On 15th November last year His Kingdom Prophecy published this Prophetic Word brought by Veronika West:
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…. Again I say, Watch and Pray, as the Battle over the Destiny of the United Kingdom rages, and as the Unity of the Four now hangs in the balance…. Look… and Look again to Scotland for Signs will come, for a Once Great and United Kingdom now stands on the threshold of even greater Chaos and Division. For did I not say, “She shall turn her face from the Winds of My Grace, and stripped naked she shall Stand before the Eyes of all Nations — for the Thistle shall no longer grow in the Garden with the Rose?”

This wasn’t just another bad day at the office. This was a 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 — live, on the floor of Parliament.
As Nigel Farage put it, this belongs in the same category as Britain’s last truly seismic scandal.
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘶𝘮𝘰.
That was 𝟔𝟎+ 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨. And this may be bigger.
Why? Because this isn’t about gossip.
It’s about 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬.
It’s about 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭-𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
It’s about 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐜𝐭.
And it all detonated at Prime Minister’s Questions.
The Leader of the Opposition asked the simplest question imaginable:
”𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘑𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘺 𝘌𝘱𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯?”
Twice, the Prime Minister dodged.
On the third attempt, he 𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡.
And that’s when everything unravelled.
He promised to release the Mandelson appointment files — then immediately started carving out exclusions:
National security.
International relations.
Trade.
Intelligence.
The list kept growing.
And MPs — including his own benches — smelled a cover-up.
The turning point came with one devastating demand:
“𝘐𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥.”
The Prime Minister refused.
Then he stormed out.
But the drama didn’t stop there.
Angela Rayner — a giant inside Labour — backed the call for independent oversight.
And within 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬, the government 𝐜𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐝.

The ISC will now decide what MPs — and the public — get to see.
And that’s the part that should terrify Downing Street.

History may remember this as the moment the dam broke.
The day Labour lost control of the narrative — and maybe the government.’
Now, in reaction to contrary opinions across churches in America, Britain and Europe, the Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson offers his excellent point on his Facebook, and which he’d drafted before Donald Trump began his second term as President:
“In the press gaggle following today’s vote, I was asked to defend the Biblical case for border security and immigration enforcement. I did so, and then promised to post a longer explanation that I drafted during the Biden Administration (emphasis RB). Here it is, and I hope it’s helpful.:
Despite the insistence of the progressive Left, people of all religious faiths should support a strong national border—and Christians CERTAINLY should. Critics are fond of citing particular Bible verses out of context to claim that Christians and Jews are being “unfaithful” if we oppose their radical open borders agenda. It has become increasingly important for us to set this record straight.
Perhaps the verse most often cited by the Left is Leviticus 19:34. Whether they know it or not, that passage happens to be from the instructions Moses delivered to the Israelites when they were on their journey through the wilderness in Sinai, before they reached their own Promised Land.
The verse reads as follows: “But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.” (KJV)
CONTEXT IS CRITICAL
It is, of course, a central premise of Judeo-Christian teaching that strangers should be treated with kindness and hospitality. We are each called to love God first and to love our neighbors as ourselves (Deut. 6:5, Lev. 19:18, Matt. 22:36-40, KJV). However, that “Greatest Commandment” was never directed to the government, but to INDIVIDUAL believers.
The Bible teaches that God ordained and created four distinct spheres of authority— (1) the individual, (2) the family, (3) the church, and (4) civil government—and each of these spheres is given different responsibilities. For example, while each INDIVIDUAL is accountable for his or her own behavior (e.g., Exodus 20), the FAMILY is commanded to “bring up children in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Eph. 6:4) and “provide for their relatives” (1 Tim. 5:8). The CHURCH is commanded to make disciples and equip people for the work of the ministry (Eph. 4:11-13), and the CIVIL GOVERNMENT is established to faithfully uphold and enforce the law so that order can be maintained in this fallen world, crime can be kept at bay, and people can live peacefully (Rom. 13, 1 Tim. 2:1-2).
To be properly understood, anytime a command is given in Scripture, one must first determine to WHOM that command is directed. For example, when Jesus taught us as His followers to practice mercy and forgiveness and to “turn the other cheek” (Matt. 5:38-40, KJV), He was not giving that command to the government. To the contrary, when government officials ignore crime, they are directly VIOLATING their responsibilities before God.
Indeed, the civil authorities are specifically charged to do justice, to ”bear the sword,” and to serve as “the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil” (Rom. 13:1-4, KJV). As the Bible warns: “When a crime is not punished quickly, people feel it is safe to do wrong.” (Ecc. 8:11, TLB)
Read in its context, the passage in Leviticus 19 makes perfect sense. Showing love and kindness to a stranger was not a command given to civil government, but instead to individual believers. That same principle is emphasized in the New Testament. When Jesus spoke of embracing, caring, and providing for “the least of these” (E.g., Matt. 25:31-40), His instruction was given to His disciples, and not the local authorities.
The Bible is clear that Christians should practice personal charity—but also insist upon the enforcement of laws (like our federal immigration statutes) so that “every person is subject to the governing authorities” and “those who resist incur judgment” (Romans 13:1-2).
BORDERS ARE BIBLICAL
Many on the Left today, and even some at the highest levels of our government, consider themselves “globalists” who envision a utopian world order where there are no borders between countries at all. Their fantasy will simply never be realized, and their basic premise (that man is inherently good and perfectible on his own) is the opposite of the Biblical truth that man is fallen and in need of redemption that is available only through salvation in Jesus Christ.
The Bible speaks favorably and consistently about distinct nations of people (see, e.g., Gen. 18:18, Num. 32:17, Psalm 67:2, Matt. 28:19, Rev. 5:9, 7:9, NIV), and about borders and walls that are built to guard and secure people, property, and jurisdictions (see, e.g., Deut. 19:14, 27:17, 32:8, Acts 17:26, NIV). When Nehemiah heroically led the Jewish remnant to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem after their enemies had destroyed those walls, he was doing the noble work of God (Neh. 1-6, NIV).
Maintaining a secure border is not an offensive measure, but a wise, defensive one to prevent chaos and safeguard innocent life. As Rev. Franklin Graham once summarized, “Why do you lock your doors at night? Not because you hate the people on the outside, but because you love the people on the inside so much.”
THE CURRENT CATASTROPHE
Right now, because of 64 deliberate policy choices and executive orders of the Biden Administration, America is facing an unprecedented humanitarian and national security catastrophe at our open southern border. More than 10 million illegal aliens from around the world have entered the U.S. since Joe Biden became President, the majority of whom are single, military-aged men. Among them are countless violent criminals and more than 300 suspects on the terrorist watchlist. Cartels are making billions trafficking young women and unaccompanied minors, and many are suffering unspeakable abuses along the way. The Fentanyl that China and the cartels have pushed into the U.S. has become the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18-45.
As the peril increases and communities across our country become more and more overwhelmed with the crushing financial burdens of managing the influx of illegals, American citizens (and even a few Democratic governors and mayors) are finally demanding a return to sanity. America has always been a haven for people legitimately seeking asylum from danger in their home country, but we must insist they pursue a course of legal immigration and not simply ignore our laws.
Of course, the President of the United States must be the first to uphold our laws. Every citizen should insist that President Biden immediately use the eight broad statutory authorities he has right now to secure our borders and stop incentivizing illegal immigration. Among his most important executive authorities is 8 U.S.C. 1182(f), which empowers a President to “suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate” if he “finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.”
AN AUTHENTIC CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
Due in large part to our Judeo-Christian foundations and the deep religious heritage we enjoy in this country, America is the most benevolent nation in the world — by far. However, we cannot maintain that strength and generosity if we surrender our own safety and sovereignty. Preserving law and order and securing our borders should not be partisan issues, but matters of common sense. These are certainly responsibilities fully authorized by the Bible — and expected of us by God.
Any time liberals attempt to bolster their “open borders” agenda by citing Scripture out of context, they should be kindly corrected with the facts (2 Tim. 2:24-25). Christians are called to love unconditionally, serve selflessly, and defend the defenseless. We are also called to stand for, and work to ensure, just government. Justice and mercy are not mutually exclusive pursuits. To the contrary, God specifically requires His people to practice both (Micah 6:8). Despite the unfounded claims of the Left, supporting a strong national border is a very Christian thing to do. The Bible tells us so.”
Further to End-times Briefing 23: Bible Prophecy on Anglican Apostasy of last October and its references to Sarah Mullally replacing Justin Welby, her ceremonial installation at St Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday came with a lone dissenting voice, as reported at Maranatha Express (Facebook) in two posts on Saturday:
‘A Shouted Dissent: Priest Removed After Protesting Historic Appointment
A landmark ceremony was interrupted on Wednesday when a priest loudly objected to the confirmation of Dame Sarah Mullally as the 113th—and first female—Archbishop of Canterbury.
Moments after an official declared “no objections” to the appointment, Rev. Paul Williamson, 77, shouted his dissent. A longstanding opponent of female clergy, Williamson was escorted from Canterbury Cathedral as proceedings paused.
The protest was not unprecedented. In 2015, Williamson voiced the same objection—”Not in the Bible”—during the consecration of Rev. Libby Lane as the first woman bishop in the Church of England.
Mullally’s appointment symbolizes a profound shift for the Anglican Communion. A former nurse, hospital executive, and Bishop of London, she is known as a progressive voice who supports LGBTQ+ inclusion and women’s reproductive rights.
Today’s disruption lays bare the continuing struggle within global Anglicanism between reform and tradition—a tension now centered in its most historic seat of authority.’
He was removed for saying what many believe: “A female bishop is not found in the Bible.”
📅 The Protest: This past Wednesday, January 28th, Rev. Paul Williamson was escorted from Canterbury Cathedral after shouting his objection during the historic confirmation of Dame Sarah Mullally as Archbishop.
🎙️ The Interview: In a revealing interview, the 77-year-old priest expanded on the biblical conviction behind his disruptive protest.
✝️ On Female Bishops:
“I felt a marker should be put down to say clearly… that a female bishop is not found in the Bible… The Lord Jesus Christ made a very deliberate choice… We cannot turn around and say it is wrong.”
🔄 On Church Evolution:
“Things had evolved. Surely the church should evolve like that? …We cannot turn around… and say that it is wrong.”
📉 On Female Leadership & Growth:
“They have not filled the churches. That is a fact.”
⚖️ On Gender Roles:
“God created male and female… They have different things to do in his design and we can’t swap it over. Motherhood and priesthood are not things that could be changed around.”
🔇 On Being “An Isolated Voice”:
“That is what the media wish to say… A lot of ordinary people have walked out of church because they’re fed up with it.”
This interview lays bare the profound theological and cultural rift at the heart of the Church of England’s modern identity—a clash between historical tradition and progressive change, where scripture, society, and authority are all in dispute.’
‘Donald Trump has backtracked on claims British troops stayed away from the front line in Afghanistan after anger over his “appalling” comments. In a statement on Truth Social the US president said that British troops were “among the greatest of all warriors” and were “GREAT and very BRAVE”.
He added that the bond between the British and American military was “too strong ever to be broken”.
Mr Trump issued the statement hours after Sir Keir Starmer confronted him directly on the phone over his comments about British military staff….’
BUT Keir Starmer’s history of is FAR, FAR worse with his personal involvement in the prosecution and betrayal of British troops – Lord please help him:
Then 3 days later this from the Daily Mail of 7th December captured on my Facebook:
UK – BBC LIES
US – ELECTIONS EXPOSURE
Evangelist Kaden Pody’s entry of 1 December on Facebook reads:
‘I’m not a Republican and I’m not a Democrat — because there’s wickedness on both sides. But the Bible says everything done in darkness will be exposed.
And right now, that exposure is happening.
Stephen Miller just said something heavy: “The Democrat Party, via the Biden-Harris administration, devised a scheme to import illegal aliens by the millions — granting them parole, work permits, Social Security numbers, access to voting booths, and hooking them on government dependency — all for the purpose of influencing U.S. elections and ultimately overthrowing the Constitutional Republic.”
Whether you agree with him or not, here’s the spiritual reality:
When nations reject God, corruption multiplies. When leaders pursue power more than righteousness, systems start decaying. When governments manipulate people for control, it’s no longer politics — it’s spiritual warfare.
The enemy always uses chaos, deception, and lawlessness to position his agenda.
But the Bible says: “For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.” — Luke 8:17 (NKJV)
This isn’t about parties. This isn’t about left or right. This is about a nation being shaken — and God exposing every hidden plan.
Continuing our monitoring of the exposures of political rot in the UK, I’m amused upon digging out Veronika’s prophetic word to put as ‘sticky post’ atop the blog’s home page, to see the occurrences of my birthday (22) and childhood house (212) numbers, per Visitation Validations at 15:22 just before capturing this screen:
‘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!”
On hearing those Words, I began to pray fervently for The Nation, and then I heard The Spirit say,”In the time of those kings, The God of Heaven will set up a Kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms, and bring them to an end. But it will itself endure forever!”
I immediately recognised that verse from The Book of Daniel — Daniel 2:44….’
PROPHECY PROGRESS – click Search ‘Truss’ and scroll post-2022 for updates. TODAY’s NEWS:
I understand the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) had given the Chancellor of the Exchequer a paper showing there was no ‘black hole’ in Britain’s finances before she announced the Budget. Nevertheless, she launched a Budget widely increasing taxation on the grounds of needing to fill that hole, according to her calculations.
Prime Minister Starmer is supporting her and the latest news is the resignation of the OBR chairman Richard Hughes.
Upon reading comments upon our inter-church men’s breakfast Bible group on the developing peace proposal to close the 3 years-old war, I got ‘nudged’ to check the historian I’ve occasionally re-blogged, Dr Pat Walsh, and found this informative, independent confirmation of his coverage of the Ukraine-Russia war.
This 10-pages long-read gives readers a solid summary of real events from an international monitor’s on-the-ground experience enabling him to confront an official cover-up!
‘The Western narrative is clear about this question: The Ukraine war began with the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Alternatively, it began with the Russian takeover of Crimea in 2014.
It is seldom admitted that the present conflict in Ukraine actually began with the Maidan coup of 2014, organised and supported by elements acting on behalf of the United States, in conjunction with far-right Ukrainian nationalists. That fact is in the public record through Victoria Nuland and WikiLeaks.
Another thing that is seldom mentioned since February 2022 is that Kyiv’s effort to repress or drive out the Russian Ukrainians of Donbass between 2014 and 2022, was the primary driver of the conflict, resulting in the launching of the Russian intervention.
Now Benoit Paré, a French military analyst with the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), who worked for the Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMMU) within the developing conflict in Ukraine between 2015 and 2022, makes it clear where the blame lies. This is contained in a newly translated book, What I Saw in Ukraine, 2015-2022, Diary of an International Monitor.
Paré describes how, having set the course toward conflict within Ukraine as a means of luring Russian forces into the country, Washington put all its efforts into frustrating any attempts at a settlement. This left the Russians with a choice between preventative but costly intervention or accepting a humanitarian disaster of the Russian population of the Donbass and Kyiv gaining NATO Article 5 immunity for its actions.
Paré began his time in Ukraine with the standard Western understanding of the Ukraine conflict.
During the course of the conflict, prior to the Russian SMO, Paré interviewed hundreds of people from all corners of Donbass, and from Odessa and Lviv, “frequenting the opposing camps of an extremely polarized country.” Few people, even among Ukrainians, had been able to learn as much as the foreigner Paré did about “the grey areas of Ukraine.” He had access to many confidential files, denied even to his OSCE colleagues.
Disturbed by the media narrative he was reading, being presented by Western politicians and the media, Paré, who personally observed events on the ground, decided he needed to tell the truth from his accumulated, first-hand knowledge of the situation. He was aware that his revelations would mean he would “probably never again be able to work in my original professional environment.” But he determined, nonetheless, that: “Truth was his only compass” in writing the book.
He was also encouraged by the return of President Trump to the White House and signals that there might be a movement toward ending the conflict. He had become convinced that the conflict had been primarily driven by the Biden administration and Trump had not been as enthusiastic about it. In such circumstances the return of Trump meant that the truth would be more palatable than during the period of war hysteria and lies.
Benoit Paré’s book begins with the beginnings of the conflict, which took place prior to his arrival in the country during 2014 and early 2015. In brief, the Yanukovych Government, had bargained between the EU and Russia about its economic future. It was faced with a dilemma. If it linked itself with Russia, its economic development could continue without basic alteration. If it went to the EU, its industrial economy would be decimated, and it would be deprived of the favourable trading links it had already established with Russia. It put itself on offer to the EU for a sum that would compensate for the loss of industries that would not be viable in the EU and for the loss of subsidised energy from Russia. When the EU would not meet its terms, it turned back to Russia and the EU went frantic with rage over the rejection. Its representatives went to Kiev, made propaganda, and helped to build barricades in the centre of the city, around Maidan…’ Click to continue reading in full
‘..The occupation of the central square in Kiev, Maidan, began immediately. Fortifications were built in it and it became a site of pilgrimage for Western democracy. EU personnel went to Kiev in order to enhance the demonstrations into insurrection. Washington poured money in and took control of the insurrection…’
‘…when Professor Ivan Katchanovski of Ottawa University analysed the 2 hours of video, he found that the angle of fire revealed that the shooting that killed many demonstrators came not from the police but from a hotel occupied by far-Right Ukrainian nationalist snipers. The evidence was revealed to a wider evidence in Oliver Stone’s Ukraine on Fire film…’
Benoit Paré writes:
“The importance of this event must be fully appreciated. Without the Maidan massacre, Yanukovych would probably not have been overthrown. There would have been no anti-maidan movement in the Russian speaking areas of Ukraine. Russia would not have felt the need to appendix Crimea to protect its naval base at Sebastopol. There would have been no uprisings in the Donbass, no anti-terrorist operation by the Ukrainian army, and therefore no special Russian military operation in 2022. It is all linked, and it all starts with the false-banner massacre on Maidan Square, which set Ukraine on fire, sending it into a downward spiral of death.” (p.172)
Wheels-within-wheels as they churn around back to my first posting’s reference to the MI5 Director’s prediction of Britain “sleep-walking into a police state”:
In I know a way to destroy the woke Blob – but you won’t like it, he writes ‘…First, although not all these cases (recent, RB) led to prosecutions, all have a chilling effect on free speech. At the very least, they are a spectacular waste of police time. Every copper on the Isle of Wight tied up with investigating whether Kung Fu Fighting is a hate crime is not rounding up escapees from Parkhurst.
Second, all these cases date from before 2012, when police and crime commissioners (PCCs) were introduced. Now that Labour says it will abolish PCCs and give their powers to a combination of mayors and local committees, it is worth reminding ourselves of why they were created in the first place. Democracy was supposed to constrain the wokery of our chief constables. We didn’t call it wokery back then, of course. We would speak instead of “political correctness”. But you get the point.
In the event, the idea never caught on. Turnout at PCC elections was typically below 25 per cent, and as a consequence, many PCCs were recycled party hacks from the old police authorities. Nothing really changed.’
His conclusion for solving the problem is for we citizens to step up to the plate:
‘We need to put ourselves forward more often, whether as parish councillors or school governors, and challenge the consensus of the Blob. A democracy, as the old chestnut has it, gets the leaders it deserves. This is everyone’s responsibility.’
So it was very good to read a most positive reader’s letter about our very own county from Dale Fletcher in Gosport: “In Hampshire and the Isle of Wight we have Donna Jones, an exceptionally good PCC, who on our behalf has rigorously held successive chief constables to account, and commissioned some ground-breaking resident-led crime prevention and detection services. She has a great reputation for action and accountability – and, fortunately for us, is likely to go on to be our regional mayor.”

APPALLING, UNJUSTIFIED ARREST
‘Police have agreed to pay two parents £20,000 in compensation after they were wrongly arrested for complaining about their daughter’s school in a private WhatsApp group.
Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine said they feel “vindicated” by the force’s admission of unlawful arrest, having been detained by six police officers at their home in front of their young daughter.
But the couple, who were held for 11 hours after they criticised Cowley Hill Primary School in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, in January, said they had now lost trust in the police.
Having questioned the couple on suspicion of harassment, malicious communications and causing a nuisance on school property, Hertfordshire Constabulary ruled that no further action should be taken after a five-week investigation.’
It admitted it was wrong to arrest the couple and has agreed to pay them £10,000 each in compensation…’
I was most impressed on Friday evening upon hearing the Evangelical Alliance’s CEO Gavin Calver’s interview and address, ‘Having Confidence in the Gospel in our Cultural Landscape’
Gavin spoke at length upon the very considerable legal protection within the UK to speak freely about Jesus Christ and all topics affecting freedom of conscience and belief, as published in the EA’s excellent booklet Speak Up [DOWNLOAD HERE]
“A lively and legally informed route map for courteous and competent Christian contention.” – His Honour Judge David Turner QC, Circuit Judge Contents, Page No.:

What Does The Law Say?
‘The strength of the legal protection to speak freely about Jesus Christ and all topics affecting freedom of conscience and belief is very considerable indeed.
Freedom to share, discuss and debate religious beliefs has benefited from legal protection for many centuries. The protection that exists today covers the spoken word and written publications, including online content. It ranges from protecting a street preacher, to allowing a billboard displaying Bible verses, to ensuring a conversation in a home can occur without inhibition.
The protection is found in the principles of the common law, in domestic legislation like the Public Order Act 1986 and in European legislation – principally the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) which was incorporated into British law by the Human Rights Act 1998. The 2016 referendum on membership of the EU does not affect the UK’s status as a signatory to the ECHR.
Articles 9 and 10 of the ECHR (see facing page) are now the primary source of protection for Christians wanting to share the gospel of Jesus in many different situations, although there are other laws and statutes which are also relevant.
This is not to say that there are no restrictions or limitations, however, and some of the qualifications that exist are outlined in this resource, but in general, you have a lot more freedom than you may think.’
Therefore, the harassment of street preaching shared last Monday on my Facebook, as shown herein, is likely to be another instance of illegal police action!
To watch Gavin’s speech, play from 37 minutes mark (apologies for poor image).
Further my very first email citing MI5’s Dame Stella Rimington’s 2009 warning of the UK becoming a police state and my asking on Monday if BBC’s debacle may be heralding the Lord’s moving in the UK to expose and clear out rot and corruption, we have this welcome news today:
However, we have yet another episode of deliberate police activity against preaching, which I first read on Anglican Presbyter Revd Canon Brett Murphy’s Facebook where he remarks, “Turning adversity into a gospel opportunity! Nicely done”:
I modified my original “same death encounter with Jesus as I had” because it’s not to be construed by atheists as threatening, but is meant to make readers think very seriouslyabout their own post-mortem future.
Suddenly knowing, as I did, that within the next second I’d drop dead and fall into hell when Jesus’ powerful glory approached was frightening! BUT in His gracious mercy He took me back to my early years’ home to change my childish false idea about Him. So it was very loving compared with my long-past encounter with a ‘devourer’ masquerading as cosmic light of nirvana!
So my statement is to shock readers in order to convey a sense of reality of being about to die and necessity of being prepared for what’s next – so it is really a BLESSING, in contrast to suppression of free-speech!
“I AM making them accountable by lighting the fire where the snakes were hidden. They shall now be seen and they shall no longer bite My Children!”
As I was praying for The Nation, I saw the letters of the BBC, and the C became a Q. “BBQ”.
As I took it to prayer, I had an image of an old man with a white beard in robes sitting on a big stone.
The imagery I sensed was of Moses sitting on a stone as Aaron and Hur held up his arms whilst the battle with the Amalekites was raging.
I have been led by The Holy Spirit for several years to decree over The Media, and to bring down those who twist The Truth, use propaganda, and have their own agenda of what will be seen and what will not be seen.
I believe The LORD is saying that the BBC and other media outlets that have dominated the platform in News, are coming to a reckoning.
I believe The LORD is showing me at least one of the spirits behind these major platforms is the Amalekite spirit.
“Amalek” means ‘to twist, squeeze, or compress’.
“To twist,” is to change information so that it gives the message you want it to give in a way that is dishonest.
The Amalekites attacked in weakness, in vulnerability, unexpectedly and viciously. They often attacked indirectly as they did when King David was weary from fighting, hence they abducted his family rather than attack him.
The Amalekite spirit is still around, we are not to be deceived in this.
Moses had to keep his hands up to have the upper hand in the battle from leaving Egypt, and when he wearied, the Amalekites were winning. They would pick off the infirm and weak who lagged behind the procession.
We are to have no preference or fleshly agenda.
We are asked to Pray for those who are preyed on whether seemingly innocent or guilty. (Deuteronomy 32:35, Romans 12:9)
The Amalekite spirit attacks by setting up and drawing on feelings that will bring fear, confusion, doubt, depression, trauma and in fighting with family members.
This confusion, fear and trauma is being broadcast into every home.
These news channels are literally channels that carry a demonic agenda.
They have no accountability but The LORD says, “I AM making them accountable by putting them on the Fire where the snakes were hidden, they shall now be seen and they shall no longer bite My Children!”
“It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says The LORD.” Romans 12:9.
“Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; their foot shall slip in due time; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things to come hasten upon them.”Deuteronomy 32:35.
RB: BBQ is an abbreviation for barbeque on which the Lord is burning demonic snakes; yet at another level the use of ‘Q’ may allude to President Trump being regarded as the source of ‘Q-anon’, as in occasion previous postings.
Islamic commentators believe that the Amalekites were an ancient Arabian tribe, with some historical accounts suggesting they were among the first to leave Babylon after the confusion of languages and that they settled in regions including Yemen and the Hijaz, exerting influence over areas such as Mecca and Medina. According to Islamic historical sources like Tabari, Ibn Athir, and Ibn Sa’d, the Amalekites are traced back through the lineage of Noah to Sam, then to Luz (Lud), and finally to Amalek, making them part of the pure Arab tribes. They are credited with being the first to speak the Arabic language after the linguistic dispersion at Babel. These sources also claim that the Amalekites ruled over Mecca for about a thousand years, even during the time of Abraham and Ishmael, and that Ishmael married an Amalekite woman. The Amalekites are said to have influenced various regions in Arabia, from San’a in the south to Medina in the north, and their presence is linked to figures such as Shu’ayb, whose father married an Amalekite woman. Some Islamic traditions even suggest that early Egyptian kings, such as Narmer (Menes), may have been of Amalekite descent. However, the Quran distinguishes between rulers like the “Malik” (king), who are portrayed as just, and “Firawn” (Pharaoh), who is depicted as tyrannical, particularly in the context of Moses’ story. The Amalekites are also described as having been supplanted by the Ishmaelites in Mecca, though their paganism is said to have negatively influenced the monotheistic Ishmaelites, including their practices related to the Kaaba.
From today’s Daily Telegraph and Amir Tsarfati’s Behold Israel Telegram channel:
‘The Embassy of Israel in the United Kingdom takes note of the resignations of BBC Director-General Tim Davie and BBC News CEO Deborah Turness. These resignations come in the wake of serious and long-standing concerns about the BBC’s biased and deeply flawed coverage of Israel, particularly during the war against Hamas.
For years, we have repeatedly warned about the BBC’s consistent failures to uphold the standards of accuracy, impartiality, and integrity expected from a public broadcaster. The BBC’s reporting, especially by BBC Arabic, has too often distorted reality, omitted vital context, and provided a platform for antisemitic and extremist narratives. This failure has contributed to public misinformation, hostility towards Israel and Jewish people, and, tragically, to the radicalisation of audiences in the UK and across the Middle East.
We hope that this moment will serve as a turning point. The BBC must seize this opportunity to restore public trust by ensuring fair, factual, and balanced coverage of Israel and the Middle East. Accountability and transparency must replace denial and defensiveness.
We call for full accountability for those responsible for the editorial failings of BBC Arabic and for full reform to ensure that its future reporting meets the standards expected of the BBC.
Israel values the role of a free and responsible press. It is our sincere hope that, under new leadership, the BBC will recommit itself to those principles and rebuild a relationship with its audiences, based on truth, integrity, and respect.’
‘Tim Davie’s resignation is not a mystery ..it is a reckoning.
When the BBC, the nation’s public broadcaster, edits the words of a world leader, it ceases to report events and begins to manufacture them. At that moment, impartiality becomes illusion.
For years, audiences have seen the pattern: selective framing, loaded emphasis, and a quiet shaping of narrative behind the veil of neutrality. The Panorama edit merely brought it into daylight. What the BBC once denied, it now concedes that truth was bent to fit the story.
This isn’t about ideology. It’s about integrity. A public broadcaster exists to present reality as it is, not as it wishes it to appear.
When the facts are cut and rearranged, trust is the first casualty and with trust gone, leadership cannot stand.
Davie’s resignation is not closure; it is Exhibit A in the case for reform.
The next chapter will decide whether the BBC rediscovers its purpose or forfeits it forever.
You cannot edit the truth and still claim to tell it and that, in the end, is why he’s gone.’
Friends, you may be interested in a mass of news relating to the prophesied Exposures of Corruption posted on this blog’s ‘noticeboard’ at Richard’s Watch Telegram channel. If you don’t have Telegram platform the preceding link gives an option to ‘Preview’ channel.

BRITAIN AT THE BRINK: A PROPHETIC WARNING TO A SLEEPING CHURCH
The pressure in our nation is rising like a boiling pot, ready to overflow. Britain stands at the brink — morally, spiritually, and socially — yet many within the Church seem unaware of how perilously close we are to collapse. History is repeating ppp. Meanwhile, the world around us unravels. Lies are sold as truth, and truth is dismissed as hate. The media reframes evil with politically correct language, while the Church remains silent. In this vacuum, dark ideologies have taken root — ideologies that exalt humanism and deny divine order. Politicians and institutions uphold these systems even at the expense of human life, and the Church’s absence from the public square has allowed terrible evils to advance unchecked.
God is no longer in our politics, our classrooms, or our law courts. Justice has become a game of imbalance — the innocent punished while the guilty are defended. The moral fabric of our society is tearing apart, and the signs are all around us. Violence erupts on our streets, lives are lost senselessly, and yet we are told to look away, to keep calm, to believe the narrative.
The problem is not merely social decay — it is spiritual abandonment. Christianity is no longer enshrined in our laws, no longer taught in our schools, and scarcely lived in our homes. We have traded truth for tolerance, holiness for comfort, and discipleship for slogans about “love” that deny accountability and repentance.
But all is not lost. God still has plans for this nation — plans to prosper, not to harm. Yet those plans hinge on repentance. Britain must return to the true and living God. If we do not, we will find ourselves ruled by false gods and foreign ideologies that know nothing of mercy or compassion.
It is time for the Church to awaken and take her rightful place once more — in education, in politics, in law, in the home, and above all, in the place of prayer. The Christian faith once built this nation and made it great; it is the only hope that can restore her again.
This is not merely a matter of philosophy or theology. It is a matter of numbers — of souls. The Gospel must again permeate every sphere of British life. There is no other answer, no other ideology, and no other saviour that can heal this land.
Our only hope is Jesus Christ. Our only foundation is His Word. And our only path forward is repentance and return.
A whistle-blower’s in-depth exposures take this blog full-circle on two topics, just like wheels within wheels of a train’s engine running at full-speed momentum….
As driver, let me recap parts of the journey since leaving the siding in 2009 after being briefed on the parable of the wheat and tares (The Endgame is now in play) and taking a practice-run in the Middle-East before stopping to take on passengers 14 years ago this month. In that first year we espied the BBC’s blatant bias against Israel (here, here, here,here and here) and cited BBC Watch (now CAMERA-UK); and in summation:.
Then travelling to America, in addition to monitoring Obama’s foreign policy we began to pay attention to his internal politics and 2016 election, when we sensed the Lord would be exposing its corruption, as well as political rot here and in the EU. This was soon to be validated and followed in-depth (now nearly 700 exposures) as Trump’s presidency encountered deep opposition with injunctions based upon now proven sedition.
Readers may recall my disdain of BBC as Brussels Broadcasting Club and as Britain’s Brainwashing Cult. Moreover, it supports and promulgates terrorist propaganda!
Now, this morning by way of ‘God-incidental’ confirmation on Facebook (video at PS)
Monday’s explosive news reported next, should not have surprised my subscribers or Telegram and Facebook friends who’d recall this blog’s extensive in-depth cover of the rally and march to the US Capitol on 6th January 2021.
But I hope it has shocked folk who’d swallowed mendacious MainStream Media lies hook, line and sinker. As ‘prince of the power of the air’ (Ephesians 2,2), satan had prompted many Christians to accept MSM pronouncements about Donald Trump and thus speak of him contemptuously, even whilst addressing congregations!
‘The BBC doctored a Donald Trump speech by making him appear to encourage the Capitol Hill riot, according to an internal whistleblowing memo seen by The Telegraph.
A Panorama programme, broadcast a week before the US election, “completely misled” viewers by showing the president telling supporters he was going to walk to the Capitol with them to “fight like hell”, when in fact he said he would walk with them“to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”.
The “mangled” footage was highlighted in a 19-page dossier on BBC bias, which was compiled by a recent member of the corporation’s standards committee and is now circulating in government departments.
The dossier said the programme made the US president “‘say’ things [he] never actually said” by splicing together footage from the start of his speech with something he said nearly an hour later.
It claimed senior executives and the BBC’s chairman had ignored and dismissed a string of serious complaints raised by the corporation’s own standards watchdog.
Donald Trump Jr, the president’s eldest son, accused the BBC of dishonesty and “fake news”.He reposted The Telegraph’s story on X, writing: “The FAKE NEWS ‘reporters’ in the UK are just as dishonest and full of s— as the ones here in America!!!!”
‘…The document raises serious questions about the culture at the BBC, how it affects impartiality and how managers including Tim Davie, the director-general, are accused of turning a blind eye to evidence of bias...’
…..‘Nigel Huddleston, the shadow culture secretary, said: “These are extremely concerning revelations that could seriously undermine the brand and reputation of the BBC. The BBC licence fee is justified on the basis of impartiality and trust.
“There can be no justification for this kind of deliberate manipulation and the spreading of misinformation. “This is not the first time that evidence of bias at the BBC has emerged, but it is one of the most stark and alarming examples to date.
“Licence-fee payers deserve an immediate explanation and apology from the BBC and a thorough investigation into this scandal must take place.”
The most damaging disclosures involve a one-hour Panorama special called ‘Trump: A Second Chance?’ that was broadcast in October last year.
As well as altering Mr Trump’s words, the documentary also showed flag-waving men marching on the Capitol in Washington DC on Jan 6 2021 after the president spoke, which “created the impression Trump’s supporters had taken up his ‘call to arms’”. In fact the footage, was shot before Mr Trump had even started speaking.
The report said Panorama’s “distortion of the day’s events” was so egregious that viewers would ask: “Why should the BBC be trusted, and where will this all end?”
When the issue was raised with managers, they “refused to accept there had been a breach of standards”.The report’s author then warned Samir Shah, the BBC chairman, of the “very, very dangerous precedent” set by Panorama but received no reply.’
…..‘Former BBC radio presenter Liz Kershaw said on X: “This is no surprise to me. I presented news and current affairs programmes on the BBC on four stations from 1993 to 2011. The biased groupthink among its journalists was outrageous and had to be fought and rebalanced every day.”
…..’The report on BBC bias was written by Michael Prescott, who spent three years as an independent external adviser to the broadcaster’s Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee (EGSC) before leaving the role in June….a former journalist who has worked in a series of corporate advisory roles, (Mr P ) said in a covering letter sent with his dossier, which is now circulating in Whitehall and has been seen by The Telegraph, that he had been moved to act because of his “despair at inaction by the BBC Executive when issues come to light”.
He sent the dossier to the BBC Board because repeated warnings to the EGSC were “dismissed or ignored”.
Mr Prescott wrote in the letter: “I departed [from the advisory role] with profound and unresolved concerns about the BBC…my view is that the Executive repeatedly failed to implement measures to resolve highlighted problems, and in many cases simply refused to acknowledge there was an issue at all.”
….’The hour-long Panorama special called ‘Trump: A Second Chance?’ was aired on Oct 28 last year.
Mr Prescott, one of two independent editorial advisers sitting on the BBC’s Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee at the time, watched the programme and was struck by its “distinctly anti-Trump stance”, with 10 Trump critics featured against just one supporter. [RB: Similarly as in US monitored by Sharyl Attkisson – below.]
He said he was “shocked” to discover there was no similar programme examining the record of Kamala Harris, Mr Trump’s presidential rival.
Mr Prescott raised concerns with the EGSC and David Grossman, the senior editorial adviser to the committee, was asked to review the programme…(he) “highlighted alarming concerns about how Panorama had edited Trump’s speech to his supporters” on Jan 6 2021.
Mr Prescott wrote: “Examining the charge that Trump had incited protesters to storm Capitol Hill, it turned out that Panorama had spliced together two clips from separate parts of his speech. This created the impression that Trump said something he did not and, in doing so, materially misled viewers.”
…(He) said in his report: “It was completely misleading to edit the clip in the way Panorama aired it.The fact that [Mr Trump] did not explicitly exhort supporters to go down and fight at Capitol Hill was one of the reasons there were no federal charges for incitement to riot.”
Gordon Rayner begins the Dossier’s next part of 12 pages,
The BBC’s Arabic news service chose to “minimise Israeli suffering” in the war in Gaza so it could “paint Israel as the aggressor”, according to an internal report by a whistle-blower.
Allegations made against Israel were “raced to air” without adequate checks, the memo says, suggesting either carelessness or “a desire always to believe the worst about Israel”.
BBC Arabic, which is funded partly by a grant from the Foreign Office, gave large amounts of space to statements from Hamas, making its editorial slant “considerably different” to the main BBC website even though it is supposed to reflect the same values, managers were warned.
The BBC also gave “unjustifiable weight” to Hamas claims about the death toll in Gaza, which are widely accepted to have been exaggerated for propaganda purposes, and incorrectly claimed the International Court of Justice had ruled that genocide was taking place.
Danny Cohen, the former director of BBC Television, said it was now clear that the BBC was “not safe” in the hands of its senior managers and they should “hang their heads in shame and resign”.’
‘Britain is facing a diplomatic and intelligence earthquake as Israel pulls its diplomatic, intelligence and security protection over Britain causing Lammy’s plane to Tel Aviv to turn round in mid-air and return to Heathrow.
Disgusted by Starmer’s, Lammy’s and other top British officials actions against Israel generally, and against Netanyahu personally, the Israeli Prime Minister said, “A nation that abandons its ally in its hour of need should not expect friendship in return.”
The British Government is waking up to the shock that it is now naked to foreign terror threats following Israel’s sudden withdrawal from historically protecting Britain from at least 17 planned terror attacks on British soil.
Israel feels itself betrayed by this British government.
Britain is now naked without critical Israeli cyber defense systems infrastructure valued at 12 Billion pounds Sterling and is now at high risk.
A former M16 Chief said this is Britain’s gravest foreign policy embarrassment since Suez as Starmer-Lammy crash from one anti-Israel diplomatic embarrassment to the next, leaving Israel no option but to say “Enough!”
WHEELS-within-wheels continue with Revd Christopher’s video message showing events really are happening as outlined 16 years ago in my very first email/blog The Endgame IS Now In Play of 29 February 2009. Therein I write,
‘However, (forbidding prayer for patients in hospital) is just one instance of the growing persecution of believers, principally through a policy supposedly promoting toleration but that’s now a tyrannical tool of intolerance – Equality & Diversity. There are other powers of suppression. Even the previous director of MI5 warns about UK sleep-walking into a police state … Rampant lawlessness now exists not only in society but also within legal authorities – laws not approved by Parliament – ‘snoop and snitch’ culture – correction punished and evil behaviour rewarded – ID cards and routine interception of email and phones – etc etc. Clearly, Banking isn’t the only thoroughly corrupt UK institution.’
Several posts herein plus more on my personal Facebook and blog’s Telegram feature on police activity and arrests turning the UK into a fascist farce, and ridiculed across the ‘pond’ at presidential level. AND PM Starmer has digital identity cards in the pipeline!
So, it’s most encouraging that some church leaders have started speaking out….
Please take time to watch this half-hour sermon and I’m grateful to Chris Wickland for kindly providing this summary of the heart of this most serious issue (emphases RB):
THE RISE OF THE FOURTH REICH – Chris Wickland
What I want to talk about today is what I call the rise of the Fourth Reich.
In Nazi Germany, there was the Third Reich. For those who don’t know, “Reich” means kingdom or empire. According to Hitler:
The First Reich was the Roman Empire.
The Second Reich was Germany in its heyday.
The Third Reich was Hitler’s attempt to bring Germany to global prominence, which led to terrible atrocities under the guise of progress and nationalism.
Watching it gave me chills because I saw parallels in Britain today. Initially, I thought the message was too strong, too much to share. But after recent events, it’s clear this is a time to speak, to challenge what’s happening.
In Bonhoeffer’s day, pastors were arrested for speaking the truth — 800 of them. How many pastors in Britain today would dare to speak the truth? Few, because reputation matters more than the cause of Christ.
A quote from the Daily Telegraph highlights current issues (RB: DT search results):
“The news that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are to be banned from attending Aston Villa’s Europa League match in Birmingham is perhaps the highest-profile example yet of two-tiered policing. This case lays bare an ugly truth about British policing in 2025.The police have chosen to afford different rights to different groups. Israelis—or Jews—have again been relegated to second-class status. Imagine if it involved mainly Muslim supporters—would the outcome have been the same?”
This is happening in our nation. Subtle, clever propaganda is at work. We’re told actions are “for their safety” — a tactic reminiscent of totalitarian control.
Before diving further, let’s ground ourselves in Scripture. Ephesians 5:11 says:
“Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead expose them.”
Every Christian has a responsibility to speak, to act, to stand. To not speak is to speak.To not act is to act. There is no neutrality. You are either for righteousness or for darkness!
The Church is called to be children of the light, shining in this dark hour. Alarmingly, many churches today are doing their best to do nothing.
The Church’s prophetic role is to hold those in power accountable. This is what Bonhoeffer emphasized. If the Church needs to raise her voice, it is NOW!
I witnessed people at a protest in Southampton, hugging me, crying, grateful to see Christians with the courage to stand for truth and defend the nation. Grown adults were moved by someone simply wearing a clerical collar.
Consider the treatment of Jewish people:
banned under the guise of “safety,”
denied access to events, while governments and institutions remain silent.
Last year, London’s largest Christmas market was told to rename itself a “Winter Market” to avoid offending anyone.
This is cultural erasure.
It’s also a spiritual war. Cultural Marxism, political correctness, woke ideology—they infiltrate churches and society alike.
Compassion has become a cult, replacing justice and righteousness.
Christians must resist being duped by misleading agendas like Black Lives Matter or pro-Palestinian narratives that, at their core, aim to delegitimize Jews.
Zechariah 12:3 reminds us of the End-times significance of hatred against Jews:
“…all who lift it [Jerusalem] will be severely injured, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.”
We see a subtle global hatred for Jews, often hidden behind terms like “anti-Zionist.” Yet Zionism simply affirms Jews’ right to their homeland. To oppose that is to oppose them.
The Church must not stay silent.
Many denominations today, including state churches and evangelicals, have taken pro-Palestinian stances. Some even forbid praying for Israel.
Those who remain quiet or complicit are aiding a cultural agenda reminiscent of Nazi Germany.
Matthew 5:13-16 teaches:
“You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden… Let your light shine before men…”
Churches have lost their saltiness. Many fear offending or being labeled extremist, prioritizing reputation over obedience. Yet Jesus called us to take up our cross daily, to live sacrificially, and to let our light shine.
History shows that Hitler promised the Church safety if it stayed out of politics. Today, Christians are told the same. But Scripture calls us to influence the world for God’s Kingdom — to be yeast in the dough, salt in the wounds, light in the darkness.
Who do we serve? The Jewishness of Jesus is suppressed in our churches. He is not a “nice white hippie”; He is the Jewish Messiah, and He will reign from Israel. Hatred of Israel or Jews is incompatible with serving Christ.
Acts 5:29:
“We must obey God rather than man.”
Romans 13 teaches submission to authority — but only when it aligns with God’s will. When governments contradict Scripture, Christians must stand for God,not man. [RB note verse 4 – governments are to act against – NOT promote and practice – evil.]
Christianity today faces persecution—sometimes subtle, sometimes overt. Those who speak truth are labeled fascists, Nazis, or racist. Yet those truly operating in that spirit are often anti-Semitic, woke, or culturally Marxist—mirroring the Church of the Third Reich.
Faith without action is dead. Silence in the face of evil is complicity. Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned:
“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless.”
This is the defining hour: light or darkness, truth or compromise. The Church must stand, proclaim righteousness, and resist the rise of the Fourth Reich in our time.
This is timely – following on from dear Veronika’s plea for the church to get her head and therefore identity, out of Delilah’s lap before she finds herself shaved and led into captivity.
Timely in your reference to Magna Carta as in the North at Durham Cathedral there has been a very good highlighting of Magna Carta for much of the year, as they celebrate the 800th anniversary of its definitive version, willingly signed by John’s son Henry III on turning 18 and therefore assuming the governance that for the previous 9 years had been in the hands of his guardians. The document was never changed after this version became law and it was added to the statute book in 1297.
In the chapter house the Cathedral have set up 5 large prayer stations with the following topics all taken from Magna Carta –
Accountability of Leaders;
Equal Access to Justice;
Equality before the Law;
Defence of the Vulnerable;
Sanctity of Life… I suggest these are all highly relevant today.
The then Archbishop Stephen Langton played a key role in stewarding this and helping to uphold it. Would to God the C of E could see its opportunity. Durham is a vacancy in See after Bishop Paul retired earlier this year.
There will have been a considerable number of people who have had access to this exhibition
Am tempted to email Danny Kruger and suggest Reform take up the cry of Magna Carta. It was document born in political crisis.
Shalom, love and prayer
Elaine
I respond, ‘LOL Elaine, The video was recommended on our men’s Bible breakfast group as we’d chatted about church staying out of politics, with which I disagree! SO thinking of posting it I got nudged to refer to Magna Carta and you bring the Lord’s confirming it. Don’t you just love His God-incidents.’
I’ve been considering Britain’s seriously fallen state and the apparent abdication of church leaders to take a stand over applying Christian principles on behalf of our nation – but some even denigrated those who took part in the momentous march in London on 13th September calling to ‘Unite the Kingdom’!
BACK TO BASICS
So, what does Jesus say about nations, or people groups, and His Father’s Kingdom and how to govern them?
BibleGateway has 365 references (a daily dose!) in the New King James Version of the Bible, of which 155 are in the New Testament and I’m particularly interested in Jesus instructing His first disciples to use this model prayer (Matthew 6.9-13) and its later application:
“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Yourname. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earthas it is in heaven. Give us this day ourdaily bread. Andforgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”
After His Resurrection and prior to His Ascension to heaven they were instructed as follows (Matthew 28:18-20):
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Thus, the Great Commission entails telling not-yet believers in all people groups about Jesus, baptising them into Father’s Kingdom and teaching them its values and to apply them as the ideal way to live together in harmony: that is, how to govern themselves by Godly political principles!
PARLIAMENTARY ADDRESS
I recall that when covering the 808th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta one of the postings refers to the Biblical foundation to governing of our nation having been laid by King Alfred the Great.
Now at last, this weekend saw GAFCON’s announcement severing communion with heretical Canterbury: a cutting off, separation and coming out of false teaching.
‘The Gafcon movement of orthodox Anglicans is forging its own path away from the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury with the launch of the Global Anglican Communion.
It will be distinct from the worldwide Anglican Communion that is under the spiritual leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury and which recognises other Institutes of Communion like the Lambeth Conference, the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC), and the Primates’ Meeting of senior archbishops.
Unveiling its plans on Thursday, Gafcon said its intention was to “reorder” the Anglican Communion with only the Bible as its foundation. It will not recognise the Archbishop of Canterbury or other Institutes of Communion.
“We cannot continue to have communion with those who advocate the revisionist agenda, which has abandoned the inerrant word of God as the final authority and overturned Resolution I.10, of the 1998 Lambeth Conference,” said the Most Rev Dr Laurent Mbanda, Chairman of the Gafcon Primates’ Council, and Primate of Rwanda.
“Therefore, Gafcon has re-ordered the Anglican Communion by restoring its original structure as a fellowship of autonomous provinces bound together by the Formularies of the Reformation, as reflected at the first Lambeth Conference in 1867, and we are now the Global Anglican Communion...’ (continue emphases mine).
Their Communique begins (underscoring added, emboldening by Gafcon,):
‘To our dear Anglican brothers and sisters in Christ. Grace and peace to you in the name of our risen Lord Jesus Christ, on the Commemoration of the martyrdom of Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley.
The first Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) gathered in 2008 in Jerusalem to prayerfully respond to the abandonment of the Scriptures by some of the most senior leaders of the Anglican Communion, and to seek their repentance.
In the absence of such repentance, we have been prayerfully advancing towards a future for faithful Anglicans, where the Bible is restored to the heart of the Communion.
Today, that future has arrived.
Our Gafcon Primates gathered this hour to fulfil our mandate to reform the Anglican Communion, as expressed in the Jerusalem Statement of 2008….’ (continue reading)
He was removed for saying what many believe: “A female bishop is not found in the Bible.”
18 September 2025:
Upon reading comments upon our inter-church men’s breakfast Bible group on the developing peace proposal to close the 3 years-old war, I got ‘nudged’ to check the historian I’ve occasionally re-blogged, Dr Pat Walsh, and found this informative, independent confirmation of his coverage of the Ukraine-Russia war.
