Look Up Fellowship "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near." Luke 21:28

Ephesians 5:11 -- "And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them;"

This is precisely my intent with these "Synchro-Pop" pieces. I'm not even going to begin to try and wrap my brain around the fact that the very verse in Scripture that talks about exposing Satan's schemes contains two numbers we've studied a lot lately for their spiritual significance -- 5 and 11. Wow!

Score another one for Synchro-Pop! This is just plain mind-numbing. While it may seem like a never-ending rabbit hole to some, I prefer to look at these incidents as perhaps another sign of the times. You know, part of the "increase in knowledge" and "unsealing" prophecy for the end times spoken of in Daniel 12:4.

With that in mind, I wonder if this sort of thing will only become more and more common and increase in intensity as we near the beginning of Daniel's 70th Week and the Tribulation. Ultimately, you'll be left convinced that we're on the very cusp of all hell breaking loose here on Earth. As you'll soon see, that's really the only conclusion us students of prophecy can draw from all of this madness.

Have you heard about the South Park "prophecy" involving Michael Jackson and the Ark of the Covenant? Before I go any further please notice I put the word "prophecy" in quotes because I'm not about to elevate any example of Synchro-Pop to the status of holy Bible prophecy (and I hope I never give that impression to first-time visitors to this site), but I will always point to those cases where it shows up so we can ask if perhaps our Lord is trying to tell us something about where we are on His prophetic timeline by using anything and everything within His marvelous creation.

Yes, as absurd as it sounds there was a crazy connection between the Michael Jackson's death and the Ark of the Covenant last week. Furthermore, both were in the news quite prominently on the VERY SAME DAY last week Friday defying any rudimentary explanation.

(MY NOTE: The following italicized content is from The Sync Whole blog)

In the skit Michael's nose is ripped off by a kid.


A similar fate as the Sphinx perhaps?



In this South Park episode the room that Michael is in is a Blue Room with the Ark of the Covenant nestled behind him.




I have no idea what the show's creators are trying to say, but this little scene says much to us here at the Sync Whole. First of all, in King Solomon's Temple the Ark is supposed to be kept in a Blue Room, otherwise known as the Holy of Holies.

So, the King of Pop pops, an Angel falls, all on the eve of the Ark being revealed. All I can say is that clearly something is a stir between Heaven and Earth.

I found it interesting how Michael Jackson and Farah Fawcett died both on the same day. For me the message led me to the ARKangel Michael.

King MichaEl and the Angel Faucet. I have this vision of a big container of water having its plug pop and all the water/spirit flushing out. Is not that the job of the Archangel Michael? The one closest to God. To lead the spiritual "warfare" and usher in the flood.

Perhaps what I am indebted to Michael Jackson for is that by inspiring this post I began to look into the Ark more. What I learned seemed to be a big piece of the puzzle for me.

The Ark was to be made of wood from the ACACIA TREE. The Acacia tree just so happend to contain Dimethyltryptomine, or DMT, and one of the main active ingredients in Ayahuasca. Supposedly this tree was smoked and used for its pyschoactive properties.

(MY NOTE: Recall L.A. Marzulli's stunning research and commentary on this dangerous drug DMT and it's likely role in these end times as given on Future Quake recently! Don't mess with it at all whatever you do! Of course, this puts another real world story in a new context as it was reported just a couple of weeks ago that a Newark, NJ man was arrested with 1.4 pounds of DMT known as the "businessman's LSD". Let's continue.)

The Ark is in the plants. Ingest the plants and build the Ark here on Earth.



This is an interesting fact and fits well with Benny Shanon's work on Ayahuasca. One of his conclusions being that Moses must have been high on a plant concoction when he spoke to God and got the commandments. Read the article here.



The Acacia Tree is very important for Freemasonery as well. In this article, on the Symbolism of Masonery, it states that the Acacia tree is symbolic of dying, initiation, and immortality of the soul. It is used on the 3rd Degree Masonic tracing Board where it is the it is the marker for the body of the slain master Hiram.



Maestro Flores has often described experiencing Ayahuasca as dying. Just like Masons do. Through Ayahuasca one can learn the meaning of life and death being one.

Perhaps the secret way to die and become one with the Grand Architect of the Universe is to actually ingest the Acacia Tree, or as we would have it now, the Ayahuasca vine.

(MY NOTE: The MJ-Ark relationship symbolism doesn't end there though. Not by a mile!)

I also came across this 'Best of' album where we see MJ holding the White Dove. I didn't make the Dove/MJ connection until Jim mentioned the relevance of the Ark in this post:



The Dove plays a key role in the story of Noah's ARK:



On the cover of the Dangerous album we see the White Wings of the Dove and the Plume of the Peacock (a Blue Bird of Gnosis) emanating from the Nose of MJ. We also find a selection of Animals (think Noah) standing on top of a Red Star which is flanked by two Cherubim, bringing to mind the ARK of the Covenant which Jim mentions earlier in this post:



I did a quick Noah/Acacia google search and stumbled across this song by the band 'Acacia Strain' called 'NOAH will be your grave':




The album artwork is interesting because we see that the Acacia Tree/Vine/Ayahuasca helps connect us (via the Crown Chakra?) to the rest of the Universe.



Also notice above that the Grasshopper (at the top right) resonates with the late David Carradine, another Star who died suddenly and quite unexpectedly. What's with all the Death? David Carradine and the Grasshopper also resonate with Pinocchio and his Guardian Angel (JC) Jimminy Cricket. Notice the emphasis placed on the Red Spot, the Dove and the Nose in this poster:



As mentioned above the proximity of the events; MJ's Death, Rise of the Fallen, and the Ark's reveal...Are at the meat of understanding the interconnectedness that has become so obvious as the years draw closer to whatever event emanates in our future.



The last few pumps of adrenaline wear off as Optimus Prime steps away from the Pyramids victoriously. My eye went directly to the movement on the Sphinx's Nose...A bird flutters.



Micheal Jackson contributes a song to the soundtrack for E.T. (E = 5, T = 20 thus 25, date of Micheal's death).

Perhaps now is the time to bring up that a DOVE is also a PIGEON. One we revere and one we look at with disdain.But they are the same.



The Dove points to the Pigeon.

Pigeon is also the Pig Eon, the Eon of the Pig, when Swine Flew/Flu.

In the Bible the Dove symbolizes the descent of the Holy Spirit. The Pigeon is also famous for being a carrier of messages. Messengers of the Holy Spirit.

So, there you have it.

I'm not going to sit here and say that I agree with everything the author of that blog asserts, but I think we'd all agree that there is some compelling information being given to us here about the spiritual, supernatural forces at work in this world in absolutely every single minute aspect of life -- just as we'd expect from the omnipotent and omnipresent God.

Ok, so here we are -- once again -- asking what all of this means if anything? Yes, strange things happen, but this is beyond the realm of coincidence and pure chance, isn't it? I mean, if I'm not mistaken, this is the ONLY EPISODE of the show South Park that features Michael Jackson. They could've picked any object -- ANYTHING -- and instead they chose to include the Ark of the Covenant in the background of one of those scenes! That's difficult enough to try and wrap your brain around, but what about the fact that BOTH were in the news on the VERY SAME DAY? How do we explain that then as well?

Again, how strange is it that BOTH were in the news prominently on the SAME DAY!?! Surely, this has to mean something, but the "what" is the million dollar question. For me, it was quite obvious. It's almost as if you had this spiritual divide on full display and in clear cut terms for the entire world to witness. To me, the spiritual symbolism in contrasting these two news items on the very same day were very apparent.

On one side, there was us Christians who were anticipating news related to the unveiling of the Ark of the Covenant. Not that we would worship such an object and place it above our Creator, but that we knew the heralding of it would clearly signal the soon rebuilding of the Temple and the soon commencement of the Tribulation, and ultimately bring us that much closer to our Lord's return.

On the other side, there was the rest of the world who elevated the status of a mere mortal like you and me to unimaginable heights even in this Age of Superficiality. The "King of Pop" became the unsaved world's true king rather than it being the "King of kings" who should be the only one to have that kind of love and affection from mankind.

What is it behind the force of creation (in this sense the creative arts of pop culture) that can influence an artist subconciously? Because this obviously wasn't a case of the creators of South Park sitting around and taking instructions from "The-Powers-That-Be" on what to put in each scene.

Even if it was, how could they possibly see into the future and know that both would be intricately connected on a single day several years from the time the episode was created and aired? Men don't have that kind of foresight and power even if they're influenced by Satan.

Still, how is it that pop culture can pre-date real world events sometimes with incredible accuracy defying all logic and human understanding? This is the question I've been wrestling with while attempting to see if we can apply the phenomenon to the "increase in knowledge" and/or "unsealing" prophecy for the end times spoken of in Daniel 12:4. I believe that it is. I believe that it's all pointing to the nearness of the beginning of Daniel's 70th Week, or the start of the Tribulation.

You're a skeptic about all of this? That's fine. Nonetheless, it's still eerie that MJ dies on THE SAME DAY as the Ark "hoax". There's simply no moonwalking around that fact I'm afraid.

The GodLikeProductions forum had a very entertaining and lively debate on this subject, which is probably still on-going. One poster wrote: "I think lots of us here have got a gut feeling that MJ and his death are in some way linked to end times events. Maybe we should try to unravel this because the message is in there somewhere I think."

That prompted this response from another, which I believe NAILS IT if, in fact, there is a message encoded in all of this weirdness: "I believe it has to do with the Creator God's sense of humor. The Ark was a symbol of God's presence on Earth amongst man. The Ark was treated as a god itself virtually. Even though it was an Earthly Idol, it was the odd one out, because it was directly instigated and allowed by God himself to be venerated. One of God's 10 commandments (the 10 commandments were kept in the Ark) was that no man should have any other gods or idols before Him. However, Michael Jackson being dubbed the 'King of Pop', and being adored and worshiped by many around the world, in some way counts an a form of idol worship which God expressly forbids."

One word: Wow! I have to say that I think that's precisely the message inherent in all of this. To reiterate, this is such an over-the-top example of Synchro-Pop (and we've looked at a lot of them lately) that it's all a little disturbing. I mean, doesn't it almost feel as though our Lord has just taken things to a whole new level here? How can we not attribute that kind of meaning to this event when you have two completely unrelated items, shown in an obscure episode of a popular cartoon that's several years old, that are independently in the news prominently on the same day several years later, and the message and symbolism unique to each juxtaposes quite nicely with the other within the context of a discussion about end times Bible prophecy? How can we ignore that!?!

I wish I could say that this was the only example of South Park "pre-dating" real world events, but I can't. Yes, there was that whole bit about Saddam Hussein being buddies in Hell with Satan after his death, but that's nothing compared to the one we've just looked at, or others I've just learned about.

I'm not going to present a study on them here because I didn't have the time to do the research, but I find it fascinating that even the most recent episode that just aired the other night had some prophetic significance. I didn't see the episode, but from what I've read here's a general synopsis:

> Basically, it's a powerful message about "Full Disclosure" and world leadership.

> The CERN in Europe is developing a technology that has the attention of extraterrestrials. Technology that would blow our minds away.

> Randy dressed as a Star Wars character to signify an example. Her role as Princess Leia is a crucial clue.

> Randy (representative of the old generation) lied and is fine lying about it. Stan (representative of our generation) is not going to lie about it. The truth will come out soon.

> Stan's competition (his father) killed himself, and the era of old "car" technology is dead. Hence, the new warp speed travel device.

> The Aliens, obviously, are testing us. They find they have a hard time trusting us because of our financial system. We operate an unstable, primitive system.

> Finland is trying to come clean via "Full Disclosure". The world leaders decide to attack and bomb Finland.

> Contact for the old generation has been denied due to our immaturity. The next generation, (Stan's generation) will be trustworthy and included in the Galactic Federation. Now, where have we heard of them before? Blossom Goodchild anyone?

> We control our economy so our hardship is self inflicted. We aren't ready to join the Galactic Federation until we stabilize ourselves. "Space Bucks" mentioned.

> Alien's place Earth inside a prison cell for failing the test.

This last one is not directly from a South Park episode, but instead from a film that the creators of South Park made called Team America: World Police. Does anyone remember that one?



If not, all you need to know is that this 2004 film is based off of a popular British 1960s TV show called the Thunderbirds, which oddly enough was one of the earliest cases of Synchro-Pop with a DIRECT connection to 9/11 that makes The Lone Gunmen 9/11 episode seem amateurish.

The topic of the film? After a battle with terrorists destroys several historical landmarks in (you guessed it!) Paris, France the Team America learns that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il is supplying international terrorists with weapons of mass destruction, planning a mysterious worldwide attack. There's also a big meeting held by the terrorists in Cairo, Egypt. Hmmm, when has that place been in the news recently? In North Korea, Kim Jong-il reveals his plan to host an elaborate peace ceremony, inviting not only the Film Actors Guild but also the world's political leaders. During the celebration, a series of bombs will be detonated throughout the world, reducing every nation to a Third World country.

Sounds like the whole thing was ripped from today's headlines doesn't it? Unbelievable.

I'd love to hear from those of you who do watch South Park as well as those of you who know of any other episodes that deserve to be highlighted merely due to their subject matter and the nature of our discussions here.
