Validation and verification of biblical timeliness that converge at a common end. The ages in a nutshell. Excerpt: "From the beginning, when God spoke, light has measured time (Genesis 1:3, 14). Like rays of hope in the darkness, celestial photons count moments like sands through an hourglass. At the same time, spiritual light is shining from God’s Word to reveal his unfolding plan. "
Ancient worldwide conspiracy unmasked in practical terms, with a dose of humor. The fourth angel's message of Revelation 18. Excerpt: "With trembling hands the mastermind nervously rubs his chin, his eyes scanning back and forth as he tries to devise a plan. He and his followers have recently lost everything. Imagine their mournful cries echoing through the formless earth when Satan “was cast out into the earth, and his angels… cast out with him” Revelation 12:9. His loyal followers must have reproached him and each other as their disappointed hopes began to sink in, realizing they had lost heaven and had been deceived to think evil could win over good..."
New revelations about Gabriel, fully supported by scripture. "The Angel of the Lord” is a term for God (Exodus 3:2-6), and also for Gabriel (Luke 1:11, 19). Thus... Gabriel is a member of the godhead. Evidence of this truth is confirmed all throughout nature and the Bible. Daniel’s 70 weeks first fulfilled in Israel, pointing to the incarnation of Jesus. It’s second fulfillment is in America, pointing to the incarnation of Gabriel as a woman, the Bride. Stories of the Shulamite and Esther show how Christ’s bride is made up of many people, as well as one more special among them... who represents Gabriel. Excerpt: "A mysterious woman speaks to us from the pages of history, culture and sacred script. She gazes out through the shadows from behind a veil of obscurity. Glimpses of her are everywhere, and yet… no one knows who she is. "
The secrets of life, love, and eternity are written in the fabric of the universe. The book explains how sexuality is the secret of the universe, hidden in plain sight, and how everything in existence reflects this principle, from the tiniest atoms to the Godhead, Elohim. Excerpt: "'The birds and the bees' is a euphemistic description that has often been used by parents explaining to their children where babies come from. But the fact that nature can provide such a succinct illustration of human origins to the young mind should call us to look deeper into it for more potential clues about our existence....
How biblical times give us a picture of eternity in the earth made new. An exploration of the value and significance of biblical appointed times and their relevance to themes of redemption and prophecy. Excerpt: "When you look at a hologram, you see different images from different angles, a two-dimensional image appears to pop out in 3D. The Bible is actually this way too. A mere surface reading of it may not reveal this amazing phenomenon, but when you begin to compare scripture with scripture and story with story, allowing the Bible to interpret itself, the picture starts to come alive and pop out in 3D right before your eyes. For example, the same Bible passage may have several different applications when considered from different perspectives, as well as different significance to different ages throughout history."
After returning from six years of teaching in Taiwan, I found myself immersed in Southern California’s concrete jungles once more, but only by day. Seeking the outskirts, I lived where civilization met golden foothills. Thus it was in the bosom of nature, surrounded by the scents of dried grass and sage, that I began a journey of scriptural discovery which was to become the Lighten the Earth series. From there, my path took me through Texas and Florida in reconnecting with people and places.
But as the saying goes, not all who wander are lost, and through every bend in the road my fellowship with Christ grew deeper as I continued to study, observe, and write. After twelve years the first book is finished, and the others are following soon after.
Since I began writing, the world has reached a crisis. We are seeing the culmination of Christ’s parable of the wheat field in Matthew 13:24-30. God is preparing to “send workers out into his harvest,” Luke 10:2. It’s for our times the words were spoken, “Thrust in your sickle and reap… for the harvest of the earth is ripe,” Revelation 14:15.
As we stand on the precipice of eternity, it is for those “upon whom the ends of the ages have come” that the Bible’s most significant messages were written (1 Corinthians 10:11). The natural results of corruption will soon show their fruits in full force, as described through Revelation’s symbols. Though many of the figures repeat, this could well be their last fulfillment.
The scroll’s unsealing messages will soon echo throughout the earth as we move toward the climax of the apocalypse. With every bolt of truth, God’s voice will be heard in thunder until the mystery of God is finished (Revelation 10:1-10, Ezekiel 12:1-10, 3:1-3). Those who study the scriptures with a prayerful spirit and right principles will receive the truth for these times, like Excalibur from the stone. In their hands it will become a gleaming sword with which to fight Earth’s final battles, a sickle with which to reap the harvest.
Nautical Allegories of Scripture begins the series by covering faith basics, since the best place to start is with knowing God. I say this because I believe many who don’t yet know him may eventually be among his most indomitable warriors. Yet even in this book we’ll see how obscured mysteries are unfolding and “things hidden from the foundation of the world,” Matthew 13:35.
God isn’t calling just a privileged few, he’s calling people from all walks of life in every culture and background. Even if you thought there wasn’t a God, or that if there were, he wouldn’t choose you…
What if there is, and he would?
The author specializes in presenting biblical themes through practical, relevant, and interesting symbolisms. She's a long-time student of scripture and the natural world.
