A downloadable project

That's me with some characters I made as a kid: Eepum, Snoogle, and Mr Spinny (renamed Spinny Jr).

I'm 28 this year (2022) and have 3 precious children with the woman of my dreams.

I used to be interested in debates involving religion and modern-day "science", though I'm beginning to think people are just going to choose which dominoes they want to knock down in their life and then work backwards to decide what they want to believe for the origin of the universe and an interpretation of the data we see today.

Anyhow, on the off chance that you're open-minded and curious, here's an important collection of videos I have gathered for myself and others. I call it Satan Smackdown.

The following is a summary of my worldview:

I believe there exists a being which I call God. He has existed forever. That is, He existed even before our understanding of time. He is the supernatural cause that created the natural laws we see today. Therefore, natural explanations for His existence are pointless, though we can perhaps reason some of His character by examining His creations, just like we could with any artist. I take the book of Genesis literally. I believe God created the entire universe (all of heaven and earth) within 6 consecutive evening-morning sequences, and then rested the 7th day, not because He needed to, but because He is the greatest storyteller there is (see further down in this page). I believe there used to be a thin layer of cold water or ice crystals between earth and space (outside our ionosphere) which pressurized our oxygen and served as a shield against cosmic radiation. This would explain the long lifespans of early humans noted in the Old Testament, as well as the ability for us to have children with close relatives without causing genetic disorders. I believe the global flood in Noah's days wiped out all of the dinosaurs (except maybe a few small ones on the ark) and all of the people who had genetics corrupted by fallen angels. I believe there was a rebellion in heaven, led by a creature known as Lucifer, who wanted to take God's place. He was cast down to earth and renamed Satan (names and their meanings have great significance). Satan now wants to stop God's plans in any way he can. God, of course, knows all of Satan's plans ahead of time (for God is outside of such trivial things as "time" and "space" and "matter"). So everything Satan plans for evil, God uses for good as a way of teaching and testing our hearts. God allows Satan to be the temporary ruler of the earth, but Satan is only able to work through the will of mankind. Satan tries to corrupt them by tempting them to love their sins more than they love God. Over and over again throughout the Old Testament, we see God protecting His people from the world (and from the people "of the world", i.e. those who are lost or deceived by Satan). We see a lot of foreshadowing in the fact that mankind simply cannot save itself from corruption. It's even worse today (if you think otherwise, you might live under a rock or just be a complete goober). So we get to the New Testament, especially John 3:16:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

I believe the earth is about 6,000 years old. Or rather, I think it will be 6,000 years old at the end of the 7-year Tribulation. I believe the Rapture will occur immediately before the beginning of those years.

After the tribulation is over, those who were saved under the Law (Old Testament) and those saved by the grace of Jesus (New Testament) will return to rule over the earth with Jesus in the Millennial Kingdom (1,000 years of true peace).

So, I believe God is using a 7,000-year calendar in a sort of 7-day parallel. Remember how He rested the 7th day of Creation? It says in the Bible that a day is as a thousand years to God. That could be interpreted simply as a way of saying "He doesn't see time the way we do", or perhaps the earth really is 6,000 years old and there will be 1,000 years of rest soon, after one final test for each person left behind. If you decide not to call out to Jesus before the tribulation begins, I pray you have the courage to stand up for Jesus during those years.

Whether you choose to read or not to read what I wanted to say, every decision you make is written down by the angels. I type these things for free, and I have almost no audience, so I am not looking for money or fame, and I don't want to be seen as some kind of authority. I am simply another watchman who sees how little time the world has remaining, and I am spending some of it warning people.
