DOUBLE DOUBLE

Déjà vu In Bible Prophecy

Part XXI

Part XX of Double Double elaborated on how the ancient manifestation of the Little Horn -- and the Abomination of Desolation which resulted from the Little Horn’s Old Covenant appearance -- is doubled in our time.

Moreover, not only did the modern double of the Little Horn follow the “Script” of Daniel 8 which detailed the ancient cycle, the appearance of the contemporary state of non-Christian ISRAEL as the Little Horn was reconciled with the sequence in which the Antichrist figure arrives after the fourth kingdom of Daniel 7.

The mysterious discrepancy, in which the Little Horn arrives after the Grecian Empire of Alexander the Great (who is the 3^rd of 4 kingdoms in Daniel 2), but before the fourth kingdom, also arrives after the fourth kingdom in Daniel 7.

The conflict is the key to understanding these prophecies. This is because  the assumption that the fourth kingdom in Daniel 7 is the same as the fourth kingdom of Daniel 2 is inaccurate. We have extensively communicated the fact the fourth kingdom of Daniel 7 is America – operating in parallel to the fourth kingdom of Daniel 2, which is Rome.

The identification is resisted among the “Church” which has fallen to the strong delusion (II Thessalonians 2:11) because it requires that the Little Horn on the head of the American beast is the resurrected state of Israel – which adamantly rejects Christ -- and this shocking truth irrevocably destroys all adjacent prophetic interpretive systems.

We have noted how the Christian era timeline doubles the Old Covenant era timeline – all the way down to the four concurrent kingdoms which came out of the 3^rd consecutive kingdom of Daniel 2 – the “brass” kingdom of Alexander the Great – when Alexander’s “Great Horn” was broken.

“And when…the great horn was broken…four notable ones…came up…And out of one of them came forth a little horn  (Daniel 8:8,9). 

In the Lion, Bear, Leopard, and Diverse fourth beast set of kingdoms seen in Daniel 7 – which are England, Russia, Germany, and America – the 3^rd kingdom of Germany (led by Adolph Hitler) prophetically paralleled Alexander’s 3^rd kingdom of Greece. Just as Greece imploded into four kingdoms (one of which was Syria), “out of [which] came forth a little horn” (Daniel 8:8,9), Hitler’s Reich imploded as four kingdoms (one of which was America) divided Germany, and “out of one of them” came the Little Horn of Israel.

As the characteristics of the Little Horn in the Old Testament timeline are quite similar to the traits of the Little Horn in the New Covenant timeline, a composite picture emerges. Even though we are now living in the time of the contemporary Little Horn, when this portrait includes elements from the Old Covenant manifestation of the Little Horn, it is useful in projecting events in our future. It also confirms the identifications offered herein.

In the Judaean timeline before the Cross of Christ, the Little Horn of the Antiochian phase of the dynasty of Syria that dominated Judaea fits the Scriptural description so perfectly that even the Rapture Cult theorists could not deny it. For instance, in the margin notes of the best selling Bible in world history – the Scofield Reference Bible – we find the following in the editor’s notes:

“The little horn here is a prophecy fulfilled in Antiochus Epiphanes, B.C. 175, who profaned the temple and terribly persecuted the Jews. He is not to be confounded with the little horn of Dan. 7. who is yet to come” (Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford University Press, 1909, 1917).

It is very significant that the primary difficulty in tracking prophetic development and the identity of the Little Horn is not really related to an inability to recognize the true identity of the Christian era kingdoms imaged as the Lion, Bear, Leopard, and Diverse Fourth Beast. The relatively simple idea of doubled sets of kingdoms, divided by the Cross, which emerge in parallel, is difficult to reject once the historical facts are known.

Once again, these four Christian era kingdoms are the British Commonwealth, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), the Third Reich, and the American Empire.

The core problem is a multi-generational conditioning that is so deeply ingrained that most Scripturally literate believers have been thoroughly conditioned by the “other gospel” (Galatians 1:8) in which anyone that questions the identity of Israel is automatically assumed to be anti-Semitic. Most believers are unaware of the historical fact that in 18^th and 19^th century England, Christians leaders theorized that Christ had not yet returned in His long prophesied 2^nd coming because of the way European societies had treated the Jewish populations in their midst. This means Christian sympathies towards the Jewish people goes back centuries.

In many cases, the Jewish people were deported from the Christian era nations of Europe. Further, Bible Prophecy was primarily studied by Protestants who were convinced the Pope of Rome was the legendary Antichrist, and the fact the Roman Catholics were taught the “Church” replaced Israel in the LORD’s plan contributed to that perspective.

Thus, a theological perfect storm was engineered in the Satanic strategy to deflect the truth. Catholic theology accurately recognized the fulfillment of the LORD’s promises to redeem Israel in the Spiritual venue, but because the Jewish entrenchment in the early body of believers consistently sought to imbed the Gospel with legalism, the Gentile tendency was to remain separate from the Jewish influenced legalists through identifying themselves as the “Church,” thereby defining the body of Christ as an entity that was entirely separate from Israel.

As Christianity was opposed by the heathen Romans on one side, and those who sought to add Old Covenant elements as a condition of salvation on the other, the tactic of syncretism emerged. This is the practice that absorbs doctrine from its rivals, in order to close the distance between them. For instance, Greek and Roman religion featured many female deities (see Acts 19:24), so Romanists chose to elevate the role of Mary as a way to make the Gentile dominated faith in the “Church” more appealing.

The Christians who came from an ethnic Jewish heritage saw this as a theological Abomination, and it energized their resistance to the Roman Church, while encouraging an unscriptural reliance on the perceived steadfastness of the laws of Moses. The book of Acts tells us that as the faith gained ground, many Jewish priests, unable to resist the explosive doctrine of Chrisitanity, tried to synthesize the Gospel with the Old Covenant, so the centuries’ long infrastructure could maintain a modicum of influence.

“When [Paul came] to Jerusalem…[they] said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe, and they are all zealous of the law” (Acts 21:17, 20). 

This is the process Christian Media has codified as the 6, 7, 8 Cycle.

The number 6 representing the existing paradigm (6 days in the week, man was made on the 6^th day, etc), and the 7 – with its symbolic references to the 7^th day and its association with the perfect rest of the LORD – are combined to synthesize the two. The result is represented by the number 8, which is related to the 8^th day, which is actually the first day of the new week.

Also seen as the Marxist political equation known as the Dialectic, in which two opposing perspectives (the 6 and the 7) conduct a dialogue until a consensus is reached (the 8), the formula may be expressed as thesis versus antithesis equals synthesis.

“And there are 7 kings: five are fallen, and one is [6]…And the beast that was, even he is the 8^th, and is [comprised] of the 7, and goeth into perdition” (Revelation 17:10).

After the flesh and blood based intellectual cycle has run, the synthesis of the two becomes the new thesis, and the process is endlessly repeated. When we apply this formula to the 6^th kingdom, and break down the transitional stages of these empires, we see the pre-Christian Romans, who worshiped many gods (including Saturn), is represented by the number 6 in the formula.

“Five are fallen, and one is [for a total of 6]” (Revelation 17:10).  

The fact that a part of the 6 are “fallen” addresses the finite nature of the 6. The number 7 is widely associated with God, through the epic creation cycle in which the LORD rested on the 7^th day. In this equation, the Roman Empire collided with the entrance of the Word of God, represented by the 7 (and the eternal rest from our labours), which the LORD offered.

As the Roman way of earthly life sought to mingle their existence with the Gospel, the combination is symbolically represented by the number 8, which renews the cycle.

Since the False Prophet figure spoke “as a dragon” (Revelation 13:11), it is linked to collectivist practice of the Dialectic, where the two opposing factions dialogue until they reach the symbolic 8 of consensus. Hence, we refer to this practice as Dragonspeak.

Over a period of time, the flesh and blood Romans (the symbolic 6) eventually reasoned that Christianity (the symbolic 7) could be harnessed to serve the Empire, as witnessed by Emperor Constantine’s contrived claim he had a vision in 312 AD, which told him he could conquer the world through the cross.

Many believers fail to see the four kingdoms in Daniel 2 (the statue dream) and the parallel four kingdoms in Daniel 7 (the beast out of the sea kingdoms in the Christian era) follow 2 previous empires. In the Old Testament, Egypt and Assyria had come and gone by Daniel’s time, so the Babylonian Empire of Daniel’s day was actually the 3^rd Empire, following Egypt and Assyria. This computation makes Persia the 4^th, Alexander’s Greece, the 5^th, and pre-Christian Rome the 6^th.

“And in the days of these kings (Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed” (Daniel 2:44).

This makes the Kingdom of God the 7^th Kingdom.

When the Holy Roman Empire came to dominion, the empire transitioned from the 6^th empire (pre-Christian Rome) in Daniel 2 (which followed Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, and Greece) by combining the Gospel (the 7th in the cycle) with their existing kingdom, and morphing into the 8^th – which is actually the 1^st kingdom in the Christian era.

In this reckoning, the Old Covenant nation of Israel received their last chance to return to the LORD through the arrival of Israel’s Saviour Jesus Christ, which occurred “in the days of these kings” (Daniel 2:44).

The prophet Amos was given a vision communicating how the Old Covenant of Israel had a shelf life, as he saw a basket of summer fruit, which must be received in a timely fashion, before it spoils.

“Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. And he said, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more” (Amos 8:2).

Once we fully grasp how all of these earthly constructs are doubled, we will come to the knowledge that, just as Earthly Israel came to their last chance shortly before the next phase of prophecy unfolded in the New Covenant, the prophecy of Amos is doubled as well, as Heavenly Israel is also arriving at their last chance to turn to the LORD, as the era of Antichrist is now upon us.

However, a full rendition of that epic turning point will have to wait for the next installment of Double Double.
