THE GREAT EXCHANGE

Part XXXVI

 

The writing in our last chapter of The Great Exchange focused on how the things seen in Scripture dealing with the Spiritual realm are mistakenly interpreted by Christians, as imaging the Earthly realm, from the perspective of linear time.

This greatly complicates the task of perceiving the truth that is disputed between the Allegorical perspective (commonly called the Amillennial view), which sees the Millennial Reign of Christ on the Earth as the entire age of Christianity, and the Literalist (commonly called the Futurist) view, which calculates things in linear time. As stated in the last few chapters of the present work, both perspectives are in serious error.  

The Word of God tells us that God Himself is beyond our perception of space and time. The knowledge of His divine existence is distilled into His Word in a way that is far higher than our finite, flesh, blood, and mind can fully comprehend.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8, 9).

In our last installment, I noted that as “civilized” man (an oxymoron if there ever was one) has a record of many of our efforts to approach and understand the God of the Bible in the venue of history, through the process of trial and error, we are in the position to inch our way forward – and occasionally, we even see a move we made was in the wrong direction. A good example of this is found in the development of Biblical theology. 

Obviously, the earliest Christian history is found in the Scriptures themselves, and the book of The Acts of the Apostles tells us a great deal. Acts is the bridge between the Gospels and the Epistles, with the latter elaborating on the Holy Ghost imparted knowledge transmitted through the Apostles.

In the book of Acts, we find the two primary opponents of the truth of Jesus Christ were the Jews and the Gentiles.

Just as Jesus was opposed by the Sanhedrin (the Jewish council comprised of the two sects of the Pharisees and the Saduccees), as well as the Romans (who actually crucified Christ at the behest of the Sanhedrin), the two factions epitomized what could be called the “two parts” (Zechariah 13:8) of the “Antigospel.”

Like a negative mirror of the principal which states the Gospel is for the Jews and then the Gentiles, in what we may label as the Earthly vessels of the Spirit of Antichrist, we recognize the triune Spiritual nature is intrinsic to the three entities of that which we call the Triuniverse.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16).

In numerous prophetic efforts, we’ve boiled these three factions down to Life, Death, and Hell/Paradise – with the turf between the two entities of Life and Death the equivalent of the fabled Valley of Decision.

“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision” (Joel 3:14).

It is self evident that this profound verse identifies three components, the “Lord” (who is “near”), and the two “multitudes” -- which would have to equivocate with other two factions of “Death” and “Hell.”

If the verse in Joel concerning the “multitudes” were the only one, we might suspect I am reading too much into the syntax; however, there are countless verses where the same metaphysical perception is found.

“Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem… Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement” (Isaiah 28:14, 15).

Thus, the Allegorical perspective is seen in these verses, simultaneously with the Literal number three.

At this point in the present work, I should mention that the forces which hinder our understanding – the Spiritual system comprised of Death and Hell which we’ve previously characterized as the Perdition Engine – is  already operative in this writer’s output as well as the thoughts of the reader. As human beings, we are all opposed by our own “two parts” of flesh and blood, which are impacted by the aforementioned “Death” and “Hell.”

“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work…and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world” (II Thessalonians 2:7; I John 4:3)

Fortunately, the Apostle Paul tells us this “mystery of iniquity” that is now at work is restrained, “until he be taken out of the way” (II Thessalonians 2:7). Incredibly, the Apostle John also includes the LORD’s restraint against the “Spirit of Antichrist,” as it is in his very next sentence:

“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (I John 4:4).

To clarify the matter, three factions were just revealed in the previous section. Obviously, the LORD (who “is in you”) is the Life in the Triuniverse. The “Spirit of Antichrist,” as the opposite of Christ would have to be the Death in the equation, and the “Mystery of Iniquity” would be the Hell in the middle ground.

Because this essential truth, accompanied by the many Scriptural accounts which testify of the triune nature of all things has been repeatedly articulated (see the books Triuniverse Book I and Triuniverse Book II, as well as many other Christian Media materials), for the sake of expediency we will move to the next aspect of the present focus, which seeks to resolve the supernatural space between the Allegorical and the Literal points of view. 

