Edition 145

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.

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.

23^rd June 2017

Shabbat Shalom to all:

The deception debacle:

1 Timothy 4:1 “The Spirit expressly says that in the latter times, some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons...having their conscience seared.”

In the last week alone, I’ve had some incredible dealings with some of the most shocking deceptions ever – all in one week! Some of them are popular beliefs which are spreading.

●There is a growing group of insane Christians who believe that the earth is flat.

●There are a growing number within the Messianic community who believe that Yeshua / Jesus is the antichrist.

●There is a growing group of insane Christians, who believe the Nibiru deception. They have re-appeared after being in the background for a while.

Christian Flat earthers think it’s their basic rights to believe the earth is flat. Not in my presence they don’t! They must repent fast or get totally out of my life in all ways in an instant. The problem with them is, not only do they believe in a flat earth, but mock and come against us who believe that the earth is a sphere. I tell you – some people need to be smacked right off their feet!

The big problem with flat earthers is that they make a mockery of the gospel and Christians. You do not have a right as a believer to believe what you like.

Jesus is the antichrist. This is an infuriating deception going around. The story is: This group within the Messianic community believe that we must come under the law (Torah). In the Bible, these were the Judaisers and sought to kill our Lord because He did not obey their law their way. For them the law has become sacrosanct and equals salvation.

No one who mixes law and works with faith and grace is of God. It always produces legalism (which is as witchcraft) and deception.

Yeshua offers salvation without keeping a string of legalistically imposed laws. So, in their eyes, He has replaced the law and is therefore the antichrist! What cursed blasphemy and deception. To further explain their cursed heresy, they believe that Yeshua was a good man but not God in the flesh!

If you want more on this subject, see the link on the right hand side headed “Salvation” and the section, “Under the law or not” in the “Teachings” button at the top.

The Nibiru deception, a brief explanation (again): They believe that this mysterious, nowhere to be found planet will suddenly appear and strike the earth. Amazingly, they know this without knowing where the planet is, what its speed or trajectory is. So if they know that it will hit the earth, they must have outside sources of information, apart from science, and astronomy and mathematics.

And they do! If you look it up you’ll see the source is pure witchcraft – Satan himself. The story is that this planet visited the earth long ago, offloaded a group of beings, who became the human race, and is now about to re-appear and hit the earth.

Many occultists are involved in all of this. I think the most insane thing I saw, was from a pure Jezebel with a YouTube ministry who predicted that Nibiru would hit the earth this last Christmas day, but that it would be okay because the rapture would happen just before on that day.

Interestingly, she has not repented, nor apologised and still puts out bucket loads of cow dung! She is a modern false prophet – to be avoided at all costs.

Yes, the Bible speaks of meteors and asteroids hitting the earth, but well into the tribulation period and they are not called Nibiru!

Many people can’t see their own deception, because they don’t want to. They believe their lie.

Here are a few shocking verses:

1 Corinthians 11:19 “There must (will be) factions among you, that those who are approved (genuine) may be recognised (identified) among you.”

2 Timothy 3:13-14 (Amp) “Evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and leading astray others, being deceived and led astray themselves. But as for you continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them...”

And another shocker:

Matthew 18:7 “Woe to the world because of offences! Offences must come, but woe to the one by whom the offences come!”

The word “offences” here is Strong’s G4625, “Skandelon”, meaning: Trap in sin, snare or stumbling block.

truth-error-words

Curses at work:

A person prone to deception is generally under a curse. That doesn’t mean every bit of error or minor, temporary deception is a result of a curse. I’m referring to people who constantly fall into deception. They are attracted to it like a magnet.

False doctrine and deception go hand in hand, feeding off cursed sources.

There is always a domino effect with false doctrines. They knock-on and affect other doctrines.

People under a curse generally can’t or won’t take correction. They attack you when you try to correct them. They attack the hand the feeds them help.

Galatians 4:16 “Have I now become your enemy because I bring you the truth,”

Defending deception makes you one with it. You must flee from it – absolutely. Otherwise it will get worse and more deeply entrenched, because that’s the way a curse works.

Here are some of the evidences of a curse at work in a believer’s life:

●They are prone to deception and false doctrine and the inability to see it. ●They are unstable and lack of endurance. ●They have recurring mental or physical sickness. ●They have a regular breakdown in relationships. ●They consistently fail in employment, finances and provisions. ●They suffer from depression, stress and torment. ●They participate in the occult. ●They are involved with idolatry and have idols in their home ●They are involved with various forms of witchcraft, divination, and fortune-telling...And much more!

A person under a curse will often think he is a perpetual victim and that everyone is always against him trying to obstruct him, when in reality it’s the individual himself who is to blame.

Proverbs 28:1 “The wicked flee when no one pursues.”

Here is a very powerful, simple, but enormous truth: If you want to find our Lord, and be safe from deception, believe first! You must believe then you will see. If you come looking for truth within a huge pile of other “truths” and errors – you will never find the truth. You will forever be half-baked. Set your heart and mind to believe the truth as you come looking for it.

For example: 2+2=4. If you set your heart to believe that the answer is truth even before you find it, you will find it. If you believe that 2+2 may =4 or 5 or 7. You will always be a doubter.

Hebrews 11:6 “Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

The original words of the verse below are wonderfully insightful! “Inclining the ear” means to bow down to the source of the sound, so you hear it clearly! There is action involved. It’s like cupping your hand on your ear, so you can hear clearly.

If you bow your ear and your head and your heart to our Lord’s voice, exclusively – you will hear!

Proverbs 22:17-18 “Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge; for it is a pleasant thing if you keep them fixed upon your lips, so that your trust may be upon the Lord...”

Shalom † Joel.

News events and commentary:

My comment begins with ***

●Abbas says 2013 will be the year the march to Palestinian statehood intensifies.

●Abbas makes it official: “All of Israel is Palestine”!! (Palestinian Media Watch 1 January 2013) ***This is perhaps the most important news item of the year and here it is on day one! The logos of most Palestinian organisations have declared this for a long time showing the map of all Israel as theirs. Now they themselves are dropping the smokescreen of deception. This makes war with Israel inevitable and kills all peace deals or talks.

Abbas is the leader of Fatah also called the Palestinian Authority (PA) He has been seen as a moderate in the past, but now the gloves come off. The logo below is that of Fatah. The green shape at the top (arrowed) is all of Israel. This logo alone proves that they want all of Israel, but now he has said so in words!

●Shame on you Britain! This picture (below) is from a British school text-book. I wonder where Israel’s gone. This is what they teach their kids:

israelmapuktextbook

●TheSchool of Prophets opens in Tel Aviv. The purpose is to train the next generation of prophets for the first time since the destruction of the Second Temple. According to Jewish tradition, prophecy ended after the Second Temple only to be restored in the era of the coming of Messiah.

●If or when Assad falls that will be just the beginning of Syria’s destruction. That will pave the way to internal ethnic hatred and faction wars for control.

●The new US Secretary of State John Kerry is no friend of the Jewish state.

►My friends we are heading down the road to prophetic fulfilment at an increasing rate. This year is going to be monumental in this regard. I will be sharing with you some incredible things in some of the next few editions. You need to have your spiritual eyes open now and your God-provided armour fastened tight!

►I’m not really into New Year’s resolutions. I prefer daily “resolutions”, but there is something to be said for identifying a point in time to start something. If I may say so, my heart’s desire for this year is to be more holy and pure, so that I may be more effective for you in this ministry to the glory of God.

The media and you:

Introduction:

Please also see edition 23 “The power of the media” (click the link)

With the advent of digital everything, the media sees everything in the world. There is very little that is out of their sight today. As such they have an incredibly important role in bringing and swinging opinions one way or the other.

According to scripture the world has a god and his name is Satan. The media is his mouthpiece. (Christian media excluded)

The big issue is that you will not change the media. To do that you will have to change its god! So the question then is how do you deal with the media?

I warn you against the world’s mass-media:

Do not underestimate this serious warning.

The Media (print, TV, radio, movies and others) are the shapers of the end-time world.

The most powerful and subtle unwritten “law” behind the media is: What you see on TV is the way to be! No it’s not!!! That is so only if you are a dumb blind idiot!

One of the very powerful measures or indicators of your growth in Messiah is what you will and won’t do and what and who you identify with. Are your opinions the re-hashed garbage of the modern media? Do you do what they want, say what they say, and believe what they tell you to believe?

Do you believe and want what the world’s celebrities say, do and want? If so, you’re on the road to hell.

Crowd-think, crowd-speak and opinion will make you acceptable and one of the crowd but will doom you to hell.

As a believer, focus on the world and its ways dulls your spiritual sight...be sure about that!

2 Timothy 3:1-5 “Know this that in the last days, perilous times will come, for people will be lovers of themselves...having a form of godliness, but denying its power and from such people turn away.”

Matthew 6:22-23 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is really darkness, how great is that darkness.”

Psalm 36:9 “In Your light we see light.”

Psalm 119:130 “The entrance of Your words gives light.”

Psalm 119:104 “Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.”

Philippians 4:8 “Brethren; whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of a good report, if there is any virtue and anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things.”

The above verses show the importance of having God’s word as your primary motivation and source of information.

Proof supreme of moving forward correctly with our Lord means that you will see things His way. You will see that there is a price is to pay. In fact you will desire to pay the price even though it will ultimately cost you all that you are!

If you are going the right way you will desire holiness and live in it. No one shall see the Lord in unholiness. If you are going the right way you will have a love for God’s word and ways. You will be an enemy of the world system, the flesh nature and the demonic. And the world will hate you.

John 15:18 “If the world hates you, know that it hated Me first.”

1John 3:13 “Do not marvel that the world hates you.”

The masses are on the wrong road; they all compare themselves among themselves and think that they’re okay. No they’re not. They are the worldly average. What a tragedy to be average.

Essentially there is only one effective way to gain victory over the power of the world and its mouthpiece, the media; and that is to know the power of God’s word. I’m not talking about plain knowledge of the word; I’m talking about revelation knowledge.

This is best described in the original words ‘gnosis’ and ‘epi-gnosis’. The former is the word for ordinary head knowledge, while the latter means knowledge that is above knowledge, or Godly enlightened revelation knowledge.

bibleold

The importance of prophecy:

27% of the Bible is prophecy! How can you ignore or remove such a huge part of the Bible and expect to be safe with God?

Prophecy reveals: The collapse of world morality. It warns of the eternal consequences of being a yes-man to the world. It reveals the answer and the way out and the escape route from the clutches of Satan and his world.

There is no single thing on this earth that does more to warn the world of its soon coming journey to hell than Bible prophecy. If you remove or downplay prophecy, you are removing the warnings. This produces the comfort of hell.

Do you know why so many churches are stone dead and in extreme danger? They avoid the most important aspect of the Bible which is prophecy. Prophecy is the “eyes” of the church.

My background as an international journalist, photographer, war correspondent, artist and a few other things thrown in, has given me an insatiable desire for knowledge, truth and wisdom. I’ve always wanted to know what’s behind the story. Many times, like an idiot, I would literally put my life on the line to get the picture or story. Many times I landed in hospital or jail. Numerous awards came my way. Life was fantastic, but had no focus, discipline or restraint. Only after being born-again in 1976, did the whole jig-saw puzzle begin to fall into place. Years of wonderful exercises of self denial, fasting and studying God’s word gave me eyes to see my old boss. Satan himself was my boss and the world was my playground.

Now my entire life’s focus is to know my Lord more and make Him known.

A major part of this relates to identifying the great powerful god of camouflage. This god is characterised by false peace, love, light and security. He is characterised by lots of fun in the sun. Only when you see the “kosmokratos” (world power) can you be free from his power, control and devices.

The power of the cross:

To deal effectively with the devil we must know his schemes and we can’t do this from his territory. We must “come out and be separate.” It is only the cross of Christ that effectively brings us out of the world.

To be truly free from the dictates of the devil is the most liberating thing one can ever experience. As we apply the cross of Messiah into our lives, it produces death to self, the world and the demonic. This leaves us in glorious holiness and purity...making us gloriously odd!

The preaching and teaching of the cross has all but been removed from the modern church...to its eternal detriment. So successful has Satan been that almost no one knows the difference.

Cross-less Christianity is a heresy of the god of the world. It’s a growing deception, which will soon cause many believers to be killed.

It keeps the world and its word, the media, apart and separate from God’s world, word and kingdom.

The picture below is most important. This is one of the significant works of the cross...keeping the holy from the unholy. The cross keeps God's kingdom separate from the kingdom of the world. If you remove this cross of offence, you are NOT left with God’s kingdom and the kingdom of the world. GOD’S KINGDOM DISSPEARS FROM YOUR SIGHT AND REACH! You are left with Satan’s world alone. And yes - this is to be truly alone in the universe!

christcrossjew2a

By the way, the cross sanctifies our being in the world as long as we “die” to it to the best of our ability. No cross...and everything you are and do is not sanctified and you are one with Satan.

This is the work of the cross of Christ and the work achieved by us taking up our own cross of denial of evil and sin and worldliness in our lives.

The cross generates God’s power in us to make us holy, separate and pure. It keeps us humble, giving us God’s wisdom (epi-gnosis). It kills the satanic in us.

Remove the cross and the kingdom of the world with its mouthpiece the media rules supreme. All religions become valid; everything including morality becomes variable and equally valid. Human reasoning get’s exalted in the name of relevance. You will have no absolutes as guidelines and will necessarily opperate entirely in he world of human works. You will have to operate entirely in the world of human works. You will have to believe in salvation based on good works. You will be alive to Satan’s word through the mass media. You will be dead to truth. You will entertain hosts of demons without knowing it.

Curse of democracy:

Damnable democracy is the god of the masses and the greatest success story of Satan. It just sounds so right. In 1950 if you put 10 people in a room and got them to vote on homosexual rights you might have got 2 in favour and 8 against. Today that would be the opposite. The difference is not that mankind has advanced, but actually gone backwards because God has been removed from the equation.

When you remove God from any situation the god substitute slowly manifests behind it. What the media says carries enormous persuasive weight. What they say gradually becomes the norm. Democracy itself is the new god. Very soon God will destroy it all. There will be no democracy in heaven. And remember that 'democracy' is not a Biblical word, but a word of convenience invented by the world.

I’m in no way suggesting a theocracy or dictatorship. Democracy would be fine and is fine when under God and His values carry the bigger weight. The US for example was once called a “nation under God.”

Remove God, change Godly values, (which is the only reason why God would be removed), and then vote...what a joke. The funny thing is that those who vote in this new valueless world think they’re doing there Godly duty!

There is a way to fix cursed democracy and that’s not to partake in it, but to get the curse (Satan) out by putting God back in. Once God is back in, you then have Someone in it where the buck stops!

On a personal level, I decided in 1980 neverto vote again for the very reasons mentioned above. Of course some would see that as blasphemy.

The end game:

The end game of the media is to bring you down to hell and neutralise you on the way. Of course they would never admit that because the media can’t see the power behind it! You can have and must have victory over the power of the media.

The media is not neutral. There is no such thing. You are either with and for our Lord or against Him. There is no middle ground- and no sitting on the fence.

For example, the media has made homosexuality acceptable almost worldwide, even to the extent of divising their own Queen James bible. What blasphemy! The media bias has directly contradicted God in many moral issues as well as others equally important. Perhaps the worst is the fact that the media has turned much of the world against Israel in favour of the Palestinians, ignoring God’s word.

The media is silent on slogans like this that are appearing more frequently today. In fact a Christian was beheaded in Syria yesterday according to a hospital nurse.

behead

There is nothing wrong with pure reporting of news items and things like that. The danger comes in when the media expresses opinions.

Many people have a secret love (and sometime not secret at all) for sin and evil. The media feeds into this and transfers it very well.

The world’s media hates holiness, simply because the very definition of holiness is to be separate from the world and its sin.

Finally:

Many can stare prophecy in the face and be unmoved. Many can and do deny it, to their detriment. But do you know what’s amazing? Believe prophecy or not...it’s all happening just the way the Bible declares it anyway!

It really is very stupid to stand on a railway line in the face of a speeding locomotive! Many people are really just that stupid!

At the end of the day, there is nothing more important than your spiritual life and development. To know God deeply is a powerful, wonderful but frightening and fearful thing. If you are encountering the true God in a true manner, power, wonder and fear will be your indicators. These will confirm if you’re on the right path or not.

A reverent fear of God in these days is a place of safety.

I once heard Derek Prince say: “Do you know what it means to fear God? It means to FEAR Him!”

Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision (lit=Prophetic revelation) the people cast off restraint.”

We are now going into fast moving prophetic times. Many people will be rocked and shaken to their roots. I sense that many of you will be there to help steady them in the Lord. Please understand that you are not here in this world for fun, fun and more fun. You are here with a holy, God-given call to influence and affect the eternal lives of many.

As you see and recognise this, our great God will give you the anointing needed to do His work. By the way, anointing has nothing to do with performance, volume or professionalism. In fact those things are called manipulation, not anointing. True annointing is the unmistakeable work of God, sometimes in the supernatural and sometimes, like flowing oil streamlining the way ahead. True annointing does not need a church service to opperate in!

A flower for the New Year: I took this picture of the orchid on a table outside one night. I put the orchid on a mirror, sprayed it with mist and set the camera shutter open for 2 minutes. I then “painted” the flower with the light of a little hand held halogen torch. I lit it from the front and back and dragged the light past the back of the flower, then manually closed the shutter.

Have a glorious, holy and pure 2013!

Job 39:8 “The range of the mountains is His pasture and He searches after every green thing.”

Shalom and grow in grace!
