Ultimate JFK Conspiracy Theory: 50 years on

20th November 2013, hej

 

The following is utterly speculative, and investigates based on known facts how and why God might have brought about the removal of JFK in the light of what has been said in the Bible about who rules in the nations.


The most intriguing thing of the events in Dallas 50 years ago on November 22, 1963 is that even today people are still puzzled: in effect nothing really makes sense. It will never make sense until we understand who really was moving events, and why.


Who rules the nations

Many Christians might miss the importance today of the declaration in Daniel regarding the unseen work of Angels. Not only were there open interventions with Belshazzar and Nebuchadnezzar, there were ongoing interventions which would not have been seen. To the beloved Daniel it was revealed by the Angel that he had been intervening in the affairs of the Persia.

But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. (Daniel 10:13)

And then later in the conversation,

Then said he, Know you wherefore I come unto you? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come. (Dan 10:20)


This indicates a micro management and active intervention. Previously it had been revealed to Nebuchadnezzar that his power was not due to his own might, but was given by God.

This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will, and sets up over it the basest of men. (Daniel 4:17)

This was proven in no uncertain terms, and Nebuchanezzar is humbled.


From the days of their residence in Egypt it had been made clear to the children of Israel that their God might raise up and manipulate a ruler to achieve an outcome to his glory.

the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him: And that you may tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know how that I am He who will be (literally in Hebrew). (Exodus 10:1-2)

This is not a one-off incident but forms part of a pattern. Later when the Israelites enter the land,

Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as appears this day. (Deu 2:30)


The pattern is that those who have certain tendencies are given power, and those tendencies are strengthened, so that whatever their intent was - God's will is done- in the end.

Point to note: who killed Jack Ruby

Among all those who died, no-one wonders why Jack Ruby died in January 1967. It seems at one point he was pleading to be listened to. When he was to come to trial again, where a gregarious man after having time to think on events might speak, then he died, suddenly. The life of all is declared to be in God's hand (Psalm 104). Why did God take his life then? It might be noted that Jack Ruby was Jewish, but not devout. A witness who knew Jack Ruby well thought he “had no choice”. (http://jfkfacts.org/) and another source remembers him saying, “I was framed to kill Oswald” (Wikipedia).

But fundamentally the point is made that it was in these hearts to kill Oswald, and in addition the way was opened that they do so. Let us consider what Elihu says.

For God speaks once, yea twice, yet man perceives it not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men, and seals their instruction, That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. (Job 33:14-17)


For some reason, it must have fitted the divine plans that nothing would be said. It may have suited human plans also, but in the affairs of leaders of nations Daniel was shown God's will prevailed. Therefore it is possible that Oswald's reasons were also “sealed instruction” to remove 'pride from man', and this is supported by much analysis, which struggles to find a convincing motive. The lack of convincing motive rather argues that 'he was withdrawn from his purpose' to another and his 'instruction sealed'. That he might be rather prone to having many ideas of his own, all of which failed, might rather support that there is a reason why this 'idea' succeeds.


A theory that death was an accident triggered by Oswald's actions

Recently an investigator has produced some evidence that if Oswald's bullet had not killed John F. Kennedy, accidentally, another did kill him.

One of the agents riding in the follow-up Cadillac - the car behind the Lincoln Continental carrying Mr and Mrs Kennedy - had an AR-15 assault rifle loaded with hollow-point bullets. The agent, George Hickey, had little experience with this weapon. In the confusion following that first shot, Hickey, awkwardly sitting on the head-rest of the rear seat, and jolted by the car's lurching to a halt, fumbled for the gun. And - oops - it went off.
"It's almost cartoonish,'' says McLaren. "It's where the evidence takes us.''
Most compelling are the dozens of witnesses who smelt gunsmoke in close proximity to Kennedy's car, and those who saw a Secret Service agent in the following car swing around with a "machine gun". Those people weren't called before the Warren commission. What is gobsmacking is the unambiguous latter-day testimony that the Secret Service perpetuated a cover-up, including the fabrication of evidence and the intimidation of the autopsy team.
McLaren's starting point, however, was a "first-class" ballistics report published 21 years ago by an American, Howard Donahue, that proved beyond doubt that a second gun fired the fatal shot. This leads us back to the empty cartridges lying on McLaren's coffee table. He holds one up.

The chances that an accident like that could be so deadly accurate is extraordinary. But what if there was divine oversight? Do we pray that we might be “delivered from evil”?


Does God have the power to keep us from harm? At the very least this leader's 'wall' of Divine protection was well and truly taken down. He gets hit as a moving target by a shooter of moderate skill, and then again hit, if the theory is correct by accident. One other, the Governor Connally is hit, but his wall is his wife and her actions may have saved his life. Only JFK died.


We are told the angels are involved in the nations as Daniel was told the Prince of Persia was fought with till the prince of Grecia came. Do many Christians think on how powerful the Creator is in his dealings with the leaders of Nations? Do they think human will is the sum of events on the earth? The message of the Watchers in Daniel was not just that at that time the Most High ruled, but that at all times he ruled the kingdoms of men.


One leader of the two most influential nations of that time was to be taken so another could come.


Why the change?

The year 1964 was to see in Israel the conflicts begin with Syria and Lebanon over water, that would lead to the Six Day War- which resulted in Jerusalem being ruled by Jews and becoming the capital of Israel. The point Christians might wish to understand is that this moment in time was spoken of by their Lord. He said, as recorded in Luke 21, that Jerusalem would be trodden down of the Gentiles until – a specific time- a time when it would again be ruled by Jews.


At such a time it would be likely that Yahweh Elohim, He who will Be Mighty Ones was choosing leaders who would act in such a way as to result in God's Glory.


Imagine how events may have gone if the first Catholic President in US history, one indeed who had missives from the pope on his plane and no Bible, was to react to the lead up to the Six Day war. It is a fact that there was no Bible, as Johnson uniqely of all presidents did not swear on a Bible.

Johnson did not swear on a Bible, as there was none on Air Force One; a Roman Catholic missal was found in Kennedy's desk and was used for the swearing-in ceremony. Wikipedia


Instead of JFK, the unlikely president emerges. This article draws out the point of how radical the change of policy was after the assassination.


It was 33 years ago, on Nov. 22, 1963, that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. While a traumatized nation grieved for its youngest president, he was succeeded by Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, who was to become the most pro-Israel president up to that time. A sea change was about to take place in America’s relations with Israel.
Johnson was quick to declare his support for the Jewish state. Shortly after being sworn in as president, Johnson reportedly remarked to an Israeli diplomat:
“You have lost a very great friend, but you have found a better one.” Commented Isaiah L. Kenen, one of the most effective lobbyists for Israel in Washington: “ I would say that everything he did as president supported that statement.” 1
Up to Johnson’s presidency, no administration had been as completely pro-Israel and anti-Arab as his.
Not only was he personally a strong supporter of the Jewish state but he had a number of high officials, advisers and friends who shared his view.....
When initial war reports showed Israel making dramatic gains and several officials in the State Department Operations Room outwardly showed satisfaction,

The beginning of Lyndon B. Johnson's support for Israel was long before his role in the Six Day war.

There seems a sense he was raised up as his work helped Israel, right from the beginning of his work in politics.

His most memorable pro-Israel action took place in February 1957. when the Eisenhower Administration threatened Israel with punitive sanctions.

It appears there may have been a struggle over whether Kennedy or Johnson was nominated , in a key state in the elections that brought Kennedy to power. In the wash of the investigation by amateurs, the following emerged,

You know, the Federal government has been harassing Carlos (Marcello) for the last ten years, and it's all because of politics.... In 1960, when Bobby Kennedy was managing his brother's presidential campaign, he sent a guy down here to see Carlos. This was before the Democratic National Convention. He wanted Carlos to use his influence to swing the Louisiana delegation for Kennedy at the convention. Carlos said that he was sorry, but that he'd already promised his support at the convention to Lyndon Johnson. The Louisiana delegation went for Johnson. Even though Jack Kennedy got the nomination and picked Johnson for Vice President, Bobby was (upset) at Carlos and promised he'd get even. When he became attorney general, the first thing he did was start a campaign to put Jimmy Hoffa in the pen. The second thing he did was go after Carlos's .... All the Feds have been harassing Carlos ever (Unknown criminal Payoff: The Role of Organized Crime in American Politics (1972). since...http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKSinvestigation.htm


It is not inconceivable that an evil spirit was sent between former conspirators, as it was used in the past, as an incident records in the Bible,

Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech: (Judges 9:23)


There are as many theories as there are people, precisely because there is no earthly pattern. The events do have some elements that fit known works of the Hand of God: the sudden evil thought, the evil spirit between former 'allies' in collusion. All would have been a confusion of failed outcomes, if it was not in accord with the Divine will. In the end the events, where the sordid (and perhaps the careless) killed the president, who had not been without sordid connections or carless actions, all led providentially to Israel's benefit. A man who read his Bible and who had worked to help Israel is raised so he may be part of the events that fulfilled the words he had read. It still may be remembered that until the Lord Y'shua come, leaders raised up by God will be from among the 'base'. Most of the remarkable world leaders since Nebuchadnezzar have risen from obscurity.


We might consider in more recent events 50 years later that after favourable treatment in Egypt, the superpower of the day, there arose a Pharoah who “knew not Joseph”, yet it was all to the Glory of the God of Israel.


There is no way Johnson could have achieved being president in those years if Kennedy had remained alive, yet the bounds of Israel were to be enlarged to include the Jerusalem in the Mountains of Israel, and the events began in 1964, the very year after the assassination. There has been no success to those who have since sought to take those Mountains of Israel from the children of Israel.


The borders of the Nations

Do we accept what we are told about the work of Yahweh Elohim in the earth? In addition to appointing the leaders, we are told the God of Israel also controls the bounds of nations,

And [He] has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: (Acts 17:26-27)

We hear 'Trump', and we associate it with 'Trumpet', which is the likely origin of the surname which was given to a Trumpeter or Drummer in the Army. The trumpet in the Bible speaks also of a call to war as Amos points out. Amos also says that when the trumpet of war is blown, Yahweh has done it. We are told that what is done is revealed to his servants.
