Introduction

You walk into the movie theater filled with anticipation. The media buzz and online chatter have reached a fever pitch. You’ve come to see the movie people can’t stop talking about: The Great Invitation.

As you wait in line, people are exiting the previous showing. Some look stunned, as if they’ve seen a ghost. Many are hugging one another. You notice red, teary eyes everywhere—but these aren’t the faces of people grieving. These are happy tears, the kind you might see when a mother or father holds their newborn for the first time.

Your anticipation builds. You think to yourself, What I’m about to witness feels more like a real-life experience than a movie.

You’re holding a large tub of popcorn, and a pair of packaged 3D glasses. This theater serves alcohol, a glass of red wine seems appropriate for The Great Invitation, so you order yourself a glass of merlow before you enter the theater.

As you take your seat, you’re glad you paid extra to see The Great Invitation in IMAX 4DX. A massive screen dominates the room. When your glasses are on, the movie will appear in full 3D. The seats will move—sometimes gently, sometimes forcefully—synchronized with the action. Rain may fall. Cold wind may blow across your face. Sound and music will surround you from every direction. Technically speaking, it’s the closest thing to physically being inside a movie.

The previews begin, but you can’t focus. If the hype is even half true, what you’re about to experience won’t be duplicated anytime soon. You know it. The previews seem endless. When will these end? you shout silently in your mind.

Finally, they do.

The Great Invitation experience begins.

After the opening credits, the screen lights up with a close-up of a lottery machine filling the frame. You’re surprised—it’s in 2D. Are my 3D glasses defective? you wonder.

You see a finger enter five lottery numbers on the keypad:

The sequence is entered three more times, each with a different Mega Ball.

The lottery ticket prints:

                       Mega Ball
8   9   12   14   20   – 7
8   9   12   14   20   – 23
8   9   12   14   20   – 27
8   9   12   14   20   – 38

Drawing Date: 12/14/2010

The camera lingers on the Illinois Lottery logo—a rainbow over a pot of gold—as a female clerk hands the ticket to a male customer.

Laughing, she says, “For eight dollars, you’d have a better chance with four random quick picks.”

The man replies, “These are special numbers. They were chosen symbolically—by a birthday coincidence (9/8), a first date (12/14), and a second date (12/20) with my wife. You could say they’re invitational. I don’t play often, and this drawing date is special too.”

She shakes her head. “Whatever floats your boat. Have a nice day, sir.”

The screen cuts to black.

An ominous orchestral score begins and slowly swells, surrounding you. The black screen lingers longer than expected, tension building.

Suddenly, bold white letters appear:

December 14, 2012
9:30 AM EST / 8:30 AM CST
Newtown, Connecticut

The screen comes alive again—now in vivid 3D. Your glasses work. Objects appear to float inches from your face, almost holographic. You realize what the director is doing. Like The Wizard of Oz, the film shifts from flat to immersive to signal a new perspective. Here, the 3D suggests a heavenly vantage point.

A sign appears in front of you:

Sandy Hook School
1956

Visitors Welcome

From above, you see an American flag barely rippling in the winter breeze. Sunlight reflects off fresh snow, burning the image into your memory.

The next scene surprises you less. It’s from the controversial 2004 film The Passion of the Christ. The buzz surrounding The Great Invitation has been fueled by director Mel Gibson’s remark that the stories inspiring this project “fit biblical descriptions of Christ’s return in unexpected ways.”

Some scholars agree the film will, at the very least, reopen conversation about the Second Coming. Others are outraged. But as Gibson learned before, controversy has a way of capturing attention.

The scene from The Passion now unfolds in 3D. Jesus speaks his final words from the cross. Below him, Roman soldiers cast lots for his robe. A tear slides down his face. The camera follows it as it falls.

Before it hits the ground, the screen goes black again.

What follows is not shown, only heard—briefly, indistinctly, restrained. It’s the sounds heard over the PA system the morning of December 12, 2012 at Sandy Hook school. Then silence. Long enough to feel unbearable.

When the screen lights up again, you’re back in 2D—back on earth—standing near a fire station across from Sandy Hook School. Parents wait for news. Their grief is unmistakable.

The story then follows Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin, parents of Jesse Lewis—a six-year-old boy whose courage saved classmates. You witness Scarlett’s journey from devastation to forgiveness, and the birth of the Choose Love movement inspired by a strange—but profound—message Jesse wrote on a chalkboard at home just before he died: “Nurturin Healin Love.”

You also witness the cruelty that followed—the hoax accusations, the lawsuits, the eventual legal reckoning. Another hard-earned moment of redemption.

Just when you think the story has ended, the screen transitions again into vivid 3D.

The heavenly vantage point has returned.

Time rewinds. You see Jesse one last time—not in fear, but in resolve. His courage creates an opening for others to escape. The violence itself is not shown. The cost is felt.

Then something unexpected happens.

Jesse’s gaze transforms into a cascade of scenes—moments from American history, art, music, and struggle—scenes you recognize from this website - The Great Invitation E-Book and the related AI generated mock courtroom drama:

Good (choosing love and forgiveness in the midst of tragedy)
v.
Evil (despair, hopelessness and the absence of love)

You recognize the pattern. The numbers. The dates. The symbolism. You understand now that the lottery numbers were never about money. They were about attention toward choosing love.

In the case of Jesse’s chalkboard message and the prophetic lottery numbers, love came before tragedy—making the choice of love after tragedy more visible and more possible for others. This mirrors the intention of Christ’s passion story as well.

From what you know about The Great Invitation from this website, you are left to wonder:

The author saved his losing lottery tickets and has them in his possession. Who saves losing lottery tickets and why? He also has proof he intended to give the money away if he won. There are so many meaningful synchronicities with these lottery numbers. The details about the events are historical not fictional. The theology works and honors the story and teachings of Jesus. Is there more than just the author’s creativity at work here?

The final sequence is breathtaking: a vision drawn from Revelation 19–22—a wedding in eternity. Music. Joy. Reunion. Invitation.

The groom is Jesus. The bride is believing Christians. The 20 Sandy Hook children who died tragically are alive onscreen again from a heavenly perspective. They are the bridesmaids and groomsmen.

This works symbolically from a biblical perspective:

Eight boys represent the groom Jesus. In biblical numerology, eight is symbolic for rebirth, resurrection and Jesus.

Twelve girls represent the bride - the people of God. In biblical numerology, twelve is symbolic for God’s people (12 tribes of Israel and 12 disciples).

You leave the theater changed. Something inside you has shifted—quietly, beautifully.

The movie ends with a simple message:

Choose love.

This film, of course, is still just a dream. It has not happened…yet.

But “The Great Invitation” is real—whether or not our movie ever comes to life.

From what you have seen so far, does this vision sound like something a loving God would want to see happen?

If you are a Christian—or simply a citizen concerned about gun violence—and you find yourself moved by this possibility, there is a simple way to help.

Sharing The Great Invitation is caring.

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.

The intention of this book—through our prophetic experience and corroborating evidence—is not to explain that tragedy, justify it, or assign meaning to innocent suffering. Rather, it is to bear witness to this claim: evil did not have the last word on that day.

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.

After reading this book, we want you to associate Revelation with two words:

WEDDING INVITATION

Because that is how Revelation ends.

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 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)

  1. Plaintiff: Good — the choice of love and forgiveness amid tragedy

  2. Defendant: Evil — despair and the absence of love

  3. Prosecution Counsel: The A-Team (an army of angels) — presents the case for choosing love (played by the author in real-time)

  4. Defense Counsel: Satan — challenges meaning, warns against illusion (played by AI in real-time)

  5. Witnesses: Scheduled witness listed in the AI Roleplay Trial Outline.

    (Played by AI in real-time with one exception. The author will play the plaintiff witnessing about the prophetic numbers.)

  6. Jury: The Reader — free to decide, revise, or suspend judgment (readers can comment via a blog post and, if appropriate, the post will be fed back to Judge Spock for assessment as to whether it is allowed in the court 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.

Introduction

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 a 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:

That love still calls.
That despair is not final.
And that the invitation has always been personal.

With that understanding, we offer the following musical message.

Note that 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.

Introduction

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

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)

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Introduction

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:

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

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

  3. The martyrdom of a woman whose followers believed she was Jesus returned in female form: Mother Ann Lee, founder of the Shakers

  4. 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.

😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
