YHWH is JEHOVAH in our English PURE Bible (1769 KJB). YHWH should be JHVH when expressing the Hebrew consonants based on the actual "sound" of the "soft g" that the "Jod" has even though often expressed as "Yod"...(look at Psalm 119 where "Jod" is the header for that section starting at verse #73 "Thy hands"...

It is most spiritually significant that the Jod (or Yod if you prefer but pronounced the same)...actually is the Hebrew root for "Hand, Arm, Hands, Arms"...

Welcome to this web site packed with information to enlighten your "eyes of understanding" to the truth of the words of the LORD (Jehovah) as well as the current events shaping our world. We all need knowledge combined with wisdom and discernment. We need God's direction to make the right response and take correct action.

The purpose of this site is to glorify the LORD Jesus Christ and to seek human souls that need His eternal salvation...

I ask you...

Are you prepared and ready for the Father; Jehovah (JHVH) the true MOST HIGH ALMIGHTY LORD and GOD to send again His only begotten and eternal SON, Jesus (Jeshua) - "God manifest in the flesh" to return to planet earth to establish the glorious Kingdom of  God over all of the conquered kingdoms of this world? He came as a Lamb and Saviour...next He will return to the earth's actual land surface  as the Lion of the tribe of Judah... the KING of Kings and LORD of Lords.

When He comes as the Bridegroom for the Bride (and Body) He does not come to the earth's surface. He catches the Bride out of the earth suddenly to meet with them in the "air"...the outermost atmospheric region where the world does not yet see Him, but experiences the catastrophic disappearance of countless millions of living humans and the strange phenomena of evidences of this sudden unexpected event...for example, massive numbers of missing children...in fact, they can't find hardly any children anywhere on the face of the earth...

Experts of the Holy Scriptures have speculated that the "age of accountability for sin" and a consciousness by a child of a need for salvation by conviction of the Holy Ghost, is hard to determine...there are various factors involved. Jesus said "suffer the little children" "to come unto me" but the Apostle John calls all believers "little children". Perhaps it is a very individual scenario for each child and even older persons as well, based on their development physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually as many circumstances may differ widely. Mentally impaired or genetically impaired individuals such as those born with Downs Syndrome have limited capacity to understand their responsibility before God. In His infinite mercy, love and grace, the LORD will always "do right". 

Genesis 18:25 (KJV)

That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 

Background history for my study and research

I have had the privilege of studying, memorizing and steadily learning the Holy Scriptures since 1959 when I was saved as an 8 year old boy at a Bible Summer Camp that preached and taught the true glorious Gospel of the real God (and Godhead), Jehovah... and His only begotten Son, the LORD Jesus Christ (also the eternal God, and "God manifest in the flesh") and the Holy Ghost (also, the eternal God and "the Spirit of Christ").

The Pastor (and preacher) of the camp and his people used the trustworthy text in the English language commonly referred to as "the King James Version" or "the Authorized Version". (called these names since the mid 17th century. *originally just called the Holy Bible of 1611. The AV1611 in the 1769 Cambridge edition is the most consistent printed one of these - Today's Cambridge has some minor flaws).

In 1977, I became a Bible teacher as a 26 year old adult...working together with my wife in our church youth group.

As I taught the senior high class I really "dug into" my studies as a more serious student of the words of the LORD. I knew my accountability would be required one day at the Judgment seat of Christ where I would give an account and answer to my Saviour and LORD Jesus for my motives and efforts as a teacher... and how I handled His words.

Could I honestly say I had "kept" His words?  

Kept means "protected, preserved and contended for"...as it applies in the context of "keeping His words"...It does not imply that we must perfectly obey all of them...certainly not for our salvation to be effective, otherwise His "once for all" atoning sacrifice on the cross for our ongoing and continuous cleansing and forgiveness would be unnecessary!

Teaching is my primary spiritual gift and I must use it for His glory and purpose. 

As I prepared my lessons, I began to see problems among the various versions of the English bibles that I had acquired in the late 70's (mostly as gifts from family). I noticed with deep concern that there were conflicting renderings, missing words, even whole portions of the text were gone compared to my experience of being "weaned at the breast" as a "babe in Christ" on the old King James Bible.

Our Pastor who was (and is) a great man and preacher, had been trained by the scholars in his academic experience... that only the "originals" were pure, preserved, inspired etc. which implied that what we had and used was a slightly imperfect translation (but no doctrine affected... and so it is believed by many innocent victims). 

Therefore, this doctrinal position viewed the Bible issue as a matter of your own preferential choice among many acceptable versions of the text (with only a few very corrupt liberal versions actually rejected).

The Old Testament book of Job reminds us that "great men are not always wise."

At the time, I did not understand the details of why any of this was even an issue... but the LORD showed me something was amiss...and He convicted me to put aside the modern bibles. In due time he would show me (when He knew I was ready) what happened to cause the horrific changes and conflicts.

In the 1960's and 1970's I learned a great deal about the hundreds and hundreds of prophecies in the scriptures, especially pertaining to the future return of the LORD Jesus for His "Body and Bride" (true saved believers) and after that, to establish His earthly Kingdom... which would ultimately be conjoined to His Heavenly Kingdom with the New Heaven and the New Earth (and the New Jerusalem).

In the 1980's I began to learn more about... and investigate in earnest... the NEW AGE MOVEMENT; the surging advance of the antichrist spirit, seeing how these worldwide factors of change fit in with pure preserved Bible prophecies.

The occult spirit world, the secret societies, the growing false religions and cults, the geo-politics, the advancing technologies, the global economics and Lucifer's spiritual strategies all pointed to a manipulation of humans in many conspiracies. His design and purpose is to consolidate his power into a one world government. The evidence was becoming front and center as I was "connecting the dots" into a growing big picture...an understanding...a "vision" of increased clarity with my spiritual eyes (not a trance like counterfeit "charismatic-pentecostal" type *no disrespect intended to fellow born again believers). This was true discernment coming from the Holy Spirit.

The changes in the world that the LORD was allowing to happen... He had predicted (in His word) ...were coming to pass...often right in front of us on TV and other forms of media coverage.

It was all very thrilling to see that we live in the time of the end; the last days that lead up to the LORD Jesus Christ's return.

During this same period from 1984 - 1992, as I travelled around the world extensively, I did some side research on the text issue and history of how we got the Bible. Dr. Edward Hills, Dr. David Otis Fuller, Dean Burgon, Dr. D. A.Waite. Floyd Nolan Jones and a number of other sources would steer me toward a growing trust and confidence in the KJB as the best English translation. However, this was not satisfying and did not conform completely with the statements of the Holy Spirit in the Scriptures themselves...words used such as "holy, pure, powerful, preserved, quick (alive), Spirit, Life" and more!  I wanted concrete answers which would ultimately come when the LORD was ready to show me the details of the satanic plot.

In the 1990s this issue would become a personal quest for me...I wanted thorough historical and academic answers which I sensed were out there.

1993 was the year that two major research works of importance were published and released. They each came to me in rather unusual ways of God's providential leading. My steps were ordered by the LORD right when they were released. I soon found myself reading and re-reading, cross checking and comparing...and then sharing these books and findings with the important spiritual leaders and mentors in my life...my Pastor (at the time), my family and close brethren I trusted with controversial issues.

These books (and my networking with key brethren) were used by the LORD to understand the evil plot of Satan, designed to bring confusion, contradiction, distraction, dilution and doctrinal errors into God's words. Lucifer-satan knows he cannot completely destroy God's word so His strategy, as always, is "subtle". "Yea, hath God said?" This started with Eve and continued throughout history to today.

Lucifer's strategy is to cast doubt...and then co-opt the true pure English Bible...to steal it and to corrupt it into a satanically useful "bible"..."counterfeit scriptures" that the "New World Order" of the final Antichrist can redefine and ultimately use.

Satan's man (and the impostor "savior" of mankind) will be received by a large majority of the world as "the Christ", "the World Teacher", "the coming One" etc.  ... during a temporary and false peace and prosperity worldwide... and he will stand on the authority of corrupted scriptures and extra-biblical writings as well. Some ill advised and deceived "info warriors" are buying into a lie that there should be 77 or even some saying 777 books that are supposed to be in the Bible; saying that Satan used the Vatican to hide most of them away from the world...and when these other "scriptures" are revealed it will overturn much of what we believe...UNTRUE! God knows very well exactly what He wanted us to have for our eternal salvation and walk of uprightness with Him in this world until Jesus comes for His bride. He has only allowed perfect and pure books into His eternal word.

Hence my theme of "Solid Rock - Sinking Sand" is taken from Matthew Chapter 7. We need the TRUTH, the whole truth and nothing but the TRUTH.

The two research books released in 1993 were like two huge bombshells... explosions...and "disruptions" to the status quo in the "Christian etsablishment". The English speaking and "English second language" (ESL) worlds were the first to experience a "God sent disruption" and a slowing down of Satan's plans for deceiving God's people.

Lucifer seeks to divert prospective "converts" from the true "glorious Gospel" in the pure scriptures. He targets his most devious and subtle deception at those people who are moving toward the trustworthy real Bible, having open and believing hearts, truly seeking God... and anyone considering seriously that it just might have the answers to life's most important questions.

Satan desires to remove the true sharp and powerful "sword" from our hands and our churches to promote lukewarmness and apostasy...the great "falling away" predicted by God.

Lucifer also works tirelessly to dull the sword...which has razor sharp blade edges of the true Holy Scriptures...with cutting clarity so it will not have the precision work of powerful truth that is beyond any human reason or debate. This "dullness" weakens believers and lessens the effectiveness of the word for leading souls to the truth.

The two books I am referring to have been huge successes and have transformed many confused individual hearts and churches.

These books are in a well matured state (vetted thoroughly during the past 3 decades) and have well seasoned and advanced printing editions available so the inadvertent minor errors and printing typos have been weeded out for the most part. God has used these works and sent them far and wide even though they are outside of the mainstream publishers' usual control...for heavy book promotion and wide distribution.

Dr. William P. Grady, Final Authority (and other later books released by this author and PhD in history, after this one)....

and

Dr. G. A. Riplinger, New Age Bible Versions*

(*since then Dr. Riplinger's follow up books, In Awe of Thy Word and Hazardous Materials have continued and expanded greatly the study and research in this area of textual understanding)

 Since the original two 1993 book releases, many other people and churches have been encouraged to research this all important issue of the textual purity of God's words. I drew much motivation and insight to document my own Bible findings in the articles accumulated for my writings (and teaching) SOLID ROCK - SINKING SAND.

As the Internet has become increasingly important for true information and sources for research, it has become clear that the old media forms have all been taken over and co-opted by Satan's system of control. The old and stale mainstream "dinosaur" media is now used for propaganda and control of what the masses will believe and perceive as their reality...their "paradigm" is a false one; a constructed narrative by Satan's forces no better than a State controlled media in communist countries.

It matters little whether you are "left or right"..."liberal or conservative"...the control of the overall "endgame" is in place. We are losing our Republic and our Constitution. Some believe we have already lost both; having good reason based on the evidence to prove their view.

The continuity of Satan's agenda happens regardless of the political party in control of the White House or the Congress.

My research, writing, teaching and Internet-based information are ongoing and intensifying because time is growing short.

Thank you for your interest and prayer support. Comments and suggestions are welcome and usually quite helpful. Criticism is encouraged... "iron sharpens iron".

We all need to be "wise as serpents", "harmless as doves"...

But the main focus, no matter what comes to pass in our lives is always the "Glorious Gospel" of salvation by God's love, mercy and grace through the LORD Jesus Christ.

We must declare and minister the truth that matters most... to all people that God brings across our paths. We must win all we can, while we can...and... earn what we can, while we can...to fund it...while recognizing that it is accomplished only by God's Spirit and might...not our resources in the flesh...

We must work each and every day with zeal and commitment..."for the night cometh when no man can work."

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.  And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.   Revelation 19: 11-16

We desire to help people see the reality of the "glorious Gospel" of salvation through the person and work of the LORD Jesus Christ as the only hope for our future in the eternal plan of Jehovah God, the MOST HIGH.

 As we experience the growing intrusion of the global government of the NWO (New World Order), taking greater control over our lives with its one world political, administrative, financial and UN, EU, NATO military structure, we see clearly... that behind it all... is an elaborate secret (occult) plan of the ages (from ancient times to the present) for the rule of the planet by Lucifer and his minions.

We can also see God's perspective and purpose...and just how accurate the Holy prophets of the Holy Scriptures are, especially concerning predictive prophecy. This includes the LORD Jesus himself who had much to say about the end times events and signs before his return.

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven,saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever."  Revelation 11:15

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear;"

1 Peter 3:15
