About
My personal studies and revelations. Interpreting the Scripture and sharing the Spirit’s wisdom.The Lord has always had a very personal relationship with me, even during those 30, 40 years I wandered the world a prodigal son. When I came home, I was driven, no doubt about it. I had no where else to go, the demons of hell were on my heels.
Once rescued, I was happy to just go to church and let the preachers preach. Just keep the pew warm, and be faithful about putting something in the collection plate. But He wasn’t. The came a day when I met him at the river, and wrestled with Him. It was a fight. Lasted half an afternoon, on a gravel path that wound through a Washington forest. “I want you to read my book!” was His command. And I was not about to do it. I grew up, and spent most my life in academia, learning to despise the Bible. I did not want to read it, let alone all of it, cover to cover, but that’s what He was demanding.
I wrestled hard that day, arguing, almost cursing at Him in my dogged refusal to obey. It ended with me on my knees, in that hard-packed gravel, sick to my stomach from my exertions, and stubborn angry refusal, even revulsion, to the idea. But He had one. I gave in with “OK. damn it, I’ll do it. I’ll do it, but I am not happy about it.” And getting up off my knees, angry beyond words, I went back home and said nothing to my wife. She noted my sullen ways, but asked me nothing. And I went to bed that night, as angry as I could be.
He came to me, that night, and in a dream, gave me a theme, a purpose, a reason that fit my scholarly scientific ways. And I woke up happy. Delighted. Eager to start. God is good.
A couple of years passed as I read it over and over again. I loved it. I got a software package that let me copy and paste and print out everything I had the slightest inkling was relevant to my assignment.
About 1998 I had created the manuscript, That Blessed Hope. It’s unique, and ever so thorough a study of the Rapture. Totally scripture-driven, cover to cover, it reveals the case far more than anyone else has, along with at least one extraordinary bit of evidence resolving the oft-debated “pretrib, midtrib, or post-toastie” timing. You can get that manuscript free, if you’d like. Just download a pdf from a link here on this site.
By 2000 I finished my reinterpretation of Genesis 1 and 2. I was a scientist, you understand. Never could accept the Creation Account. Just, as so many modern, maybe college-educated, people do, I just put it out of my mind. Gagged a little bit when I heard someone talk about creation, and repeat the old King James rendition. I really had to shrink down out of sight if someone got into the Adam and Eve thing. Of course, God knew this. So about 1998, I got real sick. Had to quit working, went on Disability, and stayed home. And started my work. It took more than two years, working from the Hebrew (which I had no knowledge of, but relied entirely on the computer, and the Spirit). And published, Hey Mom, What About Dinosaurs? You can get that here, too, but for $12.95 plus shipping.
That’s really what I think I was supposed to do. My wife thinks That Blessed Hope is more important, and the most important work. But Hey Mom (funny name, huh? I thought so too, though I understand the hook that dinosaurs have for so many people, especially kids) was the book that freed me up, and a lot of friends and folks in the sciences, and academia, and engineers, etc. They were all stumbling, and usually doing just like I was, tearing that part out of the Bible, to keep their faith in the Book intact. With varying success. So its in print, and That Blessed Hope is just floating out there in cyberspace, in a file on a server, in Canada, I think.
But I still read the Scriptures again and again. Always with some new thrill of “My God, that’s really something! I wonder if anyone else has ever seen that….” It’s amazing to me, the wisdom, the incredible number of points of light and revelation hidden in that book. And how much God requires of us to find them! Not once through, or two or five times reading through, but a lifetime (and all the new circumstances that provoke our new insights) of reading it again and again.
Well, that’s some idea of the “About” of this website. Hope you enjoy … and grow from it.
