Hidden history, the dark ages, the calendar....
I ask the question:
"WHEN are we? And how can we be sure 'when' we are?
Does it matter?
Time and the calendar...the greatest conspiracy few will look at. I think it would shatter some perceived realities and what we think we know - but in a good way.
I have come to the conclusion that Jesus is enough, even if He never revealed another thing to me.
Does this mean to discard everything you have learned and become extremist in whatever viewpoint you come to a conclusion is true? NO. Does it mean stop studying? NO.
Conspiracy is not a "bad" word. It's simply a secret plan by a group. When you look at the history of the calendar and who is responsible for the one we follow, well - forgive me for being a little cynical at prophetic date setters. This is not a "teaching"; just a dang good theory that challenges everything you and I may believe.
I haven't heard too many believers mention anything like this but maybe a handful of folks.
Manufactured bible prophecy playing out?
Mass deception? Strong delusion?
The information below made me beg a few questions like:
What makes us think we couldn't be the generation deceived in Revelation 20? When if we are the generation after the enemy was loosed for a short time? When if we are in the short season? I know that is a HUGE question and brings MUCH baggage to unpack with it. This does not take away anyone's blessed hope unless you allow it to.
Disclaimers: Some people are looking forward to Jesus sitting in a physical temple ruling over all people or they are looking forward to a rapture in some fashion; there are so many views on the 'rapture'. I don't know what to tell you. Maybe don't place your faith in prophecy that is hotly debated among the most diligent bible students and teachers and place it in Jesus Christ's finished work on the cross. Keep studying. Don't lose faith.
Maybe do not proceed reading unless you have solidified your faith in Jesus first.
I have several posts warning and disclaiming about falling into "rabbit holes" as they are called.
This information could mean the preterists are on to something. It could mean some of our fringe brothers and sisters in Christ could be on to something.
Bear with me here. I won't be able to address every single theological and eschatological stance in this short note.
This entire note is simply to ask the question:
When are we and how can we KNOW? And does it matter?
I believe it does matter greatly and only time will tell and these are my notes I'm sharing.
I hope to help someone hang onto their faith even if MAN is wrong about some important things and beliefs many of us might have. It doesn't mean you mark and avoid one of your favorite pastors or teachers if their timeline is incorrect - and vise versa on me presenting this information on the calendar. It also doesn't mean go full on extremist or dogmatic because there are some that have taken this and ran with it and preaching a whole other gospel. This is why I surround myself with people with varying beliefs when it comes to prophecy - their beliefs and interpretations of the scriptures may differ, but they do not preach another gospel. (Deuteronomy 13 and 18 can be helpful to read regarding this.)
I discern some of this should be considered and tucked away
in case MAN'S timelines are incorrect.
That's not me saying they ARE incorrect, as they very well could be correct!
This is me saying some things are not matching up when we look at the information and physical evidence presented here.
Being dogmatic is a very dangerous place to be when it comes to certain things.
Do we trust man's history books that much? Man's calendar? People get really worked up when you ask these kind of questions. But I was born to ask these questions! Seems the first thing the enemy would do when he's released for a little while is hide Christ.
Test all things and hold fast to what is good. It's not unbiblical to ask these questions because Revelation 20 HAS to happen. It is written. We just have to ask ourselves whose version of history do we base our eschatology on?
I do understand that if this were to be the case, the only thing we're actually waiting on is Satan to be cast into the Lake of Fire after the great battle, then the Great White Throne of Judgment, and the new heaven and earth. That's a lot to digest even for me.
But let me tell you, there are people out there that have done much testing, researching, and combing of historical events and comparing with the scriptures. It does seem like it wouldn't be a bad idea to at least be moderately informed in case they might just be right that much has been fulfilled.
What I have come across, is nearly anything we could suggest that has not been fulfilled, other people have found points in history where it could have been fulfillment. I will not be elaborating on each fulfillment. All of that is very easily looked up and has been discussed by many who are digging in. Revelation 20:3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.
How long is 'a little while'? What happened during the dark ages? All very interesting things to research on your own time. Hold fast to Jesus if you feel led to test these things.
The Greatest Conspiracy
Speaker is Travis from Avoidthemark/Beast System Revealed. When I heard this short message (I want to say in early 2020), it was my first time hearing anyone mention it outside of my small study group. We have discussed the timeline we're on and the calendar many times amongst ourselves.
Travis articulated it very well, imho. This the most relatable thing I've heard to date on the matter or on "end times". Give it a listen before proceeding, please. I know our attention spans are shortening; but fight the urge to proceed, argue, or even mark and avoid until you've see what's presented in this note. I had to do the same myself!
When are we?
The Calendar.
After listening to 'The Greatest Conspiracy' video, it is a great opportunity to segue into the calendar and ask 'when' are we?
This is truly one of the most interesting topics I've ever come across!
𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐬: 𝐇𝐚𝐬 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫?
There is some pretty neat physical evidence brought forward on the matter in the two videos down below. Enough for me to not trust the calendar 100% and never be dogmatic in "eschatological timelines". Even when things seem to "match up".
Crazy that different teachers or scholars can have the same bible and make the numbers match up but have a different timeline of "end time" events.
Why would they hide 1000 years? I don't know. To place us further out from the time Jesus walked this earth, possibly? Causing some to lose faith? To make it seem more like a long ago fable? To usher in a false, new age jesus? Using our bible as a playbook?
The enemy and whoever serves him wants to deceive, lie, kill, and destroy us physically and spiritually. We are to be wise as serpents, but harmless as doves.
There are MANY christs out there. There are many jesus's out there. There are many religions looking for a "messiah" around the same time - and soon. There are things you must be familiar with as more and more lying signs and wonders start happening. Especially if you are a teacher leading many.
My friend Reuben said this: "I believe they are trying to hide Christ, but not entirely. What is happening is that they are replacing Christ with alternate christ through these deceptions. That is the spirit of antichrist. Anti means against, but it also means 'instead of'. So what is happening is that they are hiding Christ by giving us an alternative christ, which is the flesh as we glory in ourselves by our own wisdom." I believe we will see many lying signs and wonders and I will be extremely vigilant. Many of the events in the bible will be mimicked by the enemy to usher in an antichrist to justify a timeline I think will ultimately having many believers falling for a false Christ. If you take time to look up the history of the calendar, it doesn't take long at all to see that things could have definitely been tampered with for nefarious reasons. I put several things in the comment section that can start one off looking at a few things.
I pray for wisdom and discernment during strong delusion. I pray to be bold and not lose faith in Jesus and what He said He'd do. His promises are true.
If one can't be sure WHEN we are, how can we be sure of our timelines we come up with in our studies?
Will some of our current eschatological timelines have people looking for a false messiah when that false messiah comes with all his lying signs and wonders?
Will there be a handful of believers looking crazy because they will be telling people, "That is not the Christ!"
How can we say we KNOW anything when they lie monumentally about EVERYTHING? Seek Jesus. The only Truth.
With delusion and confusion amok, I hold close 1 Corinthians 1.
Cling to Christ whether you are amillennial, premillennial, post millennial, or even preterist...
Each position can be deceived, some more than others.
Link to entire playlist (11 videos). They aren't very long.
Enjoy :)
It really does seem like very important information.
LINK to series: Changing Times and Laws by Jason Jack
Below, two short videos from that playlist that stood out to me. The neat physical evidence I mentioned up there of 1,000 years behind hidden.
Some random thoughts for after you've watched a bit of the information presented:
Is this theory too far out there? I don't see it talked about much. I did join a group or two thinking I'd find some like minded folks testing things - I didn't last long in the groups because it just seems like people tend to become prideful, condescending to others that haven't looked into this, or take an extremist, dogmatic stance on things we just can't be sure of.
Some even segued into things I just could not go along with. That's why we truly need the Light (Jesus) when venturing down some of these paths in a world that wants to draw us AWAY from Jesus.
Paul says that the spiritually immature are tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine....Good shepherds can guard the flock from being carried about by every wind of doctrine only if they instruct the church in true doctrine.
This topic is NOT "being tossed to and fro". It's clinging to the doctrine of Christ and not trusting the teachings of men. Especially when physical evidence seems to point that the lies that we are being told are immeasurable.
If we believe some of the other things in the bible that are considered "wild", why is it so crazy to think we could be the massively deceived generation if evidence shows us the calendar has been severely tampered with? By religious people at that!
It's tough to question what you think you know. I find myself having to humble myself all the time and admit that something someone is presenting has enough evidence to be considered and tested.
I know nothing about a lot and many others are the same but claim to be wise.
1 Corinthians 2:2 and 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 is my mantra right now.
I am open to input from others who have put in much time in the Word (scriptures) and with the Word (Christ) and are holding fast to what they have learned. I welcome it. There are some that have studied for a very long time - it would be very interesting to see some pastors or teachers give feedback on some of this information.
This is very tough to present and condense.
If things don't happen the way we think they are supposed to happen, we will need bold Kingdom Warriors that will stand firm in the faith when many are falling away because the prophecies didn't come true or we figure out a false messiah was ushered in. I mean, I can see where everything could go sideways in many many ways.
I want to express how humbly I am presenting this. I pray someone gets ahold of it that can truly take a look and see something that maybe I am not? A teacher that has a large following that can maybe tuck it away in case it's needed to remind people, "Hey! Everything didn't happen the way we thought, but hold fast to Jesus!"
The prophets are coming out of the woodworks and they all are "right". The scripture they use all "lines up" even if they have different eschatological beliefs or timelines; that's incredible, yes?
I'm sure many have observed this phenomenon unless they are in an echo chamber and aren't hearing from others.
There is a sort of.....magic (if you will) behind numbers, dates, etc. Using math, you can make pretty much anything you believe line up. Read that part again. I've seen it over and over when people with different beliefs in bible teachings make the numbers "match up".
Making physical sense of what's happening in the spiritual realm...will have one constantly in circles. This is why the numbers always "match up". This is why the headlines always "match up". There are principalities controlling this system (the airwaves = prince of the air). Do we believe Ephesians 6 or not?
I'm still testing some things. The enemy knows what doors to knock on in our mind. Especially if we are a truth seeker, critical thinker, or just someone that questions things.
The enemy knows the scriptures better than any man, I'll bet - if I were a betting woman.
If Hollywood has made a movie based on our doctrine, that means they approved it. Do you think Hollywood wants you to know the truth?
“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.” John 15 The truth is Christ. Period.
Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
My trust and peace is in Jesus; He warned and warned and WARNED about being deceived. Why is it SO FAR FETCHED and abominable to even ponder these questions? It would mean laying down everything we've studied and people don't like doing that. I didn't like doing that! I've worked hard on all my studies and notes, dang it. All the time we've put in. All our "knowledge". The evil is probably so deep it would make our heads explode!
"It's not organic prophecy playing out." (That was said in the greatest conspiracy video up at the top)
It might look like it is. But consider the enemy could be using our bible as a playbook? And God is allowing it for a time?
And if he's doing that, then we can pretty much guess what's coming based on the book of Revelation if it's being used as a playbook and one can prepare to endure accordingly.
We all know the enemy knows the scriptures very well.
So regardless, we do as instructed by Christ. We endure patiently until the end. Share the Gospel. Love God. Love others. Cling to the hem of His garment.
Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. John 8:36
For what it's worth to anyone out there reading this, my gut....discernment believes this is a plausible scenario that deserves a little more attention in case things do not pan out the way people believe. I'm still praying about it. Still testing all things. Being a Berean.
I still consider prophetic parallels, double/dual fulfillment, typology, etc. And the fact that there's nothing new under the sun. What has been will be again. History is constantly repeating and mirroring itself. But I also wonder how many of those things are man trying to make something fit their theology/eschatology.
This is why you don't see my telling people what the mark of the beast is, who "the" antichrist is....because it's been done over and over and over throughout history.
My friends and family can see this note. People I care about. I am not sharing this information to be "shocking" or to deliberately go against the grain. This is all shared in love because I see where there can be mass deception on God's people carried out and many will fall away from the faith due to the innumerable amount of prophets out there with varying views.
Many people ask about the 'mark of the beast' after looking over this information the first time.
A physical mark of the beast: If it isn't of God, run from it. Period. Everyone arguing if something is THE mark or a pre-cursor...it doesn't matter. Neither would be from God, family.
Would they say it's ok to take the pre-cursor? That doesn't make sense and is double think, quite frankly.
Why would people take ANYTHING that even remotely looks like a physical mark of the beast?
My little blog site came to life when social media started censoring anyone questioning things. Welcome! God bless and keep you. May you all be blessed with the peace that surpasses all understanding. The peace of God.
The only thing I'm 100% confident in is Christ.
Anything else, the enemy can mimic or pervert...including bible prophecy, imho. So, I'm testing the tar out of some things. Which we were CLEARLY instructed to do by Jesus.
If you have anything to add to this topic, I'd love to see it. Post it below in the comments :)
I also put some realllly neat stuff down there, too.

Editing to add this comment for transparency and just to update because it seems this topic has grown quite a bit recently:
There is truly some neat physical evidence presented here, but I am not at a point to go much deeper down this hidden 1,000 years hole.
After I came across this information, I stumbled around for a bit. In circles, if you will.
Eventually, I felt led to get closer to the Father. To read His Word with fresh eyes from start to finish and not skipping around.
What's in this blog post and what is in the comment section is about as far as I got and I'm ok with that.
My prayer in reading the bible now....is that God will show me what's been fulfilled already. Of course, growing closer to Him is top of the list. But anything else He wants to show me so I can be a voice for my friends and family if and when the time comes, HERE I AM, LORD. USE ME for Your honor and glory.
Also praying for Him to help me in my reading to know which prophetic parallels and types and shadows are REAL and not man made teachings to facilitate or justify a doctrine or timeline that may not be biblical, but false teachings.
Please check out things shared
in the comment section below.
I share neat things down there when I come across info relating to the topic.
