The United States moved its embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem on May 14, 2018.
Having some time to reflect on this event, and connect the dots to other events both past and future-prophesied, I believe this is an important milestone—not for the end times in general—but for Israel during these times.
I believe we can now divide the modern, end-time history of the nation of Israel into three phases.
Israel, Phase 1
The first phase saw the establishment of the Jewish people forming a community. After many centuries, the Jewish people returned to the land of Israel; not the land of Palestine, but the land of Israel. Jews began to arrive in the late 1800’s, bought desert parcels and swampland from their Arab neighbors, and created a thriving Jewish community. By 1948, there were a little over half a million Jews living and working in the coastal plain, the Negev…
After sticking Charles Shamp’s prophetic words of Dec 2016 on the Brussels beast and the UK, with that of Feb 2017 on America’s embassy moving to Jerusalem, onto the blog’s home page as a result of their popularity, I was nudged to visit his Prophet’s Loft and to rummage around – I got a couple of surprises!
Now, do you recall my earlier surprise upon learning of an earthquake in the vicinity of Iran’s nuclear reactor actually happening on 19th April – Israel’s holiday celebrating its 70th Independence Day?
In checking out Charlie Shamp’s collection of prophetic words I find two confirming my sensing the unique significance of that ‘quake as being a ‘Sign from God’ (see herein) -not only geologically but also geopolitically – where I wrote
‘By ‘coincidence’ a geological ‘act of God’ took place on 19th April 2018 – the 5.5 magnitude earthquake in the vicinity of Iran’s nuclear power plant at Bushehr. As mentioned, I’d already mused on a ‘quake happening and blogged:
‘…we could reasonably consider this may be a direct warning to Iran that the same, or bigger, can so easily happen to its nuclear programme at any time! Moreover, it’s occurring on the year’s cyclically critical date of 19-20 April is surely no coincidence!
“…I am going to shake up everything; turn some nations upside down. There will be natural shakings in the nations, yes a natural earthquake will be felt. In a nation that desired for war to shake the ground in the Middle East. You have plotted against my people, you have plotted against my Israel and you will be shaken, your land will shake, your ground will quake. I will overturn a royal throne and shatter the power of a kingdom that has come against my people. I will overthrow your government, dismantle your weapons and armaments and throw your army into confusion. The desire you have had to utterly destroy my people will come upon you unless you repent…”
‘…Again I heard the voice of the Lord say, “Iran, your deal is done, the foreign favors have come to an end. You have dealt harshly against my people Israel. You have sought their destruction and demise. I have seen your plan to tear Israel apart and wipe her from of the face of the earth. Your heart of hate has forced my hand against you and your agreement with America will be torn in two! Now you will deal with me in the days to come.
“Behold, I will break your bow Iran, the foremost of your might will be destroyed! For I will cause you to be dismayed before your enemies and before those who seek your life. I will bring disaster upon you and I will send the sword of my word and it will strike your heart, yes the heart of Tehran. I will set My throne in your nation and will destroy from there the king and the princes. I will bring back the captives of the nation. Those who gather with me in secret to pray are more then those who meet with you in the open. I have heard the cry of my people coming from this land for freedom. I have caused my word to be heard in the heart of the nation and soon some you trust will turn to me and bow their knee. The destruction I will bring will not be by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit. My hand will sweep across the nation and many will be saved in one single day.
“There is a rumbling coming that will shake the ground, you will feel it’s force. For it will be a sign of what will come a shaking in your government, a shaking in economy, a shaking of your religion. I will shake free every hand and feet from the shackles that hold them and they will walk free, yes they will march in the streets. I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will shatter deception and scatter your lies by these winds, get ready for it will begin. The dry bones will come to life! Even the bones of my Prophet Daniel who is buried in your country will shake as a sign that my people in the nation will awake.”
I’ve only just read that closing reference to Daniel when copying the prophecy into place and it took me totally by surprise – it’s personally poignant in view of the many instances his Book has popped up over the past month, as recounted in GPS#16.
SECULAR CONFIRMATION!
If you’ve read the previous post’s link Watching Netanyahu in Tehran then, like me, you will have realised Caroline Glick’s analysis supports the details Charlie Shamp brought prophetically last January and March on the politico-economic shaking in Iran.
‘For the day of the LORD upon all nations is near; As you have done, it shall be done to you; Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.’ (Obad 15: on enemies of God’s covenant people.)
In discussing Tuesday’s ‘coincidences’ relating to the night vision of a huge spider’s web across Europe, here’s Part 1’s missing paragraph to my reply to ‘Fiona Z’: ‘…together with your email I had a notification from Tony’s blog of a video clip. It opens to show a person who’s been in my mind yesterday and first thing this morning, for the EU office she holds was created by ‘Recommendation 666’ and she’s against what Trump and Netanyahu are doing! (One of my first private emails on End-times refers to that post’s origins – seeNot Many People Know – 2.)’
In his post entitled End Times my friend invites readers to “Take a look at the following video. Take it to the Lord in prayer”.:
Normally, I’m too busy to watch videos but was prompted to watch this one’s start and assess its merit. This video presents an overview of events leading into End-times, but neither the running news-banner or narrator divulge the identity of the person in the video’s first frames – run it a few seconds to check. So I comment on the blog,
“Fascinating timing Tony as the lady in the opening frame has been on my mind in connection with Israel’s 70th birthday because of her very strong objections to the US embassy move to Jerusalem, as well as against scrapping the Iran nuclear deal. (Read about her in Wikipedia: Frederika Mogherini)…upon opening my bible early this morning I decided to revisit Obadiah 15 on ‘The Day of the Lord’ for preparing a blog on those thoughts based upon that verse and EU – then upon getting notification of this post of yours I run the video and there she is!! I take this as strong confirmation that the Lord’s connecting the prophetic dots for us – as ever!”
YEAR OF ‘PEACE & SAFETY’!
Pastor Ken McMahon of Calvary Spokane draws to a close at 15:30 mark by referring to St Paul’s End-times prophecy at 1 Thess 5:3 of the world saying “Peace and safety”, and inserts a brief clip of that lady as High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy stating exactly that! Moreover, I blogged on this last year in Three Days’ Prophetic Jigsaw Pieces: #1 – 21st Sept and 1Thessalonians 5, when I asked,
‘Is what Apostle Paul foretold about the timing of the Day of the Lord happening today? Or this coming year? Especially noteworthy is the fact that today is Rosh Hashanah – the start of the Jewish New Year 5778!! You may recall having read about this a month ago in Today’s and one month away’s awesome events in the heavens on Mark Biltz’s message (1:04 – 1:05 mark refers)? ‘
[I checked and found:] ‘The United Nations has declared 21st September to be observed annually and globally as the International Day of Peace (‘Peace Day’)’. Today’s and the next 365 days theme is entitled,‘Together for Peace, Respect, Safety and Dignity For All’.
‘Look again, that scripture’s third verse promises‘when they say, “Peace and Safety!” then…’, the clear inference everyone’s saying those words.’
Now, we consider how this person had cropped up in my weekend musings…
US EMBASSY IN JERUSALEM
Upon reading Sunday’s Debka report on preparations for the official dedication of the American Consulate in Jerusalem as the United States’ Embassy to Israel, I spotted a fact directly relating to a prophetic word on the EU urging Britain’s withdrawal – note my emphasis:
‘About 30 of the 86 ambassadors accredited to Israel accepted the invitation to the Foreign Ministry gala reception for the US delegation Sunday evening in Jerusalem. Most European Union ambassadors are boycotting the party, excepting Hungary, the Czech Republic, Austria and Romania, whose envoys will be there in defiance of Brussels, which takes strong exception to the US move. The Russian, Egyptian and Mexican ambassadors are not expected to attend. Guatemala and Paraguay have both promised to move their embassies to Jerusalem.’ (Palestinian ambassadors have since been recalled from those four countries – for an Abbas tantrum!)
Not only do I recognise those four European nations will be blessed through Genesis 12:3 and Obadiah 15-16 in standing with Israel on its 70th birthday, but also I noted it’s yet another indicator that 2015’s prophetic warning from David Noakes urging Britain to come out of the EU is moving towards its fulfillment, namely: “…Rather than rely on Me and my faithfulness to you, you chose, for worldly purposes, to join yourself to an institution which has denied my Name and refused to acknowledge Me in its councils. My fierce anger is upon that institution on account of its rebellion, its defiant rejection of me and its hardness of heart towards my ancient people Israel. “I warn you now that the European institution will not repent, even though I bring disaster and destruction upon it. I urge you, O Britain still beloved by Me for the sake of your godly forefathers, come out of her, so that you may not be caught up in that same destruction, for I am even now arising in judgment to bring to nothing what she has sought to achieve…”
Therefore, having learned 15 or so years ago about the ‘666’ foundation under Javier Solana of the EU’s office of High Representative – and combined with the weekend’s in-depth teaching on prophet Daniel’s End-time visions from Dr Arnold Fruchtenbaum – I recalled the current official’s anti-Israel and pro-Iran stance.
Also, in catching up on Caroline Glick’s latest in-depth incisive articles on the situation I spotted her reference to the EU’s High Representative in the opening paragraph’s of her Netanyahu’s Finest Hour. (William Koenig, the Watcher in the White House, refers to her as ‘ne plus ultra’ – none better!) She writes,
‘At the start of his cabinet meeting on Wednesday, President Donald Trump discussed his announcement Tuesday afternoon that he is removing the US from his predecessor Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran and reinstating the nuclear sanctions that were suspended with the deal’s implementation in January 2016.
‘European and other international leaders responded angrily to Trump’s move. The EU’s foreign policy commissioner Federica Mogherini was downright indignant.
‘Apparently unaware that the US is a more important EU ally than Iran, Mogherini insisted, “The European Union is determined to preserve it. Together with the rest of the international community, we will preserve this nuclear deal.”
After my Monday-Tuesday musings, Mogherini turns up at the start and ending of the video on Tony Pucci’s End Times post. Therefore, the Lord’s clearly alerting us by His ‘sign language’ to what’s going on in the world and how He’s aligning it to His prophetic scripture, and to words He’s giving today’s prophets.
DIS-INFORMATION
In case your knowledge of the above events comes from mainstream media, please be aware the British Brainwashing Cult is extremely unreliable on not only Brexit but also on the Middle East. For example, for a superior examination of the Gaza riots visit the media-monitoring site BBC Watch and study its thoroughly factual blog. See also Col. Richard Kemp’s eye-witness account and explanation of why the world is playing into Hamas’ hands. (Thanks Debbie. )
UPDATE ON ‘666’
Please note carefully that in absolutely no way am I attributing any similarity between living persons and biblical characters, but merely noting the nature and publication of official EU activities.
Not having kept closely abreast of related developments it was necessary to check my 2009 email on the EU and 666, especially to test and update links. So I was interested to find lawyer Constance Cumbrey reporting upon the EU’s first High Representative, Javier Solana, as being ‘one of the leading tacticians’ in the ‘Global Governance’ group –see this original data (scroll to top of page to read). Later, her Perspective affords these informative comments (emphases mine):
‘Global governance is and always has been the main game of the Davos crowd and its organizing body, WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM. Donald Trump has been perceived as doing much in his power to shut down global governance – climate control measures and all. The Davos crowd of politicians, high financiers, “scholars” and industrialists viewed Trump with neither affection nor favor.
‘One short week after Trump’s return from Davos, Switzerland and only two days after his State of the Union address, the New York Stock Market would drop by an astounding 666 points! That was a number obviously chilling to millions, including but not limited to Donald Trump’s Evangelical base of support in the USA. This happened only two days after Trump’s triumphant State of the Union speech to the United States Congress. A pivotal point of his speech was the dramatic improvement in the USA economy after his November 8, 2016 election. The 666 droppage would double immediately after the weekend on the following Monday by upwards of another 1200 points in one day.
‘Jo Blogs’ post on God’s Sign Language posted Friday, proved to be an excellent lead-in to a couple of ‘signs’ sitting in my Tuesday morning in-tray on matters that had been on my mind – and then came yet another!
The first was within hours of having posted Tony’s Night Vision Concerning Brexit of a huge spider’s web and I’d then mulled over its connections with the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem on Monday 14th May.
The vision Tony Puccio saw was of a spider’s web within Europe and England being severed from its sticky strands. That evening ‘Fiona Z’ emailed me and kindly permits me to publish her message, viz:
‘Hi Richard I was in my orchard interceding for the UK with regards to the EU. I was asking the Lord, ‘How do we become totally detached?’
‘At this point I saw a clear picture of George and the dragon which I initially ignored but, on singing in tongues, the image became clearer and I asked the Lord, ‘Why Lord? Dragons are for fairy-tales – surely your Holy Spirit is enough?’
‘My thoughts were that fairy-tales were exactly that and if not George then ‘Who’ would the Lord send to fight and defend us in that way at this time. The Lord replied clearly,
“Michael will prepare the way for my Spirit, all unrighteousness will be burned away by the fire of my Spirit’ – He WILL have the victory!”
‘I was then reminded of Daniel 12v1. [‘At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise…’ NIV: RB insert]
‘Please ignore if you feel this not to be relevant, please test and do whatever is the Lord’s will. All I can say is that it is the clearest vision the HS has given me.’
I responded, ‘...it is indeed a most relevant revelation! Interesting how it also relates to the weekend’s course on the book of Daniel, where Dr Fruchtenbaum explained about angelic warfare. So your email suggests our patron saint’s similar territorial activity under the head angel, the archangel Michael.
‘You will be interested to know, together with your email I had a notification from Tony’s blog of a video clip. It opens to show a person who’s been in my mind yesterday and first thing this morning…’
The rest of my reply and its associated details are for part 2 of this post. I was amazed a testing – or rather a ‘confirmation’ – of Fiona’s email was to come by lunchtime through another follow-up in God’s ‘sign language’ – or ‘God-incident’!!
During a ministry session at the day’s service for healing at Acorn Christian Foundation a dragon was sensed as having caused a great deal of bother. Within minutes the Lord quickly brought our brother through with a great blessing – He’s a good, good Father – praise Him!
As Fiona says, “Awesome when we surrender and the Lord moves in power to change everything for good!” Amen.
Footnote:
Thank you Wikipedia for the most informative entry on St George and the Dragon. It’s second paragraph offers a highly apposite insight relating to the essence of this topic, and which I’ve emphasised:
‘The legend of Saint George and the Dragon describes the saint taming and slaying a dragon that demanded human sacrifices; the saint thereby rescues the princess chosen as the next offering.
‘Only a kernel of the legend occurs in the ancient hagiography of Saint George dating to the 7th century or earlier. Here, a monarch referred to as “dragon of the abyss” persecutes the saint. The dragon-slaying may have been transferred from the legend attached to St. Theodore…’
However, that entry fails to mention that, as patron saint of England, his emblem of the red cross on white background is England’s national flag. With the addition of the diagonal crosses of St Patrick (red on white) for Ireland and Saint Andrew (white on blue) for Scotland, it becomes Britain’s flag, also known as The Union Jack.

Here Joanne Rolston shares her personal reflection upon what I’ve termed as ‘God-incidents’. May our Father bless and encourage you with His ‘sign language’ direct to you too…
What do you think about coincidences? Is it God trying to get our attention? Or, as Einstein said, “a small miracle where God chooses to remain anonymous?”
I think people often get signs and dismiss them as coincidences. I don’t dismiss them, you can miss out on a lot when you do that.
Have you experienced God trying to get your attention? Has He tried to sign to you or speak to you with a word? To hear, you must have the Word. Hearing comes from the Word.
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17
There are two kinds of Words in the Bible, LOGOS for general application and RHEMA for personal application, where the Holy Spirit will speak directly to you, bringing revelation.
I think hearing with the Rhema word is something that is caught rather than taught. When I heard people…
Further to his dream a few weeks ago about Britain regaining its sovereignty, over in Tucson Tony Puccio has just recorded the following on My Dreams & Visions. A new vision confirms previous prophecies from across the UK of a successful Brexit. Tony’s observation on the vision offers a spiritual explanation for the intractable, prolonged political difficulties endured since the democratic vote to leave the EU:
‘I will call this a night vision since this occurred whilst I was in bed and not yet back to sleep. What I saw was a huge spiderweb spread out over the countries of Europe. In the center was a huge spider. The web upon which it sat was no ordinary web as I saw what I will call electrical pulses passing through each strand of its web. What was interesting is, when looking for England, I saw that there were strands just dangling and sparking like one would see if a power-line were down. England was not a part of the spider’s web and from the looks of things it had broken free. In the natural an insect, once ensnared, does not break free from the spider’s web but is killed by the spider. I have seen, albeit rarely, an insect escape but with great difficulty. It would seem this is the case with Brexit.’
In my humble opinion I don’t think the pulses are purely electrical but represent how the demonic territorial spirit-entity controls thoughts and activity to everything that’s stuck in its ‘web’.
An especially sticky area relates to EU’s border controls and the near deadlock over arrangements for collecting trade tariffs at Eire’s border with Northern Ireland, for which electronic systems are proposed as a ‘max(imum) fac(ilitation)’ solution. The vision’s dangling bits in the sea could suggest we’ll end up with an ‘invisible’ border in the Irish Sea, as has been mooted.
Upon reading Tony’s vision it immediately reminded me of a powerful, dreadful dream before I was born-again. I was enveloped in a kind of ‘light’ in a nirvana-like state of mind but a curtain was drawn aside to unveil a spider-like, devouring monster behind it. A few years later I learned satan can masquerade as an angel of light!
Suzanne Payne at UK Prophetic Words notes, “It’s another prophetic picture that we will break free, or as the Lord has previously put it, become unyoked from the EU, which is indeed like a dark web.”
In view of the multi-level aspect of prophetic scripture recognised by biblical scholars of both Classical and Dispensational persuasions – and thus hinting at the cyclical fulfilling of prophecy – together with the ‘Act of God’ Iranian earthquake on Israel’s 70th Anniversary, we now start considering the prophetic instruction Daniel received from a heavenly messenger – and praying that we be blessed in its becoming ‘unsealed’.
I’m not alone in having my attention drawn to this book because one of the scholars whom I’ve re-blogged on Richard’s Watch is now publishing fresh insights. As in the previous post, it’s only one of many references to Daniel which have popped up since Resurrection Sunday!
Therefore and on the understanding that most readers are familiar to some extent with the Book of Daniel, it would be helpful to take stock of what I’ve already blogged on the ‘unsealing’ of the vision recorded in its 11th chapter, as may be inferred from.:
“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” (Daniel 12:4 NKJV)
Dear reader – please let me know if you too have been showered by ‘jigsaw pieces’ of prophetic material within the Book of Daniel, especially regarding End-times. It’s like the Lord’s wanting us to help Him complete an invisible jigsaw by picking out pieces and dropping them into our minds – as though pushing a pile of pieces to our corner of the table.
