Charisma News Promotes Claim that David Rockefeller’s Death Was Predicted in a Bible Code

From Michael Snyder at Charisma News:

Shocking Bible Code Matrix Contains the Exact Day And Year That David Rockefeller Would Die

…Bible code researcher Kara Pickering has found an incredible Bible code matrix that contains the phrase “Rockefeller dies” along with the terms “Chase”, “Manhattan”, “2017” and the specific date on the Hebrew calendar (Adar 22) when he actually died.

Of course, David Rockefeller served as the CEO of Chase Manhattan for over a decade, and he was widely considered to be one of the strongest proponents of a “New World Order.”

…You can view the original Bible code matrix created by Kara Pickering right here. In the chart above, you can see that “hell” shows up five times, but she told us it is actually in there quite a few more times.

“Bible codes” is an idea that simply won’t die, despite having been thoroughly debunked (as discussed in the The Forward in 2012). Pickering’s method is opaque, but it yields bizarre diagrams in which words and numbers are linked via a web of cross-cutting multicoloured lines. Unusually, she uses the entire Hebrew Bible as her corpus, rather than just the Torah.

Snyder, meanwhile, is a former attorney turned “End Times” conspiracy theorist, and he regularly uses the influential evangelical/Pentecostal news service Charisma News to promote fantastical apocalyptic scenarios that are more akin to science-fiction than historic Christianity – in particular, he has warned that CERN may be about to “tear open a portal to another dimension”; that the opening ceremony of the Gotthard Base Tunnel in Switzerland may have been an “Illuminati Ritual Intended to Honor Satan”; and that the archaeological reconstruction of an arch from Palmyra destroyed by ISIS may facilitate the arrival of the anti-Christ. Ahead of the US election, he also made forays into pro-Trump fake news, at one point warning that Hilary Clinton would probably be dead of natural causes by election day.

Pickering expands on Rockefeller’s “globalism” on her website:

Globalist, David Rockefeller, dies at age 101 on Monday- March 20, 2017.    Rockefeller was a key member of the Bilderberg group, the founder of the Trilateral Commission, the head of Chase Manhattan Corp. and an advocate for Global Government, known to many as the New World Order.

Bible Codes detail the day this evil man went to Hell.

Her other Bible Code divinations include “Get Prepared! ‘American Famine’ REVEALED in Bible Codes!“; “‘OPERATION: DECEPTION,’ BOMBSHELL Bible Code Reveals- Nephilim, CERN, and the Opening of the Abyss; “‘Temple Restored’ Bible Code Matrix: The Soon Coming Third Temple Revealed!“; “The ‘ON GOLGOTHA’ Bible Code Matrix CONFIRMS: Spear of Destiny, Yeshua’s Sacrifice, and the Blood that trickled down the Crevice onto the Mercy Seat“‘ and “‘The Woman in Travail’-Bible Code Links: Nibiru, Virgo and Aliyah?.

References to “Nibiru” and the “Spear of Destiny” indicate involvement in an conspiracy milieu that while here joined to a form of Christian fundamentalism, is actually distinct from it. The influence of this kind of thing on US evangelicalism more generally becomes more apparent when someone like Thomas Horn takes to the sofa of the Jim Bakker Show.

Pickering is a personal friend of Snyder and his wife Merenda (née Devan), and her ideas are also promoted by a certain Jake Ruchotzke, who has a podcast called Seek 4 Truth – she recently appeared on an episode alongside none other than Carl Gallups, the birther (and Sandy Hook truther) pastor who is frequently promoted by WND (Gallups was on to talk about “witches and Freemasons within the church”). Ruchotzke is also part of a project called SkyWatchTV, which also involves Horn and Derek Gilbert, whose wife Sharon wrote a book about the End Times significance of Ebola. I wrote about some of these figures previously here.
