A Sports Car –
A friend when I was young let me drive his sports car. I had to wait until I was 70 to get my first one. A BRZ. Loved it so much I gave it to my son and bought another one. My sports car days lasted eight years when I found it was too hard to get in and out of.

A Prophecy Fulfilled –
A reliable connection with numbers and colors. Without them, your interpretation cannot be trusted. Translators cannot be trusted. What can be trusted? A literal sense of the word if it has been translated as such. The meaning of a word does not translate well which makes interpretation nearly impossible. It must be revealed. The wise will understand.

A Storm and Thunder –
A Russian astronomer claimed John Chrysostom wrote the Apocalypse in 395 based on astronomy. This John was in Ephesus at the beginning of 401. He could have said, “there are seven kings: five are fallen.” At the time, five of the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire had fallen. Really.

A Color –
A connection with history and prophecy. The translators didn’t know the meaning of numbers and colors so they were forced to use the literal sense of these words. With many of the other words they were able to translate the meaning and that is why we have so many different versions of the bible. We can’t understand any of it until it is revealed to us and when it is we will know that the end is near. And that’s the truth.

A YouTube App –
A place for music and movies. I feel a little bad about it. Could I spend more time sleeping? I do need to spend more time resting because of a bad heart valve. I would like to thank all those people on YouTube that show me how to fix the garage door, the dawn to dusk control, etc.

A Meaning –
A tool for communicating. The translators couldn’t agree on the meaning of certain words. That is why there are 60 different English versions of the Bible. What do they agree on? Numbers and colors. This may be the only reliable connection of history and prophecy. Our interpretation of what has been prophesied must take this into account. Trust numbers and colors.

A Profiles In Courage. A trip to India with the Peace Corps. New York, Porto Rico, Californian and Rome before India and Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, and Hawaii, after. Around the world.
