Prologue

               I want you to first consider this:

          '...an inheritance gotten hasily at the beginning, but the end thereof shall not be blessed.'

          (Pro.20.21)

               You have heard how people win these fabulous lottery prizes, only to squander it and lose it all in a short time...there is something to that, because a person who works all their life for an estate knows the hard work and the sacrifice and the suffering that went into it, and they will not lose it...but let me go on to tell you how Julia and I have earned our inheritance in the things of God.

                There are few, if any since the days of Noah, who have waited on the Lord like Julia and I have; we can count almost 50 years, as I've told you, how that we have gone all these years waiting on the Lord to begin our ministry to set us up, and and at this point in time, we are still waiting on Him to move.  I know that those of you who believe what I say, that I have accurately opened the Scriptures to you, still are nervous about whether my prophecies are going to come to pass or not.  I've told you a why I have this faith, but there is another aspect: it is the strength we have received while waiting.  We have not fainted, but kept an a more or less even keel and thus we have come to this place in time where we are going to indeed be put out into the public to teach and to share what God has given to us.  It is not that we have not had our ups and downs...oh have we ever, but the Lord has always renewed us.

               But consider all the prophets God has made from Abraham to John the Baptist; consider what Joseph went through especially...rejected by his brethren for years and years, but in the end he became their salvation...and then Moses, who wnated to deliver Israel out of bondage, but was rejected by them and had to wait 40 years before God used him...

                So let me briefly show you this faith, and how we came by it.

July of 1957

                First of all, I am a carpenter's son, and my wife is a coal miner's daughter; she lived in little mining towns in the mountains of Colorado until about the time of WWII (World War II) and knew only very humble beginnings, as I did living in Kansas and Colorado during the Dust Bowl days.  My father finally moved to Denver during the war began to work at Remington Arms, leaving El Reno Oklahoma where I have many childhood memories, and my wife's father also had been recruited to work at Remington Arms at the same time, as he left the coal mines in the mountains of Colorado.  After the war, my father went to work for the Denver Construction Company along with my grandfather who was a master carpenter; he could do things with a carpenter's square I've never seen anyone else do; he could cut jack rafters and cripples faster than three men could put them up (only a framing carpenter knows what I mean).  I worked with them on occasion throwing gravel into concrete mixers and whatever else hard work they could come up with. 

                We lived west of Denver in a rural area where I met my wife-to-be when she was 13 years old, a freckle faced, skinny, towhead sweetie; I was two years older.  In the summer we played softball with a little neighborhood team, and were quite good.  After a few years, I went into the Air Force, not having any plans for my life, but soon after leaving, the boys began to court my sweetie so I rushed home and married her, and took her back to Fort Custer Michigan with me, where we spent the last three years of my enlistment.  In the interim, I had gone to work for a landscape architect on week-ends, so that after my discharge, I went to work for architects who were pleased to pay me a penance while I learned the ropes as an architectural draftsmenof the which, I was soon to be a master at it because of my building industry background and my free-hand drawing skills.

                Now comes July of 1957, on a Sunday morning in a little Baptist church I went 'forward' at the invitation; I got on my knees before a church full of people; I was the only one.  The preacher had been working with me to get me to go to his little Conservative Baptist church in western suburb of Denver a for a long time; he was a friend of my wifes family, and lived next to them for a time.

                I had been born and raised a Methodist; my mother was a Methodist minister's daughter, and he was the son of a Hard-shell Baptist, whatever that was; I was sprinkled and dedicated into the Methodist church, but they were not the evangelical type so when I stopped going to church, they did not follow me up.  But Baptists are evangelical and go out and knock on doors to bring folks in to their temples.  So, on this Sunday morning in this little church I was on my knees with the entire congregation looking on.  When I went into the church I was troubled and unhappy; I didnt make much money as an architectural draftsman, but wanted the world at the expense of my little family.  I spent all the time and money I could not afford building a cabin in the mountains west of Denver, and a lot of time fishing almost every week-end, at my little familys expense.  High fidelity was all the rage then and I had to have it; along with it I bought a nice player and several LP records of classical music, then built two very large speaker boxes and spent hours sitting in front of them, at my familys expense, listening to Beethoven, Grieg, and Offenbach; Arterio Toscaninni being my favorite conductor, and of course I had the Boston Pops with Arthur Fielder.  But on that Sunday morning, I gave my heart to Jesus Christ, and all that music was forgotten.  To make a long story shorter, up until then I was a real jackass.

                When I stood up and turned to look at the people in the audience, I will never forget the expressions on their faces; they were amazed at what they saw in my face how that it was lit up as though there was a light behind it; I was all aglow from this burden lifted off me, and it all was very apparent on my face so that folks could hardly stop looking at me; I felt like a new person, and for all intents and purposes, I was.   I sold our mountain cabin and vehicle to get out of debt, gave away my record player and music, and began to go to church every time the doors were opened; my wife went from being a fishing widow to a church widow, since she had to stay home with our little kids.  Finally after some weeks, I quit my full-time job and we moved into the apartment in the back of the church, and thus I began to study.  It was about here that I told the Lord, that if He would give me a ministry, I would give Him my life...little did I know what was coming.

                I followed my preacher around like a little puppy, asking questions; I picked his brain learning everything I could.  I read my Bible almost constantlyit was a Scofield Reference Bible recommended to me by my well-meaning brethren, so that I was being well indoctrinated into their Baptist beliefs...but it was not to continue.  I went to their local Bible college where I was voted the most promising student they had seen at the beginning of the first semester, but by the end of the semester, they were sick of me because, as I said, I was reading my Bible, so that by the time I went to Bible college, I had abandoned my Scofield Bible for an American Standard Version, and had acquired Youngs Analytical Concordance in lieu of Strongs Exhaustive Concordance also recommended to me by my Baptist brethren, with these new study tools, I began to see flaws in their Baptist teaching, and thus I began to be a thorn in their flesh, so when I decided to stop going to their school, no one tried to get me to stay.  The Vice President of the school at the first was anxious that I go on and get a degree from the school then stay there and teach; he had visited my Public Speaking class and was impressed by my broad shoulders and my ability to read them the Riot Act and smile while I did it.

               I had taken a New Testament Seminar class taught by the Dean of the college; it was a class where students went into to the Greek New Testament and brought things in for the class to critique.  They let me take the class even though I had no learning in New Testament Greek, but rather I used George Ricker Berry's Greek Interlinear and Thayer's Lexicon, so I was able to keep up with them; my study had to do with their Deacons and how they used them; I showed them how that Deacon came from the Greek word diakoneo and meant to serve, or servant, whereas their Deacons Board was ruling the church; they were not servants at all.  But this was not all.

               Because I was an aspiring preacher, the upper classmen invited me to preach at their Preachers Club, a get-together of the upper classmen every Friday after school, and they said, because it was my first time, they wanted me to give a sermon.  What they did, each took turns preaching then the class, which included the school faculty, would critique the young preachers performance.  So, I spent the whole week preparing my sermon; when Friday afternoon came we all met; must have been 50 people or so; I remember the place was packed.  So, they told me to get up and give my sermon...I did.  My topic was on the 40 divisions in the Baptist church, so you can imagine the reception I received for that, but I preached 45 minutes, then sat down; they all stood there with amazement on their faces...seems they forgot to tell me one thing: my sermon was supposed to last only five minutes!   I had been so passionate and so sincere they did not have the courage to stop me, but let me go on and on...and thus my fame spread.  We had people come to our church just to see me, they had heard that there was some guy on fire for the Lord over there...but it was not to last.

               I became everything in the church, bus driver, Sunday School Teacher, and was, more or less, the Assistant Pastor, or at least his chief side-kick.  Fact was, they were so impressed with me they ordained me.   Also along the way, I was elected to the Board of Directors of the Denver Youth For Christ, and this was about the time that Billy Graham was getting really big; he came to Denver to hold a crusade, and all the churches supported him, because they saw their chance to get more people into their churches.  And of course, our denomination supported him; I saw the error in this so I went to our local Conservative Baptist Theological Seminary and met with the President of the school; I sat with him 45 minutes telling him how that what he was doing that was wrong...me, this pup, still wet behind the ears, only been saved less than a year, sitting there with this great man, but he was kind and listened, and thanked me for coming.

               In all this, I became disenchanted with the whole scene; I saw, among other things, that they had no interest in changing according to the truth; they could not resist me in what I had to say because I documented everything I preached, and thus my fame turned into infamy so that I fell out of favor with all.  I watched them go through an ugly church split where I saw Christians fighting like cats and dogs, who the day before were kind and sweet, but had turned in to fierce beasts, at each others throats.  It was about then that I became at odds with my preacher because I wanted him to study with me during the day, but he wanted to get out and knock on doors, a thing I did but hated every minute of it; people just do not like you coming to their doors unannounced.  So, after spending weeks in agonizing prayer, I decided all I could do was to leave.

               Well, along the way, because of me, the church has dropped its Baptist name and left the Conservative Baptist Association; we did away with the Deacon's Board and even rearranged the chairs in the sanctuary; the more we changed the fewer people came, until we had dwindled to half a dozen folksbut after I left, the preacher took back his Baptist name, and put things back the way they were, so that people again began to go to his church.

