Fulfilled Prophecy #10.14 – Lies exposed about number of pandemic deaths

SO-CALLED ‘FAKE NEWS’ CENSORED BY SUPPOSED INDEPENDENT FACT CHECKERS IS NOW VINDICATED AS BEING TRUE!!

This confirms what many have been suspecting and complaining about for months – also see We Are Being Lied To! by Wanda Alger and re-blogged here on 18th June.

Prophecy, politics, Boris and this blog

Introducing medical information on the bio-engineered nature of Covid-19, I questioned PM Johnson’s legislation for compulsory covering of faces in shops: is it the real reason? If not, then he should say so and tell the truth!

Readers who recognise how the Lord presents me with prophetical ‘jigsaw pieces’ as well as ‘God-incidents’, will appreciate the importance of this week’s three main items coming to my attention – all inside one day! – and demanding a lot of work. I was greatly relieved to discover it was indeed a ‘divine arrangement’, as indicated in this email from an intercessor:

“Dear Richard, I’m fwd this as it literally was the next item in my inbox after yours on the virus being man made…. another God-instance!”

Its attachment goes into great depth upon ‘The Great Covid-19 Deception And What You Need to Know to Survive’confirmation ALSO comes in its referring to what I’d omitted from the notes William Koenig published, viz: “Dr. Boyle has a great distaste for Bill Gates, Fauci, WHO, CDC and big pharma’s agenda.” OH WOT !!!!!!!!

SO dear reader, please be assured of the validity of my blogging upon this subject.

THE FOUR FFFFs

These are the four legs of my life > Faith > Family > Friends > Facts. After those are Biblical and modern prophecy followed by everything good in life, with all politics at the bottom of course. (Regular readers may have realised I’m conservative by nature and preference.)

So believe me; I do NOT wish to write on political issues, especially when needing to reduce valuable time blogging. Also and contrary as one may think, I’ve not forgotten those encouraging prophecies of Boris’ fresh term of office being ‘on Churchill’s chair’ – BUT both words clearly implied it would be for “a short time,” one even warning he may soon die! Praise the Lord that Boris survived his personally perilous attack!

Indubitably, the Lord knew of satan’s strategy for the pandemic and bringing widespread fear and turmoil. In fact, I believe it tried killing a pastor to whom the Lord had just given a detailed prophecy of 3 years of humiliation and economic woes for Britain!!

SO, events need to be addressed and my readers informed – and Boris prayed for too!

BULLDOG?

As a boy ‘baby boomer’ I became aware of politics when Winston Churchill resigned his second term of office as PM – AND that he and fellow Brits were of the ‘bulldog-breed’. Everyone needed backbone, bite and bottle to doggedly survive and win a dreadful war.

But at present, that’s missing in ‘Bojo’ and the British public – decades of liberalism and anti-Christianity have produced ‘wusses’; The Telegraph’s Allison Pearson agrees in her Compulsory face masks are proof the British bulldog has become the scaredy-cat of Europe!

MOREOVER, only today we’ve encountered crassly stupid and contrasting policies in asking coffee shops about their allowed facilities for friends meeting together!

So this morning’s news comes as absolutely no surprise!

The interviewer concludes with this revelatory, oral confession direct from the PM (emphases mine):

“I think it is more about trying to reassure those scared witless people that it is safe to go outside, it’s safe to go to shops.

“I think it acts as a constant reminder to everyone that this disease is taking over our lives and it continues to reinforce the obsession and hypochondria around one single illness to the detriment of every other aspect of life.”

In responding to a reader’s comments to Humiliating Muddle of Mixed Messages upon the BBC’s coverage of Matt Hancock, I write about Boris’ above remarks:

“This clearly implies the satanic origin of this attack upon society, which has come as a consequence of our rebellion against God and thus removing us from His protective blessing. I pray the Lord speaks to Bojo direct about the demonic spirit of fear behind it all, AND that he gets competent, anointed direction from the few Christian leaders who know how to deal with it and lead him as our nation’s political leader into repentance.”

Any Amens?

Fulfilled Prophecy #10.13 – More exposure of Covid-19 culpability

Further to the previous ‘Mid-week Newsmix’, and a passing thought of 4 years ago on the exposure of rotten politics being prophetic, here’s the third item of Monday’s news:

3rd validation of “It’s man-made” coronavirus – a bio-weapon! (F/P #121.10-3)

“By the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established.” (Deuteronomy 19:15)  ‘Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.’ (1 Corinthians 14:29)

Three closely related – but not apparently so – news items cropped up on Monday and, had my schedule allowed, they’d have been posted as a ‘Monday Morning Newsmix.’ However, they now make the ‘Mid-week Newsmix’ with the first being the previous item on mixed messages about face masks. Here’s the second:

PM Johnson is proposing legislation for public safety in the event of a second wave of the Covid-19, but is that the real reason?  Politicians are economical with the truth, but  maybe Boris has another agenda; one of preparing us for the possibility of biological warfare and terrorism! IF so, then he should say so.

