political leaders within this land, softening and melting every long-held opinion and ideology that stands against the purposes of God, and Godly wisdom, honesty and integrity fill the hearts and minds of every Member of Parliament at this time.’

NB: Remember the open vision of ‘This is My country’ supernaturally superimposed over our TV screen at the start of Trooping the Colour on 11th June 2016!! It came with the tangle presence of Holy Spirit and the unmistakable stamp of divine authority.
This prophetic event was later contextually confirmed TWICE!
1st) Within weeks American worship leader Lydia Stanley-Marrow interrupted herself with a prophetic word “The Redcoats are coming! The British are coming! The British are coming!”, which mirrors what was on-screen at the time of that scrolling message.
2nd) Two years later during Trooping the Colour 2018, the Lord explained to Veronika West the significance of a fox filmed running across Horse Guards Parade. It represents the Spirit of Herod that tries to kill what God is doing in Britain (‘fox in the henhouse of Parliament’). The first fulfillment of His prophetic words came within days with Daily Mail’s scoop on MP Dominic Grieve’s secretive talks with EU leaders in London.
After yesterday’s hour-long phone call in which Boris Johnson and Leo Varadkar, the Irish premier, clashed over the backstop, the PM wrote to the EU about the UK’s exit.
He writes that the backstop is “anti-democratic and inconsistent with the sovereignty of the UK” because it locks Britain into an international treaty without the ability to exit it unilaterally, and risks “weakening the delicate balance embodied in the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement” and says, “The backstop cannot form part of an agreed Withdrawal Agreement. That is a fact that we must both acknowledge.” He proposes replacing the backstop with “flexible and creative” arrangements to manage a soft border between Ireland and Northern Ireland after Brexit.
Any independence of mind is still out of the frame for the Irish PM. So last night Boris tore up the Northern Irish backstop!
Tomorrow he heads to Berlin for dinner with Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, before luncheon on Thursday in Paris with Emmanuel Macron, the French president, to persuade them both to agree that the EU should remove the backstop.
However, the latest news is that Donald Tusk accuses the PM of trying to impose a hard border in Northern Ireland. The President of the European Council tweeted that the backstop “is an insurance to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland unless and until an alternative is found…Those against the backstop and not proposing realistic alternatives in fact support reestablishing a border. Even if they do not admit it.”
Perhaps the Lord’s way of dealing with this will be to collapse the EU, as promised?
Other than an occasional view of the headlines we don’t watch TV news programmes – definitely not self-opinionated ‘yakking-heads’! Readers of long-standing may recall my utter contempt for the BBC’s loss of its impartiality, especially it’s deliberately anti-Israel stance and reporting, such that I termed it ‘Badly Biased Corporation’.
In recent years it’s propaganda value as Brussels’ Brainwashing Cult is patently obvious for all to see! So, if there’s a quiet moment later in an evening I may get nudged to dip into my phone’s Telegraph App for the latest news-flash. Last night’s items show the parliamentary Battle for Brexit is approaching its climax.
Moreover, I was then inspired to blog on that by a couple of brothers in Christ of opposite opinions and chatting with one who isn’t yet appreciative of prophecy in politics. Like Jonathan Ely’s highly informative Facebook page Why Leave the EU, that of Robert Holman Woodward is prolific in covering Brexit-related news but more from financial and international aspects.
A week ago today Robert posted a Christian Today article from June 2016 of which I was unaware: Christians and Brexit: did God command the UK to leave the EU? It refers to Peter Horrobin of Ellel Ministries and Kansas City’s IHOP worship leader Julie Meyer, one of whose articles and a prophetical song featured on this blog. Raymond, who resides in France, is extremely cynical about the prophetic: “Reading a newspaper supporting your particular views will do the same trick!”.
It’s a useful discussion and I refer to dozens of prophecies of proven accuracy on the EU Referendum result, plus many Press headlines repeating the gist of prophetic words, as followers of this blog know only too well.
I’m grateful to both Robert and Raymond for having heightened my sensitivity to this and being the inspiration for this post; as well as to the Lord for the ‘God-incidental’ timing of last night’s news providing further examples of journalists’ commentaries echoing prophetic words and visions, as though putting pieces into His Invisible Jigsaw. First, check the prophecies and then see how Press reports line up.:
THE PROPHECIES:
Over a dozen indications of the coming fulfillment of item 3 appear in Fulfilled Prophecy #13 series, and several for items 4 and 6 are in that hub’s listing. More recently noted are Press headlines here and here describing our new Prime Minister as ‘Bulldozer Boris’, and we’ll now find that attribute coming to the fore!
THE PRESS – Wed 14th Aug 2019 Continue reading
Following on from Simon Braker’s dream of European nations being bricks in a game of jenga, with reference to Britain being warned to “Come out!” (Fulfilled Prophecy #13.1), within days of Germany’s Angela Merkel having a 3rd bout of ‘prophetical’ shaking when meeting Finland’s PM, Veronika West heard the following (Facebook):
AN URGENT WORD FOR THE NATION OF GERMANY…!
EARLY HOURS OF THIS MORNING THE SPIRIT OF GOD WOKE ME TO PRAY FOR THE NATION OF GERMANY AND FOR THE GREAT SHAKING THAT IS COMING!!!
As I began to pray I saw the Chancellor Angela Merkel and I heard the Spirit say, “SHAKING, SHAKING, SHAKING, FOR THIS IS A SIGN OF THE SHAKING THAT IS COMING TO THIS NATION, WATCH! FOR I AM SHAKING THE GOVERNMENT, I AM SHAKING THE ECONOMY AND I AM SHAKING MY CHURCH IN THE NATION OF GERMANY, WATCH! FOR GERMANY WILL BE SHAKEN AND IT WILL BE SHIFTED IN THIS NEXT SEASON, MY SHAKING SHALL HUMBLE THE PROUD AND BRING DOWN THOSE WHO ARE STIFF-NECKED, WATCH AND PRAY! FOR GERMANY SHALL BE SHAKEN 3 TIMES, YES! 3 TIMES,!! FOR I SHALL SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE THIS LAND, PRAY MY SHAKING SHALL REVERBERATE THROUGHOUT THE NATIONS OF EUROPE, WATCH THE UNITED NATIONS, WATCH THE EUROPEAN UNION, GERMANY WILL BE SHAKEN TO ITS FOUNDATIONS, says the Spirit of God.
“BERLIN, UKRAINE AND FINLAND WILL SHAKE…!
As I cried out to God for Mercy He said, “WATCH BERLIN, WATCH FINLAND, WATCH UKRAINE, WATCH FOR A SHAKING SHALL COME TO THESE NATIONS IN THE DAYS AHEAD.” As I heard those words I saw the Nation of FINLAND BEING SHAKEN, THE NATION OF UKRAINE and then I saw a shaking in BERLIN…! WATCH AND PRAY…!

EUROPEAN & GLOBAL SHAKING – THE FINER DETAIL
AND today, over three weeks later, comes news that, ‘Recession fears returned to stalk global markets once more yesterday after Germany suffered its biggest factory slump in a decade and a wave of central bank stimulus stoked fears of a race to the bottom in a brewing currency war…(AND) Fears of a brewing currency war escalated after New Zealand’s central bank slashed interest rates to a record low of 1pc…(NZ’s) deeper-than-expected cut knocked its currency more than 2pc against the US dollar to its lowest level in more than three years and dragged Australia’s currency briefly down to a 10-year low. The move was “a further sign that central banks seem fixed on a race to the bottom” as tensions over weakening currencies surge…’ (emphases mine).
With his thorough and incisive analysis the DT’s international business editor Ambrose Evans-Pritchard delivers this masterly in-depth article (click first image to read in full but note, not in new window):
These extracts are the more pertinent points relating to the EU (emphases mine):
‘…The world’s G2 economies are in a state of cold war. Europe is the chief collateral casualty. The eurozone will soon pay – or is already paying – the price of an economic model that is highly geared to the global trade cycle and depends on world consumption to make up for its structural inability to generate demand.
‘Mario Draghi, the ECB’s president, says the eurozone’s manufacturing recession is getting “worse and worse”. Germany’s industrial output fell a further 1.5pc in June and is down more than 5pc over the past year. “We would characterise today’s industrial production report as devastating,” said Carsten Brzeski [Wed 7th] from ING. There is no relief in the forward-looking indicators. The Ifo Institute’s gauge of production plans for the next three months has crashed to the lowest since the depths of the eurozone crisis in 2012.
‘European companies are caught in the Sino-US cross-fire…sales are now caught up in Chinese counter-tariffs. It is a key reason why Daimler has issued four profit warnings over the past year. The trade war is compounding the electrification shock that has thrown Europe’s car industry into seizure…’
‘Europe cannot handle so many shocks. It already has one foot in deflation. The ECB has lost monetary traction. Interest rates are minus 0.4pc and are close to the “reversal rate”, where further cuts become contractionary through a squeeze on bank margins…’
‘The ECB could in theory resort to helicopter money to fund government spending, but this would violate the Maastricht Treaty and run afoul of Germany’s constitutional court.
‘Euroland’s only defence is “new deal” fiscal stimulus – but this too is made impossible by the rigid legal and ideological structure. It meets the Stability Pact and the machinery of fiscal restraint.
‘Europe’s leaders cannot do much about Trump, China, and global deflation, but they can at least avert an unnecessary Brexit shock by changing the Withdrawal Agreement. This is not to say they will. Dominic Cummings is right to warn that the EU may opt for economic self-harm to achieve its religious objectives.
‘Yet criticism of the Barnier method is growing louder, especially in Germany. The Commission’s feet are at last being held to the fire. Gabriel Felbermayr, president of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, says the strategy of forcing Britain to jump through divorce hoops before trade talks could begin was a serious error and has led to a dead-end.
“The EU must finally start to think strategically. This means giving up the dogma of the inviolable four freedoms and offering the UK, and likewise Switzerland, the maximum possible economic integration that is possible without political union,” he said.
‘..The EU’s Brexit goal until now has been to close ranks and uphold doctrinal purity. It shoved aside those Europeans who called for a flexible Continental Partnership as a model for the EU’s future ties with the near abroad. The higher imperative was to make a point. But the economic dangers have now reached such a level that an additional – and easily avoidable – knife-fight with Borisian Britain risks blowing up the EU project entirely. At what point does the EU’s self-preservation reflex trump ideology?
Mr Varadkar could climb down from his nationalist tree and accept an all-Ireland farm deal, with a softish border for the remaining goods trade (tiny in volume), cleared by trusted trader schemes far from the front line.
‘Or he can bring about the no-deal he decries, and on the hardest of terms with 50,000 lost jobs or more, and be forced to erect physical border infrastructure by the EU in diplomatically horrible circumstances under threat of expulsion from the EU customs union. Moreover, as he says, the ordeal will go on, and on, and on. Should he change his mind and opt for compromise, Berlin, Paris, and other EU capitals will have the justification they need – and some now want – to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement.
‘If the Taoiseach denies them this graceful way out, then remember the Juncker dictum: “We have instruments of torture in the basement.”
Also note well Ambrose’s earlier eye-opener EU sharpens torture tools as Swiss showdown escalates into energy war, which includes this alarming example of its totalitarian nature:
‘..Brussels is preparing other tools of suffocation. There are threats to withdraw mutual recognition for exports of medical equipment. This has the character of a creeping blockade. “In theory the EU could cut off access to almost anything,” said Pieter Cleppe from Open Europe in Brussels.
“It is a worrying precedent that a country can be cut off like this for purely-political motives when it has not violated its obligations,” he said.
‘Switzerland’s problems have been growing ever since the Brexit referendum. The country has become a victim of proxy diplomatic warfare, as made clear in leaked comments last month by the EU commissioner in charge of bilateral talks, Johannes Hahn…’
Maybe the EU is the fourth beast of Daniel’s dreadful vision, as recorded in chapter 7 of his Old Testament Book. Therefore, EU: prepare to meet thy decreed doom.
PS: Panicked Merkel requests meeting with Johnson as German economy crumbles Daily Express Fri 16th Aug
Footnote: for previous updates on fulfillment of the Noakes’ prophecy see listing here.
Eventually I got hold of today’s paper, ’tis holiday season after all 🙂 and woke up to this prophecy-related front-page headline:
After the past year’s utter farago over Brexit and Parliament’s inability to agree to the May-Merkel treacherous Withdrawal Agreement, leaving the EU without any strings attached was regarded as being dead in the water. So it looked like the 2005 Vision for Great Britain breaking free from the EU’s entanglements would be impossible.
Then in January, that vision got ‘resurrected’ when Veronika West heard from the Lord about a figurative ‘raising of Lazarus’, both spiritually and politically, for our four nations. Then in March, she received further details on the Brexit delay and promising “Fear not, for Lazarus died but was raised after four days!” and knew to watch out for unexpected turnaround four months later; AND THIS PROPHECY WAS FULFILLED together with the confirmation of Wendy Alec’s 2005 Vision (see Fulfilled Prophecy #44).

Michael Gove is in charge of the government’s no-deal preparations and is reported as being “deeply saddened” by the EU’s stance after diplomats in Brussels warned that no-deal now appears to be the UK’s “central scenario”. He accuses the EU of refusing to negotiate a new Brexit deal because it says the current agreement is the “best possible” option.
TIMES are changing. Two of my great heroes have recently been banned from speaking on university campuses. Twenty years ago they were firebrand radicals, alarming the establishment with their fervour and campaigning. No one silenced them then. Now they have been silenced. Not by the establishment, but by the new cultural bullies.They are Germaine Greer…

It’s now vital that all right-thinking people take a stand against this deeply insidious and increasing fascism. Gavin draws to this important conclusion:
“And that is the origin of the idea of the hate crime. The cultural Marxists claim the right of the state to look inside your head, deem you to be bigoted and hate-filled, and set out to punish and silence you. They use tools ranging from the Twitter mob to the law. But just like Marxism Part 1, Part 2 won’t let up until the critics have been silenced and the state guards thoughts, as well as speech, of the citizens.
“How can this be resisted? With great difficulty. Words have changed their meaning. People have already been silenced. The young are being nurtured in the practice of censorship and control. The snowflake generation have mixed bad therapy with muddled philosophy and have swallowed it whole.’
“The struggle is between those who believe in free speech and those who add a ‘but’.”
Mark Davidson brings a brief update to his Four Signposts perspective of our approach to the End-times. There’s another perspective too – is the Lord’s hand in this situation’s timing in very last days of Theresa May’s term as Prime Minister, and which could make the signature mark of her legacy? In my opinion, all her actions prevented her receiving the blessings prophesied at the start of her premiership, and disregard of Donald Trump probably led to her Government’s refusal of American naval protection measures in the Gulf, as reported by previous leader of Conservative Party Iain Duncan Smith here.
This news report tells us Iran has just seized two British oil tankers. With that, it is looking more and more like the trigger for the Second Signpost will come from Iran. It is looking like they are goading the United States into a fight, hoping to get one by escalating its attacks and thefts, […]
Roger Jervois keeping watch in South Africa has this update on Wednesday’s news for Emma Stark’s prophetic word on the DUP and Irish Republic’s PM and Brexit:
“Encouraging signs from the NI/Eire situation as Leo Varadkar exerts more positive influence. He has publicly endorsed what amounts to an acceptance of the Alternative Arrangements working group, which both Boris and Jeremy Hunt are in favour of. This is great news (per BBC News. Veradkhar: NI-only backstop could avoid hard border)
‘Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar said a NI-only backstop would “not go down well with the DUP”, but that it is still an option.
‘The taoiseach said that while he can see a route to avoid a hard border, the Republic is still stepping up its preparations for one. He said “One option is to revert to the proposal of a backstop in Northern Ireland and not the rest of the UK.”
Last night’s Telegraph Online reports German Chancellor being supportive of Leo’s ideas…“This is easily the biggest coup that Leo has engineered…..zowie!” (RJ)

Keeping watch with respect to Emma Stark’s prophetic word, and the climax of Ulster’s marching season with tomorrow’s anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne (1690), Roger Jervois’ emails me yesterday (emphasis mine):
‘Speaking from early ‘90s South Africa experience, this is huge. Three cheers in Heaven to the prayer warriors who heeded the call to pray for Leo Varadkar.
‘Read on…(from Belfast Telegraph)
‘The Grand Secretary of the Orange Order has said that he would be willing to accept a united Ireland if the majority of people in Northern Ireland voted for it.
‘Rev Mervyn Gibson told the Irish Times that if a united Ireland came about as a result of a border poll he would accept the democratic result and was not “going to go to war over it”.
‘However, Mr Gibson said that he was not worried about the prospect of a united Ireland anytime soon and that attempts to link it to Brexit were part of “project fear”.
‘Mr Gibson said that he is “proud to be from Northern Ireland”, but that he felt he had an “all-Ireland dimension” as his father and grandfather were born in Co Donegal.
‘He praised Taoiseach Leo Varadkar for a visit to the Orange Order headquarters in Belfast last year, saying it was “pivotal in changing and improving relationships”.
Praise the Lord for the landmark legal ruling overturning a High Court decision and allowing Freedom of Speech, thus enabling Christians (and others) to express their belief in public and declare the fullness of scripture without fear of judicial, educational, professional or business-related censorship, intimidation and unemployment.
In A Victory For Christians Everywhere Andrea Williams, Chief Executive of Christian Concern and the Christian Legal Centre comments on the judgment handed down this week in the case of Felix Ngole, the student who was expelled from Sheffield University for expressing Biblical views on sexual ethics (emphases RB),
“I am delighted by this victory for free speech. The judges in the Court of Appeal have ruled in favour of Felix Ngole and against the university, saying that he should not have been expelled merely for expressing his Christian views. His expulsion was a serious violation of free speech that threatened Christians and others with a bar to employment for expressing what the Bible says about sexual ethics.”
‘…The university argued that even expressing Biblical views in a church, or any community where the speaker could be identified, should result in a bar to employment in social services. Even if such views were expressed in private, they would risk being reported. This amounts to endorsement by the university of something akin to a totalitarian regime where people are reported to the state authorities by informants for expressing politically incorrect views. As it was, Felix’s Facebook posts were anonymously reported to the university by someone with a clear political agenda.’
Andrea’s detailed announcement concludes,
‘This judgment must send a resounding message to Universities and employers across the land. Christians and others should be allowed to express their views. This is what free speech means. No one has freedom not to be offended. We must be able to disagree with tolerance, and not with silencing or bullying. Places of work, and universities in particular, should not be places where certain views are deemed politically incorrect and worthy of expulsion.
‘This judgment means that we are free to speak, free to express Christian views, to advocate for those views at university, in the classroom, and at work.
‘Christians should use our freedom of speech and unashamedly proclaim Biblical truth, however unpopular or out of fashion it may be. The truth will win out in the end. We hope that this judgment encourages Christians to be bold and fearless in expressing their Christian faith at work, at university, in church or elsewhere. All truth is found in Jesus Christ. In Colossians 1 we are told:
“For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together”.
‘The world needs the truth for in the Truth all things hold together. And it is by the Truth we are all set free.
‘Felix is exactly the kind of person that we want in social work. Today he stands vindicated; today justice has been done. But it’s not just for him; it’s for us, the Church here in the UK. Let’s ensure that this emboldens us to speak of the life-giving good news that is found in Jesus Christ.’
Not being online full-time I haven’t done a update for the weekend’s many items on deepening problems in the EU that are bringing its prophesied downfall. So I trust my readers have been keeping up with the news, of which this popped up today about the opening of the EU Parliament after recent elections of MEPs, of which the Brexit Party is the largest single party within that parliament! Maybe that’s a benefit of not having left the EU as agreed on 29th March and thus having to take part in those elections?
Veronika West notes and prophesies:
‘ANOTHER POWERFUL PROPHETIC SIGN CONCERNING THE EU AND THE NATIONS THAT SHALL TURN THEIR BACKS ON THIS DEMONIC INSTITUTION IN THE DAYS AHEAD; “FOR EVEN AS BACKS ARE TURNING, SO ARE THE HEARTS OF MANY NATIONS BEING TURNED IN THIS HOUR, FOR A DIVINE SHIFTING AND TURNING, SHIFTING AND TURNING IS NOW TAKING PLACE”, says God.
‘I hear the Spirit say, “FOR I CANNOT LOOK UPON THAT WHICH IS UNHOLY AND DEFILED FOR I AM A HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS GOD. NOW WATCH! AS MY SPIRIT MOVES UPON THE NATIONS, FOR EVEN AS BACKS ARE TURNING SO SHALL HEARTS BEGIN TURNING BACK TO THAT WHICH IS HOLY AND UNDEFILED, WATCH! AS MY GOVERNMENTAL HAND MOVES IN THIS SEASON TO TURN THINGS UP-SIDE DOWN AND INSIDE-OUT, WATCH! AS A DIVINE REALIGNMENT AND A REORDERING OF THINGS BEGIN TO TAKE PLACE IN THIS NATION AND IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, FOR A TIME OF DIVINE AND SUPERNATURAL TURNAROUND IS NOW COME UPON THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”, says God.’
By the way, there’s this too:
After taking late lunch, after posting the possibly prophetic photo of Boris Johnson, I find Veronika West has posted a warning on her Facebook about what’s arising within Tory party’s elections to replace the Prime Minister.
In WARNING; WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING..! she republishes today’s article in Westmonster in full and says these people have an ungodly agenda because they’re being used by the enemy “to dismantle the divine work of God in our nation”. Whilst they claim to have the ‘National interest’ at heart, they’re actually “working behind the scenes to betray our sovereignty and destroy our birthright.”
PRAY THESE MEN ARE TRULY EXPOSED…
Westmonster’s article, one of several published today, reads as follows:
‘Dark horse Conservative leadership candidate, Rory Stewart, has claimed that he and 100 other Conservative MPs would try to stop a No Deal Brexit. That isn’t going to go down with the pro-Brexit Conservative grassroots.
‘Speaking at a hustings for lobby journalists in Westminster yesterday, Stewart said: “We can stop a No Deal Brexit much more easily than that. I, and nearly 100 of my colleagues, would vote to prevent a No Deal Brexit without having to bring down a Conservative government.”
‘Stewart has frequently spoken out against leaving the EU on WTO terms, preferring instead to stick to Theresa May’s bad deal that has already been rejected three times in Parliament.
‘The Institute for Government have studied how a No Deal Brexit could be delivered and said: “A new Prime Minister intent on No Deal Brexit can’t be stopped by MPs.”
Their analysis is that: “If a new Prime Minister is set on No Deal, then they have no need for further ‘meaningful votes’. That denies MPs an opportunity to vote to take control of the timetable again.
“And the No Deal provision in the EU Withdrawal Act 2018 – which would have required the Government to hold a vote in the Commons if no agreement had been reached with the EU by 21 January – has long expired.”
‘Rory Stewart and others may want to block a WTO Brexit – but a strong Brexiteer Prime Minister must take them on. Particularly as the likes of Boris Johnson and Dominic Raab are promising to deliver on 31st October, deal or No Deal.’
I pointed out to Veronika the coincidence of our two posts and she reacted to the photo of Boris Johnson by writing,
“YES I BELIEVE ITS POWERFULLY PROPHETIC IN TERMS OF BREXIT. LET’S CONTINUE TO PRAY FERVENTLY THAT THE SOVEREIGNTY AND DESTINY OF OUR NATION IS FULLY RESTORED. WE PRAY THAT THE NEHEMIAH ANOINTING BEGIN TO EMERGE AS OUR NATION IS NOW IN THE SEASON OF BUILDING AND REBUILDING.”
Amen…and again Amen.
Now and then over our regular long weekends, I get to spend an hour at my desk and quickly run through the email’s in-tray. It ‘just so happened’ as I did so on Saturday that one came from Margaret H drawing my attention to a Friday newspaper’s strap-line that implies confirmation of a profound prophecy. Margaret writes,
‘…I’ve been thinking a lot, and praying a lot, as we all have, I’m sure, about Boris in that earthmover, and Veronika West’s word about it [A Work of Divine Excavation…Taking us “back to our old foundations”], which you posted on January 21st this year along with your own picture from 2014 [Call to pray for UK]…[RB: ’twas a very vivid vision!]
‘Yesterday morning I found on the BBC website, among their images of the front pages of the daily newspapers, a confirmation of ‘Bulldozer Boris’. It’s using the words in a different context, in reference to Boris sweeping all before him in terms of the leadership election, but it’s definitely prophetic and confirmatory.’
So I did a quick search and found this summary shot from BBC in the Guardian:
And here’s a close-up of the Daily Mail’s front page:
