Psalm 2 – Ask for the nations and watch what the Lord does! (Full circle: 46)

Blogging plans as catch-up after birthday and anniversary got overturned as go into 46th full circle!

In reprise of pre-blog email dated 16.2.2011 entitled Ask for the Nations, here’s the full psalm as an introduction to the republished post (next):

PSALM 2 – THE MESSIAH’S TRIUMPH AND THE KINGDOM

Why do the [a]nations [b]rage,
And the people plot a [c]vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His Anointed,[d] saying,
3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”

4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have [e]set My King
[f]On My holy hill of Zion.”

7 “I will declare the [g]decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall [h]break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 [i]Kiss the Son, lest [j]He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

Triple validation of my life-changing Visitation

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

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

Grounded flights is God’s warning to anti-Israel UK + headline echo of Zecharia 12!

TUESDAY’S ‘GOD-INCIDENCE” SHOWS GOD IS NOT MOCKED OVER UK PRIME MINISTER’s & FOREIGN SECRETARY’s CRAZY ANTI-ISRAEL SANCTIONS!

To those who discern the times there’s absolutely no doubt the Almighty is rebuking these crazy politicos who are kowtowing to sub-human terrorists and muslim voters!

In this video grab taken from footage broadcast by the UK Parliamentary Recording Unit (PRU) via the Parliament TV website in the House of Commons on September 8, 2026, Britain’s Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband delivers a speech on an import ban of goods from West Bank settlements. (PRU/AFP)

https://www.timesofisrael.com/denouncing-ethnic-cleansing-in-west-bank-uk-announces-trade-ban-with-settlements/

The above is from Koenig’s World Watch Daily and here’s a screen shot later in the same day of UK headlines – :

PS insert (13:03): UK and other nations are going to restrict trade with Israel. Consequently, our traffic gets grounded; tit-for-tat !

Here’s what I read Tuesday night…

‘More than 330,000 people’s journeys were thrown into chaos by a computer system failure, according to trade body Airlines UK, with 2,100 flights cancelled.

The Transport Secretary said the flight processing system failure was avoidable, raising further questions about the future of Martin Rolfe, the chief executive of the air traffic control body Nats.

Cancellations and delays continued into Wednesday as airlines dealt with knock-on impacts at airports including Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester and Stansted.”

Now the primal scripture that jumps to mind is the Lord’s admonition to bless the Hebrew descendants of Abraham, or else earn His wrath as stated at Genesis 12.3 (Amplified Bible – emphasis mine):

‘Now [in Haran] the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.

2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].

3 And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and[a]curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed’ [and by you they will bless themselves].

[Footnote [a]> To look with disfavor on the Jews was to invite God’s displeasure; to treat the Jews offensively was to incur His wrath. But to befriend the Jews was to bring down upon one’s head the rewards of a promise that could not be broken.]

OTHER EVENTS ECHO BIBLE PROPHECY!

This report, headline as above, reminds me of Old Testament prophet Zecharia’s warnings of the far future, as cited below:

‘On the dusty, sun-parched hills just to the north-east of Jerusalem, Britain’s relationship with Israel has reached its nadir. The proposed E1 housing development has a good claim to be the most controversial planning application in the world.

For the British Government, as for much of the international community, E1 is unconscionable because it “would endanger the viability of a two-state solution”.

Although there are debates about potential bypass roads for non-Israelis, the development would essentially cut the Palestinian urban heartland in the West Bank in two by severing the city of Ramallah to the north from Jerusalem’s eastern suburbs and the city of Bethlehem to the south….’

ZECHARIA 12 – New King James Version

The Coming Deliverance of Judah

12 The [a]burden of the word of the Lord against Israel. Thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him: 2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of [b]drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. 3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. 4 In that day,” says the Lord, “I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. 5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the Lord of hosts, their God.’ 6 In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place—Jerusalem.

7 “The Lord will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah. 8 In that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the Lord before them. 9 It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.’

Next, we’ll look at ‘ne-plus ultra’ Caroline Glick’s reaction (fyi previous posts).

The Prophetic Clock – a prophet’s explanation, Veronika West

We now examine a novel topic introduced to me 40 years ago as a non-Christian ‘New Ager’, ie. the profound truth of Bible prophecy before I became ‘born-again’, and which takes this blog and myself into our 45th full circle.

The details will follow later, but now let’s carefully study over the weekend our sister Veronika West’s excellent exposition about how our Lord, whom I regard as ‘ALWAYS NOW’, acts as THE Time Lord. Hence, Time and its operations often feature in this blog. (Read many comments on her Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook.)

MY PROPHETS ARE CALLED TO ACCURATELY DISCERN, DECLARE AND MARK THE TIMES AND SEASONS

So yesterday (Thursday, the 3rd day of September), during my time of Prayer, I literally saw what looked like an Ancient Clock on the inside of me and I could hear a clear and distinct sound of “Ticking!”

