I have my theory but you won’t like it:
-Refer to here, long ago Anoch began the countdown. My assumption is the countdown of Gatekeepers and when we reach to One it’s not going to be pretty. Anoch is enraged.
-Several people, including myself, entertain the idea that 242 and 1 are the same.
-And so when One comes, we may see very same enraged 242.
All assumptions have to be correct here for it to line up but let’s just say it’s correct: basically we’re facing doom? So is the ODSM here to stop this from coming true because they care? Or like you said, is this all one big test to see if we really deserve The Truth?
Also, to answer your question, clockmakers are one step below gatekeepers. See Org Chart.
