We were very pleased to receive, at very short notice, the dynamic JACOB PRASCH from Moriel Ministries for just one meeting at our ZION CHURCH in TALYWAIN, PONTYPOOL on his very busy schedule, last Sunday on May 13th.
Jacob, who is pictured in our photo gallery at the foot of this page, has suffered health wise recently and has had to cut down on his speaking engagements and overseas bookings. Despite this he took time out to perform a mini South Wales tour over the weekend, speaking at the Berean Fellowship in Mountain Ash on Saturday afternoon, then he spoke twice on the Saturday evening and the Sunday morning at The Church Of The Redeemer in Swansea, before travelling on to Pontypool to speak to our faithful saints in Talywain in the evening.
Jacob took as his subject the fabulous little book of RUTH from the Old Testament at ZION, and for over an hour and a half he had his audience of approx eighty saints gripped as he opened up this small portion of Scripture with an in depth exposition.
As well as expounding on the delightful story of the gentile Ruth being rescued and saved by her Kinsman Redeemer, the Jew Boaz, the Moriel teacher and broadcsater from New York gave us a marvellous "type and shadow" picture of how us gentiles (the Bride of Christ) are being saved by THE TRUE KINSMAN REDEEMER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, the greatest Jew of all time (foreshadowed in our illustration by Boaz, the human kinsman redeemer), before we are married to JESUS at the Wedding Feast of the Lamb of God.
There was also a marvellous time of questions and answers from the excited audience, and it is quite amazing how this great man of God can answer just about every question thrown at him with a sound and solid Biblical answer, which no one can argue with! He answered questions on the state of the Church in the West today, and how apostasy is rampant in most of the mainstream churches; on the state of current Israel, how two thirds of the nation will be destroyed in the Tribulation before MESSIAH YESHUA Returns to Jerusalem to redeem them; the state of Revelation Television and why he and many other good preachers and expositors have pulled out from teaching on this TV station, and many other fascinating questions and subjects.
He stayed on to join in the food and fellowship, as well as marketing many of the products and materials from Moriel Ministries. The Praise and Worship was led by the splendid Sheila Mather, the national prayer co-ordinator for Wales for the Ebenezer Operation Exodus organisation, and Sheila too had a stand where she was able to share her materials with many people.
All in all, it was a lovely and quite emotional occasion, and many people commented afterwards how much they enjoyed the ministry, the fellowship, and the warm feeling generated by the presence of the Holy Spirit. We give all the praise and glory to our great God and Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Shalom In Yeshua,
Neville.

REVIEW OF THE SECOND MEETING OF THE NEW SWINDON BRANCH OF THE PWMI.
The newly formed Swindon branch of the PWMI held their second meeting on May 12th, when the PWMI National Chairman, the Rev Glyn Taylor led the proceedings.
Even more people attended this gathering than the initial opening on the 25th February, and supporters travelled from Wales, Bristol, Cheltenham, Melksham and other surrounding areas to help Tony and Diane McLellan continue their new venture as they seek to do the Lord's will for them in Wiltshire.
Rev Taylor titled his address as"The Signs Of The Times", and proceeded to look at events that have happened in the world recently, and are still happening before our very eyes today before the Rapture takes place, followed by the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to Jerusalem, in Israel.
He sub-divided his message into five sections, and talked in depth about International Signs; Political Signs; Providential Signs; Social Signs; and Spiritual Signs. He looked at well known passages from Matthew 24; Second Thessalonians Chapter Two; plus two sections from First and Second Timothy, to back up his claims from these five sections of the Word of God.
Good food and fellowship followed the meeting, which was held at the St. Aldhelm's Centre, Edgeware Road, Swindon, SN1 1QS. The third Swindon meeting is to be held at this same venue on Thursday, June 7th when the excellent Brian Gemmell from The Bible Prophecy Foundation will minister, starting at 7.30pm. Please phone Tony or Diane on 07931 421157 for more details.

REVIEW OF PASTOR JON IKIN'S MINISTERIAL WEEKEND IN NEWPORT AND PONTYPOOL.
We were delighted to have Pastor Jon Ikin making his first appearances at our PWMI branches in Newport and Pontypool in May. Jon has ministered several times at our PWMI branches in Ebbw Vale, Caldicot, and Bristol, therefore it was a real privilege to have him with us over the weekend of May 4th and 5th.
Jon, who is pictured in our photo gallery below, has just moved on from Pastoring the Ebenezer Evangelical Church in Weymouth, Dorset and is now in the process of putting the finishing touches as he prepares his new work for the Lord. He is taking over the Pastorate of the Union Chapel Evangelical Church, Combe Down in Bath in the near future, and he thanks all readers of this blog for their prayers following our advertisement for him several months ago.
On Friday May 4th, forty five saints assembled at the Salvation Army Hall in Central Newport to hear Jon deliver a dynamic message on "ANTICHRIST: SATAN'S RELIGIOUS WARRIOR", based on the fascinating prophecy in Daniel 11: 36-45.
On Saturday May 5th, Jon became the third speaker at our new PWMI branch in Talywain, Pontypool, and he gave two excellent addresses on the end times programme.
The first session was titled "THINGS THAT MUST PRECEDE THE TRIBULATION", based on 2Thessalonians Chapter 2, and he gave us an insightful glimpse into what is happening in the world today, and things to look out for in the near future as prophesied in the Bible before the Tribulation takes place.
Jon's second session was named "GOD'S JUDGEMENT ON ANTI-SEMITISM", based on the small book of Obadiah from the Old Testament. The hatred of the Jewish nation, God's Chosen People, is on the rise again (see our video clip of this on this blog), and the young Pastor from Bath explained that things are going to get worse for this tiny nation, about the same size as Wales.
The Edomites were the main focus of his talk, but he stressed that all nations that come against Israel will be judged, and many destroyed (see Psalm 83, Isaiah 17, and Ezek 38 & 39) until Jesus returns to Jerusalem to redeem this nation when "All Israel Shall Be Saved". All three meetings were Powerful Powerpoint Presentations, which brought the sessions even more to life, there were some lively Q&A sessions, plenty of good food and fellowship, and we give thanks to the Lord for blessing Jon's ministry to us throughout the weekend.
Shalom In Yeshua,
Neville.

PLEASE READ THIS HEART-WRENCHING LETTER FROM A YOUNG PASTOR IN LONDON, AND THE REPLY BY ALAN FRANKLIN.
Please read this heart-wrenching letter from a young Pastor and his wife in London, via the excellent website of my good friends Alan and Pat Franklin. It can be found at http://www.thefreepressonline.co.uk/.
It is quite a shocking letter, for it not only depicts the path many people are taking in our country these days, but many of the people he refers to are Christians and born again belivers! Quite alarming!
***********************************
Alan writes:
This message came in from a young Christian friend:“Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus! ….“Since we spoke I have become a student pastor at an independent Baptist church in
“The borough I live in is extremely liberal and 'tolerant' and to openly admit to views like mine could land me in a lot of trouble. My wife understands me and shares all my views but we are feeling very isolated and lonely here. Even Christian friends whom we regarded as 'sound' believers seem to becoming more 'tolerant' towards things which they previously stood firm on.
“A good example of this is the Baptist church which I grew up in which is shortly to have a vote on allowing women to be pastors. My wife and I are in our early thirties but we realize that this is a direct contradiction of the Bible's clear teaching. We fear for the church that we love and are dismayed that so many people seem to be wavering in their opinions and are becoming more 'open minded' when it comes to issues such as homosexuality, other religions, Israel etc.
“I know that all these things are hallmarks of the end times and that we should lift up our heads and wait for our Lord's return. However, I cannot tell you how grieved I am to see people I love and respect gradually departing from the truth whilst all along thinking that they are genuinely honoring God in doing so. I hate the way that this country is going, yet what makes it harder is that so many 'Christians' do not understand what is going on. I honestly believe that we are being sucked into a totalitarian state (as you describe in your books) but one which is made all the more sinister in that it wears the smiley face of 'tolerance.'
“I hate to see the way that the way of life that I love is being destroyed and that our country is being meekly handed over to others who care nothing for its culture and Christian heritage. I find the way that London and other places is changing is oppressive and also the way that English people constantly have our identity mocked and derided by the elite.
“I imagine that you can identify with much of this. I know that I can be quite negative and depressive and that I should live in the joy of the Lord, not in fear of the future. All the same, I am struggling to cope at the moment.
“I hope that you don't mind me sharing all this with you. It has actually made me feel better already to be able to 'unload' in this way. I would just ask that you and Pat remember us in your prayers. We are coming to the end of our placement and are looking for a biblical church where we can serve the Lord as pastor and wife. At the moment life in London seems intolerable and it is exacerbated by the fact that whilst many Christians sail on by in blissful ignorance, we know something of what is going on in this country today and what some of the agendas are.
“May the Lord continue to bless you in your life and ministry,Regards…. Alan adds: If any church wants a fine young pastor I will pass his name and contact number on!
As for my friend’s worry about women preachers, he is right. If those pushing the feminist agenda in churches read the Bible the SHEologians might find a few scriptures not to their liking. They think women can do anything men can do, but the Bible says: “Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” 1 Timothy 2:11,12.
As Pat writes in our book Goodbye
The signs of the times are all around - money meltdown, (Spain, Greece etc) a great push for homosexuality to be accepted as just another lifestyle choice, the destruction of the family, the sewage-like surge of permissiveness and so on. Time is short. Men have no solutions but are just postponing the inevitable.
Paul wrote to Timothy about the moral collapse the End Times would bring: “But know this, that in the last days difficult times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; and avoid such men as these.” 2 Timothy 3: 1-5.
Just as before the Flood and before Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, life will carry on, with eating, drinking, marrying and money making until the rapture suddenly takes us out of the increasing chaos (Luke 17: 26- 37).
In Luke 21: 34;36 The Lord warns believers to be careful of our priorities immediately prior to the rapture: “Be on guard, that your hearts may not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day cone on you suddenly like a trap; For it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of the earth. But keep on the alert at all times, praying in order that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
The signs –as in the time of Noah - clearly indicate that we are on the threshold of what is going to be the most terrible time in human history — a time of unprecedented horror, the Great Tribulation. A one-world government will soon be established with total control over all commerce. During this time a dictator referred to in the Scriptures as 'the man of lawlessness’ , ‘The Man Of Sin’ etc will be responsible for killing around half the world's population during the first half of the Tribulation. And during the second half, he will murder two-thirds of the Jewish people. My estimate is that around three quarters of the world’s population will die in those seven years.
The Second Psalm speaks of the end times world of rebellion against God and this is what we are now seeing, plus Satanically-inspired worldwide anti-Semitism. But God laughs at their antics….verse 4:
The threat against
In his first letter the Apostle John wrote these words to the true believers: (I John 2:18) “ Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour.”
John wrote that over 1900 years ago yet it is significant how accurately they capture the spirit of these last days. If there is a peaceful interlude now it is an uneasy peace, just as
The Apostle Paul warned that we must take heed when people babble about peace and safety. Their peace is an illusion, as
Paul is speaking of the return of our Lord and was telling the church to be prepared – not to be lulled to sleep in the expectation of the rapture. The time of the antichrist is almost upon us and this is no time for us to rest. But there is good news in the midst of all this trouble, for the message of the Bible is that we who are believers are going to win in the end. The Tribulation will be cut short at the end of seven years with the triumphant return of Jesus. He will destroy the Antichrist and will replace him as the ruler of this world, bringing peace, righteousness and justice.
And that's not all the good news. The Bible teaches that believers are going to be taken out of this world before before the Tribulation begins. Christians will not have to face the Antichrist and his horrors.
The world is getting darker ands the antichrist spirit is abroad…in December the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution about combating intolerance, discrimination and violence on the grounds of religious belief. So far so good. But this was sponsored by the 57 nations of the Organization of Islamic Co-operation and is aimed at preventing slander of Islam- which means outlawing making statements any Muslim would dislike.
Later this year the EU is hosting a meeting to follow up on the Islamics’ bid to impose “blasphemy legislation” on all the EU to criminalize “defamation of Islam.” Yet Christianity is defamed every day on TV, radio and so on. Perhaps ten per cent of the EU population is now Islamic- and it is a young ten per cent. Yet the good news is- Islam will not rule the world!
The Lord and his faithful church will do that for 1000 years! The
These are people who give the impression they are on the side of Jesus but they do not act in accordance with His words, which is precisely how the antichrist spirit will be manifest. Antichrist will give the impression to many that he is Christ, by being a benefactor and bringing peace, before his true nature as a son of the devil emerges.
There are many people who call themselves “Christians” but some have believed another gospel, the wrong gospel, which is no gospel at all and which will not save anyone. Some worship another Jesus, not the real Jesus. Only those who have believed the simple, true gospel and been born again of the Holy Spirit are Christians.
All the others are impostors who have rejected the narrow way of salvation and gone some other way. If they have added anything at all (like sacraments or church membership) to the simple gospel, they are believing another gospel. Our salvation depends solely on our faith in Jesus, with nothing added and nothing subtracted. If they are worshiping a communion wafer, they are worshiping another Jesus, not the real Jesus.
The wheat and the tares grow together and look pretty much alike at first glance, but they are not alike. The wheat, representing those who have believed the true gospel, has useful “fruit.” (the spiritual fruits of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance – Galatians 5:22,23). The tares (weeds), representing false Christians, look a lot like wheat, but they have no fruit. They might have charm, but charm is deceptive, and that charming exterior will vanish when times of stress come. They might do some good works, but good works are like filthy rags in God’s sight unless they are filtered through faith in Jesus – the real Jesus. Only then will our good works count for anything in Heaven.
Around the world real Christians are under persecution. In
In John 6: 16-20 we read of the disciples in grave danger.“Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea. And after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea at
Sometimes storms blow up, but Jesus’ disciples on the
Matthew 9:1 calls it “His own city.”
Fear and uncertainty will grow as it becomes more and more obvious that the world is out of man’s control.
Jesus spoke of his coming again in great power and glory but he said something else had to happen first (Luke )… “Men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken”.
However, Romans says that in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
Time and again Christians in the End Times will turn to the Lord in prayer and be helped. Jesus is there at crisis points. The people of the world are often full of fear but have no comforter to turn to. The children of God can overcome fear in the name of Jesus.
However, Jesus did not promise us a small patch of heaven on earth, to quietly till until His return. This is actually an appealing prospect for me, as I look out on the garden. It is tempting to spend time there and while away the day.
However, we are given gifts to use. Jesus placed us- all of you- in this demon influenced world to spread the Gospel in word and deed to those who are not yet believers. Evil is increasing alarmingly in the world and ignorance and propaganda is promoted by our government, in the guise of learning. But we who are His are on our way to the Lord’s house, His home. On the broad path almost anything is tolerated. The only thing the world won’t tolerate is the Gospel Truth.The broad way, the world’s way, leads to destruction. It is based on lies. The narrow way is the Jesus way – He is the Truth. Absolute truth.
The Lord is preparing the believers for His soon coming. He is taking the true church out of the apostate church. Why? Because the spirit of
Paul wrote to Timothy, in his first letter- (1 Timothy 4:1-3) “But the Spirit explicitly says that in latter times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, By means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience with a branding iron, Men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.”
Here we see, among others, the Catholic church, a major part of the
The church at
There are churches today which have big numbers. Some are even good churches. Some are following business-like formulas for success, which means people in pews. But these established churches can be lonely places. And how good is the teaching? What do even the ministers really know about the Bible? True life and warmth can only be found with a personal relationship with Jesus. Trends like The Emerging Church bring the New Age and mysticism into what passes for Christianity today. We are warned to take heed that no man deceives us- deception is the hallmark of the End Times church.
Those who like labyrinths and mysticism should read Leviticus 10: 1-2: “Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective firepans, and after putting fire in them, placed incense on it and offered strange fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them. And fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord.”
This is how God judged two sons of the high priest! Yet there is strange fire in churches today. Fake blessings, fake revelations, fake prophecies, false manifestations of the spirit. We need to watch for it and beware. No church is safe from it.
The Lord made this offer to
Although we seem small and unimportant, we are not alone. The Creator of the universe is with us, in us and watching over us. If we trust in Him we will have an eternal reward. Remember that the grass withers, the flower fades but the word of God shall stand forever, according to Isaiah 40:8.
Writing to the Corinthian church, Paul had this to say: “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
Visible reality all around us is often bad or just disappointing. But this world is not our home. We are in it but not of it. In the pages of the Bible we read of “evidence of things not seen.”
In 2 Kings Elisha was in the city of
Our five senses will die with us- they are temporary. The invisible is what counts – this is what the Bible is all about. Spiritual realities are a very different story to what we see in the world and right now, in Heaven, Jesus is preparing for His return in triumph. He is also preparing a place for us.
Maranatha- Come, Lord Jesus.

JACOB PRASCH ON THE DEATH OF CHUCK COLSON, A DECEIVER WHO CLAIMED TO BE A CHRISTIAN!
Chuck Colson – death of a deceiver and a man to whom the Word of God meant nothing. Opinion, by Jacob Prasch (24/04/12).
In this article our friend Jacob exposes the myths surrounding Chuck Colson, a man with no regard for Scripture although publicly accepted as a crusading Christian. That description is thrown about too easily. If you love the Lord you love His Word. Colson acted against the Gospel of Jesus Christ at every opportunity, and will be judged accordingly.
************************************
Jacob writes, "In John's Gospel Jesus spoke of those who persecuted Jewish believers but who thought they were serving God while doing evil (John 16:2 -3). They so acted because they did not know Jesus or His Father. Chuck Colson, however, was a man who did evil, claimed to know Jesus and to be "Born Again", which was the title of his book about his claimed regeneration.
Colson was the lead author of the Evangelicals and Catholics Together agreement signed by Pat Robertson, Calvinistic author J. I. Packer, John Kent of The Church of The Nazarene and the late Bill Bright. The document accepted Catholicism as scripturally Christian without reference to the fact that while the true gospel teaches that the blood of Christ cleanses from all sin, in Roman Catholicism one atones for one’s own sin in purgatory and salvation is not by a second birth regeneration but by 'ex oper operato' sacramental rituals.
The idolatry of graven images and worshipping bread and wine as a transubstantiated reincarnation of Jesus Christ, killing him again in the mass and eating Him in an act of religious cannibalism meant nothing to Colson. The false Christ of the Eucharist, the necromancy of prayers to the dead, and the vampire-like consumption of blood - condemned by the apostles in The Book of Acts chapter 15 - were of no more consequence to Colson than was Rome's false gospel.
Colson just did not care. The Word of God meant nothing to Chuck Colson. His actions were in open defiance of it. If it did mean anything to him he would likely not have received the Templeton prize for religion. Neither would he have turned his prison ministry over to a Roman Catholic.
It was Colson whom Satan ordained to persuade Evangelicals to refrain from evangelizing Roman Catholics. As one with a Roman Catholic mother on her way to eternal hell, trusting in scapulars and the traditions of men instead of in the true gospel of Jesus for her salvation, I loathe the legacy of this deceiver who was mislead by the devil and inspired by Satan to mislead others. There have been few agents of hell more destructive to the cause of Christ than Chuck Colson. Roman Catholics need salvation and should be given the true gospel. I suggest those foolishly supportive of Colson ask former Catholics who have been saved.
Although a convicted criminal sent to prison for political corruption , Colson was an activist who tried to identify the Republican Party with Evangelical Christianity in his radio messages. Ronald Reagan's Hollywood divorce and remarriage, Nancy Reagan's advice to her husband acquired from the fortune tellers such as Jean Dixon she consulted, and George Bush placing a Koran which states that God has no Son, (a mark of antichrist according to 1 John) in the White House were irrelevant to Colson.
That President Eisenhower's Earl Warren-led Republican Supreme Court ordered God out of the classroom, that Nixon's Warren Berger Republican Supreme Court ordered God out of the maternity ward with Roe vs Wade, and that Reagan's pro-abortion Supreme court appointee Sandra Day O'Connor ordered God and the 10 Commandments out of the courtroom and judicial building cut no ice with Colson.
Neither did O’Connor writing the court’s decision, based on foreign precedent, to outlaw the Texas anti-sodomy law which opened the door for the national surge to same sex marriage: it all evaded Colson's criticism. To Colson, religion was about politics. He had been a liar for a corrupt Nixon White House and was transformed into a liar for a corrupt, pedophile-protecting Vatican.
Colson also endorsed the book Ecumenical Jihad by ex- Evangelical Peter Kreeft which urges ecumenical union with Islam to morally redeem society. Colson had an antichrist spirit and he served Satan powerfully. We shall all appear before the judgment seat of Christ and it is not for me to judge Chuck Colson. It is, however, for all of us to judge his doctrines and his ventures on the basis of God's Word. In doing so it is evident that the deeds and doctrines of Chuck Colson emanated straight from the pit of hell.
Without doubt there will be a chorus of ignorant religious cranks taking offense at these remarks concerning Chuck Colson, oblivious to the fact that everything I have written concerning Colson is irrefutably true. My only response to their silly religious rhetoric is to deal with the established facts - or don't deal at all.

In doing so it is evident that the deeds and doctrines of Chuck Colson emanated straight from the pit of hell.
Without doubt there will be a chorus of ignorant religious cranks taking offense at these remarks concerning Chuck Colson, oblivious to the fact that everything I have written concerning Colson is irrefutably true. My only response to their silly religious rhetoric is to deal with the established facts - or don't deal at all.

CHRISTIANS, BEWARE OF WHAT KEN LIVINGSTON WANTS TO DO IN LONDON!
FW: Coming Mayoral Election: Watchman Editorial
Here is the Editorial in the May 2012 edition of "The Watchman" (Produced 3 times a year in association with Intercessors for Britain : Editor: Ray Borlase).
I am sure they will not mind this reproduction because this is an important message that needs to be widely disseminated, as a matter of urgency.
Here's how the Editorial reads:
==================
Mayoral Election. Never was there a clearer example of why we should pray for those in authority (see 1 Timothy 2:1-4) than the up coming election for mayor of London. Ken Livingston has promised to turn London into a beacon for Islam if he is elected. He has pledged to "educate the masses of Londoners" in Islam saying, "That will help cement our city as a beacon that demonstrates the meaning of the words of the Prophet." (Quoted in the Daily Telegraph.)
He describes Mohammed's words as "an agenda for all humanity". In addressing the North London Central Mosque (where Abu Hamza once held sway) he said "I want to spend the next four years making sure that every non-Muslim in London knows and understands [its] words and message." He promised the congregation he would "make your life a bit easier financially." It is very clear that he is seeking the Muslim vote to be elected.
The Finsbury Park Mosque as it was more commonly known, especially during Hamza's time, is now run by the Muslim Association of Britain. The present spokesman for the mosque is Azzam Tamimi who has supported suicide bombers. The mosque also has links with Hamas and has supported its campaign. One of the mosque's current directors is Mohammed Sawalha. As well as masterminding Hamas's strategy he also signed the Istanbul Declaration calling for attacks on all allies of Israel , including the UK .
When Ken Livingston was previously mayor, he strongly supported the mega mosque which was proposed near the Olympic village in spite of the group (Tablighi Jama'at) having terrorist links. This Muslim sect is still trying to get permission to build a mosque for 9,500 people and is about to resubmit its plans.
This is something that every Christian should pray about because if Ken Livingston is elected, it will affect our nation as a whole.
PS. We are delighted to announce that "Red Ken" was defeated by the Tory Boris Johnson for the role of Mayor of London on May 3rd, so much of the above will be averted for the time being, Praise God.
However, Livingston won a lot of support during his campaign, and was only defeated by a slim margin, thus bucking all of the predictions of the many national polls!
Therefore, beware that this sort of "teaching" from "Red Ken" will not go away, and all belivers in the UK need to pray even more urgently for the state of our country, and the ever downhill sliding of Christian principles, and even just plain ordinary moraliity in these sad times in which we live, as prophesied in the Bible before the Lord Jesus returns (Neville).

BIBLE PROPHECY EXPERT JOEL ROSENBERG ON THE REBUILDING OF BABYLON!
IRAQ REBUILDING ITS MILITARY AND ECONOMY, EVEN AS THEY REBUILD BABYLON
Prophetic significance?
Joel C. Rosenberg(Washington, D.C., April 13, 2012) --
Watch the video below:
Bible prophecy indicates that in the End Times, the nation we know today as the Republic of Iraq -- known variously in Scripture as Babel, Bablyon, Babylonia, Mesopotamia and Shinar -- will emerge as the global center of wealth, power and terrible evil. Eventually Iraq will pose a direct and existential threat to the State of Israel, particularly during the Tribulation. Since the fall of Saddam Hussein and his regime in 2003, Iraq has not been a regional threat, much less a danger to Israel. Some have assumed, therefore, that Iraq would no longer play a major role in Middle Eastern or global affairs in the future.
But such a conclusion would be a mistake. As I wrote about in my first non-fiction book, Epicenter, those who read, understand and believe Bible prophecy have been watching for Iraq to:
1) begin rebuilding its offensive military capability;
2) begin rebuilding its economy;
3) continue rebuilding the ancient city of Babylon into a major center of commerce and tourism.
Interestingly, all three developments are currently underway.
A few details (much more on the blog):
* The Iraqis are buying 140 state-of-the-art American M1A1 combat tanks.
* The Iraqis are buying 36 advanced American F-16 fighter jets.
* In 2010, the Iraqis embarked on a $13 billion weapons spending spree.
* Iraq's GDP is set to grow by more than 10% for the next few years.
* Iraq's Planning Ministry says Iraq's economy will grow by upwards of 47% by 2017 when the oil starts flowing fast and furious.
* In 2011, ExxonMobil -- the world's largest oil company -- signed a major deal to help develop the oil industry in Iraq's northern region of Kurdistan.
* The U.S. government is helping finance the rebuilding of the city of Babylon.
