SIMON BRAKER PROPHETIC VOICE LEICESTER: AUGUST 2019 "PROPHECY"

Below: A dream from NAR "prophet" Simon Braker, Associate Minister at Holy Trinity Church, Leicester (CofE).

Simon Braker
1st August 2019

"In a dream, I was watching people play a game of jenga, as I watched I noticed the bottom three bricks had words on them, Germany, France and the UK,
A player came and began to try to take the UK brick out, the other players shouted don’t move that one it will make our tower fall over, we want to make it taller not make it collapse,
But the player persisted and the others began to fight with him to try to stop him taking out the brick, when he finally did manage to remove the brick, the tower began to wobble and sway,
The bricks began to turn to sand I could see these bricks also had names, Greece And Spain were the first to fall and then the whole tower turned to sand,
Then a massive storm began to blow and the people playing the game began to panic as the sand began to get swept away in the midst of the storm,
Then in the wind in heard the words, And so it shall be for those who choose to build their houses upon the sand, they will not stand in the great storm that is about to hit the earth"
{1}


Braker is referring to Brexit, the supposed dissolution of Europe, and a "great storm" that is allegedly about to hit the earth. I would caution believers that it is necessity to test any prophecy given by an individual against the scriptures. (1 John 4:1). People would do much better to give their attention to biblical prophecy, rather than to the dreams and visions of dubious NAR "prophet" Simon Braker and his ilk. There are a number of false teachings associated with the NAR. One major problem is false eschatology i.e. their emphasis on postmillennial dominion theology (Christian reconstructionism), which denies the millennial reign of Jesus Christ. Dominionism stands in direct contradiction to Revelation 20:4: And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. A false prophet is a person who falsely claims the gift of prophecy or divine inspiration. The penalty for a false prophet in the Old Testament was death: But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has taught rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of slavery, to make you leave the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. Deuteronomy 13:5. This was the case even if the prophecy came to pass; the true test is identified as sound teaching! (Matthew 24:24; 2 Thessalonians 2:9). We don't put false prophets to death these days. However the New Testament takes the subject no less seriously - the fate of false teachers/prophets will be swift destruction (2 Peter 2:1-3; Matthew 7:15; Acts 20:30; 1 Corinthians 13:5; 2 Corinthians 11:13; Titus 1:6;2; 1 John 4:1-3), Romans 16:17; Titus 3:10. 2 John 1:10).

As a response to Braker's prophecy, I have given a brief outline of the scriptural account of final world events based on bible prophecy and possible corroborating world politics as I understand them. I write from a futurist premillennial perspective.

Given the lateness of the hour, I do not think that the dissolution of the EU is likely. I base my views primarily on the "ten kings" prophecy in the books of Daniel and Revelation, and secondarily on the globalist plan for a New World Order.

The Book of Daniel was written in the sixth century BC and is a major apocalyptic book of the Old Testament. The prophecies came in the form of dreams, initially Nebuchadnezzar's dreams (Daniel 2:1), followed by various dreams given to Daniel's himself. Unlike many modern day "prophets", the book of Daniel has scriptural authenticity: "The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure." (Daniel 2:45). History precisely corroborates the earlier prophesies of the book of Daniel; as such we can fully expect its future prophesies to be precisely fulfilled.

Daniel interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar's dream of a great statue as God's prediction of the rise and fall of four world powers (Daniel 2:31-43). Most bible scholars agree with the traditional view that we are living in the fourth beast kingdom at the present time i.e. Rome (initially the Roman Empire - morphing into Roman Catholicism at the end of the fourth century).





After this, as I watched in my vision in the night, suddenly a fourth beast appeared, and it was terrifying—dreadful and extremely strong—with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed; then it trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns. While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance. (Daniel 7:7-8).

The ten horns correspond to the ten toes of the image of Daniel 2 (Revelation 12:3; 13:1; 17:3; Daniel 2:41-42; Daniel 7:23). The ten toes represent a confederacy of ten kingdoms, some strong and some fragile, emerging from Rome.

And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. (Daniel 2:42 KJV). "..they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men" is an unusual phrase that has led to various theories elaborating on the theme that "the seed of men" indicates that "they" cannot be human. (Genesis 6:2).

Finally God will establish an everlasting kingdom that will utterly destroy all the previous kingdoms.


As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. (Daniel 2:34-35 cf. 44-45).

Satan is described in Revelation 12:3 as a huge red dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and seven royal crowns on his heads. This description identifies Satan with the final beast kingdom more closely than any of the previous kingdoms. A difference occurs in the text however; Satan has seven crowns upon his heads, whereas the beast out of the sea, the final beast kingdom has ten crowns on its horns:

And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. (Revelation 12:3).
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. (Revelation 13:1).


