CLEAR HINT AT ROOT CAUSE OF TRUMP’S DISDAIN FOR STARMER BRINGING SHAME UPON BRITAIN
Extract: ‘… Williams is not alone in sounding the alarm about Britain’s hollowed-out defence capability. Last week, Lord Robertson, who had returned to write the current Labour Government’s 2025 SDR, launched a blistering attack on Keir Starmer’s failure to match rhetoric on defence with action on spending. Sir John Major, the former Conservative prime minister, backed Robertson, warning that “defence cannot be an optional expenditure”.

Starmer’s response, politely disagreeing with Robertson and repeating the traditional line that “our Armed Forces are the best in the world”, provoked Williams to accuse the prime minister, in Trumpian uppercase, of a “BRIGHT SHINING (and DANGEROUS) LIE”… ‘

‘Labour MPs have demanded Sir Keir Starmer refer himself to the privileges committee over the Mandelson scandal.

Backbenchers have said that despite pressure from No 10, they will not vote to protect the Prime Minister from an ethics inquiry over claims he misled MPs.

The crunch vote is seen as a vote of confidence in Sir Keir’s leadership, after the Prime Minister held a meeting with MPs on Monday urging them to back him.

John McDonnell, the former shadow chancellor under Jeremy Corbyn, said Sir Keir should refer himself to the committee to clear his name. “When you’re under attack like this you don’t run from the attack, you run to face it,” he told the Commons.

Andy McDonald agreed, adding that the Prime Minister had made it clear “he has not misled this House. So in those circumstances, would it not be the right thing to do to embrace this process and wipe the floor with the critics that put these things to him?”

Nadia Whittome, the Labour MP for South Shields who is a fierce critic of Sir Keir’s, went further and said she would vote to refer him to the committee. The Telegraph understands another Labour MP on the Left of the party is also minded to abstain.

The revolt currently appears to be confined to MPs who are known critics of the Prime Minister.

5:17pm – Suspended Labour MP tells Starmer to ‘face the music’

Sir Keir Starmer should “face the music” and agree to an ethics committee investigation over whether he misled Parliament about the Mandelson scandal, a suspended Labour MP said.

Karl Turner, who lost the whip last month, told LBC he did not believe the Prime Minister had “deliberately misled” MPs, but may have inadvertently misled the House.

“If you’ve nothing to hide, face the music. Give your evidence. Prove that you’ve not done what’s suggested of you.”

He added: “I believe that the Prime Minister had not deliberately misled Parliament. I don’t think he did, but I do think there’s a prima-facie case for him to face the privileges committee inquiry. That’s why it’s there.”

Prophetic Words for the UK and the Nations – Lisa Tierney

 

Starmageddon – as prophesied! (Part 2)

UK NEWS

Sir Keir Starmer could face a privileges committee inquiry into whether he lied to MPs about the Mandelson scandal.

The committee, best known for its investigation into Boris Johnson’s partygate scandal, investigates potential contempt of Parliament – which is widely seen as a resignation offence.

Karl Turner, a suspended Labour MP who currently sits as an independent, revealed that he had written to Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Commons Speaker, urging him to refer the Prime Minister to the committee.

At PMQs on Wednesday, Sir Keir told the Commons that “no pressure existed whatsoever” over the appointment of Lord Mandelson as his ambassador to the US.

A day earlier, Sir Olly Robbins, who was sacked from his top Foreign Office job last week, told the foreign affairs committee that there had been “constant pressure” from No 10.

QUESTIONS RAISED IN PARLIAMENT [AI/Brave]

1. Was proper vetting followed / did Mandelson pass security checks?

  • Question raised: Whether “due process” and full security vetting had been followed before the appointment.
  • Starmer’s answer: He told Parliament that due process had been followed.

2. Did Mandelson fail security vetting, and did Starmer know?

  • Question raised: Whether Mandelson had failed security vetting and whether the Prime Minister knew at the time of appointment.
  • Starmer’s answer: He said he was not informed that Mandelson had failed vetting and only learned later; he described this as “staggering” and “unforgivable.”

3. Did the Prime Minister mislead Parliament about the vetting process?

  • Question raised: Allegations that Starmer misled MPs in earlier statements about the vetting and appointment.
  • Starmer’s answer: His office stated he did not mislead Parliament, maintaining his statements were accurate based on the information he had.

4. Was there pressure from Downing Street to approve Mandelson?

  • Question raised: Whether Starmer or his office applied pressure on officials to secure Mandelson’s appointment despite concerns.
  • Starmer’s answer: Downing Street denied improper pressure, describing contacts with officials as standard.

5. What responsibility does Starmer take for the appointment?

  • Question raised: Why he appointed Mandelson and whether he accepts responsibility.
  • Starmer’s answer: He told the Commons: “I should not have appointed Peter Mandelson… I take responsibility… and I apologise.”

6. Why was Parliament not informed earlier about the vetting failure?

  • Question raised: Why MPs were not told sooner and what the Prime Minister knew and when.
  • Starmer’s answer: He said he himself had not been told about the failed vetting and that ministers were also unaware at the time.

INTRIGUING BACKGROUND

The Man Nobody Is Talking About. His Name Is Sir Philip Barton.

Buried inside Tuesday’s committee testimony, beneath the headlines about constant pressure, bullying and secret job searches, is the detail that may prove the most consequential of this entire affair. It concerns not Olly Robbins, not Morgan McSweeney, not even Keir Starmer. It concerns the man who was there before all of them. The man who said no. The man who then left his post eight months early.

Sir Philip Barton was the Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office when Peter Mandelson’s appointment was announced in December 2024. He was, in other words, the most senior civil servant in the building at the precise moment the machinery of state was being directed to place a man with documented links to Russia and China into the most sensitive diplomatic posting in the Western alliance.

What Robbins told the committee on Tuesday is this. Barton pushed back. When the Cabinet Office argued that vetting Mandelson was unnecessary, that a peer and Privy Councillor did not require developed vetting, Barton refused to accept it. He insisted that vetting was a requirement. He had to be, in Robbins’s own words, very firm in person. He also voiced reservations about the appointment to Jonathan Powell, the National Security Adviser, reservations that were noted and not acted upon. He was worried, Robbins suggested, about exactly the same reputational risks that had been detailed to the Prime Minister before the appointment was announced.

