Preface
A WORD of PREPARATION
I DON’T USUALLY WRITE prefaces. But I must do so here. A word of preparation is
needed. The Paradigm is of such an explosive nature, its revelations so specific
and so connected to specific figures and events of our times and to such highly
charged subjects and concerning the powers that be, that its intent can easily be
misinterpreted and its purpose misperceived. Thus what I write here I will echo
in the book. It is important enough to be stated more than once.
The Paradigm is not directed against any person or persons. As much as it
touches on any figures in the modern world, they are cited as part of letting the
chips fall where they may according to the unfolding of the mystery. And so
while it will speak of world figures, it will not ultimately be about them. Its
ultimate focus will be the larger picture that involves an entire nation and
civilization. The importance of the figures involved is in the roles they’ve played
in that larger picture and in the unfolding of the ancient template.
The Paradigm is, above all, the revealing of a mystery, a blueprint, an ancient
paradigm, that uncannily and amazingly has everything to do with our times.
It is also the revealing of a warning to a nation and a civilization concerning
its present course and the ultimate end of that course.
As far as the figures cited, there is no place in God’s kingdom for malice, only
love. We are charged to oppose what is wrong but to love all, even those
engaged in what is wrong. There is only one right response and action—to love
them, to pray for them, and to speak truth in love. None of those involved in the
replaying of the ancient template had any idea of any connection or mystery.
Rather, they have acted without knowing.
Though the book will deal with the political realm and many other realms, it is
not political but spiritual and prophetic. If one is to see its revelations, one must,
before going forward, put away all preconceptions and presumptions, all politics
and related opinions and judgments. One must approach it with complete
openness, especially if one is unfamiliar with or alien to that which is scriptural.
One can, of course, take them up again at the end, but it is crucial that such
One can, of course, take them up again at the end, but it is crucial that such
things be put aside for now, at the outset—if one is to comprehend the mystery.
The paradigm will contain and display unique dynamics and amazing
properties. One could seek to explain away a few facts, but what we are about to
open up will not be a matter of a few facts, or even several facts. It will be
overwhelming in its scope, in its breadth, in its consistency, and in the
magnitude of its details. It is something no human being could have orchestrated
or woven together.
I pray, above all, that God will use this book to accomplish His purposes,
prophetically and sovereignly, for awakening, for illuminating, for empowering,
for encouraging, for turning, for restoring, for reviving, for saving, and for such
a time as this.
Chapter 1
The MASTER BLUEPRINT
• Is it possible that there exists a master blueprint, a paradigm, that lies behind
the events of the modern world?
the events of the modern world?
• Is it possible that this blueprint originated in ancient times and yet reveals
the events of the twenty-first century?
• Could this blueprint foretell the rise and fall of modern leaders and
governments?
• Could events that took place nearly three thousand years ago now be
determining the course of our world and with it the course of our lives?
• Could this mystery reveal not only the events of the modern world but the
timing of those events—revealing the year when an event is to take place
and in some cases pinpointing the exact date—and in at least one case even
the exact hour?
• Could a template of the ancient Middle East even foretell the outcome of a
presidential election?
• Could the ancient figures within the paradigm hold the keys and mysteries
behind the rulers and leaders of modern times, with each modern figure
having an ancient prototype and each ancient figure having a modern
antitype?
• Could it give the exact parameters of time that modern world leaders are
allotted to remain on the national and world stage?
• Is it possible that we are all part of the replaying of the mystery?
• And what would happen if we were able to uncover the paradigm and open
up the master blueprint?
• What would it reveal to us, or warn us of, concerning our future?
THIS BOOK WILL be the uncovering and opening up of the master blueprint, the
mystery that came into being ages before the people it concerns were born and
millennia before the events it reveals took place. The template is objective and
fixed. It has no animus against anyone with whom it corresponds or involves.
Nor have I. If the paradigm concerned different peoples or powers, I still would
have written it. It is, above all, the unveiling of a mystery that has operated
behind and affected our lives and times. Any connection to any figure or event
of the modern world will be a matter of letting the chips of the ancient mystery
fall where they may. Because of its explosive nature I was tempted to hold back
from writing it. But because of its critical nature I could not hold back. For
contained in the mystery is not only a revelation but a critical warning.
The paradigm touches not only those in power but every life on this planet and
The paradigm touches not only those in power but every life on this planet and
every realm of life—from politics to spirituality, economics, history, law,
religion, culture, international relations, morality, even the course of nations.
Though it has touched or determined the realm of politics, that fact is incidental
to its ultimate concern, which is not political but something much larger. It is the
revelation of where we have been and where we are and a warning as to where
we are heading.
We must first identify and then open up the paradigm. To do that, we will
begin a journey of nearly three thousand years, from the sands of an arid Middle
Eastern landscape to the soil and streets of present-day America, from ancient
palaces to the White House. We will see ruthless kings and queens, mysterious
priests and priestesses, secrets and scandals, idols and gods, prophets and holy
men, signs, portents, wonders, and harbingers.
In the end we will see two mysteries interweave and coalesce, that of The
Paradigm with that of The Harbinger. For The Paradigm is the other dimension
and realm of The Harbinger. They each arise from the same ground. Each was
forged in the matrix of the same civilization. If The Harbinger opened up
prophetic revelations and warnings in the forms of specific objects and actions,
in The Paradigm it is the age itself that constitutes the prophetic revelation and
the times in which we live, the harbinger. In The Paradigm current events
become the manifestations of an ancient mystery.
We will see ancient monarchs and modern presidents merging together, the
reigns and actions of ancient kings governing the reigns and actions of modern
leaders, ancient scandals lying behind modern scandals, and the events of
ancient times determining the course, the direction, and the timing of the events
of the modern world.
And in all this we will see our days in a new light and from an eternal vantage
point.
With each of the paradigm’s mysteries, the revealing will take place in three
parts:
• The opening up of the ancient events
• The paradigm formed by those events
• The manifestation of the paradigm in the modern world
The paradigm itself will be distinguished by the fact that it will appear in
indented form in a box.
In order to open up the mystery, we must first lay the foundation. To uncover the
blueprint, we must go back to ancient times and to the land of the paradigm.
Chapter 2
METAMORPHOSIS
THE IDEA THAT there could exist a blueprint from ancient times in which are
contained and revealed the events of the modern world, even the timing of those
events, and the people who would take part in those events sounds, of course,
too incredible to be true.
But what if it were true? What if it reveals all this as well as the course we are
presently on, the ultimate end of that course, and a warning concerning the
future? If such a thing existed, we would want to know it and could not afford
not to know it.
In this chapter we will set the stage of the mystery of the paradigm, a mystery
that begins almost three thousand years ago.
The Paradigm
What exactly is a paradigm?
A paradigm is defined as a pattern, a model, a template, a prototype, an
exemplar, an archetype.
Paradigms appear throughout the Bible. On Mount Sinai, Moses was given a
pattern, or paradigm, from which to build the ark of the covenant and the Tent of
God’s Presence. So too there was a paradigm, or blueprint, for the building of
the Temple of Jerusalem in later days. But other paradigms and other kinds of
paradigms appear in the Scriptures as well.
The prophets used paradigms. They performed prophetic acts, or acts of
prophetic symbolism, the tearing of a robe, the breaking of a clay jar, the
burying of a deed in the ground. These were prophetic paradigms, models of
events yet to come. The tearing of the robe would foretell the tearing away of a
kingdom from its king; the breaking of the jar, the destruction of a city; and the
burying of the deed, the restoration of a nation.
Paradigms appear as well in the accounts of biblical characters—the life of the
patriarch Joseph, a man rejected by his brothers, falsely accused, and suffering
for the sins of others—yet ending up the savior of a nation—a foreshadow of the
coming Messiah. Beyond this, paradigms appear also in the biblical chronicles
of Israel’s history—patterns, warnings, and examples for generations yet to
come. Concerning this last realm, the apostle Paul wrote,
“Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition . . . ”1
In other words, events took place in ancient times to be recorded for the sake
of future generations, as revelations and warnings. In the phrase all these things
Paul is specifically referring to Israel’s ancient apostasy, its falling away from
God, its embracing of immorality. It was all to serve as an example and warning
to future generations.
Behind the word example is the Greek tupos. It is from tupos that we get the
word type. The word can also be translated as pattern and model. The same
Greek word is used elsewhere in the New Testament to speak of the pattern, or
blueprint, Moses received on Mount Sinai. The word tupos can also be translated
as paradigm. Thus the passage could be rendered this way:
“Now all these things happened to them as paradigms, and they were written for our warning . . . ”
