About the Author
I won’t talk much about myself here as the messenger is not important, only the message. But for those who are interested, here is a brief biography.
I live on the east coast of Australia, between Sydney and Brisbane, with my wife and our young daughter. I have an Honours degree in computer science and have been involved in website and web application development for most of my career, which is now over 25 years. I also have a Masters degree by research and have published in both conference proceedings and academic journals.
My faith in God was sown at a young age and it has never left me. I have always had a particular interest in prophecy and eschatology (study of the end times) and was among those waiting for the rapture to occur in 1988! Although it didn’t happen then, I continued to believe in a pre-tribulation “imminent” rapture for another two decades—until I started to seriously research this topic for myself. Since then, my views have diverged significantly from others in the field.
Despite having been a believer for over 30 years it was not until the middle of 2016 that the Holy Spirit started to open my eyes and reveal details and patterns in the Bible that I had not been aware of before. It was almost as if overnight I went from reading the Bible in black and white to reading it in full and vibrant colour.
I do not have the benefit of a formal Biblical education, and while I do acknowledge that there are some positives to having one, it also comes with the enormous downside of instilling in you other people’s beliefs — beliefs which are not necessarily correct but which can be extremely difficult to cast off. I believe my background makes me ideally suited to this task as I do challenge many traditional interpretations, something that would have been difficult had I had formal Bible training.
I believe that Jesus was God manifested in flesh and that only by following in His footsteps can we be saved. That means, walking in love towards one another. I believe He will soon be returning for His faithful bride. I believe the scriptures are the inspired word of God and that all other sources of information must defer to them. As such, I focus almost exclusively on what the Bible teaches and only refer to non-Biblical sources occasionally. God’s word is light, but if we allow ourselves to be lured away from that light we risk becoming hopelessly lost in the surrounding darkness.
All the signs indicate that the end of this present age of grace is quickly approaching, and when it ends the marvellous gift of salvation we have been offered will no longer be available. Before that happens, there is going to be a great delusion and a massive falling away from the faith, but there is also going to be a great harvest. I furthermore believe that that time has come, and is now almost over.
