TWIN TIMELINES

Part VII

As stated in our last installment of Twin Timelines, the present study is anchored by the identification of Jehu uprooting Jezebel, as recapitulated in Donald Trump’s political rise at the expense of Hillary Clinton. Working our way in reverse in the Scriptural narrative, we found the succession of power prefigured the partisan political ping-pong of the Democrats and the Republicans in America. For instance, a few chapters back, we showed how the split kingdom of Israel (wherein the Northern majority of Israel which was periodically known as Samaria), Spiritually deteriorated at a more accelerated rate than the Southern kingdom of Judah.

“And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel [the liberals] committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah  [the conservatives] feared not, and went and played the harlot also” (Jeremiah 3:8).

The Scriptures plainly document how Solomon’s sin, in which he sought to mingle the heathen gods of the Gentiles with the temple of Yahweh, resulted in the Old Testament people of Israel suffering through a civil war in which the North broke away from the South.

Viewed in the broadest sense, this development manifests the principle of a Role Reversal, which occurs periodically in the Prophetic Parallels paradigm, which Christian Media has been documenting for over 20 years (see The Apocalypse Chronicles Role Reversals and Prophetic Parallels, Vol IV#11, 1998). In one of the repetitive American manifestations of the Prophetic Parallels, it was the South which broke away from the North. This division is a form of judgment, as seen in the mystical handwriting on the wall in Daniel, where the ominous words said Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, Divided (Daniel 5:28).

After the kingdom of Israel reached its apex under the reign of good king David, Solomon was the pivotal figure who sought to synthesize the pure religion of Yahweh with the gods of Egypt, as he took the daughter of Pharaoh as his wife.

“And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh’s daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about” (I Kings 3:1).

Although foreign wives were forbidden to Israelites, Solomon’s wife (and Pharaoh’s daughter who is described as the Queen of Sheba in Scripture) converted to the worship of Yahweh.

“And the queen of Sheba…said to the king…Blessed is the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel forever” (I Kings 10:4, 6, 9).

After Sheba married Solomon, thinking he was the Messianic “Son of David” who would unite the Gentiles under Israel, the king sought to continue the process, so he proceeded to marry the royal daughters of other adjacent Gentile nations. However, unlike the daughter of Pharaoh, these other princesses continued to cling to their native gods. Through these relationships, Solomon sought to assimilate the heathen gods of the nations into a Divine Council of deities that was administered by the Most High. Eventually, this assortment of gods was known by the plural term of the Mesopotamian star god Baal – or the Baalim. A more detailed history of this aberrational development is found in the Christian Media published book Dead Men’s Bones. 

“Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon” (I Kings 11:7).

After the leavened “kingdom [which was] divided against itself [was] brought to desolation” (Luke 11:17), as Solomon sought to blend the worship of the devils with the worship of the LORD, a succession of kings of Israel in the North and Judaea in the South commenced. Periodically at war with each other, the two components of the formerly united kingdom of David were frequently allied against external threats.

Because of this, the accounts in Kings and Chronicles can get a bit confusing, as the narrative regularly jumps back and forth between the rulers of both nations. Recognizing Israel and Judah as two halves of the backslidden chosen nation, we see the third part of the Spiritual equation was the representative of the LORD. This “third” (which was seen in dynamic individuals such as Elijah or his successor Elisha), was often at odds with both factions. This is consistent with the prophet Zechariah’s astonishing articulation of the Spiritual architecture operating behind the two-fold realm of flesh and blood.

“And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God” (Zechariah 13:8, 9).

This profound Scripture barely scratches the surface of what we call The Triuniverse, and the nature of the Kingdom of God that is addressed in Zechariah’s mystery of thirds; however, the scope of the subject has already been explored in multiple books from Christian Media, including The Triuniverse, and The Triuniverse Book Two. For now, suffice it to say, the “two parts” are seen in the divided nature of the two earthly kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and these are juxtaposed against the singular Lord of glory, as seen in the prophet Elijah (and others) in that same “script” of the books of the Kings.

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is ONE Lord” (Deuteronomy 6:4).

That “third part,” is the presence of the LORD in any prophetic setting – and it is a factor in Jehu’s rise as the Scriptural tale introduces a man named Jehonadab. He is a priestly figure who is from the house of Rechab – and the “Rechabites” appear in several accounts as a devout family which held to the worship of the LORD throughout the period when Ahab and Jezebel (and their posterity) had spread the evil of the Baalim throughout Israel. The sequence in which Jehonadab appears is also significant.

Well after the time in which Jehu has successfully moved against both factions of Israel and Judah (representing the Democrats and the Republicans), as both factions are guilty of the Baal worship (involving the sacrifice of infants – read abortion), Jehu encounters Jehonadab.

“And when he was departed [from one of his battles], he lighted on Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, coming to meet him; and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart?” (II Kings 10:15).

Although the King James Elizabethan language obscures this just a bit, Jehu was asking Jehonadab if he felt the kinship towards the new king that the king felt towards him. We note that Jehonadab, prefiguring the true people of the LORD who have remained faithful to God (Zechariah’s third part), was en route to see Jehu – but it was well after Jehu/Trump had already challenged both Jehoram (the Obama figure), and the ruler of Judah (foreshadowing the corrupted Republican allies of Barack Obama). The reader will remember it was the Republican Bush family that had tried to thwart Trump’s rise by coercing a reluctant Jeb Bush into the race for the nomination, but Donald Trump outmaneuvered him early on.

Thus we see Donald Trump’s ascent to power was resisted by both parties – just as Jehu fought with both Israel and Judah -- as they were both compromised by the Spirit of Jezebel. Incredibly, this places Donald Trump (even though he is clearly an ungodly man), in the role of the third part, just as Jehu occupied the same position.

The record shows that many Christian pastors were unsure of the sincerity of Donald Trump (as the President certainly has a checkered past), and they withheld their embrace of his candidacy until the Trump campaign was well underway. In retrospect, the bulk of the Christian leaders in America, considering the heinous evil associated with Hillary Clinton’s murderous record, eventually warmed up to Mr. Trump when many realized the flashy candidate had already won over huge numbers of believers across the nation.

“The televangelist Pat Robertson once called [Bill] Clinton a debauched, debased, and defamed politician who turned the Oval Office into a playpen for the sexual freedom of the poster child of the 1960s. It’s difficult [for many] to understand how Robertson could tell Trump recently, You inspire us all” (TheAtlantic.com).

However, the fact is, in Donald Trump, the Christians recognized the LORD’s hand in giving America a path away from the wicked course of the Clinton/Ahab familial spirit. They further discerned the behind the scenes manipulation by the Democrats, who tried to derail the Trump candidacy with transparent dirty tricks, and they were offended by Hillary/Jezebel’s consistent duplicity.

Back in the Scriptural sequence, we see that Jehonadab finds in Jehu an individual whom the LORD clearly anointed to take down the total depravity which Ahab and Jezebel had engendered. These are also indicators that America’s believers are deeply concerned about the future of the nation, and the dangerous times in which we live.

After Jehu asked Jehonadab if he was with him, we see Jehu professes his desire to serve the LORD – clearly presaging how Donald Trump successfully courted the Christian vote. Thus, when Jehu asks if Jehonadab’s “heart” is with him and his agenda, the devout man answered in the affirmative.

“And Jehonadab answered, It is. [And Jehu said] if it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up with him into the chariot. And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot” (II Kings 10:16).

Readers may well remember the pivotal meeting at Trump Towers, which occurred in September 2016 – rather late in the game as the election was only weeks later in the first week of November. At that crucial meeting which was highly publicized, candidate Trump sought prayers for his campaign, and announced he had planned to create a faith advisory board, which was initially conceived as a body of 400 Christian leaders who would be consulted during a Trump presidency.

As the race for the White House intensified, we see the “chariot” of Jehu is also symbolic, as the Scriptural narrative describes Jehu’s driving as “furious,” when the outsider confronted the culture of Death which Israel had embraced.

“Your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it” (Isaiah 28:18).

During the election campaign, Donald Trump was incessantly characterized by the liberal media as crazy, unstable, and unfit to be President.

“So Jehu rode in a chariot, and he went to Jezreel…And their stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said I see a company. And the watchman told, saying…the driving is like the driving of Jehu, the son of Nimshi, for he driveth furiously” (II Kings 9:16, 17, 20).

Furthermore, we see some of the brash statements in Jehu that sound uncannily something like the coarse speech we’ve come to expect from Donald Trump. Throughout the candidacy of Trump, the left wing (and the leftist controlled media) consistently reproached Mr. Trump for his blunt, but usually accurate, statements. Back in the Scriptures, when Jehu confronted Jehoram (the Obama figure immersed in the spirit of Jezebel), the wicked king asked Jehu if he had come to oppose the Ahab/Jezebel power structure.

“And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy [matriarchal leader] Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?” (II Kings 9:22).

During one of the presidential debates between Trump and Hillary, candidate Trump broke with years of debate protocol, and told Hillary she should be in jail, even as he referred to her as “the Devil.” He accused her of horrendous criminal conduct, saying her deceit was unprecedented in a political leader and, unlike any other leader before in a nationally televised debate, he flatly stated that if he won the election, he would prosecute her for her many crimes.
