Introduction

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

Because we are claiming angelic intervention, this book is written from the viewpoint of angels—specifically, an army of angels. When you read WE, OUR, or US, you are hearing the collective voice of this angelic host.

Often, a human religious or spiritual experience begins when something has gone terribly wrong. Tragedy can evoke a deep sense of separation from what we instinctively know to be good and right. Surely, the first followers of Jesus—those who witnessed or heard of his crucifixion—felt this despair. Then came the news of resurrection.

Again and again, the divine finds a way to break through human pain and reveal something sacred.

Early Jewish followers of Jesus searched their Scriptures and found meaning in the prophecies of a suffering Messiah. These interpretations fueled a new religious movement—one that changed the world.

The Great Invitation shares this origin story. It, too, begins with love, ends in tragedy, only to be redeemed by love again.

The tragedy that came with our prophetic experience happened on a day Americans will never forget: December 14, 2012 — the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Our message is redemptive and invitational: good ultimately overcomes evil—so choose love now.

Throughout this book, we will show “fingerprints” of our prophetic experience appearing in historical events since the Bible was written, as well as in modern popular culture—movies, music, and sports. These connections are meant to make The Great Invitation accessible not only to believers, but also to skeptics and seekers.

For Christian readers, we will show how our witness of Jesus aligns with what he said about his return in the Gospels (👑Mark 13👑, 👑Matthew 24👑, and 👑Luke 21👑).

This is not a new theological position. The Great Invitation provides modern evidence supporting the Preterist view—the belief that prophecies concerning the return of Jesus were at least partially fulfilled with the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple in 70 AD.

What we add is not a new doctrine, but a modern exclamation point.

Are we claiming that The Great Invitation is the Second Coming of Jesus? Maybe. There are many possibilities. At a minimum, it is a remarkable witness of Jesus. And we believe that, with God, all things are possible.

What we can say with confidence is this: The Great Invitation presents a detailed, plausible scenario for understanding the return of Jesus—not as spectacle, but as presence.

The Second Coming of Jesus is the great hope of Christianity. It is often associated with the end of the world. But every human being will face an end someday. Is it possible that Jesus “returns” when you meet him—face to face—in the life to come? And that, in the meantime, God offers previews of that encounter through story, art, music, and culture?

Our (an army of angels) dream is that our website generates enough interest in The Great Invitation to make the experience we presented in the prologue happen at a theater near you!

The Greek New Testament uses the word parousia to describe the Second Coming of Jesus. The term refers not to a single moment, but to an arrival or presence—a reality that unfolds through stages over time. The Great Invitation fits this definition. It is not the conclusion of the story, but a prelude.

If our reflections on the Second Coming strike you as strange or even offensive, consider another possibility: what if this prophetic experience is simply God’s response to Sandy Hook?

Is the murder of children acceptable to the God revealed in the New Testament?
We think not.

This book offers a common-sense approach to Christian “end times” prophecy. We make no sensational predictions. No seven-year tribulation. No secret rapture. No disappearing Christians cheering while others suffer.

If you are looking for a Jesus who returns to physically remove you from the world, you won’t find him here. The Jesus encountered in The Great Invitation seeks to “rapture” the human heart—here and now.

The biblical book most often associated with extravagant predictions is Revelation. We will show how The Great Invitation aligns with Revelation when it is read as symbolic, poetic, and pastoral literature.

If Revelation confuses you, you are not alone. It is the only book of the Bible that cannot be understood intuitively by simply reading it once. Our hope is to make it clearer.

When your time comes, you are invited to a great wedding feast in eternity.
Jesus is the groom.
Humanity is the bride.
Everyone is invited.

At least, that is our mission. We are angels—we believe in miracles.

This prophecy originated in America, a nation founded on laws rather than rulers. Accordingly, in our E-Book, The Great Invitation unfolds in the loose format of a court case brief: opening statements, evidence, presentation of facts, and closing arguments. This will be a version of our prophetic experience unedited by AI (ChatGPT).

Because biblical prophecy is so misunderstood by Americans today, we will also test our prophetic experience in an AI-generated courtroom drama.

The full title of the mock AI courtroom drama we will play out is:
Good (choosing love and forgiveness in the midst of tragedy)
v.
Evil (despair, hopelessness and the absence of love)

Links to the courtroom drama webpages are here and in our upper menu as well:

Our courtroom drama will enforce a responsible and serious approach to our prophetic experience. This is necessary because of the event that motivated the author to undertake this project—the 2012 Sandy Hook School shooting. This was a tragic, sobering event that deserves a cautionary approach.

Our trial will also test our prophetic experience in an arena where facts, logic, and the rule of law will rigorously refine our theories and assumptions before asking readers to believe our prophetic experience is something remarkable.

The trial will be ongoing. You can participate as a jury member during the trial and ask questions after each phase: opening statements, witness testimony, and closing arguments.

After the trial finishes, the transcript will be saved and another trial started. That’s because the jury is more than 12 people. It’s anyone who might be interested in The Great Invitation on earth. And we know their collective verdict will never be unanimous!

The following roles will be acted out in our courtroom drama:

• Judge: Spock from Star Trek — clarity, balance, and restraint (played by AI in real-time)
• Plaintiff: Good — the choice of love and forgiveness amid tragedy
• Defendant: Evil — despair and the absence of love
• Prosecution Counsel: The A-Team (an army of angels) — presents the case for choosing love (played by the author in real-time)
• Defense Counsel: Satan — challenges meaning, warns against illusion (played by AI in real-time)
• Witnesses: scheduled witnesses listed in the Master Witness List: Good v. Evil (played by AI in real-time, with one exception: the author plays the Plaintiff testifying about the prophetic numbers)
• Jury: The Reader — free to decide, revise, or suspend judgment (readers can comment via blog posts; relevant comments may be evaluated by Judge Spock for admissibility in the record)

This structure also fits our wedding theme. In America, marriage is a legal covenant—and wedding receptions are celebrations of love.

So we will conclude with a symbolic wedding celebration—one you may already have attended, at least remotely, here on earth. Our upcoming musical message gives a hint of that wedding celebration.

The God of the Bible is relational. That is why, in 👑Revelation 19👑, Jesus returns in the context of a wedding feast.

Revelation spoke to its first audience using the people and events of Roman culture. We are doing something similar—using people and events from American culture to communicate an ancient hope.

And yes, there will be music.

Interlude — A Musical Message from Jesus

Before you review our mock trial or read our E-Book, we pause.

What follows is not courtroom testimony, not evidence, and not argument.

It is a literary interlude—a creative device used to communicate tone, invitation, and hope.

Throughout Scripture, God’s messages are often delivered indirectly: through parables, poetry, dreams, music, and symbolic language. Jesus himself taught this way.

In that same spirit, the following section imagines what it might sound like if the invitation at the heart of Christianity were communicated not as a decree, but as two songs—familiar, accessible, and emotionally resonant.

This message is not presented as a literal transcript, nor as proof of divine speech. It is presented as a theological meditation, rendered through modern cultural language, intended to convey meaning rather than authority.

Readers are free to:

• receive it,
• question it,
• reinterpret it,
• or skip it entirely.

Nothing in the trial or E-Book that follows depends on accepting this section as factual or binding.

Think of what follows as a parable set to music—an imaginative way of expressing the central claim of The Great Invitation:

With that understanding, we offer the following musical message.

Note: This message is a preview of the E-Book ending. It assumes readers—the jury—have just read The Great Invitation and are pondering their verdict based on the evidence presented.

Musical Message from Jesus

Commentary on the Message from Jesus

You may not appreciate everything our musical messenger represents. The truth is, there is only one human we know who is—or ever was—a perfect messenger. We assure you that this prophecy is centered on that man. Everyone else who appears in our witness will be used as a sign pointing to Jesus and to his message, delivered through us, to choose love now.

So 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 appeared to the author through four distinct encounters with Jesus’ story:

• The blockbuster Jesus film: The Passion of the Christ
• The destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple in 70 AD
• The martyrdom of a woman whose followers believed she was Jesus returned in female form: Mother Ann Lee, founder of the Shakers
• The story of King David, preserved through his iconic Renaissance statue in Florence, Italy

What if God, through us—an army of angels—influenced human decision-making just enough to reveal this numeric signature across people and historical events since the Bible was written?

What if this documentation showed non-randomness—meaning that other numbers cannot be tied to people and events, even with the help of artificial intelligence, in a way that tells a coherent story?

If all these “what ifs” were true, wouldn’t that constitute evidence for the existence of the God described in the Bible?

Remember the evidence in the O.J. Simpson murder case. There were no eyewitnesses to the murders, yet there was substantial circumstantial evidence—most notably DNA evidence—that linked Simpson to the crime scene. Think of our numbers in the same way: circumstantial evidence for our case.

The Great Invitation is part murder mystery and part wedding invitation. Those may seem like polar opposites—but not to the Christian God. The Roman government crucified an innocent man, Jesus. Yet that tragedy became the greatest love story ever told. God’s story ends, in Revelation, with His people described as a bride preparing 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 December 14, 2012, America was shocked when 20 children and six adults were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

You all know that 20-year-old Adam Lanza committed those murders. But in this case, we are prosecuting his unseen accomplices. They are legion, residing in the hearts and minds of too many people.

By proving our case, we aim to replace negative, hateful, and toxic human thoughts with positive ones—on a scale never seen before.

In the end, The Great Invitation is about one thing: 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!
