John Glubb (1897-1986) a Lieutenant General in the British army in World War 1 was also an historian and researcher. In addition to his military prowess, he has published seventeen books, mainly about the Middle East. One in particular though was about a much broader topic. The Fate of Empires.
He researched empires throughout history. According to Glubb, despite the empire’s geographic, religious, cultural, and technological differences, they all follow the same pattern of expansion, development, decline, and collapse.
He came up with 11 but not including the Anglo-American (Zionist) empire. As he says Empires do not usually start and end in a specific year, so these are approximations at best.
The Nation Dates of rise & fall Duration in years
Assyria 859-612 BC 247
Persia 538-330 BC 208
Greece 331-100 BC 231
Roman Republic 260-27 BC 233
Roman Empire 27 BC-180AD 207
Arab Empire 634AD-880 246
Mameluke Empire 1250-1517 267
Ottoman 1320-1570 250
Spain 1500-1750 250
Romanov Russia 1682-1916 234
Britain 1700-1950 250
Anglo-American (Zionist) 1776- 248-
To summarise John Glubb’s Fate of Empires in a sentence:
“ The empires of the past follow a roughly similar pattern regarding their rise and decline, and we can learn a great deal about how contemporary empires will dare from studying them” John Glubb
This covers a period of nearly 3000 years, and there have been approximately 11 great empires in Europe, Arabia, Persia and parts of Western Asia. John Glubb discovered from his research that ‘the same patterns seem to be constantly repeated, the only differences are climate, location, culture and religion’.
Usually, the rise, peak and decline follow a very gradual curve, a period where one empire’s rise overlaps with the decline of another. Possibly the decline of the Ottoman empire and the rise of the Anglo-American (Zionist) empire from WW1 is one example.
‘Zionist’ in brackets is because it was the Rothschilds Dynasty and the British empire that created the Balfour Declaration, and the Rothschilds seem to have money and power that has in a clandestine hidden way shaped some aspects of history.
John Glubb in his work on the history of empires, divides an empire’s life span into what he refers to as ‘Ages’. So each empire passes through 6 Ages according to Glubb:
The Age of Conquest
The Age of Expansion
The Age of Commerce
The Age of Affluence
The Age of Intellect
The Age of Decadence
The final Age of Decadence he also refers to as Decline and it is this final ‘Age’ that relates to contemporary Western Culture in the 21st century.
“After a long period of wealth and power, empires will start to decline. This is the stage where people choose to behave in unsustainable ways and unaware of their consequences. Historians often refer to this stage as the decline in religion, but Glubb shows more than religion.
The empire will suffer because of excessive consumption. Absurdly wealthy elites will emerge where the masses will admire them. People will relate increased consumption to happiness. These values will permeate the public: frivolity, aestheticism, cynicism, narcissism, fanatics, and fatalism —and all negative behaviours’’ affect the population” https://www.timelessmyths.com/characters/john-glubb/
The Age of Decadence and Decline in the West
In the Age of Decadence/Decline younger generations no longer crave honour, they are only interested in money, entertainment and other trivial matters. Neil Postman wrote about this in his ‘Amusing Ourselves to Death’
“When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when a cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainment, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act (A light comic play that often includes songs, pantomime, and dances) then a nation finds itself at risk; culture death is a clear possibility “ Neil Postman Amusing Ourselves to Death
Postman also pointed out in the Foreword to his book
“In 1984, Huxley added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us. This book is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell was right”
For example, to listen to Trump ‘debating’ Biden, it would be very easy to conclude that it was nothing more than ‘baby talk’ in a culture going through its last dying breath. Two victims of a much more toxic ideology of the imperialism and brutal racist colonialism of the Western empire.
Gaza.....
You only have had to witness a livestreamed Genocide reframed as 'self-defence' and observe the profound indifference of most people knowing that an entire people are being starved to death, while also being bombed. Save the Children estimate that over ten thousand surviving children in Gaza are amputees, courtesy of America, Britain, the EU and the entire Western empire, and Trump and Biden were trying to get brownie points by arguing that their support of Israel was the best…
The well known Medical Journal Lancet have estimated the real amount of Palestinian civilians killed in Gaza by Israel. Approaching 200,000 https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext
The West always talk about Numbers, how many have died in Gaza. Palestinians are human beings created in the Image and Likeness of the one true eternal Triune God who died for them on the Cross of Calvary. They know they are NOT mere numbers. https://wearenotnumbers.org/
As well as 'Amusing Ourselves to Death' in shallow surface level culture of consumption, entertainment and individualism, the Anglo/American Zionist empire is clearly obsessed with continuing the Age of Conquest even while it is collapsing.
"Costs of the 20-year war on terror: $8 trillion and 900,000 deaths" is the title of an article about an extensive Report called 'The Cost of War Report' carried out by Brown University in America, written by Jill Kimball
"Nearly 20 years after the United States’ invasion of Afghanistan, the cost of its global war on terror stands at $8 trillion and 900,000 deaths, according to a new report from the Costs of War project at Brown University" https://www.brown.edu/news/2021-09-01/costsofwar
Many know that it has been a 'war OF Terror' against non Western nations. How many Muslims and Christians has the Western empire killed amongst the 900,000?
The characteristics of the Age of Decadence/Decline would imply that the Western empire (Anglo-American, EU/NATO/Zionist) is clearly in this last Age of Decadence/Decline, and collapsing…as John Glubb describes
“Decadence is a moral and spiritual disease, resulting from too long a period of wealth and power, producing cynicism, decline of religion, pessimism, and frivolity. The citizens of such a nation will no longer make an effort to save themselves, because they are not convinced that anything in life is worth saving”.
The cynicism, internal strife, the virtual worship of celebrities, the vacuous entertainment and other decadent behaviour, the ever increasing and obscene wealth of the Oligarchs and the Totalitarian Technocratic State that has virtually become deified. The Oligarchs listened very well and believed the echo from the serpent in Eden….You shall become as gods.
The Greeks and Romans: Debt and Idolatry
In his epic book ‘The Collapse of Antiquity’ Michael Hudson writes about how the Greek and Roman civilisations collapsed not just because of an over extended empire, but Antiquity’s inability to conduct debt cancellations or to regulate itself from corporate takeover of its government which Hudson refers to as the ‘rentier class’. The book is organised into three sections. The first section discusses the Ancient Greeks rise and fall, then Rome’s rise and decline. The last section is about the fall of the Roman Empire and what it means to the modern world.
He states that the Mesopotamian kingdoms were financially and economically stable because the kings would conduct ‘Clean Slate’ laws that would wipe out all and any debts that were made. This is similar to similar to Clean Slate laws made by Jesus, calling for a Jubilee Year among his subjects. The Greeks and Romans on the other hand, did not conduct any ‘Clean Slate’ laws or initiate Jubilee Years.
The Greeks saw how high the short term gains were in keeping the debts intact.
Therefore a centralised state was made to serve wealthy interests along with a need to expand its base to continue the debt payments. The Greeks fell because of its failure to cancel debts, stripping its public finance and infrastructure and eventually selling itself to Rome just so that debts would not be cancelled via a revolution Hudson argues.
Rome also fell because its tax base could not possibly pay such enormous debts, and its subjects were forced into serfdom as a means of paying their debts. The Barbarians at the gate did not destroy Rome, rather as Michael Hudson so brilliantly argues, Rome destroyed itself via debts. Its desperate search for payments made the Roman Empire more brutal, autocratic and relentless towards its citizens that average Roman citizens joined the Barbarians just to escape the oppression.
However, it was also the Worldviews of Greece and Rome that contributed to its downfall.
“The Greeks and later the Romans also tried to build their society upon the gods. But these gods were not big enough because they were finite, limited. Even all their gods put together were not infinite….Like the Greeks, the Romans had no infinite god. This being so, they had no sufficient reference point intellectually that is, they did not have anything big enough or permanent enough to which to relate either their thinking or their living.
Consequently, their value system was not strong enough to bear the strains of life, either individual or political. All their gods put together could not give them a sufficient base for life, morals, values, and final decisions” (How Should We Then Live Francis Shaeffer p21)
In other words idolatry destroyed Greece and Rome as well as being a debt based society. For those who worship idols become like them in their attributes and characteristics (Psalm 115v8)
This is the West, a debt based society based on idolatry. Some of the main ‘gods’ of the West today would be Scientism, Technocracy, Money, Sport, Celebrities….The Roman Coliseum entertaining the masses with its staggering cruelty. The people dumbed down with the ‘bread and circuses’ while Rome burns.
“Foundational to the modern world view is the deeply religious belief that human reason, especially in the form of the scientific method, can provide exhaustive knowledge of the world of nature and of mankind. Science becomes the source of revelation” (The Transforming Vision, Shaping a Christian Worldview p132 Brian J Walsh and J. Richard Middleton)
Scientism that rejects the Creator, holds out the promise of omniscience, while Technology offers omnipotence. The all knowing, all powerful potent mix of scientism and technocracy are the main idols that dominate the West today.
Our lives are transformed into the image of the god we serve whether we believe that or not.
Technology
Technology created the world of ‘The Machine’. We regulate our entire lives by a machine-the clock. We communicate by a machine-the phone. We learn by a machine, the calculator, computer, television set, the internet. We travel by a machines-cars, trains, planes. We even see by a machine-the electric light. The Machine became our way of life.
See ‘The Tale of the Machine’ by Paul Kingsnorth for a more in depth perspective on the Machine. https://paulkingsnorth.substack.com/p/the-tale-of-the-machine
Then there’s the all powerful god of Mammon that the Military Industrial Complex (war is big business) is based on, that justifies perpetual wars to slaughter millions of Image bearers of the Creator God as I have just pointed out….in the name of what? Democracy? Freedom? Scientism, Technocracy, Money, Celebrities, Sport, Entertainment…Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us.
Orwell's Boot on our faces holding us down brutalising us, while we impersonate brainwashed lemmings addicted and transfixed at our phones as we move nearer and nearer to the cliff edge.......
Pleasure not pain will dehumanise enough to let the Oligarch elite insidiously lure us into their Totalitarian Panopticon Surveillance prison…but hey there’s good news because you will own nothing and be happy according to Klaus Schwab and his dehumanised Globalist puppets also known as ‘Agent Smith’ of the Matrix.
Is the Handwriting on the Wall for the West ?
The son of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, did not learn from the fact that God judged his father with INSANITY for seven years because he rejected and forgot the Word of God through the prophet Daniel (Daniel chapter 4). Babylon was about to be judged by the Most High God and given over to another kingdom, the Persians, then the Greek empire, then Rome. The West it would appear has also been given over to another kingdom…..The Kingdom of Darkness run by the fallen angel Lucifer who convinced the West that GOD IS DEAD and replaced the Creator God with Human Reason.
Oligarchy and The West
After Rome fell, some of the Roman Senate migrated to Venice which was based on Oligarchy and Aristotle’ s politics of ‘Master/Slave. Matt Ehret, a forensic historian and Geo Political analyst has written about this in his series ‘The Anglo Venetian Roots of the Deep State’ in particular Vol 4. He states that the ruthless Venetian Oligarchy relocated its base of operation to the City of London and Britain became ruled by Oligarch from 1688.
Carrol Quigley’s The Anglo American Establishment’ would be well worth checking out. https://www.amazon.com/Anglo-American-Establishment-Carroll-Quigley/dp/0945001010
Here's a Documentary by Webster Tarpley of LaRouche Geo Political Think Tank in Washington DC on 'The Cancer of Oligarhy in history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-55D28RVt-4
The West today in 2024 is thoroughly Paganised across the spectrum of its institutions…which is based on a rejection of opposites because Paganism believes All is One, there is no Creator/creature distinction because there is no Creator. Thus humanity becomes deified…the epitome of idolatry.
This is where the Oligarchy for the most part are leading the Western empire….like indoctrinated dumbed down lemmings sleep walking into the Totalitarian Technocratic Surveillance Panopticon….into a new dark ages of Aristocratic Neo-Feudalism.
THIS IS ABOUT AN UNSEEN SPIRITUAL WAR
"....the god of this world (Satan) has blinded the minds of unbelievers" and referring to Babylon..."for your merchants were the great and prominent men of the earth, BECAUSE ALL THE NATIONS WERE DECEIVED and misled by your SORCERY and in Babylon was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth" (2 Corinthians 4v4; Revelation 18v23-24)
‘They exchanged the truth of God for the lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator’…..Romans chapter 1v25 in the New Testament. This means that NOTHING IS NEUTRAL in all creation. You either worship the Creator God who created the Universe and humanity with free will or you worship something from within the creation or the creature.
God is not mocked, we reap what we sow. The Globalist elite are sowing the wind….and they will reap the whirlwind of the Judgment of the Almighty and Everlasting God.
Welcome to the Global coup d'état….
Let God Arise and His enemies be scattered…..
