Here is something for your study and prayer:

Celtic Christianity is familiar to some of us and not to others.  I joined a Celtic Christian community in 1992.  Through this community I met my wife and set off on a wilderness journey which has led us into Torah and Israelite identity.   I believe this ‘stepping stone’ has enabled us to go deeper into that life, benefitting from the efforts of the Celtic ‘saints’.  I am not say that the Celtic ‘church’ had it all right, however much of the British Isles and beyond were reached by these pioneers and therefore the subject is of significance.

When I heard about our early christian history I found it felt familiar and a reconnection rather than an introduction.  It was so different from the christianity I had experienced so far.   The Celtic believers loved nature and were very connected to the seasons.  Their authority structures we much less hierarchical.  They loved to study scripture for themselves. They were at first free from the influence of the Romanised ‘church’.   They kept Shabbat and much of Torah, but the christian community we were part of, under-stated this truth; they were still projecting modern christian anti-torah bias back onto these people.  

After a few centuries Celtic believers (and the Anglo-Saxons who joined them) were bullied and threatened about many of these things because they were at odds with Rome who “earnestly warned them not to imagine that their little community, isolated at the uttermost ends of the earth, had a monopoly of wisdom over all the….churches of the world”.  They resisted the pressure to submit to Rome for a few more centuries, though they tried to accommodate the differences.  Generally they kept themselves to themselves.  Eventually at the synod of Whitby in 664, this Torah friendly pocket of believers who understood themselves to be: “we are Your folk, the nation of Elohim and the people of Elohim” (The Celtic Church in Britain - Leslie Hardinge p157) submitted to Romanism and lost the treasure of Torah.

We have seen and known of many who have sought to undo the Whitby mistake through much intercession without success.  The reason for their failure I now see clearly.  These people didn’t/don’t see that Torah was the core loss and it was not that we had lost just another flavour or expression of the faith.

This year Nathan and Grant, who we met about two years ago, are calling a gathering at Whitby on Yom Kippur to pray T’shuvah / turning back from this key moment when we let go of Torah for the sake of unity with a big bully.  I believe this time, those interceding will have understood what is needed to break this curse off Britain!  If you see the need to turn back to Torah and understand how the past effects the present perhaps you would like to be involved with this initiative to whatever degree?  Please ask me and I’ll send a copy of their letter.  I may also be able to help point those who are interested in the subject generally in the right direction.

Are you worthy of victory?


Are you worthy of victory?

The second crusade (1144), still motivated by the desire to defend eastern Christians from the vicious Muslim invasions, went so badly that many reflected back on themselves in the West that the failure was their lack of purity.  (This led to movements such as Franciscan simplicity and could be partly why protestantism developed later, ETC)  For similar reasons today there is an awakening to look for purity that leads to victory not shame and failure.  The West has largely thrown the baby out with the bathwater of churchy failings.  It has generally been swapped for an amazing belief in a magical beginning by chance millions of years ago.  A belief system which robs all meaning from life; rejecting The Maker who chose Abraham 4000 years ago.  This dominant thinking persecutes the believer who takes the Good Book seriously.  It however has absolutely no solution to the Islamic revival taking place.  The cause for Western failures, regarding understanding and responding to Islam today, is partly the arrogance which presumes money or tolerance will win over Mohammedans to “our ways”, as if they would want to!  The chaos of flooding ‘sin’ is not on Western minds as they have magicked away ‘sin’ by pretending The Maker is not there.  Remember too that martyrdom is less attractive without 72 virgins or worse no after-life at all!  The West is in more trouble than ever.  Yet many will riot for better pay when the money is fictional.  The West is finished in its present form.  The enemy is “within the gates” through Eurabian policy; a trojan horse.  

The key is not to simply understand the good motives of those who went crusading between 1095 and 1291 (the recent ‘crusades’ in the last twenty years were surely less purely motivated?).  Some good may come from physical fights against IS(and Hamas, Muslim Bros, etc),  but to seek that purity; of thought and action......    The Maker in His kindness is using Islam and the fall of the West to take us MUCH deeper than just back to Richard the Lionheart.  Not a revival of anything we have known over the last 2700 years(<-  a clue).  Oh there is MUCH more to find if we ask, knock and seek.  Christianity has been a greenhouse for 2000 years.  There have been various types of churches differing in their level of understanding but always missing some major KEYS which make sense of history; a better BIRD’S EYE VIEW.   Christianity has been limited by having almost always all of these keys missing;



Key:  “Follow ALL The Maker’s Instructions”  The Majority of Christianity taught or still teaches that Messiah paid for our sin to free us from Following The Maker’s Instructions......this is getting Paul so wrong!  “Those who teach against the least of the commandments are least in The Kingdom”.  Torah.  It is not following The Maker’s instructions that got us into this trouble in the first place.  Nationally and individually.  His annual feasts are not finished with! Pig is not ok to eat (even the Muslims know that) neither is prawn.  Right and wrong is defined by these instructions; starting with the top ten but all are for our good.  The Shabbat(Sabbath) remains a good weekly gift.  