Then Sir Philip Barton left his post. Eight months before his tenure would otherwise have concluded.

The question Richard Foord put to Robbins on Tuesday was the right one. Why did Barton’s tenure end early? Robbins said he did not know. He suggested ministers may have felt it was time for a change. That answer is not an answer. It is the absence of one.

Consider what the timeline now shows. A senior civil servant pushes back against the appointment, insists on vetting when the Cabinet Office wants to bypass it, raises reservations with the National Security Adviser, and departs eight months ahead of schedule. His replacement arrives to find the appointment already treated as a fait accompli, the vetting process under constant pressure from Downing Street, and the question of outcome entirely subordinate to the question of speed.

If Barton was removed because he stood in the way of this appointment, then Robbins was not the first civil servant sacrificed to protect it. He was the second. And the question of who else was moved aside, overruled or silenced in the months between December 2024 and the moment the security services finally said no, becomes the most important question this affair has yet produced.

Starmer sacked Robbins for following the rules. The Foreign Affairs Committee will now call Barton to give evidence. What he says will either confirm what the timeline already suggests or provide an alternative explanation that the evidence does not currently support.

There is a pattern here that goes beyond process failure. Process failures are random. They point in different directions. What this affair has produced is a series of events that point consistently in one direction. Officials who comply are retained. Officials who push back depart. The security services are bypassed. The vetting is treated as an administrative inconvenience. And the one question nobody at the top of this government will answer is why this appointment, this man, this post, mattered so much that every obstacle was removed to make it happen.

Barton apparently asked that question. He left eight months early. The country deserves to know why.

– Jim Chimirie, The Bruges Group (Facebook)

CONCLUSION

This begs the question, in view of his time as Director of Public Prosecutions (Head of the Crown Prosecution Service) 2008-2013 failing to crush the Muslim grooming gangs, what was the extent of his personal friendship not only Mandelson, who was connected with Russia and China as well as directly involved with paedophile Epstein, but also of Starmer’s own involvement with those nations and/or the criminal or perverted cronies?

AND??

Starmageddon – as prophesied! (Part 1)

THE BEGINNING OF THE END: British Cabinet Ministers Turn on Starmer Over His Mishandling of the Mandelson Vetting Crisis

Advert-free PrintFriendly version

Paula Serran’s above-linked report ‘over the pond’ is a succinct situation summary of this farago playing out in Parliament, Westminster, in which he begins:

Starmer’s premiership is all but over.

The stain of a Jeffrey Epstein association is nearly impossible to wash away, and in the case of former British ambassador to the US, Lord Peter Mandelson, the disgraceful status is even transferable to third parties, like Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Starmer insisted on appointing Mandelson to the ambassadorship, even after he flunked the vetting process.

With the release by the US DOJ of the ‘Epstein files’, Mandelson fell in flames, was even arrested, and is now under investigation over suspicion of gross misconduct in public office…’

PROPHECIES:

1. 28th May 2016 – In the first post of my subsequently extensive series on Exposures I mused upon the Lord exposing political rot in USA and in the next post considered it within the UK too, in my writing: ‘…Have only now checked the links and particularly note A…’s closing remarks on what the Lord showed him re St Paul’s (Cathedral) and a barge taking rubbish out to sea: “It’s time to clean My house”. The Lord’s timing is always fascinating, so maybe that reflects my thoughts on the Lord starting to expose political wrong-doings, as mentioned in my email on praying for the Camerons….’

2. 22nd Oct 2022 – Veronika West writes, “So, on Saturday, 22 October 2022, while in prayer for this Nation and the unfolding Political Crisis, I heard these Words for The United Kingdom, ”For in their rebellion and pride, they removed the Truss that was set in place. Watch and pray! For a total roof collapse will take place that will bring the whole House down!”

3. 31st Dec 2024 – Veronika West writes, “then heard these words again ”Watch! For a Great Unravelling of this Current UK Government has surely begun!” as posted in HKP update 17 Sept 2025.

4. 5th Feb 2026 – In asking, Prophetic word for UK’s Prime Minister soon to be fulfilled? I quoted Veronika West’s post of 15 Nov 2025 wherein she opens, “I heard the Spirit say, ”Watch! For Keir Starmer’s days are soon to be over! See how the Vultures begin to circle…Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin — a Nation and its Leaders weighed in the balance and found wanting….”

Time for Christians to oppose UK law used against evangelicals

TIME FOR CHRISTIANS TO ACT AGAINST THE ENEMY OF SOULS

It’s a sure sign satan sees its demise is over the horizon in stepping up fierce opposition to what the Lord is doing through many thousands coming to learn about Jesus and the holy scriptures not only in Britain but also globally. In previous coverage of its strategies we know its prime aim is to remove Jewish people from Jerusalem and thereby thwart and thus voiding Jesus’ return to the Mount of Olives  (Zechariah 14.4).

As in the latest news of police harassment of an evangelist for telling the Good News of Jesus for every living soul, thereby validating the retired MI5 Director’s warning in 2009 of Britain sleep-walking into a police state, yesterday’s Times reports on a local Council intention to prosecute a church for evangelising the public.

Christian Concern has circulated this email of their public remonstrance:

‘Around the country, the Christian message is being increasingly silenced in public spaces.

But in Colchester, this has taken a new form with the council seeking to stop evangelists from mentioning judgement and hell.

Bread of Life Community Church from Colchester has been issued with a Community Protection Notice (CPN) that could criminalise its pastor and members for preaching in the city centre.

Our legal team is backing the church as it challenges the legality of the notice.

Could you help now by signing and sharing our petition? This will help the church in its challenge and help more people find out about the story.

Council wardens in Colchester repeatedly demanded cessation or reduction of amplification, despite the current Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) containing no prohibition on amplified sound.

A Community Protection Warning was issued in November 2025, followed by threats of fines.

