Since the 1960s I have traveled to many foreign lands teaching the importance of the Original Book of Mormon and what it teaches about the United States of America.
Years ago we created a very important message that THERE IS NO CHURCH IN HEAVEN, ONLY TRUTH. The Millennium began on April 6, 2000.
We stopped the Global BLUE BEAM PROJECT on this day through exposure by radio and internet because the Lord is in charge of the USA and not false prophets and political leaders! The Blue Beam Project is further explained on this site. It is holographic technology used to create the illusion and hoax of aliens (to cover up technology and abductions) and to create spiritual illusions "to fool 85% of the world" (as quoted by a CIA/LDS agent in Utah for the One World Order).
Daniel, a great leader for Babylon and God was blessed with visions from the Angel Gabriel 600 BC. Today nearly forty percent of the world (2.5 Billion) believe in the power and authority of Angel Gabriel. Daniel saw the commencement of the Millennium as 2000 AD and the importance of the United States of America in that year for all of the world to follow. Apostle John the Revelator certified it. Only the wisdom of God could have accomplished this. President Ronald Reagan had the US Congress pass a bill honoring the Bible as the Word of God for the citizens of the USA. In the 1970s, myself and former California Governor Reagan discussed the importance of the Prophet Daniel and the USA and why some California Pentecostal leaders caught the vision of Jesus being God, as stated in the Original Book of Mormon. For years I have met Pentecostal pastors who use Book of Mormon verses in describing how Jesus is Heavenly Father.
What were the “wonders” Daniel was viewing relating to the rise and fall of the empires he saw in his dreams from God and how 588 BC was the destruction wrought by Babylon the People of the Lord and how the 2000 AD is the beginning of the Millennium, the reign of the Lord Jesus Christ as God? A solution to the 1290 and the 1335 Days of the last chapter of Daniel are the historic years of 1926 AD, and 2000 AD for Old Jerusalem. From the Book of Revelations, the 1260 Days is the historic year of 1914 AD.
In 1914 God sent angels to preserve the Allies, who in turn freed the land of Palestine and made the return of the Israelites possible. At the battle of Mons, August 14, 1914, the British contingent were in danger of annihilation by the Germans in Palestine, but the battle immediately stopped and the British were able to escape. through a miracle (Literary Digest, September 15, 1915). In 1926 the Turks retreated from Old Jerusalem and the destruction of this great city didn’t happen when Allies airplanes appeared and not a single shell was fired against the sacred city by either party. (“The City of the Great King”, by James T. Nichols, December 19, 1926). These are histories written after the fact. Isaiah had as clearly portrayed it beforehand. “As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.” (Isaiah 31:5)
In an effort to document what was written in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation for the establishment of these latter days, 588 BC is the date when the scattering of the holy people happened because the great destruction was wrought by Babylon. Twelve years earlier a Jerusalem businessman, Lehi, fled his country because of dreams and warnings. The lost ten tribes of Israel were Celts – 500 BC. There was no known invasion of Britain by the Celts; they probably gradually infiltrated into British society through trade and other contact over a period of several hundred years; Druids, the intellectual class of the Celts (their own word for themselves, meaning "the hidden people"), begin a thousand year floruit. 1272 years (1290 Chaldean) from 588 BC brings us to 684 AD. What happened on this date? The British Isles abandons the Celtic Christian Church and accepts the faith of Rome. The Roman brand of Christianity is brought to Britain for the first time by St. Augustine, the missionary sent from Pope Gregory to convert the Saxons. Augustine founded a monastery and the first church at Canterbury, and was proclaimed its first Archbishop
Prophetic days symbolize so many years: “I have appointed thee each day for a year.” (Ezekiel 4:6) 1260 Days: “a time, times, and a half” is a period otherwise stated, is a year, years and a half or three years and a half. Now at that time the Chaldean year prevailed, which composed of 360 days, was decidedly shorter than the solar year of 365-1/4 days, such as we use today. Three and a half Chaldean years therefore will equal 1260 days. In prophetic parlance signify years, therefore the period before us is 1260 years. In 1260 Chaldean or calendar years there are 1242 solar years, in 1290 Chaldean years there are 1272 solar years and in the large period of 1335 Chaldean years, there are 1316 solar years. The date of commencing this period is not stated, but it is connected to a specific date dealing with Babylon (588 BC) to the Roman Empire; and then when the Roman Catholic invaded England (684 AD), or 1272 years (1290 years, Chaldean).
Why did the Lord help some biblical believers in Christ to abandon the traditions of Church-State religions (Roman Catholic, etc) and become a second witness of the Lord in the United States of America about Jesus being Heavenly Father? Another witness is needed. Frank Ewart, a Pentecostal Minister began to understand the true meaning of the importance of the USA and how it related to the Books of Revelation and Daniel in 1913. He discovered the importance of Modalism (Sabellius). Pentecostal Ministers Paul and Faye Richardson, Richmond, Virginia connected the Book of Mormon with this belief after Paul had a heavenly visit from Jesus. Back in the 1980s Steve Davis met with David K. Bernard about his 1983 Publication, THE ONENESS OF GOD, in Austin, Texas.
“And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to ever lasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever….And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.” (Daniel 12: 1-3, 11-13)
The Roman Empire ruled at the time of John the Revelator’s Dream: “And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither in their place found any more in heaven.” (Revelation 12: 6-8)
In 1926 the major religious groups which used the “altered” Book of Mormon as scripture had abandoned the rule of “common consent” (which was established in July, 1830 (D&C 26) and all were practicing a sole dictatorship (Mormon Church - Corporate Sole in Utah, 1923; and RLDS Prophet declaration in 1925; Church of Christ, Temple Lot had no “apostles”) The Utah Corporate Sole was dissolved on November 19, 1973 by Mormon President Harold B. Lee who was then murdered five weeks later – the entity is still operating today, using automatic signature machines since 1989 for financial transactions worth billions of dollars). The US can investigate and terminate these illegal banking practices. Tens of thousands of Mormons want the plain and simple truths restored.
History of Pentecostal Believers in One God:
Founder: Frank Ewart
Founding Date: 1913
Structure: Numerous denominations and independent churches.
Official Publications: Harvestime radio program, The New Birth, The Oneness of God.
Unique Terms: Apostolic, Jesus Only, Jesus Name baptism, prophecy wheel, emphasis on Acts 2:38.
Groups: United Pentecostal Church International, Apostolic World Christian Federation, Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ, Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith, Pentecostal Assemblies of the World.
The founding date of the Oneness Pentecostal movement can be traced to a specific event: a revival meeting in Los Angeles on April 15, 1913. The culmination of the meeting occurred when Canadian revivalist R.E. McAlister baptized converts not according to the Trinitarian formula of the historic Christian Church, but in the name of Jesus only.1 While many at the meeting were shocked by this action, the burgeoning evangelist Frank Ewart spent many hours with McAlister following the service and was converted to the practice. According to many Oneness Pentecostals, McAlister taught Ewart that baptizing in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, as stated in Acts 2:38,2 was the fulfillment of the Trinitarian creed in Matthew 28:19.3 The passage from Matthew is fulfilled because Jesus, the Son, is simply the ultimate _expression of the monotheistic God (rather than the Son being a distinct Person within the Trinitarian Godhead).
The next significant date in the development of the movement occurred exactly two years later, on April 15, 1915, when Ewart gave his first sermon on Acts 2:38. David Reed believes that, despite the claims of Oneness Pentecostals that Ewart preached the message given to him by McCalister, Ewart did not actually develop his modalistic theology until after this sermon.4 Nonetheless, the approximate date for the development of Ewart's teaching regarding the necessity of baptism in the name of Jesus only can be traced to this period.
