God Continues To Speak
In These Last Days
QUESTION 1: HOW HAS GOD SPOKEN TO US?
ANSWER 1: Through His Word
Through Answered Prayer
Through Prophesies From Individuals
Through Words Of Knowledge From Individuals
By Personal Revelation To Individuals
In Visions
In Dreams
QUESTION 2: IN THESE LAST DAYS, WILL GOD SPEAK TO THE WORLD IN
SEEMINGLY NEW WAYS AND LIKE NEVER BEFORE?
ANSWER 2: YES! I BELIEVE YES!
QUESTION 3: AS A WAY OF SPEAKING TO MAN, WOULD GOD INSPIRE THE
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF ONE OR MORE SHOPPING
MALLS IN PENNSYLVANIA WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS LISTED
BELOW?
Having shape and outward appearance similar to that of
The City of Jerusalem during the time of Jesus.
Having at least 13 physical features that can be referenced to at least
18 scripture verses concerning
The Temple,
The City of Jerusalem,
Mt. Zion, and
The New Jerusalem.
Having at least 20 physical features that can be referenced to historical
documentation and renderings of
The City of Jerusalem and
The Temple
as they were during the time of Jesus.
ANSWER 3: YES! I BELIEVE YES!
Version Dated March 7, 2008
The Lord’s Mt. Zion Page 8 of 46
QUESTION 4: DOES THIS SOUND LIKE FALSE TEACHING, SOMETHING CRAZY,
AND UNLIKE ANYTHING GOD WOULD DO?
ANSWER 4: NO! THIS IS NOT FALSE TEACHING.
THIS IS NOT CRAZY.
THIS IS NOT UNLIKE THINGS THAT GOD WOULD DO.
This is similar to how God spoke to the people of Israel through the prophet
Ezekiel. Read the following scripture passages for verification.
Ezekiel 40: 01 to 04
Ezekiel 43: 10 to 12
Ezekiel 44: 05 to 06
In these passages, God spoke to the people of Israel through Ezekiel as follows:
Ezekiel 40: 01 to 04 ***** expand ****
Ezekiel 43: 10 to 12 ***** expand ****
Ezekiel 44: 05 to 06 ***** expand ****
Therefore, ________________________________________
QUESTION 5: WHY DID GOD INSTRUCT EZEKIEL IN THAT WAY?
ANSWER 5: Because God wanted the people of Israel to repent. He wanted them to turn away
from their sin and turn back to Him.
QUESTION 6: WHY WOULD GOD INSPIRE THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF
SHOPPING MALLS HAVING PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
SIMILAR TO CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CITY OF JERUSALEM,
AND HAVING SIGNIFICANCE TO THE TEMPLE AND MT. ZION?
ANSWER 6: In similar fashion to the way God spoke to the people of Israel during Ezekiel's
time, He speaks to the people of the Church today.
God still wants His people (and surely all people) to repent, to turn away from
their sin and turn back to Him.
Version Dated March 7, 2008
The Lord’s Mt. Zion Page 9 of 46
QUESTION 7: CAN THIS BE SHOWN TO BE OF GOD?
ANSWER 7: YES! I BELIEVE YES!
The assignment that God has given to me is to show what He has done, to learn
His purpose and message, and to tell His message.
He has revealed this by showing the first mall, The York Galleria, that has
been designed, constructed, and opened for business. I've seen,
photographed, and studied its features.
He wants the mall and its features to be studied.
He wants three other malls to be investigated.
The second mall, The Johnstown Galleria, is under construction and
scheduled to be open for business in October 1992
The third mall, The Altoona Galleria, is still in the design development
phase.
The fourth mall, The Frazier Galleria, is still in the design
development phase. Currently there is opposition to its construction.
He wants His purpose and His message studied and thoroughly understood.
He wants the significant physical features of the malls shown and His
message told to the people of the Church.
QUESTION 8: WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATUS OF THIS ASSIGNMENT? (to update)
ANSWER 8: The current status of this assignment is as follows:
1. A slide presentation showing the first mall and historical renderings has
been developed. This is being used for presentation to large groups of people.
2. A poster board presentation with photographs and maps has been
completed. This is being used for presentation to individuals and small
groups of people.
3. A study of God's intended purpose and message is underway. The
message predominantly involves the following:
A. Repentance
B. The Temple
C. Look To Jerusalem
D. The Bride of Christ
E. False Prophets and False Teaching
4. Presentations have been given to various groups
5. This project is massive. The study of God's and His revelation is
continuous. I believe God's will is to reveal this as it is developed and
understood. As Ezekiel spoke to the people of Israel, this message is to the
people of the Church.
6. A continual seeking of God's Will is necessary in order to carry out this
assignment fully and accurately. Also, personal repentance and other
preparation are needed by carried by just one voice.

The Lord’s Mt. Zion Page 10 of 46
QUESTION 9: DO YOU HAVE A PART IN THIS PARTICULAR MOVE OF GOD?
ANSWER 9: YES! I BELIEVE YES!
You have received this introduction to this revelation because I believe God has
directed me to send it to you. Please pray. Seek God's Will to see if I heard His
voice concerning you.
What your exact involvement is in this, I cannot be sure. But, I do believe that
this message is far too massive and far to urgent to be carried by one voice.
If The Lord is speaking to you about this and you want to hear or see more
information about this, please contact me.

IX. MY STATEMENT
Version Dated March 7, 2008
The Lord’s Mt. Zion Page 15 of 46
I. THE ASSIGNED TASK
EZEKIEL 40: 1 to 4
01. It was the twenty-fifth year of our captivity.
It was at the beginning of the year,
on the twenty-fifth day of the month.
It was in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem was defeated.
On that same day I felt the power of The Lord.
He brought me to Jerusalem.
02. In the visions of God
He brought me into the land of Israel
He put me on a very high mountain.
On the southside of the mountain
there were some buildings that looked like a city.
03. The Lord took me closer to the buildings.
I saw a man who looked as if he were made of bronze.
He was standing in the gateway.
He had a cord made of linen and
a stick in his hand,
both for measuring.
04. The man said to me,
"Human being,
look with your eyes and
hear with your ears. And
pay attention to all that I will show you.
That's why you have been brought here.
Tell the people of Israel all that you see.
Version Dated March 7, 2008
The Lord’s Mt. Zion Page 16 of 46
II. THE VEHICLE - TELL ABOUT THE TEMPLE
EZEKIEL 43: 10 to 12
10. "Human being,
tell the people of Israel about the Temple.
Then they will be ashamed of their sins.
Let them think about the plan of the Temple.
11. Then they will be ashamed of all they have done.
Let them know the design of the Temple.
Let them know how it is built.
Show them its exits and entrances.
Show them all its designs
all its rules, and
all its teachings.
And
write the rules as they watch.
Do this so they can obey all the Temple's teachings and rules.
12. This is the teaching of the Temple:
All the area around the top of the mountain is most holy.
This is the teaching of the Temple."
Version Dated March 7, 2008
The Lord’s Mt. Zion Page 17 of 46
III. NATURAL (FIRST) REVEALS THE SPIRITUAL (SECOND)
1 CORINTHIANS 15: 44 TO 47
44. The body that is "planted" is a physical body.
When it is raised, it is a spiritual body.
There is a physical body. And
there is a spiritual body.
45. It is written in the Scriptures:
"The first man became a living person."
But (the writer of the scripture goes on to say)
the last Adam became a spirit that gives life.
46. The spiritual man did not come first.
It was the physical man who came first:
then came the spiritual.
47. The first man came from the dust of the earth.
The second man came from heaven.
NOTES:
1. Through the physical eyes, we gain insight into the spiritual.
2. First the natural, then the spiritual.
3. The Old Testament Natural The New Testament concealed.
The New Testament Spiritual The Old Testament revealed.
Version Dated March 7, 2008
The Lord’s Mt. Zion Page 18 of 46
IV. GOD'S REVELATION TO US
DANIEL 02: 27 to 30
27. Daniel answered,
"No person can explain to the king
the secret he has asked about.
No wise man, magician, or fortune-teller can do this.
28. But there is a God in heaven who explains secret things.
God has shown King Nebuchadnezzar
what will happen at a later time.
This is your dream.
This is the vision you saw while lying on your bed:
29. My king, as you were lying there,
you thought about things to come.
God, who can tell people about secret things,
showed you what was going to happen.
30. God also told this secret to me.
It is not because I have greater wisdom than other men.
It is so that you, my king, may know what it means.
In that way you will understand what went through your mind.
Version Dated March 7, 2008
The Lord’s Mt. Zion Page 19 of 46
V. GOD'S DIRECTION; MAN'S HEART
ISAIAH 45: 13
13. I have raised him (Cyrus) up in righteousness, and
I will direct all his ways:
He shall build my city, and
he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward,
saith the Lord God of Hosts.
ISAIAH 61: 8
08: For I The Lord love judgement,
I hate robbery for burnt offerings; and
I will direct their work in truth, and
I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
PROVERBS 16: 9
09. A man's heart devises his way:
but
the Lord directs his steps.

The Lord’s Mt. Zion Page 20 of 46
VI. FALSE TEACHERS & FALSE PROPHETS - PER EZEKIEL
EZEKIEL 1 to 7
01. The Lord spoke His word to me:
02. "Human being,
prophesy against the prophets of Israel.
Say to those who make up their own prophesies:
"Listen to the word of the Lord.
03. This is what the Lord God says:
How terrible it will be for the foolish prophets.
They are the ones who follow their own ideas. And
they have not seen a vision from me.
04. People of Israel,
your people have been like wild dogs
hunting to kill and eat among the ruins.
05. Israel is like a house of ruins.
But you have not gone up into the broken places.
Your prophets have not repaired the wall.
So how can Israel hold back the enemy in the battle
on the Lord's day of judging?
06. Your prophets see false visions.
They prophesy lies.
They say, "This is the message of the Lord."
The Lord has not sent them. But
they still hope their words will come true.
07. You said, "This is a vision from the Lord."
But this is a false vision.
Your prophesies are lies because I have not spoken.
Version Dated March 7, 2008
The Lord’s Mt. Zion Page 21 of 46
VI. RECOGNIZING FALSE TEACHERS & FALSE PROPHETS
1 JOHN 4: 1 to 3
01. My dear friends,
many false prophets are in the world now.
So, do not believe every spirit.
But test the spirits, to see if they are from God.
02. This is how you will know God's Spirit:
One spirit says, "I believe that Jesus is the Christ
who came to the earth and
became man."
03. Another spirit refuses to say this about Jesus.
That spirit is not from God,
but
is the spirit of the Enemy of Christ.
You have heard that the Enemy of Christ is coming.
And now he is already in the world.
Version Dated March 7, 2008
The Lord’s Mt. Zion Page 22 of 46
VI. RECOGNIZING FALSE TEACHERS & FALSE PROPHETS
(RESPONSIBILITY)
2 PETER 2: 1 to 21 FULL TEXT
01. There used to be false prophets among God's people,
just as there are now.
And you will have some false teachers in your group.
They will secretly teach things that are wrong -
teachings that will cause people to be lost.
They will even refuse to accept the Master, Jesus,
who bought their freedom. And so
they will quickly destroy themselves.
02. Many will follow their evil ways and
say evil things about the Way of truth.
03. Those false teachers
only want your money. So
they will use you by
telling you what is not true.
But God has already judged them guilty. And
they will not escape the One who will destroy them.
10. ..... These false teachers
do anything they want and brag about it.
They are not afraid to say bad things
about the glorious angels.
11. The angels are much stronger and
more powerful than false teachers.
But even the angels do not accuse them
with insults before the Lord.
12. But
these men
say bad things about what they do not understand.
They are like animals that act without thinking. .....
13. They have caused many people to suffer; so
they themselves will suffer.
That is their pay for what they have done.
They take pleasure in doing evil things openly. So
they are like dirty spots and stains among you.
They bring shame to you in the meals that you eat together.

14. Every time
they look at a woman they want her.
Their desire for sin is never satisfied.
They lead weak people into the trap of sin.
They have taught their hearts to be selfish.
God will punish them.
15. These false teachers
left the right road and
lost their way. ...
17. Those false teachers
are like rivers that have no water.
They are like clouds blown by a storm.
A place in the blackest darkness has been kept
for them.
18. They brag with words that mean nothing.
By their evil desires
they lead people into the trap of sin.
They lead away people that are just beginning to escape
from other people who live in error.
19. They promise them freedom, but
they themselves are not free.
They are slaves of the things that will be destroyed.
For a person is a slave of anything that controls him.
20. They were made free from the evil in the world
by knowing Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
But if
they return to evil things and these things control them,
then it is worse for them than it was before.
21. Yes, it would be better
for them to have never have known the right way.
That would be better than to know the right way and
then to turn away from the holy teaching
that was given to them.

09. I wrote a letter to the church.
But Diotrephes will not listen to what we say.
He always wants to be their leader.

VII. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
2 JOHN 01: 07 to 11 FULL TEXT
07. Many false teachers are in the world now.
They refuse to say that
Christ came to earth and

Do not lose the reward that you have worked for.
Be careful,
so that you will receive your full reward.
09. A person must continue to follow only the teaching of Christ.
If he goes beyond Christ's teaching,
then he does not have God.
But if he continues to follow the teaching of Christ,
then he has both the Father and the Son.

then do not accept him into your house.
Do not welcome him.
11. If you accept him,
you are helping him with his evil work.

36. Yes, God made all things. And
everything continues through God and
for God.
To God be the glory forever! Amen.
JOHN 01: 01 TO 05
01. Before the world began,
there was the Word.
The Word was with God, and
the Word was God.
02. He was with God in the beginning.
03. All things were made through him.
Nothing was made without him.
04. In him there was life.
That life was light for the people of the world.
05. The light shines in the darkness.
And

If God put everything under his control,
there was nothing left that he did not rule.
But we do not yet see him ruling over everything.
09. But we see Jesus!
For a short time he was made lower than the angels.
But now we see him wearing a crown of glory and honor
because he suffered and died.
Because of God’s grace
he died for everyone.
10. God is the One who made all things.
And all things are for his glory.
God wanted to have many sons share his glory.
So he made perfect the one who leads people to salvation.
He made Jesus a perfect Savior through Jesus' suffering.
HEBREWS 11: 03
03. It is by faith that
we understand that the whole world was made by God's command.
This means that

ACTS 17: 23 TO 24
23. I was going through your city, and
I saw the things you worship.
I found an altar that had these words written on it,
"TO THE GOD WHO IS NOT KNOWN."
You worship a God that you don't know.
This is the God I am telling you about!
24. He is the God who made the whole world and
everything in it.
He is the Lord of the land and the sky.
He does not live in temples that men build.

The Physical Leads To The Spiritual
HEBREWS 05: 21 TO 26
22. The Scriptures say that Abraham had two sons.
The mother of one son was a slave woman.
The mother of the other son was a free woman.
23. Abraham's son from the slave woman
was born in the normal human way.
But the son from the free woman
was born because of the promise God made to Abraham.
24. This makes a picture for us.
The two women are like the two agreements between God and men.
One agreement is the law that God made on Mount Sanai.
The people who are under this agreement are like slaves.
The mother named Hagar is like that agreement.
25. She is like Mount Sanai in Arabia and
is a picture of the earthly Jewish city of Jerusalem.
This city is a slave, and
all its people, the Jews, are slaves to the law.
26. But the heavenly Jerusalem which is above
is like the free woman. She is our mother.
Version Dated March 7, 2008
The Lord’s Mt. Zion Page 43 of 46
HEBREWS 08: 01 TO 05
01. Here is the point of what we are saying.
We do have a high priest that sits on the right side of God's throne in heaven.
02. Our high priest serves in the Most Holy Place.
He serves in the true place of worship
that was made by God, not by men.
03. Every high priest has the work of offering gifts and sacrifices to God.
So
our high priest must also offer something to God.
04. If
our high priest were now living on the earth,
he would not be a priest.
I say this because
there are already priests here
who follow the law by offering gifts to God.
05. The work that they do as priests
is only a dim copy of what is in
heaven.
For when Moses was ready to build the Holy Tent,
God said to him,
"Be very careful
to make everything by the plan
I showed you on the mountain."

2 CORINTHIANS 12: 01 TO 04
01. I must continue
to brag.
It will do no good, but
I will talk now about visions and revelations from the Lord.
02. I know a man in Christ
who was taken up to the third heaven.
This happened 14 years ago.
I do not know whether the man was in the body or out of the body.
But God knows.
03/04. And
I know that this man was taken up to paradise.
I don't know if he was in his body or away from his body.
But he heard things that he is not able to explain.
He heard things that no man is allowed to tell.
05. I will brag about a man like that. But
I will not brag about myself, except about my weaknesses.