Wardens then raised concerns not only about volume, but about the content of the preaching, including theological references to judgement and hell, which the council claimed might distress some listeners.

The Church openly records and publishes video footage of their outreach – and the church says no evidence exists of threats or harassment. This is a church that has engaged in this outreach for six years, as well as providing a regular foodbank collection to the local community and having a track record of buying warm clothes for people who need them.

And they are being threatened not because of their actions but because of their message.

We have launched a new petition, calling on Colchester City Council to take urgent action and:

  • Defend the right of churches to preach the gospel peacefully in public
  • Ensure that Community Protection Notices are not misused to censor lawful religious expression
  • Protect freedom of religion and speech for all.

Sign our petition to stand for free speech and religious freedom in the United Kingdom.

The gospel is the power to salvation for all who believe (Rom 1:16).

Similar attempts to suppress Christian outreach are appearing elsewhere in the UK, with several cases being resolved by Christian Legal Centre lawyers.

This has included in Uxbridge, where a church was forced to legally challenge and ultimately overturn a council ban on its outreach ministry.

Also in Aldershot town centre, a council attempted to secure an injunction that could have criminalised Christian street preaching, even Christmas carols, before retreating under legal pressure.

These incidents are just some examples, and they demonstrate a growing trend of local authorities exceeding their powers to restrict peaceful Christian witness in public spaces.

But the law is clear. Articles 9 and 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998 protect the right to manifest religious beliefs and to speak freely in public.

Our Chief Executive Andrea Williams told the Times:

“This is a deeply alarming development … public order powers designed to address genuine anti-social behaviour are now being used to clamp down on Christian preaching. Today it is amplification, tomorrow it is the content of the message itself. We are seeing a slippery slope from managing noise to policing theology.”

Public authorities must not use their powers to censor lawful religious expression or silence peaceful Christian witness.

This must stop.

Sign our petition and tell the government that they must act to ensure that councils uphold the law and protect the fundamental freedoms of speech and religion.

To My Anointed Trumpet – prophetic word to Veronika West

I commented upon Veronika’s Facebook of this yesterday morning as follows:

“Musing over this and the furore over the picture of President Trump as a healer I note the Lord is sorting the wheat from the chaff, and in my quiet time before reading this word I recalled 1 Peter 4.17 applies on judgement beginning with the Church! (LOL how appropriate as 17th letter of alphabet is ‘Q’)

‘For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and ‘if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?’

Also, recall Lance Wallnau prophecy of Trump as ‘wrecking ball’, so this may demolish pharisaical church to leave the Holy remnant moving in Holy Spirit power.”

Here’s His Kingdom Prophecy full version:

TO  MY ANOINTED TRUMPET…

”I say, do not be troubled by the voices that rise up against you, clothed in Religion and that have been influenced and persuaded by Political Opinion — for their hearts are far from Me.

I tell you, I have seen this before. They did the same when I walked among them in the flesh.

They honoured tradition, but they did not Honour Me. They Praised Me with their lips, but their hearts were far from Me.

They spoke loudly and hurled accusations, yet they missed My Presence. Though I stood before them, they did not recognise Me.

They looked, they assumed and they Judged what they did not understand. They resisted My Spirit and they despised My Miracles, because it did not align with their own will or expectations!

So listen! When you hear their accusations and feel the weight of the words from those who claim to speak for Me, take heart and know I was rejected by the very ones who thought they knew Me best.

Beloved Son, I do not measure as man measures. I look at the heart.

Take a Look at My Servant David, the mighty Giant Slayer, a man who sinned, yet turned back to Me in true repentance — and I showed him Mercy.

I called him, ’A man after My Own Heart’…

I say, do not be moved by the approval of the crowds that praise you today and will seek to crucify you tomorrow, for I tell you, the fear of man is a snare.

Seek only to do My Will!

I tell you again — I raise up whom I will, whom I choose, and I use whom I choose — and often in ways that confound the wise and offend the proud.

Beloved, stay the course! Stand steady! Stay unmoved!

There will always be those who will cry out over things of little substance, yet neglect the weightier matters of My Truth and Righteousness…

So I say, do not be distracted! Keep your focus on the Mandate I have given you, ‘For such a Time as this!’

Son, Listen! Pay Attention!

Resist pride! Walk in humility and seek My Wisdom — for I tell you — your life and your time in Office depends on it.

Guard your heart from bitterness and your mouth from speaking foolishly.

Honour Me — and My Favour shall rest upon you and preserve your life.

Understand this, the relentless opposition you face does not mean My Presence is absent or that My Hand is short or to weak to save.

For I have allowed this resistance to Refine you, to Refashion and Reform you into a Mighty Wreaking Ball and a Battering Ram against the forces of Hell.

My Beloved, look up, look to Me and see!

For My Grace is sufficient for thee — and you will endure and overcome in Victory.

Be still and stand firm, and watch what I will do through you for My Glory!

Love, from your Only Saviour and Creator… God!”

Blessings to you all.

🚨 OBAMA’S SHOCKING TREASON: Secretly Brokered Macron-Iran Deal While U.S. Troops Fight for Their Lives! 🚨By Jonathan Gregory, Washington, D.C. – April 3, 2026

‘A bombshell revelation is rocking the world: French President Macron secretly cut a backchannel deal with Iran for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz — with Barack Obama acting as the key broker behind the scenes.

While American forces are in direct conflict with Iranian-backed militants, Obama allegedly helped push France and Iran closer to becoming allies. President Trump calls it the ultimate betrayal by globalist elites and declares: “Obama’s never stopped working against America First.”

Trump’s strong America First leadership stands in sharp contrast to this treachery. America will not be sold out from within.
Watch the full video now and share if you stand with Trump and America First!’

Obama’s Second Secret Call with Iran: Congratulates Regime for Downing U.S. Planes While Pretending to Push “Peace” – Still Hiding Details from Trump Team
By Jonathan Gregory, Washington, D.C. – April 4, 2026

‘Former President Barack Obama conducted his second unauthorized conversation with the Iranian regime since the conflict began, according to sources close to the matter. During the call, Obama told Iranian officials he was “looking to broker a peace deal” on behalf of the United States. Yet in the very same discussion, he went out of his way to congratulate the ayatollahs for their “successful” recent airstrikes that shot down American planes and endangered U.S. troops. This isn’t diplomacy, it’s a slap in the face to every service member putting their life on the line under President Trump’s leadership.

