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 389: October 31st 2017.
Deadly Disguised Deities:
Introduction:
Dangerous days lie ahead! Truth will be increasingly cast down. In its place will arises a new depth of dangerous deception, disguised as truth, but it will be a charade, and a counterfeit! It will be perpetrated mostly within the church, by some.
“Occultation” is an astronomical term describing a situation when one object is obscured by another that passes between it and the observer, like an eclipse for example. But the “occultation” refers not to the whole event, but to the blind-spot area of the observer. The term also has deep spiritual implications, as you can imagine! This is called “blind-spot bias in psychological terms.”
Many reading this will be shocked to see how severely they have fallen under the spell of “occultation” by the devil. It’s just beginning!
You need to test all things, judge all things, and receive the love of the truth. You must study to show yourself approved to God. Search the scriptures daily to see if these things be so. Take heed to yourselves. Do not believe every spirit and resist the devil.
Paul says in Acts 20:31 “I didn’t cease to warn everyone with tears.”
Today, things have changed. Many of whom you could trust before, are now to be avoided and it seems to be getting worse.
The deadly mixture:
The most dangerous thing is truth anointed by Satan. Mixture of truth and error poisons the truth.
One of his methods is “divide and conquer.” He brings in error to divide up your truth.
Truth is pure and clean, and can’t be mixed with untruth or error, except in wrong hands.
You can’t mix 2+2=4 with 2+2=5! The subtle, first step of the devil to gain access to the believer comes through acceptance of a little bit of error.
That then blinds you to the truth and the devil gets a lot more than a foot in the door, and walks right in! You have invited him in, unknowingly.
►In ancient mythology, the pinecone was seen as a source of spiritual illumination or the third eye of enlightenment. It is also called, “the eye of Ra” (God). The pinecone is the symbol of the creation of a enlightenment by mixing good and evil or truth and error. Pinecones are also pagan symbols of eternal life, common in occult practise. The pinecone is used in much Catholic culture.
This is the sky god of Nibiru, “Anu” (above) holding out a pinecone ahead of him.
Ancient gods and signs in the sky:
There are literally thousands of ancient pagan gods and so-called deities that were, and in some cases, still are worshipped in satanic traditions, originating from Egypt, Babylon and Rome.
We must have a brief look at some of them, because they are making a re-appearance now, in disguise, even in the church.
We need to look briefly at the gods: Nibiru and the Anunnaki, Anu, Enlin, Enki, Ishtar, Marduk.
●Nibiru: This is a so-called planet owned by a god. The god of Nibiru, according to Babylonian tradition was the god of “crossing over” or transition. That’s what the name, “Nibiru” means. He was known as the “Great Sign” and the “Heavenly sign”. He was the god who ordered and arranged the constellations. The “Nibiru point” was the point at which constellations produced a sign.
The god of the planet Nibiru is also known as Marduk. Nibiru is sometimes called “Marduk’s star.”
The Anunnaki, a half human, god-like hybrid people disembarked from the planet Nibiru when it visited the earth 450,000 years ago. They brought with them gold from outer space. Some believe it was the Anunnaki who built the Pyramids in Egypt.
In Egypt the Anunnaki were known as the “Neteru,” literally meaning the “The guardian watchmen!” They were the watchmen of the signs in the sky. Their symbol is an all-seeing eye, as well as a winged dove representing peace as you come into union with this god. Here it is:
The name “Babylon” in Hebrew means “Gateway of the gods.” Or the “Crossing transition point of the gods.” This is also the meaning of Babel. (The meaning of Babel and Babylon is generally referred to as “mixture”, but in its extended form, in Hebrew, it means “crossing point.”)
Nibiru means crossing over, the same as the meaning of the word Babylon, which also means “mixture”. A mixture of truth and error always nullifies truth.
●Marduk: He was the god-son of the Anunnaki. He was the god of Nibiru. He was also known as the “King of the Earth”, because he stayed behind on earth when some of the Anunnaki were taken off the earth by Nibiru later on. He stayed to create a “Global Elite.”
●Anu: “An” = sky. He is the Sumerian god of the sky, worshipped by the Anunnaki people.
The image above is of Anu, the sky god on his throne holding a ring and a rod. The “rod of authority” was commonly seen in representations of Anu. At the top is the Nibiru god riding the constellations from which the circular “celestial illuminator” hangs. Inset: Is another representation of Anu, the winged god with an “all seeing eye” on his head. The full image reveals 12 planets around his head.
The image above is another of the sky god Anu, seen here riding his flying disk, which odd people believe was his personal UFO!
Anu was known as the Great Sky Father, the “Lord of the Constellations.” He was also called the “King of Gods, Spirits, and Demons and the Supreme Ruler of Heaven.”
Anu’s mythological daughter was Ishtar. (Easter)
●Ishtar (Easter):
Ishtar was the goddess of sex. Her symbols were rabbits (symbolic of fertility) and eggs, also symbols of life and fertility. She is seen with another of her symbols, the rod of authority. She was worshipped by sex acts in front of her image. She was the god whom the Catholics replaced Passover with, calling it Easter.
The image above shows Ishtar, the queen of the night, naked, ready for sex, with a ring of eternity and rod of authority in her hand.
This is a poem supposedly written by Ishtar, entitled “Descent into the underworld”:
“If you do not open the gate for me to come in, I will smash the door and shatter the bolt. I shall smash the doorposts and overturn the doors. I shall raise up the dead and they shall eat the living. And the dead shall outnumber the living.”
●Enki: is one of the gods of the Anunnaki known as “the god of the waters.” This god was believed to be the one who created massive floods. Together with the god of the wind, Enlin, they would produce chaos through hurricanes and floods.
● Ishum: He was a minor god of the Anunnaki . He is the “god of fire” and is believed to have once used forerunners to a nuclear bomb. His name means, “scorched earth.”
Nibiru, the world’s great scapegoat!
As you should know, Nibiru (Planet X) has been prophesied by many ignorant, stupid people to hit the earth and annihilate it many times before. It has been directly linked to the rapture by many and became an integral part of the Revelation 12 sign – and still is.
Nibiru has failed to appear every time. Of course that’s because it doesn’t exist – but don’t tell them that, unless you want to start a fight with Satan.
If Nibiru, were to miraculously appear and strike the earth, (remember it is supposedly four times the size of earth) it would be the biggest blame-shift and scapegoat in world history.
People would blame all the catastrophes, shakings, storms, upheavals and destruction on Nibiru, not Satan. Remember that much of the great shaking in the tribulation period will be God’s direct doing as well, due to mankind’s sin.
If the great shaking and destruction soon to come, is all Nibiru’s fault, it’s not because of the evil, sin and the wickedness of mankind reaching a crescendo! So mankind, in his sin, gets off the hook!
The lunatic fringe say Nibiru is about to strike the earth! But no one can find it. Except me that is! I have found it! There’s a very good reason why others can’t find it. It doesn’t exist.
But when we apply the equation Nibiru = Satan, we have found him, and yes he is about to strike the earth in the form of the antichrist!
If you say “Nibiru is coming,” you are really saying Satan is coming. Yes, we know he is coming in the form of antichrist, but that’s not Nibiru! Miss-naming something or someone has huge implications. If you call Satan Nibiru, you have shifted blame and responsibility and you have been deceived.
The Sunday Express of Britain published a lead story on September 14th. The headline said: “Mysterious UK crop-circle is a sign Nibiru is coming on September 23rd 2017.” Hmm, apparently the god Nibiru doesn’t read The Sunday Express. Or maybe he just forgot to hit the earth on that great deception-date!
Signs in the sky send billions to hell:
The Roman Emperor Constantine, the founder of the Catholic church, saw a sign in the sky in a remarkable vision. He saw a cross with the words: “In this sign conquer the world.” This became one of the motivating forces behind the Catholic church, which when formed, led the world into spiritual darkness for a thousand years. Here is the sign of Constantine at bottom right, superimposed over the sign of the Sumerian sky god. Note how similar they are.
The gods of Babylon named Ishtar (Easter) and Nimrod, the lord of Christmas, struck the earth in the form of the Catholic church and blinded the world to truth. The dark-ages resulted. Now we have related demon-gods about to “conquer” the world again.
Mohammad also saw a sign in the sky, which led him to form the Muslim religion.
As Christians, the Bible tells us that there will be signs in the sky. But it says what the signs are, whom they are for, and what they mean, when and why they will appear! Funny thing is, you just have to read the surrounding verses and you will see exactly that!
Be careful following signs when a mass of false signs will strike the earth - according to prophecy.
The failed Revelation 12 sign announces the coming antichrist:
Demons live forever, so do fallen angels. All the ancient gods never actually existed, but the evil spirits and demons behind these so-called deities, and their names, do exist and are making a comeback right now.
They are coming back right now, disguised, cloaked and veiled.
The Revelation 12 sign was a failure, with one error built upon the next, but it was also an announcement. It was the point marking the start of great deception soon to come. It was the announcement of coming “occultation.”
It was the great widening divide, striking the unrepentant teachers.
There will shortly be a resurgence of attention given to Nibiru and these gods – mark those words!
Please remember our equation:
Nibiru = Satan (and all the gods mentioned above). Therefore Satan is coming to strike the earth in his new form as the antichrist! With him, and in fact, ahead of the antichrist, will come a flood of false gods, false beliefs and great disguised deceptions.
Much of what is coming will mutate into a new form of replacement theology and anti-Semitism.
The devil will gain access to many in the church through related Jezebel spirits in the church and so-called teachers, who promote a mixture of truth and error, knowingly or not.
To be right with God involves two major things affecting two areas. You must be right in heart and right in doctrinal truth. It’s no good saying, that your heart is right. You must have both at work in you.
Truth, inwardly shed abroad in your heart, and the love of the truth, makes you stable and right with God. It also prepares you to stand securely in the coming onslaught, in which truth will be increasingly perverted and cast down.
Isaiah 59:14 “...Righteousness stands afar off, for truth is cast down in the street...so truth fails.”
Nibiru, the world’s excuse for the rapture:
The Nibiru myth is that this giant planet, driven by its god, offloaded the godlike Anunnaki people on the earth 450,000 years ago. The legends claim that the Anunnaki evolved into the human race, but there were some who remained half god / half human and they could not stay on the earth. At some point they were “fetched” by Nibiru and removed from the earth, while the Anunnaki’s who had evolved into humans remained on the earth.
One legend proclaims that the Anunnaki left the earth from a “spaceport” on Mt. Sinai.
The story is obviously all a far-fetched lie of the devil, but why do some Christians who appear to have at least some basic form of education, believe in Nibiru today?
Occultation, and the curses produced by all these false gods, and Nibiru, will deliver you on a platter to the devil!
►If Nibiru, according to the legend, removed the half god / half humans from the earth before, do you see what I see? What a brilliant excuse for the real rapture when it occurs!
The world and the left-behind, so-called Christians, will yell, - “It was Nibiru that took them!”
How did these gods get into the Christian community?
How did other occult, pagan, Babylonian practises like Christmas and Easter get in? Well, they got in through the front door! The early church left its first love! That’s a dangerous thing to do!
“Wormwood”! They say! You see, Joel, Nibiru is in the Bible! Hogwash, you fool – I say! The verses relating to wormwood in the Revelation are the result of numerous meteorite strikes. (Try reading it.) None of the meteors or asteroids is a planet four times the size of the earth, racing through space to hit the earth. If you have any brains at all you would realise that any object anywhere near that size travelling at astronomic speeds would totally annihilate the earth, shattering it into billions of pieces.
The Bible indicates nothing of the sort!
The new breed of dangerous watchmen:
There are too many blind watchmen out there with eyes blinded by pride, and self-ambition and self-assertion, instead of eyes filled with pure truth! Some are just plainly ignorant of God’s word and fully disqualified for any form of ministry.
Watchmen of the Lord must be “arrested” by the truth. They are to see everything through the great measure of all things; the word of God, inspired, revealed and led by the Spirit of God.
Watchmen without the revelatory gifts of the Spirit are no watchmen at all – they are blind even though they think they are the kingpins. They are doomed to see things wrongly – it has to be so. The revelatory gifts come exclusively through the baptism in the Spirit.
Have you ever noticed that watchmen without the spirit always get things relating to the future wrong, while getting things relating to the past right?
Do you as a minister of the gospel have and demonstrate the voice and authority of God in your material, or are you a man-pleaser, seeking the “approval of man?” Are you influenced by the voice of the masses, or the voice of YouTube, with its numerous shallow messages of rank deception?
One of the numerous emails I received recently about my total rejection of the Revelation 12 sign said this: “I didn’t feel right all the way about the Revelation 12 sign. Something rang a bell, but everyone was into it, so I decided to go with their flow. After all, they couldn’t all be wrong!”
What an absolute classic!
My friends, the day you realise that not everyone is always right, (including me) is the day you are moving forward.
There are literally billions who are totally wrong – unsaved! There are billions out there who worship gods that are actually Satan in disguise – billions!
The spirit of error has a dangerous component. It mutates and spreads and contaminates.
The Christian world is primed now for great deception:
The failed Revelation 12 sign has primed the Christian world for the next level of deception – great delusion! Deception is rarely a one-off event, it finds an entrance and feeds and grows. If you kick it out, it comes back to see if it can get back in.
Unrepentant hearts and incorrect doctrine are a deadly, dangerous mixture.
Where all the Revelation 12 sign teachers have discredited themselves, is not so much in the giant errors they have presented as truth, but in their attempted discrediting and undermining of “Berean” truth seekers and those who would not get onto their crashing band-wagon.
In all of this, I’m not suggesting by any means that fellow teachers or watchmen of the Lord are into these pagan gods at all. But what we are dealing with are highly dangerous, invisible, but real spirits. Both truth and error are firstly spirits before anything else! (1 John 4:6) Evil spirits get in through false doctrine, or miss-used scripture.
►Today there is a huge surge in occult activity in the nations. The numbers are staggering. It is filtering through into sections of the church.
If you really want to know if any new doctrine or new interpretation of sections of the Bible is true, obviously, the Spirit of God will reveal it to you in your heart, if you have that connection through the gifts. As a double check, simply ask yourself this. What does it do to other existing, established doctrines of truth, and what does it do to Gods total, entire plan for Israel?
All the pagan, occult gods are Satan. Satan hates Israel. All the gods mentioned here and more have odd aspects that are anti-Israel, overtly or covertly.
Don’t say you haven’t been warned.
In the first paragraph of the previous edition, I said: “We are at the dawn of glory and the dawn of hell on earth.”
I say again, this is all a warning relating to things to come – soon!
These ancient gods don’t die and they are now on the doorstep again.
Finally
We are at a turning point in history. I may be ahead of things by a few months, but forewarned is forearmed! It’s easy to ignore tomorrow, because we don’t see it yet. But the wise will see and raise their armour now.
One thing you must do at this juncture in time is be selective in who you receive from. If your source is polluted, you will be affected. You must be enslaved to all truth and not truth mixed with other “truths” and error.
Don’t go on a witch hunt for demons behind every door. Don’t centre on these things. Know them and keep them as a spiritual shield, but pursue the truth.
Find and keep “few fathers” in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 4:15) Don’t have many spiritual fathers. Be selective and be discerning.
This is a composite of a few of my pictures. The background is Baines Baobabs, Botswana, mixed with sunset trees. I then superimposed the lion over some African mud-cloth, added feathers and put them all together as one.
Shalom and grow in His Grace!
