Triple validation of Jesus’ night-time visitation (Reprise per ‘212’)

Posted on by

In celebration of the previous post on The Rapture showing a published total of 4,212 I’m re-posting this one from my testimony and which explains the deep significance of number 212 in my utterly unexpected and blessed foretaste of Jesus’ return:

‘…but mercy (full of glad confidence) exults victoriously over judgement’ – James 2:13 (The Amplified Bible)

Quite some time was needed to gain a full understanding of that awesome visitation 33 years ago and being confronted by the absolute holiness of the Lord Jesus Christ. (On 13-14 September 1989.)

No wonder I was intensely convicted and suddenly knew personal judgement definitely IS TRUE!   As mentioned, I fully expected to take my last breath there and then and be dropped down into Hell.

It was a few years until I heard that “mercy triumphs over judgement” – yes indeed it does and thank you for being so gracious to me, my Lord. May it be similarly so for the multitudes who don’t yet know You.

That life-changing encounter used two personally intimate aspects of my life, unknown to any living soul, to grab my attention and thereby validate the experience as being real, not imaginary.  Even more amazingly, both validations are directly related to the 1st and 2nd Advents!  Thus, they could not but enhance my interest in End-Times that had begun only a few years earlier when reading The Invisible Hand (as described herein). Yet it took me 30 years for it to dawn upon me that when that happened I’d been given the first two pieces of an ‘invisible jigsaw’!!!

The First Advent was when Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea about two thousand years ago. Hence, the four weeks leading into Christmas are designated within the church calendar as Advent, and which start the church year. The Second Advent is coming soon and is expected to begin in the city of Jerusalem.

FIRST VALIDATION

I inwardly ‘knew’ that heavenly visitor was indeed Jesus Christ himself, and that His impressive swift descent was a foretaste of His promised return in all His glory.

The event reminded me of my favourite picture in mother’s Missal, or service book of the Roman Mass.  This gave the scriptures for Sunday services throughout the year together with a picture symbolising the theme for each service.  As a boy very keen on astronomy I’d been fascinated by the picture for the First Sunday in Advent. It depicted Jesus standing on the clouds over a burning earth in the midst of sun, moon and falling stars, telling of events before his Second Advent! Continue reading →

Invisible chains fall off – freed at last from satan!

Months after that night of destiny in 1989 I trashed my occult and New Age books, yet I kept some items that were very significant to membership in those occult brotherhoods. But very soon, troubles brewed up within my relationships. And they got worse, and worse. So I asked for prayer help and gathered all those remaining things, such as ritualistic items and pictures. Right at the peak of my trouble I heard an almost audible voice instruct me to…

“Burn what you’ve collected – NOW!”

Never, ever, would I have believed what was to happen next: Continue reading →

Triple validation of Jesus’ night-time visitation and my rescue

The validation referred to above came almost as unusually. On a healing retreat six years later, a minister told me God would show me something after lunch. Indeed He did for a lady whom I’d never met and was seated at my table confided after lunch that the Lord told her to show me something she greatly treasured.

It was a photo taken from an aircraft over a thunderstorm. When developed, the photo bore an image of Jesus Christ as though standing within the clouds. But the facial features were hazy; exactly like Jesus in my dream because I’d not seen His face!!  (I seem to recall hazy clouds at the foot of the image. This one shown is published by Bible Probe.)

My legs gave way upon seeing this photo as I couldn’t remain standing but had to drop down into a nearby chair! My companion, Yvonne, said I went so white she thought I was going to faint or fall. Continue reading →

33 years ago in night-battle in the heavens Jesus swoops down on me…!!!

Posted on by
Reply

Upon awaking on 14th September 1989, I was UTTERLY happy to find I’m still alive after having had such a very close call with death in the night!

The previous evening in Pangbourne, Berkshire, I’d firmly shut the door to hearing any more about God’s Good News! But that night had been spent at my childhood home at 212 E___ Rd, Stockport, Cheshire, to undergo a life-changing event.

