Thi...Why assume a furlong corresponds to a century? This seems to be modern metric bias. A furlong is, according to Wikipedia, "660 feet, 220 yards, 40 rods, or 10 chains."<br /><br />If we go with the rod-year interpretation, then that gives us 120 years - divided into three lots of 40 years. Numbers which crop up quite often in the Bible, starting in Genesis when God gives 120 years of warning to humanity before the flood, and continuing in Exodus when that's the division of Moses' life, and the Hebrew's are condemned to wander for 40 years in the wilderness. 120 years is also about the limit of the natural human lifespan, so it's long enough for the previous generations to completely die off - fully severing the roots of the people.<br /><br />The question remains, though, when Britain lost its roots. I would certainly say it was no later than 1967, when abortion was legalised, and very likely a lot earlier than that. Maybe even pre-war? Or maybe during the war...Cerereanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935694167944319731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154359965221795553.post-17301412052403770272016-10-04T01:39:45.270-07:002016-10-04T01:39:45.270-07:00THat's a very interesting thought, Nathaniel, ...THat's a very interesting thought, Nathaniel, and you could well be right. I can't see a political union but a sort of joint spiritual coming together might be just what the world needs. It might certainly benefit both countries which are surely still close cousins. I believe there are some predictions about this.

If I take the first lines literally...<br /><br />The green tree which springs from the trunk<br />When thence it shall be severed<br />And removed to a distance of three acres<br /><br />Plymouth, UK to Cape Cod, MA is just a little over 3,000 miles - and I think it would be fair to call America a a "green tree which springs from the trunk" that was severed. It has also been a source, or place of preservation, for many Christians - and grew to material power while the Empire fell apart. Culturally we're not too distant still (for better or worse). We're coming closer to 300 years separated, but it does feel like we're coming to an end soon as *the* world superpower. Perhaps this timing could somehow be connected to a spiritual revival in the West.Nathanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531664498277638757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154359965221795553.post-34788971386820212092016-09-29T01:52:40.780-07:002016-09-29T01:52:40.780-07:00Anything's possible with a prophecy!

The prophecy refers to England and its separation from the truth so must be seen in a spiritual context I believe.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154359965221795553.post-79698021972332004932016-09-28T17:35:25.432-07:002016-09-28T17:35:25.432-07:00Could it also refer to America?

Unfortunately I've no idea what the original is though it may be online somewhere. <br /><br />What I mainly take from this prophecy is the idea that there is a spiritual loss but eventually a return to truth comes about, though this is more down to God's mercy than anything human beings do on their own. This may be a constant pattern.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154359965221795553.post-79416585980383740482016-09-27T07:02:55.460-07:002016-09-27T07:02:55.460-07:00@William - Interesting - I didn't know about t...@William - Interesting - I didn't know about this. <br /><br />Furlong is more likely than acre - because furlong is a distance while acre is an area.<br /><br />An acre being one furlong X one chain - = the lenth an ox team could plough without turing and resting X the width of a strip - conventionally 220 yeards X 22 yards = 4840 square yards; although the actual medieval lengths and areas varied several fold according to the type of soil.<br /><br />But according to Wiki, a furlong was sometimes called an acre's length, which may explain the confusion in reporting. <br /><br />This may give a clue to the symbolism - if a furlong/ acre's length is how far you could go before you needed-to/ ought-to turn around and come back...?Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.com
