We were very privileged last week to have Brian Gemmell from York, and The Bible Prophecy Foundation, perform a mini tour of our area, teaching us from a Biblical level you will find difficult to discover in our so called Evangelical Churches throughout the UK.
Brian is a highly respected Bible teacher and preacher, and is one of the best Bible Prophecy Expositors in the whole of Britain. Not only were we very blessed to receive his superb ministry, but we were also a little fortunate to have Brian at all. He only stood in at short notice as a tremendous favour to us, to replace the cancelled Prophecy Weekend planned with Bob Mitchell, who is not well enough to travel and preach at present.
Brian had only just returned from a whole month in the USA on May 31st, yet despite jet lag and general tiredness, Brian spoke at a Prophetic Teaching weekend in Southport on June 2nd and 3rd, before coming down to Swindon on the 7th, Pontypool on the 8th and 9th, then leaving Saturday evening to travel up to Reddish in Stockport to take further meetings on the 10th!!!
At Swindon on the Thursday, Brian, Gilly and Kathleen were hosted by the splendid Tony and Diane McLellan as they seek to get an exciting meeting off the ground in this major Wiltshire town. He took as his subject EVENTS THAT MUST TAKE PLACE IN THE TRIBULATION (at Tony's request), and for over an hour and a half, the teacher from York had his larger than normal audience spellbound as he expounded on Daniel 9, Matthew 24, Leviticus 26, but primarily on Revelation 6, and the judgements to come upon this earth of ours on people who have missed out on the Rapture, and instead have chosen to follow the Antichrist of Satan.
Having crossed the Severn Bridge into South Wales, the Gemmell contingent made their way to Pontypool for the Friday evening session, via the usual splendid hospitality of dear Nancy Williams at her fabulous 17th century farmhouse in Bassaleg, near Newport.
This meeting was the first of five for a Pontypool Prophecy Teaching Weekend titled "THE BATTLES OF THE LAST DAYS". Part One on the Friday was called "IT'S WAR!", then on the Saturday Brian took four further sessions under the headings of "PROPHESIED LITERAL BATTLES"; "WORLD WAR THREE!"; "SPIRITUAL BATTLES"; and a final uplifting and emotional talk called "VICTORY". This was followed by his usual entertaining "Question and Answer Session" to round off a superb day of teaching and fellowship.
There is far too much to cover in a short review such as this, as the Glaswegian expounded delightfully in his dulcet Scottish tones through many prophetic passages from the Scriptures, covering topics such as The Last Days "Perilous Times" of 2 Timothy 3; The Prophesied Literal Battles of Psalm 83, Amos 1:3-5; Isaiah chapters 17 and 19, The Gog and Magog War of Ezekial 39 and 39, and The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse of Revelation 6.
He also warned of the rising dangers of Islam, Apostasy in the what we would call the Evangelical Church, the rise of New Age and Occultic teachings; the rise of the "Emerging New Church" with its false jesus; Satanism in its many guises (and not just demonic and occultic), Secular Humanism, Atheism, Declining Morality throught the world; Worshipping the gods of Mammon, Materialism, Sport, Filmstars, Worldy icons etc; The shocking low standards of modern "Christian" Television with its false teachers, money-orientated TV Evangelists, plus frivilous and vacuous programmes, and a host of other subjects too numerous to mention here.
However, our good friend Keith Cline from Bristol was on hand to record all five meetings to a high standard, and they will be available to purchase as a complete DVD set for just £12 in a week or so. You can contact him via email at keith.cline@talk21.com, if you would like to order a copy, or just contact me and I will be pleased to pass on your request.
Everyone commented on the warm fellowship and the dynamic teaching of the anointed Scot from York , and we prayed over Brian, Gilly, and Kathleen on the Saturday evening as they left for Stockport near Manchester to continue their superb service in their desire to please the Lord. We praise our great God and Saviour for the Gemmell family, and the blessings they bring whenever they travel in His Name.
Shalom In Yeshua,
Maranatha,
Neville.