However, before leaving the thread of thought concerning the Literal number three, I would be remiss if I did not address an obvious fact. Even the Amillennialists would acknowledge that we are living in such a treacherous environment that the entire world is so precariously positioned that any one of several eventualities could quickly bring about the virtual end of physical life on the planet.

In fact, instead of saying the “end of the world” is looming, we could paraphrase the disciple’s question to Christ, when they asked what would be the sign that the end of the age is about to occur.

“The disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the [age]?” (Matthew 24:3).

In this context, it is worth reminding the reader of the Apostolic reality in which the New Testament clearly indicated the disciples saw the Christian era that was then dawning, at the end of the Old Covenant age.

“But now once in the end of the [age] hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself” (Hebrews 9:26)

Thus, as the world is indeed facing multiple catastrophes on the scale of the days of Noah, surely we are now approaching the end of the Christian age of Earth history – which means the epoch which is dead ahead is the third -- as it follows the Old Testament, and the Christian era.

Once again, the Allegorical view which coincides the present age with the Millennial Reign converges with the Literal Perspective, as characterized by an accurate Futurist rendition of the times in which we live. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the formula which yields a Literal number of three is not the only pattern seen in prophecy.

In seeking to sketch the framework of prophetic chronology, we return to a subject repeatedly seen in Scripture. This cyclical pattern has been dubbed The 6, 7, 8 Cycle, and understanding it is essential in healing the doctrinal division which has divided the body of Christ between the Allegorical and the Literal/Futurist schools of thought.

There are six widely identified Gentile kingdoms in the Old Testament era. They are all empires that intensely interacted with Israel, the chosen of the LORD. Egypt and Assyria are seen from the earliest time, and the four kingdoms which followed are irrefutably documented in the book of Daniel, as Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome.

The sixth kingdom of Rome is followed by the Kingdom of God, the seventh. After identifying kingdoms three, four, five, and six, the prophetic text identifies the Kingdom of God as the seventh Kingdom, so once again, the Literal count of Earthly Kingdoms merges with the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth kingdoms, which are described Metaphorically as a statue with a head of Gold, arms of Silver, a Brass belly and thighs, and Iron legs. 

“In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever” (Daniel 2:44).

 The 6, 7, 8, Cycle is engineered around the knowledge released in Revelation, which tells us the “eighth” kingdom is an amalgamation of all seven kingdoms.

“And there are seven [kingdoms]: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is [comprised] of the seven, and goeth into perdition” (Revelation 17:10, 11).

With the Kingdom of heathen Rome the sixth kingdom, combining with the Kingdom of God in Jesus Christ (the seventh kingdom), the combination becomes the eighth kingdom, which was the Holy Roman Empire in the Christian era.

Thus, the cycle overlaps from the Old Testament age, into the Christian era – the time of the New Covenant, and the second of three ages. This is affirmed by the writers of the New Testament who acknowledge it was the “last time” of the age of Israel.

“Little children, it is the last time…” (I John 2:18).

The Old Covenant establishes the eighth day as the first day of a new cycle  of seven days – with the eighth day symbolic of new beginnings. The new man child was circumcised on the eighth day, there were eight people in the ark of Noah, and many other rituals testify of this significance.  

The Holy Roman Empire becomes the first kingdom of the Christian era, and it was followed by Imperial Spain, the 2^nd Christian kingdom. These empires closely parallel their Old Testament counterparts, Egypt and Assyria.

Kingdoms three, four, five, and six in the Christian era are England, Russia, Germany, and America – which are allegorized as the Lion, Bear, Leopard, and Diverse Beast of Daniel 7.

We note how the six kingdoms of the first of three ages were imaged through the agency of a great composite statue, which was placed on dry land. However, the imagery of the Christian era kingdoms has them come up out of the sea.

“I saw in my vision by night, and. behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea” (Daniel 7:2, 3).

The previous chapter of the Great Exchange specifically dealt with the Allegorical imagery in which the sea was a metaphor of the Spiritual Realm, even as the land represented the Earthly Realm.

As each of the six New Testament era kingdoms precisely parallel the six Allegorically imaged Old Testament era kingdoms, the same pattern is predictive of Literal events now occurring. Just as pre-Christian Rome (kingdom six) collided with the Kingdom of Christ (the seventh) to form the Holy Roman Empire (the eighth), Christian era America (kingdom six) is now experiencing “the end of the [Christian age]” (Matthew 24:3), and the dawning of the rise of the Antichrist kingdom of Israel – the Little Horn empire of the resurrected state of Israel, which sits atop the head of the Diverse Beast of America (Daniel 7:8) – inaugurating the third of three eras,  which is the age of Antichrist.

Christian Media has an eye-opening, on-demand video elaborating on the crucial facts seen in the above article — which also includes predictions concerning the enormous turn of events associated with the present political tumult in America – especially with reference to the American diplomatic recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the political state known as Israel. 

We also publish a weekly news synopsis summarizing what has occurred each week (The ChristianMediaDaily News – The Week In Review). In addition to this, we produce a regularly issued companion letter commenting on the material seen in each chapter of THE CHRISTIAN MEDIA COMMUNIQUE. The latest edition of that letter (entitled the Christian Median MINISTRY STATUS REPORT or MSR) has even more prophetic projections concerning the amazing explosion of prophetic understanding which has occurred at the Christian Media ministry.

Further, we have 24/7 Radio Streams, a telephonic version of the radio stream where the Christian Media Network can be heard on the phone, and also an additional online video program dealing with Health and Survival, as well as other regularly issued videos which elaborate on doctrine, and identify specific False Prophets the believer should avoid.

However, the adversary has already sown tares in this vineyard (II Thessalonians 2:7), and we choose not to provide the website links with the video elaborating on the present prophecy writing here, as those who think they’re doing God service are tirelessly trying to excise the truth from the Internet (John 16:2).

Viewing of the online video on this subject is completely free (as is the receipt of this weekly Communique), and we greatly desire as many as possible will see it (a new video will replace it in another week), but to examine this subject further, we ask for a green light from you to send you the link. Because we refuse to “cast [our] pearls before swine” (Matthew 7:6), our materials are only sent for a brief period, in the hope the recipient will realize the importance of this mission, and decide they should be a part of what is occurring at Christian Media.

Further, because there are many vested interests which are threatened by the content the Christian Media ministry provides, regular efforts are made to penetrate our ranks – including even hacker attacks.

Incredibly, we’ve already proven that “Christian” parties, members of the “Church” that are moving in the Spirit of Hell, have actually hired hackers to attack our websites (Galatians 4:29).

Such are moving in the Spirit of the Pharisees and Sadducees who came before them.

Thus, we desire to weed out those who are insincere about further examinations of the truth of the Gospel, so we send the links to our Internet materials via surface mail.

As we move through the Spiritual wilderness beyond the veil of this world, even our Internet domains are periodically shut down by the dark powers, so we urge all those who hear the voice of the LORD in these Communiques to seek the LORD while He may yet be found. As those who have inherited the light of God through Christ’s marvelous work,

“[We] must work the works of him that sent [us], while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” (John 9:4).

To get our current Internet links, and receive full access to Christian Media materials, simply reply to this email with the word YES! in the subject line, and your name and postal mailing address in the body of the email, and we’ll send you the links to the multiple websites Christian Media operates -- which host extensive written prophetic material, multiple radio and television programs, and the video related to the above prophecy article.

Further, as many Internet Service Providers (ISP) now censor Christian material, when we send prophecy information to those who love the truth, and it “bounces” back because you are being censored (and you don’t know it, because you never see what is being held back from being delivered to you), on at least one occasion, we will print out the rejection notice and mail it to you via surface mail, so you can do something about it.

If you’ve already responded with a YES! and your name and mailing address after receiving a prior issue of this Internet periodical, you do not need to reply again, as the links we send you through surface mail provide you with an offline record on how to access all of our websites. 

Alternatively, to be removed from the database sending out our information, simply forward this email to James@christianmedianetwork.com with the word REMOVE in the subject line. Because our material is also being urgently sent by many volunteers, in order to delete you from our databases, we will need this actual email to find how you received our prophetic content.

To find out more how the LORD can use you in His magnificent plan, send your name and postal mailing address to us via email, or call our 24/7 voice mail at 541/899/8888, and leave your contact information on the voice mail recording.
