This ministry has a distinct kingdom vision, identifying with God’s call and plan for Israel and the church. My position is pre-trib! I was saved in 1976 while working as a war correspondent, journalist, photographer, artist and environmentalist. My calling is to share with you the great end-time dramas, to stand as a watchman and above all, to glorify my God, to bless Israel and her people and the kingdom of God. |
►We have now reached 47 million regular visitors.
►Next Edition, Lord willing: "Meanderings and musings of my mind."
Why the pre-trib rapture is the only view that adds up and works.
- US Democratic Party diplomat calls for Nations with a Christian influence to come against Israel, saying “Jesus Christ came to save the whole world from the Jews...Jews are not chosen!”
- Report: “Obama tried to give the Golan to Syria.” But then came Trump who “gave” the Golan to Israel! And the difference is = The Bible!
- US Dems take followers further and further away from all things related to a nation under God.
- Russia warns Israel: "No more attacks on Syria or we will strike back."
Shabbat (Sabbath) begins on Fridays at 6pm and ends on Saturdays at 6pm. The purpose of this report is to help the church and Israel become reconciled in Messiah.

Shabbat Shalom to all!
War drums and trumpets:
Firstly I would like to really thank all those who have recently donated to this ministry. I must say I was amazed at the incredible response from so many. Thank you very much for your blessing to the kingdom of God, above all.
There’s a risk in giving out names that some will feel left out if I don’t name them. So please know that you are all being thanked and will be rewarded. You have encouraged me greatly with your gratitude. You are special! We go on to ever increasing glory!
I give you my assurance that I will continue to give you my best, in spite of wanting to go and live under a tree in the desert sometimes.
Please keep The Prophetic Scroll in your prayer, in that it stays open and unrestricted in these dangerous days. Also keep it as your essential go-to place for what is really happening, and for your deep spiritual growth.
The rumbling war drums:
Drum beats have many classifications. We have blues beat, disco beat, the jazz swing, the motown groove and more. But we also have a particular drum beat of war and battle. The drums of war actually originate from the repeating drum beat of the shaman or witchdoctor.
A certain drum beat would mean either dance or get ready for war. The drum beat would stimulate and strengthen the body and forge a sense of unity by the beat. They would unite the human and the spirit world. The drums of war were also referred to as the drums of death, especially when combined with trumpets.
I said all of that just for this: Can you hear the drums of war rolling? Can you hear the crescendo of drums and trumpets of great conflict echoing through the atmosphere?
This is where we are now. The drums and trumpets are only for those with ears to hear. Others would be wise to listen to those with ears to hear.
The terrible war machine of the nations is warming up to take control of the sleeping nations, who are led by the aged and wrinkled of mind, the pacifists and the true enemies of real liberty and freedom.
Russia is beating the war-drums as she threatens Israel with attack for attacking Iranian targets in Syria. Syria is beating new war drums covered with the ash of long-standing war. Iran is beating the war drum against Israel again, again, again!
Biden and his party are asleep to it all, including the blonde half-baked fairy from hell whose grand burning desire is to change the gender of kids.
It’s not just the US. Europe is worse in many areas.
It seems that insanity has suddenly been let out of the cage and is infecting the world so fast. Here is one of the succinct verses about those who have forsaken the Lord:
Deuteronomy 28:28 “The Lord will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of mind.”
Why war?
In the old days we would fight over God’s creative beauty - a girl, and the girls would fight over us – Oh the good ole-days!
The bigger wars are fought over property, religion, political systems and the like. But there is really only one war that is of importance and that is the war to eliminate God’s beautiful creative purpose for Israel. It comes in many guises, but that is the underlying reason. It’s purely spiritual. It is the devil against God, at the end of the day.
So now we sit on the brink of war – the big one! Drums are rolling, trumpets are blowing and madmen from hell are arising, struck with blinding confusion and their weapons of annihilation tucked into their big-bird, metal wings.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall; Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, because an atom bomb blew him to smithereens. And all the king’s horses and all the king’s men took seven years to clean up the remnants of poor Humpty. What fun!
