Literal zombie apocalypse prophecy in the Bible...!!

Hi ATS,

In my posts regarding Biblical events, prophecy, psalms & other sources which detail the judgments* which are handed down, I am always careful to point out that almost all incidences of such judgment can be tied to very specific crimes by very specific groups, such as the rulers & priests of the Kingdoms of Judah & Israel, who were originally covenanted back in the days of Moses to stand as a light in darkness, obeying God's laws & showing themselves as an example of holiness to the watching world.

* For such crimes as open rebellion against God, demon worship, child murder, oppression/ murder of the poor, enslavement of orphans & theft of property from widows (etc..)

They were (with the benefit of hindsight & an awareness of a great amount of context) supposed to be the shining example of new standards of morality in the Middle East & around the known world - a "city on a Hill, whose light cannot be hidden" - to herald the eventual prophesied arrival on Earth of 'Yeshua (Jesus) Messiah', 'the Christ', who would be known as saviour to all peoples, delivering us from all sorts of sin & darkness, a releaser of the captives, healer of the sick, the King of Creation..

It didn't quite work out as planned in terms of the Hebrew preparation phase, because time & time again, Israel & Judah rebelled openly against the covenant they had agreed back in Moses' time, and the rulers/ priests willfully led the people into all sorts of absolute wickedness, some examples of which I listed above. These crimes were recorded by the prophets & the scribes who prepared the various books of Old Testament scripture, along with the specific judgments which were to be implemented as a direct consequence of one sin or another, with the proviso that the punishment would not be implemented if those concerned would 'repent' (which literally means 'change your mind') & turn instead to a path of righteousness & honesty before God. Most of the time, they would not heed the warning, or the opportunity to turn things around, and so they spent a lot of time in exile, they lost crops & livestock, and many people lost their lives..

We're not talking about pseudo-sin, such as 'not believing in Jesus', often parroted today as being a 'sin' deserving of 'Hell' (a supposed 'Hell', which doesn't actually exist - I'm happy to discuss via pm). No, this was a serious business - God was constantly angered by unjust persecution of the weak by the strong, by the rich oppressing the poor - and it was invariably some manifestation of that principle of oppression which led to the prophets delivering the sometimes horrible judgments, intended to capture the attention of the nation & set them back on a path towards their covenenat obligations.

What is important to understand is that this expectation of certain behavioural & contractual standards was not without its incredible rewards, if they did things properly.. The Jews were uncommonly blessed in all their affairs, purely because they follow the covenant laws of God. When they broke faith with God by rebelling or oppressing the poor, etc, then they became subject to judgment. It's relevant to note that a major reason a lot of people have hated the Jews in times past was jealousy - they were blessed with health, long life & prosperity, and this still occurs today, because there are many Jews who consciously abide by the Old Testament principles, receiving blessing in due season. This has led to accusations of all sorts of things, most of which are unfounded.

Deuteronomy 30:15

But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it. See, I have set before you today life and goodness, as well as death and disaster. Fo r I am commanding you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, statutes, and ordinances, so that you may live and increase, and the LORD your God may bless you in the land that you are entering to possess.…

This was an incredible proposition for life, goodness, blessing & increase, and all that was required was to follow the guidelines presented to Moses through the Law, and later, to follow the guidance of the prophets, who were men & women whom God selected to 'course correct' the fledgling nation of Israel in their quest to raise the moral standards of the known world, and to prepare the ground for God incarnate to manifest His embodiment on Earth, to fulfil the salvation covenant of renewal & rebirth, re-energised & anointed for great wonders, miracles & comfort for the people who choose to follow in what the early church called simply, "The Way". This involved direct connection with God by the anointing & indwelling of the Lord's Spirit within the spirit/soul of the believer, accompanied by spiritual gifts which make life both easier & more miraculous, more wondrous, when they are applied properly.

Having explained some of the context of the Judeo-Christian tradition, and its ultimate purpose in raising moral standards in the world, and bringing people to a direct knowledge of & communion with God through Christ - it is time to reveal the remarkable - and terrifying - prophecy which details a literal Zombie Apocalypse at the time when 'the End' is upon us.

By various workings of spiritual wickedness in the world, we are trending towards a time in which morals will be effectively destroyed, in which the righteous conduct of former times is dismissed as foolish & inconsequential, when a majority of the ordinary people, the masses, will have absorbed (from deliberately Satanic media & social policies directed by a fifth column of infernal servants of the Devil: =18743&tl_period_type=3&mc_cid=a412131e7d&mc_eid=e14e7fd162]How Satanism conquered America: Untrammelled individualism is no longer a sin - the acceptance of practices which are morally outrageous, including the normalisation of paedophilia which we are seeing unfolding in 'woke' circles even now. We are also seeing the nihilistic trends of the World Economic Foundation & others who unleashed a 'plandemic' on the world, along with noxious, toxic 'vaccines', which have maimed & killed on a huge scale already, with huge numbers now likely to die young from conditions such as blood clots, heart attacks, aneurysms, strokes, and so on, as well as paralysis & various neurological diseases also leading many to experience chronic disability as these conditions begin to manifest in the coming years.

Ultimately, the moral decay & emerging technocracy, with intent levelled at developing Transhumanism for the wealthy, as well as depopulation by eugenics policies & the destruction of the middle classes, etc, the overthrow of conventional world governments (etc) will result in a series of regional wars, resulting in a series of alliances combining to escalate into a world war of sorts - and somehow, in the midst of all this, Israel will fall out of favour with the rest of the nations (I don't pretend to know how exactly this will happen). But basically, Israel will be attacked on all sides by multiple allied powers, and if it were not for the protection of God, the nation of Israel would cease to exist.

Here's the prophecy which describes a literal Zombie Apocalyse - tell me that isn't exactly what is predicted by this text:

Zechariah 14:12-21

...the Lord will send a plague on all the nations that fought against Jerusalem. Their people will become like walking corpses, their flesh rotting away. Their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. On that day they will be terrified, stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will fight their neighbors hand to hand. Judah, too, will be fighting at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the neighboring nations will be captured—great quantities of gold and silver and fine clothing. This same plague will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the other animals in the enemy camps.

In the end, the enemies of Jerusalem who survive the plague will go up to Jerusalem each year to worship the King, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, and to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.

.............

On that day even the harness bells of the horses will be inscribed with these words: Holy to the lord. And the cooking pots in the Temple of the Lord will be as sacred as the basins used beside the altar. In fact, every cooking pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. All who come to worship will be free to use any of these pots to boil their sacrifices. And on that day there will no longer be traders in the Temple of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

Firstly, see the bolded text in the first paragraph - that is a bona fide Zombie Apocalypse. Walking corpses, bodies rotting away to nothing yet still destructive & mobile - hand to hand fighting with anyone in their path.

Secondly, note that the plague also affects animals - that's an interesting detail which may tell us something about the nature of this 'plague'. Either way it undermines the attacking strength of the enemy forces, so that's probably why it occurs.

Thirdly, note that when this is happening, there will be an overflow of the Spirit in Israel/Judah, such that even common/mundane articles such as pots & pans will suddenly be as acceptable for temple sacrifices as the original Temple articles, which were zealously guarded & handled with great care according to strict rules by the priestly class. The fact that any old iron will be sufficiently holy to mean that they can be equivocated with the original, holy articles, means that God is in Jerusalem at this time, literally flooding everything with His holiness.

The punishment of the surrounding nations is severe, because in this context the enemy commanders & political rulers of those nations will be absolutely aware that the literal God of Heaven is manifesting in Jerusalem, making the whole place into a holy fortress, the fabled Mount Zion, where the peoples of the world can come to be in the presence of God, to learn, to love, to be healed, to receive guidance. Recall that He will reign for a thousand years of peace, in the aftermath of what the prophet Daniel calls "..a time of trouble such as never before seen, even since the founding of the nations". This is clearly a time of multiple regional & ultimately global wars, with many other unfortunate knock-on effects. But those who remain will psychotically challenge God, when He is ruling from Jerusalem, leading to the final tribulation of those enemy forces, the literal Zombie Apocalypse, before the remnant who were not affected by the plague finally see the light, and determine that attacking the God of all Creation is a bad plan. These will then join in with the festivities of the festivals & pilgrimages which are implemented in the thousand year reign.

It's a hard teaching, but it's there for a good & proper reason - just as with Israel in the old days, the nations who attack Jerusalem simply won't know what's good for them, until after they witness the effects of attacking one's Creator. It's essentially fighting against oneself, and so walking death is the ironic weapon used in said combat - it's a massive exaggeration of self-sabotage, but one assumes it won't take long to recognise the error of one's ways in this situation. There is no Hell - death & oblivion is the ultimate punishment for rebellion against God & all other heainous crimes, though there may be a place of limited torment where one is placed prior to the Great White Throne judgment, a place of sorrows, shadows, loss of peace, prior to oblivion, to repay the criminal for the evil which was done during life. The 'poisoned astral' (the infected realms of the astral planes, where spiritual wickedness dwells, the arid land reported by Jesus as the place where the demons go when they have been cast out of a host..)

So there you go - Zombie Apocalypse prophesied in the Bible. Hard teaching, lots to unpack. I hope I did a reasonable job of framing such a harsh punishment in the proper total context, which it should be understood in accordance with.

Thanks, FITO.



NB - please can we stay on topic & not get distracted by one's own personal beliefs about God, atheism & such, unless it is directly relevant to the topic at hand. Simply posting "God's a load of rubbish, doesn't exist, God is evil, etc, etc" really doesn't add anything useful to the discussion. Keep it civil & open up the conversation rather than spouting off with some personal acrimony. It always seems to happpen in threads where God is mentioned.

The bible, especially in prophecies, were written for the time it was written. Not now. The enemies of Jerusalem were the enemies back 2500yrs ago. The plague is a creative curse sentencing their enemies to a torment. In 1300AD, they probably used these verses to describe the Black Death saying the bible predicted that. You are describing a Zombie Apocalypse because, um, you're a fan of the Walking Dead and you have a vivid imagination with intense confusion and trepidation toward the future?

a reply to: AcrobaticDreams

No trepidation here, and yes I can agree that in some respects a great deal of prophecy referred to times 'back then' - but you're undermining the prophetic nature of the work itself, given that there are dozens of prophecies of the arrival of the Messiah, an event which certainly was not 'local time' in relative terms of when He would actually appear, sometimes over a thousand years after the words were first written down.

There are certainly prophetic lines in scripture which refer to our times, you're clearly in the camp which states that prophecy doesn't travel far forwards in time - what then of Daniel's prophecy, where the angel told him to "seal up the scroll, for it is for a far future time... when knowledge will increase"...?

You can't state with authority that prophetic words written thousands of years ago can't be relevant in any context today, because if you try to do so, you are placing limits on what God can do with His revealed Word. It is a multidimensional work which can indeed be taken to be predictive of far future events in some respects.

We are on different wavelengths of understanding and therefore will never come to an agreement about this matter. You surely believe you are correct and I surely believe you're just lost and clinging to this because the alternative is scarier. I won't begrudge you of that and I think this might actually be healthier for you mentally.

Contrary to popular beliefs and disbeliefs the military industrial complex seems to have plans for such an event.

In 2011 the CDC released a very unusual 36 page graphic novel entitled "Preparedness 101: Zombie Pandemic" produced by Defense contractor Northrop Grumman. (imagine that!)

CDC Zombie Apocalypse Blog

Gen. Glen D. VanHerck promoted & nominated by Trump is now the Commander of NORAD & Northcom. Gen VanHerck was leading these mock zombie apocalypse exercises in 2013 on several Air Force bases. An Op on how to stop hordes of people from getting into Cheyenne Mountain.

Aside from the RAND/Pentagon boys who plan for every contingency possible and many of us normie folks cannot even imagine, it still makes me wonder why some such Ops are carried out and where did they get the original Zombie idea.? Yea, I know it coincides right after the first season of Walking Dead, but the MIC does not get ideas from Hollywood. Though maybe for an experiment to see how people react.

I often wonder if the " WIND OF CHANGE " is always the same when it comes to history of the past ?

It was meant to be humorous , without anyone taking it serious .
This was published due to the original "World War Z" books and website becoming very popular at the time .
Evidently , some can't take a joke .

Idk man strange wording. So some suggest that these describe older times which may be true or may not be. I find the wording for a plague describing hand to hand combat strange, sick people can’t usually fight so well, sick people with no eyes or tongues.., what would their motives be? It couldn’t be good or wealth, what would they be fighting for and how would they do it sick like that?

a reply to: FlyInTheOintment

Israel means those who struggle with God.

Zachariah’s is saying people will waste away being disgusted by themselves and be disgusting to look upon. They will have used their eyes to lust and their mouths to blasphemy so they will be rotten and wasted. They will be alive but dead on the inside.
I see them everyday and they aren’t zombies. We live in a world surrounded by them.
Zachariah also says before that mountains will be leveled and seas will become alive. And all enemies flesh and their animals will be consumed. And the day will be not clear nor dark. Sounds like when a nuclear bomb is dropped.

That's how I've always looked at it too.

The only part of your comment that I question is whether flesh rotting away and their eyes rotting in their sockets is metaphorical because those verses say that it was caused by a "plague" and that "the same plague" would hit their horses and other animals. If it was a metaphor for sinfulness, the same plague wouldn't have an impact on their animals.

There are other verses in the Bible that lead me to believe that a nuclear weapon is involved too, such as...

Ezekiel 39:14-15

14 “They will set apart men regularly employed, with the help of a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search. 15 The search party will pass through the land; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog.

Will they be burying anything that's been affected by radioactive material? Is "cleansing the land" just a metaphor for getting rid of every bone of every person that came from an enemy? Not sure.

your post...in part....

This same plague will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the other animals in the enemy camps.

Ebola... mostly happening in Africa... is being described

it is not some Walking Dead Plague that will strike

Ebola is also known as a 'flesh eating disease --- --- perhaps the future rocket attacks from the Gaza stronghold will be the delivery system to all of Israel...and infect all peoples in the middle east from Turkey to Iran to Ethiopia and Egypt

I have to say, your assertions that I am somehow afraid, scared of the future, or scared of an interpretation of scripture which places prophetic events firmly in the past, is damn infuriating. I have absolutely no fear, because I know my God is with me. What on earth is it in the OP that gives you the impression that I live my life in fear, of prophetic interpretations or of zombie apocalypse, if you're being literalist about things? You have no right to accuse me of fearfulness, because there is absolutely nothing even in my posting history across the site that suggests I'm in any way fearful of these things. I put the word 'terrifying' in the title because that's how most people would react to the plague which is described in the text. Not because I personally am afraid of becoming a zombie, or being attacked by zombies, or being butthurt about being wrong regarding the manner in which to interpret prophecies!

To be perfectly frank, your attitude is arrogant & offers no room for the Spirit of God to move in order to convince you that some prophecies refer to times which are far in the future. Yes, I'm perfectly comfortable with the fall of Jerusalem under Nero being the proper interpretation of the Beast 666, etc. The statue of Nero being the abomination that leads to desolation, and so on. But Daniel's prophecies are clearly for the End Times themselves, a time when 'knowledge will increase', and 'people will rush to & fro'. A time when we will see a literal archangel rise up & destroy the rulers who have abused the people of the world & possibly gathered for wars which will lead to war against Israel, in the time when the Lord returns to stand on the Mount of Olives, a time of great signs & wonders which have never before occurred on the Earth.

Your interpretation is staid & flawed - some prophecy refers to what is now our past, but some refers to far future times, very advanced in years beyond the time when the prophets wrote their mysteries. I don't believe anyone has such a total grasp of the meaning of prophetic scripture that they can claim without a doubt that all written prophecy has already occurred. It's arrogant & fascetious to claim thus. You're right - we won't agree, if you are too set in your errant ways to believe that God might be doing something that you haven't yet fully understood.

That's a problem of humility, which is in fact a matter for you & God to resolve. If you don't have the humility to recognise that your knowledge of scripture is imperfect, what hope is there for true understanding ever to enter your heart? Are you also of the opinion that the New Testament spiritual gifts as listed by the apostles are no longer in operation? If so, then I can assure you very clearly that you are wrong on that front too, as I've been experiencing those gifts in abundance for over 20 years, it would be absurd to claim that He has not poured His Spirit out upon us in fulfilment of what are certainly post-Christ future times, as prophesied by the prophet Joel.

Good stuff, used in a lot of books and movies over the years. The Bible has inspired a lot of popular ideas over the ages.

I'd like to see a list of Biblical plagues and the symptoms associated with them. It wouldn't be farfetched to suppose that everyone of the Biblical plagues could be engineered in a present day bio-lab.

a reply to: Deetermined

Even the inferior creatures often suffer for the sin of man, and in his plagues. It could be saying that the plague is sin and everything is infected with it. I could see either way of interpreting it that way.
It says they buried the dead because of the smell from them. The smell will stop the passerbys so they shall bury the dead until all are buried and then they will rest. Seven in Paleo-Hebrew means you do the job until you are done and then can rest. Hence in the beginning it took 6 days to finish then on the 7th he rested.

a reply to: FlyInTheOintment

I am at a total loss for words. I'll have to go through it again. It sounds plausible to me, but the "devil" is in the details, (no pun intended).
