ONE GREATER THAN BILL GATES:
“BUILDERS AND TITANS” OF THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM
NB: This article is an excerpt from the author’s book, “We Shall Reign: The Promise of the Millennial Kingdom.”
They are not the builders of skyscrapers, highways and bridges. Neither are they the builders of industrial plants and machinery. At least not exactly. Those responsible for such, as just made out, are the thinkers and tinkerers. Those in the spotlight here are the titanic builders of business empires, the tycoons of our world! “Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase [wealth] is by the strength of the ox”! They are the present-day counterparts of the redeemed members of the Royal Priesthood Order of the Ox, the “creators of wealth and funds”!
Although my interpretation of the more excellent pattern of the Armies of Heaven in previous chapters was independent of Time’s publication (it only came as a latter witness), this is how they remarkably put it:
“Most successful entrepreneurs and executives benefit from the single-minded focus on creating wealth.”12
Remarkable indeed. These builders and titans, the creators of wealth and funds, are the drivers of our industrial ox carts. And that “it takes money to make money” is a very true saying. No matter what your political vision or aspirations are, what your artistic inspiration is, or what the findings and promises of your thinking and tinkering are, unless you have the funds to finance and develop those ideas, they would remain just that: ideas. That’s the “power” that dictates the “attitude” of our times, as I promised to point out to you.
In fascinating fashion, the keepers of time once again confirm this:
“Capitalism [that’s the ideology and language of the present time] not only won, it turned into a marvelous machine of prosperity, led by people who could take an idea and turn it into an industry.”13
These moneymaking geniuses are the creators of the funds used to oil the wheels of our society. As you might have also heard being said, “He who controls the economy controls the government, and he who controls the bread controls the people.” Bread in this sense is what sustains life in its full sense. Hence we speak of the “bread winner,” who not only puts the literal bread on the family table but also earns the money that pays for all the other needs. What the latter part of the saying therefore implies is that, he who hands out the jobs controls the people.
The foregoing will be one of the powerful weapons of the Armies of Heaven in the kingdom, the specialty of the Ox Division of their formations. Through their entrepreneurial and industrial genius, they will advance on the economies of the language nations, thereby dictating the dance steps of their leaders. And the jobs they will be creating in the process will ensure that they also annex the hearts and win the allegiance of the common people.
This is also true of the activities of the other divisions. In other words, the political savvy of the royal Elders, the artistic genius of the Eagle Division, the amazing technology and intellectualism of the Man Division and the communal influence of the Lion Division (as we would be considering next) are all part of the specialized weapons that Christ and His saints will use to consolidate their hold on the global community after the overthrow of the Antichrist. And notice the above suggestion of mortal political leaders (the saints will be immortal) during the Millennium. As we will get to, this is not a contradiction.
I can just see the inside title of that Time cover story, Mine, All Mine: Bill Gates Wants a Piece of Everybody’s Action.14 Greedy? It’s an open question. It can be reduced to your definition of greed and the motive behind it. Think of it: If all the gold – yellow, white, black, solid, liquid, paper, and what else have we – were put in the right hands, wouldn’t the world be better for it? That’s the primary thing you should bear in mind concerning the millennial commercial and industrial exploits of the Royal Priesthood Order of the Ox.
Remember also that they once called the Master of this coming millennial house “a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans” (Luke 7:34) during His last mission. The character and reputation of those publicans were not too different from those of the capitalists of today. And to think that this Time magazine edition recounting the commercial exploits of Bill Gates was cover-titled Master of the Universe! What more? It also contained a “Viewpoint” essay, Why Emperor Bill Should Rule,15 complete with a caricature of a crowned and scepter-in-hand Gates! A great witness indeed, for the true Emperor, One “greater than Solomon [yes, than Bill Gates],” the greatest captain of industry the world has ever seen, is on His way!
