DEVOLUTION = “The transfer or delegation of power to a lower level.”
Many in the patriot community have been following the Devolution Series by Patel Patriot. In this ongoing series of papers written since the fake inauguration in 2021, Patel theorizes that President Trump made contingency plans for the stolen election long before it happened. He presents compelling evidence of Executive Orders and actions that Trump ordered before he left office to assure the continuity of government under emergency/wartime scenarios. Patel is convinced that Trump would never walk away from what he knew was going to be a corrupt and unfair election – without a plan.
In the months that have followed since January 2021, many of the ideas presented in the Devolution Series seem to be playing out […continue at..] THE GREATEST DEVOLUTION PLAN OF ALL TIME —
Further to updates on Devolution Theory we now have an exceptionally illuminating perspective from Wanda, as linked above. Moreover, I note on her Telegram channel she tells how she received this awesome ‘letter.’ (It reminds me of how Apostle John acted as Jesus’ scribe when He dictated personal letters to seven of the earliest churches in Asia Minor, now modern Turkey.)
Wanda writes therein,
“In my latest word – I truly felt like I was transcribing instead of writing. I’m very excited for you to read it. As I was pondering devolution the other day, I was struck by another “devolution series.” Only this one is even more consequential than the current one. Not only does it show “a plan” at work, but it also reveals the absolute confidence of its creator in a victorious outcome.”
May my fellow watchers be thoroughly blessed…
There’s no such thing as ‘coincidence’ when the Lord is involved! Thus, God-incidents!
The Lord’s great global shaking continues with widening ripple-effects from last Friday’s SCOTUS decision along with simultaneous stirring after resumption of ‘Q’ internet drops and unexpected but indubitable Q-sign from President Trump at the huge weekend rally in ‘Qtown’ (QUincy Illinois), as copied from Richard’s Watch Telegram in this post:
This morning I received a couple of q-related newsletters, first a semi-technical 8-page report from a British ‘digital warrior’, Martin Geddes – NOTE his reference to ‘military planning tool’ and, therefore, implicit intelligence gathering of ALL behind-the-scenes events, along with such intricacy that demonstrates this is real NOT fanciful myth and FAR beyond the intellectual capacity of most mainstream media hacks:
The other ‘comm’ is from across the ‘Pond’ by Dave Hayes, Praying Medic – and laugh with me at the timing of my screenshot of 11:22 of a useful lead-in to his discussion (gosh it’s taken an hour including dropped internet – wow how time flies…):
I assure you this was most unintentional for I spotted the time whilst taking screenshot, so decided not to crop as usual. Is this ‘God-incidental confirmation of my postings on Q?? Even a ‘Bridge o’r Pond Global Prophecy Signal’ from America’s Winchester?
Taken at 17:17 British Summer Time – Q:Q, or double-quick time! Marching…?
…we can appreciate the following screen-shots from this blog’s Telegram Channel on the SCOTUS decision, its impact and Trump’s weekend rally specifically relevant to Veronika West’s Trump-Biden poker game prophetic vision. NOTE: after removing his ‘Triumph’ watch and placing it on the mountain of gold coins representing America’s wealth (and its people), Trump displays his winning cards and declares, “It’s time!”
The video by POTUS 45’s close friend captures him writing an invisible letter Q…
SO, now we note how SCOTUS decision ‘coincides’ with the Matthew 13 parable of wheat and darnel, or seed of the evil one, coming into fruition… Continue reading →
Note To Newer Readers: I hope this background briefing will help to unfold the play of this trilogy’s title: ‘cue..clue…true’ that will be revealed in Part 3.
To my mind, what transpired over this weekend indicates that the prophetic Trump vs Biden high-stakes poker game Veronika West saw at the time of the US presidential election is MOST definitely playing out. Here’s the original (click image to read):
We’ve monitored its progress in 30 postings but only now I notice a perspicacious – even prophetical – aspect of a friend’s note, as underscored below:
I write, ‘Chris Moyler provides this helpful summary:
‘Dear Friends, ‘Please do not doubt that President Trump will be reelected. He will, but the Supreme Court will have to give their ruling first. ‘And if any have doubts that the LORD is raising up prophets who are trustworthy and reliable, then I recommend that the record of prophets like dear Veronika West is carefully examined…
I suspect my friend was referring to the then distinct possibility of legal representations being made to SCOTUS over many states’ suspicious conduct of that election. BUT, in fact, the Lord’s hand in their Friday overruling of Roe v Wade is the more significant act – and thereby a necessary step in the full return of President Trump and downfall of Biden and his party.
The full text appeared in HKP’s America and the Trump-Biden Poker Game, but which I encourage you before proceeding further to read my emphases upon specific aspects as given herein:
An appreciation of not only of prophecy and timing but also of insights into exposures of the New world Order, or deep-state’s nefarious global operations, will be most helpful.
So I offer the following as an introduction to ‘QAnon’ phenomena’s origins and activities:
The highly informative essay therein by Martin Geddes confirms my conclusions from having observed Obama and his administration since I started writing in 2009, plus as his practically endorsing William Koenig’s insights from within the White House press-room.
Hence, my title’s play on the 17th letter of the alphabet…‘On Q’
VERY IMPORTANT POINT to note about Friday’s SCOTUS news (click image to read) Revd Franklin Graham,…“I want to thank him (Trump) and former VP Pence for all they did to make the SCOTUS decision possible. They had the most pro-life administration in my lifetime”:
Read below of President Trump’s clarification to Fox News, “God made the decision.”
‘…When asked if he had a message for any of his supporters who may be pro-choice, Trump told Fox News: “I think, in the end, this is something that will work out for everybody.”
“This brings everything back to the states where it has always belonged,” Trump said.
When asked whether he feels he played a role in the reversal of Roe v. Wade, after having appointed three conservative justices to the high court, the former president told Fox News: “God made the decision.”
In covering ‘Devolution’ Theory’ – the continuity of government under President Donald Trump – we’ve considered this as a possible means by which prophecies may come to pass. There are indications this ‘continuity’ may be in play and, thereby, validate certain prophecies.
We now consider a ‘coincidental’ connection between the spiritual and actual realities – as though the Lord is confirming it by means of a ‘God-incidence’?
Let me explain:
Upon skimming through my hard-copy of the first 20 pages of the latest part to Patel (Jon) Patriot’s outstanding papers on Devolution I noticed an in-depth timeline of events starting in April 2016. This is when campaigning for November’s presidential election was getting fired up.
EARLIEST of 600 POSTS on DONALD TRUMP
Immediately, I got a ‘dig in the ribs’ on that being around the time the Lord had dropped into mind a ‘prophetical musing’ (on 26 May 2016) as told in this post (click to read): Hmmm, perhaps COINCIDENTAL??
On revisiting that 6 years-old post, which was mainly about Obama and Iran, I note this very brief note upon Donald J Trump – now underscoring my correct assumption:
‘…today the Telegraph Tax Investigation into Trump was published; ie. a report on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s US tax avoidance activities.
All that’s probably nothing compared with the EU, which hasn’t been able to publish any certified accounts for donkey’s years!!’
Telegraph’s flawed report opens with the usual comment from a US political party that’s earned the opprobrium of well-reasoned folk: ‘Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign has accused Donald Trump of “enriching himself” at the expense of the American people, following a Telegraph investigation. The comments come in response to revelations by this newspaper that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee signed off on a controversial deal that was designed to deprive the US government of tens of millions of dollars in tax.
‘Christina Reynolds, deputy communications director for the Clinton campaign, said: “It seems like every day, new information comes to light about the lengths that Donald Trump has gone to in order to enrich himself at the expense of the American people.”
‘The New York Times and other media widely suggested or implied that Trump had not paid income taxes for 18 years. Later, tax return pages leaked to MSNBC ultimately showed that Trump actually paid a higher rate than Democrats Bernie Sanders and President Obama.’ [Who’d have thought it !!]
TIMELINE OF TRUMP vs DEEP-STATE
Now with all 65 pages of Patel’s Part 23, I flicked through his ‘recaps’ for summaries of his thesis only to note he too uses the very word that nudged me, as on page 52 – AND I note he quotes another of Sharyl Attkisson’s ACE findings [emphases mine]:
‘It’s now time for me to get to the main point of this whole article, and it all comes down to how willing you are to simply write things off as coincidence. Early on in Trump’s Presidency there was an inner circle of “Trump Loyalists” who were working to weed out the deep state that was entrenched within the NSC.
There is one more interesting connection amongst each of these individuals – all of them except for Derek Harvey. Let’s look at those individuals one more time, along with a few of the other names brought up in this article so we can fully understand how important the “hit list squad” really is.
The connection between the rest of these individuals, is they all had an “appearance” of some sort between the stolen election on November 3rd, 2020, and Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20th, 2021. That time period is obviously massive to the Devolution Series. This is when Trump was making all the moves that led us to believe he implemented continuity of government.
The fact that all these key players who were fighting the deep state at the very beginning of Trump’s Presidency found themselves in the thick of it during our hypothesized implementation of devolution CANNOT be just a coincidence. That is just my interpretation of the information and I encourage you to come to your own conclusion….’
A ‘TASTER’
Now for a few valuable extracts, after Patel’s introductory, Continue reading →
“America! Watch! 6.. 7.. 9… and 11 which makes 33… For I AM a Covenant Keeping God, and I will not leave nor abandon thee!”
So, in the early hours of this morning (Wednesday 15 June), I was woken by The Holy Spirit with an urgency to pray for President Trump and for the destiny of The Nation of America.
Now as I began to pray, suddenly I heard The Spirit say,
“America! Watch! 6.. 7.. 9…and 11 which makes 33… For I AM a Covenant Keeping God, and I will not leave nor abandon thee! Ha!”
As I heard that wee riddle, I quickly wrote it down and continued to pray. Then I heard The Spirit of Revelation say these words,
“My Beloved, awake from your sleep. Arise and be alert in this hour, for a great Battle is raging — a battle between life and death.
Look! For did I not say that there shall be two Altars set before this Nation?
For they have sought to offer up a sacrifice to appease their own guilty consciences. Yes! A Scapegoat on which to put the blood that is upon their own hands by their own making.
But nay, I say! If My People will Pray, their wicked plans and evil agenda will be fully exposed and brought to nought, and the very gallows on which they have built for My Anointed, shall be the gallows on which their own necks shall be broken.
For they shout “January 6th! January 6th!” But I say, WatchEsther 6. Esther 6, for the king’s honour shall come to the one who sits at the gate.
Listen! You city Gates, open wide, and you ancient Doors, stand back… for My Glory comes to The Nations.
Yes! Gold, gold, gold! Watch! As a great shaking and quaking shall bring a discovery of hidden gold buried deep beneath the ground.
For a gold-rush shall once again come to this land, a sign that the gold of My Glory shall be poured out upon this Nation.
For a Banqueting Table has been prepared in the presence of your enemies.
Now watch, and pay close attention to the seventh (7) month, for in the month of July, there shall come a resounding reply to those who cry for Justice and for righteousness sake, a reply that shall bring great unrest, and even the talk ofMartial Lawand a Civil War.
But watch, as My Spirit moves suddenly and in yet strange and mysterious ways in the midst of the turmoil and the trouble, for My Eyes have seen their hidden and evil agenda, and My Ears have heard of their secret plots and demonic plans.
Fear not! For I shall turn the tables and the deals done behind closed doors shall suddenly back-fire.
Look, as a tiny thread comes undone, and a gentle pull will soon give way to a great unraveling to what has been carefully woven by the hands of the wicked.
Watch and pray! Stay alert! For a Divine Dismantling will begin that will bring an unseating to many in both houses, for the ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing will be exposed, and the snakes will driven from their caves, and the moles from their holes.
Watch! I say, “Brace!” Brace, as a great political earthquake will take place that will wake up and break up, that will bring a Nation to the brink, to a divine tipping point, that will cause a Nation that is standing at a crossroads, to suddenly move and advance forward.
Now Watch and Pray. Pay attention to the ninth (9) month, Yes! And to the nine that sit in the highest court in the land, for when my plumb-line falls, suddenly a simultaneous move of My Justice and Judgment will take place.
The Winds of Change will blow forth upon the Supreme Court [SCOTUS]. that will bring the Nation into Divine Order, a Supernatural Realignment that will bring to birth My Kingdom Purposes in The Nation(s).
Listen! Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Who can stop the hands of the clock from moving?
Even as My Governmental Hand is moving over this land — look — a Kairos Time, an appointed time of Divine Visitation comes at the eleventh hour.
Watch and stay alert! For the eleventh (11) month, the month of November, will be remembered for supernatural interventions that will bring an even greater course correction to a nation in divine transition,” says The Spirit of God.
The King Honours Mordecai “That night the king could not sleep. So one was commanded to bring the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. And it was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, the doorkeepers who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. Then the king said, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?”
And the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
So the king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king’s palace to suggest that the king hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
The king’s servants said to him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.”
And the king said, “Let him come in.”
