Following on from the last little post pre general election in the UK then i thought i'd just post something post election.
As a little recap going back 5 years to March 2010 God originally spoke to me and said that there would be a Hung Parliament and that that in itself would be a practical sign of what happens when there is no physical government , basically a lack of authority will always turn into chaos and would be a spiritual sign that the church was to return to its place (or seat as I like to call it) of authority or there would be chaos in our land.
Something I think which rather scares me is the implications of what that means. For five years after its not something people like to talk about - personally I wasn't very comfortable giving this prophetic word in the first place and I haven't been comfortable since, I get the feeling the church generally is uncomfortable with the word and so is uncomfortable talking about it. However uncomfortable we feel the reality is that uncomfort is nothing compared to the uncomfort we will feel based on the possible ramification of what the word actually means and the uncomfort it will bring.
Do I want to run bare foot for a mile - hell no but its a much preferable uncomfort that running on hot coals barefoot for a mile - even with shoes on I'd go for a mile barefoot without hot coals.
So the big big question is what is the place of authority that we are supposed to return to. Again this is kinda of a little bit debatable, I could run through the biblical argument for this but the reality is it would probably take a book. It's no coincidence that in January (that is in 2010 before the General Election of that year) I was mulling over a vision I had, stopped mulling and then I just by complete randomness (or in other words it was 'God') was lead to the book of Daniel and read something that was comparable with my vision so I read the book and the prevailing thought I had was that:
The biblical story of Israel as a nation post Solomon is a people who reject their God and don't fulfil their part of the Mosaic Covenant. Or in the words of Hosiah a "whoring' nation that turn their back on their God and go after others.
Jeremiah's prophecies and other elements of the Bible make it clear that the Babylon captivity was God's judgement on Israel (note: again it was a word of mercy to stay Judgement but if only if the people responded and returned to Him). Now move forward from Jermiah's day to today and we think quite negatively about Jermeiah and the rest of the Old Testament prophets...
...basically bunch of extreme weirdos giving negative words and doing weird things.
In the context of what Daniel teaches it is God who firstly raises up the Assyrians, then the Babylonians and then the Persians as Israels message of grace.
It's ironic because who is that God uses to give this message of grace via Daniel. It's the same Jeremiah, with the bad rap, indeed it's Jeremiahs words that prophecy Israel will return when the land has enjoyed the restoration of all the Shemitah Years (or Sabbath years) that Israel had failed to follow which made up 70. So Daniels reading Jeremiah about the Judgements of God and reads Jeremiah 29 and it's from the prophecy of 70 years that Daniel realises it's (that is the return for the Babylon exiles) going to happen soon so begins praying for it.
Lastly on the bad rap of the OT Prophets is it really that fair! Given they just did and said what God said and ask them to do then I think definitely yes. The real problem is when the people ignored the Prophets they weren't actually ignoring the Prophets because the prophets never gave words they just retold what God was telling them so ultimately they were ignoring God - and it's that that is the real problem.
God actually spoke to me on several occassions when there was chaos in the the UK, there was the riots in August 2011, there was the whole phone hacking scandal, the jimmy saville scandal and worse still the government made same sex marriage on an equal par legally with biblical marriage. Given what's recently happened and is happening in the US with the same issues then there is an interesting comparison and distinction.
In the US they voted (note so far though this may extend to the whole nation in the future like the UK) to implement same sex marriage in most of the states yet the church protested. In the UK they did the same but made it legal across the whole land and the church was silent. In fact that's not quite true the Catholic Church protested but so called true believers who stand up for the real word of God were silent. The difference couldn't be more of a contrast.
To be clear this is not about being anti-gay. It's about the church being the moral spiritual authority for marriage in the land and the fact that our nations are bringing in laws that will erode the basis of family which is the basis of communities and we will see when this happens across the world it will lead to the actual fragmentation of the nations itself.
Now ive brought up the whole gay thing it probably needs dealing with for clarity sake.
One
So firstly I think the Church has lost its right to be a basis of sexual morality in the west because the Church morally isn't any more better behaved than the heathen (I'm talking about the divorce rate).
Jesus taught that righteous cities would be judged worse because of the light that they had rejected not the darkness they had accepted. Given the divorce rate in the church is about the same as not in the church the church will be judged worse on this simply because we do know better so we should behave better - clearly this hasn't historically been the case. The church will be judged worse still as the church is the plumb line for marriage and clearly has failed the nation but not being that plumb line.
Two
The church needs to learn to speak up for the truth even when she has no authority. That's the only way we will gain mercy rather than judgement is changing that behaviour.
Three
This is not about gay bashing. It's interesting that the only thing that didn't have a partner in the whole of creation is us, namely mankind and namely Adam. Then God makes Adam name all the partners so not only does Adam not have partner he gets to clearly realise he doesn't have a partner also. Adam's partner is actually God so he doesn't need a partner but God says that it's "not good for man to be alone" so he gives Him Eve. Now Adam clearly realises that every partner in nature is the double of the other. However God doesn't give Adam a double He gives him an opposite. This is because Adam's true partner - that is God - is His opposite and not His equal.
Four
This is the foundation of Biblical marriage and relationships. One of the most abhorrent sins to God is idolatory and one of the most abhorrent sins to God within idolatory is worship of self. Same sex relationship is Idolatory. The only worship God allows form man beside Himself is the worship from Man to wife - this is a spiritual allogery of the fact that worship exists from man to God. This is why Paul in Ephesians 5:32 calls marriage a great mystery - in fact he says "...This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church." Biblically then same sex relationship is an adomination to God as it's a form of Idolatory (note: in that it prophetically rejects God).
Biblically when idolatory is in the land then that lands going to have massive problems and the nations of the west aren't just allowing this but they are legalising it (note: this is not to hard to fathom why as nations reject God that leads to an ultimate crisis).
What to do we do?
Well the first thing to say is we learn to love those that are different the way Jesus loves them. Clearly persecuting others in what other form is clearly a sin. We also have to stand up for what we believe in and if the world confuses the two then it's their problem. Isaiah said "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.." effectively that's what we are doing!
Five
The world since the existence of human beings however you believe we created has practices a community where which is build on a man and a woman and procreation. Same sex marriage up until now has never been the norm in any nation, in any culture, in any civilisation whether same sex sexuality is practiced or not - remember we are talking about the worlds systems not Gods. Mother nature also states that it is not natural for same sex couples to procreate. Ironically in the late 80s when I was growing up the same argument was used in the argument for same sex sexuality but now the same people have reversed it - that is there old argument now argues against them.
Six
The church is supposed to be a light, as a light to the nations it is supposed to speak for God's truth, righteousness and speaking up for what is just. The church is also the standard bearer for marriage and family, legally both the UK, US and other western governments have tipped the idea of marriage completely on it's head an idea that's been sustained throughout human cultures for thousands of years.
In the example of chaos I've given in the last 5 years in the UK God always spoke to me and said that this is an example of what will happen if you don't return - chaos, there is still time. However God clearly spoke to me when the laws on same sex marriage were brought it and basically said the UK has a nation has made a decision on God himself and I've heard nothing since on the matter - just silence.
Fast forward to the general election just past (note that is 2015) and I was really surprised to hear that they were expecting another hung parliament. It actually shocked me and I did think it may be a sign that if it happened then repeat scenario but it hasn't and God never said anything on this happening again but I found it interesting that this is what was being predicted.
(note so that's a backgrop to really what I want to say.....)
What I want to really speak to you about is some other stuff God has spoken about which is the Shemitah or Sabbath Year. Every seven years Exodus 23:10-13 states that Israel was supposed to celebrate a Sabbath Year. In this year the plowing of the land was supposed to rest. The land effectively became open property for anyone to pick it's produce but it was not to be cultivated. More than this in the seven year cycle of the Shemitahs or the seven years the year after the 7th Shemitah is a jubilee year. Jubilee is a uber or super Shemitah and includes total debts being wiped out, slaves returning to their families.
Interestingly as I write this we are about 3/4 s of the way through a Shemitah years which ends in the Middle of September, before we actually get carried away with actual dates then the dates observed are in the Jewish calendar which are slightly different from our Gregorian calendar
If we role back seven years to the end of the last Shemitah year, then the US stock market crashed in the middle of September 2008 right at the end of the Shemitah year, role back again 7 years and the same thing happens right at the end of the Shemitah year.
This crash in 2001 was in fact the result of events triggered off by 9/11 and to fully understand that crash it is the results of military, religious, political and economic issues. Revelation 7:1 gives a picture of four angels standing at the four corners of the earth holding back the four winds of the earth. These four winds stand for the four same things. That is military power; religious power; political power; and economic power.
All four powers in recent years that culminated in key events throughout the world can be traced back to either events that triggered 9/11 or events that 9/11 triggered we can clearly see that in our times these four winds are being released more and more.
What's more the US has used a biblical phrase to stand for their politcal policy post 9/11 that is "We will rebuild."
This is taken from Isaiah 9:10 and has been used in speeches by the President, Vice-President and the representative of both political houses in response in the House of Representative as a first political response from the US government about the events of 9/11.
The full speech of the last mention is in the House of Representatives is in a video below - at 3:30 the full verse is used here:
The bricks have fallen down, But we will rebuild with smooth stones; The sycamores have been cut down, But we will replace them with cedars."
This prophecy is a prophecy of Judgement against Israel. The response in the verse is a response to the events of the Assyrian invasion.
The preceding words about the verse are:
And all the people know it, That is, Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, Asserting in pride and in arrogance of heart:
To repeat the quote is ... "asserting in pride and in arrogance of heart. 'The Bricks have fallen... we will rebuild..."
It's kinda of difficult to see how anyone could have missed that. I doubt it wasn't, I'd imagine that the verse itself felt too appropriate given the scenario to not use so makes the original context of the verse itself irrelevent. Given that the original verse is a prophecy that dictates a judgement upon Israel that it will finally fall to the Assyrians then within context the US government has itself pronounced judgement on itself. The quote and the context of the original verse hold true.
Given these events then what does the future hold. Given the pattern and the fact that the last stock market crash caused a global economic crisis then there is a distinct possibility that we can expect the same. If that happens given that practically the most western nations are still recovering from the crash the whole western civilisation will come crashing down.
Then what next? And this is important... most of the world, in fact the whole of western civilisation will be looking to a saviour. That saviour will come in two solutions and two persons, either in Jesus Christ or the Anti Christ.
Given the prophecies in revelation and the events I've recounted and some of those I haven't yes I am talking about the tribulation actually happening. In fact the response of human governments has almost been to prepare the way to trigger the tribulation itself if not for the anti-christ himself (or herself) if not that person themselves however is part of what we would correctly see as a domino principle from events that are happening today!
The time is coming when we can no longer sit on the fence and be half hearted we either have to choose Jesus or against Jesus. Against Jesus means the anti-christ and that means their governments and their systems including their system of economics, their system of politics and their system of religion. The bible calls it the number 666. In fact lets recap that with a direct quote from Revelation 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
So the number of man is 6 that's one less than God who is symbolised by the number 7. So man in his fullest pomp - the anti christ - is the number 666 and lets calculate that number because as the passage says "Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast?
So 6 symbolises a mighty human political system operating in it's fullest
The other 6 symbolises a mighty human religious systems operating it its fullest
And the other 6 symbolises a mighty human economic system operating in it's fullest.
So we have 3 perfect human systems operating in their fullest which will be part of whole one system and that system obviously then is symbolised by 666 and the system is itself controlled by the anti-christ themselves.
Considering the mark we either have the mark and we can operate in that system or we can stay loyal to Jesus Christ and refuse.
There's not time to go through this but the reality of Revelation is a revelation of who man worships do we worship God and his Christ or do we worship Satan and his anti-christ.
The point is events we are living in are clearly triggering the tribulation. How will this system come about - the world will need a saviour and this is what we are actually doing we are creating a kind of world wide doom that will need someone to come in and save it. When that person does it will lead to a ever bigger world wide doom until Jesus Himself comes back. The begins of those events are clearly happening today.
The call of God is the same
That's why in the end times God will allow and the 666 political system will allow for a physical house of prayer to be built. Don't scoff at that remark either! At the end of the day it's all about who we worship.
The three key things for us to spot in the precise prophecies of Revelation are:
What's more there are some rumours that President O'Bama is proposing the rebuilding of a temple as part of a Middle East peace process for Jerusalem, if you hear him speak on that subject then within his thinking you can see he clearly embraces the need for all religions to be able to practice their religion to gether. It is Israel itself that appears to be the only obstacle to this happening.
Whether or not is largely irrelevant to me ironically. What is relevant is we have up to seven years to seek God's face and restore to the ministry unto God namely Prayer to the church and do some old fashion praying in the style of Daniel.
20th May 2015
t
note: I've added a few notes to this, this also is a good watch in context of what I've said here...
As a note here's the picture of the Red Heifer with the mark of the number seven clearly on it's head. This cow was born last year on the very first day of this Shemitah year, that is the last year, year seven in the seven cycle of years.
Numbers 19 says from verse 2:
This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying: ‘Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which a yoke has never come.
... continuing from verse 9...
Then a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and store them outside the camp in a clean place; and they shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for the water of purification;[a] it is for purifying from sin. 10 And the one who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening. It shall be a statute forever to the children of Israel and to the stranger who dwells among them....
and ending with verse 17...
As a kind of final word on this subject I think in relation to 9/11, the "we will rebuild" theme and everything else Amos 9:11 ties in nicely:
In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old
As a little recap going back 5 years to March 2010 God originally spoke to me and said that there would be a Hung Parliament and that that in itself would be a practical sign of what happens when there is no physical government , basically a lack of authority will always turn into chaos and would be a spiritual sign that the church was to return to its place (or seat as I like to call it) of authority or there would be chaos in our land.
Something I think which rather scares me is the implications of what that means. For five years after its not something people like to talk about - personally I wasn't very comfortable giving this prophetic word in the first place and I haven't been comfortable since, I get the feeling the church generally is uncomfortable with the word and so is uncomfortable talking about it. However uncomfortable we feel the reality is that uncomfort is nothing compared to the uncomfort we will feel based on the possible ramification of what the word actually means and the uncomfort it will bring.
Do I want to run bare foot for a mile - hell no but its a much preferable uncomfort that running on hot coals barefoot for a mile - even with shoes on I'd go for a mile barefoot without hot coals.
So the big big question is what is the place of authority that we are supposed to return to. Again this is kinda of a little bit debatable, I could run through the biblical argument for this but the reality is it would probably take a book. It's no coincidence that in January (that is in 2010 before the General Election of that year) I was mulling over a vision I had, stopped mulling and then I just by complete randomness (or in other words it was 'God') was lead to the book of Daniel and read something that was comparable with my vision so I read the book and the prevailing thought I had was that:
- Prayer of the type Daniel did both
- Tips nations one way or the other
- Can ultimately lead to restoration of a nation (or ultimately Judgement)
note: prophecy - even negative is a sign of God's mercy to stay is hand of Judgement but only if we make a response to His Word.
Continuing that thought about prayer, the book of Daniel is really about two things:
- Prayer that truly steps in the gap - as mentioned above
- That God is the one who sets up kings and nations and overthrows them for both
- Judgement
- Mercy
The biblical story of Israel as a nation post Solomon is a people who reject their God and don't fulfil their part of the Mosaic Covenant. Or in the words of Hosiah a "whoring' nation that turn their back on their God and go after others.
Jeremiah's prophecies and other elements of the Bible make it clear that the Babylon captivity was God's judgement on Israel (note: again it was a word of mercy to stay Judgement but if only if the people responded and returned to Him). Now move forward from Jermiah's day to today and we think quite negatively about Jermeiah and the rest of the Old Testament prophets...

- to return to God
- and return to seeking his face not his hand
- and return to the seat of authority which is the place of prayer and house of prayer
What's more, on from the word about the general election, the recent Shemitah years, 9/11 I came across a prophecy from a Jewish Rabbi called Yitzhak Kaduri who caused great costernation in Isreal and even in the Church as he claimed to have met the Messiah in a vision and was given his name . He stated he left His Name in messages he had hidden in his teachings before his death and gave instructions for it not to be opened until a year after it's death.
Simply it was a short message that said "he will raise the people and confirm that his word and law are standing", (note... remember the phrase "The Bricks are fallen... we will rebuild", I would quote this in the same context as "The Bricks are fallen, God will rebuild....") a fairly anonymous message however take the first letter of each word in the original Hebrew and translate it into English and the name is "Jesus", again a little too generic but given Israel's historic rejection of Jesus as the Messiah no leading Rabbi would want to be caught sacrificing his reputation by possibly tying the words Jesus and Messiah which he did! This is by the way, the most respected Rabbi alive until His death.
Furthermore he said the Messiah was coming soon, the only sign he gave was that this would happen "soon" after Ariel Sharon died. He died last year (2014).
The event of the UK General Election in 2010 will serve as a sign, the shemitahs serve as a sign, 9/11 is a sign, Rabbi Kaduris prophecy that Jesus is the Messiah is a sign and that He is coming soon after the death of Ariel Sharon. The ever increasing political, economic, military and religious problems in the world seve as a sign that we should now be preparing our hearts and our lives for the return of Jesus Christ even if it does not happen we must learn form the Parable of the Ten Virgins a cultivate the Oil of Intimacy so if He does return soon (which isn't up for question as that's what the signs say - just a matter of when is soon?) we are not unprepared.
That for me is the place of prayer and morover the prayer room and more specifically a focus on night and day prayer! The key for the church to understand is until we understand and return to the place of prayer things will just get worse and worse or they will until we return. When we return to the place of prayer (what I'm talking about is making the reality of Revelation 4 and 5 a reality on earth) we will wonder why we didn't return earlier so we may as well return now.

The three key things for us to spot in the precise prophecies of Revelation are:
- The full restoration of Jews to Israel and to Jerusalem
- The building of the temple
- The gospel preached to all nations
Together with using the signs of the times that relate to the four winds.
Other than that of course Jesus actual return but by then it's too late. And I say this in the year that the head of the Jewish state has made a public call for Jews to Jerusalem. All we then need is a Jewish temple! Which is never going to happen... or is it!
Well, and this should scare you, all that's needed for a full functioning temple is the physical temple itself all the other preparation are ready - there is a Jewish organisation called the Temple Institute that have been preparing - for recent update on what they've been up to then read http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/32009/altar-jewish-holy-temple-rebuilt-jewish-world/#Y9tYtmtkHSjgfK5h.97
What's more there are some rumours that President O'Bama is proposing the rebuilding of a temple as part of a Middle East peace process for Jerusalem, if you hear him speak on that subject then within his thinking you can see he clearly embraces the need for all religions to be able to practice their religion to gether. It is Israel itself that appears to be the only obstacle to this happening.
Due to Mosaic Law the temple needs to be cleansed by the sacrifice of a Red Heifer then again there are stories of very rare Red Heifer's being born. Two cows have recently been born in the US which have a seven between their eyes, one is a Red Heifer!
To top that all of in the last year or so there have been a series of red blood moons. Historically when a red blood moon appears there is a historical event that leads to the restoration of the nation of Israel. The last moon is set to appear in September this year, the same month in which the Jewish Sabbath Year (Shemitah) is set to end in which its more than probabl a global economic crisis is likely to be triggered.
Given this farcial scenario. The New York stock market crashes in September this year, this has actually been predicted as being recent by economic experts. The $ is devalued. Many owners of Jewish businesses in the US return to Israel given the $ falling.
Then we would just need to have peace plan in the middle east which includes rebuilding of the Jewish temple and the gospel preached to all nations and we would be there!
I'm not entirely sure these events will begin to be triggered this year, I wouldn't be surprised if they did. They will largely either begin in this Shemitah year or the next seven year cycle. Whether or not is not really the issue to me because a the day as Jesus said no-one will know the time but the signs are there that it would be foolishness not to prepare. I'd have thought personally with what God has been saying to me that 2022 is more likely, at least for the events to trully kick in but it is possible their will also be one kind of final warning sign.

note: I've added a few notes to this, this also is a good watch in context of what I've said here...
As a note here's the picture of the Red Heifer with the mark of the number seven clearly on it's head. This cow was born last year on the very first day of this Shemitah year, that is the last year, year seven in the seven cycle of years.
Numbers 19 says from verse 2:
This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying: ‘Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which a yoke has never come.
... continuing from verse 9...
Then a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and store them outside the camp in a clean place; and they shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for the water of purification;[a] it is for purifying from sin. 10 And the one who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening. It shall be a statute forever to the children of Israel and to the stranger who dwells among them....
and ending with verse 17...
And for an unclean person they shall take some of the ashes of the heifer burnt for purification from sin, and running water shall be put on them in a vessel. 18 A clean person shall take hyssop and dip it in the water, sprinkle it on the tent, on all the vessels, on the persons who were there, or on the one who touched a bone, the slain, the dead, or a grave. 19 The clean person shall sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, wash his clothes, and bathe in water; and at evening he shall be clean.
20 ‘But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself, that person shall be cut off from among the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord. The water of purification has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean. 21 It shall be a perpetual statute for them. He who sprinkles the water of purification shall wash his clothes; and he who touches the water of purification shall be unclean until evening. 22 Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the person who touches it shall be unclean until evening.’
The number seven is mentioned four times and seventh is also mentioned four times in Numbers 19, which just so happens to be the number of God. Numbers 19 is about the laws of purification. Pretty powerful stuff!As a kind of final word on this subject I think in relation to 9/11, the "we will rebuild" theme and everything else Amos 9:11 ties in nicely:
In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old