Even more alarming, Obama continues to stonewall the Trump administration, flatly refusing to share the full contents of either conversation despite repeated requests from national security officials. If his true goal is peace, why praise the enemy for killing Americans? Why keep critical details hidden from the sitting Commander-in-Chief who is actually working to end the chaos Obama’s weak policies helped create? The pattern is unmistakable: Obama’s back channel meddling looks less like noble statesmanship and more like active interference designed to undermine Trump’s strong stance against Iran.

This latest episode only fuels growing suspicions that Obama’s behavior borders on treasonous and is fundamentally un-American. While President Trump works tirelessly to put America First and hold rogue regimes accountable, Obama’s cozy chats and selective silence send a dangerous message to our adversaries, that former officials can still play kingmaker from the sidelines. Patriots across the country are rightly calling this out as the kind of disloyalty that weakens our military and emboldens terrorists. The Trump administration must get to the bottom of these secret dealings immediately, because Americans deserve a government that stands united against our enemies, not one undermined by yesterday’s failed leaders.’

Saudi Crown Prince Drops Bombshell: Obama Handed Iran $150 Billion That Funded Terrorism, Not One Street – Trump Was Right All Along
By Jonathan Gregory, Washington, D.C. – April 6, 2026

‘Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman delivered a scathing public indictment of the Iranian regime this week, exposing how Barack Obama’s disastrous Iran nuclear deal funnelled a staggering $150 billion in sanctions relief straight into the mullahs’ terror machine. In a remarkably direct assessment, MBS revealed that Iran built not a single street, residential complex, or industrial facility for its own people with the massive windfall. Instead, every dollar went toward missiles, drones, and fortifying proxy armies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, groups that have sown chaos across the Middle East. The Saudi leader also highlighted Iran’s role as a safe haven for senior Al-Qaeda figures, including one of Osama bin Laden’s sons who was raised and indoctrinated into jihadism inside Iran.

This bombshell confirmation from a key Arab leader validates what President Trump and conservatives warned about for years; Obama’s reckless cash infusion, including literal pallets of cash delivered in the dead of night, was never about peace or stability. It was a deliberate policy that destabilized the region, armed America’s enemies, and posed a direct threat to Israel and U.S. allies like Saudi Arabia. While Obama brought nothing but chaos and a trail of destruction wherever he went, Trump’s maximum pressure campaign on Iran proved far more effective, squeezing the regime and exposing its true priorities; exporting terrorism rather than improving the lives of Iranians.

MBS’s candid remarks come at a critical moment as the world watches Iran’s aggression unfold, underscoring why strong, no nonsense leadership is essential. President Trump’s clear eyed approach, putting America and its allies first while confronting radical regimes head on, stands in stark contrast to the weakness and appeasement of the Obama era. Saudi Arabia’s willingness to call out the Iranian threat publicly only highlights the success of Trump-era policies in reshaping alliances and confronting evil ideologies. The days of flooding terrorists with American-enabled billions are over; under Trump’s leadership, accountability and strength are back, ensuring the Middle East, and the world, is safer from destructive forces.’

Another exposure of traitors’ lies to impeach Trump unearthed

Joe Hoft (read Bio) opens his in-depth report as follows:

‘We’ve been begging for this record to be released for years because we know sleazy Schiff was hiding it for some scrupulous reason.  Now we know the reason.

Adam Schiff buried the truth so that he could commit another coup against President Trump in their effort to remove him from power.

Where is the testimony from former and fired corrupt ICIG Atkinson that Adam Schiff hid in the Capitol basement?

We asked this question in 2025 and 2023. This goes back to 2019 when the Democrats went after President Trump for discussing the Bidens’ actions in Ukraine, one interview was covered up by corrupt Rep. Adam Schiff – until today.

President Trump fired ICIG Atkinson in April of 2020 after he could no longer be trusted.  Atkinson had gone after the President to apparently cover up his own crimes…’

‘CIA Director John Ratcliffe played a key role in Congress defending President Donald Trump during the 2019 Ukraine-themed impeachment and his agency declared Monday newly declassified evidence about the credibility and political bias of the chief accuser proved the proceedings were deeply flawed.

“As Director Ratcliffe made clear as a member of President Trump’s impeachment advisory team in 2019, this impeachment was entirely baseless, unfounded, and brought in politically-motivated bad faith,” CIA Director of Public of Affairs Liz Lyons said in a statement to Just the News.

‘Erdogan’s Delusional War Cry: Turkey’s Islamist Strongman Threatens to Invade Israel

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ramped up his anti-Israel tirade in a fiery April 12, 2026 speech, openly threatening military action against the Jewish state.

“Just as we entered Libya and Karabakh, we can enter Israel,” Erdogan declared. “There is no reason not to do it. It will require strength and unity.”

He slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “blinded by blood and hatred,” accusing Israel of atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon while positioning Turkey as some regional savior for the Palestinians.

The outburst came as tensions simmer in the Middle East, with Erdogan claiming only Pakistan’s mediation in U.S.-Iran talks held Turkey back from “showing Israel its place.”

This is classic Erdogan bluster from a NATO member who cozies up to radicals while cozying up to Western defense budgets. Turkey’s military looks big on paper, but invading a battle-hardened Israel defended by superior tech, intelligence, and resolve is pure fantasy.

Israel has crushed far bigger threats before. Erdogan’s tough talk may fire up his Islamist base at home, but it risks dragging Turkey into a fight it cannot win and exposing the fractures in NATO.

Empty threats like this only embolden terrorists and underscore why strong, unapologetic support for Israel’s right to defend itself remains vital against radical regimes dreaming of conquest.’

SO it looks like the Gog-Magog alliance of Ezekiel is hoping to get into full swing – with it’s eventual demise at the Hand of the Lord!  BUT SYRIA’s IN THE MIDDLE!

