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:

“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’

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.

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

Jigsaw pieces cont’d (4): 2026 – A ‘Now’ Word for Nations in Divine Transition, Veronika West

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!”

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.”

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…

3rd JIGSAW PIECE

Friday-Saturday 12-13th December I had an unusual dream about my blogging and its purpose, then later saw and shared something on Facebook that seemed to connect into my vision during the carol service:

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

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!

The Tent of the Meeting’s double-dose God-incidence!

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

Posted on by

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.”

Triple validation of my life-changing Visitation

Posted on by
Reply

A little time was needed to gain a fuller understanding of 1989’s awesome Visitation – the absolute holiness of the Lord Jesus Christ in contrast to my personal sinful nature. No wonder I expected to die and was convicted of my sin!

That encounter used two very personal aspects of my life to grab my attention, thereby validating the experience as real, not an imaginary one. Even more amazingly, both validations are directly related to the 1st and 2nd Advents!  Thus, they couldn’t fail to enhance my interest in End-Times and which had been launched a few years earlier by The Invisible Hand (described herein).

The First Advent was the time when Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea about two thousand years ago. Hence, the four weeks leading into Christmas are designated within the church calendar as Advent, and which start the church year.

The Second Advent is coming soon and is expected to focus upon Jerusalem, Israel.

FIRST VALIDATION

I inwardly ‘knew’ the heavenly visitor was indeed Jesus, and that the impressive action was a foretaste of his promised return, when He will come in all His power and glory.

The event reminded me of my favourite picture in mother’s Missal, or service book of the Roman Mass.  This gave the content of every Sunday service throughout the year with a diagram symbolising the theme for each service.  As a boy keen on astronomy I’d been fascinated by the picture for First Sunday in Advent. This depicted Jesus standing on the clouds over a burning earth in the midst of sun, moon and falling stars, indicative of events before his Second Advent!

The confirmation referred to above came almost as unusually. On a healing retreat soon after Ellel Ministries opened at Pierrepont near Farnham in 1995, a prayer-minister told me God would show me something after lunch. Indeed, a lady who’d been seated at my table later confided between sessions that the Lord told her to show me something she greatly treasured.

christinclouds-lrgIt was a photo taken, it was claimed, from an aircraft over a thunderstorm. When developed, the photo bore an image of Jesus Christ, as though standing within clouds. However, the facial features were hazy, not defined. It was exactly like Jesus in my dream because I’d not seen His face.  (I recall dark, hazy clouds at the foot of the image. This one is published by Bible Probe  – A MUST READ!)

Upon seeing this photo my legs gave way – I couldn’t stand but fell into a nearby chair! My companion said I went so white she thought I was going to faint or fall.

Yet, just how did a stranger know to show me this photo?  I’d not divulged such a personal dream – she simply said, “It’s the Lord’s doing”.

SECOND VALIDATION

I was puzzled over the closing element of the dream-event, namely: upon my reaching towards Jesus’ feet to grasp His robe, it turned into the branch of a Christmas tree!  So, when I tugged, a Christmas tree toppled over and its fairy fell off and onto the floor.

Weird?  Not really, because that spot by the window was where the family Christmas tree used to be erected. It was a corner closely associated with Christmas.

As a devout Catholic, my mother had told me about Jesus from an early age. When I painted pictures I would put a blue stripe at the top of outdoor scenes to represent heaven, as children did. But I’d also draw a Christmas tree in heaven as being Jesus.

Why? Not only had I associated all the wonder of Christmas with his birthday but I also heard an actor  on TV mention his name whilst looking at a small fir-tree. So in my childish way I took the actor at his word and would draw Jesus as a Christmas tree.  Hence, four decades later the Visitation dream went on to connect real Jesus to that imaginary picture.

At its close, therefore, the dream-event signified the time had come to put away not only childish misconceptions but also all false teachings and replace them with absolute truth – the one who is the Truth in person.

Truly, the most fantastic Christmas present ever – one that’s daily an ever-present encouragement and help in every time of need, no matter how dire. Thank you Lord.

These events started in 1989 and culminated in 1995 with its prime confirmation. YET in another ‘coincidence’ – truly a ‘God-incidence’ – at a Pierrepont meeting that December I was sitting close to the large Christmas tree at the front of the hall and the speaker from Ellel Grange asked us to imagine how shocked and astonished Jesus’ disciples must have been when He walked through walls into their locked room after His Resurrection (John 20:19-20). It spoke straight into my own personal Visitation!

Yet more was to come!  Sixteen years later upon revisiting this story for the purposes of this blog, I was surprised by a couple more insights that dropped unbidden into mind.

One was tantalising: could the street number of my childhood home (212 – or “two twelve” as we’d say) possibly be significant in pointing toward the coming year? That is, to 2012!  (or, ‘two : no-number : twelve’).

Could that notion be true?  Such musing would be confirmed in a fascinating numerical manner at 2012’s first Christian conference we were to attend…Upon our arrival at the venue in Torquay I was curious about distance driven from home. The car’s odometer was ‘212‘ miles!

THIRD VALIDATION

Once again, timing proves crucial in presenting another objective confirmation!  Again, had I not been writing about the visitation I would have missed the crucial linkage!

Whilst writing instalments of My Journey Into Freedom (Sept-Oct 2013) I inserted a report on something pertinent that happened at that time in the USA, as recounted in the previous post. This came as a ‘new revelatory word’ from the Lord to Revd John Kilpatrick and began at 2:22am. This too, is very interesting on two counts. Numerically, because my birthday falls on a 22nd. Orally, because that word is directly relevant to my dream visitation in referring to the angelic host as well as in closing with Luke 21:28, namely:

“But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.”

My mother’s Missal for the First Sunday of Advent is shown below and notice how the scripture on page 69 links into my personal visitation and what pastor John brought.

Personal foretaste of the global shock of Jesus’ Return!

The First Sunday of Advent in liturgical calendar celebrates Jesus’ Return

Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” (Revelation 6:15-17)

A HEAVENLY VISITOR

In the early morn’ of 14th September 1989, only hours after the evening’s visitor had left and I’d orally and actually shut the door to his returning to tell me more about Jesus, that night’s second visitor was far more challenging – this time it is life or death – MINE!!

In a most unusual dream that night I go back in time. A dream so lucid it remains vividly etched within me. So it must be exceptionally significant. Come back 36 years with me as, in standard dream-recall practice, I put it into present tense (dream content in blue typeface, my comments in black).:

“I am in my childhood home and standing in front of the large casement window in one corner of the lounge and I look up into the inky, dark night sky outside.
A small flotilla of large, wingless aircraft drifts slowly across from left to right at high altitude and I groan, “Oh…not that flying saucer nonsense. I must be dreaming!”
I’m sceptical about the existence of UFO’s, but now another ‘fleet’ of some sort appears from the right and heads towards the first.
(The dream now changes gear by going up a level from the usual mix of mental material to that of absolutely convincing lucidity…)
The ‘light goes on’! In my ‘knower’, I realise the first fleet is demonic and the second is masses of angels under the command of Jesus Christ! (I did not believe in them, and regarded Jesus as one of many world teachers. Here, I see no individuals but inwardly know the situation)
I think I’m about to watch an amazing heavenly battle…but…OH NO! Somehow, I now know Jesus has espied me far down below and is coming down directly towards me!
All I see is a distant bright light very rapidly getting brighter and larger as it drops down to my location, just like an airliner approaching a runway to land at night.
Instantly, I realise my life has been one of sin that contrasts starkly against Jesus’ own holiness. Right away I realise what’s claimed about the Judgement is true – but mine is about to happen right now!
Beyond any doubt whatsoever I suddenly realise my involvement in the occult was most definitely wrong. Consequently, I deserve the undesirable abode!
Groaning “My number’s up!” I inwardly tremble in fearful knowledge I’m about to die at any moment. An invisible trapdoor I’m standing on will drop me straight into hell.
Utmost mortal terror strikes! I dive under the drop-leaf table by the wall to the left of the window so I can hide from Jesus. But he knows I’m hiding there and swoops down straight through the wall on the other side of the corner window. He’s standing in the room and right beside the table!
Cowering below the table with my back turned towards him, I glance over my shoulder and see him from the knees down, his body and face out of sight above the table.
Most unexpectedly, somehow I have the courage to reach my hand out backwards to grab at the hem of Jesus’ robe…
As I tug, the event goes into yet another level of revelation regarding my childhood…”Then I awake! Thoroughly alert, further sleep eludes me!

The dream reminds me of an evocative small picture in mother’s Missal that impressed me as a child – the return of Jesus Christ:

1st Sunday in Advent - Image

Later I understand that my terror had been ‘the fear of God’ brought through the Holy Spirit in convicting me of my personal sinfulness (ie. wrongdoing) and, thus, preparing me to receive God’s grace (ie. undeserved favour).

Also, what happened after reaching for Jesus proves He’s closely acquainted with the private details of my thoughts as a little boy. The dream’s conclusion shows He’s going to topple my childish concepts of Him and replace them with a sure knowledge of His true identity.

“The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love” (Psalm 111). Mercifully, He plucked me from the domain of darkness to bring me into His own and receive its blessings. I deserved none of that. Truly, Amazing Grace – how awesome and wonderful..!

As a result of the most remarkable dream I’d ever had, I carefully reconsidered all my New Age and occultic notions. Meditational and mystical exercises had resulted in my having some unusual, ‘psychic’ dreams, but none whatsoever like this one.

The only remotely similar dream was that of an ‘altered’ state of consciousness known as ‘nirvana’, or bliss, where I’d been taken behind its alluring golden light. Ecstasy turned to abject terror as the light I was in got swept aside like a curtain to reveal a hideous, devouring beast of utter blackness approaching me – The Devourer – far worse than any nightmare! (as in Searching for Truth leads me into captivity).

I wasn’t into drugs and was ignorant of the scripture ‘satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light‘ (2 Cor 11:14). Upon reading that verse a few years later I realised its truth had been dramatically demonstrated in reverse to me as a non-Christian!

But in this new dream terrifying fear had been overcome by Jesus Christ Himself and His wonderful mercy and love.

INCREDIBLE TIMING OF FRESH CONFIRMATION

[Written October 2013] Later we will consider how that dream-vision was validated as being real. But for now I want to draw your attention to a remarkable revelatory word given two days before I’m due to give a brief account of my journey into freedom at a breakfast.

Before having that dream I don’t think I’d heard of Jesus being in charge of angels for I was completely unfamiliar with the Bible. In later years I’d learn that the pre-incarnate Christ appeared to Joshua outside Jericho as ‘Commander of the LORD’s army’, (‘Chief of the host of Yahweh’ in original Hebrew at Joshua 5:14-15).

And, in countless sessions of solid Biblical instruction received since then I don’t recall hearing anything in-depth on Jesus’ role as the captain of the angelic hosts. That is, until last Sunday!

The timing of this fresh confirmation was the second of three clear references on three successive days to the content of a brief outline of my testimony, which had already been prepared for delivery on the 4th day!

Revd John Kilpatrick changed his sermon to bring a word the Lord had given him in the early hours of Saturday at 2hrs 22. We were listening live as part of the regular online congregation and the timing impacted my spirit because 22 is not only the date of my birthday but also and particularly because there are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. (I’ve previously had occasion to note the personal relevance of two in 2.12.2012.)

Far more importantly in this word, the Lord of Hosts draws attention to the angelic hosts and their present and imminent activity. It reminded me of the above visitation – AND it is notable that John focused upon the same scripture that’s precisely relevant to my dream, as will be explained in forthcoming instalments of my journey.

For now, however, this mighty revelatory word deserves due, reverent consideration and reflection before proceeding further. If you wish to read it then click here.

A brief summation of that is given in the next part of my story: Triple validation of the reality of my life-changing Visitation.

False ‘gospel’ lured me to the devil’s door

It wasn’t a normal, vertical door but a trapdoor – and it was about to be sprung with yours truly standing on it!

In terror, moments beforehand I’d thought “My number’s up!” because I was suddenly at the end of my life AND shocked to realise hell’s below – AND, I’d be heading there – even though I used to think hell didn’t exist!  I was wrong – oh so badly wrong!!

Being anti-Christian had been a serious mistake – but it was now far too late!  Yet I’m now able to tell this true story; it is told purely for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

How did I get there? you may ask. And, how on earth did I get out of it?

We need to go back in time to the evening of 13th September 1989.

Searching for Truth leads me into captivity

Me 1962

At Mum’s sister Jenny’s house, Leicester (1962).

The intellectual freedom of higher education in the ‘swinging 60’s’ enabled me to break loose from the values of my parents and their generation. Even so, I recognised their values had enabled them to come through the destruction and deprivation of the Great Depression, World War and post-war Britain austerity with great fortitude.

As outlined in “You Shouldn’t Be At Our School!”, a formative influence upon a child of the post-war ‘baby boom’ was the disharmony and hypocrisy between churches. In my mind it tarred all Christians with the same brush and badly reflected upon the God they believed in.

Nevertheless, when a child I’d once thought it must have been awesome to have been around Jesus and seen everything He said and did. Continue reading →

“You shouldn’t be at our school!” – Whyever not?

Whilst playing with my pals one of them suddenly stops, eyeballs me hard and scolds me, “You shouldn’t be at our school – you should be at the one Cat’licks go to!”

I’m stunned into silence.

I can’t recall my response other than distress.

Upon reflection it’s possible I denied the accusation outright. I’d like to have responded, “So what? It’s where my parents want me to be!”

Such a riposte, however, would have plugged straight into something worse – parental conflict!

BBC IS MELTING: British State Broadcaster To Apologize for Doctored Editing of Trump J6 Speech, Under Fire for Its Pro-Hamas, Pro-Trans and Climate Change Biases

Pondering how to entitle this post I find the above header popped out, in a similar vein to 9 years ago when I simply surmised about the Lord starting to expose rotten politics in UK, USA & EU. Validations started trickling out and began to gush with the 2020 US presidential election and gathered momentum, then this year have become explosive! (#Exposures tag)

So maybe the trans-Atlantic uproar during the past week over the exclusive exposures published in detail last Monday, and more in the Daily Telegraph’s BBC Bias Dossier, I pray will start to bring a long-overdue change to the mainstream media narrative, as has happened in the States. Most willingly imbibed it totally free of critical thought and checking, taking on-board lies of ‘fact checkers’ and thus got thoroughly brainwashed and conditioned by REAL FAKE news!

First then, today’s scripture I captioned “Wonderous Ways” on the blog’s Telegram and I now grin at unintentional timing of next item 3 minutes later at my ’22’ (yet again!):

So we note Thursday’s and today’s online headers followed by a tad more:

BBC HANGS ITSELF – BY ITS OWN PETARD!!

This by Stephen Pollard, previously political columnist with The Times and Daily Mail, also writing for The Independent and The Sunday Telegraph and editor of The Jewish Chronicle, is perhaps the most telling on its deeply anti-Israel bias. Stephen begins.:

‘The Yiddish word ‘chutzpah’ is sometimes defined as when a man who has killed both his parents pleads for mercy on the grounds that he is an orphan.

The BBC has now given us a new definition, albeit unintentionally. You may have seen the ad boasting about its own brilliance that the BBC has been broadcasting since last month. It’s been difficult to avoid. Narrated by Clive Myrie, it begins with a compilation of videos of various stories that have been subject to disinformation, AI deepfakes and fake news.

“Disinformation, you think you’re winning” says Myrie portentously as the clips roll. But wait! Disinformation is up against the wondrous BBC and, “The more you try to drown out reality, the harder we’ll work to establish the facts…It’s the pursuit of truth that gives us our calling.”

Hurrah for the BBC and its reporters, our fighters for truth!

The ad ends with the only indisputable assertion in the whole 90 seconds: “Trust is earned.” Indeed so. Which is why the BBC’s ad should be seen not as the paean of praise to the necessity of the corporation that was its intention but rather as the starkest and clearest marker of just how far from basic journalistic standards BBC News has fallen. Far from being the clarion of objectivity and truth that it presents itself as, BBC News has become one of the very worst sources of disinformation and distortion in news media.’..

‘The BBC has been one of the chief false prophets of the past decade. This isn’t “a right-wing plot.” It’s about a taxpayer-funded broadcaster that, on issues ranging from immigration to trans ideology, British history to Israel, Donald Trump to border control, Covid lockdown overreach to vaccine coercion, and climate alarmism to identity politics and Christian-genocide-denial, has consistently pursued a systemically biased, liberal-progressive, neo-Marxist groupthink representing no more than 15% of the country. It’s now being called out — and rightly so. More heads need to roll. Throw Jezebel down.’

Inspiring books on holy-writ by prolific Peter Russell-Yarde

Further to my above-linked introduction, as an encouraging recommendation Peter emailed this interesting comment, which he kindly permits me to share :

“In checking the galley for my book The Tent of the Meeting, rabbi Aaron asked me to write, I can understand why he and a graduate in the US described it as awesome. It is very deep teaching and I am amazed that I wrote it. At 250k + words it is not a small book.

This is what Aaron sent me (May 2007) from China when he was a missionary there:

“Decided to be slightly humorous in my comments, all the following comments are absolutely true. “Jesus very good ruler/king/warlord, cares for you and protects the old, (ill, weak, young, orphans, widows), Have faith in Him and be of respect for ever”. Is part of your work translated into Chinese and translated back again and then passed through a prayer group. Everything you write is absolutely true and a command of God, is the general concensus (sic) of opinion.

Just out of curiosity what it feel like have at least 400000 believing every word you say?

Currently have a class of 30 elders learning fluent English so they can read your words themselves. Would be very helpful if you did a short piece, (300000 words) on faith, worship and what it means to follow Jesus and just to make it interesting, you have to write it for a 12 year old. This means no big words

The 30 elders I am teaching English to have absolute faith in three things,

  1. God, Holy Spirit, Jesus
  2. Peter Russell-Yarde
  3. The Bible is the word of God

Asked them to write the 3 things that were important to them and thats the order they came in. Sorry Peter not going to worship you :))))))

Just spent 2 weeks convincing the 30 that you may be a prophet but God has not chosen to tell anybody yet which is unusual if you are a full blown prophet.

Then I had to explain about Temple Scribes, prophets and messengers and its not proper to worship people as God will be miffed (understating the case here ). Its quite frightening to see absolute faith in so many people and seeing things happen because they were prayed for is a bit awesome as well.

Only spent 2 days explaining we had to pray for you as well, their reply was “why we have to pray with Peter he talks to God?”

Hmmmmmmmm think I covered that pretty effectively but used a lot of “The Wrath Of God”, in my explanations of their views on that one. Got them worried for quite a long time until they pointed out that God has not told them different. If you came to China You would be worshipped as a Prophet or a Saint. You are an inspiration to a lot of people Peter,

Take care God Bless Aaron”

The rise of the Fourth Reich in UK – Revd Chris Wickland (Richard’s Watch goes full circle: 20)

PROLOGUE

WHEELS-within-wheels continue with Revd Christopher’s video message showing events really are happening as outlined 16 years ago in my very first email/blog The Endgame IS Now In Play of 29 February 2009. Therein I write,

‘However, (forbidding prayer for patients in hospital) 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 … Rampant lawlessness now exists not only in society but also within legal authorities – laws not approved by Parliament – ‘snoop and snitch’ culture – correction punished and evil behaviour rewarded – ID cards and routine interception of email and phones – etc etc. Clearly, Banking isn’t the only thoroughly corrupt UK institution.’

Several posts herein plus more on my personal Facebook and blog’s Telegram feature on police activity and arrests turning the UK into a fascist farce, and ridiculed across the ‘pond’ at presidential level. AND PM Starmer has digital identity cards in the pipeline!

SO we’re getting Apocalyptic, as in Revelation 13’s Mark of the Beast as I warned about from a personal insight “maSks only one letter away from maRk” (2024 summary).

So, it’s most encouraging that some church leaders have started speaking out….

Please take time to watch this half-hour sermon and I’m grateful to Chris Wickland for kindly providing this summary of the heart of this most serious issue (emphases RB):

THE RISE OF THE FOURTH REICH – Chris Wickland

What I want to talk about today is what I call the rise of the Fourth Reich.

In Nazi Germany, there was the Third Reich. For those who don’t know, “Reich” means kingdom or empire. According to Hitler:

  • The First Reich was the Roman Empire.
  • The Second Reich was Germany in its heyday.
  • The Third Reich was Hitler’s attempt to bring Germany to global prominence, which led to terrible atrocities under the guise of progress and nationalism.

The other night, Tracy and I watched the Bonhoeffer movie—Pastor, Spy, Assassin.

Watching it gave me chills because I saw parallels in Britain today. Initially, I thought the message was too strong, too much to share. But after recent events, it’s clear this is a time to speak, to challenge what’s happening.

In Bonhoeffer’s day, pastors were arrested for speaking the truth — 800 of them. How many pastors in Britain today would dare to speak the truth? Few, because reputation matters more than the cause of Christ.

A quote from the Daily Telegraph highlights current issues (RB: DT search results):

“The news that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are to be banned from attending Aston Villa’s Europa League match in Birmingham is perhaps the highest-profile example yet of two-tiered policing. This case lays bare an ugly truth about British policing in 2025. The police have chosen to afford different rights to different groups. Israelis—or Jews—have again been relegated to second-class status. Imagine if it involved mainly Muslim supporters—would the outcome have been the same?”

This is happening in our nation. Subtle, clever propaganda is at work. We’re told actions are “for their safety” — a tactic reminiscent of totalitarian control.

Before diving further, let’s ground ourselves in Scripture. Ephesians 5:11 says:

“Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead expose them.”

Every Christian has a responsibility to speak, to act, to stand. To not speak is to speak. To not act is to act. There is no neutrality. You are either for righteousness or for darkness!

The Church is called to be children of the light, shining in this dark hour. Alarmingly, many churches today are doing their best to do nothing.

The Church’s prophetic role is to hold those in power accountable. This is what Bonhoeffer emphasized. If the Church needs to raise her voice, it is NOW!

I witnessed people at a protest in Southampton, hugging me, crying, grateful to see Christians with the courage to stand for truth and defend the nation. Grown adults were moved by someone simply wearing a clerical collar.

Consider the treatment of Jewish people:

  • banned under the guise of “safety,”
  • denied access to events, while governments and institutions remain silent.
  • Last year, London’s largest Christmas market was told to rename itself a “Winter Market” to avoid offending anyone.
  • This is cultural erasure.

It’s also a spiritual war. Cultural Marxism, political correctness, woke ideology—they infiltrate churches and society alike.

Compassion has become a cult, replacing justice and righteousness.

Christians must resist being duped by misleading agendas like Black Lives Matter or pro-Palestinian narratives that, at their core, aim to delegitimize Jews.

Zechariah 12:3 reminds us of the End-times significance of hatred against Jews:

“…all who lift it [Jerusalem] will be severely injured, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.”

We see a subtle global hatred for Jews, often hidden behind terms like “anti-Zionist.” Yet Zionism simply affirms Jews’ right to their homeland. To oppose that is to oppose them.

The Church must not stay silent.

Many denominations today, including state churches and evangelicals, have taken pro-Palestinian stances. Some even forbid praying for Israel.

Those who remain quiet or complicit are aiding a cultural agenda reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

Matthew 5:13-16 teaches:

“You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden… Let your light shine before men…”

Churches have lost their saltiness. Many fear offending or being labeled extremist, prioritizing reputation over obedience. Yet Jesus called us to take up our cross daily, to live sacrificially, and to let our light shine.

History shows that Hitler promised the Church safety if it stayed out of politics. Today, Christians are told the same. But Scripture calls us to influence the world for God’s Kingdom — to be yeast in the dough, salt in the wounds, light in the darkness.

Who do we serve? The Jewishness of Jesus is suppressed in our churches. He is not a “nice white hippie”; He is the Jewish Messiah, and He will reign from Israel. Hatred of Israel or Jews is incompatible with serving Christ.

Acts 5:29:

“We must obey God rather than man.”

Romans 13 teaches submission to authority — but only when it aligns with God’s will. When governments contradict Scripture, Christians must stand for God, not man. [RB note verse 4 – governments are to act against – NOT promote and practice – evil.]

Christianity today faces persecution—sometimes subtle, sometimes overt. Those who speak truth are labeled fascists, Nazis, or racist. Yet those truly operating in that spirit are often anti-Semitic, woke, or culturally Marxist—mirroring the Church of the Third Reich.

Faith without action is dead. Silence in the face of evil is complicity. Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned:

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless.”

This is the defining hour: light or darkness, truth or compromise. The Church must stand, proclaim righteousness, and resist the rise of the Fourth Reich in our time.

Amen.