               During all this time I was reading and studying my Bible, but when we left the church, we rented this big farm house in west Denver where I had lots of room to spread out my study area; I was now using two or three versions of the Bible (the King James, the ASV, and Darby) plus the Greek and Hebrew.  I took part-times jobs as an architectural draftsman (I was in demand during those days when the building market was booming in Denver) so that I could study more, and this we did; we got up 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning, made a pot of tea, then I began to study, and the Lord poured out upon us such wonderful truths...such wonderful things that there were times that I cried out to the Lord to stop teaching me; I could not handle the joy and the wonderful things He was showing me; we basked in these things and marveled that the church world had not seen any of itbut it was bitter-sweet, because no one came to see us; no one wanted to learn; we were labeled as backsliders but we left, and the preacher told me I could not go it alone because I needed counselors, whereas I read in Psalm 119.24:

Princes also sat and talked against me; but your servant did meditate on your statutes; your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.  (Psm.119.23,24)

And they also beat me over the head with this:

'...not forsaking the assembly of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much more, as they see the day approaching   (Heb.10.25)

And as you know, I have a little to say about this subject, since that DAY is at hand.  What they did not understand was that you do not go off to sit at the feet of those teaching error simply to satisfy this admonition.

David Terrell

                Anyway, this went on for years and years; I studied more than any man I knew for when after 15 years, the prophet David Terrell came to Denver in 1973 and prophesied to me that God had ordained me and had chosen me into the ministry...', and that I had much studying to do!   This was after I had studied night and day for 15 years!   I had heard brother Terrell for the first time in December of 1972, and I knew he was a prophet the first time I heard him; he was telling of his vision he had of Jesus coming, how that the sky was black with no sun, or moon, or any stars, but this little light appeared and came closer and closer to the earth until it was seen that it was Jesus sitting on his throne with myriads of angels around him, and he came closer and closer; then he stood and streteched out his arms and said, 'Come up here!'   And all the dead in Christ rose followed by all those still alive on the earth...I shouted and leaped for joy because I knew it was true.

               I will never forget that tent meeting in July of 1973; the first night his platform was filled with preachers in their loud shirts and shiny suits, but they obviously did not know much about him; the reason why I knew he was a man of God is because he was the ONLY ONE I knew who said that you had to obey God in order to be saved, and to keep the Sabbath.  Anyway he preached that night and did his usual thing, but the next night, NOT ONE of those preachers showed up...not one was sitting on his platform that night or for the next week EXCEPT ME.  I was there every night and during th meetings in the middle of the day; I will never forget either how he preached that the United States would be ripped and torn to shreads; he took off his shirt and ripped it up and handed it to me...he was the best preacher I ever heard...

               So he left town and left me still wanting to start something, but, not having any other opportunity to start anything, and realizing the value of study, I continued; I never ever lost my appetite for study; the more we studied, the greater Gods Word became, until I realized the church world was totally out of it because they had not sat down to seek God in study, and that NOTHING they taught was right.

                I had preachers come to me and tell me I was wasting my time to study so much, that I needed to get out there are start Sunday Schools and churches with them, but I saw through them that they did not know God, and had no idea what the Bible was saying.  I was listening to the radio night an day, listening to every preacher I could find checking out what they had to say, and I tell you this, that I could not find ONE who knew what he was talking about; they were teaching part-truths and half-truths and I knew that a truth couched in lies is not truth, so I continued.

                We did begin to check out other non-denominational churches only to find them gone off at tangents, so I went on the radio in the middle 70s and attracted some folks who came and began to study with us.  At one point, we had so many people coming that we took the furniture out of our living room and replaced it with folding chairs; we had people sitting on our beds in our bedrooms, sitting at our kitchen table and on our kitchen counters and on the floor; I held a microphone and walked from room to room and preached sometimes for three hours; when we had prayer meetings, it sounded like the General Assembly of the United Nations because of the varied voices in which the people spokebut this was not to last; the people were coming to hear the prophecy and to seek the healings, but they did not want to do the truth, so they faded away, and also the city became concerned since I did not have a permit to have public meetings.  So, that all came to an end; they were the epitome of what Ezekiel said:

30 And as for you, son of man, the children of thy people talk of you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from the LORD. 31 And they come unto you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but do them not; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain. 32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear thy words, but they do them not. 33 And when this comes to pass, (behold, it comes) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.   (Eze.33.30ff)

                But year after year went by; we had no fellowship at all; our families thought we were nuts, and all of our friends had long forsaken us, especially our Christian friends; they wanted no part of what I was saying.  Nevertheless, the Lord opened to us more and more; he showed us the truth about Grace, Baptism, and how the Congregation of God was to be organized; he showed me how to number the Beast of Revelation; He showed me the foolishness of Dispensations, so that it was a continual feast...but there is another side to all of this...the trials and testing.

                We had five children who went through all the so-called childhood diseases, but more; we had pneumonia, scarlet fever, whooping cough, hard measles, mumps, and more, and we did not take them to a doctor; we felt that if we were going to trust God, we were NOT going to go half way, and we indeed survived it all without any adverse side effects.   Not only so, but when my oldest son brought home an assignment from school with an A on it that I could not even read, because of his poor penmanship, we decided to home-school our kids.  We went to the local schools who gave us their discarded texts books so that for five years we schooled them; when we decided to main-stream them again, they all tested first and second year college, and the schools did not know what to do with them.  Of course, they are all now professionals in their own right.

