Bible Clocks

This blog reintroduces Bible Clocks, especially the story of the inspired Prime Meridian. That line has bearing on modern political events. The blog ends with some comments on the Tucker/Putin interview.

Setting Calendars

Calendars themselves are just counts of days, so the definition of all calendar days depends on a reference clock. Informally, a clock can be set anywhere by observation of the sun overhead. But, once we are into prophetic time, there should be a reference prophetic clock, set somewhere on Earth, that sets the exact timing of the day breaks in that prophetic calendar.

Temple Mount

So when I started this work years ago I used Temple Mount in Jerusalem as the location for the reference clock. This worked good enough, and sets the day break at sunset in Jerusalem. Events with time-of-day accuracy, like the collapse of the twin towers, align roughly at that day break. So the use of the Temple Mount location seemed to be OK.

About 2 years ago I was back into the clock code and set a different reference location. In that revision, I set the location of the reference clock at the well at Shechem. This was better.

The general reason this is better is because that well is a precisely located spot near Ebal and Gerizim. References to that well even go back to Jacob's time. Those mountains are where the stone monument was carved. It was the location where the tribes assembled. This, by the way, even after the death of Solomon.

My sense of how bad Jerusalem was for setting the clock has grown. As I have shared here recently, the stories at the end of Judges indicate that Jebus, the original name of Jerusalem, was a pagan city for several centuries back to the time of the Exodus. (And by extension, has always been pagan, it even remains so now.) So Jerusalem is a very poor choice, not just a bad choice, for setting the reference clock.

So moving away from Jerusalem to Shechem was in the right direction. But, there is an even better place for setting the reference prophetic clock. That location for setting is even directly called out in the text. Let me explain.

Bible Clocks (bibleclocks.org)

Bible Clocks was a spin-off website from Bible Time. It was once a tab on that first website. The purpose of Bible Clocks was to explain how hours of the day are measured in the text and the reference location where the prophetic clock should be set. It was never really finished. Content was pulled years ago. But, we kept the domain registered.

So about 6 weeks ago I had a very strong waking vision for getting Bible Clocks back online. The link here is to the front page of that rebuilt website. I have not yet touched the old front page. This BibleClocks.org domain has been actively served from our server for about 2 weeks. I am updating that website with its first real set of articles as this blog goes out.

My first goal was just to get the content of that domain restored. I checked our revision control system and found the 2 articles that had lived there in the past. This includes the front page and another article with pictures of Ryan and I at a farmers market where we had sold home made Bible Clocks. That was in 2006, a long time ago in terms of our changed understanding.

I have left that article with a show link in the footer just for the fun of it.

These days there are such things as 3d printers so Bible Clocks as actual devices make more sense than they did back then. We were buying regular clocks and refacing them. So our cost of supplies about matched what we could sell them for. It was never possible to make a great business of them. But it was fun interaction with interesting people. We learned much just in those interactions.

History Tab

The morning I woke up, knowing I needed to do this, I also had a list of articles that needed to be on that site. I have been writing them and adding them in order to fill in various lessons involving clocks. The history tab on that site is where you can find most of those articles. There are currently 13 articles under that tab. There is another still planned.

The purpose of those articles is varied. Some just deal with ancient devices for telling time. Most deal with the development of the systems that we use to tell time today. Basically, how does your cell phone know what time it is? Why?

Turns out modern time keeping is far removed from the time indicated on a sundial. One of the articles has a video of a visitor to a big sundial in North Carolina. He checks the time on the sundial against his phone. He is shocked by the difference.

That particular list of articles kept coming at me. As I would finish a few articles, then I would realize I needed a few more. It has been a prophetic wave in this strange dusty corner of our normal family of projects.

Writing Style

I am not trying to be exhaustive on the topic of the development of modern time keeping. Wikipedia does a good job of that, to a level of detail far beyond what I need to cover for our normal prophetic purposes.

I am also not making an argument, so the writing style is mostly informal. I have tried to include videos that show off various aspects of this story. Videos are as easy as photos. With videos the various topics can come to life. So my writing style is different than in other areas of our work. I have not yet done a very careful re-read, as I normally do after articles like these have been online for a month or more, so this is cutting edge to even unveil in this blog.

But, I am trying to point out the decisions made in the modern era. So how does modern planetary time keeping work? Especially important is how our modern time systems abstract away time keeping from the reality of time on the ground. We do live in an empire of lies, and time keeping is one of them.

Perhaps the most important topic in the history of the development of modern time systems is the establishment of the Prime Meridian. There is a whole history involved in that for modern time systems and modern map making. The Prime Meridian is used for both purposes. In the modern world it is a north-south line that passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, very close to London. In the article on Bible Clocks there is a walking tour of that place so you can understand it in a visceral way.

Prime Meridian

The articles on Bible Clocks go into the details, but the key components of setting a reference clock are tied to a reference line that divides east from west. At that line, when the sun is directly overhead, the clock is then set to indicate that exact time as noon.

Once the modern world was developed enough, there was a Prime Meridian conference held in Washington DC in 1884. That conference called for use of a planetary reference clock and that it should be set at a planetary map reference location.

Basically, they called for a Meridian Zero, to be set at Greenwich Observatory near London. This location was set as a practical matter because most of the nautical charts then available were drawn by the Royal Navy and they had previously set their Prime Meridian at that same location.

Once I had written most of the new History Tab articles, including the article on the modern Prime Meridian, I then knew what I was looking for in the text.

I needed to find a story somewhere that called out the inspired Prime Meridian. That location sets the reference clock for Earth and all prophetic history. I found the inspired Prime Meridian described in Matthew 4.

Matthew 4 (BRB)

The link here is to Matthew 4 in the BRB. Pay attention to verses 13 through 16. This is the story of Joshua moving from his childhood home town of Nazareth, where he grew up, to Capernaum. This is on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee.

Within this passage is a quote out of Isaiah 9. That quote involves 3 important features. The first thing to note, 1) there is a border between 2 territories, Zebulun and Naphtali.

This is a line on the ground dividing east and west. Those tribal zones appear to have intersected the north shore of the Sea of Galilee. This is a non technical way to call out the inspired Prime Meridian.

That passage also calls out 2) seeing a great light. The sun is the greatest of all lights known on Earth. That already bright light is greatest only at noon. This is also calling out the main feature of the inspired Prime Meridian. This place measures the sun when it is highest overhead.

Finally, 3) this passage calls out the Jordan River. This is curious because Capernaum is not on that river. The outlet of the Sea of Galilee is across that sea on the south side, opposite from Capernaum.

But, consider the Jordan River valley itself as roughly aligned on that Meridian. When Joshua son of Nun lead the heirs of Jacob across the Jordan they were effectively crossing that same meridian. They were moving from east to west.

Note how this story in Matthew 4 is NOT using modern technical terms. There is no vocabulary word for 'meridian' or 'clock.' How could there be? Any such technical term would be confusing to generations and peoples without the shared technology of clocks and map making.

Reference Clock

This passage in Matthew is indicating that Joshua selected Capernaum as his base of operation because it was on the inspired Prime Meridian. This location was much more important than Jerusalem.

I have adjusted the code library to set the prophetic clock to the location of the remains of Peter's House at Capernaum. This is not a huge difference in time from Shechem nor Temple Mount, but it does finally set that prophetic clock correctly. I will roll out that code change at some point in the future, when we start caring about hour of the day prophetic accuracy.

Tabernacle Items

I do have some 3d printable clock designs. Once I am back in the shop and have test printed those designs, they will be added to a tab on Bible Clocks.

That website may have a few other clock face and case variations, but the core idea is that the text is calling out the Prime Meridian at Capernaum where Joshua set up a copy of the Tabernacle items in his day.

I take this strange study to indicate something important about that set of Tabernacle items. All places were sets of Tabernacle items are setup should also have a clock set to the current time at Capernaum. Why? Because the prophetic calendar advances as that clock advances.

Said another way, the planetary reference clock is always available for inspection whenever people of faith gather with the other Tabernacle items. This timekeeping tabernacle item indicates the current time in that special location. Thus anyone using the other items to understand prophecy can know exactly when to advance any prophetic calendar or prophetic timeline.

Likely, some of Ezekiel's visions are of that reference clock. I expect the inspired form to be different than modern clock faces. If you know what a "wandering dial" clock is you are probably closer to an inspired form.

I trust the prophetic flow will continue for that website when it comes time to work out the correct 3d designs for the clock faces. I suspect Ezekiel's wheel within a wheel is a clock combined with a perpetual calendar. We will see.

Map Making

If the inspired Prime Meridian is a line between Zebulun and Naphtali that splits the house in Capernaum, then that line is also the center line for all of Earth's inspired maps.

East and west, as general concepts, must spread out from that line. Those concepts divide the Earth into east and west. So the tribe of Joseph heads generally west. The tribe of Judah heads generally east.

Those 2 tribes must meet again on the opposite side of the world. So learning the inspired Prime Meridian was a precondition for understanding better the interaction between Joseph and Judah. We saw a huge important example of that this past week with the Putin interview.

Anti Meridian

The Prime Meridian conference also called out how the reference clock related to a reference calendar day. Midnight was set as the point in time when the reference planetary calendars should switch calendar days. This is not the inspired pattern. Even astronomers of the time had to switch from using Noon at Greenwich as the calendar day break to using midnight.

Midnight, though was interesting to them because there must be a line that marks midnight at the opposite side of the globe when noon is happening above the Prime Meridian.

In the modern case, the line at the opposite side of the Earth from the Prime Meridian is called the International Date Line. This is where east and west meet again on the other, far, side of the globe. There is an article on Bible Clocks that shows the map for that line if you care to look at it.

There is an evident problem with that line. It cuts across Siberia and then it cuts down through various island nations in the Pacific Ocean. Having day-time date shifts is an awkward fact of the calendar. It must happen somewhere.

Modern political entities fix this problem by shifting away from the actual anti meridian. First, the date line is shifted east and drawn down through the Bering Strait. Then, that line jogs around some, but not all, of the various Pacific Island nations.

Inspired Anti Meridian

If Capernaum is the inspired Prime Meridian, where does inspired east and west meet up? Where is the inspired anti meridian? Where is the inspired date line? Where does east meet west on the back side of the Earth?

You probably already know that line. Within about 3 degrees of error, the line you know is the 141st meridian west. Where is that? The vertical international border line between Alaska and Canada. That line has an important prophetic meaning, as I will show you below.

But first, if you look down that line to Antarctica, you will note that it does not cut apart any island nations in the Pacific Ocean. You will also note that Hawaii would be completely in the eastern half of the inspired map of the globe. This, of course, along with all the other Pacific Island nations. None of the peoples who live in the Pacific would be divided from each other by the date line. They would all be eastern peoples.

Alaska Boundary (Wikipedia)

The history of setting the boundary of Alaska is interesting. The link here is to a Wikipedia article on the details. The vertical line we see on modern maps was set by treaty between Britain and Russia, signed in 1825. This is when that 141st meridian was chosen.

The rest of the border, around what is now the Alaska Pan Handle, was set later, in 1903, between the US and UK.

Tribal Border

Think about that Alaska border in a tribal sense. The ancient Lost Tribe of Judah was sent east. The ancient lost tribe of Joseph was sent west. Those 2 tribes must meet up at the back side of the world.

Russia was the original colonial rulers over Alaska. Russia is the Lost Tribe of Judah. Alaska was originally Russian territory. It was sold to the United States because the Russian government did not want to spend the funds needed to defend it. The United States sits under Joseph as a western nation, not an eastern nation.

Judah went east while Joseph went west. Those 2 tribes should meet at the opposite side of the Earth from Capernaum. They did meet, about what is now the border between Alaska and Canada.

Knowing the prophetic purpose of that line, there may be future prophetic bearing on Alaska. Maybe someday Joshua will restore prophetic east/west balance to the globe. We will see.

When that Bible Clocks prophetic wave first hit there was no indication that Putin was going to appear on the world stage. Nor was there any indication that we were about to get an education in the differences between east and west.

Tucker And Putin (youtube)

I trust most readers here have watched Tucker Carlson's interview with Russia's president Putin. If not the link here is to that interview on Tucker's Youtube channel.

In previous blogs I have given links to interviews with Putin because he is such an important person prophetically. He is at least a type of prophetic Moses, if not an actual prophetic Moses.

By now, maybe 10 days out, there have been well over 200M views of this prophetic Moses speaking through Tucker to Prophetic Pharaoh. The rest of Pharaoh's slaves, 200M+, got to watch Moses at his best.

That interview touched on so many prophetic topics that I doubt I have ever seen another 2 hours that touched more completely on the prophetic world we are now living in.

Tucker himself was unprepared for the caliber of Putin's thought processes and evidence. Tucker was unprepared for Putin's important use of the history of Russia for understanding events in Ukraine.

Putin's references to the Baptism of Russia marks the start of the 1000 year reign. So early on, Putin was into the prophetic nature of the events surrounding Ukraine. That 1000 year reign ended with the collapse of the USSR. We are now into the wars that follow.

I hope Tucker takes good care of the folio of documents that he was handed. They are priceless. Tucker needs to have them carefully translated and then made available in book form to his English speaking audiences.

Putin also referenced the formation of Russia in 862 and the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of that event in 1862. I recently added a King Manasseh article to the Manasseh tab on Bible Tribes. That article also references the same time, we know it as the US Civil War. That war was likely when the central bankers took over effective control of the US government. With those resources under their control they could then take over the rest of the world.

That chance 1862 reference by Putin himself has unlocked another series of very important prophetic dates. I had been hoping to share those in this blog, but I still have very much more work to fully unpack the prophetic context in which Putin is operating. Like Tucker, I too am unprepared for what Putin is doing.

The Question

If you did watch that interview, Putin defends Yeltsin who charged Putin with defending Russia. Here is my hunch which you can think about. Was Putin the singular responsible party for ridding Russia of western bankers? So ridding Russia of the tribal influence of Benjamin? Does Benjamin know this? Is this why western governments hate Putin so badly?

Do you think Putin might still be working on that same task? Russia is not safe from Benjamin nor his bankers until Benjamin's bankers do not exist. As Putin said, war does not matter, the land will heal.

There are many clues in that interview that suggest the answer to this question is yes. This is likely why Iran has access to Russia's hypersonic weapons.

That interview explains most of what we need to know about how prophetic Egypt is going to be burnt down. This Moses is Orthodox Christian, not Pharaoh's Zionist Christian. Neither are perfect, but only 1 appears outside of Benjamin. Only 1 appears willing to deal with Benjamin.

More Later,
