Amalek defeated

The death of Sir Evelyn de Rothschild on the evening of November 7/8 was significant in a prophetic way because it marked the defeat of Amalek just before our watch date marking the end of Ye Shall Surely Perish court case in 2001.

Shortly after the Israelites left Egypt—even before they arrived at Mount Sinai—the Amalekites attacked them in order to steal the wealth that they had taken out of Egypt. The story is told in Exodus 17:8-16. We will quote Exodus 17:13-16,

¹³ So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge (“mouth”) of the sword. ¹⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this in a book as a memorial and recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” ¹⁵ Moses built an altar and named it The Lord is My Banner [Yahweh Nissi], ¹⁶ and he said, “The Lord has sworn; the Lord will have war against Amalek from generation to generation.”

This declaration put Amalek on Cursed Time, which was a grace period of 414 years to give them time to repent. At the end of that time, it was the 18^th year of King Saul, who, as king of Israel, was called to execute the judgment upon Amalek (1 Samuel 15:1, 2, 3). Saul, however, failed to execute Agag, the king of Amalek. Samuel himself did what Saul should have done, but by this time, the family of Amalek had escaped. One of Agag’s descendants (Haman, an “Agagite,” Esther 3:1) showed up many years later in the story of Esther.

For this reason, the problem of Amalek continued to the present time. Now that we are in a time of the second exodus and getting ready to enter the Kingdom under the New Covenant, we have again faced modern Amalekites. Sir Evelyn de Rothschild was their family representative.

The Rothschild family has directly opposed our own Kingdom project (in South Africa) for some years, having the same motivation that the Amalekites had in the days of Moses and Joshua. This has caused delays after delays—until now. Shortly after the death of Evelyn, the final preparations were completed and approved today. It seems that (as usual) we were delayed to the appointed time.

The significance of this is in the fact that his death means that we have overcome Amalek and have overcome where Saul failed.

When Joshua defeated the Amalekites in Exodus 17, God gave the Amalekites 414 years of grace in which to repent. So Joshua did not fail to defeat the Amalekites. Saul is the one who failed. Because of Saul’s failure, things were delayed and postponed to the time of the end. As I see it, we have now arrived at the critical point of success.

Our success was ensured 21 years ago, when we established the pattern of victory from November 1-14, 2001. The first 8 days (November 1-8, 2001) was the court case, Ye Shall Surely Perish. Now, 21 years later, we are able to see the fruit of that court victory. But it is clear now that the final defeat of Amalek had to take place beforehand.

Continuing with the 2001 pattern, our next watch dates are November 11 and 14.

On November 11, 2001, the revelation came that we were entering a new era in which we were equipped to do the ministry ahead. We were led to issue a prayer and declaration for the oppressed people of the world to hear the Word of God. On this day also, Joseph McGowan was born. He will be celebrating his 21^st birthday in a few days. Happy birthday, Joseph!

On November 14, 2001, we saw the coronation of the overcomers, and the Angel of Working Miracles was released, based on God’s promise in Exodus 34:10,

¹⁰ Then God said, “Behold, I am going to make a covenant. Before your people, I will perform miracles which have not been produced in all the earth nor among any of the nations, and all the people among whom you live will see the working of the Lord, for it is fearful thing that I am going to perform with you.

John 14:12 affirms this, saying,

¹² Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to the Father.

It would be nice to think that these miracles will begin on November 14, 2022, but that may be too optimistic, as the Scriptures do not set any dates for this. Nonetheless, our revelation from 2001 suggests that we are now about to cross the threshold into these “greater works.”

Another watch date that is soon coming is November 19, which, in 2001, was when the “White Horse” in Revelation 19:11 was released. It is not yet clear how this is to be applied in 2022. However, I just received a telephone call this morning telling me that because of the hurricane in Florida, my trip will have to be postponed a week. The man that I will be meeting lives in Florida and was going to take a plane to our rendezvous point, but the airports are closed due to high winds.

So we have to postpone our trip for another week and will leave either Thursday or Friday. It appears, then, that this important trip will reveal the significance of November 19. If possible, I will share more about that when I return.
