BUT ... I have really been excited about this past Summer in that I have latched on to some great topics and been led to understand some phenomenal teachings. So you may ask ... what are they?
In our beautiful corner of the world ... sunny Sequim on the top of the Olympic Peninsula ... is a haven for people trying to beat the heat, get of the cold, and of course take advantage of our fabulous scenery. One of these people is Avraham Gileadi, one of the top scholars in the world on the subject on the books of Isaiah.
He has been staying the summer with his good friend Roger Moon ... and Roger facilitated a series of lectures to allow Dr. Gileadi to expound on his 15 year research study on Isaiah and his writings.
All I can say ... is WOW! All the stuff that we all have a tendency to ignore due to the difficulty in understanding, was laid open and it was as if a light had been turned on! Not that I understand all or even a large part ... yet. But at least I can grasp the beginnings of a foundation that I can build on.
To make a long story short ... Dr. Gileadi has commissioned me to build his website for his findings to be released and the public to explore. For those interested in checking it out at this point ... still a ways to go, you can see it at my temporary URL that I'm using for development ... www.TomHeintz.com. I am adding things continually and eventually the website will reside at www.IsaiahProphecy.com. So depending on when you read this ... it might already be there!
One of the big eye openers that I learned this summer is that the people of Israel didn't think as we do. We believe in a Lineal History where things happen and continue without reflection on the past ... except that they are the past and don't necessarily have to repeat. In the time of Isaiah, the thought process is that we live in a Cyclical system ... where the past becomes a pattern for the future.
SO the entire books of Isaiah ... and his prophecies deal with OUR TIME. The difference is that the names are changed ... but the predictions remain the same.
For example, Egypt was the Super Power in decline back then ... with the threat of invasion from a combined outside force. Today, it is the USA that is the Super Power in decline ... that will be threatened with an invasion of a combined outside force. This happens after the complete collapse of our economy and society as we know it.The depth of the material that is offered on this new website is astounding. I have purchased materials for my study ... and some of it includes a 30 hour lecture series of commentary.
NOW HOWS THAT FOR COMMITMENT?
Well ... back to work. I am installing some great tidbits he has produced. Get this ... he has 120 Isaiah Nuggets (little commentary excerpts), 600 Isaiah quotes with accompanying images, 9 lessons on the Message of Isaiah, 7 things you didn't know about Isaiah, verse-by-verse commentary, an Interactive Isaiah Translation and Concordance, products and books that he has written, and even produces a Newsletter.
I have my work cut out for me!
Check out the website and watch it as it progresses. One thing that all this talk and reading has stimulated me to remark to all I've seen ... you can NOT count on the financial system to maintain ... safety does not reside in banks, property or GOLD. The one thing that can make the difference that preserve you and your family ...
