This website is distinctly Messianic, comprising the Abrahamic expression of faith, which is to the Jew and the Gentile. We affirm the fullness of truth contained in the Bible, embracing the cross and identifying with the convocations of the Lord. 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 proclaim a kingdom vision. 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. Our slant is pre-trib! The Prophetic Scroll's aim is to glorify the living God.

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, all-important issues of prophecy relating to our day. Please study these things further yourself. Please search the scriptures to “see if these be true.” The Prophetic Scroll stands as a watchman in these exciting and dangerous days.

●New US sanctions and tariff rises on China, Russia, Turkey, the EU and some others have sent emerging markets into a tail-spin. Banking shares in Europe and emerging markets have plunged in a matter of days. Their currencies have crashed heavily, which causes rocketing inflation and slower growth. This all creates an immediate fall in confidence. These are the seeds of a new world economic crisis. Stock markets, currency markets and agricultural markets all work on a principle where the future expectation is built into the current price. Market pricing is all about perception of future value. So we do not have to wait for a new economic crisis to actually hit – it is already here, as I have explained. The all important issue is that the nations involved are all the nations of WW111 as revealed in Ezekiel 38&39. Israel, who is prospering agriculturally, will soon be in the cross-hairs! This lot can all go bang very quickly!

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.

10^th August 2018

Shabbat Shalom to all:

Suddenly!

There is very little time left!

I believe the tribulation period will begin on a Feast of Trumpets. There is a ton of evidence. If it is this one coming up next month, an enormous amount still has to fall into place. It could all happen very quickly. In fact the Bible hints at things lining up “suddenly” in numerous scriptures all over the Bible!

Is it possible that it won’t be this year? Yes of course it is, but unlikely. I think time is up!

Should we look at dates for the Lord’s coming? The answer is yes and no. We are to look at dates with expectancy. We should not set a date cast in stone, so to speak.

There are many great Bible teachers who have looked at dates and been right! They’ve been right because they have left the door open with a bit of leeway. Of course there are a great many others who discourage their flock by avoiding the subject all together.

Consider this scenario:

You live with your family of morons across the road from the railway station. You believe firmly in a pre-tribulation rapture of the church because you have studied it well. Your family goes to the church down the road led by Rev. Wolf. He doesn’t believe in any of this “end-time stuff” and not even the new birth.

You say to your family that you believe the train with the “Rapture” sign on front will be at the station at 10am. So you excuse yourself and run over to the station, while your family mocks you. At 10am the train does not come. You can now go back home and join your family sowing wild oats.

Or you can say to yourself: “Maybe the train is delayed and will be here at 10.15 or 10.30.” So you wait, and at 10.15 the train does not come, and as you look back across the road, like the wife of Lot, you see your family scoffing some more, as they drink themselves stupid.

So you stay where you are. And what’s this you hear at 10.30? It’s a train’s trumpet blast! And suddenly the train is here, picked you up and you are suddenly gone into the clouds, leaving a trail of smoke.

Suddenly, the world and its failed ministers will look for excuses or reasons. Many will say: “O thank God those crazy Christians have gone. It was a flock of UFO’s that took them.” You will say: “Thank you Lord, God of the universe, for exploding me out of the crazy world!”

Suddenly your family are shattered and instantly sober. Suddenly, they all repent, but reserve for themselves one last big sin. They go to the church down the road on Sunday and beat up Rev. Wolf, who of course is still there behind his pulpit.

lion-bible-hot-earth

Now your family are “tribulation saints,” and gentle Jesus has turned into the Lion of the tribe of Judah, full of wrath, confronting the wrath of Satan and of man.

You are now in heaven having the greatest of feasts unimaginable! They are going through the worst time known to man – ever. They rejected the blood of the Lamb, now their blood will be spilt. But at the end of the tribulation, you will see your family again, now they are one of the glorious families of the Millennium and not a family of morons anymore.

And who is this residing at number 8 Paradise Road? Let’s knock on the door. Why, it’s Rev. Wolf with no more black eyes, and a friendly, smiling, tail-wagging lion for a pet!

So, is it better to go to the station and wait with great expectation, or to go to the tribulation with two black eyes and then have your head cut off?

This story may have a tinge of humour to it, but it is deadly serious!

The atomic second the rapture train leaves the station it will produce worldwide shock and awe, fear and regret. Israel will be the recipients of the great shock! They thought they were God’s chosen and could do nothing wrong! Well, they are still God’s chosen but now they will suddenly repent in the fear of the Lord! They thought they could continue in their wickedness without judgement.

Jeremiah 8:6-11 “They do not speak aright. No man repented of his wickedness, saying what have I done? Everyone trusted in his own ways...Even the stork knows her appointed times, but My people do not know the judgement of the Lord.”

Deuteronomy 10:12 “Now, Israel, what does the Lord God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord with all your heart and soul.”

I think just after the rapture there will be long lines of people waiting at the train station, all in vain! Alas – too late, but not too late to make it to the Millennium!

Don’t be a moron; you won’t be able to run fast enough to catch the train that suddenly arrived and left without you. Be ready now.

† Shalom...Joel.

7, 70 & 777 Unfolding!

7, 70 & 777 Unfolding

Introduction:

I did say that this edition would be on the “error of imminence”, but due to the urgency of the current events, this must take precedent.

The number seven is called the perfect number. It is the seal of God as found in numerous places in the Bible. It’s like the watermark of God. As always, don’t go overboard with these things. Numbers, signs and symbols should always be secondary to pure doctrine, but don’t go into the ditch on the other side of the road and throw it all out. Signs are important at the right time.

7 is important on its own. 70 is an important prophetic number as is 777. Each have their own meanings and applications.

“Coincidental” numbers?

I’ve reported before on the following, as have a number of others, but it bears repeating:

●2017 is the 100^th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, which paved the way for Israeli statehood. (100 is the number of promise.)

●2017 is the 70^th anniversary of UN resolution 181 in 1947, again paving the way for Israel’s statehood in 1948. (70 is the number of the restoration of Israel, and is also seen many times in relation to punishment.)

●2017 is the 50^th anniversary of Jerusalem being re-captured by the Jews in 1967. (50 is the number of the Spirit of God and Pentecost.)

►Donald Trump is the 45^th US President. In Hebrew the gematria of the number is the word “Abi-albon” meaning “father of strength” (one of David’s heroes). 45 is also the biblical number of preservation. You can find more on this HERE and HERE.

►Some have pointed out the following in relation to Donald Trump: In his first day in office, he will be 70 years, 7 months and 7 days old.

2017 is the 70^th jubilee since the Exodus, the 120^th jubilee since Adam and the 40^th jubilee since the cross. Yes, I know about the controversy of the timing of the jubilee. Some believe the last jubilee was last year, and some believe its timing is out by a year and will be over in the 2017 – 2018 time period. It’s interesting, but don’t put too much weight on the jubilees.

Numbers, glorious numbers:

Before we go further, let me explain the significance of the numbers in the rest of this article.

Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic, the original languages of the Bible, are alpha-numeric. This simply means that each letter of the alphabet has a numeric value. So you can in fact add up the numeric value of a word.

In the Bible numbers have meanings as well, which are derived from the uses of those numbers in the verses concerned.

Then when we come to Hebrew, we also have additional elements. For example the number “7” can be expressed like that or as “seven”. Then, by adding up the numeric value of each letter in “seven,” we get another meaning, which would be the gematria or the numeric value of “seven.”

On top of this, Hebrew contains pictograms within the letters and numbers. In other words each Hebrew letter looks in picture form like an object.

The picture at the top of this edition shows the number “zayin” (7), which is also a pictogram. It shows a crown on top of a sword.

God has done this. He has hidden many of these wonderful mysteries just below the surface for the diligent to dig them out.

Some of these numbers and meanings in scripture are so incredible and marvellous; they are an all out miracle, proving the veracity of the Bible.

1 Corinthians 14:40 “God does things decently and in order.”

The numbers 7, 70, and 777:

●The Hebrew number “7” is “Zayin.” The pictograph of the Zayin is remarkable. It has a crown on top of the base which looks like a sword. There is a straight line from the sword through to the crown. This is referred to as the light from God (crown) to man. So, “Zayin” represents the light of God and the sword of God towards man.

You can find more on Zayin HERE.

●The number “70” has a clear reference to Jerusalem (Jeremiah 25:11) Daniel 9:24 “Seventy weeks (of years) are determined for your people and for your holy city...”

The meanings of 70 are “completeness” and “judgement”. It is related to the punishment and restoration of Israel.

70 is also the number of nations and languages that were the origin of all nations of the world today. So, 70 is a reference to the nations of the whole world.

●777 has a number of meanings. It is associated with the genealogy of Yeshua.

The word Yeshua Messiah has the numeric value of 777.

The gematria of the words “God, heaven and earth” in the first verse of the Bible, adds up to 777.

The Hebrew sages don’t use the “thousand” part of the Hebrew year 5777. They simply say it is the year 777. So, this is the Hebrew year 5777 or simply 777 which ends on Rosh Hashanah in September.

Hebrew sages believe that this Hebrew year 5777 is the year of the sword, as mentioned above, but some of them also believe that this is the year of the “olive leaf”, believing that it is the year of the Messiah and world peace. I think all you can really say is that we are on the edge of many things playing out!

The unfolding of prophecy:

►Remarkably, the great war of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38 & 39, which many refer to as WW111, has the numeric value in Hebrew of 70! You can find much more on this HERE.

Do you see that the 70-nation UN meeting just ended in Paris, discussing the dividing of Jerusalem and Israel, may lead to the war of Gog and Magog very soon?

We are now just a few days beyond the “Fast of Tevet” (10^th Tevet), which is a commemoration of Nebuchadnezzar’s siege of Jerusalem. This led up to the destruction of the Temple for the first time.

Bear in mind that Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon. Therefore he was in fact king over the Jews for 70 years of captivity!

Ezekiel 37:27-28 “My tabernacle (temple) shall be with them (Israel); indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people. The nations shall know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel when My sanctuary is in their midst forever.”

Very few people understand what this verse above is actually saying! It is quite clear!!

My friends, the nations of the world, with many churches are ready to perform their fateful act of dividing Israel and Jerusalem.

Imagine being so incredibly stupid as to divide Israel for what will be very short-term, supposed gain, only to pay for your ignorance for eternity, while God’s will and ways continue “forevermore!”

Bear in mind that the Second Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD.

The 70-nation UN sponsored conference in Paris:

A few days ago (Friday 15th), 70 nations came together to decide what to do about ownership of Jerusalem and the age old Palestinian / Israeli conflict. The meeting ended up with no real substance to it and nothing new. It was just a bunch of taking hot-heads, seeking to delegitimize Israel and enthrone the Palestinians.

The much bigger problem though is what this meeting leads to. Firstly, it’s yet another brick in the wall of dividing Jerusalem and Israel. Their agenda is not a Palestinian state living in peace side by side with the state of Israel, but instead of Israel!

This spineless UN conference has already backfired in that the nations there have identified themselves fully with Satan and against God. And by the way, that goes for all the churches supporting the Palestinian cause above God’s.

The Paris 70-nation conference has produced a resolution that may be taken further at a later time.

But don’t jump the gun here. I’ve read the entire resolution which has been drawn up and is to be adopted. It really amounts to zero in terms of prophecy and just affirms the same old story of blaming Israel for everything.

There are no actions to be taken in the resolution. It’s just the re-affirming of the Two-State Solution and “need for a negotiated agreement” and all the same old hogwash.

But, we will watch to see what else this all leads to. One thing that is most certainly of importance is the timing of it all. If it leads to actual actions to be taken, which it may do, then it’s a different story.

Noah’s father speaks from the grave!

In the book of Genesis we see that Lamech (Noah’s father) was 777 years old when he died, which was 5 years before the flood. (Genesis 5:28-31). This can also be written then as 7775. Right now we are in the Hebrew year 5777. So here we have the number 7775 associated with the flood of Noah, which was the wrath of God on evil, and the mercy of God on Noah and his family and then the new dispensation which resulted.

The Bible says that the coming of the Son of Man will be “as in the days of Noah.” (Matthew 24:37)

7775 signalled a new dispensation. Will 5777 see a new dispensation, as in the days of Noah?

The number 7775 in Strong’s concordance is attached to the word “Shavah” which means “A cry for help.” If the world would sincerely cry for help from God now ahead of coming judgement, it would receive it, but it is crying for God to punish it in its rebellion!

The Rabbi’s believe that this year is the year of the sword, with some believing it is also the year of the olive leaf. So if we put them together, it was in fact the “sword” of God in the judgement of waters at the flood that produced the olive leaf and the new dispensation.

One thing the Rabbi’s are wrong about is that world peace, symbolised in the olive leaf, is not going to bring the Messiah onto the stage until the end of the tribulation.

Moving to divide, moving to secure:

We’re seeing some interesting moves right now!

The Vatican has recently opened an Embassy in East Jerusalem, which is the subject of disputed Palestinian territory. The Vatican has most certainly cast their lot in with the Palestinians and confirmed their enmity to God and His plans.

They are preparing for their role to divide Jerusalem!

And this applies to the other orthodox churches as well like the Anglicans.

Interestingly, Francis calls Abbas an “angel of peace.” In his explanation, just like the mass-media, he said that Abbas would be the mover and maker of peace.

In a reciprocal move, last week the Palestinians opened an Embassy right inside the Vatican. At the inauguration, the PA leader told Francis that Jerusalem is the capital of the Palestinians.

Did you know that the meaning of the word “pope” is “father” and the Bible forbids us to call anyone father! Did you know that the meaning of the word “Abbas” (PA leader) is “father?” So, here we have to fathers of error, deception working together!

So. Let’s just look at this again. These two “fathers” open Embassy’s in each other’s back yards, the one calls the other the peace making angel and the other calls out that “Jerusalem is ours”!

The Catholic church has begun its transformation into the tribulation-bound beast. No I’m not saying Francis is the antichrist beast, although I do believe he will become part of the beast trinity or at least some significant part thereof.

In case you were wondering, I have the utmost disrespect and contempt for the Catholic and other orthodox churches.

President Trump has indicated that he is going to move the US Embassy now in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem – a mighty symbol of identification with Israel’s eternal ownership of Jerusalem. He will move the US Embassy in solidarity with and to secure Jerusalem as Israeli property.

Do you see how quickly Jerusalem is becoming the centre of the world?

Undivided Israel:

While the world tries to divide Israel and Jerusalem, God has brought Israel back to the land as one. Israel was divided between Judah and Israel, but in the regathering and return to the land, look what happens:

Ezekiel 37:16-17 “Son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and the children of Israel, his companions. Then take another stick and write on it, ‘for Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’ Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.’”

Ezekiel 37:21-22 “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone and will gather them from where they have gone to their own land; and I will make them one nation in the land...nor shall they be divided again.”

By the way, the verses above speak favourable of Israel’s “companions.” Who are they? It is the Gentiles, who are of God and His word. It is a reference to Christian Zionists.

Are you a companion of Israel and God’s will, word and ways? I hope you are, but if you are be prepared to stand as a hated minority. I know all about that first hand!

Your choice is God’s will and way, or the will, way and opinions of the scum organisation called the UN and its evil plans, and of course its spiritual leader – Satan.

What does it all mean?

●It means that God’s eternal peace treaty with Israel is under threat by Satan and his peace treaty.

●It means that Satan will soon create war so that he can make “peace” and deceive the world!

●It means we are about to see Jerusalem in conflict, the Temple rebuilt and the nations of the world becoming supernaturally charged with madness in relation to Israel like never before.

●It means the sword is about to fall.

●It means we are close to the veil of spiritual blindness lifting from the eyes of the Jews much faster.

●It means that the mass-media will become even more satanically empowered. It means that a great proportion of the church will fall for the multitude of deceptions out there.

●I expect to see things escalate quickly. Much prophecy still needs to be fulfilled, but it will happen fast now.

Summary

Any of these above-mentioned facts on their own, may not carry too much weight. But when combined and all put together in God’s giant blender – watch out.

You and I are called to be ready all the time. We are called to study to show ourselves approved unto God. We are called to keep clean from deception in all its forms. So it really doesn’t matter if all things are delayed. Be ready now and always.

Warning:

You can ignore this if you want. The wise will not. This is a warning from God:

I warn you that we are now entering a time in which the spiritual conflicts and great deception around Israel, Jerusalem and the Jews will become so strong, powerful and intense that you will be sucked into an ever deepening decent, if you do not set your heart after God’s truth on these issues.

You must know, receive and believe all of God’s word on these vital issues now. This is the only way to safety.

Be warned: “God is not mocked” the world is about to learn many lessons very quickly – the hard way!

Some will not escape. They will become empowered by forces that they can’t see and didn’t even know exist.

Finally:

Jeremiah 31:31-36 “Behold the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah...I will put My law in their minds, and write on their hearts; and I will be their God and they shall be My people...If those ordinances (the sun, moon, stars, roar of the seas) depart from Me says the Lord, then the seed of Israel will cease from being a nation before Me forever.”

This incredible verse above, speaks of God’s eternal will and plan for Israel. When last did your church minister preach and teach on this verse and others just like it?

If you want to mess with Jerusalem and God’s plans, you will get a lot more than your fingers burnt!
