What is TIME? Future Shock, 2012 and Freedom!


Welcome to Thus Says the Prophets!

Time

By John of AllFaith © 9.8.08

This can also be see at my Thus Says the Prophets Website.

Daniel 7:25: And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

According to the prophets the coming Rex Mundi or World Despot will seek to "change time." What does this mean? Its a horrifying prospect, perhaps even more so for we who are now witnessing the end of everything we for so long held to be true and sure!

Time is running out!

Time is changing!

According to the 2012 prophecies time is being so compressed, so compacted that it is losing its meaning. In the early seventies this same process was identified as Future Shock (see the Orson Welles videos on the bottom of this page for more Future Shock).

The reference to three and half times ("a time and times and the dividing of time") here, just to get that part out of the way (I discuss this phrase in much more detail elsewhere), is referring to the final three and a half years of the Rex Mundi's reign. That second three and a half year period, the Great Tribulation, will be "cut short" by the coming of Moshiach.

In this study we're looking at the concept of time itself.

When we think of time we tend to do so in linear terms of past, present and future. We say, "that was in the past," and "live in the present!" Or sometimes, "look to the future." but God, who is eternal, does not hold such a limited view of time. Indeed:

    Bhagavad Gita 2:11: The Blessed One said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead.
    2:12: Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings, nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.
    2:13: As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul also passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.
    (From my translation)

The secret of prophecy is not that the prophet "sees the future" but that God, for Whom all existence is the timeless present, grants the prophet insight into what is, in the future, as in the past and present. God has no such limitations.

By revealing prophecy God is not generally causing these things to happen nor causing this nation to do this or that, rather, the Holy One, Who is beyond time in ways we time-dependent beings can not conceive, knows the choices we will make. He sees our kings and lords and knows their plans before they even craft them! Before they are even born!

How can this be?

With God all things are possible!

But we do have some insight into these things and we can, to some degree, hare in them by the mercy and grace of the Holy One...

According to the Bible, 'the gifts and callings of God are without repentance' and 'what God has said, He will fulfill'. God acts within time even He Himself is not subject to time. Time is God's invention!

The history of the earth, from a biblical perspective, is Paradise lost to Paradise restored. This is the central narrative of the Bible.

In Hebrew time is yome and is from an ancient Hebrew root meaning, "to be hot." God uses time to put heat under the material creation! to prepare us and to create in us worthy offspring of the Divine.

It references day, time, year:

  • day (as opposed to night)
  • day (24 hour period)
  • as defined by evening and morning in Genesis 1
  • as a division of time 1b
  • a working day, a day's journey
  • days, lifetime (pl.)
  • time, period (general)
  • year
  • temporal references
  • today
  • yesterday
  • tomorrow

Time is a container, a method of quantifying the incalculable, eternity and our place within it.

Time is quite a concept!

Time -- By Bobby Sherman (one of my all time favorite songs!)

Time defines out existence within the material realms of being.

God stated that His intention was for the earth to be a paradise in which all creation would live together in harmony. 'What He has proposed, He will accomplish'.

This is the importance of prophecy.

In time we all stand alone.

In transcendence we are One.

Our expulsion from Eden was our casting out from God consciousness into time. This is the meaning of Adam and Eve being clothed with animal skins (Gen 3:23) as I discuss elsewhere. They became mortal, which is to say, time-dependent beings.

This question of "time" is there very important!

Prophecy reveals how the Holy One will fulfill His Will in time.

For us looking forward into future time, the days seem dark and appear to be getting darker still, and yet on the other side of the darkness is the Light, the restored Kingdom, Paradise, Eden, the Theocracy. It is to this Kingdom that we are bound and headed and as "ambassadors of Christ" (the Anointing) it is to this Kingdom alone that are subject. Our service here in this dark material manifestation is as ambassadors of the Light of God.

And the only thing standing between us and the Kingdom of God that will be is Time.

AND Master Y'shua said, if we but have the to eyes to see it, the Kingdom is already in our midst.

It is possible, and advisable, to correct our focus and realize that right now, in this time and in this place, the Kingdom already reigns.

How so?

Because time is cyclical not lineal.

This is the key!

At one point in manifest time, in one circle, there is Eden, there is the Exodus, there is the Mount of Transfiguration, there is Calvary, there is Mother Yasoda binding her child Gopala out of love, there is Tathagata sitting beneath his banyan, there is Nanak uttering his beautiful Sabad before Sri Jagannatha Puri dham ... and that moment, those moments, are in the spiral and hence part of the the fabric of reality.

