Retells in comic book format stories from the Bible.

From "Jacob to Israel": Would the least esteemed in the church reflect the Saviour's voice and become Christ as Begotten? (1 Corinthians 6:3-4, John 10:16). Such is the predestination of "Jacob", today: the "day of vengeance" and a time of "Jacob's trouble" (Jer 30:6-7, Isa 29:22-24). As long as Jacob lifts-up Jesus, eventually all will hear His voice (John 12:32). "A Constellation of Findings"! Just before midnight on 7/11/1999, I had a vision after closing a refrigerator door. Doing a 180°, a pearlescent, multitiered fountain flowed with sparking water! Right in the middle of the kitchen! Four-pointed stars popped into view, becoming larger and larger as if coming at me. Truly, hard to describe. My wife didn't believe me. What I realize today is that the enemy confused my mind after being given this beautiful vision. It was part of God's plan that I end up in a Mental Hospital, ultimately divorcing my first wife of ten years and estranged from both daughters since the ages of 5 and 8. "Crushing" can't describe it. A year later, Dr. Amen (no kidding) in Fairfield, Ca wrote in the test results from an MRI that there was a "constellation of findings". His exact words! Praise the Lord! Called and forsaken a small moment and Jacob, as judge should forgive. Lifting Jesus, a Saviour, ransoming many they live. Worn-out in the wilderness heat, still cool-words spoken. Where Satan's able to dine with the idle, tokens. Predestined, the kingdom of heaven is within you. Day of vengeance: it suffereth violence, too. Looking through a glass darkly with his tongue the devil's prey. In a "strong delusion", finishing transgression, Jacob has his say. The "11th hour" worker as 2 become 1. While the church borne the burden and heat of the sun. God's precious "least of these" witnessing two spirits. Jacob, the "two witnesses" would fail or revere it. Jesus comes at last; our blessed hope. Alas! Jacob defines God as he gropes. Light should shine out of darkness. Holy spirit lead should you hearken. With a heart for all taken by the "angel of light". He went from blind to wise, now able to write. Gathering more than he left behind like Abraham. Jacob praises like a lion and loves like the lamb.