How’s this for a ‘God-incidence’?  Yesterday morning I’d asked church men’s breakfast WApp group which Bible prophecies apply today and then opened Fbk and this pops up with my birthday number of Comments – should have kept count of them!

Selah!

Update on 2004 open vision of Britain’s backbone emerging

Very pleased to see the above on Revd Canon Brett”s Facebook for it prompts me that a couple of personal ‘ancient and modern’ prophetic visions are coming into play. Also, somewhere in comments I’d seen a reference to ‘backbone’:

2004 – BRITAIN’S BACKBONE IS BACK

My post of 18 August 2011 Comments on Dr Sharon Stone ‘Collapse of Society’ and my Vision of Britain just after riots in London refers to my first meeting her six years earlier when I sought her opinion as a prophet on what had happened to me, but which other leaders were unable to advise.  I write therein:

‘Personally, I’m encouraged that this word (through Revd Dr Stone) confirms the gist of a large open vision about 10 foot in front of me, that came at the opening of worship at the start of a conference in St Albans in October 2004. [Note: blue text copied from original email.]

“Before me I ‘saw’ a map of Britain surrounded by the sea, as though painted on rotten sacking – like old, wet coal-sacks I saw in my youth. It seemed the Lord was saying the fabric of our nation’s so rotten He could tear it apart so easily. 

This ‘map’ then began to rip apart in the middle, from about the line of Hadian’s Wall down along the line of the Pennine chain to the Midlands, and I sensed the Lord say, “I’m going to put the backbone back in Britain”. (I recalled that the Pennines are known as the spine of England.)

But out of the tear arose a very long rock, which I understood as meaning the Lord would restore our strong, spiritual backbone when we stand upon Him, The Rock.”

[Previously I’d noted, ‘Could the Lord be allowing increased persecutions here for the purpose of putting the spine back into Christians and making us stand up strongly?’… And Parliament has since been, and continues to be, thoroughly shaken and ripped open – do it to the media and elsewhere, Lord…Did you know that mounted, body-armoured police in Manchester interrogated a street preacher just because he was inviting people to an Easter service? Next, a hate-crimes unit visited him at home!!!]

“It wasn’t so much the unexpected and unbidden nature of the event that startled me. It was because I thought I heard the Lord say that He would rip the nation apart as easily as an old sack because of its rotten nature!!  That troubled me for I considered such to be contrary to his loving nature. 

But NT scriptures do speak of judgement and He gives many repeated warnings of such impending action (eg. as given this month through Lance Lambert).  Yet, we must plead His remembrance of mercy and of Jesus’ sacrifice, through which comes the fullness of true blessing.  All rather a profound mystery.  Also, let’s not forget that the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD (Isaiah 11.2) were aspects of the Holy Spirit prophesied for the descendant of King David’s father Jesse: Jesus Christ.”

2025 – SWORD & CRUSADE

1st of 7 Jigsaw Pieces…I asked the LORD about the rapidly increasing non-stop worldwide wickedness and when is He going to remove it, as promised in the parable of wheat and tares?

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

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

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

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

2nd of 7 Jigsaw Pieces –  It struck me, therefore, that ongoing widespread attacks against Christians in Europe and in Nigeria by Muslims is a satanic strategy to retrogress civilisation 1,400 years to the Dark Ages when Muslims attacked and invaded nations outside Arabia in their jihad and intifada and captured Jerusalem 1,390 years ago – Replacement Theology misses significance of Jesus’ warning of The Abomination of Desolation refers. It took a few hundred years for the Church to call for a Crusade of Europe’s Christians to wage a war of defence against Islam and its armies.

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

Did POTUS truly lose the plot ? – 2 of 2 God-incidental answers: a ‘madman’ prophetic word

Following on from yesterday’s online reading and discussions a meditation upon Verse Of The Day, Hebrews 1:3 and its blessed context God’s Supreme Revelation (NKJV)

‘The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.’

Afterwards the first incoming notification led to this video. Unusually, I took time to listen at speed and learned Tomi heard a word THREE years ago on ‘MADMAN!’ – akin to Jael.

THUS, a second ‘God-incidental’ confirmation of yesterday’s conversation about Trump losing the plot…THIS IS A MUST WATCH.

PS. (17:48)
Paul Morris in Canada sends this reminder: “I liked your comments re DJT “losing the plot” – those both in the “church” and out of it are clueless as to the fact that YHVH has called DJT to do exactly what he’s doing. He keeps reminding us via Amanda Grace, Julie Green, Barry Wunsch and others that believers are to pray for Donald, not be ‘slagging him’ and agreeing with the deceived or compromised voices that seek to block and/or remove DJT”

Did POTUS Trump truly lose the plot? – 1 of 2 God-incidental answers

Many noted the absence of any public message for Easter from Britain’s king and ‘head’ of the Church of England, in distinct contrast to his published blessing the start of Ramadan!  What a contrast with President Trump’s formal message strongly focussed upon the scriptural significance of Jesus’ Resurrection!

However, POTUS’ subsequent threat to obliterate Iran caused very deep consternation. I noted British church friends took exception not only to that, but also to Revd Franklin Graham’s published letter briefly correcting and teaching the President about heaven!

So I continued discussing when a dear friend publicly commented “Trump’s completely lost the plot” and later saying going to war is contrary to Jesus’ teachings and agreeing with Pope Leo’s preaching from Isaiah 1:15 and Zechariah 9:9-10 that God “rejects” the prayers of warmongers!

I well recall the 6-day War of 1967 returning all Jerusalem to the Jewish people and later monitoring the Iranian regime and American presidents’ policies in the Middle-East – especially how President Trump operates – I offer this personal historical and biblical perspective.:

Trump is using the same ‘existential’ lingo as the Iranians!!  Thus, they know he knows them – which is the highest communication skill – like the Lord uses with us.

Now, as in my Bio Info: imagine watching a BBC documentary on Iran at war with Iraq, only to hear there’s a temporary cease-fire so elite units of both sides can rehearse storming Jerusalem to liberate it from and cleanse it of all Jews.

