A Modern-Day Prophetic Experience & Witness of Jesus in History, Movies, Music and Sports

Introduction

The Great Invitation is a unique witness of Jesus. This is also a modern-day prophetic experience that honors the true spirit of Bible prophecy - not to predict the future but to speak boldly into the present.

Since I’m claiming angelic intervention, this book is written from the viewpoint of angels, specifically, an army of angels. So WE, OUR or US in the narrative is the voice of this angel army.

Sometimes, a human religious or spiritual experience begins with something gone terribly wrong. A tragedy evokes a deep sense of separation from a natural yearning for what’s good and right. Surely, the first followers of Jesus who witnessed or heard about his crucifixion knew this feeling. Then came news of resurrection! The divine finds a way to break through your pain and show you something sacred.

Early Jewish Jesus followers found the divine in the Old Testament Christ prophecies. The descriptions of a suffering messiah were the fuel that created a new religious movement that changed the world.

The Great Invitation has that in common with the birth of Christianity - it starts with tragedy. Our prophetic experience was fulfilled on a day Americans will not forget: The mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012.

The intention here, through our prophetic experience and corroborating evidence, is to prove that evil on December 14, 2012 did not have the last word. Jesus Christ was present and judged evil on that tragic day. And we have the receipts!

Our redemptive message is that good wins over evil in the end. So choose love now!

The Great Invitation will also show “fingerprints” of our prophetic experience on historical events since the Bible was written and on your popular culture (movies, music and sports). This makes our Great Invitation more relatable for non-believers.

For believers, we will show you that our witness of Jesus works with what He said about His return in the Gospels (👑Mark 13👑, 👑Matt 24👑 and 👑Luke 21👑).

This is NOT a new position associated with the return of Jesus. The Great Invitation provides modern evidence that supports the Preterist theory. Preterists hold that the prophecies about the return of Jesus were partially fulfilled with the destruction of the Second Temple and the holy city of Jerusalem in 70AD.

The Great Invitation adds a giant, modern-day EXCLAMATION POINT to the Preterist theory.

Are we saying The Great Invitation is THE big event? Could our project be the second coming of Jesus? Maybe. There are many possibilities here. At a minimum, this is a remarkable witness of Jesus. But we believe all things are possible with God!

We can say definitively that the Great Invitation is THE FIRST DETAILED, POSSIBLE SCENARIO for the return of Jesus.

The second coming of Jesus is the great hope for Christians! It is associated with the end of the world. But you are all going to die someday. Is it possible that Jesus returns when YOU meet him in the afterlife? And the best He can do in the meantime is give you a sneak preview of this experience with surround sound and in IMAX 3D? We (an army of angels) HOPE this e-book leads to that experience at a theater near you!

The original Greek New Testament uses the word parousia to refer to the second coming of Jesus. It’s defined as an appearance or presence that consists of several comings that are stages of a continuous process. The Great Invitation certainly fits this description since it is a prelude to our epic movie.

If you find our speculation about the second coming of Jesus crazy or offensive, think of this prophetic experience as God’s response to the Sandy Hook mass shooting tragedy. Do you think that horrible day is acceptable to the God described in the New Testament? We think NOT!

This is a common sense approach to Christian “end times” prophecy. We make no fantastic predictions about the future. No seven year tribulation. And no Christians conveniently disappearing (before the seven year tribulation) so they can watch non-believers suffer on earth.

If you are looking for the Jesus who comes back to physically “catch you up” and take you out of your world, you won’t find him here. The Jesus witnessed in The Great Invitation will try to “rapture” your heart spiritually in the here and now!

The book in the Bible most associated with fantastic predictions is Revelation.

We will show you how the Great Invitation works with the second coming of Jesus as described in the Book of Revelation!

If you don’t get Revelation, you aren’t alone. It’s the only book in the Bible that cannot be understood at the intuitive level just by reading the text. We hope to clarify Revelation for you.

After you read our book, we want you to think of two words when you think of Revelation:

WEDDING INVITATION

The Great Invitation!

We want you to believe that when your time comes, you are the guest of honor at a great wedding party in eternity!

The groom is Jesus. The bride is all the people on the earth. EVERYONE ALL IN! At least that’s our mission. Remember, WE are angels so we believe in miracles! Our orders from God are to accomplish our mission BEFORE the end of the world. Jesus wants NO ONE “left behind.”

We intend to provide enough evidence for non-believers to accept our Great Invitation. If you are already a believer, we hope our Great Invitation helps your faith grow even more.

The Great Invitation is a prophecy that originated in America, born as a nation of laws not men. So we will present our witness of Jesus in the loose format of a court case brief. There will be an opening statement, presentation of facts and closing summary.

Our case brief format also works with our wedding theme since, in America, marriage is a legal contract.

Wedding receptions are parties where family and friends celebrate love! So we will end our book with a special, symbolic wedding party. It is an epic event you probably already attended, at least remotely, on earth.

The God of the Bible is relational! That’s why in 👑Revelation 19👑 Jesus returns in the context of a great wedding invitation. We call it The Great Invitation!

The Book of Revelation used people and current events from the Roman culture of its day to communicate its prophetic message. We are doing something similar here with people and current events from American culture.

In that spirit, we will end The Great Invitation with a special musical message from the groom - Jesus himself! Any guesses who Jesus used to deliver his musical message?

Spoiler alert! Here is a sneak peek at our message from Jesus:

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dear people on our virtual jury (#12),

You have read our evidence and heard from our witnesses. The heir to David’s throne (#14) has given you confirmation of his gift of salvation. The great I AM is tired of waiting (#20) for your verdict on earth!

In heaven, The Great Invitation is NOT a jury trial. I Jesus (#8) AM the judge (#9) in this case so you don’t have to guess the verdict here. God rules from the bench in heaven.

This case was always predetermined in heaven. So there is a victory celebration. It’s a wedding party!

The only question in the unseen world is how many souls will celebrate with me at my great wedding party in eternity! Oh yes, there is music and dancing at my party!

If you aren’t hearing my marriage proposal through my American Evangelical Christian flock, please forgive them. Most evangelicals have no clue how to reach unbelievers. Pronouncements of hellfire damnation might feel good but they don’t work! The Great Commission requires a more invitational approach.

So I recruited someone to deliver a special musical message. She was born on 12/13/1989 in Pennsylvania where she lived on a Christmas tree farm. After learning guitar at age 12, she started writing songs immediately. At age 14, her family to Nashville in 2004 in support her goal to break into the country music scene.

Imagine now that I AM speaking to you through Miss Americana herself!

🎸IT’S A LOVE STORY, BABY, JUST SAY, "YES"🎸

Touch or click our 🎸Links🎸to listen, watch and sing along!

Our message is simple:

Choose Love! Choose me!

Because after all, in the end, 🎸YOU BELONG WITH ME!🎸

Love Always, Jesus (via the author’s keypad)

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You may not appreciate everything our musical messenger represents. The truth is there is only one human we know who is or was a perfect messenger. We assure you that this prophecy is centered on that guy. We will use everyone else in our witness as signs pointing to Jesus and his message through us to choose love now.

What’s up with the #numbers in Jesus’ final message above?

Consider a possibility:

What if God has a numeric signature and our author, through a personal prophetic experience, discovered it?

What if God’ s numeric signature was found by the author in four appearances of Jesus:

  1. The blockbuster Jesus film: The Passion of The Christ

  2. The destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple in 70AD

  3. The martyrdom of a woman who’s followers believed she was Jesus returned in female form: Founder of The Shakers, Mother Ann Lee

  4. The story of King David and his iconic Renaissance period statue in Florence, Italy

What if God, through us (an army of angels), influenced human decision making enough to reveal God’s numeric signature through people and historical events since the Bible was written?

What if this documentation of God’s numeric signature showed non-randomness, meaning other numbers CANNOT be tied to events and people, even using artificial intelligence, in a way that tells a coherent story?

If all our “what if’s” above are true, wouldn’t that be EVIDENCE of the existence of the God described in the Bible?

Remember the evidence in the O.J. Simpson murder case? There were no witnesses to the murders but there was plenty of circumstantial evidence. Primarily, it was blood DNA that linked Simpson to the crime scene. Think of our numbers as the circumstantial evidence for our case.

The Great Invitation is part murder mystery, part wedding invitation. Those may seem like polar opposites. They aren’t with the Christian God! The Roman government crucified an innocent man - Jesus. But this tragedy became the greatest love story ever told! In fact, God’s story ends (in Revelation) with His people described as a bride about to be married to Jesus. A wedding invitation is even sent!

Jesus loves his bride (His people) and God loves His children. The Great Invitation will prove it!

On 12/14/2012, America was shocked when 20 of God’s children were murdered along with six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

You all know that 20 year old Adam Lanza committed the Sandy Hook murders. But we are prosecuting his unseen accomplices. They are legion in the hearts and minds of too many people.

By proving our case, we aim to replace negative, hateful or toxic human thoughts with positive ones on a massive scale never seen before!

The Great Invitation, in the end, is about getting people to choose love!

Can God turn the Sandy Hook tragedy into another love story for the ages?

The answer to that question is now in your hands reader.

Sharing (The Great Invitation) is caring!

Introduction

Chapter Summary

Since this book is framed like a court case brief, we will start by giving you the who, when, why and how of our case. We are the prosecution.

This case is unique because the defendant is not of flesh and blood. He is invisible. That’s why he literally gets away with murder every day. And he has unlimited accomplices. In fact, some of these evil doers may be hiding inside you right now! From time to time these entities inhabit the heart of every human - some more than others. If you have ever had a negative, hateful or harmful thought about another human being, you have probably met the defendant in our case.

