WEDDING PROGRAM
Bride = All God’s People (#12)
Groom = Jesus (#8)
Bridesmaids = The 12 girls who died at Sandy Hook on 12/14/2012
Groomsmen = The 8 boys who died at Sandy Hook on 12/14/2012
Best Man = Jessie Lewis who saved 9 fellow classmates by distracting the Sandy Hook gunman while he was reloading. Jesse told his friends to run just before he was killed.
Several Native Americans from South Dakota (Lakota) showed up at Jesse’s funeral saying they drove halfway across the country to pay respects to a great soul who had passed. They saw Jesse ascending a mountain of mountains after he died.
Priest = Nickolas Black Elk the visionary Lakota Indian Chief and Catholic convert who is eligible to become canonized as a Saint by the Church as of 2016.
Reading = Chiefs owner and founder of the American Football League - Lamar Hunt (died December 13, 2006):
1 Corinthians 13: Three things last forever - faith, hope and love. The greatest is love!
Disc Jockey = Lisa Lopez-Galvin the Chiefs fan who died tragically in a mass shooting on 2/14/2024 (Valentines Day and Ash Wednesday) at the Chiefs victory parade. Lisa was a professional radio DJ who performed at many wedding during her life.
Note: Lisa was wearing a #7 Chiefs jersey when she was shot. Lisa’s funeral services began with a rosary at the Redemptorist Catholic Church, located at 3333 Broadway Boulevard in Kansas City, MO. Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker gave Lisa’s family his #7 jersey. She was buried wearing it.
Harrison Butker (#7) kicked a record tying 4 field goals (3+3+3+3 = 12 points) including a record 57 yard field goal (5+7=12) in Super Bowl LVIII.
Super Bowl LVIII was held at Allegiant Stadium, located at 3333 Al Davis Way in Las Vegas, NV.
Remember, the number that represents our bride is 12!
🏈Inspirational and prophetic graduation speech to the Georgia Tech class of 2023🏈
First two songs at the wedding party will celebrate our bride (#12), both written by Taylor Swift.
The first is You Belong With Me.
Witness the Touchdown Jesus moments in these videos:
🎸Taylor Swift music video: You Belong With Me🎸
🏈Final play of Super Bowl LVIII🏈
The second is 22 because it is about having fun being 22. Jesse Lewis left a note to his family on a small scrap of paper before he died at Sandy Hook on 12/14/2012: “Have a Lot of Fun!”
Taylor Swift turned 23 on 12/13/2012.
The song 22 is on the Red album released in October, 2012.
During her performance of 22, at every concert, Taylor wears a fedora “hipster” hat. She selects a young boy or girl from the audience and puts the hat on their head. The young girl or boy then gives Taylor their friendship bracelet. Sharing of friendship bracelets is a “thing” at Era’s Tour concerts.
The Chiefs and Taylor Swift made it back to the Super Bowl in 2025. In Super Bowl 59, the Chiefs faced the opponent they barely defeated in Super Bowl 57, the Philadelphia Eagles. Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce’s brother, was on the losing side of that game. He retired from the NFL after that game. Who would Jason root for this time as a fan? His brother’s team? Or his long-time Eagle teammates? After the game, Jason was very down and unable to feel any joy for his former teammates. It was no fun for Swiftie’s watching at home either. The television cameras showed Taylor only once and the fans loudly booed her!
The Chiefs were down 24-0 at halftime. Raper Kendrick Lamar was the halftime performer with an all-black cast of dancers. He opened his performance with an ominous warning:
"The revolution's about to be televised. You picked the right time but the wrong guy."
Who was Kendrick referring to when he said you?
None other than your “Lawless Man of Sin!” The newly crowned 47th President of the United States, attended in person for the first time in Super Bowl history. He had started the first few weeks in office with ominous signs that he did in fact plan to be a dictator, and not just on day 1. His actions in just 3-weeks included a “shock and awe” flury of lawless executive orders, a pardon for violent insurrectionists and unleashing the richest man in the world with a team of geek squad hackers inside the federal beaurocracy. Their goal is destruction from the inside.
Evidently the “Apprentice” wasn’t impressed. He left the building at halftime. Fellon 47’s early exit could have also been because he had publicly announced to the world that we was rooting for the Chiefs. His reason was that Brittany Maholmes, the QB’s wife, is an outspoken fan of his. The “Apprentice” only chooses love when he is loved first.
With the 34 seconds to go in the 3rd quarter, the Chiefs were down 34-0. Then we (an army of angels) decided to weigh in on this sour affair to salvage a little love. The Chiefs finally came to life. The final score for the Chiefs was unlikely for a football game since it requires a successful two point conversion.
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling twenty-two
Everything will be alright if
You keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright if
We just keep dancing like we're

The Two Witnesses (David and Jesse) and the Little Scroll (lottery ticket) (Rev 10 and 11)
Reminder from Rev 9-11: Intermission between 6th and 7th trumpet blasts there is a pause or intermission.
What happens during the halftime of a football 🏈 game? The coaches strategize and change their game plan to adapt to the reality of the first half. Before our intermission in Revelation 9, we see our “coach” determine that the scary judgments didn’t work on God’s people. Hearts were not changed! So we come up with a better idea. The “halftime strategy” in Revelation 10 and 11! Words to Halo by Beyonce. Performance during Feb 3, 2013 halftime show between Ravens and the 49ers.
God makes space for “witnessing” before the 7th trumpet
THAT witnessing works! The kingdom comes to earth with 7th trumpet blast because of two witnesses and a little scroll. The gr8invitation fits perfectly here because we have two witnesses and a little scroll!
Identify the little scroll and one of the two witness in the Great Invitation. Second to come in next chapter.

Closing Summary
THE ARGUMENTS
If our Passion sequel happens, will it be a return of Jesus to the big screen? Or will it be “the return?
If our proposed Passion of The Christ sequel film is made, the following factors will determine any “second coming” beliefs:
Box office numbers
Emotional impact of the film on each individual “witness
Audience assessment of the evidence to support the “return of Jesus” in the Great Invitation.
If our movie reaches millions or billions, there will be a debate on social media and cable or streaming media. Experts and influencers will weigh in with their opinions.
There are many outcomes possible at that point.
Billy Graham: 5 things to watch for when thinking about Jesus’ return with Great Invitation argument. All from Gospel chapters.
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! For as the lightning flashes in the east and shines to the west, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.
Matthew 24:26-27 NLT
There He is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. This seems to refute a physical presence of the Son of Man. So Matthew is saying don’t look for someone you can find somewhere. Look for “light” that comes from the east and flash to the west, There were no movies at the time this was written. Is Matthew here unintentionally trying to describe the light from a movie? Also, recall that the actor Jim Caviezel, who played Jesus in The Passion of The Christ, was struck by lightning while filming the movie in Rome. Rome is to the east of America of course.
And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken. Then everyone will see the Son of Man[a] coming on a cloud with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!”
Luke 21:25-28 NLT
We have here three initial signs: in sun and moon and stars. The Great Invitation shows the solar eclipse of 12-14-2020 and the moon landing signs we found in Revelation 12.
It’s also interesting that calendar dates determine zodiac signs in astrology. Astrology is considered a pseudoscience. It speculates about human affairs and terrestrial events by studying the apparent positions of celestial objects. In other words, the earths position as opposed to the sun, moon and stars as well other planets.
The Day and Hour Unknown
However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.
Matthew 24:36 NLT
Unlike other date “predictions” made about Jesus’ return, The Great Invitation makes no such date prediction. It speculates about a book (this book) that could become a movie. The impact of the movie will depend on the number of witnesses (tickets sold) to it as a well as what people believe about it. The evidence presented in this book will be a factor in possible future “return” beliefs if the movie is made.
So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return.
Matthew 25:13 NLT
The answer above applies here as well.
So also Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.
Hebrews 9:28 NLT
It’s interesting to note this verse speaks about an “appearance.” An apparition in ancient days would be similar to a screen appearance today.
Description of Jesus’ Return in Revelation with Great Invitation argument.
“Look, he is coming with the clouds,
and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”
So shall it be! Amen.Revelation 1:7 NLT
Double meanings of Old Testament prophecies about Jesus’ first coming are common. The prophetic dates in the Great Invitation were driven by the author’s meeting of his wife Becky on Match.com, the first popular internet dating service. Another name for the internet in today’s culture is “the cloud.”
If our movie gets made everyone on the planet 🌍 would have to see it. Tall order! But still remotely possible. All the sinners, those who pierced him would have to wail at the movie. Given the Sandy Hook tragedy, a good screenwriter, director and actors should be able to make that happen.
The Throne in Heaven (chapter 4)
1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne.4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. 6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’
who was, and is, and is to come.”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throneand who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
The Scroll and the Lamb (chapter 5)
1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits[a] of God sent out into all the earth. 7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayersof God’s people. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,
and they will reign[b] on the earth.”11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. 12 In a loud voice they were saying:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”14 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

Lyrics for We are the Champions by Queen
We’ve paid our dues
Time after time
We’ve done our sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
We’ve made a few
We’ve had our share of sand
Kicked in our face
But We’ve come throughAnd we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the WorldWe’ve taken my bows
And our curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
We thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
We consider it a challenge before
The human race
And We ain't gonna loseAnd we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the WorldWe are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World

Lyrics for Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen
Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time

And the world turning inside out yeah
Floating in around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now
Don’t stop me now
'Cause i'm having a good time

Defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by

I don’t want to stop at all
I’m a rocketship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite
I’m out of control
I’m a sex machine ready to reload like an atom bomb
(Relax conservative Christians! Spirit beings can’t have sex! And remember, this song was written by Freddie Mercury!)
About to oh oh oh oh oh explode