I can hear the drums of drama but I also hear the trumpet calling me to go and live under a tree in the desert! (Move over lions.)
The great war for God’s son – Israel, is prophesied. (Exodus 4:22-23) It’s all getting pretty hot in here. You need to know these things. You need to know why all things and people of God are targets.
People with no knowledge of the living God are fools, and easy to manipulate and turn into cannon fodder for every dumb gun in town.
You need to be anchored in the truth.
True living is living in truth.
If you try to befriend Satan and appease him, and walk in peace with him, you will automatically, by default, set yourself up as an enemy of God and you will pay the price!
Yes, Israel will miss it again and fall under punishment again, but the most stupid thing you can do is come against Israel in the bigger, overall picture.
Biden prepares to “kill” the Second Amendment right to bear arms in the US. Israel observes and compares this to Haman’s actions to try to destroy the Jews. Biden befriends the enemies of the west and of Israel in Yemen and Iran steps right in!
There was a time when God overlooked the ignorance of stupid, dumb politicians and people, but that day is gone (Acts 17:30, Acts 14:16)
Here’s a verse that should blow a lot more than your socks off:
Esther 9:1-2 “On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them...No one could withstand them because the fear of them fell upon all people.”
Take note, I say again take note, of the gravity of this verse above!!
The enemies of God and his son Israel, are united under Satan. The political parties, churches, inter-faith organisations and false religions of the world already have an unwritten unity between them – a hell bound unity!
The unity between true born-again believers is a unity based on truth and not lovey-dovey feelings.
As a believer, your culture must change! Your character and your personality must change as you grow in God. If not you will end up going with the flow of the wind.
Shalom...Joel
Edition 267. July 8th 2015
The fall of Obama:
The fall of Obama:
►The verses which I’ve selected for this edition are very powerful, appropriate and relevant. They apply perfectly to this subject, but also in a wider sense to governmental powers in these days.
1 Samuel 15:23 “Rebellion (to God) is as the sin of witchcraft...Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.”
The tragedy of the verse above is that it clearly shows God rejecting the rebels and why. That does not mean that the victim is suddenly overthrown, but it does mean that the individual is continuing in his own strength or even in satanic power.
Obama is in full rebellion to the revealed word of God on numerous fronts, he has already fallen, from God’s point of view, and been rejected.
He has on numerous occasions celebrated sin and perversion. In many ways he has led the US from a under God to a nation without God – a pagan nation. As Obama and his administration have gradually put out the light of God, so the darkness has flooded in.
Introduction:
I present this edition to you in humility and fear of my Lord. I have no personal ambition or desire to prove myself right or put anyone down. Tragically, this issue is of great importance now and has enormous prophetic ramifications. I present this simply as a warning to whoever would receive it.
Why is the USA, Obama in particular more important than other countries? After all, the whole world is in a big mess. The reason is simply because of the size of the US and its influence on the world and on Israel.
I do believe that we can separate the people of the US from the leadership to some degree. As I’ve said many times, I love the American people and have a special place for them in my heart. Unfortunately we can’t separate the people from the leadership too much. What the leaders do will affect the people in many ways.
There are so many prophetic things dovetailing together now, this makes the situation much more important than normal.
Establishing Biblical principles of government and political leadership:
Firstly we need to look at what the Bible says about governmental leadership, so we have a solid foundation.
There are dozens of verses about good government in the Bible, but here are just a few key verses.
Psalm 33:12 “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, and the people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance.”
Isaiah 60:12 “For the nation and kingdom which will not serve you shall perish, and those nations shall be utterly ruined.”
Psalm 75:6-7 “Exaltation comes neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south. But God is the judge: He puts one down and exalts another.”
The above verses are so plain and clear they need no explanation.
Accomplishments under the Obama administration:
These failures and disasters are from a Biblical perspective.
●Turning against God’s word on Israel and placating, appeasing and accommodating her enemies.
●Fully approving and supplying government funding (Obamacare) for all forms of abortion (murder).
●Redefining marriage.
Let’s break these down:
1) Homosexual marriage:
In a number of recent articles Obama has boasted of his accomplishments in the LGBT arena. He has taken the credit for these new changes.
Since the institution of marriage 6000 years ago, no judge, or political leader has redefined God’s decree of what marriage is.
Psalm 94:20-23 “Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, have fellowship with You (God)? They gather together against the life of the righteous and condemn innocent blood. But the Lord has been my defence, and my God the rock of my refuge. He has brought on them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; the Lord our God shall cut them off.”
Galatians 6:7 “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that will he reap.”
2 Chronicles 36:14-16 “All the leaders of the priests and the people transgressed more and more, according to the abominations of the nations, and defiled the house of the Lord, which He has consecrated in Jerusalem. The Lord sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because He has compassion on His people and on His dwelling place. But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, until there was no remedy.”
Isaiah 3:9 “The look on their countenance witnesses against them, and they declare their sin as in Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to their souls! They have brought evil upon themselves.”
1 Corinthians 10:11 “Now all these things happened (referring back to the sexual immorality of the time of Sodom), to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, on who the ends of the ages have come.”
2 Peter 2:6 “God turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example (Lit=perpetual example) to those afterward who would live ungodly.”
Note that in the verses above, both God is mocked and His messengers!
One way to identify possible repentance in a homosexual is to simply observe their attitude to God’s judgement on Sodom and Gomorrah for its homosexuality. Do they now agree with God? Homosexuals believe that God needs to apologise to them.
Note that God did not separate homosexual sin from the people involved. The fiery judgment came on the people. So why say that God loves the homosexual but hates the sin? I have never found anyone who can explain that!
Of course God loves sinners, we all know that. But why or how do you separate the sin from the people? If there is someone out there who can explain that – please do. Sin is not a separate entity.
►The LGBT agenda is the legacy of Obama.
2) State funding of abortion:
The day before the Supreme Court ruling on same sex marriage Obamacare was officially instituted under law. Under these laws, state funding (in all states) for abortion is now part of the system.
There is one central issue here: When does life begin?
Luke 1:41“When Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary the babe leapt in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Psalm 139:13 “You have formed my inward parts; You have covered (Lit=woven) me in my mother’s womb.”
The verses above (and there others) speak of life beginning before birth. That makes abortion murder. This means that under Obama, the US government not only sanctions but pays for murder.
3) Israel and the Middle East:
As of the 2nd July Obama’s administration rejected attempts by its Middle East allies to deliver heavy weapons to the Kurds and others fighting ISIS. The UK’s Cameron objected to this as did a host of other nations. A senior Arab leader said that they would now have to find other ways to deal with ISIS.
You can find more on this story HERE.
Israel has been protecting Jordan from Syria and now ISIS. Lebanon is Hezbollah controlled, with Israel on its border. Under Obama these alliances have changed adding pressure to Israel.
Moderate Muslim nations have been able to live with Israel as a neighbour. But Obama has gradually eroded this support in favour of Iran and other Islamic hardliners.
Causing Israel to stumble, fall or come into danger has always been a big issue from God’s point of view. No nation on this earth ever in history has prospered for very long after coming against Israel.
Israel is the cornerstone of stability in the Middle East, and Obama is hammering away at that cornerstone.
We are about to see big dramas in the Middle East. Lebanon, Hezbollah, Gaza, Hamas, The Golan, Syria, The West Bank, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iran are all about to explode onto the stage and Obama will take the wrong side!
The US is mocking God in a way like never seen before. Playing with fire is a certain way to get burnt.
The big summary:
In spite of Obama’s Muslim connections, and his befriending of Islam, the world of Islam wants nothing but to destroy the US, the “Great Satan”. Obama and his supporters have infuriated the living God, and mocked Him.
