Balaamic British Blitzkrieg

God's sovereignty is on display yet again. Remember, His sovereignty not only extends over the words of Holy Writ, but over everything—even the finest details of creation.

Daniel has answered and said, “Let the Name of God be blessed from age even to age, for wisdom and might—for they are His. And He is changing times and seasons, He is causing kings to pass away, and He is raising up kings; He is giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those possessing understanding. He is revealing deep and hidden things; He has known what [is] in darkness, and light has dwelt with Him.” (Dan. 2:20–22, LSV)

He also made every nation of man of one blood, to dwell on all the face of the earth—having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings—to seek the LORD, if perhaps they felt after Him and found, though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us, for in Him we live, and move, and are; as certain of your poets have also said: For we are also His offspring. (Acts 17:26–28, LSV)

I've often brought up the painfully obvious homophone for "trumpets" on display since 2015, "Trump-Pence." Ever since they announced their candidacy for office (ironically in the last Shmita year), their names have been, quite frankly, trumpeted all around the world. The trump/trumpet/trumpets are all very central to the commencement and completion of end-times prophecy, especially the pre-tribulational resurrection and rapture of the Church (1 Thess. 4:16–18; 1 Cor. 15:51–52; Rev. 4:1–2), the judgments leading up to the Great Tribulation (Rev. 8:1–11:19), and the resurrection and post-trib gathering of Old Testament and Tribulation Saints (Mt. 24:31; cf. Dan. 12:1–2, 13; Rev. 20:4).

I, among others, have also routinely mentioned that Trump was born on the day of a blood moon (lunar eclipse), 700 days before the rebirth of Israel, was 777 days old when Israel was 77 days old, and was exactly 70 years, 7 months, and 7 days old at his inauguration in 2017. For some, even mentioning these verifiable facts is bothersome: "That's just numerology and much ado about nothing."

Here's my response: God invented math. He also invented probabilities. He has also plainly stated in His word that He is completely sovereign over all of creation, even the finest details. These frequent, yet extremely improbable mathematical alignments testify to His sovereignty. They testify that the universe isn't random, coincidental, or chaotic, but rather perfectly structured and ordered. His fingerprints are on display for all to see. Moreover, the Bible itself is highly numerological and typological (just take Revelation for example: 7 stars, 7 lampstands, 7 eyes, 7 horns, 7 torches, 7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 bowls, 7 heads, 7 crowns, 7 years; 24 elders, 144,000 sealed Israelites, 12 foundations, 12 gates, 12,000 stadia; so on and so forth).

We frequently refer to extra-biblical numerological and typological evidence for God's word and plan as "Balaamic Prophecy." Balaam was a prophet opposed to God's people, yet who prophesied in accordance with God's will. He's thrice condemned in the New Testament (2 Pt. 2:15–16; Jd. 1:11; Rev. 2:14), yet God still spoke through him. Likewise Caiaphas in John's gospel account, an enemy of Christ, testified to Him (Jn. 11:49–53). But it's not just enemies of God who on occasion inadvertently speak God's truth—as the Scriptures say, even the rocks cry out. Inanimate things confirm God's prophetic plan as well.

This is no better seen than in the brief 4th-century reign of the Roman emperor Flavius Claudius Julianus, called by Christian historians "Julian the Apostate," for his progenitor Constantine I, the first emperor in the Constantinian dynasty, was the first Christian emperor and the one who legalized Christianity throughout the empire via the Edict of Milan. But Julian abandoned the Christian faith of his family's dynasty, becoming the last non-Christian Roman emperor. He set out to repress Christianity and reinvigorate non-Christian religions, including, ironically enough, Judaism.

In 363 AD he ordered the complete reconstruction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Imagine this: the supreme Roman emperor himself orders the Temple rebuilt with the full authority and backing of Rome. Yet the God-ordained destruction of the Temple in 70 AD would not be so quickly undone. What happened? The emperor's personal friend Ammianus Marcellinus recorded the answer:

Julian thought to rebuild at an extravagant expense the proud Temple once at Jerusalem, and committed this task to Alypius of Antioch. Alypius set vigorously to work, and was seconded by the governor of the province; when fearful balls of fire, breaking out near the foundations, continued their attacks, till the workmen, after repeated scorchings, could approach no more: and he gave up the attempt.

Secular historians have noted that a pair of massive earthquakes struck Galilee on May 18th and 19th of 363 AD, thought to be responsible, along with the fireballs, for the abrupt end of Julian's plans. Julian died just one month after his fateful (and unsuccessful) attempt to rebuild what God had ordained to be torn down.

We further see the proverbial rocks crying out in our own day with blood moons on biblical festival days, the Revelation 12 Sign, and even God's Name mysteriously written on the side of the Temple Mount (source). In 2017 the entire nativity story played out in real time.

Balaamic prophecy is resurfacing in a major way yet again, this time with hurricane-level proportions. I'm coining this the "Balaamic British Blitzkrieg."

Yesterday Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the age of 96. She reigned for 70 years, the longest-reigning British monarch in history and the longest reign ever recorded for a female head of state. By some accounts she was the second-longest reigning monarch, male or female, in recorded world history. As head of the Commonwealth, she represented some 2.4 billion people, or approximately one-third of the world's population. And her reign oversaw the end of colonialism and the final dissolution of the British Empire.

In many ways she represented the end of an era and the transition to what's to come. Like the woman of Revelation 12, she too bore a crown with 12 of something—12 rubies to be exact. Her reign of 70 years hearkens us back to Psalm 90:10: "seventy or if by strength 80." She became Queen, ascending the throne in the first Shmita year observed in the modern state of Israel (1952). She died mere weeks before the end of the current Shmita year. She reigned for 10 Shmita cycles.

But while many focus on the significance of the Queen's passing and all the prophetic types and shadows, Charles, the new King, carries even more.

1. The name Charles/Karl/Carlos and the like are all ultimately derived from a verb meaning "to grow old" and stem from Greek γέρων (Strong's 1088), "an aged/old man"—i.e., an elder, a very close synonym of presbuteros, the word used for "elder" in Revelation 4–5 representing the newly raptured and glorified Church. It's used once in Scripture (Jn. 3:4) where Nicodemus asks Jesus how a man can be born again when he is old.

 

2. Charles' middle name is Philip: Philip was raptured away from the Ethiopian eunuch (harpazo in Acts 8:39), being transported in the Spirit to Ashdod.

3. Last name George: it was George that slew the dragon (cf. Rom. 16:20, Rev. 12:7–10).

4. At his coronation he will be given a scepter, a golden crown, a stone (the golden orb), collectively called the "Crown Jewels." He'll also be given the throne and white garments, first the Anointing Gown, a plain white garment worn while he is anointed, and secondarily the Shroud Tunic, a white undergarment of fine linen.

Compare these to what the Church is promised in Revelation 2–3 and then given in chapters 4 and 12: a scepter (Rev. 12:5; cf. Rev. 2:26–27), crowns (Rev. 4:4; cf. Rev. 2:10; 3:11), thrones (Rev. 4:4; cf. Rev. 3:21; 20:4), and white garments (Rev. 4:4; cf. Rev. 3:5, 18). The Church is also promised stones (Rev. 2:17).

So putting these meanings together:

The man, the elder, raptured, defeating the dragon, shall ascend the throne, take the golden crown, the scepter, the promised stone, and the white garments, and he shall reign.

Miraculously, at the very moment Queen Elizabeth II was pronounced deceased a double rainbow appeared over Buckingham Palace. At that very moment Charles became the technical King.

The first thing John sees after he arrives in Heaven, even before seeing the 24 elders, is God on His throne encircled by a rainbow (Rev. 4:3).

Note: in the foreground you can see Winged Victory ("Victoria" and named after Queen Victoria), a golden angel statue near the palace. Victory ("overcoming") is mentioned seven times in Revelation 2–3 and the Church is promised victor's wreathes/garlands (stephanos) in these passages. The elders are seen wearing stephanos in Revelation 4. Victoria is the Roman equivalent to the Greek Nike, and Nike is derived from the exact verb used for "overcoming" in Revelation 2–3 (nikao).

Also in the foreground (to the left) is one of four bronze statues at each corner around Winged Victory. Each of the four statues includes a lion. Revelation 4 portrays four living creatures around God's throne, one of which has the face of a lion (Rev. 4:6–7); Jesus Himself shows up as a Lamb, but is also called the Lion of Judah in the Throne Room Scene (Rev. 5:5).

One of the four statues under yesterday's double rainbow is called Progress. It features a man literally wearing a stephanos (same word as in Revelation 4:4) and carrying a scepter-like torch (cf. Rev. 4:5; 12:5).

An aside: Queen Elizabeth expressed her faith in Jesus frequently and over decades. She also, unlike many in her own family, largely kept away from politics. She was married to the same man for 70 years. Rather than oversee the strengthening of British colonialism, she actually oversaw decolonization. She was certainly a sinner as we all are, but I find the sea of comments from purported "Christians" on Facebook and Twitter that "Yay! The evil queen is dead!" to be abhorrent and anti-Christ. We are commanded to honor and pray for our leaders that God Himself established—even if those leaders are against Him and even if they persecute us (see 1 Peter 2:11–25). Peter exhorted Christians to even submit to, respect, and honor Nero, one of the most wicked Roman emperors ever who literally lit Christians on fire. That type of humility is altogether lacking in the nationalistic and political Christianity of 2022.

Jude also exhorted believers not even to slander Satan (Jd. 1:9). Imagine that! God will do the avenging. As believers we must always obey God over man, but part of obeying God is submitting to unjust rulers in power over us. If their law is that those who refuse to recant Christ must perish, then so we must perish. And the message to Tribulation Saints isn't "fight the beast," but rather "submit to your ordained death at his hands" (Rev. 13:10; context: Rev. 13:7–10). Remember: God will do the avenging.

Now while Queen Elizabeth maintained the title "Defender of the Faith," Charles has stated his intention to change his to "Defender of the Faiths." He has been a stalwart proponent of great wickedness and anti-Christian social transition. In the 1990s he was considered a prime candidate for the Antichrist. Many still think he is. I for one don't really have a dog in this fight and respect what God, through Paul, states in 2 Thessalonians 2: the man of lawlessness will not be revealed until the departure occurs/restrainer is removed. He is likely on the scene now, but his time is not yet.

King Charles is 73—very much a fig tree type (see Ps. 90:10). He was born six months to the day after the reestablishment of Israel. He has become the King in a Shmita year just as his mother became Queen in a Shmita year. He has called for the world to come together on a warlike footing to rapidly bring about global transformation via the Great Reset. And his first full day in office, 9/9/2022, is an intriguing hat tip to the number of the beast, 666: two upside down sixes and 2+0+2+2 = 6.

May the LORD come quickly.
