Twin Timelines

Part XXXVI

The Prophetic Parallels revealed in the Gog and Magog passages in Ezekiel, which were described in the last two chapters of Twin Timelines, helps to explain many things. The reader will recall we showed that Chapters 38 and 39 of the anointed writings of Ezekiel concern the war in heaven, when the ARC (the Angelic Rebel Coalition) fought to resist the arrival of the kingdom of God established by JESUS CHRIST.

"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not…And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ" (Revelation 12:7,8).

Since the Bible shows the kingdom of God arrives "in the days of these kings" (Daniel 2:44), and the kings in view had just been revealed to immediately follow Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome in the earthly timeline, in this vivid description from Revelation wherein the "dragon fought" a losing battle in which heaven announced "the kingdom of our God" has come, we may synchronize this "war in heaven" with the LORD'S victory over "Gog and Magog" (Revelation 20:8).

As any discerning reader can already see, every obstacle related to the foregoing statement is associated with our perception of time.

In the plethora of prophetic world views intrinsic to theological systems, multiple approaches to time have generated competing ideas which have taken root. With varying degrees of success, every system explaining just how eternity is distilled down into the turf of time is hampered by the flesh and blood side of the equations. If we lived in the generation of JESUS CHRIST, for example, our earthbound eyes would have seen the disciples enthralled with the life of the LORD - including His doctrine, His miraculous abilities, and His astonishing victory over Death at His jaw-dropping resurrection – an epic event He predicted would occur.

And yet, after all this, the very last question asked of Him by His disciples, just before He ascended to the Father, indicated a myopic understanding of the kingdom Christ had just introduced.

"When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?" (Acts1:6).

Although Jesus regularly labored to answer so many questions from His disciples, this was one of the rare occasions when He deferred answering -- essentially telling them this was not a question He could answer at that point in time.

"And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father hath put in his own power" (Acts 1:7).

Intriguingly, this very answer paralleled a previous sequence when the disciples asked a similar question. The LORD had stated that at some future time, every stone in the temple would be thrown down -- and John and Andrew had privately come to Jesus to ask when such an event was to come to pass.

"Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?" (Mark 13:4).

This launched what the scholars call the Olivet Discourse, which is a fancy title for the lengthy account that followed (as Christ sat preaching on the Mount of Olives) -- a narrative in which Christ described the events which must first come to pass, before the stones were thrown down. After His now classic description of persecution, wars and rumors of wars, great national distress, and an event predicted by Daniel the prophet known as the "Abomination of Desolation" (Daniel 12:11), JESUS said they would see Him coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

Recognizing the believers surrounding Him were still intensely interested in an earthly recitation of precisely when these things were to occur, Christ also stated that such knowledge was only held by the Father in heaven.

"But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father, Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is" (Mark 13:32).

Although it is certain that our generation - which is now vividly recapitulating multiple sequences already seen in history - will not know "when the time is" for the end of the age, we can ascertain the general proximity via the tenor of the events which are steadily accelerating all around us.

Along these same lines, the Twin Timelines paradigm has showed us that not only do multiple sequential events recur; they invariably speed up as we approach the finish line. Perhaps the most vivid example of this is found in the Christian era sequence of four kingdoms, beginning with the British Commonwealth, and concluding in the American Empire. Beginning with the English power, which goes back many centuries, the subsequent Communist revolution (Daniel's "Bear" kingdom following the British "Lion" of Daniel 7), we note the Slavic experiment in Socialism only lasted Seventy years.

The subsequent backlash to Marxist theory that was National Socialism (popularly truncated to the term Nazi) was even shorter, as World War II came to a close. We've already addressed the formation of the National Security State which overtook America in 1947 with the passage of the National Security Act -- later colloquially referenced as the Military-Industrial Complex in the Eisenhower era of the 1950's, the "Establishment" in the drug drenched 1960's, and other slang terms in the 80's and 90's. It is now loosely referred to as the Deep State.

As these four Christian era Empires (prophesied in Daniel's Lion, Bear, Leopard, and Diverse Fourth Beast sequence) were themselves a Temporal Recapitulation of the four ancient kingdoms of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome, it is obvious that life now moves a great deal faster in the contemporary quartet than it ever did in antiquity.

When we recognized the Four Horsemen sequence, consisting of the White Horse (recapitulating England), the Red Horse (the "Red" Menace of Communism), the Black Horse (Industrially driven Fascism), and the globalist amalgamation of its predecessors manifested in the Pale Horse as seen in the complex American world order, we further accelerated the accuracy of our perception of the sequence. Once the final empire of America consolidated world power through the addition of the "power and strength" (Revelation 17:13) given to the Beast Empire by the Ten Kings in the 1970's (see Chapter XX of the present work) the stage was set for the supernatural surge of Satanically empowered energy as the Little Horn state of Israel moved into political preeminence on the head of the Beast.

With the rise of the Little Horn in the midst of the Ten Arab Oil Kings - and the oil cartel's secretive embrace of the American Empire - the opposition to the existence of the Israeli state was quietly neutralized among the three founding members of OAPEC - The Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries.

As the Little Horn rose, the Islamic confederation which engineered a major surprise attack on the Israeli state during the 1973 "Yom Kippur" war, brought the cold war between America and the USSR to a boil. This period saw a rapid escalation of military hostilities with a nuclear armed Soviet Union, as Moscow threatened to intervene on behalf of their Islamic client states when their surprise invasion of Israel failed. The entire world worried as World War III looked perilously close.

Simultaneously, an American evangelical earthquake was rumbling, as the Baby Boom generation, then in their early twenties, suddenly became fascinated with Bible Prophecy. The astounding explosion of interest in what we know as Rapture theology burst forth in books, music and even film. The Late Great Planet Earth, a paperback penned by a pop writer from Dallas Theological Seminary, shocked just about everybody when the book's sales soared into the tens of millions, and it became the best-selling book in America for an entire decade. Breaking out of the staid conservative book distribution channel populated by Bible bookstores, Late Great was sold in supermarkets, drug stores, gift shops, and virtually any retail outlet that had room for a book rack.

The pop apologetic of Hal Lindsey asserted the Jewish return to Jerusalem was an end time's event, because the nation served as "God's timepiece," erroneously indicating the end of the world was to occur in this generation. Further, because the Jews were supposedly still the LORD's chosen people, they were destined to be saved, so all Christians should welcome them into the fold as their mass conversion to Christianity was alleged to be a foregone conclusion. Rapture Cult theology placed an enormous emphasis on prophetic expectation, and many millions of young people were thoroughly convinced the Rapture could occur at any moment without further warning.

The gigantic success of the Late Great Planet Earth (as well as the copycat books rushed to market by imitators seeking similar sales) was accompanied by a significant outpouring of Christian music, as young (and newly converted) Christian musicians discovered they were free to apply rock music rhythms to their newfound faith. The cultural paradigm shift resulted in born again record labels, recording studios, format conversions at radio stations, silly bumper stickers ("in case of Rapture this car will be driverless") and a multitude of national Christian music and preaching media networks.

As the years went by, and the Rapture did not occur, another Temporal Recapitulation of the cycle of the four kingdoms began - but virtually no one recognized it at the time. George HW Bush's election to the US Presidency in 1988 seemed uneventful until 1990, when Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq, invaded Kuwait. The American response (energized by the United Nation's blessing), was called Operation Desert Shield to protect adjacent Saudi Arabia - subsequently assembling Operation Desert Storm to dislodge Iraq from Kuwait. Meanwhile the Rapture Cult ominously identified Iraq with Biblical Babylon.

What was widely unknown at the time is the fact that Kuwait was one of the three founding members (along with Libya and Saudi Arabia) of OAPEC that had secretly agreed to steer the more militant Arab nations away from conflict with Israel, on behalf of the Moslem world -- thereby ensuring the free flow of oil to the industrialized states – even if hostilities erupted. Meanwhile, the Spirit of Antichrist within the Little Horn continued to maneuver the nations to conform to the Gog and Magog configuration outlined in the book of Ezekiel.

This means that George HW Bush, as the head of the United States, was in the position where Saddam had to be stopped. Thus, as President Bush announced that such aggression would not be tolerated in what he dubbed the New World Order to the United Nations (and the US Congress), the American Beast led the way to restore the core of OAPEC to the formation which had accommodated the long term plan that included Israel in the central role - as the Little Horn on the head of the American world order.

After the successful campaign to destroy the upstart Saddam Hussein, George HW Bush was knighted by the British Empire on December 1, 1993 - an indication his presidency had some connection to the first of the four king cycle of Daniel 7, as a Prophetic Parallel of the four ancient kingdoms of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. For decades Christian Media has identified these four powers as a Temporal Recapitulation of the Old Testament era quartet of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. Once again, they are Britain, Russia, Germany, and America.

However, it was not until the mid 1990's that we realized the four horsemen of the Apocalypse – The White, Red, Black and Pale Horses – were another accelerated description of the Lion, Bear, Leopard, and Diverse Fourth Beast quartet of kingdoms. During that period, an obscure prophecy figure of our acquaintance named Wendy Wallace, stubbornly continued to claim the Four Horsemen were a second witness to our long standing identification of England, Russia, Germany, and the USA as the Lion, Bear, Leopard, and Diverse Fourth beast New Testament era quartet.

After George Bush Sr (who would turn out to be yet another manifestation of the White Horse) lost his bid for a 2^nd term to Bill Clinton (with Clinton's campaign engineered by Hillary Clinton), it was not yet apparent that another Temporal Recapitulation of the sequential four king cycle was unfolding – as Bill Clinton, with significant Russian connections, fulfilled the Red Horse phase described in Revelation. During Bill Clinton's 8 years in national power and, as Hillary's malignant manipulations turned a corner after Bill was impeached, George W Bush fulfilled the Black Horse phase of the pattern – even announcing himself as the "war president" – another indication of the warlike fascist phase of the cycle.

By the time Bush II's two terms were completed, Hillary Clinton was ready to assume the presidency of the United States, fulfilling the Pale Horse phase of the pattern – but she was surprised by the crafty campaign run by embedded Islamic factions, which were activated in the global quest for power – and these powers clearly opposed the Israeli Little Horn and the direction of the Ten Kings cartel which acquiesced to Jerusalem's leadership. Thus, Barack Obama, with concealed loyalties to the Iranian/Islamic/Oil power which rivals OAPEC, was manifested as the Pale Horse. Obama's open hostility to the Israeli state quickly became apparent.

As the Rapture Cult controlled American Christian populace was alarmed at Obama's mingled loyalties, many continued to notice (and publicly identify) Bill and Hillary's characteristics as strangely similar to Ahab and Jezebel. It also became obvious that Obama was associated with secretive powers (read ISIS) – and signs that a hidden agenda was in play were everywhere. For instance, in the birth certificate controversy, it became clear that Barack Obama was ineligible to even run for president, as his falsified birth certificate said his father was born in a country that did not exist in the stated year. Furthermore, Obama was said to have arrived in this world in a hospital which would not be established until years after his birth date as well – but the skeptical incredulity that anyone would be daring enough to even attempt such a large scale charade plainly showed a supernatural hand was at work.

As these comments have brought us to the present stage in the Twin Timelines phenomenon, the primary take away is the fact that the Prophetic Parallels continue - but in each manifestation, they continue to accelerate. The four kingdoms which began with the British Commonwealth and culminated in the modern American Empire spanned centuries, but the four horsemen Temporal Recapitulation of those four kingdoms elapsed in a period of 28 years (a figure computed by summing the terms of the previous four presidents).

This means another round repeating the pattern is feasible, but if another as yet unseen manifestation of the White, Red, Black, and Pale Horse occurs, it will be even more accelerated than the last one. This is consistent with the idea of the Scripturally stated birth pangs of a woman in travail (John 16:21), as the predecessor processes of birth steadily increase until the threshold is reached. To put it another way, the pattern could theoretically increase in intensity, punctuated by a progressive shift, wherein the White, Red, Black, and Pale Horse manifestation arrives every six days, six hours, or even six minutes.....

We do know the Scriptures tell us there is a point in the timeline of earthly temporal existence when "the mystery of God should be finished" (Revelation 10:7), eternity is ushered in, and our existence in this realm comes to an end.

"And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven. And sware by him that liveth forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer" (Revelation 10:6).

Thus, even though the Scriptures tell us we will not know the hour or the day when we see "new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness" (II Peter 3:13), it is clear we are now in the last lap of the race the LORD has set before us.

"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience  the race that is set before us" (Hebrews 12:1).