Simultaneously, you’re flicking through a gift book The Invisible Hand on geopolitical and religious history of the Middle-East and see a picture of Al-Aqsa mosque with drop-down connective list of verses from the Books of Daniel and Revelation, BUT you don’t know the Bible as you’ve spent 20 years in New Age practices.

Investigating over subsequent years, you discover the apocalyptical goals of Iran’s maniac mullahs needing a  World War III to bring about the return of their hidden 12th imam (Mahdi) with Jesus as second in command, being a prophet but not the Son of God and Jewish Messiah!!!

Hence, their multi-pronged command of massively armed proxy armies to attack Israel from all sides, and well-funded by Obama’s 2016 capitulation.

Now, 40 years later the world has a leader who TOO knew all that when you did, AND you know from the living Lord (NOT churchgoers) about his presidency and mission – were you then?

So no, Trump has NOT ‘completely lost the plot’ by talking of ending their civilisation for the simple reason he knows only too well their end-game.

SO, instead of mad mullahs’ constant “Death to Israel, Death to America!” declarations to end the civilisations of Israel and America, Trump is turning the tables on them!

Soon after the second discussion a Facebook friend’s most pertinent post popped onto my phone. It cites The Middle-East Forum’s following article:

Extract from Jules Gome’s report:
‘Weiss, a member of the Interreligious Committee for Relations with the Vatican, corrected Leo’s interpretation of Isaiah, explaining that the prophet’s words “were directed against injustice, corruption, and moral failure” and “not spoken to deny a people the right to protect themselves from annihilation.”

The rabbi, who signed a Vatican interfaith declaration in 2019 rejecting euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, reminded Leo that Isaiah’s words “require careful application” precisely because they “carry immense moral weight.”

“A sweeping condemnation of ‘those who wage war,’ without distinction between aggressor and defender, risks creating a profound moral confusion,” Weiss emphasized. “It places those who seek to preserve life in the same category as those who seek to destroy it.”

The rabbi urged Leo to clarify “the moral difference” and “essential distinction” between “those who initiate violence and those who are compelled to defend the sanctity of life” in his future statements.

Israel is “not engaged in a war of choice” but “is confronting an existential threat from forces that have openly declared their intention to destroy it, and which have actively pursued the means to do so, including the development of weapons capable of devastating entire populations,” Weiss noted…’

I’m often blessed to receive soon afterwards directly relevant material relating to a topic in question, but more was yet to come first thing the very next morning (today), as in the next post…

It reminds us of the legal principle stated below and which is reasonably applied to what Holy Spirit gifted individuals receive from the Lord, and as the rationale behind Paul’s instruction upon delivery and weighing of public prophecies in 1 Corinthians 14:29-31

DEUTERONOMY 19:15

One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.

The next ‘God-incidental’ answer is on the relevance of a 2023 ‘Madman’ prophecy >>

NATO cartoon echoes 2019 ‘Humpty Trumpty’ prophecy

Here’s the prophetic nursery rhyme Veronika West brought in December 2019:

AMERICA: HUMPTY TRUMPTY SAT ON A WALL

I shared this Word a few days ago on November 28, 2019, where I heard the sound of elephants trumpeting; ‘a sound of distinction’ will be heard: “America: God will Break the Backs of the Donkeys and the Stiff-necked.”

This morning I woke to this crazy riddle or rhyme about Humpty Trumpty sitting on a wall, watching as many would fall, and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men could not raise them up again..!

I believe there is an interesting link between these two Words.

“America: God will Break the Backs of the Donkeys and the Stiff-necked.”

“America; I heard The Spirit of God say this morning, “Listen! For the sound of many trumpets will be heard across this land. Yes!

Watch! As the elephants stampede and the donkeys scatter, and some will say, the elephants have sounded the sound of distinction, for the sound of many trumpets will herald a great victory for a nation that has come under demonic siege!”

Ha America! You all going to think I’m crazy but I heard this early hours of the morning:

“Humpty Trumpty sat on a wall.

Humpty Trumpty watched them all fall.

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men,

Could not help them back up again.”

Jesus’ Burial Face-cloth: Case Closed! – Veronika West

MOST interesting find this morning posted at 16:22 yesterday, along with my ‘212’ old childhood ‘Visitation’ address as my closing words in our church “He’s Risen!” pre-service prayers with leader and worship team were, “He’s returning!”

“Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself.” John 20:6-7.

When I saw the above picture and began to read about the significance of the burial Face-Cloth being neatly folded, and how it speaks of Jesus coming back, The Holy Spirit began to open up another Prophetic layer of Revelation to me.

The burial Face-Cloth was not only used to cover the Face — but also the Head — and as I looked and read about how it was set apart and folded with careful intention by Jesus, I heard The Spirit say, ”Case closed!”

The neatly placed burial Face Cloth — Yes! — does speak of His return — but I submit prophetically, that it also speaks of ”Divine Completion — Case Closed! — Nothing left undone — Nothing Pending or Outstanding — Nothing Missing or lacking!”

It speaks of a Comprehensive and Decisive End, and a Victorious New Beginning and all at the same time.

It marks a clear line of Divine Distinction being drawn between the Old and the New.

The Old Identity (Face-Cloth), shaped by sin, fear, limitations, shame and death — which do not carry over into Resurrection!

We know that the Old does not Transition. It does not evolve and it certainly does not survive the Power of the Blood of Jesus shed at The Cross.

The Old is brought to an End!

The Old Identity was not simply Improved or managed — or dare I say ‘repaired’ — as it was dealt a mighty Death Blow, and complete transformation took place, so that what emerges from the darkness of the Tomb is a New Creation in Christ.

A Spiritual Metamorphosis took place, and so what was left behind in the Grave, did not define what walks out of it!

Ha! What remained was a New Identity — a New and Transformed Kingdom Identity born out of Resurrection Life itself.

Absolutely nothing of the Old Life could remain. Nothing of self-effort could stand.

This New Resurrected Identity is not something we could ever strive to become — it is who we are now in Christ!

The neatly folded Burial Covering of the Face and Head

I submit, the neatly folded Burial Covering of the face and head also speaks to the Realm of the Mind.

