POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A dictator will "make war on the saints [the Christian nations],gain power over every nation," (Revelation 13.7).This conquest implies world war. Yes, NUCLEAR war would explain "sudden destruction" at Rapture(1 Thessalonians 4.16-5.3)
RIGHT AFTER SEPTEMBER 8TH - Christ's Words Are About to be Fulfilled
He said, "Immediately after the tribulation of those days,"
there would be "signs in the sky"(Matthew 24.29; Luke 21.25).
Well, "those days" refers to the Roman-Jewish War of 66 - 70 AD.
While "the tribulation" of that war was the Roman siege
of Jerusalem, which siege lasted for 5 months.
That tribulation ended on September 8th ("Elul 8th"), so "immediately after"
would have to mean, RIGHT AFTER SEPT 8TH (of an unspecified year).
(My source for that date is Josephus, "The Wars of the Jews," book 6, chapter 10).
So the "signs" in the sky...

The New Testament DENIES the Inerrancy of the Law of Moses (the first 5 books of the Bible)
For we read, "The Law was given by Moses,
But ..TRUTH came by Jesus Christ" (John 1.17).
Why doesn't it say, "the Law was given by Moses
But additional truth came by Jesus Christ" ?
Because the purpose of that statement is to
convey the gap between the Law and the Gospel.
The Law of Moses isn't on a par with the Gospel.
The Bible isn't a monolith, a homogenized whole.
When Christ said that He came to "fulfill the Law,"
This can mean in the sense of correcting the weaknesses, the flaws, the errors therein !!

The Roman Siege of Jerusalem in AD 70 Ended on Sept 8th, Why Is That Important ??
Christ said, "Immediately after the tribulation of those days" (Matthew 24.29),
the EndTime Tribulation will come in the form of nuclear war.
(Actually, He spoke of the coming of "signs in the sky,"(Luke 21.25),
But they add up to nuclear war. So I'm just being more direct).
The tribulation of AD 70 (the Roman siege of Jerusalem)
ended on Sept 8th (Elul 8th), according to Josephus,
in his book, "Wars of the Jews," (book 6, chap 10).
So "immediately after" would mean right after Sept 8th - of an unspecified year.

Waking Up Around Midnight
Waking up around midnight from a sound sleep,
I hear Dad shouting "No, no, no, I won't accept it,"
Followed by sounds of him crying, sobbing, bawling.
Then there is silence, but its only a pause.
For the whole-hearted weeping picks up again in a few minutes.
My mother had been sick for a long time with liver cancer.
Earlier that same night, when I kissed her good night,
I was surprised at the corpse-like coldness of her forehead.
I had never seen her like that before...

self sex naturally develops into same sex
Same Sex is Self Sex - or as Close to it as You can Get.
Same sex action is an extension of self sex.
It picks up where self sex action leaves off.
Gays claim "i was born this way," implying that
straights, likewise,are straight from the start..
Actually anyone who masturbates and enjoys it is
conditioning himself to find pleasure in same sex encounters.
Just like when an individual is alone and throws
a baseball into the air and hits it with a bat -
He is preparing for playing ball on a team level.

Earth Colonizing Mars is Like the Zygote Splitting into Two Cells !!!
After the sperm cell penetrates the globe of the ovum
and dies, it transforms the ovum into the zygote,
which then splits into two cells.
Likewise, Christ entered the world and, by giving His life,
Has wrought the transformation of mankind into a science-driven society.
That has at last entered the Space Age - cosmic exploration..
When we colonize Mars, transforming it into a living planet
It will be as though Earth has split into two civilization-bearing planets.
It will be as though a zygote were splitting...

While We Can't Know the Exact "Day and Hour," We CAN Discover the Approximate Date of the Rapture/Tribulation
For Christ said that "immediately after" the first Tribulation,
the EndTime Tribulation would begin(Matthew 24.29).
And the first Tribulation was the Roman siege of Jerusalem
during the Roman-Jewish War of AD 66 - AD 70.
That siege was completed on September 8th(AD 70),
according to Josephus, the Jewish historian
("The Wars of the Jews," book 6, chap.10).
So "immediately after" the first Trib would simply mean:
September 9th or 10th or 11th - especially 9/11 -.

Debunking the Prederist View
The Prederist view is that the "Olivet Discourse"(Matthew 24)
was all somehow fulfilled in the first century,
The Great Tribulation was fulled by the Roman-Jewish War, from 66 to 70 AD.
The predictions of the Antichrist aka "the Beast," "the Man of Sin," "the King of the North" -
They were all fulfilled by Nero Caesar !!(How absurd !!
As you can see, the Prederists are empty headed intellectual zombies.
They are brain-dead. Zombies are all Einsteins compared to Prederists.
Here's how to disprove their lies.

Is It Right To Build the Kingdom of God On Earth ??
The Lord's Prayer includes the line:
"Thy Kingdom Come(Thy Will Be Done) on Earth As It Is In Heaven."
As God's Will is done on Earth, His Kingdom also comes to the Earth.
Just because the Antichrist (Gorbachev) will rule the world(Revelation 13.7)
For the very SHORT time of "5 months" (Revelation 9.5,10),
That doesn't obviate us from our duty to live as though we were in Heaven.
"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you"( ).
"Set your affection on things above, not on things in the Earth"( ).

Hiding in Plain Sight, the (Approximate) Date of the Rapture is Within Our Grasp (Maybe)
Since Lincoln was born Feb 12 and I was born (around) Feb 15,
I can truthfully say I was born right after him,
Even though I was born about 150 years later.
If we ignore the years and stick to the months,
I truly was born right after Lincoln.
Likewise, when Christ says,
"immediately after the tribulation of those days" in 70 AD,
that the endtime Tribulation will begin(Matthew 24.29),
it can still become true,
even though more than 1,900 years have passed.
All we have to do is throw out the years and stick with the...

What Comes After the Colonizing of the Galaxy By Mankind? The Whole Universe??
Answer:Yes, the colonizing of the whole universe !!
What people say is NOT true.You hear all the time that
"all the stars are zooming away from us,
because the universe is expanding,"
(Which expansion is evidence for the Big Bang Theory.)
Yes, all the stars in the OTHER galaxies are zooming away,
But NOT the stars in our own Milky Way Galaxy !!
They, a hundred billion stars, are being held in place by gravity.
This gives us the priceless privilege of reaching those stationary stars
Whenever our...

Young Earth Creationists (YEC) Are the Spiritual Descendants of "the Judaizers" that Troubled Paul the Apostle
The Judaizers taught that you had to become a Jew as part of being saved.
Or, at least you had to observe/obey the Law of Moses, as found in the first 5 books of the Bible.
The Young Earthers speak of, likewise, "the Genesis foundation" of Christianity.
Christianity stands or falls on the basis of the historicity of Adam and Eve, they assert.
"If there were no Adam and Eve, then the Bible is lying to us.
How can we be sure of any other part of the Bible.?"
And so Christianity is in danger of collapsing like a house of cards.
So instead of...
