This website is distinctly Messianic, comprising the Abrahamic expression of faith, which is to the Jew and the Gentile with a Hebraic character. We affirm the fullness of absolute truth contained in the Bible, embracing the cross and identifying with the convocations of the Lord as seen in the Feasts, the Sabbath and Passover. We reject the legalism of many in the Messianic movement. We reject the Babylonian Pagan traditions of the church. We consider all people Jews and Gentiles and those in all churches who are truly born of the Spirit of the living God to be one family. We reject institutional organised denominationalism (division). We foresee a great falling away of much of the church in these days, while at the same time a great restoration of part of the church. We affirm and identify with God's plan and call to the Jewish people in these days and will support and stand with them as future brothers and sisters. We stand happily with pre / mid/ and post tribbers. Our slant is cautiously pre-trib, but hey, post tribber...you're still family! Today much error has been added to Christendom and much truth has been removed. The Prophetic Scroll's aim is to deal with these issues and assist you on your road to glory. I was saved in 1976 and became extremely interested in Bible prophecy, being an ex war-correspondent and photographer. My calling and aim is to share the dramatic and all-important issues of prophecy relating to our day. This is a calling to unfold and share the wisdom of God as contained in His word. There is also much teaching in these pages for your heart. It’s not all prophecy! Please study these things further yourself and understand that the format is non-exhaustive. Please search the scriptures to “see if these be true.” This is a "watchman" and Bible prophecy teaching website. |

●The recent US-led airstrike on Syria has led to a big zero again – so far. Israel was not involved in any way and no involvement came from Russia or Iran. Prophetically, it leaves us watching and waiting again. Of course, Russia may respond militarily at any time. We will watch. But for now it’s a waiting game again, and not the big event many are saying. It does however consolidate the players, identifying them. But they are still in the wings of the stage. There have been many threats and rhetoric from some nations, including Iran, but no action. Do bear in mind that this entire issue is volatile and can change in a flash...and probably will.
●As Israel warms up for its 70-year birthday celebrations, census numbers have been released. The population inside Israel now stands at 8.842 million. This is 43% of world Jewry. I wonder when it will hit the important biblical number of 888. Pretty soon I think!
●Funny thing this: The UN has just celebrated “International Day of Happiness.” Israel ranks highest in the “happiness” stakes – (BIN)
Shabbat (Sabbath) begins on Fridays at 6pm and ends on Saturdays at 6pm. The purpose is to help the church and Israel become reconciled in Messiah and to identify the rift, and the needed restoration. There is much in the church that needs to change before it can be fully reconciled with the Jew. Likewise, changes in Jewish thinking are also needed.

Shabbat Shalom to all:
The need for revelation (and news update)
Today marks a significant milestone for me personally. I won’t go into details, but I would like to thank Joanne Smith in New York, for standing with me in prayer and support.
Middle East update:
The stage has changed dramatically very quickly. All the puzzle-pieces are in place.
We await the prophecy “go” from the grand Director.
Assad’s Syria has welcomed in Iran to set up numerous military bases with Iranian personal. Syria has also invited Russia in to do the same, which they have done. Turkey also has a presence. Syria is no longer Syria from a military perspective.
Syria is now Syria, Russia, Iran and Turkey. That makes Syria and Iran a nuclear power, in that nuclear-Russia will act on their behalf if required. Of course, Russia will also act independently within Syria to achieve its own goals.
We know that the stated goal of Iran is to destroy Israel. Now Iran has proxy-nukes – Russia’s nukes!
At this stage, the entire situation in Syria is volatile, but is not significant prophetically, until Israel is brought into the picture.
We have seen a few minor skirmishes as far as Israel is concerned, but nothing major. Very soon Israel will be drawn in, with the US and some others as an ally, including Saudi Arabia (Sheba.)
Do you see that this is already not a local Syria issue anymore? Do you see that this is already gearing up for WW111, the destruction of Damascus, the Psalm 83 war and Gog / Magog?
The big issue here is that it is all so perfectly aligned with the descriptions of the great war of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38 / 39, Isaiah 17. All the players are on the stage!
Revelation knowledge:
The meaning of the word “revelation” is “unveiling.” The book of Revelation is correctly entitled – “The unveiling of Messiah.”
As John received the Revelation, he fell to the ground as dead. Jacob met the Lord in the form of an angel and was struck to the ground in a wrestle which left him with a permanent limp. Moses met the Lord and was struck to the ground, which left his face scorched. Paul met the Lord on the road and was struck to the ground and left blinded for three days.
Do you see the common factor? Those who had an open encounter with the revealed Lord were all struck to the ground and left forever affected in some way.
Today many claim to have met the Lord but they are unchanged and still full of all their garbage. They are liars, looking for self-assurance and self-affirmation.
Shockingly, the Bible calls itself “dead letter.” To most that’s all it is – a bunch of fairy tales and ancient words with as much relevance as a telephone directory. But to some, it is the very living, alive, relevant, speaking word of power and life.
Many spend their lives studying the Bible – wasting their time! They end up with a head full of dead-letter. There is something required that many miss. The word “knowledge” is “gnosis” and it means ordinary plain knowledge. The word “epi-gnosis” means revelation knowledge – from above. It is similar to the meaning of the “rhema.
This is what we need! We need the word to come to life. We need real revelation. It’s a lot more than a aha moment!
Real revelation knowledge is one of the gifts of the Spirit. It is absolutely necessary for today. You need it for leading and guiding and His light in this dark world. It is exclusively for those who meet God’s conditions.
Psalm 43:3 “Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me and bring me to Your holy hill.”
Note in the verse above that it is both “light” and “truth” together. This is the essence of revelation. It is this revelation that “engraves” truth on your heart and it becomes part of you.
Revelation produces clear sight and understanding. But more than that, it causes endurance. The day you see the resurrected Lord and understand at least something of His glory, is the day you will never forget Him or turn from Him.
It’s much the same with many aspects of life. For example the traditions and customs of man are generally (not always) rooted in paganism, witchcraft and the like. People won’t change or get rid of that until real revelation comes along. Then it’s easy to change.
Have you fallen on your face before our Lord in total surrender – literally? If not you have never fully surrendered and have many dark “rooms” in your life which are closed to Him.
† Shalom...Joel.
Edition 296: January 27th 2016
Implications of the lifting veil!
Implications of the lifting veil!
Introduction:
Jeremiah 31:3-4 “I have loved you (Israel) with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness I have drawn you in. Again I will build you and you shall be rebuilt, O virgin Israel! You shall again be adorned with your tambourines and go forth and dance with those who rejoice.”
Romans 11:12-15 “If their fall (Jews) is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!...If by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
In the previous two editions I looked at the reason and objections the Jews have to Yeshua as their Messiah. In fact there are no biblically sound reasons at all. The Bible reveals that the Jews will soon see and recognise their Messiah as the veil is lifted. Then I looked at the coming destruction of Israel’s arch-enemy, Islam, from a biblical point of view. All of this leads to the great climax of the age as God Himself lifts the veil of spiritual blindness upon the Jews, leading to their mass recognition of their Jewish Messiah – Yeshua.
But there are many implications of this for the Jews, for the church and for the unsaved world.
You can’t say that you love the Lord or love God, if you don’t love His word and His choices. If you think you do – you are great big blind liar!
This wonderful and frightening drama:
As the veil of spiritual blindness lifts, the Jews will begin to see their Messiah. But at the same time Satan knows that this spells his own imminent, total, eternal, defeat. So of course he goes into high gear to try and stop this from happening, and spread confusion around the whole issue.
This is why Islam is about to become even more deadly than it has been. This is where the age-old attack of the spirits of Babylon, Rome, Hitler and now Islam all arise to try to defeat God’s purposes.
Those of us who have become privileged of God, and so extremely fortunate to know Him and His word, know that it will all work out just as He said.
There are many things you can do to stand with and help Israel as her time of great reckoning gets closer.
You can ignore it all and go with the blind crowd or you can do something.
●You can stand against the UN. Take the opposite view even if it’s only in prayer. After all, the UN does not speak for you. They speak against Israel on everything all the time.
●You can take a stand against the churches attacking Israel economically in the BDS movement. If you are part of those churches get out now, run, and flee from them. They have cursed themselves to judgement and destruction.
The veil of spiritual blindness is about to be whipped away. Many wonderful prophetic things will happen fast now.
Zechariah 3:9 “...I will remove the iniquity of that land (Israel) in one day.”
Isaiah 49:19 “For your waste and desolate places (land of Israel) and the land of your destruction, will even now be too small for the inhabitants.”
Isaiah 10:21 “The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.”
Isaiah 45:17 “Israel shall be saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation...”
Hosea 6:1-2 “Come let us return to the Lord; for He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has stricken us but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight.” (2 Peter 3:8 “A day with the Lord is as a thousand years.)
Implications of the lifting veil for Israel
2 Corinthians 3:14-16 “Their (Jews) minds were hardened. Until this day, the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Covenant, because the veil is taken away in the Messiah. Even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. When one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”
In the verse above we see how the veil is taken away. My Jewish friends, please keep in mind that your Messiah-rejecting Rabbis will keep the veil of blindness over you. It is only in Messiah that the veil is lifted.
You need a radical change – it is coming!
Isaiah 5:13 “My people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge (of God).”
Jeremiah 3:14-15 “Return, O backsliding children, says the Lord; for I am married to you. I will take you one from a city and two from a family and I will bring you to Zion and I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.”
Israel you will be getting “new shepherds” according to the verse above. You will see your Jewish Messiah – Yeshua. But don’t accept new shepherds of Babylon!
Isaiah 48:20 “Go forth, get out of Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, ‘The Lord has redeemed His servant Jacob (Israel).”
Who are the shepherds of Babylon? They are the ministers of the churches formed and moulded by the Catholic church. They are full of pagan Babylonian practises, convocations and traditions.
An easy way to identify a Babylonian church or ministry is in its rejection of the biblical convocations like the Feasts of the Lord and the replacement of them with occult convocations like Christmas and Easter.
Here is a message to the Jews: The Catholic church is your enemy. They do not love you, they want you to obey their laws and do their works and give them your money. They want to control you! They hate you. They do not want you to honour your God and your Hebraic traditions and convocations. They want you to accept their abominations. Don’t do it.
Big changes will and must come to you, Jewish friends. Your Messiah will show you and lead you, but you must be open to change.
Jeremiah 3:16-18 It shall come to pass when you are multiplied and increased in the land in those days, says the Lord, that they will say no more, ‘The Ark of the covenant of the Lord’, it shall not come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit it, nor shall it be made anymore. Jerusalem shall be called, the Throne of the Lord...In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north...”
Isaiah 62:2-4 “The Gentiles shall see your righteousness and all kings your glory. And you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will name...You shall be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord...You shall no longer be termed forsaken...You shall be called Hephzibath and your land Beulah, for the Lord delights in you.”
The name “Hephzibath” is an ancient Hebrew name meaning: “My delight is in her.” The name “Beulah” means: “The land shall be married.”
Hosea 14:4-6 “I will heal their backslidings, I will love them freely, for My anger has turned away from them. I will be like the dew to Israel; He shall grow like a lily...His beauty shall be like an olive tree...”
Isaiah 54:14 “In righteousness, you shall be established.”
What should the Jews do as the veil is lifted?
Your sins led you into Babylonian captivity for 70 years, but don’t feel alone. The church, due to her sins, was led into Babylonian captivity for much longer and in many cases is still trapped right there. They can’t get out because they can’t see their captivity, and they don’t have the power to escape.
Jeremiah 4:1 “If you return O Israel, says the Lord, return to Me; and if you will put away your abominations out of My sight, then you shall not be moved.”
Jeremiah 4:14 “O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?”
Keeping the laws of the Rabbis, Mohammed, or the popes brings a curse not a blessing. You love your own child don’t you? He will obey you because he loves you, not because he has to by law.
It is only the living God who really loves you, and all those born into His family by birth.
Matthew 23:39 “I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
My Jewish friends, the time is approaching fast when you say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” Then your eyes will open and you will see your Messiah whom you pierced.
Implications of the lifting veil for the church:
The verses below are indeed dramatic and revolutionary. Few people know they exist or what they actually say. They are not addressed to unbelievers. They are addressed to people who have “forsaken the Lord”, implying that they once had the Lord. They are referring to people who once could “hear the word of the Lord.”
They are referring to those who have now chosen what God hates. These verses fit perfectly with those within the dead churches and others, who now come against God’s plans for Israel. These are the churches of replacement theology!
***Isaiah 65:11-12 “You are those who forsake the Lord, who forget My holy mountain (Israel)...therefore I will number you for the sword and you shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you did not answer, when I spoke you did not hear, but did evil before My eyes and chose that in which I do not delight.”
***Isaiah 65:13-14 “Behold, My servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed; behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and wail for grief of spirit.”
***Isaiah 65:15-16 “You shall leave your name as a curse to My people (Jews), for the Lord God will slay you, and call His servants by another name....He shall bless himself in the God of truth.”
Isaiah 62:2-4 “The Gentiles shall see your righteousness (Jews) and all kings your glory. And you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will name...You shall be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord...You shall no longer be termed forsaken...You shall be called Hephzibath and your land Beulah, for the Lord delights in you.”
The name “Hephzibath” is an ancient Hebrew name meaning: “My delight is in her.” The name “Beulah” means: “The land shall be married.”
My friends, these verses alone (above) should forever silence the evil ministries of today that come against God’s plans for Israel and who support the Palestinian cause above God’s plans.
If you want to mess with God’s truth – let it be upon your own head. It will anyway, and you will regret it forever.
Churches and Christians in the anti-Israel camp and the camp of replacement theology, you still have a chance to repent, although the damage you are causing is becoming more severe and satanically charged. Change your tune now and fast, or reap what’s coming, but don’t say you were not warned!
I warn, warn, warn, warn you now.
Romans 11:21-22 “If God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God; on those who fell, severity; but towards you goodness; if you continue in His goodness, otherwise you also will be cut off.” (Like Israel was cut off from their own olive tree.)
Genesis 12:3 “I will bless those who bless you (Israel), and I will curse him who curses you.”
Isaiah 60:14 “Those who afflicted you shall come bowing to you, and those who despised you, shall fall prostrate at the soles of your feet; and they shall call you, ‘the city of the Lord, Zion the Holy One of Israel.”
Ezekiel 35:13-14 “With your mouth you have boasted against Me and multiplied your words against Me and I have heard them. Thus says the Lord God, the whole earth will rejoice when I make you desolate.” (This staggering verse is addressed to the Arab people of today and their friends who come against God’s plans.)
Psalm 129:5 “Let them all be confounded and turned back who hate Zion.”
Psalm 68:1 “Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: Let them that hate Him flee before Him.”
Israel-attacking, hate filled churches, here is the word of the Lord complied from the verses above for you:
You are already and will be: Scattered, confounded, cut off, made desolate, not spared, God’s severity is upon you, you are cursed.
It’s not my business to tell anyone what church to go to or not to. I never do that. I put out warnings and leave things to you. We are commanded to examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith. We are commanded not to compare ourselves amongst ourselves, but against the full doctrine of Messiah. We are not to entertain any false doctrine, but avoid it. We are to judge with spiritual judgement.
That all said, I warn you against all churches of replacement theology (including all churches who support and participate in the BDS Movement). They are on such incredibly thin ice. They are going down. They will be handed over to powerful spiritual forces of deception and evil. Get out now!
***Esther 4:14 “For if you remain silent at this time; deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for a time such as this?”
***Isaiah 62:1 “For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth like brightness and her salvation as a lamp that burns.”
If all this Israel truth is new to you or you haven’t been taught any of it, you can and must ask our Lord to open your eyes and give you a love for Israel and the Jews. It will come just like a new birth.
Implications of the lifting veil for the nations of the world;
Isaiah 60:12 “For the nation and kingdom which will not serve you (Israel in this context) shall perish, and those nations shall be utterly ruined.”
Zechariah 2:8 “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you (Israel); for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.”
The lifting of the veil of spiritual blindness upon the Jews will absolutely infuriate the god of this world, Satan and his hosts. The full intensity of this takes place throughout the seven year tribulation period, with forerunners now.
The unsaved world will have no idea what’s actually going on in the spirit realm, and won’t be able to see the veil of spiritual blindness being lifted from the Jews by God. They will however fulfil Satan’s word, will and plan, by coming against it all.
All the nations of the world will come against Israel in the days of the lifting veil because it is the final proof of all Bible prophecy and essentially separates the saved Jews from the world forever. It is the final great failure of the world and its god.
We see powerful repeating patterns from the Bible.
Perhaps the most powerful story is that of Pharaoh releasing the Jews from Egypt to go to the Promised Land, only to pursue them to kill them, and getting himself and his army killed in the process!
All the Roman Emperors tried to wipe out the Jews as did Hitler, only to have themselves defeated. The Roman Catholic church tried to wipe out the Jews in successive Inquisitions, but they have not been destroyed yet. They await a very great and final destruction as part of God’s plan revealed in the Revelation. The Arabs tried to destroy Israel in six successive wars, only for themselves to be defeated each time.
We will soon see an Arab confederacy try to destroy Israel (Psalm 83). They will be destroyed. We will soon see the nations of the north (Gog and Magog) with many allies try to destroy Israel. They will all ultimately be destroyed.
The unrighteous and the unsaved and even the saved but rebellious will not see any of the signs of these things coming. As always they are walking around like blind men and women, not knowing where they are going or what lies ahead of them.
Finally:
“Sing for joy of heart, or cry with sorrow of heart, and wail for grief of spirit.”
Church, this is the choice before you. You can be a singing friend of God’s choice and plan or reject it. If you reject it, you have chosen sorrow and grief. It is coming your way. It will be on your doorstep soon.
Do you think that statement above is true, or just a few empty words? Have you noticed the choice of Europe? Have you noticed how they have rejected God’s plans for the Jews for a long time now and chosen to let in hordes of Quran-based Muslim migrants?
Have you noticed that Europe must now live with their choices and welcome in rape and murder? Have you noticed that Europe is on the edge of “sorrow of heart and grief of spirit?” Have you noticed how Europe is making the situation worse daily?
Israel, repent and open your eyes. In all sincerity repent. As you do, the immensely powerful spirit of forgiveness will flood into your lives. The power of God will be in you to help you.
You, Jews, will soon be singing for joy of heart to your God and many Christians who love our mutual Jewish Messiah will be rejoicing with you. It will all be like life from the dead!
Both remnant Jew, soon to be saved, and Christian bless yourselves in the God of truth!
Home away from home! This is my rather basic, simple home in the bush. It has no running hot or cold water, no electricity, no toilet (except a spade) no air conditioning, no sound proofing, no furniture, no carpets, no kitchen sink, or no shower. But it has elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffalos, hyenas, thousands of birds and insects that make a symphony of sound better than any orchestra.