So Haman came in, and the king asked him, “What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honour?”
Now Haman thought in his heart, “Whom would the king delight to honour more than me?” 7 And Haman answered the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honour, let a royal robe be brought which the king has worn, and a horse on which the king has ridden, which has a royal crest placed on its head. Then let this robe and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that he may array the man whom the king delights to honour. Then parade him on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him: ‘Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!’ ”
Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits within the king’s gate! Leave nothing undone of all that you have spoken.”
So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!”
Afterward Mordecai went back to the king’s gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered. When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him.”
While they were still talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hastened to bring Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.” Esther 6.
Blessings to you all.
~ by Veronika West,
RB note: by the way, in view of his affirming Veronika’s vision of Trump vs Biden Poker Game, wherein DJT calls ‘time’ and wins, note this:
Last night I came across a significant thread of items just published. They’re indicative of progress towards the fulfillment of prophetic visions of early November 2020 on the presidential elections, as recounted by Veronika West:
‘Dear Richard, At last I have managed to finish part 5 of the study articles on Revelation. One of those cases where making it short is far more difficult than writing it as a tome!! At one stage it was 19 pages, so I changed the whole approach. It can’t be long now before the New World Order reveals its plans in a way that leaves nothing to the imagination – we couldn’t live in more exciting and what are more clearly “end-times”.’
Indeed! Also, in our chat over Rev 22:20 I mention some translations state ‘soon’, whereas literal Greek has ‘quickly’, which implies suddenly. Neil reminds me he writes in ‘SIGNS’ of ‘soon’ in Rev 1:1 often being translated as meaning events will take place over a short period of time, rather than our concept of ‘soon’. So, I propose scheduling this last part for publishing at 11th minute of 11th hour of 11th day of June 2022!
To my ploy Neil replies, “11th hour on the 11th sounds significant/appropriate in light of recent comments on the Battle for Britain,changing of the guard, Big Ben’s imminent recommencement of regular chiming, the quickening (exponential) pace of prophetic end times indicators (wars and rumours of wars) etc, etc. Time is short!” (American prophet Robin D Bullock goes live at The 11th Hour every Tuesday – RB’s note.)
WHAT IS THE BOOK OF REVELATION FOR? – Part 5: CHAPTERS 19-22
A Digression
I start this section with something of a digression, relating to the whole of the Book of Revelation. At Revelation 19:10 it says: “For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”. For ease of reading, I have tried to avoid too much cross-referencing in these articles. Nevertheless, the whole of Revelation is interwoven with links back to scripture in general, and to the prophetic scriptures in particular, from both the old and new testaments. The Old Testament records the creation of the world, the selection of God’s chosen people Israel, their successes, failures, trials and tribulations, the restoration of Israel after exile, and all things prior to the first advent of Jesus. The New Testament adds the prophecies of the disciples and, in particular, of Jesus in Matthew 24 & 25. These themes and prophecies are picked up in Revelation. Some suggest that the whole Bible could be studied from Revelation, using it as the basis for a form of reverse analysis of scripture (not for the faint-hearted!).
[First published 7 April 2012] Upon reading my brief review of Heaven Is For Real did you, too, not end up asking that question?
Whilst reading the book I was most interested in this simply because Jesus’ face had been out of sight during my encounter, as explained here (at 1st Validation). Also, I was aware of pictures of Jesus found in New Age circles but did not regard them as authentic, just stylistic like many religious paintings.
Can you imagine how deeply stunned Todd and Sonja Burpo were whilst driving with their two children to hear their 4 years-old boy suddenly say he’d heard angels and met Jesus Christ? Continue reading →
I’m grateful to being alerted via my phone by a friend over the Pond (Thanks Mitch) to what Veronika had just posted on Facebook. Note well: unlike most folk I don’t use it online when out of the house but, as I set off for to walk alone, was attempting to play a video. It wouldn’t play BUT that alert arrived and I could follow the link to read what our sister had brought only minutes earlier. THUS it must be priority!!
“Nations have now entered into, A Narrow Place. A Time of Birthing is here — but Watch and Pray, Mayday! Mayday! This is Not a Fire Drill!”
The Spirit of The LORD has had me in times of extended prayer in recent weeks, when at times, I have literally felt the weight of His Glory bearing down hard upon certain Nations.
I have seen and experienced in The Realm of The Spirit, a pushing and a pulling, like strong and powerful birthing contractions, over Nations. As I have been in travail, I have been shown the Destiny of those Nations, now entering into what I can only describe as, ”A Narrow Place.” (I see it unfolding in the deeper realm and dimensions of The Spirit….’NATIONS ARE MOVING THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE’)
It’s a place where the greatest level of demonic warfare is taking place, the very Birthright and Destiny of that Nation is being violently contended for — a place of intense wrestling for the blessing.
I have never felt such intense demonic rage, where the enemies of God are seeking lay siege and take captive The Kingdom Inheritance of Nations.
The Spirit of The LORD has shown me that Nations are at a divine Tipping Point, and Satan has regrouped and is about to unleash a new level of hell’s fury against the greatest Harvest that the world has ever seen.
In the early hours of this morning, I was suddenly awoken to the sound of a loud Bell ringing in The Realm of The Spirit, and I heard these Words,“Mayday! Mayday! This is Not a Fire Drill!”
As I sat up in bed thinking, I was hearing the ringing in the natural, because it was so real to me! The Spirit of The LORD began to speak to me about the month of May, and I heard these Words,
”Watch and Pray, for the month of May will mark a Divine Turning-Point for Nations caught, in the land in-between.
But Watch! For dark Storm Clouds are now gathering, and the violent Winds are now beginning to blow, change, change, a sudden change — for there is now a Tipping and Turning as the Pendulum swings, and the hands of the Clock, move fast forward.
A Kairos Time, an Appointed Time in The Nations of the Earth. See! For the Page is flipping and the narrative is shifting.
Be alert and stay vigilant! For the vultures are circling and the stench of death is in the air. Yes! The smell of rotting flesh draws in the vultures and the jackals.
Look, and look again! Listen and pay attention! I say, Watch and Pray, for Nations are now crossing over to the other side, and when the floods break forth, and the waters rise, the serpent spirit of Leviathan will emerge from the deep to derail and to devour.
So again I say, Watch and Pray. Mayday! Mayday! This is Not a Fire Drill!”
I commented thereupon, “I wonder, maybe in connection with planned launch of DJT’s social media platform Truth Social???” and was pleased to see Veronika’s very prompt response. Here’s her opening ‘salvo’ and read in full in the next post,
“Richard, from what the Lord showed me recently as I was shown into this “Narrow Place”…I saw a battle raging over “AIR SPACE”…in fact it looked something similar to what one would see unfold in Air Combat in the Natural but I saw how the VOICE OF THE ENEMY SEEKS CONTINUOUSLY TO RULE THE AIRWAVES,..
IN considering the spiral nature of Time, as well as satanic strategies in the previous post and linked subsequent parts, we get further insights into Lora Allison’s dream about Donald Trump (emphases mine), especially on ‘INFILTRATION’ : Continue reading →
A couple of points struck me upon reading Wanda Alger’s blog upon her friend Lora Allison’s dream of how Donald Trump’s destiny will be revealed. One point was when she saw a spiral stairway because 7 years ago I’d had an insight about the nature of Time and thus wrote several blogs on the subject. The result was my setting up a static reference hub in the blog’s menu, viz:
Time is directly related to this blog’s oft-recurring topic of ‘God-incidents’, ie. serendipity, or ‘happy coincidences’, especially those connected to our relationship with God. For a brief introduction to this visit the ‘God-incidents’ hub, and many posts may be read under that term’s tag.
More importantly for our present purposes and as an introduction to the spiral nature of Time, where its passage may be compared to a corkscrew, I invite you to read what I posted on 5th March 2015 – especially as it leads into considering Revelation 13 and strategies of the hater of humanity relating to the Middle-East, and of which more very alarming ones are being exposed in Britain and USA.
May the Lord bless you as you consider…
THE ‘ENDGAME’ GETS RAMPED UP ANOTHER LEVEL [part 1 of 3]
A fast fortnight ploughed a deep furrow along a cycle of time – ‘a wheel within the greater wheel’ of End-time events…
Bells start ringing that we’ve been here before – and at this time of year too! – like fresh, bright-yellow daffodil bells I see springing up outside! Let me to add to what others are doing as ‘prep’ for 2015…
Time is non-linear. Our analytical mindsets think time’s a straight line. Often we see time-lines listing events in history – or use one for our own life.
The passage of time and events is seasonal; ie. cyclical. I regard time like a spiral for, when considered dynamically under the interaction of various influences, it’s just like a corkscrew being turned. Nature provides an excellent example that carries information – the DNA spiral.
Another example: on a spiral staircase we pass by different walls. If it’s in a castle turret there’d be a doorway on each floor and in the same vertical wall of the well. Regard this wall as a certain kind of event and note how it connects with us, or is relevant to us, at different times and levels.
Hence, various types of event can crop up in a cyclical pattern of repetitions at different levels and show some development has taken place. So it is in history and with God’s plans too, could we but be aware, or receive revelation. Continue reading →
First published in the early years of this blog and annually thereafter for blessing new readers:
In preparation for the Holy-days’ weekend Nina creates a tableau for contemplating Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. She’s inspired about what items to collect and arrange, usually including a rock with a central hole eroded by the sea and which we found on a beach. It serves as both the ‘skull’ and garden tomb of Golgotha. For example, the above display has a scarf as a ‘river of life’ flowing out of the empty cave/tomb below the cross. (In 2012 it gave an insight that I’ll share below.)
Maundy Thursday is celebrated as the night when Jesus and the lead-disciples ate an early Passover Seder, or meal (see video explanation). Following the meal, one disciple betrayed Him by leading Temple guards to capture Him at night for trial by a ‘kangaroo’ court of Jewish leaders. It was a foregone conclusion that they’d demand authorisation of His death from Pontius Pilate, the Roman Prefect, or governor, of Judea.
If you’re unfamiliar with this true story and how it led to Jesus’ gruesome torture, death and burial followed by his amazing bodily resurrection and appearance to His disciples, read doctor Luke’s investigative account and the personal account of Jesus’ closest disciple John. (Later, a Jewish leader violently opposed to them but who encountered Jesus en-route to Damascus would write He was seen simultaneously by over 500 – read 1 Corinthians 15:6)
HEAVEN & HUMAN HISTORIES’ PIVOTAL TIME
Jesus Christ died so that each of us may be forgiven for our sins. As a result of this new status, we can have direct personal access to Almighty God when we believe in Jesus Christ. As the Son of God, Jesus suffered on our behalf as our ‘scapegoat’. That is, Jesus took the place of death that we deserved because of our sinfulness, for the shedding of a sinless one’s blood was the only way our status could be changed for us to gain personal salvation. Apostle Paul put it thus to the Romans:
8But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. (Romans 5:8-11, NIV, see whole chapter.)
Now, when I was a new Christian I found that rather hard to understand – but it works! The theological term is ‘atonement’, or ‘substitutionary atonement’. In bringing forgive-ness to the guilty, however, this can cause deep problems for those who’ve been the victim of crimes. After all, why should a killer find forgiveness by God? And what about the victim’s families, or the victim of abuse? They find it very hard if well-nigh impossible to forgive.
In 2012 I heard a Portsmouth prison chaplain address this issue with a concept taken from the criminal justice system: restorative justice. This involves an active dialogue between victim and offender, plus reparation. And it has a sound basis in theology. How?
Jesus was a guiltless victim, directly of those who wanted Him killed, and indirectly of everyone’s ‘fallen state’ of sinfulness, which could only be rectified by His death.
And Almighty God, the Father, is a victim too. How? He’s victim of humanity’s rebellion against Him. For example and especially over the way religious leaders murdered His son – how they seethed with rage when Jesus denounced them! (read Luke 20:9-19). So, every victim can find an identity and affinity in both God and Jesus Christ in their situation. Hence, they can receive God’s own ability to forgive because He will help them choose to forgive those who’ve harmed them. [Lack of forgiveness may be the only thing that hampers God – see Matt 6:14-15]
A TABLEAU IN TIME
During contemplation upon the tableau illustrated above, an insight dropped into mind that the Resurrection created a distinct point in the flow of, or perhaps even a change in, Time itself. That is, the now termed ‘common era’ calendar is the medieval Christian one that counts years from the approximate birth of Christ as ‘anno Domini’. But in fact, a more powerful one would be the point at which things in heaven changed and thus affected our lives on earth and its ultimate role in God’s scheme of creation. This took place at the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, His revival to life from death itself.
That such a concept may be valid can be found in the discoveries about the material of ‘The Shroud of Turin’, the shroud in which Jesus was thought to have been carried and covered during His interment. It is of most astounding significance when examined from the view-point of modern physics.
