13 "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
– Daniel 7:13-14 NIV
That’s who Jesus said he was; the “son of man,” even though his coming wasn’t like “coming with the clouds of heaven.” It also didn’t happen during the rise to power of the “fourth beast,” described by Daniel. He would have thought that the Romans were the “fourth beast,” and that the “clouds of heaven” were a metaphor for the afterlife. But Rome wasn’t the “fourth beast,” so they quickly took care of Jesus, like they would any other threat to their domination. If he truly thought that he was the “son of man,” then he would have thought that he was supposed to be taking on the great Babylon, predicted to fall during the “end times,” as predicted by the prophets. He would have been confident of his success in ending the domination of his people from the Romans, but it didn’t happen for several hundred years later.
The “fourth beast” didn’t show up for almost two thousand years later.
23 "He gave me this explanation: 'The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. 24 The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. 25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time.
– Daniel 7:23-25 NIV
Who is currently the most powerful nation on earth? Is there any chance that any other nation could become more powerful than it? The answer to those questions should be telling us something. There is no chance that any other country could ever get more powerful than us, because we would never let that happen. We have reached the ultimate pinnacle of power with our military, and have clearly established that we aren’t afraid to use it to destroy any “unfriendly” nation that threatens us. A king is mentioned; one that is “different from the earlier ones.” What outstanding characteristic does the front-runner in the most powerful nation on earth’s presidential election have? Few people would miss the answer to that question. For the first time a black man will be the president, and we are being given a glimpse into what he will do.
23 "In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a stern-faced king, a master of intrigue, will arise. 24 He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men and the holy people. 25 He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.
– Daniel 8:23-25 NIV
That doesn’t sound much like the man who is about to be elected president. Our next president appears to be a man of integrity, and a devout Christian. Surely he would welcome the “Most High,” wouldn’t he? He apparently won’t. “He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws.” He will be faced with major problems, and won’t recognize that his and his nation’s downfall can’t be prevented. That is the part of the prophecy that will keep him from understanding the rest of it. His nation’s downfall is just one aspect. That event is followed by destructive events that threaten human existence. He won’t want to believe that his nation is the “Great Babylon,” predicted by his religion’s very own Revelation.
When this prophecy is realized as being fulfilled, many people will begin to realize that we are in trouble, and his response to that realization will be denial. “When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes.” He will have two “enemies,” during his reign. The “son of man,” and the “Prince of princes.” He will have to go after the man that destroyed the Twin Towers, Osama bin Laden, because he is still alive, and doing well. And according to the rest of the prophecy of the “son of man,” he will remain that way throughout its entirety. As crazy as it sounds, that is what Daniel says, and Ezekiel expands on. The “son of man” was given the authority to divide the land for the “Prince of princes.”
“13 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "These are the boundaries by which you are to divide the land for an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel, with two portions for Joseph. 14 You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with uplifted hand to give it to your forefathers, this land will become your inheritance.”
– Ezekiel 47:13-14 NIV
“21 "What remains on both sides of the area formed by the sacred portion and the city property will belong to the prince. It will extend eastward from the 25,000 cubits of the sacred portion to the eastern border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. Both these areas running the length of the tribal portions will belong to the prince, and the sacred portion with the temple sanctuary will be in the center of them. 22 So the property of the Levites and the property of the city will lie in the center of the area that belongs to the prince. The area belonging to the prince will lie between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin.”
– Ezekiel 48:21-22 NIV
Our next president is going to have a hard time comprehending how the “Prince of princes” doesn’t have a problem with the “son of man.” Unless he reads this, he won’t even know that they are two different individuals, because he is a Christian, and Christians are taught that they are the same individual. That’s because Jesus claimed to be the “son of man,” and the “Son of God.” He mistakenly thought that the “son of man” was the “prince” referred to by Ezekiel. The “son of man” is dividing the land around the temple for someone else. The last “prince” mentioned by Ezekiel is the “Prince of princes” from Daniel. Who else would live in the temple? Only the Ancient One, the Most High, the Prince of princes.
“4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords.”
– Ezekiel 38:4 NIV
"[It is] easy for us to provoke and bait this administration."
"All that we have to do is to send two mujahedeen to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al Qaeda, in order to make generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic and political losses without their achieving anything of note other than some benefits for their private corporations."
– Osama bin Laden 2004
“I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land”
– Ezekiel 38:12 NIV
"We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy."
– Osama bin Laden 2004
“1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "Son of man, set your face against Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuary. Prophesy against the land of Israel 3 and say to her: 'This is what the LORD says: I am against you. I will draw my sword from its scabbard and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked. 4 Because I am going to cut off the righteous and the wicked, my sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north. 5 Then all people will know that I the LORD have drawn my sword from its scabbard; it will not return again.'”
- Ezekiel 21:1-5 NIV
“On that basis, and in compliance with God's order, we issue the following judgment to all Muslims. The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies -- civilians and military -- is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy mosque from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim. This is in accordance with the words of Almighty God, "and fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together," and "fight them until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God."”
– Osama bin Laden 1998
18 The word of the LORD came to me: 19 "Son of man, mark out two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to take, both starting from the same country. Make a signpost where the road branches off to the city. 20 Mark out one road for the sword to come against Rabbah of the Ammonites and another against Judah and fortified Jerusalem.
- Ezekiel 21:18-19 NIV
“But any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel's identity as a Jewish state, with secure, recognized and defensible borders. Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided.”
- Barack Obama 2008
We have the “last war” laid out in front of us now. It is about the occupation of Jerusalem, and the control of the Middle East, “Media.” We have a man that thinks he was sent by God to drive us out of Jerusalem and the rest of the Middle East. We will have a president who is much different from the last 10.
Does it not stand to reason that the Prince of princes should be showing up about now?

Cold as the Next Ice Age
1Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
3I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
That is the opening lines of the King James Version of Isaiah chapter 50. It will be understood by the time the heavens are “clothed in blackness.” There are several mentions in various prophecies of this event, when the stars no longer shine, the sun is shrouded in darkness, and the moon no longer gives off its light.
Something else is given for us to understand. It says that God will “dry up the sea.” We know now that this is quite possible. We know it because scientists have been studying ice cores from glaciers around the world that indicate quiet clearly that during past “ice ages,” quite a lot of water was stored in the glaciers thus reducing the level of the oceans. That last major “ice age” was 12,000 years ago. We know that at that time, sea level was at least 500 feet less than it is now. We are being told that this will happen again. We know from science that it will begin to happen in just a matter of a few years from now. That is how we should know to expect the man who is being described in the next few lines.
4The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
5The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
He is describing his self, and what he will have to deal with when he gets here. We are being told that he will be “learned,” and quite capable of understanding and also explaining what is going on, from a religious as well as a scientific viewpoint. He will come along “in season,” to explain all this to the “weary.” The “weary” is a description of people’s attitudes who will be present when it’s time for his arrival. They will be tired of waiting, and will have “sold their selves,” as described in the opening lines of this chapter.
He will have to take a lot of punishment from people when he arrives, and starts explaining to people what is going on. Those who were “tired of waiting,” and sold their selves will despise him. We are being told to expect that, and his reaction to that. He will NOT be accepted initially, as those who grew “weary” have taught us. He will do his “job” anyway, and take their abuse.
7For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
He will be “cocky,” and challenge those who think they should take him on. He will invite them to “bring it on,” and then watch them “deteriorate.” That doesn’t sound like the Messiah that is presented to us by those who grew “weary” of waiting, and created their own version of him, does it?
10Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
That line is telling us to NOT be ashamed because you have “no light.” It’s telling us to “trust in the name of the LORD,” our God, and “his servant.” In a round about way, it is telling us to ignore those who claim to possess the “light.”
11Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
That is a warning to all those “weary” souls that tried to create their own “light.” They shall “lie down in sorrow,” because they will not listen to the “servant” of God, the true Messiah, when he arrives. Could that be because they tried to create their own version of the Messiah? Did they try to make a Messiah out of the wrong man, and then try to maintain their dignity after doing so?
Did the heavens turn black when their Messiah showed up? Did the seas dry up?
“This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.” The “servant of God” will let the ones who claim to “come in his name,” with their own “light” perish in “sorrow.”

The Seven Fires Prophecy
“The Light-skinned People will be given a choice between two paths. If they choose the right path the Seventh Fire will light the Eighth Fire and final fire of brotherhood and sisterhood. If they choose the wrong path, remaining on the path of the mind, then the destruction they brought with them will come back to destroy them. The people of the earth will experience much suffering and death.” – Edward Benton Banai (a Midewiwin teacher and Grand Chief of the Three Fires Midewiwin Lodge)
That quote is from the book, “The Mishomis Book,” and is a relatively recent rendition of a prophecy that was handed down “word of mouth” for over a thousand years. It’s the last part of what is known as, “The Prophecy of the Seven Fires.” It can be found in several places on the Internet in various forms, some with and some without interpretations. Virtually all the interpretations presented with it agree that we are approaching the “seventh fire.” That is easy to see when anyone reads the prophecy in its entirety, which is presented at the end of this interpretation, which is really an explanation.
If you do a search on the prophecy, you might find that there are various forms of the prophecy, with the last paragraph taken out of context. It appears that a lot of people will readily misquote great words to serve their own misguided missions. If you take a look at the next to the last line, you will see something that quite a lot of people do not want to deal with.
“If they choose the wrong path, remaining on the path of the mind, then the destruction they brought with them will come back to destroy them.”
That line gets taken out of context quite a lot, and is misconstrued to indicate that the rest of humanity is counting on the “Light-skinned People,” for everyone’s salvation. What it’s really saying is that the “Light-skinned People” in North America are going to die, if they rely on their minds, when the air we breathe gets tainted; which is also part of the prophecy, as indicated in the first part of the “Seventh Fire.”
“Much of the forests and prairies would be gone so the air would begin to lose the power of life.”
We know for sure that pollution is rapidly taking its toll on our environment, and we also know for sure that we can’t live without oxygen. What we are being told there is that we better have a source of oxygen when that time comes, or we are going to die. We are told in the line that follows that one, that something the “Light-skinned People” bring would cause this to happen.
“The way of the mind brought to the red, black, and yellow nation by the white nation would bring danger to the whole earth.”
It’s not hard to figure out what was brought with the “mind.” We all love our technological achievements, and most people simply ignore the FACT that some of our technology is polluting our environment so bad that it’s only a matter of time before our world is so polluted that it won’t sustain life. We are being warned there that we will NOT be able to come up with a technological solution for this problem.
That is what our government is currently considering. Our resources are being spent on developing “scrubbers,” instead of mandating laws to stop pollution. That prophecy is telling us that the “scrubbers” we are currently working on WILL NOT work. It is also telling us that those people who are counting on technology to get us through this are going to take the “wrong path.”
Quite a lot of people will make the wrong choice, and the reason for that is also pointed out in this part of the prophecy.
"As this fire loses its heat there will come among the people those who promise great joy and salvation. If the people accept this promise and abandon the old ways, the struggle will continue for many generations. This promise is false and it will nearly destroy those who accept it."
That is from the “Firth Fire” part of this prophecy, and is clearly talking about “Christianity.” The “promise” that was given is that “Jesus is coming back,” and he is going to magically transport people to safety. That belief will indeed get a lot of people killed when a technological “fix” never materializes. That’s the “back door” solution to our current problems. Millions of people think that when we kill the earth, they get a free ride out of here. As that part of the prophecy points out, it’s a “false belief,” which shouldn’t be hard to comprehend. After all, why would God allow the very people who are destroying the earth without remorse to continue living here, while everyone else “goes to Hell?”
The essence of this prophecy is clear. White people will be given a choice between “staying the course” and dying, or open up to their spiritual being and do the right thing, which is pointed out in the following lines.
“If the New People will find trust in the way of all things, in the circle, they will no longer need the selfish voice of the ego and they can begin to trust their inner voice. Wisdom will be once again be found in dreams of the night and of the day.”
That’s going to be a hard one for most white people to do. Those who can hear their “inner voice” are deemed “insane” nowadays. Believe it or not, that is also what this is talking about.
“But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” - Jeremiah 31:33-34 KJV
Don’t worry; just because one group of people came along and tried to convince everyone else that THEY were the “house of Israel,” doesn’t change the FACT that the true “house of Israel” includes everyone that lives through the destruction that is coming. They are referred to as the “New People,” in “The Prophecy of the Seven Fires, which follows.
The Prophecy of the Seven Fires
according to The Mishomis Book by Edward Benton Banai
Seven prophets appeared to the people. The First Prophet told the people that in the time of the First Fire they would leave their homes by the sea and follow the sign of the megis. They were to journey west into strange lands in search of a island in the shape of a turtle. This island will be linked to the purification of the earth. Such an island was to be found at the beginning and at the end of their journey. Along the way they would find a river connecting two large sweet water seas. This river would be narrow and deep as though a knife had cut through the land. They would stop seven times to create villages but they would know that their journey was complete when they found food growing on the water. If they did not leave, there would be much suffering and they would be destroyed. And they would be pursued and attacked by other nations along the way so they must be strong and ready to defend themselves.
The Second Prophet told them they could recognize the Second Fire because while they were camped by a sweet water sea they would lose their direction and that the dreams of a little boy would point the way back to the true path, the stepping stones to their future.
The Third Prophet said that in the Third Fire the Anishinabe would find the path to the lands prepared for them and they would continue their journey west to the place where food grows upon the water.
The Fourth Prophet was two who came as one. The first told them to expect a race of people who had light skin. The future of the Anishinabeg would be known by the face the light-skinned people would wear. If they come in brotherhood there would be a time of wonderful change. New knowledge would be joined with the old knowledge and the two peoples would join to make a mighty nation. Two other nations would join to make four and they would become the mightiest nation of all. If they brought only their knowledge and their good-will they would be like brothers.
The second being of the Fourth Prophet warned the light-skinned race might wear the face of death that would almost look the same as the face of brotherhood. "If they come carrying a weapon and if they seem to be suffering, beware. Behind this face is greed. You shall recognize the face of death if the rivers are poisoned and the fish are unfit to eat."
The Fifth Prophet said that in the time of the Fifth Fire there will be a struggle between the way of the mind of the light-skinned people and the natural path of spirit of the many nations of natural people. "As this fire loses its heat there will come among the people those who promise great joy and salvation. If the people accept this promise and abandon the old ways, the struggle will continue for many generations. This promise is false and it will nearly destroy those who accept it."
The Sixth Prophet told them that in the time of Sixth Fire it would be clear that the promise accepted during the Fifth Fire was false. "Those who were deceived by this promise will take their children away from the teachings of the elders. The elders will lose their purpose in life and many will become sick and die. Many people will be out of balance and the cup of life will become the cup of grief."
The Seventh Prophet was younger than the others who had come and there was a glowing light from his eyes. He said that there would come a time when the waters had been so poisoned that the animals and plants that lived there would fall sick and begin to die. Much of the forests and prairies would be gone so the air would begin to lose the power of life. The way of the mind brought to the red, black, and yellow nation by the white nation would bring danger to the whole earth. In this time there will arise Osh-ki-bi-ma-di-zeeg, a new people who will emerge from the clouds of illusion. They will retrace their steps to find the treasures that had been left by the trail. The stories that had been lost will be returned to them. They will remember the Original Instructions and find strength in the way of the circle. Their search will take them to the elders and the new people will ask for guidance. But many of the elders will have walked the Path of the Souls to the Star Web. Many elders will have forgotten their wisdom and they will not be able to help. Some of the elders will point in the wrong direction and others will remain silent because of their fear. Some of the elders will be silent because no one has asked them for their wisdom.
If the New People will find trust in the way of all things, in the circle, they will no longer need the selfish voice of the ego and they can begin to trust their inner voice. Wisdom will be once again be found in dreams of the night and of the day. The sacred fire will once again be lit. The Light-skinned People will be given a choice between two paths. If they choose the right path the Seventh Fire will light the Eighth Fire and final fire of brotherhood and sisterhood. If they choose the wrong path, remaining on the path of the mind, then the destruction they brought with them will come back to destroy them. The people of the earth will experience much suffering and death.

Waicomah Tete "Lord of the Wind"
He has more “names” than anyone can keep up with. That’s because he has been everywhere on the planet, including North America, which appears to have been his favorite land; based on his many visits there. If you take the time to research all the stories about him, you will eventually find a common thread among them, even though they are as varied as all other beliefs about him. Two things about him stand out amongst all over attributes associated with him, besides the two that everyone knows. Besides knowing him as a “prophet” and a “healer,” the Native Americans of antiquity knew him as a “pale, bearded man,” and quite a lot of them bestow the title, “Lord of the Wind.”
