Author Biography
The author is a recently retired, licensed professional land surveyor, whose career emphasis was primarily on complex historical research and analysis of evidence. In this profession discovery of truth is the objective, but must be substantiated by convincing analysis capable of surviving the scrutiny of the court. This is the skill set the author has applied to the writing of the book, along with the leading of the Holy Spirit. It was in 2009 that I was moved to compile a comprehensive statement of a centuries-old problem, along with the Biblical, prophetic and historical background evidencing the problem. It was in 1998 that Elohim began to open the eyes and heart of my wife and I to the depth and breadth of Elohims Written Word of truth. We soon realized what had been missing, what had side-tracked our walk with Elohim, and plateaued our spiritual growth in the process. In mainstream religion we had been instructed through syncretistic (mixed) teachings; viz., these teachings contained some truth mixed in with false history, false Biblical interpretation, and false, Biblically unsupported religious traditions.
