I had just finished my personal Bible study of Ezekiel, which spanned over three years. And in 1998, I
decided to take a pen and straight edge and make a blueprint or floor-plan drawing of the Temple of God which the angel had shown to Ezekiel in a vision. I actually made four such drawings-the Inner Gates, the Outer Gates and a
composite of the total structure besides the one displayed here. The angel with the measuring rod
gave Ezekiel the description of the Temple, the dimensions of the buildings and their spatial relationships. It is kinda freaky-like
an alien from a UFO gave these directions to Ezekiel. But this will not be built until the Second Coming of Christ.

Some Antichrist in the US Government did not like me going to church when I came back to Christ in 1986.
So, basically, I "dug in deep" like a good "Christian Soldier" (2 Timothy) and did my own personal
Bible studies. I used to think of the Family Bookstores at the mall as a little Gospel Lighthouse as I got mostof
my Christian teaching from the Bible and other Christian books. This collection of Bible study notes is a Christian witness
in itself. I also have there 2-29 gallon rubbermaid storage boxes filled with notes and manuscripts in that photo.I heard
once in 1977 at the Christian Serviceman's Center in Edgewood, MD that Toledo, Ohio was a world underground occult
capital-that and its sister city Toledo, Spain. I did not really believe this until I came back to Christ in 1986 and
encountered such resistance to my faith. It is a simple fact like I learned in the Army war in the Middle East will lead to
nuclear armageddon! And they did not teach the Bible in the army.

FRom 1994-1998 I had done a 3600 page Rick Warren style study of the Prophet Ezekiel. In 1998 I had an idea of making
some crude drawings of the floor plan of Ezekiel's Temple suggested in Ezekiel 40-43. Ezekiel is an Apocalyptic Prophet.
When I began in 1994 I had had some dream about visiting the drafting store in downtowm Toledo to look at drafting tables
as I had when I began college in architectural drafting in 1979. Maybe God was dropping me a hint in my dreams about finishing
the Ezekiel study. I did not have a drafting set back then. But I had a clear ruler, some graph paper and some inspiration
from the Holy Spirit. I guess this brings God the Glory. The vision of the Temple was for the Millennial Kingdom of God. And
would be built then.
I had that idea when I saw my deceased dad making some wooden model of an American Indian hunting
lodge for the Boy Scouts. And I said it would be nice to be able to deduce a floorplan of the Millennial Temple in the coming
Millennial Kingdom of God which will be set up in Jesus Christ's Kingdom. Maybe we Christians will get to serve
in it as Priests of God. But not the cellibate Cathoic kind. This drawing is one of the four views that Ezekiel 40-43 suggests. The
grand one which is a composite of the other drawings disappeared when we moved. Maybe a crooked mover or a crooked
publisher stole it.
