End-Times Briefing 8: Daniel and ‘The Wonderful Numberer’ Jesus Christ

Posted on by

Now we examine one of the sparkling gems, a radiant diamond, found in the treasure trove of Unlocking the Biblical Watch of Messiah’s Return. First a brief recap: 

The Invisible Hand, Victor Dunstan (Megiddo Press 1984)

As at the close of Briefing 7, Victor Dunstan’s reference to three dates, or Time periods of differing length, given in the 12th chapter of Daniel point to 1917, 1948 and 1992, is derived from Dr Grattan Guinness’ mathematical work.  Subsequently, three ‘interlude’ posts tell how Jonathan R Hill has taken that work further in two books. Amongst a veritable plethora of biblical topics and scriptures he examines in-depth the role of ‘The Wonderful Numberer’ – Daniel’s chief supra-natural informant.

In his ‘Introduction’ to Unlocking the Biblical Watch of Messiah’s Return, Jonathan echoes Chuck Missler’s frustration, as quoted in Briefing 5, by noting:

“So many in the Body of Christ are ambivalent towards the Lord’s mandate to watch, but the Lord wants the church to awake! Messiah’s words to the sleeping Peter are the Lord’s words to His living body, who are currently on the earth at the end of this age: “Could you not watch with Me for one hour?” (Matt 26:40 NKJV)

This is followed by, and I’m grateful to Jonathan for his kindly permitting publication (emphases mine): 

‘DANIEL’S VISIONS

‘Daniel was privileged to receive extraordinary visions which were sealed until the ‘time of the end’ when many will run ‘to and fro’ and knowledge will increase. An apt description of our current world when knowledge and data are readily available via the internet.

Daniel 12:4 (NKJV) – “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

‘The prophetic words of the Book of Daniel were sealed until the ‘time of the end’ – confirmed again later in the same chapter (Daniel 12):

Daniel 12:9-10 (NKJV) – And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed ’til the time of the end”. 10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

‘Daniel’s ‘time of the end’ is now.

‘Earlier in the Book of Daniel a ‘when’ question was asked, regarding the desolation of the Temple in Jerusalem. The question was asked to someone called the ‘Wonderful Numberer’ [19]. The questioner (the ‘holy one’) clearly knew that the ‘Wonderful Numberer’ had the answer to the ‘when’ question.

Daniel 8:13 (YLT) – “And I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a certain holy one said to the wonderful numberer who is speaking: ‘Until when [is] the vision of the continual [sacrifice], and of the transgression, an astonishment, to make both sanctuary and host a treading down?’”

‘As will be seen [20], the wisdom of the ‘Wonderful Numberer’, who answered the ‘when’ question, is part of the ‘understanding’ sealed until the ‘time of the end’, when the ‘wise’ will understand. Moreover, the ‘Wonderful Numberer’ will be shown to hold the ‘Key of David’ [21] – the significance of which will be examined in detail [22].’

‘Notes:

‘[19] The Hebrew word for ‘Wonderful Numberer’ in Daniel 8:13 is ‘Palmoni’ (Hebrew ‘לפלמוני’ – Strong’s number 6422) and is only found once in all scripture . It is a ‘contracted’ word and contains the elements of two Hebrew words. The first is ‘pele’ and the other is ‘ma-na’. The Hebrew word ‘pele’ means ‘wonderful’ (see Isaiah 9:6) and the word ‘ma-na’ means ‘numbered’ (see Daniel 5:25-26). So, this contracted Hebrew word ‘Palmoni’ literally means ‘Wonderful Numberer’”. Taken from F.C. Gilbert’s book, Practical Lessons for the Church of Today, pp. 606-608, published by The Review in 1902.

Gill’s Exposition states: ‘another angel said to him that spoke, whose name is unknown, only called such a one, or ‘Palmoni’, which some render ‘the wonderful numberer’ or ‘the numberer of secrets’ or ‘that has all secrets numbered’; and apply it to Christ, whose name is ‘Pele’, wonderful; the eternal Word of God, that is in the bosom of the Father, and knows all secrets, and the number of times and seasons, how long they will last; what created angels know not, he does; and therefore they apply to him for instruction and knowledge in hidden things.

The ‘Wonderful Numberer’ is found in few translations yet many commentaries acknowledge this translation including Albert Barne’s Commentary, John Gill’s Exposition, Geneva Study Bible, Calvin’s Commentary, John Trapp’s Complete Commentary, Matthew Poole’s Annotations, Treasury of Scripture Knowledge and E. W. Bullinger’s Companion Notes. (See StudyLight.org Verse-by-Verse Bible Commentary Daniel 8:13)

‘[20] See chapter ‘Numbers, Triangles and Pyramids in Scripture’ and section ‘The ‘Wonderful Numberer’ as the Seventh Pyramid’.

‘[21] See chapter ‘Tools of the Watch’ and section ‘The Key of David’.

‘[22] See chapter ‘Tools of the Watch’ and section ‘The ‘Wonderful Numberer’ Holds the Key of David’.’  [Isaiah 22:22 << THAT NUMBER AGAIN! – RB]

Daniel 8:13-21 [Scripture For All Interlinear OT Hebrew]

NB: reference at note 19 to Jesus as knowing hidden things, ie ‘mysteries’, per recent post Kingdom Mysteries – Jesus Points to Mathematics (originally posted 6 April 2018).

