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:
Taking stock of The Prophetic Scroll (TPS):
Sometimes it’s good to take stock of where we have come from, where we are and where we are going. It’s good to “write the vision and make it plain.” It’s good to always have an eye on the future.
It has been more than a pleasure and privilege to serve my God, firstly.
Secondly, serving you in these dangerous, dramatic and thrilling years, has been as much a pleasure. We are now on the verge of new, spine-tingling, heart-stopping times!
I have always endeavoured to keep the cross of Calvary central and to keep TPS a messenger of the cross – a crucified messenger. This has been in many respects a “not I, but Messiah” publication.
The message has and always will have a slant towards Christian Zionism, but without going overboard and especially without the legalism that accompanies so many “Messianic” ministries.
The message is to the Jew first and the Gentile. To the Jew it is the message of the “pierced Messiah” now, or the sacrifice of coming Holocaust and ultimate hell!
My aim through TPS is primarily to help you prepare for irreversible eternity. It is not to present you with head knowledge of endless, irrelevant news events, doctrine or teaching. It is not to minister only to your heart. It is to minister to both, your head and your heart, and most importantly, to assist you in breaking your hearts open before our Lord.
This is not a regular ministry. It is not directly associated with any church institution or organisation, but is aimed at all believers and the wider Kingdom of God. The ministry is designed to impact your heart and fill your head with Spirit-breathed truth.
The slant is towards end-time prophecy, but not exclusively. My aim is never to appease error, but to hit it head on. This ministry will come against many of the great dangers in the church today (as revealed in prophecy) and will show no favouritism to anyone.
The ministry of TPS will show no favouritism or partiality in rebuke, correction, teaching, training and encouraging. The Prophetic Scroll is designed to thrill you, inspire you and bring you face to face with our great God.
I have been berated and insulted by many especially within the denominational, Spirit-less churches, the worst of all, from some within the Hebrew Roots movement. They hate me with a passion, because I will not come under their legalistic spell.
I have had so many wonderful, positive testimonies from people around the world, some over the top! Perhaps about 95% have been positive. I can only turn all of that to our Lord with thankfulness. Please don’t underestimate this ministry; I know it is a work of the Lord – for your benefit.
My style is pointed, personal and direct, but with a conversational bias. Above all it is to share with you what our Lord shares with me.
My purpose is never to use manipulation or sensationalism. I seek nothing that will draw attention to me. That is one of the reasons that there is no feed-back allowed on the site, besides by email.
On a personal note, I have done much just lately, to seek and prepare myself more and more for what lies ahead. This has been at my Lord’s instruction and for your benefit.
Talya:
This beautiful word means: “The dew of heaven.” Dew is a beautiful, life-giving creation of the living God.
You may have noticed that in almost every edition, I have placed certain relevant “drops of the dew of heaven” (Talya) in the form of jewels of revelation.
Deuteronomy 32:2 “Let my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distil as the dew of heaven, as raindrops on the tender herb and as showers on the grass.”
Zechariah 8:12-13 “The seed shall be prosperous, the vine shall give her fruit and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew. I will cause the remnant of the people (Israel) to possess all these things. Just as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing...”
“Talya” is to the Gentile church, “Talya” is to the Jew...That is the exciting purpose of this publication. That is the alluring, heart-stopping and heart-warming, purpose.
TPS is designed to assist you to store up treasure in heaven. That means that you need to live sacrificially now. That means supporting the gospel. It means knowing God, His ways and making Him known. It means exalting and glorifying God. It means avoiding false teachers (2 John 1:8)
It is to assist you gain an “abundant entry into the everlasting kingdom”. (2 Peter 1:11)
TPS is designed to assist you in gaining an exciting kingdom vision, which is far broader then a local church vision. I do honour and respect the leadership of most local churches. I will always have problems with and criticise the blind leaders of the dead, Spirit-less, mostly denominational churches and their putrid, contaminated boards of directors, who have more in common spiritually with the Pied Piper, than God’s shepherds.
On a personal note, I have followed our Lord without backsliding for well over 40 years, which has been an immense pleasure and purely of His grace. It is getting better all the time, even as I struggle with certain minor health issues. I look forward to serving you in the dramatic times that lie ahead.
† Shalom...Joel.
Edition 308: April 20th 2016
The drama of Passover:
The drama of Passover:
Introduction:
The purpose of this edition is to show the importance, significance and drama of Passover, its richness, major messages and the incredible satanic attack on it by a large part of the church.
You must see and know just what it is, that the church has thrown out.
We are now at the start of the biblical season of holy feast days starting with Passover.
In considering the momentous damage done to the holy convocations of the Lord, by the Catholic church through the ages, you might like to consider that the name “Vatican” means “divining serpent.” And the word “Catholic” means “universal.” So here we have a religion trying to become universal, as it always has, empowered by the divining serpent.
The seven Feasts are called “The Feasts of the Lord.” They are not the Jewish Feasts. If you say, like many deceived ministers that they are the Jewish Feasts, then you must say that Passover is of and for the Jews! Perhaps you think then, that Easter is for the Gentile church!
Leviticus 15:31 “You shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, lest they die in their uncleanness when they defile My tabernacle that is among them.”
1 Corinthians 5:8 “Let us keep the feast (Passover), not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”
Of course the seven feasts are for the children of Israel, but they are more than that, they are not limited to the Jews, they are for the people of the Lord.
The drama of Passover:
●Passover marks the original birth of the nation of Israel. Isn’t it interesting that as the children of Israel fled Egypt, the enemy came after them immediately?
●In our times, the day after the modern birth of the state of Israel in 1948, they were attacked by numerous Arab nations in the “War of Independence.” These Arab nations were all defeated, by Israel’s rag-tag volunteer army, one day old!
●Now as Israel is about to enter her final and most important birth, the new birth, – the whole world (including much of the church) is pursuing and attacking her! Do you want to bet what the outcome will be?
Passover is really about the greatest, most dramatic story ever conceived, and told!
It is about the escape from the slavery of sin, the world system, the control of demons, the sacrifice for all sin by our Lord of glory, the rising to newness of holy life, the ultimate defeat of all pursuing enemies, and the glory of all things to come.
The depths of Passover:
Hosea 13:6 “...They were filled and their heart was exalted; therefore they forgot Me. So I will be to them like a lion.”
There is much more to Passover than meets the Gentile, Christian, Roman, Babylon-influenced, chocolate and marshmallow egg-eyes of the church.
Passover is inextricably linked to the original Passover from which the name is derived.
The original Passover was the liberation of the children of Israel by God, through supernatural means from Egyptian slavery.
Stop right here. The children of Israel are the present day Jews, forever linked to the biblical land of Israel (the Promised Land) and the city of Jerusalem. Egypt is always a type of the world - system devoid of God. God’s deliverance of the children of Israel speaks of the supernatural power of God.
So, in today’s terms, Passover is directly linked and associated with Jews and their land, their captivity by the world system, its ways and evils. Today, Passover is directly associated with the very soon - coming supernatural acts of God to deliver His people from the death-wishes of Islam, Europe and much of the world and some of the church.
Passover is forever directly associated with the coming salvation of the Jews in large numbers as the veil of blindness is lifted.
Passover is directly associated with the deaths of billions of people in the tribulation period who reject and pursue the Jews again.
Amazing Passover practises:
One of the Passover practices is to clean out your home of all breads, cakes and everything made with yeast, which is type of sin. Unleavened bread is yeast-free bread. This unleavened bread, matzos, must be spiked and striped when made. This speaks in type of our Messiah being whipped and crucified. (Isaiah 53:5, Matthew 26:26)
The Passover meal must be of lamb, wine, unleavened bread and bitter herbs – all with their amazing types.
Traditionally, three pieces of matzos are used at the meal. The middle one is broken, and one of the two pieces is hidden until after the Passover meal of lamb and the wine has been consumed. This middle broken piece of matzos must be wrapped in a napkin when is hidden, to be sought for after the meal. Do you see the incredible types in this biblical practice?
Amazingly, in the church this has all been replaced with the Easter ham, the pig being a symbol of the antichrist.
Biblically, the pig, swine, or wild boar, is a type of demon spirits, the devil, the antichrist, the base, beastly, unclean, unholy or carnal attributes of mankind.
During Passover a copper tag was put around the neck of the lamb bearing the name of family so that their lamb could be identified when it was sacrificed. After the sacrifice they would say, “It is finished”.
This is symbolic of the “tag” nailed to the cross, saying, “Yeshua of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” He became the Lamb of sacrifice for all that are named believers. The triumphant cry “It is finished” signalled the end of the sacrifice and completion of the work of salvation.
Passover culminates in the Feast of Firstfruits commemorating the resurrection three days and nights after the crucifixion. Easter crams this into two days and nights in defiance of God’s word.
Let my people go:
The Jews cried out to God for deliverance from Egyptian captivity / slavery. Moses cried out “Let my people go”. Pharaoh refused to let them go. God then spoke with Moses telling him that He would strike every Egyptian home with the death of their firstborn.
The Jewish captives were to slay a lamb and take some of the blood to mark their doorposts. They were to eat the sacrificial lamb. The promise from God was that He would pass over and spare the homes marked with the blood of the lamb.
The great Passover led to the great Exodus and the death of those coming after the Jews, now free and heading into their Promised Land. (Jeremiah 16:14-15)
The great cry of Moses to Pharaoh, “Let my people go” is only now reaching its catastrophic crescendo.
The second Exodus from “Egypt” (the world), is on the go now. A nation has been born in a day. Isaiah 66:8 “Who has heard of such a thing, shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once?” A pure language, Hebrew, has been restored. Zephaniah 3:9 “Then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they may all call on the name of the Lord, to serve Him with one accord.”
Pharaoh and his armies represented by Satan, the BDS Movement, all anti-Semitism, replacement theology in the church, fool politicians of the world and the blind masses, are all in pursuit of the Jews fleeing to their glorious new - found deliverance and soon coming mass salvation.
Passover, version two:
Passover version two is about to go into force.
You can’t separate Passover from the Exodus or the Second Exodus. You can’t separate the deaths of the pursuing Egyptian armies from the Passover. You can’t separate the soon coming slaughter of the modern Jew-haters from Passover. You can’t separate the soon coming deaths of the armies of the world in the modern “Red Sea” of blood, which will be the whole world!
Today the modern church is already “killing” the Jews by hindering their salvation. By refusing to “go to the Jews first” and refusing to “make them jealous”, as commanded in the Bible. They are trying to make the Jew jealous with insane, satanically poisoned chocolate bunny rabbits, marshmallow eggs, ham-eating rituals and other practices of the sex-goddess Ishtar (Easter) all creeping out the Babylonian temple of witchcraft.
Many blind ministers say that they don’t participate in the evils of Babylonian witchcraft; they just use the names and practices of the pagans.
Exodus 23:13 “Be circumspect and make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.”
Zephaniah 1:4 “...Against the inhabitants of Jerusalem, I will cut off every trace of Baal from this place, the names of the idolatrous priests, with the pagan priests.
Zechariah 13:2 “It shall be in that day, says the Lord of hosts, ‘that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause the prophets and the unclean spirits to depart from the land.”
Judges 10:13-14 “You have forsaken Me and served other gods. Therefore I will deliver you no more. Go and cry to the gods to which you have chosen; let them deliver you in your time of distress.”
2 Kings 17:32-34 “...Priests of the high places sacrificed in the shrines of the high places. They feared the Lord, yet served their own gods according to the rituals of the nations...to this day they continue practicing their former rituals; they do not fear the Lord...”
Jeremiah 10:2 “Do not learn the way of the pagans.” (This goes on to condemn the cutting down of the fir tree and decorating it with gold and silver!)
Isaiah 43:12 There was no foreign god among you; therefore you are My witnesses says the Lord.”
All of these verses above are shocking, but just this one directly above should be the lead verse in the anthem of all ministers!
Easter my friends, is filled with the stench of death, sin and all that is unholy. It has no roots in the Bible – only in the mass murdering popes and leaders of the Catholic church and all their councils, and it's still continuing today.
The attempted murder of Passover by the Easter bunny:
The Easter bunny is dead! Don’t cry for the demon - filled rabbit! The demonic rabbit tried to kill God’s chosen convocation, Passover. Like all God’s enemies the rabbit has been slaughtered. But be careful, its empty, dead shell still has demons of deception all around it.
Smash the Easter bunny; tramp on and squash the Easter egg. Throw the Easter ham into the fire!
When you blindly submit without question to the demon-filled, pagan, occult, traditions of Babylon brought into the church by the Catholics, you are opening yourselves to be led, into ever increasing deception.
Exodus 13:3 “Moses said to the people: ‘Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, for the strength of the hand of the Lord brought you out of this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.” This speaks of holiness.
The Catholic sacramental meal incorporates the vile doctrine of transubstantiation and the continuing sacrifice of the cross. There is no “it is finished” in the Catholic-created Easter.
Passover was forbidden by the Catholic church. This has filtered down through the ages, taken on by the reformers and is today entrenched in the church. It has been replaced by Babylonian, pagan Easter, or Ishtar, the name of the goddess of sex.
Here is one of a number of terrible utterances from the Catholic church councils many hundreds of years ago:
(From the Catholic Council: Eusebius, Vita Const., Lib. iii.)
“It was declared to be particularly unworthy for this, the holiest of all festivals, (Easter) to follow the custom of the Jews, who had soiled their hands with the most fearful of crimes, and whose minds were blinded. In rejecting their custom, we may transmit to our descendants the legitimate mode of celebrating Easter… We ought not, therefore, to have anything in common with the Jews, for the Saviour has shown us another way…. we desire, dearest brethren, to separate ourselves from the detestable company of the Jews…”0)
1 Corinthians 10:20-22 “The things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. You can’t drink of the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you can’t partake of the Lord’s Table and the table of demons. Do we provoke the Lord? Are we stronger than He?”
Ezekiel 44:23 “They shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the unholy and cause them to discern between the clean and the unclean.”
Why is Passover so important?
The Jews are very soon to be saved in large numbers. The whole world will be astounded. Jews and true Christian Gentiles must unite in the truth. They must come together in all that is of the Lord and reject all that is not, especially that which is harmful and a serious abomination to the Jews.
Easter must die fast in the minds, lives and practises of anyone vaguely interested in the truth.
We as believers have a glorious, spectacular, wonderful heritage and future. We are destined to become one in Messiah with the Jewish believer. (Ephesians 2:15)
We are not one new man with Babylon, the Catholics, the Pagans, the occult, Easter bunnies, chocolate eggs symbolising sex with the high priestess of sex – Ishtar (Easter).
Let me make myself very clear. I separate myself and The Prophetic Scroll totally and completely from every single form of, belief or practise of every convocation, ritual and celebration originating in Babylon and the Catholic church.
If you haven’t realised it by now, Passover is the great separation. It makes true biblical Christianity with its Hebraic flavour removed and unreachable for all outside of the cross.
If you have been crucified with Messiah – you have died. You have also been raised to newness of life. This process, death to resurrection is the great purifier and cleanser. It strips away sin, evil and wickedness. So, why then do so many think they can replace the remembrance and celebration of this event with the occult?
►Passover symbolises coming out of Egypt not going into Babylon. There is no Passover in Easter.
Passover was nothing but the deliverance of the Jews by the sprinkling of blood on their doors. If you reject Passover and replace it with Easter, you are in fact proclaiming death to the Jews. The symbolism of Passover includes the sacrifice of a lamb. The symbolism of Easter includes the sacrifice of a pig –a type of the antichrist.
Easter is the sign of Satan in the church. It is the sign (with Christmas) of the world church. Easter and Christmas are a sign to the Jews to keep out, both originating in the place the Jews were held captive – Babylon.
The world will not practice Passover, but will participate in Easter. True believers will not participate in Easter and will identify with Passover.
Remember that this entire issue is supernaturally charged with the Spirit of God and the spirits of demons and devils.
Requirements for Israel’s victory:
If you want to walk in victory and freedom with God’s help and backing, you need to meet His conditions! These verses were written to Israel, but most certainly apply to all believers:
Deuteronomy 23:9 “When the army goes out against your enemies, then keep yourself from every wicked thing.”
Deuteronomy 23:14 “The Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp to deliver you and give your enemies over to you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that He may see no unclean thing among you, and turn away from you.”
Exodus 23:13 “Be circumspect and make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.”
Participating in any way with or in these evil rituals (or just using the names) will nullify God’s power in you.
My friends we are now on the verge of great spiritual battles. Do you think that a church that is full of paganism will be protected? Just read those verses above again!
A most important summary:
Passover is about the supernatural deliverance from slavery to sin. It is about being taken out of Egypt, which is the world. It is about supernatural cleansing and being made holy and pure through redemption. It is about being made God’s own precious people. It is about going into the Promised Land, the Millennium and heaven.
Passover is also about the Second Exodus, on the go now, the land of Israel, the city, and the people about to be saved, all through the supernatural power of our God, and the destruction of God’s enemies.
Easter is about supernatural captivity by Satan to paganism. It is about a false resurrection in two days instead of three days and nights. It’s about the false Messiah, the antichrist. It is about the attempted forced return of the Jews to captivity in Babylon. Easter is all about evil and wicked supernatural forces of entrapment.
Remember how God destroyed the nations in which the children of Israel were captive? Egypt, Babylon, the Roman Empire and others were all destroyed, even though God’s purposes for the Jews were accomplished.
Bear in mind that Egypt had to deal with massive plagues before the Exodus. Will we now see plagues strike the world (Egypt) ahead of the full completed Second Exodus from the nations of the world? You bet! Just read the Revelation!
By the way there is one frightening extension to this. As God destroyed the enemies of Israel, He will now do the same in the churches of replacement theology and anti-Semitism. Spiritual plagues are coming to many pulpits and pews.
Finally:
Philippians 3:10 “That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.”
Our Lord has supplied and given us power to walk right and in holiness before Him, but don’t think that it’s all automatic with no resistance and attacks.
We have before us the choice to know and identify with the great journey from Torah through the law, to grace and the purity of the New Covenant epistles. Or we could choose the paganism of Babylon, Rome and the perversions of the Roman Catholic church, the reformers and the lukewarm modern church in all its sin and evil.
One way is the way of God based on Spirit led truth. The other is the way of man, the world, and the demonic.
I took these pictures in the Okavango, Botswana. I’ve messed around with filters to create the background effects with the baobab tree. It is one tree, but I’ve applied different effects.
Shalom and grow in grace!
