History of this work and ministry
A prophetic experience I have studied Biblical prophecy all of my life, but when I was thirty years old in the year 1991 I had an amazing and life-changing prophetic experience. God showed me a revelation of the end-times. I quickly wrote down the details of this revelation on whatever paper I could find around me -- scraps of paper and the blank backs of other documents -- so that no detail would be forgotten. It was urgent that this prophecy be written down while it was still fresh in my mind. Many of my original notes, hurried scribbles on scraps of paper, are still in my possession. A photograph of some of my notes is below:
God told me to put this information into a book, so I started writing it in late 1991, and on January 20, 1992, the book was completed. To write the book I used new and emerging computer technology. Although computer word processing had been around for about eight years by that time, most computers were bulky desk top units. However, there was a new dedicated word processor, like a laptop but only for word processing and nothing else. I used this dedicated word processor because it was portable. At that time I was employed as a security guard, and my employer permitted me to write the book while I was at work. The following picture is of that dedicated word processor plus the suitcases that I used to transport my notes from my home to my employment and back:
I made several copies of the book and distributed them to family, friends, and selected scholars. I am still very happy with this unpublished book, and I continue to refer to it often, even now after all these years, when I study the Bible because it is a wonderful resource. I possess a copy of this unpublished book and it is available to be examined. A photograph of one of those copies is below:
Then my parents suggested that I summarize this unpublished book and mail a copy of the summary to myself so that there would be proof of when I wrote it from the postal marks. So, I mailed a summary to myself on January 28, 1992. That postal package is still in my possession and available for inspection. A photograph of that postal package is below:
I knew from earlier study of the Bible that anyone who claimed a prophetic experience is persecuted. All Biblical prophets were persecuted, plus all of the contemporary examples of prophecy that I was aware of involved terrible persecution. I wanted a happy and peaceful life, so I was very reluctant to publish this book because I feared that it would lead to similar suffering. However, God wanted me to publish it, so I looked for any excuse not to publish it and I procrastinated as much as possible. Publishing this work At that time, the cost of publishing
a paper book and distributing it for free (I believed that it would be
wrong to sell it) was impossible for me to afford, so I did almost nothing
with the book for several years. However, in the Spring of 1998 God
told me to publish my book using a new technology that had just recently
become available to the public -- the Internet. This was a surprise to
me because I did not have access to the Internet and I knew nothing at
all about it. Then in September 1998, access to the Internet became
free for the public under certain circumstances, and then in October free
web space became available to the public. All of a sudden I had access
to the Internet and Internet space available on which to publish my book,
and all for free! I still could not publish my book because I did
not know how to make Internet websites, but then my employer sent me on
a three-day intensive course on how to use the Internet and how to make
websites. So all of the barriers preventing me from publishing were
removed -- I had free internet space plus I was trained in how to make
websites.
Persecution and my fall Immediately after publishing this information on the Internet, in the year 1999, the persecution that I feared started, and it was worse than I ever imagined it would be. I compared this persecution to the Book of Job in the Bible. In the Book of Job, Job lost everything with several initial calamities all at once followed by more tragedies over an extended period of time. Everything that happened to Job happened to me, with some minor differences; for example, Job was covered with soars but in my case I became mostly blind. But, apart from some minor differences, my experience was exactly the same as Job's experience, and I lost everything. It was during this time that this publication was used as evidence against me, and an adversary included this entire publication as an exhibit in her affidavit. This affidavit is part of the public record and is accessible to anyone. A photograph of the cover of that exhibit in the affidavit is below:
Since the exhibit in her affidavit contains this entire
work, every word of it, this is further proof of the early date of this
publication. Perhaps God wanted proof of when this book was published
for some reason? I have a copy of that Affidavit in my possession
and it is available for examination, plus I have detailed information of
where to view it at the Court offices as part of the public record.
The exhibit is virtually identical to this current website, with the only
differences being that some of the predictions made back then have since
come true. This current website notes those predictions that have
since come true, but other than that, this current website is the same
as before.
Wow Interestingly, in the twenty one years
since publishing this information (30 years since my prophetic experience),
this message has spread around the world. This ministry has had a
global impact as other scholars took this information and spread it everywhere.
God had me introduce this information to the world -- no one in the entire
world was saying these things before then -- but now some of what I published
is the second most popular opinion on Biblical prophecy. Everyone
all over the world is talking about it now, and God had me start that conversation.
Praise God!
A time of blessing My situation did not remain terrible
forever. In the year 2008, God called me back to Him, and I went
running back to God. I was eager and thrilled that God still loved
me, and I was grateful that God forgave me for falling away. Over
the next three years, by early 2012, my faith in God became fully restored
to where it had been before my fall, and I once again walked powerfully
with God.