Amusing ‘musical-jigsaw’ of End-Time Briefings

Posted on by

Can’t avoid chuckling whenever the Lord’s playing a game with me. Mulling over what I think He’s showing me about my End-Times Briefings, I recalled a prophecy given me in 2009 that, “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…”

In returning to the next Briefing (No. 8) I’d thought of bringing its originally drafted ‘end’ to its beginning, thereby wrapping up the previous Briefing on my first ‘jigsaw pieces’. Hoping to schedule the new Briefing for weekend reading, I ‘closed’ it last Thursday with:

“Perhaps the above copy pages will whet your appetite to learn more about watching for Jesus’ Return.” BUT I got nudged to continue: “Last year my wife was touched by the Holy Spirit and heard, “It’s sooner than you think!” (see Back to Bible Basics: Direct Word on Jesus’ Return and Vision of Iran).

LOL! That reference to Iran takes us full-circle back to start of the ‘Invisible Jigsaw’ over 30 years ago, as told in Briefing 7. So I’d thought of making those remarks a postscript. BUT next, the ‘morning-after high’ brought an insight as I checked and tagged pages in Jonathan Hill’s latest book!

Astonished, I found one CONFIRMS the next Briefing’s number, and thus their sequence!

The full content of this series hadn’t been thought out in any depth but simply published as and when possible. In fact, I’d wanted to publish Briefing 8 in its own right over six months ago!

Chronologically from a personal viewpoint, the whole series would have a very different sequence, viz: No. 7, 5, 1, 2, 3, 8+, 6 and with 4 omitted as it was popped in on a whim! So Christopher Wickland’s vision of the Sign in the Sun would come last! However, what Jesus taught should be foundational and thus began this current series of Briefings.

Moreover, it dawned upon me that one cycle of 7 Briefings has been completed, with an intermission for a mathematical preparation for the next cycle. Thus, we’re starting the next octave as though going up a level, somewhat like musical notes: A, B, C, D, E, F, G (see Wikipedia image). Also likewise, this new cycle begins with examining a particular scripture in some depth.

Furthermore, we could regard the two cycles of Briefings like the staves for the bass and treble clefs in musical scores, our ‘interlude’ on mathematics the space in between them! Or better still: this post is the ‘Middle C’, which is the note that hovers between the two staves.

Bringing prophetic pieces together. How many? 8!

Next, we consider that maybe it wasn’t a ‘star’ or astronomical sign that sent ‘wise men from the East’ looking for a baby born in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago, but a rare wisdom and visions bequeathed by the Hebrew prophet Daniel to a school of prophets??

Unlocking the Biblical Watch of Messiah’s Return – Jonathan R. Hill

In our considering principles behind use of numbers and associated basic mathematics in the Bible, my catching up with the following news is timely – I’m pleased to learn that author Jonathan R. Hill is finding his researches also connect into Time!

Here’s the proofreaders’ clear recommendation circulated for Jonathan’s new book:

‘In this new book Jonathan reinforces the straightforward, but profound, mathematical principles of triangular and pyramid numbers and how they help reveal and reinforce wonderful truths in the Bible, using the numerical equivalents for the letters in each word in the original Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible.

‘These principles were initially studied in his first book (on The Sign Miracles of John – RB: as herein) and the results were fascinating, revealing important concepts that are relevant for both the Church and Israel in these end times. They now lay a strong foundation for this ‘Biblical Watch for Messiah’s Return’. These numbers are used in the studies themselves and help us to understand the types involved, and also the time periods that connect the important events that are highlighted.

‘Also included in this book are details of and revelations about the Jubilee Cycle, the important and ‘high’ numbers that there are in Scripture (like ‘120’), the time of day of Christ’s resurrection, the reason Anna had to wait 84 years to see the Messiah, the importance of the Balfour Declaration in 1917, the Armistice in 1918, the World Economic Conference of 1933, the 9/11 attack in 2001, the rescue of the Chilean miners in 2010 and even Brexit!

‘Jonathan also shows how the ‘Key of David’ gives ‘understanding’ in God’s presence and what ‘leaven’ means for the Church today.

‘It truly is a book which explores and explains the concepts that are needed to study, and ‘watch’ for, Messiah’s (Jesus’) return at the Rapture for his Bride, the Church.

‘This book is, in my opinion, the most important Christian book for the Church in the first quarter of this 21st Century.

‘May I encourage you to order a copy (and also the previous one on the Sign Miracles, if you’ve not already got it) and be blessed?

‘Jonathan’s website JR Hill – Books has links to buy both books and also his ‘New Watch Events’ page.

‘I have read both books out loud to Pat (as we have been proof-reading them). We have found that reading them to each other has really helped us both to understand the truths and the concepts they contain, and they truly leave us with hope for the future.

‘We commend this teaching to you.

‘Many blessings’

‘Keith and Pat’

How a New Age follower got hooked into the Bible’s prophecies.

A unique take from die-hard anti-Christian confronted by facts in non-Christian book!

As an ex-unbeliever rescued by Jesus Christ in person and ‘born-again’ by Holy Spirit into life everlasting through His sinless blood, I reiterate Chuck Missler’s concern:

“You may not believe what the Bible says, but what’s utterly astonishing is that so very many claim to believe in Jesus yet have no grasp of the idea Christ is to literally return and rule!”

The aim of these Briefings is to help my readers be better informed and thus grasp that truth. If an ardently anti-church guy deeply involved in New Age teachings, who viewed ‘Bible-bashers’ as bigots, could grasp and keep hold of this mind-blowing stuff, then how much easier is it for believers in Jesus to fully appreciate these things?

So, come on a revelatory journey with me: Continue reading →

End-Times Briefing 6: pastor’s ‘Sign in the Sun’ vision warns of coming global cataclysm!

Those following these Briefings will appreciate the direct relevance of Sign #27 to this video and transcript, for which I’m grateful for Carolyn Stewart’s very helpful expertise and schedule.

