Introduction




Matthew 24 & 25 Poetic Meter

Meter Colour Legend:

  • Red underlined text: pronounce as one syllable (dipthong or elision)
  • Orange: numbers divisble by seven / counts are sevened factors AKA sevenings
  • Purple: factors of 3 / trinity metering
  • Pink: submeters / syllable count for the preceding phrase
  • Green: refers to anaphora / a keyword
  • Light green highlight: unmatched meter sums
  • 📝: memo emoji is used as a hyperlink for associated notes on the nearby word(s)

Luke 21 dateline meter plays on 28 (writing 28 years after Christ died, 35 years till pre-Church Mill) and 63 (= 28 + 35), since Christ spoke Matthew 24~25 and Luke 21 63 years before the pre-Church Mill (excluding the year He spoke). Luke and Paul play on 63, the first meter in Bible (Genesis 1). Luke thus uses 1085 meter (1050 + 35), same style (Luke was 35 years from Mill at writing, and Christ was 63).

Matthew 24~25 anaphora parse as separate clauses; seems like ὅτι, when present, ends the clause; ὅτι introduces content, bullet point to be made, as in legal English 'that:'

  • First occurrence of ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, is not counted. The anaphora count begins after it ends. Its 'map' is the Amen Anaphora.
  • Second or middle anaphora is 'roped', the count beginning at its own beginning, and ending at the end of the 'end' of the last anaphora.
  • Here, the 'middle' is at 1540 = 1570 AD, the beginning of the English Reformation. The 'roping' is an overlap of 430 syllables = years starting at 1110, and corresponds to the years Israel was in Egypt, Exodus 12:40-41. So an 'exodus' (of Bible, faith, freedom) seems depicted at the 1570 AD mark, which is the end of the third 490 after Christ's death, and is the second 70-year voting period (joining the two 490's in a 1050). You can see this in http://www.brainout.net/GeneYrs.xls . The 'map' overlap at 2006 (2036 AD), implies that Bible Freedom will be soon ending. Or something else spiritually bad.

This seems to be the chapter from which Paul draws his own anaphoric structure for Ephesians 1:3-14, which is also on the freeing of the Bible, the epainon anaphora from syllables = AD years 133-434, explained on pages 128ff. Paul uses the same roping style as here in Matthew, though Paul's epainon anaphora only occurs three times. Paul's middle is 320-334 (syllable = AD year), centering on Constantine, the precursor of Revelation 17 harlot political Christianity we see exhibited through MAGA and Christian Nationalism.

Here in Matthew, the phrase ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, anaphora occurs three times per chapter. Syllable/year counts between these phrases, are in trinity or sevening meter. Seven means promise, and three stresses the agreement of trinity on whatever is tri-metered (idea of Them watching it, protecting, etc).

If you subtract 63 (ending first use of ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, in Matthew 24:2) from the 1540 count in Matthew 24:47, result is you get 1477 = 211 sevens. Notice therefore the overlap 'in the middle', from 1110 to 1540 (1140 ~ 1570 AD). That period of then-future history is stressed as a turning point, so you know what the Lord is mapping in this timeline: Bible interest causing history for the better (orange differentials under 105), or worse (no orange or only rare orange, so only few individuals are growing). It serves to explain why the rapture doesn't happen; with the text serving, as well as the 'normal' meaning, to satirically comment on the history of Church apostasy worldwide, that year. For example, our '2017' = 1987 (convert to AD by adding 30 to the syllable count). What's that syllable? Matthew 25:11, foolish virgins clamour Lord Lord let us in!

Greek text used includes CNTTS Greek variants.

Poetic Meter has doctrinal meaning, the following individual or group factors. Meanings so far:

  • 7 means promise and tribulation-quality (much suffering to grow).
  • 14 means double trouble.
  • 21 means the number of years Jacob indentured himself with Laban, so comes to mean growth often under unfair authority.
  • 28 means 21 + 7.
  • 35 means God's vote, waiting for man's vote (total equals 70, so it's something of a pun). Isaiah 53 used the meter this way to 'package' his matching paragraphs to Psalm 90.
  • 42 means double growth, 21 x 2.
  • 49 means Diaspora, missed sabbatical years; Daniel prays at the start of 49th year 1st temple down (as per his meter), for its restoration. So this comes to mean severe apostasy.
  • 56 means the 49 + extra 7 years due on that added 49 which also got missed. Comes to mean danger of voting short. Thus tribulation is a hanging chad, 69 sevens in Daniel 9:26; the missed time couldn't be made up until Messiah came, and He was scheduled to die age 40, 1000 years after David died. But He died 7 years early, which this Matthew 24 ~ 25 meter, stresses. The chapter(s) is a type of dying blessing, much like Genesis 49 was from Jacob (where the blessor foretells the future). Like Isaac had done (when he thought he was dying, but didn't) to Jacob and Esau (Genesis 27:19ff).
  • 63 means Vote Short, the missing 7 wasn't/won't be made up. Pointed here in Matthew 24; His due-7 will be spent taking down the Temple, 33 - 40 years after He dies.
  • 70 means voting period, 490 + 70 + 490 = 1000 + 50, to harvest the Gentiles, with the 70 'paying' for the 50 (hence the severe requirement for sabbatical years). Jacob spent 70 years after returning to the Land, before entering Egypt. The math of the 70 'paying' for the 50, is in Ten Ways this Timeline Differs.
  • 77 means David's age at death (idea of completing God's purpose for one's life). 1 Kings 6:1 in context from 2:39 and 1 Chronicles 22 tells you that, but scholars use Josephus. Isaiah 53 uses the 77 in his meter, since its theme is First David to Last David.
  • 84 means God's Decree given but not yet completed, first used by Moses in Psalm 90:4. Isaiah splits the 84 into 42's to begin and end his Chapter 53.
  • 91 means Lord's 91st year, when the tribulation was supposed to start, pre-Church. So means 'season', which Paul uses in Ephesians' 1:3-14 meter.
  • 98 means Lord's 98th year, when the tribulation was supposed to end and the millennium begins, pre-Church. Shorthand for millennium.
  • 105 means 98 + 7, balance to Jacob's birth 2106 from Adam's fall (Lord was initially supposed to be born 2000 years later), so it's a balance to Jacob.
  • 126 means 70 + 56, doom time, which Isaiah 53 used equidistantly: he wrote 126 years before the 1st temple would go down, and it would go down with 126 years left on its 490-year time grant, hence Daniel 9:26 re-credits that lost time (49 + 70 + reimburse the 364 temple standing years = the 69 weeks in Daniel 9:26, with 7 left on the 126 for Daniel 9:27).
  • 308 means Noah's time in Ark from entry to his 601st birthday. Details are at How God Orchestrates Time.
  • 364 means Noah's time in Ark and first temple standing time.
  • 430 means the time Israel was in Egypt, Exodus 12:40-41 (390 in slavery +10 slavery years for Joseph, so the first 40 years in Egypt were nice).
  • 434 means 364 + 70.
  • 490 means the time grant to someone supermaturing within a historical 490 (else time ends for the world), starting with Adam's fall.
  • 560 means 490 + 70: not only did someone supermature, but at least one person voted to learn God during the 70 period (Noah, Moses, refer to GeneYrs.xls).
  • 1050 means 490 + 70 + 490, the basic civilization unit, which is also 1000 + 50. Two each were promised, first to non-Jews (Adam until Abram), then Jews (Abraham in 2046 supermatured, through the death of Christ, originally scheduled for 4146, but truncated to 4143, the earlier rule of 1000 years after David's death; He actually dies two months after speaking here, in 4136 from Adam's fall, rounded to 4137 in the meter counts using the civil year, which began just over 6 months prior). Talmud Sanhedrin 97-99 is a distorted version of this provision (or shorthand, excluding the extra 50's). Here in Matthew 24 ~ 25, is likely the source of the Messiah 2000, since the Old Testament scheduled the millennium to begin at 4200 (Psalm 90's meter). Here, Christ extends the timeline longer than the Old Testament did. Book of Enoch is also likely also a deformed version of Matthew 24 ~ 25, therefore not written by the 'Enoch' in the Old Testament.

Notes

Remember: add 30 to the cumulative totals, to convert the integers to 'our' AD.

There is a doctrine pan-Bible, unknown to scholars, that God grants specific amounts time for spiritual growth. Jews used to know this, it's reflected in Talmud Sanhedrin 97-99; alas no one consulted them, lo these many millennia. Not to worry, the Bible validates and elaborates on that doctrine, to wit: Messiah's coming was timed to the very day, long in advance, and Israel was charged with tracking the time to His arrival. This tracking is explicit in the verse text, and explicit in the meter -- syllable counting of one solar year per syllable, since the Jews were commanded to memorize scripture. The counts interact with the text to make the text easier to understand, even vivid. 490 + 70 + 490 = 1050 civilization unit benchmarks in the meter, starting in Genesis 1, were soon learned.

In the process, Israel overspent their 2100-year time allotment, such that 14 years remained to be paid -- 7 of which were allotted to Messiah's time assuming He'd live the 40 years allotted to Him. But He was crucified 7 years early, so that 14 at the time of His Death, is still owed. The Millennium at that time was scheduled to start 63 years later, forecast ever since Moses with some adjustments as Israel made up for or incurred more lost time -- but now that Israel rejected Him, a new 1050 must go to the Gentiles, a kind of bridge, with Church as the bride Israel refused to be. So that 14-7 years owed Israel, gets spent in Church. Leaving the tribulation: if the Church, too, doesn't become so apostate it must rapture at the wrong time.

If instead the Church completes at the right time, the tribulation will resume and the remaining time debt will be paid off, then 1050 of the millennium will begin. But now, when? No one knows. So if the rapture does not happen, how will believers continue to know what time it is? Answer: this prophecy for the world, how Church will go salty or saltless, and Bible freed up (hence prosperity) or kidnapped due to low interest (hence adversity)... year by year through 3243 AD. After that, all bets are off.

If the rapture happens, whatever time remains in this prophecy might well apply to the millennium and beyond, or it gets truncated. Point is, you'll know what time it is, for your time.

Amen legw humin anaphora Judgment

Matthew 24:2: amen legw humin, syllables 58-63, sevens within itself and to verse 2 Blepw at 58-51; spans 88 ~ 93 AD. The time when Domitian persecuted Jews, and when John was exiled to Patmos. The persecution was mostly to get money or to be seen as faithful to Rome. It wasn't expressly anti-Christian, but empire-wide, some used the mime plays lewdly mocking Christians then, to excuse, maltreating Christians, much the same as Trump voters maltreat Muslims or people of colour.

Matthew 24:34: amen legw humin, syllables 1111-1116 or 1118 (could place hoti on next line, as Codex Bezae for Mark 13), sevens to verse 33 idete at 1090-1111; spans 1141 ~ 1148 AD. Christians were expecting Christ's return at the wrong time, so this period registers their attempt to reconcile the fact the rapture/second advent did not happen as wrongly expected.

Matthew 24:47: amen legw humin, syllables 1533-40, sevens from 1538-1118 and to verse 44 ho huios at 1533-1456; spans 1563 ~ 1570 AD. Reformation and impetus for English reformation, which is the central anaphora. This especially matters due to the Adamic 1540 voting period which began 1570 AD, same year as English reformation. So literally the world hung on the outcome of this period, whether Bible would finally free up for the common man, first time since the cross. Nexus is a pair: between English reformation here, and our own time in 2030 - 41 AD = anaphoric center. Two anaphora precede and two succeed Matthew 25:12, next.

Matthew 25:12: amen legw humin, syllables 2001-6, sevens from hoti at 2000-1538 and to verse 12 apokritheis at 2006-1999; spans 2031 ~ 2036 AD. Notice it starts the year after the 2000th anniversary of Christ's death (per errant but used by scholars, Roman AUC by Varro/Dionysius Exiguus). Basic character: second reformation, to further what didn't get fixed prior. Specifically, more manuscript discovery needed, too many false doctrines didn't get fixed, Gospel essentially lost again despite widespread clear Bible, too much Popism by the Protestants as well, etc. Closest, nonetheless, to the Deuteronomy 6 and 30 conditions where everyone was supposed to have Bible in the head, promise of Jeremiah 31:31-34 in progress as per Hebrews 8:8-12.

Matthew 25:40: amen legw humin, syllables 2954-9, sevens at 2953-2001, and to verse 40 apokritheis at 2959-2945 (roping to the nearer keyword ho Basileus); spans 2984 ~ 2989 AD. Whatever this period signifies, it depends on 'our' time now; note distance is doubled vs English reformation-our own time. That implies either a second reformation from now through 2041 will be so productive, another such period won't be needed for nearly 1000 years; or conversely, outcome will be dark. Given 2/3rds productive believer text in Matthew 25:13ff, the former seems more indicated.

Matthew 25:45: amen legw humin, syllables 3158-63, sevens at 3157-2954 and to verse 45 apokritheis at 3163-3149 (implying there should be hiatus); spans 3188 ~ 3193 AD. Notice the distance between this last amen and the one prior, is half the distance, vs ours back to the English reformation. So again, time from English reformation to now, is of central import, to the future.


Apokritheis (answering as a ruling) Anaphora keyword

Matthew 24:2: apokritheis, syllables 42-5, sevens to verse 1 ho Iesous at 42-7; spans 72 ~ 75 AD. Masada and other Jerusalem destruction aftermath.

Matthew 24:4: apokritheis, syllables 149-152, distance sevens at 42-147 (implies krasis needed in verse 4), spans 179 ~ 182 AD. Changeover to Commodus, which for Christians and Jews was a reprieve of sorts. The Rome-First stress under Pius and Aurelius, brought with it an 'enthusiasm' for targeting Christians, and the latter's arrogant rebuffs. This is the start of Christian institutionalisation, i.e., when Christianity started to politicize and terrorize its own. These are Commodus' good years, measured from when Aurelius became ill.

Matthew 25:9: apokritheis, syllables 1885-9, sevens at 1885-149, spans 1915 ~ 1919 AD. World War I (fiscal year Christ uses might be vernal equinox so for our purposes the years are later).

Matthew 25:12: apokritheis, syllables 1995-8, sevens at 1998-1886, spans 2025 ~2028 AD. Given the foregoing, this period should be one of intense upheaval, even leading to war. We're in about the same fragile psychological situation now, as was Europe just before Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, tangled alliances, especially Russian and Chinese 'deals' globally.

Matthew 25:26: apokritheis, syllables 2454-7, sevens at 2457-1995, spans 2484 ~ 2487 AD.

Matthew 25:37: apokritheis, syllables 2856-61, sevens at 2856-2457, spans 2886 ~ 2891 AD.

Matthew 25:40: apokritheis, syllables 2941-44, sevens at 2941-2856, spans 2971 ~ 2974 AD.

Matthew 25:44: apokritheis, syllables 3097-102, sevens at 3102-2941, spans 3127 ~ 3132 AD.

Matthew 25:45: apokritheis, syllables 3148-53, sevens at 3153-3097, spans 3178 ~ 3183 AD.


Blepw/horaw Anaphora
(satire on seeing, they don't see)

Matthew 24:2: Blepw/horaw, syllables 51-3, sevens to apokritheis in verse 2 at 53-46 (implies latter should not be elided); spans 81-3 AD. Start of Domitian. Matthew uses blepw satirically, to mark emperor death; here, Titus in '81. Ephesians 1, Luke, Mark and Revelation do the same, but not always with the same keyword (Mark and Revelation often use kai to play on kaiser cut off, Paul selects the eta in thelematos).

Matthew 24:4: Blepw/horaw, syllables 160-2, sevens at 159-54, spans 190 ~ 192 AD. End of Commodus, and of course he too dies end 192. Yikes. This is when apostate Christianity normalizes.

Matthew 24:6: Blepw/horaw, syllables 219-21, sevens at 219-163, spans 249 ~ 251 AD. Seven emperors came and went during these three years, known as 'Crisis of the Third Century'.

Matthew 24:15: Blepw/horaw, syllables 459-61, sevens at 459-221, spans 489 ~ 491 AD. Only three die, most notably Zeno; triggering more musical chairs for the purple. The Ostrogoths and Odovacer were busy fighting over who rules Italy, too. So what you saw, was land being desolated by war and intrigue. Time to move out.

Matthew 24:30: Blepw/horaw, syllables 952-4, sevens at 952-462, spans 982 ~ 984 AD. Otto II dies here; he is featured in Mark 13 and Revelation 17 as paradigmal for the rest of history (uncertain as to why).

Matthew 24:33: Blepw/horaw, syllables 1090-2, sevens at 1092-952, spans 1120 ~ 1122 AD. In the Byzantine Empire, John II Komnenos consolidated power within his family, thus set about trying to recover lost territory (renovatio). In the West, Henry V finally relinquished the long-used power by kings over the clergy (to the extent of making them an arm of the government doing the emperor's bidding, institutionalized since Otto I). Consequently, the papacy and its many tentacles, were finally free of formal imperial control, perhaps for the first time since Pepin the Short or Charlemagne. In Jerusalem, the Latins were then ascendant, and Baldwin II was on the throne; yet during these years he captured the Temple Mount, only to find himself captured as well (and later freed). He was also in conflict with John, over Antioch. So what everyone saw was war, even though the Temple Mount should have attracted the most interest. The Templars were just founded on it; they end up being a thorn in the side of everyone. Presumably the booty they acquired, included Bible manuscripts which were disseminated?

Surely the monasteries were going through their third major reform, at least in France and England. Benedictine Rule which started in the 500s, collapsed; it was renewed as Cluny in the 800s and Cistercian by the 1000s; 20 years after this clause, the first Cistercian Pope will be installed; then he will spend most of his life chased from his own see, by rebelling Italians who wanted no more popes. Seeds of that later rebellion, are sewn here; due to monks and laity alike deciding, you know what, we just want to learn what Bible says. Hence these years see, birthed in the College of Paris, the advent of small Bibles with copious notes, meaning of Hebrew names; pocket sized for the convenience, not only of ubiquitous Franciscan and Dominican friars whose orders commissioned them; but for the sake of many laity, too. Here begins what we would see as our modern Bible, replete with chapters and verses, concordances and indexes. It literally changed the world, to suddenly have your own personal Bible cheaply, which you could hold in one hand and read yourself. Thus began human independence from clergy hearsay, and the inevitable confusion which any newborn freedom will undergo. The Reformation thus becomes inevitable; in these early days of yet-hand-copied Bibles; its progress, perhaps mercifully, is slow.

Matthew 25:20: Blepw/horaw, syllables 2238-9, sevens at 2238-1090, spans 2268 ~ 2269 AD.

Matthew 25:22: Blepw/horaw, syllables 2322-3, sevens at 2322-2238, spans 2352 ~ 2353 AD.

Matthew 25:25: Blepw/horaw, syllables 2448-9, sevens at 2448-2322, spans 2478 ~ 2479 AD.

Matthew 25:37: Blepw/horaw, syllables 2875-7, sevens at 2875-2448, spans 2905 ~ 2907 AD.

Matthew 25:38: Blepw/horaw, syllables 2899-901, sevens at 2899-78, spans 2929 ~ 2931 AD.

Matthew 25:39: Blepw/horaw, syllables 2923-5, sevens at 2923-2902, spans 2953 ~ 2955 AD.

Matthew 25:44: Blepw/horaw, syllables 3113-5, sevens at 3113-2924, spans 3143 ~ 3145 AD.


Semeion Anaphora
(sarcastic, generation always seeking a sign verse)

Matthew 24:3: semeion, syllables 129-32, sevens at prior amen, 128-58; spans 159 ~ 162 AD. Antonius Pius dies and troops begin to bring back to Rome, some form of plague. It will keep recurring, and is thought to have originated in China. Not sure what else to list, here. Once the plague starts, Christians and Jews are blamed as its cause, so persecutions begin; but they aren't ordered.

Matthew 24:24: semeion, syllables 727-29, sevens at 727-132, spans 757 ~ 759 AD. Constantine V was in the process of enforcing his 754 Council prohibiting iconoclasm. Mark makes this text an anaphoric center, setting it a few years later: as a sequel, since the daughter-in-law of Constantine V renewed icon worship which Constantine V quelled. So here in 757-9, the Byzantine Empire is working with the aftermath of the Hieria Council which banned icon worship back in 754 (trying, the wrong way, to obey Matthew 24:24); Constantine V himself wars with the Bulgars (and wins).

In the West, these years cover Pepin the Short, newly crowned a few years prior by the Pope, coming to rescue him; Pepin makes the so-called Donation of Pepin, which is really a quid pro quo; the papacy's satellite monasteries and clergy, come under progressive Frankish rule until 1120.

Matthew 24:30: semeion, syllables 923-6, sevens at 923-727, spans 953 ~ 956 AD. Constantine VII 7 years after he's freed from regents, but why these years? Arab temporary invasion started during these years, but was largely reconquered by the Byzantine Empire in 957-9. Whole reign is central in Mark 13 / Revelation 17, also via parousia tie, but how do their snippets intersect and elaborate on this one? Otto II is born 955 (dates vary 1 ~ 3 years by source); his dad will become the Holy Roman Emperor 7 years later, which Luke 21, Mark 13, and Revelation 17 focus on. To his dad, the 'son born' would be regarded as a sign; daddy wanted to revive Rome. There was no Holy Roman Emperor during this time; the various princelings were all fighting both each other, and migrating tribes; Otto defeats the Hungarians, so consolidates.


Iesous Christos Anaphora
(savior=Iesous anointed=christos; so sarcasm, re true vs false christs)

Matthew 24:1: Iesous/Christos, syllables 5-7, ends at first seven; spans 35 ~ 37 AD. Original deadline for His death, forecast since David died, was 37 AD (1000th anniversary of David's death, the end of Daniel 9:26 if you properly used solar years instead of lunar, properly parsed 2 Samuel 23). = The year Tiberius dies and Caligula begins, Pilate thus reprieved of his reprimand. 57 years later, was supposed to begin the millennium, had there been no Church. Ephesians 1:3d tags this, so align Paul's writeup starting here? But you see the 'leaving' wit, right?

Matthew 24:4: Iesous/Christos, syllables 153-5, sevens at 154-7, spans 183 ~ 185 AD. Commodus and the Church turn very bad, lording it over others and (Church) seeking to persecute dissent, both thinking themselves as the 'savior' and everyone else as untermenschen. Same problem as Tiberius with Sejanus, during this time. Freed up to be goofball, by 185 Commodus begins to play up being a 'son of Hercules'. He taxed the Senate to give to the people, starting maybe 185?

Matthew 24:5: Iesous/Christos, syllables 192-4, sevens at 192-157, spans 222 ~ 224 AD. Witty sarcasm, here. Expecting a savior, folks riot in Rome claiming "the second coming is now!" based on an incorrect calculation of when the year 1000 was to occur (using Varro's ab urbe condita); a goofball Christian aims to rebut: oh, the second advent is far away, politically manipulates the date. Also, Origen was in the middle of entertaining the Severan mothers, causing others to entertain the idea they will save Rome by ousting the mothers; so Elagabulus is killed in 222, and a different boy who loves lares, is installed. Resulting purge of Christians deprives Callistus of his life; Peter gets put on a Roman pope (really bishop's) list for the first time (to make Christianity look both Roman and old), ousting Paul who formerly was on the list: by Julius Africanus, maybe-buddy of Demetrius of Alexandria, who envied Origen.

Matthew 24:23: Iesous/Christos, syllables 694-6, sevens at 696-192, spans 724 ~726 AD. Leo III, seven years after he started ruling, first iconclast (back-to-Bible) movement in the Byzantine Empire; verse wryly echoes their own arguments against icondules; Mark 13 makes this time an anaphoric center for the aftermath when Leo dies. Also, success in again repelling the Arabs so Bible isn't destroyed (from God's perspective that would be key).


Parousia Anaphora
(God 'appears' through you learning His Word)

Matthew 24:3: parousia, syllables 135-8, sevens to prior amen at 135-58; spans 165 ~ 168 AD. Start of the Antonine plagues. Many would interpret them as a 'sign' of the 'end'. Jews and Christians were blamed by the mobs (the no-other-god tenet of both groups seen as impious, even 'atheist', in Roman eyes). Some persecution begins, thus reinforcing 'sign' and 'appearance' of Lord to those persecuted. Also the 'sign' of more Bible dissemination, as God 'appears' to you via His Word (aphorism starts in Numbers 6 based on Moses' face when Lord appeared to him, to provide yet more Word).

Matthew 24:27: parousia, syllables 822-6, sevens at 821-135, spans 852 ~ 856 AD. Michael III finally gets independence in March 856, away from his regents. Unfortunately, he does it by means of murder in 855, so that's how he too will die. However, during his reign his counterpart Charles in the northwest, ends up conquering Moravia, asks Michael III for some missionaries who invent what we call the Cyrillic alphabet after one of them, thus evangelising via a new Bible translation not only Moravia, but most of the Balkans and what will end up being called the Russias. All that is about seven years future of this time's end, so the clause ends with the very year Moravians are evangelised; which year, is three years after Ruskies raided the outskirts of Byzantium especially the monasteries, while yet pagans, and likely made off with many Bible manuscripts the monks were then copying for customers; Bibles richly illustrated and bound, so booty the pagans couldn't read... until three years later when the monks sent who had maybe only the Latin to work with, owing to the theft... got those Bibles back, given them by a now-grateful and reading, set of Russian converts, to whom the Lord thus 'appeared'. And it all starts here, in 852-6, because Michael III is freed up to say 'yes' to Charles.

Matthew 24:30a: parousia, syllables 927-33, sevens at 927-822, spans 957 ~ 963 AD. Yay, decenary of Constantine VII's own independence, maybe his son's 21st year, free of conflict with his erstwhile regents and brothers-in-law, no small thanks to his wife, the daughter of one of the regents who wanted to appear to 'New Rome' as its savior, for a little too long. As a result, Constantine VII keeps writing, and his wife runs the day-to-day. These seven years also mark, for the first time since Leo III, Arabs driven out of the Empire. Additionally, fresh Russkie royal conversions occur, to reduce their post-conversion raids on the Byzantine Empire. Constantine VII dies in 959, so his parousia is real and eternal. End is marked by his son's death in 963; his widow marries one of the generals, to protect her babies; her name is Theophanu. Both Mark 13 and Revelation 17 focus on her 'appearance', with Revelation 17 ending its chapter on play of the two Theophanu's.

Matthew 24:30b: parousia, syllables 955-61, sevens at 955-927, spans 985 ~991 AD. One of those babies, Basil II, undertakes to make himself the savior of the Byzantine Empire and reconquers much of the former glory, only to die childless and forever single. During these years, he puts down his many usurpers (story should be a movie); finally has independence; by the end, him faking his sister as bride to quell Bulgarians, was reversed; he instead marries her off to Russia, her appearance causing conversion of bridegroom Vladimir I, already many-wived. This sets up two or more centuries of attempts by both Bulgars and Russians to conquer Byzantium as now vaguely their right by marriage. Even Otto I got a Byzantine princess bride to 'appear' back in 972: yet another Theophanu, married to Otto II, who was obsessed with the millennium; he had his own parousia, two years before this clause begins. Mark 13 and Revelation 17 focus on this couple, with Mark 13:26 bracketing same text to prior parental source, Constantine VII (same language as Matthew 24:30 here). At ton huion, Louis V reigns and dies, ending Carolingians; Vladimir I seeks a new religion (page 22 of A History of Russian Christianity, Vol. I: From the Earliest Years through Tsar Ivan IV, with more detail). How biting. By tou, he converts and marries Anna Porphyrogenita, daughter of Romanos II and Theophanu.

Matthew 24:37: parousia, syllables 1214-25, sevens at 1214-955, spans 1244 ~ 1255 AD. Trojan-horse sacking of Byzantium yielded inter alia, many Greek manuscripts going to the West, in no small part due to pecuniary needs of the Latin Emperors, resulting in Byzantine's 'kingdom' extent, now barely beyond Constantinople's walls. These years mark the turning point, when the Greeks begin to take it back. Meanwhile, the Latin rulers are busy selling every relic (of which Bible is considered), for money to fight Arabs and Europeans who want Byzantium too, especially the now-normalized Norman French and a few 'Fredricks'. So Bible manuscripts appear all over Europe, not incidentally Spain where the Reconquista ends everywhere but Granada. Jews appear all over too, as the Reconquista means their expulsion; so nations nearby... echo. So many Jews go to Milan, Poland: these areas end up exempted from the Black Plagues, which appear about 93-8 years after this clause. That mid-tribulation-millennium's meter irony goes unnoticed, as Europe is busy with its new toy's appearance: Paris/Milan Bibles, precursor of our modern form; by-friars portable, cheaper, and thus so popular, there are laws restricting its sale; so widely read and discussed, now folks gab oh maybe the Lord will appear in 1260 AD, given Daniel 12! Of course when He didn't, they stopped reading Word and started persecuting Jews for not converting in time. So those plagues will flood in waves, to wipe out the fourth generation saying no...

Matthew 24:39: parousia, syllables 1298-1309, sevens at 1309-1225, spans 1328 ~ 1339 AD. Given the negative volition, God again becomes a political tool, so by the end of this period everyone starts warring in His name. The formal Crusades ended in the Levant by 1291, the Arabs victorious; so now the crusaders, who enjoyed cannibalizing each other in the prior two crusades, now ramp it up; calling everyone a heretic, while popes play musical chairs. Byzantium was retaken by the Greeks in 1261; by now, they decline to asebes-astheneia in 1st Venetian war, so Mark 13 will end at its aftermath (1311). Patient terminal, waiting coup de grace by the Arabs. Meanwhile, Normans in Britain/France are busy claiming they ought to run the place. So this Bible clause highlights juridical impetus for the Black Plagues (many, first one worst then in waves after) that will halve Europe... yet not stop the Hundred Years' War. Oh well. Sevening here is key: back in 1255, God was popular to learn, though misinterpreted. By the end, He's just a flag you wave, to feel holy.

Matthew 24:44: parousia, syllables 1456-62, sevens at 1456-1309, spans 1486 ~ 1492 AD. And that's why you have Joan of Arc. Not Word, not Bible, but a slip of a girl whose visions are given weight to deflect attention on her not-Word; ended, sorta, the Hundred Years' War. She appeared, not Him. Fortunately for us, not everyone was agog with her signs and wonders, but instead prepared the Word in all those monasteries collecting dust; so now 56 years later, comes a sizeable revolt against popes and kings telling 'us' how to worship, chaining Bible; so for every Wycliffe and Hus (marked in Matthew by the first kurios, q.v), are thousands of peasants or even nobles, who want to read scripture ourselves. So right on cue, mirroring the same span as Joan lived, arrives the real vision, movable-type printing press to churn out Bibles by the hundreds. So now Byzantium's Bibles largely rescued a century prior, can be printed; given a much-depopulated yet repopulating Europe, folks got time and means to actually read it. Clerics objected of course, and so again cannibalizing infra crusades refuel; but mass interest now too widespread, means to control distribution of Bible, too weak. And right on time too, there's a New World to colonize, handy escape from persecution; even if you were imprisoned on a boat sent there. Sometimes slavery, is freedom.

Matthew 25:14: parousia, syllables 2035-7, sevens at 2037-1456, spans 2065 ~ 2067 AD. As we've seen in all previous parousia, there is a preceding period of positive volition to God turned negative, warring, then evangelization; as a result, He 'appears' to those evangelized. Here, that result will last 600 years, to 2668. So our time is pivotal, to that outcome.

Matthew 25:24: parousia, syllables 2406-8, sevens at 2408-2037, spans 2436 ~ 2438 AD.

Matthew 25:31: parousia, syllables 2632-8, sevens at 2632-2408, spans 2662 ~ 2668 AD.


Kurios/numphios/Basileus Anaphora Trio
(true vs false spouse/ruler/christ and who YOU choose to husband your decisions)

Matthew 24:42: kurios, syllables 1373-5, sevens to verse 39 parousia at 1375-1298; spans 1403 ~ 1405 AD. Oh, how apt the text: what slave will become faithful and wise, willing for the 'Peggity' of the unwashed, to teach them? Well, how about Wycliffe and Jan Hus? So the latter, inspired by the former, launches real Bible teaching in Moravia; this, triggered the Reformation. These years, Jan Hus spent translating Bible from Greek and Wycliffe, into Czech; teaching the meanwhile, apart from and hostile to, the papacy. Concurrently in England, pressure to outlaw Wycliffe's first-ever English translation of the Bible, motivates King Henry who liked his Wycliffite, to ban it. Between both lands, awareness of alternatives to popes and monks, generates interest in Bible translation, as the Italian renaissance fruits Hebrew manuscripts Jews in Milan, avidly copy and sell. Thus the Lord has a renewed 'advent' in believer hearts. It would last long enough for Gutenberg and the official Reformation, to take off.

All kurios references in Matthew 24 ~ 25 denote this theme, each occurrence marking a specific teacher, Bible translation or manuscript find. Notice how they are grouped. He's been Lord (God) forever, comes to earth as bridegroom, rejected by the firstborn, Israel; so now out on the highways and byways, to collect harem Church. Into which, anyone who believes is born again, whether Jew or Gentile of flesh. Belief in Christ is betrothal; when He comes to collect the bride, He's King of Kings. When He comes back to earth to inaugurate the millennium, He's King of Israel, and she's queen of the nations; she divorced Him, but not He, her. So like Vashti, she retains her position. Church the new Esther, rules beside Him, not over Israel. As a good wife, the Church will be responsible for keeping the gentiles peaceful, so that Israel will have the 1000 years' of promised peace from her enemies. In the final 50 of that last 1050, Satan & Co. having been jailed the meanwhile, are allowed one last time to attempt takeover, after which they all get their eternal home alone AKA the lake of fire, in their new universe.

So the question becomes: which christ, which salvation, which doctrine, do you believe? Who husbands your choices? Who's your lord, and who crowns your thoughts?

Matthew 24:45: kurios, syllables 1485-91, sevens at 1485-1373, spans 1515 ~ 1517 AD. Zwingli, Erasmus, Luther. Reformation Start (officially).

Matthew 24:46: kurios, syllables 1520-22, sevens at 1520-1485, spans 1550 ~ 1552 AD. John Knox, Calvin, focus on English Reformation's impetus. Both men were just beginning their ministries.

Matthew 24:48: kurios, syllables 1581-3, sevens at 1583-1520, spans 1611 ~ 1613 AD. First 3 editions of KJV and their teachers. The KJV will be revised every few years thereafter.

Matthew 24:50: kurios, syllables 1610-2, sevens at 1612-1584, spans 1640 ~ 1642 AD. End of a successful historical voting period (else world would have ended), and end of English reformation. During these specific years, Charles I is deposed for trying to usurp how to worship, learn Bible. Begins satirical use of 'false lord/bridegroom' for Matthew 25. Also, first printed book in US, 1640 metered Psalms translation. So this meter could have been known since the Colonies founded.

Matthew 25:11a: kurios, syllables 1985-6, sevens at 1984-1613, spans 2015 ~ 2016 AD. This is our time; still stands for Bible manuscripts discovery, major change in teaching, false lord Revelation 17 politics (Donald Trump). Sevens to prior numphios at 1986-1944, pregnant distance of 42. Can't be more obvious; same vile politicizing-fetus crowd from the 1960's, now touts Trump as the Anointed (search even in Youtube on 'Seven Mountains' + 'Trump' + 'Anointed', go to rightwingwatch.org and read their collection of apostate Christian snippets or subscribe to them in twitter). Ann Coulter's: In Trump We Trust, blind to his lies and thefts; X (formerly twitter) memes depicting him as a hero, Christian praise despite his lewdness and Bible ignorance; his utter disdain for veterans, women, minorities; everything Jesus said do not, he does. Yet mainstream media Christians on TV and radio, constantly praise him as the savior of America. Matthew 25:10-11 is on your TV and X (formerly twitter) feed. Daily. What you don't know, is that the 'Seven Mountains' movement backing Trump, including Rafael Cruz, reverses Revelation 17, thinking God wants to unite Church and State. So, start watching their own videos. Once I realized this, I had to do this Matthew 24 writeup. This is why this period is pivotal to the outcome of Church. Rapture can occur if Church is too apostate and must be recalled, analogous to first temple going down. In which case, Church will not be complete, and Satan wins. That's what Revelation 17 warns. But if you politicize fetuses God says are not yet human (Genesis 2:7, very obvious), then you will reverse Revelation 17 also, with but little satanic 'help' 😘.

Matthew 25:11b: kurios, syllables 1987-8, sevens at 1988-1610, spans 2017 ~ 2018 AD. Now add growing proof of Trump in Russia's pocket, and Trump breaking the emoluments, relatives, and every other law in our land against self-enrichment of those in public office, especially that of POTUS. All just going on, daily worse, and the alleged 'Christian' GOP allows and even encourages it, defends him. So he's their Lord by acquiescence, huh. Notice especially that those defending him, are far less sane than say a year before they jumped on the TrumpTrain 🚂. Compare those same droolers to their talk, a year prior. Borg collective. So of course they can't tell their 'lord' is a false messiah, they prefer orange!

Matthew 25:18: kurios, syllables 2167-9, sevens at 2169-1987, spans 2197 ~ 2199 AD. This is within the last 1050 that Christ maps. So it could represent future history during the millennium, the rapture and tribulation happening sometime prior. Since Revelation 1-3 basically explains the rapture happens due to Church apostacy coinciding with her completion, it can happen any day. Criterion for the rapture isn't event-based or date-based, but maturation/apostasy, maxing out. One more day of Church, won't help anyone believe/grow. So up she goes, Revelation 4:1.

Matthew 25:19: kurios, syllables 2182-4, sevens at 2184-2170, spans 2212 ~ 2214 AD.

Matthew 25:20: kurios, syllables 2226-7, sevens at 2226-2184, spans 2256 ~ 2257 AD.

Matthew 25:21a: kurios, syllables 2255-7, sevens at 2254-2226, spans 2285 ~ 2287 AD.

Matthew 25:21b: kurios, syllables 2293-5, sevens at 2293-2258, spans 2323 ~ 2325 AD.

Matthew 25:22: kurios, syllables 2310-11, sevens at 2310-2296, spans 2340 ~ 2341 AD.

Matthew 25:23a: kurios, syllables 2339-41, sevens at 2339-2311, spans 2369 ~ 2371 AD.

Matthew 25:23b: kurios, syllables 2377-9, sevens at 2376-2341, spans 2407 ~ 2409 AD.

Matthew 25:24: kurios, syllables 2396-7, sevens at 2397-2376, spans 2426 ~ 2427 AD.

Matthew 25:26: kurios, syllables 2459-61, sevens at 2459-2396, spans 2489 ~ 2491 AD.

Matthew 25:37: kurios, syllables 2871-72, sevens at 2872-2459, spans 2901 ~ 2902 AD.

Matthew 25:44: kurios, syllables 3109-10, sevens at 3110-2872, spans 3139 ~ 3140 AD.

Matthew 25:1: numphios, syllables 1717-9, sevens to Matthew 24:50 kurios at 1717-1612; spans 1747 ~ 1749 AD. War of Austrian succession, the first truly world war, all over who would husband Europe, since the Holy Roman Emperor died with only a female heir. Sets the pattern for all wars through WWII, the major impetus for the American War of Independence (to separate from all those nasty European wars). Especially biting: Matthew 24:50 is the first sarcastic use of kurios, for the deposition of Charles I who wanted to lord it over England, how she should worship and what Bible she can have. All uses of numphios, and future uses of kurios add that sarcastic 'layer': it proves most relevant in 'our' time, Matthew 25:11ff. First Great Awakening.

Note the full-circle quality of history: 2000+ years ago, a woman in a dusty little country seems to have a Child out of wedlock, Who ends up being the predicted Messiah. So the legitimacy of such a claim retains its pssst-pssst character, as the first Christian empire is founded based on that Kid, by Constantine who himself might not have been legitimate, either. So those supporting him and those not, argue over legitimacy for the next 2000 years, all of them trying to re-create the alleged glory of Rome that existed when that Kid, was here. For his part, Constantine wanted to start a New Rome somewhat east of the old one, but then 1100 or so years later the Arabs took it over, and now the old Rome still limps along, many times reconstructed... until World War I, ends. Hitler tried to revive it, still the Europeans try, and Putin wants to rebuild the Constantine thing, ever the desire of the east (called renovatio, look it up). Now, via some goofball claim of past white Christian glory, it's a heady lie to be slurped in TrumpLaLaLandia, with blonde counterparts in Europe thirsty for the same. North vs. South now on global scale, whiteys against non-whiteys, just as vommunist Chinese foreign diplomats long warned their non-white counterparts in below-equator capitals.

So do you wonder, that in 1749, a guy wrote a metered translation of 2 Samuel 23, 'The Last Words of David"? Book's author missed how David sevened so you got to his age when he writes, 77. Which yes Isaiah 53 used for his meter, as did Matthew 1 (playing on Davidic 14s), and Luke 3, genealogies that confuse scholars who can't read either 1 Kings 6:1 or that 1749 book. This is why scholars think the Bible's dates are wrong: they don't read the Bible's dates properly, but use Josephus. Just in time for all those scholar tomes in the next century when Bible manuscripts were collated by the thousands; by then, hundreds of such metered translations would exist; no one realizing hey, these syllable counts are divisible by SEVEN!

Matthew 25:5: numphios, syllables 1789-91, sevens at 1789-1719, spans 1819 ~ 1821 AD. Seventy years later: first find of Codex Aleph (partial), first vision by faker-suitor Joseph Smith, and cult of Nappy-who-just-died-coming-back-to-save-world, begins. It's also the start of a massive pan-denominational fervor to find all the extant Bible manuscripts, collate and correct them, translate them. From here on, every year someone retranslates the Bible to take into account the latest mss scholarship. Theologies and divinity schools flourish, as do missions, even until now. 200 years ago, scholars were interested in Bible, not politics; it was a time of creating lexicons and translations that we still use today, never mind what milquetoast pulpits pander. Revival fervor also begins anew, culminating in the second Great Awakening. This is when Millerites, SDA, other experience-not-Bible movements are born.

Bible interest runs in 200 year cycles. We are at the end of one. If you look back in history, starting at the Cross, you can see Bible interest wax and wane; by 200 AD, no one wanted to learn the Greek (see Max Cary's History of Rome, penultimate chapter). Thereafter, as crises came and went, Bible interest rose or fell; sometimes it took a bit longer than 200 years, but not much beyond that. The Paris Bibles were all the rage when first disseminated in the early 1100's; by 1300, while no one would discard his, no one wanted new ones. 200 years after that, is the Reformation; 200 years next is the Renaissance (so called because it was anti-Bible and therefore must be good); then 1900s.. and well, here we are.

Matthew 25:6: numphios, syllables 1815-7, sevens at 1817-1789, spans 1845 ~ 1847 AD. Codex Aleph (main ones) found, Joseph Smith dies (1844), Mormonism founded in Salt Lake City. Intensification of the verse 5 trend, continues. Official second Great Awakening is usually tagged to 1857 et seq.

Matthew 25:10: numphios, syllables 1944-6, sevens at 1943-1817, spans 1974 ~ 1976 AD. Codex Aleph (another one) found; 'prolife' Christians make Ronald Reagan and every other GOP candidate, a new groom. Fervor of apostolic revivalist 1820s et seq., institutionalized; every seminary contained their tomes and every demonation created its own Bible translation. Every false doctrine remains, and many corrected ones are known yet still debated. So politics inserted to deflect, even as Joan d'Arc. Thus prolife blasphemy flowers, ersatz scholarship of prosperity gospel with no Biblicity and less sense. Seven Mountains dominionism is born, from 3-way same 'vision' by three apostates:

  1. Bill Bright
  2. Loren Cunningham
  3. Francis Schaeffer

All in 1975. It is the movement behind Donald Trump in 2015 et seq. Becomes the new Apostolic Reformation circa 1998 when text says the Lord shuts the door. (Many references in Youtube by the practitioners, and Google web searches). Word is tossed out in favor of 'apostles' and 'prophets' whose spoken word, is instead followed.

Matthew 25:34: Basileus, syllables 2739-43, sevens at 2743-2638 parousia or 2743-1945 numphios or 2738-1947, spans 2769 ~ 2773 AD.

Matthew 25:40: Basileus, syllables 2945-9, sevens at 2949-2743, spans 2975 ~ 2979 AD.
