Will Elijah & Elisha Purge Washington of Corruption?
Content Management System
In Old Testament time, Elijah was part of a movement to purge the two governments of Israel and Judea. Over 1,000 leaders were dead by the time the purge ended.
In Malachi, we read that an end-time ministry of Elijah's would repeat just before the return of Jesus Christ. We are told that a ministry of an end-time Elijah would be necessary in order to save the nation. If our end-time Elijah were to fail, God would give up on the United States and destroy it.
Are we to understand that an end-time Elijah and an end-time Elisha will clean up Washington DC in order to prevent God from destroying the United States?
It is true that corruption is out of control at this time in American history. And, leaders are not taking serious action to control either corruption or themselves. On the contrary, they are avoiding serious action. They like things just as they are.
Can we seriously believe in an end-time Elijah?
Everything in this article is a prediction. But, this article contains successful predictions that are based on in-depth Bible study.
For example, in 1991 this same study successfully predicted the election of an unknown candidate named Bill Clinton to the presidency in 1993. At the same time it predicted the future position of his wife, Hillary Clinton, in the White House. She need not be president.
That was 16 years ago. Those successful predictions demonstrate the accuracy of this particular Bible study. This same study has also revealed a coming purge of hundreds of government leaders in the US and the death of the British prime minister. The purge would end in 2015 or 2016.
This Bible study compares our contemporary world to the ancient world. It assumes that history repeats itself. As a matter of fact, it predicts that history will repeat itself almost exactly. The United States and Britain are about to repeat history.
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. G. Santayana, philosopher
This Bible study draws a parallel between the Government of the United States and the government of ancient Israel, which had its capital in Samaria. We would say that Samaria became Washington DC. At the same time this study draws a parallel between the Government of Britain and the government of Judea, which had its capital in Jerusalem. We would say that Jerusalem became London.
There was a time span of 22 years during which wicked King Ahab ruled Israel. If dates by historians were dependable, we would correspond that span of time with 1989 to 2012. Jezebel, the treacherous wife of Ahab, reined for a few years after Ahab died. [Since God would shorten time in the end time, we might figure the end of end-time Jezebel to be 2015 or 2016.]
INSET-At this point, I hate to confuse the reader with technicalities. If you are a casual reader, just skip over this inset. Ahab's reign corresponds to two overlapping presidential reigns. One reign is the Bush family reign, which was from 1989 to 2008. The other reign is the Clinton/Hillary reign, which will have been from 1993 to 2012. Hillary would continue past 2012, because Jezebel continued to reign after Ahab died.
Timelines indicate that God activated Elijah 3 years into the reign of Ahab. That corresponds to 1991. So, the end-time ministry of Elijah would be a 22-year span from 1991 to 2012. End-time Elijah is one of God's Two Witnesses. So, the ministry of God's Two Witnesses would normally have been from 1991 to 2012. However, they would continue after 2012 because Elijah would complete his ministry through the Two Witnesses. (When God took Elijah to Heaven, it was to metaphorically illustrate that the ministry of Elijah was postponed until the end of time. In the end of time, Elijah would return from Heaven in order to continue his ministry.)
After the ministry of Elijah, God continued to destroy the dynasty of Ahab and Jezebel through the ministry of Elisha. The end-time ministries of both Elijah and Elisha would deal with corrupt leaders in the governments of the United States and Britain.
The sons of Ahab ruled for several years after the death of Ahab. In other words, corrupt presidents would continue after 2012. (We need to give some leeway for dates because historians give different dates for Ahab and his sons.) The end of Jezebel and her evil sons could correspond to a military coup in 2015 or 2016.
Read your Bible to ascertain upcoming events through comparison. Queen Jezebel continued Ahab's dynasty after Ahab died in battle. But, she was not a monarch because Ahab's sons reigned as kings. You can read in the second Book of Kings about the end of Ahab's family dynasty and how God used an army commander named Jehu to restore a pro-God government.
