The Timeline - IV

That which we call time is a helix structure of the motion of going through different experiences of different manifestations of cycles.

These different cycles are like subjects in YHWH's storybook for man, subjects which appear in the storyline in different forms yet which embody the same kind of characteristics and dynamics as the cycle to which they belong.

These subjects are set to appear in cyclic form, meaning that in the physical realm they appear in the form of slices throughout 'history'.

History is nothing other than our sequential order of experiences of moving through different manifestations of cycles.

All of the cycles move in dualistic dynamics, and their different manifestations, the 'slices', are connected to form a helix shape if we were to visualize this process.

Sequential means that as one particular concept is 'broken up' in different layers, like different camera positions registering one concept, we move through these different layers one after another.
It is like traveling through a helix which is the embodiment of different layers of one concept strung together.

Our concept of a timeline is nothing other than a picture showing us the experience of the total combination of ALL cycles as they are connected in a web-like structure.

Because we experience one timeline as the embodiment of all the different cycles and sub-cycles combined into one picture, it may seem as if  sometimes we can see 'gaps' between the end of the period of one 'slice' or 'period' of a cycle, and the beginning of the next period, which is the next manifestation of a slice of the cycle.
However, the perceived 'gap' is not present within the manifestation of the cycle.

It merely exists in our experience because of the fact that we move sequentially through the COMBINATION of different cycles which are INTERDEPENDENT on each other's dynamics. 

The gap is caused by the side-effect where the beginning of the next period of cycle B has to 'wait for' the activation of a certain trigger point in cycle A.

It is as if in cycle B a pause button is pushed, and cycle B has to 'wait for' cycle A to reach a certain point where its dynamics act like a trigger point which pushes the 'Play'-button in cycle B so that it resumes its course.

Even natural cycles which seem to behave with undisturbed regularity can be put in 'Pause'-mode, or even 'Rewind'-mode.

Take for example the cycle of the day.

A day has such a strong regularity that we can fine-tune our clocks to its cyclic motion.

Yet at one time Joshua commanded the Earth's rotation to stop, and the cycle of the day was put in 'Pause'-mode, only to resume its course after the cycle of Israel's fight had run its course.

At one time king Hezekiah was ill to the point of dying, and he prayed that he would be given more time.

So, Isaiah was sent to the court of Hezekiah, and he informed the king that YHWH had granted his prayer.

YHWH would give Hezekiah a sign in the form of a reversal of the Earth's rotation for a couple of hours, after which the Earth we resume its regular cycle.

This is an example where the cycle of a day was reversed and seemed to play back part of its cycle which Israel had already experienced previously in their experience of a linear timeline.

To their experience the day seemed to have lengthened itself, but in reality the day as part of the cycle of the day had neither lengthened or shortened, but instead it simply had gone back to a previous point on the perimeter of the circle describing the cycle of a day, and started 'playing again' from that point onwards.

In the example of my illustration of Cycle A and Cycle B, our sequential motion through time, -which is our motion through the experiences of different manifestations of the cycles, travels through cycle B until we reach the arrow, and we shift through cycle A until a certain point of the second arrow is reached, and we move again through a new slice of the cycle B.

This is what causes us to experience a linear timeline, but which in reality is a motion through different interconnected cycles and which produces the appearance of 'gaps' between different manifestations of a particular cycle.

This concept of what time really is becomes important in trying to understand prophecy, because prophecy looks through the Heavenly lens of what time is: a motion through cycles and subjects in YHWH's story.

As such prophecy refers to CONCEPTS and SUBJECTS which manifest in different slices of different cycles and their dualistic motion, and thereby it is not restricted to single manifestations of what we interpret as a timeline.

That is the reason why prophecy sometimes seems to make incredible leaps in our concept of a linear timeline: the prophecy refers to certain subjects in YHWH's storybook and how they are related and connected to each other, and our linear experience of a timeline is not relevant.

The prophecy does not jump across time, it lights up certain 'items' in our sequentially ordered catalogue of events, and from our perspective it looks AS IF prophecy jumps to and fro on a horizontal timeline.

Take for instance the cycle of the Shabbat.

It is an ongoing recurring cycle which is a sub-cycle of the cycle we refer to as the 'week'.

Before a Shabbat can begin, we first need to move through the dynamics of six preceding cycles or 'slices' of a day-cycle.
So, in our linear experience of the motion through cycles which we refer to as 'time', after each Shabbat we experience a 'gap' between the Shabbat 'slice' we just experienced, and the next Shabbat 'slice'.

In the Shabbat-cycle there is not a gap, but in our experience it seems to be put in 'Pause-mode' for six days until the dynamics are in order for the next Shabbat-'slice' to commence.

Prophecy works the same way.

Instead of measuring prophecy against our experience of a linear sequentially ordered timeline, we should see it as a collection of messages and visions relating to cycles.

As such, we CANNOT automatically lay out a prophecy against a linear experience of timeline, nor can we confine all prophecies to an isolated incidence in our concept of a timeline.

To do so is to miss the meaning of the prophecy and how it relates to different manifestations of the subject it refers to across the concept of the timeline by means of which we create our catalogue of events.

The 'harlot' in the book of Revelation refers not just to one single empire or collective of nations in the end time, it refers to a SUBJECT or CONCEPT which manifests in different cycles in different manifestations in varying intensities across 'the timeline', all the way back into antiquity.

The 'end times' is not a concept which is activated the day the 'great tribulation' begins.

It manifests itself in different incarnations in the timeline, and the disciples and apostles and 'early believers' were already living in a particular 'slice' of the cycle of the end times.

The problem is that we tend to observe the coming and going of one particular manifestation of a cycle, and the moment it has gone we think the cycle has finished and will not return.

Any prophecy pertaining to that slice of the cycle which we observed is labeled as 'fulfilled' and can be put in the 'archive'.

But that is not the characteristic of a cycle, since a cycle is an ongoing phenomenon manifesting in different circumstances and in different incarnations, yet embodying the same principles.

It all comes down to one thing: in our experience time looks like a long horizontal line, but seen from the perspective of Heaven it is a helix shaped motion, a circular movement through different experiences of many interconnected and interdependent cycles.

The 'latter days' or the 'end times' is a name for a concept manifesting in a cyclic movement, and because we tend to think of the latter days as it relates to our sequential concept of a day, we may find it hard to imagine how the apostles could possible live in the 'latter days',  or the 'end times'.

We see the apostles as men living almost 2000 years ago, so they cannot possibly have lived in the end times, could they?

But, our concept of '2000 years ago' is the result of our linear structure of sequentially ordered experiences of moving through different and interconnected cycles.

If we want to get a clear picture of what time is, we have to learn to look at it as a motion through cycles, and as such the cycle should be our focus, not the measuring tape of a timeline since it is the result of our sequential mode of processing.

The apostles and disciples as well as the 'early believers' lived in a particular 'slice' or manifestation of the cycle of the latter days, complete with bloody persecution and malignant anti-christs persecuting them.

Instead of placing the apostles on a linear timeline, try imagining them as being part of a cycle, in this case the cycle of the 'latter days'.

They were experiencing 'slice A' of this cycle, whereas WE experience 'slice X'.

Both of us are part of experiencing the same cycle, yet we experience them from different perspectives as we move through different 'slices' of the 'mother-cycle'.

The prophecy of Daniel's seventy weeks (or 'sevens') of years also is a nice illustration of how YHWH's story is organized by subject, and not by their place in a linear timeline.

The seventy weeks describe the cycle (or 'subject') of 'finishing the transgression, putting an end to Sin, atoning for iniquity, bringing in everlasting righteousness, sealing both vision and prophet and anointing a most holy place'.

This entire process in YHWH's storyline consists of seventy 'sevens' of years.

When we extrapolate this data into the time-based domain, we see a 'gap' in the seventy weeks of approximately 2000 years, and it forces us to either accept the fact that the prophecy is not correct, OR that our linear time-based understanding of the prophecy is incorrect.

The 'gap' exists only because we approach the prophecy from a linear time-based perspective.

It is an illusion, a distortion created by looking through the lens of a time-based perspective.

Even though the prophecy speaks of weeks of 'years', it cannot be assessed in terms of one linear progression along the time-line.

Yes, the years ARE cycles references to the CYCLE of a year, but the prophecy uses these elements within the context of the storyline of YHWH, which details a seventy week duration for the prophecy to come to pass.

Daniel's seventy weeks are not one uninterrupted period of 490 years, as we should know by now.

If there is one example presenting us with clear evidence the we measure prophecy against our experience of a horizontal timeline and create timeline charts based on our Gregorian calendar, this is it.

There seems to be a 'gap' between the 69th and the 70th week, yet this gap is the effect created by living in the Flesh whereby we experience the motion through cycles as a linear timeline.

In the cycle of the seventy weeks there is NO gap, because the cycle describes exactly the seventy sevens as it is supposed to, but in its interplay with other cycles the impression is created as IF there is a gap.

Yet this only is the case because we, as creatures of the Flesh, also are part of other cycles and their motions, and this combination of cyclic motion of different cycles produces in us a sensation of an unfolding timeline in which we try to fit the 'seventy sevens' prophecy.

In the manifestations of the cycle of the 70 weeks the 'Pause'-button is activated in our experience after week 69, and once the dynamics of the other cycles is right, then the 'Play'-button will be activated and the 70th week will 'play out'.

You may notice that the description of the prophecy of the 70 sevens refers to the 'cutting off of the anointed One' after 69 sevens.

This explicit reference to Yahshua is a link to the cycle of His Redemption, and the dynamics of this cycle of Redemption determines the right setting of the dynamics for the 70th week to begin.

In other words: the way the cycle of the 70 weeks plays out depends on how the cycle of Yahshua's Restoration plays out.

All cycles are related to each other and depend on each other's dynamics.

Daniel's seventy sevens are related to and dependent on Yahshua's mission of Restoration, and Yahshua's mission is related to and dependent on the Restoration of Israel, and the Restoration of Israel is tied to the Restoration of the world, and so forth.

Not 'the entire world' in the sense that everybody is restored, but YHWH's children, the children of Israel (not just as a cultural national tribal manifestation but Israel in the sense of the seed of Abraham, the ones who live by faith), are spread across the globe and they are to be found in different nations, different races.

Our Flesh is but a many-colored coat worn by a Soul and a Spirit which know only two races: Good and Evil.

All these cycles in turn are linked to cycles of YHWH's appointed (prophetic) Feast days and Jubilees, which is a cycle of 50 Earth years as we know them to be.

YHWH created these cycles and slices of cycles as a large and immensely complex web where everything is connected to and dependent on everything else.

Prophecy is not rooted in a particular position in a linear timeline, but it refers to a position within a certain dynamic interplay between cycles, where other cycles contribute to the right setting of the dynamics for the prophecy to manifest.

Like the prophecy concerning the destruction of Nineveh which Jonah had to deliver.

The prophecy depended on the dynamics of the cycle of Nineveh to reach a certain point in favor of Evil, after which the destruction of the city (which YHWH created as an event in His storyline) was set to occur.

Yet this event was not activated because the people operated the switch of choice.

They chose to repent and thereby changed the dynamics in the cycle of Nineveh, so that the prophecy did not occur.

This does not mean the prophecy failed, because it described an event which YHWH created and which existed as a reality.

But the choice of the people of Nineveh changed the manifestation of the cycle of Nineveh so that the manifestation of the destruction did not yet occur in that dynamic setting, and they consequently moved through a different reality.

So, bearing in mind what I have written about prophecy, it is not so much a matter of placing Daniel's last week between 2012 and 2019 for instance, but placing it within the right dynamics produced by the season of Creation.

Sometimes you have an early harvest, sometimes a late harvest.

The harvest comes at the exact right setting of the dynamics of the cycles which determine the timing of the harvest.

So too the final seven of Daniel's prophecy is like a harvest set to happen at the right dynamic configuration of other cycles, which will act like the activation of the 'Play'-button in Daniel's prophecy.

And who is to say that this final seven will be one uninterrupted period of 7 years?

Maybe it will play out as two periods of 3.5 years 'with a gap in the middle', because of the dynamic dependency on other cycles.

This is why I stopped paying much attention to date setting and timetables, because ultimately they do not take into consideration that prophecy is not directly related to a timeline, but it is related to the interplay of different dynamics of different cycles as they manifest in our sequential experience of moving through different cycles (i.e. our motion through our concept of a linear timeline).

WE are the ones who impose the time-based perspective of a direct relationship between prophecy and time, but prophecy does not have that direct link, since it is independent of our experience of moving through the different cycles.

I am sure that in spite of this, some writers who love to milk the end times cow in favor of their bank account and/or their status will continue to focus on dates and time periods, continuously shifting the dates as they expire without the anticipated results.

It appeals to the hunger for sensation, but other than an entertainment value and a milking cow for the authors it is a waste of time.

For the reasons I have discussed with you, the Revelation given to John seems to be fragmented and scattered across our concept of a horizontal timeline, with events flying back and forth across the timeline.

But we have to learn to put off our time-based glasses and learn to look from the perspective of YHWH's storyline, where one subject manifests itself in different layers spread out over our concept of a timeline, which is nothing other than YHWH's way of allowing us to experience different layers of one and the same phenomenon as separate events.

The seals, the shofars, the thunders, the bowls, they all refer to a topic or a cycle playing out in different 'slices', such as the first seal, the second seal, and so forth.

All of those slices produce a certain dynamic setting which act as a trigger for other slices of the same cycle as well as the other cycles to commence.

Daniel's vision of the beasts (Daniel 7) describe different manifestations, different incarnations in different slices of the cycle spread across a timeline, all describing one and the same phenomenon.

These are different layers of one at the same topic in YHWH's story, and after all the layers of different manifestations have been peeled away the ultimate and final manifestation remains in the final cycle which is to appear in our experience of a timeline.

In Daniel 7 this fourth kingdom is described as different because it devours the entire Earth, yet it is the same since in the sense that it matches the blueprint of the beast-empire.
It's just that this fourth slice has a different incarnation.

Time is nothing other than YHWH's way of letting us experience the different layers of one topic in His storyline sequentially, and we refer to this sequential unfolding as a timeline.

Time is YHWH's prism which breaks up one topic in His story and causes it to manifest in different points in our concept of a timeline in different incarnations, thus allowing us to experience the different incarnations just as different cameras might register the same event from different angles and perspectives, thus allowing us to get a more complete picture of the one event or 'mother-cycle'.

The two world wars we have experienced thusfar are really one and the same event manifesting in two different cycles, two different incarnations allowing us to experience the horror of hell, and these two cycles are two layers peeled off to reveal a third layer which we shall experience.

This third layer will have the same interplay between Good and Evil, the same key components acting out their roles, but they are nothing other than a different layer of one and the same event.

Why would YHWH put us through such horror of world wars over and over again?

He doesn't.

WE activated the realities of the two world wars just as the people of Nineveh DE-activated the destruction of Nineveh by their choice.

They chose to repent, we chose NOT to repent.

That is why a third slice of the world war is about to become a reality we activated through our unrepentent arrogant attitude.

Time is irrelevant, and nothing other than a concept which allows us to experience different angles of one and the same topic separate from each other.

It allows the cyclic motion of birth and death to experience the same dynamics of YHWH's storyline over and over again, until the final layer is peeled off and the story (and how it is EXPERIENCED by means of different angles of the camera of time positioned in the timeline), is complete.

The Timeline - III

I have explained that even though we think of time as a horizontal line stretching from the past into the future, it really is a motion through the dualistic circular rhythm of cycles.

The cycles are like circles and their end is their beginning.

Our motion through different manifestations of cycles is like walking along the rim of the 'mother-cycle' as if we endlessly are walking in the same circle, if we would view ourselves from the top.

The 'mother-cycle' is a 'concept' or 'subject', like a 'day', or a 'year', or an 'empire', and we experience the different layers of the concept or mother-cycle sequentially.

This sequential movement turns our walk around the rim of the mother-cycle into a walk on a helix where we venture through different layers, or manifestations, of the mother-cycle.

Because of the cyclic nature of time, prophecy needs to be put into the perspective of this concept of the motion through different cycles.

It should not be viewed from the perspective of a horizontal line stretching from the past into the future, because to do so is to set yourself up for misinterpretation of prophecy as well as miss out on how prophecy addresses the same sort of concepts throughout history so that one prophecy seems to refer to different events.

A prophecy may refer to one particular moment in our concept of a linear timeline, but in referring to that moment it pertains to the same moment manifesting in different cycles in what we would refer to as the timeline.

The timeline is nothing other than the motion through the same cycles repeating over and over again to provide us with different aspects of the same cycles.

In the post 'the perspective' I discussed an important key to understanding prophecy.

Prophecy is revelation which comes from Him who is not subject to our linear experience of time, YHWH.

We experience time as a linear passing of recurring and alternating cycles, like day and night, summer and winter, birth and death.

Although prophecy relates to time, it does so from the metaphysical perspective.

Although prophecy may related to one particular manifestation of a cycle ('A' in the illustration) , in addressing that particular slice it describes the 'concept' or 'mother-cycle' ('B' in the illustration), and thereby relates to all the other 'slices' or 'manifestations' of that cycle ('C', 'D', 'E' in the illustration).

It is not as if you can capture prophecy into a time-based cage and isolate it from all the other manifestations of the cycle to which the prophecy refers.

Prophecy comes from beyond time, from beyond the sequential order of different manifestations of cycles that we experience as a timeline unfolding from past into future.

To understand prophecy you have to be mindful of how YHWH relates to our existence as part of a 'timeline'.

For YHWH there is NO timeline, there is NO sequential motion through different slices or layers of cycles.