Obama’s great fall has already occurred in the spirit realm, it will soon become manifest!
A huge economic collapse is coming soon. It will affect the whole world, but will be centralised in the US. The US economy will be hit the hardest simply because of its size and influence on the world financial stage.
Talk about having the odds stacked against you!!
Note that transgression or sin is not static; it grows on the wings of more and more sin. These modern day abominations of the world have also infiltrated a sleepy church. The word of the Lord is rejected, mocked, despised and scoffed at. It all continues until there is no remedy and the wrath of God falls.
Psalm 14:1“The fool says in his heart there is no God.”
The charge of the occult:
Today the big cry of the homosexual is, “We were born this way”. No they weren’t! At some point in time they gave themselves to perverted lusts, and then invisible demon spirits came in and took possession of them, leading them deeper into a demonically charged world.
At the time of Sodom and Gomorrah, there were giants or demonic aliens of sorts involved in the homosexual activity.
Jude 1:7 “As Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, in a similar manner to these having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”
Most commentators agree that the “strange flesh” in the verse above refers to aliens, or fallen angels or demons manifesting as humans.
There are numerous other verses of scripture also indicating demonic activity in the world of sexual immorality.
Where evil really intensifies, the occult is always present. We will now see a big increase in demonic activity with supernatural beings coming into the picture as well.
2 Timothy 3:13 “Evil men will grow worse and imposters (Lit= enchanters) will grow worse and worse deceiving and being deceived.” We could say it this way: “Evil men and occult enchanters will grow worse and worse.”
Be aware of the extremely powerful type in the story of Lot being removed from Sodom before its destruction. This is obviously one of the great pre-tribulation rapture types. What is happening now in modern Sodom is a tragedy, and a spectacular victory about to occur. It all points to our soon-coming supernatural escape!
Luke 10:18 “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”
Do you think he fell like lightning and is staying down? Satan is intensifying his efforts now in a major way.
Revelation 12:12 “...For the devil has come down to you having great wrath, because he knows his time is short.”
What you must do: Immediately come out of Sodom, Babylon, and the world! Don’t wait. Don’t look back. Don’t justify the sins of the world. Repent in humility and brokenness before our soon-coming Messiah.
You are in great danger as a believer if you think you can withstand or fight off the onslaught of supernatural beings, devils and demons in your own strength. You need the fullness of the Spirit.
►I will shortly do something on the rising of the occult, UFO’s, aliens and other supernatural events.
The military:
I haven’t planned it this way, but for some reason many military men including Generals, Majors and other leaders from a few nations are now regular readers of this publication. They communicate with me regularly.
I have a brief message for you: I respect you especially in these days! You are going to be at war soon. You are greatly privileged to have our Lord and His word in your hearts and minds. In many ways, you are in fact His authority. You are His battle axe.
Be strong and courageous in the times ahead and remember that a time may come where you have to obey God rather than man! But you will know that in your hearts when and if the time arises.
Acts 5:29 “We must obey God rather than men.”
Hope?
So many people are predicting the soon-coming destruction of the US for multitudes of reasons. But let’s bring in a word of caution. If God destroyed an entire country because of its sin, there would be no nations on this earth.
God destroys or lets a nation be destroyed when the light goes out. It is the churches fault that the light goes out in the nation, because that is one of the primary jobs of the church.
The US has been the world’s greatest missionary nation, distributor of Bibles and its message. No other nation has spent more money and effort on the spread of the gospel. No other nation has been such a large safe-haven for the Jewish people in their diaspora.
God has a whole list of reasons why He has not brought the US under judgement. But how much longer can it continue?
Can one man bring down a whole nation? There are numerous examples throughout history of exactly that! Right now, Obama has been readied by forces he can’t even see for his great fall.
Obama, the personification of evil today, and a sleepy church in the US are a dangerous combination!
I wish it were just the man himself who will fall, but I fear, he will bring down a great part of the country.
There may be little hope left for the US, but there is always personal, individual hope. Every person on this planet is living under coming wrath or grace! There is nothing in between.
My great hope for the US is that the true church of the living God steps up to the plate and delays the coming judgement.
There is hope, but it’s being eroded fast!
The world and its church have bought evil upon themselves:
Keith Green: (From a long ago song) “How can you be so dead when you’ve been so well fed? You are asleep in the Light. Heaven weeps and hell rejoices.”
Proverbs 8:13 “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate.”
The world has bought the lies of their political leaders. They love evil. They hate righteousness. They have succumbed to the influence of some of the most desperately wicked men in the world.
Hosea 4:4-6 “Now let no man contend or reprove another, for your people are like those who contend with the priest (question God) Therefore you shall stumble in the day; the prophet (false) will also stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your mother (false religion). My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge (of God). Because you have rejected knowledge, I will reject you from being priest for Me. Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
The destruction of morality in the world has been a slow steady flow, creeping progressively deeper into the hearts of man. It has been indistinguishable, infinitesimal, inconspicuous. The master of gradualism, Satan has been very effective in his methods. Homosexuality and abortion are an excellent case in point. With the power of media craftily at work in Satan’s hands modern morality has changed completely. What was not okay is now the new normal.
A message from God to Obama:
Amos 2:13-14 “Behold I am weighted down by you, as a cart is weighed down that is full of sheaves . Therefore flight shall perish from the swift, the strong shall not strengthen his power, nor shall the mighty deliver himself.”
Hosea 10:13-14 “You have planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception and lies, because you have trusted in your own way, in the multitude of your mighty men. Therefore tumult shall arise among your people, and your fortresses shall be plundered.”
Deuteronomy 28:49 “The Lord will bring a nation against you from afar, from the ends of the earth, as swift as an eagle flies; a nation whose language you will not understand”
We all know that the homosexual movement is characterised by pride, but so is Obama. His actions and those of his administration can only be called supreme pride.
Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Job 41:34 “He (Satan) is king over all the children of pride.”
Beware certain ministries:
Beware of any minister, church, or so called watchman who have nothing to say publically about these big issues of the day. Redefining marriage, murder of the unborn and endangering Israel are big important issues from God’s point of view now.
►Beware the ones with no interest in end-times! They will have an abundance of interest in the now-times, led by me now. End-times are all about our Lord, Now-times are all about me, myself I.
The end-time pressures are going to grow so strong that the unprepared will not be able to escape their grip.
Is there an answer?
Seventeen is number symbolising “overcoming the enemy” or “complete victory.” The Ark came to rest on Mt Ararat on the 17th of the seventh month on a Feast of Tabernacles. (Genesis 8:4). The name ‘Ararat’ means, “The curse reversed”.
The meaning of word ‘Noah’ means, “Rest, peace, comforter”.
The resurrection of our Lord occurred on the 17th Nissan.
Daniel’s 7 beasts have seven heads and ten horns, for a total of 17. This represents the world’s power and rule from of Daniel to the Second Coming.
The Day of Atonement occurs on the seventh Hebrew month on the 10th day. This equals 17.
17 represent God’s ultimate victory over the devil.
There is much more to this, which I’ll share sometime soon. The good news is that we win! The great news is that our victory is eternal and it’s all coming soon!
Final thoughts:
Are you moving forward? Are you on the road from Egypt (a type of the world) to the Promised Land or from the Promised Land to Babylon (captivity)?
Psalm 1:1”Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord.”
It’s only as we obey God’s word that it really comes to life. But believing is not good enough!
James 2:19 “You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe and tremble.”
Truth must be applied, only then it works wonderfully.
Strangely, truth is hated, because it interferes and intervenes in people’s lives. It’s demanding and challenging. Biblical truth is clean and holy. Human good does not cleanse bad. Godly repentance does.
I took this picture hanging out of a chopper high above the Cathedral Peak in the Drakensberg Mountains. (You can see one of our helicopters on the mountain at right.)
Shalom and grow in grace!
