On the recent radio show, “Ripping Off the Covers” (01-08-2011), I raised the issue and offered a warning about technology and the adverse effect on our brain functions, attention spans, and privacy. I interviewed Bob Dean for the Exotica show tonight, and he recommended the book below. I am now reading it…I will say more in a show upcoming.

David Flynn has been a fixture on the stage of crypto-Christian research for over fifteen years, cutting a wide path in exploring mystical and occult themes from the perspective of the Bible, appearing in numerous videos on YouTube and popping up at UFO conventions in support of his 2002 book, “Cydonia: The Secret Chronicles of Mars”.

“Temple At The Center Of Time” is slightly more Earth-bound—but not much, and far more grandiose in its reach toward tying together the disparate parts of his reaching studies into the mystic. None of that would be bad IF Flynn were better grounded in doctrine—He is not—and more consistent in both his scientific facts and the prophetic “projections” he attempts to hammer out of a cornucopia of of quasi-scientific data. The book is hopelessly confusing.

Worse: rather than go to scripture for his core validations, Flynn pulls into his sphere of influence the dubious “Book of Enoch”, the Babylonian Talmudic texts, and the Apocryphal Book of Second Maccabees along with assorted pseudipigraphal writings—and, for good measure, a citation from the equidistant letter spacing “Bible Code” software!

This book consistently comes up in my radio show talks—especially when referencing the whole pre-tribulation rapture doctrine. Read this book and ask yourself: “Where was THEIR rapture?”

This book should be right beside the Holy Bible as a “top ten” reference for believers. It builds faith, strengthens resolve, and gives insight into not ony the historical persecution of TRUE believers, but the prophetic future slaughter of believers in the end times. From the Apostle Paul to John Huss and William Tyndale—to the later martyrs of small renown. Foxe also gives us glimpses int0 the extra-scriptural details of the apostles, Paul and John which are true treasures of Christian legend.

The true history of Evangelicalism and the “reformation” before the fact—or perhaps genuine reformation, and not “protest”—- but action, is found in the story of a small persecuted band of 15th century Czechs who forged a “remnant” of Biblical Christians from the legacy of the Great Schism of Western Christianity.

A closer look at Jules Verne:
Literary classics often come with the veneer of acceptance that precludes scrutiny into esoteric and occult influences. We assign nobility to certain artists and forget that the seeds of dissimulation have been sown for many thousands of years into the cultural arc. Beloved though Verne may be, we now may examine the roots of his influences more carefully and see the patterns of cultural programming which course through the generations…the mask has been ripped off the beloved authors of yesteryears as films like the “National Treasure” series and “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”, openly portrays Masonic influences against a backdrop of adventure and heroism.

The book is a novel in the grand sense: a purposeful plot with characters that walk and breathe within the narrative and dialogue. Interwoven elements of Christian mysticism and Biblical prophecy collide with conspiracy and the new technology of the post-war America: televison.

To be sure, predispensational “evangelicals” and fellow travelers will not be hearing this information anytime soon. So-called evangelical leaders, pre-tribbers, men like John Hagee, Chuck Missler, Chuck Smith, Tim LaHaye, and a horde of other hireling shepherds will see to that…One read of this work by Norman Finkelstein and the modern-day evangelical, if he/she is reasonable at all, if they have any discernment at all, will scratch his/her head and wonder–for the first time in their lives–whether such men to whom they’ve been listening are in fact false teachers.

A huge recommendation which will aid in bible study, especially, new students:Get the book “Alleged Discrepancies of the Bible” by John W. Haley. (I) have used it, literally hundreds of times in study, apologetics, and presenting a clear gospel message. Read this book and many of the “problems” encountered in Biblical study will be resolved!

“…an historical smoking gun that fills in crucial gaps in the narrative of the plot to murder President Lincoln—it connects the dots of a conspiracy long suppressed by deliberate historical revisionism.”
