40 things (or more!) wrong with May-EU’s Withdrawal Agreement

UPDATED with PS for further information; also note most informative comment:

One of my contributors to this blog’s series on the EU and Brexit, David Chapman, has submitted the following which he’d received from a friend, after having seen material by Martin Howe QC.

(Martin Howe is a leading barrister in intellectual property and EU law and Chairman of Lawyers for Britain, as well as a contributor to Brexit Central. His articles enable us to appreciate why the hitherto secret Attorney General’s advice to the government, as explosive as it is, came as no surprise to anyone well-informed of the nuances of the Brexit negotiations; see, for example – The Withdrawal Agreement’s Northern Ireland Protocol is Neither a ‘Backstop’ or Temporary published 22nd November!)

I’m informed the following has come from social media and it isn’t easy to determine its source. Nevertheless, David writes, “After trawling through the near 600 pages of the WA this seemed to have a much more succinct analysis than I could give.”

Also, a local friend of financial rather than legal background, reports he’s pleased to find its points are similar to those he’d noted when checking to identify the Agreement’s key issues. 

So with the foregoing in mind, let’s now take a look at :

40 REASONS (YES 40) WHY WE NEED TO BIN Mrs MAY’S PROPOSALS

From the offset, we should note that this is an EU text, not a UK or international text. This has one source. The Brexit agreement is written in Brussels.

  1. Prime Minister May says her deal means the UK leaves the EU next March. The Withdrawal Agreement makes a mockery of this. “All references to Member States and competent authorities of Member States…shall be read as including the United Kingdom.” (Art 6). Not quite what most people understand by Brexit. It goes on to spell out that the UK will be in the EU but without any MEPs, a commissioner or ECJ judges. We are effectively a Member State, but we are excused – or, more accurately, excluded – from attending summits. (Article 7)
  2. The European Court of Justice is decreed to be our highest court (Art. 86) both citizens and resident companies can use it.
  3. The UK will remain under the jurisdiction of the ECJ until eight years after the end of the transition period. (Article 158).
  4. The UK will still be bound by any future changes to EU law in which it will have no say, not to mention having to comply with current law. (Article 6(2))
  5. Any disputes under the Agreement will be decided by EU law only – one of the most dangerous provisions. (Article 168) Arbitration will be governed by the existing procedural rules of the EU law – this is not arbitration as we would commonly understand it (i.e. between two independent parties). (Article 174)
  6. “UNDERLINING that this Agreement is founded on an overall balance of benefits, rights and obligations for the Union and the United Kingdom” No, it should be based upon the binding legal obligations upon the EU contained within Article 50. It is wrong to suggest otherwise.
  7. The tampon tax clause: We obey EU laws on VAT, with no chance of losing the tampon tax even if we agree a better deal in December 2020 because we hereby agree to obey other EU VAT rules for **five years** after the transition period. Current EU rules prohibit 0-rated VAT on products (like tampons) that did not have such exemptions before the country joined the EU.
  8. Problems with the EU’s definitions: 3.1. “Union law” is too widely defined. “United Kingdom national” – we should not have agreed the Lisbon Treaty definition. That is giving away our right to define our citizens.
  9. Definitions needed to include the term “goods” and the term “services” we are promised the deal will mean ONLY EU law in relation to ‘goods’ will apply. This is a non-defined term so far. This agreement also fails to define it.
  10. The Mandelson Pension Clause: The UK must promise never to tax former EU officials based here – such as Peter Mandelson or Neil Kinnock – on their E.U. pensions, or tax any current ones on their salaries. The EU and its employees are immune to our tax laws. (Article 104)
  11. Furthermore, the UK agrees not to prosecute EU employees who are, or who might be deemed in future, criminals (Art.101)
  12. The pre-existing rights of EU citizens are to be extended to citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. They will be pleased. (Article 33)
  13. The EU’s stupidest law ever – the General Data Protection Regulation – is to be bound into UK law (Article 71 to 73). So much for escaping this madness.
  14. The UK is obliged to establish a ‘Joint Committee’ with EU representatives to guarantee ‘the implementation and application of this Agreement’. This does not sound like a withdrawal agreement – if it was, why would it need to be subject to continued monitoring? (Article 164). The Joint Committee will have subcommittees with jurisdiction over: (a) citizens’ rights; (b) “other separation provisions”; (c) Ireland/Northern Ireland; (d) Sovereign Base Areas in Cyprus; (e) Gibraltar; and (f) financial provisions. (Article 165)
  15. The agreement will last as long as the country’s youngest baby lives. “the persons covered by this Part shall enjoy the rights provided for in the relevant Titles of this Part for their lifetime”. (Article 39).
  16. The UK is shut out of all EU networks and databases for security – yet no such provision exists to shut the EU out of ours. (Article 8)
  17. The UK will tied to EU foreign policy, “bound by the obligations stemming from the international agreements concluded by the Union” but unable to influence such decisions. (Article 124)
  18. All EU citizens must be given permanent right of residence after five years – but what counts as residence? This will be decided by the EU, rather than UK rules. (Articles 15-16)
  19. Britain is granted the power to send a civil servant to Brussels to watch them pass stupid laws which will hurt our economy. (Article 34)
  20. The UK agrees to spend taxpayers’ money telling everyone how wonderful the agreement is. (Article 37)
  21. Art 40 defines Goods. It seems to includes Services and Agriculture. We may come to discover that actually ‘goods’ means everything.
  22. Articles 40-49 practically mandate the UK’s ongoing membership of the Customs Union in all but name.
  23. The UK will be charged to receive the data/information we need in order to comply with EU law. (Article 50)
  24. The EU will continue to set rules for UK intellectual property law (Article 54 to 61)
  25. The UK will effectively be bound by a non-disclosure agreement swearing us to secrecy regarding any EU developments we have paid to be part. This is not mutual. The EU is not bound by such measures. (Article 74)
  26. The UK is bound by EU rules on procurement rules – which effectively forbids us from seeking better deals elsewhere. (Articles 75 to 78)
  27. We give up all rights to any data the EU made with our money (Art. 103)
  28. The EU decide capital projects (too broadly defined) the UK is liable for (why on earth can’t they say now … oh yes, I remember, they’re bust) (Art. 144)
  29. The UK is bound by EU state aid laws until future agreement – even in the event of an agreement, this must wait four years to be valid. (Article 93)
  30. Similar advantages and immunities are extended to all former MEPs and to former EU official more generally. (Articles 106-116)
  31. The UK is forbidden from revealing anything the EU told us or tells us about the finer points of deal and its operation. (Article 105).
  32. Any powers the UK parliament might have had to mitigate EU law are officially removed. (Article 128)
  33. The UK shall be liable for any “outstanding commitments” after 2022 (Article 142(2) expressly mentions pensions, which gives you an idea as to who probably negotiated this). The amount owed will be calculated by the EU. (Articles 140-142)
  34. The UK will be liable for future EU lending. As anyone familiar with the EU’s financials knows, this is not good. (Article 143)
  35. The UK will remain liable for capital projects approved by the European Investment Bank. (Article 150).
  36. The UK will remain a ‘party’ (i.e. cough up money) for the European Development Fund. (Articles 152-154)
  37. And the EU continues to calculate how much money the UK should pay it. So thank goodness Brussels does not have any accountancy issues.
  38. The UK will remain bound (i.e coughing up money) to the European Union Emergency Trust Fund – which deals with irregular migration (i.e. refugees) and displaced persons heading to Europe. (Article 155)
  39. The agreement will be policed by ‘the Authority’ – a new UK-based body with ‘powers equivalent to those of the European Commission’. (Article 159)
  40. And, of course, the UK will agree to pay £40bn to receive all of these ‘privileges’. (Article 138)

PS 14 Jan: see also his Leaving the EU with No Deal is not a step into a legal vacuum, posted 13 Jan and Leaked Commons legal analysis vindicates Trump, contradicts May and adds to Brexiteers’ concerns posted 2 Dec 2018 at Brexit Central.

