Considering Future Outcomes: “Strategic Intelligence Analysis of Prophecy”?!

For anyone who has been following global events and trends in recent decades, there is very good cause for increasing concern. In the last 20 years or more, I’ve heard many opposing predictions and prophecies about what may happen with the USA, Europe, Russia and other countries. On the one hand, there are hard facts about things like national debt, central banks, out of control immigration, artificial intelligence, political agendas, shadow governments, civil divisions, war and natural disasters that cannot be ignored. On the other hand, there are many prophecies that seem to foretell dramatically opposing outcomes for good or evil. On top of that is what God has repeatedly shown me about my own global energy tech invention and how it will change the world. If you try to sort out all the above opposing factors, you’re going to end up very confused. What I want to do today is consider an unusual, but very rational approach to sorting out potential future outcomes based on both natural and supernatural sources of information in a way that will give us a solid basis for what to expect for the future.

Intelligence Analysis Of Prophecy??

Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:
Ecclesiastes 7:27 (KJV)

To set the stage, I want to say a little about where I’m coming from so you can get a basic idea of how much weight to put on anything I say here. In my former career, I was (among other things) an intelligence officer in the Air Force. Most of what we did was at the lower levels of tactics and operations and I did not have too much involvement in strategic affairs. Having said that, I did have many glimpses of how strategic planning is done for things like major theater war, attack operations against specific targets in various nations, nuclear attack options, and overall (pre-)positioning of forces and assets based on the actions of other nations.

Switching to the supernatural now… I myself do not receive prophecies from God about national or global events because that is not my assignment. As a result, I am often left having to listen to what others say and then try to piece them together in order to get some idea of what to expect for future events.

When it comes to knowing the future, neither prophets nor analysts are infallible. Just because we believe strongly in what we hear from our favorite popular figure, that does not mean what they say is sure to happen. I’ve seen events in recent years catch prophets off guard and then the subsequent switching back and forth of prophetic words which caused great confusion. There have been times when I got so fed up with prophecies that I no longer wanted to hear them anymore. I’ve also seen that timelines have either (seemingly) expanded or contracted based on sudden changes in global events and likewise gave the appearance of contradictions in prophecies.

Around 2011, when I was just learning that there were modern day prophets, I had what I thought to be the reasonable belief that whatever a prophet spoke was 100% true and unchangeable. I figured, since they could hear from God in a way that I did not, they must have access to perfect knowledge of future events and therefore, their words were an exact, unwavering prediction of the future. Well… that was an obviously novice understanding and I’ve since learned how complex prophecies can be and how much can change after the words are spoken.

In the past 15 years or so, I’ve learned so much about the prophetic realm that I began to realize that you could almost do what I learned as an intelligence officer and conduct an analysis on them. Coming from a guy who used to approach life from an analytical perspective, then making an abrupt switch to learning about the prophetic / supernatural realm, and then to return to using analytical methods is quite a strange turn of events.

Proven Strategic Analytical Method: LAMP

For the sake of letting you know I do have practical experience in analysis, I want to let you see a paper I wrote in 2007 about the future of Iraq. The paper was an assignment I completed for a strategic intelligence master’s degree program at American Military University. The class required us to use a 12-step analytical method created by Dr Jonathan Lockwood called the “Lockwood Analytical Method of Prediction” (LAMP). This course was the first time I had ever learned an actual method of conducting analysis and I was very interested in what Dr Lockwood taught.

We were required to apply the in-depth LAMP process on a global matter of our choice and there was a minimum number of pages for the assignment. I chose a very relevant topic at the time because, I myself wanted to know what was likely to happen when the US withdrew its military forces from Iraq. At the completion of the course, I turned in my 50 page paper and received a very surprising grade of 100%.

What will become of Iraq if the US withdraws its Military Forces before the Country becomes stabilized (Michals, Christopher. 2007. AMU Course Paper.)

To prove the LAMP method works, my above paper contained a long list of very detailed and extensive research with predictions that were well articulated. In the end, the US withdraw of forces from Iraq more or less turned out exactly as I had predicted. The paper by itself did not make me an “intelligence analyst expert” but, it was the best course I ever took where a specific method of conducting proper analysis was set forth. For a list of all students who used the LAMP process, along with their papers, you can find them (along with mine) at this portal: LAMP eCommons.

At the time I wrote my paper, I was new to the field of intelligence and I felt like I had no idea how to do proper intelligence analysis. The whole subject seemed very intimidating to me so I was very shocked to see my perfect grade on that assignment. Many years later now, I have learned a few more things about global affairs and what goes on behind the scenes to cause certain major events to happen. Beyond that, I have also learned a lot about prophecies and how real life events and circumstances connect to produce an outcome.

With that said, having recently gone back and read my paper again, I realized that I’m now at the stage where I can combine my former intelligence analysis experience with my more recent understanding of prophecy and global events to attempt decent analytical predictions about future outcomes. Whether or not anyone else has ever done such a thing before is unknown to me but when the idea hit me, it seemed like something very new and unique.

Let’s Try This…

In order to attempt a proper analysis of any future event, there needs to be very clear rules that are strictly followed, just like the 12-step LAMP process. One of those rules will be that all analysis is done on a purely unbiased basis. Every factor that is considered can be given differing levels of weight based on the source but, those weights must be ascribed by valid measurement assessments. I’m not trying to say I have a new analytical formula in mind at this point but at the least, I know that such analysis can be done with fairly high accuracy in predicting the possibility of certain outcomes.

What I’ve been learning about life in general is that, to be successful at any new venture, you need to start with a good solid plan. That plan can be changed (and most likely will be) but, you must have a decent starting point that you took the time to think through. That is how operations are planned and executed in the military – we start with a basic plan and then create branch plans based upon potential variations in circumstances after the plan is executed. These operations plans can become extremely complex and we always have a system in place to ensure that all planned tasks serve the overall purpose of the designated operation.

What I’m proposing now is that I will not be creating yet another new series of blogs but rather, I have now established a new category of them that will exist within the overall subject of prophecy. At any time, when a new potential for a future event begins showing up in global events, news or prophecies, this evolving “Strategic Intelligence Analysis of Prophecy” (SIAP) method can be put into action in order to gauge the likelihood that those things will happen.

In addition to analyzing the possibility that a future events will occur, the element of timing will always be very critical. As such, I will include timeline considerations in the analysis. The more I attempt this form of analysis, the more I will expect to develop some form of articulated predictive method which can then be used by anyone who chooses.

Analysis of any kind is not a hard science but more experimental in nature. Creating a new method of analytical prediction is very much like parachuting from an airplane inside of a thick cloud layer without a really good idea of what the terrain will look like when you break out into the clear air below. Challenges are expected and course corrections will be made. I don’t know how Dr Lockwood created his LAMP process but, I would assume it took time to develop and modifications were made continuously until such time as it reached the point of finalization.

I do not intend for my new analytical venture to be overly complicated at the start so we will just take it one step at a time and see how it develops. After all, this is a blog like all my others, where I tend to learn as I write. The more I write, the more I learn.

Therefore… let’s give this a go and, in case you’re wondering, YES, I do have a list of future events to begin analyzing using my newly forming “SIAP method”. Oh, by the way, if this really takes off and becomes successful, I might have to change the interim name of this predictive model and call it the “CSIAP” (short for CRM-SIAP, where CRM are my initials). But, hey… let’s not get too carried away at this point!! Haha.