On Wednesday 27th May pastor Christopher Wickland posted this alarm or warning on what’s soon to hit the world. (To date, his November 2019 prophecy of a great humbling then spiritual revival of Britain is accurate.) As with all prophecies, please seek the Lord in weighing this vision.

In NKJV, Christopher’s Luke reference is headed ‘The Coming of the Son of Man’:

“Welcome to another thought for the day. Today I have quite a serious message and one which probably many Christians will find a little bit hard to stomach. I will start with this piece of scripture, then I will get straight into it. Continue reading →

End-Times Briefing 5: expert’s excitement – few know this…

Posted on by

This post, one of my first blogs in November 2011, later featured on the Home page to inform visitors of the acceleration of prophetic fulfillment, as may be inferred from the links to confirmatory events two years later:

As you may have gathered from my Welcome, I’m into eschatology – the theological study of the destiny and judgement of nations and all people, even angels!  It’s about  ‘The Last Days’, as in the ancient Torah’s description: Acharit Hayamin, ie. ‘Last of the Years’, and were regarded as the years immediately following Jesus’ ministry.  Nowadays, they’re also known as the ‘End-times’.

So let me take you for a very brief visit into one of my favourite video classes where (the late) Dr Chuck Missler is asking his students, “Why Eschatology?”

“It is very practical”, he answers himself and explains:

“Apparently, we’re being plunged into a period of time about which the Holy Bible says more than any other period – including the time when Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee!

“Now that’s a preposterous statement – and I challenge you to challenge my statement! To do so you need to do two things:

1  Find out what the Bible itself says about this and – this is a bit harder,

2  Find out what’s really going on – but you won’t get that on the ten o’clock news!

“Fortunately, thanks to the internet, the alternative press and to talk-radio you can do some homework and find out what really is going on. The more you do those two things the more you’ll understand why many scholars are extremely excited about the horizon we’re moving into – because it all deals with the return of Christ to rule earth.

“It really is remarkable how controversial this topic is, but there are:

  • over 1800 references in the Old Testament to this event – 17 Old Testament books give prominence to the event.
  • over 300 references in the New Testament – 216 chapters in 23 of its 27 books give prominence to this primary issue: the return of Jesus to rule on earth.

“You may not believe what the Bible says, but what’s utterly astonishing is that so very many claim to believe in Jesus yet have no grasp of the idea Christ is to literally return and rule!”

I respect Chuck for frequently stressing that we shouldn’t take what he says as ‘Gospel’ but always do a ‘Berean check’ per Acts 17:11; that is, to search the scriptures to find out whether or not his ideas line up with them. Also, I admire his public apology for admitting that, having long taught about an anticipated Middle Eastern war from a certain scriptural stance, he’s gained a better understanding from other passages. So Chuck explained why he’d changed his mind.  For more information visit his website at Koinonia House.

This linked article by Nelson Walters brings an informative theological nuance to help in our consideration of the Who, Why, When and What of Watching:

“Watch” is Jesus’ most frequent command for Christians to prepare for the end times. What does “watch” mean? What exactly are we to do when we “watch?” We are beginning a short series on the topic of watching and being watchful in the end times. WATCH AND IMMINENCE I have heard it said by pretribulation…

End-Times Briefing 3: the ‘What?’ of Watching > Signs!

So far we’ve considered the Who, Why and When we’re to watch. Now to the rationale of this blog, as stated in its title’s strap-line, ‘Looking for the signs of Jesus’ return’ and we examine what Jesus told us to look out for:

WHAT?

Omitting those which apply to the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70, here’s a selection of signs stated in the first Gospel (Mark 13), augmented by Matthew (chapter 24) and Luke (chapters 17 & 21) plus insertion of Paul’s first and follow-up letters to believers in Salonika, to whom he stressed the origin of his teaching; ‘For this we say to you by the word of the Lord…’

    1. “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations [‘ethnos’ – people groups], and then the end will come.”
    2. Disciples will stand before and councils, rulers and kings, beaten in religious assemblies: 
    3. Many will come in Jesus’ name, saying, “I am He,” and will deceive many.
    4. Wars and rumors of wars – nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom: “See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet
    5. “And there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven ; All these are the beginnings of sorrows.
    6. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you and you will be hated by nations all for My name’s sake.
    7. “And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another…Brother will betray brother to death – a father his child – children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death and…
    8. “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 
    9. “But he who endures to the end shall be saved.”
    10. “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.” [This refers not only to the Roman standard placed in the Temple’s Holy of Holies but also to profane objects or person therein at any time (including its mount?)]
    11. “…in those days there will be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.
    12. “And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days….
    13. “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it for false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”
    14. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven…’and the dead in Christ will rise first,
    15. ‘then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up [‘harpadzo’ = rapture] together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air…’
    16. ‘You know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety” then sudden destruction comes…’
    17. ‘Let no one deceive you…for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first (Apostasy), and
    18. ‘the man of sin (lawlessness) is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped,
    19. ‘so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God…
    20. ‘The coming of the lawless one is according to the workings of satan with all power, signs and lying wonders, and
    21. ‘with all unrighteous deception among those who perish because they didn’t receive a love of the truth, that they might be saved…
    22. ‘For this reason God will send them strong delusion that they should believe the lie (!!)…’
    23. “As it was in the days of Noah, so also in the days of the Son of Man: “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.”
    24. “Likewise as it was in the days of Lot…on the day Lot left Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
    25. “In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. Remember Lot’s wife: Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.
    26. “I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”
    27. “After that tribulation, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light. (“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars…of heaven will fall and the powers of the heavens be shaken”)
    28. “and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
    29.  “men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth...
    30. “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 
    31. “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
    32. “Then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.” [The Rapture]

Jesus said, “Take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.

