Is History “Locked In,” or Are We Called to Discern the Times?
In a cultural moment where conspiracy theories and biblical prophecy increasingly collide, a recent claim by commentator Candace Owens has ignited fierce debate across social and religious media. Owens asserted that her late friend and conservative leader Charlie Kirk was a “time traveler”—a notion that has baffled critics, inspired believers, and raised profound questions about how we understand destiny, revelation, and the unfolding of history itself.
In the piece below, investigative journalist and Prophecy Investigators Founder Troy Anderson explores this extraordinary claim not as sensationalism, but through the lens of Scripture and prophetic tradition. What does it really mean to be aware of one’s place in history? Are there patterns in God’s unfolding plan that mirror the “time awareness” of figures like Joseph, Daniel, and Jesus Himself? Anderson invites readers to look beyond the headlines and consider deeper biblical truths about time, purpose, and divine revelation in an era that feels both unpredictable and spiritually charged.

Examining Candace Owens’ Provocative Claim About Time Travel From the Biblical Perspective
By Troy Anderson
Charisma Magazine
Candace Owens recently made a startling claim that has captured widespread attention: that Charlie Kirk was a “time traveler” and that his life and death were connected to a prophetic turning point in history.
Can certain people sense their place in history before it unfolds?
I explore this question, and many others, in The Trump Code and my new book Designated Disrupter.
Designated Disrupter: Trump and Other Unlikely Agents of Revival
(Charisma House/FrontLine, January 6, 2026) | From Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist and six-time #1 bestselling author Troy Anderson, Designated Disrupter, the #2 “Hot New Release in “Church & State Religious Studies” on Amazon, reveals how God is using the most unlikely people to confront darkness, disrupt corruption, and awaken a generation now breaking out in revival. Written for obedience. Released for awakening. Order now.
What Candace Owens Claimed
In her showed titled, “PROJECT LOOKING GLASS: How Did Charlie Know He Was Going to Die?”, Owens recounted personal conversations and text messages in which Kirk allegedly described himself as a “time traveler,” someone who felt compelled to fulfill a mission and understood—before it happened—that he would die young.
Kirk, 31, the founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated on September 10 while speaking at a university in Utah.
On the episode, Owens revisited claims surrounding a classified intelligence program known as Project Looking Glass—a program whistleblowers have alleged involves technologies capable of viewing possible future timelines.
Owens framed her discussion around government projects, whistleblower claims, and strange cultural phenomena—déjà vu, the Mandela Effect, and a growing sense that something in our world feels “locked in” and unstable all at once.
“I don’t think I will ever get over the fact that Charlie Kirk knew that he was going to die young,” Owens said. “I am starting to believe that so did the agents that surrounded him throughout his entire life.”
Owens claimed Kirk was monitored as part of a “CIA program that came to be known as Project Looking Glass.”
“And it makes me think that Charlie may have been marked since he was a child,” Owens said. “We’ve discussed these ‘gate’ programs that they have in school. And I just think on the basis of what he told me, that when he was really young, they wanted to drug him, but his mother said no, and he was really grateful for that. And instead, they decided that they could send him to this X-Men school.”
Owens did not present proof of time travel technologies. Instead, she framed the matter as something more unsettling—a sense of “knowing” that certain events had to happen for history to shift.
Since Kirk’s tragic death, Turning Point USA has received over 120,000 inquiries from people wanting to start new campus chapters at high schools and colleges nationwide. Lucas Miles, senior director of Turning Point USA Faith, said many pastors at the 9,500 churches Turning Point works with nationwide are reporting attendance increases of 25 percent, 35 percent, and even 50 percent, with some congregations doubling or tripling in size—early signs of revival I’ve chronicled in Designated Disrupter: Trump and Other Unlikely Agents of Revival.

The Bible Is Full of ‘Time Travelers’
Scripture is filled with men and women who carried advance knowledge of future events—not through time machines, but through divine revelation.
Joseph foresaw famine years before it arrived (Gen. 41:25–36). Daniel predicted the rise and fall of great empires long before they came to pass (Dan. 2:31–45). Jeremiah wept over the capture of Jerusalem by the Babylonians long before it happened (Jer. 1:10). Jesus Himself repeatedly foretold His death and that he would be raised to life on the third day (Matt. 16:21; John 12:23–24).
None of them “traveled” through time. But all of them understood time.
“Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7).
The Trump Code and the Mysteries of Time
When I wrote The Trump Code: Exploring Time Travel, Nikola Tesla, the Trump Lineage, and America’s Future, I didn’t set out to write a book solely about time travel. I wanted to document patterns in history that seemed prophetic—moments when the past seemed to be replicated in the present.
In the book, which in part explored the curious 19th century novels of Ingersoll Lockwood—The Baron Trump Collection about a boy named “Little Baron Trump” who lived in “Castle Trump” and was guided by Don Fum, the “great master of all masters,” on time-traveling adventures— I explored how:
– History moves in cycles, not straight lines (“What has been will be again…” (Ecclesiastes 1:9).
– God raises up disrupters at precise moments of national crisis (Daniel 2:21).
– Warning signs often appear long before judgment or revival arrives (Matthew 16:3).
Readers of The Trump Code and viewers of YouTube and TikTok videos that garnered tens of millions of views on the “Baron Trump” phenomenon may have noticed something uncanny: events unfolding today appeared to mirror writings from generations ago—sometimes with unsettling accuracy.
What really captured people’s attention was Lockwood’s last novel in the series, 1900: or, The Last President, in which an unlikely candidate for president is elected, followed by a “state of uproar,” “Anarchists and Socialists” converging on the “Fifth Avenue Hotel”—where Trump Tower now stands in New York City—chanting, “Death to the rich man!” This was followed by armies advancing on Washington, D.C. and the destruction of the Capitol in Lockwood’s novel. “The bells were ringing a glad welcome to the New Century, but a solemn tolling would have been a fitter thing, for the Republic of Washington was no more,” Lockwood wrote.
Two books. One divine blueprint. Discover how prophecy, power, and disruption are shaping America’s destiny. The Trump Code & Designated Disrupter.
Designated Disrupter: Why the Unlikely Seem to ‘Know’ Their Role
My new book Designated Disrupter builds on The Trump Code by examining why God often uses unlikely, imperfect, and disruptive individuals—and why many of them sense their calling long before the world does.
Moses resisted his assignment but knew he was chosen (Ex. 3–4). Jeremiah protested that he was too young but was told his destiny was set before his birth (Jer. 1:5). John the Baptist lived as if his life would be short and it was (Matt. 14:10–12).
Not Time Travel—But Time Awareness
So was Kirk a “time traveler”? Not in the cinematic sense.
But like many figures before him, he may have been time-aware—sensitive to the weight of the moment he was living in, the resistance he faced, and the cost that often accompanies disruption.
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Ps. 90:12).
The Looking Glass Claim
Owens described claims tied to Project Looking Glass, an alleged program said to involve technology capable of viewing possible future timelines.
According to Owens, operators reportedly discovered that, regardless of the variables, many outcomes converged on a single fixed point, frequently described as occurring between 2012 and 2016.
From that moment onward, as the story goes, the future became harder to “read”—as if the branching possibilities had collapsed into a wall.
Owens emphasized another claim: that the consciousness of those observing the device influenced what it revealed—suggesting that thoughts could affect outcomes.
Whether these details are literally true, the broader idea is worth examining: What if there are moments in history where trajectories narrow—where civilization approaches an appointed intersection?

Scripture Repeatedly Warns That Such Moments Exist
“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven.” (Eccl. 3:1)
God “changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others.” (Dan. 2:21)
God declares “the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.” (Isa. 46:10)
Jesus said there are prophetic realities that “must come to pass” (Matt. 24:6) and events that come like “labor pains” (1 Thess. 5:3).
This isn’t science fiction. That is how the Bible views history.
Why This Matters Now
We are living in a time when history feels compressed and accelerated. The Bible warned this would happen.
“Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” (Dan. 12:4)
“The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” (Rom. 13:12)
The Trump Code and Designated Disrupter argue the same central truth: when God shakes the world, He also reveals prophetic patterns—and when patterns are revealed, people must choose whether to ignore them or respond.
Owens’ claim has sparked controversy, but it has also reopened a conversation the Church cannot afford to dismiss: Are we merely reacting to events or are we discerning the times?
“Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.” (Rev. 1:3)
If history feels like it’s repeating or converging—perhaps it’s because it is.
Not because humans control time, but because God does.
“‘I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,’ says the Lord, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.’” (Rev. 1:8).
And that reality should not lead us to fear, but to faith, the truth, and courage in the days ahead.