Revelation 17:1 describes a prostitute sitting on the scarlet beast with seven heads and ten horns. The prostitute (the false church) therefore sits upon Satan himself. 


The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.” And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. (Revelation 17:4-6). 

Not without good reason, the woman/prostitute described above is identified as the Roman Catholic Church in many commentaries. There is no other church, religion or institution that has such a "bloody" history as of the Papal Church of Rome. {2} The Latin phrase "Sancta Mater Ecclesia" (Holy Mother Church), is sometimes employed to describe the Roman Catholic Church. The ecumenical agenda of many apostate denominations, including the NAR, is the vehicle through which Rome's "daughters", whom they refer to as "separated brethren", are being sucked into the vortex of spiritual prostitution and ultimate destruction. (Revelation 18:4).

This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. (Revelation 17:9-10). The phrase: Here is a call for wisdom (Revelation 13:8), seems related to the number of the beast, 666.

Seven heads can be accounted for as follows: John wrote Revelation in approximately 95 AD. At that particular time, five world empires had fallen, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece. The one in existence in John's time was Rome, "one is", and the other not yet come will be the Antichrist kingdom. {3}

..the ten horns are ten kings who will rise from this kingdom. After them another king, different from the earlier ones, will rise and subdue three kings. (Daniel 7:24).


And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast.(Revelation 17:12-13).The ten kings of Revelation 17 have not yet risen to power, but they will each attain a kingdom in the future, for one hour.. i.e. a short space of time (Revelation 17:10). The ten kings will form a confederacy and rule together with the beast until they hand over their power and authority to him.

Many scholars refer to the European Union as the key to end time prophecy. I think that this is correct since "revived Rome" dominates end time prophec
y. The historical position of the church is that the Antichrist will arise out of a revived Roman Empire. However, since the ten kings rule over the earth (Revelation 17:1-2), there appears to be a wider application than the EU. We see that the woman (revived Rome) rules over the ten kings: And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.” (Revelation 17:18). The woman will have temporary control over the ten kings, but in reality they hate her and they will ultimately turn on her and destroy her. (Revelation 17:1,16-17).

Daniel 7:7-8 refers to "a little horn" with human like traits:

It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things. (Daniel 7:7-8,11, 20; Revelation 13:5). The eighth king is the person/entity that needs our attention: As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction. (Revelation 17:11).


The scriptures refer to the Antichrist as the first of two beasts. The fist beast arises from the sea, representing peoples and multitudes and nations and languages. (Revelation 17:15). The beast rising out of the earth is identified as "the false prophet" (Revelation 19:20), suggesting a "religious" aspect, as against the political aspect of the first beast. (Revelation 13:1, 11). The beast from the abyss (Revelation 11:7) is essentially identical to the beast from the sea (Revelation 13:7). This gives rise to the question: Is the Antichrist actually fully human? Just as Jesus Christ is 100% man and 100% God, so the Antichrist may be 100% man and 100% demonic. The Antichrist will emerge as the man of lawlessness (the son of perdition). (Daniel 11:36, 37; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). The dragon (Satan) will give him his authority. (Revelation 13:4 cf. Luke 4:6).

The Club of Rome was created in 1968 and consists of current and former heads of state, UN bureaucrats, high-level politicians and government officials, diplomats, scientists, economists, and business leaders from around the globe. In 1973 the Club of Rome published a report entitled “Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System”, stating its intention to divide the world into ten economic/political regions. Significantly, the United Nations and the Club of Rome have identified ten regions as ten “kingdoms”.



The Ten Kingdoms of the New World Government:

Kingdom 1: Canada and the United States of America

Kingdom 2: European Union - Western Europe.

Kingdom 3: Japan

Kingdom 4: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Israel and Pacific Islands

Kingdom 5: Eastern Europe

Kingdom 6: Latin America - Mexico, Central and South America

Kingdom 7: North Africa and the Middle East (Muslims)

Kingdom 8: Central Africa

Kingdom 9: South and Southeast Asia

Kingdom 10: Central Asia







For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. (1 Corinthians 13:9-12).

THE ABUSIVE JESUS ARMY CULT: MORE ANTICS COME TO LIGHT!

SPECIAL REPORT: Jesus Army workers facing large pensions gap because church did not pay their National Insurance

By Paul Lynch
Northampton Chronicle and Echo
8th August 2019

Ian and Jeannie Johnson are calling for National Insurance contributions
 to be paid back to former Jesus Army members.


Dozens of former Jesus Army (JA) residents who toiled day and night to look after one of the organisation’s many communal houses are facing having to take reduced pensions – as their elders chose not to pay their National Insurance.


In May, the Christian sect formed in Bugbrooke announced plans to disband following a wave of abuse allegations – exclusively revealed to be more than 100-strong by this newspaper back in 2017.
                       Preacher Noel Stanton set up the religious sect throughout the 1970s.

A group of ex-members known as the Jesus Fellowship Survivors Association are leading an effort to see those abused sexually, physically, financially and spiritually compensated by the church.
But among those making claims against the church are people who looked after the communal Jesus Army houses around the country – many of which were in Northampton.
The church made part of its revenue through a number of business ventures – such as a large potato farm in Nether Heyford and a building services contractor. Several ex-members who worked on the farm as children have described the work as ‘slave labour’ as they did not actually receive a wage, it was ploughed into the common purse.
The so-called employees had their National Insurance contributions paid by the church elders.
New Creation Farm in Nether Heyford, where many of the Jesus Army members lived in a secluded community.
But the Chronicle & Echo has now learned that dozens of members who maintained the church’s many communal houses did not have those contributions paid for a number of years – as they were not originally classed as having a job.
Often their daily life involved long, strenuous hours catering for up to 30 housemates at a time. In the 1980s it was agreed that they should, in fact, be classed as workers.
But for many there had already been a significant gap in their National Insurance contributions.
Ian Johnson founded the JA’s Goodness Foods bakery in Daventry only to leave during the 1980s out of principle. His wife Jeannie was among those affected.

                             The entire Jesus Army estate is said to be worth close to 60 million.

“For people, we know this has had a dramatic effect,” he said.
“One person I know is 70 and has had to get an extra job because of the shortage in their pension. My wife should have been paid another five years’ worth of contributions. That would have been at about £1,000 a year. That’s a lot of money.
“I know of at least four people this is affecting and there could be dozens more.”

Mr Johnson, 70, who now runs a successful lettings business on Crete, has urged the Jesus Army to fill in the National Insurance payment gaps for the communal house workers.
“People that lived in the communes were basically being looked after as if they lived in a hotel.”
These workers should have been classed as employees.”
Mr Johnson is calling on the Jesus Army to make up the pension shortfall as part of the ongoing redress scheme but he says the organisation is yet to give him firm answers on whether this will be the case.
There are currently more than 100 claims being made against the religious sect – papers seen by the Chronicle and Echo show its asset value to be about £58 million.
The Jesus Army still owns 55 properties, according to the leaked papers. Many of the properties are communal houses – though there are currently only 200 people believed to still be living in them.
The Jesus Army Battlecentre in London is listed as being worth £13 million ‘dependant on planning caveats’.
Mr Johnson believes the Jesus Army – a registered charity aimed at helping the needy – has a moral duty to compensate the commune workers.
“People who lived in the communes were basically being looked after as if they lived in a hotel,” he said. “These workers should have been classed as employees.”
A spokesman for the Jesus Army said the redress scheme would “soon be open to sympathetically deal with the claims of people who consider that they had a bad experience in connection with the church.”
He said that extended to “people with money concerns” such as those whose National Insurance contributions were not paid.
The Jesus Fellowship Survivors Association is working with the church to compensate victims of abuse. A spokeswoman said: “We have heard, and are still hearing, many stories like Ian’s.
"We are pushing hard for restitution of financial harm to be included alongside a redress scheme being set up in conjunction with the JFCT (Jesus Fellowship Community Trust).
"As part of this involvement, we are putting pressure on the JFCT to do the right thing, morally, regarding financial redress for adults.
“Whilst working with the redress scheme we are also working with solicitors to bring group civil actions.”

PRE-TRIB RAPTURE CONCERNS: JAN MARKELL AND FRIENDS

A survey conducted by LifeWay Research in 2016, revealed that 36% of Protestant pastors in the US believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. {1} The pre-tribulation rapture theory is also popular in the UK and is a dominant belief amongst Pentecostal and Charismatic groups. Some teachers insist that differences about the timing of the rapture are not a reason for Christians to separate. In one respect I agree. Those Christians who believe that the post trib/pre wrath rapture is the biblical model should do everything possible not to alienate those who have been indoctrinated by the pre-trib error. My problem is not with the rank and file, but rather with those teachers who aggressively promote the pre-trib rapture knowing its inherent weaknesses. While these teachers keep banging on about the pre-trib rapture and abusing those of us who believe differently, I feel that the subject will necessarily be a cause of division.

The pre-tribulation rapture theory is so deeply flawed and dangerous that it absolutely necessitates a strong challenge. (Jeremiah 23:16; Proverbs 13:12). The history of pre-trib stands on very shaky ground. (Matthew 7:26-27). The theory was popularised by false teacher and cult leader John Nelson Darby in the 19th century. Prior to Darby, the pre-trib rapture view was completely unknown, although I have heard its proponents falsely claim otherwise. The men who further popularised the pre-trib rapture in the late 1990's, were to put it mildly, of very dubious character. Tim LaHaye (Left Behind), Chuck Missler, Jerry Falwell, Paul Crouch, etc. were staunch supporters of cult leader Sun Myung Moon (Moonies) and were financially/politically compromised.{2}

Broadcaster Jan Markell (Olive Tree Ministries) aggressively promotes the pre-tribulation rapture. Jan refers to those of us who reject this view in favour of the pre-wrath or the post-tribulation rapture "naysayers". {3} I fear for people like Jan. (Matthew 12:36). Many who reject the pre-wrath/post tribulation rapture have not studied the scriptures objectively to see if these things are so. (Acts 17:11; 1 John 4:1). I do appeal to Jan and friends to revisit this subject and to reconsider their position.

The Old Testament "prophets of doom" were also categorised in equivalent terms as "naysayers". They spoke the truth, although they met a great deal of derision and persecution. Those who tickle itching ears give the people what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear. (2 Timothy 4:3; Isaiah 30:10).

Hananiah the false prophet is a striking case in point:

In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and all the people, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. Within two years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon. I will also bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon, declares the Lord, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.” (Jeremiah 28:1-4).

Hananiah's prophecy was appealing, even to Jeremiah in some sense. However, in reality it was nothing more than a pipe dream:

Jeremiah: "Amen! May the Lord do so; may the Lord make the words that you have prophesied come true. Yet hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people. The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms. As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes to pass, then it will be known that the Lord has truly sent the prophet.” (Jeremiah 28:6-9)


Problematically, the test of whether a prophecy comes to pass (or not) will come too late for those who have been deceived by the pre-trib error. The consequences of false pre-trib rapture expectations will be enormous! The great tribulation will begin suddenly at the mid point of the 70th week of Daniel, when the Antichrist takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. (2 Thessalonians 2:4). At this late stage, it appears that many will have put all their hope in escaping persecution and will fall away. Many Christians will not be sufficiently "rooted in Him" to understand or endure the unparalleled persecution of the Antichrist. (Matthew 24:21; Colossians 2:6-7; Revelation 14:12).

Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. (Matthew 13:5-6). 

As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. (Matthew 13:20-21).

And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. (Matthew 24:10).



The Generation That Will Not Pass Away – JD Farag, Amir Tsarfati, Jack Hibbs, Billy Crone and Eric Barger - 5th July 2019.

In the above video below, Jan has compiled excerpts from longer interviews during her Understanding the Times Conference 2018. I have picked up on a couple of points as follows:

JD Farag's Poor Theology. (11:00) - The pre-tribulation rapture permeates the entire teaching of Jan and her friends, and in the process it distorts the teaching of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 5:9). Both Jan and JD equate the pre-trib rapture with the "blessed hope". The context of Titus 2:13 describes the blessed hope as "the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ." The blessed hope is intimately bound up with the glorious appearing i.e. the second coming of the Lord, when he will slay the lawless one with the breath of his mouth. (2 Thessalonians 2:8). To add further confusion, Jan and JD dismiss the biblical distinction between tribulation (thlipsis) and wrath (orge) and treat them as synonyms. In doing so, they continue to advance the seven year tribulation fallacy and the pre-trib rapture. These persistent errors have been corrected many times by competent bible scholars over the years. Wilful ignorance and poor theology are inexcusable in those who presume to hold positions of authority within the church. 

But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. (Titus 2:1).

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. (James 3:1).

Jack Hibbs' Dishonesty. (29:00) - Both Jan Markell and Jack Hibbs claim that those who are premillennial and post-trib have a "problem" with Israel. Hibbs: "I can tell you right now without meeting them, they have an issue with Israel.." This piece of misinformation is easily debunked. There are a number of significant premillennialists who teach that God will work simultaneously with Israel and the church during the 70th week of Daniel. Two examples are cited below:

Alan Kurschner (Eschatos Ministries) teaches biblical prophecy from a futurist, premillennial, pre-wrath perspective and is pro-Israel.
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-will-work-israel-church-simultaneously-in-future/id521019400?i=1000441901546

Joe Schimmel (Good Fight Ministries) teaches from a futurist, premillennial, post-trib, pro-Israel perspective.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCgDt9Ox3Ww

As a pastor, Jack Hibbs should know the importance of telling the truth. (Ephesians 4:25; Proverbs 12:17). The integrity of a teacher comes into serious question when he is blatantly dishonest with the facts.

Going back to JD Farag. In a previous video with Jan Markell in 2017 "What on Earth is Happening? - he made the insane accusation that anyone who attacks the pre-trib rapture is "satanic". (7:00).



Whether deliberately or not I cannot say, but JD uses the Nazi technique adopted by Adolph Hitler: "..people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it." {4}

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter. (Isaiah 5:20).

..while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13).

That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. (Isaiah 30:9-11,15).