In a most unusual dream I went back in time and space. A dream so lucid that even four decades later it remains vividly etched within me. Here’s what happened (copied from original with comments in italics, pls bear with close-type as too much formatting code to revise).:

A HEAVENLY VISITOR

‘I am in my childhood home and standing in front of the very tall casement window in one corner of the lounge. I look up into the inky, dark night sky outside.
‘A small flotilla of large, wingless aircraft drifts slowly across from left to right at high altitude and I groan, “Oh…not that flying saucer nonsense. I must be dreaming!”
‘I’m sceptical about the existence of UFO’s, but now another ‘fleet’ of some sort appears from the right and heads towards the first.
(The dream now changes gear by going up a level from the usual mix of mental material to that of absolute lucidity…)
‘The ‘light goes on’! In my ‘knower’, I realise the first fleet is demonic and the second is masses of angels under the command of Jesus Christ. (I did not believe in them, and regarded Jesus as one of many world teachers. Here, I see no individuals but inwardly know the situation.)
‘I think I’m about to watch an amazing heavenly battle…but…OH NO! Somehow, I now know Jesus has espied me far down below and is coming down directly towards me!
‘All I see is a distant bright light very rapidly getting brighter and larger as it drops down to my location, just like an airliner approaching a runway to land at night.
‘Instantly, I realise my life has been one of sin that contrasts starkly against Jesus’ own holiness. Right away I realise what’s claimed about the Judgement is true – but mine is about to happen right now!
Beyond any doubt whatsoever I suddenly realise my involvement in the occult was most definitely wrong. Consequently, I deserve the undesirable abode!
‘Groaning “My number’s up!” I inwardly tremble in fearful knowledge I’m about to die at any moment. An invisible trapdoor I’m standing on will drop me straight into Hell.
‘Utmost mortal terror strikes! I dive under the drop-leaf table by the wall to the left of the window so I can hide from Jesus. But he knows I’m hiding there and swoops down straight through the wall on the other side of the corner window. He’s standing in the room and right beside the table!
‘Cowering below the table with my back turned towards him, I glance over my shoulder and see him from the knees down, his body and face out of sight above the table.
‘Most unexpectedly, somehow I have the courage to reach my hand out backwards to grab at the hem of Jesus’ robe…
‘As I tug, the event goes into yet another level of revelation regarding my childhood…Then I awake! Thoroughly alert, further sleep eludes me!’

The dream reminds me of an evocative small picture that strongly impressed me when a child – the return of Jesus Christ:

Later I understand that my terror had been ‘the fear of God’ brought by Holy Spirit’s convicting me of my personal wrongdoing and, thus, preparing me to receive God’s grace (ie. undeserved favour).

Also, what happened after reaching for Jesus, and which I’ve yet to tell, proves He’s so closely acquainted with my intimate thoughts when a boy. The dream’s conclusion shows He’s going to topple those childish concepts and replace them with a sure knowledge of His true identity.

“The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love” (Psalm 111). Mercifully, He plucked me from the domain of darkness to bring me into His own kingdom and receive its blessings. I deserved none of that. Truly, Amazing Grace – how awesome and wonderful..!

As a result of the most remarkable dream I’d ever had, I was left with no choice but to seriously reconsider all my New Age and occult notions. Meditational and mystical exercises had resulted in my having some unusual, ‘psychic’ dreams, but none whatsoever like this one.

The only one remotely similar was that of being in an ‘altered’ state of consciousness known as ‘nirvana’, or bliss, but where I’d been taken behind its alluring golden light. Sheer ecstasy turned to abject terror as the light I was in got swept aside like a curtain being removed to reveal a hideous, devouring beast of utter blackness approaching me – far, far worse than any nightmare!

I wasn’t into drugs but was ignorant of the scripture ‘satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light‘ (2 Cor 11:14). Upon reading that verse years later, I realised its truth had been dramatically demonstrated to me as a non-Christian!

But in this new dream my terrifying fear had been overcome by Jesus Christ Himself and His wonderful mercy and love. He ‘arrested’ me in my sin only to rescue me from falling into the pit of Hell.

In this stunning night the Truth I’d been searching for since a teenager turned up in Person – thank You Lord. And lots more Truth was to come as I began to open the door to His Good News!

Moreover, this amazing encounter was yet to be validated on three occasions!!!

So, if you don’t yet know Jesus Christ and have a personal relationship with Him, you may wish to know more and consider this vital matter at Do You Know Jesus?

Searching for ‘Truth’ leads me into captivity

A reprise from 2013 for background to my upcoming prayer for my contemporary, the then heir to the throne: Charles the Prince of Wales:

Me 1962

1962, age 14 years, at my Aunt Jenny’s house in Leicester

The intellectual freedom of higher education in the ‘swinging 60’s’ enabled me to break loose from the values of my parents and their generation. Even so, I recognised their values had enabled them to come through the destruction and deprivation of the Great Depression, World War and post-war Britain austerity with great fortitude.

As outlined in “You Shouldn’t Be At Our School!”, a formative influence upon a child of the post-war ‘baby boom’ was the disharmony and hypocrisy between churches. In my mind it tarred all Christians with the same brush and badly reflected upon the God they believed in.

Nevertheless, when a child I’d once thought it must have been awesome to have been around Jesus and seen everything He said and did.

Also, two verses from Sunday Mass got embedded into my brain and, although buried in the unconscious, they never got overwritten. One was of Jesus telling his disciples they’d do even greater works than He was doing! The other was by someone who’d been with Jesus, and who surmised: If everything He’d done was written down there wouldn’t be enough room in the world to contain the books! [John 14:12 and closing sentence of that Gospel.]

In view of that eye-witness account and churches’ misrepresentation of their founder, I became convinced a lot of what he’d taught had been lost, or even suppressed, by the early church. Continue reading →

10th Anniversary of Richard’s Watch

Praise and thank The Lord The Almighty for His continual goodness, gracious mercy and favour

Ten years ago today I ventured into the public realm of blogging by launching Richard’s Watch as a way of informing people about how current events are foretold in Bible prophecy. Soon it would also cover contemporary prophetic words and visions

I’d already been updating personal friends about End-times by email since February 2009 as a result of having ‘heard’ upon opening my Bible, “This is ALL about to be fulfilled!”. (Details are in my very first email The End-game Is In Play.)

My decision to start writing was confirmed by a visiting prophet. However, around the time of dreaming about the Kingdom being set up and learning it relates to a prophetic word Bill Johnson brought on a change in the Church in the UK, as recounted here, I was getting increasing nudges to start a  blog.

Therefore, to celebrate this 10th anniversary I thank you personally for visiting and wish to welcome you, especially if you’re a regular reader, as in my very first post below: Continue reading →

The Bible’s Author opens it to answer my ‘newbie’ questions

Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus, ‘For I always pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him by having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), and [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when raising Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], far above all rule and authority and power dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come…. [Eph1:17-21, Amplified Bible. We decree that the blindness be removed from the eyes of all the peoples of this land so they may see Jesus Christ is Lord.]

IN CELEBRATING MY BIRTHDAY TODAY I THANK GOD FOR MY EARTHLY AND EXTERNAL LIVES 

Lord, help me love everyone,even wrongdoers, with Your awesome, gracious undying love

Life-changing as my ‘rescue’ was in that dream-visitation on 14th September 32 years ago, I did not want to rush off to church. The event’s effect and ramifications upon my philosophy of life needed careful consideration. For example, I needed to check out widespread claims of the Bible having been compiled and modified by Church councils in the 4th Century after Christ, as well as learn about its history from authoritative sources. [Prof F.F. Bruce’s The Books and The Parchments (1991) was very helpful, especially about the ‘Muratorian Fragment’. Drawn up in late 2nd Century in the church at Rome, it lists practically all the canonical New Testament literature.]

So not only did I need to assess those personal implications, but also as possibly a new believer in Jesus Christ I wanted to find well-informed believers who take Him seriously. I soon did so, but then needed to put their claims of hearing direct from God to the test. After all, they believe we have a relationship with Him and so we have but to ask… Continue reading →

Triple validation of Jesus’ night-time visitation and my rescue

‘…but mercy (full of glad confidence) exults victoriously over judgement’ – James 2:13 (The Amplified Bible)

A little time was needed to gain a full understanding of that awesome visitation over 13-14th September ’89, when I got confronted by the absolute holiness of the Lord Jesus Christ in contrast to my personal sinful nature. No wonder I was intensely convicted and suddenly knew personal judgement definitely IS TRUE! So I fully expected to take my last breath there and then as an invisible trapdoor would open up in the floor and drop me down into Hell.

It was a few years until I heard that “mercy triumphs over judgement” – yes indeed it does and thank you for being so gracious to me my Lord. May it be similarly so for the multitudes who don’t yet know You.

That life-changing encounter used two personally intimate aspects of my life, unknown to any living soul, to grab my attention and thereby validate the experience as being real, not imaginary.  Even more amazingly, both validations are directly related to the 1st and 2nd Advents!  Thus, they could not but enhance my interest in End-Times that had begun only a few years earlier when reading The Invisible Hand (as described herein).

Holy Spirit in action: 3 more ‘double-portions’ validate and fulfill Veronika’s prophetic word (GPS #59.3)

Don’t you love how Holy Spirit works in and through us to encourage one another in Jesus? It’s so immensely encouraging AND for the second day running the first thing on my blog’s unread comments is a reader’s remarkable account, as below, and just like happened yesterday (as blogged), brings news that directly plugs into whatever I’ve been or am working on.

So the brief word Veronika brought mid-week a fortnight ago gets validated yet again – like yesterday when Tim Shey confirmed my musing upon scripture and what I’m soon to post!

(Note my intro to Prophetic Visions-words Shared by Veronika West – 5: Double Doses of God-incidents, “Yet again dear Veronika hits the target with this yesterday and after blogging this morning on Time I can confirm its bulls-eye accuracy! AND I hadn’t realised until a friend drew it to my attention when I’d finished…“)

This morning ‘Seeing Like The Eagle’ (who blogs at EagleSight) comments upon The Remnant is Awakening at the same time we were reading a specific meditation:

“Thanks for this Richard. I received a word during a prayer vigil this week and the Lord referred to His remnant. I was pondering on why He had said that “His remnant” so your post is very timely. ”

I reply, “So marvellous and appreciate your sharing, and just like happened to me yesterday (as blogged). In our morning reading a few minutes ago we read about Holy Spirit in us doing such coordination” and close the comment.

BUT I keep getting ‘digs in my ribs’. So I add, “Wow again, as I recall not planning to blog anything about that topic but then I saw the posting and, being on WordPress is so quick and easy to share, I realised it’s just right. Hence my covering, introductory remarks.”

Here’s the reading I read out aloud at that time (and tomorrow’s is apposite too):

First Sunday in Advent

Yesterday, Sunday 29th November, not only marks the beginning of Advent but also is personally nostalgic because of the life-changing dream 31 years ago that brought a totally unexpected and radical encounter with Jesus Christ.

Freed at last from satan – my chains fall off!

To celebrate our wedding anniversary today and my birthday yesterday

Months after that night of destiny in 1989 I trashed my occult and New Age books, yet I kept some items that were very significant to membership in those occult brotherhoods. But very soon, troubles brewed up within my relationships. And they got worse, and worse. So I asked for prayer help and gathered all those remaining things, such as ritualistic items and pictures. Right at the peak of my trouble I heard an almost audible voice instruct me,

“Burn what you’ve collected – NOW!”

Never, ever, would I have believed what was to happen next:

Out in the backyard I piled those membership items onto an area of gravel and, putting a match to them, I sincerely repented.

Fanning the flames, I apologised deeply to God for all my past rebellious, sinful activity and specifically renounced satan and all evil connected with those occult associations.

As I asked God to forgive me, heavy invisible shackles suddenly dropped off my wrists!

I felt, and was, free, completely free – exactly as is jubilantly sung in Charles Wesley’s great hymn And Can It Be? 

WOW, from despair to jubilation within a split second!  What utter freedom!  Praise Him!

That hymn’s lyrics present the simple yet sublime salvation found in our Father’s good news about Jesus.

How aptly the third verse describes my personal situation and what had just happened – my wonderful liberation from invisible bondage to satan.:

1. And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Saviour’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?

Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God shouldst die for me?

2. He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace!
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race!

‘Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me.

3. Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night.
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray:
I woke the dungeon flamed with light!

My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

4. No condemnation now I dread:
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,

Bold I approach th’ eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

If you’re unfamiliar with Charles Wesley brother of the renowned evangelical founder of Methodism, John Wesley, read here about his equally famous influence as author of many well-known hymns; eg. Love Divine, all love’s excelling, Hark the herald angels…

Listen to one of the greatest hymns as broadcast some years ago in Songs of Praise,   thanks to Fabio Ramsay.:

I will rejoice in the Lord, I will exult in the victorious God of my salvation! (Hab 3:1)

To read my testimony in full go to Jesus Freed Me!  There, you’ll find an overview of my background, two life-changing divine appointments and how the Lord began to instruct me…all to HIS glory. May you be mightily blessed upon following the links therein…

I remain, your brother in Christ

Vision of Rock of Christ emerging from rotten fabric of UK society – 2004

Posted on by
Reply

It’s good to get ‘space’ for mental and spiritual chilling in a rare ‘quiet’ period preparing for a long-needed break BUT I see not a few items brewing up!  They connect into the satanic strategy behind what I was blogging upon last week, the others show the Lord’s strategy of reviving old prophetic visions and words, indicated through His ‘GPS’  (global prophecy signals). Giving proper precedence to the latter, here’s the first item, as told in this extract from my email of 18 August 2011 to church friends and a few leaders:

COMMENTS UPON THE COLLAPSE OF SOCIETY

(A Word received by Revd Dr Sharon Stone)

Dear Friends,

Further to circulating a word received through Lance Lambert on the eve of the London Riots (see email 9 August) and Dr Sharon’s insights 12 August (original email and link n/a but amended Oct 2016), I was reminded Billy Graham’s grandson is coming to stir the youth of Britain in late September.

(HA! Only after having inserted that line to precede my comments written below, have I  just noticed its title, Will Graham Set to Rock the UK, alludes exactly to the climax of the event I’m writing about….)

Personally, I’m encouraged that this word (through Revd Dr Stone) confirms the gist of an open vision that came at the opening of worship at the start of a conference in St Albans in October 2004.

Before me I ‘saw’ a map of Britain surrounded by the sea, as though painted on rotten sacking – like old, wet coal-sacks I’d seen in my youth. It seemed the Lord was saying the fabric of our nation’s so rotten He could tear it apart easily. 

This ‘map’ then began to rip apart in the middle, from about the line of Hadian’s Wall down along the line of the Pennine chain to the Midlands, and I sensed the Lord say, “I’m going to put the backbone back in Britain”. (I recalled that the Pennines are known as the spine of England.)

But out of the tear arose a very long rock, which I understood as meaning the Lord would restore our strong, spiritual backbone when we stand upon Him, The Rock.

[Previously I’d noted, ‘Could the Lord be allowing increased persecutions here for the purpose of putting the spine back into Christians and making us stand up strongly?’… And Parliament has since been, and continues to be, thoroughly shaken and ripped open – do it to the media and elsewhere, Lord…Did you know that mounted, body-armoured police in Manchester interrogated a street preacher just because he was inviting people to an Easter service? Next, a hate-crimes unit visited him at home!!!]

It wasn’t so much the unexpected and unbidden nature of the event that startled me. It was because I thought I heard the Lord say that He would rip the nation apart as easily as an old sack because of its rotten nature!!  That troubled me for I considered such to be contrary to his loving nature. 

But NT scriptures do speak of judgement and He gives many repeated warnings of such impending action (eg. as given this month through Lance Lambert).  Yet, we must plead His remembrance of mercy and of Jesus’ sacrifice, through which comes the fullness of true blessing.  All rather a profound mystery.  Also, let’s not forget that the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD (Isaiah 11.2) were aspects of the Holy Spirit prophesied for the descendant of King David’s father Jesse: Jesus Christ. 

NB > the vision was soon offered to several church leaders for weighing, yet it evoked no response. However, upon our attending a prophecy school the next year (2005) at Bath, I submitted it to Dr Stone who immediately agreed its validity and called her ‘master-class’ to intercession!

2016 Confirmation: see Britain: Reformation Is Coming With Far Greater Glory.

2020 > LOL! LOL! LOL! Checking the links in this 9 years-old email still function I found Dr Sharon’s goes to The Elijah List AND shows in its Facebook ‘Like’ the name ‘Mabel Boyd’, who inspired me to republish this mini-series!!!  Wish I’d taken a ‘screen-shot’ as the name’s since changed upon my revisiting.

Visions of spiritual ‘atomic bomb’ confirmed by Emma Stark

Posted on by

I don’t get time to watch video links that folks kindly send me, but this one is highly recommended. So I suggest allocating an hour to watch and consider will be time well spent.

We’re not, admittedly, fans of American shows, BUT this one’s important. It was brought to my attention by a reader and contributor to this blog, Dave Hood, but being extremely busy I got to hear the early minutes only whilst tapping on my keys. Others mentioned it and I chatted about the first speaker’s claims with members of the Prophetic Releasers Fbk group, and so I intended taking time out to watch. But a couple of days later I got spurred into making it a priority, and the way that was done can only be of the Lord..!

In video conference for those interested in a new Catch The Fire church planned for Farnborough, its leader Christopher Bird drew attention to a vision we’d both had, and his wife Rachel added that Emma Stark of Glasgow Prophetic Centre had also had a similar one – and then referred to that video I’d yet to watch!

