In December 2005, a voice inside my head said to pick up the bible. This was a surprise to me, since I've always believed in God, but thought the bible was difficult to read, and frankly, boring. I've tried to read it before, but only really read Revelation with any interest. To my surprise, once I started reading it, starting from the beginning, it began to make sense to me, and was like a good book that I couldn't put down. I got so into it, that I began to go to bible study and began to attend a local church. But a vision that came into me was a vision of a future where all come to the same belief, that God exists and we have the control over our lives. And this didn't coincide with what the church was teaching, which was if your not saved and baptized, God doesn't love you. I started to debate with the pastor, something he didn't like at all. But it was like information that was exploding inside of me, and I couldn't keep it in. Then on Jan 26th, 2006, I had a profound dream. I was given a treasure map, and after finding the treasure, I found a wooden lamb that was hollow inside, which was full of uncut, natural diamonds. Suddenly, I was outside the house where the treasure was, and wings began to grow on my back. I flew over the ocean and dropped a handful of these diamonds into a ring of fire in the water. Immediately, people began to fly out of the ring and up into a hole in the clouds. Then I woke up. I was surrounded by a sweet smell that I can't quite describe for the next two hours. Chapter 2 The next day, I was on my way to an estimate (I'm an electrical contractor). I passed by an obscure bench by the river, and there was a man sleeping on it. A voice told me to pick him up on my way back. So I did. He turned out to be a black man, about 5'10", with ice in his beard. It was very cold that morning, and why he was sleeping by the river, I don't know. I took him home, made him some tuna helper, he took a shower and I washed a shirt for him. I gave him a pepsi and a fruit juice. He drank the juice, and left the soda. He asked if he could stay for a couple of days. I said that he could stay in my old motorhome out back. I told him he might need to clean it a bit, since my girls had been playing in there. I went out to check on him after about an hour, and to my surprise, the motorhome was spotless. I asked him if he wanted anything, he said, do you have any fruit? So I got him some fruit, a jug of water, a tv with antennae and a vcr with a bunch of movies. I had to show him how to operate the vcr, and left him alone for a while. That night, I invited him in for dinner. To my surprise, my girlfriend didn't object. I bought a bottle of red wine, even though I hadn't drank since Christmas. Then we began to talk. He was fascinating. Intelligent, articulate and polite. That night in bed, my girlfriend and I both agreed he had to be a holy man. The next day, I had to ask, are you Jesus? He said he was the only one truly connected to Jesus. Then I began to ask questions. After a while, I completely believed him. Then I asked him why me. He said, I've been walking around the US, into Canada and Mexico for 27 years, and you're the first one to treat me with dignity and to believe me. He said, if you don't believe, you don't see. He stayed for about a month. My girlfriend began to get jealous. She also had a dream where Bill and I are standing together naked, and we intertwine and go up into heaven. This freaked her out, and assure her that nothing like that was happening. She eventually asked him to leave. I would have went with him if it wasn't for my kids. During this month, many things happened, including twice where I literally saw the clouds open up and rays streaming down on the motorhome. And one time, I went into the motorhome without knocking, and I swear I saw Bill stepping out of another dimension or something. I quickly stepped back out of the motorhome and knocked. During that month, I took over 20 pages of notes. Bill drew several pictures, some which I still have. He had a message. It was that the time for the prophecy in Revelation is passed. It didn't happen, and we are in new territory. The closest thing to a prophet these days are science fiction writers, because they can put an image of a potential future. He said our future looks bright, but we are out of control, like a stuck accelerator in a car. He said we need to quit building machines of war, and put our efforts to better mankind. He said our government has known about him for a long time. And God is not very happy with them, because they are oppressing us. He said Herod started a curse, a dominoes effect, or, he called it "cleave on little". He said the only true sin is suicide, or self-destruction. He said that gold will go to $3000 per ounce, but those that own it won't be able to sell it. He gave me a bunch of ideas, some that seemed silly at first, until I started to look into them. He said God can communicate with us in many ways, like your horoscope, a good movie, etc. I asked him how I should make people believe. He said don't worry about it, just put the information out there. It's like a mustard seed that will grow. He said watch the news, and you will start to see subtle changes that will become more and more prominent. Bill is gone now, to where, I don't know. His ideas continue to challenge current beliefs, and I continue to search for the truth. The more I search, the more I believe in Bill, and God. There is a ton more, a books worth, and I'm glad to share it with anybody that asks. People think I'm nuts, but I know the truth, so it doesn't bother me. I always thought it would be more glorious, but I now see that it's exactly the way Jesus was accepted when he was here. I believe we need to follow our own heart, but if we just worry about ourselves, how do we help those who are lost? If Jesus had just worried about himself, a man, I believe, who simply stuck to the prophecy. He was God's son because we are all God's children, right. Had Jesus not followed the prophecy, do you think he would have been remembered, or even recognized as the son of God? Bill said he became homeless after he left his wife. He went to California and when he went back to his wife, she had remarried. The pictures I have are of Egyptian looking pharaohs. I saw some of his drawings of cars that travel on a cushion of air, and space stations. He said the hybrid cars should use two banks of batteries, one for power, while the other recharges. He also said the pyramids were made from concrete, with the granite blocks being rolled into position with granite balls. But God has left the mystery of the pyramids for man to solve. He said there is a secret hidden in Turin, Italy. He said Jesus has been here since the beginning of time, and continues to be here today. He changes his appearance, and name. But he was only recognized as Jesus. Bill said he was so disgusted by Las Vegas (he spent 7 months there) he walked to Flagstaff, AZ on the opposite side of the road. He gave me the idea about moving the ice that's breaking off from global warming that I posted in another thread. He said that "they" (the illuminati) infected him with AIDS. Then someone gave him a overripe crate of plums, just before fermentation, and he ate the whole crate, and was cured of the AIDS. He went to a specialist, who said he was completely cured. He wore a ball cap sometimes, that had a ram on it. He was/is very nice, and completely trustworthy. He helped me on a couple of electrical jobs, and picked things up very quickly, and was amazingly energetic for a 64 year old man. He said he drove a taxi in Washington DC for several years, before he became homeless. Tons more info if you folks want to know. Bill was disappointed that more information about the two thieves on the cross was not known. He said they were Italians, and that Jesus knew them before the crucifixion. They were both saved, not just one of them. He said that Jesus had a choice whether to follow the prophecy or not. Jesus chose to die on the cross because the statement would last through time. A lot of times, I would say something, or ask a question, and he would encourage me if I was on the right track, or discourage me if I was wrong. He said that earth is the only planet created for life. So the I said "so I guess earth is pretty important" and he looked at me like I had made the understatement of the year, and said "very!". He said that God has a gigantic book that he keeps track of every human being that ever was and is. And God is not male or female, but just is. God is all encompassing. He's inside, and outside. Shall I go on? God is all about love. He loves us. He put everything on earth for us to use. We just need to be wise about our resources. If we continue to look towards doomsday, we can bring it to reality. If we look toward heaven on earth, we can bring that to reality also. Bill said, "take Hawaii for example. It's five fingers sticking up out of the ocean. A fragile place. But God leaves them alone, because they are a peaceful people. But look at Indonesia. A lot of bad things are happening there, and God keeps sending natural disasters. This is the hand of God at work" Bill said, "the bird flu is the work of the illuminati. People who are in control are ruled by fear of losing control. This is what happened to Herod. He set a curse in place that continues to this day. It's like whittling down a stick. Pretty soon, you have nothing left to whittle." He said God has been very patient, but He is beginning to lose his patience, and that is the reason for all the natural disasters lately. I asked him about the terrorist threat. He said they are destroying themselves. I asked about paganism. He said paganism doesn't mean today what it did when it was formed. I asked about homosexuality. He said man should not chase after men. Men should not have sex with each other. He said he believes in marriage, between a man and a woman. He said that the bible is our guide, but that people have literally gone crazy trying to interpret it. He said that Africa should tap into Victoria Falls, and irrigate the land. Bill said that when Cheney shot his hunting buddy, I was a sign to him. He was really upset about it. He said that the government will inflict a whole restaurant with sickness, just to get at him. He said that Atlantis did exist, but they began to think they were gods, so God destroyed them. But that the Atlantians understood many things that we don't today. Don't get me wrong. I'm not in the habit of picking up homeless people, although I've changed that point of view in light of the recent events. I used to give them money too, but with Bill, I was told to pick him up. I believe the voice in my head was God, and I chose to act on it. Bill was unusual. He didn't stink when he got into the truck. He staggered when he got up from the bench, so I assumed he was drunk. Came to find out later, that he staggered when he got up because he had been beat up many times. Bill drank three times during his stay with me. The first night. Then about two weeks later after work one night I paid him and bought him a six pack of Corona. He had two beers left a week later which we shared a beer together. Then I made a crab leg dinner in his honor one night, and had a bottle of white wine. The bottle lasted two days. I asked him what he thought about drugs. He said he smoked pot one time. One of his "fares" gave him a joint after he "discharged" them, and he smoked it in his cab. He said it really messed with his depth perception, and he basically let God drive him home. He never smoked again, and he had never done any other drugs.
