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 429: August 7th 2018
E=MC² and more.
Introduction:
This edition is about the great breaking. It’s about the great atomic explosion and its meanings. It relates to the smallest atom, to the human being, to the rapture, to the destruction of the world and of the heavens and everything in between. It’s about what’s coming soon.
Humans are made out of atoms. - WRONG!
Humans are made partially out of atoms. But we are made primarily out of eternally existing, invisible spirit! You are wall to wall spirit with a few atoms and goodies thrown in. Don’t believe the lying media when they say that all you are is a piece of meat on some bones!
Very soon, God, the great atom smasher, will destroy our atoms with an atomic explosion releasing great power that will transform our bodies instantly into a very odd, strange mix of new, incorruptible physical form, which will have supernatural, spiritual qualities and dimensions that will put all science fiction to shame!
If anyone wants to award me a new “You’re mad” badge, thanks, I have many!
Modern man has discovered the great power residing in the tiny atom. But, true to form, his best is Hiroshima, deadly ICBM’s and nuclear submarines!
The power of E=MC²:
Within the heart of an atom (matter) is great energy. This energy is released when the atom is smashed at the speed of light, under certain conditions.
We see this in Einstein’s famous formula: E=MC² In which “E”= energy, “M”= matter and “C²= light squared (or the speed of.) Contained within every atom is a nucleus a proton and an electron. All held together by a powerful, invisible, electrical force.
But to get that power out of an atom it must be smashed and broken. Then the immense power is released and is available to be tapped.
Spiritual E=MC²:
If physical E=MC² is the release of energy contained in an atom by smashing it, then spiritual E=MC² must be the release of tremendous spiritual power in the believer’s life through the brokenness of the cross of Calvary, which produces resurrection power.
Now let’s look at some world meanings:
●Death: Strong’s G2288, “Thanetos”. Meaning: The separation of soul from body, through a force of power.
●Power: Strong’s G1411, “Dynamis.” Meanings: Miracle power, explosive power like dynamite.
Do you see it? In these two word meanings, above, we see the great breaking and the release of spiritual power.
If we could compare the entire universe to an atom, we see the same thing again: At the great eternal judgement, as our Lord re-creates the universe, when we go into the eternity of eternities, the entire universe will be broken, and a new universe with new worlds comes about.
Every trace of every spot where Satan had once been will be renovated and made new.
The grand purpose of E=MC² is the destruction of matter, producing energy.
The grand purpose of spiritual E=MC² is the destruction of sin, Satan and creation of newness of life.
Life is in the blood (and power!)
Now, let’s look into the heart of blood itself in the Bible. We will see an incredible message:
●Blood: Strong’s H1818, “Dam,” Meaning: “Essence of life.” It is made up of two root words:
1) Root word H119, “Adam,” Meaning: “Red, blood.”
2) Root word H1826 “Damam,” Meanings: “Cut-off, silent, cease, quieted.”
Here is something incredible indeed:
●“Dam-ah” (Strong’s H1819) Meanings: To be like, to be equal, or to resemble.
We can then presume from these word meanings that the blood of fallen, unredeemed Adam creates his “cut-off” status, while “Dam-ah” relates to saved man, being like God.
So, it is Adam or Dam-ah – Unsaved and saved!
When the Hebrew letter “Heh” is added to a name it means that God-breathed life is now in it. For example: Abram's name changed to Abraham after God’s covenant promises to him.
Adam was a different sort of being before he sinned. It was sin that cut him off and got him cursed. We see this, incredibly, in the meanings of the word “blood”, above.
Blood carries oxygen in it to every cell, but born-again blood carries oxygen, recreated spirit, and incorruptible, eternal life in it.
Leviticus 17:11 “The life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement for your soul.”
The miraculous blood of our Lord is seen in a wonderful and humbling verse. We are told that the blood of the Lamb washes our robes (lives) white. (Revelation 7:14)
It is the unredeemed blood of Adam that “washes” us red with sin! It is the redeemed blood of Adam (Dam-ah) that gives us salvation, through our Lord.
Here is the sad state of those born of the unredeemed blood of Adam, and remain unsaved. They are the living dead:
James 2:26 “As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.”
And again, the glorious contrast in the verse below:
1 Corinthians 15:22 “As in Adam all die, even so, in Messiah all shall be made alive.”
Adam’s blood can’t forgive sin. Our Lord’s blood was free from sin. It was like Adam’s blood before he fell. Like our Lord, Adam was not born of a woman, but of supernatural creation by God. This is why his blood was different before he fell.
In the new Garden of Eden there will be no fallen Adam, and no Satan and no curse.
In communion we drink the Lord’s "blood", - symbolic of its pure miraculous, saving, eternal life giving ability, unlike the blood of bulls and goats which is drank at ceremonies of pagans.
The most contagious disease ever known in the universe is sin. Only our Lord never caught the disease! Only He can cure it safely. He does it in a remarkable way: He kills you dead on His cross and then gives you new life.
You can do well as a child of Adam with his unredeemed blood in you, many do. But it will all be blown up by God one of these fine days!
Spiritual E=MC² releases the Spirit of God and gives us new, clean, pure, sin-free blood, if only by our position in Messiah now, ahead of the rapture, when it all becomes a glorious reality in every way.
Living with the fallen blood of Adam in you, leaves you under the dominion of the law of sin. It is a law, just like gravity – even its good is under the law of sin. You need a higher, new, explosive law to overthrow it, the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah.
This new law releases the Spirit of God in the human spirit of those born-again of God.
“I have been crucified with Him” says the Bible. I’ve got news for you! If you have been crucified with Him, you have also been raised with Him and you are now truly born-free!
John 3:3 “Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
I walked away from my own funeral:
After I died and was buried, back in the 70s, I suddenly arose and walked away from my own burial, with guests standing around looking on. Have you been to own funeral yet? – You need to. Of course I’m talking about water baptism and the powerful symbolism and testimony contained within it.
The word “baptismo” means to fully immerse like you would do with a coffin. It is not “sprinkling!”
After our Lord’s baptism the Holy Spirit descended and remained on Him. The Spirit of God alights on, and remains on holiness!
The entire earth had its baptism in water in the days of Noah. Death killed the sin of the world. The peace dove returned after the judgement. But sin returned and now judgement is coming again, this time by supernatural fire.
Be aware that Satan is the god of peace too. But his peace is full of sin and evil and unredeemed blood. Our God is the God of true, deep peace and righteous judgement, and war on all sin.
After the whole world goes into the brokenness of its soon coming judgement and destruction, out of that comes a new, pure, sanctified, world – the Millennium, which will be glorious.
We see the same principle of death producing life in many things. Fruit is fully contained in “embryo” form, within the seed. It goes into the ground, dies and then only do we see and taste the good fruit. The fruit bears no resemblance to the seed. It is totally different, yet related by birth.
And modern man thinks he’s okay in his own strength? Crazy, I say!
The rapture:
The rapture is the ultimate spiritual E=MC².
1 Corinthians 15:51-52 “Behold, I tell you mystery; we shall not all sleep (die) but we shall be changed – in a moment in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet, (for church age) for the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
This is amazing! Now let’s look at the incredible meaning of the word “moment” above:
●“Moment” Strong’s G823, - “Atomos.” Meaning: The smallest division of time possible, or an ‘atom’ of time. This word is derived from G5114 – “Tomos.” Meaning: Sharp, single instant stroke or blow.
It's the only occurrence of this word in the Bible, and there will only be one atomic rapture!
The end of the end-times will see the world go - atomic bang (E=MC²) But before it does, true Christians will go - atomic bang (E=MC²)! The former will be destructive and the latter constructive. The former will be from atomic bombs and warfare, the latter will be the rapture!
The dead in Messiah will be raised to glorious new life at rapture too.
Hosea 13:14 “I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. O death, I will be your plagues! O grave, I will be your destruction.”
“O death where is your sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:55)
Habakkuk 3:3-4 “His glory covered the heavens and the earth was full of His praise. His brightness was like the light; He had rays flashing from His hand, and there His power was hidden.”
Our Lord will soon descend to cloud level, hold out His miraculous, supernatural, cross-marred hands, now full of incredible power and say:
“Come up here!” (Revelation 4:1)
1 Corinthians 6:14 “God raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.”
The world and its media-mouth, uses intellect and reason to further its cause, as if that is a god. They think, like the Babylonians that they are building a life-tower to God! But it’s all rotten to the core – born of cursed dust, fallen blood, sweat and tears of useless grief – all destined for hell.
The bricks of Babel, made with mud, mixed with sin-sick blood, tried to reach God in the clouds. Actually, they tried to be a god! Contrast all of that with the real deal, true, miraculous rapture of believers cleansed by spiritual E=MC²!
Our truth is alive, full of light, and full of spiritual power, building for eternity.
All of creation (natural) is awaiting the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:19-21) Note that the expectation of creation is not anything the unsaved can do, or have done with all their environmentalism and “save the world” efforts.
All creation is awaiting us at the rapture and beyond, because that is when nature will be born free.
The great, mysterious power of the cross of Calvary, working in us, gives us power to die to self and the world, power to become the children of God, power to live, power to heal, power over the enemy, the power of wisdom, and much, more.
Our Lord will soon fly out of heaven to meet us in the air. We will then return with Him to Jerusalem seven years later, all riding on mysterious, flying, supernatural white horses. But before all of this, our Lord rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. The donkey comes before the miraculous white horse.
This is a type of the cross coming before supernatural resurrection. So, for now, we too ride our donkeys waiting for the atomic explosion that will rock will the world and leave donkeys in the dust.
We can still live our donkey-lives now in victory, if we apprehend and apply the biblical principles contained in us by promise and by our position in Messiah. If not, we will stagger through the world like an exhausted donkey about to die.
Living under the power of this evil age produces stress and anxiety. That’s because the primary source of sustenance is the cursed dust of the ground in Adam’s unredeemed blood.
Today, many have no hope. They are bound to a donkey. They have no sight of eternal glory. They are feeding of cursed ground resulting in stress, anxiety, disquiet and misery.
So many people around the world speak of a sense of foreboding, of impending doom but they don’t know why, or what to do about it.
I’ve put the following verses together from Psalm 102, including only the main points. This pre-figures the Holocaust, but also the personal psychological stress of people falling apart at the seams.
Psalm 102:3-11 “My days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned. My heart is stricken like withered grass. My bones cling to my skin. I lie awake like a bird alone. My enemies reproach me all day long. Those who deride me, swear an oath against me. I have eaten ashes for bread and mixed my drink with tears. Your indignation and wrath have cast me away. My days are like a shadow that lengthens, and I wither away like grass...”
The answer is death and new-birth - death to self, the world and the demonic, and then new thinking, new acting and newness of life. As things grow darker for the world the light will grow bright. Where sin abounds, grace does much more abound.” (Romans 5:20)
Many have a superficial idea that Christianity is designed to make them a better person. It is not. Any religion can do that, and they do! It’s designed to kill you, raising you up a new type of person!
Finally
The rapture of the church is an instant stroke of atomic destruction of our present material creation, leaving behind the flesh nature, the world-system and the demonic.
When you taste of the age to come, you quickly lose your taste for this world, and rightly so. Let me tell you that it is impossible to love the world and remain fully faithful to the Lord.
Here we have no continuing city. Man can continue to build as many Babel’s of betterment as he likes, but thank God for the soon coming New Jerusalem which continues forever.
You don’t compromise with the power of a cross! The compromiser has no cross. He is an enemy of the cross. (Philippians 3:18)
I took these pictures in the spectacular Makgadikgadi Desert. It is the largest salt pan in the world, surrounded by incredible wildlife and wilderness. This is Kubu Island.
