Jesus’ End-times parable and Trump’s draining ‘the swamp’

WOW, we’re going ‘full circle’ in 17 years since what I heard about Bible fulfillment upon checking Jesus’ explanation of the wheat and tares parable (first email refers).

In my recent post on Why This Blog Watches American Presidents I state:

2022 – I learn Trump’s personal ‘MAGA’ mission SINCE 2012 is to remove corruption within US politics – ie culling the tares!> So, we’re both on the same page!!’

NOW, last Thursday Derek Johnson alludes to the same parable within this item on RattleTrap1776 Telegram channel seriously questioning events in Ukraine – not to forget the inexplicable missing millions of dollars – as in this extract (emphases mine):

“…What’s the United States of America’s linkage to Ukraine to be the sole-funders and fighters even though there’s zero troops deployed to Ukraine?

The ONLY linkage to the United States of America to Ukraine are the Department of Defense 2004/05 funding of the Biolabs, the 4 Executive Orders and National Emergency declared by Obama in 2014, Biden’s 7 trips in 7 months to Ukraine in 2014, Victoria Nuland’s security of $1 Billion for Ukraine in 2014, the same $1 Billion Biden said would be withheld if a certain prosecutor wasn’t fired (and was fired), Victoria Nuland saying ” **** the European Union” in 2014, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Mitt Romney, and Biden’s children working in Ukraine, making MILLIONS.

Laws and Orders invoked outline a Special Operation via Unconventional Warfare, Irregular Warfare, Clandestine Operations, Covert Operations. 

The Swamp is being drained of the global alliance of bureaucrats, lobbyists and defense contractors as promised.

The 1961 Military Industrial Complex speech is now of the past as the draining of the clowns from the Pentagon and Department of Defense are now gone.

And all Liberals and Democrats are being separated from the Good of the world. The world’s watching the Biblical portion paint itself loud and clear.

All liberals are replicating the chaff with reprobate minds. And now their hell will be living in the world of the wheat doing what’s right and there’s not a thing they can do to stop it…” 

By the way, I’ve inserted an extract from transcribed account of the outrageous media-meeting of president Zelensky with President Trump in the ‘Farago Conference’ section of this post:

Notes on the Lord’s response to attacks on His using President Trump

Personal prophetic relevance of prophetic riddles

SUCH FUN WTH THE LORD…here’s today’s most promising kick-off:

Now to continue from the previous post, which closes:

“…Watch and Pray, I say!

Do not be like the foolish virgins who missed the hour of visitation — but like the wise, trim your wicks and fill your lamps with oil (Matthew 25:1-13— for these will be known as the best and worst of times.

Ha! For many will be in shock and awe at the rise and sudden fall of many kings and rebellious Nations, which will pave the way for My Righteous Remnant of Daniels, Deborahs, Esthers and Davids — who are called and anointed to build and establish My Kingdom Government in a time of great economical and political turmoil and crisis!”

This confirms my disappointment with those who won’t seek the Lord direct and heed Him or his prophets to understand what’s happening today, as though disobeying the Lord’s command to “Occupy ’til I come!”  (Luke 19:!3 KJV)

11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, ‘Occupy till I come’.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us…”

Now a personal prophecy of 16 years ago, as in this extract from post linked below, (published 15.5.2015):

‘Six years ago (2009) Isabel Allum, the well-known teacher of prophecy, discerned it and thereby validated my decision 3 months earlier to write regularly because of an insight on the Bible (The ‘Endgame’ is Now in Play).

Forgive me for being so personal. It’s the first time of publicly sharing this, not to boast but to answer the above kind of question which readers’ may rightly entertain. In part, the prophetic insight Isabel brought us was as follows (with her emphases):

“…And I heard the Lord saying brother, you are a man of wisdom…He’s coming to release a new level of wisdom in you that far surpasses the wisdom of man and He’s going to make you a man of…

“And I heard the Lord say, an impartation like Daniel had is going to come into you and you will start understanding the ‘riddles’ of the Lord in a different way – the gift of interpretation itself as Daniel and Joseph had is going to come to you and God is going to open up your understanding to hear from heaven, not necessarily to understand the way men do but you will see; like Joseph said, interpreting dreams is God’s business not man’s business and dreams from the Lord cannot be interpreted through symbolism or analysis, only through revelation….”

“The clouds of My Justice are rolling in!” – Rachel Emerson

REMINDER (22 January 25):

Now today, as though on-cue (Q = 17th letter of alphabet) this posting pops up by Rachel: 

In prayer today I heard the Lord say—

“The clouds of My Justice are rolling in!” And He gave me scripture, (Psalm 97:2)

“Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.”

The divine justice of the Lord is sweeping across the Land. For session in now in order! The Judge will take the gavel and He will take the staff— and we will see his righteous hand come down! He has not forsaken the righteous, not one day!

“I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” (Psalm 37:25)

Some have been waiting years and the Lord would say this day – “Your wait is no more as the clouds of My Justice roll in, you will rise and shine again!”

“For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him!” (Isaiah 30:18)

I thank God for this word and vision I saw today:

I was in a heavenly courtroom. While in this courtroom I saw lightning come from the Judge’s position as the accuser came to present the case— however, in an instant lightning came from the Judge’s stand, burning the papers of accusation and years of built-up demonic decrees and unholy archives in the room!

What the enemy has tried to hold on to the people for so long, the Lord’s gavel came down and said “Acquitted!”  For HIS Justice is prevailing this hour and divine reversals are preceding! OH, the promises of God will manifest before your very eyes!

Romans 8:33-34 – “Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.”

Colossians 2:14-15 – Jesus cancels the written code (legal accusations) against us, triumphing over the enemy.

Psalm 109:6 – A wicked accuser stands at the right hand of the righteous, but God brings deliverance.

The Lord’s GPS: the warning, two psalms, two epistles

REMINDER: the Lord has His GPS system; that is, Global Prophecy Signaling system, and uses it for making His Invisible Jigsaw.

Today’s morning devotional from Sanctuary continues David Strutt’s wonder at how Holy Spirit led and used him in urgent ministry to a pastor sick in bed that stopped his leading a service.

He was immediately healed and they both went to church, testified to God’s power, which then broke out in the congregation – PRAISE & THANK YOU LORD!

David cites Luke 1 and 4 on the healing of Zacharias and Elizabeth as well as Peter’s feverish mother as being loving gifts from our heavenly father.

So, in reading aloud today’s ‘Moment in His Presence’ I read David’s closing prayer:

“Father, thank you for this promise. I (we) take You at Your word. We declare it is the truth. Our souls, we declare to you, we will seek the Father for the gift of the Holy Spirit’s empowering! Yes, we delight to give lovely things to our children so we believe this when You say this to us, Your children. We ask You again ‘ Would You send Your Holy Spirit  on us, and, please send Him now’. Amen.”

THE WARNING

Next, we broke bread and prepared to arise and have our quiet times, and I recalled yesterday’s warning on a clarion call for national leaders to humble themselves and then I felt led to return to reading the Book of Psalms from the start,

TWO PSALMS

Psalm 1 (NKJV) – note its dread conclusion:

The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly

‘Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he [b]meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the [c]rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

My New Spirit-filled Life Study Bible notes ‘perish’ as in Judges 5:31 in Hebrew ‘abad’ means destroy be destroyed, ruined, loss, fail as in ruination of satanic figures, and is derived from ‘Abaddon’ the demonic prince in Rev 9:11. (Perhaps same as what I’d encountered as ‘devourer’, as told in Searching for Truth leads into captivity under sub-head ‘Reality Revealed’.)

And of course, Psalm 2 on The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom is about the Lord laughing at all the raging nations plotting in vain and His declaring a Decree about His Son and concluding as follows:

‘Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 [i]Kiss the Son, lest [j]He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.’

TWO EPISTLES

It just so happened upon checking my phone soon afterwards I saw a direct message on The Fear of The Lord had been sent about the time of our devotional from one of the moderators of Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival, Paul Marriott, in which he writes (first two emphases are mine):

“Good morning Richard. Blessings to you my brother in Christ. The Lord has been impressing upon me that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the fear of man is a snare.
Then He also gave me: 2 Corinthians 5:9-11 English Standard Version Anglicised 9 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

The Ministry of Reconciliation 11 Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience.

I sense to pray for the fear of the Lord to come heavily upon all sides of the political spectrum. As Paul wrote too in 1 Cor 2 he vowed to know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. –

Here is that scripture in context: 1 Corinthians 2 English Standard Version Anglicised Proclaiming Christ Crucified 2 And I, when I came to you, brothers,[a] did not come proclaiming to you the testimony[b] of God with lofty speech or wisdom. **2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.** 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

PS (16:10) Paul adds, “Since we spoke I have just led a Zoom and it is uncanny how up to date these scriptures seem in the light of recent divisions too:

Matthew 6:6 – New King James Version 6 … you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

2 Timothy 2:1-7 – NIV UK – The appeal renewed 2 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. 7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.

2 Timothy 2:14-19 – NIV UK – Dealing with false teachers 14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarrelling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ‘The Lord knows those who are his,’ and, ‘Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.’

2 Timothy 2:22-26 – NIV UK – 22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

Acts 28:27; 30-31 – NKJV – 27 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.” ’ 30 Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, 31 preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him.”

PPS (16:30) Paul replies: “I love how our thinking and leading dovetailed between yours, Nina’s & my own leading(s) this morning and then the fruit of my afternoon scriptures.”

