Zeitgeist 2025: Spirit of an Epoch 00:08:48
Zeitgeist 2025.
Do you want to tell us what that means?
Sure.
Yeah.
Zeit is it that this term is a compound German word.
Probably most anybody could tell that it's a German word.
It's made up of two different words.
The word Zeit, which means time or an era or an epoch.
And then the word Geist is the German word for ghost.
You're probably familiar with the term poltergeist.
Right.
Noisy ghost.
But in this case, Zeitgeist is typically translated as the spirit.
That's where Geist comes in.
But the spirit of the age, the spirit of an epoch.
And there have been Zeitgeists in the past.
So like in the lead up to the Marxist Revolution, there were contagious ideas, memes among the population that grew to embrace the rise of the ideas of Marxism, happening in the United States of America too, right now.
And all of the polling showing that a majority of Americans, at least are saying that they support the idea of socialism over capitalism, Marxism, communism.
So we are in, currently we are in a zeitgeist.
We are in a moment in time that is heading towards an epochal event in which the popular ideas of today, the memes of today, the contagious ideas of today are driving us to embrace things that are frankly anti-American and I believe demonic.
But that's where the spiritual, the Geist side of this comes in.
A great example of this was the French Revolution.
During the French Revolution, while we were having the American Revolution over here that was all being fought for the purposes of freedom, liberty, God, in France, they were going through a revolution too, and it was anti-God.
And the historians of the time write about it, and I found a historian who wrote about the French Revolution, and his name was Cazot.
But the most amazing thing he wrote, he said, it appeared to us that the French Revolution came under the influence of an egregore.
Now, an egregor is the Greek word for watcher, a powerful fallen angel.
And the more that the people embraced the ideas of the French Revolution, the more that it fueled and grew the power of this spirit and its influence.
Until finally, it became utterly anti-God.
It was all about stamping out Christianity.
They marched into the church at Notre Dame and put an image of a nude woman on the altar and proclaimed the God of Christianity dead.
They were killing Christians.
I mean, tens of thousands of believers beheaded in the guillotines under Robespierre.
It just became a horrific mess that ultimately wound up in decay.
But the fact that this historian attributed it to a Zeitgeist, to a spirit that was operating throughout France at the time and growing as a result, being nurtured, if you will, fed off of these negative, terrible ideas that one way or another became popular throughout France.
Saw the same thing in Nazi Germany.
Most Germans will look back today and say, we can't figure out how in the world we ever supported this guy named Hitler.
How did this ever happen?
And of course, historians have been puzzling over that ever since.
But there was no doubt that Hitler and those around him, the Reich, they were definitely being influenced by dark supernaturalism, haters of God, haters of Israel, God's covenant people, set about to selectively exterminate the people of the Holy Land.
So those are very negative forces and spirits.
So where, to answer your question, where did the title for the book come from?
It's that I believe that we are in an era right now that is increasingly adopting, espousing, promoting socialist Marxist ideas that is marching toward, by the way, the year 2025 for the implementation of a totalitarian world government.
That's really what this book lays out.
And by the way, it is not just Tom Horne's idea.
There have been historians going back over the last few decades like William Strauss and Neil Howell, who wrote the book called The Fourth Turning.
And I recommend to people, it's not a religious book, it's not Christian, although it's very prophetic, but it's not a Christian book.
But these professors spent years examining over 500 years of Western developmental history.
And they found that there were very clear patterns, what they call turnings.
And a turning happens approximately every 25 years.
And what they discovered was, this was even true in the fall of Rome and all of it, that a turning happens every 25 years.
So what happens is it starts with what they call the dreamers.
These are the people who come together and they have a great idea.
They're going to build a great culture.
That is followed 25 years later by who we would call the Industrial Revolution.
These are the people that put shoulder to the plow and they build it.
They make it happen.
They build everything from the infrastructure to the military to whatever it takes to make it work.
And that's what they saw in Western history is that's when nations will start becoming their best, becoming their greatest.
They have grand ideas that they espouse to.
But then the third turning comes along.
And that's a parasitical generation that basically live off of what they become entitled.
And what Strauss and Howe foresaw was that we would enter that period of time around the time of the Obama administration.
They really believed that during that era, we were midway through a third turning.
And of course, what do you see?
The great generation is gone.
All the people that fought wars, built this great nation, knew what they were about, clearly had a vision.
Now you have a generation, everything's free.
And you have the current administration and the extreme left that are really playing off of the fact that people today feel entitled.
We're going to give you everything.
Just support us, vote for us.
Everything's going to be free.
You don't got to worry about nothing.
Well, that is not sustainable.
If one thing we've learned through socialism, communism, it's the best way in the world to destroy a good nation and bring it to its knees.
Well, Strauss and Howe saw that, but then guess what?
And here's something I would tell people.
Why would I pay any attention to Strauss and Howe?
First of all, because they are historians.
They did a fabulous job supported by facts.
But in their book, which was written 25 years ago, so before 9-1-1, you know, we just commemorated 9-1-1 here in the United States of America.
Before 9-1-1, they wrote in their book, they said, we foresee a cataclysm is coming, a catastrophe is coming.
We imagine that this could be terrorists seizing passenger airliners and crashing them into iconic buildings that will then set in motion the growth of what we would call the Patriot Act, a surveillance state, where people begin surrendering their civil liberties and the state begins and the Fed begins to grow in its power and authority and the suspension of civil rights.
They said, we think that will be followed by something like a contagion, a coronavirus, which is going to further Bring about the result of the diminishing of civil liberties and also the beginning of mandatory things like vaccines and things like that.
So, go back, you can get a copy of the book that has the copyright from 25 years ago in which they're writing about this.
So, I started looking at these guys and saying, Well, you might be running from your calling, but you guys are prophets, right?
They accurately foresaw that.
Well, then, why would I talk about that in here?
Because they also specifically named the year 2025.
They named it 25 years ago as what they saw as the epic moment in which a global world totalitarian government would be formed as a result of chaotic events that brings essentially the whole world to its knees through things like bioterrorism and different kinds of disease strains and contagions.
Everything they wrote has come to pass.