Key:  “We are in Exile”  Hosea chapter 1.  Joseph’s blessings.  Grafted back into Israel (or joining Israel for the first time as did those in the first Exodus).  

Key:  “Exodus II”   “He has heard our cry” The next rescue of The Maker will be after the plagues as with the first exodus.   No “beam me up” before the trouble that is coming.  But the rescue will be before the destruction of this generation’s army of ‘Pharaoh’.  Even if we are beamed up, we land back here on earth (-if we are counted worthy!)

Key: “The Happy Ending”, The Great Shabbat: The 1000 year rule of Messiah.  Both houses of Israel re-united as a light to the other nations which are left after the “great tribulation”....here on Earth. “Your Kingdom come your will be done on EARTH as it is in the Heavens” - sitting on clouds, playing a harp....is not biblical.  The great expectation is of The restored Kingdom as it was with King David (only better than before!)

( note for my Jewish friends;   Going to protect the christians in Iraq today by attacking IS is seen as good, even if mistakes are made, yet IS calls those attacking them “Crusaders”.    It is fashionable to see the crusades as motivated by greed and “anti-semitism”.  That is mostly untrue.  Sometimes Jews were killed when they took sides with Muslims and there were times when Jews were attacked without sanction from leaders back in Europe.  Obviously some terrible things were done by “Crusaders”(they were not called that back in that era).  For Jews and lovers of Jews like myself, it is time to let go of notions like the “golden age of Judaism” in the heart of Muslim lands as Dhimis; Mosheh ben Maimon/Rambam’s perspective was always going to favour his master’s over his master’s enemies; the Christians.  It has been terrible for Jews where ever they were )

“Émigrér out of her my people”


“Émigrér out of her my people” 


In my little Sukkah, which teaches me everything, is a desert without limits. 
Its four posts; prayer, meditation, fasting, and manual work, are strong. 
Monstrous distractions weaken over time with a little trust.
Restored to the few are the orderly maps of the internal landscape; 
Torah; Joshua's easy yoke. 

More than 2700 years of rebellion leaves much debris to clear from the old paths.  

Joy in the house that Jacob built, fuels us to do the impossible.  Alone, we pioneer for the many who will return together along the arc of exile. 

Sand on the shore and stars in the heavens, yet only a remnant for The Happy Ending here on earth.

The Happy Ending, restoration of His nation.


The popular christian view of the future, from all I read and heard, is that we get a ticket to heaven and will sit on the clouds playing a harp, or as has been said "Pie in the sky when you die".  I searched the Bible.  The future foretold is of the nation of Israel being restored and of the people of Israel once again ‘Following The Maker’s Instructions‘ as they were always meant to.  And after Israel is restored, then all the earth will experience a happy ending as Israel fulfils their role and place.   
The second chapter of Daniel in the Bible contains one of the most interesting and 'simple' tools to measure where we are in The Maker's time scale.  The consecutive empires which temporarily ‘replace’ Israel during the exile punishment are pictured as parts of a statue.  Babylon the head, Medo-Persia the shoulders, Greece the waist, Rome the legs, and then one final empire: The feet of iron and clay.  Universally the feet and toes were interpreted by western christians as a revived Roman empire, usually seen in a 1984 New World Order conspiracy kind of way.  This Elitist conspiracy theory is considered ‘global’ as understood today, rather than the ‘global’ of the previous four empires which were all middle-eastern.  It chokes out any expectation of an earthly out-come worth waiting for.   I accepted this as certain for 23 years.   About 5 years ago I saw an alternative understanding which actually fits history, instead of the revived Rome interpretation which leaves a 1300 year gap to be somehow explained.  Islam replaced the Eastern Roman empire over the land of Israel and therefore it is the ‘feet and toes’, or last empire before Israel, both houses (not just the Jewish part!) is restored to how it was under King David.  This is the desired Happy Ending we have all been waiting for.   “Your Kingdom come, your will be done on EARTH” makes sense at last.
Many people are stirred up about Israel's restoration and many pray for it.  However they for the most part don't imagine for one minute that they are meant to be grafted into the nation of Israel.  This is the thing Yeshua and his followers went around calling people to.  He didn’t talk about his death and resurrection.  The good news was that the time of rejection was over.  Not because we had turned round enough but “for His name’s sake”.  Yet most people think they have heard the gospel.  Now is the time to call people back to following The Maker’s Instructions and to become UNSETTLED where they live, in readiness for the greater Second Exodus.  This is the harvest gathering back to the land of Israel where we will be, once again, His people and He will be with us.
Passover is about Israel’s exodus from Egypt, Yeshua redeeming us from being slaves to sin with powerful forgiveness, AND in the near future He will rescue His people from exile, bringing them back to their home land.  
I know all this.  I’ve seen all this.  Yet the challenge for me is to allow the truth of His love to change me from being the traumatised child, one able to see things as an outsider but unable to fit in, into being an adopted son able to face the troubles that are coming as part of the nation being ingathered.   
As the plagues are repeated on a much bigger scale in prelude to the Second Exodus, we will see much trouble.  Who among us will prove to be trusting children?  This refining process will end with a worthy people fit to serve The Most High as a light to the other nations left after our ingathering.  
How then shall we live?

People of The Book.

One enemy: Lawless Liberalism



Amoral Evolutionary Humanism...a reaction to Church mis-rule
 and misrepresentation of the book and The Maker.

The other enemy with another book.





Islam reviving from a deep wound inflicted on it.  It is another misrepresentation of The Maker.


Both Judaism and Christianity have twisted what is written.  Judaism has often added to The Book making the 'yoke' too much for us to carry.  Christianity has often taken from The Book,  confusing and telling us that it is wrong to do what is written.

But Darwinism (liberal christian or humanism, atheism) and Islam both reject The Book as either made up or so distorted that it can't be trusted.

 So when we want to stand up against the bullying of either Darwinism or Islam, how will we best unite in resistance?

Nationalism for Britain, England, USA or anywhere can be alienating.

Seeking a banner to stand by?  How about what our enemy has called us?


'People of The Book'




The Good Book.






So let us live by the Good Book and follow the Maker's Instructions wholeheartedly.

Happy Ending

The twists and the turns of history will finally end happily.  A great day when The Maker brings back His order and therefore health in abundance.  Lion and calf,  wolf and lamb dwell together in unspoilt peace.  We get to taste the world as it was always designed to be, as we follow The Maker's Instructions.





The oppressive evolutionary myth......... will vanish.  I know it will be disappointing for the evolutionists to not get a chance at totalitarianism in Europe  (Thank The Maker)

No New World Order on the way.

Islam's time is short.

Christianity will have been refined from its false feasts and picking and choosing the commandments, and other alien influences.

Judaism will not add to what is written.

So watch and pray.






This is our hope.  Our expectation. 
 It is this that will refine us and get us through the dark before the dawn.






Your Kingdom Come Your Will Be Done On EARTH 
As It Is In The Heavens

Myth of neutrality




When the West swung away from christian power across to evolutionary humanism we were fed the notion that the old way of seeing was 'faith' and the new was 'fact' based on discoveries in science.

All those faithful to the evolutionist paradigm think themselves neutral in matters of gender, sexuality, life etc while viewing people of The Book as backward.  Also they underestimate Islam because they think it will see the 'facts' and do the same as the people of The Book, i.e. cower in shame for their misdeeds.  This won't happen.  Meanwhile little ones are killed in the safest place on earth.



                                    Who wants to go back to how it was under church rule?

                                                           I don't. For one thing I see......



The belief in evolution was accepted in reaction to the previous controllers. An artist walking with the mantle of scientific authority portrayed embryonic similarities as evidence for un-inteligent design.



Art used to sell a new faith.  Facts ?  None

Unintelligent design is so far from truth and takes more faith than any other belief, yet this dogma finds its way into the daily 'bread' (read opiate poison) of the masses.  It is well worn already and will fall before the zeal of Islamic revival.   Only a return to listening to The Maker and doing what He says will make a difference.





I do not advocate a knee-jerk raising of old banners, though the crusaders are being taught in ignorance.  
(I may well work with those who do) 
Instead, let us go back further to King David, not forgetting his Son, and....
Follow The Maker's Instructions.

Pleasing people or The Maker? Happy Families.

Due to a trauma in childhood which went unheard, I wasted much of my life so far pretending everything was alright when it wasn't.  Playing 'Happy Families' has been a habit I am presently seeking to break.

The global 'Happy Family', needs people who will speak the truth as they see it.

It is hard naming something people do not want to see......it might cost your acceptance or even your life.


So here is a another thing needing to be said.  Not for trouble's sake but for the sake of health.


"Gay Porn"



Even those who see Islam's role in prophecy seem prone to pleasing those who turn sin into a genetic trait.   

Having unpopular views doesn't mean you like causing trouble.  

Being soft, liking closeness to other men, not having a tight grip when shaking hands, or any number of ways of being a man....does not mean you are homosexual.  Naming a distortion of The Maker's design doesn't make you 'homophobic'.


(please excuse the UK plugs for not being 'universal' in appeal)

In place of exiled Israel. Five Empires. Then the restoration!

Just as promised, when we stopped listening to our Maker, we were exiled.

Babylon the head of gold.
Medo-Persia the chest of silver.
Greco-Roman the waist and thighs of bronze.


. . . .  and the legs . . . . and feet:



"Iron and Clay"




Turn to dust.