Likewise we are promised that in "time" the Kingdom will be established. The lion will lay down with the lamb, the child will play in the coils of the asp and not be harmed... and THAT time, THOSE times, are also held securely within the spiral.... are also reality even now.

Howso? Because When the One God speaks His Intention, His Word manifests it. Ek Devata, the Holy One God without a second, has declared these times to be and so, they are because God, "calleth those things which be not as though they were" (Rom 4:17).

Its a pretty deep thought but one well worth entertaining!

ALL the promises, at this moment in time, are yes, are active... and all who are anointed by God can realize and utilize them all at this moment in time, as God will,... even though the physical manifestation of these things is yet in the future by at least seven years.

Indeed, and here's the really cool part of this, this (and other) verse tells us that this "yes and amen" is "unto the glory of God by us."

"Unto the glory of God by us." This is, in part, what I refer to as the work of the "Hinderers." God's Word never returns to Him unfulfilled. AND God's Will is realized or achieved by us! By His servants... until the point comes when we fail, then:

    Matt 24:22:And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Then, at that time, as HaShem the One God will directly intervene in the affairs of the earth and send the Moshiach to rescue the Jews, the Elect, and save Israel.

This will happen in time.

    John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

This is the point: In the ever turning spirals there is only life.

Physical death occurs but only as part of the spiral of life. This spiral is known by many names in different cultures and texts. Watch this rabbinical explanation of the the spiral:

Those who believe will never taste death.

    Believest thou this?

I do.

Now, what has this do with Rex Mundi and the prophecies?

Everything!

What is happening is not just the usurpation of political power. Not just the establishment of global government which could, in theory, even be a good thing, its the utter alteration of time.

Throughout our endless spirals in time we have, to varying degrees and according to diverse means, chosen the Light. When despotic leaders have arise we have overthrown them. When priests have gotten out of control we have raised protestations, we have overthrown their institutions or formed new ones. When they have invoked human and animal sacrifices we have cried foul and caused them to cease. Throughout history hinderers have thwarted the plans of the Evil One.

throughout history as the human race has passed through these times of restoration we have, however imperfectly, sought to correct our course and embrace the Good One as conceived.

But the Rex Mundi is even now changing Time! He is calling "the Yes and Amen" evil and the evil good! And the masses are this time accepting it!

These times are now drawing to an end not because we are becoming pure or creating a New World Order of Light, Love and Truth, but because this TIME, this CYCLE, we are turning against Holy Israel, we are turning against the Good One, we, as a species, are choosing Lucifer over the Holy One.

As dark as portions of our history has been, never before has this been the case.

"The Hinderers" are those who choose the Light from among all religions, beliefs etc.

"The Hinderers" are not a religion. They bend the knee to no priesthood, no doctrine, not established creed. They have no temples, no congregations and yet they may be found in all sorts of temples, congregations, belief systems and so on.

During TIME the generation that witnessed the return of the Jews to their ancient homeland, that being either the generation of 1948 or 1967, will not pass away until all the prophecies find their fulfillment in the coming Great Singularity. That DAY is just a bit more than seven years away.

Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim -- Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem!

The Jews are once again standing
Will you stand with them, this time?
And if it seem evil unto you to serve HaShem,
Choose you this day whom ye will serve...
But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD
(Joshua 24:15)

Future Shock is an illness, a disease in the sense of a dis-ease. It is the dis-ease we feel when we know that something is wrong, something is out of balance (Koyaanisqatsi). But what it is that's fundamentally wrong isn't clear!

We do what we're suppose to do
We believe what we're supposed to believe
And yet... we sense that something is terribly wrong. We know it... we sense it... we just can't identify it! When we speak of it people act as if we just don't understand, and so we go along with the status quo, we don't rock the boat, we try and be "normal," we try to fit in...

And yet at some level we each know that, "To live in an insane world and be considered sane is to be truly insane!"

That wrong "something" is the crushing of Time beneath the rough feet of the Coming Beast and with that crushing our certainty, our faith, our sense of self is destroyed as well. Whereas before in the spirals we stood, now we lay in bed and observe, uncertain of what to do, unable to distinguish right from wrong, darkness from the light in the artificial reality in which, like in the Matrix Movie, have been placed.

Which is the "red pill" and which the "blue?"

And its not happening by chance!

This Future Shock is real:
