Why Divine Return’s Message is Important

Over the past few years, a number of people have revealed that they assumed that all of the information discussed by the characters in Divine Return was pure fiction and in no way accurate. Relatedly, when my content editor sent out a draft of Divine Return for comments from beta readers, some asked, "Is the information in the manuscript true?”

The short answer is yes. All of the events and information in the storyline and discussed by the characters are based on true events. The information was developed through research and on-the-ground investigative work. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

 Divine Return: Death Is Never The End covers a lot of topics: near-death-experiences, satanic child sacrifice, mind control, Nazi war crimes, ancient giants named in the Bible as Nephilim, the CERN Hadron collider, creation of the new world order, the existence of hell and the divinity of Jesus Christ.

Why cover such a diverse range of strange topics? Answer: I felt led to expose them because they are all biblically related; all are happening without most of us being aware, and like all evil that causes the suffering of the innocent, they need exposure. The Bible tells us: 

Ephesians 5:11 ESV

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness but instead expose them.

John 3:20 ESV

For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.

Now, with the world increasingly spinning out of control with wars, social and political upheaval, and unprecedented attacks on followers of Jesus Christ – witness the Paris Olympics' opening ceremony - now is the time to address some of the themes in the book.

One of the primary reasons for my writing Divine Return was to convince people that hell is real. Near-death-experience and afterlife-experience witnesses do the best job of confirming the horrors of hell that are seldom, if ever, heard in sermons or the media. Many people assume they'll go to heaven when, in fact, some NDE witnesses have postulated that only about 2-3% of the adult human population make it into heaven – a sobering statistic. The sad part is that many more could avoid hell if they just established a relationship with Jesus Christ and maintained that relationship like any child would with a loving parent. Yes, we all sin, but if we do our best to keep our hearts pure and repentant, we will always deflect our new sins back to the cross, where they will stay for all eternity.

Spoiler Alert! In Divine Return, the descriptions of Ben Chernick’s NDEs that took him to hell were based on actual reported experiences. A growing number of witnesses are reporting visits to hell in an after-life experience. Many are everyday people like you and me who are not looking for fame and fortune. An equally growing number of people are reporting visions about hell – YouTube is full of them.

Why would people embarrass themselves by making a short YouTube video and exposing themselves to ridicule for an event that never occurred? Many witnesses do not have ministries or online programs that generate a profit. Most simply report their experiences because they feel compelled to state the truth. As one could imagine, a trip to hell could be a devastating event that could result in temporary or permanent trauma.

Because of the unfathomable ramifications of rejecting Jesus Christ and ending up in hell, I felt compelled to cover the topic in detail in Divine Return to get readers to focus on the issue and think deeply about it.

The topics of satanic ritual abuse and mind control are often interrelated; therefore, I covered both topics. For those who scoff at the thought of either being actual organized practices, I must remind you that a multi-billion dollar criminal drug industry operates in our country without us witnessing the acts of illicit commerce – yet drug trafficking thrives under our very noses. Since satanic ritual abuse, which is often one component of organized mind control, is often practiced by individuals of great wealth and power, its concealment is not difficult for them to carry out.

In the many books written about the topic over the last several decades, one central theme emerges as to why such a horrific practice is conducted. The answer is simple: followers of Satan use the practice to release satanic power that grants them access to wealth and power – albeit temporarily.

Some satanically-related rituals and acts are conducted publically to unsuspecting fans. I detail the infusion of Satan worship into rock music in Final Departure: Death Is Never On Time. More recently, Irish singer Shane Lynch has publically stated that Taylor Swift has been engaging in satanic rituals during her Eras Tour. Lynch is quoted as saying, "I think you're looking at a lot of artists out there; a lot of their stage shows are satanic rituals live in front of 20,000 people without them recognizing. You’ll see a lot of hoods up and masks on and fire ceremonies.”

Victims of satanic ritual abuse also often report being victims of organized mind control operations. The satanic rituals are used to terrify the victims – usually children - to the point of the victim mentally fragmenting into multiple personalities that they unconsciously create to deal with the pain and suffering during highly structured torture. More recent versions of mind control tactics include highly advanced artificial intelligence devices that stimulate the creation of alternate personalities through the use of quantum physics tied to other dimensions. Satanic cult groups use those new personalities or distinct identities in an organized scientific fashion to achieve specific, evil goals through their victims who are enslaved to the cult. Most of us have encountered victims of mind control without being aware. Many victims - using what they term as their front alters - are capable of functioning in society and appearing as normal while they carry with them personalities trained to engage in criminal activity – sometimes even murder.

An online interview of a mind-controlled victim gives a chilling insight into the horrific practice that is all too real. Anneke Lucas is one of a number of victims of satanic ritual abuse and mind control who has come forward and publically described her abuse. She now interviews other survivors who have had induced dissociative identity disorder through structured physical and mental abuse. Her interview with Alandra Markman is one of many exposes that shed some light on the horrific hidden practices that are conducted in the name of Satan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ1tjCFBemc

One of the key facts in the interview is their revelation that victims of satanic cult enslavement are often born into the cult and selected for enslavement because of their specific blood type and bloodline that links them to ancient notables such as King Solomon. Mr. Markman revealed that his blood type is AB negative – a prized trait by Satanists looking for new cult members.

One of the many illuminating portions of their interview is their discussion of children and adolescents who are trapped in satanic cults is the cult’s practice of attempting to recruit victims who reach the age of 13 to become voluntary trainers of younger victims using the same methods of torture that they had endured. Markman revealed that the cult focused on attempting to recruit him from the age of 13 through 16. The cult used the promises of wealth, fame, and riches as inducements to join them voluntarily. When he refused, they tortured him with electric shocks. Those victims who decide to transition to victimizers must commit to 5 I wills. We see in Isaiah 14:13-14 that Satan pronounced five I wills:

You said in your heart,

    ‘I will ascend to heaven;

above the stars of God

    I will set my throne on high;

I will sit on the mount of assembly

    in the far reaches of the north;

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;

    I will make myself like the Most High.

While I believe we must be exposed to and recognize evil activity in our country and worldwide, we should neither become obsessed with uncovering the activity nor be paralyzed by fear. We should develop a healthy but balanced awareness of evil activities to address them - if and when we are afforded an appropriate opportunity to take action or report the activity to the cognizant authorities.

God did not give us a spirit of fear, but he did give us a sound mind to use to remain vigilant and engaged in our communities. I wrote Divine Return to heighten the readers' knowledge of hidden evil activities currently taking place, but more importantly, I wrote the book to remind all of us that Jesus Christ gave up his life for us while he was in the flesh on earth, and we should never forget that he stands ready to protect us when we humble ourselves and rely on his sovereign power and love.

Since we are facing unprecedented attacks, now is the time to pray to Father God and ask for His protection and guidance. The more people who pray, the greater the potential response.

Accordingly, I strongly urge you to share the prayer below with your family, friends, and fellow believers. You can modify or add to the prayer, which is meant to be a starting point.

Now is the time for action!

Heavenly Father, we ask you to heal our land and protect us from the evil one and his minions. We pray that you expose and bind the evil elites of the world who serve Satan and strive to create an unholy new world order.

We pray that you destroy the plans and works of the cabal of globalists who hate You, hate mankind, and want to destroy us, our way of life, and our ability to worship and serve You in peace and freedom.

Please give us the eyes to see and the ears to hear.

In Jesus' name, we pray.

In future posts, I will cover more of the topics presented in Divine Return.

Stay strong in your faith and close to Jesus Christ!

The total solar eclipse that will take place on April 8, 2024, is attracting a lot of attention. Is the concern of some that the eclipse will be a sign of the end times approaching justified, or is all of the eclipse talk just a lot of blather and bluster for entertainment purposes? Why should we care about a couple of hours of darkness falling on a tiny sliver of the United States?

If you're a follower of Jesus Christ and study the scriptures that describe the end times, such as the book of Revelation or the book of Daniel, you're probably paying careful attention to the events unfolding around the world. You suspect something is up.

If you're not a believer, you should be aware that the Bible describes how the world as we know it will come to a chaotic end – physically and supernaturally – and be replaced by a new earth that will be home to a new heaven with Jesus Christ reigning as King. 

Sound farfetched? Recall recent events such as the lockdown of most of the world during the COVID scare and the ongoing raging conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, and you might develop an appreciation for the prophetic accuracy of the Bible. The Bible documents that the end times will be preceded by an increase in plagues, wars, rumors of wars, and other natural disasters such as earthquakes.

With the foregoing in mind, the coming April 8 total solar eclipse could signal the approach of the end times, in the opinion of many. I can think of no other impending event that has garnered so much attention from Christian scholars and teachers, as well as secular influencers.

The coming total solar eclipse is noteworthy for believers for various reasons. To appreciate the significance of the April 8 event, however, we first need to examine the previous total solar eclipse of August 4, 2017. 

What was so unusual about the 2017 Great American Solar Eclipse, and why was it called the "Great American Eclipse?" Pundits created the name because it was the first total solar eclipse to touch the United States since a total solar eclipse occurred in 1776. The eclipse that took place during the year of our nation's birth lasted precisely one hour and thirty-three minutes.

Is the number 1:33 of interest? Interestingly, Psalm 133 is a call to unity: Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!

Some would say that God was using the sign of an eclipse at the birth of our nation to urge us to unify as a God-fearing and God-worshipping nation.

The Great American Eclipse of 2017 cast a shadow of darkness over 350 cities. One of the first major cities it passed over was Salem, Oregon. From there, during its southeasterly trek, the eclipse also passed over Salem, Idaho; Salem, Wyoming; Salem, Nebraska; Salem, Missouri; Salem, Kentucky; and Salem, South Carolina.

The solar eclipses exit point in South Carolina was over Fort Sumter, where the American Civil War began.

Was it just a coincidence that it passed over seven cities – all with the same name – Salem? Does the name Salem have any significance?

Salem is the word for peace, and the Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 proclaims Jesus Christ's title clearly: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called    Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Some might suggest that the total solar eclipse in 2017 was a warning from God to turn to Jesus Christ and make him Lord of one's life.

Does God use natural events such as an eclipse to send us messages and warnings?

In Genesis 1:14, we read, And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years,

In Psalm 19:1-3 we read, The heavens declare the glory of God,

and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day-to-day pours out speech, and night-to-night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.

Through the passages above, God gives us permission to look to the heavens for signs, information, and knowledge. He's telling us that He communicates with us via the stars as well as other methods.

In Luke 21:25 & 28, Jesus Christ is recorded as saying: "And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves,.. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

The sun went dark for three hours when Jesus Christ was on the cross on Golgotha. The darkness wasn't the result of an eclipse; God performed a miracle. God made a statement using the sun. Jewish scholars at the time recognized the darkness as the sign of Jonah the prophet – the meaning of which is detailed below. 

As a side note, civilizations throughout history, including Native Americans, the Chinese, Hindus, and ancient Jewish cultures, all saw solar eclipses as evil and apocalyptic.

With that said, why is the April 8 solar eclipse significant? First, solar eclipses are directional and finite - similar to the beam of a flashlight. The discrete area of total darkness is called the umbra shadow. The full eclipse will be seen in a relatively narrow path – approximately 115 - 130 miles wide – through parts of Mexico, 15 U.S. states, and Canada, although it will be partially observable in areas adjacent to the eclipse's path, which will be for the entire Americas. Most will observe a sudden drop in sunlight, while the umbra shadow will bring complete darkness in the areas it touches.

As described by the Prophecy Watchers, Alexis Katz, author of The Great American Writing on the Wall, tells us, "While eclipses are not that uncommon, total solar eclipses often occur over the ocean rather than on land. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking the 2017 eclipse was nothing out of the ordinary. While people were watching, day was turned to night all across the United States… and having another total solar eclipse cross the entire United States again in 2024, just seven years later, is unprecedented.

Lunar eclipses (blood moons) are of prophetic significance for Israel, whereas solar eclipses are of prophetic significance for Gentiles. It's well known that the United States has been the wealthiest, most powerful, and most influential Gentile nation. It is also a giant ethnic melting pot and hosts a proto-world government in the form of the United Nations.

Two total solar eclipses spaced seven years apart, crossing the entirety of the United States that form an X over the largest and main Gentile nation on earth should not be ignored...

No one can manipulate an eclipse or its narrow path of totality. Nobody can change the orbital mechanics of the planets, only God."

A footnote to Alexis Katz's commentary that is important to point out is that the United States is also the largest Christian nation in the world. We should also note that the number 7 is the number of completion.

As the eclipse begins to darken American soil on April 8, it will first pass over Eagle Pass, Texas, the first American settlement on the Rio Grande and currently a hotspot for Texas' attempted enforcement of state immigration laws.

Is Eagle Pass significant from a Biblical perspective? In Matthew 24:28, when Jesus described what would be the signs of the end of the days, He stated: For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. (KJV)  (Note: In a number of translations, the word vultures is used instead of eagles.)

Shelby Park, located in Eagle Pass, is so named because in June 1865, the Shelby Expedition, the last force of Confederate soldiers who refused to surrender to Union troops after the Civil War, retreated across Texas and made their way into Mexico. While crossing the Rio Grande near Fort Duncan, General Joseph Orville Shelby and his men ceremoniously buried a Confederate flag in the river.

Accordingly, the 2017 eclipse ended where the Civil War began – Fort Sumter, South Carolina, and the 2024 eclipse will start where the last act of the Civil War took place. As the Bible says in Matthew 20:16, So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

After passing over Eagle Pass, the eclipse will move northeasterly and pass over Jonah, Texas; Nineveh, Texas; Rapture, Indiana; Nineveh, Indiana; Nineveh, Ohio; Nineveh, Pennsylvania; Nineveh, NY; and Nineveh, Nova Scotia.

Some observers claim the eclipse will directly pass over only two Nineveh's, but other researchers disagree. Some say the umbra shadow will pass over eleven towns named Nineveh. I'll go with the majority that says the Umbra shadow will be close enough to enough towns named Nineveh to be noteworthy. I recommend you do your own research if you have doubts or questions.

Is the name Nineveh significant in any way?

Yes, in the book of Jonah, we read that God commands Jonah to travel to the city of Nineveh, where a cruel Assyrian King named Jeroboam II ruled at the time. God ordered Jonah to tell him and his subjects to repent of their evil ways within 40 days or face God's judgment. Of note, one of the Assyrian's accomplishments was the construction of a palace that glorified and memorialized the Assyrian army's slaughter of thousands of Jews. The city was considered to be one of the most evil in existence at the time.

As most know, Jonah initially refused to obey God, which led him to be swallowed by a whale after being thrown overboard from a ship at sea during a violent storm. The large mammal ultimately spit Jonah out, and, learning his lesson, Jonah proceeded to Nineveh and delivered God's message. Jonah's fear of visiting Nineveh was not without basis; Assyria was an arch-enemy of Israel at the time, and the city had begun to worship Ishtar, the goddess of immorality, sexual sin, prostitution, and adultery, around the year 2000 BC. For more information on Ishtar and her connection to the present conditions in the world, I suggest you check out my blog post, dated 1/23/24, entitled Idols of our Times.

Since a single angel dispatched by God had massacred 185,000 soldiers of the Assyrian army some years early outside of Jerusalem, the King took God's warning seriously and repented along with his people.

According to historians, Noah's journey took place in 763 BC. Was there anything else significant that happened in 763 BC? On June 15 of that year, according to NASA, a solar eclipse, known as the Assyrian solar eclipse, took place—the day that some Christian researchers identify as when Noah walked into the Assyrian palace and delivered God's warning.

Do we see parallels in today's world? What is the state of America today from God's perspective? Are we a God-fearing nation that rejects sin, or have we become a mecca for decadence and moral decay? I believe we are in the latter category - we have become the child trafficking and child pornography capital of the world.

How about April 8 or 4/8? Is there any significance from a Biblical perspective? Exodus 4:8 says, "If they will not believe you," God said, "or listen to the first sign, they may believe the latter sign."

Hmmm! Might we apply God's word to current events?

Another fact that should be noted is that the point where the 2017 and 2024 eclipses cross and form an X is called Little Egypt. Recall that God used ten signs or deadly events to warn Pharaoh that Moses spoke for Him, and His message was to release his people from slavery.

A closer look at the crossover point of the two solar eclipses reveals a town called Makanda, Illinois. In the same area is Giant City State Park. Within the park is a unique rock structure called the Devil's Stand Table. Strange? You bet when considered with all of the other odd coincidences. At a minimum, the area's double exposure to a total solar eclipse within seven years should get our attention.

Where does the 2024 Eclipse exit the continental United States? On its way out to sea, it touches the towns of Magog, Vermont; Moscow, Maine; Orient, Maine; and Burnt Church, New Brunswick.

As some observers say, the preceding is undeniable data. How you interpret it is up to you.

Will other unusual events take place on April 8? Yes, NASA has announced that it will fire three scientific-sounding rockets into the moon's shadow on Monday, April 8, during the solar eclipse across North America.

What's so special about a few rocket launches?

According to a March 26, 2024, Forbes Magazine article, NASA named its rocket launches after the "serpent deity from ancient Egyptian mythology, nemesis of the sun deity Ra." The mission's name will be APEP, which is the name of an ancient Egyptian deity of unbridled anarchy, sheer evil, darkness, and destruction. In the ancient texts, APEP swallows the sun god.

Also on April 8, the CERN Large Hadron Collider will be fired up to perform atom smashing experiments in search of dark matter – also known as the "God Particle." For those interested in CERN and its potential Biblical connections, you can find more details about CERN in my information novel Divine Return: Death Is Never The End. Suffice it to say that previous CERN officials have publically stated that one of the goals of CERN is to open portals to other dimensions. Why choose April 8 – the day of the total solar eclipse – for such an experiment? Only God knows (outside of the CERN administrators), but we may find out the unpleasant truth in the not-too-distant future.

If the preceding events are not enough to pique your interest, consider that shortly after the April 8 solar eclipse, for the first time in 221 years, two gigantic broods of periodical cicadas are set to emerge from the ground simultaneously in the U.S. to engage in a raucous mating frenzy.

The rare double cicada brood will include two of the largest cicada broods, which will co-emerge in the billions after having lived underground for 17 and 13 years, respectively. Brood XIII is expected to emerge in the Midwest, mostly around north-central Illinois, Ohio, and Iowa. Brood XIX will cover parts of Illinois, as well as a wider geographic area in the southeastern U.S., including Louisiana, Virginia and North Carolina.

In addition to the above, other ominous events will occur on April 8, such as the appearance of the Devil's Comet and the anniversary of Aleister Crowley's supernatural encounter in 1904 with a disembodied voice that claimed to be a messenger of the Egyptian Sun God, Horus, who directed him to write down specific verbiage that became "The Book of the Law." Crowley was one of the most satanic occult leaders of all time.

Last but not least is the alignment of five of the eight planets of our solar system on April 8. Earth will line up with Venus, Neptune, Saturn and Mars. I cannot tell you the prophetic significance of the alignment, but I can tell you the alignment is rare.

So, what are we to make of all the coincidences surrounding the total solar eclipses in 2017 and 2024?

First, I don't believe we should make definitive declarations about God's intent. We have the scriptures – God's Word - as our road map, but beyond that, we don't know what God's intent is with respect to the eclipses.

We can confidently say that our nation has adopted laws and cultural practices over the past several decades that have most assuredly grieved Father God. God is not only loving but also holy and just. Therefore, His perfect character demands that He judge sin, and our nation is a nonstop sin factory. 

To add insult to injury, President Biden just declared Easter Sunday to be "Transgender Visibility Day." Our nation's ostensible leader has now labeled the day we celebrate our Lord's resurrection as a day to celebrate a form of spiritual rebellion.

From abortion to child trafficking to outright Satan worship in our entertainment industry and our total exclusion of God from the public square, our collective actions as a nation must both sadden and anger our Heavenly Father.

The operative word to describe what we need to do as individuals and as a nation is repent.

We know from the Bible that God has a history of sending warnings to His people before taking action. Are those warnings about to end? Since we certainly deserve judgment, I recommend we pray for the following immediately:

·       Pray to Father God that he forgives our nation for turning our back on Him and becoming disobedient. Pray that He convicts the hearts or our nation's elected leaders and our citizens who have turned their back on Him.

·       Pray to Father God to have mercy on us for our past sins and allow us to turn from our wicked ways.

I also suggest that anyone reading this article who has not established a personal relationship with Jesus Christ do so now. Say a simple prayer of repentance for your sins and declare your true belief in the saving, redemptive power of Jesus Christ. Confirm your true acceptance of His sacrificial death for our sins.

Lastly, trust in the Lord for protection. Those who know the Lord personally will be protected from the harm that will surely befall our nation in the future. Pray that those who haven't made Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior do so before it's too late.
