Reverend Chris Okotie is the Shepherd Superintendent of the Household of God Ekklesia. This is part one of the five series of articles which give a Bible dimension to present global phenomenon
This series of articles will address the COVID – 19 pandemic. What does it betoken, what is the spiritual purport, what does it prognosticate, what are the ramifications of the things that we have had to deal with, in terms of the isolation; what I call, selective anti-socialization.
I’m going to contextualize it within Biblical revelation, and help you to appreciate what it is that is going on. People have asked me; are we dealing with the number 6-6-6, is this about the anti-christ, is this about you taking that number, and the eternal damnation that is the consequence of that. My answer is no. We’re dealing with another number that is a precursor, the preamble, like you know, the exordium, the prolegomena, something that comes before, the precursor to the number 6-6-6. It’s number 10.
So, 6-6-6 is not the number we are dealing with in this particular situation, and you need to understand it, because, Biblical numerology creates an avenue for God, to hide golden nuggets of truth within numbers, within adumbrations, patterns, or in names, and if you’re a student of the Bible, you will find that many times, Biblical truth is condensed, compressed into either a number, or a name, or a pattern, or an adumbration, and once you understand this, it’s easy for you to properly interpret scripture line upon line, and precept upon precept, and so, that’s how we’re going to precede.
But I’m coming to you in a very conversational manner, without being didactic or pedantic about the presentation, I just want to be as conversational, and talk to you about it, so that even those who do not understand Biblical information, can receive what I’m saying with as much simplicity, and avoid any kind of grandiloquence.
So we begin in Genesis, Genesis chapter one; “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, and God said, let there be light, and there was light …”Now the phrase, ‘God said’, is found ten times in the creation process, and it’s not a suggestion, it’s a command: And God commanded. And He commanded ten times, to show that He is the creator, the possessor of heaven and earth, the Emperor of heaven, the One to whom the gathering of the people is, to demonstrate that nobody challenged the creation process.
Satan was there, but he couldn’t do anything about it, because he’s just a mere creature. The diabolical companies of hell were present, but they couldn’t do anything about it. So all of the forces of hades put together, could not stop the creation, just like they could not stop the resurrection, or even the Crucifixion, because, they were a part of that.
So, God spoke ten times, to demonstrate His supremacy, His suzerainty, His authority, His power over creation and over the whole earth. And so, the number ten comes to signify that power of Almighty God that cannot be challenged. And that is why, when He created Adam, He made sure that, in making contact with the earth, He gave him ten toes, because, that number ten represents the authorization that God has given to him as the god of this world. Adam was first the god of this world before Satan became the God of this world. When Adam was the god of this world, he was in subjection to the creator, so He gave him the authority to do things that pertain to the kingdom of God, here. So, I need you to understand that. And so, that’s why He gave him ten toes, to make contact with the earth.
That is why, many times when the Lord would appear in the Old Testament, and men would stand in His presence, He would say to them; take off your shoes, because you’re standing on holy ground; that is, ground that is set apart. You know, when it’s holy. And in the Greek, it’s call hagios, hagiatso or hagiosmos. That ground is set apart. And the first holy ground is the Garden of Eden. So, when a man stands in His presence, he would say; stand on your ten toes, because you’re standing before the God who gave the earth to man.
And we see in the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that when they were in the land of Babylon, and they were invited to partake of the communion; to eat the bread and the wine of the gods of Babylon, they declined, and they said; if you would come to us ten days after, give us pulse meanwhile, and when you come back, you will discover something that will surprise you. And indeed they were very surprised when they came back, they found them to be healthier, and more robust, than all those who fed at the table of the gods of Babylon. Again, the number ten is projected in that.
When Jesus was to be crucified, God made sure that the ten toes were brought together and nailed by one nail, to establish that authority. His hands were spread apart, but His feet were brought together, to establish that. And God made sure, that He was hanging in the air when that was done, because, He couldn’t receive the sin of the world, with His ten toes on the ground, if He did that, the world would become cataclysmic. It would be even more chaotic than what happened in the day of Adam, because, as the last Adam, it would affect creation.
So God made sure that He was elevated, and at the time He took the sin of the world, His feet couldn’t touch the ground until He was dead, and a dead man cannot transmit sin or bear the consequence of sin. And so, when He was put in the tomb, He had no shoes on, and when He rose again from the dead, He stood bare feet in that tomb, where He was placed at the time of His death.
So, the number ten is very important, that is why you find that, in drawing up a synopsis, a summary of the laws He gave to Israel, He made them ten. They are called the Ten Commandments; Ten Commandments, not twelve, not fourteen, not twenty. Ten Commandments, because they demonstrate the supremacy of God, as the only potentate; the King of kings who dwells in the light that no man can approach unto. Can you say amen to that?
There is a man who is the protagonist of this whole process that we are seeing today. His name is Bill Gates, and he is the one that I’m going to be referring to, and I’ve put out the information here, to let you see how he is connected to the number ten. His name is William Henry Gates, and he’s the third generation of his family. His grandfather; William Henry Gates, his father; William Henry Gates, and then himself; William Henry Gates, the third. Alright, now, for you to understand why he was chosen, you need to understand what the Bible calls patterns. Now, when you read the scripture, you will come across patterns, what we call types and shadows. For instance, when Moses went to get the design of the temple, in the Old Testament, Paul tells us in Hebrews, that God said to him, ‘See that you make the tabernacle, according to the pattern that was shown you on the holy mount’.
When God wants to demonstrate His power on earth, He begins with patterns, or what we call shadows, or types, or adumbrations. Some people will probably understand, when I say that, okay, your destiny can be affected by another. They say, how does that work? Now some people understand that, some people don’t. So, if a man wants to steal your destiny, I mean, to make it as simplistic, what the enemy would do; that is satan, he would create a pattern, exactly like what God has created concerning you, and juxtapose that pattern with yours, and then divert the power of Almighty God, into that same pattern, here on the face of the earth, because, the patterns control the flow of power.
And that is how someone can say well, I’m supposed to be prosperous, but somebody else is prospering, he has usurped, or taken over, my destiny. It’s done through patterns or adumbrations. If you remember, before He was crucified, He rode into the city of Jerusalem, and there were those who were standing there, and chanting the Messianic psalm; blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord: That is a pattern. If He didn’t do that, He cannot return as the King of the Jews, that pattern had to be established.
Before He went to the cross after He had been beaten by the Roman soldiers, they put a crown on Him, and they gave him a reed, and then put a robe on him, and then bowed before Him, and said; Hail, King of the Jews.
If they didn’t do that, Jesus would not come back as the ultimate potentate, and overcome the power of Rome; the revised or regenerated Roman Empire that is going to be in place during the tribulation. If they didn’t say that to Him; Hail, King of the Jews, He won’t have preeminence over the Romans. So, that pattern was placed, to make sure that the reality transpires.
Satan decided that in the year 2020; if you look at the year 2020, it’s 10, 10, 10, 10, that means, ten four times, and the number four, is the number of creation. So, this year was particularly chosen by satan, as the year that he would challenge the power of Almighty God, the authority of Almighty God, upon the face of the earth, in preparation for the coming of the antichrist. Now, how is he going to do it? First, he has to get a man, who has the pattern, and that man, is Bill Gates; are you still here? From all of the things that I’ve already shared with you? And then, there will be a conspiracy, to bring a pandemic, sickness, a disease, whatever it is. Why is it that important? Because, the curse of the law, which involves sickness and disease, was dealt with when Jesus went to the cross. And the sacrifice was accepted.
So, if the earth is going to accept a challenge, coming from the god of this world, it must refer to something that God has already dealt with, spiritually. So, he brings a disease, and names it COVID – 19, and attaches the number ten, to it. And the protagonist will be Bill Gates, whose number is ten. Now, I hope that you’re following me? Now, what would they do? They will create panic, fear, in the whole world, because that’s the only way that the enemy can control man, the way that God controls man, through faith. So, instead of the fidelity towards God, it will be the perfidy, unbelief, towards God.
If we look at the life of Bill Gates, we begin with his birth.
Now, there’s a graph that I’ve placed here, that will help you, there’s some information I have placed on a board here that will help you see it more graphically. The man is sixty-four years old, he was born on the 28 of October 1955. Now, October is the tenth month, so that’s the number ten. 1955, if you calculate it numerically, Biblically, you 1 and 9, 5 and 5, it gives you 10, 10. So, you see, his age is 64; 6 plus 4, again it comes to 10; this number that is identified with the power of Almighty God, demonstrating His supremacy. So, when the enemy, when satan wants to challenge that, he would make sure that, whoever is the instrumentality for that challenge, bears the number 10. And that is why Bill Gates has that number, identifying him, as the chief protagonist of this concept, of the opposition of the Almighty God, created by the Luciferians, right here in our own world.
So you need to understand how that plays out, because, once you understand the patterns, then you will understand the seriousness of what is at stake. That is why, at this point in time, you have been asked to remain in your house, because he must challenge the authourity of Almighty God. One of the things that makes God … The primary reason why you can say, this person is God, is because He is the one who sits, when creation gathers. Jacob made a reference to Him, when he was pronouncing the benedictions on his family, in Genesis chapter 49. And he said; “… The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the law giver from between his feet, until Shiloh come, and unto Him, shall the gathering of the people be”. See, that’s a reference to God, because it is the gathering, the congregation that determines who God is.
And that is why, when satan spoke in Isaiah, in the 14th chapter, he said, I will exalt my throne, first, he said I will ascend into heaven, then he said I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, then in the third I will, he said, I will sit upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north.
See, before he talked about exulting his throne above the height of the clouds. Because that is what makes God who he is, then he said, I will be like the Most High … he demonstrated that he is not God, because he said that I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. He wasn’t speaking of himself. And then he said, I will be like the most high, so, he knows the difference between himself and the Most High. Are you still here? But the point I’m making is that the congregation is what makes God who He is, and therefore, if he’s going to challenge God, he must make sure that the pattern follows what the Bible accepts.
That’s why the antichrist cannot change his number from 6-6-6 to anything else, because, the pattern has already been created in scripture. If he comes to this world, and says, I am 4-4-4, I’m 9-9-9, that pattern is not found in scripture, and therefore, the power that is necessary, to carry his plans to fruition, will not be exercised. So he must stick within the pattern. So he must accept his number as 6-6-6. And therefore, Bill Gates is called, the Commander of the Ten, just like Moses, because, it is through his name that you see that. His name Will-I Am, speaks of the will, and I am: God works all things after the counsel of His own will.
