Preface

‘Tell the Story…’

This is about an unusual kind of miracle, if that’s what it should be called. It stretches the laws of probability to an extreme I previously had not experienced.

In 2005, when Bible reading brought me to Isaiah 6:8, I hesitated long enough to consider the dialogue between the prophet and the Lord. Isaiah overheard God speaking: Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?

Isaiah said, Here am I. Send me.

I prayed the same five words. The next day I started perceiving a pattern in Isaiah’s prophetic imagery looking beyond the life of Jesus on earth to the era of his prophesied Second Coming on what the Bible refers to as the Day of the Lord.

This was a noteworthy first for me because for a half-century before then I had read biblical prophecies with great fascination but negligible understanding. Suddenly, I was beginning to make sense of some of the Bible’s most mysterious passages.

Within weeks the number of pertinent prophetic images I was finding reached forty. All of them supported my first impression concerning the identity of the celestial sign of Jesus’s Second Coming (Mat.24:30). I decided to write a manuscript. In 2007 it was published as a book, The Sign of His Coming.

Historic Events

The sudden recognition of forty previously unnoticed biblical mages surprised me, but amazing things were yet to happen. The next time I read through the Bible’s historical records, I found two-dozen important events adding much more evidence to that which had been presented in the original book.

After finishing my research, which included the use of scientific methodology, I wrote a second manuscript. It contained more than 200 points of evidence including and expanding the primary points of the first book.

Most of the points were enhanced by sub-points. For example, one of the images in evidence appeared in dozens of Day of the Lord prophecies. There were also multiple points of evidence related to each of the historic events.

I hold a degree in mathematics and, according to my calculation, by that time the pile of factual evidence had grown to the point of virtual certainty identifying the sign of the Lord’s Second Coming.

Equally important to the supporting weight of evidence was the lack of evidence to the contrary. I searched but could not find a single point of scriptural or scientific evidence opposing the identification of the sign that had sprung from my research.

If all of the evidence could be placed on a scale, the weighty side would fall with a crash. This is so important that it seems as if God wants us to be sure.

I wrote a proposal for the second manuscript and submitted it to a literary agent. I thought it was going to be printed by a major Christian publishing house. However, the agent could not place the manuscript with a publisher.

The agent’s failure left me in a state of dejection. I believed God had initiated this project and could not understand why it had failed. I had no idea how things could turn around. But they did.

Mysterious Message

A short time after the agent’s failure, I received a mysterious e-mail message from a well-respected Christian publisher who never had printed a book of mine. Since my name was practically unknown in publishing circles outside of the world of sports, I didn’t think I had written anything that would interest this publisher.

He hadn’t read any of my books. I hadn’t queried him. He didn’t even know the theme of my new manuscript. The only thing he knew about me was that I had written What the Bible Has to Say about the U.S.A. But that book already had been printed by a smaller Christian publishing house.

In spite of what appeared to be an enormous heap of negativity, he informed me that he wanted to publish my book, period, no questions asked, no formal proposal necessary, not even preliminary review of the manuscript.

At a time when Christian publishers were depending more and more on author subsidies, he offered me a traditional contract. I paid no subsidy fees.

In May of 2017, a little more than a year after the book was published, there was another disappointment. The publisher informed me that he was going out of business and would print no more books.

At that point, including all sources, only a few copies of my new book had been distributed. I had sold four. I had given two away. I’m not sure how many were sold through the publisher’s website or Amazon.com, but it wasn’t enough to qualify me for a royalty check.

Personal circumstances and ill health in the family had practically eliminated the time I ordinarily would have spent promoting the book. So there I was with the book I considered my most important fading into obscurity.

Rare and Valuable
