The UK Times reported the following:

Boris Johnson set for landslide in battle to reach No 10

July 6, 2019

Boris Johnson is on course to enter Downing Street with a resounding victory this month, according to a poll of Conservative Party members.

Mr Johnson is backed by 74 per cent with Jeremy Hunt on 26 per cent, according to a YouGov/Times poll taken as Tories start to receive ballot papers. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/boris-johnson-set-for-landslide-in-battle-to-reach-no-10-k8j3w3j03

So, the Times believes that Boris Johnson will be the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (which is the official name of the UK).

Boris Johnson claims he will set out a vision that, to me at last, sounds like US President Donald Trump’s “make America great again’ slogan:

Boris Johnson has vowed to make Britain the “greatest place on Earth” if he gains the keys to Number 10 as he said he will united the country by delivering Brexit.

The clear frontrunner in the Tory leadership race, Mr Johnson said delivering Brexit would “improve the quality of life for everybody.”

And the former foreign secretary said he was “fighting for every vote” as party members prepare to cast their vote in the final ballot of the contest.

“It’s time to drive for the line, keeping the ball at the back of the scrum. I’m fighting for every vote and campaigning flat out and will be from now until the end,” he told the Telegraph.

“I will set out a vision for Britain as the greatest place on Earth. The greatest place to be, the greatest place to live, to raise a family. The greatest place to send your kids to school, the greatest place to breathe clean air.” 07/05/19 https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnson-vows-to-make-britain-greatest-place-on-earth-if-he-wins-battle-for-number-10-a4182881.html

No politician of the world, including Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, or those running who oppose them, has the answer to the problems in this world.

If so, first they would repent. Secondly, they would then encourage national repentance.

But none I have heard have done either.

Without national repentance, the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are doomed.

The Anglo-nations need national repentance. God would listen:

13 When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. (2 Chronicles 7:13-15)

Notice that lack of repentance is listed as a reason that the King of Assyria (the final King of the North) will become Ephraim’s king:

3 I taught Ephraim to walk … 5 … But the Assyrian shall be his king, Because they refused to repent. 6 And the sword shall slash in his cities, Devour his districts, And consume them, Because of their own counsels. 7 My people are bent on backsliding from Me. Though they call to the Most High, None at all exalt Him. (Hosea 11:3a, 5b-7)

Ephraim is the progenitor of the British-descended peoples. The Bible prophesies that these people will be taken over and their cities devoured because they want to do things their way and not God’s way.

Without repentance, increased pride is occurring, and this will be followed by the prophesied destruction of the Anglo-nations. And yes, other nations have their sins, but they will be punished later–But you personally can and SHOULD repent.

Individually, and nationally, repentance is needed:

20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

21 “But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 22 None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. 23 Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord God, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live? (Ezekiel 18:20-23)

30 “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” says the Lord God. “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. 31 Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and live!” (Ezekiel 18:30-32)

Your Bible says many people have made an OUTWARD show of returning to Him or repenting, but they haven’t done it WITH THEIR HEARTS! Ephraim’s repentance, and for that matter, that of the rest of the world, is the outward, superficial, WORLDLY REPENTANCE with no real sincerity or DEEP feeling.

Many repent like Esau:

14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: 15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; 16 lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. 17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears. (Hebrews 12:14-17)

Esau was sorry for what happened, but did not truly repent towards God nor wish to switch from following the way of get to the way of give. His move towards repentance, like others in the world, was hollow.

After Jesus was executed, Judas “repented himself” (Matthew 27:3, KJV)–but it was TOO LATE. So, he “went and hanged himself” (Matthew 27:5), which demonstrated that Judas did not understand repentance.

Now, getting back to national matters, politically, Boris Johnson is known as a supporter of Brexit (the British exit from the European Union) and its ‘economic benefits’ for the UK. Notice the following:

6 July 2019

Mr Johnson vowed to launch an immediate review into creating free ports so they could be up and running as soon as possible after Britain leaves the EU. During a visit to the North-east, he said: “As Prime Minister, I will do everything I can to boost investment and economic success across the entire United Kingdom.

“Taking advantage of the opportunities afforded by leaving the EU to introduce free ports is an excellent way to boost businesses and trade in regions that Westminster has neglected to pay attention to for far too long.” https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1149966/boris-johnson-prime-minister-free-ports-uk-economy-tory-hustings-jeremy-hunt

LONDON — The front-runner to be the next British prime minister, Boris Johnson, is barnstorming across the countryside, campaigning on his Latin-quoting, rumple-suited, Oxford-educated, optimistic, populist Englishness.

But most of all, Johnson is running on Brexit. Yet again.

Johnson was the face of the winning Vote Leave campaign in the June 2016 referendum — the one that promised it would be easy to exit, mark a windfall for the treasury and usher in a new age of global go-go Britain. And now it is his time to deliver his Brexit.  …

Johnson boasts that he will deliver, “come what may.”

It is a bold promise — and reckless, his critics charge.

Johnson has committed to a leap into the unknown with his vow to leave without a withdrawal deal if one has not been sorted by Oct. 31 — the latest deadline granted by the Europeans. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/boris-johnson-says-hes-prepared-for-a-no-deal-brexit-critics-say-thats-reckless/2019/07/05/883fa94c-9c15-11e9-83e3-45fded8e8d2e_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.56541f550663

Boris Johnson’s Brexit statements have often upset those in the EU. The EU does not want him to be the next UK Prime Minister. We will see if Boris Johnson delivers on his Brexit promises.

Of course, if Boris Johnson does become Prime Minister, that will not save the UK from what is prophesied to come to pass (see also Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel).

The UK, like the rest of the world, needs the Kingdom of God. Promises from worldly politicians will not bring that.

A Boris Johnson Prime Ministership will mainly tend to speed-up European resolve to push for something that the current Anglo-American domination that the world has seen for the past two or so centuries.

A while back, the Continuing Church of God put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

End of the Anglo-American Order

In mid-2017, BBC ran an article under the headline of “End of the Anglo-American order?” Is that really a question or the biblical reality? After the Brexit vote, the election of US President Donald Trump, and US rejection of the Paris accords on climate change, is the world really going to put in a different order? Some are claiming that Europe or Germany will head up this new world order–an order that sounds eerily similar to one essentially proposed and approved by the United Nation in 2015. Is the UN’s “Agenda 2030” a false gospel? How will this end for the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand? Will there later be something better to replace it? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.

Brexit and the fate of Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, the UK, and the USA On April 29, 2017, 27 of the nations of the European Union agreed to certain guidelines for the negotiations with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which gave its notice to leave on March 29, 2017. These guidelines are contrary to what the UK wants. Does the EU intend the UK to pay a price for leaving the EU? What does Spain want? What does the Republic of Ireland want? Will Northern Ireland and Gibraltar eventually fall under European control? Will the UK and USA be conquered? What does the Bible teach? Dr. Thiel answer these questions and more in this video.
Forbes’ Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation Various ones have been properly convinced that there is a plan for a European superstate. Forbes’ writer Tom Worstall wrote that the Brexit vote was about the United Kingdom “not joining the monster of the European Union to come.” The Bible tells of a Beast monster that will arise in the end times in Europe. Dr. Thiel cites news reports, as well as the Old and New Testaments, to show that the monster many fear will arise in Europe, despite the vote by the British to exit the European Union. This is a video.
Will the UK Lose Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands? For many years, the major sea gates of the world were possessed/controlled by the United States (Panama Canal and certain locations in the Pacific ocean) and the British Empire (Straits of Malacca, Singapore, Suez Canal, Bab el Mandeb, Strait of Hormuz, Simon’s Town/Cape of Good Hope, Malta, etc.), and many are no longer under their control. Spain wants Gibraltar and Argentina wants the Falklands (also known as the Malvinas). UK Prime Minister David Cameron says the UK will defend the Falklands Gibraltar. Does the Bible give clues as to what will happen with those ‘sea gates’? Do promises made the Jacob’s mother Rebekah play a role? What about Deuteronomy 28? This is a video.