“The story of the Ghost Dance begins many generations ago. It begins with the telling of the legend of the Healer - He who has been known by many names and experienced by many peoples. Mahnt-Azoma, Tah-co-mah, Kate-Zahl, Wa co-ma-tete, Tah-co-pah, Ee-see-co-tl, Eeasu, Wai-co-mah, Hu-ru-kan, Quetzal-Cotal, Itza-matul, Kul-kul, Deganaweda. There are so many names by which this mysterious entity, including Knichi ta-Kanichi wa, was called by the many people he met as he traveled the Turtle. Translated into English, we are faced with varying interpretations... Lord of the Wind, the Pale Prophet, the Healer, the Lord of Water and Wind, the silver light that falls from heaven. They go on ...”
http://www.wolflodge.org/sananda/great-ghostdance.htm
“The Dakota called him Waicomah Tete.. meaning the lord of the wind and water. Again we here his name amongst the Ojebiwa where he is known as Wis ah Co. Lord of the wind.”
http://www.stargatefiles.com/equation.htm
“The Sioux have been given the promise of the White Buffalo Calf Woman. She made this promise to us long ago, before the white men from the land across the waters came back to our land. There was one who came before these men. Wa Coma Tete , The Lord of the Wind we called him. He told us of the coming of these others, and the path of blood they would leave behind them. He warned us that we would become like dust in the wind, and many would even forget their own language as well as our ways. Then in the time of the Seventh Generation we would begin to see the signs that the New World was birthing. There would be much confusion in those days, and the hope of all people not only the Indian people would be like the dying flame of the camp fire, almost about to go out. Just a small flicker of hope would remain in those dark days., as the Great Dying that the Old ones foretold us about was upon the land. Everything would seem to be dying, the grasses, the standing people, the animals, the waters, it would be as if the Earth herself was dying.”
http://www.wolflodge.org/wolflodge/voices/wbcwmn.htm
“Throughout various historical documents surviving the era of conquest, this Pale Prophet, Emperor-god, Quetzalcoatl, has been called St. Thomas or ‘Toum’ in the Elder language of the Itza Maya, the Nahuatl. In the overlapping of languages, where most Mayan and Inca translations of their ancient text are in Spanish, or Latin, as well in the ancient texts, He is often referred to as being Jesus the Christ himself, or the Pale Prophet, the Lord of the Wind and Water.”
http://www.wolflodge.org/sananda/chilam-1/way_of_the_jaguar.htm
“Our memories of the Prophet are dimmed by the ages. Among the Choctah, He was known as Eemeshee, the Wind God, for strange are the tales which are told of His power over the heavens, and the winds which speak with the breath of the spirits.”
"It is said that He told us of White Man's coming, and when He did His eyes had a sad look as if seeing about Him the scenes of the future. Once He said: 'All my life have I struggled against this thing called the Law of the Jungle. Are these bearded ones who are still my children going down war's trail to final destruction, and thus give the last human victory in death to the Law of the Jungle?'
"He was sad that day as He spoke unto us, for He was leaving us to travel northward; perhaps to you, the Chippewa Nation, for this was before our migrations when we, too, lived far to the southward where the sun makes shorter shadows....We would find out much more about Him if like this we had many councils tribe to tribe. We would learn more about ourselves also. This I know: we, too, once had had secret languages, but I know not if they are still remembered. The women had a secret language among themselves. It was not taught to captive women. Then there was the language taught in certain lodges. That was the one He taught us. It would be interesting to study this language if this were possible, between tribe and tribe. It might tell us from whence He came to us, and how long ago He walked among us.”
"In our land of Oklahoma where our plows turn the good earth, and our cattle graze on the brown hills, I have often seen His symbol among the women's work (who still weave baskets) as I ride to other camps trading. Sometimes it is woven with the Star of the Morning, or the Cross of Four Directions or the symbol for the Cedar, sacred Tree of Ceremony.”
http://www.geocities.com/willow1d/amer2.html
“After this, He continued on His way to the Zuni. But before this, He stayed with the Dene. Now at this time, these were not the tribes as they are known today for this was just after they had traveled to this area, yet unsettled in themselves. According to this legend, they were a part of the Serpent people and had met up with the Prophet in the red lands of Monument Valley. They were very skeptical of Him and His reputation that was rumored. They questioned Him as to what right did He have as to claim the title of "Lord of Wind and Water" and asked Him if His and His Father's power was actually greater than that of the Fire God.”
http://www.geocities.com/willow1d/amer3.html
Some of the quoted material comes to us from people who “quoted” Native Americans “out of context” to make their point, but the useful information is still there. The “Lord of the Wind” is opposed to the “Fire God,” which can easily be understood to be the element of destruction forces that the “Lord of the Wind” will protect Native Americans and the rest of humanity from. If you further research the “Lord of the Wind” by his various names, you will also find out that earthquakes, volcanoes, tidal waves, and the sun are all involved in the elements of destruction, known as “Purification Day.” You will also find out that he is elemental in returning the continents of the Americas to their original inhabitants. Virtually ALL Native American prophecies surrounding any of those attributes include that common theme.
Who is the “Lord of the Wind,” and why would he be known by that title? To understand that; simply consider what “wind” is. It’s moving air. Is it possible for anyone to control the wind? That’s not likely at all, because the wind is generated by temperature differentials between the land and sea, which are not influenced by the will of anyone. So we have to look elsewhere to understand why he would be referred to by that title. Why would “moving air” be relevant or important? If you think about what’s going to happen during the days of destruction with volcanoes erupting all around the world, and fires that will burn most of the surface of the planet, then you might see that an air supply is going to be necessary for your survival during that time.
The “Lord of the Wind” will be able to supply a source of fresh air for those who have the ability to figure that out. All others will fall by the wayside, or be “purified” from the face of the earth during the destructive events predicted. They simply won’t be able to breathe then.