These different slices of a cycle are like different camera positions, and we experience these different views presented to us by this camera sequentially.

YHWH put us within the limitations imposed on us by our dimension in order that we might be able to go through the different layers of a 'mother-cycle' sequentially, or, to put it in different words, that we might view different 'camera registrations' of the same event in a sequential order.

We are 'glued' into a physical Body which experiences the motion through the dynamics of different cycles in a sequential order.

But for YHWH the limitations imposed by different dimensions do not exist.

He sees ALL of the cycles, ALL of the subjects, and ALL of the slices of the cycles as one big complete and finished picture.

He has an overview of this elaborate mosaic of cycles and their different slices which no one else has, not even the angels, and when He gives a prophecy it relates to the 'mother-cycle' as well as a particular manifestation of that cycle (a 'slice') which someone or a nation will go through , depending on the choice the individual or nation makes.

These choices we make are like forks in the roads within the complex structure of cycles, activating some 'slices' while steering clear of other manifestations of cycles.

YHWH has the ability not only to see the different interconnected roads within the web with a helicopter-view, He also knows the choices we shall make.

When He gives a prophecy, He puts a marker in that web of cycles at a crossroad, but it is not confined to that one crossroad, it also manifests at the same crossroads in all the other slices of the cycle to which it refers.

I have explained in the post 'the perspective' how the concept (or 'subject', or 'mother-cycle') of 'the anti-christ' is like a prism which is broken into different colors.

These different colors are like different manifestations in different cycles, and yes, 'THE anti-christ' also refers to one particular manifestation in one particular slice of the 'mother-cycle'.

Try to imagine a different view of time, not one where you walk along an imaginary line from past into future, but one where you are traveling in different experiences of different cycles.

If a cycle ends, then a 'new' cycle repeats the same path in a different yet similar incarnation.

Each night is the same in the sense that it features darkness, but each night is different in terms of how you experience it, the constellation of the stars you observe, the temperature, etc.

Instead of experiencing different cycles as positioned on a linear timeline, now try to imagine them side by side, not one following after the other, but instead the different cycles are taken out of our concept of a timeline where they were placed one after the other, and they now are positioned side by side.

Imagine that you would define these cycles by subject, so that if you would take the subject 'day' , instead of getting 30 of these 'subjects' in a sequential row on a timeline, you now get 30 subjects standing next to each other as one category not organized against and spread over a timeline.
If you do that, you get one 'mother-cycle' containing a multitude of different incarnations, one 'subject' or 'concept' which YHWH assigned a certain role in His storybook.

Just check the illustrations I showed you in the post 'the perspective', and you will have an illustration of what I am describing here.

Looking at time in the way I just described is moving a step closer to how YHWH looks at what we call time and the arrangement of different cycles in our concept of history.

You could also take the concept of 'the anti-christ', and position the different manifestations of this subject next to each other instead of being part of a sequential order progressing along a linear timeline.

When you do that, you have a view of the 'mother- cycle' of the concept of the 'anti-christ'.

This concept manifests in different ways, with different people living up to the role of 'anti-christ'.

You have one camera position which features the Antiochus IV Epiphanes-'slice', another camera  highlighting the Nero-'slice', and yet another camera focused on the Hitler-'slice'.

Different camera positions presenting us with different perspectives or 'slices' of the 'mother-cycle' or 'concept' of the 'anti-christ'.

YHWH allows us to experience all of those different 'slices' or 'camera positions' in a sequential order, and the total combination of the experience of this sequential order of  concepts linked to OTHER manifestations of concepts (all of which in turn are linked and interdependent on each other's dynamics), THAT is our experience of time and the creation of history as we know it.

Consider the concept of 'the Kingdom of Heaven', or 'the coming of Yahshua'.

Yahshua once said that the Kingdom of Heaven had come, and if we follow in His footsteps we see evidence of that statement in the form of people being healed and delivered, even raised up from the dead.
Yahshua is like the Guy who walks through a wasteland, and leaves a trail of flowers, grass and fertile land in His wake.
Before Him everything is barren, behind Him everything has turned green.

Yet if we look back through the eyes of a linear sequential experience of the timeline, we see Yahshua bringing us the Kingdom of Heaven, then He disappeared out of sight, and we are left with a trail of wars and suffering in the timeline following after Yahshua's departure.

Our time-based lens makes it seem as if Yahshua had been exaggerating with His statement, but the Truth is that He did NOT.

The Kingdom of Heaven HAD come in that particular slice of the cycle, and it manifested itself, and the next slice in that cycle features a new phase or cycle of that 'concept' or 'mother-cycle' of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The same is true for the mission of Salvation and Restoration the Messiah would bring.

Looking across a sequential order of a linear timeline it seems as if it came and went.

When Yahshua was on Earth, He brought change on the most fundamental level to people,  and even after He went back to Heaven His disciples acted in the Spirit of His mission.

Yet when they too were gone, everything slowly seemed to 'settle back to normal', with a paganized religion of Christianity pretending to carry the banner of Yahshua's mission on Earth.

It had grown into just another item in the religious catalogue of services in Babel's empire.

It seems as if the 'renaissance' was in the air for a short while, yet then followed the dualistic pattern whereby everything which begins also must have an end.

Yet if you look at it from that perspective, you are relating to Yahshua's work of Salvation and the prophecies concerning His work as a TIME-BASED event, while in fact that is not the proper perspective.

The Truth is that we live in a realm where repeating cycles are organized and experienced as separated blocks along a 'timeline', while in fact the blocks are part of one and the same event.
This block is broken up into different incarnations, all too often with 'gaps' between the different 'slices'.

These blocks are part of a structure which tells a story, and this story is not organized in a time-based linear fashion, but it is organized by subjects in the story-line.

Our experience of this story-line is caused by a sequential motion through the story-line.

To us it looks as if the story-line is spread out across 'a timeline' so that familiar elements incorporated in the story seem to re-occur time and again.

Yet this re-occurence is caused by the fact that we experience different layers of cycles sequentially, like different layers of one and the same phenomenon being peeled off and spread out across (or 'catalogued into') a timeline.

The two cycles or slices of the 'concept' or 'mother-cycle' of the 'Kingdom of Heaven' I just described are part of one and the same event, and the time between the different incarnations of the cycles or slices really is irrelevant, a side-effect of the sequential motion through different cycles whereby the dynamic of one cycle is shaped by the dynamics of another, and both are dependent on each other to produce the right setting for the next manifestation of a slice of the cycle.

The separation between the different incarnations or stages of the concept is experienced by us as a time-related phenomenon, whereby one stage is split from the other by means of a 'gap' in the timeline, so that slice one occurs in the year zero, and slice two in the year 2024 (for instance).

The distance between the different slices is caused by the sequential experience of them.

One slice may be placed at nr. 264 in the catalogue of different cycles (which is equivalent to year 4 BC for example), while the next slice is placed at number 963 in that same catalogue (which is equivalent to the year 2016 for example).

This gap between nr. 264 and nr. 963 exists ONLY because of the fact that we process the different slices sequentially.

Assigning an event of cycle a place into the timeline is the equivalent of placing it into a sequential order of a catalogue.

The different cycles or 'slices' have different incarnations, and the final cycle is the crowning cycle, embodying everything the particular 'phenomenon' or 'mother-cycle' stands for.

For this reason the final 'anti-christ' will also be the crowning incarnation of the concept of the 'anti-christ', one who is completely and utterly set up as a vehicle of Evil to become man's 'anti-salvation'.

The Salvation and Restoration Yahshua brings have already come.

In our time-based perspective we can see the evidence of that in His first coming.

What we would refer to as His first and His second coming is really part of one and the same event manifesting in two different incarnations which we experience in terms of time-related events as Yahshua's first coming in approximately the year zero (a little before that), and His second coming at some point which is still future to us.

Just as the final 'anti-christ' will be the ultimate manifestation of the concept of the 'anti-christ', the extreme embodiment of Evil, Yahshua's second coming will be the crowning manifestation of the concept of His work of Salvation and Restoration.

We experience this a timeline featuring Yahshua's first coming, after which everything seemed to return to business as it always had been, followed by Yahshua's second coming somewhere in the future.

Yet this 'gap' we see in the timeline between the first and second coming is caused by the fact that we have been positioned in an interplay between the dynamics of different cycles, where the manifestation of a next slice of a cycle is dependent on the setting of the right dynamics by other cycles.

I will discuss the presence of these 'time-gaps' in the next part.

I cannot stress sufficiently the importance of learning to look through the eyes of the storyline YHWH created instead of approaching His prophecy from a linear time-based perspective.

Because we are born as part of a timeline we all tend to relate to everything from the perspective of the idea of a timeline.

However, to understand prophecy and how prophecy works you HAVE to learn to look through a different lens, NOT one which is rooted in a linear time-based perspective, but one which looks through the perspective of the storyline and how it manifests in different cycles spread out one after another across a timeline, cycles which are like different layers of one and the same subject in the storyline.

A timeline is nothing other than an orderly event-catalogue arranged by sequence, while the storyline is arranged by subject.

Prophecy refers to the storyline, and relates it to the event-catalogue we refer to as our timeline.

The focus in prophecy is first and foremost on the storyline and the subjects in it.

Consider the appointed dates of YHWH's Feasts; are they fixed within a timeline?

You may say 'yes' because they refer to set days in set months, but all of these days belonging to the months are made dependent on cycles of the moon, just as the beginning new year was dependent on the cycle of the harvest of the barley in combination with the cycle of the moon.

This clearly indicates that the occurence of the cycle of the Feast days depends on cycles and the manifestation of the right dynamics of other cycles.

Furthermore, was the prophetic content of these Feast days fulfilled during each consecutive year?

No.

The prophetic content could manifest ONLY when the dynamics of the other cycles had the correct setting.

ALL the other years when the prophetic content could not yet manifest were like dress-rehearsals pointing 'forward' and 'backward' across the concept of a timeline.

Of course this 'pointing forward and backward across time' is a pointing to the 'slices' where the prophetic content was fulfilled. 

As such the Feast days are NOT time-based events, but CYCLE-RELATED events.

The 'fruit of the prophetic content' of a cycle can be brought forth ONLY in the right season.
The content can manifest only when the dynamics of the other cycles is right, just as fruit can grow only during a particular cycle of the month-cycle, namely the month which produces the right dynamic setting for the fruit to mature. 

If you approach prophecy from a time-based perspective, then surely John was completely mistaken when he wrote that he was living in the last hour.

After all, a last hour which extends itself for 2000 years can hardly be called a last hour, can it?

But, John was right, he really WAS living in the last hour, the final stages of one particular cycle right before the complete restoration of all things.

We live in that SAME last hour, yet in a different manifestation of it.

We look at the same anti-christ as John, the anti-christ which was expected, who has come, who is, and who will come.

'Has', 'is', 'will', these are markers pertaining to OUR sequential motion through the dynamics of cycles, and we call the moment where we are conscious of our motion 'the present', from whence we look  into the past and the future of a timeline.

That 'last hour' is a description of a cycle, a layer of a phenomenon, and although we do not live in the same 'layer' or 'slice' as John, we DO live in the same 'phenomenon', the 'last hour'.

This 'last hour', although in our experience the different 'camera registrations' of this concept are spread out sequentially across a timeline, and although the ultimate manifestation is embedded within that timeline, is a cycle which has and which will manifest itself.

John was witness to one 'camera position' highlighting an aspect of the 'anti-christ', we witness another 'camera position' of the same 'anti-christ'.

You see, in YHWH's eyes and in terms of the storyline of man's Fall and Restoration, time is irrelevant.

The sensation of time is produced by the motion through a sequential order of different 'slices' of a 'mother-cycle'.

Time is just a way of experiencing different cycles or layers of one and the same phenomenon.

The 2000 years between Yahshua's first  and second coming are irrelevant, because it is the effect produced by living in a Body which is set up to process the motion through different cycles in a sequential linear way.

Yahshua's Restoration comes from an Origin which does not move through cyclic manifestations featuring a beginning and an end.

The Restoration manifests in the cyclic realm, yet it will lift us up out of the cyclic movement to become a permanent lasting manifestation.

After all, the dualistic rhythm has its roots in the fact that YHWH created an impossible situation where 'that which is not', 'Evil', can exist.

Out of this artificially engineered situation Dualism came into existence to produce the alternation between Good and Evil, Light and Darkness, that 'which is' vs. that 'which is not', the rhythm of Dualism.

Dualism dictates that everything which has a beginning must have an end.

Our restoration unto YHWH, in Whom there is no dualistic rhythm of a beginning and an end, means that WE are lifted out of the dualistic rhythm so that we no longer experience  the dualistic cyclic movement of 'plus and minus'.

The good news of Dualism is that the things which are subject to its rhythm are destined to end just as they began.

This means that Babel's reign over and exploitation of man and her colonization of Earth is determined to end just as it began, since it exists by the grace of Dualism.

For YHWH the whole concept of 'different slices' of 'mother-cycles' as different 'camera positions' manifesting in a sequential timeline does not exist.
He does not exist in a dimensional limitation of time like we do.

Our sequential narrative is one complete finished picture to Him.

All the different 'slices', which are like 'layers' of a cycle, are viewed by Him as one complete cycle, a view which transcends all dimensional limitations.

YHWH wrote the book, and it exists in His mind as one complete finished entity.
For this reason prophets often described future events in the past tense, as if they had happened already.

We are moved through the sequential experience of the storyline of the book, chapter by chapter, and our physical Body is the vehicle designed for the sequential processing of the different layers of cycles.
The dynamics produced by the cycles form a picture of the 'physical reality' we are familiar with, a very limited picture with a limited concept of reality, yet serving its purpose very well.

The Timeline - II

Before I move on to part three I want to provide you with illustrations of what I have discussed.

After all, a picture tells more than a thousand words.

In my previous post I made it clear that our Body is like a portal which enables our Spirit and Soul to become part of a motion through different interconnected cycles, and we experience this motion as 'time'.

Life is like one big cycle with a beginning and an end, comprising MANY other sub-cycles as well are being part of and influenced by the dynamics of other (external) cycles.

And yet our Life is a slice, or a different manifestation, of the phenomenon 'Life' as a cyclic phenomenon within a generational line of 'Lives'.

Before we could enter the cyclic motion of time, the cycle of our Life had to be 'activated' by a preceding cyclic manifestation of the phenomenon 'Life' in the form of the Lives of our parents.

Or, to put it in simple terms, we could only be activated as part of the timeline because the trigger for our birth was given by our parents.

So, why do I express simple things with such an elaborate and difficult way?

Because I want to change your perpective of what you refer to as 'time'.

I used the analogy of a sine wave to depict the dynamics of the dualistic cyclic movement, including the movement of the cycle of Good vs. Evil:

A period or cycle in this case is an upward and downward slope, from A to B.

The different 'periods' of the sine wave  are like different experiences or slices of one and the same cycle of the sine wave. 

The ongoing series of different periods of sine waves therefore are like moving around the edge of the same circle representing the cycle:

 This constant motion around the 'edge of the circle', going through different manifestations of what in essence is one and the same circle, is what we experience as a 'timeline'.

We relate to those experiences just as we processed them: in a sequential order, and our way of doing this is by putting them all on a shelf, a linear timeline featuring a neat order of consecutive manifestations of the circle:

Yet these items we have placed on the shelf of our timeline are nothing other than different experiences of one single circle, or cycle, experiences we processed and went through in a sequential order:

Our journey through time is something we interpret as moving along a long line which stretches ALL the way back into the past, but in reality we simply move in circles manifesting in different incarnations, thus allowing us to see different perspectives of one and the same phenomenon.

ALL of these different perspectives combined form a complete 4-D perspective of the circle, the cycle, yet instead of being able to perceive the 4-D picture in one moment we are put through a 3-D journey through the different perspectives which together complete the 4-D picture. 

Time is nothing other than a perpetual string of cycles repeating themselves, allowing us to experience the different manifestations or 'slices' of a cycle as the cycle manifests in  slightly different yet similar ways.

When we are born, our first and most immediate and all encompassing exposure is to the environment of our parents in all its different aspects.

Due to our wrong responses to the faults of our parents and the composition of our DNA, we inherit the dynamics of their cyclic movement.

In other words: we begin to move to the rhythm  of their beat, the dynamic motion of their cycle of their Life.

The cycle incorporating the dynamics of Evil vs. Good replicates itself in us, and we end up perpetuating the same dynamics of the cycle of our forefathers.

The dynamics of the cycle of our parents may have produced genetic mutations in the form of degenerative diseases which are passed from one generation to the next.

After all, the dynamics of the cycle have a Spiritual, Mental and Physical component, and where the Spiritual component is instantaneous, the Physical component is like a recorder with all the wrong information locked in its memory and therefore slow to change the conditioning to the memory content.

The fear of genetic mutations passing from one generation to another creates so much stress in some people that they will even amputate healthy body parts preventively, as one actress did who recently had her breasts removed in order to avoid ending up like her mother who died of breast cancer.

Unfortunately, taking away a Body part does not take away the Spiritual and Mental cause, and removing the breasts will only cause the wrong dynamics of her parents' cycle to manifest in a different way.

It is sad to see people 'preventively' mutilating themselves like that, just because a doctor added fuel to the flames of fear by telling his patient that there is a 90% chance that the disease of her mother will also strike her.

Blind guiding the blind.

Our exposure to Evil manifesting in the dynamics of the cycle of our parents causes us to become imprinted with the dynamics of their cycles.

In our current fallen state we tend to put up the wrong defense whenever we are confronted with Evil.

Our 'natural' form of resistance is anger, hatred, resentment, emotions which our fallen pride uses as a way of asserting and strengthening itself.

These emotions cause our Soul to release energy which 'amplifies' the emotion, and imprints us with the memory of Evil residing within our brains.

In our brains a memory of the event where Evil tempted us is formed as a recording, and this recording is linked to the emotions involved in our wrong resistance to the Evil temptation.

Not only that, but the Soul opens up a portal for Evil influences and a matching Evil Spirit which can enter us and shape our character and our lives in its image.

The problem is that the emotion of anger/hatred/resentment now is linked to the memory of the event where we responded in the wrong way to Evil.

This means that whenever we get upset and angry or resentful, we end up strengthening all other memories which are connected to the emotion, like pulling on the string of a web which sets the entire web in motion.

So, if you get upset and angry because you missed a train, you end up triggering the emotion linked to many other memories including the wrong way you reacted to being exposed to the Evil of your parents, a memory which may be hidden in the recesses of your sub-consciousness.

The result is that you end up releasing energy from your Soul which activates conditioning patterns linked to the memories, conditioning patterns which came forth out of being imprinted with the dynamic cycle of your parents.

Triggering an emotion which is linked to traumatic events causes your Soul to release energy which strengthens the memories of these events and the Evil associated with them.

We end up sending energy through the many sub-cycles which are part of the dynamics of our parents' cycle we 'inherited', and we AFFECT those cycles to the extent that they now incorporate MORE Evil then before.

EVERYTHING and EVERY cycle is linked, and by responding in the wrong way to temptation rising from the dynamics of one cycle we end up changing the dynamics of other cycles.

The energy our Soul releases as a result of hating someone or being resentful over something travels through ALL those links to other cycles and changes them in a negative way.

In the illustration, which is still an extremely simplified representation of reality, the complex interconnected structure of cycles, sub-cycles and different manifestations of cycles over time is depicted.

It is not hard to imagine how, if you release energy in Cycle 1, this energy becomes like a stream of electricity traveling through the multitude of different links, thereby affecting the dynamics embedded within the cycles.

If that energy is the transformed energy resulting from Sin, then it will affect the dynamics of the other cycles in a negative way. 

The passing of the dynamics from one generation to the next is referred to in the Bible, like in Exodus 20, where YHWH refers to this process as 'visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children'.

Thus we come to perpetuate the cyclic imprisonment of our parents within the setting of our own lives, and depending on the choices we make we either build upon our inheritance of their cyclic motion which has reproduced itself in us, perhaps even adding new Sins to the dynamics, OR we learn to let go, and let YHWH deal with temptation in areas where our parents failed.

When we learn to let go and surrender it to YHWH, He sets out to destroy the force emanating from the dynamics of Evil temptation, and He uses our exposure to temptations as moments to sculpt out our character in His image, creating different manifestations of the cycles in our lives which incorporate more of His Light.

After all, caving in to temptations of pleasure or hate = puffing up (feeding) our pride = transforming energy from YHWH into energy in service of Evil = hating YHWH =  perpetuating the inheritance of the cycle of our forefathers.

But, letting go of temptations into pleasure or hate = deflating our pride by withholding its food =  NOT giving energy to Evil = loving YHWH = breaking the cycle of our parents which holds us captive in bondage to Evil.

We are given the opportunity to become the first generation which passes on a new cycle to the next generations because YHWH has the power to break the yoke of the legacy we inherited from our forefathers in us so that we do not burden our children the way we have been.

I have written about the relationship between the balance of Good vs. Evil in a society, and the destructive end result of a growing imbalance in favor of Evil.

The illustration here what happens when individuals begin to identify with the deception of Evil to a greater extent than before.

The dynamics of their personal cycle shifts in favor of a greater presence of Evil and support of the deception of Evil, and a lessened support for and tolerance of expressions of Good.

Likewise, some individuals come to realize the deception of Life on Earth, and they suffer as their eyes are opened to the presence of Evil within them, and how this Evil affects them, causing thoughts to rise in them, making them say and do things which are contrary to their Spirit.

They do not close their eyes nor go along with Evil, but it vexes them so that they cry out to be saved from this vexation.

When these individuals cry out to YHWH to be saved, YHWH becomes their Yahshua who delivers them and changes them from within.

This change is reflected in an identification with YHWH and His Spirit, and as a result the cycle of their internal reality in terms of Good vs. Evil begins to change in favor of Good.

When you take these two individuals I mentioned, one identifying to a greater degree with Evil and the other growing closer to YHWH, the Source of all Good, and their identities merge with the source of their identification to a greater degree than before, the  stress caused by the imbalance between these individuals will increase to greater proportions, crying out for resolve.

As this imbalance between those who chose for Evil and those who chose for YHWH grows to greater extremes, invariably you will see the phenomenon that the pure aggressive character of Evil will express itself through the individuals who identify with Evil, which is depicted as the red arrow and the red lightning bolt in the illustration.

This means that since these individuals grow increasingly uncomfortable with the presence of those who identify with YHWH (the blue arrow and lightning bolt in the illustration), they will seek to remove the source of that stress, which they identify as the group of people loving YHWH and adhering to His instructions.

After all, the ones who identify with Evil experience YHWH's presence in their hearts as a stress, and therefore they seek to block His Light in their hearts in order to get rid of the stress the Light brings them.

So, when they are confronted with the presence of this Light in the hearts of others, the presence of this Light is a reminder of that which they sought to erase in their own hearts, and they experience this as a stress and a source of annoyance in their minds.

They respond to this stress by a 'natural aversion' of and anger towards the ones they deem to be responsible for the stress, meaning that they will project their anger and strong aversion on their scapegoat.

As the imbalance grows, the stress of the imbalance makes the ones who identify with Evil seek for ways to eliminate the ones who identify with YHWH in order to block out the presence of His Light shining in them.

Together, the ones who identify with Evil and the ones who identify with YHWH bring forth the dynamics of the cycle of Good vs. Evil in a society.

As the number of the group which identifies with Evil grows, and the group of people who identify with Good diminishes, the dynamics of the cycle change.

This affects the total cycle of a society or empire in the sense that society is descending on a sliding scale, which is the  downwards slope of the sine wave which ultimately brings about its correction in the form of its destruction.
NO empire has existed which managed to escape this law of dynamics.

As the group of people identifying with Good becomes smaller, a minority of a society, and the group of people identifying with Evil grows bigger, and society as a result begins to manifest and promote the deception of Evil on a larger and more intense scale, the stress of the imbalance between the two groups causes the group which identifies with Evil to seek for ways to force the other group, -which they deem to be responsible for being a stress on society and a hindrance on the road of progress-, to conform to the prevailing ideology of society.

Faillure to comply with the demands of society results in the demonization of the group of people who still identify with Good, and who seem to be a perpetual strumbling block on the road of 'progress' as society embraces the deception of Evil to an ever increasing degree.

As a result, the group of people identifying with the deception of Evil will seek for ways to turn their ideology into laws which force the other group to conform, or to face persecution as a just penalty for their failure to comply and conform.

This process is in full swing in Western nations, especially the USA where the demonization of Christians is assuming preposterous proportions, simply  because they refuse to accept doctrines which their nation has embraced, yet which have their roots in deception.

This process of intolerance towards those who identify with Good will continue to grow, until it tears up the fabric of society and brings about its own destruction.

After all, the embrace of the lies of Evil means the embrace of the character of Evil, which is destruction and annihilation, non-existence.

There comes a certain point where Evil has reached the limit which YHWH set upon the imbalance created by the presence of Evil.

Before any nation reaches that point, YHWH will issue warnings in the form of stress, such as drought, extreme weather conditions, diseases, disasters, etc.
These warnings are expressions of the stress of the imbalance caused by Evil, like little mirrors YHWH holds up to a nation.

Failure to acknowledge these warnings will inevitably lead up to the point where the imbalance has reached its limit and is not allowed to cross that line.

That is the moment when YHWH becomes a mirror unto the Evil in society and the people living in it, and He reflects the FULL extent of Evil back unto itself.
The preceding warnings were like miniature versions of the reflection of the destructive character of Evil, but when a nation does not heed the warning and continues to feed the tension of the imbalance, the full extent of the destructive character of Evil is unleashed upon the nation.
The nation will be forced to look in YHWH's mirror and experience what it has become: Evil, destructive.

This means that whereas Evil sought to destroy Good and those in support of what is Good, YHWH will destroy Evil and the ones who support and have become instruments of Evil.

As a result of YHWH's judgment the dynamics of the cycle of the concept 'society' is restored.

The nation or empire has suffered destruction, and out of its ashes arises a new slice of the cycle called 'empire', a cycle with a beginning where the empire emerges, followed again by the downward motion on the slope of the dynamics in this cycle which will result in its destruction.

The cyclic motion of empires is a beautiful illustration of how we travel through different slices of cycles.

These different 'slices' are like different empires belonging to the cycle (or concept) 'empire', a cycle with a beginning and end.

A cycle is the dualistic manifestation of a concept, containing smaller cycles which produce the total dynamic of the cycle they are part of and linked with.
This total dynamic is a point in the sine wave which illustrates the rise and fall of an empire.

For instance, the concept or cycle of a day is one cycle consisting of the alternating dualistic pattern of light and darkness, and this cycle is once again subdivided in smaller cycles of morning-afternoon/evening-night, hours, minutes, seconds, ad infinitum.

Yet the cycle of a day is also linked to other cycles, such as the cycles of seasons influencing the manifestation of the cycle of a day, or a the cycle of health - illness where the experience of the day is influenced by being ill or being healthy for instance. 

Many of these cycles on a great multitude of different levels are linked and joined together to form the dynamic of our experience related to moving through the multitude of different 'slices' of different cycles.

We refer to this motion as 'moving through time', a journey of moving through a great multitude of different cycles.

Moving from the rise and fall of one empire to the same dualistic motion of the next empire is like moving through the activation of different slices of the same circle or cycle (in this case the cycle 'empire').

It is like walking around the edge of the same circle called 'empire', yet experiencing different manifestations of that circle, which are the equivalent of different slices.

This is how the cycle 'empire' is like a 'stretched-out circle' so that it becomes a helix.

Seen from the top the helix looks like a circle, yet when you look from the side you can see how this circle seems to be 'stretched-out', so that as we have completed our walk around the edge of the circle (as it appears to us if we look from the top), we begin a second walk around the perimeter yet on a different slice of the same circle on a lower level.

The same principle can be applied for the cycle of one 24-hour day.
An hour is yet another sub-cycle, -a 'child of', connected to the cycle of the day ('the parent'), thereby creating the phenomenon of cycles within cycles within cycles and so forth.
All of these cycles and sub-cycles are interconnected, thus creating a hugely complex tapestry of what we perceive as a dead simple concept of a timeline moving from past to future.

From the top, the day looks like a two-dimensional circular cycle of light and darkness with us moving around the same perimeter over and over again.

Yet seen from the side, these different days are like interconnect slices of the same concept (circle) creating a helix.

These different slices are manifestations of the same concept of the 24-hour day, yet in different settings which allow for a different perspective of the same phenomenon.

So, what we refer to as time is really a helix structure of ongoing cycles with a dualistic rhythm.

Interestingly, our DNA has a double helix structure, as if this concept of cyclic motion through different experiences of one and the same phenomenon in terms of Good and Evil is illustrated in our source-code.

But then again, our DNA is MUCH more than the 'source-code' of our physical make-up.

It regulates our perception of the physical reality, it is capable of translating us into different dimensions, it is an extremely advanced superconductor, it enables 'intuitive communication', and much more.

To think that in spite of the highly advanced design many scientists believe that our DNA consists of 90% junk-DNA, as if the Designer was an amateur, is a level of ignorance and stupidity which boggles my mind, and I guarantee you that in 50 years time scientists will scratch their heads in amazement over this kind of stupidity and ignorance.

But, that is a completely different subject matter which I will not discuss here.

In the next episode I will discuss how the cyclic motion of time relates to prophecy.
