As mentioned in 6 events over 6 days, Alan messaged me on Friday as follows, and you know from my introductory piece that I can strongly recommend his kind offer :

“Thank you so much, Richard, for endorsing my book. I’ve been following Richard’s Watch since 2016 or so, (before we actually met). Keep up the good work faithful servant.

If any of your readers is a member of a home-group or church that is interested in exploring Revelation and other End-time prophecy, then I am happy to give a 1 hour introduction to help them on their journey (in person if close to home, on Zoom or MS Teams otherwise).

And, subject to availability, timing and the level of interest, I could subsequently deliver a 4 week (1 hour per week) mini-course via Microsoft Teams or Zoom, following the same pattern as in the book. (Or maybe run this a few times a year).

Week 1: from John’s time to the start of the seven-year Tribulation (signalled by a new peace-treaty in the Middle East). Rev. 2 to Rev. 8.

Week 2: First 3½ years of the seven-year Tribulation (which ends when Antichrist reveals his true nature and desecrates the new Jewish Temple). Rev. 8 to Rev. 11. (mid-Tribulation Rev. 14).

Week 3: Last 3½ years of the seven-year Tribulation (i.e. the time of ‘Jacob’s Trouble’ / the (terrible) ‘Day of the Lord’). Rev. 12 to Rev. 13 and Rev. 15 to Rev. 19.

Week 4: Christ’s 1000-year (Millennial) reign on Earth, the final battle and defeat of Satan and his judgement. Judgement Day for all humans (alive or dead). The new heaven & new Earth – including the new Jerusalem.  ‘Eden’ restored. Rev. 20 to Rev. 22. ”

6 events over 6 days on Book of Revelation = Pay Attention!

Chilling out after a demanding few days online, on the first day’s evening of our long weekend we took a friend with us to spend a couple of hours in non-stop Spirit-led worship. Alan Shemwell, author of Trustworthy and True had sent a thank you message but I was intrigued to now hear a new relevance of the Book of Revelation only to be more astonished that the evening began with this full quotation of Rev 1:10-26:

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, 11 saying, [g]“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches[h]which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying [i]to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of[j]Hades and of Death.19 [k]Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.20 The[l]mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the[m]angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands [n]which you saw are the seven churches…”

SO, MY ATTENTION WAS WELL AND TRULY CAUGHT AND I RECALLED HOW OFTEN THESE VERSES HAD FEATURED AND BEEN REPEATED THOUGHOUT THE WEEK – THEREFORE, IT MUST BE WHAT THE LORD IS SAYING TO THE CHURCH > REPETITIONS STRESSING, ‘PAY ATTENTION!’

Therefore, here’s the week’s daily sequence of ‘jigsaw pieces’:

  1. Sunday – Elam Ministries director on Revelation chapter 1.
  2. Monday – house group discussion of Sunday’s teaching on Rev 1.
  3. Tuesday – Chris G Bennett posts on Facebook above Rev 1 AI-image.
  4. Wednesday – I used image for Triple47 post in drafting introduction to Alan’s book on the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
  5. Thursday – with ‘coincidence’ of Amazon pricing, posted outline of Trustworthy & True + our church’s post-Alpha evening course looks at Revelation.
  6. Friday – read message from Alan about follow-up study groups + opening invocation of worship at Waverley quotes from Revelation 1, as above.

So would there be a 7th event? Had we not been at a friend’s 30th birthday party on Saturday then I may have been able to publish Alan’s message, which is now next post.

Meantime, do listen to this worship song about Jesus’ return…

Timing? Triple ’47’ applies! Then comes today’s ‘God-incidence’!

Early Tuesday morning I was musing over my WApp to the previous evening’s house group “I submit that the timing is surely of the Lord, for not only myself but others too, I trust” – as well as in recent blogs of current news and changes across Islam delaying my introducing a friend’s new book on the Book of Revelation.

Then came Sunday’s service featuring the mission to Iran of Elam Ministries together with excellent teaching on Revelation 1.

(With gratitude to Chris G Bennett for AI image)

Immediately upon musing “Whyever I should think there may be any significance of timing, am I imagining it, why me?”, this came straight to mind, as though a Holy Spirit ‘drop’:

“It’s triple 47: 47th year (my birth) of 20th Century! 47th year of Iranian regime! 47th US president!”

By the way regarding numerics, the timing of Michael Bennet’s What Was Whispered email at 11:10 yesterday is significant regarding our ‘3-in-1’ God: thus 11 = The Father and Son (“The Father is in me and I in Him” John 10:38) and 10 = Holy Spirit; zero being nothing is ignored and so 10 is 1. AND as told at the close below, we have yet more evidence of the Lord’s hand in the timing of this post and the next post.

Also, in that blogged ‘briefing’ I refer to a very personal experience in 2019 of the Lord’s glory in a Catch The Fire conference in Fleet, Hampshire. Nina and I knew the pastor and wife and a leader of CTF, Alan Shemwell, later led an excellent study of the Book of Revelation, even presenting attendees with certificates. I asked, therefore, about the availability of his notes and diagrams available and the story unfolds below…and I note that 1989 is the re-start of both our lives!!

BIO

‘Alan was always enthralled with ‘End-time’ stories even before becoming a Christian, at age 26 in 1989. Then he was drawn to the books of Revelation and Daniel.

He struggled to make sense of prophecies, especially the number of years mentioned, which simply didn’t add-up. He jumped at the chance to hear any speaker on Revelation. Almost always, their interpretations simply did not sit right with his spirit and seemed too naïve, simplistic, biased, dismissive, worldly – seemingly quick, lazily formed interpretations, not well thought through, and not Holy Spirit inspired.

For 35 years he sought a clearer, more rounded, unified, God-inspired interpretation.

Alan has been happily married to wife Sian for 35 years. They met in school (6th-Form). and have 3 sons, all in their 20s. Alan and Sian became Christians at the same Billy Graham event in Aldershot, a year before they married. They moved from Somerset to Hook, Hampshire and found a lively, Spirit-filled church.

Within months they were leading home-groups, involved in evangelistic outreach, attending international Christian conferences by John Wimber and other notable Christian pioneers. For years they led Christian introduction (Alpha) courses. Their journey of faith was on an exponential trajectory. They are still very active in their walk of faith. Until recently they were part of the core-team for a new Catch-the-Fire church plant in Farnborough. Alan enjoys street evangelism, Healing-on-the-Street (HOTS) and Christian teaching. Sian is gifted in hearing and responding to God’s heart – demonstrating compassion for the lost and broken.’

As for myself, Richard, having been introduced to eschatology and geopolitical history of the Middle-East a few years before becoming born-again in 1989, and 20 years later began emailing on the subject and attending Neil Mackereth’s teaching at Winchester Vineyard and launching this blog in November 2011, I found Alan’s to be an excellent course. He relates The Apocalypse (Greek title) to current events and I’m pleased he’s now been able to find a publisher.  And I particularly like his easy-to-read style and typography.

GOD-INCIDENTAL TIMING

Alan posts only occasionally on his Facebook but for once I dropped in this morning and find this of Monday relating to TODAY:

“The book is also available on the Waterstones.com site. The prices on Amazon.co.uk are currently not correct. I’m told this often happens with Amazon, just before publishing date but will soon correct itself on the Publishing date 26th March. Pricing is correct on Waterstones.com”

SO I invite my readers and visitors to read all about Trustworthy and True in the next post in a few hours and seriously consider buying…

Jesus appeared in a Muslim family’s dreams

Further to last week’s post on the widening schism in Islam and my closing reference to my email of 16 February 2011 recounting a dream vision of 6 January 1992 on the fall of Islam, now featured with updates of June 2025 and January 2026 atop this blog’s home page, let’s  briefly remind ourselves of its details:

‘The BBC late evening news on 6th January 1992 announced that leaders in the Muslim community wanted to establish a Muslim parliament in Britain…:

In a dream that night I saw Western Europe, mainly France and the Mediterranean, as if from the space shuttle and heard the popular worship chorus ‘All Hail The Lamb’  being sung, as if in the atmosphere!

This praise was repeated many times most melodiously, as though by angelic choir, and seemed to spiral upwards. Then I heard a very loud, authoritative voice declare, “As Communism fell, so too will Islam fall”.

I understood this as the Almighty’s declaration that Islam’s demise would come when Muslims themselves want to be free and rise up en-masse. Clearly, by referring to the events that had rippled across the Eastern Bloc to end the Soviet empire, we could expect a similar, unanticipated wave to sweep across Africa, the Middle East and Asia to the Pacific. It, too, would be like dominoes falling….’

Now watch, or read the auto-transcript in view of surrounding sounds, this powerful testimonial of an ardent Muslim who’d supervised school prayer times when a child:  [My ’22’ turns up yet again]

168,971 views 3 Mar 2026 #christiannews #politicalnews #breakingnews

The Rev. Shah Ahmadi, an evangelist, pastor, and the director of strategic alliances for Iran Alive Ministries, grew up in Iran and lived under its repressive regime for 22 years.

He recently told CBN News about his upbringing and eventual decision to flee Iran for the U.S. “When I was age 8, my dad took me to the mosque, so I start learning about Islam because of my dad,” he said, noting his father, who has since become a Christian, was once a devout Muslim. “He took me to there because, in Iran, [the] only religion you can practice is Islam.”

By age 13, Ahmadi was memorizing the Koran. And he eventually went on to get a degree in survey engineering — and became one of the top engineers in the country. With this position came prestige and a life he loved. But that eventually came to an end. Ahmadi was working in a petrochemical factory and came into the Iranian government’s crosshairs after reportedly seeing a secretive government installation.

Suddenly, he was being investigated and interrogated and asked if he had a connection with Israel or with America. “We said, ‘No, no, no. I have nothing to do with them,'” he recalled, noting he soon was warned that he would be killed if he didn’t flee the nation. “I couldn’t say bye to my family, my mom and my dad, and this was hardest part of my life.” Ahmadi continued, “I had to escape illegally from Iran because, if I go through the border, they would arrest me. So there was a winter time in our area … There’s a lot of snow. So I had to pass the mountain between Iran and Turkey border.” A smuggler took Ahmadi and strangers accompanying him on the difficult journey. “That was like hardest, hardest part of my life,” he said. “I’m just running for my life and the fear, and … I don’t know [if] I’m gonna be die. I don’t know the area.”

Once in Turkey, Ahmadi had to figure out who he could trust. With Iranian agents purportedly operating inside Turkey, he wasn’t sure who would be safe to confide in. “That’s when I start drinking, smoking because I looked at the world, how they are getting satisfied, how they are overcoming the pain, the loss I had,” he said. “God — Islam didn’t answer me.” At that point, praying and fasting in the Islamic tradition simply didn’t help him find his footing. Eventually, Ahmadi made his way to England, where he continued to party — until someone presented him with the Gospel message.

For over 20 years, CBN has beamed life-giving Farsi broadcasts into Iran despite internet shutdowns. Now, with war erupting across the country today and civilians facing mass displacement and suffering, CBN is ready to deliver prayer support, emergency food, humanitarian aid, and the hope of Jesus to families whose lives have been upended by conflict.

WOW, WOTTA WEEKEND of ‘God-incidental’ prophecies and worship!

The day after hearing Mark Iles’ reference to triple S (‘Stand-up, Step-up, Speak-up”) and reading Chris G Bennet heard the Lord say “Wake up..!” – another triple-S was delivered in Sunday morning’s service by our long-time visiting preacher from Inverness Vineyard, Pete Gilbert. Play video to watch:

WOW, WOTTA WEEKEND of ‘God-incidental’ prophecies and worship!

After such an astonishing morning look what I found that evening that Chris G Bennett in Rotherham had posted on his Facebook the previous morning. I shared with intro: ‘ECHOES WHAT WAS TAUGHT IN PROPHECY SCHOOL THIS MORNING…’:

‘WAKE UP…..

I was sitting here this morning asking Father what to write, when He said, “WAKE UP”…

Actually, although nobody else could hear it, this was a shout.

I don’t think of our Lord shouting, but He did then.

Yet it was a silent shout… loud enough to get my attention.
“That’s what I want you to write.”
“Wake up……. Don’t keep your head in the sand.”

Sometimes, no more needs to be said…’

Again, little did I know MORE was to come …in the 3rd Wake Up!

Wowee, Wotta Weekend of ‘God-incidental’ prophecies and worship!

You may have seen brief passing references on my Facebook and Telegram to what I ‘God-incidentally’ witnessed last weekend, and then some more confirmation came that reminded me of the open vision of Britain I had 22 years ago – OH, my birthday number turns up yet again (I should have kept count of its occurrences of items popping into my view, either in timings or number of shown likes/comments captured in screenshots).

So my friends, kindly bear with this being a personal journal and I trust you’ll appreciate the content of this mini-series. (For brevity’s sake am omitting a pre-waking dream that I came to understand as the morning progressed.)

During the hour’s journey to Saturday morning’s Prophetic Peoples’ Forum at Waypoint Church, Titchfield Common, Fareham I played a non-stop forty minute spontaneous soaking worship CD – Deeper Still – which focuses around one special song. [Coloured lyrics shown for a particular reason]:

Track 3 – HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD
The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the Earth rejoice
All the Earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end
The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Name above all names (how great is our God, sing with me)
Worthy of our praise (how great is our God, and all will see)
My heart will sing
How great is our God
You’re the name above all names (how great is our God, sing with me)
You are worthy of our praise (how great is our God, and all will see)
And my heart will sing
How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Alberto Rivera plays melodic rhythm and directs his wife Kimberly and Laura Rhinehart in singing to Jesus before the hymn and on into Holy Spirit worship, including tongues.

What’s more, it may have been of help in driving after I took a wrong, early turn off M27 west of Portsmouth. I’d only been once before to this church outside Fareham and don’t use satnav because I don’t like to be distracted from the road ahead.

Having been at ease with maps and navigation since a boy, I first check Google Maps before a journey. So, in not recognising the short dual-carriageway off the M27 I thus followed signs to Southampton and enjoyed exploring a new route. About quarter of an hour later I pass a side-road’s name I recognised – Prelate Way – and did U-turn to take it to its end junction and turn to the nearby church.


PROPHECY FORUM – “WAKE UP!”

Ten minutes after my arrival Mark Iles opened the meeting and, without a worship leader, he read a psalm over us – and repeated it – by way of worship.

I was awestruck, for it echoed and thus continued what I’d heard during my journey!

WORSHIP – PSALM 104

“Praise the LORD, my soul. LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty.
The LORD wraps Himself in light as with a garment, He stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of His upper chambers on their waters.
He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.
He makes angels his messengers, flames of fire his servants….”

Mark’s message entitled Understanding the Signs of the Times emphasised this is a ‘Wake Up’ call, as in my bullet point notes:

  • Signs not always End-times related; eg Jesus’ sign of Jonah
  • 1 Chron 12:32, Sons of Issachar – “WAKE UP!”
  • Prophecy is about TODAY –
  • Church is compromised and, like politicians, lost its way.
  • Our action NOT reaction is necessary.
  • 3 Ss > STAND-UP…..STEP-UP…..SPEAK-UP!!!
  • ASSIGNMENT
  • ALIGNMENT
  • Matt 6 ..Seek first the Kingdom of God and all else will be added
  • AUTHORITY in Christ using our spiritual giftings to the full
  • 3 Cs > Calling…..Challenge…..Conflict!

Mark’s inspired talk was followed by prophetic ministry from the front by the team, and then practised by delegates in small groups to hear about our own personal SEASON.

I was excited and pleased to have been so blessed, BUT little did I suspect yet more was to follow as though by way of Deuteronomy 19:15 confirmation and establishment of the truth of a matter.

The Lord’s declaration on Islam and fall of Iranian regime (29)

Continuing from previous circle (28), wheels keep turning onto another personal circle relating to Iran:

Within Ask For The Nations – Psalm 2:8 my pre-blog email of 16 April 2011 circulated to friends, I recount the following astonishing dream vision of 7th January 1992 – NOTE repetition of “dominoes are falling” 34 years later!

‘The BBC late evening news on 6th January 1992 announced that leaders in the Muslim community wanted to establish a Muslim parliament in Britain…:

In a dream that night I saw Western Europe, mainly France and the Mediterranean, as if from the space shuttle and heard the popular worship chorus ‘All Hail The Lamb’ being sung, as if in the atmosphere!

Protests in Iran and regime’s reaction are another full circle! (28)

The wheels-within-wheels keep on turning at high speed…..and here we are at 28th posting on this blog’s and my previous significant items and personal events

Yesterday morning’s Bible breakfast WApp discussion happened to be opened with this contribution: “One I believe, lives a day at a time. Words of an old hymn come to mind:-

” Walking with Jesus day by day,
Taking Him for our Guide;
Holding His hand we can never stray
Far from His wounded side”.

After chats about news of America snatching the Venezuelan ex-president and my relating it to Hebrews 12’s verses on shaking, as in recent posts, I thought his timing so apposite in view of other news and thus respond as follows:

“Not heard of that one Ian, but the Lord’s definitely in the timing. He must have done that about 40 years ago with me, as clearly hinted when I was given this book on history and geopolitics of the Middle-East as a trustee of a New Age lodge.

I flicked through it whilst a documentary on Iran-Iraq war was on TV but I noticed chapters on OT prophecies and Jesus and glanced at photos of the mosque in Jerusalem and timelines of Jewish and Muslim history with reference to Daniel’s prophecies.

Suddenly TV showed Iranian elite units rehearsing an attack upon Jerusalem. [As told in Bio Info, the commentator claimed a temporary truce was called and Iraqi elite units joined the rehearsal.] Sheer coincidence?? That double-strike of book and tv can only have been God’s doing and got my attention!

After moving from Sutton to Pangbourne I saw Billy Graham in ’89 and the next year attended church, where I got another ‘double-strike’ with bulls-eye Bible answers upon asking God about New Age and church leaders.

The hymn implies we can be chatting with him too by means of Holy Spirit, and I’ve had ‘drops’ on Heb 12:27 and Matt 13 wheat & tares parable and learned of the importance of Deut 19:15 on two/three witness testimonies establishing a matter.”

In Bio Info, I continue
‘Definitely a book to be taken seriously; it grabbed and got my full attention! Also, it introduced me to Jewish and Muslim history as a background to Church history, and devoid of any of their theology and jargon.

Consequently, I became more alert to Middle-Eastern and globally related events, which suggest things may not be as they seem at first glance – or as reported in the media, and definitely not the BBC! I was amazed to learn that many modern events are of Biblical significance. Bemused, therefore, I began to watch as events unfolded – occasionally and slowly at first, but rapidly and accelerating after we entered the new Millennium, or ‘3rd Day’ since Christ.

Dunstan estimated all the prophecies would come to a climax in 1992 with Russia being the lead villain against Israel. However, he didn’t foresee the collapse of communism in 1989! Yet that year proved pertinent because the ‘Middle East Peace Process’ had just got under way in October 1991 and led to the Oslo Accords of 1993. Furthermore, Victor accurately foresaw the resurgence of Islam as a militant force:

‘We are about to witness a mighty and almost unbelievable upsurge in Islam. Though we see the first signs of an Islamic-revival (it) has a long way to to go but it’s going to go that ‘long way’ very quickly.’ [‘The Invisible Hand’, page 198.]

Consequently, his seminal book has received a number of mentions during the course of my blogging and which may be found under the Invisbl_Hand tag.’

After two post-Millennium decades of ongoing missile and interim terrorist attacks and then the barbaric massacre on October 7th 2023, Israel went on the defensive against Hamas and surrounding Iranian proxies in Lebanon and Yemen. Then in June 2025 Israel launched Operation Rising Lion as a direct airborne attack upon Iran

Thus 40 years after my seeing the Iranian rehearsal of their ‘liberation’ of Jerusalem and subsequent repetitions, the tables have turned under the Almighty’s hand of Covenantal protection.

Jigsaw Pieces PS: a personal full circle (27), insights on a ‘kairos moment’

Posted on by

EXTRA INSIGHTS

Previous post’s introduction to the 7th of latest round of jigsaw pieces in the Lord’s Invisible Jigsaw puts them in a spiritual framework I hadn’t previously perceived, which had been erected by the ‘Free’ church linked to the Baptist Union He put me in 36 years ago to get a good grounding in scripture – and later I got plugged into a prophetic socket through an inter-church prayer group, likewise training in healing and deliverance with Ellel Ministries.

As with completing a jigsaw, the New Year’s pause and mulling over matters helped me check December’s 7 pieces were fitting together and pleased to see a few connections with the bigger picture comprising 8 jigsaw pieces plus additional insights, as follows:

1. “HEBREWS 12.26” was a Holy Spirit ‘drop’ I heard inwardly 25 or more years ago. So I then read the contextual verses 25-29 and they’ve stayed with me to watch out for eventual fulfilment.

2. Moreover, pre- and post-New Year Saturday Mens’ Bible Breakfast had arrived at those very verses in our months-long working through the Book to the Hebrews; thus reinforcing my suspicion of their significance as a ‘kairos’ (now) prophetic scripture.

3. Mary K Dullforce’s comment as the 5th piece includes a prophecy she received in 2011 that was confirmed in a word Veronika West brought 5 years later. It took a while to dawn on me that both years are of personal relevance!

> 2011 fits into the 3rd piece in not only what Bill Johnson said recently, as shown in the screenshot, but also it was the year he was in London and I had a connected dream of the Kingdom being set up, all as recounted in Father, Let Your Kingdom Come!

> 2016 is when I was musing with the Lord over His exposing political rot and corruption in politics here and across the ‘pond’, on which this is 727th posting!

4. During worship yesterday I recalled the ‘sword vision’ of 12/12 , opened my Bible to read it and recalled two references to a sword coming out of Jesus’ mouth as seen by apostle John.

> THEN I got a double whammy in having said in the 1st piece the vision may have a bearing on Revelation 19:15, for the very same numerics relate to the principle of two or three witnesses’ testimonies establishing a matter > Deuteronomy 19:15.

> AND that sword verse not only repeats John’s first vision of it coming from Jesus mouth in Revelation 1:16 ‘He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword…’ – but it also endorses and echoes the foundational statement of testimony by there being TWO references within Revelation to that holy feature.

5. Yesterday, 3Counties Vineyard’s leader spoke about our Vision for 2026 – its 60th birthday – and mentioned having made a numerics printing error in citing Isaiah 61.1 (The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me…to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners...) instead of 60.1 (Arise, shine; For your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you! – NB verse 2: See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples.’ )
BUT it is a Holy Spirit ‘slip’ for both verses apply and the references at the start of those two chapters to ‘darkness’ connects into my open vision of 12/12 of darkness being cut by a sweeping bright yellow, or golden, double-bladed sword!

6. Upon revisiting the post about a Near Death Experience (NDE) I realise it must be a part of this bigger picture, but my focus had been on America as well as gathering the previous week into an orderly account to make some sense of what the Lord’s doing.

‘KAIROS MOMENT’
A kairos moment is defined as a divinely appointed or opportune time, distinct from the sequential, measurable passage of time known as chronos. It signifies a decisive, qualitative moment when circumstances align with a higher purpose, often marking a turning point for transformation, fulfillment, or action. In biblical contexts, kairos refers to the appointed time in God’s plan—such as when Jesus declared “the time is fulfilled” in Mark 1:15, indicating the arrival of the kingdom of God.
This concept extends beyond religious usage, appearing in classical rhetoric where it denotes the ideal moment for effective action, likened to the precise instant an archer can shoot an arrow or a weaver can pass a shuttle through fabric. The term is also applied in modern contexts to describe pivotal personal, spiritual, or societal moments—such as a sudden realization, a life-changing opportunity, or a collective shift in history—where decisive action can lead to lasting change. (AI Leo)

For readers who may not have read previous sequence:

RECAP

Pre-Christmas busyness diverted writing about a personal vision but the delay fitted into the Lord’s timescale of confirmation in a word my prolific prophet friend would publish. In the meantime a video….I’m always wary of prophecies about dates, but that post has specific points on which I’m about to write and which occurred, like picking individual pieces of a jigsaw out of its box, viz:

Carols – Isaiah – PRAY – SWORD – Putting Christ Back vs Islam – Crusades – Bondi Beach murders – unusual dream – Bill Johnson quote – my dream – query re BJ > 2011 KINGDOM – Goliath no sword – P4N prayer note – Kingdom word 17/12 > sword and shaking – TFC! (20/12)’

Here’s how the pre-Christmas items fit together like jigsaw pieces:

December:
  1. 12th – Vision of sword on asking about Jesus’ Kingdom per Isaiah 9 and 11
  2. 13th – Putting Christ back into Christmas, standing against Islam – a Crusade! (Next day saw Muslims murder Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach)
  3. 14th – Dream of blogging, Bill Johnson, my 2011 dream setting up the Kingdom
  4. 16th – God-incidental ‘an army without a sword’ query re email from Wales,
  5. 16th – God-incidental comments regarding revival in Wales.
  6. 18th – Prayer For Nations and rhema word on tares and a shaking.
  7. 17th – ‘Now’ word for 2026 > “KING’s DOMain”, sharp sword, greater shakings and “My Kingdom is unshakeable and My Throne Immovable”.
  8. 22nd – Video account of NDE confirms focus on Isaiah 9 and 11 and Hebrews 12:25-29 profound shaking.

Another piece of The Invisible Jigsaw is put into place

Posted on by

BACKGROUND

During the events covered in this series on ‘The Lord’s sword – His Kingdom – Crusade – Shaking’ my initial focus upon Jesus’ prophesied rulership as King in Isaiah 9 and 11 made me recall, as in Cont’d (3), a spiritually significant personal event when in Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist) before moving to marry Nina in 2002.

One Sunday together with a GP and his wife, I silently went forward during pastor Barry Kirk’s teaching to bring verses the Lord had given. We didn’t know the details BUT were amazed to hear ourselves giving single verses of Isaiah 6 in sequence: 6, 7 and 8!

Also, my recent ‘God-incidental jigsaw pieces’ bring a double focus upon TFC. I didn’t return there until attending a meeting for the Prophecy Conference of February 2020 in Reading, and the eve-of-conference dinner. That’s when I met Veronika West and was amazed upon her telling me she’d been on the new pastor’s prophecy team! So, TFC is our common spiritual home.

Therefore, it’s most appropriate that what Veronika published on Dec 17th towards the close of my pre-Christmas events is another piece in this invisible jigsaw puzzle; maybe the pieces were queuing up – or ‘on cue’ – as Q is 17th letter of the alphabet.

Moreover, what the Lord gave Veronika applies to my open vision and its meaning…

Pieces Thus Far (December dates):
  1. 12th – Vision of sword on asking about Jesus’ Kingdom per Isaiah 9 and 11
  2. 13th – Putting Christ back into Christmas, standing against Islam – a Crusade! (Next day saw Muslims murder Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach)
  3. 14th – Dream of blogging, Bill Johnson, my 2011 dream setting up the Kingdom
  4. 16th – God-incidental ‘an army without a sword’ query re email from Wales,
  5. 16th – God-incidental comments regarding revival in Wales.
  6. 18th – Prayer For Nations and rhema word on tares and a shaking.

7th JIGSAW PIECE (17th Dec)

Therefore, I’ve emphasised appropriate phrases of His Kingdom Prophecy version:

I heard The Spirit of The LORD say ”Watch! 2026 will be a Year where the KING and His DOMAIN will be Established in Greater Power in the Earth Realm!
Watch! For in 2026, My Rule as King will be undeniable and every competing domain will be measured and weighed in the Balance and found wanting.
I say, Look — and Pay Close Attention for the Writing is on the Wall, ”Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin!”
For the Days have been Numbered, Weighed and Divided!
But I say, Watch!
2026 a Year of New levels of Experiential Knowledge, for like Job, many will say, ”I knew Him by the Hearing of my ear — but now my eyes have seen Him!”

Even as I hear the Spirit speak these Words to me, The Holy Spirit quickens to me, Isaiah 6 for 2026.

Isaiah 6 says,

“In the Year that King Uzziah died I saw also The LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple…
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly…
And one cried unto another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is The LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory….”
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke….
Then said I, “Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts….”
Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar…
And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, “Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged”.
Also I heard the voice of The LORD, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then said I, “Here am I; send me!”
And he said, “Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.”
Then said I, “Lord, how long?” And he answered, “Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
And The LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof”..! Isaiah 6:1-13.

And I hear The Spirit say, ”The Year 2026 will mark a radical shift — a Divine Turning and Unlocking in the Spirit realm!
A year when the Burning Coal of Isaiah Six (6) shall touch defiled Lips.
A Kairos Time of Greater Purging and Purification, Shaking and Awakening of Nations!
I say again! Watch! For I will display and establish My Kingly Domain through greater demonstrations and supernatural manifestations in the Earth realm!” says The LORD.
”And not just in hearts of men, but in Religious and Political Systems and Structures!
And where My Name has been used without a demonstration of My Kingly Nature, I will confront, uproot and tear down.
And Where My Power has been imitated by Illegitimate and defiled vessels without My Authority and Anointing, I will expose it and cut it off at the Roots.
And Where My Kingdom has been preached without true submission and surrender to The King, I will dismantle and destroy it from within.
Watch! For this will be a Year of the Threshing Floor!
Look! For there will be Signs in the Mighty Winds that shall Blow. Signs of a greater Sifting and Separation that has already begun.
I say, see, for what the Winds of My Seven Spirit have blown over in the Nation of Brazil — a replica of the Statue of Liberty — a Prophetic Sign that shall speak to the Times of Greater Political and Economic Upheaval and Divine Exposure.
Watch! What shall begin to take place in the days ahead as the Winds of My Seven Spirits begin to blow upon the “BRICS” in 2026.
Watch and Pray, as brick by brick, the Walls they have built shall surely fall, for again I yell you, Nations are now being Sifted, Separated and Shifted on the Threshing Floor!
Watch! As a Greater Shaking takes place, that will expose the rot in the roots and the deep and hidden faults in the Foundations of Nations.
For the Winds of My Seven Spirits shall blow and the Rains of My Spirit shall come as Cleansing Rivers and that which has been built on sand shall surely fall!
But that which has been built on the Rock shall stand as the violent shaking by My Righteous Right Hand brings forth Judgment and Retribution to the Enemies of My Chosen People and their Holy Land.
The Year 2026. Watch! The Rise of a New Breed of Apostolic and Prophetic Kings with Purified Lips, for in this Kairos Time, I AM raising up those who fear Me more than they desire worldwide influence.
I AM entrusting My Kingly Power and Authority to those who have learnt to be Trust Me in the silence as I have moved to bring Nations into Divine Order and Alignment.
For My Kingdom does not advance through Selfish Ambition or where there is a desire for man’s Approval and Recognition.
But My Kingdom is built and established through yielded vessels who have Ascended the High Places with clean hands and a pure heart!
See! For In 2026, I will Restore the Spirit of The Fear of The LORD to My People through greater Signs and Wonders — a Holy Reverence that shall produce the fruit of Radical obedience and deeper levels of Consecration and Intimacy with Me.
Watch! As the shakings Re-establish the Foundations of Covenant Nations — and as Broken-down Altars are rebuilt and restored, as Sacred Vows once abandoned are called back into Remembrance and take Deep Root.
For in 2026, I shall demonstrate that I AM a Covenant-keeping King Who shall not be mocked!” says The LORD,
“And I will require Greater Accountability for words spoken in My Name, for I AM releasing the Spirit Discernment like a sharp Sword, that shall pierce and penetrate the veil of deception and delusion.
Many will suddenly see what was once justified and even defended. They will now grieve what was once condoned and celebrated!
Watch! For I tell you, Divine Exposures will be Mercy, made manifest in the midst of them, for I have always desired True Repentance and a turning back before divine removals and retribution comes!” says The LORD.
“Yet I say, Watch and Obey! For I will not contend and strive forever with the Rebellious and stiff-necked!
For truly I tell you,” says The LORD, “My Kingdom is advancing and shall not be stopped!
My Kingdom is unshakeable ** and My Throne Immovable, and My Word will not return to Me void.
So I say again, Watch! Be still! Stand, and be clean — be Ready!
For the King and His Kingdom is not coming quietly in 2026!
His Kingdom Rule shall be openly displayed and His Kingdom Rulers shall arise and reign!”

Blessings to you all.

Jigsaw pieces cont’d (3): the Lord’s sword – His Kingdom – Crusade – Shaking

Bringing prophetic pieces together

As before: ‘…covered very specific points on which I was about to write and they’d occurred rather like my picking individual pieces of a jigsaw out of its box, viz:

Carols – Isaiah – PRAY – SWORD – Putting Christ Back vs Islam – Crusades – Bondi Beach murders – unusual dream – Bill Johnson quote – my dream – query re BJ > 2011 KINGDOM – Goliath no sword – P4N prayer note – Kingdom word 17/12 > sword and shaking – TFC! (20/12)’

Now let’s see how they may fit together’ – as in the last post, others joined in to pick out some jigsaw pieces:

Pieces Thus Far (December dates):
  1. 12th – Vision of sword on asking about Jesus’ Kingdom per Isaiah 9 and 11
  2. 13th – Putting Christ back into Christmas, standing against Islam – a Crusade! (Next day saw Muslims murder Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach)
  3. 14th – Dream of blogging, Bill Johnson, my 2011 dream setting up the Kingdom
  4. 16th – God-incidental ‘an army without a sword’ query re email from Wales,
  5. 16th – God-incidental comments regarding revival in Wales.

6th JIGSAW PIECE

Wednesday 18th December Ben Kay issued his regular 12amCry zoom prayer alert, especially regarding Bondi Beach maniacal massacre and anti-Semitism within the Church. along with a sobering rhema word received on the first night of Chanukah (Sunday 14th December) and entrusted to ‘KM’ in USA.

It’s an extensive word elaborating in depth about the darkness I’d seen a couple of days earlier on Friday 12th, which I knew connects into Hebrews 12:25-19 ‘Great Shaking’ – verses the Lord had unforgettably dropped in my mind and spirit 25 or more years ago in a Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist) house group, viz:

Hear the Heavenly Voice

25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I [a]shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we [b]may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Hence, my 400+ postings on The Shaking and now the American prophet confirms two major ‘drops’ the Lord gave me: NOT ONLY her opening on wheat and tares…

“The clock is ticking. The alarm is about to sound off. Time is about to expire … time for My children to wake up so that they might avoid destruction and loss due to their apathy, apostasy, and rebellion against My way, will, and word. The impregnated harvest field of multiplying tares is in full form. What will you reap?…”

[The Endgame is Now in Play refers to the Lord’s ‘drop’ in 2008 upon that parable, and in 2016 the ripening of tares as Exposures of political rot.]

..BUT ALSO this on The Shaking (underlining is mine):

“What do you see in this present hour? What is occupying your field of vision? What is flowing into your ears? Have you not seen the innocent blood being shed continually, the irrational hatred, the violence and the upheaval in nature, as well as the chaos manifesting in all of society? Have you not heard the foundations cracking under your feet, nor felt the heat of the fires from hell’s lava moving upward toward you from underground? Have you not smelled the putrid stench of corruption in governments, nor heard the outcries of other humans being sold, trafficked and killed to enrich the wicked? ALL THAT CAN BE SHAKEN IS BEING SHAKEN, and yet, as you slumber on, there must be more shaking yet to come. WAKE UP!”

Jigsaw pieces cont’d (2): the Lord’s sword – His Kingdom – Crusade – Shaking

Reminder from original post: ‘Please note, I’m always wary of prophecies about dates, but that previous post covers very specific points on which I was about to write and they’d occurred, just like my picking individual pieces of a jigsaw out of a box, viz:

Carols – Isaiah – PRAY – SWORD – Putting Christ Back vs Islam – Crusades – Bondi Beach murders – unusual dream – Bill Johnson quote – my dream – query re BJ > 2011 KINGDOM – Goliath no sword – P4N prayer note – Kingdom word 17/12 > sword and shaking – TFC! (20/12)

Pieces Thus Far:
  1. Vision of sweeping sword on asking about Jesus’ Kingdom per Isaiah 9 and 11
  2. Putting Christ back into Christmas and taking stand against Islam – a Crusade! (Next day saw Muslims murder Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach)
  3. Dream of blogging, Bill Johnson, my 2011 dream setting up the Kingdom.

NEXT, I find the Lord is using prophetical teamwork in order to establish a matter (Deut 19:15) and as Paul writes to the early Corinthian church “For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged” (1Cor 14:31).

4th JIGSAW PIECE

The first three pieces appeared over Fri-Sun 12-14th December, then on Tuesday 16th one of our house group emailed me as follows,

“Hi Richard, Thought you might be interested in this.
I’m not too sure what this means: “Goliath is about to appear and we are an army without a sword facing the biggest battle of our lives.”

As you and I know, I was most certainly interested and knew about the sword – and more was yet to come! So at our evening group told him about what I’d seen during Friday’s worship with carols evening.

My brother quoted a remark in a message he attached entitled, ‘A Christmas update from the Don’t Walk In The Dark Project’ (based in Wales at The Big Rock cafe on Porthmadog high street). That email begins “..Yet as my mind is drawn to Don’t Walk In The Dark we have woken up to a Hanukkah massacre on Bondi Beach, Australia. With 15 killed and numbers rising it is a tragic proof that we live in increasing darkness.”

Most pertinently, my house group brother’s single sentence falls within this paragraph (emphases mine):

“The Don’t walk in the Dark project is a call to the church to wake up and strengthen the things that remain. The darkness has come upon us and without the word of God we are without a light and hopeless walk in the dark blindly leading the blind. Goliath is about to appear and we are an army without a sword facing the biggest battle of our lives. Since 2022 we taken the challenge ourselves and have begun to produce resources to challenge the church to pick up their Bibles, read their Bibles and dare to live separately according to its truths.'”

So, do you see how this God-incidental ‘out-of-the-blue’ email query connects directly like a jigsaw piece into the previous three I’d already seen? WE NOW HAVE A SWORD!

Goliath was the gigantic warrior of the Philistine army that shepherd boy David slew, as told in 1 Samuel 17, thus we perceive its demonic spirit has again arisen within Muslims against the Jewish people and their Covenantal Land, as well as Christians in a ‘global intifada’ inspired and empowered by satan itself!

YET MORE was yet to come…two days as well as a fortnight later…!!

5th JIGSAW PIECE

Next, but unknown to me two days later on Thursday 18th, Mary K Dullforce blogged about Revival returning to Wales and yesterday – a fortnight after 4th piece of the Lord’s invisible jigsaw coming out of the box – she comments upon Prophecies on Jesus’ Holy Titles and Fulfilment as follows:

“The LORD prompted me to re-post and send forth in a Blaze Campaign this prophetic message about Revivals again breaking forth in nations during the Christmas and New Year Season in this year and the years to come. This Word of Knowledge and Revelation dovetails to confirm the Three Rivers Prophecy I received in 2011 and later was received and re-confirmed to Veronika West in 2025.

So I am sharing the same Blogpost with you here. It received over 6,900 clicks in over 16 countries during the 4 day campaign on WordPress.”

Christmas times Of Revival Coming Again!

Therein Mary writes,

“…I later heard The LORD Decree after I picked up this artwork after the event the following declaration and decree:

“I have called Wales to become once more the Fulcrum of My Initiative for Revival to spread throughout the nations.”

The division will be self evident between those who reject Him and draw away from Him. I received two scripture references when I painted this prophetic artwork at the English – Welsh Border Prayer Walk Event in 2011. First, as I painted, I heard this reference to Isaiah 64:1-2 and second Luke 12:49-53.”

May you, your dear ones be most blessed celebrating Jesus’ birth

Christmas card

Then the angel said to the shepherds keeping watch over their flocks at night,

“Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the City of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord…” (Luke 2:8-14)

My dear friends, may our Lord and Saviour bless you and those dear to you with a revelatory and ‘Mega-merry’ Christmas, as implied by the OT Hebrew word ashar (Strong’s #833, as in Proverbs 31:28 on the virtuous wife):

‘happy, blessed, prosperous, successful, from original root ‘be straight, upright’.’

Better still is New Testament Greek’s makarios (Strong’s #3107), which means:

‘from root mak, indicating large, or of long duration…happy, supremely blessed, a condition in which congratulations are in order. It is a grace word that expresses the special joys and satisfaction granted the person who experiences salvation.’

This ‘Blessed’ is used in The Beatitudes, or the Sermon on the Mount, as recorded in Matthew 5. (Details New Spirit-Filled Life Bible, Executive editor. Dr Jack Hayford.)

May Christmas Eve, night and day be an especially blessed occasion of spiritual silence and insight for everyone.

Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht is an old favourite, always sending shivers down my spine!

The above Graz choir’s version is ‘dedicated to all those who are not able to spend Christmas with their loved ones‘.

It was first sung in 1818 in Oberndorf bie Salzburg chapel. My father must have heard it during his residence in Stalag IIIA, near Dresden. Austria looked very attractive, even as seen en-route as a captive transported from the Battle for Crete (1941). So starting mid-1950s we took holidays in the Tyrol west of Salzburg, often motoring around there.

This version by ‘Celtic Woman’ is also sublime…

Anyone tracking my personal Facebook timeline or this blog’s ‘Noticeboard’ and Prophecy Validations on Telegram will be aware of blog-related ‘quickies’ thereon, whereas this blog covers long-term ongoing topics that crop up, as with the five posts Russiagate and 2020 election exposures

However, they – along with pre-Christmas busyness – diverted me from writing about a personal vision I’d had; but the delay fitted into the Lord’s timescale of confirmation in a word my prophet friend would publish. BUT then, yet another dropped onto me that had to take immediate priority as it claimed to have a time-stamp of manifestation – AND now today too.

Please note, I’m always wary of prophecies about dates, but that previous post covers very specific points on which I was about to write and they’d occurred rather like my picking individual pieces of a jigsaw out of its box, viz:

Carols – Isaiah – PRAY – SWORD – Putting Christ Back vs Islam – Crusades – Bondi Beach murders – unusual dream – Bill Johnson quote – my dream – query re BJ > 2011 KINGDOM – Goliath no sword – P4N prayer note – Kingdom word 17/12 > sword and shaking – TFC! (20/12)

Now let’s see how they may fit together:

1st JIGSAW PIECE

Since Summer we’ve been blessed to attend monthly Holy Spirit-filled worship evenings at Waverley Abbey College. Friday 12th December was held indoors with local superb choristers of schoolchildren augmented by senior male voices. A most heavenly ascent of Christmas carols included the usual scripture readings of Isaiah’s prophecies and I reflected in particular upon verses of the coming One’s Kingdom rulership (emphases mine; Isaiah 9 proceeds to tell how that will happen in those times):

Isaiah 9:6-7 – The Government of the Promised Son

‘For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.’

Isaiah 11 – The Reign of Jesse’s Offspring

‘There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

3 His delight is in the fear of the Lord,
And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,
Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;
4 But with righteousness He shall judge the poor,
And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
5 Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins,
And faithfulness the belt of His waist.’ (NKJV)

Yet another confirmation comes in this morning’s devotional by Revd David Strutt in Sanctuary wherein he cites Isaiah 11:10 (NASB > interesting comparison with NKJV):

‘Then in that day the nations will resort to the root of Jesse, Who will stand as a signal for the peoples; And His resting place will be glorious.’

‘And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious.

The carols were followed by a brief teaching on P.R.A.Y. = PRAISE + REPENT + ASK + YIELD.

I asked them LORD about the rapidly increasing non-stop worldwide wickedness and when is He going to remove it, as promised in the parable of wheat and tares?

Next and although my eyes were open and clearly seeing the choir, about ten feet in front of me, my mind’s eye perceived darkness instead; BUT then a bright yellow-golden sword lies across my ‘sight’.

The blade is wide with triangular point, in ancient Roman style, and it is pointing straight in front of and away from me, although the hilt is unseen it must be below my chin.

Next, I see this sword’s flat blade sweep steadily from side to side, back and forth, to cut away whatever structures and controlling beings are in the darkness!! WOWEE!

I am reminded of Revelation 19 describing the End-times battle of Jesus as the mighty returning King (verse 15)

‘Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.’

There’s also Hebrews 4:12:

‘For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart.’

2nd JIGSAW PIECE

Next day saw the Putting Christ Back Into Christmas worship rally in central London, to take a stand against the anti-Christ spirit that’s arisen in and dominating Britain.

However, that demon’s stooges murdered and wounded dozens of people the next day on Bondi Beach, Australia, who were celebrating the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.

It struck me, therefore, that ongoing widespread attacks against Christians in Europe and in Nigeria by Muslims is a satanic strategy to retrogress civilisation 1,400 years to the Dark Ages when Muslims attacked and invaded nations outside Arabia in their jihad and intifada and captured Jerusalem 1,390 years ago – Replacement Theology misses significance of Jesus’ warning of The Abomination of Desolation refers. It took a few hundred years for the Church to call for a Crusade of Europe’s Christians to wage a war of defence against Islam and its armies.

THEREFORE, IT IS NOW TIME FOR CHRISTIANS TO RISE AGAINST THE ANTICHRIST SPIRIT BY RAISING THE LEVEL TO A SPIRITUAL CRUSADE AGAINST SATAN.

Urgent near-death revelation for TODAY

Posted on by
2

December is always busy in prepping for Christmas and I’m drafting a post about some personal ‘jigsaw pieces’ for – to mix metaphors – we know there’s often a hidden thread in our lives but…STOP PRESS!

This video popped up yesterday as though to support my stance in a contentious thread about Israel, Jews and Christianity.

Description: A devout Jewish scholar dies on a storm-soaked highway and is thrust into a profound near-death experience (NDE) that dismantles the certainty he carried for decades. In this NDE—where awareness continues even as the body breaks—he is confronted by Jesus and given a message that carries urgent weight before December 22. What he witnesses overturns a lifetime of Jewish tradition as he understood it, revealing truth he never allowed himself to consider. His return becomes a warning shaped by impact, silence, and revelation, urging every viewer to pay attention before time runs out. Watch until the end.’

Not only the whole account is startling but also from my perspective its confirmation of my long-standing blogging theme of the Hebrews 12:25-29 profound Shaking plus my recent focus on Isaiah 9 and 11 (to be recounted in next post), are both featured in the Lord’s narrative to the ‘deceased’ rabbi at these timepoints:

11.07 – “…they are spiritually anorexic, they have replace d the Bread of Life with distractions of the enemy and because they are weak when the Shaking comes – and it IS coming – they will not have the strength to endure..”

21:24 – “..but My own are anchored to a Kingdom that cannot be shaken..” 23:31 – “..as the Shaking intensifies..”  (the huge grand trees fell because their roots are shallow but the small insignificant shrubs don’t fall when the earthquake strikes because these small plants had roots that went down for miles they have long strong roots going deep into the soil and anchored deep into the bedrock)…

24:28 – “The Root of Jesse“, Jesus said, “The storm that is coming will not respect fame.. they will stand because they are rooted in Me” 

Isaiah 11 – The Reign of Jesse’s Offspring

There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. (NKJV)

UK & US politicians validate blog on free-speech, BBC, exposures (Richard’s Watch goes full circle – 24, 25, 26)

Accelerating prophetical wheels just keep on rolling. So it’s encouraging to know my first writing in 2009 on loss of free speech predicted by Dame Stella Rimington, retired MI5 Director, and 2016 prophecy on exposures of political rot in UK & US are confirmed by politicians on both sides of the ‘pond’, as below:

UK – POLICING

https://www.facebook.com/SuellaBravermanOfficial

Then 3 days later this from the Daily Mail of 7th December captured on my Facebook:


UK – BBC LIES


US – ELECTIONS EXPOSURE

Evangelist Kaden Pody’s entry of 1 December on Facebook reads:

‘I’m not a Republican and I’m not a Democrat — because there’s wickedness on both sides. But the Bible says everything done in darkness will be exposed.

And right now, that exposure is happening.

Stephen Miller just said something heavy:
“The Democrat Party, via the Biden-Harris administration, devised a scheme to import illegal aliens by the millions — granting them parole, work permits, Social Security numbers, access to voting booths, and hooking them on government dependency — all for the purpose of influencing U.S. elections and ultimately overthrowing the Constitutional Republic.”

Whether you agree with him or not, here’s the spiritual reality:

When nations reject God, corruption multiplies. When leaders pursue power more than righteousness, systems start decaying. When governments manipulate people for control, it’s no longer politics — it’s spiritual warfare.

The enemy always uses chaos, deception, and lawlessness to position his agenda.
But the Bible says: “For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.” — Luke 8:17 (NKJV)

This isn’t about parties. This isn’t about left or right. This is about a nation being shaken — and God exposing every hidden plan.

We are watching prophecy unfold.’

Selah!

Don’t you too love the Lord’s timing? Especially as though confirming the validity of a matter, thus as though two witnesses are establishing it per Deuteronomy 19:15.

So, after being nudged to blog about a God-incidental linkage between a powerful prophetic foreshadowing (Veronika West) and a paperback edition of the above book, I scheduled the post for automatic publication Thursday evening after political posts.

A ‘God-incidental’ republishing and a prophetic foreshadowing of the Tabernacle and Revival

So I didn’t get to share it over to the blog’s ‘noticeboard’ on Telegram but, as usual, I first read BibleGateway’s Verse for the Day 1Chron 16:8  and then the full chapter. I was amazed at its opening of the Tabernacle, of David’s Tent of Meeting:

MY, SOME ‘GOD-INCIDENCE’ !!  The first post was a ‘God-incidence, so the next day’s very first item for my attention makes it a double God-incidence!

Therefore, the Lord must be encouraging us to consider buying Peter’s book! (Available at Amazon)

Prophetic word 2020 confirming exposures of darkness

In this morning’s revamping of the main menu’s Prophecies Fulfilled / Exposures of Corruption with linked listing of about 20 follow-ups (now over 700!) to my prophetical musing on mid-2016, I noted this closing phrase: ‘including this on a confirmatory prophetic word given in 2020′ and now read it refers to exposures over the previous three years!

So I checked it out and here for my readers to weigh, and I note its timing is appropriate for what’s pouring out in the news:

“My beloved child, I have planned and ordained for you to receive my message here, for I am giving you wisdom and understanding of what is taking place across the earth.

Many, many, many people, both my followers and those who I have awakened to some truth since early 2020, many people have said the world is getting darker.

My beloved child, FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS A GROSS DARKNESS HAD COVERED THE EARTH, and before the year 2020, the darkness had been getting darker and darker, but most of the world darkness was hidden. It was not in plain sight.

The DEPRAVITY OF MAN, the SINFULNESS OF MAN, was HIDDEN behind people’s smiles, behind people’s lifestyle, behind people’s jobs, behind people’s careers, behind people’s families, behind closed doors.

The CORRUPTION WITHIN THE WORLD SYSTEMS was hidden from most people across the earth.

The MOST DESPICABLE, EVIL THINGS THAT MAN DOES was mainly hidden from the view of most people across the earth.

Yes, my beloved child, there has been such a gross darkness covering the earth, as I HAVE ALLOWED THE SIN OF MAN TO POLLUTE ALL AREAS OF SOCIETY.

But then, from the start of the year 2020, I the Lord your God, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end, I BEGAN TO SHINE LIGHT IN TO THAT GROSS DARKNESS.

THE LIGHT ALWAYS SHINES IN THE DARKNESS, and the darkness can NEVER put it out.

Have no doubt about it, my beloved child, and tell your brothers and sisters too – THE WORLD IS NOT GETTING DARKER.

The GROSS DARKNESS that had covered the earth for hundreds of years IS BEING EXPOSED.

The SIN OF MAN has been getting EXPOSED for three years.

I have been REVEALING the hearts of man.

I have been revealing which people have been bowing down to man – which people are living with A FEAR OF MAN, and not a reverent fear of me, the one who holds them in the palm of my hand, the one who sustains their very existence.

One by one I am coming down from heaven, down into the deep waters, into the miry clay, to rescue my people from all their enemies.

One by one I am lifting the veil.

One by one I am setting the captives free.

One by one the scales are falling from people’s eyes.

EVERYTHING DONE IN DARK IS BEING BROUGHT INTO THE LIGHT, says I the Lord of lords, the King of glory.

MY GLORY IS COMING UPON THE EARTH IN WAYS IN WHICH MY PEOPLE HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

HAVE NO FEAR. I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind.

EACH DAY SPEAK LIKE.

DO NOT ALLOW words of DARKNESS, words of DEATH, words of DEVASTATION, words of DESTRUCTION, words of FEAR to come from your lips.

SPEAK LIFE, MY BELOVED CHILD.

SPEAK MY WORD. DECLARE MY WORD. DECREE MY WORD. STAND ON MY WORD.

As I pour my Spirit into you now, BLAZING COALS OF FIRE ARE GOING TO BE COMING FROM YOUR TONGUE, and your words, your words which are going to be my words, are going to be PENETRATING THE DARKNESS, are going to be DESTROYING DEMONIC ALTERS, DEMONIC STRONGHOLDS.

STRONGMEN ARE GETTING BOUND UP AND DESTROYED.

EVERY SINGLE DEMON IS BEING EXPOSED AND CAST OUT IN MY NAME, says I the King of kings, the Lord of lords.

My beloved child, I have put my spirit into you, and GREATER IS THE SPIRIT THAT IS IN YOU THAN THE SPIRIT THAT IS IN THE WORLD.

I HAVE MADE YOU THE HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL.

I HAVE NOT GIVEN YOU A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER, OF LOVE AND OF A SOUND MIND.

I have given you ALL AUTHORITY to trample upon lions and cobras, to crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet.

You resist the devil and he flees from you.

I am sanctifying you.

I am making you MORE AND MORE AND MORE IN TO MY IMAGE.

YOU ARE by hands and feet.

YOU ARE my glory carrier.

YOU ARE my disciple, says I the Sovereign Lord.

For my Word tells you in Matthew 21:22, YOU CAN PRAY FOR ANYTHING, and if you have faith YOU WILL RECEIVE IT, and as you receive my words to you now, I am releasing into your life FAITH IN ME THAT IS ABSOLUTELY PURE.

YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN HAVE FAITH IN MAN.

YOUR FAITH IS GOING TO BE IN ME the Lord your God and IN ME ALONE.

YOU WILL NOT BOW DOWN TO MAN.

You are not living upon the earth to please man. You are living to please me, for is you are living to please man, you would not be my servant.

YOU are my masterpiece.

I created YOU in my image.

YOU are fearfully and wonderfully made.

It is not you that live, but I THAT LIVE IN YOU.

NOW GO, my beloved child. Share the Good News, cast out demons, heal the sick and proclaim that the Kingdom of Heaven is near, says I the Sovereign Lord.”