In fact, what Emma witnessed was the second confirmation in chronological sequence of the original vision a pastor in Reading, Berkshire, had 30 years ago. 

2ND CONFIRMATION OF VISION

Initially, the video caught my attention when Tracy Cook began talking about a dream two months ago about the suspicious source of ‘Chinese Flu’ and the subsequent world-wide Shaking. (I stopped there and didn’t hear the remainder.)

At 31:20 min mark Sid Roth tasks Emma for more of her thoughts on what we can do about the spirit of fear associated with this crisis; but first she qualifies her reply:

“I think a new breed of church is going to emerge and it’s going to be a post-Pentecostal and a post-Charismatic church; it’s not going to look like any version of church that we would say should be our ‘go-to’ aim. In actual fact, we’re going to enter the days of the Church of Holy Power, and that’s what’s going to be established at the end of this Shaking.

“Last year I was on my face in Africa in prayer, and I heard a bomb going off in the spirit realm. (Elsewhere, she describes it as a ‘terrifyingly awesome sound.’)  You know, I grew up in Northern Ireland so I’m used to hearing bombs in the natural. But this was a bomb in the spirit realm, and I said to God, “What have You done?”

He said, “Watch!” and the spray of this heavenly-sent bomb covered the entire globe and the spray started to land on the flesh of men and it started to have an effect on their skin and their skin started to melt and I said to God, “What are You doing” and He said,

“I’m making sure that it is not about one man, it is not about one ministry. I’m making sure that it’s not about ego. I’m making sure that I’m going to shake people so that all that is fleshly in them disintegrates. And on the back of that I will re-fire My Church with Holy Power.”

“And so when we actually come back to regather, we’re going to find churches move in a greater demonstration of the power of God than ever had before, but we have to deal right now with this fear situation…”

Emma proceeded with practical ministry for everyone – which briefly affected her too. To learn more about what had happened in South Africa last May read chapter two of this free book:

I now recall our first visit 6-7 years ago to the church pastor Bird had moved to, not too far from us. (Nina had witnessed the Birds’ prophetic gifting in action at a lady’s house group.) As worship started at that church I suddenly had an open vision of a huge flame of fire shoot out into the hall from above the small band. 

Some may recall Jigsaw Pieces Portray 27th June’s Significance in Prophecy in which I recount my own and pastor Bird’s experiences of a spiritual ‘atom bomb’, but didn’t have the finer details Emma brought. Here are those relevant ‘pieces’…

3RD CONFIRMATION (Pastor’s ‘atomic bomb’)

In referring to that conference at the start of Sunday’s service at FBC, Revd Christopher Bird described it as being like an “atomic bomb” in introducing theology students to the Holy Spirit’s practical, power ministry.  Now, he had my complete attention because I’d blogged about having seen one of those explode in a vision 27 years ago today, as told when inviting readers to February’s One Voice prophecy conference (Bringing the Glorious Word of the Lord to the Nation).

Maybe Chris was referring to my vision of golden rainfall and exploding atomic bomb, because I’d mentioned it in my email inviting him to the One Voice event?

Afterwards therefore, I asked Chris why he’d used those words and he said he’d seen a picture in his morning prayers that developed into an atomic explosion of God’s glory across our nation!  However, he apologised for NOT having read my email yet – and then thanked me because I was confirming what he’d seen that morning! Therefore, it must surely be a God thing!!

1ST CONFIRMATION (My vision and original)

In other words, Chris directly confirmed the vision I’d had as he hadn’t read my account from my first years as a new believer at Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist), which reads:

‘At a very early Pangbourne prayer morning on 27 June 1992 I saw “a waterfall of golden rain which became like a nuclear bomb but in reverse”. When I later told associate pastor David about this he expressed keen interest in view of the vision of liquid fire he’d previously seen over Tilehurst (ie. in 1980s).

‘What particularly impresses me about this picture was that the golden rain (flames?) suddenly condensed into a focal point and there followed a brilliant flash of light. In films of nuclear bombs I’ve seen, the immense flash was followed by fire.

‘Regret I’ve not got any relevant scripture for this but believe it may relate to TFC. Like that widespread ‘rain’, we’ve reverted into a more compact unit, or operation. Perhaps the next phase is for the Lord to ignite us into a powerful instrument, such that His light will go off like a mighty bomb.’

Subsequent considerations connected that vision to meetings held in late 1990s along the Thames Valley and prayers for God’s glory to flow through them into London.  Now however, as emphasised by this Hampshire minister, that glory explosion won’t be localised but will affect the whole nation!  But I was yet to learn of Emma’s ‘bomb’…

2004 Open Vision of Rock of Christ tearing through rotten fabric of British society

Posted on by

Previously posted under title Comments Upon The Collapse of Society, this is to draw your attention to an open vision and word from the Lord that shocked me profoundly, and which appears in blue text below. That the vision is proving true is evident from all the upheavals and descent into degradation of recent years, but we are beginning to see changes pointing to a re-emergence of desperately needed Christian values.

NOW, satan’s strategy of lying through its unwitting stooges is exposed but it is time for ALL Christians to stand upon the Rock that is Christ and, for the good our of nations, to speak out against its hatred and lies, as will be provided in the next post!!

Extract from pre-blog email circulated on Thursday 18 August 2011
Subject: Comments upon Word received through Dr Sharon Stone

Dear Friends,  Further to circulating a word received through Lance Lambert on the eve of the London Riots (see email 9 August) and Dr Sharon’s insights 12 August (original email and link n/a but amended Oct 2016), I was reminded Billy Graham’s grandson is coming to stir the youth of Britain in late September.

(HA! Only after having inserted that line to precede my comments written below, have I  just noticed its title, Will Graham Set to Rock the UK, alludes exactly to the climax of the event I’m writing about….)

Personally, I’m encouraged that this word (through Revd Dr Stone) confirms the gist of an open vision that came at the opening of worship at the start of a conference in St Albans in October 2004.

Before me I ‘saw’ a map of Britain surrounded by the sea, as though painted on rotten sacking – like old, wet coal-sacks I saw in my youth. It seemed the Lord was saying the fabric of our nation’s so rotten He could tear it apart so easily. 

This ‘map’ then began to rip apart in the middle, from about the line of Hadian’s Wall down along the line of the Pennine chain to the Midlands, and I sensed the Lord say, “I’m going to put the backbone back in Britain”. (I recalled that the Pennines are known as the spine of England.)

But out of the tear arose a very long rock, which I understood as meaning the Lord would restore our strong, spiritual backbone when we stand upon Him, The Rock.

[Previously I’d noted, ‘Could the Lord be allowing increased persecutions here for the purpose of putting the spine back into Christians and making us stand up strongly?’… And Parliament has since been, and continues to be, thoroughly shaken and ripped open – do it to the media and elsewhere, Lord…Did you know that mounted, body-armoured police in Manchester interrogated a street preacher just because he was inviting people to an Easter service? Next, a hate-crimes unit visited him at home!!!]

It wasn’t so much the unexpected and unbidden nature of the event that startled me. It was because I thought I heard the Lord say that He would rip the nation apart as easily as an old sack because of its rotten nature!!  That troubled me for I considered such to be contrary to his loving nature. 

But NT scriptures do speak of judgement and He gives many repeated warnings of such impending action (eg. as given this month through Lance Lambert).  Yet, we must plead His remembrance of mercy and of Jesus’ sacrifice, through which comes the fullness of true blessing.  All rather a profound mystery.  Also, let’s not forget that the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD (Isaiah 11.2) were aspects of the Holy Spirit prophesied for the descendant of King David’s father Jesse: Jesus Christ. 

NB > the vision was subsequently offered to several church leaders for weighing yet without any response! However, upon our attending a prophecy school the next year at Bath, I submitted it to Dr Stone who immediately agreed its validity.

Veronika West: the sands of time – supernatural acceleration

Posted on by

In just glancing over the following posted early this afternoon by Veronika, my spirit’s hit with excitement, doubtless because of my deep interest in Time and numbers, as retold in the intro to the republication of her visionary message of July 2019 for the year 2020:

“THE ANGELIC WATCHER OVER THE SANDS OF TIME, A GREATER GLORY AND A SUPERNATURAL ACCELERATION OVER THE GRAINS OF GOLD, THE SACRED WORDS WRITTEN UPON THE ANCIENT SCROLL WILL BE UNRAVELLED AND REVEALED”…!

Recently, I had a powerful spirit encounter that I feel led to share with you today..In this powerful visitation an Angel of the Lord appeared before me in a prayer meeting; the Angel did not speak but held in his hand a HUGE HOUR-GLASS, the sands within the glass looked like small grains of translucent GOLD and I knew immediately by looking at the grains I was seeing the GLORY OF THE LORD UPON AND WITHIN ‘TIME’…. and that each grain of TRANSLUCENT GOLD represented a grain of time gifted to the earth. Now as I looked at the gold grains falling, suddenly I saw a Whirlwind begin to form within the hour-glass and I watched as the winds of the Whirlwind caused the grains of gold within the hour-glass to be greatly stirred up….and like a mighty dust storm within the hour-glass the grains of gold filled the hour-glass, and a great swirling and whirling took place…,as I kept watching intently suddenly I noticed that the grains of sand within the glass seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, as more and more gold covered each grain…and so as I kept looking I saw that as the grains of sand got heavier and more radiant, so a DIVINE QUICKENING OVER THE SANDS OF TIME seemed to be taking place within the hour-glass and I watched as, the heavier the small grains of sand became, so the quicker the grains would fall…and I heard these words in the realm of the Spirit, “NOW A SUPERNATURAL ACCELERATION IS BEING RELEASED OVER THE SANDS OF TIME”…

…and then I heard the Spirit of Revelation speak saying, “THE WHIRLWIND OF THE SEVEN SPIRITS BLOWS UPON THE SANDS OF TIME, WATCH AND PRAY, FOR NOW A GREATER WEIGHT OF MY GLORY COMES UPON TIME….TIME, TIME, A DIVINE ACCELERATION HAS COME UPON THE SANDS OF TIME”..!

As I heard those words I again inquired of the Lord concerning the Angel and the assignment of His Messenger and the Spirit of Revelation answered me saying, “BEHOLD, A WATCHER, WHO CARRIES THE HOUR-GLASS OF THE SANDS OF TIME AND THE SACRED SCROLL OF THE SEASONS OF THE EARTH”…, as I heard the Spirit speak suddenly I saw the ANGEL lift up the HOUR-GLASS…and with both hands he turned the hour-glass onto its side and suddenly the two glass bulbs of the hour-glass separated and a GOLDEN SCROLL appeared in his hands which unravelled before me, but as I looked at the scroll I saw that it was not made of paper but of thin GLASS which seemed to have WORDS/WRITINGS DEEPLY ENGRAVED UPON IT…I tried to read what was written upon the glass but my eyes could NOT SEE CLEARLY…I could only see through the GLASS DIMLY, but then suddenly I saw fragments of gold begin to fall upon the writings on the glass scroll and at that moment I realised, that I what I was seeing was the GRAINS OF SAND WHICH CARRIED THE GLORY THAT WAS WITHIN THE HOUR-GLASS…(THE GOLDEN SANDS OF TIME) WERE NOW FALLING UPON THE SACRED WORDS THAT WERE WRITTEN UPON THE GLASS SCROLL…and as the GOLD GRAINS FELL UPON THE GLASS SO THE WORDS WHICH WERE ENGRAVED WERE BEING ILLUMINATED,…

and then suddenly, I heard these words, “NO MORE DELAY, NO MORE DELAY…THE TIME OF THE END, FOR THE SEVEN SEALS SHALL BE BROKEN, WATCH AND PRAY FOR MY GLORY SHALL FALL UPON THE SACRED WORDS WRITTEN WITHIN THE ANCIENT SCROLL”… as I heard those words the sound of a trumpet blast filled the atmosphere and I saw the FACE OF A LION APPEAR UPON THE GLASS SCROLL and then I heard the sound of the LION ROAR AND THE GLASS SCROLL WAS SHATTERED AND THE ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED BEFORE ME AGAIN HOLDING THE HOUR-GLASS AND I WATCHED AS THE GOLDEN SANDS OF TIME CONTINUED TO FALL, and then I saw the Whirlwind appear again within the hour glass and suddenly A RAINBOW APPEARED WITHIN THE WHIRLWIND, and as I looked at the Rainbow Whirlwind I saw the (7) Seven Eyes of the Seven Spirits and then I heard these words, “THE SEVEN EYES OF MY SEVEN SPIRITS WITHIN THE WHIRLWIND OF ELIJAH NOW MOVES UPON THE FACE OF THE NATIONS AND UPON THE HANDS OF TIME”.,!

PS: a little picture I drew to try and depict what I saw as the hour glass became a glass scroll in the hands of the Angelic Watcher.

RB’s Note:

The hour-glass turned onto its side, as sketched by Veronika, makes it the symbol for infinity!  Thus the Infinite realm of the Glory of God is tumbling into the sands of earth- Time. Also, it may indicate a time of birthing…