1st September Serendipity by GPS: call to God’s tent – 2 of 2 (Peter Russell-Yarde)

Earlier on Tuesday 1st September, at 7:59, prolific author Peter Russell-Yarde, whose writings have featured on this blog messaged me about the Lord giving him a wonderful marketing guru. He writes to me,

“The title of the book was effectively chosen by Rabbi Aaron for he asked me to write on the tent of the meeting. It was a tent where man met with God because first Moses and then successive high priests met with God in the holy of holies.”

SO, now on the third day:

It is described on Amazon UK as follows:

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

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

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

It details how the design of the tabernacle and its services were meant to bring the Jews into an intimate and spiritual relationship with their God. The arrival of the Messiah, His life, teaching and cruel death was all foretold in its design.
This book is a revelation of truth providing the seeker after truth with more answers than questions. The rabbi who commissioned the work has describes is as awesome, stressing that it inspired in him both awe and wonder.’

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

1st September Serendipity by GPS: call to return to God – 1 of 2 (Maraiyah Grace)

Digital Globe with Hand by Watcharakun, Freedigitalphotos.net

We know the Lord has His own GPS system of Global Prophecy Signals tied in with ‘God-incidental’ timing, and here’s Maraiyah Grace’s comment at 1:31pm on Tuesday 1st September amongst several on Veronika West’s The Beginning of Sorrows; kairos moments confirmed; note ‘God-incidental’ reference to the Tabernacle, and on Sunday a sister testified at church to hearing angels ringing bells:

“I received a Word of Knowledge regarding Holy Mount Zion becoming a reality through the raising up of His Bride as The LORD calls the lost and the backslidden to return back to His Altar of Tabernacles and to then enter His Holy Mountain.

This Word of Knowledge came in stages as I obeyed His instructions to paint and create this revelation on canvas with semi precious stones. I included the recording of the Words of Knowledge on this Blogpost.

This revelation ties in with the revelation you posted above regarding the Queen’s Jubilee Church Bells and Holy Mount Zion becoming a reality on earth representative of the ruling and reigning Sons of Righteousness. You can find it on this link below [RB: both links provided, and note reference to serendipity!]

You may find occasion to repost it with similar words of knowledge for this time of Shakings and the sifting of the people by The Right Hand of The LORD MOST HIGH GOD.”

Double Reprise 2022: Is Donald Trump for God’s Kingdom? – part 6: Truth Social, Bible prophecy

[Published May & August 2022]

After being challenged in 2020 by my church leader and others on my knowledge ago of President Trump’s personal belief and full-spectrum support of Christians, I began a short series summarising what I’d learned, links to which are in the Footnote.

Whilst in office and subsequently, as you’re doubtless well aware, he was continually maligned by mainstream media and banned from Twitter & Facebook. BUT, note the assiduous work of this exemplar of real, investigative journalism (click here):

Therefore, Trump decided to establish his own platform called Truth Social headed by Devin Nunes and is already on Telegram and Apple, with Android to follow soon.

Is today’s solar eclipse an End-times sign? T.W. Tramm

Many thanks to Martina B for this heads-up to a MUST-READ 5-page briefing, notable for the author’s focus upon timing and location of the totality of tonight’s solar eclipse:

Watcher T.W. Tramm writes, as published on Season of Return Ministries:

‘Look up!
On August 12, a total solar eclipse will darken a path from the Arctic to Spain.

While most people will view the darkened sun as simply an awesome natural spectacle, some prophecy watchers consider it a sign of the end.

Here are seven reasons why:

1. THE PRIMARY SIGN

The most frequently mentioned sign of the Day of the Lord in Scripture is a darkened sun, or total solar eclipse (Rev. 6:12; Joel 2:31; 3:14, 15; Isa. 13:9-10; Matt. 24:29; Mark 13:24; Luke 21:25-27; Acts 2:20, 21; Ezek. 32:8)….

2. MIDNIGHT SUN – 3. EVE OF ELUL – 4.  TWO-MINUTE WARNING – 5.  LEO CONSTELLATION – 6.  SUNSET ECLIPSE – 7.  ENDS OF THE EARTH

Continue reading on Facebook page or PDF version: https://tinyurl.com/y3ctauj5 

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: No one knows the day or hour of Jesus’ return (Matt. 24:36). However, a convergence of biblical signs and timelines suggests that it is near. To escape the judgment reserved for a God-rejecting world, one must know Jesus as Lord and Savior. If you have not yet done so, call on His name and believe that He is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:13).

Prophetic signs in the Strait of Hormuz -Veronika West

Posted Monday 16 March on Veronika’s Ignite Ireland Ministry at 18:55 and I shared at 22:22 on my Facebook, this is as published the next day by His Kingdom Prophecy:

PROPHETIC  SIGNS  IN THE  STRAIT  OF  HORMUZ:

The Watchmen must keep Watching and Praying!

I hear The Spirit say, ”Watch, for The Birthing of a Nation(s) in a Day is at hand!

Watch and Pray — for I AM speaking through Signs, to the Times and to the Season ahead, the Season of the Birthing of a New Golden Era —

  • to a Great Wealth Transfer,
  • to the War for Oil and to the Ancient Wells where Divine Revival and provision flows,
  • to a demonic choke-hold that seeks to destroy the Destiny of Nations (the spirit of Haman / hangman’s noose),
  • to The Spirit of The LORD now moving Nations through The Narrow Places — through the Eye of a Needle,
  • to The Nations of the Earth now Entering into a Divine Window of Time,
  • to Nations in a Time and Season of Constriction and Birthing Contractions in the realm of The Spirit,
  • to Economic and Financial systems and,
  • to Emerging Political Alliances and,
  • to Global trade routes that are now moving into tighter spaces, where decisions and a Divine Distinction of Goat and Sheep Nations will no longer be postponed!

I say watch! Just as Birth comes through a narrow canal, so the pressures now seen among The Nations are part of a great Shaking, Divine Awakening and the Separation of Nations.

Yes! For Pressure precedes Transition!

Listen! Pay Attention! For My Remnant must not only watch the movements of Armies, Ships and Markets — but they must go up higher to discern the deeper Prophetic Patterns and Mysteries that are now emerging.

See! For I AM revealing the Gates of the Earth — those strategic places where Power, Resources and Influence are now beginning to converge and align with Heaven’s Time.

Watch! As the Gates expose the true dependencies of Nations and the fragility of Systems and Structures built without Justice and Righteousness.

I say — look! Watch, for The Strait of Hormuz surely is a Birthing Canal — a narrow place where War — Travail, great Pressure, and passage that signals what is taking place in the Heavenlies, and to what is now being uprooted, torn down, built and established.

And to that which is about to be Birthed and brought forth into the Earth Realm, Watch!

Again I say — for there are Signs that speak to the Times!

Just as the Strait of Hormuz is a Narrow Gate and a Divine Connection point (VAV) through which the Economic lifeblood of Nations must pass.

So, The Nations are now being driven into a Spiritual Choke-hold where the powers of the prince of Persia and the Ancient Empire Spirits War in the Heavens over the Great Wealth Transfer Coming to the Nations!”

See the Prophetic Parallels and Patterns…

  • Genesis 26 (2026) — the conflict over Isaac’s Wells….
  • Joel 3 — Nations gathering in the Valley of Decision….
  • Prophetic Pattern — Strategic locations will become Prophetic pressure points where global tensions will converge….
  • Marine Spirits: Daniel 7 — Empires rise out of the great sea….
  • Revelation 13 — the Beast rises out of the sea….
  • Prophetic Pattern; The Waters — Great turbulence among Nations — The Seas… where chaotic powers emerge and War!
  • Daniel 9 — Stitch in Time/ Window of Time… (21 Days… Prince of Persia)
  • Esther — Purim; Spirit of Haman/ Haman’s Gallows!

Blessings to you all.

The Rowboat Prophecy – Michael M Bennett

As featured in his Tinderbox Prophecy Update, Michael’s email of 10th February now continues as below. My month’s delay in not being able to publish may well be for the Lord to show the relevance of current events to what Michael received last year

NB. He wrote me a fortnight before fourth round of negotiations with Iran reached an impasse, as in my footnote to Neil Mackereth’s Current Middle-East Geo-political  Key Points on breaking news: ‘Senior Iranian official to Al Jazeera: “We categorically reject the dismantling of the nuclear facilities, zero enrichment, the transfer of uranium, or any discussion of the ballistic missiles.”  Therefore, Israel and US had no option  but to launch pre-emptive military operations against Iran on 28th February.

Michael continues,

‘…Another prophecy I received, the Row Boat prophecy, matters because it places a limit on Ezekiel 38 [RB: The Lord’s great victory over the nations] – because it indicates that Putin’s Russia will not attack Israel.

This prophecy is holding because, far from advancing into the Middle East, Russia has withdrawn. Indeed, over the weekend, Russian personnel were flowing out of the Bushier Nuclear Plant – back to Russia.

What follows is from June 2025, but I feel that now is the time for it to be published.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Miles Bennett
 
 
THE ROW BOAT PROPHECY – Part 1

23rd June 2025, plus the follow-up on 10/8/25

A vision in the night: copied directly from my journal.

I was awakened while it was still dark in the early hours this morning. I asked the Lord why I had been woken up. I asked why my dreams and visions were so infrequent and obscure. I began to see.

I saw a rowing boat, brown with no oars. It was wooden. As time has passed (now, for example) I can see it quite clearly. It is the wooden shiplap type. It began to be taken ‘downstream’; it had no control of its own direction or fate.

The next vision (following immediately) was of it falling off a cliff: there was no water.

The Father spoke one sentence, 

“The boat is Islam”.

THE ROW BOAT – Part  2

Same day. In the shower an angel said to me:

“The water is the nations

The flow (of water) is time

The cliff edge is ‘time is up’

When the Killing is done the killing will begin

When the murder is done the murder will begin

When the genocide is done the genocide will begin

Time is nearly up.”

11.35 a.m. 23/6/25

THE ROW BOAT  – Part 3

10th August 2025

This vision has been persisting for over a week. I am finally persuaded to record it.

I saw the wooden row boat again – actually for over a week – only this time it’s out of the water. This is so I can see underneath it. There is a great big hole in the bottom of it.

Yet, it hasn’t fallen off the cliff yet. Hands (just hands) are reaching up to hold onto it – & holding it up. Some are even holding onto the hole’s edge (so they know the row boat is sinking… oh and wrecked).

Now, finally as I write, I see the last hands let go.

The Father says.

“Islam is to change. It ceases to be Islam. The culture changes – ready for my arrival. There is no chance of it surviving in its present form. It is being readied to accept the anti-Christ, the false one, the hypocrite and liar.

It will then slot into place like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle.

 MMB

 Commentary

The above is a precise transcription from the pages of my journal.

I must inform you that I have known for over a decade that Islam would change to ready it for the arrival of the anti-Christ. So, some aspects of these visions are not surprising to me.

The hole in the boat clearly represents the failure of Islam.

Rather than abandoning something that is recognised as being a failure, its supporters do just that – they hold on to and hold in place a belief system they recognise is simply not living up to its claims.

Notice, supporters are actually holding onto the edges of the hole.

The absence of water at the cliff edge indicates that support for it has failed. Its fall off the cliff is absolute.

I believe it is time for this vision to be published.

Signs in the heavens at Purim speak into the Times – Veronika West

SIGNS INTHE HEAVENS THAT SPEAK INTO THE TIMES

March 3rd 2026 aligns with 14 Adar 5786 on the Hebrew calendar (from sundown March 2nd to sundown March 3rd) the Day of Purim.

We acknowledge this as an Appointed Time recorded in Scripture.

As it is written in the Book of Joel 2,

”I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke….
…. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of The LORD,” Joel 2:30–31.

In Scripture, these heavenly Signs are connected specifically to the Day of The LORD to Divine Intervention and the Judging of Nations, according to God’s Sovereign Timing.

When I saw this picture above, ”Psalms 82” was quickened to me which reveals God Standing in Divine Council to Judge Corrupt Rulers who issue Unjust Decrees.

“God standeth in the congregation of the mighty…. He judgeth among the gods.
…. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked?
…. Arise, O God, Judge the earth: for Thou shalt inherit all Nations,” Psalm 82:1–2,8.

Psalms 82 is declaring that He will Arise and Judge the Nations of the Earth!

Note: 2026; (10) 82; (10) : Ten (10) is the Number of Divine Order.

This Psalm parallels powerfully to the Book of Esther, where Haman’s wicked decree was issued to destroy the Jews, yet God overturned it through a Counter-Decree written on the 23rd day of the (3) Third Hebrew Month, Sivan. See ; Esther 8:9.

While Purim is celebrated in Adar as the day of Victory. See Esther 9:26–28.

The Legal Authorisation that secured that Deliverance and Victory was established earlier in Sivan.

Here we see a clear Prophetic Pattern.

An Unrighteous Decree is Released — a Lawful Counter-Decree is Written — and Deliverance and Victory manifests at the Appointed Time.

Psalm 82 reveals Divine Judgment confronting corrupt Authority.

The (3) Third Month — Sivan — is also biblically associated with Covenantal Revelation…

Exodus 19:1 — when Israel came to Sinai and received Divine Law, and the (3) March 2026 — which Aligns with 14 Adar 5786 on the Hebrew calendar (from sundown March 2nd to sundown March 3rd) — the Day of Purim demonstrates how God Reverses unjust Rulings.

As I said above, there is a consistent Prophetic Pattern.

God Confronts Unjust Authority. He Arises to Judge, and Righteous Deliverance comes according to His Appointed Times!

Blessings to you all.

Bible replay and Netanyahu prophecies being fulfilled

https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel

Thinking of the few prophecies I’m aware of about Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu – and in this blog’s first month I posted about him starting a Bible home study group, and declaring 2011 Christmas greetings – I was pleased to hear Jonathan Cahn on The Secret Behind the Ayatollah’s Fall describe Bibi’s PIVOTAL ROLE in this year’s Feast of Purim (where the Jewish people were saved from genocide about 2,500 yeas ago; the feast is not merely a celebration of survival but a profound expression of joy, gratitude and divine providence).

In fact, last weekend’s pre-emptive attack against their satanically-inspired foe makes a Biblical replay of Purim. Here’s Jonathan (from 21:46 timestamp):

“Now listen to the news report here of what happened to the modern Haman. Satellite images showed heavy damage to Ayatollah Ali Kamenei’s fortified compound, including buildings believed to house his home and the so-called house of leadership. On the weekend commemorating the execution of the evil Persian leader [Haman – see Esther 7] in his own home, the evil Persian [ie Iranian – RB] leader is executed in his own home. Now, the word, now listen to this, the word that was appointed to be read around the world on that day tells of King Saul’s failure to execute King Agag.

Centuries later, the descendant of King Agag, according to the Hebrew [word], Haman will be executed because of Mordecai and Esther. They stop him. King Saul failed to execute Agag. Mordecai and Esther succeeded in executing his apparent descendant Haman… Now listen, King Saul was of the tribe of Benjamin, but he failed. So Mordecai is raised up centuries later to succeed and guess what? Mordecai is of the tribe of
Benjamin and Esther may be as well. So one person of Benjamin fails, the other
person of Benjamin, man of Benjamin succeeds to execute the son of of the one who Saul, or the descendant, failed to.

So the the secret here ,mystery, the one who executes the evil Persian leader will be linked to the name Benjamin, of Benjamin. On February 28th, the one who executed the evil Persian leader was linked to the name of Benjamin. Namely, his name was Benjamin Netanyahu. Benjamin. He must be linked to the name Benjamin. And now, because Haman was such an evil man, when he died, there was celebration throughout Persia.

The death of Iran’s supreme leader, the Ayatollah, brought celebration throughout Persia, throughout Iran, but it wasn’t focused on the Jewish people. It was the Iranian people themselves. You had an Islamic nation celebrating and they were celebrating America and Israel. There were videos on YouTube showing Iranians with signs saying, “Thank you, America.” And then, “Thank you, Bibi.” That’s the nickname of Benjamin Netanyahu. One of these Persian Iranian people had a red cap on that said, “Make
Iran great again.” There were even videos of Iranians waving Israeli flags.
The blue and white of the Israeli flag of their blue and white. Actually, blue and white had a role. You know, the planes that came in and struck down Khamenei, they had on them on them. They had a they had blue and white on them… a blue, a white circle there. Well, interesting. They’re marked by blue and white. Interesting. Listen to this. Esther 8, I’m sorry. It says,
“Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the king wearing royal robes of blue and
white.” Amazing thing. Purim is a festival of joy for the Jewish people.

They sing and they dance and they celebrate about being saved by God because of the ending of an evil leader plan and rule in Persia, Iran.

Well, now all of the world and Iran, the people of Persia, are celebrating the ending of the rule of an evil leader of Persia. And they’re celebrating it…at the time of Purim. I don’t know if they realize it, but they were saved through an ancient Jewish holiday that brought them so much joy.

Let’s bring it home now. What does all this reveal?
Number one is that what happened on that Saturday with America, Trump, Israel, Netanyahu, Iran, the supreme leader was part of an ancient war of Amalek and God that begins with Moses when they come out from the Pharaoh. And when God says, “I will war against Amalek.” In every generation, he will war.

What happened? What happened to the quote supreme leader? He was struck down by the hand of God. That’s what it reveals behind it all. The hand of the holy one. Because the supreme leader of Iran is not THE supreme leader. The Supreme Leader is the holy one of Israel. He’s the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!!

What happened? What does it tell us? It tells us that God is real. This is real. It’s all real. What the Bible says is real. The God of the Bible is alive and well. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is still on the throne of all. The God of Esther, and Mordecai is still moving through the world in history as much as he moved back then in Bible times. Bible times. We’re in Bible times because God is real. It’s amazing – it’s amazing. You see, we’ve got a faith that can that actually we can talk about this actually coming true in the news. There’s no other faith like this.”

NEXT, we consider some contemporary prophecies about Israel’s Prime Minister…

Biblical ‘God-incidence’ at Purim shows the LORD IS in charge!

Further to our brief considering the claims of the Iranian regime’s deceased Supreme Leader about his false religion’s messiah, here are details of the Biblical reality of the Book of Esther being re-played in our day, and the modern Haman being executed by the means he planned for the Jewish nation of Israel.

Prophecies on Jesus’ holy titles and fulfilment

When we invite Jesus into His entitled place as Lord of our life then everything falls into its proper place. So I suggest a starting point to prepare for what He’s doing in the New Year is to contemplate and realise His many ancient and eternal titles, as prophesied and fulfilled in holy scriptures: Continue reading →

Blessings and Curses re Britain and Israel – Neil Mackereth

Written early this month we hit a few glitches, yet Neil is timely in view of Keir Starmer’s unwise appeasement of barbarians in recognising a Palestinian state (covered to a quick extent with links on this blog’s Telegram, from this item.) Note Neil’s perspective is not only from scripture but also that of a retired brigadier; also that emphases are mine:

BLESSINGS  AND  CURSES

INTRODUCTION

Joel 3:1-3 “In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.”

The timing of this “trial” means it must be the same event, referred to as the “Sheep and Goats” judgement by Jesus, in Matthew 25:31-46.

Furthermore, it endorses the conclusion that when Jesus talks about “the least of these brothers and sisters of mine” He must mean His Jewish “brothers and sisters” (“brethren” in some translations).

This is a clear example of the differing outcomes for those who bless Israel and for those who curse Israel. As Genesis 12:1-3 states:

“The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

From Joel’s prophecy, we see that dividing up God’s land is, in effect, cursing Israel.

A BRITISH PERSPECTIVE – Are we a SHEEP or a GOAT Nation?

Before answering that question, I want to look at a series of events that occurred
towards the end of World War 1, and which I am certain reveal the consequences of
blessing Israel: the dates are significant, as is the heart motive in the decisions made.

In June 1917, General Allenby, a devout Bible believing Christian, was appointed
commander of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF – a British Army group which
included multi-national allied forces). The EEF had been repelled in attempts to take
Gaza (which was held by German and Ottoman Empire forces) in March and April 1917.

On or about Tuesday 30 October 1917, the cabinet of our predominantly Christian
Government agreed the proposal to support the establishment of a national home for
the Jewish people. [RB; was this decision significant in turning the tide militarily, as well as spiritually?]

On 2 November 1917, the British Foreign Secretary, Arthur Balfour, issued the “Balfour Declaration”; a letter declaring British Government support for the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine.

On 2 November the third battle of Gaza began.

On 7 November the victorious EEF took over the town of Gaza.

On 11 December 1917 General Allenby entered Jerusalem on foot and took over the city, without a shot being fired. In light of the successes and rapid advance of the EEF, the German and Ottoman forces had decided not to defend the City, but rather to withdraw into the Judean hills.

[RB: Gen Allenby entered on foot because he wouldn’t ride a horse over ground his Lord had walked upon. A few more details will appear in the Addendum.]

In September 1918, after a delay caused by the need to divert men from the EEF to
reinforce the Western Front during the German Spring Offensive, the EEF took Megiddo, then Damascus and Aleppo.

On 30 October 1918 the Ottoman Empire agreed a peace treaty with the Allies.
Obviously, a huge amount of detail is excluded. However, I am convinced that this series of events clearly illustrates that the blessing of Israel resulted in a reciprocal blessing.

At that time, we were definitely a Sheep Nation!

DIVIDING UP MY LAND

Tragically, Great Britain and the League of Nations reneged on their promises of support. In the early 1920s, some 72% of the land, originally earmarked as the intended homeland for the Jewish people, had been given to other interested parties.

Sadly, the British Government was heavily involved in dividing up the land and, after
World War 2, did everything it could, short of warfare, to prevent the establishment of
a Jewish Nation.

Nevertheless, miraculously, and against all the odds, Israel became (declared itself) a
Nation on 5 May 1948, albeit only in a fraction of the land area destined in Numbers 34,
which God gave, as an everlasting covenant, to His chosen people, Abraham and his descendants through Isaac. The nationhood status of Israel was immediately recognised by the USA.

CONCLUSION

So, Israel is a Nation and, since 1948 has survived, and continues to survive, wars and
appalling attacks. Obviously, the Israel economy is under considerable strain.

Nevertheless, its military successes and economic resilience are truly miraculous.

Meanwhile, Great Britain has lost an empire and been in a slow decline which, in recent
years, is gaining momentum. Our secular government now recognises Palestinian statehood, and in so doing is defying God.

We are now definitely a Goat Nation!

NEWS:

Palestinians have had several decades to prove they can establish a viable, flourishing, peaceful nation. SO logically, they have neither the will nor intention of doing so!

[Finished during a brief gap between meal and house group and published at 19:17!]

Has PM Starmer gone against Genesis 12.3 to bring curse upon UK?

Am amused that Old Testament patriarch Abram was only a couple of years younger than me when the Lord instructed him with a MIGHTY promise for the whole wide world. As written in the 12th chapter of the Book of Beginnings:

“Get out of your country, from your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.
2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Even when the Moabites instructed the diviner Balaam to curse the Israelites, the Lord spoke through him to bring a stunning contrary word, and which the modern state of Israel cited in its military operation ‘Roaring Lion’ against Iran (Numbers 24 NKJV)

“God brings him out of Egypt; He has strength like a wild ox; He shall consume the nations, his enemies; He shall break their bones and pierce them with his arrows.
9 ‘He bows down, he lies down as a lion; And as a lion, who shall rouse him?’ “Blessed is he who blesses you, and cursed is he who curses you.”

Amplified: “Blessed [of God] is he who blesses you [who prays for and contributes to your welfare] and cursed [of God] is he who curses you [who in word, thought, or deed would bring harm upon you]”.

My fellow End-times author AS cited the above scriptures and writes me as follows;

“Starmer should be very careful about his responses to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, for the sake of all of us:

Joel 3:2, 12, 17, 21: I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.
“Let the nations be roused, let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations on every side.
“Then you will know that I, the Lord your God, dwell in Zion, my holy hill. Jerusalem will be holy; never again will foreigners invade her.
Shall I leave their innocent blood unavenged? No, I will not.”
Zacharia 12:3-4: “On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,” declares the Lord.

OUR GOVERNMENT NOT STANDING WITH ISRAEL BUT SIDING WITH THOSE WHO CURSE IT, HAS PUT THE UNITED KINGDOM IN THE SAME PLACE!

Not only failing to deal with anti-Semitic, pro-Palestine violence but also complying with the demands of those who endorse Hamas’ prime-evil barbarity, for Britain’s Prime Minister to recognise a state of Palestine in September unless Israel complies with a series of conditions based upon outrageous lies, puts our nation spiritually into a worse place than we’re in – but accords with the prophecy of the Lord overturning Britain.

YET, thank and praise You Lord for signs of Revival…

Adrian Blomfield writes,

‘Hamas leaders could be forced to leave Gaza after Middle-Eastern states united behind a new plan to end the 22-month-long war.

Qatar and Turkey, two of the group’s main patrons, have thrown their weight behind a French and Saudi peace initiative that sharply increases pressure on Hamas to disarm, surrender power and accept exile.

Senior Gulf officials said the rare display of regional unity could isolate the movement to the point where it has no option but to comply.

“We genuinely believe we have a shot at this,” one diplomat said. “Hamas is in a corner. They don’t have much choice.”

Israel’s long and bloody war in Gaza has left Hamas so enfeebled that Arab officials believe there is now a “golden opportunity” to deliver a final blow…’

Let’s pray this will align with the Lord’s plans, for “blessed are the peacemakers”.

Iran 40 years on: Part 1 – the ‘Hand’ and Jeremiah 49

FORTY YEARS FROM WATCHING IRAN’s REHEARSALS OF ATTACKING ISRAEL, WE SEE ISRAEL DEFENDING ITSELF BY DIRECT ATTACKS UPON IRAN.

Biblically, number “40” is particularly pervasive and connected to the fulfilment of God’s promises, not all of which are positive; often associated with judgement, testing and trials; of which many are listed within Biblical Viewpoint website.

In my Bio Info’s sub-head ‘Grabbed By An Invisible Hand’ I recount a life -changing event of about forty years ago (mid 1980s) when I was not yet born-again as part-time editor/publisher and trustee of a New Age group in London. My immediate predecessor and who operated a mail-order book business said, “As you’re interested in prophecy, you may like this!” and gave me The Invisible Hand by Victor Dunstan (published by his Megiddo Press, 1984).

Invisible Hand

This gift claims the Bible holds coded and plain-text details of prophecies relating to the 20th Century British Mandate in Palestine, and gives historical details of the Mandate.

Now it just so happened (my first ‘God-incidence’) that whilst watching a documentary about the then current Iraq-Iran war, I casually flicked through the book and noticed references to the significance of Jerusalem.

So you can imagine my absolute amazement upon hearing the narrator on TV describing the footage being shown of “Elite units from opposing forces rehearsing an attack upon Jerusalem”

Despite being at war, they’d united to practise storming and ‘liberating’ the holy city of Jerusalem!!

So I watched what claimed to be a video of such an attack – my jaw dropped! Wouldn’t yours?

This book must be taken seriously; so it immediately grabbed and got my attention! Also, it introduced me to Jewish and Muslim history as a background to Church history, and devoid of theology and jargon.

Consequently, I became more alert to Middle-Eastern and globally related events, which suggest things may not be as they seem at first glance – or as reported in the media, and definitely not the BBC!

I was amazed to learn many modern events are of Biblical significance. Utterly bemused, therefore, I began to watch as events unfolded – occasionally and slowly at first, but rapidly and accelerating after the new Millennium, or ‘3rd Day’ since Christ, got under way.

Dunstan estimated all the prophecies would come to a climax in 1992 with Russia being the lead villain against Israel. However, he didn’t foresee the collapse of communism in 1989! Yet that year proved pertinent because the ‘Middle East Peace Process’ had just got under way in October 1991 and led to the Oslo Accords of 1993.

Furthermore, Victor accurately foresaw the resurgence of Islam as a militant force:

‘We are about to witness a mighty and almost unbelievable upsurge in Islam. Though we see the first signs of an Islamic-revival (it) has a long way to to go but it’s going to go that ‘long way’ very quickly.’ [‘The Invisible Hand’, page 198.]

Consequently, his seminal book has received a number of mentions during the course of my writing and which may be found under Invisbl_Hand tag.

NOTIFYING FRIENDS OF THE DANGERS

Not long after hearing “This is ALL about to be fulfilled!” upon opening my Bible in 2008 I began emailing friends on the ‘Endgame’ having begun and on ‘Not Many People Know’, and in May 2009 those two-part posts rammed home with Today’s Importance in History, wherein I write (copy email):

‘...Altho’ our gaze as believers is toward heavenly Jerusalem, it’s right not to overlook our God of Israel’s heart for actual Jerusalem and His covenant people. His intention and warning to the nations given through Zechariah (ch 12) still apply – and Ezekiel 38 opposition is moving into alliances. Hence, the world’s continual concern with Jerusalem and Israel.

Today, that storm comes to a climax as Prime Minister Netanyahu meets President Obama to discuss the latter’s 2-state solution for the Middle-East.
You may know that this involved attempts to turn the Arab world and Europe against Israel, and to appease Iran – even to ‘blackmailing’ Israel over its nuclear defence! (It’s reported Obama wanted to be able to use Iran’s territory for supplying US troops in Afghanistan and Pakistan.)

Also, there’s been dismay in Cairo and Riyadh over his courting the terrorist mentors in Teheran. No wonder Egypt and S.Arabia – both kept militarily informed by Israel – and five Gulf emirates turned a deaf ear to Pres. Obama’s secret (and 3rd) delegation seeking hundreds of billions dollars investment in US and global economic stimulus plans! It’s reported, however, that over the weekend a political furore gripped Washington and frayed Obama’s key policies.

The Bush and Obama administrations’ misguided intentions are to establish a terrorist-run nation within the ancient home-land of Judea/Israel. The consequences for USA in betraying its ally Israel could be severe, as when Bush wanted to trade land for peace (as collated by William Koenig, the Christian accredited White House correspondent). The Lord gave detailed warnings of judgement in Nov ’99 which included not only last year’s collapse of stocks but also the betrayal of Israel by Western allies!’

Over a dozen private emails on Iran were to follow before I was impelled to launch this blog three weeks after asking Is Netanyahu Signalling a Pre-emptive Strike? My aim was to alert the wider public – with now over 220 more items.

One of the earliest posts gives a clear warning of the global danger off the Iranian regime:

Iranian leader’s End-Times declaration

Also, we kept an eye on the geopolitical aspects of the Gog-Magog alliance of which the ‘101’ posting precedes this present post and is part of the ‘wheels-within-wheels’ series, Richards Watch Goes Full-circle: 5 – Iran’s Anti-Israel Ambition

SO let’s close Part 1 with what prophet Jeremiah heard, as in the 49th (7×7!) chapter of his book on the ancient name of that nation in the location of Persia, or modern Iran:

JEREMIAH 49: JUDGEMENT ON ELAM

34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:

‘Behold, I will break the [l]bow of Elam,
The foremost of their might.
36 Against Elam I will bring the four winds
From the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies
And before those who seek their life.
I will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’ says the Lord;
‘And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
38 I will set My throne in Elam,
And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord.

39 ‘But it shall come to pass in the latter days:
I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord.”

‘Jesus is the Resurrection of God’s Glory’ – part 1

The above title just dropped into mind within seconds of awaking at 6.50am as I gave my day to the Lord. Mulling that over just before reading today’s Sanctuary diary, that ‘drop’ expands into ‘Jesus is the Resurrection-Radiance of God’s Glory!’

Since the reprise of He is Risen! – Time and Quantum effects in Jesus’ Resurrection, followed by a new post with video links relating to The Shroud of Turin I’ve wanted to write this to plug science into scripture, especially following subsequent Saturday Men’s Breakfasts started to study the Book to the Hebrews – and now ‘God-incidentally’ AS I TYPE, this song on the subject of my focus – and the link to which I’d already inserted at a mid-point of this new post as my very first action – begins to play on this pc:

Nearly 30 years ago I highlighted this awesome declaration in Hebrews in my then new NIV Insight Bible purchased for ministry training:

Moreover, in his quoting prophet Jeremiah’s hearing the Lord’s instruction as a potter moulded clay, David Strutt profoundly likens it to his actions in creating a painting:

‘If the clay inspired the prophet and he has troubled to explain to us what he saw, so indeed it may speak powerfully to us as a prophetic illustration. If we have seen the potter’s skilful hands coaxing a thing of beauty out of a chunk of mud, so we can see that God acts so (emphasis mine). I have never made a pot but I do paint and, when I do, it arises from a vision I have seen in my mind’s eye.’

He goes on to explain how he endeavours to bring forth the vision into reality, but on occasions something may not work and so needs erasing with turps.

Thus, today’s mediation confirmed what was in my own mind: that modifying the original ‘drop’ by combining ‘Resurrection’ with ‘Radiance’ is not out of order.  I’d indeed heard well and it was and is again being expanded, now into a triple ‘R’:

‘Jesus is the Resurrection-Reflection-Radiance of God’s Glory!’

In Part 2 we connect this into scientific findings…

Replacement Theology misses significance of Jesus’ warning of the Abomination

Reference:  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)

As ‘the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy’ (Rev 19:10) then His instruction 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 His witness to its coming true, and establishing it according to the principle of Deut 19:15.

In heeding that warning, nearly forty years later Jesus’ followers wisely fled Jerusalem when Titus’ huge Roman army besieged and destroyed the city and temple.

As told in Bio Info, the Lord had put this book 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.

Sophronius, Patriarch of Jerusalem, agreed to surrender on condition he submit direct to the Caliph Umar in person:

‘After signing the capitulation, (Umar) 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!.

Sadly, in ignoring the scriptural and historic validity of the Jews and nation of Israel then ‘RT’ aligns itself with endemic racial and religious hatred of anti-Semitism.
