Fire in the cathedral – a sign?

Posted on by

Nicholas brings some poignant reflections on the Scriptures and history before we consider three prophecies and a ‘coincidental’ fire in Jerusalem at the Al-Aqsa mosque!

Nicholas's avatarAll Along the Watchtower

Many years ago, I had the privilege to visit Notre Dame de Paris. It was an awe-inspiring sight, a triumph of Gothic architecture. Beloved by millions, it stood as an icon of France and France’s Catholic heritage. Now ravaged by fire, it will be rebuilt, ostensibly as a sign of France’s resilience and commitment to cultural excellence.

There is a deeper problem here, symbolised by the fire in the cathedral – France’s anti-religious secularism and ethno-political turmoil. France has turned its back on God. The presence of Christians from a variety of denominations in France does not significantly alter the big picture of apostasy and decay.

Lest the reader think my judgment is harsh, I would say that I hold much the same view of the United Kingdom at present and speak as someone with partially French blood. I love France and the UK, but I do not love what…

Update on illegality of extending Article 50 for leaving E.U.

Posted on by

Courtesy of Prophetic Voice UK

Footnote 1 to UK Situation Summary #4 reads, ‘Democracy 17.4 supports English Democrats lawsuit against the PM to obtain a declaration in Law that the Law states the UK left the EU on 30th March 2019, and in blocking any extension to Article 50.’

One of few parliamentarians with a backbone for resolutely defending democracy, the chairman of the European Scrutiny Committee and former shadow Attorney General Sir Bill Cash MP, as a back-bencher in the Commons last week demanded Theresa May’s resignation of Prime Minister. After hours of discussions with QCs and former judges, Sir Bill believes the British Government’s extension of Article 50 is unlawful.

He writes in Theresa May’s Article 50 extension is illegal, and will be challenged in the courts (emphases mine):

‘It is a fundamental principle of UK constitutional law that the Government may not use its powers, including its powers to make international agreements, to frustrate the intention of Parliament. Parliament’s intention is to be found, and is only to be found, in the laws it makes. Resolutions of the House of Commons may sometimes be politically important, but they are of no legal effect unless an Act of Parliament expressly gives them legal effect.

‘The intention of Parliament is, and remains still, that the UK must leave the EU. This is clear from the legislation to trigger Article 50 (the EU Notification of Withdrawal Act 2017), in which Parliament referred to and declared “the United Kingdom’s intention to withdraw from the EU”. The EU Withdrawal Act 2018 gives effect to the decision to withdraw by repeatedly referring to “exit day”.

‘The Withdrawal Act expressly states: “The European Communities Act 1972 is repealed on exit day”. Parliament originally set that day precisely at March 29 2019, but the Government has purported to extend this by statutory instruments. These can be challenged in the courts.

‘It is essential to note that Parliament’s legal intention for the UK to leave the EU is not conditional upon a withdrawal agreement. While many MPs have said that they do not want the UK to leave without a withdrawal agreement, and the House of Commons has passed a resolution stating this, the law of the United Kingdom is not affected by their protestations. Our law is simply that the UK must leave the EU...

‘It follows that when the Prime Minister exercised her power to act for the UK at the EU Council, she was obliged under our law to refrain from doing anything that would frustrate the intention of Parliament that the UK must leave the EU with or without a withdrawal agreement.‘

These are only Sir Bill’s opening paragraphs but his strong argument is so important I recommend your reading in full by clicking here. He continues by cutting to the quick:

‘These are manifest limitations on the Prime Minister’s competence. They concern rules of UK internal constitutional law of fundamental importance. In these circumstances, I believe that it would be impossible for the Prime Minister, acting lawfully under UK law, to accept an extension of the kind proposed. When I called on her to resign last week in the House of Commons, I reminded her that she had promised over 100 times not to extend exit day.

‘For the Prime Minister to agree to such an extension in these circumstances is to knowingly use her power in a way that she herself believes would risk frustrating Parliament’s intention that the UK must leave the EU. This is legally beyond the pale!’

Sir Bill concludes his well-grounded case:

‘We have been told by the Prime Minister that “we will not have truly left the European Union if we are not in control of our own laws”. The repeal of the European Communities Act 1972 achieves that control as the law of the land. The Withdrawal Agreement drives a coach and horses through the constitutional status of Northern Ireland and undermines the repeal of that 1972 Act.

‘This is a political betrayal of the referendum vote in June 2016.That vote was expressly given by Parliament under the Referendum Act 2015 to the people and became the law of the land. It cannot be taken back by mere resolutions of the Commons nor by unlawful statutory instruments. Indeed, on Friday evening, five minutes before the deadline on the statutory instrument for the regulations to confer the extension to October 31, I tabled a block against the regulations which continues until the House returns.’

Unity News Network has been reporting extensively on the court case undertaken by Robin Tilbrook of The English Democrats over what he believes has been the illegal extension of Article. They write in Sir Bill Cash in STUNNING confirmation of Article 50 ILLEGALITY!!! that Mr Tilbrook and certain leading legal minds believe that Britain has, in law, already exited the EU on the 29th of March.

NI-Eire Prophecy Update #7: the Taoiseach and the EU

We continue updates since the exceptional, in-depth instruction about the leader of the DUP and the Irish Prime Minister that shocked Emma Stark upon asking God about the solution to the Brexit ‘backstop’ for Northern Ireland. (Re-reading the transcript gives an appreciation of what may be happening behind the scenes on the implementation of Brexit.)  So we report as follows:

5th April, DUP response to delaying Brexit beyond European elections an existential threat to Tories:

‘Arlene Foster, the DUP leader, said: “The United Kingdom fighting European elections almost three years after a clear majority voted to leave the EU sums up the disorganised and slapdash approach taken to negotiations by the Prime Minister.“

7th April, anonymous reader’s link to Spectator article Ireland’s strange decision to join the French Commonwealth.

10th April, Roger Jervois in South Africa emails, “Here is some more constructive work from Leo…(speaking before last night’s crucial summit in Brussels)

‘The Taoiseach (Irish prime minister), Leo Varadkar, has suggested that the UK would be able to have a say in trade deals if it forms a customs union with the EU. A customs union is a major focus of Brexit talks between Labour and the Conservatives…Many Conservatives oppose that idea saying the UK would be subject to EU trade deals but with no say.

‘However, the Taoiseach suggested the EU would be able to develop a ‘sui generis’ (unique) arrangement for the UK, and said the proposal for the UK to stay in a customs union with the EU after Brexit has “real merit”.

“I believe as the EU having the UK in a customs union means we could get the best deals for all of us,” he said. “If the UK were to decide to stay in a customs union, we would be able to develop something ‘sui generis’ so that they would have a say around things in terms of future trade deals, and a level playing field around labour rights and environmental rights.”  (BBC News NI Brexit: Leo Varadkhar hints at UK say in future trade deals)

Today, Brexit latest news: Theresa May told to resign in Commons as Tory MPs brand Hallowe’en extension an ‘abject surrender’…at 1:38pm:

Arlene Foster: Six months to change the backstop

‘Asked whether she believed there was any prospect of the Withdrawal Agreement being reopened in the period to October, Mrs Foster told reporters in Brussels: “It depends whether they want to get a deal.

“If they want to get a deal they’re going to have to deal with the backstop because the only thing that has got through Parliament with the majority is the fact of dealing with the backstop.

“And if it’s dealt with in the appropriate fashion then the Withdrawal Agreement will go through and they will have a deal. But if they continue on the road of ‘we are not reopening the treaty’ then we are heading inexorably towards a no-deal scenario.

“That’s something which I really regret because we want to get a deal that is good for the whole of the UK.

“Instead of this intransigence, actually what they should be using the next number of months to do is look at ways to deal with that backstop.”

Big Ben prophecies update

An intriguing juxta-positioning of photo with article under page 4’s ‘Brexit chaos’ banner (front page: May ‘on bended knee’ to EU).  Its publication date is significant: 21st March, the day after the Spring equinox, ie. the astronomical start of Spring – in other words, this photo also indicates IT’S TIME – THE NEW SEASON HAS STARTED!

Daily Telegraph 21 March 2019, credit Peter Mac Diarmid/LNP

Despite the unparalleled political chaos and disintegration of democracy, as prophesied particularly in several dreams reported from Tucson by Tony Puccio of attacks not only beneath Big Ben but also within and by Parliament upon our ‘constitution’, matters are now entering a brand new phase; especially a new spiritual season for Britain.

By Blower, Daily Telegraph 22nd January

On 26th June 2017 Charles Shamp records, ‘As I was praying today I was taken to Big Ben in London, England. I heard the Lord say,

“My eye is upon this land and my hand upon the nation’s time, a kairos moment is about to come! I will cause a sign to come from Big Ben that will mark the moment that I have changed the time and season for the nation of England and the city of London. Everything will stop and people will turn to see and hear. Tell my people to mark the moment when it comes to pass for it will be sign of great change in the land.”

Two months later people did indeed stop to take note of Big Ben falling silent at the start of lengthy maintenance work to the Elizabeth Tower and its clock faces; Big Ben is their famous bell.  (Also see review of Dr Sharon Stone’s earlier prophecy at Significant Timing of Planned Stoppage of Big Ben.)

More recently, Yvonne Coombs was inspired to paint a unique picture of Big Ben. In my Prophetic Painting of Lion and Eagle, with Big Ben she explains its origin in a vision of “Jesus’ blood all over the earth – Yet, the UK was His main focus in this particular painting as I saw Big Ben alone – and He put His finger in it and it rippled out.”  And so it became a process from one painting towards the final piece, and we’re privileged to see below those two different pictures of that process:

By Yvonne Coombs, 12th March 2019

“Trust in Me! I go before you Great Britain and MY WILL BE DONE!” (Yvonne Coombs, 13th March 2019)

Also, watch this ‘revelatory’ report on the unveiling of Big Ben’s north-facing clock on this ITN report of 21st March:

Veronika West notes this event last Saturday, connecting it to a powerful prophetic word she brought in January (A Work of Divine Restoration to Restore the UK’s Foundations):

‘ANOTHER POWERFUL SIGN FOR THE NATION OF GREAT BRITAIN…

”IN THIS HOUR AND SEASON GOD IS RESTORING TIME AND RESTORING WHAT THE LOCUSTS HAVE EATEN. WATCH! AS THE HAND OF GOD MOVES TO SHAKE AND SHIFT THIS LAND, FOR HE IS TAKING US BACK TO THE OLD FOUNDATIONS TO HIS ORIGINAL INTENT FOR THIS GREAT NATION”,.!

Monday newsmix: headlines again echo Brexit prophecy (Fulfilled Prophecy #41)

Posted on by

First, check these extracts with emphases added on the need for humility in Britain, as told in prophetic words brought by Emma Stark of Glasgow Prophetic Centre. On 20 November 2017 she reports deep disarray in devil’s domain…

‘And then the Lord started to speak to me about Brexit, in the middle of all of this. And the Lord said this: “You” (you collectively, like, all of us – family) “have prayed for a revival and awakening and reformation in the UK for so long.” And the Lord says, “I have heard the prayers for revival and awakening and reformation.” (but) “I couldn’t come as close as I wanted to, to the UK, because I had to resist her because she was proud.”

‘(Many of us know that, actually, if we were scoring the UK in a pride rating, we would probably score it quite high. And we know from the Word of God that God resists the proud, and we know from the word of God that Leviathan (go and read Job chapter 41 if you want and 42, if you want to read about Leviathan), Leviathan is the strongman demon over pride in the earth.)

‘And I heard God say this: “I will allow a bad deal for the UK in BREXIT, and it will bring a humbleness to the nation. And in the humbleness it will be an answer to your prayers, because it will break Leviathan off you. And in the breaking of Leviathan”, the Lord says, “I will rush towards you with revival and awakening that you have prayed for.” And so the Lord says, “Do not fear the bad deal, for I am in it, and I am disconnecting you to reconnect you.”And the Lord says that there will be a move of God on the back of the humbleness that is going to come to the UK…’

Then in Belfast at the end of this February, she brings a significant word on Brexit, the Backstop and Ireland issues and expands upon that earlier word (see transcript):

‘And the Lord says, “I am making some situations [to] bring nations to their knees right now, and even a humbleness to come within the British Isles”, says the Lord, “that I may break the spirit of Leviathan off you and your pride.” For the Lord says, “I cannot come near the British Isles while there is pride, because I am held by my word that says I must resist those who are proud.” But the Lord says, “As there is humbleness and as confusion even opens a door to a hands-up that says, ‘I don’t have an answer’ – and as that brings a sense of “Oh God! We need to look to You outside of ourselves” – the Lord says, “Then Leviathan breaks”, and then that revival rushes towards us…’

SO, note Saturday’s front-page headlines that Jennifer brought to my attention:

Also, in As the Brexit betrayal reaches its climax, the elite’s disdain for us Leavers is now disgracefully clear, Janet Daley in Sunday Telegraph concludes,

‘So now we have a Parliament which is defending its right to defy the people – whom it openly despises – and a government which supposedly defends the people’s judgement in the name of democracy but cannot even defend its own position in public debate.

‘Neither of the two main parties is fit for power so a general election would be an exercise in futility. And what is worst, the people have learnt something they will not forget about how much they are despised by those who actually run the country.

‘God help us. The great national virtues of reason and decency are about to be tested to their limits.’

A few recent headlines on the humiliation of Britain and our Prime Minister:

Wednesday 13th March 2019

Thursday 21st March 2019

New Statesman 27th March 2019

The content of the last item (thank you Carolyn) displays the arrogant pride and disdain Janet refers to that has poisoned the Remain camp, and which we believe the Lord will also be dealing with in due course.

Is it possible Theresa May’s saving grace is that the Lord sees her as our ‘scapegoat’?  This may accord with the debatable prophetic word of June 2016 that Charles Shamp brought about her mission.

Ignored by News: EU’s prophesied downfall (Fulfilled Prophecy #13 cont’d)

‘The European Central Bank has reached the end of the road. It no longer has the monetary levers or the political authority to launch another ‘shock and awe’ rescue if the eurozone tips into recession.

‘Mario Draghi tried valiantly to bluff his way through the ECB Watchers conference on Wednesday, laying out his surgical toolkit should the worst happen. “We are not short on instruments to deliver our mandate,” he said. (Draghi is President of the ECB)

“What instruments?,” asked Ashoka Mody, the former deputy-director of the IMF in Europe. “Aside from its jumble of words, the ECB has nothing else to offer.”

Thus, writes Ambrose Evans-Pritchard last night to open the news of A big bazooka that’s turned into a pop-gun: the ECB has let deflation take hold and is now an impotent spectator.

As we continue watching developments in the eventual fall of the European Union and Euro, newer readers may wish to review the sequence of some, as noted on this blog:

“The EU cat is out of the bag!” says DUP. Is this the deceit yet to be revealed?

Posted on by
5

The DUP’s Brexit spokesman Sammy Wilson closes his forthright condemnation of PM May’s treacherous betrayal of Brexit in We won’t let the PM or the Remainer horde in Parliament bully us into backing a toxic Brexit deal with this not unkown fact:

‘Finally the announcement of the details of the no-deal Brexit arrangements by the Irish Republic at the weekend, when they confirmed that they can deal with Irish Border trade without any need for one stick of infrastructure along the border, is the final proof that the exit deal is based on one big con job. The Irish border was never an issue. It was used to secure a leaving arrangement which would dictate the restrictive terms of the UK’s future relationship with the EU.

‘The EU cat is out of the bag. There is no justification for the Withdrawal Agreement. The only thing that those of us who want to leave the EU have to fear is being locked into a deal which only the EU can release us from. This week’s indicative votes are unlikely to present a negotiable way forward so let us not allow ourselves to be worn down by the relentless efforts of those who despise the 17.4 million people who voted to throw off the shackles of Brussels.’ (Emphases mine)

He begins yesterday’s article in fighting spirit:

‘We are now engaged in a war of attrition, as the Prime Minister seeks to achieve support for the toxic deal which she allowed the EU to impose on her and the referendum-defying Remainer horde in Parliament try to beat the truculent British public into submitting to their plan to keep us in the EU.