I heard these Words, ”The tomb became a womb which brought to birth greater life and true Kingdom Identity!”

The Battle of the Mind was dealt a decisive blow at The Cross and through the Power of the Resurrection.

In its place emerged the Renewed and Transformed Mind of Christ — the place of True Spiritual Perception, Vision and Understanding — and the place from which True Kingdom Identity as Sons is revealed.

The Mind that was once ruled and governed by the limitations of the flesh has been removed, and in its place is the Mind of Christ.

This is a Complete Paradigm Shift!

  • A New way of Seeing!
  • A New way of Thinking!
  • A New way of Understanding!

No longer a Mind shaped by the systems of this world — and no longer shaped by the cycles and seasons of the past — but now fully Reformed and Renewed through Union with Him in Resurrection Life and Power!

So, when people look at us, they are not meant to see the residue of who we once were.

But now they encounter the Outworking of Resurrection Power made manifest.

They encounter His Life expressed — His Character and Nature revealed — His Authority and Power made visible through a yielded and surrendered Vessel.

I believe, this is the True Essence of the Godhead being made manifest through a Chosen Remnant who have become ONE with Him — in death — in burial and in Resurrection Life!

Friends, this is the New Kingdom Identity that reflects Him not in part, but in fullness of the God-Head.

And it is here that the folded Burial Face-Cloth declares it with Authority and Power.

Our redemption is not pending — our Victory is not still coming — it is HERE!

It is NOW — and It is actively bringing forth greater measures and ever-increasing degrees of Glory being made manifest through the Sons.

The Work is finished! The Price is fully paid!

The power of death and the grave no longer has a Voice or a Legal Claim!

The Case is Closed!

Revival is here! Restoration is here! Vindication is here!

His Return is imminent!

Blessings to you all.

PS: Salvation hidden in the Bible’s opening word!

Further to Jesus’ identity being hidden in the first sentence of the Holy Bible and to His crucifixion being described in God’s Name, both matters are contained within the very ‘beginning’ word of the Bible, as explained…

Many thanks to Elaine Venning.

Jesus’ Crucifixion described within the Holy Name of God

First published herein April 2017. Scripture verses courtesy BibleGateway NKJV:

According to Steve Maltz, author of God’s Signature, the only time the sacred, personal Name of God was spoken by the ancient Israelites was during worship in the Temple in Jerusalem, and especially on the Day of Atonement when the High Priest pronounced it ten times.

The Talmud has many warnings about using the Most Holy Name – it is also regarded as having special powers of healing. Apparently knowledge of its pronunciation was lost after the fall of the Temple in AD70 prophesied by Jesus Christ (Matthew 24).

The knock-on effect of that event, together with the Roman Church’s withdrawal in the third Century of financial support for churches in the Holy Land founded by Jesus’ own ‘kith and kin’, or ‘Desposyni’ as recounted herein, was the great loss of a full understanding of the Church’s Hebraic roots.

Hence the confusion and doctrinal disagreements over Jesus claiming, “I am in the Father and the Father is in me!” (John 14:10).

Digging deeper we encounter an astonishing revelation of that double-identity!

From translations of Hebrew, the post-Shakespeare English-speaking world referred to God’s Name as ‘Jehovah’ or ‘LORD’ (letter ‘J’ was then starting to replace ‘i’). However, Jews preferred well-known descriptive titles such as ‘Elohim’ – God, in all the fullness of His attributes; ‘El Shaddai’ – Almighty; ‘El Sabaoth’ – Lord of heavenly hosts; or Adonai’ – Lord, and more often than not the reverent term ‘Ha Shem’ (The Name) sufficed.

Scribes, or sopher, needed to take special care in praying before writing the holy name, which must be done without interruption. Were a mistake made, it must not be corrected but the whole page discarded and the page restarted. Numbering had to be carefully handled too because Hebrew characters represented both letters and numbers. So the logical way of writing 15 is to add a yod (ie 10) to a hey (ie 5) and likewise for 16 (a yod to a vav). But this never happened because, as part of the sacred name, they could accidentally be read as this name. The Holy Name is shown below, but read from right to left:

Ha Shem

“Yod-Hey-Vav-Hay” first appears in ‘The Book of Beginnings’ account of  “When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens” (Genesis 2:4)

This Name was first revealed when Moses encountered God in the burning bush after he’d asked Him whom should he tell the Israelites had sent him to get them out of their slavery in Egypt.

God replied, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you’. ” (Exodus 3:14)
Steve writes, “Interestingly and contrary to popular belief, the Hebrew word used in this passage…is not YHVY (he shows Hebrew characters). So, what’s going on here? Is it His name or isn’t it? In this Exodus passage, the word used for His name is “Aleph-Hey-Yod-Hey”.

“This takes the meaning of “I will be”…(which) shares a similar three-consonant root with YHVY in Hey-Vav-Hey and Hey-Yod-Hey…and as they’re related are both ways of describing God”.

Hence my liking of describing God as “Always” and “Now”, the latter being used by Charlie Shamp too.

HOLY FATHER-SON UNION REVEALED & THE CRUCIFIXION FORETOLD

As in those preceding links, literary Hebrew developed out of pictographic forms that represent gestures and their meanings. We logically surmise both original visual and later written forms were known to and, therefore, used by the Lord in communicating with Abraham and his descendants through Issac and Jacob, and used by Moses and his scribes in compiling the first five books of the Bible.

Comparing the literary and pictorial forms of the name Moses heard and recorded as being from the Lord, we have this graphic (credit Heart To Heart):

Hebrew is read right to left, ie ‘hand-look-nail-look’, but if we read as normal left to right we find not only the Name of God describing who He is, the fullness of His character and abilities, but also its exceptional prophetic nature in it foretelling the pivotal point of His action plan for humanity: the crucifixion of His Son Jesus Christ!

BEHOLD – A NAIL – BEHOLD – A HAND

AND THIS ‘WORD’ SHOWS TWO PERSONS!

Could this indicate that Christ was hidden in the Father when Moses encountered them at the burning bush but manifested as ‘The Angel of the Lord’ or pre-incarnate Christ ? It’s worth reading Exodus 3 carefully again and note Who is speaking to Moses…

Moreover, the pictographs graphically portray God as ‘hands up’ in relevant connection with a nail.

Putting all this together into one picture we get a typical image of Jesus on the Cross at Calvary, where long nails or spikes driven through Jesus’ wrists damage the median nerves thus making His hands bend into the ‘claw position’ – as in the later version of letter Yod!!

Jesus Christ’s identity hidden in the Bible’s opening sentence

REPRISE 14th April 2020:

We continue (2020) previous post’s conclusion on Jesus’ knowledge of mathematics, as  drawn from Jonathan Hill’s thesis, with this startling discovery:

ALPHA-OMEGA HIDDEN WITHIN GENESIS 1:1 (AS ALEPH-TAV)

In Appendix I (pages 202-203) on the meaning of number 37 and its palindromic partner 73, Jonathan says both form the numerical value for the fundamental Hebrew word ‘wisdom’. He tells how this pair play a role in a multiplication, the result being the precise number of the Hebrew for the creation verse of Genesis 1:1. He goes on to relate this to 666 and a diagrammatic representation, which he interprets as meaning:

‘This transformation represents the dispensational truth that at the second coming of Christ, the dominant spiritual hierarchy of the world changes from 666, the number of the ‘beast’, to 12 – the governmental number of Israel. All this information including this powerful intervention of God is elegantly and visually encoded in the first verse of the Bible.’

This claim continues by divulging this astounding mystery:

Furthermore, this relates to the next post on how the ancient Hebrew characters of God’s name describe Jesus’ crucifixion, and to which previous version my American reader Tim Shey submitted this highly instructive video:

REVELATION 1:8, 11 – 21:6 – 22:13

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” (NKJV, BibleGateway.com)

Previously, we learned about the astonishing inclusion of mathematical constants of ‘pi’ and the exponential form ‘e‘ – ratios of circles’ circumference/diameter ratio; the base of natural logarithms and rate of growth shared by all growing processes – each within the first verse of Genesis and John respectively, as revealed when applying the same mathematical operation of multiplication and division to their letters and words, NO MATTER IN WHICH ALPHABET; that is, using this ‘conversion’ ratio:

[(All letter values multiplied together) x (Number of letters)] / [Numerical values of all words multiplied together) x (Number of words)]; or as Dr Paul Bluer in Bible Maths:

Jonathan R Hill writes on page 39 of Unlocking The Sign Miracles of John (1st edn),

‘Apply this ratio to Genesis 1:1 and ‘pi’ is revealed accurate to four decimal places. Apply the same ratio to John 1:1 and ‘e’ is revealed, again accurate to four decimal places. Remember that Genesis and John were penned by two different authors in two different languages, hundreds of years apart (if not over a thousand: RB) These fundamental scientific and mathematical constants are markedly embedded within the two creation verses of scripture.

Not only are they powerful witness to the creation of the heavens and of the earth but also to the One who created. In this way, the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible are authenticated as the authoritative media of God’s Word – as God Himself could have placed these mathematical constants there. No other explanation is possible.’ (Emphasis mine)

Verses:
  • ‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.’ (Genesis 1:1)
  • ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.’ (John 1:1)

Genesis 1-1

GEOMETRICAL SYMMETRY

In addition to the above, an exciting geometrical and, therefore, optical relationship exists between those two verses when all their letters have been changed to numbers and added up!

Then, using the principle of number triangles outlined in Post-Resurrection miraculous catch of 153 fish, the totals calculated for Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 can be regarded as snooker balls, or small squares, and positioned into geometrical shapes. The sum for the value of Greek letters of John 1:1 forms a perfect plinth, or trapezium, which exactly fits the triangular number that can be formed by the sum of the value of Hebrew letters in Genesis 1:1, viz:

The sum of Greek letter values is precisely 3,627 and the sum of Hebrew letter values is 2,701, which forms a perfect equilateral triangle (as erected by the construction of a Vesica Piscis, shown in that post). Each of its sides consists of 73 small squares that represent one unit in the ‘conversion’ value of alphabetical letters. It’s noteworthy that 73 is also the numerical value of the Hebrew word for ‘wisdom’! Furthermore, there are scriptures that assert the world was created upon wisdom, for example:

    • Book of Proverbs – ‘The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens’ (3:19).
    • Prophet Jeremiah – ‘He has made the earth by His power, He has established the world by His wisdom. (10:12).

John 1:1 reveals that Jesus was with God in the beginning and thus He was before all creation, and Paul similarly writes at Colossians 1:17. Given that precedence, then it’s logical that John 1:1 is seen to support Genesis 1:1 in this mathematically visual way!

SUMMARY

So far, we’ve learned the Bible has proven and demonstrable mathematical meanings buried within its text when letters are converted into numerical values. Moreover, many forms of mathematical operations and principles may be discovered, eg.

    • standard arithmetical operations
    • non-complex geometrical shapes
    • Venn diagrams
    • square root
    • factorials.

And that’s only when taking ordinary three-dimensional space into account. Also hidden within Genesis is a descriptive name of God and a direct link to the nature of Time! But that’s for another time…meanwhile, click to read what ‘coincidentally’ appeared today!!

7th event: Invitation to explore Revelation and End-times with Alan Shemwell

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If you or friends wish to take up Alan’s offer he can be contacted by email ataskquestionsoffaith@gmail.com (Ask Questions Of Faith)

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

Chilling out after last week’s demanding days online, on the first day’s evening of our long Friday-Sunday weekend we took a friend with us to spend a couple of hours in non-stop Spirit-led worship.  That day Alan Shemwell, author of Trustworthy and True, had sent a thankyou message but I was intrigued to now hear a new relevance of the Book of Revelation from our friend whilst waiting the worship’s start, BUT then totally  astonished to hear the evening begin with this full quotation of Revelation 1:10-26:

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

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

So to summarise, here’s the week’s daily sequence of God-incidental ‘jigsaw pieces’:

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

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

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