The United Kingdom will hold elections on July 4, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced yesterday. He could have waited until November, so the summer vote caught the nation by surprise. Sunak’s conservatives are badly behind in the polls. It’s hard to see him winning the election, so why not hang on to power for a few more months in the hope that things get better?
The government had some good economic news recently. Inflation fell to 2.3 percent, and the economy started growing again. Perhaps Mr. Sunak wanted to go to the vote as soon as he had some good news. But the turnaround has been too small for families to notice it in their budgets yet.
More worryingly, perhaps the government knows of bad news set to hit before November, which will hurt their chances even more. Perhaps the most convincing reason I’ve heard came from Andrew Neil on the Spectator TV, who said, “I can think of no good reason, other than that Rishi Sunak has had enough and wants out.” He seems likely to lose and sees no reason to hang on as a doomed leader, so he is getting out as soon as he can. It reminds me of Isaiah 3:6-7, which say that events get so bad that “a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand: In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.” It gets so bad that no one wants to be in charge.
That’s a pretty negative note to end on—so instead I’ll conclude by noting that today is the first day of our Celtic Throne tour.”
As Rishi Sunak said yesterday, we’re living “at a time when the world is more dangerous than it has been since the end of the Cold War.”
“Here at the Trumpet, we warn about these dark times, tell you exactly how things will get worse, and explain the cause. But there is a positive, hope-filled message we must get out too—one that shows the solutions to our problems; explains that though this world cannot be fixed, a new one will soon be built; and shows you what that world will look like. Celtic Throne is one of the ways we do that. You can learn more here.

Commentary: The year Rishi Sunak was elected he was shown on a BBC News reel approaching Downing Street No. 10. Smiling at the camera the PM held up the Red Dispatches Case and it was highlighted and turned green. This may highlight the reason he is leaving in his own timing.
Divine Reset Prayer:
Our Father Who Art in Heaven, We seek Your Victory over darkness at this stage of prophetic history. We know You will have Your Will to rule the nations with a Rod of Iron. We seek Your Deliverance to bring freedom from our own destructions and inventions. Therefore, we humbly submit ourselves to Your Way and Will as we call upon Your Name and Your Hosts of Heaven and seek Your Face to show us the way out from under our oppressors who seek the destruction of the Christian peoples of faith in our nations. We know no human army is able to deliver us. We pray for a Sovereign Act of Your Will to bring our deliverances by The Power of Your Holy Spirit.
Many have gathered to praise and worship, but few congregations have recognised the need to gather and fast and to repent of their sins that have led them to this place of brokenness and lack.
The Nations look for alliances with their foes instead of seeking Your Face and inquiring of Your Spirit how to prevail with Your Wise Strategy. We are guilty of allowing our foes to infiltrate our governments. We are guilty of of self-sufficiency and the belief that we could succeed with pacifying our enemies by accepting their lying agreements and hands in falsehood with their bribes.
We now seek Your forgiveness for our pride and independence from Your Government . We seek mercy and Your Grace as we petition to overturn all pro-abortion laws and other abominable practices which are a stench to You that would provoke Your Wrath. We submit our petition for You to act to gather a true remnant to fast and pray for our nations. We declare our nations will be renowned as Lands of Song and Praise unto The Most High God. We declare we will no longer suffer the brokenness of wars.
We declare our lands will be ruled by Your Rod of Iron and that Your Spirit Will make the Nations prove who they will serve, Jehovah or Mammon.
We decree our nation will return to serve at Your Altar and seek and inquire of Your Spirit to overthrow our oppressors. We declare that their plans will come to nothing and they shall be cut off and be no more in the earth. In The Almighty Name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
Let us agree in supplications and with praise of Adonai Elohim for His great plan of the redemption of the nations. Amen.
Let us agree with The Lord and His Words in this prophecy for restoration of the U.K. and Ireland.