Or to put it another way: it’s like a heavenly cloud’s been sitting for weeks over the three counties-overlap of East Hampshire – West Sussex – Surrey, to release flurries of flakes and then in fly a few pieces from overseas! It’s a melting pot of metaphors where ‘God-incidents‘, ‘Invisible Jigsaw‘, ‘Bridge O’er the Pond‘ all indicate God’s ‘Global Prophecy Signals‘ are definitely operational.
For the record, here’s twelve pieces I’ve noticed:
10 April – learn previous week’s message at service for healing was on Daniel
17 April – Daniel again features at Acorn (unusually, 3 readings over April)
Let me know in Comments below if you’ve been getting pieces too. Alternatively, you can email me (richardswatch@talktalk.net) or comment on Richard’s Watch Facebook.

“It never rains but it pours,” so the saying goes and you may like to note what’s on this weekend in the Farnham-Aldershot area, as announced below:
Dr Arnold Genekowitsch Fruchtenbaum is founder and director of Ariel Ministries, an organization which prioritizes evangelization of Jews in the effort to bring them to the view that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. He lectures and travels widely.
This event is one of several recent ‘God-incidents’ regarding this famous Old Testament book of prophecies. Maybe I’ll see you there?

Thirty years ago my jaw dropped upon seeing an utterly amazing ‘coincidence’ between a book I was reading (The Invisible Hand) and a video of Iran’s elite troops rehearsing an attack upon, and liberation of, Jerusalem (see ‘Bio’ ). After many years watching the malign machinations of that regime, I’m pleased there’s now a non-Israeli world leader adamantly refusing to tolerate Iranian terrorism AND is already taking action – with Britain and France! – as well as knowing those ‘Twelvers’ hell-bent eschatological motives! [See Iranian Leader’s End-times Declaration & ‘Mahdi’ tag]. Here’s Joel Rosenberg’s on yesterday’s announcement:
(Jerusalem, Israel) — After a careful policy review by senior administration officials, and consultation with a wide range of U.S. allies, President Donald Trump today kept his promise by announcing the U.S. will terminate the nuclear deal that President Obama and Secretary John Kerry negotiated with Iran. The President also announced the U.S. will imposing […]
A very important prophetical declaration. Although with US domestic adversaries in mind it’s also applicable to those overseas, especially with the unveiled threats from Iran – eg Sunday’s televised speech by president Rouhani in NW Iran, “If the United States leaves the nuclear agreement, you will soon see that they will regret it like never before in history.”
Join with Passion for the Nation in making the following prophetic declaration, as posted on their website today and re-published by kind permission:
“This grace was given in Christ before the beginning of time…but it has now been revealed.” 2 Timothy 1:9
‘We declare over Parliament, God is the Master Planner of heaven and earth. His plans are for good and not evil, greater than every plan of man or of the enemy to bring confusion, division or hopelessness.
‘We come into agreement with His word, He is “The God who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.” Over all matters concerning Brexit under discussion; the potential UK-EU Customs partnership; the issues of the Irish Border and all matters relating to trade; We stand as the Ekklesia church and in the Name of Jesus we call forth the strategies of heaven. We declare they will be seen, heard, endorsed and enacted by those called to negotiating at this time. Romans 4:17
‘We declare over the House of Lords, God is the highest authority in heaven and earth. We decree shift and change, that both Houses will work in unity, and the democratic will of the people legislated in accordance with Heaven. We decree any aspect of the Bill or any attempted amendments that would harm Your plans for the UK will be turned around for good, in the Name of Jesus.’

“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” (Daniel 12:4 NKJV)
There’s this suspicion surfing around in my spirit that we’ve arrived at a time of destiny prophesied in the Holy Bible. So, let me share a smattering of ‘signs’ suggesting the Holy Spirit is working through some ‘Acts of God’ – acts that involve not only security services’ intelligence but also spiritual intelligence – plus geological AND geopolitical shaking!
I humbly submit a small ‘sign’ was a rejigging of what I was writing a week ago Thursday. I was drafting two blogs in parallel but their planned sequence of publication got switched. However, this enabled both to fit in with a few external events. Even without my realising all this at the time, this change would support my suspicion that 2018 is a crucial point on God’s 2,500-years timetable.
TIMING TRAIL
In mulling over events of a fortnight ago it seemed worthwhile to have a rethink on the book of Daniel, which necessitated revisiting previous posts to refresh my memory. Therefore, this one’s more personal than usual, for reasons which will become clear. In fact, early last week I’d collected the material and drafted some points but my priority was to finish and publish the post on geometry of Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1. Nevertheless, the timing was just right because I was directed to an exciting, fresh revelation on Time in Creation, but which would await another post.
What’s more, unknown to me this timing was being confirmed that very day by a vision Veronika West had just received from the Lord on, of all things, the synchronisation of earthly time with heaven’s time! (See GPS #15.)
However, had I not completed that promised but long-overdue follow-up post on scripture’s geometry, then I’d have been out-of-sync with the timing of what you’re reading here. Now a week has elapsed, I appreciate it had to await its coming weekend’s news on the hostile Israel-Iran situation and Monday’s disclosure by Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu of an intelligence coup: his possession of a vast trove of Iranian secret documents. He claims these are ‘conclusive proof’ Iran lied about its nuclear weapons programme.
Therefore, you may appreciate my contemplating Iran’s schemes behind Obama’s ‘nuclear deal’ and possibility of its disrupting Israel’s independence anniversary. (Even as I write, John Kerry is seeking to salvage what he so assiduously crafted to subvert Israel’s security.) Recently, its regime pledged to ‘annihilate’ Israel in any war, presumably by a nuclear strike! My musing over God’s hand staying such action by opening up the ground beneath Iran’s nuclear facilities was soon validated.
Thus, the timing of my writing these two posts got tampered with, not only temporarily but also spiritually. SO let’s keep our antennae attuned to what’s being synchronised.
ISRAEL’S 70 YEARS
Thursday 19th April 2018 was a date destined and now written in human history. Let me briefly set the scene:
It was the 70th Independence Day of the modern state of Israel, and which is especially interesting in the light of observations by financial analyst Eric Hadik. In revisiting his work I wanted to introduce readers to his theory of April being a historically significant month, especially for the USA as well as Israel. His observations are that April 19th-20th onwards has a very high probability of being a critical date in warfare and terrorism. With that in mind he overlooked a fact hardly known outside Israel; that 19th April is when the Memorial Day for fallen Israeli soldiers rolls right into Independence Day. It is different to Israel’s official, internationally recognised birth on 14th May 1948.
Immediately before and after 19th April, hostilities in adjoining Syria took an increasingly dangerous turn with the distinct possibility of war breaking out between Israel and Iran. It was much more than bellicose ‘sabre-rattling’ for their swords were already drawn and cut-and-thrust about to get under way.
By ‘coincidence’ a geological ‘act of God’ took place on 19th April 2018 – the 5.5 magnitude earthquake in the vicinity of Iran’s nuclear power plant at Bushehr. As mentioned, I’d already mused on a ‘quake happening and blogged:
‘…we could reasonably consider this may be a direct warning to Iran that the same, or bigger, can so easily happen to its nuclear programme at any time! Moreover, its occurring on the year’s cyclically critical date of 19-20 April is surely no coincidence!
This strong earthquake on the 70th Anniversary of Israel’s Independence and hot in the heels of my blogging on historic dates and cycles, prompted me to consider biblical references to number 70; especially what’s known as ‘Daniel’s 70-Weeks‘, or more specifically 70 ‘sevens’ or years of weeks.
As well as the timing and location of that ‘quake, the significance of its close proximity to Iran’s nuclear power facility would make it of high geopolitical import within only a few days. On Monday 30th April, Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu publicly announced Mossad’s possession of those Iranian secret files.
JEREMIAH’S 70 YEARS
There was another and highly important 70-year period in Israel’s history. It was 2,500 years ago, when the leading governor in Babylon, the Jewish prophet Daniel, discovered it during his interceding for his people in captivity there. As he sought the Lord in the first year of king Darius on how long their exile would last (Dan 9:1-2), God showed him the prophecy of Jeremiah that it would last 70 years (Jer 29:10), and it would be extended to ‘seventy sevens‘, or 490 years (Dan:24-27).
DANIEL’S 70 ‘YEARS’
So, could the just-completed 70 years of modern Israel’s history as a free nation be of any relevance to that first 70 years of captivity? Moreover and maybe far more importantly, could it have any relevance or bearing upon the long-awaited final ‘week’ (or seven years) of Daniel’s 70 ‘years of weeks’??
Could the earthquake on Israel’s 70th Independence Day be of significance not to Iran alone, but to Israel too in showing that God is acting in its history and clearly pointing to the great importance of the Jeremiah 70 years and the Daniel 70 ‘years’???
Also, does what Veronika West heard, “The nations of the earth are being perfectly aligned with heaven’s time”, have anything to do with the periods prophesied by Jeremiah and Daniel? I believe it does.
A notification of this in my in-tray preceded a private message on keeping our unity of the Spirit as we move forward in the healing ministry. SO, I believe we all need to know and weigh this fresh word. Thank you Lord – and Jarrod:
In prayer this morning (3rd May 2018), I felt this word from heaven. I sense God would say: There is a ripping open of the heavenly realms above the United Kingdom right now – bringing the Church into a new season in God. Encounters are increasing; the prophetic realm is being amplified, clarified, and magnified…
Global exposure and condemnation at long last of this nasty, pretentious Holocaust denier’s vile personality. Next, Britain’s Labour Party and its leader…?
(Jerusalem) — In January, I said on Fox News that “we may be heading for a post-Abbas era.” That day just grew much closer. World leaders from the United Nations to the European Union to the German government and the U.S. are publicly condemning a speech Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas gave this week as “anti-Semitic,” […]
Thank you ‘Nicholas’ for such an informative, succinct summary of the status of the House of Lords…yet we must ask why bishops remain unaware of the Lord’s mind on the EU!
It has come to my attention that Parliament has received a petition asking for a referendum on the question of abolishing the House of Lords. Parliament has agreed to debate this petition, which raises the possibility that such a referendum may one day happen.
Conservativism and sentimentality would ordinarily make such a proposition distasteful to a great number of Britons. The times have changed, however, and the anger of the nation, much like steam in a pressure cooker, is building, still to be dissipated.
The House of Lords is not what it once was. During the Blair years, a great number of hereditary peers, bastions of British conservatism and patriotism, were presented by the Commons with a choice: stay in the legislature, but give up your hereditary peerage; or keep your hereditary peerage, but leave the legislature. A large number…

A reader’s comment to the previous post on interceding for Brexit reminded me I’d seen an item in Why Leave The EU? about a petition to Parliament and signed it. This official Petition to Parliament reads as follows:
‘Give the electorate a referendum on the abolition of the House of Lords
‘The House of Lords is a place of patronage where unelected and unaccountable individuals hold a disproportionate amount of influence and power which can be used to frustrate the elected representatives of the people.’
The government responds to petitions of over 10,000 signatories and this morning I received an update direct from UK Government and Parliament advising,
‘Parliament is going to debate the petition you signed – The debate is scheduled for 18 June 2018’.
This petition quickly shot through 140,000 signatories this morning and I’d urge you, if you’ve not already done so, to put intercessory prayer and prophetic declaration into effect and join me with other readers of this blog in signing this Petition:
Here’s a few objections in the Press, courtesy Jonathan Ely’s eye-opening news-feed Why Leave The EU? – it’s far superior to the British Brainwashing Cult aka BBC!
Betraying Brexit Voters is playing with fire – Melanie Phillips: ‘The constitutional crisis bubbling just below the surface ever since Britain voted to leave the EU is now at the point of eruption. That crisis is the prospect of parliament pitting itself against the people…’
Let’s not overlook the European Research Group of powerful Eurosceptic conservative leaders led by Jacob Rees-Mogg, who are admonishing the PM that her latest customs union proposal could ‘collapse the Government’ (May warned Brexit deal will sink her).
UPDATE 16th May: The Cabinet Office has responded to this petition – click to read.
The Petitions team in UK Government and Parliament advises that the petition has over 100,000 signatures and The Petitions Committee will consider it for a debate. Also, it can gather further evidence and press the government for action. The Committee is made up of 11 MPs, from political parties in government and in opposition. It is entirely independent of the Government. For more about the Committee click here.

Further to the most timely American Dreams of England and the EU in view of the vote yesterday in the House of Lords (second parliamentary chamber of unelected peers, retired politicians and Anglican bishops, most of whom cannot hear God direct and thus know His will on the EU) against the democratically expressed will of the British people, Suzanne Payne at UK Prophetic Words has kindly compiled some words relating to Tony’s dreams for weighing and intercession. I’ve added one to which his first dream had immediately reminded me and comes from a teacher known to us, David Noakes. Note that all emphases are mine:
‘Pray for those in authority. Pray for Theresa May. Pray for the government, not to be deceived or taken in by the accusations from the EU who refuse to allow what they call ‘cherry-picking’. This nation needs to cherry-pick. This actually means to get the deal which is right, fair and honest.
“So, My beloved, get behind this in prayer, and pray that this government will not buckle but that it will stand firm. And pray that the borders in Ireland will be hard borders. Pray that you will come out completely,” says the Lord’ (from the EU).
‘…and I said ‘Lord, what’s with this Brexit?’. He immediately spoke to me and He said, “This has been by My Sovereign hand that the vote went the way it did, I am safeguarding Britain for when Europe falls. Europe is being shaken, and will fall. It will fall,” says God, “but Britain has separated itself, and because of this vote, the UK will not fall…
‘That’s why it happened. There were people who cried out and said ‘Lord would you heal Britain, would you hear our cry’, and He did. So even though it goes beyond some people’s’ understanding, God says He is safeguarding Britain through this vote. God is asking a people of faith to get behind this. Believe that He’s answered a cry of prayer…
‘And the reason that the reaction of people is so volatile is because the Beast has been stirred. The Beast has been stirred. Because he is into a One World Order, and what has this done? It’s messed it up, and that’s why family members are at odds, and neighbours. Why has it caused such animosity, I mean why are people so aggressive with each other over it? (It’s) because it’s stirred a very deep root and stronghold that’s over this whole nation, and the enemy is not happy. But God had the victory.”
‘I saw complete and utter darkness over the EU that was so thick like a smoke that you could not see at all, I could hear the thunder and see the lightning hitting the EU hard, coming down, I saw people running for cover. I looked across the channel and I saw the UK, it was calm and quiet. I saw the Lion waking up from a deep deep sleep, waking up chains were broken, and roaring and roaring and roaring; the ground is shaking underneath as a result.’
‘I was lifted up into the heavenly Realms and was sat next to our Father, looking down on Europe as it was thousands of years ago, when the UK was joined to the mainland mass of Europe. As I watch, Father showed me how He moved the islands of the UK off the mainland over the years and caused us to become separate from the rest of Europe. Then He spoke to me and said, “Did I not pull the UK off the rest of Europe naturally that you might be who I would have you be?”
PROPHECY QUOTED in ‘IN THE FACE OF GOD‘ (see ‘Voice of Believers’, 7 April’16)
‘Some years back when I was praying for Europe one Tuesday afternoon, the Lord gave me an action picture of the map of Europe. I saw the UK right at the heart of Europe, then a big hand came and grabbed the whole nation, wrenched it out of Europe and put it back in its place, which is geographically where it is on maps. Then Europe imploded on itself, as if it was in tatters.’
‘Nation of Britain, I have loved you with a love which has not ceased, despite the state of apostasy and degradation into which you have fallen…“I warn you now that the European institution will not repent, even though I bring disaster and destruction upon it. I urge you, O Britain still beloved by Me for the sake of your godly forefathers, come out of her, so that you may not be caught up in that same destruction, for I am even now arising in judgment to bring to nothing what she has sought to achieve. If you will separate yourself from her declared rejection of God, I will have mercy upon you and restore my hand of protection; and I will use you once again to bring light to many lost in the darkness which is now steadily increasing…” (See Fulfilled Prophecies #13 and Cont’d)
Thank you to Tony Puccio in Tucson, Arizona, USA, with whom myself and another editor have been in detailed discussion about the following, which he’s since posted on My Dreams and Visions. The second dream came last night and I teased him,”You sure you’ve not been reading our weekend papers or watching our news?”. I know that in living out in the Sonora desert east of the Rockies he doesn’t follow or get in-depth UK news, which he confirms:
‘Being that I don’t have cable I don’t watch television except for an occasional movie from Netflix. I would love to know why, not that I’m complaining, the Lord is giving me all these dreams regarding England.’
‘I want to share a dream I had a few nights ago. In the dream I saw what looked like the whole of Europe burning. Unfortunately it was not the fire of revival but rather a destructive fire. I then saw England and while the glow from the fire illuminated it, England itself was not affected by the fire. That was the end of the dream.
‘I had a subsequent dream a few nights later where I saw England moving away from Europe like a sailing vessel. Then I heard what sounded like cannon fire but instead of seeing cannon balls I saw many grappling hooks attached to ropes fired into the air. There were many grappling hooks fired but none were successful in attaching.
‘I see this as a possible, albeit unsuccessful, attempt to keep England from leaving the EU.
‘In light of these two dreams I would say that intercession needs to be made that Brexit is successful in completely separating England from Europe as this would thwart the plans of the antichrist for a unified Europe. England must remain separate and sovereign.’
To Tony’s closing remark Suzanne Payne at UK Prophetic Words replies, “Yes, that is what the Lord has said all along through His prophets, and that is what the intercessors have unceasingly been praying.” [Both emphases mine.]
“There is a new season coming; God is going to display His Mighty works and the Fires are starting to burn.
Hear what the Lord is saying: “Bring the dry wood; bring yourselves in surrender to Him and you will see the fulfillment of the purpose of God to bring revival in these last days.”
I hear the Lord hearing from you, ‘Do you mean me Lord, can you really use me?’
The Lord says, “All I need is your willingness and I will take you to heights that have never been experienced before. “I have redeemed you with a price so that you will be my favoured servants. You will see with your own eyes my great love for your Nation.”
Peter Barnes, 28th April 2018
Peter leads Rivers Of Fire Ministries International, London, and has a strong prophetic gifting. God has commissioned him to prepare specific regions and nations for revival, breaking down strongholds over them, decreeing and heralding in revival.
NOTE:
This was published early yesterday and, unusually for a Sunday morning, I booted up my phone, saw and read it and thought of telling our rector at pre-service prayer time. As the AGM was to be held immediately after the communion service, the actual service was to start over half an hour earlier than usual. Also unusually, the rector Revd Inglis-Jones asked prayer and ministry teams to attend 1/2 hour earlier to wait upon the Lord for words to give the combined congregations from both parish churches.
We arrived on time and, whilst the rector was preparing, I told him about the above and read it aloud. Not having had time to share it in full with Nina, my wife remarked its very similar to the brief word she’d had in her earlier quiet time. A few minutes later, one of the team joined us in the chapel and brought a word on the same theme of the Lord encouraging each of us to take His hand and let Him use us for His glory.
Therefore, in having two confirmations this word brought by Peter is noteworthy and deserves our careful attention and application!
What do you think about coincidences? Is it God trying to get our attention? Or, as Einstein said, “a small miracle where God chooses to remain anonymous?”