                But what we wanted more than anything was fellowship...just a few folks who were courageous enough to believe and do the truth, but we never found any.  I went on the radio and was on three radio stations in the 70s telling the folks that trouble was coming and how they should prepare by studying and seeking after God, but nobody would listen.  Then we bought a little land in a remote area of southern Colorado in 1984, and the Lord moved us out of Denver to this place in 1995, after that all of our children had fledged, where it was quiet, but the trials still of lonelinessbut also during all these years we were learning about self-denial, of self-discipline, of controlling our appetites, of controlling our evil thoughts. 

                Then in about 2000, the Lord began to open the Elijah ministry to me; gradually the Lord showed me what Elijah was all about until I went on short wave radio in 2004 where I named my broadcast, 'The Spirit of Elijah'; still, it came to me slowly that I was to be Elijah, and I was very apprehensive about it.  As the first I was very reticent to believe it, then I learned about the conscience and the still small voice (cf.1 Kg.19.11,12; Isa.30.18-21) and the Lord began to speak with me, His thoughts becoming my thoughts (but that is a study all of its own)(see Isa.55.6ff); He began to tell me things that would come to pass, and opened up the ministry to me so that I was encouraged to realize I was indeed the Elijah to come; when I told the Lord that I would give Him my life if He would give me a ministry, I had no such aspirations in mind as being some great one, and as for the words that came into my mind, I was very slow to accept them as God's.

                Then in 2004, He had me start putting up web sites and writing about all that He had shown us; for almost three years now (this being February 2, 2007) I have been writing and putting up what the Lord has taught us, much to the chagrin of the church world; I get far more letters and emails from critics than I do from those believing what I say.

What Sustained Us

                Now after almost 50 years of seeking the Lord, we have acquired what no man has ever had: a knowledge of God.  No man in the Bible had the resources and the study tools I have; no one has ever had the complete revelation of God as this generation has in their Bibles, yet they have no desire to know God.  But Julia and I have spent all these years seeking in the Scriptures these great treasures, and this folks, is what has sustained us.

               Consider: we have had no genuine fellowship in all this time, and even the short time we had people come study with us, their hearts were not in it; they didn't want to know God; they wanted the benefits of speaking in tongues, prophecy, and healing and the promise of eternal life; oh, they wanted to hear of the great things God was showing us, but they did not want to do what Jesus taught, in self-denial, self-discipline, and so forth; they wanted all the promises without having to pay the price.   But think about it; we have had nothing in this world to keep us going; we have disciplined out appetites and our thoughts; we have learned to live very simply without television and entertainment centers; we have not had anyone to coax us on or to encourage us save God in His Word, and we have not done any more than to seek Him in His Bible, doing word studies and fasting and in prayerso how has it been possible?

               Let's go over a few Scriptures and you will see, and this first one most of you know very well:

 27 Why say you, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? 28 Have you not known? have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isa.40.27ff)

You see: God gives this power to those who seek Him; we are no special people, but just as everyone else with the exception that we have sought after God and not the world for help; He has sustained us, not food and drink; not going to movies or filling our lives with things as clothes and gadgets and such.  And when it comes to all that, we are happy with a little since we have also this promise:

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also 24 No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [ie. personal wealth]. 25 Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment? 26 Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not ye of much more value then they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life? 28 And why are you anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.   (Mt.6.19ff)

What a lesson!  What a promise!  But nobody wants simple necessities; they want their lives filled with things, and to be financially 'fixed', but to be renewed in strength comes from the Lord, not material things, so that having the simple necessities, is all we have sought after, but I tell you what, when I show this promise to the poor and to those in third world countries where they have scarcely enought to eat, they are going to be exceedingly glad to obey Jesus Christ in all things to get this promise...as Paul says:

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain: 7 for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out; 8 but having food and covering we shall be therewith content. 9 But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.   (2 Tim.6.6ff)

The word 'covering' comes from the Greek word which means a 'ship's furniture', or in other words, necessary equipment to keep yourself and your family safe and out of the weather; beyond that it is excess, and Paul says to be content with it!  And when it comes to food, who wants to eat hamburger when they could eat a T-bone steak?!  And when it comes to clothes; who wants to wear Wrangler jeans when they could wear a three-piece silk suit?!

                But you see, these things will not renew your strength; they might make you real happy in the flesh, but all that is temporary, and will get you nowhere in the promises of God, as Solomon saidSolomon, who had it ALL, nothing lacking; food, clothing, wives (he would have been the envy of every Moslem), but Solomon testified this:

7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God hath already accepted thy works. 8 Let thy garments be always white; and let not thy head lack oil. 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou love all the days of thy life of vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all thy days of vanity: for that is thy portion in life, and in thy labor wherein thou labor under the sun. 10 Whatsoever thy hand finds to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, where you go.   (Eccl.9.7ff)

In other words, if this life is what you want, go for it...but what you get here is all you are going to get; you will have nothing hereafter but a very uncomfortable place.

                The things in this world will not sustain you in drought and famine, and Walmart is not going to be full of food and things in the days ahead; will you take the advice of these guys you see on the Internet selling you freeze-dried food, and survival gear?  Will you lay up for five or ten years down the line?  But what will you do when all that you have laid up runs out? will you go to Walmart and stock up again?  I don't think so, because Walmart is not always going to be.  And how about you who 'diversify your portfolios' with gold and silver? will you, after the dollar fails, run off to Walmart with a gold brick in your hand to buy a bag of potatoes?   I dont think so.   So, what will you do you rich...you affluent...you who love this life?

                See: Julia and I are not sustained by eating well, or dressing well, or living high on the hog, as my Dad used to say (but he loved picked pig's feet), but we are sustained by God, and it does not matter what the future holds because we have obtained this outrageous faith nobody believes anyone could possibly have, but that is another promise Jesus made, that if we have faith as that mustard seed, nothing shall be impossible to usand as you know, from reading my web sites, it is not the SIZE of the mustard seed, but the fact that we have caused it to GROW UP into a tree, so that we now do indeed have the ability to receive the promise.

Out of the Wilderness

               But let me describe to you what our environment is like...like today; this is the 3rd day in January; we have already had almost six feet of snow and the ground now is almost totally covered; we have not been able to go to down but once in 50 days; I took the pickup to check the mail down on the county road about ten days ago, but it got stuck on the way back in, and it is still there.  We will not be able to go to town for another two weeks, but the Lord had us buy double the last time we went to town so we will do okay.  But we are used to hardship; we make do with what we have, and would not have it any other way; we have old trailers for outbuilding, we live in a 12 x 60 mobile home we paid $3500 for and I remodeled it; it sits amdist a patch of cedar and pinon trees (see the pictures); my study here is a little 12 x 20 frame cabin I build in 1985 to come here and seek the Lord...but lest I bore you, with the rest, let me simply say that we know how to do without and how to manage with little.                  

               So here I come, out of the woods...out of the wilderness preaching things church world preachers do not dare preach, and I have prophesied trouble to come, the likes of which no man has ever seen, and critics come by the truck load trying to put me down; they just cannot believe that I am this prophet, this Bible character promised so long ago, who would come to bring down the mountains of these great religious institutions, and to lift up the lowly who have no hope, and to explain that which the church world has never been able to, and to reveal their hypocrisyand does it ever get under their skin, but the biggest thing is my faith; because they have none, they cannot fathom how anyone could have such faith, never mind that I have shown in my web sites, how that if you obey God and walk in His ways, you will receive faith and power.

                But I am just this old guy standing here warning of trouble and counting the days, so that they hope against hope that what I have prophesied will not come to pass, so that they can swarm down upon me like a pack of wolves to destroy me and all that I say, but as I told one young guy, if I have told the truth, of the which not one person has been able to find fault withif I have told the truth, then my prophecies will indeed come to pass.  And they are sure that I have this fear and anxiety in my heart waiting and hoping what I say will indeed come to pass, now knowing how that there is not the LEAST bit if doubt in me that these things will come to pass, as Jesus said:

22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. 24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.   (Mk.11.22ff)

There is not ONE of you out there that has this kind of faith unless you have done what I have done which is to give your heart completely to your obedience to God, nothing lacking as James also says:

5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubts is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; 8a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.   (Ja.1.5ff)

You in the church world cannot possibly ask for anything of any consequence and not doubt in your heartin fact, you cannot ask for ANYTHING AT ALL and have unfeigned faith that you will receive it, and this is the very thing that Paul says is the principle thing; here:

5 But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned   (1 Tim.1.5)

You cannot have a love out of a pure heart, a good conscience, or genuine faith while you are a part of this church world...NO MATTER WHAT DENOMINATION.  

                But here Julia and I sit; psychologists would say of us that we have to be going out of our minds, that we are sick in our heads to spend all of our time seeking God with not outside entertainmentno outside influence, and out of the mainstream; they would say the we are living in a bubble on the far side of the moon totally unaware of what is going on in the world. However, we have access to all the news, biased and unbiased we need to keep far ahead of most of you.  By the worlds standards, we should be blathering idiots, deranged, unable to participate in public; but we will see about that very soon when my prophecies begin to come to pass...and when it comes to prophecy, I have only begun; to put it in the vernacular, you ain't seen nothin yet.

                But people come to see us from time to time; they sit and wonder that we are content with so little; we do not get sick with the rest of them, our health is excellent; we keep slender and fit.  Our house is not filled with things...no entertainment center, no television, no ipods, no huge freezers filled with cuts of meat, no fancy furniture; everything is plain, yet my wife keeps it looking so good with her plants and polished floors.  Our cats and dog are happy and healthy and necessary.  Our outbuildings are, as I said, old trailers we use for storage; I do have good hand tools in my shop where I enjoy building tables and furniture from rough-sawn lumber.  Julia does the laundry outside with an old ringer washer, which works just fine; we do not have the electrical power to run heavy equipment.

                We have nice places to study, and we are as comfortable as we need to be. The wide open spaces and the quiet are so very conducive to seeking the Lord; the air is pure and clean, there is no noise except we hear coyotes around us in the morning and evenings.  We sit on our front deck and watch beautiful sunsets.   We do have trouble getting and keeping good telephone service because we are so remote, but only our children call us, and mostly on week-ends. 

                Most of my time is spent here at my cabin where I write and study, and put up web sites whenever the Lord wants me to, and this one will be up before the trouble begins, simply to illustrate this confidence we have in the Lord our God, and our faith we have in Him because we keep His commandments and do those things pleasing to Him (1 Jn.4.19-22).

                We do get email on a regular basis, and several are studying with me and ask questions as they go along, but everyone is waiting anxiously for the 22rd of September which is the last day of summer, since I have prophesied that by the end of the 'summer', that there will be a tsunami which will sweep the northern Pacific, and signs in the sky the likes of which no man has ever seen and volcanoes in the Washington and Oregon by the end of the year, but that is NOT what to look for; read the explanation below.  I do not look forward to these things because there will be a great deal of hurt and anguish as God begins His judgments, but it has to happen since men have forsaken God.

________________

SUMMER

          We all thought that the Lord was speaking in the physical realm; not so, the Lord was NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SUMMER as we look for it in September of last year or this year, although it could happen any time, but here is the 'summer' He was speaking of here in Mt.24.32ff:

32  Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh; 33  even so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors.  34  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished.  35  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.  36  But of that day and hour knows no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.  37  And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.  38  For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39  and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

There are three things here which reveal the fact that Jesus is not speaking of the summer season as we know it: first, it is a parable saying you know summer is near when you see the fig tree begin to put forth leaves, then the sign he gave for this was as 'in the days of Noah', and third, the word 'coming' is used here and means 'presence' (see Index of Young's Concordance pg.83 5th column).   He shows you what to watch for in 'days of Noah', as they were eating and drinking and living it up, then when you compare this:

23  And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after them: 24  for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shines unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.  25  But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.  26  And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.  27  They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.  28  Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29  but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: 30  after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.  (Lk.17.23ff)

Waiting on the Lord

                But this waiting, as we are this day; our days go by as they always have, one day at a time.  We study, take care of business, eat and sleep; every day is the same, with some day harder than others.  Some days we are weighted down and burdened, and some days we are anointed and walk on air; some days we are low, and some day we are in the clouds rejoicing in what the Lord is showing us, but every day we see and watch at the time draws nearer and nearer, as God has set a date to end it, this long, long waitbut it is much more than waiting we do; consider this:

16 Bind thou up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. 17 And I will wait for the LORD, that hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. 18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells in mount Zion.   (Isa.8.16ff)

Do you understand this?  He speaks of me, and what I will dothen there is this:

4 For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen a God besides thee, who works for him that waits for him. 5 You meet him that rejoices and works righteousness, those that remember you in your ways   (Isa.64.4,5)

And listen how Paul interprets this:

      9 but as it is written,

      Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not,

      And which entered not into the heart of man,

      Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him.  (1 Cor.2.9)

If you wait for him, he says you love Him, and visa versa: if you love Him, you will wait for Him to work for youand this is what Julia and I dobut in the context of 1 Cor.2, there is much more, as you may see:

10 But unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For who among men knows the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knows, save the Spirit of God. 12 But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in words which mans wisdom teaches, but which the Spirit teaches; combining spiritual things with spiritual words. 14 Now the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged. 15 But he that is spiritual judges all things, and he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.   (1 Cor.2.10ff)

He shows us how were are taught of God, and says it is the SPIRITUAL MIND, that God teaches, as opposed to the natural man, that is, the person whose mind is upon this world in eating, and drinking, and the cares of this life, but to those whose minds are spiritual, God teaches as we compare Scripture with Scripture; fact is, you cannot have it both ways; you either will serve God from the heart, or you shall receive nothing from Him.

                Julia and I have kept our hearts and minds upon God all these years, and that is why He poured out upon us all these things I write about; we have not wasted our time, as some assume, so that now we are in a position to teach the things of God as no man ever hasnot that there has not been men and women with their hearts and minds upon God, but they have not had the resources we have, and as all you who read this have.

                But here is another promise we have:

'...and thou shall know that I am the LORD; and they that wait for me shall not be put to shame.   (Isa.49.23)

This promise I have repeated to myself many times, because we have given God our lives for five decades; we have given him EVERYTHING, so that we only have hope in Him, and this:

16 therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste.   (Isa.28.16)

Then Paul interprets it like this:

10 for with the heart man believesh unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believes on him shall not be put to shame.   (Rom.10.10,11)

And then he repeats it again in chapter 9.33, and Peter repeats it in 1 Pet.2.6.  If you understand what Paul says in Romans 10.17,18 you would realize the believing is obeying, and Julia and I have obey God from the heart all these 50 years; we have not held back; we have not hesitated, as says the Psalm 119.57ff:

57 the LORD is my portion:

      I have said that I would observe thy words.

58 I entreated thy favor with my whole heart:

      Be merciful unto me according to thy word.

59 I thought on my ways,

      And turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

60 I made haste, and delayed not,

      To observe thy commandments.

This is why we have total confidence that my prophecies will come to pass as God will NOT PUT US TO SHAME, because we have obeyed him from the heart; we have not held back, we have not delayed when He showed us what we must do, we have been willing and gone the whole distance, so that we can count on this promise.             

                Now dont think this is all just for us, but in this, you will be encouraged as you see God keep His promises, but with respect to what is coming, you will need this same deliverancethis same salvation, and if you follow us and are obedient as we have been, then you can take this promise:

1    He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High

      Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2    I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress;

      My God, in whom I trust.

3    For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler,

      And from the deadly pestilence.

4    He will cover thee with his pinions,

      And under his wings shall you take refuge:

      His truth is a shield and a buckler.

5    Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night,

      Nor for the arrow that flies by day;

6    For the pestilence that walks in darkness,

      Nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7   A thousand shall fall at thy side,

      And ten thousand at thy right hand;

      But it shall not come nigh thee.

8    Only with your eyes shall thou behold,

      And see the reward of the wicked.

9    For thou, O GOD, are my refuge!

      Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;

10There shall no evil befall you,

      Neither shall any plague come nigh your tent.

11  For he will give his angels charge over you,

      To keep you in all your ways.

12They shall bear you up in their hands,

      Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13Thou shall tread upon the lion and adder:

      The young lion and the serpent shall you trample under foot.

14Because he has his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:

      I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;

      I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him.

16With long life will I satisfy him,

      And show him my salvation.

      (Psm.91)

Of course, the church world claims this same promise but they do not qualify; they do not obey Him, they do not know His truth nor His Name, which is the Word of God (Rev.19.13), but God speaks very plainly about them:

14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste. 17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. 18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. 19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall nought but terror to understand the report.   (Isa.28.14ff)

In this context is that promise, he that believes will not be put to shame, but to whom does God address this rebuke? but to ministers, even those who have lifted themselves up to represent God who do not know Him, but teach lies and falsehood; they teach you that you are going to be delivered from the ravages of the Tribulation even though your sins remain; that will not happen, people; you need to come out of the church world (note 2 Cor.6.14ff) and then sit down and read your Bibles apart from their foolishness.

                See: my wife and I have been very diligent to meet the qualifications for receiving the promises, something the church world totally ignores, but make excuses for not obeying God, and thus they will not be delivered from the coming trouble, as God says, he will strip away their false fronts so that the trouble will sweep away the refuge of lies.

                Here:

1    Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

2    O my God, I trust in you: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

3    Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.   (Psm.25.1-3)

Of course, I hope in this so that all these critics out here cannot yelp and scream their delight because what I prophesied does not come to pass...or so they suppose,

But listen to me, people, and take this to heart: if the Bible is true...if it is the Word of God...if it can be trusted, then we will be delivered, and all that I have taught is true and all that I have prophesied will come to pass, because I have done everything God has asked and commanded, nothing lacking so that I have this good conscience.

              Let me ask: how many of you can boast of a good conscience?  How many of you can boast of MAINTAINING a good conscience for years and years?!  You cannot possibly have a good conscience unless you are serving God in truth, as Paul says of himself:

1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit   (Rom.9.1)

and this:

12 For our glorifying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.  (2 Cor.1.12)

How many of you big shot preachers can say this, but Titus tells all about you:

15 To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.   (Tit.1.15,16)

And do you think that I am not going to put you preachers, prophets, tent evangelists, and all you who teach lies to shame!  You hope to God that I am wrong while your heart tells you that I am right, and you fear and oh indeed, how you will fear when these signs come in the sky, and that tsunami sweeps the northern Pacific, and when the volcanoes in Washington and Oregon go off; you will pee your pants, and you will not be able to eat for days as you sit and watch on your televisions the destruction and carnage these things cause.

                So why does Paul make such an issue out of his having a good conscience?   Because, as I already quoted, consider:

21 And your ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.   (Isa.30.21 in context)

as we read from 1 Kings 19, God speaks to us in our conscience, as here:

13 for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified: 14 (for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves; 15 in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing   (Rom.2.13ff)

God speaks through your conscience and your thoughts, so that no person ever born has an excuse for not known what is right and what is wrong, because God shows every one of us through our conscienceHe speaks to us.  What is it that makes you feel bad when you have done evil to someone?  It is your conscience condemning you as God sees it all, and what is it that makes you feel good when you help someone?  It is God commending you for doing what is right.

                When you search the Scriptures to know God, He will lead you, as Paul says:

12 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: 13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.   (Rom.8.12ff)

This is how Julia and I are led by God, and the better you come to know Him the plainer His leading is.   When I write these things, it is the Lord that brings to mind the Scriptures I use, and because I have spent all these years seeking and studying His Word, He is able to give me a very clear and precise message to write to you.

                His anointing is with me every dayevery minute of the day as here:

27 And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abides in you, and you need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teaches you; concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him.   (1 Jn.2.27)

It is the Spirit of God which leads us according to Gods plan and His will.  He leads me even when I get too tired to sit here writing to you; He gets me up to go do other things and to even take care of the chores we have around here. 

                The point is, that in the days to come when you begin to seek God earnestly, He will also lead you and will keep you out of a great deal of heart ache and trouble if you listen to your conscience and are sensitive to it.  And believe me; when you are tempted to do something that is not right, your conscience will tell youeven if it is a quick snap decision, you will always have the time to go the right direction.

My Thoughts Are Not Your Thoughts

                But there is more, as we read this:

6 Seek you the LORD while he may be found, call you upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace   (Isa.55.6ff)

You have heard this text abused, and used even to prove that we cannot know God, when that is His very objection: you do not know Him so that your thoughts are not His thoughts, but if you seek Him, having your heart right with Him, and study the Word of God, your thoughts will become His thoughts, and His thoughts your thoughts.

                This is the way He speaks to me, and He will also speak to you this same way once you have studied His Word, so that you KNOW it; if you know Gods Word, then you will know Him, it is just that simple, but because you do not know His Word, you cannot know Him, you cannot possibly know His thoughts.  But after studying Gods Bible all these years, making it my life to seek Him, I do know Him and I am led by Him every moment of the day.

                Now for those of you who read this after the fact, you will have a much easier time believing it, and you will read my web sites with considerable interest, and you will know that what I have written it right and you who believe it and do it, you will watch yourself being delivered from the trouble as it sweeps across this country and eventually the world.

The Destruction of Israel

                Oh yes, and we must not forget Israel in all this; your ministers have taught you that Israel will be delivered through all of its troubles, that is, up until now, and some of your old icons have taught that when Gog and Magog come down from the north, Israel will beat them back, and that the battle of Armagedon (Rev.16.16) will be fought when Jesus comes.  That is not true; your ministers do not realize that this is going to occur AFTER the 1000 years reign of Christ. 

But now Israel will go into captivity again, as Moses said:

25 When thou shall beget children, and childrens children, and you shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger: 26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. 27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and you shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. 28 And there you shall serve gods, the work of mens hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 29 But if from thence you shall seek the LORD thy God, you shall find him, if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon you, even in the latter days, if you turn to the LORD your God, and shall be obedient unto his voice; 31 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he sware unto them.   (Deu.4.25ff)

Israel does NOT SEEK GOD WITH ALL OF THEIR HEART AND WITH ALL OF THEIR SOUL so that it is impossible that they will be delivered from their present trouble, and they will yet be scattered again, but when they are scattered again, they will finally turn to God with all of their heart and with all of their soul, and THEN God will deliver them and again will gather them.

The Creation Waits

                Consider this:

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God.   (Rom.8.18,19)

Now, what do you suppose he is talking about, except for this time and place, except for this final generation in which God will reveal Himself to all who seek Him, who now have this blessed opportunity no other generation has ever had in that we can now know God to the uttermost since we have the full revelation of Him in His Word.

                Think about this; you can now know God!  Whereas other generations have not had this opportunity; this generation, as I have said, has the best and most accurate Bibles mankind has ever seen; for over 100 years, God has had men at work creating the tools we now have by which we can thoroughly search the Scriptures, and when all these troubles begin, men will begin to seek God as they never have, and they will find Him because He will make Himself known to them as they search His Word.

                This is what I am about; the Lord has brought me to this hour so that you can find God without having to go off to the church world.  In the Dark Ages, when men did not have the Bible, the Catholic and Anglican churches were the only ones with the Scriptures, but thanks to King James of England, he ordered the Bible to be published for all the people to read, and he gave us a wonderful work in his King James Version of the Bible.  But since then as more manuscripts have been uncovered, newer versions came along in the late 1800s which made the revelation of the Word of God even more accurate; the English Revised Version, and the American Standard Version (1901) have proved to be exceedingly accurate, so that we can know God in utter detail.   As a consequence, all during the 20th century the Bible was printed by the hundreds of millions so that almost every household in the civilized world has at least one Bible, and many have two or three.

                But of course, Satan is doing his best to interfere while the church world would lead you away from the truth, and because God has withheld the truth from those whose hearts are not right with Him, very few in this generation have come to know Him, but that is all going to change.

                Indeed, we wait for the revealing of the sons of God, as men will seek God as never before when Gods judgments are in the earth, as the prophet says:

8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; to thy name, even to thy memorial name, is the desire of our soul. 9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.   (Isa.26.8ff)

And what indeed IS HIS NAME?  His name is, THE WORD OF GOD, as we may read:

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men 14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.   (Jn.1.1-4,14)

And when we compare that to this:
