Edition 100

This ministry has a distinct kingdom vision, identifying with God’s call and plan for Israel and the church. My position is pre-trib! I was saved in 1976 while working as a war correspondent, journalist, photographer, artist and environmentalist. My calling is to share with you the great end-time dramas, to stand as a watchman and above all, to glorify my God.

Due to the fast changing prophetic news environment, check back here for any new or urgent updates that are important.
The signing of the Abrahamic Accord at the White House later today is of no prophetic consequence on its own. Collectively with others it does have significance, but not Daniel 9:27
Iraq (the home of Babylon) is reported to be lining up to make peace with Israel.
There will be no talk of, or deal relating to the Temple Mount at this signing.
Iran and friends threaten missile attack on Israel and the UAE because of their new friendship.
Trump warns Iran of “1000-times harsher response” if Iran attacks US Ambassador to South Africa.

Shabbat (Sabbath) begins on Fridays at 6pm and ends on Saturdays at 6pm. The purpose of this report is to help the church and Israel become reconciled in Messiah.

18^th September 2020

Shabbat Shalom to all!

Watch the watchmen:

But first: Rabbi Jonathan Cahn’s prayer meeting, “The Return” will be held on the Washington Mall, Washington DC, on the 26^th September. This day is known as Shabbat Shuvah. Interestingly the Bible reading for the day is, “Return O Israel, to the Lord your God.”(Hosea 14:2-10 Micah 7: 18-20 Joel 2:15-27) It’s all centred on a global call for the church to return to the ways of God, and for Israel’s return to Messiah.

Today is the beginning of Rosh Hashanah / Feast of Trumpets, depending on the sighting of the new moon. ●This is NOT the rapture time and start of the tribulation.

The current peace efforts between Israel and some Arab nations is NOT the final antichrist peace deal - not by any means. What they are is incremental peace efforts.

This is NOT the “peace and safety, then sudden destruction” verse coming about. That verse relates to the Daniel 9:27 peace deal and the tribulation.

But these things collectively are important in that they present a new dawn for the Middle East. The knock-on effects and influence of these peace efforts are causing others to want to jump on the band wagon too.

Because these are such critical and dangerous times, this is a more important time than ever to be led correctly by men of God who are led by the Spirit and have a history of accuracy and stability. There are many amongst the riff raff.

So many wannabe watchmen and teachers are leading people astray with inaccurate, wrong pronouncements. Some are so outrageous! A watchman of the Lord is not one who watches for possibilities. He knows where to look and what to watch for and is led by the Spirit of God, therefore he is right.

I was given some “100% for sure” information in charts and numbers and various things as to why this would be the rapture time – for sure 100%! It didn’t sit right. When checking it out myself nothing added up!

Because a blind, always-wrong watchman says something is a sign; that does not make it so, by any means.

Being wrong destroys your authority and credibility, and damages the prophetic word and the faith of others, especially new believers.

Being wrong on major biblical things means one thing for sure – absolutely: You have not heard from God and you speak your own opinions.

The Spirit led teacher / watchman will have a history of godly stability and is therefore trustworthy.

Discernment is more critical than ever in the face of fast growing deception.

Ezra 3:13 (Temple rebuilt) “The people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people...”

Error becomes an immovable mountain if not dealt with, because it is formed and secured on the pillar of pride.

Spirit led, and inspired knowledge, understanding and wisdom endures and produces godly fruit.

One way to know a false teacher: When brought to correction, they will turn on you because you won’t join them in propping up their pride!

The Spirit of God in your heart is the umpire. He brings peace when you are on the right track. But you need the baptism of the Spirit. If not your umpire is you, yourself.

The condition of the end-time church:

There is a powerful prophetic message for the end-time church hidden in the messages to the seven churches in Revelation 2 & 3. They were seven historic churches. All seven contain truth for us, but prophetically, they also plot the course of church history.

The first three churches, Ephesus, Smyrna and Pergamos speak of the times gone by. The last four plot the course of the end time church and run concurrently. They are Thyatira, representing the Catholic and other orthodox churches. (They are cast into the tribulation) Sardis is the church that has a “name to live but is dead”. They are told that Lord will come upon them as a thief and they won’t know when! This represents the denominational Spirit-less churches. (With a few exceptions) Then comes the glorious church – the church of Philadelphia. They have the key of David, opening the doors to the Jews. (Isaiah 22:22) This church keeps the word and is promised to be kept out of the tribulation. Finally we have the lukewarm church of Laodicea, which is spiritually blind. God “vomits them out of His mouth.” “Laodicea”: Strong’s G2993, “Laodikeia” From two root words: ‘Laos’ = people and ‘Dike’ =Ruling. This is the people ruled” or “people/self opinionated church.

