Jigsaw Pieces PS: a personal full circle (27), insights on a ‘kairos moment’

EXTRA INSIGHTS

Previous post’s introduction to the 7th of latest round of jigsaw pieces in the Lord’s Invisible Jigsaw puts them in a spiritual framework I hadn’t previously perceived, which had been erected by the ‘Free’ church linked to the Baptist Union He put me in 36 years ago to get a good grounding in scripture – and later I got plugged into a prophetic socket through an inter-church prayer group, likewise training in healing and deliverance with Ellel Ministries.

As with completing a jigsaw, the New Year’s pause and mulling over matters helped me check December’s 7 pieces were fitting together and pleased to see a few connections with the bigger picture comprising 8 jigsaw pieces plus additional insights, as follows:

1. “HEBREWS 12.26” was a Holy Spirit ‘drop’ I heard inwardly 25 or more years ago. So I then read the contextual verses 25-29 and they’ve stayed with me to watch out for eventual fulfilment.

2. Moreover, pre- and post-New Year Saturday Mens’ Bible Breakfast had arrived at those very verses in our months-long working through the Book to the Hebrews; thus reinforcing my suspicion of their significance as a ‘kairos’ (now) prophetic scripture.

3. Mary K Dullforce’s comment as the 5th piece includes a prophecy she received in 2011 that was confirmed in a word Veronika West brought 5 years later. It took a while to dawn on me that both years are of personal relevance!

> 2011 fits into the 3rd piece in not only what Bill Johnson said recently, as shown in the screenshot, but also it was the year he was in London and I had a connected dream of the Kingdom being set up, all as recounted in Father, Let Your Kingdom Come!

> 2016 is when I was musing with the Lord over His exposing political rot and corruption in politics here and across the ‘pond’, on which this is 727th posting!

4. During worship yesterday I recalled the ‘sword vision’ of 12/12 , opened my Bible to read it and recalled two references to a sword coming out of Jesus’ mouth as seen by apostle John.

> THEN I got a double whammy in having said in the 1st piece the vision may have a bearing on Revelation 19:15, for the very same numerics relate to the principle of two or three witnesses’ testimonies establishing a matter > Deuteronomy 19:15.

> AND that sword verse not only repeats John’s first vision of it coming from Jesus mouth in Revelation 1:16He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword…’ – but it also endorses and echoes the foundational statement of testimony by there being TWO references within Revelation to that holy feature.

5. Yesterday, 3Counties Vineyard’s leader spoke about our Vision for 2026 – its 60th birthday – and mentioned having made a numerics printing error in citing Isaiah 61.1 (The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me…to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners...) instead of 60.1 (Arise, shine; For your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you! – NB verse 2: See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples.’ )
BUT it is a Holy Spirit ‘slip’ for both verses apply and the references at the start of those two chapters to ‘darkness’ connects into my open vision of 12/12 of darkness being cut by a sweeping bright yellow, or golden, double-bladed sword!

6. Upon revisiting the post about a Near Death Experience (NDE) I realise it must be a part of this bigger picture, but my focus had been on America as well as gathering the previous week into an orderly account to make some sense of what the Lord’s doing.

‘KAIROS MOMENT’
A kairos moment is defined as a divinely appointed or opportune time, distinct from the sequential, measurable passage of time known as chronos. It signifies a decisive, qualitative moment when circumstances align with a higher purpose, often marking a turning point for transformation, fulfillment, or action. In biblical contexts, kairos refers to the appointed time in God’s plan—such as when Jesus declared “the time is fulfilled” in Mark 1:15, indicating the arrival of the kingdom of God.
This concept extends beyond religious usage, appearing in classical rhetoric where it denotes the ideal moment for effective action, likened to the precise instant an archer can shoot an arrow or a weaver can pass a shuttle through fabric. The term is also applied in modern contexts to describe pivotal personal, spiritual, or societal moments—such as a sudden realization, a life-changing opportunity, or a collective shift in history—where decisive action can lead to lasting change.

RECAP

Pre-Christmas busyness diverted writing about a personal vision but the delay fitted into the Lord’s timescale of confirmation in a word my prolific prophet friend would publish. In the meantime a video….I’m always wary of prophecies about dates, but that post has specific points on which I’m about to write and which occurred, like picking individual pieces of a jigsaw out of its box, viz:

Carols – Isaiah – PRAY – SWORD – Putting Christ Back vs Islam – Crusades – Bondi Beach murders – unusual dream – Bill Johnson quote – my dream – query re BJ > 2011 KINGDOM – Goliath no sword – P4N prayer note – Kingdom word 17/12 > sword and shaking – TFC! (20/12)’

Here’s how the pre-Christmas items fit together like jigsaw pieces:

December:
  1. 12th – Vision of sword on asking about Jesus’ Kingdom per Isaiah 9 and 11
  2. 13th – Putting Christ back into Christmas, standing against Islam – a Crusade! (Next day saw Muslims murder Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach)
  3. 14th – Dream of blogging, Bill Johnson, my 2011 dream setting up the Kingdom
  4. 16th – God-incidental ‘an army without a sword’ query re email from Wales,
  5. 16th – God-incidental comments regarding revival in Wales.
  6. 18th – Prayer For Nations and rhema word on tares and a shaking.
  7. 17th – ‘Now’ word for 2026 > “KING’s DOMain”, sharp sword, greater shakings and “My Kingdom is unshakeable and My Throne Immovable”.
  8. 22nd – Video account of NDE confirms focus on Isaiah 9 and 11 and Hebrews 12:25-29 profound shaking.

Another piece of The Invisible Jigsaw is put into place

Jigsaw pieces cont’d (3): the Lord’s sword – His Kingdom – Crusade – Shaking

Bringing prophetic pieces together

As before: ‘…covered very specific points on which I was about to write and they’d occurred rather like my picking individual pieces of a jigsaw out of its box, viz:

Carols – Isaiah – PRAY – SWORD – Putting Christ Back vs Islam – Crusades – Bondi Beach murders – unusual dream – Bill Johnson quote – my dream – query re BJ > 2011 KINGDOM – Goliath no sword – P4N prayer note – Kingdom word 17/12 > sword and shaking – TFC! (20/12)’

Now let’s see how they may fit together’ – as in the last post, others joined in to pick out some jigsaw pieces:

Pieces Thus Far (December dates):
  1. 12th – Vision of sword on asking about Jesus’ Kingdom per Isaiah 9 and 11
  2. 13th – Putting Christ back into Christmas, standing against Islam – a Crusade! (Next day saw Muslims murder Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach)
  3. 14th – Dream of blogging, Bill Johnson, my 2011 dream setting up the Kingdom
  4. 16th – God-incidental ‘an army without a sword’ query re email from Wales,
  5. 16th – God-incidental comments regarding revival in Wales.

6th JIGSAW PIECE

Wednesday 18th December Ben Kay issued his regular 12amCry zoom prayer alert, especially regarding Bondi Beach maniacal massacre and anti-Semitism within the Church. along with a sobering rhema word received on the first night of Chanukah (Sunday 14th December) and entrusted to ‘KM’ in USA.

It’s an extensive word elaborating in depth about the darkness I’d seen a couple of days earlier on Friday 12th, which I knew connects into Hebrews 12:25-19 ‘Great Shaking’ – verses the Lord had unforgettably dropped in my mind and spirit 25 or more years ago in a Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist) house group, viz:

Hear the Heavenly Voice

25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I [a]shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we [b]may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Hence, my 400+ postings on The Shaking and now the American prophet confirms two major ‘drops’ the Lord gave me: NOT ONLY her opening on wheat and tares…

“The clock is ticking. The alarm is about to sound off. Time is about to expire … time for My children to wake up so that they might avoid destruction and loss due to their apathy, apostasy, and rebellion against My way, will, and word. The impregnated harvest field of multiplying tares is in full form. What will you reap?…”

[The Endgame is Now in Play refers to the Lord’s ‘drop’ in 2008 upon that parable, and in 2016 the ripening of tares as Exposures of political rot.]

..BUT ALSO this on The Shaking (underlining is mine):

“What do you see in this present hour? What is occupying your field of vision? What is flowing into your ears? Have you not seen the innocent blood being shed continually, the irrational hatred, the violence and the upheaval in nature, as well as the chaos manifesting in all of society? Have you not heard the foundations cracking under your feet, nor felt the heat of the fires from hell’s lava moving upward toward you from underground? Have you not smelled the putrid stench of corruption in governments, nor heard the outcries of other humans being sold, trafficked and killed to enrich the wicked? ALL THAT CAN BE SHAKEN IS BEING SHAKEN, and yet, as you slumber on, there must be more shaking yet to come. WAKE UP!”

Jigsaw pieces cont’d (2): the Lord’s sword – His Kingdom – Crusade – Shaking

Reminder from original post: ‘Please note, I’m always wary of prophecies about dates, but that previous post covers very specific points on which I was about to write and they’d occurred, just like my picking individual pieces of a jigsaw out of a box, viz:

Carols – Isaiah – PRAY – SWORD – Putting Christ Back vs Islam – Crusades – Bondi Beach murders – unusual dream – Bill Johnson quote – my dream – query re BJ > 2011 KINGDOM – Goliath no sword – P4N prayer note – Kingdom word 17/12 > sword and shaking – TFC! (20/12)

Pieces Thus Far:
  1. Vision of sweeping sword on asking about Jesus’ Kingdom per Isaiah 9 and 11
  2. Putting Christ back into Christmas and taking stand against Islam – a Crusade! (Next day saw Muslims murder Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach)
  3. Dream of blogging, Bill Johnson, my 2011 dream setting up the Kingdom.

NEXT, I find the Lord is using prophetical teamwork in order to establish a matter (Deut 19:15) and as Paul writes to the early Corinthian churchFor you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged” (1Cor 14:31).

4th JIGSAW PIECE

The first three pieces appeared over Fri-Sun 12-14th December, then on Tuesday 16th one of our house group emailed me as follows,

“Hi Richard, Thought you might be interested in this.
I’m not too sure what this means: “Goliath is about to appear and we are an army without a sword facing the biggest battle of our lives.”

As you and I know, I was most certainly interested and knew about the sword – and more was yet to come! So at our evening group told him about what I’d seen during Friday’s worship with carols evening.

My brother quoted a remark in a message he attached entitled, ‘A Christmas update from the Don’t Walk In The Dark Project’ (based in Wales at The Big Rock cafe on Porthmadog high street). That email begins “..Yet as my mind is drawn to Don’t Walk In The Dark we have woken up to a Hanukkah massacre on Bondi Beach, Australia. With 15 killed and numbers rising it is a tragic proof that we live in increasing darkness.

Most pertinently, my house group brother’s single sentence falls within this paragraph (emphases mine):

“The Don’t walk in the Dark project is a call to the church to wake up and strengthen the things that remain. The darkness has come upon us and without the word of God we are without a light and hopeless walk in the dark blindly leading the blind. Goliath is about to appear and we are an army without a sword facing the biggest battle of our lives. Since 2022 we taken the challenge ourselves and have begun to produce resources to challenge the church to pick up their Bibles, read their Bibles and dare to live separately according to its truths.'”

So, do you see how this God-incidental ‘out-of-the-blue’ email query connects directly like a jigsaw piece into the previous three I’d already seen? WE NOW HAVE A SWORD!

Goliath was the gigantic warrior of the Philistine army that shepherd boy David slew, as told in 1 Samuel 17, thus we perceive its demonic spirit has again arisen within Muslims against the Jewish people and their Covenantal Land, as well as Christians in a ‘global intifada’ inspired and empowered by satan itself!

YET MORE was yet to come…two days as well as a fortnight later…!!

5th JIGSAW PIECE

Next, but unknown to me two days later on Thursday 18th, Mary K Dullforce blogged about Revival returning to Wales and yesterday – a fortnight after 4th piece of the Lord’s invisible jigsaw coming out of the box – she comments upon Prophecies on Jesus’ Holy Titles and Fulfilment as follows:

“The LORD prompted me to re-post and send forth in a Blaze Campaign this prophetic message about Revivals again breaking forth in nations during the Christmas and New Year Season in this year and the years to come. This Word of Knowledge and Revelation dovetails to confirm the Three Rivers Prophecy I received in 2011 and later was received and re-confirmed to Veronika West in 2025.

So I am sharing the same Blogpost with you here. It received over 6,900 clicks in over 16 countries during the 4 day campaign on WordPress.”

Christmas times Of Revival Coming Again!

Therein Mary writes,

“…I later heard The LORD Decree after I picked up this artwork after the event the following declaration and decree:

“I have called Wales to become once more the Fulcrum of My Initiative for Revival to spread throughout the nations.”

The division will be self evident between those who reject Him and draw away from Him. I received two scripture references when I painted this prophetic artwork at the English – Welsh Border Prayer Walk Event in 2011. First, as I painted, I heard this reference to Isaiah 64:1-2 and second Luke 12:49-53.”

3rd JIGSAW PIECE

Friday-Saturday 12-13th December I had an unusual dream about my blogging and its purpose, then later saw and shared something on Facebook that seemed to connect into my vision during the carol service:

A reader queried this and I replied as below:

Jigsaw pieces: the Lord’s sword – His Kingdom – Crusade – Shaking

Anyone tracking my personal Facebook timeline or this blog’s ‘Noticeboard’ and Prophecy Validations on Telegram will be aware of blog-related ‘quickies’ thereon, whereas this blog covers long-term ongoing topics that crop up, as with the five posts Russiagate and 2020 election exposures

However, they – along with pre-Christmas busyness – diverted me from writing about a personal vision I’d had; but the delay fitted into the Lord’s timescale of confirmation in a word my prophet friend would publish. BUT then, yet another dropped onto me that had to take immediate priority as it claimed to have a time-stamp of manifestation – AND now today too.

Please note, I’m always wary of prophecies about dates, but that previous post covers very specific points on which I was about to write and they’d occurred rather like my picking individual pieces of a jigsaw out of its box, viz:

Carols – Isaiah – PRAY – SWORD – Putting Christ Back vs Islam – Crusades – Bondi Beach murders – unusual dream – Bill Johnson quote – my dream – query re BJ > 2011 KINGDOM – Goliath no sword – P4N prayer note – Kingdom word 17/12 > sword and shaking – TFC! (20/12)

Now let’s see how they may fit together:

1st JIGSAW PIECE

Since Summer we’ve been blessed to attend monthly Holy Spirit-filled worship evenings at Waverley Abbey College. Friday 12th December was held indoors with local superb choristers of schoolchildren augmented by senior male voices. A most heavenly ascent of Christmas carols included the usual scripture readings of Isaiah’s prophecies and I reflected in particular upon verses of the coming One’s Kingdom rulership (emphases mine; Isaiah 9 proceeds to tell how that will happen in those times):

Isaiah 9:6-7 – The Government of the Promised Son

‘For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.’

Isaiah 11 – The Reign of Jesse’s Offspring

‘There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

3 His delight is in the fear of the Lord,
And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,
Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;
4 But with righteousness He shall judge the poor,
And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
5 Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins,
And faithfulness the belt of His waist.’ (NKJV)

Yet another confirmation comes in this morning’s devotional by Revd David Strutt in Sanctuary wherein he cites Isaiah 11:10 (NASB > interesting comparison with NKJV):

‘Then in that day the nations will resort to the root of Jesse, Who will stand as a signal for the peoples; And His resting place will be glorious.’

