Bible Update: Luke 21:25 “And there will be signs in the sun…”

Thank you to ReadyToWorship for this link to SPACE: Sun Vortex-poles with lead photo by NASA and extract below (emphases RB):

A huge filament of solar plasma has broken off the sun’s surface and is circling its north pole like a vortex of powerful winds, but scientists have no clue what caused it.

“Talk about polar vortex! Material from a northern prominence just broke away from the main filament & is now circulating in a massive polar vortex around the north pole of our star,” space weather forecaster Tamitha Skov said on Twitter while sharing a video sequence taken by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory showing the odd whirlwind. “Implications for understanding the sun’s atmospheric dynamics above 55° here cannot be overstated!”

Other solar physicists shared Skov’s excitement about the unusual phenomenon. But what exactly is it and why is it important?

…The European Space Agency Solar Orbiter mission may shed some light on this odd phenomenon in the coming years. The mission, which is taking images of the sun from within the orbit of Mercury, will have its orbit tilted by up to 33 degrees. McIntosh thinks that might not be enough to crack the mystery of the polar vortex. Scientists might need a completely new mission to do that….’

We know Who foretold doing this, as doctor Luke in chapter 21 of his gospel account  quotes Jesus saying:

The Coming of the Son of Man

“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; 26 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. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

4 – Structure of the Book of Revelation, and conclusion

Continued from part 3:.

STRUCTURE OF THE REVELATION

 “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.  18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. 19 Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.  (Rev 1:17-19 NKJV)

  • The Present:
  • chpt 1. Vision of the Son of Man, the one ascended Lord
  • chpt 2-3. Letters to seven churches (and for all churches)
  • chpt 4-5. Vision of heaven, the Lion of Judah and the Lamb
  • The Near Future:
  • chpt 6-11. Judgments, great tribulation, martyrs and two witnesses
  • chpt 12-16. Woman, child, dragon, beast 666, antichrist, false prophet
  • chpt 17-19. Fall of Babylon, Messianic judgement of Armageddon
  • THE RETURN OF ‘THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS’ 
  • The Far Future:
  • chpt 20. The Millennium, Satan rebels/defeated, Judgement, lake of fire
  • chpt 21. New heaven and new earth, the Bride, the New Jerusalem
  • chpt 22. River of Life from God’s throne, Tree of Life for healing the nations.

David Pawson explains that each future period has bad news and things get much worse, but the good news is that things will get very much better afterwards. Through it all Jesus encourages his people to ‘endure’ and ‘overcome’ until He returns.

“First, Jesus tells the churches they must deal with internal problems if they are to face external pressures. Compromise in belief of behaviour, tolerance of idolatry or immorality, weaken the Church from within. (LESSON FOR TODAY!)”

For the 2nd period He shows the worst that can happen but believers will not have to go through anything worse! “And the very worst time ahead will be at most a few years”.

Then, Jesus reveals the wonders that will follow in the 3rd period when all believers will be with Him.

CONCLUSION

On a personal note, what impresses me is the comparison of this closing book with the Bible’s first book, Genesis.

Revelation promises a full restoration not only for those who believe in God, to life with Him, but also and because of that for the earth too.

The Tree of Life is a main feature in the garden of Eden, in the beginning, but through it Satan perverted Adam and Eve’s relationship with their fatherly Creator and so they lost and fell from their glory. In the end that usurper gets his just desserts, the saved return to living in the glory of God in the New Jerusalem and the Tree’s leaves bring healing to all people, as it is written.:

But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honour into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it. 27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. (Revelation 21 NKJV)

3 – Different understandings of The Book of Revelation

Continued from part 2:

INTERPRETATIONS OF THE REVELATION 

Thus, this complex ‘end-times’ revelation can only be understood with God’s overall purpose for humanity in mind. So, it’s not surprising that scholars are divided over the Book’s meaning and predictions for the end of 1st Century and any later events it may forecast for the world and the Church.

There are five main ‘schools’ of exposition based upon interpretations of when these predictions would be fulfilled, as below:

  • Preterist  – during the first centuries AD with the decline/fall of Roman Empire
  • Historicist – all centuries between the First and Second Advent of Jesus Christ
  • Futurist – end of final century AD (held by early Church and evangelical today)
  • Dispensational – (newest) separate timescales apply to the Church and Israel
  • Symbolic – of spiritual truths, no particular time (some say its spiritual ‘myth’).

Moreover, in ‘Dealing With “Last Things” – The Rapture, Second Coming, Millennium’ my New Spirit-Filled Life Study Bible not only provides a useful summary with charts but also shows EIGHT differing scholarly viewpoints, citing The Last Days Handbook, 1990, by Robert P Lightener, viz:

  1. Saint Augustine’s Amillenial View
  2. A Second Amillennial View (BB Warfield)
  3. Pre-Millennial Pre-Tribulational View
  4. Pre-Millennial Post-Tribulational View
  5. Pre-Millennial Mid-Tribulational View
  6. Pre-Millennial Pre-Tribulational Partial Rapture View
  7. Pre-Millennial Pre-Wrath Rapture View
  8. Evangelical Post-Millenial View

We can now appreciate Hank Hanegraaff’s ‘preterist’ position that Revelation refers only to John’s days 1900 years ago and the persecutions that took place. But he fails to take the whole account into consideration because its closing chapters clearly refer to things that have not YET happened. For example, unprecedented global catastrophes, return of millions of deceased Christians alongside Jesus to overthrow Satan and rule upon earth, Satan’s final rebellion with many nations and demise in the lake of fire, the arrival of the ‘holy city’ and ‘wedding of the Lamb’!

So how are we to understand The Apocalypse? David Pawson suggests using the four main ‘schools’  in conjunction for each of the three main time periods, the present, the near future and the far future (not ignoring the switching between earth and heaven) – yet,

“..the fundamental question is not ‘when?’ but WHY?”

David answers his question:

“Not just to tell us what is going to happen but to get us ready for what is going to happen…Revelation is a ‘manual for martyrdom’…which is why this book becomes so meaningful to Christians under persecution. Maybe this is also why Western Christians in comfortable churches fail to find it relevant.”

2 – A very brief introduction to the Book of Revelation

Continued from part 1, which closes: ‘In fact, some believers disregard prophecy and scholars have various opinions upon this topic and when, if at all, predicted events will occur.  Also, are such things to be taken figuratively?’

The widest divergence in opinion is over the Bible’s closing book – ‘The Apocalypse’, or ‘Book of Revelation’.  In its original Greek this Book begins as follows.:

‘Apocalupsis iEsou christou…’

‘The unveiling of Jesus Christ (anointed one)’, per Scripture 4 All Greek Interlinear Bible, or as the New King James Version translates it:

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants — things which must shortly take place.

[Greek: ‘what which IS-BINDING must TO-BE-BECOMING to-be-occurring IN SWIFTness’] And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John,  who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. (Revelation 1)

John is thought to have been the closest disciple of Jesus, and could thereby personally attest to Jesus’ awesome origin, as in the first of three short letters to believers:

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life—the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us(1 John 1)

The Apocalypse opens by stating its purpose: an unveiling of God’s plans that He gave to Jesus Christ, for sharing through his surviving first disciple several decades after he witnessed Jesus’ resurrection from death. This account tells how John acquired this information. He became Jesus’ amanuensis in writing exactly what Jesus dictated as personal letters to seven churches in Asia as a result of His having visited them.

NOTE: verse 1’s ‘shortly’ doesn’t necessarily imply ‘soon’ but may mean that when these events that MUST occur do happen, then they will do so very rapidly!!

White Door in SkyNext, John was caught up to God’s Throne Room in heaven where he heard and saw visions about what was going to happen shortly and in the distant future when the Age will be drawn to a close with the bodily return of Jesus Christ to rule and reign upon earth. John had to be reminded to write it all down!

NB: It is the only Book in the Bible to open with a blessing for all who read it and ‘keep’, or observe, what’s written therein, and closes with a curse (of loss of inheritance in the Kingdom) for anyone who tampers with its text and changes its message. The Book of Revelation is primarily for believers, not unbelievers.

In Unlocking The Bible, David Pawson defines this genre of literature as follows:

Unlocking The Bible‘Apocalyptic’ is history written from God’s point of view.  It gives the total picture.  It enlarges our understanding of world events by seeing them in the light of what is above and beyond our limited perception.  This gives us both insight and foresight…far beyond that of the normal historian.

He also gives this snippet:

God is working out his plans and purposes within time…He is the Lord of History.  But it is his pattern, which can only be discerned when he has revealed the missing pieces of the jigsaw. (Emphasis added)

(Now where did we come across that notion before?  See Invisible Jigsaw.)

He points out that the first characteristic of the ‘apocalyptic’ genre is that it’s basically moral. Secondly, that it’s often symbolical so the unknown can be communicated in terms of what is familiar, as in analogy or parable, because it involves not only information but also imagination.

Prophecy and interpreting ‘The Apocalypse’ – The Book of Revelation – 1 of 4

Published 27 June 2013 as Note on Christian Prophecy and The Apocalypse about scholars’ differences on prophetic scripture, this is now separated for ease of reading :

Digging into the difference of opinion noted in the Joel Rosenberg re-post unearthed an interesting find – one connecting into what I wrote ten weeks earlier about the origin of this blog. I’ll say more about that later.

Some readers may have queried my covering comment to Joel’s post; (it) “includes opinions of a Bible teacher who thinks its prophecies have happened.  This merely reflects the actual content of The Blaze interviews.

As Hank Hanegraaff’s online radio show is called ‘Bible Answer Man’, my remark may seem to question that title. Those reading the linked article would note journalist Billy Holloway’s statement that Hanegraaff has “a wildly different take on the matter” to that of Rosenberg for he, “rejected the notion that Revelation and other alleged prophecies apply to today’s world”.

How come? Aren’t both men Christians? A little elucidation is called for…

Doubtless both men meet the basic criterion for a born-again believer, as in the Spirit-inspired instruction of the apostles Paul and John:

if you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. (Chapter 10 of Paul’s letter to the Romans; New International Version)

16 For God so loved the world (that’s you, my reader) that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (Chpt 3 of the Gospel according to John; NIV)

So, to have faith in Christ it isn’t absolutely necessary to believe everything in the Bible. In fact, some believers disregard prophecy and scholars have various opinions upon this topic and when, if at all, predicted events will occur.  Also, are such things to be taken figuratively?

Revelation Dream – Tony Puccio

Tony in Arizona brings a most suitable scripture and related vision applicable to the global situation…

Tony's avatarMy Dreams and Visions

13Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.14But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.15So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.16But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth Revelation 12:13-16

In this night vision I saw a church with an illuminated white cross in front of it. Upon entering the building I saw the congregation facing towards the door…

The Rapture: a Roman ruse or real prophecy?

If you took time out to dip into the debate on Chris Bennett’s asking “What if the Rapture and Return are one and the same event?” you’ll have found in one day it’s scored over 100 contributions on his Facebook (and just over a dozen on mine).

It’s important to be absolutely clear about this topic in view of a couple of links on Chris’ thread referring to the ‘secret rapture doctrine’ made popular two hundred years ago by John Nelson Darby, of the early Plymouth Brethren, and to the bestselling ‘Left Behind’ books of 1990s and 2014 movie.

Moreover, we’re well aware that very many have written on End-times as though “The End Is Nigh!” – but in all honesty, we can no longer ignore global indications that we are truly living in the times foretold in the holy Bible.

We ARE fast approaching ‘The Day of the LORD’!  Now back to the debate:

The opening gambit of this item below is wrong because The Rapture is part and parcel of Orthodox, Catholic and Reformed churches’ teaching (article is of historical interest):

So, now let’s check our New Spirit-Filled Life study Bible’s notes on chapter 4 verse 17 of Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonian church. It explains why ‘the exact word ‘rapture’ does not occur in Scripture’ and its ancient origin:
Next, check my boxed Bible received from my Godmother on my 12th birthday – the  Douai-Challoner translation from the Vulgate, ie authoritative Latin Bible translated late 4th Century by St Jerome. It refers to being ‘caught up’:

Bible Study Tools is provides the Vulgate’s Latin text with translation and commentary:

Thus, it strongly implies the ‘Rapture’ – our being grasped/snatched – will be all believers’ personal Resurrection and Ascension – all at once!

Selah!

Scripture & vision double witness command ‘Watch for signs’! (GPS 93)

A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. (Deuteronomy 19:15  NKJV)

Upon waking in the night it ‘dawned’ upon me that both independent items I posted  yesterday ‘coincidentally’ command, “Watch!” – for signs of Jesus’ Return!

Mine revisited my first email citing the End-times parable of the wheat and poisonous weeds (darnel) and my hearing “This is All about to be fulfilled” and quoted Jesus’ reiterated instructions to “Watch”.

The other. a vision given to Chris G Bennett (of Jesus returning to Jerusalem) closes, “Watch and see and rejoice as I move!” says The LORD. “Watch and see!”

Note however, that although I’d spotted and captured his header/image on Facebook I didn’t get around to reading it in full until copy-pasting from His Kingdom Prophecy, as this is much easier method for editorial purposes on this blog’s WordPress than Fbk.

So later in the day Chris posted the following (tap/click here to read discussion) and I shared it on mine with comments, some of which are below:

Selah !

A God-incidence! Jerusalem Return – Chris G Bennett

WOW WOTTA GOD-INCIDENCE Thank You Lord for this is what I saw first when opening my phone’s Facebook earlier this morning, and CONFIRMS what I believe the Lord told me to revisit my first writing on the End-times, as in previous post:

As published at His Kingdom Prophecy

JERUSALEM RETURN

I’ve shared this before — but it seems particularly relevant this year!

I had this Vision years ago, at least 15, maybe 20 plus and I resurrected it in 2018.  Now The LORD has caused me to focus on it once again.

I just saw Jesus returning from heaven to Jerusalem!

Let me start from the beginning.  I saw Israel begin to build The Third Temple, on Temple Mount, having cleared away everything of Islam from the site.

I saw no mosque, nothing but a large flat tract of land.  I knew immediately that this was Temple Mount.

I saw builders move in and they were just like Nehemiah’s wall builders — they carried tools in one hand and rifles in the other.

Just then I saw War break out.  Missiles rained in from everywhere, but they were exploded high in the air by God, or by Israel using their ‘iron dome’ defence system.

This went on for a while and, while there was damage to the city, most of it remained in place, unscathed.

Then I saw the nuclear fallout cloud.  As it started to settle on Israel a wind blew up from the Mediterranean Sea and carried the cloud off to cover all the lands surrounding and attacking Israel!

Just as this was happening, I saw Him.  I saw a very bright column of light descending through the clouds.

There in the middle stood Jesus — returning to the Mount of Olives.  Looking as described in Revelation, He came down to earth, the returning Messiah King.

I wanted to weep for joy but I couldn’t, and I have to remind myself that, if we are taken in the Rapture, then we we will not be here for the second coming!

All I remember in this Vision was shouting His Name at the top of my voice — along with many who appeared around me.

Oh the peace that fell at that moment!  As Jesus stepped onto earth, simultaneously every knee bowed and every head bowed too.

Then the hosts of heaven started singing their praises to the King of Kings. It will be a glorious cacophony!

Wow, all I can say is WOW and hallelujah \o/

I truly believe we are going to see these things sometime quite soon, maybe within a few years.  I truly believe that first, starting about now, there will be revival sweeping through The United Kingdom, Western Europe, and America particularly.

Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America won’t miss out.

My heart is just full this morning — joy, hope, love, but mostly Jesus.  I believe this has already started in America, but it has yet to start in Europe.

It has certainly started in the East — particularly China, Afghanistan, and Iran.

After Revival comes the Rapture, then Antichrist and Tribulation, then the second Coming followed by the millennial reign.  Oh the joy to come – hallelujah \o/

I feel the heavens rumbling directly overhead as the Army of The LORD positions itself ready.  There is real revival coming to The United Kingdom, and even to Rotherham where I live — another dark and lost place that needs The LORD so badly, so desperately, right now!  This real Revival is spreading all over America too.

Sometimes, The LORD lifts me high above the world to see what He is really showing me.

This morning, I see a map of both sides of the North Atlantic.  As I watch, I see a scythe, an old-fashioned scythe, sweep across The United Kingdom, Europe, across the Atlantic, and through America — starting on the East Coast and moving Westwards like the pioneers of old.

Such power as I have never seen and have not the words to describe.

SWEEPING through Europe and America carrying all before it.  Wave after wave certainly, but that first wave – oh my!  Such power and authority – such signs, wonders, and miracles.

“Watch and see and rejoice as I move! says The LORD. “Watch and see!”

Just as Jesus Christ prophesied, USA now brings End-times into our days

Yes, as J Biden said yesterday in signing away his personal stance ‘on the dotted line’ as a president of the United States of America, the law brought into effect “law matters to every single American”. Moreover, in brazenly defying Biblical and Catholic teaching his action involves EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE WORLD, just as Jesus Christ Himself foretold about the days preceding His Return in Glory. SO, GET READY …!!!

Now first things first (and sandwich-style!), the Holy Word of God:

IT IS WRITTEN” (Luke 17 NKJV):

The Coming of the Kingdom

20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, [f]‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is [g]within you.”
22 Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, [h]‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them. 24 For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. 25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed….”

YES GOD IS LOVE, BUT HE ORDAINS HOW WE SHOULD LIVE:

A REMINDER OF THE DEADLY SIN OF SODOM: (Genesis 19, NKJV)

Sodom’s Depravity

19 Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. 2 And he said, “Here now, my lords, please turn in to your servant’s house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way.” And they said, “No, but we will spend the night in the open square.”

3 But he insisted strongly; so they turned in to him and entered his house. Then he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.”…

Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed

12 Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city—take them out of this place! 13 For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”
14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, “Get up, get out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city!” But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking…

HOW AND WHY HUMAN SEXES WERE MADE (Genesis 2 NKJV):
23 And Adam said:

“This is now bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called [i]Woman,
Because she was taken out of [j]Man.”

24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be[k] joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Rabbinic tradition cites the wickedness of Noah’s days in which God deeply regretted making humanity because our depravity (Gen 6:5 translinear Hebrew) arose from not only fallen angels interbreeding with women but also by state-sanctioned same-sex marriage!

Is Bible prophecy of ‘666 Mark’ being fulfilled in Britain – or just coincidental?

This is a most sensitive matter and I ask my readers to weigh and pray accordingly with the Lord Jesus Christ, for we are considering serious spiritual matters not the outward and inward characteristics and relationships of people for we are referring to principles in the Holy Bible and Kingdom of Almighty God:

This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[e] That number is 666. [Revelation 13:18, NJKV]

Further to previous post Bible Update: Revelation 13:16-17 Up and Running in China, which displays this screenshot from my Telegram channel of yesterday’s prophecy-related news, which subsequently shows the following items:

A PRAYER FOR PM
Lord, would you reveal yourself to our new Prime mInister In your full identity as Son of the One Living God and Lord of Lords, convict him of his sin and his need of Your saving grace. May he thereby, serve to encourage others to search for and come to One who is The Way, The Truth and the Life and into Father’s eternal Kingdom.

REVELATION CHAPTER 13:

British Man Becomes First to Get Microchipped with Bank Card

Bible Update: Revelation 13:16-17 up and running in China

Here’s the Word of the Living Lord God on this, as foreseen by Apostle John:

The Beast out of the Earth

11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

ALERT: New Zealand PM calls for Global Censorship System — Jonathan Turley

C-Span screenshot

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is the latest liberal leader to call for an international alliance to censor speech.

Unsatisfied with the unprecedented corporate censorship of social media companies, leaders like Hillary Clinton have turned from private censorship to good old-fashioned state censorship. Speech regulation has become an article of faith on the left. Ardern used her speech this week to the United Nations General Assembly to call for censorship on a global scale.

Ardern lashed out at “disinformation” and called for a global coalition to control speech. After nodding toward free speech, she proceeded to lay out a plan for its demise through government regulation:…” (…continue at…) New Zealand Prime Minister Calls for a Global Censorship System — JONATHAN TURLEY

“They are scrambling after these Supreme Court rulings that just came forth. They are plotting and scheming to take out two Supreme Court justices, but I am turning the tables and I will remove the ones that I have chosen to remove…”

“…why am I the Lord God addressing these two women? (Pelosi & Harris) says the Lord: “Because they are in the number two and the number three position behind Biden – who is no more!”

(According to Robin D Bullock and Roger Stone the one running the show from the basement is Obama!)

WEF’s Intentions Hidden in Plain Sight – Conclusion

CONCLUSION – THE FINAL REVIVAL

I am absolutely convinced that shortly before the return of Jesus there will be a great awakening. I believe “There before me was a great multitude that no-one could count ………. in front of the Lamb” and “these are they who have come out of the great tribulation” Revelation 7:9 and 14, confirms that view. We cannot, and should not seek to, stop the establishment of a new world order.

However, recognising, explaining and broadcasting the method by which prophecy is being fulfilled, will aid evangelism. We can pray that the maximum number of people will hear and understand what the information means. Let us pray for, and be involved in, the completion of the Great Commission. Amen.

WEF’s Intentions Hidden in Plain Sight – Neil Mackereth

Here, my long-time friend and teacher on End-times Neil Mackereth assesses the WEF aspects relating to a possible (probable?) “new world order” government. It comes with several links and for those who are short of time the last is a “must watch” (approx 14 mins). Those under ‘The Fourth Industrial Revolution’ are the next most important. Your attention is drawn to Neil’s clear conclusion and I trust his briefing brings a number of deep concerns into the Light:

THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM

Intentions Hidden in Plain Sight

BACKGROUND

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a non-governmental international organization for public-private cooperation, founded by German economist and engineer, Klaus Schwab, in 1971. ( https://www.weforum.org/about/world-economic-forum )

The WEF has an annual conference in Davos which attracts national leaders, high profile politicians, billionaire philanthropists, international financiers, and the corporate heads and senior executives of national and multi-national commercial enterprises.

Klaus Schwab opened this year’s conference with the statement: Continue reading

What is the Book of Revelation for? Part 5 – Neil Mackereth

Our dear friend Neil writes,

‘Dear Richard, At last I have managed to finish part 5 of the study articles on Revelation. One of those cases where making it short is far more difficult than writing it as a tome!! At one stage it was 19 pages, so I changed the whole approach. It can’t be long now before the New World Order reveals its plans in a way that leaves nothing to the imagination – we couldn’t live in more exciting and what are more clearly “end-times”.’

Indeed!  Also, in our chat over Rev 22:20 I mention some translations state ‘soon’, whereas literal Greek has ‘quickly’, which implies suddenly. Neil reminds me he writes  in ‘SIGNS’ of ‘soon’ in Rev 1:1 often being translated as meaning events will take place over a short period of time, rather than our concept of ‘soon’.  So, I propose scheduling this last part for publishing at 11th minute of 11th hour of 11th day of June 2022!

To my ploy Neil replies, “11th hour on the 11th sounds significant/appropriate in light of recent comments on the Battle for Britain, changing of the guard, Big Ben’s imminent recommencement of regular chiming, the quickening (exponential) pace of prophetic end times indicators (wars and rumours of wars) etc, etc. Time is short!”   (American prophet Robin D Bullock goes live at The 11th Hour every Tuesday – RB’s note.)

WHAT IS THE BOOK OF REVELATION FOR? – Part 5: CHAPTERS 19-22

A Digression

I start this section with something of a digression, relating to the whole of the Book of Revelation. At Revelation 19:10 it says: “For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”. For ease of reading, I have tried to avoid too much cross-referencing in these articles. Nevertheless, the whole of Revelation is interwoven with links back to scripture in general, and to the prophetic scriptures in particular, from both the old and new testaments. The Old Testament records the creation of the world, the selection of God’s chosen people Israel, their successes, failures, trials and tribulations, the restoration of Israel after exile, and all things prior to the first advent of Jesus. The New Testament adds the prophecies of the disciples and, in particular, of Jesus in Matthew 24 & 25. These themes and prophecies are picked up in Revelation. Some suggest that the whole Bible could be studied from Revelation, using it as the basis for a form of reverse analysis of scripture (not for the faint-hearted!).