Details from The Apocalypse, the book recording ‘the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants’ penned by His apostle John, will follow later.

IS THE END NIGH?

Not necessarily! I’m not of the alarmist brigade because, in my humble opinion, Jesus is coming back for a bride who’s ‘made herself ready’, which I understand to be a church that has been restored to move fully in the ‘greater works’ – one that has arisen with the glory of the Lord appearing over her and piercing the ‘thick darkness covering the peoples’ (see Revelation 19.7, Acts 3.21, John 14.12 and Isaiah 60.1-2). YET, it may be just over the horizon!

There’s clear indications this preparation is already happening through many ministries. Jesus did say, “I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16.18).

On praying to our Heavenly Father, He instructed us to petition, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…” (Matt 6:10).

The Lord’s Kingdom rule has yet to come in its fullness so, in my opinion, a reworking – even a significant sifting or pruning – may be necessary as the Lord finishes building his Church and believers make themselves ready for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Next, we’ll briefly consider theological nuances of the meaning of ‘watching’…

End-Times Briefing 2: the ‘When?’ of Watching > NOW!

Posted on by

Continuing the reasons for watching for the End-times, we consider when that might happen:

WHEN?

Jesus’ major End-time teaching was given soon after leaving the Temple with some of His disciples and having foretold its complete destruction, which was to happen about 40 years later after the infamous Roman siege of Jerusalem.

Jesus on the Mount of Olives:

When He went and sat on the nearby Mount of Olives, two sets of brothers (Peter & Andrew, James & John) asked Him to expand upon that prophecy, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?” (seee Mark 13, Luke 21, Matthew 24).

He answered in some depth, and by examination of the details we can conclude that not only does Jesus describe later events in that First Century but also those of a much later time, one yet to come but which is now at the door!  So Jesus did, but didn’t, tell them precisely ‘when’!

In talking of that far future time however, He tells them a parable about the appearing of leaves on a fig tree – which many believe refers to the establishment of the Jewish state of Israel.:

“So you also, when you see these things happening, know that it (or ‘He’) is near – at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place..But of that day and hour no-one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is…Watch therefore…I say to all: Watch!” (Mark 13:28-37 NKJV emphasis mine)

Other passages of the New Testament imply that He, or Holy Spirit, subsequently gave those leading disciples, and Saul of Tarsus who became Apostle Paul, further insights on the approximate timing of those signs, as below:

Peter preaching in the Temple:

After Jesus’ Ascension into heaven Peter, when teaching in the Temple, called people  to,

“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of His holy prophets since time began…” (Acts 3:19-21 – my emphasis.)

So there’s a huge contribution followers of Christ have yet to make across all spheres of society towards such restoration – we’ve hardly started; not to mention both human and demonic opposition – but however do we restore ‘all things’?  We must conclude that only The Almighty is able to bring about the ‘restoration of ‘all things’ – and doubtless in the manner Zecharia prophesied to governor Zerubbabel:

“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit”, says the Lord of hosts. (Zech 4:6 NKJV)

Although we need to beware of false prophets, Acts 3:21 implies that the Lord will keep His prophets informed of His intentions in bringing this about (Amos 3:7). Hence the important relevance of contemporary prophecy.

Paul writing to the Thessalonians:

We know from Acts and accounts in Paul’s Epistles that this Apostle to the Gentiles was blessed with visions of and revelations from Jesus Himself as, for example, in the main scripture quoted by ‘pre-Tribbers’:

‘For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.
‘For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.’ (1Thess 4:15-17 NKJV)

‘But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.’ (1Thess 5:1-5 NKJV – emphases added)

Maybe it’s as well the Palestinian leaders have been defiantly intransigent over the so-called ‘peace plan’ with Israel and, like Iran and Hezbollah, want to wipe Israel off the face of the map!  Even so, let’s keep watching!

NB: the theme of UN’s Year 2017-18 is ‘Together for Peace, Dignity, Safety  & Respect For All’, as outlined in Three Prophetic Jigsaw Pieces.

Next, we include Paul’s later explanation so click 3 below for what we’re watching for…

End-Times Briefing 1: the ‘Who?’ and ‘Why?’ of Watching

Posted on by

In view of current events it’s time to reconsider the End-times foretold in the Holy Bible with a series of brief overviews, followed by others’ recent insights.

First, we revisit the mini-series published in February 2018 and lodged in the main menu for reference purposes. It was preceded by a couple of re-blogs referring to one of eight possible eschatological scenarios – a pre-Tribulation Rapture – and, together with a theological blog’s discussion, I was prompted to expand upon one of this blog’s earliest entries – ‘Why Watch?’

Now, let’s consider the ‘Who, Why, When and What’ of our watching:

WHO?

You, me and everyone, especially those who believe in and follow Jesus Christ – HE is the WHO and thus the basic reason we should be watching. If you’re not familiar with His life, ministry and status, or with the fact we can be in a close, loving relationship with Him, then dip into this blog’s brief outline at Do You Know Jesus?

WHY?

For me, a totally unexpected and very spectacular, life-changing event in 1989 made watching very personal and connected into relevant, directive scripture. Then in 2008, wanting to check Jesus’ parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13, I opened my Bible and IT EXPLODED! and I heard

“This is ALL about to be fulfilled!”

Thus impelled in February 2009 I began emailing friends and church leaders on current events and prophecy with The Endgame Is Now In Play, wherein I wrote:
‘Jesus urged His disciples to look out for and observe signs of the times. Regarding their questions about His return at the end of this Age, the earliest Gospel account has Jesus stressing 7 times, “Watch…be alert…on your guard“ (Mark 13). Matthew 24 reports Jesus saying 4 times, “Watch…and when you see…” followed by the parables of the burglar (Jesus coming “like a thief in the night”) and of the virgins > “Don’t be caught napping!” [Is the Church still asleep?] Luke’s account has, “Be always on the watch…” (Luke 21:36 and chapter 12 (NIV) has sections on watchfulness and interpreting the times. In each Gospel Jesus commands, “Learn the lesson of the fig tree…”. Also, the Apostles went on to give more indicators (Acts 3:20-1, Hebrews 12:26-7, 2 Peter 3, 2 Timothy 3 and the first and second letters to the Thessalonians).’

It’s claimed that for every OT prophecy about Jesus Christ’s birth and life there’s seven to eight times as many about His eventual return or ‘Parousia’, also called ‘The Second Advent’ or ‘Second Coming’. I’m of the opinion the likelihood of that event in our lifetime is rapidly increasing !

Jesus stressed the great importance of His return. Eg, His instruction to the four who’d been with Him from the outset of His mission is given at Mark 13:33-37 (NKJV):

“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.

“Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming – in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning – lest, coming suddenly, he finds you sleeping! And what I say to you, I say to all, ‘Watch!’.”

That’s why I’m watching and, believer or not, you too are included, as is implicit in Jesus’ admonition: “I say to ALL…“

So, watching for Him is and always has been THE ‘inclusive’ activity – and one with divine warrant!

How Can We Be Sure?

You may object and say, “But even if that’s an accurate quotation it’s only guesswork”. That is, prophecies don’t always come to pass. In answer and in synopsis only, I offer the following key to foretelling the future.:

We’re privileged to learn what Almighty God has decided is to happen. He shared his plans with a select number of ancient sages, or prophets, over a long period that started 29 centuries ago, and several centuries before Christ. Amidst extensive instructions He told the prophet Isaiah:

“For I am God and there is no other, I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand and I shall do all My pleasure’…” (Isaiah 46:9-10 NKJV)

In fact, some years before Isaiah the first of the ‘writing prophets’ had received a distinct word about God’s intention to divulge His plans. This is recorded in Amos’ scroll at the seventh verse of the third chapter (in modern notation):

“Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.”

Next, we learn when we’re to be watching for whatever’s coming, so click 2 below…

Follow The Cloud – Tony Puccio

Posted on by

“I’ve seen this vision for a while now so I am going to post it.

“Imagine, if you will, a church building that had been destroyed and this will show what I saw in the vision. The church lay in ruins, no roof overhead, walls crumbled, but some pews remained intact. I saw people there and at first glance one would want to commend them for their faithfulness.

“However, what I saw next changed my perspective…

“I saw a cloud moving away from the destroyed church building. There were a few, and let me re-emphasize, a few saw the cloud and left, while the majority stayed in the destroyed church building. I saw nothing else around, ie, new church buildings.

“It was just the people who had chosen to follow the cloud wherever it was leading.  The Israelites followed the cloud. When it moved, they moved. When it rested, they rested. Like the church building in my vision those refusing to follow the cloud would be left basically in the desert to fend for themselves. Following the cloud is imperative in these last days as we are headed into uncharted territory. Those in the destroyed church building, although the cloud was no longer there, stayed because it was a place they were familiar with.

“The cloud represents a walk of faith, a giving-up the familiar and yielding to the unfamiliar. To not follow the cloud is to be in rebellion, face famine of hearing God’s Word, His presence.

“This vision started when I heard the Lord speak to my spirit saying the cloud is moving.”

Tony Puccio, 3rd June 2020, My Dreams and Visions

I comment as follows on his blog: “Obviously Tony this is the next part of your unfolding visions that I was blessed to cover a few weeks ago in connection with other ‘GPS’ from the Lord (A Directive: Urgent Word For The Global Church – GPS#47.4).
To my understanding, this fits with part of the directive pastor Thomas Harry of Falkirk, Scotland, received. Under section ‘Unprecedented Signs & Wonders’ he writes,
‘Christianity as we have known it and church as we have known it is over. God has saved His best for last and we will be unrecognisable in both our identity and how we operate’.”

Tony replies: “To quote prophet Daniel, ‘those who know their God will do exploits’.”

A Habbakuk-type Oracle – Neil Mackereth

Posted on by

Further to the previous posted yesterday on two prophecies that were published Friday and Saturday, Neil Mackereth was urged to email but apologised for doing so on a Saturday; “However, I have noted of late that the speed of events is such that delay is not appropriate!”  I’m copying his message as received from Neil (he doesn’t usually use bold typeface):

AN ORACLE

A week ago, in a time of meditation, the Lord spoke to me:

Consider the expression: “Hope springs eternal” and read it as: “Hope spring’s eternal” – in the sense that “hope” is expectation (as in “our hope is in Jesus” i.e. Faith). Have faith that what will happen this Spring will have eternal significance.

On pondering this I was led to Habakkuk and saw certain similarities with our present situation:

How long, O Lord, will the outrageous, demonic and exceedingly unwholesome agendas of the wicked succeed and prosper?

 “Look at the Nations and watch – and be utterly amazed”

All the negotiations of men are being overtaken by the onslaught of Covid-19. Just as Habakkuk watched for the Babylonian invasion of Israel, so we are to watch the advancing Covid-19, and seek to understand the spiritual significance of this assault on an ill-prepared (unrighteous) world.

This virus scoffs at men whose strength and pride is in their wealth, intellect or fame; ignores frontiers, fortifications and weapons of war, and laughs at our unwillingness to cry out to the Lord.

“If My people who are called by My Name …. “ (2 Chronicles 7:14)

During the week I felt called to:

Meditate on the horrendous, unspeakable and utterly unjust treatment of My Son, that led to His crucifixion and death. Then remember that His barbaric mistreatment was an absolutely necessary forerunner to His resurrection and your salvation. So, too, are the troubles now coming on the earth an absolutely necessary forerunner to the return of Jesus and the fulfillment of My plan for the redemption of the world.

Something utterly amazing is going to happen this Spring.

Leisa Ebere: global preparation-time

Posted on by

Again we consider the imminent manifestation of the harvest of the wheat and tares, with its direct relevance to my calling to write on End-times (as herein), as well as our taking a Stand upon the Rock of Christ emerging in Britain (2004 open vision).  Revival? Not yet!

As for all prophetical postings, this is to be weighed with the Lord and against His Word.

Leisa’s email arrived soon after booting up my pc today, and wherein she writes:  ‘Early this morning, the Lord gave me clarification in regards to the international issues that are presently challenging the Earth, and I wanted to share His Words with you and the readers:

THE GLOBAL PREPARATION-TIME PROPHECY

given to Leisa Ebere on 27/02/20

“Pride goes before destruction,” says the Lord, “and I am allowing a scattering of seeds of disease and calamity to come upon the proud and the haughty, across the nations of the earth who torment and scoff at the innocent and those that call upon My Name. For my Sovereign Hand shall bring protection to My Faithful Ones, and shall block the actions of the evil one as I sweep many of this wicked generation away in this next season. For the 2020’s shall not be a global outpouring of My Spirit, as many suppose, but rather a clearing out of evil and a making room for the positioning of My Remnant, with lightening bursts of My Spirit reflecting My Power released to those who want to serve me with their whole hearts. I am sifting the wheat from the chaff,” says the Lord, “and it is time to stand up and be counted in these last days, and become ready for the harvest. I have released angels with mighty sickles and they are digging deep into the Earth. For the time of preparation is at hand,” says The Lord of Hosts. “Heed My Voice!”

Blessings, Leisa Ebere

Through the looking glass: hidden prophecy and the Sign of Jonah — Real Christianity

Posted on by

It is especially encouraging that my writing has inspired one of my American friends, RJ Dawson, to republish his article on the historic mistakes of some Twentieth Century US eschatologists (or ‘escapologists’ – my term for Rapture-ites). RJ comments as follows upon my post of the PM’s speech reflecting Veronika West’s vision of Britain and I’d encourage you to take time to read his original item too and discussion therein:

“Thanks Richard. I’ve been catching up on your site and reading several of your latest posts. I read the full versions of your two posts on the State of the Prophetic. You have gathered quite an extensive collection and it is impressive. I continued through the previous articles. I had read the post about Veronika’s vision earlier in the day along with the comments and thought it was most interesting. It led me to a post I wrote two years ago (1/29/18) which you commented upon and reblogged on your site. It is entitled THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: HIDDEN PROPHECY AND THE SIGN OF JONAH. It is interesting as well that you made mention of prophetic happenings of the last two years.

“I decided to post my article again. Rather than reblog it, I wrote a new one page introduction containing a link to the article at bottom and just now posted it.

“I think you and your readers may like to read this post again in light of current events and compare notes over the subsequent happenings since that time. We live in a new era on so many fronts. I have been blessed to see many astounding spiritual events in my time after joining up with the Lord in 1976. It often takes a long range perspective to properly parse out and analyze spiritual history in order to gain a correct perspective, along with massive amounts of research on many subjects. It is in part why the Lord requires elders.

“Incidentally, to go along with your extensive research, I have recently been reading once again about the latter day Holy Spirit outpouring in America which began in Topeka, Kansas in 1901, moved through Houston, Texas, and then broke forth in Los Angeles in the world-changing Asuza Street Revival which began in 1906 and continued for about three years.

“I’m including the link to my article here for your perusal. Thank you, Richard. Blessings to you, and keep up the great work.”

Dear Readers: Due to several cataclysmic events of “Biblical Proportions” taking place throughout the world at present, and the UK’s recent Brexit from the EU, many Christians are of a mind that we are in the last of the “last days.” The evidence is unconvincing, however, and by itself is nothing more than an […]

After learning about a ‘chiasmus’ in the Book of Jonah during Sunday’s service, it’s note-worthy how Mark Davidson explains this literary-spiritual device within certain prophetic passages on current events in the Middle-East…

While we are waiting for the next significant news item from Iran and the Middle East, it seemed good to have a review of the Scripture passages all having a say in the Second Signpost. This is meant to remind us that the Second Signpost, the invasion by Iran of the Middle East, is more […]

Veronika West: NEW E-R-A = Expect Radical Advancement

Posted on by

LOVE this word as it directly relates to my hearing “This is ALL about to be fulfilled!” upon opening my Bible to check the wheat and tares parable and which kick-started my writing on End-times 11 years ago, as told in The Endgame is now in play.:

NEW E•R•A….”EXPECT•RADICAL•ADVANCEMENT OF MY KINGDOM PURPOSES IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”..says God

Today while worshipping the King of Glory I heard the Spirit say this…

”DAUGHTER IN THIS NEW ERA THERE SHALL BE A GREATER OUTPOURING OF MY GLORY WHICH WILL BRING ABOUT A DIVINE DISTINCTION WITHIN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, WATCH! AS A GREAT SEPARATION WILL TAKE PLACE, WHEAT AND CHAFF SHALL BE SIFTED AS MY KINGDOM ADVANCES WITH GREATER ACCELERATION AND MOMENTUM IN THE DAYS AHEAD, FOR SURELY I TELL YOU THIS NEW ERA SHALL TURN THE NATIONS UPSIDE-DOWN AND INSIDE-OUT…”, as I heard those words I saw the letters E•R•A and I heard the Spirit say, “ERA… EXPECT•RADICAL•ADVANCEMENT OF MY KINGDOM PURPOSES IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”…

Then I heard the sound of the letter ‘E’ and then the Spirit of Revelation spoke to me saying, “MY ECCLESIA SHALL ARISE AND SHINE WITH GREATER EXPECTATION WHICH WILL BRING TO BIRTH EVEN GREATER MANIFESTATIONS OF MIRACLES, SIGNS AND WONDERS…WATCH AND PRAY MY BELOVED!…FOR THIS WILL BE AN ERA OF THE EXTREME, THE EXTRAORDINARY AND EVEN GREATER EXPLOITS, MY KINGDOM SHALL EXPAND AND INCREASE, MANY SHALL RECEIVE SUPERNATURAL ELEVATION, DIVINE EXCHANGES AND DEEPER ENCOUNTERS WITH MY GLORY. HA! GET READY…FOR GREATER DEMONIC EXPOSURES WILL BE SEEN BOTH IN MY HOUSE AND THE HOUSES OF GOVERNMENT, SUDDEN AND SEVERE EARTHQUAKES AND ERUPTIONS BOTH SPIRITUALLY AND NATURALLY…SHALL TAKE PLACE THAT WILL SHAKE AND SHIFT THE NATIONS AND BRING MANY TO THEIR KNEES…”,

Then I heard the sound of the letter ‘R’ echo in the realm of the Spirit, and I heard these words, “REPENTANCE AND THE RETURNING OF THE PRODIGALS, RESTORATION, RECOMPENSE AND KINGDOM REFORMATION SHALL BE SEEN, EVEN GREATER REVELATION AND VISION SHALL BE RELEASED TO THE SURRENDERED ONES, GREATER RICHES AND WEALTH TRANSFER SHALL BREAK THE STRANGLEHOLD OF LACK AND A POVERTY MINDSET. WATCH! BELOVED AS A MIGHTY REMNANT WILL RISE IN RADICAL OBEDIENCE AND SACRIFICE PREPARED AND EMPOWERED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS, WATCH AND STAY VIGILANT IN THIS HOUR…AS DIVINE RETRIBUTION AND THE RULE AND REIGN OF MY RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENTS AND JUSTICE IS EXECUTED IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, BUT! FEAR NOT AS REFORMATION AND REVIVAL SPRINGS FORTH AND DIVINE REVERSALS AND SEVEN-FOLD RESTITUTION COMES TO THOSE WHO WALK UPRIGHTLY….”,

Then I saw the letter ‘A’ in the realm of the Spirit and the Spirit of Lord said, “LISTEN! FOR THE SOUND OF MY TRUMPET HERALDS A GREAT AWAKENING IN THE EARTH AS MY END-TIME ARMY ARISES WITH GREATER APOSTOLIC AND PROPHETIC POWER AND AUTHORITY TO SHIFT AND RESHAPE MANY NATIONS, SEE! FOR A DIVINE ACCELERATION WILL BE UPON THE LIPS OF MY PEOPLE AS I TAKE THEM HIGHER AND DEEPER, DAUGHTER…WATCH! AS THE SECRET PLACE BECOMES AN EVEN THINNER PLACE AS MANY WILL BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE GREATER ANGELIC VISITATIONS, AND IN AWE THEIR MOUTHS SHALL BE OPENED WIDE I SHALL FILL THEM WITH ROYAL ANNOUNCEMENTS AND DECREES THAT WILL CARRY THE WEIGHT OF MY GLORY UPON THEM. EVEN NOW THERE IS A HOLY HUNGERING AND THIRSTING THAT IS INVADING THE ATMOSPHERE CREATING A TIPPING POINT FOR GREATER BREAKTHROUGH, SET-BACKS SHALL BECOME DIVINE SET-UPS, A LAUNCHING-PAD TO EVEN GREATER KINGDOM ADVENTURES AND NEW DISCOVERIES IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT. YES! MY HAND NOW MOVES TO BRING FORTH DIVINE CONNECTIONS AND STRATEGIC APPOINTMENTS FOR A GREATER KINGDOM ADVANCEMENT IS NOW TAKING PLACE IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”…!

WHO SHALL STOP MY ANGEL ARMIES? – IRAN? IRAQ? RUSSIA? NORTH KOREA?….HA!! NO, NONE SHALL STOP WHAT I HAVE DECREED, FOR THESE NATIONS ARE BUT A GRAIN OF SAND IN MY HAND..”, says God

AMERICA; I hear the Spirit say,

“BREAKING NEWS BREAKING NEWS CONCERNING THE MIDDLE-EASTERN NATIONS WILL DOMINATE THE AIRWAVES IN THE DAYS TO COME…AS THE POWERS OF THE BEAST FROM THE EAST ARE BEING DISMANTLED AND DESTROYED, LISTEN AND STAY VIGILANT…FOR THE SOUND OF WAR DRUMS CAN BE HEARD IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT, A SOUND OF THE ANGEL ARMIES MARCHING ACROSS THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, THE SOUND OF THE HOOVES OF MY HORSES OF WAR WILL CAUSE THE LAND TO BE SHAKEN TO ITS CORE, A SUPERNATURAL SHAKING AND QUAKING WILL TAKE PLACE AS MY GOVERNING HAND REALIGNS, REDIRECTS AND REORDERS THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”, says God.

“BUT FEAR NOT MY RIGHTEOUS REMNANT! FOR IN THIS THE 11th HOUR AS THE SPIRIT OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION PASSES OVER THE NATIONS SO YOU WILL BE HIDDEN AND PRESERVED FOR THE DAY OF MY RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE HAS NOW COME TO THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH.

“WHO SHALL STOP MY ANGEL ARMIES? – IRAN? IRAQ? RUSSIA? NORTH KOREA?….

“HA!! NO, NONE SHALL STOP WHAT I HAVE DECREED, FOR THESE NATIONS ARE BUT A GRAIN OF SAND IN MY HAND..AND SO I LAUGH IN THE HEAVENS AT THEIR FRAILTY AND THEIR LACK OF THE FEAR OF THE LIVING GOD, AND SO THEY WILL CONTINUE TO PLAN AND PLOT THE DESTRUCTION OF MY CHOSEN PEOPLE…BUT WATCH! WITH JUST ONE BREATH FROM MY NOSTRILS I SHALL WIPE THEM OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH…WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE…?ARE THEY NOT CREATED BEINGS BY MY OWN MAKING? FOR IT IS I, THE GREAT I AM, THAT HOLDS THE DESTINY OF NATIONS IN THE VERY PALM OF MY HAND…I SHALL NOT BE MOCKED BUT I SHALL MOVE WITH GREAT MOMENTUM IN THESE LAST DAYS FOR MY FINGER IS NOW UPON THE HANDS OF THE CLOCK, TIME, TIME AN ACCELERATION OF TIME HAS NOW COME TO EARTH’S CLOCK…BELOVED WATCH AND PRAY….FOR EVEN AS MY LEFT HAND OF JUDGEMENT AND RETRIBUTION HAS TAKEN HOLD OF THE NATIONS OF THE MIDDLE EAST SO NOW MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND IS TAKING HOLD OF PRESIDENT TRUMP AND LIKE A RED HOT POKER HE WILL BE USED TO PROD AND PROVOKE UNGODLY AND REBELLIOUS NATIONS TO AN APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION, BUT FEAR NOT FOR MY SWORD COMES NOT TO BRING PEACE BUT TO BRING WAR, YES! LIKE A SICKLE MY SWORD COMES TO SEPARATE THE SHEEP AND GOAT NATIONS, WATCH! FOR NOW THE NATIONS ARE COMING INTO PERFECT ALIGNMENT WITH THE END-TIME PLANS AND PURPOSES OF MY KINGDOM IN THE EARTH”.., says God.

Bible Update: Red flag flies over Mahdi’s mosque: Apocalypse’s 2nd horseman may now have its sword!

Posted on by

ESSENTIAL READING: Mark Davidson brings what may be the most important insight you may read on the immediate aftermath of America taking decisive, defensive action against a regime that is actually hell-bent on bringing about the End of the World, as covered here on Richard’s Watch in many postings under the Mahdi tag.

It’s absolutely imperative ALL Christians – especially those in leadership – know about the eschatalogical impulse behind the Iranians engineering such a conflict in order to bring about the return of Shi’ite Islam’s 12th ‘hidden imam’, followed en-train by Jesus!!

For a fuller grasp of this dangerous doctrine browse through the above tag, starting with my blog of nearly 7 years ago Iranian Leader’s End-Times Declaration.

I never thought I would be writing an article like this, for I had never thought one single event could equate to the second horseman being made ready to make men slay one another. There are reports from Twitter and, at this point, only British tabloids such as the Express, Metro, and Sun, that something […]

Historic timing of three ‘Books of Destiny’ posting, the ECJ’s ruling against Israel and America’s policy on settlements

Posted on by
13

Upon awaking this morning I was immediately grabbed by the deep significance of the timing over Monday-Tuesday, 11-12th Nov, of two publications reported on this blog:

  1. Veronika West’s posting of a vision and word of about the inter-related destinies of the United Kingdom, the United States of America and of Israel.
  2. The European Court of Justice’s decision that all member states of the EU are now required by law to label goods of Israeli origin coming from the West Bank.

As indicated within the ECJ’s publication, and summarised by Caroline Glick, that final official ruling was the culmination of a lengthy sequence of legal proceedings.

That is, the day before the ECJ publishes it’s anti-Israel declaration, attracting Genesis 12:3 penalty against Europe, Veronika publishes that mighty vision for the three nations that will receive the holy blessing promised in Gen 12:3.

I believe only the Living Lord God could have arranged such synchronicity between an unholy legislative earthly event and an exceptional Holy Spirit sign!

MOREOVER, Veronika introduced the vision by saying,

“I have sat on this Vision for just under a week as it has challenged much of my own understanding of end-time theology concerning these Nations but dare I say I felt the Spirit of God say, “OBEDIENCE IS ALL I REQUIRE OF YOU”, hence why I am posting this word/vision at this time, as I believe it is a ‘NOW’ WORD.” (Emphases added)

One of my readers asked me what’s Veronika’s ‘understanding’. I replied that he check with her but he found on her Facebook thread someone had already done so, to which she replies (as of my own mind too – again underlining is mine),

“In a nutshell my friend it’s a TIMING THING CONCERNING ENDTIME EVENTS”.

On the 7th day (18th Nov), which Caroline Glick reckons “will long be remembered as a turning point in Middle East history”, the US Secretary of State issues a statement to the press on a major about-face in the American government’s policy on Israel’s settlements in the West Bank.

He thereby fully refutes and rebutts the legitimacy of not only the EU’s anti-Israel stance but also that of President Obama’s anti-Israel obsession!

In his Remarks To The Press Secretary Mike Pompeo covers many areas of foreign affairs, including Iran and Iraq, but this is the vital part of historic moment:
