“End-Times” and the “Other” Bible

Marshall Masters and Janice Manning © 2005 Marshall Masters

Can you imagine Biblical “End-Times” prophecies happening in
your lifetime? Does thinking about disasters like the three days
of darkness and the Wormwood predictions trouble you when you’re
alone in the still of the night? If so, the “End-times”
knowledge in a Bible-era wisdom text called The Kolbrin offers
hope through new insights. Parts of it were written in the very
days when Jesus walked the Earth, and it echoes the warnings of
the Bible, that we could be in the “End-Times!”

Unlike the rare and arcane texts used by Bible researchers, The
Kolbrin offers a familiar way to understand Bible prophecy.
Written with families in mind, it offers simple “you-were-there”
style accounts of many of the disasters also mentioned in the
Bible. As a historical text, it covers the period between Exodus
and the last additions to the New Testament.

WRITTEN IN BIBLICAL TIMES TO EXPLAIN THE END TIMES

Within its 548 pages, The Kolbrin offers a profound collection
of prophecies and creation stories. Published by Your Own World
Books in both print and ebook editions, it is now available at
Amazon.com and other popular Internet bookseller sites.

By reading and sharing this ancient text with others, you will
deepen your understanding of the Nature of God because of the
way it complements the Bible. While God used the Bible to
chronicle the growth of a Nation, The Kolbrin chronicles the
lives of those who loved Him, and in a manner that reaches deep
into the soul of the reader.

>From ancient times and different lands, the Bible and The
Kolbrin contributors describe many of the same accounts. Focused
on individual impact, The Kolbrin’s authors make you feel the
gritty darkness against your skin, hear locusts swarming in to
destroy your crops, and then leave you to watch your livestock
whither and die before you.

The Kolbrin also offers ancient stories that could have been
excluded from the Bible during its first translations centuries
ago. These ancient stories reveal new “End-Times” perspectives
with breathtaking clarity. You’ll read about “End-Times”
harbingers such as the giant “sky-monsters” (meteors) that
battled in the heavens above until God cut them apart and threw
them down upon the Earth.

ANCIENT WARNINGS OF MODERN THREATS

According to The Kolbrin, these “sky-monsters,” precede and
accompany the “The Destroyer,” a massive object in a long-period
orbit around our sun. What does it look like? They warn us it
will “burns redly” as it enters the core of our system.

Mentioned profusely in the texts, the prophecy is clear. The
“Destroyer” will return after The Kolbrin is revealed to
humanity - but could the ancients be wrong? Not likely. Our sun
is more violent now than ever before in recorded history, and
our planet is warming, as are the other major bodies in our
system. Perhaps these are harbingers of the “Destroyer,” as well.

While The Kolbrin offers somber warnings, it also offers hope.
According to the ancients, the “Destroyer” is attended by
“helpers” that can wreak havoc upon the Earth, or help humanity
to grow in wisdom, and thereby, closer to God.

SHARE THE KOLBRIN WITH OTHERS TODAY

With the future of humanity at stake, the need for the common
man to access the wisdom of The Kolbrin is paramount. The
Kolbrin Citation System is designed specially for this purpose.
Available only with Your Own World Books print and ebook
editions, it speeds collaborative studies with a Bible-intuitive
design. Optimized for popular ebook formats, it quickly leads
readers to passages of interest in ways that were unimaginable
to the original authors.

If the ancients are correct, the return of the “Destroyer” will
happen in the near future. This makes the “End-Times” warnings
of The Kolbrin a matter of urgency. For those with the foresight
to prepare, it opens a doorway to ancient knowledge stretching
back to the very days when Jesus walked the Earth.

For those on a limited budget, the publisher offers a special
low-cost edition in the Mobipocket format. Also, most local
libraries will acquire a copy of the print version upon request.

WHAT IS A GURU?

A guru is a teacher.
On the internet a guru is someone who has a lot of experience and has made the grade, ie. He/She has set up a business that is financially successful and is willing to share the experience with anyone who is interested.

Are you a guru?
If not please read on.

The majority of internet gurus are only too happy to teach. Becoming a guru in the true sense of the word.

Pick a guru.
There are at least a dozen who not only publish a newsletter with articles showing some of the tricks-of-the-trade but have also published ebooks showing in detail the best way to start and run a business.

Learn from the experts. There are hundreds of people out there who purport to be experts in ecommerse. Most of them have just read a few books and composed their own book comprised of second hand information.
You may ask “What’s wrong with that?’ it’s the same information written in a different style.”

There is just one problem. Each of the real gurus has made a success of his/her on-line business in his/her own way. If you follow the instructions of one particular guru, there is a good reason to believe that you will become successful as well.

On the other hand, an instruction book comprised of a mixture of different techniques can cause confusion and fail completely in its purpose.

I am not a guru.
You may well ask “In that case, why are you writing this article?”

A good question. I have been on the internet for a little over five years. Three years ago I decided to start my own business selling information products on-line.

I read a lot of books on the subject. I tried this way and that. Every author seemed to have his/her own method of doing things. Each one believed that their way was the best way to attain success. The point was that each method worked for that individual.

I became confused. I spent a lot of time and money going one way, only to be sidetracked into a different direction by another well-meaning expert using an entirely different method.

I was about to give up the whole idea and save what money that I had left when a phrase in one book caught my attention. It went like this: ‘There are as many right ways of setting up a business on-line as there are wrong ways.
You can mix up lots of different wrong ways and still get it wrong.
On the other hand, if you mix up a number of different right ways of doing it, you are liable to have discovered yet another way of getting it wrong.

I am sure you can see the point that I am trying to make. There are a number of right ways. Make your choice. Each guru has a way of starting and running a business. Pick just one guru and study his/her system. Don’t be sidetracked. Study your chosen system Your guru made it work. You can make it work for you.

Who are these gurus? I could give you a list. It would be subjective in as much that they may not be the ones that another person would choose. The one that I chose may not suit your temperament. It is up to you to make your own choice. There are at least a dozen who are making a six or even a seven figure income who started from scratch with little money but a lot of determination. They made it, so can you.

Don’t ever give up. You can do whatever you believe you can do. Until you try, you have no idea of your potential. Go on. Give it a go.

Have you ever wanted to lock your teacher, coach, boss, youth pastor or other authority figure up in jail? A jail and bail fundraiser may be your chance to do just that while raising money for your group at the same time.

This is a great way to raise money for most any type of organization. Some department stores have even done a version of this event to raise money for a local charity. There is very little investment, and all you need is one person who is willing to be locked up for the cause.

The person selected to be placed in jail must remain locked up until a certain amount of money is raised. Some groups have worked with the local sheriff’s office and had their representative locked up in an actual jail cell (safely away from other inmates), but you don’t have to go that far to have an effective event.

One local store manager climbed onto the roof of his store. He wasn’t allowed to come down until $10,000 had been collected for a local charity. Other groups construct a jail cell out of plywood. They set the “jail” in a spot where there will be many people passing by that they can talk to about their cause.

While this event works for most any group, it’s especially effective when the group has a popular leader. There is something memorable about seeing your beloved coach or favorite teacher locked up. It not only helps raise more money, but it also makes for a more memorable event. Pretty girls do well as jailbirds also. Some guys just can’t resist a damsel in distress.

Another way to build excitement is to have a girl in one makeshift jail cell and a guy in another one nearby and have a contest to see who can raise the most money by a certain time. The winner gets released early.

Because of the playful and unique nature of this event, it makes a great local news story. While some fundraisers lend themselves to stories done before the event, this particular event is best covered as it happens. If you’re trying to get some press coverage to get the name and cause of your group out there, this is a good option.

What you’ll need:

• A willing “inmate”. Someone who is willing to sit in “jail” for a day or until the set amount of money is raised.
• A location. You’ll need someplace to set up your jail. A high traffic area is best, so that your inmate can appeal to those walking by to donate.

Once you hold a jail and bail fundraiser it’s sure to be an event that your group will want to do again and again. This is a great way to raise money, especially if your group has lost excitement over traditional events such as candy fundraisers.

“Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the
soul.” While Plato reminds of us of musics’ ability to transcend
reality and logic, to speak to us in a dialect that only our
hearts understand, scarcely a person exists that hasn’t been
touched in some way by music. Indeed, if there is any universal
language, music would be it for all have experienced that
feelilng of being “lifted up,” even if the words are not
understood. Some even say that music and spirituality are
intertwined, and that the path to finding God can be found in
the bars of a composition. No matter what it does or is
considered to be, as Confucious so eloquently observed, “Music
produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do
without.” Where there has been people, music has coexisted, and
we need it to continue for without it we would all be in danger
of becoming robots operating by logic and necessity alone. We
find an outlet, a means of expressing and finding ourselves,
through music. Undoubtedly music is as critical to our
well-being as a roof over our heads . . . but does it offer more
to us than just the ability to feel? Does it, can it, actually
help us to learn?

The Mozart effect exploded in the early part of the 1990s. Upon
being told that Mozart was shown to help increase IQ test
levels, mothes everywhere rushed to Best Buy and Circuit City to
find CDs for their kids to listen to. The study was highly
publicized, and as a result, also highly capitalized. Numerous
cd and dvd sets were successfully marketed to parents. Mozart
probably hadn’t gotten that much attention since . . . well,
possibly never. Unfortunately, critics partially refuted the
results due to improper re-testing that was performed; however,
Mozart still has his believers and has been able to retain his
popularity in the midst of skepticism.

Many studies have been done on the effect that music has upon
not only our brains, but also our well-being in general. In
1968, a college student by the name of Dorothy Retallack
actually researched its effects on plants and found some
surprising results. After subjecting several houseplants to
specific genres of music, she documented her findings: jazz and
classical seemed were found to bring favorable benefits as
opposed to pop and country music. Most interesting of all,
though, is the fact that the plants that were forced to “listen”
to nothing but acid rock literally withered away and died! The
fact that music does indeed hold an influence over us is
undeniable.

Because research has indicated that it is the tempo of the
music, not the style, that actually aids in memory retention, a
learning “system” called the Baroque method has been given rise.
This is music that is heard at 60 BPM (beats per minute, or one
downbeat every second). It is the slow, complex rhythm that
stimulates and “warms up” the brain and in turn hugely increases
information retention by simultaneously activating the left and
right brain. Bulgarian psychologist George Lozanov was able to
prove that foreign languages could be learned at a fraction of
the normal time by using the Baroque method. Not only were his
students able to memorize vocublary at least twice as fast as
normal, but they also retained an amazing ninety-two percent.

We often overlook the brain in our quest for health and fitness,
but it should in fact be at the top of our lists. From the brain
stems everything that we are, and if we neglect to care for it
the “use it or lose it” phrase will become a reality. It needs
to be fed new activity on a daily basis, for the habits that we
form and act on consistenly offers it no food, in a sense.
Seeing new places, learning a new skill, and listening to
different kinds of music are all ways to strengthen and activate
your brain. And since music is the easiest one to change for
most of us, it’s a pretty good place to start–the key is to
listen to music that is complex and NOT repetitive because
musical repetition has actually been shown to stimulate an anger
response from the brain. While classical music is indeed a good
choice, anything that meets those criteria will have the same
effect; however, it is still a good idea to regularly introduce
new music because it is in the processing that your brain grows
and strengthens. So go ahead and pop in a Mozart cd. Seems like
the child prodigy knew more than we even know yet!

On the Internet programmers and designers rule, not the writer. Yet words drive targeted traffic to your site, carry content, make the sale, convey marketing messages, persuade people to buy and make the difference between your site’s success or failure.

Here are 10 tips for writing effective web copy:

1. Make sure content is easy to read

In the online world, less is nearly always more. Write your copy for the impatient, online reader. Here are some guidelines for the length of your content:

Headings: 8 words or less
Sentences: 15 - 20 words
Paragraphs: 40 - 70 words

Page word count: 250+ words

Eliminate pompous words and fancy phrases. Effective online writing is not about impressing the reader with your extensive vocabulary. It’s about communicating. Use short, simple words. Get to the point. And then stop.

2. Write from me to you

The most powerful word in the English language is “YOU”. Write for your reader, in a conversational tone, not for your ego.

Get to know your reader. Is there a common style or tone you need to use to reach her? Don’t forget, she’s come to your Web site to do somethingmake a purchase, obtain information, sign up for a subscription. Make sure every word you write moves her toward a solution.

3. Drive Actions With Content

Content is about getting the reader’s attention and keeping it. Content is about selling. Make sure your content is driving your customer’s actions. Then put that content on your home page.

4. Write for how people search

If you want your site to be found when people search the web, use words your target readers use. Before you begin to write, sit down and think carefully about the keywords you’re going to use. Then carefully weave those words and phrases into your copy. Here’s two Web sites that will help you find the right keywords and phrases for your site.

1. Overture

2. Wordtracker

5. Create Effective Headings

The heading is the most important piece of content you’ll write.

That’s because:

1. Internet users scan read and the first thing they read is your heading. If it doesn’t grab their attention, they’ll leave.
2. An effective heading can used in title tags (more about this later).
3. The heading can be placed on your home page as a link to content.

When writing headings:

Keep them to eight words or less
Include important keywords
Avoid the use of adjectives and prepositions (and, a, the, of).
Be clear and concise. Avoid wordy, wishy-washy phrases.

6. Write keyword-rich title tags

Title tags are a small piece of HTML code that appears in the top bar of your browser. “For example, “Acme Company Home Page.” Title tags, along with meta keywords and meta descriptions, are one of several important factors in achieving high search engine rankings.

Title tags appear in your site’s HTML code like this:

ACME COMPANY HOMEPAGE

You can view a site’s title tag by clicking VIEW then SOURCE on your browser’s tool bar.

Because search engines use title tags to gather information about your Web site you need to think carefully about what words you put in the tag. Don’t be tempted to put your company name in the tag (unless you’re a well-known brand like Nike or Microsoft).

Instead put specific keywords relating to your business. For example, if you’re a California real estate company, you would want your company to appear in search engine results for searches on keywords such as “California Real Estate” or “Realtors in California.” So, you would use the keywords “California Real Estate” or “California Realtors” in your title tags. If you wanted to be more specific, or you prefer seeking business in a specific geographic area you would use keywords such as “Silicon Valley Real Estate” or “Silicon Valley Realtors.”

7. Provide links and connections

The web is about linking information. Make sure your site links your reader to other information and other sites link to you. Never make your Web site a dead-end. Some search engines, including Google, are based, in part, on their ability to find you from links on other sites

8. Write effective summaries, sentences and paragraphs

An effective summary is who, what, when, where, how. It’s about getting the information across in 50 words or less. Keep your summaries short and factual. Make sure they encourage your reader keep reading.

Remember, keep sentences to between 15-20 words. Paragraphs between 40-70 words. Make your first sentence grab your reader’s attention or they’ll move on.

9. Sell Benefits not Features

If you want your Web site to sell your product or service you must write about benefits and not about features. A feature describes a product or service. A benefit is what the user gains from using that product or service. Don’t say, ” Our duvets are warm and comfortable,” say “You’ll be warm and comfortable in one of our duvets.” Tell your customers how your product or service will make them happier, sexier, healthier, wealthier. In other words focus on making sure every line of your copy is dedicated to what’s in it for them.

10. Edit. Edit. Edit. Then edit again

Mistakes in online copy are temporary and easily fixed, but by the time you’ve noticed your errors so have thousands of other people. Have two or three people proofread your text. Check it yourself for consistency in grammar, punctuation, capitalization, abbreviations etc. And finally, read it backwardsyou’ll be surprised how many errors you’ll spot.