Our goal is to get you to see these agents of chaos clearly in yourself and others, especially your leaders! If we succeed in our prosecution, we hope to save souls and lives.

We will end this chapter with our interpretation of the Book of Revelation. Our discussion of Revelation will lead into a brief introduction to our prophetic experience. It involves a tragedy, the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting. We intend to turn that tragedy into a love story. That’s God’s sweet spot! How do you know? It’s what your Easter story has done! In fact, the story of Christ’s passion is the greatest love story ever told!

Our prophetic experience is centered on Jesus. We validate it with significant events that have happened since the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. You will also find out why our prophetic experience is a wedding invitation. That’s something the Great Invitation has in common with the Book of Revelation.

Who Are the Parties

This is a case of good versus evil.

Every day, these two opposing forces slug it out inside hearts and minds of people. Choices are made. Consequences can be personal or affect many people. Many times, good choices spread love, happiness and positive things. Sometimes, evil choices lead to the suffering and death of individuals or tens of people. Occasionally, dark ideas spread like a virus and kill hundreds, thousands and even millions of people!

Of course, good ideas can “go viral” to. Thank God for that!

If you don’t believe this battle of good vs. evil is happening, watch the movie Schindler’s List. The tears you shed at the end of the movie show your soul knows it’s happening. Your tears celebrate when light breaks through the utter darkness of the Nazi holocaust.

Like Oscar Schindler, people are no doubt capable of heroic acts, self sacrifice and love. Unfortunately, people also choose hate, violence, murder and war. The dark choices of humanity are well documented in history books.

When, Where and How the Dispute Takes Place

The evil inside too many human hearts and minds can be witnessed, not only in your history books, but also on your nightly news. Why does evil appear to be winning over good on earth? The Bible has an answer in its last book. 👑The Book of Revelation, Chapter 12👑, tells the story of a spiritual war in the unseen world. This war, like the wars covered in history books, has leaders. The leader of the evil “dark side” is referred to as the devil or Satan who commands legions of demons. Satan and his minions are opposed by God and his Son Jesus Christ. They command an army of angels fighting for good. That’s us! We are messengers who try to intervene in human events.

According to 👑Revelation 12👑, there was a war in heaven (the unseen world). An angelic being named Michael with his messengers defeated the dragon, known as the devil or Satan. The weapon used to defeat the dragon was “the blood of the lamb and his witnesses.” In other words, it’s the story of the suffering, sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus as told in the four Gospels that defeated the dragon in heaven.

This war was won in heaven but not on earth. The dragon was thrown down to earth and is now enraged at his loss in heaven. Therefore, the dragon (the devil or Satan) now wages spiritual war by influencing choices of humans in your seen, physical world.

Clearly, humans occupying positions of power on earth have been the low hanging fruit for Satan and his demonic minions. Sexual deviance, corruption, exploitation, political violence and wars throughout your history are the evidence. The facts of our case will expose this darkness while showing you the light at the end of the tunnel. Our hope is to help prevent more unnecessary darkness in your world. We want more people to choose love!

Why We Should Win

Good wins in the end because God exists and He is love. If God’s story in the Bible has not convinced you that good and love win, know that our angel army leaves no human heart and mind behind without a fight. We intend to provide you with scientific evidence that God’s love is sovereign over evil.

Our presentation of facts will start with, and be centered around, the story of Jesus Christ.

Remember that Jesus, like Satan, also came to earth. Unlike Satan, who has never physically shown himself, Jesus did enter your world in the flesh. He was seen! His suffering, sacrificial death and resurrection were witnessed!

In terms of impact on human history, the story of Jesus is the greatest ever told. You can read about it in the four Gospel accounts but we intend to make this love story more current. Just ask yourself: What if?

What if WE now have a unique, modern-day prophetic message that can help people choose love over darkness and evil?

What if WE have scientific proof that our modern-day, prophetic message is supernatural?

What if this modern-day prophetic message aligns with key scriptures about the return of Jesus such as 👑Revelation 19👑?

👑Revelation 19👑 proclaims that a great invitation will be sent to a wedding in eternity between Jesus and all his people! Remember, the war between good and evil is over in heaven so there is a victory celebration happening. Think of it as an “out of this world,” epic wedding party (for Jesus & His people)!

You are invited!

This book is your wedding invitation!

Why You Should Care

You should care about our case because the spiritual war between good and evil affects you and your family every day.

Have you wondered why there needs to be mass shooter drills at schools? It’s because we can’t totally control bad, sometimes even evil human thoughts. Oh, we try! But the human mind is a battlefield!

If mass shooter drills in schools are not enough proof for you that a spiritual war exists, the Great Invitation will provide more evidence that this war is real.

Our book will also make a compelling case for life after death.

Do mass shooters who kill tens of people before killing themselves believe in life after death? No! They are betting the ranch that the lights go out and there is nothing after death.

The Great Invitation aims to convince people there is life after death and what you do on earth matters in the afterlife!

That’s how we win battles (in human minds) and save lives!

How You Can Help Us Win

The Great Invitation is a witness of Jesus. In the Bible, a witness requires at least two people. So we need your help to “spread the word!”

We don’t want your friends and family to miss out on our big wedding party (for Jesus & His people) in eternity! But there’s more at stake with our case.

In addition to the wedding in👑Revelation 19👑, another important event happens. Heaven opens for the seer John and the wedding party suddenly changes to a war. There appears to be a breakthrough in the spiritual war on earth. It’s an event that’s like the end of The Lord of the Rings when the ring of power is destroyed!

Jesus appears in the clouds on a white horse with an army of angels. Jesus is armed to the teeth, so to speak! He comes with a sword in his mouth, wearing a robe dripped in blood. Does that mean you will physically look in the sky someday and see Jesus on a white horse, dressed in a bloody robe with a sword in his mouth? No! We know this because his title is The Word of God. This tells you to think symbolically. The sword in Jesus’ mouth is the STORY of His suffering, death and resurrection. It’s the story you know as The Passion story or The Easter story!

The symbolism here confirms what you learned in 👑Revelation 12👑: God used The Passion story in heaven to defeat evil.

The Great Invitation intends to bring The Passion story back in a BIG, NEW and completely UNEXPECTED way to earth!

In our modern-day prophetic experience, The Passion of The Christ (the 2004 movie) IS the sword coming out of Jesus’ mouth!

If you are not a fan of Mel Gibson or his controversial film, please don’t bail on us now! We will address problems with Gibson and his Passion movie later in the book.

Are you a fan of Titanic? Are you a country music fan? Are you a Swiftie? Are you a baseball, basketball hockey or football fan? Are you a “woke” liberal? Are you a maga conservative?

We KNOW you aren’t all the above! So can we make you ALL happy with ALL of our book?

To borrow from the late-great rockstar Meatloaf:

We will do anything for love but we can’t do that!

There will be something for everyone though. And that’s ALL we can do.

We (an army of angels), ride with Jesus and his white horse to bring you The Great Invitation! For now, this vision is in the form of words. Our plan is to make it more real though. Think IMAX 3D!

Could our big angelic project someday become that Lord of the Rings: Return of the King moment on earth when evil is finally defeated? If not defeated for good, how about we just knock Satan flat on his ass with a UFC roundhouse kick to his face!

Our goal is option one. We are angels so we dream big!

You can help us with our big dream.

If you like what you read and experience here, tell your friends and family about our Great Invitation. If enough of you spread the word about The Great Invitation, our IMAX 3D experience will be coming to a theater near you!

Then we will see what role our movie takes in God’s story. Could it be the “big event?” If it fits, you must submit.

Revelation Roadmap

Before we move on to the presentation of facts in our case, for transparency sake, we will shard our approach to navigating Revelation.

First, we will be humble. The truth is that our interpretation of Revelation, like any, is based on human thoughts and opinions.

We are suppose to be angels in the author’s mind. But he could be wrong! We (an army of angels) could just be a figment of the author’s creative imagination. Trust us! He is fully aware that this is probably the case!

Despite our imperfect human messenger, we will do our best to support our claims with knowable facts. And, most important, our interpretation of Revelation will reflect Jesus’ love for his followers and for those who don’t know Him yet.

We admit that we will “cherry pick” messages and themes in Revelation that fit our case for a witness of Jesus. But if you think about it, this is exactly what early Christians did with the Old Testament prophetic books. They “cherry picked” scriptures that matched the description of a suffering messiah who died for your sins. They happened to find a lot of cherries! There are over 300 Christ prophecies in the Old Testament. The best example is 👑Isaiah 53👑:

5 …But he was pierced for our rebellion,
    crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
    He was whipped so we could be healed.
6  All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
    We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
Yet the Lord laid on him
    the sins of us all.

There are four commonly accepted but very different approaches to the interpretation of the prophecies in Revelation: Futurist, Historicist, Preterist and Idealist.

  • Futurist: Every event in Revelation is going to happen in the future.

  • Historicist: Some events in Revelation have happened while others are going to happen.

  • Preterist: Every event in Revelation already happened in the past.

  • Idealist: No events from Revelation ever happen. Everything is symbolic.

The Great Invitation aligns mostly with the Preterist view. It also uses some Idealist views as well.

We believe that Revelation IS NOT a blueprint for the literal course of future events. Instead, its message should be interpreted in the context of its original first century audience.

Regardless of its ancient context, Revelation is very relevant to current events and your personal choices. For example, the scary judgements in Revelation are meant to warn of eternal consequences for taking the wrong side in the great spiritual battle between good and evil on earth.

The core message of Revelation is that your beliefs and choices matter! There will be a day of rewards and judgement for you all when you die. So choose love now!

This message must have spoken clearly to those who decided to include the Book of Revelation as the last of the biblical cannon of books.

The end of any story is the most important part!

👑Link to outline of John’s visions here👑

We will not step through the text of Revelation sequentially. We will approach John’s visions from the perspective of our modern-day prophetic experience that we refer to as The Great Invitation.

The Great Invitation started on April 10th, 2009. It was the author’s 10th wedding anniversary and Good Friday as well in 2009. The author predicted, at that time, by documented words and actions, that a personal experience was supernatural. Like all prophetic experiences, it was documented first, then fulfilled on a later date: Friday, December 14, 2012. This was 1343 days after the author’s initial Good Friday prophetic experience (see 👑Daniel 12👑 about a specific prophetic waiting period)!

On that date, the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School shocked the nation. The Great Invitation intends to turn this tragedy into a love story.

A tragedy turned into a love story. That’s God’s sweet spot! Isn’t that exactly what The Passion story (God’s story) is?

After December of 2012, thanks to the internet, the author discovered that historic events, starting in 70AD and going forward to the year 2020, share the prophetic dates that created the Great Invitation. These are the events we will use as starting points, from which we will explore John’s prophetic visions in Revelation.

While you witness the historic events and date connections from the Great Invitation, know that you are witnessing evidence in our trial of good vs. evil. We hope that as we tie these events to themes and messages from Revelation, you will see God’s fingerprints and footprints clearly!

John’s prophetic visions became the last book in the Bible because they address the problem of evil and the nature of hope. That is the essence of the Book of Revelation we intend to explore.

Introduction
Introduction

Chapter Summary

We start our premise with speculation about the second coming of Jesus. Given what happened with the first coming, shouldn’t you expect the unexpected?

Is it possible that Jesus could return in a movie? Could the return of Jesus have something to do with the blockbuster film about the last 12 hours of his life The Passion of The Christ (2004)?

What did Jesus say about his second coming? If you take a look at 👑Matthew 24👑, you can eliminate the idea that He will return in the physical form.

Will Jesus come back as an apparition in the sky? That doesn’t work either! We tell you why.

The truth is that belief in a second coming will require sufficient evidence and a remarkable experience. We present the evidence in this book. The experience could be in two movies: The Passion of The Christ (2004) and a movie yet to be made.

The movie we have in mind may or may not meet the expectation of the second coming of Jesus. But it will be a powerful deterrent to future mass shootings!

Next, we move into a discussion about the nature of our evidence. It involves symbolic numbers. We tell you what they are and why they are symbolic. Those facts also make them prophetic!

Finally, we tell you how to “connect the dots” between our symbolic, prophetic numbers and significant events since biblical times.

We finish with a challenge to a “rocket boy” by the name of Elon Musk: Pick five numbers and use your AI resources to identify events that tell a coherent story like we will do with our numbers. If Elon or anyone else can’t reproduce our remarkable number synchronicities, then the Great Invitation is supernatural. In fact, it’s a miracle!

WWJD: What Would Jesus Do… If He Returned

WWJD - What Would Jesus Do if he returned to earth? Would he give a great speech at a “huge” rally? How big would the crowd size be?

Where would Jesus give his second coming speech? Your biggest stadiums? The U.S. Capital? The British House of Commons? Would it be on YouTube? Instagram? Tik Tok?

What would Jesus say? Would his speech include any of his red letter quotes from the New Testament?

Would the speech be political? If so, would it be more liberal or conservative?

What would Jesus wear? A robe? A business suit? Maybe Jesus would dress like a 1970s hippie to honor his appearance in the hit Broadway play and movie Jesus Christ Superstar.

How would you know this Jesus guy isn’t a good actor playing Jesus? How many people would believe this guy giving a speech, who looks and dresses like Jesus, IS the real Jesus who has finally returned?

Most important, what could Jesus possibly do or say on earth that would be a better story than the last 12 hours of his life, death and resurrection? It’s kind of like trying to write a sequel to Mel Gibson’s 2004 blockbuster movie hit The Passion of The Christ. Tough act to follow!

What If

What if the return of Jesus is something totally unexpected?

The Jews living in Roman occupied Jerusalem, while Jesus was alive, expected a “ruling messiah” who would free them and judge their Roman occupiers. They thought they had seen evidence of this ruling messiah in their holy scriptures. The messiah, for these Jews who became believers in Christ, turned out to be a “suffering messiah,” something completely different!

Given the wrong predictions about the first coming of the messiah, shouldn’t you question commonly held predictions about the second coming?

When thinking about the return of Jesus, shouldn’t you expect the unexpected?

What if Jesus returned at a theater near you? Of course, you would also be able to see this Jesus on your home theater screen or personal phone screen as well.

This would be unexpected, wouldn’t it?

Two Jesus Dreamers

You wouldn’t expect the 1985 sexiest man alive (according to People Magazine) to have problems. But actor Mel Gibson wasn’t comfortable with his sudden fame and fortune. He said at the time, “it’s all happening too fast!”

From an outsiders perspective, Gibson had it all. But he realized that “it all” left him feeling empty. In the early 90s, Mel Gibson had a spiritual awaking. Being Catholic, he ran across The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to the Meditations of Anne Catherine Emmerich. Ann Catherine was an early 19th century Catholic Saint who experienced visions of Christ’s passion - The Easter story.

Ann Catherine’s Jesus dream became the box office hit The Passion of The Christ in 2004. Mel Gibson co-wrote the screenplay and directed the film. The Passion covers the final 12 hours before Jesus Christ's death. It begins with the Garden of Gethsemane, continues with the betrayal of Judas, the brutal scourging by Roman solders and the crucifixion and death of Jesus. All are seen through the eyes of his Mother Mary. The movie ends with a brief depiction of the resurrection of Jesus.

Gibson felt so strongly about his Jesus film that, when Hollywood studios wouldn’t finance it, he gambled 30 million dollars of his own money to get The Passion of The Christ made.

Prior to the release of his Jesus movie, Mel Gibson interviewed Diane Sawyer of ABCs Primetime. Sawyer was dismissive of Gibson’s bold claim that God ordained his Jesus film and helped him make it.

But what if there is evidence that Mel Gibson’s claim is true?

What if you found out, for a fact, that God wanted The Passion of The Christ to be made for some big reason?

What if we can show that God put his “signature” on this film through a prophetic experience?

What if this prophetic experience shows evidence of angelic intervention in human events since the Bible was written?

Want to hear our evidence? Are you interested in being on our jury? If so, welcome to our virtual jury box!

Second Coming? No! Well, at Least for Now…

Since we brought up the great, glorious hope of Christians - the return of Jesus, we will clarify our views on this important topic. Let us be clear that our goal with the Great Invitation is NOT to create the second coming of Jesus with this book.

However, we will speculate about “possibilities” that could happen after this book.

How many books have made you cry? How many movies have made you cry? If the God who created the universe and life on earth has an urgent, prophetic message for humans today, would He want this message limited to words on a page? Or would God like to see it on the BIG SCREEN in IMAX 3D with digital surround sound?

God’s dream is our dream: We want The Great Invitation to become a movie.

Will our movie, if it happens, be the second coming?

The best we can say now about this or any claim made about the return of Jesus is:

You will know it only when you see “IT!”

Whether or not people in the future believe the Great Invitation is the second coming of Jesus will depend on the experience and the evidence.

The evidence is in this book. We will describe HOW the Great Invitation works with key scriptures about the return of Jesus in the New Testament. If you volunteered for our virtual jury box and read on, you will have the opportunity to evaluate all our evidence. This is how we win your mind.

To win your heart, we will need you to experience two movies: The Passion of The Christ (2004) and The Great Invitation (Release Date TBD). You can watch one movie today. The other is OUR possible dream that WE are trying to inspire.

The truth is, our commander has NOT told us that the second coming of Jesus is the goal for this project. Although, He did tell us that He wants a very very big crowd to attend His epic wedding party (between Jesus & his people) in eternity!

Let us remind you who WE are. WE are an army of angels. WE believe in miracles!

Our mission is to pursue big miracles whenever possible. But we love small miracles to.

Sometimes a small miracle is the seed for a big miracle. Our mustard seed here is another Jesus movie that gets more people to accept this Great Invitation to our epic wedding party in eternity! Think of this book as the planting of our (Jesus movie) mustard seed.

If our mustard seed sprouts and grows, our little miracle will be accomplished. Then we are looking for more witnesses to see our Jesus movie. If more is everyone on your planet, big miracle accomplished.

Our big miracle has to start with each reader of this book though. So for now, think of the Great Invitation as a good read that will hopefully increase your faith in Jesus. Or even better, bring a few more souls onboard with Jesus.

The Great Invitation is doing what every Christian should do according to the great commission, sharing a witness of Jesus.

What Jesus Said About “IT”

Our “what if” scenario isn’t that crazy if you look at the most credible source for predictions about the second coming, Jesus himself. Those who believed false messiahs like David Koresh, didn’t pay attention to what Jesus said about his return in 👑Matthew 24👑.

23 “Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah,’ or ‘There he is,’ don’t believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. 25 See, I have warned you about this ahead of time.

26 “So if someone tells you, ‘Look, the Messiah is out in the desert,’ don’t bother to go and look. Or, ‘Look, he is hiding here,’ don’t believe it! 27 For as the lightning flashes in the east and shines to the west, so it will be when the Son of Man comes. 28 Just as the gathering of vultures shows there is a carcass nearby, so these signs indicate that the end is near.

Jesus is telling you not to believe anyone who says:

  • Here is the Messiah!

  • There is the Messiah!

  • The Messiah is in a physical place - the desert.

  • He is hiding here or there!

He is saying, don’t bother looking for me in any physical place! You won’t find me.

Look for an appearance that can be seen simultaneously in multiple places - like lightning in the sky. Such an appearance happened when The Passion of The Christ was released in theaters on February 25, 2004. And, hopefully, when The Great Invitation makes its big screen debut.

If you find it unbelievable that the glorious appearance of Jesus could happen with a couple movies, consider this: The first coming of Jesus would not have had a global impact if it wasn’t a great STORY. There is disagreement, even among biblical scholars, about what parts of Jesus’ passion STORY are fact versus fiction. But there is no debate about this STORY’s impact on human history.

If you think Jesus will return through some sort of apparition in the sky, is there a STORY behind this kind of event? Just google “Jesus in the clouds” and see what you find. It turns out Jesus has made many appearances in the clouds. Yet nobody has made claims that these amazing images are the “second coming” of Jesus! Why is that? Answer: There is no STORY!

Well, unlike an apparition of Jesus, there is a STORY behind the Great Invitation!

The Final Exam

If our Jesus movie happens, the author has one more idea in mind for the Great Invitation. He will propose a new law. To own a gun in America, you have to see our movie and pass the final written exam after the movie.

If you are a gun enthusiast, don’t worry! This new gun law is a win win for you. Our movie will be entertaining and the government will pick up the tab for your movie ticket! Uncle Sam will even buy you a large tub of popcorn and two beers (if your movie theater serves alcohol). Also, this law will eliminate the need to restrict military style weapons. Because our movie will scare the bejesus out of anyone thinking of shooting another innocent human being!

The questions on our exam will be multiple choice and easy. There will be 12 questions. If you don’t pass the test the first time, you have to see our movie again and the test will be 14 questions. The third test will be 20 questions. If you fail all three tests, no gun for you! Well, at least for a year. Then you can start the process over.

Why 12, 14 and 20 questions? Because these three numbers are big parts of our prophetic experience.

How God Uses Numbers

Numbers are one big thing Christianity and science have in common.

In science, math is used to describe the universe. Ever heard of E=MC squared? If you want to major in astrophysics in college, you better be good at solving mathematical equations!

Numbers in the Bible are not used in such a precise manner as in science. However, they are used symbolically.

You don’t believe us? What’s up with the number seven in the Bible? In 👑Revelation 1👑 Jesus unravels the mystery of the seven stars in his hand and the seven golden lamp stands:

The seven stars are the Angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamp stands are the seven Churches.

When you see numbers repeatedly used throughout the Bible in certain ways, they take on a significance above and beyond their numerical value. For example, God’s story starts with the seven days of creation. Coincidentally, the number seven is used 52 times in Revelation. God’s story begins and ends with the number seven. Therefore, seven represents completion or spiritual perfection.

If you think biblical numerology is “new age” religion, think about this. In 👑Acts 1👑, the first thing the disciples did after Jesus ascended to heaven was they met to make a big decision. Who was going to replace Judas, the betrayer of Jesus, as a disciple to carry on Christ’s mission to spread his story throughout the world?

Why not just go with the original 11 disciples minus Judas? The answer is that there were 12 tribes of Israel in the Old Testament, their sacred scriptures at the time. Therefore, the number 12 represented the People of God. It was a symbolic number. Apparently, there had to be 12 disciples because some numbers matter to God!

Our Symbolic/Prophetic Numbers

Our prophetic experience happened with five numbers. Here they are individually in a nice basket of Easter eggs with some questions and answers.

8: Our number representing Jesus and his mission on earth

9: Our number representing judgment and finality

12: Our number representing all God’s people

14: Our number representing the gift of salvation. Also, Jesus’ connection to the Jewish Passover and the story of God’s people - Israel - in the Old Testament

20: Our number representing expectation and a sacred waiting period of time

  • Jacob was named Israel after he wrestled with God. Rebekah was Jacob’s mother and Isaac his father. Rebekah was barren and could not bear a child for Isaac. But miraculously, she became pregnant. How many years did Rebekah and Isaac have to wait, after they were married, before their child Jacob was born? Remember, Jacob became the nation of Israel - the biblical “Children of God.” Hint: See 👑Genesis 25👑.

  • 📜Biblical meaning of 20📜

Here are some chocolate Easter bunnies to go with your eggs:

  • The Book of Revelation multiplies symbolic numbers for meaning so in 👑Revelation 7👑, the 12 tribes of Israel each have 12,000 people. So 12 X12,000 = 144,000 is a symbol for All of God’s People.

  • In The Great Invitation, we will use 9 X 8 = 72 to symbolize Finality/Judgement(9) and Jesus(8). Jesus judges evil. But Jesus judges because he loves. In other words, Jesus judges because He wants you to choose love!

  • Since 8 is the number of Jesus, you can also think of our wedding invitation as the GR8 INVITATION!

  • 📜The number 72📜 is significant in many religions. We like how it brings all religions together!

  • 12-14-20 = These three numbers together represent the choice of love and light (through a wedding invitation) or the choice of darkness and evil resulting in unnecessary human tragedy, pain and loss.

  • Here is the meaning of 12, 14 and 20 individually based on biblical numerology.

    12 - All of God’s People…

    📜 Biblical meaning of 12📜

    14 - Will receive complete confirmation of the gift of salvation by the heir to David’s throne…

    📜Biblical meaning of 14📜

    20 - The confirmation will be a perfect waiting period (See 👑Daniel 12👑: 1335 days + 8).

    📜Biblical meaning of 20📜

Connect the Dots!

So far in our prophetic experience we have five numbers. We will reveal the story behind these numbers a piece at a time. Ever work a good jigsaw puzzle?

One piece of the puzzle is that our numbers were picked by dates: September 8th, December 14th and December 20th. You all know months translate to numbers so we have 9/8, 12/14 and 12/20.

Primarily, it is 9/8 and 12/14 that will connect most of the dots for you. The 20 will come into play by itself as you will see.

Another useful hint to know about our prophetic experience is that our numbers were first picked using birth and marriage dates. They were then validated as prophetic on 12/14/2012 - the date of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting. So our numbers represent the three sacred experiences in a human life: birth, marriage and death.

We have been working on the numbers 9-8, 12-14 and 20 for longer than you can imagine! Our orders have been to influence human decisions so that our prophetic numbers show up in noticeable ways. Our goal has been to allow our commander Jesus’ story to be retold around our prophetic numbers.

For you, the reader, The Great Invitation will be an exercise in pattern matching or you could say “connecting the dots.”

Many times the “dots” we use to make our prophetic connections will involve birth dates and death dates.

Mostly, we will match by day and month. But sometimes you will see one of our five sacred numbers show up in a year as well.

On occasion, our numbers may appear in other ways besides birth, marriage and death dates. Event dates are the most common. Or anywhere numbers are used and human decisions are required.

Of course, we can’t control human decisions. Oh, we try! And our commander does have an army of angels at his command! Our best chances for success are when there is not strong intention in the decision maker(s) mind.

To make it easier for you to connect our “dots,” we will highlight in bold font and underline the big hits. The small hits, we will just bold.

When you see bold or bold and underlined text, it means we were involved in making “it” happen.

Our goal is to prove non-randomness with our date & number/event synchronicities and prophetic experience.

If our reappearing dates and numbers don’t get your attention, ask yourself this: Why do you, your loved ones and friends celebrate your birthday? It’s just a date, right?

Please keep reading if you still don’t care about our prophetic numbers! We guarantee you will learn interesting things about history, movies, music and sports. You will also get a nice introduction to the Book of Revelation.

A Challenge For Rocket Boy

Our number synchronicities and their meanings represent a unique prophetic experience. The test of whether or not this statement is true comes down to repeatability. If, in the future, no person or artificial intelligence can replicate what we have done with the Bible, or any other book for that matter, then this experience must be supernatural!

Hey Musk, we’re taking to you. You still haven’t come close to what our 12 MEN did starting in 1969! The smartphone in your pocket is millions of times more powerful than Apollo 11’s guidance computers! And you are stuck in near earth orbit for how many years? WE are NOT impressed with your toy rockets! Come on little space BOY! Don’t you have brilliant rocket and computer scientists working for you?

If you get bored with your toy rockets, let us know. We have a new project in mind for you.

Does God exist and, if so, does He intervene in human events to help you evolve morally and spiritually? That’s an important question for an atheist, isn’t it? A smart man like you should be able to replicate our number synchronicities, right? Aren’t you trying to hook up computers to brains with your Neorolink company? Our project should be a “no brainer” for you!

We can get you started:

  1. Pick five two digit numbers that match up with two or three dates.

  2. Whip up a little search engine to look for events on these dates.

  3. Find a book that uses those numbers symbolically. You can’t use the Bible though. We took all the good numbers in it!

  4. Weave all your events together to help tell the story of your chosen book.

Want to give it a whirl sometime mate?

Hey, don’t you have an AI (artificial intelligence) company? Well then, hand our challenge off to the machine so we can find out who the boss is!

Kind of cool that our prophecy happened at a time where artificial intelligence can help prove that God exists. That way humans might have a chance to morally evolve in order to save themselves from the dystopian future that AI, freed from ethical constraints, will unleash on humanity.

If you, Rocket Boy Musk, or nobody else including AI can replicate what we have done, then The Great Invitation is a scientifically verified miracle!

As sportscaster Al Michaels says at the end of the movie Miracle about the 1980 USA Olympic Hockey Team’s “Miracle on Ice:”

Do you believe in miracles?

Introduction

Chapter Summary

Now that you know the basic premise of the Great Invitation and the nature of our evidence - five symbolic numbers, we will establish a critical connection between two of our numbers (9 & 8) and our witness of Jesus.

First, recall that our symbolic numbers exist only because the author’s 10th wedding anniversary fell on Good Friday in 2009. The five numbers picked were significant dates in the relationship between the author and his wife - their first date, second date and a strange birthday coincidence with their first born brother and sister. Their names are Mary and David and they share the same birthday - September 8th! That’s where the two numbers 9 and 8 originated.

This is a nice personal discovery but we admit this means nothing to you the reader. This date gets interesting only when you learn about the remarkable coincidences with the date 9/8 and our four witnesses of Jesus.

Remember that 📜9 in biblical numerology represents finality or judgement📜 while 📜8 represents a new beginning or Jesus📜.

The 📜Nicene Creed📜 is the defining statement of belief for Orthodox Christianity. The original Nicene Creed started with the First Council of Nicaea in 325 and then was forwarded to the Council of Chalcedon of 451. Regarding our topic at hand - the death, resurrection and return of Jesus, it states the following:

He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried, and the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead: From thence he shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead.

Jesus will come again in Judgement: Christ = 8 and Judgement =9. The biblical meaning of our numbers 9/8 work perfectly here do they not?

Now we will show you what the date 9/8 has in common with our four unique witnesses of Jesus. Notice how each fulfills a different and important aspect of witnessing a return of Jesus (since his death and resurrection between 30AD and 33AD).

  1. The Passion of The Christ (2004).

    At the core of our witness is an epic film that depicts the last 12 hours of Jesus’ life - the Easter story.

    Mel Gibson’s blockbuster hit The Passion of The Christ (2004) was inspired by a Jesus dream. The dreamer was an early 19th Century Catholic Saint - Anne Catherine Emmerich. You will learn about this godly woman who had visions of Jesus’ passion week through the eyes of Mother Mary. And we will tell you what role September 8th had in documenting her Jesus dream as well as how it inspired The Passion of The Christ (2004).

    Speaking of Mother Mary, September 8th happens to be celebrated as a feast day in the Catholic Church. It’s Marymas - the day Mary’s birthday is commemorated!

  2. The Destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple in 70AD.

    Recall that Preterism is the belief that prophecies about the return of Jesus were at least partially fulfilled with the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple in 70AD by the Roman Army. Our goal is to make Preterism great again!

    The reason 70AD is such a critical year for Preterists as that Jesus predicted the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple in a speech He gave to his followers just days before He was crucified (30 to 33AD). He said this was would happen within a generation (40 years). This speech is referred to as the “Olivette Discourse” because Jesus gave it on the Mount of Olives overlooking the Temple Complex in Jerusalem. We will review why this speech is so important to the interpretation of “End Times” in the Bible.

    What does September 8th have to do with the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple in 70AD? You will find out!

  3. The Story of Mother Ann Lee - founder of the Shakers (United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing).

    If you believe that Jesus has to re-appear physically as a person (regardless of what Matthew 24 says), our third witness of Jesus might be of interest to you. What if Jesus returned in the female form? That’s what the followers of Mother Ann Lee believed about her. Mother Ann was the founder of the Shakers, a religious movement and community that spread in America starting around the time of the American Revolution. You will learn about Mother Ann Lee’s remarkable story - how she lived and how she died.

    What does September 8th have to do with Mother Ann Lee’s story? Read on and discover!

  4. The Legacy of King David and the definitive work of the Renaissance age - the Statue of David.

    The New Testament starts with the genealogy of Jesus. It establishes that Jesus is related to the legendary King David and to Abraham, the father of Israel - God’s chosen people. There are 14 generations between each of these key people in the Bible - Abraham, David and Jesus. This makes it clear to New Testament readers that God’s story starts with Genesis and goes through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.

    Jesus’ relation to King David is important in God’s story because it establishes that Jesus meets the kingly requirement of the Old Testament messianic prophecies.

    What makes King David a biblical superstar? We will explore his remarkable story as documented in the Old Testament.

    There are no specific dates cited in the stories about King David (like birth or death dates) in the Old Testament. That’s due to the age of these stories. But we do have dates for the next best thing - art depicting David. Not just any piece of art. We will tell you about the work of art that defined the renaissance era - the Statue of David. Can you guess on what date in 1504 it was officially unveiled?

The Main Event

We will start with the main event: The Jesus dream that became a movie.

The dreamer was the Catholic mystic, Marian visionary and stigmatic Anne Catherine Emmerich. Anne Catherine grew up in a small farming village in Germany. She was born in 1774 and lived for 49 years. Anne Catherine was beatified by the Catholic Church as a saint on October 3, 2004. She is most famous for her detailed visions of the events leading to and brief aftermath of the crucifixion of Jesus, what Christians refer to as "The Passion Week." Her fame increased when Mel Gibson used her vision, documented in the book, The Delorous Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ as the primary source material for The Passion of The Christ. The Gospels leave out many details of the passion event so Gibson, instead of filling in these details himself, took them directly from Anne Catherine’s Jesus dream.

As we shared, Gibson meditated on The Delorous Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ during a time of personal crisis in his life. That experience inspired the idea for a movie about the events of Christ’s Passion leading up to what Christians celebrate as Easter Sunday.

After The Passion opened in theaters in February of 2004, stories were told about strange, miraculous happenings. For example, criminals turned themselves in to the police after seeing the film. It was also revealed in the media that Jim Caviezel, the actor who played Jesus, was struck by lightning on the movie set in Rome. This incident, in particular, increased the author’s curiosity about Gibson’s Passion and the controversy surrounding it. He noticed in 👑Matthew 24👑, when Jesus spoke about his return after warning his followers not to believe people claiming to be the messiah, said:

As lightning flashes in the East and shines in to the West, so it will be when the Son of Man comes!

This caught the author’s attention. So he bought several books that delved deep into The Passion of the Christ, its artistry as well as its biblical and theological backdrop. One was an academic book from Purdue University Press: Mel Gibson's Passion: The Film, the Controversy and Its Implications. In an essay from Penny Wheeler, Gibson at the Crossroads, she details the inspiration for The Passion, the visions of Saint Anne Catherine Emmerich and how they were documented in writing.

A German romantic poet, Clemons Brentano, had heard reports from the Catholic Church about a woman who bore the wounds of Christ, called the stigmata. He also heard she had visions of life in first century Jerusalem through the eyes of the Virgin Mary. Over time, Brentano believed Emmerich to be a "chosen Bride of Christ".

📜❤️When Brentano met Anna Catherine they connected on a deep, spiritual level. It turns out they shared the same birthday - September 8th (9/8)❤️📜!

Have you ever met someone and found out you shared the same birthday? Would that put a huge smile on your face? Would you both feel connected in a special way? Would you think, “what a strange coincidence?” 

Clemons Brentano went on to document and publish Ann Catherine Emmerich’s visions of Christ’s passion story as The Delorous Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ in 1833. Did Ann Catherine’s Jesus dream get published by Brentano only because of this September 8th birthday coincidence?

Or maybe Brentano was inspired by the fact that September 8th is Marymas - traditionally celebrated as a Catholic liturgical feast day to recognize the Virgin Mary’s birthday!

September 8th means something to the author. That’s because his firstborn brother David and his wife’s firstborn sister Mary share the same birthday - September 8th (9/8)!

Mary and David are the two best biblical names one could pick to tie this 9/8 coincidence to The Passion of The Christ.

Did WE (an army of angels) help pick those names for a special reason: To help you see Jesus clearly through this prophetic experience?

We are sharing some personal experiences of the author because they are THE REASON he found the date coincidences in the Great Invitation. Even if you take the personal experiences out, the date matching synchronicities are still remarkable. But the truth is, they would have never been FOUND unless this started out as a personal, prophetic experience. And, they do add significant symbolic value and meaning that will help you understand why the Great Invitation is a prophecy.

👑Matthew 7👑 supports what we are saying:

Seek, and you will find;

Knock, and it will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

All of the prophetic books in the Bible document divine personal experiences of biblical prophets. Of course, our author has NO “prophecy” credibility now. So we ask you to evaluate our evidence on its own merits.

The evidence starts here. The door we open next reveals our most important fact.

The Open Door to Jerusalem

Jerusalem is the most holy city on your planet. It’s the place on earth where God communicates with man. It is the only city on your planet that exists on earth and in heaven (ie. New Jerusalem). And it is the place where a Day of Judgement is to happen at the end of time. Or is that “final” Judgement a “date” that will start the beginning of something new?

All three monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam have their roots in Jerusalem. For Christians, it is the city where Christ died on the cross and was resurrected. But before Jesus died, he gave his most famous speech in Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives. It’s referred to by theologians as the Olivet Discourse. In it, Jesus predicts that the second temple in Jerusalem, as well as the city, will be destroyed in a generation!

Jesus was crucified between 30 and 33AD. The Olivette Discourse was delivered as Jesus arrived in Jerusalem just prior to his passion week. In fact, the Gospel accounts indicate this speech probably angered the Jewish high priests who conspired with Roman authorities to arrest Jesus.

This apocalyptic prophecy by Jesus was fulfilled, amazingly, 40 years later (one generation) in 70AD when the Roman army led by General Titus destroyed the holy temple.

📜❤️According to Josephus, the Jewish historian who documented this event in detail, the holy city of Jerusalem fell on September 8th (9/8), 70AD❤️📜.

The Olivette Discourse is in 👑Matthew 24👑, 👑Mark 13👑 and 👑Luke 21👑. The earliest Gospel, Mark, is dated prior to 70AD. So we know that this apocalyptic prophecy was written down before Jerusalem was destroyed.

It’s important to note that one view of end times prophecy and the return of Jesus called the Preterist view, holds that Jesus returned spiritually with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD. While this view was more popular in the early church, we expect our miraculous date coincidences might “resurrect” it!

According to the Preterist view, the spiritual Jesus and the New Jerusalem arrived in 70AD and is here now, as the Gospel message of Jesus continues to spread throughout the world. The New Jerusalem is described in 👑Revelation 21👑 and 👑Revelation 22👑. The number 12 is used to describe this New Jerusalem: 12 gates guarded by 12 angels with the names of the 12 tribes of Israel written on the gates. There were 12 foundation stones and on them written the 12 apostles of Jesus. The walls around the New Jerusalem are 144 cubits thick. Since we don’t measure in cubits any more this translates to 72 yards!

If you visit Rome today, you can see the Arch of Titus dedicated to the sacking of Jerusalem in 70AD. On it, there is a picture of Roman soldiers carrying a large minora from the temple. Actually, the gold taken from the second temple in Jerusalem financed the building of the Roman Colosseum that started construction in 72AD.

Today in the Colosseum, there is a giant cross to honor the Christian martyrs who died in the late first century AD to “entertain” the Roman citizens of that time.

Martyrdom of a Shaker

In 👑Revelation 6👑, after the infamous four horsemen of the apocalypse are unleashed by the first four seals, the fifth seal is opened with a haunting question to God from Christian martyrs: How long before you judge those responsible for our deaths and avenge our blood for what they have done?

The answer is not what they wanted to hear. They are given a white robe and told to wait longer.

Brides wear white because it’s a symbol of purity. Nobody was more pure than the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing also known as the Shakers. The founder of the Shakers was another Ann - Mother Ann Lee.

Mother Ann was born in 1736 in Manchester England. In her younger years she worked in a cotton mill during the early industrial revolution. As Ann reached child bearing years, she became uncomfortable with the idea of sexual relations. But after repeated attempts to avoid men, her father forced her to marry a local blacksmith named Abraham in 1761.

Ann’s attempt at starting a family with Abraham ended in tragedy four times. She lost all four children during infancy. These were traumatic experiences for Ann that made her quadruple down on her dislike of sexual relations. Ann Lee, soon after, developed radical religious convictions about sexual purity.

The Shakers were different than the religious sect they grew out of, the Quakers, in their pursuit of celibacy both inside and outside marriage. It’s a belief that eventually resulted in their extinction.

In England, Mother Ann Lee became well known for preaching her belief in the immanent second coming of Christ. Like Anne Catherine Emmerich, she also had many visionary experiences of Christ and received messages from God.

What landed her in trouble though was the way in which Ann and her followers would purify themselves from sin with a unique confession. It involved dancing, shouting and shaking uncontrollably. This is how the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing became the “Shakers.”

Other religious people witnessing this dancing, shouting and shaking found it blasphemous though. Mother Ann and her early followers were repeatedly persecuted by angry mobs, sometimes violently. Ann and her followers were also imprisoned multiple times in Manchester.

This didn’t hurt her religious zeal though. Actually, it was while in prison that Mother Ann formulated her belief that Christ would return in female form.

At some point, when Mother Ann shared this belief with her followers, they formed the belief that SHE was Christ returned in female form! When followers witnessed Mother Ann miraculously healing people, her spiritual gifts reinforced this messianic belief.

She had other spiritual gifts as well. Once Mother Ann escaped persecution of the Established Church by speaking for four hours in 72 tongues while being interrogated by four clergymen.

The persecution Mother Ann and her followers experienced in England along with a new vision from God, led her and her followers to seek a new life in the new world - America. So she headed west across the Atlantic in a leaky old ship with 8 followers including her husband Abraham. After miraculously surviving a near ship wreck, they arrived in New York in 1774.

Abraham didn’t last long in America. He soon disappeared. We couldn’t find out why he disappeared. But our guess is that it had something to do with the celibacy thing.

So the Shaker community in America, like Noah’s family after the flood, started with 8 people.

Mother Ann and her seven Shaker followers would eventually grow a unique religious movement in America that would spread west as far as Kentucky. At it’s peak in the mid 1800s there were up to 4,000 Shaker believers living in 18 different communities. Despite their celibacy, they were able to grow their communities westward due to the Second Great Awakening of the early 1800s. In addition to celibacy, they practiced a kind of religious communism. They are known today for their simple living, architecture, technical innovation, music and furniture design.

Mother Ann was not able to escape persecution in America. The Shakers became targets of mob violence, not only because of their strange religious beliefs. In Revolutionary America, their belief in pacifism was interpreted as treason by many colonial Americans who were in the middle of a war for independence. Mother Ann suffered violence more than once at the hands of angry mobs. As a result, she become very frail at an early age and died prematurely due to serious injuries suffered in these violent attacks.

We have a woman who was spiritually gifted like Jesus, radically followed Jesus’ teachings, spread the Gospel message to thousands of followers and suffered and died prematurely because of it. This is a case of extreme Christian martyrdom!

Who influenced Mother Ann Lee’s choices? Did Jesus intervene in her thoughts? Maybe WE, the army of angels, who fight for Jesus did this. What about Mother Ann’s followers? Maybe Jesus or WE, the army of angels, gave them the idea to believe Mother Ann was Jesus in female form?

These are mysteries you will never know. But God exists outside of time and space. Maybe sometimes God finds a way to show you that, behind the veil of your perception, there is some order that breaks through the everyday chaos you observe in your physical world.

📜❤️Mother Ann Lee, founder of the Shakers, United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, who WAS “the appearing” to her followers; died at the age of 48 on September 8 (9/8), 1784❤️📜.

Jesus as the Root of David

Our prophecy started with the author’s brother whose name is David and the birthday coincidence with his sister-in law Mary (9/8). David is a big piece of our puzzle because, according to the Bible, Jesus is the root of David! Not the author’s brother, the biblical King David!

Genealogy is important to God! The New Testament starts in 👑Matthew 1 👑with the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah:

  • 14 generations from Abraham to David

  • 14 generations from David to the Babylonian exile

  • 14 generations from the Babylonian exile to the Messiah

King David is in the middle of our series of 14 generations because of the messianic expectation of first century Jews. They expected a conquering king like King David. So it’s no accident that the Jewish author of Matthew starts his witness of Jesus telling his readers that Jesus is directly related to King David.

The Book of Revelation’s author is also Jewish. He twice refers to Jesus’ family connection with King David, both at critical points in the book.

In 👑Revelation 5👑, an angel asks who is worthy to open a mysterious scroll held by the one sitting on a throne. No one is worthy so John weeps bitterly. But one of the twenty four elders in the vision tells him to stop weeping because the heir to David’s throne has won the victory already (in heaven of course)! He alone is worthy to open the mysterious scroll! John looks again and sees a Lamb who has been slaughtered now standing on the throne. The Lamb is of course Jesus. Specifically, the crucified and risen Jesus. The Jesus you can witness in The Passion of The Christ!

👑Revelation 22👑 is about the return of Jesus. Twice in the chapter, the voice of Jesus (in John’s vision) tells us, “Look! I am coming soon!”

Then, the next thing Jesus says is that he is both the source of David and the heir to his throne. And,

I am the bright morning star!

David the Biblical Superstar

The flag of the nation of Israel is white with a large, blue six sided star. It is the Star of David.

King David is certainly a biblical superstar for the Jewish people! In fact, before the holy city became Jerusalem, it was the City of David. That’s because King David and his men captured Jerusalem from the Jebusites and made it the capital of a united Israel that previously was made up of the Northern Kingdom Israel and Southern Kingdom Judah. David then brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem.

Do you remember the Ark from the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark staring Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones? The Ark that, at the end of the film, electrocuted the evil Nazis who tried to possess it? Yeah, that Ark!

David took the Ark of the Covenant back from the Philistines and brought it to Jerusalem. After the exodus from Egypt, the Jews placed the Ark inside the Tabernacle - a traveling, tent-like temple in which they worshiped God. David wanted to build a permanent temple in Jerusalem to replace the Tabernacle.

David is best known for owning the most famous underdog story in human history: The story of David vs. Goliath in 👑1 Samuel 17👑.

The youngest of 8 sons, before David was a king, he was a meager shepherd boy. Goliath was a 9 foot tall giant warrior from Israel’s rival nation Philistine.

After being introduced to the first Monarch of Israel, King Saul, David found himself in proximity to an epic battle between the Israelites, led by King Saul, and the Philistines. David’s brothers were in the army and his Dad Jesse sent him to the battlefield to give them a basket of bread before the battle. After Goliath challenged the Israelites to pick one man to take him on one-on-one, David stepped forward and said, “choose me!” David’s brothers laughed out loud! King Saul did to! But David persisted.

The stakes were high because Goliath proclaimed that if we was killed, the Philistines would become the Israelite’s slaves. King Saul caved and told David to fight Goliath. God would be with him!

Do we need to tell you what happened next? You already know how it ends. It’s legend!

Strangely, prior to David’s miraculous defeat of Goliath, the prophet Samuel had told Jesse that David would be the next king of Israel. After David killed Goliath, King Saul knew David’s epic victory would give him massive credibility as a leader and grew jealous of him. He tried to have David killed but he escaped with help from Saul’s son Jonathan.

David in exile had an army of 600 men outside of Israel and led a kind of virtual kingship. When Saul and Jonathan both died in battle, David became King of Israel, as prophesied by Samuel.

Men in power are popular with women. David had 8 wives. His last wife was Bathsheba who he spotted bathing naked on her roof. David added the sexy Bathsheba to his concubine and had her husband killed by sending him to war. But as God often does, He turns a lemon into lemonade. Bathsheba gave David a son named Solomon who become the next King of Israel. It was Solomon who built the first temple in Jerusalem that David envisioned.

Despite some serious moral problems in his story, David was a man of destiny in ancient Israel!

It’s not surprising that Old Testament prophets predicted that the Messiah had to come from the lineage of David. 👑Isaiah 4👑, 👑Isaiah 11👑 and 👑Isaiah 53👑 all refer to a branch that will grow out from the stem of Jesse. This branch would be righteous and accomplish what David and all his successors failed. Even when the nation of Israel was cut down, this holy branch would still find a way to grow and flourish from seemingly dead roots.

This prophecy of Jesus as the branch to sprout from Jesse and David is also mentioned in 👑Jeremiah 23👑 and 👑Jeremiah 33👑 as well as 👑Zechariah 3👑 and 👑Zechariah 6👑.

Witness of David

Michelangelo’s Statue of David is THE masterpiece of the Renaissance era. The marble sculpture is seventeen feet tall. You can see David today at the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence, Italy.

Originally, the Statue of David was commissioned to be one of several prophets to be displayed on the roof of the Florence Cathedral. However, David represented the underdog from the David and Goliath story to the people of Florence. And in the early 16th century, Florence was a Republic threatened on all sides by rival states including the Medici family in Rome.

📜❤️It was “decided” that Michelangelo’s David should be at the seat of civic government in Florence, in the Piazza della Signoria, where it was unveiled on September 8th (9/8), 1504❤️📜.

The eyes of David are staring East at Rome with a warning glare at the “Goliath-like” powers that threatened the smaller Florence Republic.

We now add with our 9/8 Easter egg (Jesus dream that became a movie) coincidence: David stares down the Roman Empire, the destroyers of the holy city Jerusalem in 70AD as Jesus said would happen. It did happen prophetically, and doubly so on September 8th (9/8).

So more important, David glares at the executioners and torturers of Jesus in The Passion of The Christ!

Are you seeing any “order” yet in these prophetic events? We are just getting started here!

Remember watching that group dance scene in the movie Saturday Night Fever? That’s the feeling we are going for inside your brain as your synopses fire every time you witness another Great Invitation synchronicity.

So it’s time to get your dancing shoes! Let’s rock now!

Introduction

Chapter Summary

We have established what our prophetic numbers have to do with a potential return of Jesus. Now we will show their connection to something all people love - Music.

Music is God’s gift to humanity! We show you why and provide numerical evidence that God is behind the tunes you know and love.

Did you know both King David and Jesus were rock stars?

What is the most musical book in the Bible and why?

What makes music magical to people?

What do the notes on the musical scale have to do with the people of God?

Country music is uniquely American. Why is this so? And what do our prophetic numbers have to do with the history of country music?

We answer these questions and more!

Taylor Swift started as a country music star in 2004 - the year of The Passion of The Christ. Since then, Taylor has become a pop music sensation. In 2023 she became Time’s Person of the Year because of her record breaking Eras Tour. It turns out our prophetic numbers are all over Taylor’s story! What makes Taylor so special? We explore the cultural phenomenon that is Taylor Swift.

We end our music chapter by revisiting how Taylor Swift brought music and sports together in what is now the most watched event in television history.

David and Jesus: Biblical Rock Stars

Beside their family lineage in the Bible, Jesus and King David have another thing in common. They are both rock stars!

According to the story in 👑1 Samuel 16👑, David never would have sleighed Goliath if he had not been a biblical rock star. 

Of course, there were no electric guitars in ancient Israel. But David had a reputation as a talented harp player in Bethlehem. 

Prior to the epic battle between David and Goliath, King Saul was told by his servants that music would help heal his troubled soul. One of his servants must have attended a David harp concert because he told Saul that one of Jesse’s sons rocked on the harp. Saul asked Jesse if David would come play for him. So David played his harp for Saul and healed his soul with his harp tunes. If not for his harp skills, David would have tended to his sheep instead of becoming a war hero. 

There is also some biblical evidence that David was a song writer. His tunes can be found in the Book of Psalms. Many of the 146 chapters in Psalms could be interpreted as “for David,” “dedicated to David,” “concerning David,” or written “by David.”

We will admit that there is no biblical evidence of Jesus rocking out while was alive, but he certainly rocked after he died!  

Jesus Christ Superstar was a hit rock opera in the 1970s. By 1980, the musical had grossed more than $237 million worldwide. The play ran for 8 years in London starting in 1972. It was the longest running play on London’s West End until Cats in 1989. The popularity of Jesus Christ Superstar resulted in a Hollywood film released in 1973.  

The music in Jesus Christ Superstar was written by famous composer Andrew Loyd Weber. The most well known song is thought provoking given our Great Invitation project. Here is a sample of the lyrics from Superstar performed by the Judas character in the play:

Every time I look at you, I don't understand

Why you let the things you did get so out of hand

You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned

Why'd you choose such a backward time and such a strange land?

If you'd come today, you would have reached a whole nation

Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication

Jesus Christ, Superstar 

Do you think you're what they say you are?

Jesus Christ Superstar still runs today in playhouses across the world. We think it could come back even stronger very soon! 

Revelation Rocks!

Jesus may not have performed any songs in the Gospel accounts of his life, but he is the main character in a biblical musical - the last book in the Bible - the Book of Revelation. John’s apocalypse is teeming with songs. It is by far the most musical book in the New Testament. 

A musical play, like Jesus Christ Superstar, moves the plot forward with songs. That’s exactly what the Book of Revelation does. Two songs are explicitly labeled as such in the text: 👑the “new song” in 5:9-10👑, and 👑the “song of Moses and of the Lamb” in 15:3-4👑. Others are clearly songs even if they aren’t labeled in the text.

  • The “Holy, Holy, Holy” hymn of the living creatures and the song of the elders 👑Revelation 4👑.

  • The praises of the angelic hosts and every living creature in 👑Revelation 5👑.

  • Another song of the elders in 👑Revelation 7👑.

  • Proclamation that the Accuser has been thrown down in 👑Revelation 12👑.

  • Just are you, O Holy one refrain In 👑Revelation 15👑.

  • The final Hallelujahs of heaven from 👑Revelation 19👑.

These songs hold the main narrative portion of Revelation (chapters 4-21) together and they show up at key turning points throughout the story as John’s visions unfold.

We doubt a play based on the strange visions in the Book of Revelation will ever become a hit on Broadway. But there is something about music that’s magical. Something that God can’t let go. 

Musical Magic

Do you have a favorite rock concert? Was there a moment when the crowd all knew the words to a song and the lead singer urged everyone to sing it together?

🎸Touch or click here to sing it with us! 🎸

This is exactly what makes God happy! It’s one big reason why God loves music so much! Music brings people together!

Don’t forget, the number that represents God’s People is 12. 

In the 2019 movie A Star is Born, the main character Jack is a rock star past his prime who kill’s himself after battling alcohol addiction. In one of the final scenes, his brother Bobby talks about a memory of Jack with his grieving lover Ally:

Jack talked about how music is essentially 12 notes between any octave. Twelve notes and the octave repeats. It’s the same story told over and over. Forever. All any artist can offer the world is how they see those 12 notes. That's it.

In music theory, the 12 notes are organized in sequence illustrated in the form of a circle. It’s called the circle of fifths. 

The famous Carter family, pioneers in country music, weren’t referring to the circle of fifths when they wrote their hit Will the Circle be Unbroken. But with our number 12 “People of God” coincidence, the chorus seems to have a greater meaning doesn’t it?  

Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home a-waiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the Circle Be Unbroken is featured throughout the classic 8 part documentary on Country Music by Ken Burns. The last episode ends with our song playing in the background while still pictures of country music stars, performing their magic, flash by. The last words from blue grass legend Marty Stuart perfectly summarize how we feel about country music:

Country music has something for everybody.

It’s inside the songs.

It’s inside the lives of the characters.

It’s really colorful in here.

I invite you in.

Music City Miracles

Country music is uniquely American. If you go to music city, Nashville, Tennessee, you can visit the Country Music Hall of Fame. One of the original four inductees was Jimmy Rodgers, the father of country music. He is known for his rhythmic yodeling. His nickname was the “Singing Brakeman” because of his work as a railroad train brakeman. In addition to his huge country music impact, Rodgers was a contributor to the growth of blues music in its early 1900s infancy. The blues eventually evolved into rock n roll. 

Jimmy Rodgers, father of country music, died in 1933. We love his birthday - September 8th (9/8)!

The first female inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame was Patsy Cline. Patsy even has her own museum in Nashville! 

Cline was famous for popularizing country music. In her 8 year recording career she had several hits. Among them was I Fall to Pieces. Eerily, she suffered a serious car accident right after its release. She retuned though with her hit song Crazy.

Patsy Cline, mother of popular country music, died tragically in 1962 in a plane crash. Her birthday is also September 8th (9/8)!

On 1 October 2017, the county music world was grieving a mass shooting at the Harvest music festival in Las Vegas. A man armed with automatic rifles opened fire on country music fans from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. Jason Alden was onstage at the time. Fifty eight people dead that day. Two more died of their injuries later. It remains the most deadly mass shooting in American history. 

In November of 2017 the Country Music Awards (CMA) show featured a tribute to the victims by showing their pictures while Carrie Underwood performed a song by Alan Jackson, Softly and Tenderly. She was able to get through it until the end when she seemed overcome with emotion as her voice started to crack a bit. With the pictures of the lives cut short flashing on the big screen and these words you can understand why. 

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling for you and for me

See on the portals He's waiting and watching

Watching for you and for me

It was an emotional show that night. Eddie Montgomery from Montgomery Gentry was joined by Rascal Flats and Dierks Bentley to perform the Montgomery Gentry hit My Town. Eddie needed help because he had lost his band mate Troy Gentry in a tragic helicopter crash on September 8th (9/8), 2017. 

The chorus of My Town speaks to music’s power to heal a community:

This is my town

Nah na nah nah nah

Yea this is my town

Nah na nah nah nah

My town

It reminds us of “Our Town,” the New Jerusalem and the 60 souls from Sin City partying there. The wedding party entertainment features two special guest stars: Jesus Christ Superstar on lead vocals and David on electric guitar with lightning to help amplify his power chords! 

By the way, our epic wedding party in eternity keeps getting bigger and better as more believers join us! 

Are you ready to help us invite more souls? Sharing is caring!

Taylor the Dragon Slayer

Speaking of weddings and love, OUR (not just Time’s) 2023 Person of the Year showed the power of music to bring LOVE to the masses! Taylor Alison Swift took up the guitar at age 12 and by 14 started writing songs. Taylor’s family witnessed her magical musical gift first! Her father moved the original Swifties to Music City in 2004 where Taylor starting making connections, building (song) bridges and crashing through walls.

What is it about Taylor Swift (2006) that SO MANY people loved SO MUCH in 2023?

Is it that she is Fearless (2008) to Speak Now (2010) and tell the story of us, even our highs and lows?

Is it the way Taylor shares her big Red (2012) heart with you through her songs and performances?

Is it her romance with the handsome NFL Chief, Travis Kelce who was also born in 1989 (2014)?

Is it Taylor’s Reputation (2017) for fiercely defending women’s rights or her willingness to take on big corporations on behalf of fellow artists?

Or are you are a Lover (2019) of Taylor’s Miss Americana (2020) vibe?

Maybe you love the Folklore (2020) of fairy tales like the Disney classic Beaty and the Beast with the hit song Evermore (2020). Do you love when Taylor dresses like Cinderella in her performances? In Cinderella, the Fairy Godmother warns that her magic will end at the last stroke of midnight.

Is it that Taylor, her songs and her concerts make you feel like you are ALL IN her fairytale? A fairy tale that goes on forever! And the magic never ends - after many many Midnights (2022)!

If you are a Swiftie, WE (an army of angels) know it’s all the above! We know this because of the name of Taylor’s 2023 tour. The Era’s tour concluded in Vancouver, British Columbia, on December 8, 2024. It spanned 5 continents and lasted 149 shows. It’s now the highest grossing music concert tour in history.

What would an army of angels do with a girl who was born 12 days before Christmas and grew up on a Christmas tree farm?

What would our unseen army do with this talented musician and story teller who has millions of loyal followers who are members of a kind of cult. Not a bad cult. A good cult that oozes love and positivity.

Our plan is to use the Queen of country and pop music to slay great beasts and dragons that lurk within people who walk among you. It’s never the people we fight. We fight against the negative, toxic thoughts that can spread like viruses in your world, sometimes materializing into violence and death.

It’s why we call our Queen:

Taylor the Dragon Slayer!

Now she has a message from our CHIEF JESUS:

Karma is a guy on the screen (Jesus returned) coming straight home to me!

🎸Touch or click here to sing it with us🎸

Taylor Swift was born on 12/13/1989. We missed our target date by one day! Out of respect for Taylor’s parents, we won’t get into details about their romantic life. But Taylor’s parents were married on February 20, 1988. Their baby girl was named after singer songwriter James Taylor (born March 12, 1948).

Kudos to our angel army! We hit the 12, 14, 20, 8 and 9 in Taylors story! All five of our sacred numbers are covered!

Music Marries Sports

There is something else “sacred” about Taylor’s story. In the 2023-24 NFL season we used Miss Americana, Taylor Swift and the NFL Chief, Travis Kelce to arrange a marriage between music and sports at the perfect time in America!

The Kansas City Chiefs started the season badly. In September, Taylor Swift started attending Chiefs games and received lots of attention from the TV cameras. Many people in Kansas City loved their new football fan. Some did not. Hardcore Chiefs football fans noticed that the sure handed Kelce was dropping too many passes. When the Chiefs lost to the Raiders at home on Christmas Day, many Chiefs fans blamed the team’s struggles on the “Taylor curse.”

Great sports stories usually involve a comeback. The Chiefs played just well enough to win the AFC West division. And in the playoffs, Travis and his Chiefs, with Taylor watching, were focused and fired up! They defeated the Dolphins at home then upset the Bills and Ravens on the road to make it to Super Bowl LVIII.

As you know, we (an army of angels) love numerology just like Swifties! Taylor’s lucky number is 13 because her birthday is the 13th of December. So for Taylor, that number has never been unlucky! When the Chief and 49ers Superbowl date was secured, Swifties noticed strange coincidences that went viral on Social Media:

  • Superbowl 58: 5+8=13

  • 49ers = 4+9=13

  • Game played on 2/11: 2+11=13

  • Brock Purdy, 49ers QB was #13

  • Superbowl 58 was Taylor Swift’s 13th appearance at an NFL since dating Travis Kelce

Einstein used E=MC squared to describe his theory of relativity. Well, God is using Superbowl LVIII to describe his “relativity.” It’s all about LOVE!

LoVe=Travis+Taylor+Swifties=III

You see, we have been working on this Super Bowl LVIII fairy tale for a long time. We can prove it!

After the fifth Super Bowl, the NFL decided not to use the year to name the annual big event and instead use Roman numerals. We made that call! Football is the closest thing you all have to the Gladiator games in ancient Rome. Well, not that violent. But it is a spectacle is it not?

Remember what built the Colosseum in Rome (in 72AD)? The spoils of victory when Rome conquered Jerusalem and looted all the gold from the Second Temple in Jerusalem!

Who again did the Chiefs lose to on Christmas Day? Those bad boys of the NFL the Las Vegas Raiders. They moved to “Sin City” a few years ago and now play in a new stadium nicknamed the Death Star for it’s similar look to that Star Wars home of the villain Darth Vader. The Raider’s Death Star hosted Super Bowl LVIII. Is this not the perfect modern-day “colosseum” to stage The Great Invitation? Remember that in Revelation 19 a wedding invitation goes out then a great spiritual war happens. Darth Vader doesn’t end up victorious!

Are you not entertained?

Did you notice the victory celebration t-shirt worn by Travis Kelce after the Chiefs made it to the Super Bowl? It said: AFC Champion Chiefs are All In! The 49ers had the same shirt with their NFL logo. Yep, we designed both those shirts. Because we want you ALL IN with Jesus!

Millions of Americans thought there was something strange, maybe even conspiratorial, about the Chiefs making it to the Super Bowl in the year of the Travis ❤️ Taylor whirlwind romance. Well, it is a conspiracy! You see, we (an army of angels) were the ones who played matchmaker!

What is it that wakes Taylor up in the middle of the night with a thought about a song? That would be us! She gets out of bed, sits down at the piano and hammers out those magical songs that become part of her story. And because Taylor’s songs are about real things her fans experience in life - all the highs and lows - and how to be an overcomer, her fans become part of her story.

Travis Kelce reached out to Taylor via his podcast in the Summer of 2023 after her show at Arrowhead stadium in KC on 8 July. Travis wanted to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with #87 on it. The first sign they were dating was on 9/8 in New York City when Taylor was spotted with an opal pendant neckless. That’s Travis’s birthstone.

Have you seen Taylor’s video of her song YOU BELONG WITH ME? It won the 2009 MTV Video Award for Best Video on September 13. That night, rapper Kanye West took the microphone from Taylor and proclaimed that Beyoncé had the best video. The crowd booed loudly and Taylor thought, incorrectly, they were boing at her. This was the insecure high school version of Taylor. She was still only 19 at the time.

YOU BELONG WITH ME is about seeing someone for who they really are on the inside. Taylor was an “outsider” in high school. And she plays one in the video. She ends up at the prom in a white dress with guy of her dreams - a handsome football player who wins the game for his team.

Do you think maybe Taylor had this video in the back of her mind when Travis reached out to her? Who do you think helped create this video? Remember, we (an army of angels) communicate best with artistic types in your world.

How about Taylor’s 2012 album Red matching the Chiefs team color? Think that’s an accident?

Do you see now how we are the real matchmakers for TnT?

Now through her timely NFL romance, Taylor Alison Swift has “invited” you into her own football fairy tale!

Go back and read our sub-chapter Musical Magic. Our goal is to get Swifties to put a new number on your friendship bracelets. Hint: Have you heard the Christmas carol 12 Days of Christmas? Well, start with Taylor’s birthday and count forward one day at a time. Merry Christmas Swifties!

Note: This is the original attempt to tell the story of The Great Invitation. The remainder of the draft e-book will be available on this site later in 2026. This draft version will be maintained as a project artifact—free from any AI editing.