PROPHETIC WORD & PREVIOUS VALIDATIONS:

Upon waking Tuesday morning 24th March 2020, I asked the Lord, “Is the pandemic from You?” ~ Then got an immediate answer: “No, it is man-made!” The detail behind this is in Another prophecy of 2019 revisited re. coronavirus – the Lord reveals its origin (see Footnotes).

1st > This word was considered further in Is the global pandemic from God’s hand? after learning about its first public validation in May, which came from US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, as told in Does Security Intel Validate a Word on the Pandemic?

2nd > A few weeks later, in early June, another validation came from the former head of MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove, as told in Prophecy Coming To Pass: “Man-made Virus”.

FROM ‘INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE’

In easing off from years of blogging I decided not to follow US and Middle-Eastern news so closely and last year didn’t re-subscribe to William Koenig’s in-depth weekly Eye View from the White House. I’d read it and visited his World Watch Daily regularly.

As an accredited and long-established Christian reporter and analyst based in that centre of American government, Bill’s knowledge and insights and are especially valuable (see Bio’). Within weeks of launching this blog 8 years ago I covered his long-term investigation into Biblical, financial and historical cycles. It is cited in this blog’s reference section Time: Cycles and the Bible.

Weekly email notifications with brief summary continued arriving and last week’s was too tempting to resist. I renewed my subscription! I was very surprised to learn of what I’d missed as summarised in an update from Bill, which expands upon details gained in the above 2nd validation.

Here are some extracts:

The Latest on Coronavirus

“I am sharing the following as a summary after (having) watched, researched and documented the coronavirus pandemic since January. I have corresponded with experts in the field. Below are a few informed thoughts. This is a serious pandemic because is a bio-engineered virus with multiple variants and very contagious…

“[Professor of international law] Francis Boyle’s bio states he drafted the U.S. domestic bill implementing legislation for the Biological Weapons Convention, known as the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989…Moreover, virtually everything he has told me in email correspondence since February about what to expect has happened.

“Covid-19 is a bio-terrorism weapon that was released (some think accidentally, some think intentionally) out of the Wuhan, China, Level 4 biological weapons facility. Dr. Boyle told me it has HIV within it and it also has nanotechnology, which was obtained from Dr. Charles Lieber, the Harvard Chemistry Department Chair who was on the Chinese Government payroll and arrested on January 28. [See DoJ Release]

Medical Doctor’s Explanation of the Bio-engineered Coronavirus

“The following note is from a medical doctor (whose perspective) I asked for…on the coronavirus, which she has treated …I highlighted the key parts:

‘We know specific virus types do not mutate with a completely different family of virus. In other words, in “nature” a coronavirus does not mutate with an HIV-1 virus. They mutate within their own viral species type but not with other viral types.

‘We understand from viral sequencing of Covid-19 that within the Sars-Cov-2 are mathematically and perfectly placed 4 glycoproteins called GP-120… These are the part of the HIV-1 virus responsible for the Cytokine storms causing severe lung damage and death in many patients.

‘This type of attachment of two completely different virus types does not happen in nature. Also, the GP-120 is so perfectly sequenced into Sar-CoV-2, we understand and know this does not happen in the “natural.” In the natural process there is room for sequences to be placed differently, giving a virus more “chance” to mutate. This is not so with Covid-19. They are “perfectly” sequenced—again giving the appearance this particular virus has been bio-engineered.

‘Normally our bodies are very adaptable to “natural” bacteria and viruses. However, we are NOT dealing with a “natural” viral prototype..

‘The question is this: How do our bodies react “normally” to an abnormal bio-engineered virus? The answer . . . they don’t! Nor should they. This is not something mankind has dealt with over the entire world until now…

Humiliating muddle of mixed messages re. face masks (F/P #165.3)

Yet again Prime Minister Johnson has shut the stable door after the horse has bolted!

With deaths in the UK now at the lowest since lock-down began in late March and then after its easing, as well as over the weekend, the government and scientists have been giving mixed messages about wearing masks and creating confusion. We’re told that ‘experts’ (like those who overestimated the scale of the ‘Chinese flu’ pandemic) expect another wave of coronavirus infections.

So ‘Bojo’ should be eating the ‘sombrero’ he wanted to stamp down (ie. peaked graph of outbreak of infections) because we’re now back into its brim of very low numbers – yet he now insists upon mandatory imposition of wearing masks in shops to protect others from the exhalation of possibly pathogenic aerosol particles.  BUT, masks are known – and demonstrably proven – to put the wearer’s own health at risk by increasing carbon dioxide levels with the consequential undesirable effects of oxygen deprivation!

CDC is a major operational arm of US Dept for Health & Human Services

As hinted by not a few writers, this implies we’re now into experimentation in controlling the population. The ‘thin end of the wedge’ is being driven further in for introducing and preparing people for the Mark of the Beast, as in Briefing 13.

Furthermore, it’s all another indication of November’s prophecy about the institutional and financial humiliation of Britain coming to pass (Fulfilled Prophecy #165.3)

On behalf of Canadian authorities, Drs Joseph Hickey and Dan Rancourt of the Ontario Civil Liberties Association have made scholarly representations to the Director General of the World Health Organisation to again reverse its recommendation of using masks.

I’ve read Dr Rancourt’s other paper in which he cites two dozen pre-Covid-19 studies supporting his claim Masks Don’t Work.  He’s formerly a professor at the University of Ottawa, and so I enquired of my science contact there, who responded:

“There are 2 sides to the science, which is unfortunately confusing (and)

  1. This is not a peer-reviewed publication. So it is not as reliable.
  2. Evidence used is for respiratory illness, not covid or coronavirus specifically.
  3. Humidity factor does not seem to be playing out in Southern USA, where Florida is having a second wave.”

In today’s Telegraph, science editor Sarah Knapton brings an up-to-date report and, like Dr Rancourt, refers to randomised control trials (RCTs) in her considerations in Do masks work? Here’s what the science says..

Next, we’ll look at further news regarding this man-made virus…

End-Times Briefing 14: Book of Revelation’s importance – 10 key points

In his third annexure to Simplicity, Neil Mackereth asks and points out:

WHY IS THE BOOK OF REVELATION SO IMPORTANT?
10 KEY POINTS

1. It is the Culmination of The Bible Story. The denouement.
Could you imagine the Bible ending with the one-chapter book of Jude?

2. It Shows Jesus in His glory – As King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
So awesome that even His close friend John fell on his face as if dead when he saw Jesus. We know Jesus as prophet, teacher, priest, healer and so on – but here we see Him in all His glory.

3. It Provides Knowledge: to Defeat Misinformation. A challenge to false prophets and false doctrine.

4. It Provides Knowledge: to Help us Understand World Events. Revelation shows that God foreknew, He is in control, and His plan will not be thwarted.
Current events: Israel, 1948 and following; moves towards a new world order – a world economic system and a world governmental system.

5. It Provides Knowledge: to help us be pathfinder guides and watchmen for Israel.

6. It is a Basis for Evangelism.
It is my contention that the incredible significance and glorious wonder of so much fulfilled prophecy in the Bible, is so “undersold” that it indicates the church has been duped into veiling parts of the Word of God Any other prophetic book that was so absolutely accurate over so many events over such a long period of time, would be hailed and revered in awe and wonder by the secular world.

7. An antidote to complacency.
We now know enough to not be caught unawares.

8. Future Focus: it prepares us for what lies ahead.
Revelation tells us more about our eternal home and condition, rather than our current temporary state – more about the significance and urgency of the choice we, and all people, need to make.

9. Worship.
A book full of worship, and how to worship – 11 major songs that have inspired a multitude of hymns and choral works, songs etc.

10. Because God tells us it is Special!
It is the only book in the Bible that blesses the reader and the hearer (Rev 1:3) John wrote it as he saw it and heard it, which may account for its unusual style – he was continually being reminded to write down what he saw and heard, and then told not to change it! – Reveleation 22:18-19.

End-Times Briefing 13: triple ‘God-incidence’ re. contactless payments & Mark of the Beast

Puzzle In Sky by Idea Go, courtesy Freedigitalphotos.com

As if by coincidence, a week ago today three people alerted me separately to ‘the Mark of the Beast,’ as in the 13th chapter of The Book of Revelation, as herein:

The Beast from the Earth

11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives [f]those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no-one may buy or sell except one who has [g]the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. [NKJV courtesy BibleGateway.com – the Greek is particularly illuminating on ’emblem of the hand’: click image to read in full.]

1st GOD-INCIDENCE

Friday 26th June was the latter half of 24 hours of fasting to finish a week of prayer held by our church. I limited my drinks to tea or coffee and didn’t have any accompanying ‘yummies’! Therefore, this unusual when joining a couple for a chat over morning coffee at Petersfield Heath. It was their first time near others since the start of lockdown three months ago.

For several weeks the outdoor cafe has opened on certain days to serve take-away drinks, subject to ‘socially distanced’ queuing and not handling items, such as cash, for the good of the staff’s health. So, it’s ‘contactless payments only’. We’ve known the manager since the cafe first opened and my card is not enabled for such payments, so they allow me to pay by tapping my PIN whilst wearing one of their disposable gloves.

Last Friday, the manager took orders and asked if I don’t use contactless on principle, so I answered “Yes”. He said local Environmental Health officials are instructing businesses to reopen by following his method of accepting money. That is, local firms are now encouraged not to accept any cash, thus avoiding the risk of Covid-19 virus, and move entirely to payments enabled by a digital personal number – as foretold in Revelation 13!

2nd GOD-INCIDENCE

That evening Neil Mackereth emailed me a new article in which he quotes those verses in connection with a vaccination programme against the Covid-19 virus. The pertinent part coinciding with what I’d heard that morning, reads:

“Everyone will be encouraged to have the vaccination and, for seemingly very sensible reasons, to have an identifying mark (like a tattoo) to show their immunity.
In the early stages of “normalisation”, retail outlets (shops, pubs, restaurants etc.) will be able to relax social distancing restrictions, for those who can show that they have been vaccinated (i.e. have the mark of immunity)…I am not suggesting that it will be inappropriate to have the vaccination. However, if it is conditional on having some sort of mark, great care will be needed in assessing the appropriateness, in light of God’s guidance on the subject. (see Revelation 13:16-18).”

3rd GOD-INCIDENCE

Also, on Friday my phone alerted me to a YouTube video prophet Tomi Arayomi had issued the previous day in which he divulges a dream about lockdown of markets relating to the implantation of radio-frequency identification (RFID) micro-chips. He also brings an important prophetic word for the Church in these days.
In my humble opinion this video is essential viewing! It is most important that we know about such matters because they are directly relevant to End-Times and clearly indicate we’re now there..!!

No wonder I’m ‘God-smacked’ over what the Lord brought to my attention 7 days ago!

“By the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established” (Deuteronomy 19:15)

‘Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said’ (1 Corinthinans 14:29)

End-Times Briefing 12: an overview of the Book of Revelation

Briefing 11’s Introduction to the Book of Revelation draws to a close by its author, Neil Mackereth, stating “Apocalyptic works seek to inform the reader about aspects of an End-Times drama. The grand climax of the Bible is imminent — that is to say, it could happen at any moment…”  He reminds us, “The Bible explains that two absolute powers or principles operate in the universe…In the book of Revelation (and the whole Bible), God himself is the ultimate source of all that is good; Satan and his followers refuse to submit to God and are the ultimate source of evil. This ethical dichotomy underlies the conflict within the book of Revelation”.:

OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION

The Prologue provides essential information for understanding the meaning and structure of the Book of Revelation. “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place; he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.” (Rev. 1:1–2).

Apostle John conveys to his first-century readers the unveiling of Jesus. It’s something like the showing of a video of a Monarch and his court. The Book of Revelation is written for Christians who understand the language of a faith unique to Christian experience. But given the complexity of the metaphors and images, even “insiders” have difficulty understanding Revelation. However, anyone can grasp the basic message: Jesus is going to return to earth, overthrow Satan’s evil empire, reward his faithful followers, punish those who reject his Lordship, and create a new heaven and a new earth.

From the very start, it is abundantly clear that God holds the Book of Revelation to be of paramount importance.

Revelation continues with 7 letters dictated by Jesus to John for distribution to the churches at: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. The letters, which summarise positive and negative aspects of these representative churches, have stood the test of time.  They were written over 1,900 years ago but signpost conditions and circumstances that continue to exist in churches today.

The pattern of the letters is fairly consistent. Each is addressed to a specific church, followed by a particular characteristic of Jesus. Then comes positive comments (none for Sardis or Laodicea) and negative comments (none for Smyrna or Philadelphia), and advice to each.  The letters close with an entreaty that the readers will open their ears and hear, and with a promise to ‘overcomers’, which is different for each church.

These letters are relatively straightforward and understandable (which is not to say that we shouldn’t look for help to “unpack” their full meaning!).

From chapter 4 onwards we move into an altogether more challenging series of visions that are filled with symbolism, allegories, metaphors, imagery and other such figures of speech and apocryphal language: to try to interpret the Book literally would be to miss its meaning.  Some scholars argue that there are seven visions each of which is linked to a matching day in the seven days of creation in Genesis (ie. that the order of events links the beginning with the end).

The timing and sequence of events can be difficult to follow.  This is in part because the very act of writing things down gives them an order that may not be intended.  Some of the actions recorded are clearly happening simultaneously.

I have the impression that John (Jesus’ scribe) is seeing visions on a huge scale (like vast paintings) and trying to scribble down what catches his eye, without necessarily having time to arrange and classify the information.  It is clear that there are two or three sections that are digressions or parentheses from the central narrative.

Furthermore, the unusual style, which is not in character with John’s other writings, may have remained ‘unedited’ because of the very strong warning against alteration given in Rev. 22: 18-19.  These verses show us again that Revelation is both unique and of huge significance: no other book of the Bible has such a ‘health warning’!

In simple terms, Revelation shows that:

  • Things on earth are not right and the Church is not as it should be (Rev. 2 & 3);
  • Things in heaven are right: God is on His throne and Jesus is the overseer and leader for the End-Time plan and action (Rev. 4 & 5);
  • The world will suffer great tribulation for 3½ years, under the unholy trinity of Satan, the antichrist and the false prophet (Rev. 6-18);
  • Jesus will return as King of kings and Lord of lords, defeat the armies of the unholy trinity and establish His rule on the earth for a thousand years. The Day of Judgement will be at the end of the millennium rule, followed by the ushering in of the new heaven, new Earth and new Jerusalem (Rev. 19-22).

JESUS WINS!

End-Times Briefing 11: an intro’ to the Book of Revelation

It’s now time to expand upon Briefing 3’s listing of Signs from the Gospel accounts and Paul’s letters by considering ‘The Apocalypse’, as in the annexures to Neil Mackereth’s paper dated 21st May: Simplicity.  First, recall Apostle John’s opening remarks on its awesome origin, along with benediction (Young’s Literal Translation – in Greek here):

A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify [it], having sent through his messenger to his servant John, who did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things also as he did see. Happy is he who is reading, and those hearing, the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it — for the time is nigh!

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION

The challenge in introducing Revelation to a new audience, or to infrequent readers of the book, is twofold: how do we make sense of this strange book; and how do we overcome longstanding antipathy to it, which, unfortunately, is often reinforced by those who should be explaining its message. I want to describe what apocalyptic literature is and to provide a basic overview of what Revelation is about.

The Bible, at its opening, quickly moves to the fall of man and the success of Satan. Then follows God’s sovereign selection of His chosen people Israel, the story of their triumphs, failures, trials and tribulations up to the first coming of Christ.  The New Testament describes Jesus’ life and role as Redeemer King, His death, resurrection and ascension to heaven.  At the close of the Bible, Jesus returns, Satan is overthrown and his followers are defeated.  Without the Book of Revelation, the story would be incomplete.

First, I believe it is essential to consider what the writer’s mindset might have been, if we are to have any hope of untangling and understanding the book’s mysteries. Continue reading

End-Times Briefing 10 cont’d: key signs and prophecies

We continue Annex A to Simplicity and examine some items in earlier Briefings:

KEY END-TIME (or SECOND ADVENT) SIGNS and PROPHECIES

An awareness of End-Time signs will help us to see if any world events, as they unfold in the weeks, months and years ahead, can honestly be described as fulfilling Biblical prophecy. Analysis of world events in relation to prophecy requires care and integrity, both to ensure genuine spiritual significance, and to avoid “false news”, conspiracy theories and the pronouncements of false prophets. It will be exceedingly hard to convince a sceptical world that prophecy is being fulfilled!

Some prophecies in the Bible seem particularly significant, in light of current world events, especially in the Middle-East. The following prophecies are worth bearing in mind, especially by those who are intentional about marrying historic prophecies with contemporary occurrences. They are, in short, signs of the End-Times: Continue reading

End-Times Briefing 10: the centre line – where are we now?

Annex A to Neil Mackereth’s paper Simplicity goes deeper into Matthew 24 signs than earlier Briefings 2: the ‘When?’ and 3: the ‘What?’ of Watching [cross-references to the book of Daniel are mine]:

1 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”

THE CENTRE LINE OF END-TIME PROPHECY – WHERE ARE WE NOW?

At the start of Matthew 24 the disciples are seeking Jesus’ acknowledgement that the Temple is a beautiful building.  They were shocked by His response, that the Temple would be utterly destroyed, not one stone left on another.  This startling prophetic statement leads them to ask two very significant questions:

“When will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” (Jesus responds to this as two questions, the second having two parts)

Before answering these questions, Jesus warns the disciples against being deceived by people falsely claiming to be Christ. This thread of potential deception by false prophets continues throughout the chapter.  Continue reading