Update 1: Prophets’ prior perspectives on Zelensky come to pass

REMINDER: extracts from previous post and visitors to my Facebook and Telegram. will have seen many more relevant news items on Zelensky’s ‘faux-pas’ in the White House.

Please note I find this matter distasteful, NOT through what transpired between him and America’s President and Vice-President, but in my disappointment in many Christians having allowed themselves to be fooled in accepting the false narrative of media – even deriding a man the Lord is using – for which He may hold them to account for heeding and acting upon biased agents of the ‘father of lies’.

Excerpt from Julie Green prophecy

President Zelensky of Ukraine, you are a liar and a snake. You cry for help and act like a victim when you are the one helping cause destruction in your own country. Oh yes, the world will hear and find out the truth on who you are, whose side you are on. Obama, yes, helped you and paid you for this to take place. You were well compensated with blood money to cause destruction and chaos on your own people. Your heinous crimes will be known to the world. And Zelenskyy, you are being judged by me and your end is near, and you will not survive the fall you are about to take.” https://www.jgminternational.org/…/i-am-moving-behind…

DIPLOMATIC DISPUTE: on the White House ‘conference’ I noted several observations in the previous post, of which the latter points are shown below and news upon the last soon emerged, as published therein:

  • US is trying to help but now Z throws BIG spanner into works
  • so as Z won’t agree then there’s absolutely NO WAY forward
  • so Z is either clueless on the art of negotiations,
  • or already has and is making his own very deliberate ploy!

STARMER-ZELENSKY PACT

Thank you Irene Banfield for notifying me of details of the UK Government Press Release of 16 January: UK and Ukraine Sign Landmark 100 Year Partnership. Its aim is to deepen security ties and is thus behind the NATO-European meeting they immediately convened after Washington. I note in particular this clause:

‘It also cements the UK as a preferred partner for Ukraine’s energy sector, critical minerals strategy and green steel production.’

Zelensky misled America over ending the war with Russia – as we now know he expects it to continue for years with UK government in tow!! (PS refers)

PROPHECIES PROVEN TRUE

Therefore, my doubt over the real purpose behind Zelensky’s actions being his personal ploy is now proven to be true.

He was disingenuous in discussion with President Trump and Vice-President, thereby making them out to be bad-mannered fools and receive global media opprobrium.

Now the pretentious, dishonesty in devious Zelensky’s character is exposed, then Veronika West’s and Julie Green’s prophecies are proven true!

SO the remainder of what they brought from the Lord on Ukraine, Russia, NATO must also be accurate…

Prophets’ perspectives prior to Zelensky’s faux-pas

A couple of quick screenshots from Facebook by way of updates on recent posts on Ukraine – and yet again a double-dose of my birthday number 22 crops up:

Excerpt from Julie Green prophecy
“President Zelensky is about to step down from his place of power, and not by his choice. The resistance is growing behind the scenes, and things are intensifying for your enemies because they know their days are numbered before the truth comes out and the world will really know what they are hiding and who they really are. No one will escape my judgment who is against me, saith the Lord of Hosts.”

Why this blog watches America’s presidents

In online discussion about current events and President Trump’s character, plus relaying the Lord’s Urgent Warning to the Church Against Hatred (Matt 5:22 and Trump), I was asked why I’m “so zealous” for him.

My interest has arisen from what I’ve learned during my writing ‘assignment’ – and my prophetical background gives a fuller perspective – plus a revelatory ‘authority’ of two occasions of strong Holy Spirit reaction upon my dear wife, and which gets replayed!

So, my interest in Trump is not based solely on what prophets heard from the Lord.

BACKGROUND

Mid-1980s – as recounted in Bio Info’s section ‘Grabbed By An Invisible Hand’, whilst flicking through a book I’d been given as trustee of a New Age group, a documentary on TV uncannily showed a directly relevant event of Iranian and Iraqi elite units rehearsing the storming of Jerusalem!

1989 – months after attending Billy Graham crusade I shut the door to the Gospel but that very night a Visitation from Jesus in person brought an ‘illumination of conscience’ in a near-death experience; recounted in Jesus Freed Me! I began attending Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist), Reading.

1994-5 – Seeking cleansing from that group, I received ministry and acceptance for training in healing and deliverance. Also, I was baptised in the Holy Spirit. Later, I learned about prophecy and received personal prophecies, including on writing.

2001 – During advanced ministry training (incl SRA, satanic ritual abuse) I heard about William Koenig’s news coverage of the Middle-East in World Watch Daily (accredited Christian journalist with the White House press-room).

2005 – Having had two open visions (here and here) I sought advice and attend Revd Dr Sharon Stone’s prophecy masterclass in Bath City Church and her regular meetings.

ASSIGNMENT

2008 – ‘Watching’ began seriously after opening my Bible to check Matthew 13’s parable of wheat and tares only to hear: “This is ALL about to be fulfilled” – WOWEE!!

2009 – So I email friends and follow up Obama’s Middle-East policies, as well as receive a confirmatory ‘Daniel’ prophetic word from Canada’s Isabel Allum. Writing goes public with Richard’s Watch in November 2011. (See New Here?)

2016“LORD are You starting to expose political corruption?” (ie ripening tares) I ask upon reading of investigations into Trump’s finances as the GOP presidential nominee. So, follow closely ‘RussiaGate’ hoax impeachments and ongoing ‘lawfare’ against him. That prophetical query has since proven most affirmative with over 600 updates!!

2016-25 – I note many prophets hear the Lord on America’s politics, especially a friend previously from my Reading church and of which 24 are proven accurate on Trump.

2020 – White House contact explains deep flaws in US elections makes them open to manipulation and fraud; contact with algorithm expert who has to go ‘under the radar’.

2022 – I learn of Trump’s personal ‘MAGA’ mission SINCE 2012 is to remove corruption within US politics: ie. culling Matthew 13 tares! > So, he and I are on the same page!!

2024 – Many other prophets have also been vindicated by US election results.

2020 & 2025 – Nina doesn’t follow news or prophecy, yet can get tangible ‘sizzles’ of the Holy Spirit upon seeing Donald Trump. First, when a friend sent a video clip of him and Melania on the White House balcony at Christmas 2020. Nina got head-to-toe power surges and saw a glory-light surround them.

In January 2025 upon returning home whilst I watched BBC live broadcast from the US Capitol Washington, Nina walked into the room and toward the TV precisely when Donald Trump emerged through curtains in the Rotunda to walk towards podium for his Inauguration as POTUS 47 – a mirror-action and Nina almost fell as Holy Spirit surged rapidly again through her.

NB: by way of confirmation the ‘sizzles’ return whenever Nina talks of what happened!
Note, it also brings the ‘fear’ of the Lord and ‘knowing’ that accusations of his serving evil equate to the unpardonable sin because the Lord is using him.

Moreover, as at the end of this post, whilst telling a friend of both those God-incidents he too got ‘hit’!! Thus, another divine confirmation

Hope this gives an idea of what I believe the Lord is doing in this Biblical battle of good against evil that many prophets are perceiving, and why I’m keen to inform my friends and brothers in the Lord.

VALIDATION

The screenshot below posted this morning on Facebook’s Donald Trump 4 President says it all, as well as confirming the real reason behind his success in exposing and clearing out the demonic deep-state is to fulfill Jesus’ Matthew 13 parable that started my writing on End-times > REMOVAL OF SATANIC SEED SOWN IN JESUS’ FIELD…

“The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40 As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

Exposures Prophecy Update: ‘Mindboggling corruption’ – full clearance of rot in USA!

MIND-BLOWING – not so much a can of worms as HUGE, GLOBAL nest of snakes!

I couldn’t expect back in 2016 that musing upon the Lord exposing rot and corruption deep in political systems, would result 105 months later in the President of the United States commanding FULL FINANCIAL EXPOSURE! WOWEE!!

Most readers will by now know about discoveries of monumental fraud within USAID program.

It’s good to know William Koenig is back in the White House and receive last night’s issue of his Eye-View with extracts as below from Senior Analyst Bill Wilson:

Is Donald Trump’s heart for God’s Kingdom? – part 9: Looking at the ‘fruit’

The past couple of weeks of our inter-church men’s Saturday breakfast Bible study have covered 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22, especially vv 19-20 in view of unfamiliarity with its deep significance (except for yours truly): Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies. 21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.’

Also, events generated debate on our group’s online discussion WApp on whether or not President Trump is a Christian and, if so, asking about consequential fruit. Hence, my pointing out and updating my research into his heart for the Kingdom. I’d presented a ‘first fruit’ and collected a ‘bunch’ of similar and on Thursday intended blogging on it but got diverted into debate of his handling of the Ukraine situation. So, now let’s look at some Christian ‘fruit’ on Donald Trump’s ‘tree’, some of which is also hanging from this blog’s Telegram and on Richard’s Watch Prophecy Validations.

Arising from online discussions on last and this Saturday’s Bible breakfast group on 1 Thessalonians 5, it seemed appropriate to revisit and refresh this site’s hoary pages.

19 Do not quench (suppress or subdue) the [Holy] Spirit;

20 Do not spurn the gifts and utterances of the prophets [do not depreciate prophetic revelations nor despise inspired instruction or exhortation or warning].

21 But test and prove all things [until you can recognize] what is good; [to that] hold fast. (1Thessalonians 5 – Amplified, BibleGateway)

Startling confirmation of Holy Spirit’s move at Trump’s Inauguration

In God-incidental Holy Spirit surge on Trump’s entry for Inauguration I recount the totally unexpected move of God in our lounge that unequivocally proved that He really is involved in blessing that event. Briefly,

There was a MIRROR-IMAGE ACTION ENTRY as my wife Nina came into our lounge walking towards our television at EXACTLY IN TIME WITH Donald Trump walking into the US Capitol Rotunda Arena’s entrance towards the podium over 3,600 miles away!!!  As they do that Holy Spirit falls in power upon Nina > non-stop ZAP!

This can only be because the Inauguration and taking Oath of Office is not only in total accordance with His specific purposes but also His specific appointing of Donald Trump, as in Romans 13.1

UPDATE CONFIRMATION

The following Saturday morning whilst we walked in a local woodland, I asked Nina about the details of what happened on Monday, BUT she immediately had to grab my arm to enable her to stay standing and not fall to the ground! Just recalling what happened fired her up once again with yet another Holy Spirit continual electrical toe-to-head-to-toe tingling, up and down non-stop!!

Thus, we were blessed with an unequivocal strong confirmation of the Lord’s appointing and anointing Donald Trump.

SELAH!

PS (17/2): Not to overlook the evidence of Aaronic anointing, as in scripture:

More scripture relating to Trump assassination attempt – Jonathan Cahn & Veronika West

God-incidental Holy Spirit surge on Trump’s entry for Inauguration – as in UK

Being the start of the week with usual chores and catch-up online, I set our TV recorder to record BBC’s live afternoon coverage of Donald Trump’s inauguration (we’re 5 hours ahead of Washington). There being a church house group that evening, we planned to watch the event’s recording on Tuesday evening >>> BUT GOD!!!

So, Monday afternoon I was here at the pc in the upstairs office and dear Nina out of the house. I went downstairs for a late afternoon cup of tea and decided to switch on the TV in the lounge, then kettle in the kitchen and heard BBC commentators on their coverage of the event. Next, cuppa in hand, I sat to sip on the sofa and stayed glued!

IT JUST SO HAPPENED after they announced Donald Trump’s entry onto the Arena’s stage I heard our front door open and Nina came through the sliding-door behind me into our lounge…

And her being at the opposite end of the room gave her direct sight of Donald Trump entering to thunderous applause at 16:42 (12:42 USA)…

THEN NINA GOT SUCH A GREAT SURGE OF HOLY SPIRIT’S POWER THROUGH HER BODY SHE GRABBED ONTO AN ARMCHAIR TO HELP HER STAY UPRIGHT!!

Immediately, I understand the Holy Spirit here in UK is connecting directly with USA and THEREBY CONFIRMS THE HOLY APPOINTING OF PRESIDENT TRUMP.

So, I messaged Veronika West and her response by return: “HA!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥GLORY”

Also, I alerted our inter-church men’s Bible study group only to be met by unbelief as most Christians in the UK are not yet awakened from mainstream media’s narrative. The difficult ‘discussion’ continued the next day, but when back online last night this confirmation popped up on Facebook:

I comment, “YES YES YES THANK YOU LORD. Confirms my and my wife’s deep surge in our spirits since Holy Spirit struck her during 47’s Inauguration ..”

Rachel comments further:

‘The term forceful in this context emphasizes the decisive, powerful, and undeniable nature of the separation God is bringing. I was surprised to hear this particular word, but nevertheless its what is happening. It conveys that this is not a subtle or gradual shift, but a deliberate and impactful move of God that will make the distinction between the true and the counterfeit unmistakable. Its his sovereign power at work.
There will be of course exposures and removals. A great shaking among the church like never before. His body will shine brightly just like Isaiah 60:1 says. The brilliance of the Lord is is upon her face!’

SELAH!

’22:17′ blog God-incidence and personal news

We now have FOUR God-incidental occurrences of my birthday number this week !!!!

Whatever’s going on?  So, let’s recap briefly on the relevant postings:

  1. Tuesday – two prophetic Warnings to USA…; Tony Puccio comments, I reply and he provides links to his two posts, one of 22 comments and my comment on 22/12 (which includes home address ‘212’ location of dream of the Lord’s visitation)
  2. Wednesday – Double Whammy: Tony’s 2014 dreams and screenshots of two ’22’
  3. Wednesday – upon seeing Battle Fire post on Facebook, item has ’22’ likes.
  4. Tuesday – SURPRISED BY BLOG STATISTICS & TIME-STAMP, as below

Very rarely do I notice the side-bar alongside this blog’s home-page because at the PC I use its administrative desktop for drafting and publishing posts. Editing on my android phone is not easy, therefore it’s used for occasional corrections. It’s better for searching for old posts from the home page. Hence, I hardly ever scroll down the screen with its several latest posts.

However, for some unknown reason I happened to do just that on Tuesday evening, but got so surprised by the numbers displayed I had to take the above screenshot. It shows:

TIME: 22 hours = birthday number > 17 minutes = 17th letter of alphabet = Q (Trump)

STATS: three million, one hundred and eleven thousand, one hundred and eleven views

That is, THREE THREES !

Next week I shall be offline for a few days and beforehand will need to deal with a few personal matters. Therefore, it is unlikely that I will be writing on Richard’s Watch, but it may be possible that some prophecy-related news gets quickly posted on the blog’s Telegram channel.

[LOL, completed draft at 13:11, so for humour’s sake I’m scheduling for 13:22]

New Years’ Day verse, Marked Ones prophecy – “Amos 3:7 Operatives”

Please forgive me for hastiness of this personal ‘journal jotting’ but am starting late in days at 17:22 hours before beginning our usual long weekend…. On 1st January I quickly posted the following on the blog’s Telegram after having read and perused the relevant chapters of scripture. So here it is in sequence:

So I read the full chapter and noted especially 2Cor 5 begins and I contemplated the dichotomy of personal dwellings:

Awaiting the New Body

For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, 3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. 4 For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.

On taking on-board Paul’s thoughts I was reminded of and compared them with John 14:

Next, revisiting what Veronika West published on New Years Eve I was reminded of the sign I’d seen 30 years ago on me whilst worshiping in Tilehurst Free Church :

‘I heard The Spirit say,
“2025 — will mark the beginning of The Rise of The Marked Ones!
Yes! For 2025 will be the beginning of a True and Divine Definition of The Office of the Prophet — and there shall be a Supernatural Manifestation of the Purity of the Prophetic Ministry like never seen before.
For there will be a Rise of the Broken and the Contrite, for the Pure in Heart will not only see Me, but they will carry and demonstrate My Power and Authority as My Servant-Kings on the Earth!”

These rising, shining, Glory Carrying Servant-Kings will arise from obscurity and from the Hidden Places, to take up the Mantle of a new breed of Prophetic Voices that will speak forth Words, that will resonate and reverberate with the heart of The Father in The Nations of the Earth.

The Words in their Mouths will not merely be echoes of the past seasons, or a regurgitation of the old wineskin, but their Words will carry the weight of His Glory upon them, their Words will come forth as powerful declarations that will shift atmospheres and transform lives.

The broken will find healing, the lost will discover their True God-Breathed Identity, and the captives will be set free through the bold proclamations of these yielded and Holy and Chosen Vessels.

In this Next season, the distinguishing true Mark of this new breed of Fire-filled Prophets will be their unwavering humility, their uncompromising convictions for Truth and a deep Love and Compassion.

Ha! They will not seek the limelight or recognition — but instead, they will seek the Audience of the One True God, they will be content to serve in the shadows, lifting and raising up others rather than seeking to elevate and promote themselves.

The purity of their hearts will attract the Manifest Power of The Seven Spirits of God like a magnet, allowing for unprecedented encounters with The Glory.

Signs, Wonders and Miracles will mark and define them, and bring a Holy Distinction to their Ministry and the Supernatural Manifestations that come forth from this new breed of Mighty Reformers, will be rooted in Love and Mercy.

Watch! For God is now raising up a new Kingdom Generation that will move in The Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding that will reflect where true Power and Authority lies — not in the display of human ability and might, but in the gentle touch of His Grace that brings to birth Restoration and Reconciliation within The Nations.

And as the world teeters on the brink of chaos and destruction, these Pure Prophetic Voices will serve as beacons of Light and Radical hope, shining brightly in the ever increasing darkness.

They will call forth the True Identity and Destiny of Nations, and will wear the Mantle of Priesthood interceding with Divine Revelation and discernment even as Daniel did.

Many will come to know the King of Kings through their Holy, transparent and passionate lives, for the true authenticity and Integrity of their walk will draw others to the heart of The Father.

The heavens will open at the Sound of their Voices, and a fresh wave of Divine revelation will pour forth, to unveil and reveal the Hidden mysteries and Secrets of virgin Dimensions of His Glory for such a Time as this.

The True Remnant will no longer be satisfied with surface-level knowledge, but they will thirst for a deeper understanding and a demonstration of the Ways of God.

In this pursuit, they will find themselves standing in awe of His Majesty and Grace.”

Let’s get ready!

Prepare your hearts — for I hear the Sound of Rattling on the Earth and the Roll of Thunder in the Heavens, for His Resurrection Breath — the Winds of Revival — are now beginning to blow, and the ground and the Foundations of Nations, are now being set for a Great Awakening.

Listen! The sound of New Life — New Beginnings — is Rising, and those who rightly align and position themselves in prayer and humility will stand to see and witness the unfolding plans and purposes of Heaven in the Earth realm.

Look! The Birthing of a new Kingdom Era — a new Wineskin of the Prophetic — is upon us, and those who have been faithful in obscurity will suddenly find themselves elevated and accelerated in God’s Kingdom Agenda on the Earth.

Watch! For this is a Kairos Time, a time of greater Preparation and Acceleration, the Birthing of a new Kingdom Age of Divine Manifestation of Revival and Miracles is at hand!

Arise! Shine! And step in with Boldness, Courage and Great Faith! This is the Moment when the New and Ancient come together, when the Kairos and Chronos collide!

Faith and Expectation are Rising for what is about to come forth!

Though the Vision has tarried, behold, I do a new thing! It shall now spring forth!

The Hour of Divine Restoration and Kingdom Reformation is now being Birthed and The Nations of the Earth shall see The Glory of The LORD revealed!

Blessings to you all.’

PERSONAL

Having breakfast and devotional time then finishing all that on Telegram I emerged from our office and this descriptive word got dropped into my spirit after having checked what OT prophet Amos had received.

The Lord is training and graduating those in the prophetic movement to become:

“AMOS 3:7 OPERATIVES!”

“Surely the Lord God does nothing,
Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
8 A lion has roared!
Who will not fear?
The Lord God has spoken!
Who can but prophesy?”

May you be blessed with a Special New Year

May all my readers and visitors be thoroughly blessed in living in this Truth and receiving a fresh baptism in the Holy Spirit:

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 durationhappy, 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 shivvers 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 mid-1950s, we took many holidays ‘im Tyrol’ west of Salzburg, often motoring through there later.

This version by ‘Celtic Woman’ is also sublime…

A New Dawn theme may confirm focus on The Day of the LORD

We continue from Memorable motifs on Mark 13..., which led into The Lord hands out FIVE jigsaw pieces on Daniel 9 with three confirmations on Dan 9:27, then to a footnote on the Bible’s first references to ‘The Day of the LORD’ in Obadiah 15.

Last Sunday evening’s Carols by Candlelight at 3Counties Vineyard was hosted by Helena and Andrew Carter, and to which he’d already announced,

‘We are theming the evening around “A New Dawn”. That the coming of Jesus marks a new dawn for the world and that as we welcome His gift of eternal life and come to Him, we enter a new dawn, a fresh start, a new birth.

This year we are focusing on Malachi 4:2: “But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.”

Andrew begins speaking briefly at 38:30 minutes citing the first two verses of the last chapter of the last book of the Old Testament at Malachi 4 (quotation provides the whole for context, NIV, emphases mine):

“Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. 3 Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.

Thus, the Lord foretells an especially significant time when all evil will be removed from the earth. It will be global, whereas the day He describes to Obadiah specifically relates initially to His dealing with Israel’s enemies, not only in ancient times but also currently :

“The day of the Lord is near for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
your deeds will return upon your own head.
16 Just as you drank on my holy hill,
so all the nations will drink continually;
they will drink and drink and be as if they had never been.
17 But on Mount Zion will be deliverance;
it will be holy, and Jacob will possess his inheritance.
18 Jacob will be a fire and Joseph a flame;
Esau will be stubble, and they will set him on fire and destroy him.
There will be no survivors from Esau.”
The Lord has spoken.

Jesus confirms that prophecy a few centuries later in His parable of the wheat and tares sown by Him and by satan respectively, as explained at Matthew 13:40-43:

As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

All this takes us full circle from 16 years ago when sensing the Lord saying, as recounted in my email The Endgame Is Now In Play:

“This is ALL about to be fulfilled”!

The Lord hands out FIVE ‘jigsaw pieces’ on Daniel 9

“So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not (let the reader understand) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains…” (Mark 13:14 – emphases mine – re Dan 9:27 NKJV)

NO such thing as coincidence! WOTTA-WEEK of God-incidents last week was! And which metaphor better describes it: The Lord’s full hand pointing out certain things, or His dropping them like pieces of His Invisible Jigsaw ??

It’s remained uppermost in mind, as though the Lord began pointing (index finger) at Mark 13’s reference to ‘the abomination of desolation’ in Book of Daniel, then (middle finger) I shared a reference whilst a friend brought a related prophecy, next another published an article, and finally I got the ‘thumb’s up’ from a third friend telling me of currently studying Daniel!

However, as with many previous postings let’s examine these five-fold indicators like jigsaw pieces being dropped and placed into the bigger picture, which we don’t yet see in its entirety:

1st PIECE – 8th Dec:

As reported with Adam Harding Willis’ spectacular sermon notes of Dave Wright in my Memorable Motifs’ on Mark 13, Jesus’ above prophetic statement is cited. At video’s 55:25 time-point Dave notes that Daniel’s prophecy at Dan 9:27 was initially fulfilled in BC168 when Antiochus Epiphanes (‘God manifest’) set up an altar to Zeus in and upon the Temple’s altar and sacrificed a pig thereon, thus desecrating the Almighty’s most holy sanctuary.

For history see Antiochus Epiphanes—The Bible’s Most Notoriously Forgotten Villain – Biblical Archaeology Society NB: Hanukkah (lit.“rededication”) is eight-day festival beginning on 25 Kislev, celebrated the Maccabees’ recapture of the second Temple from the Syrian Greeks, and its rededication, marked by the miraculous kindling of lights on a menorah or chanukiah. Only one small jug of oil was found for fuelling the lights and expected to last just one day – but they burned for EIGHT days!!

As ‘the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy’ (Rev 19:10) then His instruction “So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not, then…” is indubitably prophetic about this sign appearing sometime in the future. Thus, Jesus not only confirms the accuracy of the angel Gabriel’s prophecy to Daniel but also bears witness to its coming true, thereby establishing it according to the principle of Deuteronomy 19:15.

Our church team leader’s message closed by urging us to consider:

2nd PIECE – 9th Dec:

As that question would be discussed in Home Group I took a seminal book The Invisible Hand (1984) on geo-political history of the Holy Land to cite its reference to a later appearance of ‘The Abomination’.

As recounted in Bio Info, the Lord had put this in my hand and validated its content by what was being shown simultaneously on BBC. Its author Victor Dunstan examines the time-scales of Daniel’s prophecies and the ‘Abomination of Desolation’.

He cites Gibbon’s ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ regarding the outcome of the six months’ siege of Jerusalem (636-7 AD) during Muslim attacks against the Christian Byzantine empire and conquest of The Levant. Its Patriarch agreed to surrender on condition he submit to the Caliph Umar in person:

‘After signing the capitulation, he entered the city without fear or precaution; and courteously discoursed with the Patriarch concerning its religious antiquities. Sophronius bowed before his new master and secretly muttered, in the words of Daniel, “The abomination of desolation is in the holy place!”

Three decades later the Islamic shrine and Dome on the Rock mosque was completed upon a wing of the ruins of the Temple Mount. Victor emphases – it still STANDS there!.

3rd PIECE – 11th Dec:

I noticed Veronika West reports a “9th hour” vision experienced on 9th December of America and “Daniel 9, a stitch in time”.

As I’d already started drafting my post on Mark 13 and its reference to Daniel 9, as well as including the “abomination” remarks on Caliph Umar’s from The Invisible Hand, then in sharing Veronika’s post I noted the God-incidence, as shown herein.

Veronika does not refer in any extent on the content of Daniel 9 but we know it’s prime matter is the intense intercession and deep penitence for and confession of his and his people’s sins and rebellion.

He record’s the Lord’s response in sending the angel Gabriel to give him assurance and give him understanding of a the vision of an awesome Seventy ‘Weeks’ to “finish their transgression, make an end of sins, make reconciliation for iniquity, bring everlasting righteousness, seal up the vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy” .

So Veronika’s hearing the Lord, I say again, for this is the Ninth Hour! Yes! Daniel 9 — For a Stitch in time shall save nine!” may well mean His answering intercessory prayers for America!

4th PIECE – 13th Dec:

John Barber, friend and author of Prophets of the Bible, posts in his series on Daniel’s four visions: (Daniel 9) Daniel’s Seventy Weeks

5th PIECE – 14th Dec:

Chatting with Andrew Milne as he prepared food at his and his wife’s party, I asked about his study for Masters in Divinity course and he mentioned reading Daniel and an exegetical exposition on Daniel 9’s prophecy of 70 ‘weeks’!!

We have a similar stance on the Holy Spirit gifting of prophecy and recognise its lack of appreciation by scholars of ‘classical interpretation’ hinders a full understanding.

CONCLUSION

My New Spirit-Filled Life Study Bible’s very helpful footnotes also cite the ‘Classical Interpretation’ of Dan 9:26-7 and close its three paragraphs on that, as follows:

‘The classical approach does not, however, rule out antitype fulfillment of the broader principles in Jesus Christ, in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70, nor in the last days’ rampages of the Antichrist. Daniel’s language is clearly eschatological at points, denoting a multilevel prophetic fulfillment. See note on Obad 15.’

SO, IS THE LORD POINTING TO OBADIAH 15?

‘For the Day of the LORD upon all the nations is near; and as you have done, it shall be done to you; your reprisal shall return upon your own head.’

‘Note: …The word ‘day’ occurs 11 times in vv 8-14. Now it becomes the day of the LORD, a season of judgement and divine justice upon all the nations around Israel. The OT looked ever forward to this time.’ [Emphases as published therein.]

Therefore, has The Day Of The LORD arrived??