Also on this date, Ewart rebaptized supporter Glenn A. Cook according to the Jesus only formula; Cook then rebaptized Ewart.5 This was the beginning of the rebaptism of thousands of Pentecostals. The Oneness movement quickly spread through Pentecostal churches, particularly the Assemblies of God. The AG debated the issue of baptism in Jesus' name at their 1915 general assembly, and in 1916 defeated the movement in their denomination by requiring adherence to Trinitarian theology in the Statement of Fundamental Truths.6 156 ministers subsequently left the AG to form an independent Oneness denomination. In January, 1918, the General Assembly of the Apostolic Assemblies merged with the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, a denomination affiliated with the original Pentecostal revival on Azusa Street in Los Angeles.7
A particularly significant event in the history of the Oneness Pentecostal movement occurred in 1945, when the Pentecostal Church, Incorporated, merged with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Jesus Christ to form the United Pentecostal Church International. Beginning with 617 churches in 1946, the UPCI currently has 25,283 churches with a membership of over 2.6 million.8
Doctrine
Trinity
One of the two most distinguishing beliefs and practices within Oneness Pentecostalism (along with Jesus Only baptism — see below) is modalism. Oneness Pentecostals deny the Trinity, believing instead that the monotheistic God simply "manifests" Himself in the offices or roles of the members of the Trinity. For example, one statement of Oneness beliefs claims:
God is absolutely one, with no distinction of persons. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 44:8; 45:5-6, 21-23; 46:9 Romans 3:30; Galatians 3:20; James 2:19). In order to save sinful humanity, God provided a sinless Man as a sacrifice of atonement — Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In begetting the Son and in relating to humanity, God is the Father. In working to transform and empower human lives, God is the Holy Spirit. Thus, for our salvation, God has revealed Himself as Father (in parental relationship to humanity), in His Son (in human flesh), and as the Holy Spirit (in spiritual action). (Malachi 2:10; Luke 1:35; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18; 1 Timothy 2:5).9
David K. Bernard, one of the most significant Oneness apologists, elaborates: "The term 'God the Father' is biblical and refers to God Himself…[The Bible] also clearly teaches that Jesus is the one Father. The Spirit that dwelt in the Son of God was none other than the Father."10
In other words, the Godhead does not consist of three distinct Persons with one substance. Instead, the single Person performs various roles to which He assigns the titles of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. When the monotheistic God acts as the Creator, He is performing as the Father. When He provided the atoning sacrifice to enable humans to be saved, He was performing as the Son. Finally, when He works to transform redeemed humans, He is performing as the Holy Spirit.
Theophilus of Antioch, a second-century Christian, is widely recognized (according to available evidence) as the first individual to use the word "Trinity" in explaining the biblical teachings about God.11 The lack of earlier documentary evidence for the word "Trinity" leads many Oneness Pentecostals to assume that "power hungry bishops" in the early conciliar period devised the doctrine in order to accommodate Greco-Roman traditions.12 They allege that the doctrine was developed further at the Council of Nicaea to accommodate the combined theological and political aspirations of Emperor Constantine.13
This belief system displays three misunderstandings: a misunderstanding of the bases for conciliar proclamations, a misunderstanding of the origins of modalism, and a misunderstanding of what the Bible teaches regarding the Trinity. Properly understanding all three points is vital for accurate Christian theology.
Conciliar Proclamations: Many Christians inaccurately believe that the seven Ecumenical Councils of the early Church were occasions on which new doctrine was developed. Instead, the councils clarified the consensus fidelium (consensus of the faithful, or the "mind of the Church"), and defended it from heretical attacks. For example, the Council of Nicaea (325 A.D.) did not "decide" that Jesus Christ is of the same substance as the Father. Similarly, the Council of Constantinople (381 A.D.) did not "decide" that the Holy Spirit is also God. Instead, these councils, in reaction to heresies afflicting the Church at the time, clarified the biblical teachings for the faithful by creating pronouncements that would teach the biblical doctrines in ways that could be easily understood by the Church. Thus, the Nicene Creed was written at the Council of Nicaea in order to clearly promote the core doctrines of Christianity (including the belief that Jesus Christ is a distinct Person who is of one substance with the Father).
Modalism: The doctrine of the Godhead taught by Oneness Pentecostals, rather than having its roots in the Bible, can instead be traced to the heresy of modalism taught in the third century by Sabellius (although it was first taught in 190 by Theodotus of Byzantium). Sabellius taught that the monotheistic God (called a monad) progressively revealed Himself through the offices of the Trinity. Significantly, Sabellius was excommunicated from the Church for his aberrant teachings. The Oneness Pentecostal teaching that God "manifested" Himself through the offices of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit comes directly from Sabellius, who even used the term "manifesting" to define his doctrine.14
Biblical Teaching of the Trinity: A Oneness teacher wrote, "To say that God is three persons and find substantiation for it in the Scripture is a work in futility. There is literally nothing in the Bible that supports God being three persons."15 On the contrary, however, the passages at the end of this Profile clearly show that the concept of the Trinity can be found in the Bible. Oneness Pentecostals are correct in pointing out that the God of the Bible is monotheistic. Nonetheless, because the Bible also teaches that there is a Person called God the Father, a Person called God the Son, and a Person called God the Holy Spirit, it is clear that the Bible teaches that within the nature of the one God there exist three separate and distinct Persons.
Jesus Only Baptism
As stated in the "History" section of this Profile, the Oneness Pentecostal movement started when R.E. McAlister baptized respondents at a revival in the name of Jesus only. Modern Oneness Pentecostals continue the practice because they believe, as did McAlister, that Acts 2:38 was the fulfillment of Matthew 28:19. David K. Bernard states, "[Matthew 28:19] teaches the titles of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost identify one name and therefore one being… The church correctly carried out the instructions Jesus gave in Mt.28:19 when the apostles used the name of Jesus in water baptism."16 The UPCI elaborates: "The word name is used here in the singular, and it is the focal point of the baptismal command. The titles Father, Son, and Holy Ghost describe God's relationships to humanity and are not the supreme, caving name describe here, which is Jesus."17 In other words, the apostles baptized in the name of Jesus alone, and in doing so perfectly carried out the instructions of the Lord. Furthermore, Oneness Pentecostals claim that Christians must be baptized according to the "Jesus Only" formula in order to be saved.18 The "Jesus Only" understanding and practice of baptism is thus tremendously significant to the spiritual state of Oneness Pentecostals.
The "Jesus Only" formula reflects an egregious decontextualization of Scripture. For example, examining Matthew 28:18 clearly refutes the Oneness understanding of Matthew 28:19. Jesus claims in verse 18 that all power was given to him by the Father; this claim would be meaningless, and would perhaps even be an indication of schizophrenia, if the Father and Son were actually the same person. Thus, just as he claimed in verse 18 the authority given to him, in verse 19 he commands the apostles to go forth and to baptize upon that authority (i.e., the command of Jesus).19 Such an understanding is confirmed by Acts 10:48, which similarly expresses the authority by which baptism is performed.
The Oneness understanding that salvation depends upon Jesus' Name baptism is similarly refuted by Scripture. Oneness Pentecostals use Acts 4:12 as evidence that salvation comes through this baptismal formula.20 If salvation comes only through being baptized by the sacred name of God, and if the Son is simply a manifestation of God the Father, then baptism would therefore need to be performed in the name of Elohim or Yahweh (provided in the Old Testament). Since even Oneness Pentecostals would dispute this understanding, the necessity of baptism in the name of Jesus only is easily refuted using their own logic.
Tongues
Many Oneness Pentecostals believe that Christians must receive the gift of tongues, or glossolalia, in order to be saved. It should be pointed out that such Oneness Pentecostals do not believe that the gift of tongues in itself will save individuals; however, any individual who has received the Holy Spirit, and thus will be saved, will also receive and exhibit the gift of tongues. David K. Bernard explains,
Tongues in and of themselves do not save. Nevertheless, the relationship between the Spirit baptism and tongues is similar to that of faith and works. We are saved by faith, not works, yet works always accompany genuine faith. Likewise, tongues cannot save us, yet the Spirit baptism produces tongues as the initial sign…A Spirit baptism without tongues is a nonbiblical concept; the Bible does not discuss this possibility. We should always expect speaking in tongues when someone receives the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
It is not the purpose of this Profile to argue for or against glossolalia. Nonetheless, it is necessary to point out that the Oneness belief in the gift of tongues as a necessary evidence of having the Holy Spirit (as opposed to the gift as an evidence of the fullness of the Spirit, as some Pentecostals believe) is unbiblical. Even Bernard admits that many of the biblical accounts of conversions do not describe receiving the gift of tongues. Therefore, Oneness Pentecostals are erroneously attempting to argue that something that occasionally occurred should therefore always occur; it is impossible to argue this point when the Bible does not make such a claim.

Dear Dave, Tim, Ronda, Vernon and Jaime,
ATLAS Cities of Commerce plans to have a display booth at the 85th General Conference of the United Pentecostal Church International on October 4, 2009 in St. Louis, Missouri displaying authentic artifacts from King Solomon’s Temple. These artifacts were discovered in a Southern Illinois massive cavern back in the 1980s. The cave entrance was destroyed in 1989. ATLAS will be reopening it up this summer. These artifacts were brought over to the Great Lakes area approximately 550 BC by Zara, the daughter to the Prophet Jeremiah and Mulek, son of King Zedeciah, the last King of Judah. It is believed the cave was opened up through the 1811-1812 New Madrid, Missouri earthquake.
It is believed that the tomb of the Prophet Jeremiah is on Devenish Island, Western Ireland. Historians have dated the location of “Jacob’s Pillar” (Coronation Stone of England) had reached Ireland through a shipwreck in 582 BC.
Since the 1960s I have traveled to many foreign lands teaching the importance of the Book of Isaiah, Chapters 11-13 in what it teaches about the United States of America. I have been a biblical scholar. When I was nineteen years old I had read the Bible sixteen times (1969). We moved to Moberly, Randolph County, Missouri in 2004 because of the Cecil V. Fretwell Family and Vatican connections I have had since the 1960s. On December 15, 2008 I met Rev. McGarvey at my home as he presided over a sacred marriage for my son, Marc. Marc knew his daughter, Jaime Morgans at his employment, the local community college. I shared with Rev. McGarvey hundreds of pictures of ancient artifacts discovered in a Southern Illinois cave back in the 1980s. I had initially met Vernon McGarvey through a friend of mine, Rabbi Stanley Fretwell. In 1961 Cecil’s son, Stanley Fretwell was visiting the Vatican while he was a college student in Jerusalem to become a Rabbi. Stanley photographed the Dead Sea Scrolls with a retired New Jersey cop holding them up. In 1985, my computer company at UCLA translated them. Because of this close relationship my family has in these translations, the Vatican Film Library at St. Louis University was established. Until 2010 this is the top location for Vatican research while the Vatican Library in Rome is closing for a three-year renovation.
Vatican Library in Rome Closes: Saint Louis University Becomes Hub for World's Leading Scholars
ST. LOUIS -- On Saturday, July 14, 2007 the Vatican Library in Rome is closing for a three-year renovation. The closure will make Missouri’s Saint Louis University's renowned Vatican Film Library even more important for the world's leading scholars and researchers. One of the world's oldest public libraries, the Vatican Library, has closed for rebuilding. It is not expected to reopen before September 2010.
The Knights of Columbus Vatican Film Library, located in the University's Pius XII Memorial Library, holds microfilm copies of approximately 37,000 of the Vatican Library's 70,000 manuscript codices. Because of this extensive collection, officials from Rome are encouraging scholars to come to St. Louis, Missouri during the renovation period.
Holding major portions of the Vatican's Greek, Latin and Western European vernacular collections as well as materials in Arabic, Ethiopic and Hebrew, the Vatican Film Library at Saint Louis University is one of the largest and most comprehensive libraries in the world for medieval and Renaissance manuscript studies. The Vatican Film Library also has microfilm of some of history's most important treasures, including early complete texts of the Bible and early works of Virgil.
Back in the 1980s I did extensive research with the writings of Reverend David Bernard because I was convinced his conclusions are the same as is written on these ancient artifacts discovered in Illinois.
THE ONENESS OF GOD: “Jesus is everything that the Bible describes God to be. He has all the attributes, prerogatives, and characteristics of God Himself. To put it simply, everything that God is Jesus is. Jesus is the one God. There is no better way to sum it all up than to say with the inspired Apostle Paul, "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him" (Colossians 2:9-10). ”
Since we have been living in Missouri I have communicated with Rev. Bernard for the past five years. Daniel, a great leader for Babylon and God was blessed with visions from the Angel Gabriel 600 BC. Today nearly forty percent of the world (2.5 Billion) believes in the power and authority of Angel Gabriel. Daniel saw the commencement of the Millennium as 2000 AD and the importance of the United States of America in that year for all of the world to follow. Apostle John the Revelator certified it. Only the wisdom of God could have accomplished this. President Ronald Reagan had the US Congress pass a bill honoring the Bible as the Word of God for the citizens of the USA. In the 1970s, I and former California Governor Reagan discussed the importance of the Prophet Daniel and the USA and why some California Pentecostal leaders caught the vision of Jesus being God, as stated in the original Book of Mormon (not used by any religion). For years I have met Pentecostal pastors who use Book of Mormon verses in describing how Jesus is Heavenly Father.
What were the “wonders” Daniel viewed which related to the rise and fall of the empires he saw in his dreams from God and how 588 BC was the destruction wrought by Babylon the people of the Lord and how the 2000 AD is the beginning of the Millennium, the reign of the Lord Jesus Christ as God? A solution to the 1290 and the 1335 Days of the last chapter of Daniel are the historic years of 1926 AD, and 2000 AD for Old Jerusalem. From the Book of Revelations, the 1260 Days is the historic year of 1914 AD.
In 1914 God sent angels to preserve the Allies, who in turn freed the land of Palestine and made the return of the Israelites possible. At the battle of Mons, August 14, 1914, the British contingent were in danger of annihilation by the Germans in Palestine, but the battle immediately stopped and the British were able to escape through a miracle (Literary Digest, September 15, 1915).

In an effort to document what was written in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation for the establishment of these latter days, 588 BC is the date when the scattering of the holy people happened because the great destruction was wrought by Babylon. The lost ten tribes of Israel were those who became the people in the “isles of the sea” Celts, and those in Scandinavia countries, beginning about 400 BC. There was no known invasion of Britain by the Celts; they probably gradually infiltrated into British society through trade and other contact over a period of several hundred years; Druids, the intellectual class of the Celts (their own word for themselves, meaning "the hidden people"), begin a thousand year floruit. 1272 years (1290 Chaldean) from 588 BC brings us to 684 AD. What happened on this date? The British Isles abandons the Celtic Christian Church and accepts the faith of Rome. The Roman brand of Christianity is brought to Britain for the first time by St. Augustine, the missionary sent from Pope Gregory to convert the Saxons. Augustine founded a monastery and the first church at Canterbury, and was proclaimed its first Archbishop
Prophetic days symbolize so many years: “I have appointed thee each day for a year.” (Ezekiel 4:6) 1260 Days: “a time, times, and a half” is a period otherwise stated, is a year, years and a half or three years and a half. Now at that time the Chaldean year prevailed, which composed of 360 days, was decidedly shorter than the solar year of 365-1/4 days, such as we use today. Three and a half Chaldean years therefore will equal 1260 days. In prophetic parlance signify years, therefore the period before us is 1260 years. In 1260 Chaldean or calendar years there are 1242 solar years, in 1290 Chaldean years there are 1272 solar years and in the large period of 1335 Chaldean years, there are 1316 solar years. The date of commencing this period is not stated, but it is connected to a specific date dealing with Babylon (588 BC) to the Roman Empire; and then when the Roman Catholic invaded England (684 AD), or 1272 years (1290 years, Chaldean).
Why did the Lord help some biblical believers in Christ to abandon the traditions of Church-State religions (Roman Catholic, etc) and become a second witness of the Lord in the United States of America about Jesus being Heavenly Father? Another witness is needed. Frank Ewart, a Pentecostal Minister began to understand the true meaning of the importance of the USA and how it related to the Books of Revelation and Daniel in 1913. He discovered the importance of Modalism (Sabellius). Pentecostal Ministers Paul and Faye Richardson, Richmond, Virginia connected the importance of the United States of America to the Millennium period.
“And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to ever lasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever….And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.” (Daniel 12: 1-3, 11-13)
The Roman Empire ruled at the time of John the Revelator’s Dream: “And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither in their place found any more in heaven.” (Revelation 12: 6-8)
I grew up in Tucson, Arizona where my father, Dr. H. Clyde Davis PhD, was the geologist of the United States between 1953 to 2006. He was also a college religion professor for many years, 1948-1989. My father always taught me to separate religion from government operations. He did this because beginning in 1966 Dr. Davis became the geologist for various church organizations where they would invest in economic developments through natural resources throughout the world. By profession, I am a mining and aerospace engineer who traveled with my father for over forty years, verifying mineral wealth and commercialization of various ore bodies.
This year ATLAS is financing a Blockbuster Movie where the life of my father, Clyde Davis will be featured between 1941-1966. Clyde served as a missionary for his church to Ohio-Illinois area and it was during World War II. Clyde witnessed the terror on Americans caused by the Pearl Harbor attack. By 1943, Clyde was one of the very few young men not involved as a soldier in this area and was given a radio program to talk to the people as a voice of comfort and trust in God. Every week he told them a story about an ancient civilization that lived right where they were living and how they were protected by God through faith and hard word. Clyde finished his missionary services in June, 1943 and immediately enlisted to be a pilot. He was transferred to the ‘secret code’ department. One of the listeners to Clyde back in 1942-43 was Missouri Senator Harry S. Truman. When Senator Truman became Vice-President of the United States on January 20, 1945, he located Clyde and they became good friends. Just a few months later, April 12, 1945, Truman became President of the United States. President Truman placed twenty-four year old Clyde Davis as one of the most trusted men in America. From that day forward, Dr. Davis certified that the true location of the Mound builders’ history was on the Mississippi/Ohio Rivers – Great Lakes area. He connected how the power of the Lord created the New Madrid, Missouri Earthquake and how the Lord opened up many Hopewell caves. The Davis movie connects Clyde and the 1963 Hopewell connection of ancient mounds. As the geologist for the United States, Dr. Davis, convinced many scholars and historians to re-open the ancient mound builders research to the period of 200 BC – 500 AD. This was accomplished in 1963 through Clyde. The script deals with Dr. Davis (like Robert Langdon, The Da Vinci Code) walking the audience through his own personal life experiences and connecting the Hopewell Civilization to its scriptural roots.
ATLAS believes we have discovered parts of the treasures of King Solomon’s Temple located in a cavern in Southern Illinois that will be displayed in our Museum. ATLAS will be opening up this cave later this year, in co-operation with the National Museum of Washington DC.
ATLAS Cities of Commerce is joint venturing with several conservative businessmen and women in creating jobs within the United States of America through thousands of small businesses. Fellow New Yorker, Thomas Friedman on 02/23/2009 wrote an excellent article entitled, “It's time to bankroll innovative startups, not bail out Detroit's losers”. In it he wrote: “…We're down, but we're not out. As we invest taxpayer money, let's do it with an eye to starting a new generation of biotech, info-tech, nanotech and clean-tech companies, with real innovators, real 21st-century jobs and potentially real profits for taxpayers. Our motto should be, "Startups, not bailouts: Nurture the next Google, don't nurse the old GMs…."
This year we have budgeted $50 Million for several Humanitarian projects for 2009-10. Last September, 2008 at the Moberly Area Chamber of Commerce annual banquet my nephew, Rulon Gardner, 2000 Gold Medalist Olympian wrestler, was the keynote speaker. This year Rulon and ATLAS Cities of Commerce are constructing a Museum and Research Center honoring the heritages of Native Americans some miles east of St. Louis. My wife, Karen, is part Cherokee. The ATLAS Museum will be constructed this year. It was designed by the famous Arnold Friberg, artist for Cecil B. DeMille and the 10 Commandments.
There is very little history about the life of Mulek, son of King Zedekiah, who fled Jerusalem before it was destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar. We believe this group of Israelites traveled around Spain, up through Ireland and eventually to the St. Lawrence River, Canada. You will enjoy the following information my father and I uncovered through many years of research: There are great things happening here in the homeland USA which deals with sacred items of King Solomon’s Temple and the disappearance of it just before the destruction by the Babylonian Empire, 586 BC. It deals with artifacts dating back to the time of Moses in the Old Testament which my father, Dr. H. Clyde Davis, examined at Notre Dame University back in the 1950s. We would be honored to joint venture with the United Nations in bringing these historical artifacts for view and examination by the people of the world. Last month I conversed with Roger Kennedy, formerly of the National Museum in Washington DC about his past participation about the Hopewell civilization and their artifacts here in the USA (200 BC – 500 AD). These ancient histories connect all nations and religions.
The preservation of this country’s prehistoric and historic heritage has a long tradition of community support and academic and political interest. Federal preservation legislation, commencing in 1906, reflects the national value and significance that U.S. prehistoric and historic cultural resources possess, whether managed by Federal, State, or local governments or private citizens. As the National Historic Preservation Act asserts. . . the preservation of this irreplaceable heritage is in the public interest so that its vital legacy of cultural, educational, aesthetic, inspirational, economic, and energy benefits will be maintained and enriched for future generations of Americans. Virtually every congressional district contains federally managed sites, structures, or landscapes of prehistoric and historic interests.
The ATLAS Museum and Research Center will be working as a private college with many local, national and international organizations because we believe the inventory of these ancient cultural resources is far from complete. There are many sites, structures, and landscapes with prehistoric or historic significance which may not be cataloged and protected before they have been destroyed or dramatically altered. The boundaries separating the practice of archaeology and the preservation of historic structures and historic landscapes are becoming increasingly indistinct. Preservation professionals apply many of the same technologies to the study and conservation of sites, structures, and landscapes we will follow.
The Ark of the Covenant is mentioned in the Bible many times in the books of Exodus & Deuteronomy. Apostles Paul and John then mention important rules about the Arc of the Covenant to those who joined the Church of Jesus Christ.
Before Paul became a member of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles he was struck by the Lord through a coma for three days and taught many things, especially about the Arc of the Covenant. He was told about the rules taught by God to the Prophet Moses and the importance of order in dealing with the Arc of the Covenant, Hebrews 8:1-5:
“Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.”
Apostle John also mentions it in Revelation 11:19, “And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thundering, and an earthquake, and great hail.” Not only does Exodus detail how the Israelites got the gold, but it talks about a “pattern” in doing it for the Lord: Exodus 25:9 According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it. Exodus 25:40 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was showed thee in the mount.
The Book of Exodus then details exactly how much Egyptian gold there was. Exodus 32:2-4 explains that Aaron made the golden calf out of the earrings the people wore. That's a lot of earrings! But that's not where the gold for the ark came from. Exodus 35 discusses the source for the materials for the tabernacle and the ark and all of the instruments used for worship.
We would like to connect all the above through a special college scholarship program through a joint venture with the 4 Million believers that Jesus Christ is Heavenly Father and there is only One God.
