Does it seem to you that some key parts of history are increasingly ‘repeating themselves’?
Are you perceiving any plausible correlations between the state of the world, and the challenges it faced during the first quarters of the 20th and 21st centuries??
Or does it seem like the whole world is turning upside-down and inside-out, with a blaring series of shocking reversals???
Governments, ideologies, and movements, once hailed as defenders of grace, truth, and justice, are now reversing course—sometimes violently so. The pressures of post-pandemic lifestyles are pushing more populations to hope for, and to demand strongman governments, even if they may not be democracies, as were once cherished. In their struggles to earn profits, corporations and companies are increasingly favoring AI agents, over competent, loyal employees, including at higher levels of their operations. Many economies across the world have yet to rebound from the severe stresses of the Covid pandemic. Some nations’ post-pandemic health care systems are cutting significant corners in order to deal with increasing funding shortages in the face of mounting patient demands. Global armaments production is spiking like crazy, in response to increasing numbers of post-pandemic conflicts and wars. 1
When globally comparing the first quarters of the 20th and 21st centuries, consider these categories:
1. Political instabilities,
2. Stock markets booms and busts/crashes,
3. Economic recessions, depressions, and global trade patterns,
4. Wars and armaments production,
5. Pandemics and wide-spread epidemics,
6. The rise of fascism, communism, and preferences for strongman governments
7. Broad social unrest, racial discriminations, and global migration patterns
My objective is not to do a ‘then’ and ‘now’ review of any specific issues between these two periods. Rather, it is to raise the prospect of both some repetitive patterns, as well as some shocking reversals between these two time periods. If interested, task your favorite AI app to summarize comparisons of these categories between the first quarters of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Typically, we tend to label perceived repetitive patterns as ‘history just repeating itself’. It’s a common expression with which many of us have likely become comfortable. Thus, we may pay little attention when we see or hear about such patterns. But we very likely have a totally different reactions to glaring shocking reversals! They tend to shock us out of our ‘comfortable expectations zones!’
As a strategic student of The Bible since 2005, I have learned to regard repetitive patterns, not as ‘history just repeating itself’, but as humans falling for the same old devilish deceptions and temptations that our ancestors blindly or willingly fell for. That’s the result of our collective spiritual ignorance, our imperceptivity to untoward spiritual forces, and our strong proclivity to sinfulness. Now, I am learning to regard glaring shocking reversals as significant, strategic, spiritual shifts across a community, region, nation, or the whole world—shifts that also have, at their roots, unperceived spiritual agents, but this time, both holy and un-. 2
Devils and demons are ‘good at their game’. Since Adam, they have studied and learned humans exceptionally well. They have well developed their ‘satanic statecraft’, expertly leveraging our disbelief about, and ignorance of them, to their FULL advantage, age, after age of human history. Moreover, since The Bible has been completed, well preserved, and broadly dispersed across the whole world, they KNOW increasing numbers of us are becoming spiritually alive and alert to both their, and especially The Lord’s, strategic objectives, long-term strategies, and tactics. As a result, they, no doubt, realized the need to ‘step up their game’ significantly, since the 1st century AD—the start of this current 3rd age of our history. Since then, I believe the increased frequencies and intensities of so-called ‘history repeating itself’, might well be the results of satan’s crew doing exactly that—'stepping up their game!’ I also perceive it wasn’t merely a one-time thing!
Here’s why…
Stay tuned for Part 2

1 Imagine this…If, as I perceive, we may be close to the next, predicted historical age-transition (from this 3rd-to the-4th age of history), then the armaments being produced today, might realistically be those that will be involved in either or both:
o the 1st War of Gog and Magog (See: First Ukraine, then Israel’s Terrain? and Ezekiel 38), and
o the Armageddon War at the end of the short ~7-year, 4th age—the tribulation age!
2 The Bible has countless examples in which Heaven strategically planned and executed shocking reversals in human affairs in order to achieve its strategic plans. Think… the exodus, the fall of Jericho, the Assyrian and Babylonian invasions and capture of Israel and Judah, the timely release of Judeans from Babylonian captivity, the resurrection of Jesus exactly as He had predicted, the failed attempt to boil Apostle John alive in oil, etc. Future shocking reversals include the 1st War of Gog and Magog, the Armageddon War, the Millennial Reign and post-Millennial Reign ages, and the resurrection of the twin spirit and soul every dead unrepentant sinner, as fully tripartite and sentient immortal beings (spirit, soul and body), from hell’s temporary fires, to be judged, and then cast into the much worse, (bigger, hotter, more crowded??) permanent fires of eternal lake of fire, possibly somewhere (the entire southern hemisphere??) on the new, eternal Earth! Selah…
