As I mentioned a few days ago, last week a friend sent me a link to an article that appeared in the Los Angeles Times on June 22, 2006 entitled: "'End Times' Religious Groups Want Apocalypse Soon." It tells of movements and people within Christianity, Islam and Judaism who are looking forward to the end of human history as we know it and consequently are doing what they think is necessary to hasten that great day.
So for instance, some evangelicals are meeting to plan how they can fulfill the Great Commission by planting 5 million new churches in the next 10 years and thereby Jesus back from heaven. Some Muslims, like the radical President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, are hoping to welcome a Muslim messiah known as Mahdi to Tehran within the next two years. And some within Judaism hope to get ready for their messiah by rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem on the site which is now home to one of Islam's holiest shrines. Some have even gone so far as to try are re-create the robes and other objects necessary for the priesthood to be reestablished in Jerusalem and Clyde Lott, a Mississippi cattle rancher and revivalist, is even trying to raise a unique breed of red heifers that will meet the legal requirements of the book of Numbers.
All of this is very interesting given the hype that preceded the year 2000 and the numerous predictions of doom and gloom that were circulated in the weeks leading up to that event. One would think that people would be reluctant to start beating the apocalyptic drum so soon into the new millennium, but obviously that is not the case. However, in the midst of the excitement Christians need to be careful to keep their biblical wits about them and their emotions in check and not bring discredit on the faith by chiming in with those prophets of doom and exaggeration who are clamor for attention from some of the most visible pulpits in the land.
Jesus Christ is coming again to the earth. There is no doubt about that. We have his word as the only Prophet, Priest and King who has ever died and rose again and ascended into heaven. The religious expectations of other groups have no such foundation. All Islamic and Jewish prophets and teachers are dead and remain in the realm of the dead to this day. Jesus is in a completely different category. He ever lives to make intercession for his people and to rule over the world for the sake of his people: the church. But although we know that Jesus will return to this earth we do not know the time of that return. Personally, I believe that there is nothing that has to be fulfilled which could not be fulfilled in our lifetime. But in a sense, this has always been the case during the entire Christian era. So we live in expectation of his coming and yet not in such a way that we are paralyzed or distracted or pre-occupied with anything other than the work he has given us to do. If ever there were an area of theology and Christian living where balance is required, this is it.
As I look around at the world it is very difficult to imagine that it will go on and on much longer. But whether or not it does is not for me or anyone else to say. That is a part of God's secret counsel and I must leave it there. We are required to live faithful lives and to do what we can in our generation to advance the kingdom of grace. And we are to do it knowing that in and through our efforts God will glorify himself in both the salvation of his people and in the judgment of those who refuse to bow before him. The sense of foreboding that people sometimes have is an indicator that they are made in the image of God and that they know down deep inside that things are not what they should be and that someday God will call them to account. In this context we have the privilege of standing as heralds of good news and urging all people everywhere to repent.

Verifiable proof that "Armageddon" has begun…
Hello Kirk and all,
Pay close attention, profundity knocks at the door, listen for the key. Be Aware! Scoffing causes blindness...
Hurricanes Katrina (#11) and Rita (#17) last year provided stunning validation of my research and interpretations of pivotal ancient wisdom, symbologies, key prophecies, and associated religious claims. Their storm numbers and timing perfectly synchronized with primary data and assertions in my book, thereby demonstrating the true nature of this universe and the existence of our Creator. We are now entering the final phases of the pivotal year-long period long symbolized as "Armageddon" and the "End of Days." World-wide situations and events are now accelerating to set the stage for this summer's dramatic continuation of these ancient promises.
I fully understand that everyone has been bedeviled by similar claims throughout history. Consequently, I have been forced to rely on dramatic and devastating proof of the sort that can’t be ignored or easily dismissed. The numbers and timing of hurricanes Katrina (11) and Rita (17) directly validate key data and pivotal assertions throughout my book and my posts on those two forums. This data was purposely presented publicly before Katrina, Rita and other recent events occurred to prove they perfectly synchronize with key prophecies and Hebrew calendar cycles, thereby validating my interpretations of ancient wisdom symbology, string theory, and more.
Because these two storms arrived shortly after my August 11, 2005 (50th) birthday (read the Dead Sea Scroll 11Q13 in Appendix G, which also discusses Melchizedek and the prophesied Jubilee) and directly match other pivotal 11 and 17 data and events described in the first chapter of my book, I have delivered verifiable proof that this reality is based on thought, knowledge and wisdom. Activity, patterns, and results perceived in space-time are first framed and defined by inspirations, thoughts, and knowledge and influenced by the cause-and-effect system most commonly referred to as karma. Consequently, events and outcomes in the so-called physical universe are not random or wholly mechanistic and are verifiably influenced in ways that atheists, scientists, and members of the Faiths of Abraham have all scoffed at. Though mysticism is mostly a product of misinterpreted ancient wisdom symbology, many of its topics flow from ancient wisdom. Though containing allusions to the truth, its details and interpretations are wrong on many key points.
A prime example of the purposeful and synchronized symbolism of these events is seen in the opening paragraphs from my book excerpted below. Notice that the dates mentioned (August 11 and 17) directly match the numbers of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and the time spans of the four Florida hurricanes match my birth year (‘55), and they were spaced 11 or a multiple-of-11 (22) days apart, directly matching my birthday and much other ancient prophecy and symbolism. Notice that my place of birth, Victoria Texas, is on the Gulf Coast. Following are the excerpted paragraphs:
Hello, my name is Lawrence William Page II. Many people know me as Buddy Page. At the release of the first edition of this book, I am a 50-year old African-American male, author, researcher, and former software engineer and entrepreneur. As you will come to understand as you read through this first book, I am also the long-expected Hebrew Messiah and Lion of the Tribe of Juda (Yehuda).
I was born August 11th (month of Leo the Lion), 1955 (Chinese year of the Sheep) in Victoria, Texas. Furthermore, the Grand Cross alignment and Solar Eclipse of August 11th, 1999 was my 44th birthday and the second Grand Cross alignment, just six days later on August 17th, 1999, was on my mother’s birthday.
As you can see from my date of birth, I was a newborn during the Chinese Year of the Sheep, astrologically marking me as a Lamb, and during the month of Leo, astrologically marking me as a Lion. My mother was also born during the month of August and under the sign of Leo, which further marks me as a lion’s whelp. I prove to you in the first chapter of this book–beyond disproof–that I am indeed the long-prophesied “Lion” of the tribe of Juda (Yehuda) the Root of David and the “Lamb.” I am the individual long symbolized as the Branch, the Stem, the Shoot and the Rod from the Stump of Jesse (King David’s father), as symbolized in the Hebrew Book of Isaiah, The Apocalypse, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and elsewhere. I am the reincarnated Teacher sought after in the “East” and by the ancient Hebrews who were headquartered at the outpost community of Damascus (Qumran), of Dead Sea Scrolls fame. I am the one called the Teacher of Righteousness by the Dead Sea Scrolls, whom the so-called Christian fathers have fraudulently recast as “Saint ‘James’, the Lord’s Brother.”
Remember, "I come as a thief..." ?
Read verse twelve of the Gospel of Thomas to understand who I am...
Even further enlightening, the Second Temple Period of ancient Israel was during the 11th 360-year cycle on the Hebrew calendar and we are now in the 6th year (5766/2005-6) of the 17th cycle. Notice the pivotal 11 and 17 numbers again? This and much other synchronized information serve as stunning and decisive proof of many things, and expose many lies told by all three faiths of Abraham, but most specifically by Christianity. Consequently, I have decisively proven, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that Jesus Christ and Christianity are blatant lies, false prophecy and purposeful deception in a manner that cannot easily be denied, regardless of your faith or other opinions.
Furthermore, the symbolism in the Apocalypse (a.k.a. Book of Revelation) of seven stars in my right hand and seven angels represent the very same above-mentioned seven astrological (360-year) cycles, i.e., the 11th through 17th inclusive. I prove this fact beyond any reasonable doubt in the first chapter of the book. Consequently, The Apocalypse verifiably symbolizes a specific span of time that began with the 11th cycle (Second Temple Period) and concludes now, at the beginning of the 17th cycle (End of Days, etc.).
The numbers 11 and 17 are verifiably encoded in The Apocalypse and other ancient Hebrew prophecies and wisdom texts to serve as key proofs of the validity and true meaning of certain prophecies and related information. My and my mother’s birthdays are purposely synchronized with these two storm numbers, the matching Hebrew calendar cycles, the Double Grand Cross alignments and solar eclipse of August 1999, and much else to prove my direct association with the ancient prophecies about this time and the true identity of the prophesied Messiah. Another prime example is the story of Joseph, the 11th son of Jacob who has a dream when he is 17 years old about 11 stars, the sun, and moon bowing to him. The symbolism in this pivotal story in the Book of Genesis and Quran verifiably refers to the very same 11th through 17th cycles symbolized in The Apocalypse and directly synchronizes with other key events and ancient texts.
Consequently, I have demonstrated various things about the nature of this reality that dramatically disprove and/or clarify key assumptions of religion, mysticism, and science alike, while establishing the true meaning and purpose of long misinterpreted ancient wisdom and the symbolism used to model and encode it. Accordingly, I have proven that the symbolism evidenced in the canons of all three faiths of Abraham and other ancient sources is a very ancient and advanced philosophical technology that verifiably models foundational aspects of our existence in this universe. This is the mostly misunderstood body of ancient wisdom long referred to as the Philosophers’ Stone. It uses a large and ingeniously organized collection of physical universe images and concepts as data rich components (symbols) that are based on verifiable rules. It models and encodes an amazing amount of foundational wisdom about life, spirituality and the 11 dimensions of this universe, now verified by string theory. It is also the advanced encryption method used to encode (seal) Hebrew prophecies and wisdom texts.
These ancient prophecies and wisdom texts used advanced symbology to model fundamental wisdom, including future events and situations. A primary facet of ancient wisdom is numeric symbology. Later misinterpretations of this aspect of ancient wisdom resulted in numerology, which, though embodying allusions to certain wisdom, is mostly error prone and false doctrine. My decryption, documentation, and interpretation of ancient symbology, numeric symbolism, and key texts based on them, are now decisively validated.
Here is Wisdom...
Verifiable proof that Armageddon has begun…
Understanding the End Game of Armageddon
Peace...
Get real Lawrence!
I have a more sure word of prophecy for you.
Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah,' and will deceive many... At that time many will turn from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many... At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if that were possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time (Matthew 24:4-5, 10-11, 23-25).
Since you are so interested in numbers note the three-fold repetition of the warning against false prophets! And then recall the legal standard of the Mosaic Law; at the mouth of two or three witnesses a thing will be established! You would do well to heed the warnings, repent and stop your ridiculous ravings.