Apart from the supra-natural or spiritual aspect, that unique, singular event could have naturally happened by means of a ‘singularity’ (a theoretical gravitational effect associated with ‘black holes’, eg. as may have been the starting point of the creation of the universe, or ‘Big Bang’).
Don’t take my word for this but consider that of Dame Isabel Piczek (deceased 2016), famous as a monumental artist and award-winning figurative draughtswoman. Her highly detailed analysis of theories about how the image on the shroud was formed is authoritative, as in the first of several detailed articles here.
Also, as a physicist who may have considered implications from a quantum mechanics standpoint, her conclusions about how the image was formed are most intriguing: it seems that the image of Jesus can only have been created by its hovering equidistantly above and below his reclining bent corpse. Furthermore, this necessitated the body’s levitation – perhaps not an impossible feat during the moment of the Resurrection power-blast? After all, the disciples had witnessed Jesus walking on water and were yet to see His levitating into the clouds!
Dame Isabel succinctly summarises:
We have a piece of cloth and it leads us to a mysterious gate which opens for us, and it lets us see a completely different world, an extraordinary world with extraordinary laws.
Consider these claims by reading those articles and watching this 19 minute of extracts from the DVD The Fabric of Time (with its own lead-in trailer). There’s also a discussion of her scientific opinion at In Case You Missed Isabel Piczek’s Wonderful Paper.
‘Coincidentally”, just after having read the last link and revised the preceding references to science (post published 5 years ago), I’m alerted to theoretical physicist Mehki’s new post on ‘black holes’ and ‘event horizons’ (see Looking to the Horizon). The discussion thread has a valuable contribution from ‘physicalrealityblog’ that’s pertinent to the Shroud site’s discussion of Dame Isabel’s analysis and indirectly reconnects it back into quantum physics! 2017: ‘Coincidentally’ amusing that bloggers ‘hidden’ on opposite sides of the world (Britain and New Zealand) were preparing items on the fabrics that Jesus Christ was buried with – the full-body shroud and the head linen – in Joseph of Arimathea’s private tomb. My post updated on Wed 12 April 2017 was scheduled on Thurs 13th for auto-publication Sun 16 April. On Good Friday 14 April Joanne Rolston published news of the ‘Sudarium’ in AB-solute Proof – The Blood That Speaks.
Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.” (Matthew 20:17-19, NKJV)
Upon reading the above BibleGateway’s Verse of the Day on the first weekend this month, I was struck immediately by two apparently unrelated verses:
Jerusalem being trampled down until the Gentiles’ ‘Day’ is fulfilled (Luke 21:24)
with the Lord 1 day is as 1,000 years, and 1,000 years as 1 day (2 Peter 3:8).
And right away came an insight connecting all the verses and which may indicate Jesus was not only predicting His trial, death and resurrection, but also implying the time that would elapse until His, as yet unannounced, return in full glory as King of Kings!
That is, on the first day He’d be tried by the Jewish authorities who’d then hand Him over to the ruling Gentile power for execution. Thereafter, the Jews would regard Him as dead and gone but Romans guard His corpse on and from the second day. In other words, the Jewish people relinquished their connection to Jesus as Messiah but Gentiles had supervision of His body – not only in the natural but also the spiritual body! Also, Jews would lose all connection with Jerusalem and their land of Judea after the holy city is destroyed and the people driven into exile across the Roman empire, and remain so for two ‘Days’.
Thus, their holy capital would be ‘trampled upon’ by non-Jewish peoples until the modern state of Israel was born in 1948 and Jerusalem later captured during war with surrounding nations, and brought into Israel in 1967 Anno Domini – ie. in the 2nd millennium since Christ, or ‘Day 2’
Thus, I perceived an intriguing contrast as possibly alluding to the rise of the Church over ‘2 Days’, as indicating 2,000 actual years of church growth and predominance until the dispersed Jews return to their homeland, become a nation and inhabit and rule in Jerusalem.
Moreover, as 2,000 AD marked the start of the third millennium then we are now at the beginning of ‘Day 3’ – ie figuratively at its ‘dawn’. That was when Mary Magdalene and her friends visited the tomb only to discover Jesus’ corpse was missing – BUT THEN he appeared to her ALIVE and spoke to her! An utterly awesome moment.
So, I was strongly impressed that this numerical equivalence is pointing to the possible repeat of Jesus’ Presence drawing very close to and thus empowering His future Bride in our time, preparing us for His actual return in person, as promised and prophesied.