‘Brexit Plan B’ leader doesn’t grasp democracy

To follow up on my closure to Truth of EU’s Trap Revealed, the former attorney general, ‘Dominic Grieve, led a successful plot by 25 Tory Remainers to give MPs the right to dictate a “plan B” to Mrs May if she loses the Brexit deal vote’, so writes political editor Gordon Raynor towards the close of content to this morning’s banner headline The day May lost control.

‘The Prime Minister saw 25 of her own MPs, including several former loyalists, join forces with Labour to pass a crucial amendment to her deal by 321 votes to 299, a majority of 22.’

Gordon provides details online in The end of hard Brexit; How rebel Tories won right to force ‘Plan B’, but I want to draw your attention to his quoting what the ‘fox’ thinks:

Mr Grieve suggested that MPs would now be able to force a second referendum.  He said: “Parliament has asserted its sovereignty to ensure that amendments – such as for a People’s Vote – can be made to any motion if or when the Government’s proposed deal for leaving the EU has been defeated.

“Parliament must now take back control and then give the final decision back to the public because, in the end, only the people can sort this out.” (Emphasis added)

We learned this person fulfilled within days Veronika West’s prophetic word on betrayal within government by his public exposure of being in cahoots with EU leaders.

Watchers of political events know that Grieve’s long been working to reverse the results of the 2016 EU referendum by holding a so-called peoples’ vote – which is exactly what that referendum was anyway!

But now he’s abdicating all democratically designed responsibility. He claims we, the people, can sort out the sheer, shambolic mess politicians of all shades and opinions – here in Britain and in Brussels, including himself – have made of the UK’s governing process!  And there’s many with him – it beggars belief! Let’s think about it, clearly.

Even so, perhaps it would be a good thing to get rid of incompetent politicians because ordinary folk – or better still, trained Spirit-led disciples of Christ (not clergy) – could do a much better job.

So it continues to fascinate me how next week’s voting on Mrs May’s Brexit ‘deal’ will turn out. With no pre-arrangement on either party’s part, this takes place on the final day of Chuck Pierce’s powerful word on crucial 40 days for London!  The 40-day prophecy he brought in 2005 proved to be explosive when London suffered a terrorist outrage – so perhaps this year’s prophecy will prove not only politically but also supernaturally explosive!!

Maybe this shaking we’ve been experiencing will ricochet deeply into all organisations comprising the European Union. After all, it’s just been rocked by Spain!

For a short briefing see What the Grieve Amendment means and how MPs voted on it.

Truth of EU’s trap revealed

After reading Neil Mackereth’s theme on ‘Divine Designs’ implicit behind a chain of totally unexpected events, ones that confounded “experts” and suggest the Lord’s hand was in them, this week has extended that list.:

The longer and more twisted became the EU’s negotiations over Brexit, the more has Brussels tyrannical heart become evident to all – that truth is being revealed and confirms what a Ukrainian pastor told David Hathaway, “The EU is a hundred times worse than communism”!

Hopefully, ALL Britons will drop our differences in ‘Brexiteers’ and ‘Remainers’ becoming united in loathing of the contemptuous, disgraceful way Great Britain has been treated over the past two years because of our desire to regain our sovereignty.

The EU’s true colours are now nailed to its mast!

When the British people wake up to see the fully tyrannical nature of the EU, then any fresh referendum should surely show a far greater percentage voting to ‘LEAVE’.

This week’s momentous, historic political events prior to Parliament’s voting upon PM May’s personal deal with Brussels are evidence of a great shaking, thereby proving Christian prognostications of such to be true prophecies.

Before covering today’s latest news, we should continue the ‘Divine Designs‘ listing by looking at just a few of this week’s events (courtesy Telegraph’s live newsfeed):

  1. Former chief whip will vote against PM for first time
  2. How PM suffered one of most bruising days in politics
  3. Theresa May reeling after three humiliating defeats
  4. Government found to be in contempt of Parliament
  5. Parliament seizes the reins of Brexit
  6. Day two of debate on PM’s deal underway in Commons
  7. Critics: Backstop would see UK stuck in ‘Brexit hamster wheel’
  8. DUP: No wonder Government tried to hide legal advice
  9. Northern Ireland would be ‘in the EU’s Customs Union’
  10. Government publishes Brexit legal advice in full
  11. UK will be trapped in backstop even if talks with EU fail.

Early this afternoon the paper’s Brexit and political correspondents write:

Britain will be trapped in the Brexit backstop even if talks with the European Union on a trade deal break down, according to explosive legal advice finally published by the Government…

‘The legal advice is likely to confirm the worst fears of opponents of Theresa May’s Brexit deal because it sets out in stark terms that the UK cannot unilaterally exit the backstop and it will apply “indefinitely”.

‘It states: “In conclusion, the current drafting of the protocol, including Article 19, does not provide for a mechanism that is likely to enable the UK lawfully to exit the UK-wide customs union without a subsequent agreement…

‘Nigel Dodds, the deputy leader of the DUP, described the legal advice as “devastating” and it was “no wonder” the Government had “tried to hide” it.

‘Sir Keir Starmer, the shadow Brexit secretary, said having reviewed the legal advice it was “obvious why this needed to be placed in the public domain”. He said: “All week we have heard from Government ministers that releasing this information could harm the national interest. Nothing of the sort. All this advice reveals is the central weaknesses in the Government’s deal.

“It is unthinkable that the Government tried to keep this information from Parliament – and indeed the public – before next week’s vote.”

AND, there’s another aspect of yesterday’s shenanigans in the House of Commons, one relating to the vision and word Veronika West brought about a treacherous fox! (Fulfilled Prophecy #30 refers) Click to continue reading in the next post >>

Prophetic word of warning and blessing for Britain re. the EU

Following Prime Minister Theresa May’s agreement in Brussels on Saturday 24th November on Britain’s leaving the EU, Revd Chris Wickland, pastor of Living Word Church based in Fareham, Purbrook and Lee-on-Solent, issued this email last Monday on what he’d brought from the Lord that Sunday night:

‘Last night at Living Word Lee I was due to give a normal sermon, but as I rose to get up God gave me a download regarding Brexit and what is soon to transpire for our nation.
‘I very rarely get anything like this and God was reminding me of many prophetic words and stringing it all together into a 30 min message of what is coming.
‘I enclose a link to the audio file of the prophetic word…(RB: see below)
‘Please listen if you get time and please feel free to share with any people you feel this would resonate with.’

I’m grateful to Carolyn Stewart for the following transcript of the first minutes of Chris’ message from the Lord (note reference to the value of declarations):

Prophecy of Warning and Blessing for Great Britain – 25th November 2018

Something has happened today which is very significant for us as Britons. The European treaty thing has gone through; that they’ve agreed on their side of things on the Brexit deal and…I don’t think God is very happy!

This is what I must declare, and I’m going to say it out loud. You see, when prophets of old would speak, they would not even necessarily go to the nations they spoke to, but they spoke to them because they were releasing the word of the Lord, and the Lord will do what He will do. Unfortunately, I have to say this over our government and our country:

‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN’. God has numbered your kingdom and finished it. You are weighed in the balance and found wanting. Your Kingdom is divided and has been given to another.’

I just feel God is really not pleased with what has happened this week and what is about to happen. I have had, over the years, many dreams, many visions for about 20-odd years about what is to come to this land. And unfortunately, what has happened now has just triggered it, because…God led this country to come out of something that he was not happy we were even in to start with. People voted for that. Not only did people vote for that, but He moved people by His Spirit to come out. And yet people who think they are better and know more than the plans and purposes of God have tried to intervene and tried to stop what God has decreed must happen. And because man has put his hatchet on the line, and because man has tried to sabotage the engine of what God was trying to do, God has unfortunately to bring down the axe of his judgment, and unfortunately it is going to bring a separation from us from Europe, whether we like it or not. But unfortunately, it is going to be costly and it is going to bring our nation to a place of humility.

You see, God cannot heal our land until our land has been humbled – ‘Unless my people humble themselves and pray I will not heal their land’ – and this land must now come to a time of humbling. This land must come to a place where it will call out to the Lord its God.

“It is a nation that is proud. It is a nation that has become arrogant. It is a nation that has thrown aside My laws and precepts and thrown aside My Word and thrown aside My people, and thrown aside My church. My church has forsaken by ways. My church has forsaken My laws and My precepts and My holy word. They have moved to the left when they should have always been in my Kingdom. They should have been teaching the Kingdom, but instead they taught the precepts and the doctrines and the philosophies of man!”
“And because of this I must humble My church as well. There are those that are following Me, and they are following Me with all their heart. I don’t speak to them. I speak to the church that takes My word and brings mixture to it, and brings worldliness to it, and brings worldly philosophies and worldly ideologies to My Word. No more!
“This country is going to humbled, and unfortunately the institutions which hold this country up are now going to have to topple. The things that this country feels that it has sure foundations I am now going to take away”, says the Lord. “And I will tear away the veil of lasciviousness so this country will finally wake up and look up and see that I alone am God, and I will save all who call upon the name of the Lord.”

But if I feel God is saying, “Enough is enough. They have had their time. MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN. You have had your time. You have had your chance. You have had your warnings. But you refused to listen, and you refused to relent and you refused to repent. And now I do not want to do what I now have to do, but YOU chose this. You chose to not follow Me. You chose to not follow the voice of the people. You chose not to follow the leading of My people. You chose not to follow the leading of My prophets.”
“And I speak now to the Government. They have heard the voice of the prophets. They have heard the prayers of the saints that have gone up for this land. They know the petitions of my people, and they have ignored them. And I tell you now, you will not ignore the voice of My prophets in this land anymore. You will now come to a time of humility, and you will be humbled” says the Lord.
“But I have plans for this nation. Yes, she must be humbled, but I will bandage up her wounds, I will take care of her and I will raise her up, and I will look after her and all of those that call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved and I will bring this country into the plans and purposes I have for it. And I have plans to prosper this country. I do not have plans to harm her; but know this…”

+ + +

Click to continue at 5:40 mark to hear what God is going to do with Great Britain in the light of Brexit and of revival. It is a sobering, serious word yet brings hope and clarity for the days ahead.

Pastor Chris’ opening reference to events of the past 20 years reminds me of the Lord having opened Hebrews 12:18-29 to me at a house group meeting in late 1990s. Hence, my coverage in the last few years of many prophecies on The Shaking; eg. as recently in ‘a new season of shaking’ and in ‘a merciful but severe course correction’.

What’s more, I can relate to his personal testimony (Witchcraft to Christ) because I too was in the new age group he’d been involved with, as well as nearly having had a head-on crash. Part 2 of his story is of wider interest.

PS: the evening before the PM’s announcement I saw a long tidal wave, rather like a tsunami, about to hit our shores. It is the wave of revival and this was confirmed not only by the pastor at this Spirit-led meeting at Fleet Baptist Church but also by the desktop image of a huge wave on the visiting speaker’s tablet (John Arnott)!

May the Lord bless you as you weigh this message and wait on Him.

‘Divine Designs’ re. Britain and the European Union

In updating me on his thoughts about Britain and the EU, Neil Mackereth (author of SIGNS) enables our further consideration of the prophetic word on the Lord being in control of Brexit.

Neil writes, “I have amended the last section ‘Spiritual Significance’ somewhat, mainly to emphasise that understanding comes with hindsight. The reasons for the present political confusion and turmoil will become clear. My view is that it is necessary to ensure there is not an inappropriate compromise deal (appeasement). No political consensus may be the only way to ensure a proper severance.”

DIVINE DESIGNS

THE SPIRITUAL IMPERATIVE

A spiritual indifference has taken root in the world today. The rulers, leaders, decision makers and diplomats are trying to direct nations and solve problems using the wisdom of this age – their own “wisdom”, world-view, self-interest, conceit and disdain (see 1 Corinthians 2:6, 14.).

As always, God is in control and is working out His purposes. We need to keep our spiritual eyes and ears open in these turbulent times and seek to understand the Kingdom perspective and significance of events. We may be mystified but we can still choose to go with God in the fulfilment of His purposes. His ways are not our ways; however, He wants us to be involved and what matters most is maintaining our relationship with Jesus and doing our utmost to fulfil the great commission.

Is there a link between following biblical guidelines and the wellbeing of the nation? The secular world ridicule suggestions that God is in control. They are mistaken.

An Example of the Significance of Blessing Israel – The Balfour Declaration

The Balfour Declaration of 9 November 1917, promising a national homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine, shows the efficacy of the principle expressed in Genesis 12.3 “I will bless those who bless you”. The declaration, first aired on 2 November, became agreed Government policy a week later. It was heartfelt and undoubtedly blessed the Jews: there was an almost immediate counter blessing!

General Allenby, the British commander in the Middle East, launched an offensive to capture Jerusalem on 31 October 1917. He took Gaza on 7 November and Jaffa on 16 November.  As Allenby’s forces approached Jerusalem the German and Turkish forces decided to withdraw from the city.

General Allenby and his commanders walked into the undefended city of Jerusalem on 9 December 2017. That was truly remarkable!

Unfortunately, subsequent governments have not shown unity or clarity in their endeavours to bless God’s chosen people!

THE UNEXPECTED

I meet many disheartened Christians who do not see God’s hand in the events unfolding in our nation. I, on the other hand, am intrigued and excited by a chain of unexpected outcomes. Examples where the “experts” were confounded:

  1. The Scottish independence referendum of September 2014 (unity of UK)
  2. PM Cameron, promising a referendum on EU membership, re-elected to government with an unexpected overall majority – General Election May 2015
  3. Mr Corbyn elected Labour leader – September 2015 (against all expectations)
  4. EU referendum (PM hoisted by his own petard having only anticipated a coalition government and hence no likelihood of having to honour the pledge)
  5. BREXIT – June 2016 (referendum outcome against expectations)
  6. The Labour Party, which might have influenced the Remain vote, in disarray
  7. PM Cameron resigns July 2016
  8. Mrs May elected PM July 2016 (virtually unopposed – a professing Christian)
  9. PM calls a snap general election June 2017 – unexpectedly loses her majority (against all pundit expectations/forecasts!) and has to rely on DUP support to form a government (the significance of the DUP holding the balance of power becomes more evident as Brexit progresses – unity of UK)
  10. The pessimistic ‘experts’ have repeatedly been proved wrong:
  • The stock market will crash – it has reached record highs
  • Unemployment will rise – it has fallen
  • The economy will go into recession – the opposite is true
  • The value of the pound will fall – it has but that has not been the predicted disaster. It has proved beneficial to trade and made the UK an attractive proposition/haven for overseas investors, the pound is recovering.

Cracks are appearing in the unity of the EU nations: their instability is ignored by the UK prophets of doom who continue their barrage, many demanding a second referendum. The amazing thing is, the pundits are still held in high esteem!

SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE

We have a God of the unexpected and the above list indicates that God’s hand is on Great Britain. The significance and progressive nature of each step only becomes clear with hindsight. Similarly, I am sure that the reasons for the current political confusion and government disarray will be apparent “after the event”. I am reminded of Habakkuk; we watch to see God’s plans unfold, confident in the knowledge that however turbulent the immediate future may be, His plans will not be thwarted. Furthermore, God told Habakkuk to tell the nation what was to happen.

I don’t know whether a deal (i.e. with fair contractual agreements) or a no-deal Brexit is best, but He does: instead of being in the worst position, as so many argue, knowing Him puts us in the best position.

We are at a pivotal moment. The signs of demonic influence in the EU are startlingly obvious, to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Brexit threatens to hasten the break-up of the EU (I think it was inevitable). Whatever people may say; Brexit is a calamity for the EU. God is rescuing the UK from an unholy alliance, to be a tower of strength, a light in a dark place, a refuge and a sanctuary.

Our God is not a God of compromise. Pray, pray and pray again for a clean, fair and complete break from the EU. Pray for the adoption of the underlying principle that UK policies will be biblically based and will seek to bless the Jewish people (this does not mean endorsing or condoning any unreasonable actions/words of secular authorities or leaders. It does mean help in safeguarding the rights and security of Israel, and of the Jewish people worldwide).

Watch and be amazed: we constantly underestimate the greatness of our God and we constantly underestimate the power and authority of His Word. He is birthing something new for the nations of the world, which apparent from the shaking and repositioning we are witnessing. It heralds the time of tribulation, which will culminate in the return of Jesus.

Prophetic word on Brexit: ‘The Lord is in control and will have His way’

This reassuring, encouraging article from Call The Nation To Prayer brings a word from an intercessory group affiliated to Churches In Communities International, and which is in line with other words noted on this blog. (Click title below for a link to ctntp’s website – emboldening of messages added):

BREXIT – ‘THE LORD IS IN CONTROL AND WILL HAVE HIS WAY’

‘CTNTP has been careful to keep out of the ‘Brexit fray’. The whole subject has become a very difficult one for The Church at large in our nation, as within our congregations, like during the Referendum, many hold one position, many the other. It has divided us, at the very time when The Lord is surely saying, we must be ‘As One’.

‘Our view is that The Lord has already gone far ahead of us! His overall plans and purposes for the United Kingdom have been in place from the beginning of time. They are good plans, plans that give us a real hope and future. It is all to easy for us to react, to ‘knee-jerk’ to the daily pendulum swing of news and commentary.

‘We are not absolved from the responsibility of prayer and of seeking The Lord, for He works alongside us, ‘co-labours’ with us. It is a great mystery, but He truly uses us to bring His plans to fruition. Prayer leads to ‘mission’ – we must hear from Heaven and deliver our personally assigned part in God’s plan.

‘We have already believed the Lord is speaking to many Christians in Britain about releasing a ‘sound of heaven’ over our Land, for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Read more about this – click here. The plans of the enemy are defeated when God’s people rise up, and standing in love and unity, stand, sing, speak and declare His Glory! (see 2 Chron 20). This should surely be our focus?’

A Prophetic Word from Quiver

‘We have been made aware of a Statement from the Christian prayer organisation, Quiver, written by its Convenor, Jennifer Abigail Lawson Wallace, that was released a couple of days ago. This powerfully speaks into the Brexit situation and is reproduced below. As usual, we ask you to weigh the words before The Lord.

‘We are in a time where we must keep our eyes fixed on heaven, let The Holy Spirit direct your thoughts and prayers, not the BBC (or other) news!’

A STATEMENT FROM QUIVER CONCERNING BREXIT – 24 November 2018

Last Tuesday was exactly two years ago, when we finished the intercessory journey around the UK. I had totally forgotten about that, but was at a prayer meeting at Emmanuel Centre on Tuesday 20th November (2016), when the Holy Spirit reminded me. He said “Today is exactly two years since you completed your intercessory journey around the UK.”

He began to remind me of the things He said at the end of that assignment; that He has taken control over the nation, and that whatever transpires, we should rest assured that He is in control. After the assignment, He had also said to me, “I will take you to Buckingham Palace and there you’ll complete this task, for I have taken over the nation.” A few months later, I attended the Queen’s garden party at Buckingham Palace, and there, I proclaimed Psalm 45 over the nation, declaring that Christ will rule this land with the Church, His Bride!

Since then, even though we have continued to pray concerning Brexit, the focus of the Lord to us at QUIVER has been the Church. To pray and prepare her to rise up boldly and work. The Lord need His Church to stand firm, and prepared and ready to reach out to the nation again. (Haggai 2). Hence our 36 days of fasting and prayer throughout the year, which concludes next week.

However, whenever I have felt panicky about the current situation with Brexit, I have been reminded that the LORD IS IN CONTROL AND WILL HAVE HIS WAY. I have a deep sense of peace, and the Lord has asked us to enter into rest and praise Him.

The Lord gave 2 Chronicles 20:

In the midst of a fierce threat of war from several nations, King Jehoshaphat declared to Judah and Jerusalem “Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets and you shall prosper.” Then he assigned worshipers to go before the army. They declared, “Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever.”

We, therefore, believe that this is not the time to panic but rather hold on to every prophetic word received regarding the UK, and stand firm and declare it. This is the time to believe that God answers prayer and He has heard and will answer and help us. This is the time to praise, worship and thank God and ask Him to glorify His name.

Indeed, it’s not by might but by His Spirit. Who are you O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!!!” Zechariah 4:6-7

As I prayed last night, I heard word: “The outcome of Brexit has already been determined in the courts of heaven.” We, therefore, believe that the counsel of God alone shall stand in regards to Brexit! No human being shall determine the outcome, God has already determined it.

After, praying last night, the Lord asked me to make a Prophetic Declaration over Britain. (I have an audio recording of this). After making the prophetic declaration, I had a vision of the Lord as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! I saw the Lion but He was with a Lioness. (This the first time I have seen the Lion with a Lioness). With this I had an assurance that the Lord, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah is with His Bride, the true Church. Jesus Christ is with us in this battle for our nation. Victory belongs to Jesus.

Let us do what King Jehoshaphat and Judah did, and stand firm on His word, promises and prophecies to our nation. Let us stand in faith and believe in the Lord’s ability to deliver. Let us have a confident assurance in our God and praise, worship and thank Him. Let us stand still and firm and see the salvation of our God. PSALM 46. Amen!!!

“Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway! Take out the stones; lift up a banner for the peoples!” – Isaiah 62:10. Jesus Christ is soon coming!!!

Footnotes by RB:
  • I humbly submit, believers have additional responsibility of being aware of events in detail, and of discerning spirits operating therein (eg. the instance of treachery and its rapid validation, as reported in Fulfilled Prophecy #30 blogs).
  • The Lord’s hand could be seen in the outcome of the General Election making the PM’s reduced majority reliant upon the Christian party in Northern Ireland (DUP), and in the unexpected need of Parliament’s approval to any ‘deal’ with the EU; both events being invaluable in view of concerns over governmental deceit.
  • Tue 27th – Today’s news on Donald Trump’s criticism of EU deal is doubtless part of the Lord’s working in this complex situation of deep spiritual significance.  Next, read deeper considerations of the ‘Divine Designs’ for Britain out of the EU.

Veronika West: Urgent word on breakthrough for ALL the UK!

FOR I HAVE HEARD THE CRIES OF THE OPPRESSED IN THIS NATION, I HAVE HEARD THE CRIES OF REPENTANCE AND I HAVE DECREED LIBERTY AND JUSTICE OVER THIS NATION, WATCH!

Prayer Declaration Alert re. Parliament

In view of Prime Minister Mrs May’s expected statement in the House of Commons at 10:30 this morning and the principled resignation of her Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab, who led negotiations with the EU since David Davis resigned in July, please join with Passion For The Nation’s following declaration over…

THE MOTHER OF PARLIAMENTS

Thus, Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt…And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, came to hear the wisdom of Solomon” 1 Kings 4:30-34

We thank You for every Christian foundation within the United Kingdom, for every Godly model that has been released in the past, and we acknowledge Your call to live according to Your laws and demonstrate Your principles to the nations. We specifically thank You for Parliament, known as the Mother of Parliaments, built upon Your truths, acknowledging Your Sovereignty and standing for the God- given place and freedom of the individual.

We decree and declare, in the days ahead our Parliament will model and release not only a past structure but also the power, wisdom and heart of the Kingdom.

Now, in the Name of Jesus, we continue to praise You and to worship You. We speak Your peace to every minister, Cabinet minister and MP, to hear, to consider and to be strong. We decree and declare every decision made today concerning this nation will shape and align the United Kingdom for the fullness of its God-given future.

We declare over the relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, that which You would separate will be separated, that which You would connect will be connected, and the boundaries and borders, spiritual, political and economic, will be established according to Heaven’s blueprint.

3 signs in 1 day of the EU’s shaking!!! (Fulfilled Prophecy #13 yet again – on 9/11!)

1st ‘SIGN’:

Upon seeing this banner headline of the EU’s totally unacceptable demand I thought to the Lord there may be only one way for these deliberately difficult negotiations to be concluded – for the EU to collapse first!

When reading the full article over a welcome coffee and almond croissant I found it’s closing paragraph (highlighted in photo) buried on the inside’s page 2 almost confirms that personal reaction:

If you may be unable to read that prophetical paragraph, its statement is well worth repetition and broadcasting (emphasis mine):

‘Elsewhere, Michael Barnier the EU’s chief negotiator,  said the European project could face ruin from populist forces in the elections next years.  He warned: “There is now a [Nigel] Farage in every country. The project is fragile, under threat and perishable.”

Later, I noticed a couple more indicative ‘signs’.:

2nd ‘SIGN’:

Telegraph’s international business editor Ambrose Evans-Pritchard opens on Italy-EU impasse heading for crisis:

The EU has no legal means to force the capitulation of Italy’s rebel government and the budget showdown is likely to escalate until there is a market crisis, warned a veteran euro fire-fighter.

‘Vitor Constancio, the European Central Bank’s former financial stability chief, said the high-stakes clash with Italy is extremely difficult to handle and Brussels is effectively powerless against a net contributor to the EU budget…’

3rd ‘SIGN’:

Its industry editor Alan Tovey opens Dyson wins battle with EU over testing of vacuum cleaners:

‘Dyson has won a long-running court battle in the EU over how vacuum cleaners’ energy consumption is labelled in what the company has called a “win for consumers”. The company has been arguing since 2014 that current tests are flawed because they are carried out when vacuum cleaners are empty of dust…

Issuing its ruling, the General Court said by ignoring Dyson’s claims the European Commission had “disregarded an essential element” of the directive on energy use. It added the original directive on how products are labelled relating to their true energy consumption “reflected a political choice of EU law”

Sir JamesDyson  added the battle had seen his company “forced to use freedom of information requests to obtain correspondence between German manufacturers and an EU commissioner… as part of the process to shine a light on the practices some companies will resort to”.

Veronika West: prophetic dream and word for US political parties

Posted on her Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook today, this word delivered by Veronika is a spiritual ‘upgrade’ to the ‘Third Term Panic’ cartoon by political cartoonist Thomas Nast published in Harper’s Weekly, 7th November 1874. (It is accredited with being the origin of the ‘Grand Old Party’s’ icon of an elephant and includes the Democrat icon of a mule or ‘jackass’ dressed in a lion skin.)

URGENT WORD FOR AMERICA CONCERNING BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS…!

A WORD TO ALL THE ELEPHANTS (REPUBLICANS), “WATCH! FOR A SUPERNATURAL ACCELERATION IS COMING UPON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THEY WILL BECOME UNSTOPPABLE AND UNCONTAINABLE, THERE WILL BE AN EVEN GREATER SHAKE-UP, BOTH POLITICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY, TAKING PLACE OVER THE LAND; WATCH AND PRAY! FOR THERE WILL BE A BREAKING OF THE BACKS OF MANY DONKEYS (DEMOCRATS) IN THE DAYS AHEAD, THEIR CRIES WILL GO UNHEARD FOR GOD HAS HARDENED THE HEARTS OF THEIR TASK MASTERS…!

A few nights ago I had a VERY STRANGE AND PECULIAR DREAM; In this dream I heard a strange sound it was like the sound of the rumbling of thunder in the far distance, as I listened the sound grew louder and louder and the ground beneath my feet began to shake and tremble, then I could feel a wind begin to blow across the place I was standing in and suddenly I saw in the distance a LARGE HERD OF ELEPHANTS STAMPEDING ACROSS THE LAND. Now in the dream as I looked with great astonishment at these incredibly large and powerful creatures it was quickened to me by the Spirit that I was being shown something beginning to unfold concerning the Nation of America. As I looked at this great herd of Elephants stampeding across the land I heard these words,

“WATCH! FOR WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO IN THIS NATION WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE AND UNCONTAINABLE, FOR THERE IS NOW COMING AN EVEN GREATER SHAKING BOTH SPIRITUALLY AND POLITICALLY TO THIS NATION, WATCH! FOR MY HAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE IS NOW MOVING TO SHAKE, SHIFT AND SIFT THIS NATION”!

Then suddenly the dream shifted and I saw a small herd of DONKEYS walking towards me. Now as I looked at these donkeys I saw that they were HEAVY LADEN carrying a great number of clay bricks upon their backs. As I looked again I saw that there was a man walking behind them with I long stick and he was beating many of the donkeys shouting at them to keep walking, then suddenly I saw one of the donkeys collapse under the great weight of its load and the man with the stick immediately ran over to the creature and began to beat the animal, I saw that the animal was dying but the man began to kick the donkey and shouted even louder telling it to get up and walk, but the donkey was severely exhausted and I watched as the animal lay down and died. Then I watched as the man unloaded the bricks from the dead donkey’s back and proceeded to load up the clay bricks upon the other donkeys who were already heavy laden and then I watched as the man left the dead donkey’s corpse behind him and then began to beat upon the backs of the donkeys that were now carrying the extra load. Then I heard these words,
“WATCH! FOR THE BACKS OF MANY DONKEYS WILL BE BROKEN AND THEY SHALL PLEAD FOR MERCY BUT THEIR CRIES WILL GO UNHEARD AND UNHEEDED, FOR I HAVE HARDENED THE HEARTS OF THEIR TASK MASTERS”! (The dream ended)

LISTEN, WATCH AND PRAY; “Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed–without remedy. When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan”!

Let us PRAY; FOR THE GOVERNMENT AND THE CHURCH IN THIS HOUR, LET’S SEEK GOD’S FACE FOR WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWLEDGE, STRENGTH, POWER, COUNSEL AND THE FEAR OF THE LORD.

PS; PLEASE PRAY AND WEIGH AND SHARE AS THE SPIRIT LEADS.
RB’s Footnote: This reminds me of the warnings Revd John Kilpatrick has received for America, especially this received two weeks after Donald Trump’s inauguration:

(The Lord said), “Tell the people that the middle-ground has now disappeared! It’s either going to be evil or it’s going to be Godly!
“Tell them! Tell them it’s either going to be evil or it’s going to be Godly”. He said, “The evil will be evil still and the righteous will be righteous still. There is no middle-ground any more!...”

A ‘watching’ public press foresees a leaderless EU!

OED definition of ‘spectator’ – ‘a person who watches at a show, game or other event’.

Thank you to Carolyn S for alerting me to last weekend’s edition of The Spectator, and I particularly note its front cover’s prophetical cartoon:

As Carolyn observes, “…the spiritual overtones are deafening! A significant time for intercessors to pray!”

Immediately, I’m reminded of the prophecies brought in 2015 and 2016 through David Noakes and Patsy Southway of the fall of the EU (Fulfilled Prophecies #13 & #14 et seriatim) – as well as through Revd John Kilpatrick in Dec 2015 on a coming shaking and jolting of nations, and ‘Sue’ some years previously (under ‘Voice of Believers’ in UK/EU in/out #3 – In the Face of God).

As expected from this periodical, Douglas Murray’s analysis Mutti’s Last Days – Angela Merkel is on the way out, and so is her vision for the European Union is worth taking time to read for his informative opinion.

Brexit and the Bible: a ‘journey’ into their connection – part 1

An apposite posting for All Saints’ Day!  And it’s accompanied by confirmations in the news not only on the day I received it but also today, as told at the end Part 2.

In this tripartite account Dave Hood continues his personal reflections and insights on a Biblical meditation directly relevant to Brexit. I note that they precede and are reinforced by the angelic word on the ‘final battle’ for Britain. Also, another author’s guest post will return to the ‘rescue’ theme.  

In his first email (at 15:19) of the day to me on Monday 16th October, Dave writes: 

‘The Lord began to speak to me about Brexit, GB and Europe / EU / Egypt and gave me most of all of it from scripture, hence the format. Here are 2 extracts from 3 given over the past 4/5 days.

Passion for the Nation: Brexit prayer declaration

Click/tap this header for link to Passion For The Nation’s website:

BREXIT

Father in Heaven, we come into agreement with Your word in Matthew 17: 20 “you can say to this mountain, ‘move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible to you”. (Also: Zechariah 4:7)

We declare You desire that this nation will display Your Kingdom and Your Kingship, moving in agreement with both Your Spirit and Your statutes.

We declare 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.

At this critical time in the final Brexit negotiations, we come into agreement with His word in Romans 4:17: He is ‘the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist’  – God 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, so we stand as the Ekklesia and in the Name of Jesus we call forth the strategies of heaven.

We declare over all negotiations and stumbling blocks, nothing is impossible to You and we speak “grace, grace and more grace” to every seeming impossibility, in Jesus Name. (Zechariah 4:7)

We speak Your clarity into the atmosphere of confusion between Europe and UK over the hindrances, diversions and weariness and we declare “the purposes of God will be fulfilled.”

Prayer and Brexit-related dream of Ireland v Germany

Here’s an interesting ‘coincidence’, or God-incidence, for prayerful consideration:

Editions Graphocarte

With map in hand early in the morning, we ‘Keep Praying & Bless‘ to decree and pray blessing upon the nation, our locality and one of 70 towns and cities across the UK, specifically including our natural and spiritual families, as was done for the 2012 Olympic Games. (Some may recall my post-Referendum daily series on this, beginning here.)

In view of Monday morning’s news on the Prime Minister Theresa May putting the brakes upon an anticipated Brexit deal with the EU, because of its unacceptable demand to treat Northern Ireland as being outside the UK but in the EU, it was highly appropriate that ‘Day 19‘ (Monday) in our prayer cycle was for:

‘BELFAST – Decree: I AM YOUR PEACE’ (‘So Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and called it The Lord is Peace.’ Judges 6:24)

“We decree: great peace and great joy will permeate the atmosphere over the British Isles and Ireland.

After pronouncing the Aaronic Blessing over the nation is this for Ulster’s capital – “We bless the people to seize the day, make the most of opportunities and to be filled with expectation and hope.”

Following that a Prayer of Protection is said for ‘the British Isles and Ireland‘ and, when referring to “roads, railways, waterway and ferries”, I turn the map over to show this routes one >>

Therefore, beyond specific locations within the United Kingdom, we daily include the Republic of Ireland in that prayer as if we’re one entity, as is graphically implicit in this second map.

Moreover, as negotiations with the EU have met their greatest hurdle dealing with customs issues between the EU and UK at the ‘seamless’ border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, it seems to me that maybe the Lord’s heart is for ALL our isles to be as separate economically as we are geographically from the continent. That is, that we should become our own ‘common-wealth’ within greater worldwide trade.

In view of the devious EU’s demands and intransigence maybe the Lord’s put it in their mind to make a nonsensical requirement? That is, an extra ‘backstop’ to a ‘backstop’ clause for customs operations at our Eire/EU border in Northern Ireland!

This tactic has not only confirmed but also made their true purpose as ‘plain as a pike-staff’ for all to see – both ‘Leavers’ and ‘Remainers’ – namely, the break-up of the union of Great Britain! (The goal of major European nations over centuries past – first France, then Spain and then a unified Germanic people.)

A DREAM OF IRELAND v GERMANY

Therefore, and in view of my note on the NI-Eire border appended to the Declaration for our Vision & Economy, it’s most interesting to learn of an intriguing dream Rev Simon Copley posted on a prayer group’s Facebook. It’s published with his kind permission:

‘I had a strange dream last night, set in the late 19th Century or early 20th century (pre-Great War). Germany had invaded Ireland and was at war with the Irish government and people. The Irish were resisting furiously. Although Ireland was an integral part of Britain and of vital strategic importance, the British Government were standing by and letting events take their course. I wondered if this was significant to current EU negotiations. Will we see a rupture between Ireland and the EU?’ (Monday 15th October 2018)

I agree Simon’s conclusion and, in my humble opinion, this dream also indicates that – in a surprisingly novel way – the historical perspective on this crucial matter requires serious reconsideration.

A Historico-Futuristic Perspective

Germany is the predominant power within and thus directs the EU (some suspect it’s a ‘Fourth Reich’, or German empire) but the dream’s dating is highly unusual, as is the role-reversal between Germany and Britain in view of our historical involvement with Ireland.

Indeed, in view of its present timing this reversal may connect with the prophecy of the “curse being reversed and overturned” – which itself was brought through a prophetic ministry in Northern Ireland!!  So, maybe Simon’s dream is yet another confirmation of the previous post’s content?

Hopefully therefore, the Irish government will start looking afresh at their situation in the EU and change allegiance to their ancestral foe – the Union of Great Britain!

Exactly 100 years ago Germany had faced a sudden reversal in its military fortunes. In July 1918, Allied French general’s Petain and Foche changed tactics to halt general Ludendorff’s smashing through British troops at Arras and subsequent broad offensive. With tanks breaking the stalemate of trench warfare and backed up by aerial attacks from the new Royal Air Force, and reinforced by Canadian and Australian plus French, Belgian, Portuguese troops and newly arrived American armies, the Allies breached the German lines in September 1918 and reversed the enemy’s advance!

So, with Germany in retreat 100 years ago this month the Central Powers of Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria began making peace overtures, and in early November German generals agreed to a cessation of hostilities commencing 11 November 1918 (see ‘The Armistice’).

Will history now repeat itself with the German-led EU going into retreat and giving in to Britain’s demands for a quick, complete separation from the EU’s customs union? Or else, perhaps the EU too will meet with a sudden, great reversal and collapse, as in several contemporary prophecies (eg. this recent urgent word, and on the EU being weighed).

PS: I read this very informative article about the Irish Taoiseach (prime minister) in the day’s newspaper only after having published the above and noted its title uses my term – Friend or Foe? The Changing Moods of EU’s Pivotal Players in Brexit. (NB. digital title differs from this broadsheet title – it’s ‘premium content’ but free access is available.)

Declarations for our Vision and Economy – Northern Ireland

Passion for the Nation issued the following declarations for praying over Britain today and yesterday respectively. Republished here with permission, emphases and notes mine:

VISION

‘The earth was without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said…” Genesis 1:2

We thank You for the Godly heritage of this nation – for the Kingdom foundations within our nation, our Government, Justice systems, National Institutions and Culture and we thank You for the men and women who laid those foundations through their love for You and their love for the people.

We confess where their promises, commitments and vows made to You on behalf of the land have been broken or unfulfilled, we appeal to Your mercy and that any judgment against us will be reversed. (Take a moment to ask God what He would put on your heart…)

Now Jesus, we thank You for Your kindness and Your grace and we come into agreement with Your word in Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion…”

We decree as the new season for this nation is birthed and as new foundations laid, the United Kingdom will be shaped and formed according to God’s design and completed according to His order and timing.

We speak into the Brexit negotiations and we declare:
  • “Shift!” where they need to shift,
  • “Change!” where they need to change,
  • “Align!” where Kingdom alignment is needed.

Now we declare in this season, You desire to use the many and not the few, so in Jesus’ Name we call Your people into position and declare that the uniqueness of gifting within each one will be ready, positioned and released, in Jesus Name.

Now Jesus, we continue to pray for Theresa May,
  • that she will hear Your Voice, above and beyond every other voice,
  • that she will have courage to do as You ask, and strength to carry through against all opposition.

ECONOMY

The Lord will open to You His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in season, and to bless all the work of Your hands. You shall lend to many nations but You shall not borrow” Deuteronomy 28:12

According to Your Word, we declare You desire that this nation will be blessed and not cursed, to lend and not borrow.

We acknowledge You are the Alpha and the Omega who rules over the nations in love and truth, and that all wisdom comes from You. We speak Your revelatory wisdom to those who work at the Treasury and the Bank of England – especially to the Chancellor. Even as policies and budgets are put into place, we speak alignment of all decisions and directives according to Your purpose and plan.

We decree and declare in this nation that businesses, industry and manufacturing will flourish, aided and strengthened by strategic and advantageous trade agreements.

We declare in the Name of Jesus: banking systems, financial data systems and the Stock Market will be safe and secure, unaffected by any plan of man or the enemy to bring confusion, disturbance or collapse.

Now, we continue to declare the Lordship and Sovereign Will of God over every aspect of the Brexit Bill and the future relationship with the European Union, especially concerning Trade Policies, Deals and Arrangements and the Irish Border, that Your plans for this nation in all their fullness will be established.

YET AGAIN media uses words Christian seer heard from God! (Fulfilled Prophecies #35, #36 & #37)

Thursdays are normally a writing day prior to the long weekend, so I’d have noted and blogged the following news but for being busy on necessary repairs. Therefore, it was late in the day when I read yet another mainstream media headline using words that Veronika West had brought as from the Lord on the contentious nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court.

As I hadn’t opportunity to emphasise the earlier instances then, as well as looking at the latest, we need to refer back to details of Update on Prophecies re US Supreme Court. Listed therein are several of Veronika’s reports of visions and words received on that matter, together with an apparently unrelated one about ‘puppet-master’ George Soros’ influence being cut – and then we learned of his link to anti-Kavanaugh protesters!

So let’s revisit and flesh-out details noted from her Facebook, noting that the latest to be confirmed is the oldest:

FULFILLED PROPHECY #35

  • 24 Sept: ‘AN URGENT WORD ON THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…! “YOU SAY, “DELAY, DELAY, DELAY BUT GOD SAYS THE THIEF HAS BEEN CAUGHT AND HE WILL REPAY, REPAY AND REPAY, SEVEN TIMES HE WILL REPAY…’! [for full text read report here]
  • 4 OCT: How Jeff Blake’s One-Week Delay Helped Clear Brett Kavanugh’s Name. The Weekly Standard ‘s full-some article begins (emphasis mine):‘When Arizona Republican senator Jeff Flake insisted on an additional one-week delay of the Kavanaugh confirmation vote in order to allow the FBI to conduct a supplemental background-check investigation into allegations of sexual assault, many Republicans feared that it would accomplish nothing other than provide time for more people to smear Kavanaugh with new false allegations. In fact, the delay has actually helped clear Kavanaugh’s name. FBI investigation turns up no ground-breaking information…’
  • The article examines claims against Kavanaugh, including those of prof. Christine Blasey Ford [Note: Dr Ron Jager, a 25-year veteran of the I.D.F. who served as Commander of Central Psychiatric Military Clinic for Reserve Soldiers, writes in Trauma and Dr Ford’s Testimony: ‘Dr. Ford spoke about an alleged event that in her own words was a traumatic event of life-changing proportions. Yet…mental health professionals would have difficulty in connecting Trauma to what Dr. Ford spoke about during her testimony…there were countless examples of the lack of coherent Trauma-related examples that would give an indication of PTSD as a result of a traumatic and life changing event…we were party to a performance by Dr. Ford (whose voice) fluctuated back and forth leaving us wondering how much was real and how much was imaginary or even how much was made up along the way.’]

FULFILLED PROPHECY #36

  • 28 Sep: ‘A QUICK WORD FOR THE NATION OF AMERICA…KAVANAUGH HEARING..! “FEAR NOT! SEE! THE HEAD OF LEVIATHAN HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF”, says the Spirit of God.’ [for full impact listen to video message]
  • 28 Sep: SOMEONE JUST SENT ME THIS LINK, CHECK THIS OUT AND LISTEN TO THE END WHERE THIS LADY MAKES REFERENCE TO “CUTTING OFF THE HEAD OF THE SNAKE”, this is amazing confirmation of what God spoke to me last night as I watched Dr Ford give her testimony.

 

FULFILLED PROPHECY #37

  • 2 Oct: ‘CHECK OUT HEADLINES; “ANNOUNCEMENT HAS THE NATION SHOOK”; “I saw a woman bowed down weeping bitterly before the King of Kings, the SOUND of her CRIES echoed through the realm of the Spirit like MIGHTY THUNDER, the SOUND of her WEEPING SHOOK THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF THE HEAVENS”!’ [29 Sept and 7Nov’16 ‘fall of giants’/’hang Haman’].
  • Rep. Trey Gowdy for Speaker of the House 2 October at 14:00 ·

EARTHQUAKE!

McConnell Makes Announcement on Kavanaugh That Has the Nation SHOOK (Details)

SEVEN-FOLD SPIRIT OF GOD

Noteworthy too are the prophesied and reported references to number seven, starting on the evening of 1st October and coming to its first completion by 7th October:

7

A WORD CONCERNING THE SUPREME COURT OF AMERICA; JUDGE BRETT KAVANAUGH; A ‘7TH’ FBI INVESTIGATION:…;”WATCH! FOR A DIVINE CONVERGENCE OF THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD IS NOW TAKING PLACE OVER THE SUPREME COURT, A DIVINE WORK OF COMPLETION AND PERFECTION IS TAKING PLACE OVER THE NATION

‘Last night as I went before the Lord again in prayer concerning Judge Kavanaugh and the Supreme Court, I said to the Lord, “Father let us reason together, this innocent man has now been investigated 6 times already and now must endure a 7th time!?”, and before I could get all the words out of my mouth the Spirit of God spoke to me saying,

“Daughter of man, I AM THE SEVEN-FOLD SPIRIT AND I SHALL HAVE MY WAY AND I SHALL HAVE THE LAST SAY IN THIS NATION AND IN THE SUPREME COURT, FOR SURELY I TELL YOU AGAIN, SEVEN TIMES I SHALL CAUSE THE THIEF TO REPAY WHAT HE HAS STOLEN, YES! SEVEN-FOLD RESTORATION SHALL SURELY COME, LISTEN! FOR MANY HAVE SAID, ‘NOT ANOTHER INVESTIGATION?’, BUT I SAY TO YOU WATCH! FOR THIS WILL BE A SIGN THAT DIVINE JUSTICE HAS TRIUMPHED OVER THE PLANS AND PURPOSES OF THE ENEMY IN THE LAND AND OVER THE SUPREME COURT, WATCH! FOR A DIVINE CONVERGENCE OF MY SEVEN SPIRITS IS NOW TAKING PLACE OVER THE NATION AND OVER THE SUPREME COURT, FOR IN THE NEXT 7 DAYS, 7 WEEKS AND 7 MONTHS THERE WILL BE A SUPERNATURAL SHIFT AND A DIVINE REALIGNMENT TAKING PLACE IN THE NATION AS I WORK ALL THINGS TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE ME, WATCH! AS I GO UP BEFORE THIS NATION, WATCH! AS I GO UP BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT AS THE MIGHTY BREAKER TO BREAK TO PIECES EVERY ROCK OF RESISTANCE AND REBELLION, WATCH! AS MY SPIRIT OF TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS NOW MOVES TO EXPOSE AND UNCOVER, OVERTHROW AND OVERTURN EVERY THRONE OF WITCHCRAFT AND WICKEDNESS IN THE LAND, FOR TRULY I TELL YOU I AM NOW BRINGING TO COMPLETION AND PERFECTION THAT WHICH I HAVE STARTED IN THIS NATION AND IN THE SUPREME COURT OF AMERICA”!

Friday’s Daily Telegraph (5th October) closes its US Editor’s report ‘Republicans believe FBI probe clears Kavanaugh’ as follows:

‘Sarah Sander, the White House press secretary, said, “We have allowed the FBI to do exactly what they do best. We haven’t micro-managed this process.”

‘ A clearly exasperated Mr Trump tweeted last night; “This is now the 7th time the FBI has investigated Judge Kavanaugh. If we made it 100, it would still not be good enough for the Obstructionist Democrats.”

Finally, beware that these shenanigans could happen in the UK too as a result of the judiciary beginning to make politically-based judgments instead of those based solely upon case law (Charles Moore: Will our judges be judged as Brett Kavanaugh has been?).

Breaking News: EU President reiterates Brexit free-trade deal

According to Westmonster, this afternoon President of the European Council Donald Tusk tweeted that his offer of a Canada super-plus free-trade deal for Britain’s leaving the EU still remains on the table, as above. The Brexit briefers’ short report states:
