Time to Embrace TIME & ETERNITY

Spirituality, , ,

David Allan Time And Eternity My new book Time & Eternity, The End-Times And Beyond Revealed has gone to the printer! After many months, I can convey to you this EXCITING AND IMPORTANT NEWS!
I know you care about God’s role in your life and in world events. An understanding of the way God’s time works in your life is critical to your spiritual, mental, physical, financial, and social health.

I’m a faith-filled physicist who specializes in precision timing: atomic, man’s, God’s, and His Eternity domain. I enjoy sharing unique insights into scientific and religious harmony to prove  God’s word. I believe His word is of infinite depth. I am delighted to share with you the understanding I believe He has given me. My book details the enormous benefits of this understanding.

The Book Premiere

We have been working hard to get ready for the upcoming Book of Mormon Evidence Conference (20-22 Oct. 2022) at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, Utah. I will be speaking there on Friday and Saturday. My publisher, Boyd Tuttle will be selling my book in his vendor booth and the Meldrums will be selling it as well. Boyd is presently offering a pre-order discount; see the link at the bottom of the page.

Divine ratio or Golden Mean

Early Monday morning exactly at the Vernal Equinox (20 March 2017, 4:28 AM MST), I was pondering the miracles associated with the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. I looked at the clock; I had the impression that the dimensions of this first printing were in the Divine ratio or Golden Mean = 1.618…

This ratio corresponds with the 51.8 degrees angle in the earthworks near Newark, Ohio, as the Jaredites mapped out the plan of salvation; and then the Nephites refined it. It is the same angle as the rise angle of the Giza Pyramid–depicting the golden mean there as well.

I got up and found a measuring tape and took a measurement of the height to the width of my replica of the first printing.  My heart warmed as I found it to be exact. This is another fingerprint of the Lord.  I have found no other book in our library having the divine ratio, and we have well over two thousand books on our shelves.

I felt impressed to have my new book be in the divine ratio: I chose this ratio to honor our Creator, who I believe inspired me to write the book in the first place and gave me the title: Time & Eternity, The End-Times And Beyond Revealed.

The Front Cover of My New Book

The front cover depicts the Earth transported from our solar system to its new millennial location. As our planet moves through space to its destination, the stars will appear to fall from the heavens. The continents reunite and much more in preparation for the new heaven and new earth as we move into a paradisiacal Sabbath-millennial glory.

A picture of the earth in this Garden of Eden like millennial state has never been painted or envisioned by anyone that I am aware of. In our cover design, we are not pretending we have the knowledge to depict this glorious abode for all those who accept Christ. Instead, we hope to share a feeling for this next step in Heavenly Father’s perfect plan of happiness.

God’s Blessed Land

Red, white, and blue are the colors on the American flag. They remind us that God has blessed the land of the free so greatly because of America’s Bible-based culture. Historically we have been a God-fearing people. It is the “Promised Land” spoken of in the Book of Mormon. It is the country the Bible speaks of to be an ensign to the nations (Isa. 11:10-16). I believe my new book will provide clarity as you seek truth in preparation for His Coming. It shares the beginnings of a hidden book of scriptures in our scriptures around the Adamic phase, “And it shall come to pass,” which tie to the Second Coming.

Most don’t Appreciate the Infinite Atonement; Its Power and Dimensions are Beyond Mortal Comprehension.

The Savior’s infinite atonement is the most important truth to consider and is the paramount theme in Time & Eternity, The End-Times And Beyond Revealed. It opens the door for all of us to receive eternal life, a fullness of joy, and a glorious resurrection. It is a supreme manifestation of God’s love. His infinite atonement will bring about the glorious millennial epoch. Then His atonement will perfect the earth after the millennium into celestial realms of glory, as the Savior presents His kingdom to the Father in Heavenly Father’s perfect plan of happiness.

God’s Infinite Love For All of Us

The research for the book has been very exciting for me to pull together! I paint a picture of God’s infinite love for all of us in His perfectly designed plan of happiness in spite of our imperfections. His infinite love is astronomical in dimensions. Even the lowest of the kingdoms He has prepared for His children is greater than and beyond our comprehension because we have a perfect and infinitely loving Heavenly Father and Savior.