The pictures below show all that remains of Laodicea today. The Spirit of God flew away from this church and God spat them out of His mouth. (Revelation 3:16) The pillars still standing represent truth, but all else is gone.

laodicea dove2

1 Timothy 3:15 (Amp) “You know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and stay – the prop and support of the truth.”

So, what we see here is a very powerful and accurate picture of the end-time church. Some of it is the walking dead. Some are a horror of evil. Some are cast into the tribulation, spat out and condemned. And right in the midst is the church who keeps and loves the word and is pro-Israel.

Bear in mind that there is a terrible, tragic church and a glorious, growing powerful church side by side in these days. Don’t get tunnel vision for just one side of the coin.

The Bible speaks of a great end-time revival (the latter rain) in the last days. (Joel 2:23, Hosea 6:3) and in many other verses.

A major prophetic mark of the times is increasing deception in the church. You can’t have increasing deception without increasing deceivers and that’s where the problem lies.

Satan used deception to try to stamp out the early church because he knew it would wreck his kingdom. Now we have the same scenario again. Sometimes you have to be severe in your dealings.

Acts 13:9-11 “Then Saul, also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit looked intently at him and said, ‘O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all unrighteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? And now indeed the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time, and immediately a dark mist fell upon him...”

It is most important to know prophetic things to come, but also the timing of those things, to avoid deception. You must see with spiritual eyes today.

A Spirit-led and inspired watchman / teacher is always restrained in what he sees and says. He is led by the restrainer.

We are now at the start of the new Hebrew year 5781. It will end and change to 5782 on Rosh Hashanah 2021. That is September 7^th - 8^th 2021. That’s a very important date!!

This year, 5781 is going to be year like no other. It’s going to be a wild time of stress, strain and pressure. But in the midst there will be islands of peace amongst the pillars of truth.

The good news is that we are on the verge of great revival. We are seeing it in many nations of the east. Of course there will always be churches deteriorating and dying.

Many of those who have gone off into a ditch will repent and return. Many will continue to slip and slide further away.

As we enter the beginning of these wild times, I want to assure you that The Prophetic Scroll will be your place of spiritual stability and rest.

✡† Shalom...Joel.

The tragedy of a failed church.

Of course God doesn't fail and the "gates of hell will not prevail" over what He has and is building. The message to the church of Philadelphia in the Revelation of Jesus Christ is a picture of glorious success and victory, but that's only one small section of the church.

If you read God's own assessment of the church in chapters two and three of the Revelation, you be shocked!

Of course all those who are born of the Spirit of the living God in all churches are His family. He only has one body, not many. But we also need to look deeply into the scriptures and heed the many warnings of impending doom for a large part of the church.

One of the big reasons why the true church of the living God will forever be hated by the false church, and the world for that matter is because it forever stands exclusive, separate and holy unto God. It will never assimilate and merge with the multi-faith movement. There is an impassable gulf (Luke 16:26) between heaven and hell, the saved and the unsaved The cross of our Lord is the great divider.

The reason why the antichrist will be accepted with open arms is because he comes making peace, offering love acceptance, coexistence and tolerance of all religions. If all religions are equally valid, then the cross of Christ and shed blood of our Messiah was meaningless!

coexist_3n

2 Corinthians 6:15-16 "What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever ? and what agreement has the temple of God with idols, for you are the temple of the living God."

You see, the world has elevated democracy to such a high level that the church has simply adopted it into the realm of religion as well. Because the majority thinks all religions are equally valid does not make it so. Of course we respect the people of other religions, but that's a different thing.

The great tragedy is that the world together with a great multi-faith religious movement will welcome the antichrist onto the world stage and give themselves to him. But if you think he will uphold true democratic values, have a look at these verses showing that he will quickly introduce a system of domination and control:

Isaiah 10:14 "By the strength of my hand (antichrist) I have done it, and by my wisdom for I am prudent; I have removed the boundaries of the people, and have robbed their treasuries...My hand has found like a nest the riches of the people, as one gathers eggs that are left. I have gathered all the earth; and there was no one who moved his wing, nor opened his mouth with even a peep."

Revelation 13:17 "He caused all both small and great, rich and poor, slave and free to receive a mark...and that no one may buy or sell except the one who has the mark..."

Rather than universalism, equity, democratic values and equality of all faiths, the antichrist will form a massive system of world control and domination, perhaps even worse than Marxist /Leninism. The nations of the world will be fooled by this "christ" and run to give their nations over to his control.

The multi-faith church will spearhead Satan's plan to control the world, but those who are truly born of the Spirit of God and are following Him, will see red lights flashing and separate themselves.

Yeshua / Jesus says "If you're not with Me and for Me you're against Me. (Matthew 12:30)

You cannot serve two masters. (Luke 16:13) You will love one and hate the other.

Note this very important issue in this amazing verse below. People can and will pretend to be true believers. They know all the right words and sayings, but their hearts are wrong.

Psalm 81:15 "The haters of the Lord would pretend submission to Him, but their fate would endure forever."

The Bible itself is God's handbook and instruction manual on how the church should be run.

1Corinthians 1:10 "Now I plead with brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and same judgement." Verse 13 "Is Christ divided?"

Amos 3:3 "How can two walk together lest they be agreed". Disunity in the church is the largest cause of its failure.

One of the great tragedies of the failed church is that it is deaf to God's warnings!

Truth unites all those that love it, but truth in this modern day and age offends many people.

The truth is designed to offend. It offends the pride of life, so that it can be dealt with.

1 Peter 2:7-8 "The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone, a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence."

Truth shows how helpless you are in and of your own self effort. Truth illuminates Satan in the world and his host of demons. Truth shows that you need the cross of Christ. So what does the church do? It removes the offence. Galatians 5:11...The offence of the cross..."

I've said many times, it's very easy to spot the counterfeit. He has no cross, nor the marks of the cross on his daily life!

If you remove the cross and its effects on your life, you will easily fit in with the world and its traditions, religions, entertainment, and its ways. You will soon become accepted as one of them. You won't even see who's really pulling the strings in the background.

Luke 6:26 "Woe to you when all men speak well of you."

Proverbs 21:27 "The sacrifice (works) of the wicked is an abomination".

2John 1:6 "This is love, that we walk according to His commandments (truth / word)". What a staggering verse! How amazing is that? You know how many times people come up with, "that's not love". I don't know how many times I've been accused of not walking in love because I won't join my Christian friends worshipping the great Satanic god Hollywood! Well, here's one of the great definitions of what it means to walk in love! To walk in love is to walk in truth!!!!

Joshua 24:14-15 "Now therefore fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods that your fathers served...Serve the Lord."

An easy way to get rid of counterfeits and troublemakers in the church is simply to preach the true gospel of offense. Preach Christ and Him crucified. Preach the need to take up your cross daily. They will quickly leave. Who is left behind is who you can really walk with on our journey.

scrollcross2

The way of the truth is narrow...not wide all encompassing and universal. (John 14:6) The way of the modern church is all accommodating...destined for the wide open arms of the antichrist and an eternal hell.

There is only one narrow road to heaven, but millions of wide open roads to hell. (and Rome of course)

The entirety of the work of God with man starting in Eden all culminates in the cross of Calvary. It is the cross that is the great divider. It is the ongoing work and power of the cross that gives true insight, understanding and power to live a successful life God's way!

The way of God is this. Take up your cross daily and follow our Lord (Matthew 16:24)

"The message of the cross is foolishness to them that are perishing". So they remove it and become "enemies of the cross of Christ." (1 Corinthians 1:18) You can easily remove the cross, but you can't remove "the perishing" as a result!

Luke 11:35 "Beware that the light that is in you is not really darkness". Many preachers today preach Jesus in the church, but it's another Jesus! It's a jolly Santa Clause Jesus

If you set off on a very important one way once-in-a-lifetime very long journey, wouldn't you like to know that you're on the right road? Too many today are blind sheep, following their leaders in hope that he knows where he is going.

John 4:24 "Those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

Mark 7:7 "This people honours Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. In vain they worship Me teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."

Oh Europe your eternal doom is before you!

►Here is an absolutely shocking, revolting, sickening program broadcast on BBC a few weeks ago on the state of the church in Europe, the new dark continent. (There's a video clip of some of the program on this website as well, just click play.) As I watched the full program on BBC, I could continuously almost hear the future screams from hell of the people and counterfeit ministers in the program.

This is all about atheists in the pulpit: (click the link below)

The church in Europe today

This program is shocking indeed, but it is all prophesied in the scriptures.

Here is another shocking bit of news on the state of the modern church. This link will take you to a story on the move from Christian Zionism to Christian Palestinianism.

The assault on Christian Zionism

The move away from God's plans for Israel, the Jews and Jerusalem is really speeding up. The Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran and many others are at the forefront.

A very easy way to get rid of all the confusion and to allow atheists in the pulpit, and to basically allow anyone to have their own democratic voice in the church is simply to say "Don't judge"

Those who say don't judge, have only one motivation and that is to allow evil and sin to flourish. Imagine saying to a judge "Don't judge." The Bible does not say "don't judge" It says "don't judge after the flesh"

(Please have a look at Edition 14 tilted "To judge or not to judge")

The truth is being cast down.

Isaiah 59:14 "...Righteousness stands afar off for truth is fallen in the street."

We are heading fast into a world of tremendous evil. The truth has been "cast down in the street" The cross is being removed more and more so that evil can flourish.

The church has failed in its responsibility to restrain evil.

Is your church teaching truth and growing in holiness and the fear of the Lord, or is it acceptable to the world?

We are to grow in the fear of the Lord and not the fear of the church fathers, reformers and the like.

Beware: Matthew 24:12 "Because lawlessness shall abound the love of many will grow cold."

Jeremiah 5:31 "The prophets prophecy falsely, and the priests rule by their own power; and My people love to have it so."

2 Corinthians 10:12 "We dare not compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they measuring themselves by themselves and comparing themselves among themselves are not wise."

Matthew 6:23 "If your (spiritual) eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is really darkness, how great is that darkness.!"

Isaiah 5:20 "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness."

The word 'contaminate' means to mix with the impure and unclean. That's the state of much of the modern church!

Deuteronomy 12:29-32 "When the Lord God cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, you shall displace them and dwell in their land, take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them...and that you do not inquire after their gods saying "How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise. You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way...whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it."

Leviticus 18:30 "Therefore you shall keep My commandments, so that you do not commit any of these abominable customs (traditions)"

Truth is not variable, it's absolute.

The old ways

bibleholyold

The old ways are the new ways for many who've left the old ways and gone of astray. The old ways are the new ways for many who want to liven up and invigorate their spiritual lives. Isn't it amazing that here we are in 2011 talking about how radical the 2000 year-old Bible is. You see, the major issues of life don't change or get old and out of date. Life and it's principles are eternal. "The word of God is life"

Jeremiah 6:16 "Stand in the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls..."

We have an immensely important and enormous responsibility to God to the unsaved, to saved and to Israel. We dare not interfere with the truth and make it relevant to a fallen world

●The truth may hurt but lies will comfort you on your journey to hell. A classical example of this was the work of mother Theresa. Her philosophy was to comfort people of other faiths, dying in her hospice, without even attempting to convert them.

Finally.

There are many churches who are led by mature men who know our Lord and His word. They are doing their job very well. They are able to see the attack of the enemy and defend themselves and their flock. They are well able to lead many people into all truth. They are becoming the minority.

It's a real blessing and privilege to know our Messiah, to follow Him and His ways. In this day that will make you a minority and a complete oddball, but it will make you a friend of the living God.

In closing you might like to (please do) watch / listen to this clip by Grace Williams tilted "Hide me now." it's a beautiful piece of music.

Hide me now Grace Williams

Psalm 118:19 "Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will g through them, and I will praise the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord, through which the righteous shall enter."

Psalm 119:1-2 "Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies , who seek Him with a whole heart."

Heaven or hell:

Young woman you had better be worried if you have not accepted the finished work of the cross of Calvary. You friends may tell you that there are many ways to be saved. They may tell you that God would not send anyone to hell. They are wrong. Now while you are alive you can change your mind, not afterwards!

worry

The way of our Lord is the way to glorious victory now and in time to come. It really is a celebration. Oddly, submitting to God is the way to real liberty and freedom.
