I don't read books as much as I would ;like to because I seem to have very little time to do that however, the last book I read was a few years ago called "Spiritual Warfare" by Richard Ing. A very good "how to" book.

What was your last book? :cuttreex1

I just finished read the book of Matthew again, yesterday. Started a little in to Marks already. I got different kinds of books, like Stephen king, for example, I got few books like Revelations on Revelation by Shawn McCranney. There was a book I gave away I never finished reading; Glenn Hill “ Christianity greatest dilemma: Is Jesus coming back again or not “ it was a simple book, and establishing the real life people then in the Bible and how they were encouraged to remain faithful and continue to watch and not go towards other things while things progressed to the Day of the LORD; with Jesus returning to save them from the wrath of God. I also have Jospeus and his writings concerning the Roman and Jewish war; a hard read but it also has his “ Jewish antiquity’s writings on the history he lived in which also includes the destruction of Jerusalem.

Josephus refers in his writings to two pillars made by Adam...

"Adam having predicted a destruction of the universe, at one time by a violent fire and at another by a mighty deluge of water – they erected two pillars, one of brick and the other of stone, and inscribed these discoveries on both" - Josephus in the Jewish Antiquities, and also told in the Book of Enoch

In the works of Josephus i remember there were two pillars built by Seth... Adam predicted the earth would be destroyed by fire & flood, so Seth’s people made 2 pillars & inscribed their inventions of astronomy on them so future descendents would know the stone one remains in Siriad today...

Trying to recall the Josephus...Apologies for the many posts... About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who performed surprising deeds and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Christ. And when, upon the accusation of the principal men among us, Pilate had condemned him to a cross, those who had first come to love him did not cease. He appeared to them spending a third day restored to life, for the prophets of God had foretold these things and a thousand other marvels about him. And the tribe of the Christians, so called after him, has still to this day not disappeared. - Flavius Josephus: Antiquities of the Jews, Book 18, Chapter 3, 3[

Josephus lived in the time of Christ and his image reflects the image of the people of the time.

Which also resembles the image of the shroud...

Last year. Glory of the stars, by e raymond capt. A Christian scholar. Its the zodiac, 12 constellations. Psalms chapter 19. God gave stars, and zodiac as signs and seasons. The zodiac became perverted by Satan. Ever hear of horoscopes. Virgo for example, is prophecy. It for told of Jesus crucification.

Constellation Taurus. Orion, the coming prince. This is lamb of God, Jesus. The mighty hunter with sword. Job 38:28. Can thou bring forth mazzaroth in its seasons. Which is the zodiac. Man can exercise no control over the move ments the constellations. But must wait for each sign of its season.

Constellation Taurus. The brightest star is Betelgeuz. It means the coming branch. Next Star is Rigol, in the left foot. Means, in the act of crushing head of the enemy. In December 2023, a asteroid came past the star Betelgeuz. Lot of Christian people missed this Sign. In the constellation Orion the Taurus.


We saw Bible prophecy in Jeremiah, Damascus. Assad left to Russia. The city is in ruins. We're seeing Catatrophic event in California. Some people calling it a Apocalypse. Wild fires. These are signs of the end. We're getting closer to the 6th trump , and 7 th trump.

Isaiah chapter 60::1-3. Arise, shine, for thy light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people. But the Lord upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the gentiles shall come to thy light. And kings to the brightness of Thy rising.

Psalms chapter 19.
The heavens declare the glory of God the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour out speech, might after night they reveal knowledge. Yet they're voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the end of world, in the heavens God has pitched a tent in the sun. It is like bride groom coming out, of his chsmber. Like a champion rejoicing to run his course. Peace.

Me and a client of mine are going through some of this book.
Screenshot 2025-01-10 035432.png I found it interesting a priest in a tank, throwing out new testaments to people in Russia a wild thing, however, interesting. I believe we made it to chapter 3. It also mentions some of the Alamo.

When the set arrived in the mail, were you as shocked as I was at just how large it was?
Daunting to say the least. I still haven't dug unto it, but its on the list. Do you recommend starting at the beginning?
I would skim over the material and then dive into the places your heart takes you first. Hard to believe a tinker thought of all of that! Back when I was a teenager I would grab a volume (The Works of John Bunyan) and spend hours in awe over what I was reading.