There could be more than one US Army General who shares identifying characteristics with General Jehu. Two possibilities could be General Colin Powell and General David Petraeus because they were in war, Queen Elizabeth knighted them, they are pro-God and either of them would jump at a chance to become a president of the United States, even if the position were not achieved through the normal election process.
Sometime in 2015 or a following year, two US Army Generals could intervene in Washington DC in order to save the US Government. The assent of end-time Jehu would not be by normal election procedure, and it would be called a military coup in our time. The correct identity of end-time Jehu, along with the year of their coup, will become clearer as the event draws near.] -INSET END
Why did I choose the year 2012 as a transitional year? That would be the year that Jesus Christ would begin to save the Government of the United States by eliminating presidents that were too corrupt. The year 2012 was provided by prophecy timelines that were encoded into the Washington Monument and our National Seal by America's Christian Forefathers. Those timelines give the dates of end-time events affecting the governments of the United States and Britain.
In the 22 years that lead up to 2012 AD, government decisions and policies are comparable to those decisions and policies of wicked King Ahab and his treacherous wife Jezebel.
British Prime ministers are compared to righteous King Jehoshaphat. This is a very favorable comparison. Jehoshaphat had only one vice that God was angry about; Jehoshaphat associated with Ahab and Jezebel. In the end-time, we would say that Prime Ministers John Majors and Tony Blair had only one fault that angered God. They associated with American presidents.
God cursed almost everything that Ahab and Jezebel did. Jehoshaphat could only lose by joining Jews to Israelites. Today, we would say that British prime ministers could only lose by involving their nation with the ventures of American presidents.
As of 2007, Great Britain has had righteous leadership in the eyes of God. But, British leadership will change. That change is not acceptable to God. And, He is going to do something drastic about it [probably in 2015 or 2016].
History of the Masonic Calendar
If we were to seriously compare Old Testament Israel to the United States, we would conclude that there is now a curse on the nation's leadership.
The Forefather's Prophecy Calendar identifies the year 2012 as the time of the end of Elijah's work. Elijah's work was mainly about the purging of corrupt Ahab. So, Elijah's 22-year ministry ran parallel to the 22-year reign of Ahab. In order words, we would expect end-time Ahab and his evil sons to die sometime between 2012 and 2015 AD. [We use some leeway with dates because historians give different dates.]
The span of years of the curse on the White House and 10 Downing Street is understood with the aid of a divine calendar of events that God had created before He created the Earth. In my opinion, the history of this astonishing timeline is the history of Freemasonry.
Enoch discovered this magical calendar of events. Enoch might have been the first Freemason, other than God Himself. Enoch drew the timeline onto paper as an architectural drawing. Like Elijah, Moses, Daniel and John, Enoch has an end-time ministry in the bodies of the Two Witnesses of God.
Bible students have long debated about the identities of God's Two Witnesses. Some say that one is Enoch. Some say that one is Moses. Some say that one is Elijah. And they could also be Daniel and John because those two prophets were told that they would prophecy again in the end time.
The truth is that all these people reappear in the bodies of God's Two Witnesses. You might ask why Enoch, of all people, would reappear in the bodies of God's Two Witnesses. It is Enoch's magical timeline of end-time events that reappears with God's Two Witnesses.
This ancient drawing is being used by God's Two Witnesses to understand end-time prophecy. With the aid of Enoch's timeline, they are able to write books that unseal prophecy and provide dates of end-time events for Christian readers.
Although Enoch was the one to put the divine calendar onto paper as an architectural drawing, others used the drawing to build monuments. The Great Pyramid was the first Freemason monument to God that we know of. Job could have been a genius who used Enoch's drawing to understand the Great Pyramid. The way that God spoke to Job indicates that Job was an architectural genius. The actual construction of the Great Pyramid might have been done by yet another genius at a prior time.
Regardless, the divine calendar was encoded into the Great Pyramid. That is why the Pyramid has prophetic abilities. One might think that the Great Pyramid is just a pile of rocks. Some experts say that it is amazing that ancient man was intelligent enough to make a pile of rocks. The truth is that the Great Pyramid is by far mankind's greatest achievement. It required far more genius than the trip to the moon required.
Mankind might be a thousand years away from developing a computer that could tell the future in the way that the Great Pyramid has for 5,000 years. For example, it is amazing that the creator of the Great Pyramid knew that an American president (who turned out to be President George Bush II) would sign papers to begin the War on Terrorism on exactly September 17, 2001. That date had mystified Egyptologists for two centuries.
Another way of stating this phenomenon is that today's most powerful computers cannot match the computing ability of a pile of rocks that was assembled 5,000 years ago.
We never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born. -Einstein
The craftsmen who created the Tabernacle of God used the same architectural drawing that was used to construct the Great Pyramid. Moses was given divine understanding with which to supervise construction of God's Tabernacle. This is why it is said that Moses is one of God's Two Witnesses. In a sense, the Two Witnesses of God are building the last Tabernacle of God, which is spiritual in nature and is composed of Christians (Book of Zechariah).
The latest architectural use of the divine calendar was the Washington Monument. Because the divine calendar was used, the monument also has prophetic abilities to complement those of the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle of God.
It is this particular monument that speaks about the purge that is about to come upon the US Government and the British Government. This makes sense because Masonic Forefathers were concerned about America's future, about presidents and about leaders of Western nations who would be in office as events of the end time transpired.
We can thank God that He is content to purge Western governments of corrupt leaders rather than destroy our beloved nation and other representative governments of the world.
Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days. (Mark 13:20)
The divine calendar clearly shows a compressing of time in the years that lead up to 2022, the Day of Judgment. Years are reduced to fractions. This shortening of time is good because we do not want God to be too angry with our leaders for too long. Innocent citizens could get hurt as collateral damage.
God rules Christian Israel
America's Christian Forefathers were dead serious about the United States Government being under God.
After God threw ancient Israelites out of His sight and disowned Jerusalem, He began the creation of a new nation of Israel that would be spiritual in nature.
The LORD had said: I will put Judah out of my sight as I put Israel out of my sight. I will reject Jerusalem, the city that I chose, and I will reject the temple where I said my name would be. (2 Kings 23:27)
God created Christian Europe in combination with the Christian United States as His new spiritual Nation of Israel. The United States is New Testament Israel. Washington DC is a New Testament Jerusalem. Elijah is a prophet of and to New Testament Israel, and he will purge Israel's government as he did before.
In a sense, the White House and 10 Downing Street are Christ's dwelling places. So, He would not put up with corruption for long. He would clean the house when necessary. If this Bible study has accurately interpreted prophecy, a purge is coming very soon and many leaders of today will not be leaders of tomorrow.
Your leaders were not my choices
A citizen might think that leaders are chosen in a fair process. Nowadays, nothing could be further from the truth. Campaigns are firmly in the control of corporate donors.
As a result of this situation, corporations put corrupt puppets into the White House and into Congress. Federal judges and Supreme Court judges are selected because they will be activist puppets.
They have set up kings [presidents], but not ones who would agree with me: they have made princes [senators & representatives] who did not know me [infidels]: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off [they took lobby money so that they would not have to answer to voters]. (Hosea 8:4) [my inserts]
So, the truth is that neither God nor man puts our government leaders in power. As a result, power is exercised in darkness and citizens are cheated at every turn. A corrupt system has developed that needs a radical correction. An end-time Elijah needs to initiate that change.
And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down. (2 Kings 21:13)
The term wipeout pertains to the year 2015 or 2016 because many leaders could indeed be wiped out by the end of that year.
There might not be fire from Heaven like there was in the time of the first Elijah. Then again, terrorist attacks could be involved. Terrorists certainly have brought fire out of heaven, as was the case with 9-11.
Perhaps leaders will topple other leaders until only the good ones remain. That would be a naïve hope.
The social/political environment of Old Testament Israel verged on civil war. So, America could be near all-out civil war. A bad economy would provoke social unrest. We do see frightening signs of drought and diseases. Respected economists are warning of another Great Depression. Violent confrontations between left and right activists could trigger civil war.
Poetic Justice
How would corrupt leaders be purged? It is apparent from reading the Bible that God likes corrupt people to get poetic justice.
That means that corrupt leaders would meet their fates in the same manner they harmed others. For example, a president who had secretly arranged the downfall of an innocent person would fall in the same manner.
I do not want to graphically describe the upcoming situation so I use the term downfall. If you want more graphic descriptions of conditions, read the Books of Kings.
God to choose two US military generals
What is on the other side of the purge? By the end of 2016, or a year soon thereafter, God will have put an abrupt end to the end-time dynasty of Ahab and Jezebel.
The year 2012 marks the time that God will have begun to save the Government of the United States by taking direct action to eliminate corrupt presidents. That direct action would reverse 66.6 years of corruption and error on the part of presidents, congressmen and judges.
When we compare the record of Old Testament Israel to the record of New Testament Israel, we see that the United States has not had an acceptable president since Franklin Roosevelt in 1945. God intends to place a new Franklin Roosevelt into the presidency.
It could be that we may need another Franklin Roosevelt because the nation will be in exactly the same economic, political and social situation that it was in during the Great depression and World War II. We are indeed moving toward WWIII (Armageddon) as nuclear weapons proliferate while aggressive regimes threaten world peace.
The two US military generals that God chooses would carry the same burdens that were carried by President Franklin Roosevelt.
[Update 3-11-2010: Colin Powell and David Petraeus could be two US generals to assume control in Washington DC in order to save the US Government. The power of these generals would not be assumed through the normal election process. The reason that God would choose military generals could be to take His people through violent domestic situations at the same time they go through the Battle of Armageddon.
Either General David Petraeus and General Colin Powell could be the general that God chooses to become President in 2015 or 2016, because they both have specific characteristics that match General Jehu who was anointed by God to become King of Old Testament Israel.]
There is another huge reason that God would choose Colin Powell to be president or vice president. But, there is not enough room in this article to explain it.
Suffice it to say that God has been preparing BLACK Americans for positions of leadership. I say prepared because everything in Powell's life has been part of his training for the presidency or vice presidency.
Powell was predestined to be a general. He was predestined to have an endearing public persona. He stands out from corrupt leaders because he is a genuinely decent person.
When Queen Elizabeth knighted both Petraeus and Powell, she might not have realized the profound significance of her action. It was providential. She gave General Petraeus and General Powell some powers over the British Government. The Queen could call on Sir Powell or Sir Petraeus to do her will in Britain. The next ruler of Britain could do the same.
Lawyers might explain the legal dynamics involved. There are Biblical laws to take into consideration. God arranged the knighting of both Petraeus and Powell because He intends to clean house in 10 Downing Street at the same time He cleans house in Washington DC [probably in 2015 or soon thereafter].
The knighting of Sir David Petraeus and Sir Colin Powell was a legal maneuver on God's part in order to give Petraeus and Powell authority and power to do the Queen's will if she requests it. It could also have been a precautionary move on the part of Queen Elizabeth because, ultimately, she must defend the British Government from enemies that are both foreign and domestic.
Powell, a New Deal Republican
Assuming that the particular general whom God will have chosen to lead the upcoming coup, he has a daunting domestic agenda. A human could not accomplish it alone. But, God is firmly behind Powell and he cannot fail unless he purposely slacks off. I do not think he is a slacker.
Powell's agenda is essentially to undo all the wrong that was done by previous presidents for 66.6 years (April 1945-November 2012). The number 666 is not just a coincidence. It is a sign to us that leaders during this 66.6-year span have been men who have followed the ways of the Beast and preyed upon citizens.
God intends to replace those who follow the ways of the Beast with men who follow God and have a pro-citizen agenda. The following are part of Powell's agenda as I see it.
[Update Aug-28-2009: Between FDR death, April-12-1946 and election, Nov-6-2012, are 66 years, 6 months and 6 days. 24314 days or 66.6 years]
Powell must prevent future presidents from committing American troops to endless and winless wars such as the one fought in Korea in the 40s.
Powell must control the Military Industrial Complex that came to power in the 50s.
Powell must check the tyrannical inclination of egotistical presidents. Arrogant presidents must not prevent generals from winning wars, such as the Vietnamese War.
Powell must carefully supervise social programs such as those that had begun in the 60s; if he doesn't make them efficient, fair and foolproof, taxpayers will resent them.
Powell must restore freedom of speech to ministers. President Johnson who wrote IRS laws that are clearly unconstitutional purposely nullified their freedom of speech in the 60s. There is no place in the United States that an American citizen, including a minister, cannot talk about politics. He can talk about politics regardless of the building he is in, be it a church or a government building.
Powell must insure that presidents cannot abuse their power and perform criminal acts such as spying on political opponents.
Powell must bring corporations back under policing of government agencies. Unbridled and shameless greed among corporate leaders has resulted in outsourced jobs and lower wages. To add to the miserable economic situation of American employees, energy corporations have pillaged American consumers at every opportunity. Regulations and government oversight were hard won accomplishments during the leadership of giants like Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt.
Powell must end the disinterest and elitism that is characteristic of aristocratic presidents from privileged families.
Powell must end campaign corruption by completely outlawing the lobby industry. It has turned the entire government into a whorehouse where politicians do tricks for corporations. And every trick hurts American citizens.
Genuine campaign reforms must end ALL political donations. Campaigns must be restricted to government operated TV, radio and Internet sites.
Genuine tax reform must be enacted so that corrupt and out-of-control officials and their employees no longer victimize citizens. A sales tax would save citizens from property loss, exploitation and suicides. A flat tax would be a poor second alternative because citizens could still have their property taken away on bogus grounds. Property could still be taken away through the use of outrageous compounded interest and penalties. Victims would still be driven to suicide.
Future presidents must be expelled from office for immoral acts that reveal a base and predatory character.
Authority and power must return to citizens. The imperial presidency must end forever.
Presidents should not have the authority to wage ongoing wars, such as the Iraqi War, without declarations of war by Congress and the vote of the public.
Presidents must be forbidden to act in secrecy to create economic empires such as the one that is now being created between Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Presidents must not be allowed to keep the borders of the United States open for the mass invasion of illegal laborers. This has been done at the behest of employers in the industrial and farming sectors. Illegal laborers take American jobs, undermine wages, overflow charities, drain social services and create impoverished environments where crime and social problems are cancers on society. Employers encourage illegal labor for the precise purpose of creating a slave labor class that can be exploited and abused with impunity. Such employers need to be imprisoned.
Presidents must not be allowed to use tax money to finance the movement of American jobs to foreign nations. Presidents must keep jobs in America so that American workers have jobs.
Presidential candidates and acting presidents must be required to take urine and drug tests because drugs can cause dangerous mental and emotional problems. Citizens must be protected from presidents, congressmen and judges with drug-related mental and emotional problems that compel them to assume and exert dictatorial powers.
Trickle down corruption
At this point, we see that this article has returned to the subject that it began with, which is the purging of government by God through an end-time Elijah. We see why a purge would be most welcome and necessary in order to save the nation from self-destruction.
We can understand why God must start at the top of society and purge it of corrupt leaders. It is understood by the phrase, trickle down. After corrupt leaders are eliminated, there will be no more corruption to trickle down.
If you do not like the concept, blame it on one of our presidents. He used the phrase trickle down economics. The phrase is very elitist and reveals the condescending relationship between presidents and citizens.
I hope I have made the end-time work of Elijah more real and logical for you. I hope that you see the need for a purge. I hope that you remember this article when the turnover of leaders seems abnormally high in the years ahead.
Did God Pronounce a Curse on the White House For 2012?
