I was just browsing the Journal’s website when I saw the heading ‘Local author says God is female’. Usually I couldn’t care less about religious topics, but somehow this one peaked my interest. There are quite a lot of books published by local authors, many of them good and interesting. Why on earth this one was even getting any space in the Journal is beyond me. Check out the article for yourself.
The book’s author is John O’Connell. The good folks from the Journal were kind enough to include a link to his website. There are quite a few religious nuts in Derry, you often come across their letters in the local papers. But I think this one is ’special’, have a look at his About Me page:
I am the returned Christ, who has come in glory to judge the living and the dead, and whose kingdom has no end. My work as the Christ is recorded in my work as an author of ten books, countless letters and articles. Read “Revelation” for the conceptual framework of my coming straight from the Book of Revelation.
God has nurtured me all my life. In 1986 He let me into a secret – Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams and DUP leader Ian Paisley, whose names come out at 666 on a numeric alphabet, are the two beasts of the Book of Revelation.
Driven by a mysterious illness which began in 1990 when God began to speak to me in coincidences, one of which was the death of Cardinal Tomas O’Fiaich, aged 66 and 6 months, I have gone on to write and record my judgement and to war with the enemies of God who have been forced to end their wars so that their departure from the political scene is the only act that remains outstanding.
Oh yeah. We have our very own Christ incarnate. And it gets better – Derry is the new Jerusalem!
Derry was important to me. It was the New Jerusalem so far as I was concerned. It had the walled inner city, the most complete set of walls in Europe, and these walls were symbolic of the New Jerusalem’s walls in the Book of Revelation. Indeed the old Jerusalem had its walls, which the Romans had destroyed only to find that a new empire, based in a different part of the world, and in a different era, had built another beautiful fortress where the Lamb was to reside.Derry, the place of so much oppression over the last several hundred years, was the place where the 144,000 citizens, who had the name of the Lamb and his father written on their foreheads, were to reside.
Then I looked and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his father’s name written on their foreheads. (Rev 14:1)
Thus the Lamb was to have a name, and his father was to have a name, and in human terms this name would be significant for the 144,000 who lived in the New Jerusalem.
Keep on reading, it’s pretty wild.
Remember that 666 BS he mentioned above. Well, there’s a bit more on that in his Gerry Adams’ secret fear article:
It was like lightning struck me. It was to do with the other part of a calculation a friend had shown me in my days at St Columb’s College as a fifteen year old. That calculation worked out the name of Ian Paisley at 666. I had checked the references in the Book of Revelation at that time and I knew that there were to be two beasts.
“Gerry Adams! It has to be!” I roared to myself in the kitchen of the small flat where I had my experience of great love and peace.
I set down the same numeric alphabet, and calculated Gerry Adams’ name at 666. It was the icing on the cake.[...]
Well, Gerry apparently didn’t like that one too much:
It wasn’t long before I heard from Sinn Fein. Others may make up excuses but I know that the attack on our home, smashing several windows, in August 1986 was a warning from Sinn Fein. But it was too late. Their war was over. I had taken out their king and all good chess players will know that that is the game over.
But never mind, it changed Gerry and turned him from violence to peace:
Within months of that time, Gerry Adams was sending signals through Fr Alec Reid that he was prepared to end the IRA campaign. My experience had sown the seeds of doubt in Adams’ mind and unnerved him completely. He didn’t want to the Antichrist. More accurately, he didn’t want to go down in history as the man who was regarded as the Antichrist.
In Spring 1987, a year after my experience, the peace process began in earnest with talks between John Hume and Gerry Adams arranged through Fr Alec Reid, and so the history books record a rational explanation of the ending of the IRA campaign.
It unnerved him? He must have been quaking in his boots!
Maybe John should get some help.
