EXCERPT FROM THE PAGES OF:

                   “THE VISION IS HERE”

                               By Jerry McSwain

 

Major interests of today are often much simpler for one to express in words than for anyone to fully define with mere words alone! 

But, according to our human character patterns, it’s become quite apparent the human race is desperately searching for the great cradle of human life, sometimes called, the starting point or the beginning.  It’s more commonly understood today (by millions) as the origin of mankind!

We can easily see these undeniable shifting pattern-traits in full operation, through mankind’s constant efforts to discover the illusive cradle of life, through the precepts and concepts of The Theory of Human Evolution, The Big Bang Theory, The Theory of Ufology.

Last, but certainly not the least…we can clearly see mankind’s eager needs-to-know more (about ourselves and God) woven into the many diverse ideas, theories, and concepts of Divine Creationism. 

These irrefutable character patterns (human traits), along also with mankind’s ever-growing endeavors to find something better than what we've already had, is actually a clear sign and a clear significant indicator, saying to our deep eagerness, we truly need to know more about God...!

These human activity patterns undeniably indicate, to us, there's yet a great spiritual and emotional need brewing deep down inside of our home world…and, we all need to know exactly where we mortals actually came from, and exactly why we are here, and exaactly what we are here for...!

Frankly speaking, to date, The Theory of Human Evolution has turned up absolutely nothing provable, concrete, and/or indesputably confirmable.  The idea that mankind evolved from "anthropoid apes" is still very much in the assumptive stages, of nmankind's growing eagerness just to know. 

Actually, the idea itself hasn’t really been able to even qualify itself as a vast worldwide fact; it cannot seem to evolve itself much beyond anything more than merely a scientific theory at this time, even at its best...! 

Besides, Human Evolution doesn’t really offer mankind a close and/or personal heartfelf benefit, neither a emotional value based upon truth. 

And, even if the Theory did somehow happen to discover some small evidence of factual support, the truth is, the theory itself could only offer mankind the idea that we all came from the animal kingdom.  What benifit would that offer those in search of the mystery of life on planet earth...?

Then there is The Big Bang Theory, and it has actually produced some very good and logical sounding ideas (indeed), or ideas concerning the first very few moments of the beginning of physical creation itself. 

But as much as I've recently come to discover, and know--and, also discover from the visionary accountings of November 1997 (during the viewing of the early images of my Godly inspired Vision); and, in further researching into the theory itself, I've come to believe (personally that is), the actual beginning of physical creation did occur in very much the same manner and in the same way as scientific researchers are claiming, according to many of the dynamic aspects of The Big Bang Theory. 

But, after following more closely into the mainstream concept of the theory, I found, scientific researchers can not possibly explore the idea (at all...!) beyond the far side of The Big Bang explosion itself.  My results were quite clear to me then, the fact is, scientific researcher's can't fully explein WHY "The Big Bang" went B-A-N-G...!

This scientific theory is actually a dead end road, stopping at its very beginning; the actual search stops at the very start of the Big Bang explosion itself. 

Further still, this dead-end theory offers absolutely nothing at all beneficial to any of us, personally…at least nothing of any close and/or of any personal value to mankind's eagerness to know; the theory mostly benefits the fields of science, and scientific ego, more personally; actually, the field of scientific research is mostly favored and benefited by the theory it creates for itself. 

It actually leaves us, the searching party or public, or the average non-critical thinker yet searching, and also seeking for some better answers for our mysterious illusive human origin…frankly, today, we are really without any personal advantages, for explaining our mortal mystery.

The theory that we humans are offspring children of space aliens is quite a striking idea, indeed; but there is absolutely no recorded credible evidence today that people from somewhere “out there” actually sired the entire human race.  I am not altogether resolved in my own mind here, concerning the many sightings of UFO’s in years past, people have seen something, but what have they seen that could tell us the absolute truth of our being...? 

I simply don’t know (as of yet) whether (or not) such things did or did not occur.  I also don’t completely dismiss the idea as mere fantasy, either. 

It may be that there is life somewhere “out there; but, one thing I do know, there’s really no human life beyond our own home world, here on planet Earth...!

I can truthfully say, however, according to the abundance of or lack of good solid evidence, and according to the absence of clear credible records, there has not been even one space alien (not as of yet) to come forward and boldly proclaim to the entire world absolute parenthood, to the entire human race. 

It looks as though we’re now left with the concept (or to some folks, the theory) of Divine Creationism, which is quite a complex field of interest, and very much the same as The Theory of Human Evolution in many respects.  In fact, both major fields of interest are considered as the two top leading fields of interest in our world of today.

The Divine Creation Theory is not too much different than all of the other leading fields of interest today.  But it differs to some degree…in that.

Out of all of the leading theories today, it’s the one and only field of interest that offers mankind a very close and personal benefit, and also a personal value.  It really doesn't dehumanize any of the follower's of its Godly intentions...! 

Frankly, I personally believe the human race is the wonderful end-results and the actual handiwork of The Most High God!  And by the end of this book, I hope to show indisputable evidence to support my findings, my beliefs, and my personal convictions.

Although I believe in the existence of The Most High God, I do remember a time when I could not honestly proclaim the Holy Bible as being the absolute authenticated, indisputable, inspired word of God! 

The true fact are clear, neither can anyone else of today produce any form of real solid (tangible) evidence for which to back up and fully support the idea that the Holy Bible is truly the inspired (written) word of a Most High God...! 

The Theory of Divine Creationism is a very good idea, but in days gone by there's simply been very little to absolutely no solid existing (visible) signs, nor any form of indisputable evidence for fully supporting the widely spread claims of a living God, neither that God is the one life-source responsable for the entire human experience, neither of a God who is the actual Creator of the long missing "Cradle of Human life."

However and although mostly overlooked by the major portion of the Christian world of today, and also accounting for all of the ideas and the many theories out there on the need-to-know-markets of today, concerning the cradle of human life, the idea of Divine Creationism is perhaps the one and only field of interest available to us today, which can offer all who follow its message a more personal benefit, for their acknowledgments and favors, as well as for their loyal endeavorings to reveal the truth about its Biblical message to mankind---as we will also come to see within the coming chapters of The Vision Is Here.

The mystery of mankind has always been a personally challanging mystery to many millions of people, and for many thousands of years within our human history.  The Vision Is Here offers indisputable evidences our home world has really longed for, and also has needed, for far too long now. 

The vast Christian community has always needed sound, supportive evidence in order to aid our Christian efforts in dispelling constantly growing doubts and concerns, and the many ever-growing controversies arising over mankind’s true human origin. 

The Divine Creationism Theory has not exactly been all that successful in years past, not in producing any solid form of verified (credible, and/or indisputable) proofs; this would be proof suitable enough for supporting and/or backing up the many weak and bandy (un-supported) claims made, mostly "in the eyes of the entire world we live in today." 

In years past, the spiritual effectiveness of God’s true existence has been directly attacked; God effectiveness has also suffered significantly, at the hands of many doubters, countless skeptics, and many confirmed modern-day atheist. 

Millions of people (of today) find it very difficult to merely believe through mere blind faith.  This is not to mention the constant ever-growing debates, and very heated issues, and the Biblical discussions, with very harsh controversies looming all about, hanging directly over the search efforts of our own human origin. 

The facts are quite clear; at least at the present, the moral and spiritual integrity of the entire human race is currently at great stake, today; and, please try to remember, our young people are presently teetering upon the very brink of total moral collapse. 

Likewise, God’s true existence clearly hangs quite loosely in a very fragile believability balance, between mythology and our ever-growing need for a more simplified and a more faith-based answer, as we seek for God’s true existence. 

We have an entire world (today) full of non-believers; most of these people can’t exactly acquaint themselves with the true existence of The Most High God, not through mere Christian-based, modern-day faith.

The actual fact here is this: sinner's will hardly ever freely choose mere faith over the consumming sinful nature now existing deep within their daily live's; at least, not until they can see (proof) that faith can offer them something of much more valuable (personally), or more than what they currently already have today, within their own confused secular lifestyle's. 

It's really quite self-evident, here; our home world today truly needs something just a bit better and tangible than we have in many years past...!  Perhaps what the world needs is something more hands on, or perhaps an inspired Godly VISION to work with...?

I do feel that Christian good works can indeed help in cutting away a more effective and more believable path, concerning God; and, I also feel Christian efforts can work to help people obtain the badly needed faith many need, which is also badly needed in our world today. 

Unfortunately, at this very present, most of our good Christian works and our group efforts for dispelling doubts and disbelief, in God’s existence, really does need some emotional fine-tuning, and also some intense spiritual reconstructing.

To date, there’s simply no good evidence (suitable enough) or any good available proofs on hand for convincing our world God truly exist.  This is not saying there is no answer, or that God doesn’t exist.  It is saying, however, we have plenty of physical evidence showing us people in far ancient Biblical days did actually exist. 

There was a man named Simon Peter, and the Holy City of Jerusalem is some 10 to 12 miles north of Bethlehem, as the Holy Bible records. 

Researchers in the vast field of ancient cultures and past civilizations (relative to Biblical history) have discovered many ancient religious relics and artifacts; these items have clearly shown that people recorded in biblical text did exist in those days of old. 

Excavators have unearthed many ancient cities and ruins showing Biblically recorded accounts of towns and cities, all of which are correctly located according to ancient Biblically recorded text.  However, and this is to my deepest of regrets, but I must say it anyway.

There is none (not even one) of many recorded discoveries in our world to date who has actually unearthed, discovered, or offered even one small shred of positive, indisputable, solid evidence showing that God (the same God who guided the children of Israel out of the land of bondage from Egypt) is absolutely a proven, authenticated FACT...! 

I do have to ask a question, here: Exactly where are the actual facts, concerning the true Spiritual existence of The Most High God...?  Are they anywhere beyond ancient Biblical history, alone...?  There now, I said it...! 

We simply have had no (clear and indisputable) facts to present to an already severely skeptical and doubting world...! 

That’s very unfortunate, at least for God, and also for those of us who do believe in the existence of God. 

From the world’s viewpoint, or from our mortal perspectives…there really is no available evidence today or any solid proof today that our God actually exist or even existed...!  However, that’s not a set standard...!

--------------------------------------------------------

It’s not the final word on the subject!  Which is saying…according to The Vision Is Here there is now newfound evidence proving The Most High God is very real; there is an answer for us today, there is an answer for a doubting and skeptical world today...!

The Vision Is Here will actually endeavor to show some newly discovered indisputable findings and clear evidence needed to show our home world that God is real!  This new discovery will reveal new evidence proving that mankind is the true handiwork of a real Godhead Being through human character traits and some newly discovered and very long overlooked scriptural evidences. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

All findings here will be firmly supported and will produce the one and only Divine Ulterior Motive behind our human existence. 

This is a newly inspired insight, which has very recently been made available to all of mankind today, through a unique Godly inspired vision. 

These new findings are quite absolutely indisputable...!  This unique visionary message could literally evolve to spiritually impact our entire Christian world of today, by reshaping many modern-day (Christian) ideas, opinions, and pulpit claims. 

This new finding will clearly offer our home world (mankind) a much more solid explanation, as to exactly why the human race is yet alive and well on planet Earth today. 

Consequently, revealing this unique Godly Ulterior Motive will actually work to reshap Christian thinking, it will also clearly produce that very long sought after “Missing Link,” by producing (to the literary world) the one and only true "Cradle of Human Life...!" 

                           

                                  God Bless...!  

REVIEWS

THE VISION IS HERE

Reviewed by Joyce Ann Edmondson................

In 'The Vision is Here,' Jerry McSwain deliberates, as step by step he puts into words the memories, thoughts and feelings about his long term struggle to escape from the prison of drug addiction. In his journals McSwain poignantly, and sometimes with satiric humor, relates his life journey as one of a deep mental awakening from drug addiction in a rehab center, believing those about him can "read his mind." He describes how in his hazy thoughts, he believes the "compassion" of the nurses and aides come from powerful (angelic) forces at work such as he has never known in his life, preventing him from using the substances he had always thought of as absolutely essential to his survival.

As he tries to isolate himself, thoughts of suicide and escape come to his mind, but in a powerfully beheld vision in which he returns to a scene in his life as an eight year old boy, McSwain finds he is drawn to forces he cannot flee, forces which seem to come from a powerful place beyond creation.

As the visions persist, Jerry McSwain comes to terms with his addiction and finds a new purpose in existence, often questioning with a scientific and inquiring mind, some of the beliefs currently held by world churches and modern-day scientists. He then leads us on a fascinating journey to the Source of all existence, who seems to him in this day and age to be reaching out in various ways to many "lost souls," one of whom was himself.

I would call McSwain a theologian who uses scientific methods of research into the Bible to answer the age long questions of mankind: Who am I? What is my purpose in being here? Who is God? Why did God make me? In "The Vision is Here" he seeks through Biblical analysis and logical reasoning to answer these questions. He challenges the Evolutionists, as well as the Creationists, and gives reasons for each conclusion. Fortunately for the reader, McSwain's research is solid and answers come as the result of months and years of searching and documenting spiritual, written evidence from the Bible, not simply answering questions as in a catechism. I was deeply impressed by his methods, such as making a chart outlining the characteristics of a human being, against the characteristics of God as found in the Scriptures. His conclusions regarding divine and human life are dynamic and will remain in the reader's mind long after he has turned the last page of "The Vision is Here."

 

An Amazing Discovery of Divine Understanding!, September 30, 2004
Reviewer: Taineish (NC)
I have read "The Vision Is Here" and it is as though it's coming alive within my daily walk with God. As I read through the book it's as though, I am experiencing very vivid feelings perhaps as the writer felt during the vision and his research of the vision. It felt (to me) that Mr. McSwain was taking me on a far distant journey (as I read) into a place that only the heart and soul can travel. I have sought a closer walk with God throughout my life; however, out the many visits to church (in the past) it seemed I could not get break the barrier called religious taboos brought about by the unknown of scriptural understanding and many fears of seeking out answers for the meaning of life from The Most High God; however, when it comes to the vision, it opens up an understanding in me that far surpasses any fears I had accumulated through the years of my own search of God and divine understanding of why I am alive today and where I came from. I believe that anyone that reads "The Vision Is Here" will come to know something, perhaps an answer, that they have themselves, have asked deep inside of their own being. "The Vision Is Here" challenges the modern-day ideas and concepts; while offering (alternative) indisputable answers for many of the unknown mysteries that mankind has struggled to overcome for untold years. Without any question in my mind our world has awakened to another seerer of the strange and unusual; in fact, I have no doubt the prophecy of Habakkuk 2 the prophet has unfolded in our day and time, and I am very confident (after reading Mr. McSwain's book) the "vision" is here!

 

A True Vision, September 27, 2004

The Vision Is Here by Jerry McSwain

Review by Cindy Bell


After the judge gives Jerry the option of either going to jail or to rehab, Jerry chooses rehab. He knows going in that rehab will not help him. Drugs had not helped in the past either, but it had been his only way of escaping reality. While there, Jerry finds friends and mentors, but reality is a bitter pill to swallow, and the real Jerry did not wish to stand for these people.

Depression continues its foggy shadow over him, and finally, he plans his escape. Alone, he finds himself standing before a hospital mirror, fully contemplating a bloody end to his world. They would find him in a heap on the bathroom floor and it would all be over.

"Oh my God, am I dead?" No. God has other plans for Jerry as the vision takes form before him. He stares into the mirror, not believing the things he is seeing; a vision from God of which Jerry does not yet understand.

When it is over, he has no idea of how long he has been standing there. He has no idea of whether or not any of it has really happened at all, that is, until a night time visitor spells it out for him.

He is seven foot tall and dressed in black. He paces at the foot of Jerry's bed as a roaring lion about to pounce on its prey. "I know you, Jerry!" he roars.
Can we imagine anything more terrifying than having Satan know us? If there is anything worse, I would have to say that it would be having him pacing at the foot of my bed on a dark night while I am alone. "You will not tell anyone what you have seen!" he tells Jerry. After several threats about keeping the vision to himself, he leaves Jerry's room.

Jerry decides that if Satan wants it kept quiet, there must be something to it. He turns to God for help and for the next several years, he studies his Bible relentlessly and discovers the truth. What is the truth?

The truth is that Satan is necessary to God's plan. Satan is real. He lives. He is in our homes, our schools, our government, and even in our churches. He has the power of utter destruction, but only if we allow him to have that power. After reading this true story of a true vision by Jerry McSwain, my life changed. I no longer give Satan the power because The Vision Is Here' brings us to the realization of just how small Satan really is compared to our Almighty God. Jerry McSwain no longer lives the life of a drug addict. He lives for our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Though he battles Satan on a daily basis, The Vision Is Here' was written, proving to us that God has the power. A definite five stars goes to Mr. McSwain's worthy effort in exposing Satan for what he really is!
