The great eagle: a Time of stirring and divine incubation of a greater revelation – Veronika West (#36)

Note to Readers: you may wish to read about the historical relevance of the following as described in the previous trilogy of posts. Veronika’s posting this awesome vision on her Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook last Friday makes the 36th instance of ‘full circles’ and, as ever, I’m grateful to Angus MacKillop for kind permission to copy His Kingdom Prophecy version (emphases mine):

A TIME OF STIRRING AND DIVINE INCUBATION OF A GREATER REVELATION

Powerful Prophetic Encounter: “The Great Eagle — a Time of Stirring and Divine Incubation of Greater Revelation is Upon Us!”

Today in my Prayer Hut, something strange happened…

Only way to describe it, was that It was as if I was sitting in a Nest — but also like a womb…which was high, high, high above The Nations of the Earth.

But at the same time it was deep, deep, deep in The Realm of The Spirit.

Then suddenly, I could feel a tangible brooding of The Spirit over me, like The Spirit was hovering over me — like in Genesis — and there was what felt like a brooding of The Spirit and power of Elijah over me.

I also then became aware of what felt like a Divine Stirring of the Nest — like the start of the deep contractions of a womb at a time of birthing.

A strange and deep stirring in The Spirit, just like when an Eagle will stir and move her eggs into right position for the hatching and the time of birthing!

Then suddenly, I saw what appeared like a Great Eagle that was hovering over me, and I saw the wings of the Eagle come up and spread out before me in the encounter.

I saw that its wings were covered in multi-coloured feathers that literally glistened with radiant Light, and within the Light I could hear what sounded like Ancient Sounds rising up from deep within The Spirit Realm.

Now, both the colours of the Great Eagle’s wings and feathers are very hard to articulate and the sounds I heard, I can’t really explain in words — but the radiant colours of the feathers I saw and could tangibly feel were living, vibrating, and pulsed with Life and Power.

The vibrations of the colours gave way to Ancient Sound frequencies, and I knew by The Spirit of Revelation that what I was seeing spoke to The Seven Spirits of God that we see in Ezekiel 47 and from the Book of Revelation [RB: Revelation 22 –  my number again!]

Then I saw the eyes of the Great Eagle come up before me and I saw that there were many eyes — Seven (7) Eyes — and again I knew that this spoke to The Seven Eyes of The Seven Spirits — Seven Eyes bringing greater Vision, Illumination and Revelation!

Then suddenly the Four Faces of Ezekiel [Ezekiel 1:10] came up before me — the Face of the Eagle, the Man, the Ox and the Lion.

Again I knew by Revelation that this spoke to the Four Living creatures in Ezekiel, and again I knew that the Four Faces spoke to the coming Kingdom Reformation of the Fivefold.

Suddenly, I saw that a Divine Convergence of the Four Faces is now coming upon The Nations, and I knew by the Spirit of Understanding that I/the Prophets of God, are now receiving by Divine Exchange and Impartation in the Secret Place of deeper Consecration, greater Clarity, Supernatural Vision, greater Illumination and Revelation Knowledge for the days to come.

There is a hovering, brooding and overshadowing that’s taking place in the Secret Place and on the Great Mountain of The LORD.

I believe and submit this is why many have been hearing the Call to greater Ascension and deeper consecration, as there is an Invitation to “Come Up Here!”

And then I heard, ”Get Ready! For you have now entered into a season of Divine Incubation, Birthing and a Spiritual Awakening, in the Secret and Hidden Place/in the Womb of the Upper Room!
I The LORD AM forming and Preparing the hearts of My End-time Remnant Army to bring forth deeper levels of Glory through Divine Revelation and Wisdom, for such a time as this!”

I/the Prophets, are being taken higher and deeper into the Secret and Hidden Realms of His Glory, and into Virgin Dimensions of His Glory that have never been seen before, for purpose of a greater Manifestation and Demonstration of His Kingdom, in order to take full Dominion!

Today I heard The Spirit say, “Watch! For many are Incubating Revelation that will bring to birth greater Manifestations of My Kingdom in The Nations of the Earth!”

Blessings to you all.

PERSONAL MUSINGS:

ALL the timing seems to have ‘God-incidental’ confirmation not only in reading Alan Shemwell’s book (as in PS) but also during our Saturday walk I mused over this prophecy and its personal and blog’s ‘cyclical’ connection of ‘wheels-within-wheels’ I was reminded of Ezekiel’s vision of wheels within the four-faced living creatures.

Being reminded of that 30 years-old event means it’s time to seek to fly higher!

So I checked his first chapter and got ‘God-smacked’ by its opening reference to a 30 years period – identical to the time-span of my personal own eagle as told in ‘full circle 34‘ – AND THE SAME DIGITS APPEAR THEREIN as ‘30th year, 4th month’ as below:

Ezekiel’s Vision of God

‘1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God…

15 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.
19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.’

So, it’s far too ‘coincidental’ for this blog to have many previous posts recurring, like the turning engine wheels of an accelerating train, and the latest referring to the four faces of God and now Veronika refers to the four-faced living creatures and in which wheels are the main empowering feature in Ezekiel’s vision, as well as their wings!

Regarding the inner revelation given to her of the 7-fold Spirit being the Millennial River  we know the River of Life is the Holy Spirit’s flow, hence is 7-fold. Also, in musing over it this dropped into mind: the Trinity is in the Temple and the outflowing river has 4 depths, thus 7 is symbolised by 3+4. I’ve dreamt of the river and its various depths a few times – and swimming in the deeps I could breathe like a ‘fish’ < HA, early Christian symbol!!

Wheels-within-wheels, full circles 34 & 35; four faces of God

The Four Faces of God, by John Bickersteff & Timothy Pain.

So, ‘circle’ 34 of the personal eagle vision goes back 30 years to 1996. On the same day as its reminder in Veronika West’s prophecy – see next post – another feature within that prophecy had been posted 10 years ago on 7th April 2016.

What’s more, that was the very first of my postings tagged in her name, this one being 886th (LOL 8+8+6=22, my birthday number keeps popping up, AND confirms prophetic relevance of the two ‘coinciding’ circles.)

Vision of glory Firestorm, Four Whirlwinds and the Four Faces of God.

Pertinent Paragraphs:

“..In this encounter, I was taken onto a battlefield, the sky was filled with the colours of Deep Red and Orange, and I heard the words, “THE DAWNING OF NEW DAY”, the atmosphere was filled with GREAT EXPECTATION AND ANTICIPATION..I could see the Mighty Warriors of God standing at attention on the battlefield, each one strategically positioned in their respective ranks, I could see these Mighty Warriors were WAITING! I knew by divine revelation that these Warriors were “WAITING FOR HEAVEN TO TOUCH EARTH”, then suddenly a strong and mighty Wind began to blow upon the battlefield, I watched as Four Mighty Whirlwinds began to form in the distance, suddenly I could see the four faces of God within the Four Whirlwinds, I saw the Face of the Eagle within the Whirlwind that came from the North, then I saw the Face of the Ox that came in the Whirlwind from the West, then the Face of Man that came in the Whirlwind from the South, and lastly I could see the Face of the Lion that came in the Whirlwind from the East. Now the Whirlwinds moved in unison causing an immense dust storm to rise up from the ground which filled the atmosphere with an even greater EXPECTATION AND ANTICIPATION among the Warriors of God…”

Footnote:

Four Faces bookFascinating this should be published on the day my US supplier sent a copy of ‘The Four Faces of God’ by John Bickersteth & Timothy Paine to a friend in the States!

Also, two days earlier I’d emailed another about my blog Vision of Lion & Four Faces of God because he’d told me about the Lion at Dr Sharon Stone’s mentoring day on the previous weekend!! As Veronika says on this ‘God-incidence’ – WE GIVE GOD ALL THE GLORY!

A couple of days later I posted this detailed consideration:

7th April, the Four Faces of God and Unity

‘After days of enquiring about overseas deliveries and as told in my footnote to this post, I was informed on 7th April that a copy of the out-of-print book ‘The Four Faces of God’ had been dispatched. It so happens – definitely not a coincidence – last Thursday, the 7th day of the 4th month of 2016, brought a quadruple focus upon a very specific theme…’

‘SO we have ‘four corner pieces’ of a jigsaw puzzle displaying ‘UNITY’ in the Lord. Could they in any way be related to the four faces of God?  I humbly submit how this may be so:

Four Faces image

  1. dramatic vision of fire, whirlwinds and God – symbolic of the Eagle’s vision
  2. word from the Lord about angelic release – symbolic of the Lion’s rulership
  3. act of obedience to Lord and pastor – symbolic of Bull’s sacrificial service
  4. noticing and writing about theme – symbolic of Man’s anointing and calling.’

Ten Scriptures Prophesying Israel’s Rebirth – Neil Mackereth

ANNEX TO ‘STAND YOUR GROUND’

Easy-to-read introduction to the significance of Biblical prophecyI want to whet your appetite by looking at some amazing examples of fulfilled prophecy from recent history. I will do this using ten Scriptures that prophesy the re-establishment of Israel as a nation.

This momentous event happened in 1948 – thousands of years after the prophecies were given and recorded. I will provide brief comments and approximate dates in my discussion of these parallels:

1. “I will bring back my exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them,” says the Lord your God. – Amos 9:14-15 (written 760 BC)

The prophet Amos, writing some 2750 years ago, foresaw the return of his dispersed and exiled people to their homeland. The short-range fulfilment occurred in 536 BC, after the Jewish people got deported to Babylon (“The Exile”, is considered in more detail in ‘SIGNS’) were allowed back to the land of their forefathers. This was the more immediate fulfilment. But Biblical prophecy often contains a dual focus – an immediate or shorter term fulfilment in history and an ultimate or longer term fulfilment at the culmination of history.

The long-range fulfilment of this prophecy happened in 1948 when the Nation of Israel was miraculously re–established, leading to an ingathering of Jewish people from their two thousand year Diaspora (dispersion throughout the world). Note that the prophecy makes clear that they will not be displaced again. [Emphasis RB]

2. “So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet – a vast army. Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, `Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ Therefore prophesy and say to them: `This is what the Sovereign Lord says: O my people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord‘.” – Ezekiel 37:10-14 (written 580 BC)

Once again there is an immediate and an ultimate fulfilment contained within the same prophecy. Ezekiel, prophesying in the 6th century BC, foresees the revival of the Jewish people as a nation. At the time they were languishing in Babylon (now in Iraq). But within fifty years the Jewish people – numbering about 50,000 – were allowed back to their own land and to the site of the ruined Temple in the sacked city of Jerusalem. By the turn of the century the new Temple had been built and the nation had been resurrected through the work of the Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:6).

However, in AD 70 Jerusalem and its Temple were destroyed once again, this time not by the Babylonians but by the Romans. Once again the Jewish people were exiled from their homeland and scattered across the globe as displaced people living as minority groupings in many countries.

How the Jewish people didn’t die out completely is a miracle! Ezekiel foresaw this and predicted an even greater miracle – the resurrection of the Jewish people in the End Times. This occurred when Israel re-established sovereignty in 1948, three years after the end of the Holocaust, during which it is estimated that one in three Jews was killed by the Nazis. It seems to me that Israel was brought back from the dead!

3. “Before she goes into labour, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labour than she gives birth to her children.” – Isaiah 66:7-8 (written 700 BC)

This prophecy is quite remarkable in its accuracy, although this should not be startling given that God inspired the prophet who decreed it! The description of a woman giving birth before going into labour is a very apt analogy for what happened on 14 May 1948 when modern Israel was “born in a day”, only to face the onslaught of its enemies. On that day, the United States recognised Israel’s sovereignty. The United Nations mandate expired, ending British control of the land. Over a 24-hour period, foreign control of that part of Palestine ceased and Israel declared its independence as a nation. Israel was born in a single day!

As Ezekiel prophesied, the labour pains followed. Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Saudi Arabia attacked Israel within hours. Israel’s declaration of nationhood had triggered a war. On 15th May 1948, Azzam Pasha, the Secretary General of the Arab League, said: “This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades.” Others made similar comments during the war of 1948-49, and during the 1967 and 1973 wars, and the rhetoric continues. Nevertheless, Israel survives!

4. “And say to them, `This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms” – Ezekiel 37:21-22 (written 580 BC)

When this was written Israel had been divided into two kingdoms – Israel in the North and Judah in the South. The original undivided kingdom was formed from the federation of twelve Israelite tribes that occupied Canaan in the time of Joshua (an area roughly corresponding to the Levant, a historical geographical region which covered what we now know as Lebanon, Israel, the Palestinian territories, west Jordan and south west Syria). This kingdom was first established under King Saul (c 1050 to 1010BC), consolidated and strengthened by King David (1010 to 970BC) but divided into northern and southern kingdoms after the death of King Solomon (970 to 931BC).

Why did this division occur? The ten northern tribes rebelled against Solomon’s son and successor Rehoboam (931 to 914BC) while the tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained loyal. The ten rebellious tribes became Israel (the northern kingdom), the two loyal tribes became Judah (the southern kingdom).

Once again we see both a shorter-term and a longer-term fulfilment of this prophecy. While the shorter-term fulfilment occurred towards the end of the 6th century BC, when the scattered Jewish people returned from their bleak exile in Babylon, the longer-term fulfilment occurred in 1948 when Israel was reborn as a single nation and the dispersed Jewish people began to return to what they term Ha Aretz, the Land. Although the people only occupied a fraction of the area of the former “Land of Canaan”, we can still see remarkable resonances between Ezekiel’s words in the 6th century BC and events in the Middle East in the twentieth century.

5. “However, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when men will no longer say, `As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ but they will say, `As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ For I will restore them to the land I gave their forefathers. – Jeremiah 16:14-15 (written 600 BC)

This promise, of the restoration of the Jewish people to their homeland, was not only fulfilled in the time of the return to Judah in the 6th century BC. It was also fulfilled in the twentieth century, and its fulfilment continues!

After 1948, Jews have returned to Israel, after nearly 2000 years of dispersion, from as far afield as Russia, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Africa and many other continents and nations.

It seems Jeremiah was operating with both an immediate and an ultimate prophetic vision.

6. I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. – Ezekiel 34:13 (written 580 BC)

Once again this occurred both in the 6th century BC and in the 20th century AD. Since 1948, millions of “exiles” have returned to Ha Aretz.

7. “Hear the word of the Lord, O nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands: `He who scattered Israel will gather them and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’ – Jeremiah 31:10 (written 600 BC)

It is in our own times as it was in Jeremiah’s (6th century BC): God is watching over the re-established Nation of Israel. Israel has survived and succeeded against enormous odds.

8. “You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.” – Leviticus 26:3, 7-8 (written 1400 BC)

The day after Israel’s declaration of independence in 1948, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon invaded. The combined population of those countries was more than 20 million at that time whilst Israel had fewer than 1 million. Even so, Israel won and increased its size by 50 %.

Similar examples of memorable victories against enormous odds can be seen in the 1967 “6 Day War” and the 1973 “Yom Kippur” war.

9. Then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you. Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens, from there the Lord your God will gather you and bring you back. He will bring you to the land that belonged to your fathers, and you will take possession of it. He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers. – Deuteronomy 30:3-5 (written 1400 BC)

Israel is amazingly prosperous, in relation to its size, as evidenced by this quote from a Jewish newspaper of 5th July 2011:

“Very few countries have managed to grow and prosper so quickly in 60 years, from a standard of living of $3,100 per person in 1948 to today’s $25,000; from a country of 600,000 residents to 7.3 million; and from an orange exporter to an international high-tech power”.

10. I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions. And wherever they went among the nations they profaned my holy name, for it was said of them, ‘These are the Lord’s people, and yet they had to leave his land.’ I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone. “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes. ‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land’. – Ezekiel 36:19-24 (written 580 BC)

This scripture is very significant, particularly for those who wonder why God would re-establish and watch over the mainly secular state of Israel. The reason is because He said He would. It is for His name’s sake (for the honour of His name).

The Abrahamic Covenant is an everlasting covenant, which God will fulfil, not for the sake of His unruly people Israel but to show the world He is God, His name is holy, and He always honours all He has promised and, of course, there is more to come!

THE MIRACLE THAT IS ISRAEL

So there you have it! Ten Scriptures from the Old Testament, written between 3500 and 2500 years ago, all of which predict the unforeseen and improbable return of the Jewish people to the Land and the prosperity that would greet them when they did. All this is nothing short of miraculous!

Stand Your Ground – Neil Mackereth

Posted on by

My End-times writing partner Neil Mackereth offers further thoughts and insights which strongly remind me that this topic not only proves the Bible is prophetic, both before and since Jesus’ life and ministry, but also affects everyone living today by predicting a 20th Century event that is focal – as though ‘ground-zero’ – to kick-starting the End-times. Thus, I underscore Neil’s opening paragraph…

STANDING YOUR GROUND

Introduction

In the last couple of years, it has often been the case that when I start to write an article on a particular topic, God changes my direction. Today is no exception: while drafting a paper on some general principles of prophecy, God guided me to a specific prophetic fulfilment, and to some related Biblical imperatives, that are being under-appreciated or ignored.

The Prophetic Fulfilment

The re-establishment of the state of Israel in a day, on 14 May 1948, was supernatural, extraordinary and the fulfilment of many prophecies; as in the accompanying Annex.

The detail in those prophecies is mind-blowing and their significance, describing a key turning point in the history of God’s people and a major stepping-stone in the accomplishment of His plans for the world, is seriously undervalued by the church.

Biblical Imperatives

The imperative that trumps all imperatives is that if the Jews were taken out of history there would be no Bible, no prophets, no Judaism, no Jesus, no Christianity etc. Obviously, that is not where we are. But think about it; if Israel were to cease to exist, the Bible would not be true.

Moving on, Israel is a land about which God repeatedly says: “This is MY land” (Joel 1:6; Zech. 2:5-7; Gen. 35:10-15).

God’s call to Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3): ”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.”

Isaiah 62:1: “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will see your vindication, and all kings your glory;”

Psalm 122:6: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem”

The Outworking

It is time to take the Word of God seriously, speak out, tell the truth, bless Israel, pray without ceasing, preach the Gospel and lift up our hands in Holy and joyful praise: we have a mighty God.

The Challenge

There can be few who would not agree that the “Palestinians” have been cursing Israel for at least 20 years, and probably for 77. The Bible shows there are consequences: I believe Gaza is under judgement. That does not mean that we should not pray for them and seek their wellbeing. There is no place for hatred in our faith,

What are the roots of this demonically driven desire to see Israel overrun, and the Jewish people eradicated? That question was answered in part in an earlier paper: Israel in the End Times. It is all part of Satan’s plan to ensure that there is no Nation of Israel, no land and no people, for Jesus to return to as King. In other words, Satan believes he can prevent the fulfilment of Biblical prophecy.

With few exceptions, the founding fathers of the church were Jews, and that remained the case until the Gospel began to spread. Paul defines and describes the Jews’ role in God’s purposes, in Romans 9-11: the passage explains the theology of God’s covenants with the Jews. Scripture explains that, spiritually speaking, Christians are grafted into the Jewish legacy (Rom. 2:28-29, Gal. 3:26-29) – the church does not replace them!

It would be anomalous for a Bible-believing Christian to take a passive position toward the Jews and Israel. As Christians, we stand with Israel, because they are forever linked with the spiritual promises of God, and we owe them an immeasurable debt of gratitude.

Ezekiel 37 confirms God’s commitment to make the land of Israel theirs forever.

Notwithstanding Israel’s clear Biblical entitlement to the land, the 1917 Balfour declaration to assign it to them, and the confirmation of the United Nations Assembly in 1948, Israel is portrayed as the aggressor for defending her land from relentless genocidal attacks. The Palestinian goal is not to secure a homeland but to drive Israel out altogether. The relentless animosity of parts of the Arab world is not politically motivated. As mentioned above, there are demonic powers that will not be satisfied until Israel ceases to exist.

Stand With Israel

Scripture says a time is coming when all the nations of the world will turn against Israel (Zech. 12:1-14). Do you see it is happening? The very influential main stream media have become agents of Satan’ propaganda machine and are leading people astray: antisemitism has reached epidemic proportions (eg. as in latest on the BBC as below).

There seems every likelihood that we are the end times generation. Our calling is to stand with Israel. As Ephesians 6:13 says:

“Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”

‘Tim Davie, the BBC’s director general, refused anti-Semitism training for the broadcaster, the Government’s adviser on anti-Jewish hatred has revealed.

Lord Mann, Sir Keir Starmer’s independent adviser on anti-Semitism, said he had visited BBC bosses to offer training on three occasions since taking up his role in 2019. However, he said senior figures, including Mr Davie himself, turned down his repeated offers despite growing fears of an anti-Semitism problem at the BBC.

In a strongly worded condemnation of the broadcaster, Lord Mann accused it of failing to take seriously allegations of anti-Semitism and alleged anti-Israel bias in its reporting, saying there was an “arrogance at the top”.

He called for senior executives of the news corporation to be sacked for signing off on a controversial documentary….’

We now publish this blog’s 100th posting on the Gog-Magog Alliance with this from All Israel News of Turkey’s President Erdogan’s call for the official creation of an alliance to overthrow God’s sovereign nation of Israel.

It echoes what Old Testament prophet Ezekiel recorded from the Lord in two chapters (38 & 39) about a confederation of hostile nations that attack His people, but victorious superiority of Israel all for the Glory of God to be seen before all nations. NB, it refers to the Jews as living in peace and safety without any protection, which has yet to be achieved since its creation in 1948!

Scripture Meditation (Ephesians 2, NKJV)

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

My blog of a fortnight ago today about the caveat in Romans 13:1’s Submission to Governing Authorities on their not committing evil (with cross-references to Daniel 4 and Enoch on heavenly ‘watchers’) brought this response from Sidney Cordle, leader of the Christian Peoples’ Alliance:

“I discussed this yesterday on LCBN TV on this video starting 26mins: SHOULD CHRISTIANS BE IN POLITICS? on LCBN TV UK 28/08/2024. It basically supports what you are saying.”

He subsequently advised “We’ve done a summary which is 30 mins instead of 1 hour as follows which is in the CPA youtube link”

Therefore, I recommend Sidney’s exposition for your reflection (especially his reference to accountability of prophets and to a possible reason for the similitude of lack of God’s protection on 7th October to the destruction of Jerusalem) and considered response…

Christian People’s Alliance is a member of the European Christian Political Movement (ECPM), which includes Christian-democratic and Christian-social parties, NGO’s and think-tanks in Europe.

End-times Briefing 21: Israel and Iran – scripture and signs of The Day of the Lord?

Posted on by

“For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near; As you have done (ie. to Israel), it shall be done to you;
Your ‘reward’ shall return upon your own head.
For as you drank on My holy mountain,
So shall all the nations drink continually;
Yes, they shall drink, and swallow,
And they shall be as though they had never been.”  Obadiah 15 -16  (NKJV – courtesy BibleGateway.com)

Most will be aware of news of Iran’s threat to attack Israel on a multi-front as a result of its eliminating two top-level genocidal terrorists, and I ask you to kindly bear with this Briefing’s brevity in recommending links for further reading, especially John McTernan’s INSIGHTS: Israel at War.

In welcoming readers, my Bio Information relates how the Lord introduced me as a New Ager in the mid-1980s to a seminal book on geopolitics and ancient texts in the Bible. Whilst skimming through the book and glancing at its photos of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount I was watching a BBC report on the Iran-Iraq war. I was astonished at it showing elite units of Iran and Iraq rehearsing the liberation of that city!  BUT the Lord had told prophet Zechariah; as I was to learn much later (emphases mine):

Chapter 12 – A Prophecy: the Word of the Lord concerning Israel.

‘The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares: 2 “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 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. 4 On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,’ declares the Lord. ‘I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. 5 Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, “The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord Almighty is their God.”

6 ‘On that day I will  make the clans of Judah like a brazier in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.

7 ‘The Lord will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honour of the house of David and of Jerusalem’s inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah. 8 On that day the Lord will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord going before them. 9 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.”

Long-time subscribers may recall the almost one hundred postings on the Gog-Maggog alliance, of which Persia/Iran and Russia are principal participants (per Ezekiel 38-39).
Also, the Book of Daniel provides ‘Four Signposts’ as covered by Mark Davidson.

[PS. Not forgetting Psalm 83: A prayer to frustrate conspiracy against Israel.]

MAYDAY! Watch for May is a marked month! – Veronika West

Posted on by

Click image to read visit and HKP site

And then I heard, “Mayday! — Mayday! — Mayday!”

As soon as I opened my eyes and began to pray, The Spirit of Revelation spoke to me saying, ”Watch! For May is a marked month!

Listen! I say, “Mayday! — Mayday! — Mayday!” — for May is a marked month!

Awaken the deep sleepers! Set The Watchmen on the walls, and Guards at the City Gates!

I say, raise the sound of the Trumpet Call and the demonic tide will be turned — and the assignments of Jezebel and the altars of Baal will begin to fall!”

As I heard those Words, I saw a great and violent War raging in the heavens over the Nations — a fierce Spiritual Confrontation with the ruling powers and principalities of the kingdom of darkness.

I saw the Destiny of Nations being violently contended over.

I saw the next three (3) months are powerful pivotal prophetic months of great Warfare.

Then I saw the ninth month, and I heard, ”A stitch in time saves nine!”

The next three (3) months are critical months!

Our prayers will be like stitches in time (over the next three (3) months) that will save nine (9)!

I then saw powerful demonic assignments of the enemy that are going to be try to be fully implemented in the coming months of May, June and July, that will have devastating repercussions — if we as the Ecclesia, do not arise in the Power and Governmental Authority of the Key of The House of David and begin to Take Authority over every planned and orchestrated attack in the coming days!

Note : On Saturday at the HUB** during the Worship the Spirit of Revelation also highlighted the Month of July (the seventh Month) and Ezekiel 47 was brought to the fore. “As the Waters rise — so the Altars of Baal will Fall!”

There is a Clarion Call to Watch and Pray to Raise the Trumpet Sound in the Month of May and over the next three (3) months!

Let us raise our voices in True Repentance and Praise on behalf of this Nation, Ireland, and let us stand in the gap for all Nations in this pivotal Prophetic Season.

Let us agree that as we come together, we will see the demonic tide of destruction and death turned and returned to its sender!

**HUB = Ireland’s Destiny Hub

Postscript

On Saturday (27-4-2024) at our Prophetic Hub I saw snakes nests and hundreds of Snakes eggs hatching and I heard, “Serpent Sleeper-cells igniting and emerging!”

But then two Angels came into our midst with Measuring Rods and I heard, ”The Waters are Breaking — for I AM now raising up a Standard against the serpentine spirits of Leviathan!”

Then I understood that the Angels that were there, had come to usher in the flood waters and had come to co-labour with us for the Outpouring.

Then suddenly The Holy Spirit quickened to me Ezekiel 47 and I saw the waters of the River begin to Rise and all the Snakes that I saw — were being drowned!

Blessings to you all.

RB Footnote:

Veronika’s PS reference to snakes reminds me of a dream of about 30 years ago when upon seeing an adder slither through a garden and I warned a church house group leader. Then the dream changed to an office location but my desk was the old-style school desk where its sloping top acted as a lid, which I lifted only to see a nest of writhing snakes! Next, I walked to a side office and the church associate pastor handed me a dinner knife as I entered and saw two medical operating tables with a large snake strapped down on each. Both looked as though they’d swallowed a large egg and then I moved to slit open the nearer one’s throat – but awoke!!

The Tomb, womb, eclipse and earthquake; divine revelation – Veronika West

This night vision given to Veronika speaks into the insight I gained from Apostle Peter’s reference (and confirmed again during Easter Sunday service) to the spiritual change in Jesus upon His death and entombment, as in Scripture on post-mortem Jesus… :

‘..I checked BibleGateway’s Verse Of The Day (1Peter 3:15) and then read its source chapter, where Holy Spirit opened up an insight. In reading chapter 3 in my Bible I got well and truly ‘hit between the eyes’ by verse 18 :

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,..

Obviously, we all know dead bodies are not alive, BUT Jesus had become truly alive in His own spirit and thus, The ‘firstborn from the dead’ – Col 1:18, Heb 12:23, Rev 1:5 !!

Continuing from how the audio-visual impressions I sensed on 10th March relating to a prophetic word (see Footnote to “This is That!”) were also confirmed immediately by a God-incidence of the change in Jesus from earthly death to spiritual life and my insight.’

As in His Kingdom Prophecy shown above, our dear sister writes (my underlines):

“This is a Dream that has many prophetic layers to it, that can speak to a number of things but for now I will only share and submit the aspects that I believe are absolutely necessary for the purpose of Prayer in this hour.

So, I had a powerful Dream early hours of the morning, (March 30 — 30/3) and I woke from this Dream encounter at 3:33 (which I believe is prophetically significant)!

Ezekiel the Watchman for Israel
“1Son of man, speak to your people and tell them: 2‘Suppose I bring the sword against a land, and the people of that land choose a man from among them, appointing him as their watchman, 3and he sees the Sword coming against that land and blows the ram’s horn to warn the people…4then if anyone hears the sound of the horn but fails to heed the warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.” Ezekiel 33:1-4.

THE DREAM:

So in the Dream, I was standing in a strange place in the realm of The Spirit, a place where the fragrance of Sweet Oil and Spices filled the atmosphere.

Now as I Stood in this place, I immediately began to pray, and I heard these Words as a gentle whisper, “The Tomb was a Womb that brought forth Resurrection Life and Light into the deep Darkness!”

On hearing those Words, I knew, I was standing in an Ancient Tomb, which was likened to me as a (Womb) deep within the realms of Creation.

But I also knew in the Dream, that I was about to be shown something that would take place over The Nations in the coming days.

I knew by the Spirit of Revelation, that this place I was in was where the Sound of all of Creation can be heard groaning — where all of Creation listens and responds to the Words of the Great Creator — and a place where what is Decreed and Declared by the Sons and Daughters, is built and established in the Spirit and made manifest in the Earth Realm!

A place where the Words of Life and Death are birthed by the Power of our Tongues. This was a place where Life and Death over Nations was determined by the Prayers and Proclamations of The Saints!

I knew, that I had been taken to this place, and into this Sacred Place to begin to Govern and Legislate through Intercession, and that I was to begin to Decree and Declare Life, Light and Freedom over the Nation of America and The Nations of the Earth.

This was a Place where the Mantles of Governmental Power and Authority Change the Course of Nations!

Now, as I stood in this powerful place, which was surrounded by a deep darkness, it was so dark that not even a glimpse of light could be seen.

But there was No Fear in this place — but only The Spirit of The Fear of The LORD rested in that place.

I could feel a great weight of the Glory of The LORD round-about me, and a strange sense of Anticipation and Expectation began to rise within my Spirit, when suddenly, my eyes caught the tiniest glimmer of light beginning to break through the darkness of that place (Tomb/ Womb).

And as a glimmer of light began to break through the deep darkness, I stepped a little closer in the Dream, and the light began to get brighter and brighter, and then a small circle of light began to appear and started coming towards me.

Now as I kept watching in the Dream, I saw the small circle of Light become a very large and distinct Ring of Fire, that only became more and more intense!

And I heard these Words, ”The Year of the Open Door, the Year of the Tomb that will speak of Judgement and the Year of the Womb that will Speak Birthing!”

On hearing those Words, suddenly the Dream shifted and it was as if I was now watching the coming Solar Eclipse that is happening over America.

But as I kept watching, suddenly, a great and violent Shaking began to happen in the Dream, and I felt the ground beneath my feet beginning to move and shift, and the ground moved with such violence that I felt as if I was standing on Water and I could feel the Waves of the Sea swirling beneath my feet!

In that moment, I knew by The Spirit that a great Earthquake was going to suddenly take place on the Earth, and so I immediately began to Pray.

I went into deep and fervent intercession in the Dream, as I knew that a great Earthquake was coming to The Nations and that the Waters of the Sea would be violently stirred up and that great devastation and destruction would come if I did not begin to pray.

Now, as I cried out for The Nations, I heard these Words, ”Cry Mercy! Mercy!

For Mercy is the tap-root of the Foundations of Covenant Nations!

I say: Cry Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!”

And then I heard these Words, ”Watch!” and there was a violent Earthquake — for an Angel of The LORD came down from Heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it!

Now as I heard those Words, the Spirit of Revelation showed me, that I was not just being shown a Solar Eclipse as the moon moves between the earth and the sun — but I was also watching and being shown as a sudden Earthquake took place, as The Angel of The LORD came down and the stone was being rolled away from the entrance of the tomb!

Friends, In this strange Dream, again I knew by Revelation that what I was watching and being shown was not just “Two Historical Events Unfolding!”

One that has already taken place — but one that was yet to take place!

I was being shown powerful and prophetic parallels that demanded my full attention.

I was being shown Two Events that were intertwined with one other, in their both their Spiritual and Prophetic Significance!

I was being shown a Prophetic Timeline for the purpose of Prayer and Intercession for the Days ahead.

I was being shown an Ancient Tomb and a Womb — a Place of Death — and yet a Place where Life and Light bursts forth!

I was being shown a sudden and great Earthquake — that would violently Shake the Nation and that would bring many Nations to their knees in one day!

Friends, listen! I hear a Clarion Call for the Ecclesia — the Governing Sons and Daughters of God — to arise and begin to Legislate through Prophetic Decrees and Declarations — to fervently seek His Face in this Hour in True Repentance — and to begin to cry out for Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!

And to cry out that God would Remember His Covenant!

Friends, this Dream comes as a powerful reminder of the Spiritual Battle that is raging over the Destiny of Nations — a Battle that is taking place in the heavenly realms for the Birthright and Allotted Kingdom Inheritance over Nations, and the importance of our Prayers and Intercession in this critical time.

We are called to be Watchmen on the walls, to stand in the gap for our Nations and cry out for Mercy in the face of Judgment.

Lastly, let us heed the call to fervent Prayers of Repentance on behalf of our Governments and Nations, to seek The Face of The LORD, and stand in the Authority He has given us as His children.

Let us declare Life, Light, and Freedom over our Nations, knowing that our Words have the Authority and Power to change the course of History.

As we face the days ahead, let us remember that we serve a God of Mercy and a Covenant Keeping God, a God Who hears the cries of His people and responds with Grace.

Let us stand firm in faith, knowing that even in the darkest of times, His light will shine through and bring forth resurrection life.

May this Dream serve as a Rallying Call for us to come together in Unity and Prayer, to lift up our voices and hearts to The LORD, and to declare His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

For in Him, we have the Power to overcome every trial and tribulation, and to see His glory revealed in ways we never thought possible.

Let us be bold, let us be strong, and let us be faithful in our Prayers and Prophetic Declarations.

For we are called for such a time as this, to be the light in the darkness, the hope in the despair, and the love in the midst of chaos.

Our prayers matter, our voices matter, and our faith matters.

Let us rise up and let us stand together in the Power and Authority of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…

Note:

Date of Dream 30/3 & Time of Dream 3:33 Ezekiel 33:3 !

“When he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people,” Ezekiel 33:3.

Prophetic Parallel — Solar Eclipse — Stone Rolled Away!

The Rolling away of the Stone (Stone representing the Moon) and the Bright Light that was Breaking forth into the deep darkness was the Sun — Son (The Light of the world; The Resurrected Son coming forth from the darkness of the tomb!).

Blessings to you all.

RB FOOTNOTE:  I believe Veronika’s dream bears a connection and similarity with the ecstatic prophecy “This Is That!” received by Rachel Miranda Emerson, as well as with a certain End-time message and visions received by modern Catholic mystics!

Ezekiel 37 End-times Church Army – Chris G Bennett (GPS 100)

Posted on by

No such thing as ‘coincidence’. Being focused upon what I’m hoping to publish on this full blog-day (BUT other items popped up!) I hadn’t got around to visiting Facebook as there was message on Telegram to attend and then copy screen-grabs of news on my browser tabs and get into drafting the previous two posts (along with ‘live’ PS!). After posting them I shared with my Prophecy Validations channel direct but had to log into my Facebook, only to behold on its home-screen my Facebook friend Chris was also into Ezekiel. AND his having written a few hours earlier put us in numerical sequence of the OT prophet’s ‘chapters’: 


Ezekiel 37 – Another Reminder of Reviving the Army of God here on Earth

I was back with Ezekiel, in chapter 37 – the valley of dry bones. I envisioned the whole chapter – the prophetic call to the bones to become men again, the rattle of bones coming together, the sight of muscles, sinews, organs, and skin forming, All followed by this great army standing to its feet.

That was it for a few moments. This vast army was just stood there, motionless, blank expressions on their faces. Basically whole, but lifeless. The Lord interrupted by saying, “Does this not remind you of much of My church? A mighty but toothless, weaponless, directionless army – no leadership, no plan, nothing but an empty shell!”

I wanted to weep at the pitiful state of His Bride, but the Lord had more to say. “Do you think they can be revived?“, He asked. I repeated Ezekiel’s words, “Lord, only you know?” Then the Lord said to me, “YOU blow on them! YOU prophesy to the breath!”

I was a bit taken aback. “Me, Lord?” “Yes, YOU!”

So I blew, and I called for the breath of God, the Ruach of Holy Spirit, to enter once again into this army that is the Church. I felt to wind blow past my face. It was quite strong and tugged at my clothes. It got stronger and louder, rather like a breezy day on a hilltop or cliff-top. The army started to stir, they started to make a noise. The noise became a mighty shout, almost a roar!

Then I noticed something else, something not as per Ezekiel’s account. Only a relatively small part of the army was revived!

Row upon row remained in a comatose state, unmoving, silent, expressionless. “Lord”, I shouted over the din, “Lord, look only part of the army has responded, some need more breath!”, and with that, I started blowing again, prophesying again, trying to revive the whole army.

The Lord spoke quietly to me. “Only some will ever answer the call. Only some will ever return to their first call, their first love. Some have wandered too far to come back now. This that is alive is the Remnant that I have spoken about for so long. The rest have chosen the wider path, the easier road, the wrong way!” Then He added, “As with Gideon’s army, it is sufficient! Call them together and watch how I will use even these few mighty warriors.”

Then I watched as this remnant army was armed by the Lord. Some weapons I knew and recognised, but others were new to me. I felt the Lord smiling as His End-time army came into battle formation – suddenly surrounded by the heavenly host, the fiery horsemen and chariots of Israel. I felt as if I knew how Elisha’s servant felt at Dothan – awestruck!

The vision closed with the Lord saying, “Encourage My army. Breathe life into them. Speak to the bones once again, and watch Me revive My church in every nation. Tell them once again – the Lord is coming, the Lord is coming, He is bringing resurrection Life and the hope of eternity with Him. Do not be afraid. Be of great courage. The Lord is coming – revival is at hand !”

Hallelujah – Glory to God \o/

Footnote – our chat:

RB: LOL have just blogged on Ezek 38-39, sooo think we’ve got confirmation dear Chris.
Richard Barker the amazing thing Richard is that we appear to be in union but we virtually never know what the other is going to post! It must be Holy Spirit talking to both of us! Hallelujah.  Chris G Bennett yes indeed as I only noticed when logging into Fbk after working on WPress after corresponding on Tgm when gathering news. – EVEN FUNNIER, obviously intend re-publishing yours as an immediate follow-on. Do I refer to it as another piece of the the invisible jigsaw coming by God’s GPS? In which case it’s number 100 !!!

So, this totally unplanned post is not only another ‘God-incidental’ example of the Lord’s invisible jigsaw pieces falling into place, or as we’re being metaphorical it’s also another example of Holy Spirit’s Global Prophecy Signals – possibly significant in being 100th!

Challenged by ‘liberal’ Christians on terrorist barbarity – Neil Mackereth’s and Sir Mick Davis’ responses

Posted on by

I’m struck in catching up with my dear friend’s email along with an op-ed in my daily newspaper, as follows:

‘Hi Richard,

I am being challenged by some “liberal” Christians who appear to be suggesting that parts of the Bible are morally unacceptable. I thought you might be interested in my response.

I can fully understand why many Christians are finding it difficult to know how to react, as we watch the horrors on the news each day. The behaviour of secular Israel is obviously very challenging, and that is not new!

“I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions. And wherever they went among the nations they profaned my holy name, for it was said of them, ‘These are the Lord’s people, and yet they had to leave his land.’ I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone. “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes. ‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land”. Ezekiel 36:19-24 

This scripture is very significant, particularly for those who wonder why God would re-establish and watch over the mainly secular state of Israel. It is because He said He would. It is for His name’s sake (for the honour of His name). The Abrahamic Covenant is an everlasting covenant, which God will fulfil, not for the sake of His unruly people Israel but to show the world He is God, His name is holy, and He always honours all He has promised.

Notwithstanding what we see happening, if we believe Scripture, and truly want to align with God’s word, we must “Bless and do not curse Israel” (Numbers 23: 19-20; 24: 9). “Comfort My people” (Isaiah 40:1-2); Christ will judge nations on the basis of their treatment of Israel (Joel 3: 1-2).

We also know that all Israel will be saved; that is, the remnant whom God has chosen (Romans 9.27) – I attach some further comments on Romans. [RB next post]

Some further notes:

Re-gathering to the land of Israel does not mean there will be peace (Jeremiah 30:3-7); Israel is unique (1 Chronicles 17:21); A special treasure to God, a kingdom of priests, a holy nation (Exodus 19:5-6); Entrusted with the oracles of God (Romans 3:1-2).

That is probably enough! The fact is, it is an oxymoron to suggest that Bible-believing followers of Jesus can pick and choose which bits of Scripture they will accept and which they will reject.

Blessings to you and to Nina, may the Lord strengthen and encourage you both at this critical time.

Neil, 15th November

Sir Mick Davis is a former chief executive of the Conservative Party and former Chairman of the Jewish Leadership Council. He writes in The Telegraph yesterday: 

‘…Losing friendships is distressing, but nothing compared to watching raw footage of the October 7 massacres at a London screening I facilitated. The crimes, many filmed by Hamas terrorists, show humanity at its lowest. Purveyors of sickening terror joyfully invoke God’s name while bringing death and defilement to His creatures.

Any opinion that ignores or downplays Hamas’s evil is disconnected from reality and has nothing to offer the search for peace. Yet some deny or cast doubt on these barbaric acts. They justify or “explain” them. Others, like my friend, condemn the atrocity of October 7 when pushed before then condemning Israel’s response. They emphasise “context”, with the apparent implication that Israel had it coming. As if killing parents in front of children, using a severed head as a football, rape, and parading and defiling corpses is an inevitable, reflex reaction to Israeli actions! [Emphasis RB]

Context is indeed important. Here is some: Israel hasn’t occupied Gaza since 2005. Hamas brutally controls Gaza and has attacked Israeli civilians time and again. Israeli measures to contain this terror are painful for Gazan people and open to strong debate. But the terror precedes the response, not the other way round… (continue reading)

He closes, ‘But I am struck by an unpleasant realisation: my friend can choose not to talk to me when our world views and moral compass diverge. But Israel does not have that luxury.’

Ezekiel’s ‘Gog-Magog’ prophecy revisited – Chris Moyler

Posted on by
Reply

Upon forwarding Part 3 of Neil Mackereth’s article to my friend Chris Moyler’s Telegram, he takes time to make the following valuable response:

“Dear Richard,
Thank you for sharing Neil’s article. I don’t question his sincerity, but I do wish to strongly reject any notion that the Gog-Magog war of Ez 38 might soon be upon us.

To quote from Neil’s article:

“This is a very critical time in the history of modern Israel. I believe that decisions made in the next few days will determine whether the Gog and Magog war (Ezekiel 38) is precipitated or if, alternatively, there will be a victory of sorts in Gaza followed by a period of peace. The latter may seem the more attractive outcome; however, there is no doubt that the Gog and Magog war is coming.”

Re-reading Ez 36-39 this week, I am increasingly reminded of the powerful truth that Israel’s restoration is NOT primarily dependent on her faithfulness to the LORD!

Yes, the LORD has always kept for himself a righteous remnant within the Jewish people. Sometimes this remnant burns very bright. Sometimes the remnant is a flame so small it can be barely seen. But the LORD NEVER allows the flame of his firstborn don (sic) among the nations to be extinguished!

I am presently beginning to gather thoughts and scriptures around this important theme, but let us remind ourselves that Israel has survived numerous attempts to wipe her out.
These have all failed and they will CONTINUE to fail.

IMO, those of us who love biblical prophecy, and who love Israel, need to understand far more deeply the LORD’s profound commitment to her full and complete restoration.

For now, let us remember passages like Deut 3:19

“Now therefore write this song and teach it to the people of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the people of Israel.

The actual song is Deut 32. This song is all about Israel’s unfaithfulness contrasted with God’s faithfulness. It concludes with Deuteronomy 32:43

“Rejoice with him, O heavens;
bow down to him, all gods,
for he avenges the blood of his children
and takes vengeance on his adversaries.
He repays those who hate him
and cleanses his people’s land.”

Again and again, throughout the entire Bible, we see Israel’s unfaithfulness and weakness and yet the LORD ALWAYS comes through for her. His covenants within her can NEVER be broken, they are eternal.

Therefore we read these promises: Continue reading →

Ezekiel’s ‘Gog-Magog’ prophecy revisited – ‘Stop Press!’ on Part 3!

Posted on by
Reply

Neil Mackereth’s Part 3 of The Existential Threat to Israel must be so powerful it caused my printer to jam and stop working… a real STOP PRESS!!  After working at a desktop screen it’s always easier to read hard-copies of long articles, and so upon its receipt I wanted to peruse Neil’s latest at leisure over an afternoon ‘cuppa’ – BUT LOOK, it’s too powerful to print!

My printer seized up! The previous sheet had emerged with bent corner, but Neil’s item got solidly jammed – and ripped on both sides. Once cleared, it works normally!!!

In the mid-1980s I knew hardly anything about Bible prophecy when presented with two  jigsaw-pieces, a book and TV documentary. What I saw directly related to what Ezekiel heard from the Lord prophesying an attack upon Israel led by ‘Gog’ and ‘Magog’.  Since beginning to write upon End-times 15 years ago, I’ve posted news occasionally on the Gog-Magog alliance but over double on events relating to Iran.

Upon the 7th October Atrocity of utter demonic depravity I suspected Iran’s supportive direction if not direct involvement, which is becoming apparent not only through attacks by its hezbollah and houthi proxies but also by public announcements. So I posted The very first two jigsaw-pieces of my ‘Invisible Jigsaw’, Israel and Iran, citing its president. Around that time prophet Tomi Arayomi brings the Lord’s confirmation that “hamas is Iran’s patsy”!

AND it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Iran is directing attacks on those other two fronts before Israel has to decisively remove hezbollah’s rockets throughout Lebanon.

As a retired high-ranking army officer Neil Mackereth considers Israel’s options to deal with and defend itself from such heinous evil and possible outcomes.  Thus, along with latest news he tentatively considers the Gog-Magog prophecy and concludes:

“Undoubtedly, one of Satan’s objectives, in his attempts to undermine God’s redemptive plan, is to stop the fulfillment of Biblical End-times prophecy. To that end, he is seeking to annihilate all Jews so that Jesus has no Jewish Kingdom to which to return and rule. The Bible shows that he will fail.

“We may appear to be in an unstoppable downward spiral to disaster, but God’s plans will not be thwarted. It has never been more important to understand the signs of the
times, watch for the fulfillment of prophecy, and to be ready. JESUS WILL RETURN.
Halleluiah!”

IRAN’S INVOLVEMENT

Now, however, look at more pointers to Iran’s active role as Gog-Magog principal nation along with ‘Gog’ Russia in the present-day, not necessarily precisely as prophesied by Ezekiel – in reverse chronological order:

NO SUCH THING AS ‘COINCIDENCE’!!

William Koenig’s homepage this morning reports official celebrations of the birth of the State of Israel and developments in ‘Gog-Magog’ alliance, foretold in chapters 38 and 39 of prophet Ezekiel’s book. To read linked reports visit World Watch Daily.

Father, let Your Kingdom come! – 3 September 2011

Preamble: Further to “I will lead you into restful green pastures and guide you along paths of righteousness.” (see Apologies to my readers...) and Mary Wren’s vision of landscape beyond heaven’s door and building of new structures (The Time we are living in…), I’m re-publishing this dream vision I had that relates to a word brought by Bill Johnson for the UK:

The following email submitted details of a dream I had in early September 2011. It has been weighed by the senior leaders of Winchester Vineyard Church and forwarded to Christen Forster, organiser of the Revival Alliance Gathering.

A number of elements in that dream, which happened concurrently with the event, are related not only to foundational scriptures for lead-in prophecies given in November 2010 but also to activities in the heavenlies at the time of the Gathering, as well as possibly indicating what may be about to happen soon in the UK.

Christen agreed to the dream being posted upon the Revival Alliance Gathering website as Feedback under Prophecies & Testimonials.  [2016 update: links no longer available but details may be read in the update below.]

Here’s the full email:

Email to Christen Forster,  Monday, September 19, 2011                                          Subject: Revival Alliance Gathering, Westminster, London 1-3 Sept 2011

YOUR KINGDOM COME
Nina and I had booked early for the Gathering but were unable to attend. Yet I’m grateful the Lord gave the following on Saturday before the day’s meetings started:

Sat 3 Sept:                                                                                                                     

We are in an open-plan, modern office environment overlooking a town centre. Upon glancing out of one side’s extensive windows I’m amazed to see a large white cube flying very low over nearby buildings! (It’s about the size of a Hercules transport plane.) Watching, I see a few more similar cubes follow and fan out in different directions.

Then I go to look from a different quarter’s aspect to see where they’re coming from and am surprised this view is from a much higher floor and looking over a different location! I notice a couple of cubes hover and discharge some cargo, which floats down to settle on the ground – rather as furniture vans deposit items outside a house.

However, I’m seeing into a room being set up, as though the building itself is invisible! A large wooden table and its several chairs are already there as white porcelain bathroom furnishings descend, but remain hanging in space!

In a flash I understand what’s happening and, without thinking, hear myself comment aloud, “They’re setting up The Kingdom!”

Someone else watching disparagingly quips, “Oh, that’s your perspective”.

Again I’m surprised by my immediate, unconscious retort, “I studied perception at Uni!” (ie. in physics and in psychology, and am thus making a well-informed comment.)

A sudden urgency comes upon me to dash home with this news. Jumping into a car I find my normal route out of the building diverted and a huge vehicle tries to collide with me. Dodging it I drive up a slip road onto a choked road but find this very basic car becomes seriously under-powered.

So I get out to walk yet find all hard paving has turned into lush green grass of wide-open meadows. The congested road’s gone and I’m sliding down a well-worn grass bank to then run, or move, much faster than I can really run across an hugely extensive area.

I head a few dozen feet above the land, as though in a glider, and some very large object or person rushes from the left to block my path. Unfazed, I deliberately collide into it and it smashes into oblivion without halting or affecting my movement.

On the nearby horizon an unusual low building looms into view but, as I approach this destination, the alarm clock goes off!!

An initial interpretation came with great excitement in view of several revival meetings this month. I believe the Lord gave the above heading for my note of this lucid dream.

All this needed weighing BUT I didn’t expect confirmation and more insights not only in connection with the Gathering itself but also with the prophetic word reported at the Gathering’s Inception Meeting in Nov 2010!

Sun 4 Sept:

At Winchester Vineyard Church’s briefing on Sunday evening one of the attendees described the repentance of leaders at the Gathering. My spirit leapt in knowing this connected into that dream’s bathroom furnishing! (It’s symbolic of cleansing through repentance and forgiveness.)

In the dream, the bathroom appeared after table and chairs were already in place, which may mean a meeting place with purpose and authority. Then came a personal insight spoken as though from Holy Spirit, indicating only those open to Him can perceive and understand the Kingdom. Also, whatever is being set up is not within an obvious structure but fully exposed to those with ‘eyes to see’. (Perhaps, church ‘outside the walls’?)

Only later did I realise why the dream is directly connected to the Gathering. That’s because the setting was in two offices in separate locations (Reading and Croydon) where I’d worked and which came under the authority of central Dept of Environment, then located in Marsham St, as is Emmanuel Church!  [The venue for the Gathering.]

Thus, I believe the dream’s meaning is relevant to the Revival Alliance Gathering being held in Emmanuel Church and to its proceeding out into the wider Church.

Incidentally, having noted the dream under the header ‘Your Kingdom Come’, I later learned that’s the same title of the following week’s healing service in Winchester led by the Gathering’s member absent in the Ukraine – Randy Clark!

Mon 5 Sept:                                                                                                        

Happened to ‘google’ Revival Alliance and discovered website about the Gathering and read its Inception Meeting’s Report and the associated prophetic word.  I was struck especially by the latter’s,

‘It is time to build a house for me to dwell in, God who even the heavens cannot contain, will dwell in a house whose walls are the Holy Spirit’.

That’s a near description of what was in the dream, for I could see as though through invisible walls into rooms. Even so, there was a definite sense of some kind of structure without my being able to ascertain its nature. Could this indicate the invisible power and work of Holy Spirit?

However, upon checking the quoted reference to Ezekiel 42:15-19 (details of the prophet’s vision of the temple) the translations to hand imply that the walls will be material, not immaterial. YET, the dream truly fits the scripture because, as Christen Forster explained to me: “ … in those verses you will see the word “side” (as in the King James), but the word is actually “ruach”, which is wind, spirit or breath. As the winds traditionally had four directions it has been made into “sides” in English. But more literally it says, “he measured the east wind” … hence Spirit.” [It is Strong’s number 7307, which cannot be construed as ‘wall’.]

A second item from the Report is suggestive of the dream’s closing half. It’s Tim Eldridge’s reference to Paul Revere’s preparation to alert an alliance and, hence, the urgency of spreading the news at top speed – his renowned Ride into American history

Thurs 8 Sept:                                                                                                              

Then came an intriguing connection to the 14 years break in revival activities in UK, and when re-starting work on the Temple in Jerusalem, as referred to in the Report and at the Gathering.

The Lord prompted me to dig into my library for a book, The Heart of The Temple.  Quickly, I spotted in the Foreword’s first page (by Jennifer Rees Larcombe):

“How did this passion for the Temple begin for you?”

“The seed was planted in my heart fourteen years ago”, she replied!!

PS: where else have we read about fourteen years? It was the period Apostle Paul spent in preparation before his missionary trips to the Gentiles (see Gal 1:11-2:2).

UPDATE 18 DEC 2017

In view of the original 2011 links’ non-functionality, I copied my papers onto this blog’s Prophecy Library, amending all entries accordingly. The Library summarises events as follows:

Sep’11 – RB dream: “They’re setting up the Kingdom!” and urgent release of its news, as recounted in ‘Father, Your Kingdom Come’.  See also October 2011 email Acceleration in Kingdom Activity. [A similar powerful dream of how mantles of anointing are becoming available from the Kingdom came to Revd Bob Mazeroski of New Life Church, Weirton, W Virginia in 2014, as reported here.  Full details in 5th Anniversary (2016) post follows resonant words and 2009’s “ALL about to be fulfilled” word in Pivotal Prophecies Now Coming Into Play. Dream confirmed in theme, location and timing.]

Bill J Credit BethelSep’11 – Bill Johnson: at the first Revival Alliance Gathering in the UK declared ,“We would look back at 1st Sept 2011 as the day things changed in the UK.” David Pike’s replete record in  Diebach-Welldigger’s Revival Alliance Meetings in Westminster  notes Bill then said it might take time for the impact of this day to be seen and felt across the nation, but gradually it would come. In his library of ‘Revival Prophecies for the British Isles’, Chris Welch noted him as saying, “There’s something about September 1st. I believe you can write it down…‘Everything changed September 1st 2011’….understand that a Kingdom perspective sees the oak tree as an acorn…I feel like it’s a prophetic word over this country: September 1st everything’s different.”

Sep’11 – Christen Forster: a Gathering organiser later reported Che Ahn had told him that, in all the time working with him, he’s rarely heard Bill make an apostolic pronouncement of such a kind. Christen wrote, ‘Bill’s prophetic word in September was a declaration of the start of the new day, the new wave, the new season. The wells don’t need unblocking any more, the water is flowing, we just need to carry their life and refreshment into the dry places. And every week I hear stories that confirm that word.’

Koenig’s Eye View  By William Koenig

Israel and Russia tensions significantly worsened

The biblical suspense has ratcheted up the past two weeks between Russia, Iran and Israel over the Ukraine.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has become something of a proxy battlefield for drones from Turkey and Iran. Ukrainian defense forces have made spectacular use of Turkey’s Bayraktar drones, which have become one of the hottest military products in the world, while Iran is (not very) secretly believed to be supplying Russia with its Mohajer and Shahed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Iran inks deal with Russia to supply them with ballistic missiles. Ukraine asked Israel for air defense help amid drone assault. Russia warned Israel from intervention after an anonymous senior Ukrainian official said that Israel was providing Ukraine with intel on Iranian drones being deployed by Russia. Israel’s Gantz stated they may provide Ukraine with rocket and drone alert systems. Israel relies on access in Syria to take out Iran weapon shipments. Moreover, Russia is not pleased with Israel discussing supplying much needed natural gas to European countries.

These events certainly bring attention to Gog and Magog alignments of Ezekiel 38 and 39 and whether Russia or Turkey is the lead nation in the Gog and Magog war with Israel.

Whilst considering today’s news and on the Gog-Magog alliance, as foretold in the Book of Ezekiel, here’s another update on Ukraine from expert analyst in that nation’s history and politics, Dr Pat Walsh…

drpatwalsh's avatar Pat Walsh

On 6 July President Putin made a significant speech intheKremlin’s St Catherine Hall. Putin was meeting with theleaders oftheState Duma andtheheads ofparty factions oftheFederal Assembly oftheRussian Federation. Here are the important sections of the Russian President’s speech:

“Theso-called collective West led bytheUnited States has been extremely aggressive towards Russia fordecades. Our proposals tocreate asystem ofequal security inEurope have been rejected. Initiatives forcooperation ontheissue ofmissile defence were rejected. Warnings about theunacceptability ofNATO expansion, especially attheexpense oftheformer republics oftheSoviet Union, were ignored. Even theidea ofRussia’s possible integration into this North Atlantic alliance, and good relations with NATO, apparently, seemed absurd toits members…

We are being told that we started thewar inDonbass, inUkraine. No, thewar was unleashed bythecollective West, which organised andsupported theunconstitutional armed coup inUkraine in2014, andthen encouraged andjustified genocide against thepeople ofDonbass. Thecollective West is thedirect instigator andtheculprit ofwhat is happening today.

If theWest wanted toprovoke aconflict inorder tomove ontoanew stage…

I copied this from Koenig’s World Watch Daily when booting up this pc and intended posting about Ezekiel 38 being still in play after dealing with top-priority tasks, only to find our dear sister has beaten me to ‘the draw’!

Great minds think alike – or more likely, Holy Spirit’s getting us ‘over target’!
