Rather I have learned that miracles are the fulfillment of the exercise of faith. My experiences in this life are a witness to this fact. This work is from my journals upon my miraculous freedom from incarceration from the Utah State Hospital. The powers that be tried to keep me there for the rest of my life, despite the laws of the land to the contrary. I was there for 6 years. And for what you might ask? I wanted my kidnapped children back. The other volumes I will publish will go into more detail of each stage of my life. This goes from my freedom to my publication of my first book, An Introduction to Paleo-Hebrew Alphabet and Grammar A New Theory. I am a visionary man. I have inspirations and dreams - prophesy dreams - that have served as a guide to my life and is the source of my faith that produced my many miracles. It is my hope that others can take my story and obtain a hope in their life. It is President Spencer W. Kimball's book, "Faith Precedes the Miracle" of which I testify of its truthfulness with this book. On April 16th, 1997 my world fell apart. My wife of 5 years and 2 1/2 children left me and took everything and everyone with her. The LDS Church, Utah Government, and my family all turned against me. Just months earlier in February 1997 I made my first discovery of many with regards to the Paleo-Hebrew Alphabet, Vocabulary, and Translation of the Biblical Hebrew text. My ex-wife said, "I don't want MY kids learning Hebrew!" Nobody seemed to care that I confirmed Joseph Smith's translation of the first three words of Genesis 1:1 of the Biblical Hebrew text. About 153 years had passed since he gave his Conference talk and yet no one in The LDS Church could figure out how the translation worked; even John Taylor who studied Hebrew, could only declare in his book, Gospel Kingdom, that Elohim (translated as 'God' in the masculine singular) is "intelligences" as found in the Book of Abraham. Lucifer seemed to have inspired everyone involved in my life, who would listen to his spirit, to tear me down and stop the work. And eventually I lost everything as I was sent to the Utah County Jail and from there to the Utah State Hospital. But it was in this darkness caused by the actions of others, that the Lord prepared a way to accomplish His will to make public how Joseph Smith made his translation. It took years to turn around the effects of the evil design, but through a miraculous hand, it did turn around to improve my life and enable me to publish the work. The following are excerpts from my extensive journals to show how the Lord did his marvelous work and wonder in my life.
