    Many in this religious world will accept as truth anything which appeals to their
 physical senses as long as their ministers are highly esteemed and well-accepted
 among their peers.  The problem with a "respecter of persons" theme is that
our Father God knows the hearts of all and those who try to justify themselves
 and are highly esteemed and well-accepted among men are clearly an abomination
before our Almighty God. (Luke 16:15)

    "The Secret of the Seven Thunders" is a book of divine revelation-- a vision of things
 that must shortly come to pass.  It is an unveiling of the most awesome prophecy ever
 given to man on the face of the whole earth-- the height, the width and the depth
of God’s love, forgiveness and everlasting, tender mercy.  This book proves beyond
 any scriptural doubt that all the spirits ever divinely placed into the human body
of the Lord's greatest creation, (man) are his very own, sometimes wise, oftentimes
 foolish, children of flesh.
 
    Even as he dealt with his old testament holy people, the nation of Israel in ancient
 times, regardless of man’s foolish and limited insights into theology, our heavenly
Father has always warned first, punished when his word has been rejected, and then,
 when man's knee has humbly bowed to his Father's will over their own errant
aspirations, God has always forgiven and restored his rebellious children to
his grace. (Matthew 18:22)

     Uncommon to popular, religious belief, this book documents by God’s own word,
 why our heavenly Father would never, ever, give up on or allow to be forever
destroyed by Satan's evil and destructive influence, the souls of his children,
the "apples of his eye."

                                       Reflections

    As the gentle, constant rain persisted in falling, splashing and cascading down
 the sides of the flower-laden coffin, the deep void  and sorrow I felt within gave
 way to the stark reality of hopelessness.  The damp, muffled sounds of the moment
 pierced the intensity of my emotions. Was this a nightmare? Oh Mom, we miss you
 already!   Through a gray swirling mist, the small and very wet crowd of family and
 friends had weathered a seasonal storm to pay final respects to this small, kindly
woman they had known during her brief, yet fruitful lifetime.  We’re all going to
 miss you, Mom!

    Hearing the memorized, yet encouraging, words of tribute from this young
 minister family acquaintance, gave me the thought, 'there stands one of life’s
many actors playing his well-rehearsed role at the funeral of a woman he hadn’t
 really gotten to know in life.  What’s life, but another day, another year and
today, sadly to say, another passing away of a loved one?  What a waste life can be."

     With dulled senses, I recall hearing words which echoed  of hope in a time of
 despair, yet, in my grief they meant nothing more than religious quackery.
 

 It was a balmy sixty degrees in Las Vegas under sunny skies as Jim maneuvered his
 ’78 Ford van into the shopping center on Craig Road and stopped in front of
"Darby’s Barber Shop."  Although his business at first appeared to be closed, a big red,
 white and blue rotating-sign near the entrance gave the silent welcome to patrons.
    “Good marn’n Darby me ole bucko, and how'se things with you this fine day?”
Jim said jokingly, in a poor rendition of an Irish-brogue as he removed a light windbreaker
 for his weekly trim.

    “Not so good Jim, not so good a’tol,” Darby replied with a shrug, as if the world sat
 upon his shoulders, “but it’s gonna get better - good Lord will’n!  It’s gonna git betta or
 I’ll be checking out real soon.”

    Jim had known Darby O’Connor for many years and his friend’s biggest draw was a
 cheerful and perky disposition.  Today his friend was a wee bit out of sorts.


    “Well friend, that’s not what the good book says.” Jim said, looking him straight in the
 eye. “The bible says that terrible times of great purging will precede the return of the
Lord Jesus and that it will occur near the end of mankind's earthly time of labour.

    “All the natural disasters we hear about in the world and read in the papers are
happening for a purpose.” Jim went on.  “It’s called bible prophecy, foreshadowings--
the warnings of things to come and, if you will, they are clear signs that the end of all
our labours on the earth are at hand.” (Luke 21:25)

     “Yeah, that may be so, Jim, and maybe not.  Ya know the bible was written by men
 and men make powerful mistakes,” quipped Darby, “we’re not sure and perfect, ya knoo.”
    “True, true!” Jim responded, “But foreknowing man’s errant ways, God inspired
 his written word and did not allow wis old testament prophets any error in what
they prophesied.' 

    "That means, Darby, God’s word is pure and righteous; it has no error whatsoever.
 (Proverbs 8:8-10, 2 Timothy 3:16,17)  Jesus told all his faithful believers to be perfect
 in spirit, "even as our heavenly Father is perfect.' (Matthew 5:48)

    “So yer perfect is it?” said Darby, slightly annoyed by Jim’s statement of reproof.
“I tho’t the Lord Jesus was the one and only perfect wun?”

    “Jesus is the only perfect human who ever lived,” Jim replied patiently, “but Jesus
 told us that his disciples can be perfect in spirit if we become born into God’s family,
 and choose to submit to his all-knowing and perfect ways.' (John 3:3-21)

        “To be saved from what’s soon to come upon this earth, we must bow our knee
 to Jesus,” he continued, “We must profess him alone as our Lord, God and Savior. 
However, there is an escape from the swiftly approaching wrath that is to be sent
upon Israel and all the unbelieving world.'  (Luke 21:36, Revelation 3:10)

    "If we will seek and ask him by faith to intercede in our lives, by our faith we can
 escape this wrath.” (Isaiah 57:1,2, Job 5:21)    "Through his apostle Peter, Jesus
expounded on that escape from the wrath to come.”  Jim said assuredly. “When divided
 according to bible context and harmony, exactly as God revealed...


    “In the Greek the word for 'deliver' is rhuomai and simply means 'to rescue.’ Jim continued,

  “The word 'temptations’ is "peirasmos" and means quite literally, 'a trial or proving time.’
    God is warning us that 'he will first rescue the godly from the wrath to come upon the
world, those who refuse to be justified in Christ’s Blood-sacrifice on Calvary!’ (1 Thessalonians 5:9,10)

     “Well, Jim, me lad, here’s one fella that definitely needs that escape yer talk’n bout,”
Darby said with a sigh, “Gayle, me one and only of fifteen years, has gone and left me.
That’s me sole problem. Ah, women, who kin figure? They ain’t what they used to be, I
kin tell ya thot for certain sure.”

    Knowing his friend’s deep family roots in catholicism and its church tradition-- that
 whatever a priest says is never for dispute, and in essence, considered equal to the
gospel, Jim chose his words carefully as he spoke.

    “I’m sorry to hear that, Darby.” Jim said, “As your friend and also a minister myself,
is there anything I can do?  Anything at all, you’ve just got to name it?”

    “Thanks Jim, but no, it’s all been said and done already,” Darby answered sadly, “she’s
left me, seez I’m too overbearing.  Guess the grass is greener elsewhere, in her eyes, or so
 it seems to her.  While her mother lived, rest her soul, Gayle was humble and we were
happy together.  Now, well, thot’s another story entirely.”


    “My friend, women who rebel against their godly husbands are rebelling against God
 himself.” Jim shared sympathetically. “God has ordained that the man is the ruler over
 the woman and their entire household.  If he will not rule, chaos will rule.

    Jesus forewarned, "A house divided against itself shall fall." (Mark 3:24 Luke 11:17 and
Matthew 12:25)  It's not wise to go against the scriptures anytime and especially not today.'

    “Any man that won’t obey God and rule lovingly over his house, his wife and children,
 is himself in rebellion against his heavenly Father.  To submit to the male is part of the
woman’s earthly labours for mother Eve's original sins against God and that ordinance
remains in effect today.” (Genesis 3:16 and Ephesians 5:24)   “Is it a chauvinist, ya are,
matey? Where’d ya hear that malarkey?” Darby scorned loudly, “Ya wouldn’t get that
blarney past the door with me Gayle.  Ever since she’s been reading her new age bibles,
she’s been rebellious and hard to handle!  She’s no longer submissive and giving--
wants ta run the house herself.'

    “Darby, we’re all in rebellion against our Father’s perfect will,” Jim said, checking Darby’s
 haircutting skills in the mirror, “And that’s the root’n cause of all this planet’s strife.  We
 war daily against the flesh and personally, with our ego.” 

    “Our battles here on earth are not caused by man or even anything physical at all,
 as we see them.” Jim went on. “Since man’s fall to sin in the "Garden of Eden," when
 our actual labours began because of sin, mankind has been under a severe, spiritual-
attack by the darkness of spiritual forces in high places.  The demons of Hell battle God
 daily for our souls.'

    You see, Darby my friend, there are holy and unholy people today, too.” Jim went on,
  “We all must purpose to be either "Cris-tians’ or Christ'ians.  The Christ-chun has God’s
anointing in their lives,” Jim reiterated, “and such a person’s life is centered on God’s will
 over their own.

    The Cris'chun makes up most of the professing church and, although they are very
 religious, they are worshipping in vain and with absolutely no anointing.” (Matthew 15:9)
 
    “Darby, my friend, all too many today are as the majority of Israel were yesterday--
religious people without being holy unto God.  There is a majority who call themselves,
 cris-chun, yet choose to fight their spiritual battles by physical means-- without God’s
help we will lose that frustrating battle every time we go it alone.  If our eyes are on the
 physical, shouldn't that reveal where our heart's desires are to God?' (Colossians 3:2)

    “Without God’s spiritual armor and protection in our daily lives, Darby, man runs an
 impossible race.” Jim cautioned. “For if we fail to acknowledge his will or fail to bow our
 knee in submission to his only begotten Son, Jesus, we have no hope and no forgiveness
 in this world or in the world to come.” (John 3:16-20)

    “Tell me, Jim, me fine fellow, how can all that help me with the problem I’ve got with
 Gayle?” Darby asked, as he lathered Jim’s neck, “she’s gone and left me entirely, saying
 she’ll never come bock to the likes of me a’gin.”

    “You won’t like what I’m going to say, Darby, but I’ll say it just the same since we're
close.” Jim said boldly, “You, my friend, are in open rebellion against your heavenly
Father!  That’s why your house has been divided and broken up.'

    “What you have sown in unbelief to God’s will is now what you are reaping for
unfaithfulness!” Jim continued, “When we choose to be carnal with the Lord, he
punishes our unfaithfulness and gives us the desires of our hearts.” (Job 4:8 and
Proverbs 22:8)  In Galatians, 6, verse 7, Paul warns, "be not deceived; God is not
mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.’

    “Darby, God has given his priorities to man from the very beginning,” Jim went on,
 "but because you have refused to give God his rightful rule over you and your house,
 that he might receive his glory in you, your heavenly Father has rejected you and
whatever authority you could have had.

    “For your rebellion,” Jim explained, “God is now rewarding you according to the
 lust of your own heart.  He is replacing your rightful authority over Gayle and
allowing her to rebel and usurp the rule over you.” (Isaiah 3:12, 1 Timothy 2:12)

    “Darby,” Jim added, “the male will... 


    “That’s not God’s will for you or for Gayle,” Jim added wisely, “nor is it ever the
desire of any godly woman to rule over her husband against her Lord’s perfect will.
(Ephesians 5:20-33)
    “Yet, when we are unfaithful to give our him his rightful place over our spiritual
lives,” Jim continued, “we’re telling him, 'we don’t want your intervention in our lives.'
    God then sees us as declaring our liberty from his will and that we are choosing to go
 it alone-- to live by the "law of retribution," which is an eye for an eye in lieu of the grace
 our Lord desires for us and makes available to all of His children.”

    “When we fail to let God rule our spiritual lives," Jim went on, “neither will he give
us any real authority to rule over our own physical lives.  Even though God will back off
 and 'let us run our own lives,’ so to speak, he never gives up on us.  God will never stop
 waiting and watching for our humble, repentant return to his house of righteousness.” (Luke 15:24)


    “You see friend,” Jim added wisely, “Israel, God’s old testament holy people under
 the law, are a biblical type of his new testament church-- God’s holy people under grace.
  We are not called Jews today but by another name (Isaiah 65:15), the name of Christ.
That’s why we are called Christ-chuns.  We are called by God to love our fellow man and
 to serve him by serving them in these trials of life." (John 13:34,35)

    “A servant that won't serve,” Jim added astutely, “is in the same spiritual condition
 as ministers who won’t minister, house-painters who won’t paint or brick-masons that
 won’t lay brick-- they’re all rebellious hypocrites, and liars.

    “This world’s in open rebellion against God.” Jim  persisted. “In reward for man’s failure
 to rule his own house, his nation and his world as the Lord ordains men to do, he has taken
 away man’s rightful authority and has given it over to the female, that she would strive
against the male. Both the man and the woman are in rebellion against his perfect will.

Now it's... 


    “What I'm going to say next will not make the feminists too happy," Jim said,
"it used to be said 'a man’s house is his castle’ but because man has been rebellious,
 so are his wife and children in confusion.  What we have now in the world is a majority
 of weak men and powerful women figures.'

    Jim added sadly, “In the last few years there have been more women ascending the
corporate ladder to positions of power and greater authority over men in local, state,
national and world rule, than ever before since there was a nation upon the earth.  This,
too, is a great sign that the end of labour and destruction is very near.  The bible says in
 Isaiah 3, verses 11 and 12...
           

    "God’s will, Darby, is that men be men-- that they should take authority over their women
with love and according to God’s perfect will for domestic order.  That is not a request but one
of God's ordinances for all men to follow if they desire the Lord's blessings in their lives and
on their families.' (Genesis 3:16)

    "Because many of this nation’s men have become rebellious, self-serving and arrogant wimps,
their women and children have likewise become models of that same rebellious behavior.  Isaiah prophesied that when the female takes charge and begins to lead (rules) the male-- they cause
thee to err.’

    “Look what we have here in Nevada, not to mention the power positions of the United States government.” Jim shared, with progressive concern. “We have a scripturally-rebellious first lady,
Hillary Rodham Clinton ruling over this nation from the White House, controlling a weak-kneed president.' 

    "We also have a female attorney general (Janet Reno) and a female chief justice on the Supreme
Court.  Throughout the Clinton administration, there are more rebellious lesbians, feminists, homosexual-sympathizers, abortion advocates and a scattering of other perverts in high positions
of authority than ever before in the history of the United States.
 
    But I caution the male gender...


    “It’s not the fault of the woman,” Jim said repentantly. “We should not blame her entirely. 
The buck should begin, and stop, with the male.  God has ordained that women are in rule in these last-days because of man's rebellion, and the end is near!"

    "The average male in the United States, in particular, and in the world, in general, have
forgotten their God and his knowledge, therefore, the majority of this world’s men are being
forsaken.” (Hosea 4:16)

    “For that cause alone, Darby,” Jim reminded his friend, “God has rejected the counsel of man.
  Women ruling over men in such unparalleled proportion is a very clear sign that mankind is
about to greatly err in the time that remains.  Disobedient mankind is about to be severely
punished with the destruction of everything they once held dear, and if this nation continues
to reject God, the severity shall continue to increase dramatically.

    “Locally speaking,” Jim continued, “In the past few years Las Vegas has given over to the
 'weaker sex’ a position that had always been in male rule-- the office of the Mayor.  Recently
 Las Vegans elected their first female Mayor, Jan Jones, a sympathizer with sexual-perverts.  
She recently opposed an agenda that would  have refused the homosexuals open game on our
 children, siding with perverts.  Yes, indeed, chaos is about to be the end product of our great
 rebellion against God.  (Psalm 9:17)

    The results can only be reprehensible.  We already have a woman as our state’s attorney
general and another as Lt. Governor.  If the Lord tarries past the year 1994, it requires very
little insight to see that many Nevadans may vote for, and elect, their first female governor.
Many other states have already done that.”

    "We are reminded Jesus that the end of all things will be 'like the days of Noah and Lot.'
 (Luke 17:26-32)  The world of Lot’s day was filled with the perverted.  The ungodly governed
 the city of 'Sodom and Gomorrah,’ while homosexuals, lesbians and other perverts paraded
 their 'alternate lifestyles’ before the righteous God of heaven.  We are cautioned to...


    “Very soon we might see Nevada’s first female governor,” Jim said with a sigh. “This
 modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah is soon to be as it once was-- dust to dust and back to
 a purged desert decor.  Yes, even as this ungodly, Christ-rejecting nation of ours. “Everyone
 who chooses to be a part of this evil, local, state, national and world system,” Jim predicted,
 speaking of those hell-bent on a global economy, “to look back at their sinister and perishing
 heritage on this earth, the same are forewarned to remember the eternal monument that was
 once Lot’s worldly and rebellious wife.  Looking back at the world of her day, Lot’s wife was
 transformed into 'a pillar of salt.'  (Genesis 19:26 and Luke 17:32)

    “Do ya say so?” Darby asked Jim, wiping beads of sweat from his forehead, “I guess we’ve
 lost it entirely, Jim.  By complacency, we’ve allowed our world to slip away almost without
contesting her. I guess there's no use anymore.”

    “Yes, my friend,” Jim said, confirming Darby’s thoughts, “but you'll be happy to know
that God is ruling-- Jesus is still on his throne of righteousness.  Our Lord is our blessed hope
 of the ages and Jesus is coming very soon. (Titus 2:13)

    “Throughout the United States,” Jim went on, “the annual rise in female dominance increases dramatically and is now irreversible!   After all, if man will not lead then he will be lead.  But
 let's not forget that God is in control of all things, Darby, everything, but he allows evil to bring
 us to our senses when man fails to obey and walk with him uprightly.

    “Darby, my good friend,” Jim continued, “God is rightfully warning his people in Isaiah’s
 prophecy, 'O my people, they [the women] which lead thee cause thee to err.’ The rebellious
 are about to believe 'a great lie' and fall into a snare to be judged, sentenced and destroyed
for systematically forgetting their heavenly Father God.” (Luke 21:35 Psalm 91:3 and
2 Thessalonians 2:11,12)

    “Every one is called to be holy before God,” Jim said boldly. “Jeremiah prophesied that
 our heavenly Father knew us before the womb and sanctified us for a purpose. (Jeremiah 1:5)
  Yet today the ungodly are trying to usurp our Father’s rightful authority by saying they
have total rights over their own body to control whether they can, or cannot, terminate the
 life of one of God’s precious and unborn children.”

    “Abortionists,” Jim said, his voice rising, “are by any other name, 'murderers,' and they
are interfering with God’s perfect will when they kill his (not their) unborn babies.

    “Yet, contrary to religious fervor,” Jim shared defiantly, "God is pro-choice, but not the
 way the world thinks!  God gives us all the liberty of making our own free-will choices,
but with our decisions comes tremendous responsibility to our Lord.  We will all be called
 before him for these choices, right or wrong, and many will soon lose much.  We will all
be held responsible for our own actions-- either under the Mosiac law, where there is no
mercy, or, under the perfect grace of God that is the sinless, shed-blood of Jesus--
grace by faith." (John 1:17)


    “Satan the destroyer, man’s chief adversary, desires to completely ruin the family
unit by dividing and conquering.  If he is successful in removing the man, God’s
physical image on earth, the male role model," Jim went on, as Darby began closing
 his shop, “then he can divide the family and temporarily win his cause by default
in many cases.”

    “Granted,” Jim continued, “most male role models in the home today are certainly
 not close to being faithful or loving, but they are still called to be godly influences
and the rulers of their own house.  The woman is not called to rule; she’s called to be
 man’s help-meet in this life. (Genesis 2:18,20)

    “When the male is forced out of the home and a rebellious female assumes rule of
 the house, the ch It was a balmy sixty degrees in Las Vegas under sunny skies as Jim
maneuvered his ’78 Ford van into the shopping center on Craig Road and stopped in
front of "Darby’s Barber Shop."  Although his business at first appeared to be closed,
a big red, white and blue rotating-sign near the entrance gave the silent welcome to patrons.

    “Good marn’n Darby me ole bucko, and how'se things with you this fine day?” Jim
said jokingly, in a poor rendition of an Irish-brogue as he removed a light windbreaker
 for his weekly trim.

    “Not so good Jim, not so good a’tol,” Darby replied with a shrug, as if the world sat
 upon his shoulders, “but it’s gonna get better - good Lord will’n!  It’s gonna git betta
or I’ll be checking out real soon.”

    Jim had known Darby O’Connor for many years and his friend’s biggest draw was a
 cheerful and perky disposition.  Today his friend was a wee bit out of sorts.


    “In this evil world where priority runs amuck,” Jim continued, “basically speaking,
men don’t love their wives because all-too-many don’t know their heavenly Father in a
solid relationship.  As a result, they are not respected or honored as the head of the
woman.  There is nothing so wonderful as to see a truly, submissive woman that is
ubject to her husband’s godly rule.  Such holiness in the female is worth her weight in
 gold.”  God will always give the seeking spirit a...


    “That makes a lot of sense to me.” Darby said reluctantly. “Oh, how wrong I’ve been.
 I’ve failed entirely, Jim.  I’ve dropped the ball completely in me house and I deserve
whot’s happening. Without taking authority, as God commands, I’m reaping the fruit
of me wrongful labours.  My family’s destroyed entirely and I don't know whot I can
do abut' it?”

    “Well, my friend, that’s the first step,” Jim said assuredly, “we must humble ourselves
 before God, to pray and to seek his truths. We must tell God we're sorry by admitting
we've sinned against him and that we've all fallen short of his all-knowing and perfect
ways.” (2 Chronicles 7:14  Jeremiah 5:25 and also James 4:10)


    “Our heavenly Father’s perfect will,” Jim continued, “has always been to first warn then
 correct the error of our ways with chastisement if necessary.  Then, when he sees a humble
 and repentant heart, he forgives and, if it’s still physically possible to reach the man’s wife
 spiritually, he will restore the humble man to his rightful position of godly rule over his
wife and over his entire family.  Without Jesus there is no hope for restoration.

    “Isn’t that the will of any godly father?” Jim said, challenging Darby for a response,
“If we truly love God and our families, won’t we correct them with love when they disobey
 our will and promptly restore them when they are humble and repentant?

    “Many families today have grave misconceptions of the role God ordains of the father
 and the mother,” Jim continued, getting to his feet, “The man of the house is supposed to
 rule over his house with godly wisdom, loving his bride as Christ loves the church.
(Ephesians 5:25 and Colossians 3:18-20)  We should be setting examples before God, our
 wives and our children, that they, too, are examples in the sight of their peers.”


    “The marriage vows a woman used to promise read, 'Do you promise to love, honor
and obey your husband?’ Jim said with great concern, “but with today’s new age thinkers,
the average male and female have become anything but obedient to God or their spouses.
  The typical spouse today is usually self-serving, arrogant, boastful and proud; they reject
 God’s will and have usurped his supreme authority in their homes.  Chaos always follows
 disobedience and that is biblical.'

    “You see, friend,” Jim added, “when a father shirks his godly responsibilities and spurns
 his rule over his wife and his children, God removes him as the power and authority figure
 and sometimes, as his own children’s role model.”

    “Most of the time,” Jim ventured on, “the man’s young, rebellious wife seeks out a
replacement for her castaway husband and, being out of fellowship with her God, she’ll
 bring in a man after her own, evil-thinking heart-- usually another unbeliever.

    “What she sowed in rebellion,” Jim said, walking towards the door, “will soon return to
 her in double-trouble.  Her problems will always increase as they are multiplied now by
two self-serving people in the house.  And unless the children’s newest male image has
accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord, he has no capability at all of ever loving the woman or her
 unruly children-- without Jesus, ultimate rebellion will be her strange bedfellow. (John 15:5)

    “The ungodly woman is not the only one who disobeys,” Jim explained. “The average
male is just as rebellious and disobedient as his female counterpart.  It always takes two
for any discord and the haughty ego breeds selfish rebellion.  There are no perfect parents;
neither are children without error.

    “These unfortunate facts of the family directly affect all future generations and, as the
 family unit continues to deteriorate, entire nations are destroyed from within.' 

    "Every family and every nation that forgets God will be warned first, chastened second,
 then, at last resort, cast into Hell for the destruction of the carnal minded."  (Psalm 9:17)


     “Because of unrepentant hearts, God removes that family’s, or that nation’s, wise men
 and replaces them with spineless wimps, Christ-rejecting adulterers and weak leaders
without morals.  The end of a civilization begins when man rejects God's wisdom.
