Introduction
The 3rd dimension is a
critical factor in the development and implementation of geopolitical and
geostrategic plans which among other things allow for performance measurement
on various metrics including but not limited to As-Is/To-Be differential and Expected/Observed
quotient. Time is even more critical in geopolitical scenario planning due to
its complexity that requires both quantitative and qualitative variables. The
issue that calls to mind is the basis on which reference time is selected. Various
states have reports and plans for 2020, 2030 and 2040. What do they mean and
what is the reference time or benchmark for the chosen dates? As part of our
expanding Geospirituality discourse, reference time from Christo-biblical
dimension will be explored including the currency of unfolding events in select
global hotspots.
Post-Reformation & Positivist
Imposition
500 years ago reformation in
Europe, the geopolitical centre of the western world at the time, opened up a
new vista which impacted significantly on substance, method and delivery of
knowledge. The most serious of outcomes is decoupling temporal and spiritual
issues, the Catholic Church from the State/Empire and empirical conclusion from
revelation/infused science. The decoupling was initiated by anti-Christian
forces. For knowledge, its creation and dissemination; the implication and
impact remains to the present. The reason for the decoupling remains at best puerile,
weak, regressive and unsubstantiated nevertheless weakens average mind.
Geopolitical and geostrategic
traditions share the same fate in structure, content and methodology. There is
hardly any plan or report open to considering deployment of Christo-biblical
data in its conclusion despite the fact that Europe is a primary beneficiary of
Christian spiritual advancement. It is the view of this paper that geopolitical
and geostrategic plans or conclusion devoid of Christo-biblical data are
sparse, bare and incomplete. Nevertheless these plans are strategic platforms
for protecting the integrity of populations, assets and governments within
defined borders including spaces subjected or subordinated to power projections.
The implication of reference time
becomes obvious in highly configured global geopolitical space where few of
these plans carry significant weight in terms of their independence. What is evident
is that many geopolitical plans and their reference times are dependent and
nested with few dominant geopolitical powers and or coupled with interlocking
network of sub-continental political and security plans. For examples NATO
countries cannot possess plans misaligned economically, militarily and
politically with United States strategic plans. Similar conclusions are
applicable in countries within Russia’s sphere of influence and those
interlocked with emerging Beijing Consensus.
Christo-Biblical Reference
Time
The currency of global affairs in
view of statecraft, geopolitics and geostrategy including power projection is
very fluid, unstable and highly charged. A consistent negative pattern emerged
in the West since the demise of USSR in 1991. These patterns include declining
economy, increase in triggering extra-territorial conflicts around the world,
deployment of collective fear from terrorism as statecraft tool, narrowing of
gaps between state and media, and decline of effective strategic leadership.
Above
all the post-WW2 governance style of democracy (of various persuasions) is
already in sharp decline in the Europe and North America. Destabilisation,
insecurity and uncertainty in and of states are common geopolitical staples
which are not taking place in a vacuum/isolation. Rather these geopolitical and
geoeconomic outcomes form part of an emerging trend of a meta-strategic
temporal consistency running for thousands of years based on Christo-biblical
source.
Importantly the meta-strategic
temporal structure is always interjected at various times in the life of the
world either with understanding or ignorance of political and economic leaders
of leading states/countries. Its consistency and dependability is unparalleled and
undisputable. However the current decade is set for a climax one more time as the
downward trend in politics, economy and security are moving in tandem with
serious geopolitical and geostrategic consequences. Of course man-made and natural
disasters of gigantic proportions have taken important positions in global
affairs in the last few decades.
2017
The year 2017 carries serious
geopolitical and geostrategic imports. It is a reference time per excellence
based on the meta-strategic temporal structure drawn from Christo-biblical
source. 2017 will be a convergence of many serious anniversaries that cannot be
ignored or that have been deliberately ignored especially in the Western
hemisphere. Each of these events has biblical reference(s) and possess room for
extrapolation in the view that occurrence of biblical events are not devoid of
latitudes. It is equally safe to state that current chaotic state of global
affairs runs in tandem with predicted models mapped out in Matthew 24:
2 – 14, Revelation 6: 2 - 8.
2017 will be the 500th
anniversary of Martin Luther’s rejection of Catholic Church authority with the
posting of his views in front of church doors in 1517. This act of defiance set
off a chain of events that reconfigured the geopolitical power structure of
Europe at the time and set a template that currently defines the world today.
The act added another scar on the bruised body of the Church (post-1054 schism) defined as Protestantism.
Some biblical scholars link this decision of 1517 to Revelation
8: 11. It is interesting that the theology of Protestantism (Sola Scriptura) is currently
facing serious internal contradictions/struggle that new geopolitical
reconfigurations are emerging with implications for many states.
2017 will also be 100 years since
Bolshevik communist Revolution made landfall in Russia with all the destructive
and regressive outcomes. The devastation wrought by this ugly monster set
another stage for annihilation of millions and another gobbling up of nations
by violence around the world. Communist revolutionaries’ vehement hatred and
vicious attack on Christianity is a principal pillar of their motivation. Wherever
communist revolution is successful Christians are annihilated and rivers of
blood flow endlessly. Biblical scholars have mapped Communism emergence &
its anti-Christian persecutions to Revelation
12: 3 -
4.
What is instructive is that this
revolution didn’t come out of the blue but is rather a deliberate geopolitical calculation
and geostrategy of death invested by Germany, UK and United States. This
narrative is contrary to dominant accounts imposed upon the commons. Lenin
received his millions from Germany in advance. The brunt of that revolution is
currently felt around the world as a transformation in ignorance. Its main
tenet of atheistic materialism has become global mainstream economic and social
policies with negative impacts on human life, family, relationships,
accumulation, economy & consumerism.
2017 will also be the 100th
anniversary of the apparition of Blessed Virgin Mary in Fatima Portugal. Biblical
scholars map the even on Revelation
12: 1. This is an impressive event in the life of the world because among other
things this august prophet of God predicted 1917 Russia Bolshevik communist
revolution before it took place. It was only a matter of months before Imperial
Russia gave way to the blood-thirsty revolutionaries who devoured a 3rd
of the world for more than 70 years.
This same apparition predicted
with accuracy the end of WW1 and start of WW2 on the condition that the world
stop anti-God and anti-human activities. She predicted that defiance of heaven
by man will usher in a new deadlier conflict and confirmed in advance with a
sign in northern hemisphere skies which took place on 25/01/1938. Interestingly
in the same 1938 Germany moved on Sudetenland, former Czechoslovakia and on
Poland in 1939 while Spain and Portugal were spared the deadly conflagration. Why
was Spain and Portugal spared?
Lastly 2017 will be the 70th
anniversary of the initiation of proceedings by the United Nations towards the creation
of Israel in Palestine. This is highly significant in geopolitical and
geostrategic terms. On this point hangs the veracity of previous examples and
anniversaries because of its uniqueness. Its Christo-biblical footprint is
indisputable because it was predicted at least over 2000 years in advance as
scholars mapped it on Daniel
9: 25, Matthew
24: 32 – 34.
It is the first time a nation
with clear territorial layout that lost her independence thousands of years hence
was restored compared the generalist comparisons of a world always in conflict
and in flux. The emergence of Israel following her 1947 pre-independence notice
at the world stage in the grand schemes of geopolitics calls for serious attention
and focus. More so the decade is already shaping up for important eschatological
events.
Russia’s formal military entrance
into the Arab world, an erstwhile US ‘backyard’ is significant and non-trivial
considering Russia’s longevity and relationship with Arab states. It is a first
and an evidence of US decline and formal eclipse of Arab world. Furthermore
latest Russia’s accurate and successful deployment of cruise missiles on Syrian
targets from medium sized vessel in Caspian Sea has serious geopolitical and
geostrategic implications at least for United States and for development of
blue water navy in general.
Therefore 2017 is shaping up for
bigger things and Christo-biblical data backs it up because of its
dependability, reliability and consistency.
Conclusion
As this decade continues to
display touches of flux and uncertainty, geopolitical and geostrategic planning
of countries will follow similar patterns. Stockpile of negative and regressive
outcomes indicate among other things dearth of ideas or refusal to confront new
realities constructively. In terms of reference time of current and new plans,
avoidance or deliberate refusal to consider Christo-biblical data and sources
may prove to be unwise and counter-productive especially for geopolitical
experts, geostrategists and geopolitical scenario planners of so-called
advanced countries.