CONFIRMATION
On Monday 4th April we attended the inaugural meeting of the Hants-Surrey area hub of the New Carmel Prophets, as announced herein and foretold by Veronika West. In his brief introductory speech Revd Yinka Oyekan drew attention to our normal concept of time being very different to God’s and how it functions in the heavenly realms.
Therefore, it was most encouraging to hear this ‘God-incidence’ very soon after having such a peculiar notion drop into my mind about the possibility of Jesus having hinted at the duration of time before His return in all His Holy Glory.
Meanwhile, may you and your dear ones have a thoroughly blessed ‘Good’ Friday, Passover and Resurrection weekend and holiday Monday. I trust the special posts scheduled for publication will be of inspirational interest…
After publication of the previous with poster I received an interesting reaction from our sister Veronika West as she’s just seen the parallel and saying…”This certainly comes as a confirmation and furthermore a true manifestation of that Word”…”TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!”
AND as I got a very clear sense of having previously seen myself replying to her in the exact words I used – or was I in a borderline state of tiredness? – I’m sure she’s correct that this activity confirms what the Lord so unexpectedly gave her overnight in Reading, as published in the link below: –
One Voice Prophecy Conference, Reading, 8th February 2020
The LORD said to me in a dream “How long, United Kingdom, are you going to falter between two opinions?”
Elijah went before the people saying, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him. But if he is Baal, follow him.” (1Kings 18:21)
And we know what happened; there was a showdown. Elijah called for an altar to be built and filled its moat with water, and the prophets of Baal built an altar and they called upon their gods…Elijah began to mock them saying, “You’re going to have to call a little louder!”
(1:02mark) Then Elijah does something: He says one word and God sent his fire. And in this dream, I heard the Spirit of God say this (which is also a powerful proclamation):
“Get ready, get ready! For the stage is set, for a Spiritual Showdown is about to take place in this land! Watch! For now I am raising up a remnant that will Roar with a call for the rebuilding and the restoration of the broken-down Altars in this land.
(1:53) Listen! For a sound is beginning to arise from the ground of this prodigal nation. A sound of weeping and wailing will once again be heard, as the call to come to the altar returns to the land. Now, watch and pray and pay close attention, for a remnant mantled with the spirit of Elijah is rising in this land – one who will begin to roar, causing a Prodigal Nation to come back to its senses. A nation that was lost will turn, return and be reformed! Listen! Now is the time to repair and rebuild the torn-down altars in this nation.“Continue reading →
PS 1st May: NB : PROPHECY Re. “MAY” TIME & TRUMP >
Further to the previous posts on these difficult days I just love ‘Now’ words relating to their being in Father’s Timing, as in my first email of 13 years ago on hearing ALL Bible prophecy “is about to be fulfilled!” Chris posted this yesterday, emphases mine:
THE TIME IS NOW
This is not a new prophecy but confirmation of everything I’ve been hearing these last three days. Yes, these past three days I’ve heard prophecy, I’ve heard God speaking, I’ve heard so much about ‘suddenly’, and ‘turn around’, but what stands out is the one phrase – “The Time is Now”. The great RE-SET, God’s Great RE-SET, is upon us.
Now, when I heard this, I hesitated. I asked the Lord to confirm this as I don’t want to bring another false hope to people who have had one false hope after another given to them with barely perceptible movement either way. But the Lord confirmed this with three phrases, spoken to me today as I waited upon Him. Continue reading →
‘Dear Richard, At last I have managed to finish part 5 of the study articles on Revelation. One of those cases where making it short is far more difficult than writing it as a tome!! At one stage it was 19 pages, so I changed the whole approach. It can’t be long now before the New World Order reveals its plans in a way that leaves nothing to the imagination – we couldn’t live in more exciting and what are more clearly “end-times”.’
I have seen and experienced in The Realm of The Spirit, a pushing and a pulling, like strong and powerful birthing contractions, over Nations. As I have been in travail, I have been shown the Destiny of those Nations, now entering into what I can only describe as, ”A Narrow Place.” (I see it unfolding in the deeper realm and dimensions of The Spirit….’NATIONS ARE MOVING THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE’)
This is not a new prophecy but confirmation of everything I’ve been hearing these last three days. Yes, these past three days I’ve heard prophecy, I’ve heard God speaking, I’ve heard so much about ‘suddenly’, and ‘turn around’, but what stands out is the one phrase – “The Time is Now”. The great RE-SET, God’s Great RE-SET, is upon us.