‘And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious.

The carols were followed by a brief teaching on P.R.A.Y. = PRAISE + REPENT + ASK + YIELD.

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

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

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

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

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

‘Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.’

There’s also Hebrews 4:12:

‘For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart.’

2nd JIGSAW PIECE

Next day saw the Putting Christ Back Into Christmas worship rally in central London, to take a stand against the anti-Christ spirit that’s arisen in and dominating Britain.

However, that demon’s stooges murdered and wounded dozens of people the next day on Bondi Beach, Australia, who were celebrating the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.

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

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

Urgent near-death revelation for TODAY

December is always busy in prepping for Christmas and I’m drafting a post about some personal ‘jigsaw pieces’ for – to mix metaphors – we know there’s often a hidden thread in our lives but…STOP PRESS!

This video popped up yesterday as though to support my stance in a contentious thread about Israel, Jews and Christianity.

Description: A devout Jewish scholar dies on a storm-soaked highway and is thrust into a profound near-death experience (NDE) that dismantles the certainty he carried for decades. In this NDE—where awareness continues even as the body breaks—he is confronted by Jesus and given a message that carries urgent weight before December 22. What he witnesses overturns a lifetime of Jewish tradition as he understood it, revealing truth he never allowed himself to consider. His return becomes a warning shaped by impact, silence, and revelation, urging every viewer to pay attention before time runs out. Watch until the end.’

Not only the whole account is startling but also from my perspective its confirmation of my long-standing blogging theme of the Hebrews 12:25-29 profound Shaking plus my recent focus on Isaiah 9 and 11 (to be recounted in next post), are both featured in the Lord’s narrative to the ‘deceased’ rabbi at these timepoints:

11.07 – “…they are spiritually anorexic, they have replace d the Bread of Life with distractions of the enemy and because they are weak when the Shaking comes – and it IS coming – they will not have the strength to endure..”

21:24 – “..but My own are anchored to a Kingdom that cannot be shaken..” 23:31 – “..as the Shaking intensifies..”  (the huge grand trees fell because their roots are shallow but the small insignificant shrubs don’t fall when the earthquake strikes because these small plants had roots that went down for miles they have long strong roots going deep into the soil and anchored deep into the bedrock)…

24:28 – “The Root of Jesse“, Jesus said, “The storm that is coming will not respect fame.. they will stand because they are rooted in Me” 

Isaiah 11 – The Reign of Jesse’s Offspring

There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. (NKJV)

Anti-Trump Conspiracy: 4 – Russiagate truth starts to emerge, confirms UK role!

The ongoing MASSIVE exposures of America’s political Deep State corruption makes the Russiagate hoax far, far worse than Watergate!

Its root lies in such seditious hatred it can only be part of satanic strategy and I’m not at all happy with claims of British Intelligence involvement – even complicit collusion – and of which I’ve read in-depth analyses elsewhere (eg Barbara Boyd).

This week I’d intended writing on what I saw in the spirit last Friday evening, but further eruptions of exposure news need to be handled (722 items already posted on this blog). Yet more immediately followed from Joe Hoft writing on how Svetlana Lokhova obtains her ‘breaking’ information on the Deep State from a certain man!

He notes professor Lokhova is a “British Historian and Eyewitness Exposing the Grand Conspiracy Against President Trump.” [Bio at Footnote]

‘Right after the death of democrat mouthpiece Rob Reiner and his wife were killed, Svetlana Lokhova located a video of Reiner conspiring with Deep State operators John Brennan and James Clapper. This showed how deep Reiner was in the Deep State’s attempted coup of the first Trump Administration.’ 

The brief video is already on my Telegram and may be watched here.

ESPECIALLY interesting is the start date for all this = 2016, which is when I asked Is the Lord Exposing Rotten Politics? ..UK, USA, EU??

‘Svetlana also shared a couple of days ago the evidence on why Biden’s Deep State raided Mar-a-Lago. This, too, was brilliant.

“WHY THEY RAIDED MAR-A-LAGO: MY EVIDENCE

Brennan’s CIA and Comey’s FBI ran anti-Trump ops from the UK, via Stef Halper and Chris Steele.

Gina Haspel was head of the CIA station in London, Alan Kohler was the FBI liaison.

In 2016, to stop Donald Trump, the false story was fabricated in London by intel operatives Halper and Steele that I had an affair with Gen Flynn, and that I was a Russian spy…”

In another quotation pertinent to this blog, Joe Hoft cites more from Svetlana’s X account (emphasis mine):

“People ask how I found this video, or even if it’s real because it’s so shocking. It is real and here is how I found it. For 9 years, I follow what President Trump says about the Grand Conspiracy because he knows everything.
He actually filters how much he reveals to the public because the truth is shocking and people need time to absorb it.
So when he said Reiner was one of the organizers of the Russiagate conspiracy, I knew he meant it literally. Then it was the question of finding out precisely how. We already know that Hillary created Russiagate and Obama organized it. Brennan and Clapper were in charge of implementing in. So it was a just a question of finding how they all connect. The rest was just lots of research. The video was on Reiner’s website as a placeholder but they actually deleted it to cover tracks. So I found it elsewhere.:”

Joe’s closing line:

‘FOLLOW THE LEAD. THE LEAD IS PRESIDENT TRUMP.’

Author Biography – Amazon:

Svetlana Lokhova is a By-Fellow of Churchill College, University of Cambridge. She holds an MPhil and BA (Hons) in History from University of Cambridge.

Svetlana’s first book, ‘The Spy Who Changed History’ is an “ASTONISHING BOOK ABOUT ASTONISHING PEOPLE”. “The story of how one of America’s top universities “gave” Soviet spies the means to build a superpower …’beggars belief’. The book gained a 5-star review by the Daily Telegraph.

The book is ‘SUPERBLY RESEARCHED” and “GROUNDBREAKING”. The “most remarkable achievement is to shift our perception of the centre of 20th-century espionage from Cambridge, England, to Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Svetlana’s interest in espionage history began whilst studying History at Cambridge University. Her Master’s dissertation remains the definitive account of the founder of the Soviet intelligence service, Felix Dzerzhinsky.

She is responsible for a number of the most important archival discoveries made in recent years. Her revelations have generated substantial press coverage across the world.

Svetlana identified the Cambridge ‘Sixth Man’ Cedric Belfrage featured on the BBC Television News and Radio. The story of Britain’s ‘Hollywood Spy’ was told on a specially commissioned programme.

From her work on the ‘Mitrokhin Archive’, she found the identity of ‘MIKE’, a US Cold War KGB recruit, and revealed the KGB’s plans to recruit President Nixon’s chief physician.

She has spoken about the Mitrokhin archive on US Public Service Radio, Radio Free Europe, the BBC and ABC (Australia).

She was until recently a Fellow of the Cambridge [UK] Security Initiative jointly chaired by the former head of MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove, and Professor Christopher Andrew, former Official Historian of the MI5.’

The Tent of the Meeting’s double-dose God-incidence!

Don’t you too love the Lord’s timing? Especially as though confirming the validity of a matter, thus as though two witnesses are establishing it per Deuteronomy 19:15.

So, after being nudged to blog about a God-incidental linkage between a powerful prophetic foreshadowing (Veronika West) and a paperback edition of the above book, I scheduled the post for automatic publication Thursday evening after political posts.

A ‘God-incidental’ republishing and a prophetic foreshadowing of the Tabernacle and Revival

So I didn’t get to share it over to the blog’s ‘noticeboard’ on Telegram but, as usual, I first read BibleGateway’s Verse for the Day 1Chron 16:8  and then the full chapter. I was amazed at its opening of the Tabernacle, of David’s Tent of Meeting:

MY, SOME ‘GOD-INCIDENCE’ !!  The first post was a ‘God-incidence, so the next day’s very first item for my attention makes it a double God-incidence!

Therefore, the Lord must be encouraging us to consider buying Peter’s book! (Available at Amazon)

Triple validation of my life-changing Visitation

A little time was needed to gain a fuller understanding of 1989’s awesome Visitation – the absolute holiness of the Lord Jesus Christ in contrast to my personal sinful nature. No wonder I expected to die and was convicted of my sin!

That encounter used two very personal aspects of my life to grab my attention, thereby validating the experience as real, not an imaginary one. Even more amazingly, both validations are directly related to the 1st and 2nd Advents!  Thus, they couldn’t fail to enhance my interest in End-Times and which had been launched a few years earlier by The Invisible Hand (described herein).

The First Advent was the time when Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea about two thousand years ago. Hence, the four weeks leading into Christmas are designated within the church calendar as Advent, and which start the church year.

The Second Advent is coming soon and is expected to focus upon Jerusalem, Israel.

FIRST VALIDATION

I inwardly ‘knew’ the heavenly visitor was indeed Jesus, and that the impressive action was a foretaste of his promised return, when He will come in all His power and glory.

The event reminded me of my favourite picture in mother’s Missal, or service book of the Roman Mass.  This gave the content of every Sunday service throughout the year with a diagram symbolising the theme for each service.  As a boy keen on astronomy I’d been fascinated by the picture for First Sunday in Advent. This depicted Jesus standing on the clouds over a burning earth in the midst of sun, moon and falling stars, indicative of events before his Second Advent!

The confirmation referred to above came almost as unusually. On a healing retreat soon after Ellel Ministries opened at Pierrepont near Farnham in 1995, a prayer-minister told me God would show me something after lunch. Indeed, a lady who’d been seated at my table later confided between sessions that the Lord told her to show me something she greatly treasured.

christinclouds-lrgIt was a photo taken, it was claimed, from an aircraft over a thunderstorm. When developed, the photo bore an image of Jesus Christ, as though standing within clouds. However, the facial features were hazy, not defined. It was exactly like Jesus in my dream because I’d not seen His face.  (I recall dark, hazy clouds at the foot of the image. This one is published by Bible Probe  – A MUST READ!)

Upon seeing this photo my legs gave way – I couldn’t stand but fell into a nearby chair! My companion said I went so white she thought I was going to faint or fall.

Yet, just how did a stranger know to show me this photo?  I’d not divulged such a personal dream – she simply said, “It’s the Lord’s doing”.

SECOND VALIDATION

I was puzzled over the closing element of the dream-event, namely: upon my reaching towards Jesus’ feet to grasp His robe, it turned into the branch of a Christmas tree!  So, when I tugged, a Christmas tree toppled over and its fairy fell off and onto the floor.

Weird?  Not really, because that spot by the window was where the family Christmas tree used to be erected. It was a corner closely associated with Christmas.

As a devout Catholic, my mother had told me about Jesus from an early age. When I painted pictures I would put a blue stripe at the top of outdoor scenes to represent heaven, as children did. But I’d also draw a Christmas tree in heaven as being Jesus.

Why? Not only had I associated all the wonder of Christmas with his birthday but I also heard an actor  on TV mention his name whilst looking at a small fir-tree. So in my childish way I took the actor at his word and would draw Jesus as a Christmas tree.  Hence, four decades later the Visitation dream went on to connect real Jesus to that imaginary picture.

At its close, therefore, the dream-event signified the time had come to put away not only childish misconceptions but also all false teachings and replace them with absolute truth – the one who is the Truth in person.

Truly, the most fantastic Christmas present ever – one that’s daily an ever-present encouragement and help in every time of need, no matter how dire. Thank you Lord.

These events started in 1989 and culminated in 1995 with its prime confirmation. YET in another ‘coincidence’ – truly a ‘God-incidence’ – at a Pierrepont meeting that December I was sitting close to the large Christmas tree at the front of the hall and the speaker from Ellel Grange asked us to imagine how shocked and astonished Jesus’ disciples must have been when He walked through walls into their locked room after His Resurrection (John 20:19-20). It spoke straight into my own personal Visitation!

Yet more was to come!  Sixteen years later upon revisiting this story for the purposes of this blog, I was surprised by a couple more insights that dropped unbidden into mind.

One was tantalising: could the street number of my childhood home (212 – or “two twelve” as we’d say) possibly be significant in pointing toward the coming year? That is, to 2012!  (or, ‘two : no-number : twelve’).

Could that notion be true?  Such musing would be confirmed in a fascinating numerical manner at 2012’s first Christian conference we were to attend…Upon our arrival at the venue in Torquay I was curious about distance driven from home. The car’s odometer was ‘212‘ miles!

THIRD VALIDATION

Once again, timing proves crucial in presenting another objective confirmation!  Again, had I not been writing about the visitation I would have missed the crucial linkage!

Whilst writing instalments of My Journey Into Freedom (Sept-Oct 2013) I inserted a report on something pertinent that happened at that time in the USA, as recounted in the previous post. This came as a ‘new revelatory word’ from the Lord to Revd John Kilpatrick and began at 2:22am. This too, is very interesting on two counts. Numerically, because my birthday falls on a 22nd. Orally, because that word is directly relevant to my dream visitation in referring to the angelic host as well as in closing with Luke 21:28, namely:

“But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.”

My mother’s Missal for the First Sunday of Advent is shown below and notice how the scripture on page 69 links into my personal visitation and what pastor John brought.

Searching for Truth leads me into captivity

Me 1962

At Mum’s sister Jenny’s house, Leicester (1962).

The intellectual freedom of higher education in the ‘swinging 60’s’ enabled me to break loose from the values of my parents and their generation. Even so, I recognised their values had enabled them to come through the destruction and deprivation of the Great Depression, World War and post-war Britain austerity with great fortitude.

As outlined in “You Shouldn’t Be At Our School!”, a formative influence upon a child of the post-war ‘baby boom’ was the disharmony and hypocrisy between churches. In my mind it tarred all Christians with the same brush and badly reflected upon the God they believed in.

Nevertheless, when a child I’d once thought it must have been awesome to have been around Jesus and seen everything He said and did. Continue reading

A ‘God-incidental’ republishing and a prophetic foreshadowing of the Tabernacle and Revival

In a short time-slice at my pc on yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) I recalled contacting the author Peter Russell-Yarde several weeks ago, yet remain quite clueless on what I may have intended to do – or not – BUT then this flash of inspiration on a ‘holy connection’ hits me like a lightning-strike:

You may recall Veronika West’s account of what she heard from the Lord during Charlie Kirk’s memorial service in Arizona on 21st September, the eve of Rosh Hashanah – God’s glory going from a Tabernacle to Stadiums (another personal confirmation) – and published later by His Kingdom Prophecy:

It so happened concurrently a new paperback edition of one of Peter Russell-Yarde’s books was in preparation and became available on Amazon a month later, as described below:

‘The unique design of the Tent of the Meeting (or Tabernacle of Moses as its is also known) which was built strictly according to God’s instructions, clearly illustrates how God proposed to provide man with a permanent means of salvation. From the moment it was designed and constructed by those gifted by God, the Jews had before them the key to the complete plan of salvation.

Peter Russell-Yarde looks at the layout of the tabernacle court and tent to discover all the information necessary to explain why the Messiah had first to come as a suffering servant and how, through understanding God’s word, it is possible for any member of the human race to become spiritually alive to God and enter into a real and dynamic relationship with Him. It explains in detail why the virgin birth was vital to the sinlessness of the Messiah, and why the temple curtain was rent in two from top to bottom at the time of the Messiah’s death on the cross.

Covering the scripture from Genesis to Revelation, this book takes the reader from the moment of Adam’s creation, through the fall, the calling of Abram and the development of the nation of Israel under Moses and entering into the Promise Land.

It details how the design of the tabernacle and its services were meant to bring the Jews into an intimate and spiritual relationship with their God. The arrival of the Messiah, His life, teaching and cruel death was all foretold in its design.

This book is a revelation of truth providing the seeker after truth with more answers than questions. The rabbi who commissioned the work describes it as awesome, stressing that it inspired in him both awe and wonder.’

Now a day later and about to begin our long weekend by scheduling this for later today I return to that strong recommendation of the above book by the author’s rabbinic mentor, and have this by Wiz McCormick on Facebook, with whom I’ve been in touch on another matter:

“The book ‘The Origins of Life’ was fantastic. My mind was racing to get to the next page because the spiritual milk and meat was satisfying. Go shop Peter Yarde on Amazon to buy his books. I recommend The Origins of Life and God who created us as a recommendation. Please you have to check him out. The spiritual food is intense > Peter Russell-Yarde.”

Is 3rd November exposure of BBC a coincidental date?

In EXPLOSIVE Dossier Exposes BBC Anti-Trump and Anti-Israel Bigotry I refer to what had happened a week ago today, 3rd November:

‘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.’

Now note this paragraph found on Telegram and which the author has emboldened. I’ve reddened words that may relate to what happened to the BBC’s Director General and News CEO, as well as many others:

November 3 operations? Code for the storm’s eve. That was the spark – the day the gloves came off. Fast-forward to today: raids in the dead of night, traitors in cuffs, and leaks flooding the dark web. The cabal’s panicking. Their false flags? Busted wide. Their media mouthpieces? Crumbling under the weight of truth serum.

There’s no such thing as coincidence!  A God-incidence maybe?

EXPLOSIVE dossier exposes BBC anti-Trump and anti-Israel bigotry (Richard’s Watch goes full circle: 21 & 22)

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:.

Media manipulation of thought and emotions

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!

BBC BIAS DOSSIER – TRUMP

Daily Telegraph’s Associate Editor Gordon Rayner opens his 8-page report with brief comparison videos and he writes (emphases mine),

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 itsdistinctly 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.”

Investigator Sharyl Attkisson’s Definitive List of Media Mistakes in the Trump Era (181) relating to MSM in United States has been updated .

BBC BIAS DOSSIER – ISRAEL

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”.’

And that’s just the start of his 12-page report Arabic Bias Pushed Hama Lies..!

PS to The Kingdom, churches and politics…

A long-time subscriber and friend Elaine Venning makes this noteworthy contribution to The Kingdom, churches and politics: Professor Lennox addresses Parliament and it is strongly suggestive of the Lord’s interest and input:

Dear Richard

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.

Durham Cathedral / Events – Magna Carta and the North

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.’

Prophetic Encounter: Barry Wunsch in Intelligence Briefing

This is particularly pertinent and interesting in view of our coverage of Devolution, Continuity of Government, military operations and of the Societal Equation regarding America’s national breakdown into civil war or/and martial law. (AND ’22’ and two twos again!!)

The Canadian Hammer, [2025-10-15 2:55 PM]
Prophetic Encounter: Intelligence Briefing; China, North Korea, Russia, Ukraine, Iran and The United States of America
Sunday 2025.10.12
Respectfully Submitted,
Barry Wunsch

‘Sunday afternoon I was spending time with the Lord, soaking in His presence and was taken into the spirit, I found myself in China.

I was in a room where there was a very important meeting about to take place. It was a semi big room, people getting settled in for a briefing and strategic planning.

There were officials and leaders, inner core advisors, and generals, along with representation from foreign allies; Russian, North Korea and Iran.

As they were getting settled in, they were asked to rise as Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping entered the room to take his seat and begin proceedings.

I knew by the spirit that the recent developments between Israel and Hamas work had now shifted the scales and international dynamics, and they needed a response. They needed a strategic plan to respond to this and to President Trump and the American Administration. This work that had just been done was causing ripples.

The peace agreement had tipped the scales that would now put pressure on in other ways.

This was escalating.

The next thing I knew I was taken into the spirit in the USA where I saw a DEFCON 2 Alert being pushed out through the USA Military Services.

These American leaders and officials were well aware of what was potentially shaping with China, North Korea, Russia and Ukraine and were far ahead of what was coming with their intelligence and strategic planning.

The Americans were tracking Cabal sleeper-cell threats with military assets on US and North American soil and were now once again at the highest alert levels. They had a plan, and they had things well at hand in every manner and circumstance.

Once again, I found myself in another place, the Holy Spirit took me in the Spirit where I saw the Presidential Resolute Desk being prepared for the signing and announcement of the Insurrection Act.

This was a major move. The game changer. [RB emphasis]

Under direction of President Trump US Generals and troops had been preparing to be deployed on US soil to protect and defend the Nation from the enemy assets within her borders. There was no mistaking that they would find these threats, and they would use all necessary force to disable them and remove them and all threats they had against the American people and the Nation!

I saw angelic hosts coming into formation into strategic places to thwart and hold back the plans of the enemy!

The Lord had this!

A few minutes later I was then taken in the spirit into a meeting with deep state cabal puppeteers who were once again pushing Zelenskyy from Ukraine to execute the last-ditch plan false-flag to escalate the Russian conflict and push Nato and the nations into something they would regret.

The next thing I knew I was taken into the Spirit where brilliant bright spotlights began to light up strategic places in the Nations.

I would describe it like lights off a police helicopter, and how they fly over a target to light it up with a spotlight so boots on the ground could come in and take down the threat and capture the criminals at large. What I saw was like that but on a much bigger scale.  Much more powerful and from a much higher altitude.

As I was looking this over, what looked like these bright beams of light became frequency weapons. These frequencies were now beaming down and targeting these globalist cabal assets and them shutting them all down. All comms. All weaponry. Shut Down. All of it disabled!

I thought to myself, where is this coming from?

As I looked, I saw never before deployed American “Star Wars” weaponry!
Truly incredible!

I was taken from there and then found myself in a deep bunker on American soil. This was a well-hidden deep bunker control room where they were cheering and celebrating their success!

One by one, those in that bunker dropped to one knee, prayed and gave thanks to the Father for His Grace and mission success.

I watched the lead Commanding General there pick up a red phone as he called the President with the good news. “Mission Accomplished!”

The Lord God Almighty once again showed himself strong to His people!
This is a new day!

End-times Briefing 23: Bible prophecy on Anglican apostasy

About 1975 years ago in writing to the early church in Thessalonica, Apostle Paul draws his letter to a close by referring to ‘the Day of the Lord’ and in a follow-up he goes into further detail about Jesus’ expected return.

The second chapter of his second letter refers to a particularly startling indicator of the wider Church’s failure in the faith and implicit lack of holiness and obedience to Jesus, as expanded upon in the Amplified Bible, wherein the third verse reads:

‘Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the [a]apostasy comes first [unless the predicted great [b]falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come], and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition),…’
[Note a,b – A possible rendering of the Greek ‘apostasia’ is “departure [of the church”].

Paul returns to that perplexing topic about 10-15 years later and prophesies in his first letter to Timothy (chapter 4)

‘But the [Holy] Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in latter times some will turn away from the faith, giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach, Through the hypocrisy and pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared (cauterized)…’

Other than citing holy writ and the essential principles of spiritual headship and thus accountability, especially vital in deliverance ministry, this blog has covered this matter from a newsworthy angle under #Apostasy tag. So the following items are offered for my readers’ consideration:

Revd Brett’s timeline > https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069715806030

Here is fellow watcher John Barber’s even-handed analysis of the ‘pros and cons’:

The CofE has a new archbishop

A few extracts:

‘Perhaps, one of the most significant things (upon reflection, and not surprisingly) coming out of this announcement, in terms of how different Christians, especially those in leadership positions, reacted, is that in the main those in the negative camp seemed to be in agreement with many of the views that I have long been posting on my Facebook page and blogs concerning some of the important, significant things happening in the UK and beyond, and those, in the main, in the positive camp taking an opposite view. It confirmed to me that not only is the nation divided but so is the church.’

‘Obviously, not being an Anglican and coming from a very Low Church camp, I am not going to agree with all that Father Calvin said, but I agree with much of it. While I agree that leadership in churches, especially when it comes to exercising authority over men, should be male, the only priesthood I recognize is that of all believers.

Not mentioned but something what really sealed it for me, in coming to a view, was reading a post by one of my detracting Facebook friends including a video clip of Sarah Mullally’s telling us back in the days of the Covid scamdemic that it was our Christian duty to take the jab (see here). Another powerful video highlighting the concerns of those who think a wrong choice was made with this appointment making several damming indictments, including her pro-choice stance on the matter of abortion and her supporting or allowing LBGTQ+ ideology to prevail, including the brainwashing of our children over transgenderism (see here).’

GOD-INCIDENCE

Whilst writing I’m called to join my wife watching the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem’s celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles with David Parsons speaking on the Lord’s calling all nations towards Jerusalem and thereby encouraging the Jews to look forward to their Messiah Jesus’s return. This was broadcast yesterday morning

The main scriptures David cites are Zechariah but I note his emphasis upon the ‘NOW’ of prophecies and that this was only hours before the most welcome announcement of a cease-fire in Gaza.

SO Isaiah 66’s reference to the ‘last days’ and Jerusalem are most apposite:

SELAH!

PS – Prime Stupidity (weekend 11-12 Oct news)

God’s glory going from a Tabernacle to stadiums – another personal confirmation

LOL, what I didn’t mention about my brief chat with Veronika West earlier today about my days at the church we had in common near Reading, Berkshire, was another ‘side-issue’ – or so I thought. I mentioned I’d said to the pastor, when he referred to speaking at Reading Football Club as its chaplain, something along the lines of:

“I expect we’ll see stadiums filled for church meetings!”

Now, look at what our dear sister has posted around midday, not only about stadiums filled for Revival but also at the time I saw it, again there’s my birthday ‘22 comments’!

Furthermore, only now do I note we’ve double-22 once again (’44m’), as ‘God-incidental’ proof of content:

Veronika writes on Facebook:

…A Powerful Prophetic Foreshadow…

….From God’s Tabernacle in the Wilderness to Glory Revivals in Stadiums…!!

…. Ha! Ok… Some of you might call me crazy,…but as I prayed over what I saw, the Holy Spirit gave me the green light to release it….

…Recently, while I was watching Charlie Kirk’s Memorial unfold inside that massive stadium in Arizona, something happened….

..Suddenly, the Spirit of Revelation started to show me something profound,…and my eyes were drawn straight to the center of the stadium, and in that moment,…the Lord began to highlight a powerful and prophetic parallel….

…See Pictures ABOVE;

…I heard the Spirit say,…”Daughter Look..,Do you see it?”

…And Suddenly it was quickened to me that stadium itself was being shown to me as a powerful prophetic picture of the Tabernacle….

…As soon as I saw it,…I couldn’t un-see it…

….From the moment I saw it,..

What began to unfold before me as I watched,…was more than just a Memorial and a Celebration of a Martyr’s death,…but a Glorious Sign of what we are going to see God begin to do in the Days ahead…

….The Tabernacle Then and What I See God doing Now…
….In the wilderness,…the Tabernacle was not simply a tent of meeting,…it was the very Dwelling place of God’s Glory….

…We know that Every Tribe encamped around it,..Life,…Order, and Worship all revolved around the Glorious Presence of God…

…As I looked at the Stadium,…

…I heard the Spirit say,…”Watch For I desire to dwell among you….I want to meet you face to face”….!!

…And as I heard those words…and as I kept Looking at that Beautiful Big Stadium packed with people,…the Spirit of Lord spoke again to me,…

Saying,…”Watch,…For I am building Tabernacles not of wood or gold,…but of Living Stones….Watch and Pray…For My People will Arise…And Multitudes will Gather,…and Stadiums will be filled with My Glory and My Power”…!!

….Watch as these two Prophetic Parallels begin to Unfold…
….Just as the entire Nation of Israel gathered at the Tabernacle in the wilderness,…so I See,…God drawing multitudes to stadiums across the Nations of the Earth….

….These Stadiums, once built purely for Worldly Entertainment and Sporting Events,…are going to be transformed into runways and landing strips for the Glory of God to Come….Some will even be fully repurposed as Sanctuaries,…Holy dwelling places where His Presence will Rest and His power will move mightily….

….I saw that what was once a field of competition and worldly celebration will become a Holy ground of Supernatural Encounters,…Signs,…Wonders and Miracles never seen before…!!!

….Friends,…What began as a Memorial service, I believe has already begun to create a Powerful Mega-Shift in the realm of the Spirit that will see begin to unfold in the Days to come…!

…God is going to Turn Gatherings into A New Kingdom Movements….Just as the Tabernacle stood as a witness of God’s Presence in the wilderness,…I was shown by the Spirit of Revelation that Stadium events will stand as testimonies of His Power and Glory to the Nations….

…These Events will become powerful Prophetic signs of the Spirit of the Lord Reclaiming and Reforming the public square for His Glory….and unto a GREAT HARVEST OF SOULS…!!!

…I also saw Glory Revivals filling these Stadiums,…not as Church-like services which are marked by eloquent sermons or by music that sounds more like secular songs than true Worship unto God,…

…but rather,…I Saw Tsunami Waves of Glory Coming,…and Wave after wave after wave, of the manifest Glory of Gods Presence breaking forth among and upon the people….A Mighty Outpouring of Fire and Oil….

…An Unquenchable Fire of Glory that will descend upon all the people,…and then,..I saw entire sections of Crowds that were gathered being swept up and into Supernatural Deliverance, Healing, and Salvation….

…I saw stadiums becoming Marked places of Divine Habitation,…sites of Glorious Outpourings where Holy encounters with God’s glory will break open…and from these Gatherings,…the very atmosphere over Cities, Regions, and even Nations will be transformed and Reformed by the weight of His Glorious Presence….

…Then,….I saw that just as sacrifices were continually laid upon the Altar at the Tabernacle,…the Spirit showed me that modern Stadiums will become Altars where lives are surrendered and yielded to the Presence of God en-masse….

….Ha!!!! I Saw Multitudes that will flood the aisles, many I saw falling to their knees,…surrendering their lives to Christ….Sons and daughters, prodigals and Church Leaders alike will lay themselves down before the Lord as Living Sacrifices and THEN THE FIRE WILL FALL AS IT DID AT THE ALTAR OF ELIJAH AND THEN THE RAIN OF RESTORATION WILL FALL AS THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS TURN BACK TO THE CHILDREN AND THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN TURN BACK TO THE FATHERS….

….It will be the Altar Call of the Nations, a Great and visible Awakening and Harvest will be seen by the Eyes of all Nations…!!!!

….Listen,..I hear….”An Invitation to Tabernacle with the Presence of the Lord in this Hour”…!!!

…Saints,….I hear the Spirit of the Lord,…

….Yes!!…I hear Heaven issuing an Invitation in this hour…”Come, Come…Come and Tabernacle with Me in this Hour”….

….There is such a weight of the Glory roundabout me even as I sit and write the Word,…

….This is more than an Invitation, it is about Hearing the Clarion Call to Step into a Living Encounter with His Presence….

…I hear the Spirit say,…”GET READY….FOR MY GLORY IS LOOKING FOR A RESTING PLACE”…!!!

….And Just as Moses entered the Cloud of Glory,…

….I hear the Spirit of the Lord calling His People to Move from the Outer Courts into the Holy of Holies…into the Place of Divine Intimacy and Supernatural Encounter….

…I submit,…that Charlie Kirk’s Memorial is more than a prophetic picture or even a prophetic sign,…but it is a powerful Prophetic Foreshadowing of a Coming Global Awakening,…a Glory Invasion and a Great Harvest of Souls,…

…I hear the Spirit say,…”Watch and Pray,…For I am filling My House with Glory….I am calling My people to Gather,…and I am pouring out My Spirit on all flesh”..!

…Get Ready Remnant,….We are standing on the threshold of a Glory Revival and a Glory Invasion where stadiums will not be enough to contain what God is about to do….

….The Harvest is ready….the Multitudes are coming…

The Spirit says,….”Watch for I am Tabernacling with My people again….I will Dwell in the midst of their Gatherings,…,and My glory shall be seen by the eyes of All Nations,…

….Yes!…As in the Wilderness, My Glory and Presence shall go before them,…and My All Consuming Fire shall rest upon them….

….For I tell you,…This is the hour of My dwelling,…the hour of My Glory,…the hour of Divine Invitation to Come and Tabernacle with Me”…!!!!

Blessings to you all.

Birth of a new ‘Acts’ Church Era is upon us – recall personal 30 years-old vision

WOW! I had in mind to post about weekend news fulfilling prophecies BUT first saw this soon after Veronika West posted it on Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook > am amazed!!

I comment therein about her closing words relating to one of the earliest open visions I’d had,

WOW, “Stones of My choosing” – wotta wonderful reminder of what I saw about 30 years ago in house group of each person as jewelled stones set within the Lord’s throne!”

To which Veronika responds, “YES!!! I shared an emphasis on that very aspect of the word. “THE STONES OF MY CHOOSING”…the Living Stones are Rising and will be used to bring forth a Mighty Dismantling to every demonic stronghold.” (RB: see PS below and next post)

Also, I mention it happened in the Pangbourne group of Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist), which she attended after I’d moved away to marry Nina 23 years ago last week and as prophecy team leader to pastor Yinka Oyekan, who renamed TFC ‘The Gate’.

Here’s what Veronika heard:

THE BIRTHING OF A NEW ACTS CHURCH ERA IS UPON YOU!

As Ireland’s Destiny Hub met on Saturday 27th September 2025, The LORD had me release the following Word.

This Word came on the back of another Powerful Prophetic Word which The LORD spoke concerning “A New Golden Era That Will Be Birthed in Fire!”

https://www.hiskingdomprophecy.com/his-new-golden-era-will-be-birthed-in-fire/

THE BIRTHING OF A NEW ACTS CHURCH ERA IS UPON YOU!

‘This Open Vision came on Friday 26th September 2025.

The Birthing of a New Acts Church Era is Upon You!

Okay… so I was out driving and going about my day, when The Holy Spirit suddenly spoke and I heard Him say, “Daughter watch — for the Birthing of a New Acts Church Era is upon you!”

As soon as I heard those Words, suddenly I was taken into an Open Vision, wherein I saw a powerful mighty Rushing Wind of the Spirit begin to come forth from the deeper realms of Glory — a mighty Rushing Wind, filled with Tongues of Fire.

As I looked within the mighty Rushing Winds filled with Tongues of Fire, suddenly I saw piercing eyes within the mighty Rushing Winds.

Then I heard these Words saying, ”Tongues of Fire shall speak forth My Power, and the Eyes of My Seven Spirits shall bring forth greater Vision, Revelation and a great unveiling of the hidden Mysteries and Secrets of My Glory.
For even now, the Winds of My Spirit are stirring in the unseen realms! I AM brooding over The Nations, for the birthing of a New Acts Church Era is at hand!
That which was hidden, shall now be revealed, and that which was delayed, shall now be accelerated!
I AM the same God of The Upper Room — and once again My People shall gather, not in the power of the flesh, but in Unity, Purity and the Power of My Spirit.
Watch! For The Winds and The Fires shall move together! The Seven Eyes of My Spirit shall search the earth to and fro, and I shall ignite a company who will not fear The Flames, nor shrink back from the storms.
I AM releasing Tongues of Fire upon the lips of My Prophets, Prophetic Intercessors, and My Faithful Watchmen!
They shall declare mysteries, and release Decrees that shatter the powers of darkness.
Their Words will carry My Breath — and their Sight will pierce the veils that have covered Nations.
The Church that I AM birthing in this hour shall be a Church of Acts — a Mighty Radical Remnant of Action — a Remnant of Demonstrative Power — a Remnant of Unshakable Courage and Devotion!
Many will look and say, ‘This is not the Church we have known,’ for I AM tearing down the scaffolding of man’s agendas and empire building with the Stones of My choosing!
Prepare! Prepare! For My Winds and My Fires will not be contained in your structures, nor limited by your man-made traditions.
Those who yield shall carry the weight of My Glory, and those who resist shall be bypassed as I move swiftly,” says the Spirit of God.

Blessings to you all.

PS. (30 Sept) The above was prepped during the morning and I don’t mention drawing Veronika’s attention to another prophetic point over 30 years ago…BUT LO & BEHOLD, later in the afternoon I find the Lord has wonderfully expanded upon its coming to pass; as in the next post! (click link to read).

NB 2018 REPRISE: Is the Lord about to chop roots over the channel and CUT STRINGS over the ‘pond’?

IMPORTANT > PROPHECY BEING FULFILLED 7 YEARS LATER IN USA

NB. Extract from ‘Puppet Strings’ below: ‘Veronika then watches a Punch and Judy show with four puppets acting as Obama, Clinton, Biden and Comey’.


19 Sept 2018 > For readers’ prayer and weighing please.:

Being a wet morning after weeks engaged on outdoor maintenance I’ve opportunity to be on-line, hopefully to blog what’s in my mental pipeline. (Blogs post-Bank Holiday were restricted to the ‘Kingdom anniversary’ and important words and news.) After the last post I checked my list of flagged emails. One I’d acknowledged but hadn’t read fully now caught my attention. ‘God-incidentally’, it may apply to the negotiations over Brexit, about which I’d just blogged, on the following grounds:

TREE ROOTS FROM BRUSSELS

Intercessor ‘LH’ had alerted me to a friend’s (‘DM’) message which had reminded her of Wendy Alec’s 2005 vision of a huge tree growing in Brussels. Its extensive foliage grew over the Channel to overshadow the United Kingdom and roots entangled themselves throughout the British Isles. DM reports watching a video that spoke to her because,

“I had a vision recently of a tree and the roots were being cut from the bottom, they were being scattered all over the place, I attempted to clear them up, but God told me he was dealing with it and that I was to rest in him.”

In view of my reading this of late August only now, could DM’s vision have a prophetic relevance to the EU Summit and the anti-EU feelings growing within several European nations??

STATES-SIDE & OBAMA

So, I wonder if our seer sister over the Irish Sea may have something on this. But on checking, I notice Veronika West’s latest vision plugs directly into what I’d only momentarily seen on late-night news nearly a fortnight ago. I’d mentally noted to blog about it, but it was weekend and urgent repairs awaited. So let me be brief.:

On 4th September she had an exceptionally powerful word relating to Psalm 2 for the nations and in particular for the USA, followed by one relating to the Supreme Court.

In my spirit I sensed the ‘dark state’ and the ‘Office For Action’ (Obama-Soros’ anti-Trump organisation – Fulfilled Prophecy #26: Worse than Watergate Scandal Surfacing) at work and that their scheming’s coming to a climax.

It seems OFA people are attempting its anti-democratic ‘coup’ against Trump and, sure enough, it’s C-in-C was soon to emerge from his nest – but I got confirmation only by ‘chance’!

We don’t watch late-night news but on closing down on Friday 7th Sept I just happened to switch channels and saw Barack Obama. I heard an accusatory phrase from him and instantly knew it’s a lie and put an end to the clip. It was a diatribe against Trump and I heard a few seconds about the riots in Charlottesville, for which there’s firm grounds to question their nature and OFA involvement (source).

So I asked the Lord, “When’s this conspiracy going to be fully exposed and broken?”

Perhaps the answer now lies in what Veronika published yesterday on Facebook about a strange dream relating to the USA. It’s opening reference to ‘sword’ may connect it to another recent word I wish to post this week. Veronika’s is very amusing but extensively descriptive so I’m only covering its opening and closing main points, but would encourage you to read in full via above link:

PUPPET STRINGS OVER AMERICA


“WATCH! AS THE SWORD OF MY SPIRIT NOW COMES TO SUDDENLY AND SWIFTLY SEVER THE STRINGS OF THE PUPPET MASTER, WATCH! FOR SURELY I TELL YOU HIS DAYS ARE NUMBERED AND THE HEADS OF THE WICKED WILL ROLL”, says God

‘These are the words I heard in a strange but poignant dream I had last night, this dream comes with a word of warning.

‘In this dream I found myself sitting before a puppet theatre surrounded by a large audience, now in the dream the theatre had red curtains which were drawn shut. Now as I looked at the stage I knew immediately by the Spirit that I was about to be shown something that will begin to unfold in the coming days…

[Veronika then watches a Punch and Judy show with four puppets acting as Obama, Clinton, Biden and Comey]

‘…Now as I sat there in the dream watching and listening intently, suddenly I saw a silver glint of light come from above and a giant pair of scissors appeared above the heads of the puppets and I watched as the scissors began to cut the strings of each puppet, I watched as one by one the puppets fell lifeless to the ground with a limp thud, then the red curtains closed over the stage and I heard these words,

“WATCH! FOR THE TIME IS NOW, THE STAGE IS SET AND A DOORWAY NOW APPEARS BEFORE YOU, WATCH! AS MY HAND OF TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS NOW MOVES TO REVEAL, EXPOSE AND UNCOVER IN THIS HOUR, WATCH! AS THE WORKS OF WICKEDNESS AND CORRUPTION ARE NOW BROUGHT OUT INTO THE LIGHT, WATCH! AS THE SWORD OF MY SPIRIT NOW COMES TO SUDDENLY AND SWIFTLY SEVER THE STRINGS OF THE PUPPET MASTER, WATCH! FOR SURELY I TELL YOU HIS DAYS ARE NUMBERED AND THE HEADS OF THE WICKED WILL ROLL”.

‘As I awoke from the dream and began to write down all that I saw and heard, the Holy Spirit immediately reminded me of a powerful vision I had concerning Mr George Soros in 2016. What was interesting about that vision was that he was likened to me then as a large Octopus having 8 long tentacles (puppet master controlling many strings). As I have prayed over this somewhat strange dream the Holy Spirit revealed to me that Mr Soros is one of the GREAT PUPPET MASTERS OF CORRUPTION IN THE NATION, and that his days are surely numbered and that all of his puppets are going to EVENTUALLY FALL.

‘The Spirit of God then revealed to me through this strange dream that, ALL THE WICKED AND EVIL WORKS OF THE ENEMY THAT HAS BEEN CONCEALED IN DARKNESS AND HIDDEN BEHIND THE SCENES FOR MANY YEARS IS ABOUT TO BE FULLY UNCOVERED, EXPOSED AND BROUGHT INTO THE LIGHT, THE STAGE IS SET, THE CURTAINS ARE BEING DRAWN BACK AND THE SPOTLIGHT OF HEAVEN IS NOW SHINING UPON THE NATION. THE WORKS OF WICKEDNESS AND CORRUPTION THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN THE PAST GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION WILL NOW BE PUT ON FULL DISPLAY FOR ALL TO SEE, THERE WILL BE NOWHERE TO HIDE, FOR THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH IS COMING SUDDENLY LIKE A SHARP SWORD WHICH WILL NOT ONLY SEVER THE STRINGS OF THE PUPPET MASTER BUT THE SWORD IS GOING TO FALL UPON THE HEADS OF THE WICKED AND THEY SHALL BE BROUGHT TO NOTHING, THEIR WICKED AND EVIL DEEDS WILL NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED BUT THEY WILL FALL TO THE GROUND AND DIE.

A Nation Without God – Neil Mackereth

A NATION WITHOUT GOD

“From this time many of His disciples turned back and no longer followed Him” (John 6:66 – significant chapter and verse number; co-incidence or God-incidence?)

A NATION DIVIDED

As a nation, we have turned our back on the Lord God Almighty and forsaken Him: the dire consequences of our actions are upon us.

A clear and distressing separation is taking place in our nation. The divides of the past: class distinctions, haves and have nots, north and south, etc., are fading into insignificance when compared with the growing chasm that exists between left-wing and right-wing opinions.

Jesus said: “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand” (Matthew 12:25). Our country has all the hallmarks of a deeply divided nation on the brink of civil war.

THE CHURCH DIVIDED

Many “Christians” are no longer following the Word of God and have aligned themselves with causes that they have neither researched nor understood.

They continue to espouse their belief in God, but have lost sight of Jesus.

Others believe the church has replaced Israel in God’s favour and the Jews are, therefore, no longer significant in God’s redemptive plan for mankind.

To my mind, the whole of scripture relates to the significance of the descendants of Abraham and his offspring through Isaac (if not, how can the 144,000 Jews sealed by God in Revelation 7, and seen standing with Jesus on Mt Zion in Revelation 14, be explained?).

Are we standing with Jesus as the world turns against Him and His brethren, God’s chosen people Israel? Or are we taking the much easier position of siding with the world? The latter option is pragmatic, comfortable, and may well, in the short term, shield people from hatred and abuse.

I tell you the truth: Satan is desperately endeavouring to thwart God’s plans for mankind, because he believes that if he succeeds, he will prove God wrong and save himself from eternal damnation in the lake of burning sulphur (Revelation 20:10). If we take the easy option for short term gain, we too will be on course for eternal damnation.

FAITH

We are now being tested on whether the life of Jesus in us is the dominating influence in our being, or whether self-interest takes pride of place. Are we loyal and fully committed to honouring Jesus in all that we do and say?

In 2 Corinthians 11:16-33 Paul gives a comprehensive description of the abuse, persecution, pain and suffering that may ensue, for those who fully commit to following Jesus. Life for devoted Christians is already appallingly difficult in many parts of the world, and it is going to get much harder here.

It is prophesied that a time of great tribulation is coming. How will we react when facing the possibility of unmitigated suffering, even unto death? Jesus says we should never be afraid, but rather we should rest in perfect confidence in Him. I find that a huge challenge; panic is often my first reaction to a crisis. I reason that God must be asleep in the boat and that He cannot have recognised that we are about to be engulfed by the storm (Matthew 8:24,25).

Nevertheless, I know that Jesus expects His followers to be the steadfast and reliable ones in any calamity. It is essential to keep our focus on Jesus in every circumstance, and to remember that it is our place in eternity that is at stake. Sudden unexpected disasters always reveal on what or on whom we rely. Now more than ever, it is essential that we train our minds so that when catastrophe strikes, we immediately turn to Jesus for help.

CONCLUSION

A time of great tribulation draws near – the signs of division in the church, in our nation and in the world are very evident. We are on the brink of a massive upheaval. Even so, we are to look beyond the imminent chaos and turmoil to the glorious return of our saviour Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords.

What is a truly amazing (supernatural) is that, in Bible prophecy, God has told us exactly what to expect. The events we are witnessing are no surprise to Him!

In what little time we have, it is imperative that we worship God, study the Word and seek to be blameless in His sight. Pray for wisdom and discernment, and to be a tower of strength and encouragement to others.

Jesus will return: Victory is assured: Hallelujah!