Crazy Horse Not So Crazy
Crazy Horse (Lakota: Thašųka Witko, literally "His-Horse-is-Crazy")
“Crazy Horse's vision foretold the darkness that descended on his people. He saw the coming of automobiles and airplanes and the tragic world wars of the modern era. He saw his people gradually awakening after the last war and beginning to dance again under the Sacred Tree. Then amazingly he saw that dancing along with his people were representatives of all races who had become brothers. Thus he foresaw that the world would be made whole again, not just by his own nation but by all peoples working together.” - Bette Stockbauer

The Teton Sioux Chief Crazy Horse had a final vision in which "He saw his people being driven into spiritual darkness and poverty while the white people prospered in a material way all around them. But even in the darkest times, he saw that the eyes of a few of his people kept the light of dawn and the wisdom of the earth, which they passed on to some of their grandchildren. He saw the coming of automobiles and airplanes, and twice he saw the great darkness and heard the screams and explosions when millions of people died in two great world wars.
"But he saw, after the second great war passed, a time come when his people began to awaken, not all at once, but a few here and there, and then more and more, and he saw that they were dancing in a beautiful light of the Spirit World under the Sacred Tree even while still on Earth. Then he was amazed to see that dancing under the tree were representatives of all races who had become brothers, and he realized that the world would be made new again and in peace and harmony not just by his people, but by members of all races of mankind." - Vinson Brown, Voices of Earth and Sky; 1974, Harrisburg, PA

Crazy Horse had a vision he shared with sitting bull during a pipe ceremony just days before he was murdered. He said, "Upon suffering beyond suffering, the red nation shall rise again and it shall be a blessing for the sick world. A world filed with broken promises, selfishness and separations. A world longing for light again. I see a time of seven generations, when all the colors of mankind will gather under the sacred tree of life and the whole earth will become one circle again. In that day, those among the Lakota who will carry knowledge and understanding of unity among all living things, and the young white ones will come, to those of my people to ask for wisdom. I salute the light within their eyes where the whole universe dwells, for when you are at the center within you and I am at the at place within me, we are as one." - Crazy Horse from James Medicine Tree
http://www.heyokamagazine.com/HEYOKA.6.PIPE.JimMedicineTree.htm
“I see a time of seven generations, when all the colors of mankind will gather under the sacred tree of life and the whole earth will become one circle again.”
He died in 1877. If we use 18 years as the number to represent one generation, we can conclude that Crazy Horse named the year 2003 as the year that people would gather. We all know what happened that year. With the help of Crazy Horse’s prophecy, maybe more people will realize that is the year the “last war” began.

Sun of God Prophecy
Among the greatest mysteries found on the American Continents are petroglyphs of the sun. The sun is depicted in ancient rock art with lines emanating from a circular object, which clearly represents the sun, complete with solar flares. The mystery is about how the ancient people of the Americas knew about solar flares. You can’t detect solar flares or coronal mass ejections with the naked eye. “Modern man” didn’t know solar flares until 1859, so how did ancient people of the Americas know about them? Why did they include solar flares in their depictions of the sun in their petroglyphs?
The sun shows up in ancient prophecies of various Native Americans, handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. The following is part of an Incan prophecy, delivered in 1990.
“For the past five centuries they preserved their sacred knowledge, and finally, in recent years, the signs were fulfilled that the great time of change was at hand: the high mountain lagoons have dried, the condor is nearly extinct and the discovery of the Golden Temple has occurred, following the earthquake in 1949 which represented the wrath of the sun.”
“The prophecies are optimistic. They refer to the end of time as we know it -- the death of a way of thinking and a way of being, the end of a way of relating to nature and to the earth. In the coming years, the Incas expect us to emerge into a golden age, a golden millennium of peace.”
“The prophecies also speak of tumultuous changes happening in the earth, and in our psyche, redefining our relationships and spirituality. The next pachacuti, or great change, has already begun, and it promises the emergence of a new human after this period of turmoil. The chaos and upheaval characteristic of this period will last another four years, according to the Q'ero.”
“The paradigm of European civilization will continue to collapse, and the way of the Earth people will return. Even more importantly, the shamanic elders speak about a tear in the fabric of time itself.” - Peruvian Spiritual Messenger Willaru
It would be lovely if we could just go around singing “It’s the dawning of the age of Aquarius, the age of Aquarius,” and simply wait for the changes to take place. But it’s not like that. Those who make it through the changes will indeed be a “new order of humanity,” but there will be a price to pay. That’s because the prophecies tell us about things like earthquakes, famine, disease, and wars. Walking around with good intentions and singing won’t get you through the period described. Food, water, shelter, an air supply, and separation from idiots will be required for your survival. According to the prophecy just quoted, four years worth of upheavals is what is expected. It’s going to be difficult to grow food and breath during that period of time.
The Inca also indicate that they know something else about the upheavals that they predicted. They relate earthquakes to the “wrath of the sun.” Modern scientists don’t even know about that yet, even though they currently have the data available to make the analogy. It’s known that the two major quakes of 2004 and 2005 were preceded by coronal mass ejections, and it is also known that the coronal mass ejection of 1859 was followed by a string of earthquakes, some of them major. Yet they haven’t made the connection yet. The connection is made in the prophecies of the Old Testament as well, and everyone who uses the Bible as the basis of their religion also ignores them. For example, the Christian leaders say that this line is talking about how bright the church will shine: “Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.” – Isaiah 30:26 KJV
That line is clearly talking about the sun’s brightness, and is relating it to the time when people are healed of their ignorance. Christian leaders relate it to the church because the sun didn’t get brighter when Jesus came, so they had to make up something to account for it. We have known since 1859 that massive solar flares cause the sun to get brighter, and we also know that coronal mass ejections from the sun are capable of destroying electrical devices on earth, including the generators that fee those electrical devices. When that line in Isaiah happens, we are going to see a world wide black out, followed by earthquakes and volcanic activity that is not currently imaginable. It’s supposed to get so bad that the sun will be darkened, and we won’t be able to see the moon. “For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.” Isaiah 13:10 KJV
The only thing that could cause us to not see the stars would be smoke. That smoke is also going to make it quite difficult to breath, unless you have your own private source of oxygen. If the Inca are correct, you are going to need a four-year supply of oxygen, food, and water to get you through the destruction. Since the Inca were informed enough to know about the sun’s influence on the earth, it’s a safe bet that are also correct about the length of time as well. The also knew about something else that we should be aware of. They mentioned that there would be a tear in the fabric of time. That is not hard to figure out either, if you understand that time is related to our orbit around the sun. It stands to reason that if the earth is hit by a massive amount of energy from the sun, that our orbit might be altered a bit. If that happens, then we will indeed witness a “tear in the fabric of time,” which also explains the Biblical prophecy of the “end of years.” If our orbit changes, then our calendars will have to reflect that change. It will be the “end of time” to us, because we will have to develop a new calendar.
The Mayans also knew about the sun’s relationship to the end of this era, as shown in this excerpt. “When the original thirteen baktuns were created, a war was waged which caused the country to cease to exist. Little by little, however, our enemies came to hear the prophesies of Ahau; but finally even the hope of hearing Ahau is brought to an end, because of the words of opposition. When the need arises for the high authority at the head of the mat to safeguard our children, then we will feel deeply the tragedy of being captives in war; also when we are ordered to obey...And when over the dark sea I shall be lifted by a chalice of fire, to that generation there will come the day of withered fruit...The face of the sun will be extinguished because of the great tempest. Then finally ornaments shall descend in heaps. There will be good gifts for one and all, as well as land, from the Great Spirit wherever shall come sailing, figuratively speaking, bringing the ornaments of which I have spoken, from your ancestors. Then the god will come to visit his little ones.” - The Book of Chilam Balam of Tizimin
Quite a lot of people will die because of their arrogance, when the these prophecies materialize. Christians will get their wish, and end up in Heaven, only they won’t realize it because they will no longer have a brain to think with. That’s because we think with our physical brain, and physical bodies don’t go to Heaven. The belief that they do was made up by the early Christian leaders and is not supported by any writing found in the book that they base their religion on. Nor is that belief supported by any kind of rational reasoning. It’s a made up lie that will prevent a lot of people from preparing for the events that are predicted to happen. Instead of preparing for their own survival, they will instead wait for a miraculous being that will never show up, which is another made up belief.
Another large group of people who will die during that time are the Jewish people, who will try to hold fast to their belief that they are the “Chosen Ones,” who will be protected by God. Their belief is based on their arrogance as well. Like their younger siblings, the Christians, they will do nothing to prepare for their own survival because of their belief that they are somehow superior to the rest of humanity. They really believe that God will protect them because of their superiority.
Yet another group that will surely die are the New Age religions that promote prayer as a fix all for everything. Instead of preparing for their survival, they are trying to make our problems go away with their unified prayer. It’s their belief that if enough people gang up on God with their prayers that God will decide not to destroy life on earth. What they don’t realize is that God isn’t going to destroy earth. God is merely warning us that natural disasters are going to make it extremely difficult to survive on earth for a little while.
Muslims that think Allah somehow protects them are in the same boat as the three groups just mentioned. They are actually in more trouble, because their prophet didn’t mention anything about living through a time of destruction. They have convinced their selves that there is another world that they get to go live in, much like Christians view of Heaven. It’s their arrogance that will bring about their own demise as well. Like Christians, Jews, and New Agers, they believe that they are the “right religion,” and should therefore be protected from harm by God.
The thing that they all are missing is that God is protecting us by telling us what to expect. The rest is up to us. If we are so stupid that we refuse to do anything for ourselves, then we will eliminate our genes from the future generations of people that will inhabit our planet. You can look at it as stupidity eliminating itself from the midst of humanity.
You can research the prophecies of the world that speak of the “end of time,” and you will begin to realize that all of the prophecies mention the same things. You can gain insight about the “signs of the time,” regarding when to expect the associated destruction. Quite a lot of people who have done so realize that we are rapidly approaching the said time. What you won’t find in any of the prophecies are the details for your survival. Instead, you will find descriptions of what you can expect, and as pointed out in this explanation, one of the things you will uncover includes an extended period of life without light. Even if you are intelligent enough to provide a shelter stocked with food and water that will sustain you for a few years, you won’t have a chance of survival because of the smoke and dust that will be in the air as a result of fires and volcanic eruptions. Your only real hope of survival will be to find a source of oxygen that will sustain itself, and then isolate yourself from the elements and from people that didn’t prepare for their own survival.

Atlantis Again?
“The Legend of the Keetoowah, as recalled in 1930 by Levi B. Gritts, a prominent member of the traditionalist Keetoowah Society, places them on islands in the Atlantic Ocean east of South America. Anthropologists have discovered that Cherokee basket and pottery styles resemble those of South American and Caribbean tribes, differing from other tribes of the southeast U.S.”
“Seventy tribes attacked them but, by the guidance of God, they were victorious. The last warrior of their attackers, Ner-du-er-gi, was on top of a mountain overlooking their camp in the deep valley below. This warrior saw a smoke arising from the camp which "extended up beyond Heaven". The smoke was divided into three parts and in that there was an eagle holding arrows. When the warrior and his followers saw this, he ordered them not to attack the Indians for they were God's people and powerful and if they attacked they would be destroyed.”
“When God created these people he gave them great, mysterious power to be used for the best interests of the people. They lived in large cities with tall buildings. Some wise men began to use their power different than was intended which troubled the people. God instructed them to take their white fire and move away from that place. Some went to Asia, some to India, and others to North America leaving the wise men behind. After they had gone to other countries, these large cities were destroyed when the ground sank and are now under the ocean. God turned to the people that came to America and gave them wisdom and guided them.” - Ken Martin, Tsalagi historian, tribal member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma
“The following legend of the KEETOOWAH people, which dates back to the beginning of time, has been passed orally by each generation. Upon the creation of the KEETOOWAH people, the Creator gave them mysterious powers and placed them in large settlement on an island located in the Atlantic Ocean. There were other tribes on the island which attacked the KEETOOWAH people, and the KEETOOWAHS were victorious. Another tribe watched the fierce fighting from a mountain top. The leader of the tribe watched the valley ascend toward the Heaven. The smoke divided into three paths midway in the ascension an eagle was seen holding three arrows in its claws. The leader asked his warriors if the smoke and eagle were visible to them and they replied they were. The tribal leader then told his warriors not to attack the KEETOOWAH people because they were the Creators people and they were very powerful. The tribe came down from the mountain and made friends with the KEETOOWAH people. In later years, some of the medicine men of the tribe became selfish and used their powers to harm their own people. The Creator gave the powers to the medicine men to be used in the best interest of all the people. Other tribal members prayed to the Creator for direction and the Creator heard their prayers. The instruction was to move their fire away from the island and the medicine men. After the departure, the island sank into the ocean.” - Chief John Ross, 1790-1866, Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation 1828-1866
“There was heard a great noise above their heads, as if produced by fire. Then were men seen running, pushing each other, filled with despair; they wished to climb upon their houses, and the houses, tumbling down, fell to the ground; they wished to climb upon the trees, and the trees shook them off; they wished to enter into the grottoes (eaves), and the grottoes closed themselves before them. . . Water and fire contributed to the universal ruin at the time of the last great cataclysm which preceded the fourth creation." - The Mayan "Popol Vuh"
“Let me begin by observing first of all, that nine thousand was the sum of years which had elapsed since the war which was said to have taken place between those who dwelt outside the Pillars of Heracles and all who dwelt within them; this war I am going to describe. Of the combatants on the one side, the city of Athens was reported to have been the leader and to have fought out the war; the combatants on the other side were commanded by the kings of Atlantis, which, as was saying, was an island greater in extent than Libya and Asia, and when afterwards sunk by an earthquake, became an impassable barrier of mud to voyagers sailing from hence to any part of the ocean. The
progress of the history will unfold the various nations of barbarians and families of Hellenes which then existed, as they successively appear on the scene; but I must describe first of all Athenians of that day, and their enemies who fought with them, and then the respective powers and governments of the two kingdoms. Let us give the precedence to Athens.” – CRITIAS by Plato, 360 BC
translated by Benjamin Jowett, New York, C. Scribner's Sons, [1871]
“Many great and wonderful deeds are recorded of your state in our histories. But one of them exceeds all the rest in greatness and valour. For these histories tell of a mighty power which unprovoked made an expedition against the whole of Europe and Asia, and to which your city put an end. This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean, for in those days the Atlantic was navigable; and there was an island situated in front of the straits which are by you called the Pillars of Heracles; the island was larger than Libya and Asia put together, and was the way to other islands, and from these you might pass to the whole of the opposite continent which surrounded the true ocean; for this sea which is within the Straits of Heracles is only a harbour, having a narrow entrance, but that other is a real sea, and the surrounding land may be most truly called a boundless continent. Now in this island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which had rule over the whole island and several others, and over parts of the continent, and, furthermore, the men of Atlantis had subjected the parts of Libya within the columns of Heracles as far as Egypt, and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia. This vast power, gathered into one, endeavoured to subdue at a blow our country and yours and the whole of the region within the straits; and then, Solon, your country shone forth, in the excellence of her virtue and strength, among all mankind. She was pre-eminent in courage and military skill, and was the leader of the Hellenes. And when the rest fell off from her, being compelled to stand alone, after having undergone the very extremity of danger, she defeated and triumphed over the invaders, and preserved from slavery those who were not yet subjugated, and generously liberated all the rest of us who dwell within the pillars. But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea. For which reason the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island.” – TIMAEUS by Plato, 360 BC
translated by Benjamin Jowett, New York, C. Scribner's Sons, [1871]
“Not knowing what to do, the people stopped paddling, opened the doors on top of their heads, and let themselves be guided. Almost immediately the water smoothed out, and they felt their rafts caught up in a gentle current. Before long they landed and joyfully jumped out upon a sandy shore. "The Fourth World!" they cried. "We have reached our place of emergence at last!"
“Soon all the others arrived and when they were gathered together, Sótuknang appeared before them. "Well, I see you are all here. This is good. This is the place I have prepared for you. Look now at the way you have come."
“Looking to the west and south, the people could see sticking out of the water the islands upon which they had rested.”
"They are the footprints of your journey," continued Sótuknang, "the tops of the high mountains of the Third World, which I destroyed. Now watch."
“As the people watched them, the closest one sank under the water, then the next, until all were gone, and they could see only water.”
"See," said Sótuknang, "I have washed away even the footprints of your emergence, the stepping-stones which I left for you. Down on the bottom of the sea lie all the proud cities, the flying pátuwvotas, and the worldly treasures corrupted with evil, and those people who found no time to sing praises to the Creator from the tops of their hills. But the day will come, if you preserve the memory and meaning of your emergence, when these stepping stones will emerge again to prove the truth you speak." – A Hopi Legend
Those are all stories of a major destructive event that happened so long ago that few people believe the stories as real. This story isn’t about whether or not it really happened. Who knows if it really happened? As the Hopi legend says, all evidence of it got buried at sea. The Old Testament speaks of a similar event, which we commonly call Noah’s Flood. There is no evidence of it either. Those stories do support the legend of some culture that was totally destroyed by the sea. We know for sure that the oceans of our world were substantially lower than they currently are.
Quite a lot of water was stored in glaciers around the world during the last great ice age. It’s hard to imagine an entire continent getting swallowed up by the ocean, but it could have happened. In fact, according to the legends, it happened in both the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans.

Quite a lot of water was stored in glaciers around the world during the last great ice age. It’s hard to imagine an entire continent getting swallowed up by the ocean, but it could have happened. In fact, according to the legends, it happened in both the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans.
This is a chart of the earth’s average temperature, and snow accumulation for the last 20 thousand years. Scientists who were studying an ice core from the Greenland glacier determined it. It clearly shows us that Plato’s date of 11,500 years ago for the rising of the sea levels was very close to reality. A similar event occurred 3,000 years before that. Both events happened in a matter of a few years. The “sinking event” can easily be explained by looking at the “Snow Accumulation,” which is also an indication of the amount of rain that fell during the last major warming period. It rained like crazy, as described in the story of Noah. That and the melting glaciers brought the ocean levels up quite rapidly, as the next graph shows.
“Compilation of Vostok and EPICA Dome C CO2 concentrations (Petit et al., 1999; Siegenthaler et al., 2005) and δD as a proxy for local air temperature (Petit et al., 1999; EPICA community members 2004) and the changes in global sea level relative to the present level (Bintanja et al., 2005). To a first approximation, sea level changes reflect the volume of ocean water bound in continental ice sheets during the ice ages. CO2 minima were reached approximately when the sea level was at a minimum, hence, the extent of the continental ice sheets were at a maximum. Vice versa, highest CO2 levels were found during interglacials during the high stands of the sea level. The evolution of the local temperature (as deduced from δD) follows this overall picture and points to a strong coupling of the climate and the carbon cycle.” - The Alfred Wegener Institute
That chart shows that the ocean levels around the world began to rise quite dramatically at the end of the last ice age. The earth had been quite a bit cooler, and for some reason, it warmed rather quickly, melting most of the glaciers around the world. The next chart shows what causes the warming.

The bottom graph shows the dust that was in the air, the middle graph shows the CO2 that was present, and the top graph shows the temperature. You can easily see that dust and CO2 go hand in hand to create the warm climates. At some “critical temperature,” something happens, and the temperature of our planet plummets. Our scientific community is still debating what that “something” is. They know that it has to do with the ocean currents, which are caused by the heat of the tropics and the cold of the poles. They also know that as we lose the Arctic ice cover, that we lose a giant solar reflector. When we lose that “reflector,” we also lose the ocean currents, because the Arctic Ocean absorbs more heat from the sun. The result is that that the oceans basically die.

There’s a common expression that people like to use when you mention anything to do with destruction that might happen. “It won’t happen in my life time.” The reason for that expression is also shown in those graphs. Our planet has enjoyed quite a long period of paradise. Our environment has been quite stable since the last warming period. You can see in that chart what just a little dip in the average temperature of our planet causes. We call it the “Little Ice Age.” You can also see that our planet’s temperature is quite capable of dropping a lot more than it did then. Something else you can see is why there is a “promise from God” that the world wouldn’t be destroyed again by water. That’s an easy promise to make, because it happens when most of the water of the oceans is locked up in ice.
Just last week, a team of scientists announced that the Arctic Ice will be gone during the summer months by the year 2012. We can easily predict then, that those who think “it won’t happen in my life time” are either going to die in the next five years, or they are simply wrong.
"The Arctic is screaming," said Mark Serreze, senior scientist at the government's snow and ice data center in Boulder, Colo.
"At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions." - Jay Zwally, NASA climate scientist
"The Arctic is often cited as the canary in the coal mine for climate warming," said Zwally, who as a teenager hauled coal. "Now as a sign of climate warming, the canary has died. It is time to start getting out of the coal mines."
What do you think will happen if the temperature of our planet plummets? For one thing, our crops are going to begin to fail. The poor will be hit the hardest, initially.
“When all food disappears, modern man will try to correct his mistake, the conditions he caused upon the earth through his inventions. He will try to achieve some kind of method to heal the wound, but this will not be possible when we reach the point of no return.” – Chief Dan Evehema, The Hopi Survival Kit
“For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.” Isaiah 15:6 KJV
“Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.” – Isaiah 50:2 KJV
The year 2012 is not a predicted year for the “end of the world.” There is no such thing as the end of the world. As you can see from the graphs presented, this has happened before, and we can’t blame humanity for the past occurrences. We know for certain that humanity is the culprit this time, and we also know that we are too late to prevent a drastic climate change from taking place. It’s just a matter of time.
This is also not a complete picture of the events ahead of humanity. It is merely one aspect of things to come.
One more thing might be of interest. Now that you know that the oceans were 125 meters lower than they currently are, you might be interested in this topographical map of the Atlantic Ocean. It shows a very likely location for the “Lost Continent of Atlantis;” only it wasn’t a “continent,” it was a series of islands, just like Plato said it was. Look at the depth of the “Azores Plateau.” According to this map, the Atlantic Ocean is a mere 200 meters deep there. It doesn’t take a scientist to figure out where Atlantis was.
Here is another picture of the Azores Plateau. The Dark Orange areas would have been above sea level 12,000 years ago. You can clearly see the inland seas that Plato described. It looks like the only thing he was wrong about was the size of Atlantis.

- Writing control code for automated machinery is my primary method of providing a life for myself. My primary interest isn’t in my professional job though, it is in writing about what I have learned when I applied a simple programming procedure to understanding the Bible. Writing “subroutines,” is a way to store code outside of the main program, or “book,” as you would do it if you applied the procedure to writing a novel, or prophecy.