We cannot perfect ourselves, but the Savior can. He will, too, as we come unto Him and partake of His incredible redeeming power cap-stoned by His glorious resurrection. My hope is that Time & Eternity, The End-Times And Beyond Revealed will reveal to you actionable ideas to bless your life and hope.

God’s Timetable

In the book, I share details of God’s timetable and what the glorious future looks like. As we see the world spiraling down in immorality, the book allows you to look beyond that, and to know the future and that we have every reason to be filled with hope, inspiration and His divine love, as you gain a deeper understanding of time and eternity.

Book Availability

My son-in-law, Kevn Lambson, who did a fabulous job of formatting my first book has done this one as well. Thank you, Kevn, for all of your diligent efforts in helping get this publication off the ground and to the printer today.

The book will be available at the 20-22 October 2022 Book of Mormon Evidence conference. However, as mentioned above, my publisher, Boyd Tuttle, is presently offering a pre-order discount for the book:   Time & Eternity, The End-Times And Beyond Revealed.

Blessing to all of you and thank you so much for your support.

PS I learned last night that next year on the 28th of January 2023 they are celebrating the Fiftieth Anniversary of the creation of the Boulder Stake in Boulder, Colorado. I served ten years as stake president and am the oldest living stake president for that stake. I was called as the first counselor in the new stake presidency as it was created in 1973. Then four years later, I was called to be the Stake President. One of the greatest blessings of my life was to serve those wonderful people in Boulder County.

Atonement – Timekeeping Algorithm – Zion Parallels

Science and Spirituality, Spirituality, ,

It is amazing how the Atonement, the Timekeeping Algorithm, and Zion align, all contributing to God’s perfect plan of happiness, as we move from time into eternity.

The scriptures give us this glorious picture of the Bride meeting the Bridegroom at His coming—a Zion, pure in heart society will meet the Lord with great rejoicing. As mortals, we are all sinners because of the Fall of Adam and Eve. As we repent, we know the infinite atonement totally covers our sins and gives us a glorious resurrection. I find significant parallels between the Lord’s infinite atonement and the time generation algorithm, AT-1, that I believe the Lord gave me back in 1968, as we move from time into eternity.

When I went to Boulder, Colorado to do my graduate work at the University of Colorado, atomic clocks were relatively new and how to best use their exceptional performance was just beginning to be appreciated. The first atomic clock was an ammonia maser, and that is what I first worked on as I was hired in by the National Bureau of Standards. Because of the significant improvements available from atomic clocks for timekeeping, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) changed the definition of the length of the “second” a year earlier (13 October 1967) from astronomical to atomic. Atomic clocks have enjoyed amazing improvements and are now a billion times better than any astronomical timing technique.

The AT-1 time-scale algorithm that I believe the Lord gave me back then has impacted the world timekeeping community substantially. Fifty-four years later, with improvements by my outstanding colleagues, AT-1 is still generating official time for the USA today, UTC(NIST).

I was personally invited to help Israel and Italy with their atomic-clock timekeeping systems and gave them the AT-1 time-scale algorithm. Several other countries have followed suit. The algorithm for international time, ALGOS, generated by the BIPM, UTC (Universal Time Coordinated), has some similar features, as the folks from the international community came to Boulder, CO, to learn about AT-1 after I had developed it.

Now as we look at Zion. It is a place that has been appointed by the Lord where his followers can live in peace and serve God. Zion will be known as the “City of Holiness and Refuge”, where the Lord’s people will be protected from the evils of the world.

Coexisting Concepts For the Plan of Happiness

You will see how the fascinating features of AT-1 tie to the atonement and Zion as I share the following:

Timekeeping AT-1 Algorithm and ZION parallels

1.  A fundamental assumption of the AT-1 algorithm is that every clock is wrong. Similarly, we are all sinners because of the Fall of Adam and Eve.
2.   With the appropriate corrections applied to each clock’s readings, AT-1 calculates an optimum weighting for each clock resulting in a calculated time output always better than the best clock in the ensemble. Similarly, using the infinite atonement each member of the Zion society uses their time and talents optimally in helping bring about a pure in heart people of one mind and one heart. Both AT-1 and Zion people be the best that they can.
3.   Even the worst clock optimally contributes to AT-1’s optimally calculated time. Similarly, even the least talented person enjoys using their time and talents optimally to bless the Zion society
4.   Any abnormal behavior of a clock is detected and fixed. Similarly, when someone stumbles, everyone helps them come to Christ, who perfectly knows how to fix them.
5.   Even in the short-term and in the long-term the AT-1 algorithm is optimized to be the best it can be. Similarly, the day-by-day activities of a Zion society and the long-term goal of eternal life for each member come to pass by following the Savior’s perfect example, as He brings forth Zion.
6.   Each clock’s performance is measured with each measurement cycle, and the artificial intelligence of AT-1 optimizes its contribution to the ensemble to be the best it can be. Similarly, each member of the Zion society comes to his or her full potential as they optimally contribute their time and talents in everything they do and are perfected through Christ’s infinite atonement.

“Zion must increase in beauty and holiness.” (D&C 82:14) As we move from time into eternity “time will be no longer” and we will move into God’s eternity domain.

The Message of Gladness

Spirituality

My wife, Edna, and I served a year and a half mission in Cote d’Ivoire, West Africa, in 1997-99 for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our theme for our mission was “The Message of Gladness” as we worked with the Saints and the wonderful people there.

The following is a summary of our amazing and unusual Missionary Farewell experience.

A Special Musical Composition

In preparation for our farewell, scheduled for July 1997 I asked our oldest son, Sterling, who was living with us at the time and was a very good pianist and composer, to prepare some music for us around the inspired architecture of the Washington D. C. Temple.

At the end of May, I was scheduled to go to Boulder, CO, to teach at their annual time and frequency seminar. Time was running out and we had not seen much progress with the composition. I asked Sterling if he wanted a priesthood blessing, and he said, “Of course, I would appreciate that.” It was a sweet blessing, and when we came back over a week later, we witnessed a miracle, as he had pretty much finished this amazing composition that my wife named, THE MESSAGE OF GLADNESS.

The Great and Abominable Church

Spirituality, ,

Chauncey C. RiddleGuest Post:  Chauncy C. Riddle and I have been very good friends for a long time.  His understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ and his political awareness is unmatched.   Chauncey C Riddle is a Professor Emeritus of Philosophy from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. He is a religious leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He has written many articles for the Ensign, Sunstone Magazine, and BYU Studies. He has also written countless articles and has published the milestone  book entitled, “Think Independently,” that everyone should read.

Some Things to Know About “The Great and Abominable Church”

  1. It is found among every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, and covers the whole earth.
  2. It is operated under the direct control of Satan.
  3. It has its own temples, ordinances, and priestly vestments.
  4. It has its own gospel, which is taught everywhere and is believed by most of the educated and by many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
  5. It tries to either capture or drive out every other church and is very close to doing so.
  6. It fosters abortion, artificial birth control, and euthanasia.
  7. It tries to destroy the Ten Commandments and Christian standards.
  8. It pretends to be like a democracy but it is actually totalitarian.
  9. It is the most influential force in the world.
  10. It is in your face every day of the world.

But almost no one talks about it. Most people do not realize it exists. But it is doing the task God has assigned it to do and makes the blessings of the New and Everlasting Covenant possible to be received and enjoyed for everyone who deliberately rejects it in favor of Faith in Jesus Christ.

Game Changer – The Lord’s View

Spirituality, ,

My incredibly challenging goal is to try and look through the Lord’s eyes at His beyond-description perfect plan of happiness and the beyond-comprehension promises He has for His children. While the world seems to be spiraling down, I believe the Lord’s people are spiraling up in preparation for his glorious reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.

Modern Theories Are Leading Us Astray

Most people of the world are looking to science for answers. For me, much of modern science is in the “dark ages.” While technology and technological developments have skyrocketed, modern science theories are leading us astray.

Their model of how life came to be is based on the theory of organic evolution. Which has been proven false. Modern cosmology assumes the “Big Bang” theory is how the universe came into being. That theory has been proven false, as well.

We learned in our research on the Unified Field Theory (UFT) in 1999-2005 with seven experiments that science was missing key ingredients in the Lord’s physics. It was exciting to get a taste of those in our research. We learned of a fifth dimension, which we called the Eternity domain, where God and His angels do their work of bringing to pass the immortality and eternal life of Father’s children. We also learned of diallel-field lines, which, among other things, tie into an infinite store of energy and explain our prayer channel to God.

Repent and Be Converted

The people of the world worry about saving the world. The Lord’s main focus is on saving souls, which should be our primary focus as well. As the Apostle Peter boldly proclaimed, “Repent ye therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19).

Dr. Avraham Gileadi, who is our church’s best expert on Isaiah has written a new book, Modern Idolatry and the End of the World. In summary, whenever we voluntarily put anything above God, it is idolatry, and the world is full of this happening in every direction, as Satan knows it is his last chance before the Lord Comes to deceive and blind the masses.

You can find a lot more detail on Abraham’s website, Isaiah Institute. He has a very insightful article (May 7, 2022) where Isaiah describes the sins of our day that is well worth reading and pondering.

My view is that idolatry is rampant. The world is more about things, being entertained, sports, computer games, and making money than praising and honoring our infinitely loving God. My personal goal is to honor Him in everything I do.

The Work of Nicola Tesla

An important current technological perspective can be gained from Nicola Tesla’s experiments showing electrical energy transfer at a distance. I have all of Tesla’s patents, and I studied his work when we were doing our UFT experiments. They were very helpful. Very few Americans have picked up on Tesla’s work; however, the Russians have done some experiments that indicate they have technologies resembling Tesla’s–causing fires and earthquakes and destroying weapons, all at a distance.

Putin Holds The Trump Card

I heard a talk by Vladimir Putin, where he shared that he learned on the streets of Moscow to always try and avoid a fight, but if a fight is inevitable, then get the first blow. I know quite a bit about their technology capabilities – having written chapters in a book about their capabilities. I have been there four times over 30 years to give talks, and the last two were invited. I have witnessed massive changes. The number of Christians per capita has increased dramatically. I have learned that all Twelve Tribes of the House of Israel are in their patriarchal blessings. They are, in part, the prophesied Assyrian assault that will attack America, if we don’t repent, but Zion will stand (Isa. 10:24). I think Putin holds the “trump card,” and he knows it.

A Purging is Coming

Many fear what they see as troubling times ahead—given the world situation, and indeed, a purging is coming, but the degree depends on our repentance. Our only hope is in Christ. It is so important that we take inventory to see if we are caught up in any degree of idolatrous activities and the sins of Babylon, which are so pervasive. Hugh Nibley aptly says, “You cannot have one toe in Babylon and have Zion!”

A Game Changer

My new book is about hope and coming to taste God’s infinite love for each of us in His perfect plan of happiness and knowing how to plan for the future. I believe my book, when it gets published this fall, will be a game changer, as you come to learn and see what I have come to learn and see as I have done the research for it–how to prepare for the days ahead and to know what is coming. It is my prayer that you will be greatly benefited by the book’s contents; it is loaded. We live in the most exciting time in the history of the earth. We have every reason to hope for a bright future as we better come to understand His Perfect Plan—filled with love for each of us. The purging ahead is a preparation for a very bright future in that perfect plan. If we are prepared, we will not fear (D&C 38:30), but have hope and God’s love in our hearts.

The Prophet Who Saw Our Day

Spirituality, ,

However, the Prophet Moroni goes on to give the Lord’s great promise for our day, to the righteous of the Gentiles, and of the House of Israel, which I share below. In so sharing, I open insights into the magnitude of the contributions of this great prophet in the past and yet in the future.

Moroni’s father, Mormon, tells of a grand repository in the Hill Cumorah, which was in upstate New York in the township of Palmyra, where he kept a room full of records. These were transferred from the Hill Shim, where Mormon first got them. These records contained thousands of years of history going all the way back to its creation. These records, “handed down by our fathers” include the “Brass Plates,” which covered much more information than is in our Bible up to 600 BC.

In 385 AD, the Nephite nation was destroyed. The surviving Prophet Moroni spent 36 years alone after this terrible civil war, where his father, Mormon, was killed–here in America. It was a war much worse than our own American Civil War, and during these 36 years, he still had access to the grand repository.

Hurrah for Israel

Spirituality, ,

Now we can say, “Hurrah for Israel” as we are seeing amazing numbers of Jews coming to Christ. When Israel was made a state in 1948, there were only 30 Messianic Jews in the whole state. Now there are over 20,000 and growing rapidly. There are 250,000 Messianic Jews in the United States and 350,000 around the world, and again increasing rapidly.

Edna and I just enjoyed a powerful Academy Award Winning, documented film, The Other Side of Heaven. It comes from John Groberg’s journal documenting miraculous missionary success in the Tongan Islands. As they rejoice in the Lord’s blessing, the phrase, coming from their hearts, “Hurrah for Israel”  touched our hearts.

The Coming of the Messiah

The Jews believe that in preparation for the coming of their Messiah there will be a Mashiach ben Yoseph or Messiah ben Joseph and a Messiah ben David. I believe Messiah ben Joseph is Joseph Smith spoken of in Isaiah 11:10 (D&C 113:5-6). Messiah ben David is yet to come and will play a major role in preparation for the Lord’s Coming, as shared by Dr. Avraham Gileadi in his several outstanding books on the “Book of Isaiah”. The Savior speaks of this Servant in 3 Nephi 21:8-11.

Even though most Jews do not believe that Christ is the Messiah, The Jews feel they are at a turning point as the number of Jews in Israel is now greater than in any other country—including the USA. They feel this has implications regarding Torah Law and the need to reintroduce some ancient practices spelled out in the Torah. They believe that if they repent, they can avoid some of the destruction prophesied.

The following video has excellent insights into why the Jews, in general, don’t believe in Jesus, and some great suggestions of what can be done to help more of them turn to Jesus (Yeshua): The 3 Reasons Why Jews Don’t Believe In Jesus & Israel Evangelism Report (By Eitan Bar) – YouTube.

Now is the Time to Repent

Like the Jews, it is critical for the people in the USA to repent.  This is the Promised Land which was given to the Tribe of Joseph. Or, as the Lord has decreed, (Ether 2:10) they will be swept off. We have been given our inspired Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Let their truths ring throughout the land and help bring about repentance.

Who is Israel?

I asked that question of the Lord while setting in the Denver Temple back in 1986. I spent months researching it and found great insights. In summary, a true Israelite is someone who puts their hand in the hand of the Lord to do His will in their lives. We become ONE with God in that exalting process. Let us live and share and shout, “Hurrah for Israel!”

Historian Flavius Josephus Testifies of Christ

Spirituality, , , ,

Flavius Josephus, the Jewish priest, scholar, and historian was born 37/38 in Jerusalem. He wrote valuable works on Jewish history, including the final Jewish revolt of 66–70 AD–including Masada, 73 AD. He wrote of Christ, “About this time there lived Jesus if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who  performed surprising deeds and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly.” Without the writings of Josephus, we would have very little access to the events and history of the people of his time. He had dreams and was taught by the Lord.

Jew – Roman – Christian

I believe Flavius Josephus was and is the most essential historian ever to know that Jesus is the Christ.  We all have unique missions.  I believe he was highly unusual as we see him as a Jew, and a Roman, and surprising to almost everyone, there is substantial extent evidence that later in his life he became a Christian Bishop in Jerusalem.

The infinite atonement of our Savior had just exploded its paramount relevance in providing salvation for the world.  The Promised Messiah not only came with His message of salvation but perfected Heavenly Father’s plan of happiness with His infinite atonement—provided a resurrection for all in due process. “And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.” (Matt. 27:52-53).

Fifty days later at Pentecost, thousands were joining “The Way”—the Christians and their contagious love for one another and for their enemies was greatly inspiring all who observed them.  This contagious love brought many of those observers into the fold as well–including later on in his life, Josephus. Three years after Jesus’ resurrection, Josephus was born (37 AD), and as an observer, he was deeply touched by the Christian conversion rate explosion.

 Josephus’ Heritage and Works

If you read Wikipedia about Josephus, they paint him as a Benedict Arnold traitor—not surprising given the world’s atheistic put down of anything Christian. His writings and life disprove this notion.

He was born of noble Jewish heritage, and because of his incredible mental dexterity and leadership, he was greatly respected by Jews and Gentiles. He became close friends with the Emperors Vespasian and Titus.

In his autobiography, he shares, “I made mighty proficiency in the improvement of learning and appeared to have both a great memory and understanding.” Through the 16th – 19th years of his life, he spent with Banus, who lived “in the desert and used no other clothing than grew upon trees, and had no other food than what grew of its own accord, and bathed himself in cold water frequently, both by night and by day, in order to preserve his chastity.”1

Josephus did most of his writing in Rome. I have the book, “The Works of Josephus; Complete and Unabridged – New Updated Edition,” translated by William Whiston. I have learned a great deal from this two-column, small-print, 926-page book, which includes his autobiography (THE LIFE OF FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS), THE ANTIQUITIES OF THE JEWS, THE WARS OF THE JEWS, and several other documentaries—including the extent letter in Greek he apparently wrote about Hades while serving as a Christian Bishop.2

Josephus  Authorship of the ANTIQUITIES

The authorship of ANTIQUITIES goes back to the creation—beginning with, “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth;”3 His writings parallel some ten thousand verses of scripture from the Old Testament and including some from the Apocryphal writings and often give a lot more detail than what we have in scripture.4

Josephus felt God’s protection throughout his life and received guidance in his pursuits. On one occasion amidst the Romans’ and Jews’ battles’, “But wonderful it was what a dream I saw that very night; for when I had betaken myself to my bed, as grieved and disturbed at the news that had been written to me, it seemed to me, that a certain person stood by me, and said, ‘O, Josephus, leave off to afflict thy soul and put away all fear; for what now grieves thee will render thee very considerable, and all respects most happy; for thou shalt get over not only these difficulties but many others, with great success.  However, be not cast down, but remember thou art to fight with the Romans.’”5

He had other heavenly visits and helps throughout his life. 6 When we do things God’s way, we find peace in the midst of the storms. No matter where he fought or what he did for the Jews or the Romans, God was with him. He tried to keep the Jews from fighting the Romans because he knew of the Romans’ great strength, but when his own people solicited him, he fought for them. As in our “Star-Spangled Banner,” “Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just.”

Lessons from the Destruction of Jerusalem

Later, the Lord allowed the Romans to destroy Jerusalem, because of their wickedness, as Jesus prophesied. (Matt. 24:1-2) This is like Isaiah prophesied of the Assyrian assault which will occur against this “hypocritical” nation—the Promised Land of America—unless her people repent and come to Christ. (Isa. 10:5-6) As with Jerusalem, so with America, unless we repent He has “created the waster to destroy.” But the righteous have the promise that “no weapon…shall revile against… the servants of the Lord…” (3 Nephi 22:16-17)

Over the entrance of the Norlin Library on the University of Colorado Campus is the inscription by George Norlin, “Who knows only his own generation remains always a child.” Josephus wrote in detail about the final destruction of Jerusalem. Knowing history allows us to build upon the insights, inventions, and truths brought forth by others, while also learning from their mistakes that hopefully, we will not repeat.

Historical Witness of Christ

Again, I believe we all have unique missions for our mortal journey, but I believe Josephus stands out as a historical primary witness of Christ, and God was with him as part of the Divine Law of Witnesses. The second historical and spiritual witness of the Christ is the Book of Mormon and we have L. Taylor Hansen’s great book, He Walked the Americas. When I got her book, I couldn’t put it down and stayed up all night reading it.

If we ask the question, “What is the most important historical truth we can build our lives upon?” I believe it is to know the Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. The Bible has done more good than any other book because of its most important message of the Christ. The Book of Mormon is another witness for Christ. The Book of Mormon has brought more people to Christ per capita of those who have read it than any other book. It became available to the world exactly ten years after the FIRST VISION of the Prophet Joseph Smith. The fingerprint of the Lord was evident as the first 5,000 copies were printed in the Divine ratio. Christ is mentioned five times more often in the Book of Mormon than in the Bible. Knowing and believing and internalizing the great truths in that book leads to the greatest happiness in this life and eternal life beyond the veil. (John 17:3; 3:16)

I see Josephus’ life and writings helping in a major way to know the truth about the Promised Messiah, who came and is coming again.  These witnesses are critically needed at this time. The woke and millennials have most probably never heard of Josephus; yet, we have a profound historical witness for them of Christ in Josephus’ writings.  It is the Christ who can and will solve the problems the woke and millennials face if they will but come unto Him. In addition, we see serious moral decay throughout the world in large measure because we haven’t learned important lessons from history.

The atheistic New World Order folks would use this moral decay to make us slaves and to depopulate the world—according to their agenda. On the other hand, we have a lot of people waking up to their evil intent and more-and-more are turning to Christ with His great promise: “Ye shall know the truth and the truth will make you free… If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” (John 8:32, 36)  I gave a lecture on this pivotal scripture, and you can find the link for it at the end of this article.

William Whiston –  the Translator

William Whiston, who translated Josephus’ writings lived 35 years after Sir Isaac Newton. Newton was his mentor. Newton was born on Christmas Day in 1642. Whiston was an English theologian (Pastor), historian, natural philosopher, mathematician, and a leading figure in the popularization of Newton’s enormous contributions, as the greatest scientist ever.

Whiston succeeded his mentor Newton as a Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. Newton, as a devout Christian student, had proved that the Church of England was wrong in many aspects of their theology, which threatened him from having fellowship at Trinity College, and he was willing to lose this distinguished position rather than compromise his beliefs. He and his friends petitioned King Charles II, and the King granted him exemption from “all holy orders.”

Whiston knew the life of Josephus probably better than anyone, and like Newton, he saw problems in the Church of England’s theology. As a pastor, Whiston was more vocal about his beliefs, and in 1710 he lost the professorship and was expelled from the university.  Whiston rejected the notion of eternal torment in hellfire, which he viewed as absurd, cruel, and an insult to God.

What especially pitted him against church authorities was his denial of the doctrine of the Trinity, which he believed had pagan origins. Which doctrine young Joseph Smith was told by God, “their creeds were an abomination in his sight…” (JS-H 19) Thanks be to God, that great vision opened the door for the world to know the true nature of God, which is eternal life. (John 17:3) Did you know the date of the first was so important that it was foretold in Enoch’s calendar? The Date of the First Vision | It’s About Time (itsabouttimebook.com)

Today, we owe a great debt of gratitude to William Whiston for providing the best English translations of the “Complete and Unabridged” works of Flavius Josephus. With the world spiraling down in anti-Christian and atheistic-satanic harassments against truth and light, we have this greatest historian—Flavius Josephus’—counterattack. It is Christ and only  Christ who can give us ultimate freedom, salvation, and exaltation. To Him and His Father, we owe praise, honor, and glory for their Perfect Plan of Happiness.

Optimum Living and Fullness of Joy

Spirituality, ,

David Allan Time And EternityA Brief Introduction To The Book

We can think of the Earth being like a space-ship traveling through time and eternity, and we are now at a critical juncture in the sufferings and challenges of mortality–a juncture that will bring about the end of worldliness, as we enter into the glorious millennial epoch.  Most importantly, I share how the ideal society (Optimum living and fullness of joy) will come out of the denouement our Lord has prepared. It is a book of hope and manifests the infinite love our Heavenly Father in His perfect plan of happiness brought about by the infinite atonement of His Beloved Son, which has seven steps to it.

The Decline In Our Western Morality

Douglas Murray just wrote another bestseller, The War on the West, with 503 reviews on Amazon since 26 April 2022—82% five stars. Jordan Peterson just did a podcast with Douglas Murray about his new book. It is a very scholarly, but a godless perspective, on what is now causing the decline in our Western morality and why. Many of these same problems have already occurred throughout the world, as he points out in this new book as well as in his other books

Looking Through God’s Eyes

Within my mortal limitations, as a God-loving Christian, I choose to look through God’s eyes, as best I can, to know where we are in His timetable and the glorious future He has in store for the righteous who repent with full purpose of heart and come unto His Beloved Son. I share what we can best do now, and what the path forward looks like as our Savior leads us back to the Father in His “One-eternal-round” glorious chiasmus for His spaceship called Earth. The great suffering and enormous challenges we now see throughout the world will have an incomprehensible denouement for the end-times now unfolding and beyond.  This you will see described in the book.

Three Gospels

In Chapter Five, for example, I explain how the Lord has given us three gospels to best help us prepare for His glorious Second Coming. By the word “gospel,” I take the Greek meaning: “the good news.” I explain in detail how these three gospels are the most important things the Lord has given us to prepare for His coming.

1. The gospel of the good earth will help us overcome the pollution of the earth, and how to have maximum health in body, mind, and spirit.

2. The gospel of the Bible will help all who believe in our Lord and Savior make it into the millennium where He will gloriously reign for a thousand years as King of kings and Lord of lords.

3. Then all who accept and live the fullness of the gospel will be delivered by the Son to the Father at the end of the millennium into celestial realms of glory–and into optimum living and a fullness of joy.

Because of my work with atomic clocks, I see the optimum living opportunity in a Zion society as like an ensemble of such clocks. Like people, each clock is different. Each clock has different time and performance characteristics. I believe the Lord gave me the algorithm back in 1968 to optimally combine the readings of an ensemble of atomic clocks (like an ideal society) so that the characteristics of each is fully utilized. This optimally combined ensemble then generates a time that is better than the best-contributing clock, and even the least of the performing clocks enhances the output. Just like in a Zion society, the time and talents of each individual are optimally used to help in bringing perfection to the whole of that society. As we learn and grow, the whole becomes better, because everyone is motivated by the pure love of Christ.

With improvements by my outstanding colleagues, that algorithm (AT-1) is still ticking today to provide official time for the USA. It is continually getting better as the contributing clocks get better. Timing accuracy has improved a billionfold in my life. AMAZING!

So in contrast to the worldview, which sees the world spiraling down in moral decay, my book is filled with hope and divine resolution—denouement for the world play in Father’s perfect plan of happiness in spite of all our imperfections.  The infinite atonement of our loving Lord and Savior is open to all who repent with full purpose of heart and come unto Him. My book also helps those who have lost faith; we see atheism increasing, and my book is a counter to that.

C.S. Lewis

As I share in my previous book, It’s About Time, C. S. Lewis during his teenage and apostate years, felt that the strongest force for atheism was expressed in a poem by Lucretius:

Had God designed the world, it would not be A world so frail and faulty as we see.

After J. R. R. Tolkien and others of his friends, persuaded Lewis to deeply consider Christianity, it turned his life around. As he considered Christ, he came to the conclusion that “only two views of this man are possible.

“Either he was a raving lunatic of an unusually abominable type, or else He was, and is, precisely what He said. There is no middle way. If the records make the first hypothesis unacceptable, you must submit to the second. And if you do that, all else that is claimed by Christians becomes credible — that this Man, having been killed, was yet alive, and that His death [and His glorious resurrection], in some manner incomprehensible to human thought, has affected a real change. . . in our favor.”

After gaining his deep appreciation for Christianity, in regard to evil, pain, and the suffering that comes with life, Lewis poignantly states that if you “Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free will involve, . . .you find that you have excluded life itself.” He goes on to say, let us get on with living the two great commandments. (Matt. 22:36-40)  If all would do that, we would have the optimum living. It is my hope and prayer that my new book will do that–sharing the incredible promises the Lord has in store for the faithful and the righteous. His love is infinite.

The Bible is not a Myth

Spirituality, , ,

The Bible is not a Myth. The notion that the Bible is a myth can be proven to be incorrect.  Unfortunately, a survey showed that 93% of the leading American scientists believed the Bible to be a myth. I will prove them wrong in one extremely important historical case.

In My Search for Truth

In my search for truth, as a believing scientist, I have three criteria: 1) If God says it, then I know; 2) I know a theory or hypothesis cannot be proven true. We don’t know enough; exceptions to the theory or hypothesis may yet be found that contradict it.  Only God knows enough to prove a theory or hypothesis true. And 3) If valid data exist, then a false theory or hypothesis can be proven false. Numbers 1) and 3) are extremely powerful in knowing the truth or what isn’t, respectively.

How to Prove – The Bible is Not a Myth

In the following, I share that “the theory that the Bible is a myth” is false in regard to the most important event in the history of the world–the infinite atonement of our Lord and Savior.
