Puzzle In Sky by Idea Go, courtesy Freedigitalphotos.net
Four years ago, I addressed a group of UK prophets about prophecy being like pieces of an invisible jigsaw puzzle. By way of introduction I told how the Lord introduced me – a non-believer! – to the reality of Bible prophecy. Continue reading
Months after that night of destiny in 1989 I trashed my occult and New Age books, yet I kept some items that were very significant to membership in those occult brotherhoods. But very soon, troubles brewed up within my relationships. And they got worse, and worse. So I asked for prayer help and gathered all those remaining things, such as ritualistic items and pictures. Right at the peak of my trouble I heard an almost audible voice instruct me to...“Burn what you’ve collected – NOW!”
Never, ever, would I have believed what was to happen next:
Out in the backyard I piled those membership items onto an area of gravel and, putting a match to them, I sincerely repented.
Fanning the flames, I apologised deeply to God for all my past rebellious, sinful activity and specifically renounced satan and all evil connected with those occult associations.
As I asked God to forgive me, heavy invisible shackles suddenly dropped off my wrists!
I felt, and was, free, completely free – exactly as is jubilantly sung in Charles Wesley’s great hymn And Can It Be?
WOW, from despair to jubilation within a split second! What utter freedom! Praise Him!
That hymn’s lyrics present the simple yet sublime salvation found in our Father’s good news about Jesus.
How aptly the third verse describes my personal situation and what had just happened – my wonderful liberation from invisible bondage to satan.:
1. And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Saviour’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God shouldst die for me?
2. He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace!
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race!
‘Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me.
3. Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night.
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray:
I woke the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
4. No condemnation now I dread:
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach th’ eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
If you’re unfamiliar with Charles Wesley brother of the renowned evangelical founder of Methodism, John Wesley, read here about his equally famous influence as author of many well-known hymns; eg. Love Divine, all love’s excelling, Hark the herald angels…
Listen to one of the greatest hymns as broadcast some years ago in Songs of Praise, thanks to Fabio Ramsay.:
I will rejoice in the Lord, I will exult in the victorious God of my salvation! (Hab 3:1)
To read my testimony in full go to Jesus Freed Me! There, you’ll find an overview of my background, two life-changing divine appointments and how the Lord began to instruct me…all to HIS glory. May you be mightily blessed upon following the links therein…
I remain, your brother in Christ
Richard
On 7.9.23 ‘CA’ emailed me about his calling as an intercessor, extracts from which read as follows:
“Dear Brother, greetings from across the pond…(I want to) encourage your dear wife, especially when the message she received from the Lord is so intense…
URGENT ALERT: Holy Spirit instructs, “Stand firm in the Lord” in coming days!
This could be a long message and must not, so for brevity’s sake I write to confirm Nina’s prophetic word/warning. I was handed an intercessory assignment from the Holy Spirit over a year ago, specifically for your….”
Today, on catching-up I find this from Pennsylvania…
EARLY THIS MORNING (email at 09.27 British Summer Time)
‘Dear Richard,
I have just been awakened from sleep..The urgency conveyed by Holy Spirit to mine is unlike anything I’ve experienced before and I felt instructed to contact you and tell you about it, almost as it is being downloaded to me….
“Urgent! Urgent is this day! Today! This very day is the Day of Destiny for many nations as their rise and fall are determined in back rooms of gross darkness by utter degenerates devoid of compassion and totally in opposition to My Son!
Fall! Fall before Me on behalf of the innocents, the babes, even the babbling fools who are duped yet cling to some straw of hope, for it may yet save them.
Today! Today is that Day spoken of in the Courts of Heaven, when evil will seem to get the upper hand. But I have set for My enemies a trap that will disgrace them:
I have told you…Today! Do not be caught by surprise. Look up ! Look to Me! Tune your ear to My Songs of War and Victory…and compassionate intercession.”
My own spirit has now gone from urgency to peaceful rest, brother. I’ve been obedient. I believe there is a turning point today and we have been warned. I pray a confirmation will be given. If not, i am content to be be foolish…and I know you know the drill as we say over here. Praying for your counsel or thoughts and with blessings to Nina and all your house, Richard,
From Pittsburgh, PA.’
SO PLEASE WEIGH & PRAY!
Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus, ‘For I always pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him by having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), and [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when raising Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], far above all rule and authority and power dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come…. [Eph1:17-21, Amplified Bible. We decree that the blindness be removed from the eyes of all the peoples of this land so they may see Jesus Christ is Lord.]
IN CELEBRATING MY SPIRITUAL BIRTHDAY I THANK GOD FOR MY EARTHLY AND ETERNAL LIVES
Lord, help me love everyone,even wrongdoers, with Your awesome, gracious undying love
Life-changing as my ‘rescue’ was in that dream-visitation on 14th September 1989, I did not want to rush off to church. The event’s effect and ramifications upon my philosophy of life needed careful consideration. For example, I needed to check out widespread claims of the Bible having been compiled and modified by Church councils in the 4th Century after Christ, as well as learn about its history from authoritative sources. [Prof F.F. Bruce’s The Books and The Parchments (1991) was very helpful, especially about the ‘Muratorian Fragment’. Drawn up in late 2nd Century in the church at Rome, it lists practically all the canonical New Testament literature.]
So not only did I need to assess those personal implications, but also as possibly a new believer in Jesus Christ I wanted to find well-informed believers who take Him seriously. I soon did so, but then needed to put their claims of hearing direct from God to the test. After all, they believe we have a relationship with Him and so we have but to ask…
‘…but mercy (full of glad confidence) exults victoriously over judgement’ – James 2:13 (The Amplified Bible)
Quite some time was needed to gain a full understanding of that awesome visitation thirty-four years ago and being confronted by the absolute holiness of the Lord Jesus Christ. No wonder I was intensely convicted and suddenly knew personal judgement definitely IS TRUE! As mentioned, I fully expected to take my last breath there and then and be dropped down into Hell.
It was a few years until I heard that “mercy triumphs over judgement” – yes indeed it does and thank you for being so gracious to me, my Lord. May it be similarly so for the multitudes who don’t yet know You.
That life-changing encounter used two personally intimate aspects of my life, unknown to any living soul, to grab my attention and thereby validate the experience as being real, not imaginary. Even more amazingly, both validations are directly related to the 1st and 2nd Advents! Thus, they could not but enhance my interest in End-Times that had begun only a few years earlier when reading The Invisible Hand (as described herein). Yet it took me 30 years for it to dawn upon me that when that happened I’d been given the first two pieces of an ‘invisible jigsaw’!!!
The First Advent was 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 begin in the city of Jerusalem.
FIRST VALIDATION
I inwardly ‘knew’ that heavenly visitor was indeed Jesus Christ himself, and that His impressive swift descent was a foretaste of His promised return in all His glory.
The event reminded me of my favourite picture in mother’s Missal, or service book of the Roman Mass. This gave the scriptures for Sunday services throughout the year together with a picture symbolising the theme for each service. As a boy very keen on astronomy I’d been fascinated by the picture for the First Sunday in Advent. It depicted Jesus standing on the clouds over a burning earth in the midst of sun, moon and falling stars, telling of events before his Second Advent!
The validation referred to above came almost as unusually. On a healing retreat six years later, a minister told me God would show me something after lunch. Indeed He did for a lady whom I’d never met and was seated at my table confided after lunch that the Lord told her to show me something she greatly treasured.
It was a photo taken from an aircraft over a thunderstorm. When developed, the photo bore an image of Jesus Christ as though standing within the clouds. But the facial features were hazy; exactly like Jesus in my dream because I’d not seen His face!! (I seem to recall hazy clouds at the foot of the image. This one shown is published by Bible Probe.)
My legs gave way upon seeing this photo as I couldn’t remain standing but had to drop down into a nearby chair! My companion, Yvonne, said I went so white she thought I was going to faint or fall. Continue reading
As in two previous posts, thirty-four years ago I’d politely shut the door to further visits by a young church worker to discuss the Gospel. But a few hours later the Lord Jesus Christ in person crashed through the wall to get to me!
Unusually, yesterday wasn’t a full blogging day for I needed to finish outdoor renovation work. That last post had already been scheduled to appear, but just before it did I read the day’s verse:
Its closing command is timely regarding an on-going chat over eschatology, BUT then I noticed the verses’ reference echoes the home-address number of the location (212) of my life-changing dream!
No such thing as coincidence! This must be of the Lord – as though He’s knocking at my door!
Moreover, more was in store! Before starting the maintenance work I checked emails and found this sent Wednesday at 16:17hrs from Tim Shey in Idaho…(emphases mine):
So I dashed off this reply yesterday, Thursday at 09:22 (I assure you, timestamp not contrived):
‘LOL – ALSO Tim, whilst copying last night’s post (from older version) I was struck with the reason why there’s been SO MANY double 22’s turning up lately:
Therein, I refer to the young evangelist having the same birthday as me: 22 Sept. I realised THAT’s the original double 22 in my life’s journey and thus becomes on-going confirmation and stressing a special significance of items!’
Sometime soon I hope to carve out time to watch that video. Meantime, you may be interested to read the next post as it gives an earlier validation of ‘212‘….Testimonial continues >
Upon awaking on 14th September 1989, I was overjoyed to find I’m still alive after having had such a very close call with death in the night!
The previous evening I’d firmly shut the door to hearing any more about God’s Good News! But the night-time had been spent at my childhood home of 212 E___ Rd, Stockport, Cheshire, to undergo a life-changing event. [PS. Number is emphasised in view of God-incidence today! – click to read all about it.]
In a most unusual dream I went back in time and space. A dream so lucid that even four decades later it remains vividly etched within me. Here’s what happened, as copied from original with comments in italics, pls bear with close-type as too much formatting code to revise.:
A HEAVENLY VISITOR
‘I am in my childhood home and standing in front of the very tall casement window in one corner of the lounge. 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 absolute 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 that strongly impressed me when a child – the return of Jesus Christ:
Later I understand that my terror had been ‘the fear of God’ brought by Holy Spirit’s convicting me of my personal wrongdoing and, thus, preparing me to receive God’s grace – a totally undeserved favour!
Also, what happened after reaching for Jesus, and which I’ve yet to tell, proves He’s so closely acquainted with my intimate thoughts when a boy. The dream’s conclusion shows He’s going to topple those childish concepts and replace them with an absolutely 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 Kingdom 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 was left with no choice but to seriously reconsider all my New Age and occult notions. Meditational and mystical exercises had resulted in my having some unusual, ‘psychic’ dreams, but none like this one.
The only one remotely similar was that of being in an ‘altered’ state of consciousness known as ‘nirvana’, or bliss, but where I’d been taken behind its alluring golden light. Sheer 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 – far, far worse than any nightmare!
I wasn’t into drugs but was ignorant of the scripture ‘satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light‘ (2 Cor 11:14). Upon reading that verse years later, I realised its truth had been dramatically demonstrated to me as a non-Christian!
But in this new dream my terrifying fear had been overcome by Jesus Christ Himself and His wonderful mercy and love. He ‘arrested’ me in my sin only to rescue me from falling into the pit of Hell.
In this stunning night the Truth I’d been searching for since a teenager turned up in Person – thank You Lord. And lots more Truth was to come as I began to open the door to His Good News!
Moreover, this amazing encounter was yet to be validated on three occasions!!!
So, if you don’t yet know Jesus Christ and have a personal relationship with Him, you may wish to know more and consider this vital matter at Do You Know Jesus?
‘Twas a fateful day written in my destiny – perhaps in heaven too?
On the evening of 13th September 1989 a young man, barely an adult, came to visit and chat – but I ended up discretely disagreeing!
I didn’t know a false gospel had lured me to the Devil’s Door around the time Peter was born 21 years earlier – thus half my age. However, I was to discover it wasn’t a normal door but a trapdoor about to be sprung – with me standing on it!!
In abject terror I groaned “My number’s up!” because I’d unexpectedly and suddenly come to the end of my life!
What’s more, I was absolutely terrified to realise hell really is below me and that I’d be heading down there – even though I didn’t believe in it! I was wrong – so badly, badly wrong!!
Being anti-Christian had been a grave mistake – but it was now far too late! Yet I’m now able to tell this true story 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? Continue reading
The usual blog-day Thursday is very different today in view of changes to our schedule this week and so with only an hour I offer this miscellany of items. First, my birthday number 22 just keeps on popping up as though by ‘God-incidence’. For example, this from The Telegraph’s coverage last week of Donald Trump’s arraignment:
Veronika writes,
“I will endeavour to share some with you as God has shown me. Some of the Dream is easy to understand and it’s meaning is very clear.
I have found the timing of this Dream extremely prophetically significant, because those of you who follow this Ministry will know that I shared a powerful Vision (see below) in June of 2018 — which I believe runs parallel to this recent poignant dream encounter.
The timing given in the Vision in June 2018 spoke to five months of danger — however Bullfighting is notorious for the months of June — October… hence this timing given then.
But for this Dream to come now (August) and the Word coming through the Dream of the next three months being a key time, we must stop and pay close attention!
I believe this Dream is speaking to August — November time.
Now, while I do believe the next three (3) months will be extremely significant in how God is moving to Build and Establish certain things through His Ecclesia in the Nation, I submit, for the next 3/6/9 months = the next 18 months = 9+9, will be Incredibly significant in how the foundations of The Nation of America are Shaken, Reset and Reformed.
The next eighteen (18) months will be a time of Birthing and Judgement [for America]! “

Regarding my ‘equation of national breakdown’ possibly being predictive, Margaret at ReadyTo Worship comments:
“A very interesting teaching by Robin Bullock came out yesterday on Youtube, concerning the parallels between Clinton/Obama/Biden and Donald Trump, and Saul – those who appropriated the crown after Saul, and finally David. Amazingly it is following the exact pattern, starting with the evil ‘king’ who has already been told he lost the land by Samuel, and as he refused to hand the crown over he gradually lost his mind. Then others jumped in to take over, but still without God’s hand on them, and lost their heads even! But, according to God’s will, it came at last to his David. We will watch the same pattern play out until finally the ‘crown’ will be placed on Donald J Trump’s head, where God appointed it to be. So we can sit back and watch the Circus, as you rightly shared, and wait for the appointed time. Hallelujah. “
Margaret kindly checks and provides a link to The Eleventh Hour S22 #12 (LOL -ONLY JUST NOW NOTICED!) and says “The part I referred to begins at 40.12 and continues for a while. I hope that you find it as relevant as I think it seems for today.”:
So, I look forward to carving out eventually a chunk of time to play video at fast speed.
Likewise for this video sent on Facebook sent me last Thursday by Bright Jonah and who kindly permits my quoting his introduction, as follows:
“America is gradually inching towards the fulfilment of this 40 year old prophecy. After watching this detailed video you will have a clear picture of where the United States government and their current persecution of President Trump and their (ungodly) agenda is heading towards….The Holy Spirit saw in advance that America will be ruled by communists in the White House pretending to be democrats and they will decimate America to the point of Sodom and Gomorrah in the scriptures thus attracting swift judgment from God in heaven.”
A REMINDER OF JESUS’ PROPHECY
20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, [f]‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is [g]within you.”
22 Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you,[h]‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them.24 For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.”
Readers may recall my brief summary of Two Significant 7-year Cycles on Obama and Trump posted a fortnight ago. The mid-point of the 2008-2016-2023 double cycle is my first blog, as linked below, mentioning Donald Trump and which began a long series of almost 450 posts on that predictive musing actually being prophetic!
Its main section reads as follows:
‘NB: The admittance to secret contact with Iran as early as 2011 is incorrect – TWO years too late! It started very early in Obama’s first term and prior to his infamous Cairo speech, as I wrote 7 years ago (18 May 2009) in Today’s Importance in History:
‘this [diplomatic storm] involved attempts to turn the Arab world and Europe against Israel, and to appease Iran – even to ‘blackmailing’ Israel over its nuclear defence! (It’s reported Obama wanted to be able to use Iran’s territory for supplying US troops in Afghanistan and Pakistan.) Also, there’s been dismay in Cairo and Riyadh over his courting the terrorist mentors in Teheran.’ [per DebkaFile intelligence reports].’
The American issue has since developed: The White House refuses to let Rhodes testify (Fox News 17 May). Yesterday Reuters reports on the Hilary Clinton’s illegal activities, Clinton email server broke government rules. HA! LOL! Maybe that’s why mine was giving me such serious bother this morning 🙂
And today the Telegraph Tax Investigation into Trump was published; ie. a report on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s US tax avoidance activities.
All that’s probably nothing compared with the EU, which hasn’t been able to publish any certified accounts for donkey’s years!!’
NOW, today comes this directly pertinent news which I first noticed herein:

Biden Advisor STRIPPED of TOP SECRET Clearance After Mishandling Classified Docs.
Added to which comes this promise
Further to interrupting Friday’s start to the long Bank Holiday weekend with my quick perspective on America’s ‘make or break’ day I spotted this on Saturday wherein a US politician uttered similar thoughts – and had even appeared in UK left-liberal press!
REMINDER: on 7.7.21 in US election’s NOT over – the numbers don’t add up! I posit:
Ruminating upon the current course of the dis-United States of America, devoid of the Lord’s direct intervention, I figure it can be expressed as an ‘equation’, viz:
4 year’s attempted ‘soft coup’ + sedition + rigged elections + cyber-censorship + crooked law enforcement + unjust judges = civil war OR martial law!
Of course my birthday number happens to turn up when I want a picture of this post!

John’s reminder of Billy Graham holding the Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other speaks into how the Lord stunned me as a not yet born-again Christian by directly introducing me to Bible prophecy, as though grabbing me by His Invisible Hand, as told in https://richards-watch.org/about/welcome-to-blog-and-about-me/
Following Encore Choir’s highly successful Summer Show last weekend, the weekly practices have closed until next term, and so last night we were at home watching one of our easy-going crime mysteries – the highly popular:
Click image for link to BBC iPlayer (overwrites this screen)
‘DI Mooney and team enter the high-stakes world of poker ($3,000,000 jackpot) when a finalist is poisoned during the Caribbean Poker Masters tournament. The only suspects are seated around the same table. When even a twitch of an eye can reveal a player’s hand, just how did the killer commit murder?’
Only when it was at the above-shown point did I recall that only hours earlier, in a day of many activities, carving out time to blog an update on Veronika West’s dream of a Trump vs Biden high stakes poker game.
Now what Detective Inspector Mooney says in his soft Irish accent when starting to address and question the gathered suspects struck me as directly relevant to the prophecy (46 mins time-point):
“I thought poker was just a silly card game, but had it not been for my associate here, I realised I was wrong! Of course poker’s not really a card game at all, is it? It’s a game of people, that just happen to be playing with cards!
And so I realised that’s probably how Donald Trump is playing his opponents – as many of his supporters suppose!
SO maybe the Lord is confirming the validity of the prophetic dream – and timing?
My reference to others’ opinions in the previous part, as putting themselves in spiritual danger, is not to cause offence; but I’m very concerned over believers failing to benefit personally from Jesus’ torturous death. I can attest to the fact of having almost died and been dropped into hell as an unsaved soul upon His visiting me in 1989, as told in this post:
Moreover, that was an astonishing holy contrast with what scared the wits out of me years earlier when confronted by the gigantic demonic devourer!
A letter to the editor of the Telegraph from VB published last Saturday supports my previous post on the fatherhood of God and arrives at the correct conclusion:
Thank you VB for it is well-worth noting and remembering your personal testimony.
I began drafting this 5 weeks ago in the busy lead-up to our holiday, but it got overtaken by necessary posts! Here’s what I wrote…
‘Now Summer’s here and more time outdoors and less at the desk, kindly bear with my thoughts on where we may be at in the Lord’s plans. In all humility, a bit of personal background for the bigger picture of the Invisible Jigsaw:
Therefore, in watching events and monitoring Bible and modern prophecies i’ve been looking forward to how the tares, or poisonous darnel, will get weeded out of the Lord’s harvest and destroyed. It must relate to the manifestation of God’s wrath and judgement against evil.
Yearning for that to happen and looking to the Lord’s eventual return, as foreseen in my life-changing Visitation of 1989, I began writing 20 years later. Launching this blog in 2011 its title was to have been ‘Invisible Jigsaw’ but could not find a suitable logo! However, that didn’t prevent my blogging about ‘God-incidental’ events as ‘jigsaw pieces’ and the associated concept of the role of cycles of time; as for example in three consecutive 7-year points this very month (2009, 2016, 2023).
Occasionally I’ve blogged about strategies of satan and its servants. Herein, I submit a summary of the linked ‘exposure’ events the Lord has kindly shown me as part of His Grand Plan. It is offered in humility to help us get a handle on what’s blown my mind!
So it boils down to this:’
…..(???) AND that’s as far as I’d got on Tuesday 23rd May on what may be a summary of the Lord’s prophetic strategy across the ‘Pond’.
Scrolling through that month’s closing days I’m now reminded of the two 5-day cyclical events of exposures in UK and USA, as recounted in GPS #96.4 and note I’d at long last blogged on Christopher Wickland’s recounting of scriptures and insights from the Lord on End-times’ shakings.
And this week began with another word he brought echoing a Verse for the Day that had strongly struck me on prophets, so kindly bear with me as I gather my thoughts….
Dear Readers,
I’m very touched by and appreciative of many friends’ concern over my disappearance online during our fortnight holiday watching the world go by whilst island-hopping on this side of the ‘Pond’, not far from the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa.
When introducing the featured post Time to Tarry…to Wait and Watch‘ I did, however, strongly hint about the seasonal change in activities, but kept ‘mum’ about location on the grounds of insurance liability.
So we went incommunicado and returned Saturday, still in hols-mode for the weekend and now (indoors – ugh!) catching up not only with dozens of email but important online matters.
Friends with whom we often enjoy tapas meals in Port Solent (Portsmouth) explored Cadiz with us to discover and enjoy a fully Spanish tapas in the Plaza San Francisco:
Mine was served last but well-worth the wait = YUMMmmm 🙂
Eventually, when getting briefly online on my phone hours after our return, I was amazed to read immediately two confirmations of what came during my ‘tarrying’ with the Lord over my journey in Him. Also, the news on both sides of the ‘Pond’ married up with my prophetic musings…but more on the weekend prophecies and politics another time.
‘Tasters’ of those items may be found on what I’ve managed to find and share on this blog’s Telegram and my personal Facebook.
Once again, a sincere thank you for following my blogging and trust you are thereby blessed.
Now summer days are arriving with lots more time spent outdoors and less at the desk, this published by Veronika on Tuesday morning makes an ace kick-start for doing so, especially being on the theme of time spent waiting and watching – and getting close to the Lord:
Here by courtesy of His Kingdom Prophecy (click title for link):
IT’S TIME TO RAISE THE SAILS OF EXPECTATION
Those who wait and tarry will be caught up and carried by The Seven Spirit Winds of Restoration and Acceleration in the days ahead — only those who wait and tarry!
Friends, ministering unto God must proceed ministering unto men. Intimacy with The Father must proceed influence with men!
Intimacy builds the foundation to carry Revelation. The deeper the foundation of your Intimacy with God, the greater the Revelation that foundation is able to handle.
Shallow foundations can only carry shallow Revelation!
While in Prayer early this morning, I became aware that while I was waiting and tarrying in The Presence, there was coming an impartation of Divine Restoration and Acceleration over my life — but also over The Nations I have been carrying in my spirit of late.
The Nations of Africa were suddenly highlighted to me again a few days ago, and even as I was waiting and tarrying for The Nations of Africa, I heard these Words,
”Those who wait and tarry will come into Divine Restoration and Acceleration in this hour!
Those who wait will be taken higher, further and deeper.
Ask not for open doors, but hunger for deeper dimensions, for out of the deep will come the strategies for overcoming the powers of darkness.
I say to you, I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in Secret Places, so that you may “know” that I AM The LORD — The God of Israel — yes! Who has summoned ‘you’ by name!
Watch! For the sake of Jacob My Servant, of Israel My Chosen, I summon you ‘by name’ and bestow upon you a title of honour among Nations, though you do not acknowledge Me!”
As I heard The Spirit speak, suddenly I felt a mighty rushing wind in the realm of The Spirit and I heard a sound coming from deep within the winds of The Spirit — the sound of The Roar of The Seven Spirits of God — the sound of Distinction — the sound of Awakening — the sound of the Birthing of Sheep Nations. And I heard these Words,
”I have called you to come out from among them! I call you Mine!
I call you a Marked People and a Marked Place!
Watch — for Goshen nations shall rise in the midst of the darkness — thin places of Divine Encounter and Supernatural Power.
Watch — for The Whirlwind of My Seven Spirits shall move to gather up and scatter abroad.
I say, now comes the Grace for Restoration!
Now comes the Grace for Acceleration!
Behold, a Door stands before The Nations in The Valley of Decision.
A Door of Reformation stands before Prodigal Nations!
I say, come up here! Come up higher! Come to The Altar! Return and Repent — for the fatted calf has been prepared and a Banqueting Table of Reconciliation has been prepared in the presence of your enemies.”
Suddenly The Spirit of Revelation whispered to me, ”A catch-up wind of My Spirit now comes to those who wait and tarry. A mighty Seven Wind of Restoration and Acceleration now comes to those who wait and tarry!”
I heard The Spirit say, ”Watch — for now I AM releasing a ‘catch-up wind’ that will lift and carry the weary.
Yes! A catch-up wind of My Spirit that will bring a great Acceleration and Momentum to those who have been weighed down and heavy burdened.
Ha! Watch! As My Catch-up Winds begin to blows forth in this hour!
A supernatural Wind that will take My People fast forward into the future plans and purposes I have for them — a catch-up Wind that will cause that grip of the spirit of delay to be broken, and the heavy yoke of the oppressor to be lifted from their necks.
I say, it’s time to raise The Sails of Expectation! For the catch-up Winds are now blowing! The hour of Radical Hope is here!”
Blessings to you all.

When a friend asked my opinion of the transcript below, I was pleasantly surprised to find that pastor Christopher Wickland confirms two personal prominent prophetic items, as shared in my Footnote below.
First however, let’s recall the importance of precedence of authority in the Holy Spirit gifting of prophecy, as follows:
The following auto-generated transcript (hence continuous text) copied into Facebook, is kindly provided by Susie Pope to Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival and I’ve added a few sub-heads for ease-of-reference.
Note that this is a lengthy conversational presentation rather formal discourse.
CHRIS WICKLAND – COLLAPSE OF POLITICS, ECONOMIES AND CHURCH, PLUS WARS
“My name is Pastor Chris Wickland and I want to share with you some visions and dreams the Lord has given me a long time ago that I’ve never shared publicly with anybody but I feel now is the time to do so and it’s pertaining to things regarding the End of the Age which is not quite yet, but we’ll be soon and I’ll I’ll unpack that and explain that. So today’s date is the 15th of February 2023. Continue reading
On Sunday my mind’s eye was filled with an image of a GINORMOUS BICYCLE, the wheels of which span the Atlantic but as though on a treadmill. The front, leading wheel is standing here in the British Isles and the rear wheel ‘follows’ by standing over the United States – and each bears a particular pattern relating to a period of FIVE days, wherein the final day has two events!!
(I was reminded of Veronika West’s vision of owl’s eyes, hence my featuring on this home-page.)
First, a reminder of the Conclusion to GPS #96.3 How ‘Jigsaw Piece’ on Romans 1 & 2 Plugs into Prophecy-related News:
Thus, we have a double confirmation of the importance of Romans 1 reference to God’s Wrath, as given by Andrew’s prophetic dream and its actual timing which got confirmed 5 days later in Verse of the Day being Romans 11:33 – and we had 5 ‘jigsaw-pieces’!
That proved prescient, if not prophetic.
To recap from GPS#96.1 (Stunned by ‘Invisible Jigsaw’ of Scripture re Prophecies and News) those ‘pieces’ covering a period of 5 days here in the UK, (twice on Wednesday)
As told in the last part (GPS #96.3) 11:33 is not only that verse number but is also the time-point when Andrew Whalen begins speaking about God revealing Himself as Judge and God of Wrath (as discussed here in UK last Saturday week.) …But now this weekend…
YET AGAIN I WAS STUNNED, by this headline regarding FIVE events in FIVE DAYS in USA, viz:
(Click here for to read COMPELLING DETAILS in advert-free, print friendly version.)
ALSO the connection between the two ‘wheels’ of 5-day is something I hadn’t said previously: that is, the reason for Tim Shey’s drawing my attention to Andrew Whalen’s discussion with Steve Shultz on Elijah Streams is his prophetic reference in 2020 to exposing Clinton.
RELEVANT NEWS (In case you may be unaware):

Just finished and published at 17:55 (make of that what you may, but it’s dinner-time !)
PS.
The first part of GPS #96 recounts how I was stunned by the timing of invisible jigsaw-pieces of scripture and events, including a video and timing of a prophetic word therein and its connection into another verse. In closing, I mention already putting more pieces that had fallen into place.
I apologise if thus far has been rather puzzling, but this part will clarify the picture – much like completing a real jigsaw-puzzle. In GPS #96.1 we looked at 5 pieces but maybe not realised how they fit together, and especially into unspecified others.
The third puzzle-piece was Tim Shey’s comment to A ‘Biblical’ Operation, not just national but a global clear-out! about an Elijah Streams interview, to which he gave a link. The title struck me strongly as we’re at the 7th anniversary of my blogging on exposures of political rot as a result of a prophetical prompting on reading about investigations being started into presidential candidate Donald Trump’s finances!
Moreover, that has now come to the boil in Congress over interference in the 2020 presidential election in last week’s posts eg. Overdue Unravelling of Global Cabal’s Conspiracy, followed by this week’s publication of Special Counsel John Durham’s Report into the FBI’s role in the Russia-collusion hoax.
I’m well aware of the preferred practice of bringing prophecy that is encouraging and uplifting, especially so for the church and believers, and Saturday’s group discussion on Paul’s injunction in Romans 2 to avoid judging others who are heavily into sin described in Romans 1. (Yet his caveat is to those believers who still practise those deep sins.)
Nevertheless, I was considering whether or not my blogging stance is correct and of the Lord. But as well as the confirmatory title of puzzle-piece 3 (as shown below) bringing an endorsement of exposures, it also gave specific confirmation of my being on the right track:
Click here to play video in a new window. This fascinating interview begins at 6:00 mins but we’re particularly interested in the ‘God-incidental’ start time at 11:33 (ie. matching Wednesday’s Verse of the Day, Romans 11:33, as in GPS #96.1). Here Andrew refers to having asked the Lord on New Years’ Eve 2020 about the upcoming year.
“That night I did have a dream; it was the morning of January 1st (and in which) I stood before a gathering of Christian believers (and) addressed them saying, “I am so thankful that God has heard my prayer (which was the night before) asking for His word on 2020, for the Lord has given me things that we need to know will BEGIN in 2020.”
So notice it wasn’t “will be fulfilled” but “will begin” in 2020. (In the dream) I looked down in my hands and realised I’d been give a piece of paper…and began to read aloud what was written on the paper. I began by saying, “This list was given me by the Lord in a dream”….
A brief discussion ensues between Steve and Andrew and at 35:00 he continues, “Then I began to read what was given me on the paper but first I said,
“God will begin to reveal Himself in a manner that modern Christianity is not too familiar or comfortable with, for He will begin to show Himself as Judge and the God of Wrath!
Judgements against the works of darkness and those unyielding from their evil are coming!”
That’s what I said in the dream. At this point in the dream I understood that much more would be unfolded to the Church about the nature of The Judge. I also knew that this manifestation of God’s nature was key – and this is interesting to me – His nature as Judge and God of Wrath is KEY to seeing the fullness of Revival and Awakening come into the earth.
I was reminded that scripture says ‘For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, to destroy the works of the devil’, but in the dream I knew that revelation of God’s nature would be employed to destroy the works of the devil. [RB: 1 John 3:8]
Next, I continued to read what was written on the piece of paper in my hand:
A new prophetic era is upon us and the balance of prophecy is going to shift. Much of the emphasis in the prophetic has been positive…I said, “God is always good, but not always positive!…In this new era general and vague prophecies will give way to specific words of revelation that will carry authority to release life AND death – in this prophetic era prophets will restore the terror and the Fear of God back into the earth!!”
Steve reacts, “Wow, restore the Terror and fear of God – that’s not something you read every day!”
CONCLUSION
Thus, we have a double confirmation of the importance of Romans 1 reference to God’s Wrath, as given by Andrew’s prophetic dream and its actual timing which got confirmed 5 days later in Verse of the Day being Romans 11:33 – and we had 5 ‘jigsaw-pieces’!
