Seeker was startled at Eagle's words and Eagle was the first one to have noticed that.
"As expected, our resident time traveler is the first one that is surprised." Eagle smiled and everyone turned to him.
Seeker nodded.
"This isn't the same path we took. You were dead set on something. So I'm curious why the current you would say something like 'we will which one will be correct." Seeker answered.
"I believe I knew the prophetic path I picked was without any other options. We had no choice but to choose that. And while we could follow that same path we did there, there is another option! Your timeline had a lot of issues. But in this one, things that would not have been possible can be selected."
"But that path worked. We had an army. This change where we get to do what we want doesn't seem like the best plan. Why not improve on what we built up and stick with that plan?" Seeker asked.
"That's exactly why I called this meeting. I need to convince you, first and foremost, to agree with this. After all, your Adult self would probably follow that Path and force a narrative just to add a bit more believably, am I right?" Eagle asked.
"Oh boy... And here I thought this will be a discussion on what our plans will be. I have told you things that only know, after all. But it seems you have your own agenda." Seeker gave Eagle a strange look.
"I have. I'll be honest, Zeek. Before our mission, the Gospel to me is more important. You prefer that I picked the same route I did and use the fact that the Jews exist as a way to add more people to our cause. But that is a half-step. Why not go all the way?"
"Well... you're the pastor. So enlighten me. What is the full and proper step that is available?"
"All in good time, Seeker. You already have an idea regarding eschatology as you have lived through one timeline. But the rest aren't so blessed. The seeds have already been planted in this timeline and we can choose the best path. It is a path that will be more deadly and will involve more risk, but if it works, we will have more people converted."
"What risks are involved?"
Eagle glanced at everyone and didn't answer.
"Let me explain the theological options we have first! Lioncourt has already listed the numerous theological views on how the End of Times comes. All of it have different takes on the era that is called the Kingdom Era. This is the era that the bible talks about from the old to the new. We see its promises mentioned again and again all over the Bible. But if you know your Bible, you will know that all of these promises, even the ones that God promised the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, have never really reached fruition. Basically, our end goal will have to assume which of these three is really our preferred option."
"We're definitely going for an Amillenial view." Seeker answered.
"Amillennial? Shouldn't we be aiming for a Premillennial direction?" Lioncourt chided in.
"Post Millenial is the obvious answer. Look at our history! We have already had the Millenium era." Lennox argued.
"Amillennial." Seeker answered again.
"Just like in your past, right? It was either Amillennial or Post Millennial."
"Can someone explain what these terms even mean?" Meryl finally asked.
"Indeed. I didn't have time to read books and had access to everything, you know?" Quera asked.
"Premillienial assumes that the reign of the Messiah, the Christ in creating a mighty kingdom that will never fall has not yet happened. You see, the Bible talks about many promises of a mighty kingdom and this view believes that it has not yet happened."
"Sounds logical. Jesus has not yet returned." Gardo nodded.
"This view does hold that Christ will be the leader. And it so happens, that we do have two people claiming to be a type, a foreshadow, or even a sign of Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and if we're lucky, we'll find the Life."
"And yet, Lennox and Seeker do not abide in this view. Why?" Meng asked.
"Then let's discuss, Seeker's proposed path. The Amillennial view. The Amillennial view assumes that the era known as the Kingdom era where God arrives and establishes His kingdom is not to be taken literally. And most who hold this view assume that the favor of God has switched from favoring the Jews to favoring the Gentiles and that the Jews failed. With good arguments because even the Old Testament or the Bible of the Jews do have verses that indicate a New Covenant that replaces the Old. And many verses about God rejecting the Jews also surfaces. The book of Hosea comes to mind."
"Ah yes... That's what I used to get our little Jewish spy to serve us unknowingly. Even now, he is the person at the helm of regathering all the Jews back in Israel. Pridgeon still doesn't suspect a thing." Lowengren chuckled.
Alean shook her head as she recalled how Lowengren pretended to be an angel and used a combination of verses from 1 Samuel, Hosea, and Esther to transform Shark Umberton into a secret agent of the Unlocked Army.
"I've been in contact with him and the Jews are being gathered. Now I understand Seeker's actions and what you mean by half steps." Arthur nodded.
"Right... In Seeker's future, there were no Jews. So this was the only option to choose. The Eagle at that time would prove that Amillenial theology is the right one. It wasn't that it was the right one, it was the only right one to choose!" Cliff realized it.
Many turned to Cliff and had strange expressions.
"What?"
"...I'm just not used to seeing you so perspective." Arthur shrugged.
"Cliff is right. We chose Amillennial because we were without a choice. The Post Millennial assumes that the kingdom era has already passed and that the kingdom of God is here in spirit. And historically, we can even say that the rise of WGP could be that kingdom. It rose to power and controlled the world."
"Exactly. That's why it's the logical choice. We point out to people that events have happened and that a Kingdom did reign! There are always Jews in key positions of power. And wasn't WGP the same? It's very hard to verify, but we do have liars here who can spout believable conspiracy theories to make the world see the Bible as true." Lennox explained.
Many began to nod and agree.
"That is another option. One, which I prefer. And this is why I needed to talk to everyone about this before we go radio silent. We use a rather... extreme form of Pre Millennial teaching. It's going to be very risky. Because this plan requires us to let the Presiders build their bases here on Earth. Our battles and attacks are only meant to push the coming Presiders to make their base on certain locations on Earth. If this succeeds, we could convert a lot more people than ever before."
"About how much more? The risk you speak of getting Presiders to build bases and possibly create their Babels is not worth it even if it can get us two or three times more people than Seeker's timeline did."
"If it works, my conservative estimate is that the frontlines armies that we can send to fight would be ten times more!" Eagle smiled.
Everyone was startled.
In Seeker's timeline, the armies that they formed didn't even number three million soldiers! Those who were not unlocked were still forced to fight and would be in positions such as logistics, strategies, research, and so on... But if an army of thirty million unlocked were to rise, they could easily kill Top Tiers!
"Ten times?!" Seeker was amazed.
"My power depends on facts. And because the Jews exist, and the fact that you all followed my advice to add biblical terms, elements, or allusions to our military weapons, strategies, and the fights we've picked all could be used to make us prepare for a grand foreshadowing. The more things we foreshadow, the more powerful my words will be. Is that not why Quera Sapphire is here before us? Is it not why my ministry is booming?"
"You want to redo history. To be specific, you want to redo Biblical History." Arthur understood Eagle's intentions.
"Yes. The plagues of Egypt have done. He has fallen. What if we were to let the Aragarians choose the kingdoms that we see attack the Jews throughout history? What if we make these ancient kingdoms rise up, allow them to have dominance over the regions, and defeat them as we see it happen in the Bible?"
"So in the end, you want Babylon to win?"
"Yes. Pridgeon and Lanterk are allies. One holds Rome, and the other has Babylon. Oh? Speaking of the devil. They are here now. It seems that Arthur's prediction was right. They can't afford to lay idle and will attack the WGP." Eagle chuckled.
Everyone could sense it. An energy fluctuation was appearing above the World's Helm.