‘The latest tactic is their plan for Parliament to vote on alternatives to the Withdrawal Agreement. They describe it as Parliament taking control and the message which they are blasting out is that further resistance is futile because the Remainers are in charge. This message also suits the Prime Minister because she has used the claim that a Remain Parliament is taking control to try and bully those who want to leave the EU into supporting her flawed and damaging deal. The threat is that, if the Withdrawal Agreement is not supported, these Remainers will vote for alternatives which means no Brexit.

‘First of all let us be clear: the Withdrawal Agreement itself means no Brexit. It ensures that the EU has the legal power to prevent us ever leaving except on their draconian terms, which would include a Customs Union and adherence to EU regulations. Those who negotiated the agreement have been quite open about that. They insist that the terms of the deal will be the basis for any future relationship with the EU. They also make it clear that different treatment for Northern Ireland will have to continue…’

According to a prayer coordinator in Parliament at January’s Wembley Day of Prayer, all elected members of the DUP are born-again Christians, and doubtless appreciate the dynamics of the spiritual battle we are in far more than practically every other MP.

However, as the EU’s deceit and PM’s complicity has been public knowledge for some time, perhaps that is not what the Lord refers to by (Monday Newsmix #4 refers):

“There is one more deception to be revealed”

MAY-MERKEL MEETINGS

Could the deception referred to have something to do with details of the May-Merkel discussions leading up to last Summer’s infamous ‘Chequers Deal’? Could the secret details of their discussions be where the deception lies? Even ‘subversive’ as some contend!

I well recall, either last July or December, seeing a large photo like this shown below from Did Angela Merkel approve Theresa May’s Brexit plan in advance? and being astonished at perceiving behind a knowing grin of agreement, a direct look saying,

“It’s in the bag. We sealed the deal!”

And maybe on that trip to Berlin last December, the Lord locked Theresa May into her car to make her think and realise she shouldn’t be meeting this person???

Thank you to ‘Jean F’ for sending this useful opinion which may help us understand the complexity of the PM’s attempt to change the law over our leaving the EU this Friday.

NI-Eire Prophecy Update #6: DUP prefers Brexit delay to the ‘prison’ of May’s Withdrawal Agreement

Posted on by
Reply

Further to the prophetic words recently given to Emma Stark and to Veronika West on a delay to Brexit and developments in the Backstop to PM May’s Withdrawal Agreement, this afternoon the DUP delivers a hammer blow to Theresa May… . This news reads:

‘The DUP has delivered a hammer blow to Theresa May’s chances of getting her deal agreed by MPs as the party said a one year delay would be a “better strategy” than the “prison” of the Withdrawal Agreement.  [Some say recent proposals would move the UK from ‘vassalage’ to ‘slavery’: RB]

‘Sammy Wilson, the party’s Brexit spokesman, said that if Brexit was postponed for 12 months the UK would at least “have a say on the things which affect us”.

‘The support of the DUP’s 10 MPs is viewed as crucial to Mrs May’s hopes of securing a House of Commons majority for her deal which has already been crushed twice.

‘Writing for The Telegraph, Mr Wilson said: “Even if we are forced into a one-year extension, we at least would have a say on the things which affect us during that time and would have the right to unilaterally decide to leave at the end of that one-year period through the simple decision of not applying for a further extension.

“Surely this is a better strategy than volunteering to be locked into the prison of the withdrawal deal with the cell door key in the pocket of Michel Barnier?”

Monday newsmix #5: politician refers to same scripture prophets use for Brexit!!

Thank you Sarah for drawing my attention to Sky News’ reference to Boris Johnson’s remarks closing his op-ed column in today’s Telegraph, as on today’s front page:

Non-Christian Boris’ reference to the means of PM Theresa May’s becoming inspired is  faulty in its inaccurate grasp of scriptural dynamics in Exodus chapters 5 to 10.  Instead of referring to ‘channeling’, which is forbidden because it enables discarnate and any unclean spirits too gain access to the human soul, he’d be better writing that the PM should be inspired by Moses’ obedience to God in demanding “Let my people go!”

Nevertheless, his conclusion echoes the prophetic prayers and declarations many have found applicable to our national situation, and thus quote for Britain leaving the EU.

“Here is some glorious progress!” announces Roger in South Africa in alerting me to this in yesterday’s Belfast Telegraph (re Emma Stark prophetic word on Backstop & Brexit):

Fulfilled Prophecy #13 cont’d: German alarm at dangerous ultimatum on Brexit

Posted on by
7

And now the third piece of the jigsaw puzzle, to which I referred earlier:

German alarm grows over the EU’d dangerous ultimatum terms for Britain, runs the Telegraph business page headline to Ambrose Evans-Pritchard’s article of late last night. His report begins with my emphasis:

‘Ever louder voices in Germany are denouncing the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement as a fundamental failure of European statecraft that can lead only to a diplomatic debacle and festering animosity.

‘If the EU’s ultimatum policy causes a geostrategic rupture with a pillar of the European defence, security, and financial system – sooner or later, as it surely must under the existing terms – the recriminations in Berlin will be ugly.

“Europe is well on the way to inflicting huge damage on itself for decades by the way it has handled the failed Brexit talks,” said Marcel Fratzscher, head of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) in Berlin.

‘Professor Fratzscher says the EU is undermining its own democratic legitimacy by demanding that Westminster MPs swallow the Barnier package with a “gun to their chest” and subject to threats of “catastrophic consequences” after two-thirds have already rejected it.

‘Parliament is fully justified in rejecting a backstop arrangement that would lock UK in a customs union against its will.  “No sovereign nation could agree to such terms lightly. The Bundestag itself could hardly have voted otherwise in comparable circumstances,” he wrote in Der Spiegel this week.

‘He argues that if MPs capitulate and accept the Withdrawal Agreement this would be “just as catastrophic” as a no-deal Brexit.

‘The point is obvious: it is a constitutional absurdity to try to imprison a military power with a large industrial economy in the EU’s regulatory and legal orbit without EU voting rights. This must blow up in acrimony and end in an abrogation crisis.‘

After giving his detailed insights, Ambrose concludes:

‘Whatever is being said today will not last a week if there is a no-deal. The EU will resort to emergency standby arrangements to keep trade flowing for its own political self-preservation. It will discover the beauty of trusted traders, blockchain technology, and the once derided ‘MaxFac’ solution for the Irish border.

‘Discussions between Britain and the EU might suddenly take a very refreshing turn.’

NI-Eire Prophecy Update #2: northern and southern Irish leaders meet Trump and Pence

Posted on by
3

Once again, the pieces of an invisible jigsaw start falling into place. The ‘God-incidents’ behind the timing this post and incoming related material is noteworthy in creating the next posts because renovations priorities had delayed my dealing with this news from last week.

Further to the third and much more extensive prophecy Emma Stark brought on Brexit and its critical issue of the Northern Ireland Backstop, and subsequent news of Arlene Foster and Leo Varadkar’s meeting over the ‘Pond’ noted in Update 1, I now flag their meetings with President Trump and VP Pence.:

First, however, note the pertinent part of that prophetic word (emphases mine):

And the Lord says, “Do not fear, even if there is a delay. Do not fear, if that looks like increased chaos.” For the Lord says, “There is an order, and I will start in Ireland,” And they will form such a new understanding, and a new relationship with one another, that the Lord says, “It will be a model for what I want to do in nations and how they will relate to each other, even across the continent of Europe and beyond.” But the Lord says, “I am beginning a work of reconciliation and seeing each other and solution in Ireland.”

‘And the Lord says, “That is going to even have an effect on Brexit.” The Lord says, “Let Ireland be solved first before Brexit can be unpacked and fully realised.” And you can see God working in an order around the nation, from Ireland in the south, up to Northern Ireland and across, down into Westminster. And the Lord is saying in this hour that we are to pray, even for the EU and even for Theresa May and Westminster, to give Ireland space and to not dominate in that place so that the Lord can raise up these leaders to see each other.’

Varadkar’s Meetings

The two leaders’ official visit to last week’s renowned St Patrick’s Day celebrations in the USA afforded them a time to escape the political atmosphere of Europe and the British Isles.

It is possible they may, therefore, felt freer and able to perceive issues from another perspective without the immediate pressures of the Brexit and EU politics. I’m sure ‘the Donald’ conveyed his personal opinions and insights on the situation with Taoiseach Varadkar, who may have thus been sufficiently open-minded to consider new, different approaches to developing the future relationship between Eire and Britain, as promised in that prophetic word.

Let me point out for visitors and newer readers of this blog, Donald Trump’s statement in January 2017 (whilst President-elect) about Britain wanting its own identity free from Europe, was prophesied five years earlier!  (Full details in Fulfilled Prophecy #15.)

Trump_LV

I trust Varadkar had the opportunity to, and begin to, appreciate the whole issue from a Christian perspective, particularly after dining with evangelical Vice-President Mike Pence.

Those meetings combined with that prophecy’s details, especially upon his ‘subversive’ character and how the Lord proposes to use him (even as an openly gay leader!), may go some way to understanding his motives behind yesterday’s declaration, which Adam MacCarthaigh at Brexit Central calls ‘meddling’ and I suspect he’s misconstrued what’s really happening. Here’s what’s happened:

Today’s Irish Examiner on Taoiseach: Cut Britain some slack reports his current stance on Brexit as follows:

‘Speaking in Dublin, Mr Varadkar said when he arrives for the EU summit in Brussels tomorrow, he will be arguing that prime minister Theresa May be given some space to seek to get approval for her deal.

“There is a real risk that we wish to avoid — of no-deal happening by accident despite people’s best intentions,” he said.

“It’s time now to cut them some slack, to cut the British government some slack, when it comes to their request for an extension and when it comes to their request that the Strasbourg Agreement be ratified formally by the European Council over the next two days. “

‘He added that the Irish Government was willing to support both of the British requests, but he reiterated that it was “not entertaining any change to the Withdrawal Agreement or the backstop”.

Foster’s Meetings

Here’s extracts from BBC Northern Ireland’s report (thank you again Roger) President Donald Trump meets Arlene Foster in Washington:

Trump_AF

‘Arlene Foster met US President Donald Trump at a St Patrick’s Day celebrations lunch in Washington on Thursday hosted by the House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, US vice president Mike Pence and other high-profile political figures were also in attendance.

‘Mrs Foster has said she hopes to invite Mr Trump to attend the Open Championship at Portrush this July (telling) BBC News NI that she would “very much” like to see the US president visit Northern Ireland…

‘Mr Trump has said he will be visiting the Republic of Ireland at some point this year.

‘During a press conference with the taoiseach, the US president confirmed he would make the trip because Ireland is “a special place” (adding) that he and Mr Varadkar have become “fast friends”.’ (!!!)

Next, we look at some historical items that happened to turn up this morning – oh what a coincidence!

Update on ’10 years on and freedom of speech is now in handcuffs’

Posted on by

In 10 years on and freedom of speech is now in handcuffs I covered the example of Christophobia exhibited in the dubious arrest in February of street preacher Olewole Ilesanme outside Southgate tube station. The police have changed their story and so Christian Concern has issued this press release about his case:

There is so much to update you on as the story of street preacher Oluwole continues to develop, and we want to ask if you will pray with us. Over the past week:

Tomorrow (Thursday 21 March) Oluwole’s amazing journey since the video of his arrest went viral will continue at London City Hall. From 10am, London Assembly members will address three questions to London Mayor Sadiq Khan. Read the questions that will be put to the Mayor of London.

This represents an important opportunity to ask the man responsible for the police in London about the treatment of Christian street preachers on our capital’s streets. The whole session will be live-streamed and we plan to provide coverage throughout the day on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

In a country that used to lead the way in upholding Christian freedoms, freedom of speech is now under attack.

We’ve reached an important moment.

Will you join with Christians across the world to pray for street preacher Oluwole and our team?

If you can, please pray:

  • For street preacher Oluwole and that he will be protected and encouraged
  • For Sadiq Khan that he will recognise the need to do more to protect Christian freedoms in London

LATEST on Brexit delay

Posted 15:40hrs (per Telegraph Online Live News, emphasis mine)

‘Theresa May will ask European leaders to delay Brexit after John Bercow’s bombshell intervention plunged Britain into a “constitutional crisis”, Downing Street has confirmed.

‘Following a prolonged Cabinet meeting this morning, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said she would now write to Donald Tusk “in relation to an extension”.

‘Whilst they refused to say how long a delay she would request, it is understood that Mrs May will ask for an extension running until 30 June, which could be extended if a deal has still not been ratified by Parliament…’

That date fits closely with previous post prophecies regarding 9 months October 2018 to July 2019 delay -see Fear Not – Watch Next 4 Months.

NI-Eire Prophecy Update #1: northern and southern Irish leaders meet in Washington

Thank you to Roger Jervois in South Africa for alerting me to BBC News item DUP talk to government about Brexit deal, posted approx 13:30. You will note photo and details are directly relevant to the prophetic word brought by Emma Stark on the Backstop and Irish border, part of which reads:

‘And the Lord says, “I will put an ability for them to look at each other, see each other, dialogue with each other, communicate with each other.” And the Lord says, “I will strike them with holy lightning that there may be a resolution and a new relationship that has grown between the North and the South on the landmass of Ireland…”

BBC NI Political Reporter Jane McCormack’s item aligns with the further details within the prophetic word Emma delivered, for she writes,

‘A Brexit deal could still be reached in the next few weeks because the “final part of a negotiation” is when it matters most, the DUP leader has said.

‘Speaking from Washington DC, Arlene Foster said the last part of talks is “when you start to see the whites in people’s eyes”.

‘Her party is in discussions with the government, amid reports it could back the PM’s Brexit deal. This follows MPs’ rejection of the idea of leaving the EU with no deal.

‘Mrs Foster, who is attending St Patrick’s Day events this week, said DUP representatives were speaking to the government and Attorney General Geoffrey Cox about changes to the deal.

“Nobody wants to leave without a deal and we want to make sure we get there,” she told BBC News NI.

‘The DUP leader said her party wanted the UK to leave the EU with a deal, but that her party had certain tests it must meet before they will back it.

‘It’s no surprise that the DUP find themselves centre stage in the Brexit soap opera once again. Their votes have been crucial throughout the Brexit process, and they haven’t been shy of reminding the PM how much power they wield from time to time. That being said, Wednesday night’s votes in Parliament surely did not go how the DUP had hoped. And the government’s publication of its no-deal tariff plans for Northern Ireland have turned up the political heat.

‘Quiet conversations will be happening all across Westminster, and in Washington today, to see if there is any way through this cloud of political smog.

‘Mrs Foster also confirmed that she had discussions with Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Leo Varadkar in Washington on Wednesday. She said they had a private meeting where they talked about a range of matters, but that Brexit was on the agenda.

‘Mr Varadkar also welcomed the Westminster vote against a no-deal Brexit, saying things are looking a “little brighter”.

“Reflection period”

‘Meanwhile, the Tánaiste (deputy prime minister) Simon Coveney has said a Brexit extension of 21 months is possible. Mr Coveney told Irish national broadcaster RTÉ that a long extension would give the UK a “reflection period” about the kind of Brexit it wants.

‘He said he believed an extension would be granted as long as there was an associated plan, which might lead to a fundamental rethink.

‘Mr Coveney added that events in the House of Commons on Wednesday night marked a turning point for Brexit. He said it was “very reassuring to show that they don’t want to crash out of EU without a deal”, but accepted that a “crash-out” was still legally possible.

‘It is hoped that Brexit might take a positive turn over the next week, meaning more certainty, he added.’

NB: A week ago today, Arlene Foster was named ‘Female Politician of the Year’ at a prestigious ceremony in London.  (Past winners at the event include Civil Rights Leader Rev Jesse Jackson and former Prime Minister David Cameron.) The DUP leader and Fermanagh-South Tyrone assembly member won the award at the Asian Voice and Political and Public Awards, hosted by Labour MP Keith Vaz. (The Irish News)

10 years on and freedom of speech is now in handcuffs

The previous post included the opening part of my email dated 10 years ago today, but omitted the following after the reference to nurses forbidden to pray for patients:

‘However, this is just one instance of the growing persecution of believers, principally through a policy supposedly promoting toleration but that’s now a tyrannical tool of intolerance – Equality & Diversity. There are other powers of suppression. Even the previous director of MI5 warns about UK sleep-walking into a police state (“Abject nonsense” responded a government minister who lives on another planet). Rampant lawlessness now exists not only in society but also within legal authorities….’ [emphasis added]

Religio-political blogger Cranmer compares brief videos of the very disturbing difference in treatment meted out by the police to a quiet Christian street preacher and then to an extremely abusive Muslim preacher. Continue reading →

Clifford Hill on God’s turning disaster into prosperity

Posted on by

Am pleased to learn the opening news in the reverend doctor’s latest editorial (click title below for link), as well as his aligning with what I’d heard elsewhere (footnotes refer). I particularly note his closing remarks about a coming spiritual awakening and revival:

TURNING DISASTER INTO PROSPERITY

God Is Working His Purposes Out.

Yesterday I had the privilege of speaking to a packed fringe meeting at the Church of England Synod in Westminster. There were a number of bishops and clergy of all ranks and the general atmosphere was one of deep concern for the state of the nation. The meeting was in Church House alongside Westminster Abbey and I think we were all aware of events across the road, where our politicians are struggling with seemingly intractable problems.

If any of those attending the meeting came expecting, or even hoping for, easy answers or joyful tidings, I’m afraid they would have gone away disappointed. The primary message I had to give was that God holds the Church responsible for the moral and spiritual state of the nation. I had been asked to speak about my latest book, ‘The Reshaping of Britain: Church and State since the 1960s’. I spoke about the last four Archbishops of Canterbury who I’ve known and worked alongside; and I spoke about the lack of a prophetic voice from the Church giving leadership to the nation in a time of revolutionary social, economic and political change.

It was not a comfortable message and in the short time of discussion it was clear that there are no easy answers to the situation. How do you bring creative, biblically-based change into an organisation as massive as the Church of England? I was only able to repeat what I’ve said so many times that there will be no revival in the nation until there is repentance in the Church. Of course, this is no easy message for those who are dealing with a multitude of pastoral problems in their congregations.

Right Understanding

One of the clergy asked, “Should we be encouraging young people in our churches to go into politics?” I know it is a very lonely and difficult place for Christians in the House of Commons at present. If there were a significant number of those who uphold biblical values and whose trust is in God, it would undoubtedly change the dynamics of politics and that should be a future hope and objective for all church leaders.

But I think it would take away a lot of our fear about the present political mess in the nation and our vast array of social problems if we simply understood what is going on. This means discerning the difference between the social engineering that has been driving the nation for the past 40 or 50 years generated by secular humanist advocates, and what is divine activity initiated by God.

Most Christians do not think in these terms because we do not rightly handle the whole word of God. We concentrate upon the Gospels and Epistles, but neglect to study the biblical Prophets, whom God used to reveal his nature and purposes to humanity in preparation for the coming of Messiah. Without a thorough understanding of this background we can never understand what God is doing in the world today. I said yesterday that this should be the major concern of church leaders today.

Listen to this from Isaiah 45:7: “I am the Lord, and there is no other. I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things.” All the Prophets recognised that God creates disaster! But he is more than ready to change disaster into prosperity!!! In fact, that is God’s purpose! He is longing to see his children enjoying the blessings of those who uphold righteousness and live by the standards of truth he has revealed in his word over many thousands of years.

Shaking All Things

God is at present shaking all the nations, as he first revealed to the Prophet Haggai in 520 BC, the significance of which for today is explained in the New Testament in Hebrews 12. You can see this in the upheavals and bitter Brexit divisions in Britain, in the rise of the populist movement in many countries throughout Europe, and in the fear of the Brussels elite at what may happen in the EU election in May this year.

You can see it in the USA, where there has never before been such bitter division between Republicans and Democrats. You can see it in the upheavals in South America, in Venezuela; similarly in Africa, especially in Nigeria in recent days, in the Middle East, in the distressing humanitarian crises in Yemen and Syria, and in many other parts of the world.

It is not only the nations that are being shaken, but all the great institutions in which we human beings put our trust – including the Church! Right now, the Roman Catholic Church is being torn asunder by having to face the sexual sins of its clergy over many decades that are being revealed to the public. Successive Popes have delayed the day of reckoning for many years, but the Vatican is having to face the uncomfortable truth that a system of forced celibacy in a social climate of sexual libertarianism is a recipe for disaster! Large numbers of clergy have misused their spiritual power for sexual gratification, exploiting vulnerable children and adults. The day of judgment has arrived, and this has not just been brought about by social pressure, but by the judgement of God

For Love

Why is God shaking everything? It may be amazing to those who do not study the whole word of God – but when God brings judgment upon the evil institutions of humanity it is an expression of his LOVE!

God so loved the world that he gave his own Son to save humanity from self-destruction. But our tiny minds simply cannot comprehend the magnitude of God’s purposes without the divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit to flood his truth into our lives.

Let me give a small illustration of the great truth that I’m trying to convey. For more than 30 years I have been trying to teach a basic sociological truth that when you weaken and undermine the family, you destroy the social fabric of society, because the family is the linchpin holding everything together. This is what we have done in Western society and this is the underlying cause of knife crime, gang warfare, drug use, bullying, depression and suicide. We have crucified truth and produced an age of fake news, lies, hatred and violence, driven by the forces of darkness that we have embraced.

But amidst all this, God is working out his purposes to bring human beings to the point where they recognise that they have no solutions to the problems they have created. When they begin to cry out ‘O God, what has gone wrong?’ God knows they will be then open to the truth. He is calling upon his Church to be ready for a great spiritual awakening! Not a revival of the old institutions that we call churches, but a genuine new openness to the truth, met by a Church that genuinely both lives and declares the unchanging word of God.

That is the way disaster will be turned into prosperity! And the good news is that we may not be far from the turning point!

Dr Clifford Hill, 22nd February

RB Footnotes:
  1. Re. ‘shaking’ – about 20 years ago the Lord opened Hebrews 12:18-29 to me at a house-group and I was impressed to read it aloud, although no-one followed up. Hence, my blog’s covering an increasing number of prophecies on The Shaking; eg. in ‘a new season of shaking’ and ‘a merciful but severe course correction’. I’m aware that Dr Hill’s mentioned it many times before.
  2. Re. ‘prosperity’ – the foundational NT verse for this is central to Revd Dr Sharon Stone’s mentoring day as well as our associate minister’s message, on Sat 9th and Sun 10th February (ie. preceding Clifford Hill’s editorial): Matt 6:32-3 “…But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His Kingdom and His righteousness (his way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given to you besides…”
  3. Sharon’s session was the first in a track on principles behind wealth creation for a nation, introducing it with: “This morning we’re at a fresh place in our covenant – everything old is being left behind as we move into a fresh phase of ‘more’.”  
  4. After having read Dr Hill’s and ProphecyTodayUK’s judgmental condemnation of other ministries at the Wembley Day of Prayer, my reaction was that it would be far more appropriate to direct it at the apostasy and support of satan’s agenda in Anglican and other churches, and calling on them to repent!  So it’s good he’s at last addressed an Anglican synod – BUT, did they repent??  He doesn’t say.

Fulfilled Prophecy #25.2 – A Failed Coup!

Here’s welcome news of an ‘Autopsy of a Dead Coup’ – that is, the outcome of a worse than Watergate scandal surfacing.  Perhaps we’ll soon see the Lord cut puppet-master Soros’ strings, as foretold by Veronika West last September. The original item, Autopsy of a Dead Coup, is well-worth reading in its entirety!

Victor Davis Hanson in American Greatness reminds us that for the last three years,

we have been living through something unique in American History, an attempted coup against the legitimately elected President, by the bureaucracy. With the help, of course, of the so-called news media, and much of the coastal elite. Here’s VDH: [T]he illegal […]

Europe recognised as modern ‘Babylon’ – guess by whom!

Posted on by

A couple of comments submitted this week offer informative insights into the scriptural and contemporary recognition of the European Union as being akin to ancient Babylon, in addition to the EU Parliament in Strasbourg being built like the Tower of Babel. That brought by a Muslim refugee seeking entry into Europe is exceptionally striking:

Graham of Plymouth commented as follows on this blog’s Contact page:

‘Hi all
‘I am new to Richards Watch and have found it very interesting; confirming many things I have felt; and helping me to pray more specifically. I wanted to share something I feel the Lord shared with me. ….

‘Just after the referendum in 2016 I was chatting to the Lord.
I asked him why the result was 51.8% to leave. Why wasn’t it 52%?!
As I pondered this question I looked up a few chapter 51 verse 8s and this is what Jeremiah 51.8 says…

8 But suddenly, Babylon will fall
and be destroyed.
I, the LORD, told the foreigners
who lived there,
“Weep for the city!
Get medicine for its wounds;
perhaps they will heal.”

‘This seems to confirm what many are saying; that the EU is a type of Babylon; that it is sick and corrupt through and through and will fall before long.

‘Verse 9 continues…

9 The foreigners answered,
“We have already tried
to treat Babylon’s wounds,
but they would not heal.
Come on, let’s all go home
to our own countries.
Nothing is left in Babylonia;
everything is destroyed.”

‘On Richards Watch I have read contributors who say the EU can’t be saved or reformed and this seems to confirm this. I also found it interesting how “foreigners” discuss the situation and decide to go home to their own countries!

‘Confirmation if we needed it that the EU is in a mess and it’s time to leave!’

Graham kindly agreed to copy this observation onto the recent post on the exposure of The Spiritual Nature of Brexit vs EU Battle, as well as to the reference page featuring the EU’s Tower of Babel shown at the start of Significant Spiritual Signs.

About that last entry, Margaret now comments at Triple Synchronisation of ‘Jigsaw Pieces’ as follows (emphases mine):

‘I read Graham from Plymouth comment on Significant Spiritual Signs re tower babel last night. The night before I had watched a recording of Simon Reeve’s Middle East tour where he was with refugees hiding near a border in Morocco waiting to try and get into Europe via Spain. One of these was talking to Simon saying, “We need to get to Babylon” – I think Simon asked if he meant Iraq, but he said no – Europe. “You call Europe, Babylon?” “Yes” the refugee casually said, as if Simon should have known that all along!’

On behalf of us all, I thank you Graham and Margaret for such helpful contributions.

Now, what do ordinary Muslims know that Eurocrats, ordinary Europeans, politicians as well as many churchgoers here don’t?  Could that remark explain why Muslims were the religious grouping most in favour (69:31) of Britain staying in the EU (source)?

Is that Muslim’s opinion not a severe indictment upon our spiritual ignorance!