See my battle with the Christians here. Remember, this is a true story. I just telling it like it is.
You may have indeed found Jesus, for he is not one man but God's selective few who have committed themselves to a life of benevolence living only to serve mankind. Hotwater
"At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There He is!' do not believe it. For false Christ's and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. So if anyone tells you, 'There He is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here He is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it." - Matthew 24:23-26 Of course with such a profound dream you wouldn't be in a position to disagree with the bible? Would you?
I think that a lot of homeless people are Jesus. I always end up having sex with them, but I end up disappointed when I do not feel a sense of holy achievement when I orgasm. Oh well. I hope your homeless guy is the Jesus. Use protection.
Wow, haven't been back to thread for a bit. Thanks for all your kind posts. I took this picture about a week ago. See the half of a face to the left of the cutout of Jesus? Me thinks He's giving me a sign. Pretty wild huh. I took the picture, thinking the clouds were neat. Later, I saw the face. What are the chances of taking a picture, and in that one moment, a face like this appears?? This is my website, in case you want to read the whole story.
This is a comparison of Bill with the shroud. Bill wore a hat, with a ram on it. There are a lot of similarities to the shroud. Like the line in his left cheek. That line is in Bills face, and the shroud, and the picture in the clouds. Keep in mind Bills head is tilted back a bit more, and his face isn't relaxed like the shroud would be. Peace be with you.
Yeah, Jesus said that to Peter. Peter, the rock that the Church is built on. Peter that denied Jesus three times. The rock, that has no roots, and is dead. 19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Absolutely nothing. I believe in God. I'm even Christian. That's why this kind of message is so dangerous. Convincing people, or telling people that someone is Jesus that isn't is harmful to the message of Christianity. Your homeless friend could in fact be a Holy man, but he is certainly not Jesus. Christians are warned again and again in the Bible about false prophets, people that claim Christ has appeared to them and given them words to pass onto society. It's dangerous, and a perversion of a beautiful message and faith. Trying to get people to follow another message by using influences from Christianity is horrible. I know I can't stop anyone from doing what they truely believe, but any member of Christ's flock with sense should be able to see this for what it is. "Peter, the rock that the Church is built on. Peter that denied Jesus three times. The rock, that has no roots, and is dead." That simple quote should tell you all you need to know about onofGod's faith and real goal. Let alone the abstracted bible quotes: " 19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" Abstract anything you like onofGod, even the devil knows the scriptures. The passage I chose is very clear and addresses your message directly without any necessary abstraction. At first I thought you might be misguided, but now I see more clearly your intentions. I can only hope others do as well.
Well, the current church system has really brought us closer to God, with perverts calling themselves father and fondeling little boys, and pastors driving $50,000 cars, thinking they are "saved". People building their million dollar churches, with food banks for their paying customers. Selling their books, calling themselves experts, and walking right by the needy, with their noses up in the air. They did it to Bill many times. Before they even knew him, they judged him by his clothes, his color. I had it up to my eyeballs with the christians. They are mean, rude and un-holy. They try to preach to me all their crap, and go take out their loans to build bigger houses, thinking this is their fruit. They will be judged the hardest. Better to be an athiest , than a hypocrite.
floyd, you admit the Bill could be a holy man, and then turn around and say that I am spreading the wrong message by telling people what he told me? Are you holier than him? How many holy men have you talked to lately?
Do you know Jesus is really God? Who else could take that much pain and raise again? Carry is own cross after being beat so much. Who else would go through all of that to save us? No, really..Jesus is God. They are one. He took a human body and it was Jesus. Father, Son and the Holy Ghost is one. Pretty cool, huh? You have to really understand the Bible to get it.
