End-times Briefing 25: disposing of ‘Rapture ritual’ – Andrew Whalen

First, a reminder of my perspective on End-times as blogged on 23rd February 2023:

“Occupy (ie. do My business) until I come” – Luke 19

Then four weeks later:

OCCUPY NOW! DOUBLY RE-ITERATED BY THE LORD!!

One of my Canadian friends emailed me yesterday about a prophetic insight of which I was aware on Andrew Whalen’s Facebook, viz: (LOL here’s my ’22’ again!)

“I don’t want to overshare everything that I ‘hear’ or get from the Lord.. and so I don’t want to fatigue people with that.. or make it seem like I know it all — I certainly do not!!

But the following is something that came strongly today, and although controversial in the church world, I believe the Lord is looking to address this more than ever now! (Especially in light of the rapture predictions that just keep popping up over and over and steal our energy, focus, and mission— roll the eyes)

I’m going to share what I ‘received’ and some of my thoughts.. weigh it for sure, and its ok if not all agree,— but at least we can start having some conversations.

Today I was driving and I heard:

“The ‘end times’ is a phrase that was hijacked by the enemy, who through nefarious channels of infiltration, charged and infused the phrase with lies, gnostic fallacy, distorted paradigms, injected meanings and understandings that intentionally frames our reality towards an agenda directed by darkness. — Now whenever the church uses the phrase ‘end times’ they enter into the power of that ritual.

Its ultimate effect is the negation of the original charter of the Ekklesia, To posses the gates of our enemies.”

My additional thoughts are as follows:

There needs to be a recovery of what the full counsel of God is through scripture on the actual meaning of End -Times’ / the Last days, but to do so means we also have to understand there was indeed intentional occult programming around it- and we must dissect the Holy from the profane!

I believe the consequences of entering the ‘end times ritual’, keeps us focused on escape instead of expansion. We surrender our inheritance of the earth to the devil. We give our keys away that were given to re-establish edenic ‘authority’.

When we enter the ‘end times ritual’, we abdicate our responsibility to overcome evil with good. It minimizes the Abrahamic covenant to an etherial world only realized after we leave the Earth. It disengages the Lord’s call to make disciples of nations.

It makes futile the call to be salt and light for the purpose of societal transformation. It allows evil to increase because that is the frame of expectation. Escape to heaven becomes our constant obsession, instead of the explicit aim of the Lord’s prayer to advance heaven on Earth. Etc. Etc.

Controversial? Certainly! – But some worthwhile food for thought.”

Canadian Paul Morris writes about Andrew’s preceding points:
“I am quite familiar with Andrew Whalen and his ministry. He shared this word recently and stated it should be taken to the HS and weighed – which is what Paul was told to write to the Thessalonians “prove all things hold fast to that which is good”.

It’s been almost 10 yr since HS started revamping my “theology” that had been ingrained from years of being taught in churches of various evangelical denominations. I have listened as to this topic, to some ministers who’ve also had their view on this changed, such as Rebz Marcelo, Johnny Enlow, Diana Larkin, and others.

HS has been asking them to do what He had me do in teaching others, and sharing with others, which is to challenge errant theologies, in order to wake the believers to the commission they’re called to – which is to arise and do the works Jesus did while incarnate, through the power of the HS – as the verse says “for this the Son of God was manifested, to destroy the works of the devil”. He said before ascending that all authority in heaven and earth was given Him, then He bequeathed it to us His believers, telling us to go into all the world , preach the gospel, cleanse the lepers, heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons, freely we’ve received freely give.

We’re told that the same Spirit that empowered His earthly ministry, and raised Him from the dead dwells in us to empower us to do what He commanded. For 200 years since Darby then Scofield promoted the theory of “rapture” as He told Andrew in this word, the enemy has largely side-lined and negated the ekklesia from the mission they’re called to do.”

End-times Briefing 24: Bible prophecy on Catholic apostasy

Briefing 23 cites 2Thessalonians 2.3 and 1Timothy 4.1 on the prophesied falling away from faith and foundational Christian tenets, and reports on heretical teaching within the Anglican communion and the new Archbishop of Canterbury’s very dubious stance.

Now, we consider the apostasy within the Roman Catholic church as reported by the former Papal Legate to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, whom the late Argentinian pope excommunicated for strongly denouncing his heresy.

This blog and The Gateway Pundit have frequently featured his excellent articles, as here and here respectively; and here’s the latter’s latest on the new American pope.

MUST READ… Archbishop Viganò: Vatican’s Globalist Alliance — Bergoglio and Prevost Push “Replacement Migration” to Erase Western Christian Civilization

The Archbishop opens his guest post as follows::

‘Jorge Bergoglio’s monomaniacal obsession with indiscriminate immigration and miscegenation finds a zealous proponent in Robert Prevost.

The handover did not represent any radical change, either doctrinally or morally, or politically or socially. The conciliar-synodal Church is and remains the “Ancilla Novi Ordinis”, the courtesan of the globalist elite.

We know well that the migratory phenomenon is not spontaneous: it is not caused by famine, war, or religious persecution.

Instead, it was desired and planned as a means of destabilizing Western nations, and illegal immigration is used as an instrument of social subversion. This is stated in a United Nations document of March 21, 2000, entitled “Replacement Migration.” (continue reading his stern rebukes)

In TGP’s coverage we find superb White House Press Secretary, a Christian, rebuking this pope:

Karoline Leavitt Fires Back After Pope Leo XIV’s Thinly Veiled Swipe at Trump on Immigration

Moreover, a couple of days later on 11th October the Archbishop summarises in his ‘X files’ (!) seven decades of what he ardently regards is heresy within the Roman Church:

He writes,

‘Sixty-three years ago, on this day, the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council was solemnly opened, the first “council” of the church that takes its name from it – the “conciliar church” in fact.

– It was a “council” because it sought to “reconcile” God and the world, Christ and Belial, truth and falsehood, good and evil.

– It was “ecumenical” because it sought to legitimize interreligious dialogue, which the Roman Catholic Church had solemnly condemned.

– It called itself “second” to make people believe that it was in continuity with the perennial Catholic Magisterium, so that it could adulterate it by usurping the Authority of the Church and of the Roman Pontiff.

– It laid the pseudo-doctrinal foundations of today’s “synodal church,” which aims to subvert the hierarchical constitution of the Church and the Papacy.

Those who consciously adhere to this “council” are responsible for the demolition of the Catholic Church and ratify the conciliar and synodal coup with their complicity.’

This is ‘by-the-by’ for those adhering to the New Testament concept of the priesthood of all believers under the oversight of Biblically qualified leadership.

PS (16:30)

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!

Jesus’ End-times parable and Trump’s draining ‘the swamp’

WOW, we’re going ‘full circle’ in 17 years since what I heard about Bible fulfillment upon checking Jesus’ explanation of the wheat and tares parable (first email refers).

In my recent post on Why This Blog Watches American Presidents I state:

2022 – I learn Trump’s personal ‘MAGA’ mission SINCE 2012 is to remove corruption within US politics – ie culling the tares!> So, we’re both on the same page!!’

NOW, last Thursday Derek Johnson alludes to the same parable within this item on RattleTrap1776 Telegram channel seriously questioning events in Ukraine – not to forget the inexplicable missing millions of dollars – as in this extract (emphases mine):

“…What’s the United States of America’s linkage to Ukraine to be the sole-funders and fighters even though there’s zero troops deployed to Ukraine?

The ONLY linkage to the United States of America to Ukraine are the Department of Defense 2004/05 funding of the Biolabs, the 4 Executive Orders and National Emergency declared by Obama in 2014, Biden’s 7 trips in 7 months to Ukraine in 2014, Victoria Nuland’s security of $1 Billion for Ukraine in 2014, the same $1 Billion Biden said would be withheld if a certain prosecutor wasn’t fired (and was fired), Victoria Nuland saying ” **** the European Union” in 2014, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Mitt Romney, and Biden’s children working in Ukraine, making MILLIONS.

Laws and Orders invoked outline a Special Operation via Unconventional Warfare, Irregular Warfare, Clandestine Operations, Covert Operations. 

The Swamp is being drained of the global alliance of bureaucrats, lobbyists and defense contractors as promised.

The 1961 Military Industrial Complex speech is now of the past as the draining of the clowns from the Pentagon and Department of Defense are now gone.

And all Liberals and Democrats are being separated from the Good of the world. The world’s watching the Biblical portion paint itself loud and clear.

All liberals are replicating the chaff with reprobate minds. And now their hell will be living in the world of the wheat doing what’s right and there’s not a thing they can do to stop it…” 

By the way, I’ve inserted an extract from transcribed account of the outrageous media-meeting of president Zelensky with President Trump in the ‘Farago Conference’ section of this post:

The Tinderbox Prophecy – Michael M Bennett

The Endgame is now in play!

On Sunday Michael Miles Bennett emailed as below, but upon preparing I realise it fits exactly with the Bible prophecy in my first post of 16 years ago this month, as above:  

Dear Richard,

Previously I sent you a dream dated 1st October 2021 – which you added to your Blog [Published in ‘October Surprise’ – Mon 18th: Is Two Presidents Prophecy about Obama & Biden? as second of two dreams, updated in 2021 Dream of Biden and £ Note Fulfilled.]

I do not have such large-scale foreshadowings very often, but do both hear and see from the Father fairly regularly. I do not normally pass these on. However, after some consideration a word I received on 30th January 2025, does seem to be suitable for your Blog – if you would like to publish it. It is very brief.

 “I declare that the globalist regime seems like a rock – as firm, as solid as a rock, but in reality it’s a tinder box, and the tinder will burn and the box with it.”

 That’s it. I’m calling it the Tinderbox Prophecy.

Interpreting it was, at first, rather a joke for me. I felt that it was obvious that, as centre right parties rose in the EU, Reform in Britain and Trump came to power in America, it was obvious that globalism would collapse. Indeed, arguably, with the rise of Russia, China, India, the BRICS+ Economic group globalism is already over. But, it quickly became clear that such an assumption was incorrect. The Tinderbox word was not mere encouragement for me.

Indeed, it is clear that the globalists will ‘fight back’. The attempt on Donald Trump’s life in the summer was an example of that. The Starmer regime in London is another. The EU continues, despite opposition in various nation-states. So long as the Box remains – a cabal of super-wealthy individuals – their finances can be used to exercise undue influence.

One problem with this foreshadowing is that it is not at all clear how the global, historical movement into the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Tribulation, including the reality of global government, which then breaks up into the ten kingdoms can form, (if the current version of, what we might call, the ‘premature antichrist system’ of) globalism, is destroyed. The entire edifice will need rebuilding. However, if my understanding of the Divine Plan is correct, the current collection of globalists are being rejected – not least by the Satanic system, Daniel’s Fourth Beast. How we get to there, from here, is not at all clear to me – at present.

So, the tinder is the government and non-government organisations (finance, socialism and whatever else is used) that run globalism, using legalism, murder and force, at least in the West. The box consists of those globalists and their financial power bases that have worked towards creating the antichrist system pictured in Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel and two of the gospels. If the TInderbox word is correct, then the entire edifice will be destroyed – the tinder will burn and the box with it. That is how I interpret the word.

On Saturday 8th February 2025 I was thinking about publishing this Tinderbox Prophecy, by offering to your site. I quote from my journal:

“Thinking about publishing the Tinderbox Prophecy this morning when I saw the following:

“The wooden Tinderbox – a cube – surround and contained an image of the world – earth.

“This develops the Tinderbox Prophecy. It is not just the world that will be freed – by consumption of the ‘tinder’, but also the box.”  MMB

 I accept that the ‘tinder’ is already burning. I await the flames curling around the Box.

Yours M Miles Bennett

RB FOOTNOTE:
Most readers are aware that upon opening my Bible in 2008 to check wording of Jesus’ parable of the wheat and tares I inwardly heard “This is All about to be fulfilled!” 
So, let’s check Matthew 13 (NKJV,  courtesy Bible Gaateway.com):

The Parable of the Tares Explained

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.” 

37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

A New Dawn theme may confirm focus on The Day of the LORD

We continue from Memorable motifs on Mark 13..., which led into The Lord hands out FIVE jigsaw pieces on Daniel 9 with three confirmations on Dan 9:27, then to a footnote on the Bible’s first references to ‘The Day of the LORD’ in Obadiah 15.

Last Sunday evening’s Carols by Candlelight at 3Counties Vineyard was hosted by Helena and Andrew Carter, and to which he’d already announced,

‘We are theming the evening around “A New Dawn”. That the coming of Jesus marks a new dawn for the world and that as we welcome His gift of eternal life and come to Him, we enter a new dawn, a fresh start, a new birth.

This year we are focusing on Malachi 4:2: “But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.”

Andrew begins speaking briefly at 38:30 minutes citing the first two verses of the last chapter of the last book of the Old Testament at Malachi 4 (quotation provides the whole for context, NIV, emphases mine):

“Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. 3 Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.

Thus, the Lord foretells an especially significant time when all evil will be removed from the earth. It will be global, whereas the day He describes to Obadiah specifically relates initially to His dealing with Israel’s enemies, not only in ancient times but also currently :

“The day of the Lord is near for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
your deeds will return upon your own head.
16 Just as you drank on my holy hill,
so all the nations will drink continually;
they will drink and drink and be as if they had never been.
17 But on Mount Zion will be deliverance;
it will be holy, and Jacob will possess his inheritance.
18 Jacob will be a fire and Joseph a flame;
Esau will be stubble, and they will set him on fire and destroy him.
There will be no survivors from Esau.”
The Lord has spoken.

Jesus confirms that prophecy a few centuries later in His parable of the wheat and tares sown by Him and by satan respectively, as explained at Matthew 13:40-43:

As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

All this takes us full circle from 16 years ago when sensing the Lord saying, as recounted in my email The Endgame Is Now In Play:

“This is ALL about to be fulfilled”!

The Lord hands out FIVE ‘jigsaw pieces’ on Daniel 9

“So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not (let the reader understand) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains…” (Mark 13:14 – emphases mine – re Dan 9:27 NKJV)

NO such thing as coincidence! WOTTA-WEEK of God-incidents last week was! And which metaphor better describes it: The Lord’s full hand pointing out certain things, or His dropping them like pieces of His Invisible Jigsaw ??

It’s remained uppermost in mind, as though the Lord began pointing (index finger) at Mark 13’s reference to ‘the abomination of desolation’ in Book of Daniel, then (middle finger) I shared a reference whilst a friend brought a related prophecy, next another published an article, and finally I got the ‘thumb’s up’ from a third friend telling me of currently studying Daniel!

However, as with many previous postings let’s examine these five-fold indicators like jigsaw pieces being dropped and placed into the bigger picture, which we don’t yet see in its entirety:

1st PIECE – 8th Dec:

As reported with Adam Harding Willis’ spectacular sermon notes of Dave Wright in my Memorable Motifs’ on Mark 13, Jesus’ above prophetic statement is cited. At video’s 55:25 time-point Dave notes that Daniel’s prophecy at Dan 9:27 was initially fulfilled in BC168 when Antiochus Epiphanes (‘God manifest’) set up an altar to Zeus in and upon the Temple’s altar and sacrificed a pig thereon, thus desecrating the Almighty’s most holy sanctuary.

For history see Antiochus Epiphanes—The Bible’s Most Notoriously Forgotten Villain – Biblical Archaeology Society NB: Hanukkah (lit.“rededication”) is eight-day festival beginning on 25 Kislev, celebrated the Maccabees’ recapture of the second Temple from the Syrian Greeks, and its rededication, marked by the miraculous kindling of lights on a menorah or chanukiah. Only one small jug of oil was found for fuelling the lights and expected to last just one day – but they burned for EIGHT days!!

As ‘the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy’ (Rev 19:10) then His instruction “So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not, then…” is indubitably prophetic about this sign appearing sometime in the future. Thus, Jesus not only confirms the accuracy of the angel Gabriel’s prophecy to Daniel but also bears witness to its coming true, thereby establishing it according to the principle of Deuteronomy 19:15.

Our church team leader’s message closed by urging us to consider:

2nd PIECE – 9th Dec:

As that question would be discussed in Home Group I took a seminal book The Invisible Hand (1984) on geo-political history of the Holy Land to cite its reference to a later appearance of ‘The Abomination’.

As recounted in Bio Info, the Lord had put this in my hand and validated its content by what was being shown simultaneously on BBC. Its author Victor Dunstan examines the time-scales of Daniel’s prophecies and the ‘Abomination of Desolation’.

He cites Gibbon’s ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ regarding the outcome of the six months’ siege of Jerusalem (636-7 AD) during Muslim attacks against the Christian Byzantine empire and conquest of The Levant. Its Patriarch agreed to surrender on condition he submit to the Caliph Umar in person:

‘After signing the capitulation, he entered the city without fear or precaution; and courteously discoursed with the Patriarch concerning its religious antiquities. Sophronius bowed before his new master and secretly muttered, in the words of Daniel, “The abomination of desolation is in the holy place!”

Three decades later the Islamic shrine and Dome on the Rock mosque was completed upon a wing of the ruins of the Temple Mount. Victor emphases – it still STANDS there!.

3rd PIECE – 11th Dec:

I noticed Veronika West reports a “9th hour” vision experienced on 9th December of America and “Daniel 9, a stitch in time”.

As I’d already started drafting my post on Mark 13 and its reference to Daniel 9, as well as including the “abomination” remarks on Caliph Umar’s from The Invisible Hand, then in sharing Veronika’s post I noted the God-incidence, as shown herein.

Veronika does not refer in any extent on the content of Daniel 9 but we know it’s prime matter is the intense intercession and deep penitence for and confession of his and his people’s sins and rebellion.

He record’s the Lord’s response in sending the angel Gabriel to give him assurance and give him understanding of a the vision of an awesome Seventy ‘Weeks’ to “finish their transgression, make an end of sins, make reconciliation for iniquity, bring everlasting righteousness, seal up the vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy” .

So Veronika’s hearing the Lord, I say again, for this is the Ninth Hour! Yes! Daniel 9 — For a Stitch in time shall save nine!” may well mean His answering intercessory prayers for America!

4th PIECE – 13th Dec:

John Barber, friend and author of Prophets of the Bible, posts in his series on Daniel’s four visions: (Daniel 9) Daniel’s Seventy Weeks

5th PIECE – 14th Dec:

Chatting with Andrew Milne as he prepared food at his and his wife’s party, I asked about his study for Masters in Divinity course and he mentioned reading Daniel and an exegetical exposition on Daniel 9’s prophecy of 70 ‘weeks’!!

We have a similar stance on the Holy Spirit gifting of prophecy and recognise its lack of appreciation by scholars of ‘classical interpretation’ hinders a full understanding.

CONCLUSION

My New Spirit-Filled Life Study Bible’s very helpful footnotes also cite the ‘Classical Interpretation’ of Dan 9:26-7 and close its three paragraphs on that, as follows:

‘The classical approach does not, however, rule out antitype fulfillment of the broader principles in Jesus Christ, in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70, nor in the last days’ rampages of the Antichrist. Daniel’s language is clearly eschatological at points, denoting a multilevel prophetic fulfillment. See note on Obad 15.’

SO, IS THE LORD POINTING TO OBADIAH 15?

‘For the Day of the LORD upon all the nations is near; and as you have done, it shall be done to you; your reprisal shall return upon your own head.’

‘Note: …The word ‘day’ occurs 11 times in vv 8-14. Now it becomes the day of the LORD, a season of judgement and divine justice upon all the nations around Israel. The OT looked ever forward to this time.’ [Emphases as published therein.]

Therefore, has The Day Of The LORD arrived??

Memorable motifs on Mark 13, Jesus’ command to “Watch!” – His Return!

Throughout this year’s studying of the Gospel of Mark at 3Counties Vineyard church in Hammer, Haslemere, I’d been looking forward to how our leadership would teach upon Chapter 13 ‘The Destruction of the Temple & Signs of the End of The Age’ (NIV).

Last Sunday, 8th December, it was a delight how team leader Dave Wright not only taught but also finished of with a most apposite, serious question to consider. Pens and paper were handed out for us to jot our thoughts, and use for later discussion at house groups, as shown below:

Dave shared photos of Jerusalem taken during his and Rowena’s pre-war visit to Israel and which made his tackling eschatology personally poignant.

His closing emphasis upon Jesus’ instruction to all His followers about the signs of the End-times and repeated injunction to “Watch!” echoes what I shared 15 years ago to friends and a few church leaders by email, as herein.

Moreover, it acts to confirm a few thoughts in recent months to reboot my prime focus and take it up a level – then the very next day by way of God-incidental confirmation our sister in Northern Ireland receives a Vision over Manhattan relating to harvesting and judgement, which I link in the previous post to Matthew 13’s wheat and tares parable!

Therefore, I encourage you to carve out twenty minutes to play the above video as well as muse upon the meditational ‘mind-map’ of sermon notes provided by courtesy of Adam Harding Willis:

The Book of Revelation and the ‘Endgame’ parable – Rick Joyner

Since the Lord stunned me by dropping “This is ALL about to be fulfilled!” into my mind and spirit sixteen years ago upon opening my Bible to check what Jesus said about the parable of wheat and tares in Matthew 13 – as recounted in my first email on eschatology The Endgame is Now in Play – it’s been rare to read or hear anyone who  plugs that parable into End-times teaching, unless maybe within group discussion.  

Could that be because it may contradict claims about the ‘Rapture’ or ‘snatching up’ of believers upon Jesus’ Second Advent, as outlined in Paul’s first letter to the early church in Thessalonica? (1Thess 4 13-18)

However, Rick Joyner, founder/director of Morning Star Ministries, refers to it specifically in his latest message on his examining the Book of Revelation.

First, a reminder of Jesus’ explanation to His disciples about the purpose of parables after they’d asked, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” (Matthew 13 NKJV) He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the [a]mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.”

Then, when the gathered multitudes had left, His disciples needed to know what the parable of wheat and tares means and Jesus specifically relates it to the far distant future, the end of the Age (emphases mine):

“He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the Age, and the reapers are the angels.40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this Age.41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Rick Joyner in his Word for the Week: The Book of Revelation, Part 9 not only refers to that parable but also likening it to today’s returning to the depraved Days of Noah, The Tower of Babel and ‘Mystery Babylon’. His brief study begins:

‘We have been talking about the Lord restoring mankind and the earth. In Revelation, mankind falls to its deepest depravity before the Lord comes to rule and restore. He said it would be like “the days of Noah,” which saw the worst corruption and evil the world would experience until the end of this age. In His parable about the wheat and the tares, Jesus said, “the end of the age is the harvest” (see Matthew 13:39).

In this parable, Jesus was speaking of how the wheat and tares would grow up together. The harvest is when all the seeds that have been sown will come to full maturity, so both the good and evil sown into man will come to full maturity at the end of this age. Then, we will experience evil in its fullness—the full maturity of the sin of man personified in “the man of sin”—and the full maturity of the nature of Christ will be manifested in His people. This is predicted in Isaiah 60:1-3: “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. And nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” …’  (continue reading here)

As with Johnny Enlow’s Embracing the Golden Age, It is most encouraging to read a learned leader’s analysis that’s independent of overarching doctrinal direction.

Israel in the End Times – Neil Mackereth

I invite those who may be unfamiliar with the importance of the Jewish people and state of Israel in our heavenly Father’s purposes to read my dear friend’s incisive article, for which I express my admiration and gratitude:

ISRAEL IN THE END TIMES

Background

At its opening, the Bible quickly moves to the fall of man, brought about by satan’s lies and trickery. Then follows God’s sovereign selection of Abraham and his descendants, as His chosen people, and His everlasting covenant with them. The Bible continues with how the Jews became established in Israel, and the story of their triumphs, failures, trials and tribulations. The Old Testament (OT) prophets predicted the First Coming of Jesus and the events of His life, death and resurrection. The New Testament (NT) describes how Jesus accurately fulfilled those OT prophecies. The NT provides details about the work of the apostles and disciples in spreading the Gospel, evangelising Gentiles and establishing churches.

At its close, the Bible describes a time of great tribulation, before Jesus returns and satan is defeated.

All the prophecies relating to the First Coming of Jesus were fulfilled. That is miraculous (supernatural) and has huge implications for our appreciation of the many prophecies concerning the Second Coming of Jesus. If the “First Coming” prophecies have been fulfilled, we can be certain that prophecies concerning his Second Coming will also be fulfilled.

The Significance of Israel

One of the key events predicted in both the OT and NT, is the restoration of the Nation of Israel. Jesus said that this would be a sign of the times, i.e., of the End Times, the climax of history. The events surrounding and following the restoration of the Nation of Israel, and the return of the Jewish people to their ancient homeland in 1948, were accurately prophesied in extraordinary detail in many scriptures, written thousands of years before the events took place. In reality, the 1948 restoration was a response to the “never again” cry after the Holocaust. However, it transpires that “never again” did not mean the Jews would never again be persecuted. What it does mean is that the Jews have determined that never again will they be led to their
slaughter like unsuspecting sheep!

The endurance of Jewish customs, practices and traditions, which they maintained whilst scattered throughout the world for nearly nineteen hundred years, is an
incredible phenomenon. It is, quite frankly, a mystery and a miracle that the Jewish people and their national identity survived. Since 1948 they have, with God’s help, successfully defended their Nation from several attacks by seemingly much more
powerful enemies. Now, in 2024, they are again fighting for their survival.

Why Israel Has to Survive

Why has Israel survived, and why must it survive? The answer, in part, to this vital question can be found in the oft neglected NT chapters 9 to 11 of Romans, which focus on the importance of the Jewish people. The author, the Apostle Paul, was himself Jewish and loved the Jewish people, longing for them to see what he had come to understand – that Jesus is the Son of God and their Messiah. He hoped and prayed that the Gentiles in the churches he founded would recognise and understand that the Jewish ancestry of Jesus, and the history of the Nation of Israel, are foundational and essential elements to the Christian faith.

It is to this history and destiny that the Apostle Paul refers in Romans 9-11. Paul points out that the Jewish people are God’s chosen people. They are the nation whom the Father adopted out of His great love. And although Israel appears to have failed to fulfil its destiny, that does not mean that God has in any way decreed that His adoption of Israel is null and void. As far as Paul is concerned, once adopted, always adopted. God has made an everlasting covenant with His people Israel. The church has not replaced Israel.

By God’s grace, Gentile believers in Jesus are like wild olive branches that have been grafted into the cultivated olive tree – a tree made up of faith-filled Israelites since the time of Abraham. Gentile believers are now a part of faithful Israel’s story. Indeed, we cannot and must not separate ourselves from that story.

In this time of grace, the Gentiles can hear and respond to the Good News about Jesus and come to enjoy the blessings of the promises given to Israel, not least the promise of the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Paul speaks about a time when the Jewish people – his own people – will no longer be blinded by their unbelief about Jesus. Vast numbers will see the Deliverer from Zion (Jesus). The veil will be lifted from their understanding and they will then know that Jesus is their Messiah. As Paul prophesies in Romans 11:26: “All Israel will be saved.” Jews will come to believe in Jesus in such numbers that we will be able to say that the nation of Israel as a whole has been saved.

In summary: there is a time-frame in which,

(a) the Gospel is preached primarily to those who are not Jewish “until the full number of the Gentiles has come in”; i.e, until the number of non-Jews who confess Jesus as Lord is complete. That number, and the date when it will be reached, is known only in heaven.

(b) Until that time, there is a remnant of faithful Jews who are chosen by grace (Romans 11:5); these are Jewish people who have chosen, like Paul, to confess that Jesus is Messiah and Lord. When the full number of Gentiles has come in, Paul was certain that circumstances will be such that the Jewish remnant will turn from godlessness and
look upon the one whom they pierced and weep in repentance. There will be a great move of the Holy Spirit among the Jewish people – so great that we will be able to
joyfully declare the fulfilment of the prophecy: “All Israel will be saved!”

The Devil’s Rage

Hopefully you can see why the Jewish people had to survive. In spite of being exiled from the Land that was promised to them by Almighty God, in spite of expulsions
from other alien lands that they inhabited thereafter, in spite of periods of intense and violent persecution in many different places over thousands of years, in spite of the “Final Solution”, the appalling, demonic onslaught of the Holocaust (Hitler’s murder of 6 million Jews, in his attempt to obliterate them), the Jewish people have survived!
And, as already discussed, three years after the end of the Holocaust, part of the Promised Land was miraculously restored to the Jewish people: Israel was re-established as a nation, and Jews have returned from dispersion (the Diaspora).

Why has this enduring vindictiveness been so intense? Because satan knows what the Bible says, albeit he is blinded to the reality that he cannot win. He has been desperate to prevent or postpone the establishment of appropriate (prophesied)
conditions for the Second Coming. That is why the Jewish people have been subjected to sustained attempts by the forces of evil to wipe them out.

How it must torment and anger satan that the Jewish people have, against all the odds, survived his various onslaughts. Furthermore, satan’s seeming successes have proved to be failures. How he must have wailed when Jesus rose from the dead. How he must have wept when Israel was restored as a nation in 1948. And, above all, how he must be howling today as this tiny Nation is so vigorously and effectively responding to demonic atrocities perpetrated by Hamas and built on by Iran and its other proxies.

The End-Game

Satan is now provoking unprecedented world-wide genocidal hatred of the Jews. Many of the world’s leaders, and millions of people supporting the “Palestinian cause”, cannot see, or refuse to accept (are denying the truth), that a fundamental tenet of radical Islam is the destruction of Israel and the extermination of all Jews. Radical and apocalyptic Muslims see “ethnic cleansing” of Jews as a religious duty. Any compromise or appeasement with such blood thirsty and diabolical fanatics, however tempting the short-term gains may appear, would lead to disaster.

Satan is continuing his endeavours to ensure that there is no Nation of Israel to which Jesus can return. Things are getting ever more intense and chaotic, and satan certainly appears to be succeeding in rallying the world against the Jews. However, it is clear from Biblical prophecy that God foreknew the things we are witnessing. He has given us all the information we need to read the “signs of the times” and to stand firm in the knowledge that Victory is assured. Our certain hope is in the truth of the Word of God: He will deal with the enemies that surround Israel (Zechariah 12) and Jesus will return (Matthew 24, Revelation 1 et al), and He will take His throne in Jerusalem, as King of Israel; albeit there will only be a remnant of the Jewish people (Zechariah 13:8-10).

Then “never again” will truly mean NEVER AGAIN

Jesus says “Yes, I am coming soon.”

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Jesus warns of false prophets; End-times sign and the great shaking!

Yet again birthday number 22…add up these time digits 16:06…and note Rachel’s further comment before we consider a reminder of Jesus’ instructions:

“Just like many Kingdoms have been built many will topple over and fall. We not pray for such demise, we rather pray for repentance and restoration.It’s not about this Ministry and that Ministry and who has 25k followers and who has 500. It is this — are you led by God? Do you follow His leading. He does not need perfect vessels. He chooses the ordinary and plain, the broken and those who suffer for His name sake. Polished up cookie cutter is NOT IT. Woke is NOT IT. Compromised is NOT it.

It is those who are led by His Spirit in every faucet of their lives. We know His voice because we are intimate with Him. The days of numbers and and fame, greed and fortune will topple. Let us pray for those caught in the webs of deception and let us pray for hearts to turn back to the Father. ~ Rachel”   [Facebook official timeline]

JESUS’ & PETER’S INSTRUCTIONS 

Do not judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves. For just as you judge and criticize and  condemn others, you will be judged and criticized and condemned, and in accordance with the measure you [use to] deal out to others, it will be dealt out again to you. Why do you [a]stare from without at the [b]very small particle that is in your brother’s eye but do not become aware of and consider the beam [c]of timber that is in your own eye?” (Matthew 7 AMP BibleGateway.com)

1For the time [has arrived] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will [be] the end of those who do not respect or believe or obey the good news (the Gospel) of God? 18 And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the godless and wicked? (1 Peter 4 Amplified Bible)

JESUS FORETELLS FALSE PROPHETS

The Sermon on the MountMatthew 7 (Amplified Bible)

“Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it.

14 But the gate is narrow (contracted [k]by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.

15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.16 You will [l]fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

17 Even so, every healthy (sound) tree bears good fruit [[m]worthy of admiration], but the sickly (decaying, worthless) tree bears bad (worthless) fruit. 18 A good (healthy) tree cannot bear bad (worthless) fruit, nor can a bad (diseased) tree bear [n]excellent fruit [worthy of admiration]. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. 20 Therefore, you will [o]fully know them by their fruits.

21 Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord”, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.

22 Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name?

2And then I will say to them openly (publicly), “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands]”…..”

28 When Jesus had finished these sayings [the Sermon on the Mount], the crowds were astonished and overwhelmed with bewildered wonder at His teaching, 29 For He was teaching as One Who had [and was] authority, and not as [did] the scribes. (Matt 7)

The Olivet Discourse Matthew 24

“And then many will be offended and repelled and will [e]begin to distrust and desert [Him Whom they ought to trust and obey] and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred.

11 And many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error.

12 And the love of [f]the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity, 13 But he who endures to the end will be saved.”….

21 For then there will be great tribulation (affliction, distress, and oppression) such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now—no, and never will be [again]. 22 And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would endure and  survive, but for the sake of the elect (God’s chosen ones) those days will be shortened.

23 If anyone says to you then, Behold, here is the Christ (the Messiah)! or, There He is!—do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive and lead astray, if possible, even the elect (God’s chosen ones). 25 See, I have warned you beforehand.”

Lastly for now, a reminder of the word that got dropped into my mind like a rock over 25 years ago from Hebrews 12 (NKJV):

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 [k]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 [l]may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.

PS. This has been in my mind many days and my intention was for it to draw a line to the matter of recent posts, BUT the Lord is drawing a line with an in-depth revelation that must follow next...

Three-fold GPS on Hebrews 12 great shaking – is it near?

“Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”

Sometime in the closing years of the last Century, as we neared the Third Millennium, at the start of a home group evening I got a nudge to open my Bible to “Hebrews 12” – I’d got familiar with that ‘modus operandi’ of how the Lord gets my attention. I confess to not having been well-acquainted with that book but the verse in red shown above hit me between both eyes!!

I asked those gathered in that lounge if it may be of any importance or significance to them, but nobody responded positively. So I read the whole passage for us to ponder, and reflected upon it later when alone. The New International Version gives its context as follows, courtesy of BibleGateway.com, and certain verses impressed me:

The Mountain of Fear and the Mountain of Joy

18 You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; 19 to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, 20 because they could not bear what was commanded: ‘If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.’[c] 21 The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, ‘I am trembling with fear.’[d]
22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
25 See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from Him who warns us from heaven? 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 The words ‘once more’ indicate the removing of what can be shaken – that is, created things – so that what cannot be shaken may remain!’
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our ‘God is a consuming fire.’

Upon my waking this morning a profound prophecy I read last night was in mind, along with my memory of the above-mentioned private prompting – I’d shared extracts on my blog’s Telegram channel and then this morning penned:

‘GOOD MORN’ FRIENDS, MAY YOUR DAY BE VERY BLESSED. After waking my musing with the Lord returns to late last night and my brief reminder of having been struck by Hebrews 12 Shaking, on which I’ve occasionally blogged, and now note today’s apposite Verse…’

TRULY A GOD-INCIDENTAL CONFIRMATION and, therefore, my friends herein may wish to mediate upon the prophesied Great Shaking before I tell of the Lord’s preceding and subsequent GPS, or Global Prophecy Signals, in the next posts.

PS. Remember LOTS more prophecy-relevant news on above Telegram!

WEF confirms global compliance test, thus validates prophecy – plus a ‘God-incidence’

References:

For newcomers, the first of above references includes not only internationally acclaimed books on the ‘Big Brother’ and on the New World Order’s methodology of introducing the Mark of the Beast, but also my hearing the Lord with confirmation from a prophet and follow-up on its connection with the imposition of masks and cashless society.

Now we catch up with the weekend’s news and how its significance may have been confirmed ‘God-incidentally’….

PrintFriendly versionSubstack source (as below)

Leo launches into his lengthy report by stating,

“I have long said that Covid 19 was launched by design by a small number of people in the globalist predator class for one reason and one reason only — as a beta test for the coming technocratic new world order.

Now, we’ve got the World Economic Forum coming out and all but admitting that was exactly why the Covid-19 “pandemic” had to happen.

The WEF gleefully posted the following snippet to the “My Carbon” page of its website where they make a pitch for so-called smart cities, which is just another term for 15-minute cities….” (continue reading at Substack)

Being a weekend I took some screenshots and hoped to blog Monday. But visiting our local pharmacy I encountered backlog issues and wrote to surgery’s management as well as signing an online Petition to NHS to Save Our Pharmacies (please sign if UK resident). So I mentioned this at the evening’s house group and management by phone app was raised – meaning not only one’s private financial but also confidential medical data is digitally accessible… taking us full circle back to our topic – NWO/WEF control.

SO, I posit to the group::
“Thx for the tips about the phone app; doesn’t it include your digital data onto the global database? The one that mapped your location during lockdown? As well as where, who, when and how you make cashless payments? Isn’t it the same process described in Rev 13:16-18? I wonder…”

“I heard from the Lord four years ago after already having confirmed Cv-19 is “Man-made” (ie a bioweapon) and since validated a couple of dozen times by top leaders.
When he woke me with “MaSk is 1 letter away from maRk” (ie of the Beast)

I understood it to refer to governments’ test-run of public compliance to wearing masks, lockdown and cashless payments. It was unexpectedly confirmed – word for word – by an American prophet whilst speaking about another matter! And now the globalist WEF has validated it.”

‘GOD-INCIDENCE’

Finally, I write “😁 A friend has just put this from an MP on his Telegram, so maybe the Lord’s pointing it out?” Chris Moyler had posted on Telegram this from the outstanding ‘warrior’ Member of Parliament…OH WOTTA COINCIDENCE!!!

“As said last night, I love it when there’s ‘two witness’ confirmation because it establishes a matter/prophecy (Deut 19:15)”

The WEF’s document clearly implies its servitude to satan’s strategy for global demonic control of humanity, as foretold in Revelation chapter 13.

End-times Briefing 22: Derek Prince, ‘Practical Application – You also Must Be ready!’

I happened to come across a single, two-sided loose paper of notes I made during one of the study courses Neil Mackereth convened at Winchester Vineyard church. This is dated 14.11.11 and please bear with the brevity:

DEREK PRINCE: PRACTICAL APPLICATION – YOU ALSO MUST BE READY!

  • End-product of Holy Spirit activity > The Bride
  • End-product of satanic activity > Harlot church

Matt 24:43-44 ‘thief’ – Jesus isn’t one, but comes LIKE one to take what belongs to Him.

Therefore – you also be ready for the unexpected arrival of Jesus (exact timing is God’s secret)

The things revealed we must do and beware of being side-tracked/distracted.

ALL WE NEED TO DO IS TO GET READY & LIVE IN THAT STATE OF ALERTNESS

What is required of us? (from Luke 21:29-31)
  1. ‘when you see’ – recognise (the time we live)
  2. ‘when these things begin to happen’ – look up…
  3. check ourselves – are we too immersed in worldly cares to be detached, not ensnared?
  4. ‘watch and pray always’ (not come to a finish) Stay alert in order to be worthy of escaping.

Rev 19 – The Bride – vv 7-8 has made herself ready.

Her garment of righteousness is not imputed by Jesus own righteousness but by our acts of righteousness ! These need to have been fulfilled not only individually but also corporately, especially (Matt 24:14) to proclaim the Gospel. IT IS THE SIGN LEADING TO JESUS’ RETURN (50% of most unreached nations are Muslim)

Matt 24:45-51 is about pastoral ministry an dits reward from God BUT any who think/speak of delay of Jesus’ return and become indolent WILL miss out and forfeit any reward.

vv9-13 declare the increasing difficulties making for that delay

v2 is of Gospel (Psaalm 45) and has to be ahead of the other 3 because we have a short time.

Rev 6 Horsemen (of The Apocalypse) indicate earthly woes; v 4 is that of civil war (including bloodshed); v 6 tremendous luxury in midst of poverty; v8 satanic powers killing spiritually and spiritually

End-times Briefing 17 cont’d: global warming debunked by real weather

Reference > Briefing 17: Climate is not changing, God is moving


Meteorologist Ryan Maue has offered his take on why tropical development activity remains depressed (emphasis RB):

“The Atlantic tropics are completely broken, unable to produce tropical storms even w/off the charts “climate fueled” oceans. Our models no longer work, forecasters can’t figure it out. This is not normal.”


https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/atlantic-tropics-are-completely-broken

The article’s referring to Saharan dust clouds affecting the North East Atlantic possibly explains our non-existent Summer in Britain with lots of cloud and rain. I can count on one hand the number of consecutive days of warm sunshine.) It also refers the effects of the ‘massive submarine Hunga Tonga volcano’ eruption in 2022 emitting 40 billion gallons of water into the stratosphere with consequential +0.85 deg Centigrade spike.

I note Tyler Durden’s closing remark (emphsis mine):

“Why do leftist corporate media outlets refuse to even acknowledge the Tonga volcano as a possible driver in the recent tick-up in global warming?  It’s probably because it doesn’t align with the narrative that human-produced carbon dioxide drives climate change.”

PS to Strong Warning to Britain and our clergy and politicians

Trevor Misian’s above closing sentence reads:

“It reminds of the demons who begged Jesus to send them into the pigs, which then ran into the sea and drowned! The church isn’t just falling away, but catapulting itself into the abyss!”

I comment:

“Significant 22 hours in only now noticing this after reading the WARNING upon its posting this morn’. Being heretical CoE has forfeited blessings of being in the ekklesia, ie the Bride of Christ.”

My last remark is not only regarding churches demonic falling away from and twisting  proper scriptural teaching – and consequential heresy – but also changing descriptive title of being ‘church’ to ‘community’ is a full-blown official declaration of identity!

Thus, stating they’re no longer part of the holy body of Christ – hence, fully apostate!

‘God-incidental’ The Day of the Lord – 2024 – Chris G Bennett (GPS 108)

God-incidentally these two items popped up on the same day Henry Falcone in Florida posted the previous item but of which I was unaware. Being a Sunday I only had time to share onto my Telegram’s Prophecy Validations these from Tomi in Texas and Chris in Rotherham:

THE DAY OF THE LORD – 2024

Originally from seven or eight years ago but, at The LORD’s bidding, for NOW!

“On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. “ Zechariah 14:4.

The LORD took me to this verse today and said to me, “Just as on the day of the coming of The LORD — a split — a dividing will occur, so in the coming days a great split will come to the people of My Church.

Also just as My Word tells of a great river coming out of Jerusalem on that day, so a great river of living water will flow from The Remnant of My Church. (Zechariah 14:8.)

Finally, just as, on that day My Word describes a day of neither sunlight nor cold but a unique day, so there is coming a day to My Church, when neither daylight nor darkness shall be seen, but a day without wind or rain, without sunlight or midnight, a day of waiting before My Throne. (Zechariah 14:6-7).

I shall do this as a sign to my people that the Day of The LORD is at hand! “ says The LORD.

I asked how this day without sunlight could come just to The Church.

“Call a Solemn Assembly for the purpose of waiting upon Me,” said The LORD.

“I will send My Spirit and My Glory into that meeting and you shall know no time, nor place ,nor daylight nor darkness.

In that meeting you shall know only My Presence and My Glory.
You shall come out of that day shining as did Moses when he had been in My presence on Mount Sinai.

This shall then act as a sign both for My People and those still lost.”

I asked about timing and The LORD simply replied, “Soon — go — prepare yourselves and I will call you.”

I asked, “Just one meeting, LORD?” and He replied, “In every Church that will do so.”

Now, I had to question, why me? Why not a well known, respected prophet?

The LORD replied, If not you — who?
If not now — when?
If not there where you are — where?
My ways, My thoughts, My choices — they are not yours.
I will use whomever I will use — what is it to you?
Go tell My people what I have asked you to tell them!”

At this point I was swept up in His love for me, for you, for His creation.

I offer this Word to you all, humbled and amazed at The LORD’s kindness and grace to me, like you, a broken vessel.

Precedence and Protocol of Prophecies

End-times Briefing 19.3: ‘coincidental’ three signs – massive solar flare says ‘NOAA’

Then He said to them, And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”
(Luke 21:10-11, 25-26)
So we continue this briefing to ‘Signs in the sun’ and consequential earthly effects for the weekend of 10-12th May announced by – of all people! – a government department seemingly named after the ancient patriarch Noah (Hebrew ‘Nch‘ – Interlinear Gen 6:8) :

INTRIGUING WORD-REFLEX >> “DAYS OF NOAH” > “NOAA WARNS”

‘NOAA’ is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration how fitting in regards to the forty days and nights of continual rains God released to bring the Great Flood from which He protected Noah and family in the Ark built under His instruction (Genesis 6-8)!!!

Note ‘coincidental’ juxta-positioning with news on UN/USA’s dealings with Israel:
