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, to bless Israel and her people and the kingdom of God. |
►We have now reached 47 million regular visitors.
►Next Edition, Lord willing: "Meanderings and musings of my mind."
Why the pre-trib rapture is the only view that adds up and works.
- US Democratic Party diplomat calls for Nations with a Christian influence to come against Israel, saying “Jesus Christ came to save the whole world from the Jews...Jews are not chosen!”
- Report: “Obama tried to give the Golan to Syria.” But then came Trump who “gave” the Golan to Israel! And the difference is = The Bible!
- US Dems take followers further and further away from all things related to a nation under God.
- Russia warns Israel: "No more attacks on Syria or we will strike back."
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.

Shabbat Shalom to all!
War drums and trumpets:
Firstly I would like to really thank all those who have recently donated to this ministry. I must say I was amazed at the incredible response from so many. Thank you very much for your blessing to the kingdom of God, above all.
There’s a risk in giving out names that some will feel left out if I don’t name them. So please know that you are all being thanked and will be rewarded. You have encouraged me greatly with your gratitude. You are special! We go on to ever increasing glory!
I give you my assurance that I will continue to give you my best, in spite of wanting to go and live under a tree in the desert sometimes.
Please keep The Prophetic Scroll in your prayer, in that it stays open and unrestricted in these dangerous days. Also keep it as your essential go-to place for what is really happening, and for your deep spiritual growth.
The rumbling war drums:
Drum beats have many classifications. We have blues beat, disco beat, the jazz swing, the motown groove and more. But we also have a particular drum beat of war and battle. The drums of war actually originate from the repeating drum beat of the shaman or witchdoctor.
A certain drum beat would mean either dance or get ready for war. The drum beat would stimulate and strengthen the body and forge a sense of unity by the beat. They would unite the human and the spirit world. The drums of war were also referred to as the drums of death, especially when combined with trumpets.
I said all of that just for this: Can you hear the drums of war rolling? Can you hear the crescendo of drums and trumpets of great conflict echoing through the atmosphere?
This is where we are now. The drums and trumpets are only for those with ears to hear. Others would be wise to listen to those with ears to hear.
The terrible war machine of the nations is warming up to take control of the sleeping nations, who are led by the aged and wrinkled of mind, the pacifists and the true enemies of real liberty and freedom.
Russia is beating the war-drums as she threatens Israel with attack for attacking Iranian targets in Syria. Syria is beating new war drums covered with the ash of long-standing war. Iran is beating the war drum against Israel again, again, again!
Biden and his party are asleep to it all, including the blonde half-baked fairy from hell whose grand burning desire is to change the gender of kids.
It’s not just the US. Europe is worse in many areas.
It seems that insanity has suddenly been let out of the cage and is infecting the world so fast. Here is one of the succinct verses about those who have forsaken the Lord:
Deuteronomy 28:28 “The Lord will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of mind.”
Why war?
In the old days we would fight over God’s creative beauty - a girl, and the girls would fight over us – Oh the good ole-days!
The bigger wars are fought over property, religion, political systems and the like. But there is really only one war that is of importance and that is the war to eliminate God’s beautiful creative purpose for Israel. It comes in many guises, but that is the underlying reason. It’s purely spiritual. It is the devil against God, at the end of the day.
So now we sit on the brink of war – the big one! Drums are rolling, trumpets are blowing and madmen from hell are arising, struck with blinding confusion and their weapons of annihilation tucked into their big-bird, metal wings.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall; Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, because an atom bomb blew him to smithereens. And all the king’s horses and all the king’s men took seven years to clean up the remnants of poor Humpty. What fun!
I can hear the drums of drama but I also hear the trumpet calling me to go and live under a tree in the desert! (Move over lions.)
The great war for God’s son – Israel, is prophesied. (Exodus 4:22-23) It’s all getting pretty hot in here. You need to know these things. You need to know why all things and people of God are targets.
People with no knowledge of the living God are fools, and easy to manipulate and turn into cannon fodder for every dumb gun in town.
You need to be anchored in the truth.
True living is living in truth.
If you try to befriend Satan and appease him, and walk in peace with him, you will automatically, by default, set yourself up as an enemy of God and you will pay the price!
Yes, Israel will miss it again and fall under punishment again, but the most stupid thing you can do is come against Israel in the bigger, overall picture.
Biden prepares to “kill” the Second Amendment right to bear arms in the US. Israel observes and compares this to Haman’s actions to try to destroy the Jews. Biden befriends the enemies of the west and of Israel in Yemen and Iran steps right in!
There was a time when God overlooked the ignorance of stupid, dumb politicians and people, but that day is gone (Acts 17:30, Acts 14:16)
Here’s a verse that should blow a lot more than your socks off:
Esther 9:1-2 “On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them...No one could withstand them because the fear of them fell upon all people.”
Take note, I say again take note, of the gravity of this verse above!!
The enemies of God and his son Israel, are united under Satan. The political parties, churches, inter-faith organisations and false religions of the world already have an unwritten unity between them – a hell bound unity!
The unity between true born-again believers is a unity based on truth and not lovey-dovey feelings.
As a believer, your culture must change! Your character and your personality must change as you grow in God. If not you will end up going with the flow of the wind.
Shalom...Joel
Edition 240. December 31st 2014
False end - time doctrines:
False end – time doctrines:
Introduction:
As we head into what will be an extremely critical year for the world, there are many things we must take heed of in our preparation for our Lord. No, I’m not saying the rapture / tribulation will begin in 2015 although it most certainly could, I am saying the time is very short. If it’s not this new-year it won’t be more than a few more.
This edition is not about false doctrines in general, but those that have specific relationship to these end days. They are not all outright heresy or error. Some are just twists in the truth as you will see.
There are a number of false doctrines that have specific relevance to the end-time scenario. These are the big ones of our day that will intensify and become deadly and dangerous.
I’ll first of all list them and then we can speak about them.
Today we are in a dangerous world of the arising of billboard Jesus – another Jesus – your own personal sponsor for your own life. This billboard Jesus in not holy and pure, and is full of error. He is a creation of the modern church – just for you. He can fit in nicely without interference.
There are so many churches that can’t change even if they wanted to. Their ways are so deeply entrenched in the ways of the world; they are one with it and its god.
The call and cry for repentance and a return to the pure undefiled gospel is falling on deaf, dead ears.
1 John 4:6 “We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”
The list of false end-time doctrines:
●Deception today is no different from the past and no big deal if you’re saved.
●Satan is not the god of this world, Jesus is!
●The world will continue as always.
●Jesus is coming back to offer love and forgiveness.
●You can help create a world of peace now.
●Doctrine is not important, just love one another.
●Jezebel in the church.
●Israel is of no consequence. The Palestinians must have half of Jerusalem and the land of Israel.
●You do not need the baptism in the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit to see and deal with demons.
●Jesus was married.
Identifying last-days deceptions, heresies and false doctrines:
The false doctrines of our day will relate to the important biblical doctrines of our day.
Satan is the god of confusion says the Bible, and of course he is going to obscure himself and his operations and spread confusion in the things of God’s prophetic word.
Revelation 12:12 “Therefore rejoice O heavens and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows he has a short time.”
The verse above will intensify incredibly in the tribulation period, but we are in the labour pains now and forerunner period to the tribulation. We are in a spiritual environment of intensifying battle.
The deadly false doctrines of today will glorify Satan in disguise, cast down God’s eternal truths and exalt the things of the devil.
The devil attacks the Christian through the world system, the flesh-nature and the demonic. The big heresies of today will most certainly include error relating to these three things.
●Deception today is no different from the past and no big deal if you’re saved.
On the Mount of Olives our Lord warned five times of end-time deception during His discourse with the disciples. If you blindly accept everything and you do not question and search for biblical truth, you must be, will be, and deserve to be deceived.
2 John 1:7 “Many deceivers have gone into the world who do not confess Yeshua the Messiah as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”
Revelation 13:14 “And he (Satan) deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which were granted him...”
2 Thessalonians 2:9 “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs and lying wonders.”
Matthew 24:4 (Description of end times) “Take heed that no one deceives you, for many will come in My name saying I am the Christ and will deceive many. Verse 11: “Many false prophets will arise and deceive many.”
Psalm 119:118 “You reject all those who stray from Your statutes, for their deceit is falsehood.”
2 Timothy 3:13 “Evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”
2 Timothy 3:1-5 “In the last days perilous times will come, for men will be lovers of themselves...having a form of godliness but denying its power...From such people turn away.”
So, just in these few dramatic verses above, and there are many more, we see a pattern, a very dangerous, deadly pattern! It’s all about end-time deception.
If your church is not teaching you about deception and warning you of its danger – be careful of that church! Be careful of any church that does not teach on God’s enemies, who, by default, are your enemies.
Revelation 12:9 speaks of the “beast that deceives the whole world.” This is a tribulation verse but do you see that immense power here?
We are in a time period of increasing deception - not the other way around.
This is the urgent message of the day. It is urgent. It is happening even right now.
●Satan is not the god of this world, Jesus is!
For God so loved the world He would never harm a flea! Sounds funny, but that is the exact lie a growing number of people believe. They believe that Satan is in hell or out there somewhere, or something, anything – just not that Satan is the god of this world. (2 Corinthians 4:4)
“How can Satan be the god of my world to have fun in?” This is the unwritten question of most people today!
Satan has power and authority in this world system. He is its god.
According to 2 Corinthians 4:4 God has blinded the eyes of the world. Do you know that? Do you understand that? The world is blind. It is blind to its demise. All of its ways emanate from spiritual blindness. It’s heroes, celebrities, leaders are all blind. The world can’t receive the Spirit of truth. Its works are all evil, it is at enmity with God. We are “not to love the world.” We are to come out of its domain and be separate.
If they could see into the spiritual realm for 1 minute, they would all fall on their faces in repentance!
By the way, the earth is not the world. The world is the socio-political, economic area and the dealings of man. We could say that the earth is adorned or dressed with the world. The earth, although it still has the curse upon it will continue, later restored and glorified. The world will be destroyed soon, never to arise again.
The great end-time deceptions and heresies relating to the world will be those that obscure Satan, keep him hidden, concealed and out of the picture. It is this world that we as believers are commanded to “hate” and “die to.” (John 12:25, Galatians 2:20)
A great coming heresy will be taught by many churches, especially all the orthodox churches. It will be that the world can come together as one in peace and make world peace. This will all be the work of Satan in disguise.
●The world will continue as always.
2 Peter 3:3-4 “Scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, saying ‘where is the promise of His coming? All things will continue as they were from the beginning of creation.’”
It is the end-time scoffers who believe that world will continue as always. That’s actually quite logical if the Lord is not coming back to judge the world, it must continue as always.
If the world will continue as always, there has to be a very strong focus on preserving it, saving it and making it a better place. None of these things are part of the great commission for the true disciple of Messiah.
If nobody knows the time of the coming of the Lord, you must have the world as your playground. There will be little division between the world and the kingdom of God in your view.
This is exactly why so many churches are full of worldly heresy.
●Jesus is coming back to offer love and forgiveness.
People of the world are blind spiritually, uninformed, falsely taught and in all error. They believe that Jesus was some Gentile, gentle guy who was full of love for everything and everyone. Hell is foreign to them.
You would be shocked to know how many intelligent, educated people believe that if this Jesus is coming back again, he will come back as Mr. Nice Guy in love, forgiveness and compassion.
Let me tell you this. Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah, the King of all Kings is returning in love. He is returning to destroy the entire world polluted by Satan, and all its unsaved people, who will be cast into hell. This is pure love in action. Setting up a new world order, a universe of holiness, purity with no sin or evil in absolute glory – is an act of incredible love.
More sure than anything you can imagine, is the coming judgement. It is coming to every human being that ever lived. Every unbeliever will be judged to hell. Every believer will be judged and assessed for reward and loss of reward.
The idea that no judgement is coming or it will be a picnic is an evil heresy.
●You can help create a world of peace now.
The apostate church will remove end-time teaching and all that relates to Israel, Jerusalem and the Jews. It will remove all things relating to end-time judgement, severity, destruction, doom and terror.
With all teaching on the rapture, the tribulation and the second coming, all neatly removed, the Inter-faith world-church will push for world-peace in a big way. Satan will be the driving force.
They will draw in most churches. Already there is a big move in this regard. The stage is being prepared even now.
As in the times of Babylon and all the other fallen world empires, they will think they can build a world of peace.
The push for unity amongst all religions and churches will be a major end-time heresy. Be careful of having anything to do with it. World-peace is coming – God’s way. It is called the Millennium and it is coming on the destruction of all that is not of God and has not gone though the cross of Messiah.
Anything and everything to do with multi-faith is to be avoided. It is ultimately doomed!
●Doctrine is not important, just love one another.
Acts 20:27-28 “I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God. Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock...for I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.”
2 Timothy 4:3 “The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers and turn from the truth to fables.”
Isaiah 59:14 (End-time context) “I looked and saw the truth cast down in the street”.
2 Thessalonians 2:10 “Because they did not receive the love of the truth, God will send them strong delusion. (End-time context).
2 John 1:10-11 “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your home nor greet him.”
1 Timothy 4:1 “The Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.”
The verses above need no explanation. They are powerful indeed. Today we are in an environment where doctrine is being sidelined and replaced with, “Just love one another.”
●Jezebel in the church:
This is one of the many deadly, evil spirits in the end-time church. The Jezebel spirit is all about illegitimate domination and control, designed to bring down or nullify church leadership. The tragedy is that few church leaders these days are even aware of this demon spirit.
It attacks families and anywhere where God’s authority structure is found as well.
You do not make peace with Jezebel – you kill her violently. (Not the individual but the spirit).
I have done an entire edition on this subject which you can find HERE. (It is the most hated edition so far.)
●Israel is of no consequence. The Palestinians must have half of Jerusalem and the land of Israel.
This will become the big issue of the end-times. Many churches teach that because Israel rejected our Lord, God has rejected them and is finished with them.
Of course God did reject them, but that’s not the end of the story.
God brings the Jews back into their land in spiritual blindness and when this is complete He lifts that blindness and completes His original call and work with the Jews.
If God is finished with the Jews, then the Palestinians have a legitimate right to the land in terms of democracy and internationalism.
The false doctrines around this issue will spark the next Holocaust and be the dividing fence between heaven and hell for many people.
●You do not need the baptism in the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit to see and deal with demons. (Yes you do!)
Please be very sure of one thing. Satan does not operate alone. He has a host of multitudes of demons working with him. Because you can’t see them does not mean they are not there.
You need spiritual equipping, certain tools and weapons to see and deal with unseen demons.
The baptism in the Spirit supplies these weapons of spiritual warfare.
The baptism in the Spirit is also for your edification, to speak mysteries to God, to magnify God, for assurance of faith, unity, protection, discernment, stability, power, authority, endurance, self control, prophetic insight and more.
These attributes and more can be found in the following verses:
Acts 1:18, Acts 19:1-7, Acts 2:38-39, Acts 10:44-47, Acts 2:18, John 14:16, Acts 2:3-4, 1 Corinthians 1:7, 1 Corinthians 14:4, 1 Corinthians 12:12, Romans 12:2.
Many who come against the baptism in the Spirit use the following verse. They say, “You see tongues will cease” But the question is when. The verse is very interesting. It indicates that tongues will cease but knowledge will vanish away. In the original, the word for ‘cease’ means an immediate cessation, while “vanish away” means over a time period.
This verse actually implies a pre-tribulation rapture. That is when tongues will cease in an instant.
1 Corinthians 13:8-13 “Love never fails, but whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues they will cease; whether there is knowledge it will vanish away. When that is perfect is come, then that which is in part will be done away with...For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know as I am known.”
These last days are a time of immense spiritual conflict. If ever there is a time for the full equipping of God’s provision it is now.
►By the way, I distance myself from the ministries that abuse the gifts and have turned them into a lying, magic circus performance. The likes of Benny Hinn and others – I stand completely aloof from.
●Jesus was married.
This may seem somewhat obscure, but it may also be very important. The Dan Brown heresy centres on one main theme, which is that Jesus was married and had kids.
If that were so, there would be people around today who have pure undefiled blood in them with no Adamic curse. The one thing that did make our Lord Yeshua different from all other human beings is that He was born of a virgin with no earthly father, thus sidestepping the curse of the sin-nature that came to us all through Adam.
The logical conclusion of Brown’s deception is that there are people now with the pure blood, Arian, Christ-blood in them. This then makes them divine and equal with the deity of God. Do you see where this is going?
This is important in that sometime soon an individual will arise claiming to be God in the flesh. This will be the antichrist. He will be able to demonstrate in some way that he is pure and has no Adamic curse in him and therefore he will have the ability to be as God, including miracle working.
So, Dan Brown, did you know that you were preparing the way for the devil himself? By the way Dan, I have never and never will read one of your cursed words.
Those who have the unredeemed blood of Adam in them see those with the redeeming blood of Messiah in them as the evil enemy.
There is a similar evil doctrine in the Catholic church.
The Catholic church claims Mary was conceived without original sin. On the Catholic feast of so-called Immaculate Conception, the Catholics repeat the blasphemous phrase; “Oh Mary, our mother, today the people of God, in celebration, venerate you, the immaculate, preserved from the contagion of sin from the beginning. The full story is Here.
Catholicism has thousands of fathers, many are homosexuals wearing frocks. It has a mother who is not a virgin. None of them – not one is my father or mother. I reject them all – every one! (Matthew 23:9)
How to prevent deception:
You can’t in your own strength. You can’t as a compromised Christian. You can only do so through the power of the cross and the shed blood, together with the full equipping of God and the use of His provisions and gifts.
You must know your Bible very well under the leading and guiding of the Spirit of God. If you feed your spirit with the good food of God’s word it will begin to dominate your life. If you feed your spirit with the cursed garbage of the world – it will dominate your life.
The good news:
Very soon Satan will be cast out and bound. The future universe will go through one more brief rebellion at the end of the Millennium, but for all true believers, the second we step into eternity – that’s it! Our glorious future is signed, sealed and delivered forever.
Personally, it is an accomplished fact now, but the full manifestation is at the salvation or glorification of our bodies.
If you want to get a brief glimpse of the glory that awaits us please have a look at edition 197 entitled “The glory of the future universe”. Click Here.
Final thoughts:
Proverbs 1:28-29 “Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will seek Me diligently, but will not find Me, because they hated knowledge (of God) and did not chose the fear of the Lord.”
There is one big issue with the coming of the Satan. He is and will try to delay the coming of the Lord and he will do everything in his power to neutralise his biggest enemy – the word of God and those born of the blood and Spirit of God.
I created this image from a number of bits and pieces of art work blended into one. The theme is the cross with death on one side of the cross and life on the other.
