Time of awakening, NDE, first visions, presence of God

Chapter 1: When it all began: 1991 Near Death Experience

I had three Near-Death Experiences. The first occurred when I was born on April 23, 1971, about three months premature. I was blue in color without breath and had to spend time in an incubator. This experience is generally not consciously recalled, except through parental recollections. However, some researchers think that these are the "blue,” “indigo," or "children of the millennium," who are highly gifted in intuition and other special gifts. Living as a typical child until the age of ten, I was then hit by a car and had a few close encounters with death and Out-of-Body Experiences during the stay in the hospital. This actually involved many NDE's occurring several times.
These close encounters were somewhat frightening, as the intravenous tubes that were plugged into my arm malfunctioned by reversing fluid flow, and blood exited the body, filling up the bag while sleeping. Several times this caused me to leave the body and walk around the hallways of the hospital in spirit form. I saw demon-like entities in the dress of doctors walking through the halls, attempting to coerce me to join them -- something to be repressed in memory, and I told no one.
After another largely uneventful ten years on earth of no special background, but with an above average intelligence (called by my peers as "the brain"), in November 1991 at the age of twenty, the author had the ultimate Near-Death Experience due to a failing heartbeat. It was odd, given the age at the time, when one should not be concerned with health, afterlife or spiritual matters. Previously I was essentially an earthly materialist, almost atheistic, believing most or all religious, spiritual or supernatural concepts to be pure mythical hogwash, something simply conjured up by man to fill a void or as an opiate of the masses, or results of overactive imaginations, and I never took the Bible seriously. My family raised me in a manner that allowed the mind to be free from all religious dogma or doctrine, enabling me to ultimately seek the highest, objective truth on my own, internally.
My concept of life and death changed immediately thereafter, but still I did not take the Bible or other religions seriously, and was not exposed to some of the poisonous nonsense some teach. This completely changed immediately after October 1999, at the time of the awakening. Then I really understood, thereafter becoming aligned with the Creator. The Glory and infinite attributes of the afterlife were so profound that religious concepts and man's take on God vastly pale in comparison; it is so unlike the concepts of sin, Satan and “hell” perpetuated by traditional, mainstream faiths. God is simply inexpressible, as was this experience, and it took me seven years before I could write down even a shorthand version.
During this 1991 episode, many profound otherworldly visions were observed in the brief time the spirit left the body. Needless to say it was the most wondrous, life-changing and powerful experience I, or any other human, can undergo, and therefore must first be read to understand the time line of events leading up to more recent episodes: prophetic visions, angelic experiences, and their full relation to scriptural realities and other prophecies.
It is extremely difficult to elaborate into words, as the English language is far from adequate to accurately describe such an event. I have generally in the past remained silent about it due to the negative reaction or disbelief encountered, even among friends and family members and even with the doctor with whom I silently met afterwards. It is next to impossible to convey the experience to those who have not experienced such an event, especially when it disagrees with their own personal or religious beliefs.
Thankfully perception has been changing in past years, and it is no longer perceived as a fringe subject. There is great reason God has permitted millions of people to experience this and come back in the past 30 years or so: to spread the word of true, divine reality. In fact, as will be discussed, NDE's are bringing back ancient spiritual knowledge into harmony with correct religious beliefs that have long been suppressed and kept secret, and which is somewhat incongruous with most current, mainstream, traditional religions, so that most are therefore unaware of such enlightened concepts. On the opposite side of the spectrum of the materialistic critics are those, such as religious fundamentalists, who, because they cannot easily apply NDE's to their own particular, narrow doctrines or theology, erroneously dismiss them as something created by the imagination, or "being of the devil."
Skeptics generally make attempts to explain away such phenomena through analyses such as: "Must have been a dream." Or, "Chemicals are released, giving the brain the impression of afterworld visions in order to cope," product of the imagination, etc. These folks, while well meaning and intelligent, are completely incorrect. This was by far the most profound and real incident the author ever experienced, with dramatically immense, life-altering consequences. In fact, what we call reality (the material world) seems like unreality compared to the other side.
The situation is identical in most NDE experiences, and few experiences generate such powerful and dramatic life-altering aftereffects. It personally demonstrated to the author beyond any shadow of a doubt: not only does the conscious being persevere beyond the physical, earthly realm, but what follows is far more incomprehensibly grand than the imagination is capable of producing. Those who have had similar experiences -- and millions have -- know how it immediately changes your life, and how life is viewed. Forever.

Author's Near-Death Experience, in detail

A dank, gray November night, 1991.
This was a rough time; a depressing day had passed. At this time in my life I was eating poorly and sadly out of shape (not overweight -- very skinny actually, just unfit). After drinking a pot of coffee in an attempt to lift my sorrows, it was impossible to fall asleep. Lying in bed, tossing and turning for several hours, I found sleep evasive. Around 3 A.M., still alert and wired, tossing and turning with annoying restlessness, I was lying on my back, listening to the relaxing drone of my heartbeat, like counting sheep.
I listened to the sound produced by the form of muscle called the cardiac that beats like clockwork: Lub-thump..lub-thump...lub... --(silence) — the heart came completely to rest in my chest. I could immediately feel the blood flow slow down, then completely stop in every part of the body. In that first second, my spirit "detached" from the body and hovered within and around it. It was possible to see the surrounding bedroom and body although my eyes were closed. Being free from physical limitations I was suddenly able to think hundreds of times faster, and with far greater clarity than is humanly normal, or possible.
Realizing that the next beat did not arrive, I continued to feel the blood "oxidizing" as it completely rested in all veins and arteries. At this point I realized and accepted that I had died; it was time to move on.
It was a feeling of inexpressible, total peace, utterly devoid of fear or pain, and didn't involve any emotions at all. Time itself, as we perceive it, abruptly became infinite and irrelevant. In "earth time" perhaps only about fifteen seconds had passed until the heart re-started beating, but "I" was also in "zero time" (for lack of a better phrase), or actually outside of linear time, which could only be described as eternity itself.
This seemed to be a natural progression; an automatic review of my entire life transpired with every event and thought ever experienced complete with emotions (but viewed objectively) rolling in front and around like a simultaneously superimposed panoramic movie. From physical birth to death, in a linear fashion, observed without sadness or remorse; if anything, it seemed I was judging myself.
In "earth time" the life review only lasted, in my best estimation, a quarter of a second, yet weeks seemed to be spent replaying my life. Once it was complete, there were a few more automatic "instructions," and I boldly proclaimed with a sense of ominous surety, spontaneously, "God, take me now." I then became immersed in indescribably infinite peace, bliss, ecstasy, and unimaginable Love, and acquired understanding so great, so awesome and so boundless as to be humanly incomprehensible.
While I was there (and only there), instant access was given to knowledge; "everything that ever was, is, and will be." The true nature and constitution of the entire universe was suddenly clear as a bell, like a giant jigsaw puzzle. It seemed to have an elaborate, synchronistic yet simple and immaculately perfect order to it. In fact, it was evident I was soon to become part of and One with it. I was about to join the entity which could only be described as ... GOD; so vast in dimension, scope and power even Biblical words cannot approach a proper description. Yet I checked back to observe my physical body, and couldn't leave until it was totally devoid of life.
At this point about 13 heartbeats (about 15 seconds) had failed. The body I observed lying in bed was mine ... but "I" (soul/spirit, nearly losing all sense of identity, ego) knew it was not yet time to leave. The time on earth was not finished; there was still a purpose to be completed, but I could not discern this upon returning. I found out years later, in October 1999. (Of course, I know now what this is: the angelic duty of Daniel.) When I was jolted back into the body, a stark realization hit: here I was lying on this bed, rapidly losing physical consciousness, with no breath, blood flow or heartbeat! I then did the human thing and panicked in wide-eyed terror by jumping out of bed, pounding my chest with my fist. My heart re-started. I walked downstairs in a nervous caution, shaking like a twig, dripping sweat; my heart was still beating, but irregularly. I was astonished that I was alive, and at what I had seen.
The skeptical doctor who treated me after I had hastily driven myself to the hospital suggested that the heart muscle was suffering loss of nutrients along with the excess caffeine, which most likely caused it go into arrhythmia. There were a few close encounters shortly after, but they soon disappeared after a diet and exercise change. But the doctors seemed almost cynical of the situation, given my youthful age.
I was not able to retain this knowledge given in the celestial realm upon returning; the human brain is much too primitive and limited to house it. This intelligence and wisdom and consciousness require an entirely different dimension to exist and comprehend. Yet it is part of our physical, three dimensions as well -- just hidden out of view and range of our limited five senses. But I retain enough to remember the sheer awe.
All fear of death vanished thereafter, and the meaning of our very short mortal lives became clear: to live and learn -- to re-learn who we are; experience the physical; go through trial, tribulation and joy which results in growth. We are students at a school called Earth; when the bell rings we go back home, with lessons learned. What we deem "reality" is actually akin to a lucid dream, and the true reality exists on the other side, to which we awaken after death.
Although some things changed in the immediate months following the NDE, there came another time during the summer of 1992 when the profoundly distinct, exhilarating presence of God was felt, as an aftershock to the NDE, which initiated a time of massive transformation emotionally, intellectually, and physically. The author's (previously average) intelligence, understanding, wisdom, creativity and clarity of mind grew rapidly, exceeding that of most humans, into the realm of what is termed "genius" and continued to grow, as it was an evolutionary process. In 1995, standard IQ templates yielded scores averaging 148 or more. Also given were limited psychic, precognitive and intuitive abilities. Power, clarity and discipline of mind were received.
For then I returned to complete high school in 1992, having dropped out a couple of years earlier and obviously, naturally, received straight A's and the highest score of students in virtually every class, and with great ease. Areas of particular interest and fascination were big-picture subjects and how they all interrelated, such as astrophysics (relativity, astronomy), economics and world affairs and general physical sciences; I became skilled in all branches of knowledge and wisdom, as was Daniel of Old.
Aside from having such a youthful age, I also have not received any formal education or training in an institution such as a university or college. That is to say, any exceptional knowledge, wisdom or ability gained was administered through self-education, which is far more efficient, and as a gift gained from God as a consequence of the NDE. The level of wisdom and maturity seemed to exceed even that of old, wise folks. Many of my peers therefore found it uncomfortable to converse with me, and some were jealous.
This newfound power of mind was also used to build the body through weight lifting. Only eight months after starting this rigorous power-lifting program, I went from 120 pounds to nearly 200 pounds of solid muscle. Yet one thing became clear: a disdain for standard, mortal ambition in the material sense. It seemed so trivial and pointless and vain. It was instead a seeking of the meaning and purpose of everything, and this started with self.
There was a purpose and mission the author was to complete in this lifetime before 'going back,' but it was unknown and unclear for many years as I traveled around many cities, suffered through wide varieties of experiences and trials, and therefore grew, building a rock-solid base of character. Obviously this mission has since been identified at the 1999 awakening, as the return of Biblical Daniel.
For the next several years the author, in disillusionment at the now seeming futility of the material, mortal realm, drifted around, country to country, state to state, city to city, in what was to be my personal seven-year "tribulation" period. It was a time of great trauma, suffering, hardship, learning, experience and at the time unbeknownst to me, a testing period necessary to evolve and attain understanding for all possible experiences life on earth could offer. This was living life in its most concentrated form, which gifted and matured me with wisdom, experience, sternness and outlook far beyond my years. Despite my chronological age, it can honestly be said concerning all typical life situations and pitfalls, "I've been there." I therefore can relate to and have compassion for anyone who is undergoing any hardships in life.
Yet it was also a period that began with reckless abandon, where some unrighteous acts were undertaken, due to a complete loss of all fears! I deeply regret these now, looking back from the perspective of someone who has been angelified, but God has forgiven, and in the meantime I paid off negative karma of my own making through this approximately three-year period, hitting bottom around 1996, which marked the start of a rigorous climb that continued until the 1999 angelification. That is, what negative actions one may have undertaken in the past are not a hugely significant bearing on becoming -- changing self and character, and attaining the highest states of existence; to be perfect from birth is not a requirement for angelification: willingness to repent, forgive, and be cleansed and purified IS the requirement.
Some say that in order to know good, one must know evil; to know selflessness, one must first know selfishness. Light and darkness, Yin and Yang. This was true with Daniel in these years, but this has changed to where only good is now possible, and Daniel is obviously saintly/angelic in demeanor and aligned with truth, and all actions sinless. So, it is important to draw a significant line separating pre-angelified, impure and mortal, experience-seeking Daniel to post October 1999 purified angelic Daniel. If it were known that someday I would become Daniel, and an actual incarnate angel of God, I would have done things differently. This was why God had to wait until 1999 before informing me of this identity; the heart and mind first had to be cleansed, purified, and made white. It was necessary to experience all avenues of life, and to learn from the mistakes.
When bottom was reached around 1994-1996, a slow but vigorous climb upwards began, a disciplined effort to turn things around and take initiative and responsibility for my own actions, and become a better person. This process of self-discovery, repentance, and cleansing continued unabated. All things superficial and unworkable had to be destroyed, such as accumulated falsehoods of past years, attitudes of self, others and society which previously caused me to hit bottom. Only then did the internal search for truth lead to peace and fulfillment; through the conquering of oneself, letting go of the past and all past associations, stripping away of worldly, fleshly desires, and casting out of the "demons of the mind."
Through this repentance, finding of self and relentless search for truth and wisdom, I actually became, in the end, before the age of 30, the Truth, the Light and the Way.
While residing on the west coast, U.S.A., a deep sense of impending doom pervaded every fiber of my being during much of 1997. There was something looming down the line for society and the world, something immense, an event of staggering and unprecedented consequence. I could not yet determine exactly what it was, but it was disturbing and I sensed it was certainly BIG.
At this time I was not privy to what was eventually to become a near full-time endeavor into the potential implications of the millennium computer bug (did not study Y2K until early 1998), and other subjects dealing with the economy (a future major recession) and strategic world events concerning a future great conflict, and conceivably a global natural disaster.
Then, in November 1997, before realizing who I was to become, I received a vision from God in a dream of the night, the first of its kind. This was no regular dream; it was from the other side. This object shown, what I then termed the Doomsday Clock, was shown in absolute, three-dimensional clarity and in full, rich color, clearly remembered to this day. It concerned the significance of the Biblical book of Daniel and the future, concerning his present sojourn on earth. Yet I did not at the time realize it completely; I was not yet awakened with the Holy Spirit.

Chapter 2: The Doomsday Clock

This prophetic journey ultimately leading up to the identification of my identity of reincarnated Daniel and subsequent angelification, but before consciously realizing this, in retrospect, began with the vision from God received by night that occurred in November 1997, which I shall interpret and describe.

1. It was in the shape of a rectangular box about three feet in length and two feet in height. It had a vastly ancient appearance, seemingly thousands of years old, and fearfully ominous in nature and presence.
   Its construction was of metal appearing to be that of hand-polished stainless steel texture, with a shimmering, distinctly bronze tinge in countenance. The exquisite precision and quality of this machine, far exceeding that of modern technology, cannot be overstated.
   On the front face were four odd-shaped bolts in each corner, and the edges and corners were curved and rounded with a protruding ridge. This front face consisted of several open cutouts, positioned in varying, staggered, irregular locations, each being of several inches in height and width. These totaled seven in number. Within these openings were positioned reels that spun in a vertical fashion, with varying rates of speed and in a manner like a casino slot machine.
   Some of these openings -- each being of different size -- also had reels of differing size, and of number; the larger boxes had four, five or six reels, while the smaller ones had fewer. There seemed to be 49 reels altogether.
   On a few of these reels were imprinted numbers, and the remainder had what appeared to be densely concentrated, elaborate symbols resembling what appeared to be hieroglyphics and words in Hebrew. It was also observed that a few, perhaps three or four, had stopped spinning entirely and were locked in place.
   I immediately knew, then, the purpose of this machine, and its significance is now to be stressed: It was a sort of divine computer; a countdown clock to the real Time of the End, which really means the end of the age, that had rested dormant until the time was right. Or, in other words, when the first of these reels began its methodical halting, in late 1997, the actual countdown to what is called the End of Days (not noticed at the time but apparent now in retrospect) was now underway, and once begun, could not be stopped. The 49 reels were 49 years after the declaration of the nationhood of Israel in 1948. Seventy years (a time frame relevant to Biblical prophecy) is the time span from 1948 to 2018.
   With each successive halted reel came a highly complex, quasi-mathematical solution unlocked and deciphered when formulated with the other motionless reels. Within them contained singular revelations Daniel was to obtain during his return. There seemed to be what looked like a lightning bolt connected between each stationary reel, electrified across the face of the machine.
   With each halting, new, secret pieces of the puzzle as played out in worldly events, such as Iraq and the Kosovo conflict and the Global Realignment concerning post-Cold War Russia, China and America were, as stepping stones, being revealed before our very eyes, ultimately leading up to what is to be the final global war of its kind on earth: World War Three; yet it is not necessarily “written in stone.” The end secret of the clock was finally revealed to Daniel in mid-2000: The Day of the Lord, which is documented in a later section.
   It is when, finally, all reels have locked in place that the secret is unsealed, and/or the main hostilities are to commence, and it is I who was to receive and interpret this information, as God saw fit. As of fall 1997, the unstoppable journey had begun and would be completed within the lifetime of most now living on earth, no more than 15 to 25 years from now. Yet the World War III scenario is avoidable, and you can play a part, as will be shown in further sections.
   At the time of the vision, and until the summer of 2000, I did not know the exact end to all of this, nor the final outcome.
   I was finally shown the ultimate end outcome in the summer of 2000: the Second Coming, or Son of Man, Day of the Lord, but the details between now and then remain fuzzy. But they are further discussed in later chapters.
   Though not having seen the progress of the clock since that time, the author then started on a quest to determine what this was to be. Accordingly the author shortly after, in March 1998, set up a website to be devoted to the whole subject of what was thought at the time to be a mere hobby by a typical person, unknowledgeable as to who and what I was to become. (This site used to be http://www.angelfire.com/or/truthfinder, but has since been moved to: http://www.finalbookofdaniel.com.) It used to be called Year 2000 Economics.
   I knew the general guideline of events ultimately leading to the conclusion of that to come, yet the details were sketchy and unclear, as was the outcome at the time, but the general thesis publicly proclaimed since Day One has been:

"We will have to experience a (several-year) period of severe economic tribulation that will fundamentally alter the world's economic structure, from which a new strategic paradigm will emerge: a full, total global war in the next twenty years that will be fought with maximum effort, nuclear weapons will be used, and the America/China/India/Russian "problem" will be resolved ... but only after a culmination of unforeseeable events climax into World War Three in which either a new global power for the next long cycle is determined, or re-appointed (that is, the U.S.A.) ..."

All that remained in this mystery was to fill in the blanks, connect the dots, the specific details leading up to this final war, should it not be averted. I was unaware of its relationship to the Biblical Daniel prophecies until October 1999 when God disclosed my identity, and that it was a congruent, prophetic addition to Scripture. Only after August 2000 did I realize, through a profound vision of the Second Coming that the inquiry of Daniel of Old asked in the last lines of Daniel, chapter 12 was now answered. That question was,
"My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?" He replied, "Go your way Daniel, for the words are to remain secret and sealed until the time of the end, many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase ... But you, go your way to the end, and rest; you shall rise for your reward at the end of the days."
Well, that outcome has been answered: The Day of the Lord.

As I was able to devote many hours to the site and subjects therein, it then became a pursuit that indulged every waking thought. It was heavily weighted to the prospect of an economic depression, and how the Y2K computer bug was a great potential threat to the prosperity then underway. These many hours of work resulted in one of the top respected Y2K sites on the Internet, which was very influential in gaining a greater understanding of the economic complexities of Y2K. Many inspired writings by others resulted, and the site was heavily visited by many high-ranking government and military officials. It received 150,000 visits prior to the year 2000 and had 800 e-subscribers at its peak. It was visited by many top-ranking military officials and politicians, including Greenspan and Senator Robert Bennett. I had spent about 5000 hours covering this issue over the period of two years and earned almost nothing in the material sense; I was unknowingly doing this as a divine duty, the great test before being awakened to the identity of Daniel at the end of the days.
Later chapters of this book contain a general explanation and brief historical summary history of Y2K and why it turned out to be a virtual “non-event” as a final outcome. Briefly, these dire warnings were substantially responsible for creating a self-defeating prophecy. The outcome of the Y2K rollover was shown in a dream in full color in July 1999 that I briefly mentioned and made public to my list subscribers the day after. This was before I knew of my identity as Daniel.

"...I had a weird dream last night. Let's hope it's prophetic: I dreamt of the Jan. 1 Y2K rollover. Nothing happened! The lights stayed on and there were no noticeable ill effects. I felt like a moron for storing food and supplies! Too bad it was just a dream."

It was a prophetic dream, where I was up in a tall building, overlooking a major city shortly before the Y2K rollover. In this dream -- seen in full clarity and color -- I was full of anxiety in anticipation, looking down at the brightly lit metropolis, waiting for the power to shut down and chaos to break loose. To my shock, in this dream, virtually nothing happened across the country in the following hours! When I awoke I figured it must have been a nightmare, considering the consensus among most Y2K gurus and government officials that there would almost surely have been at least some major outages and other significant problems. After all, the evidence was strong and compelling. This seemed impossible -- become a Pollyanna based on a dream? Perhaps I should have been keener to put faith in this dream -- it was prophetic, and it was correct! Therefore, this one was from God. My error was to downplay its significance, but I took its message seriously enough to thereafter abandon further Y2K coverage after September 1999.
However, from this point on, the dissertation that we would soon have to undergo a nasty recession and market crashes continued, and I steadfastly covered this with stubbornness, despite the prevailing opinion at the time, that of extreme bullishness and hubris. I received further visions from God shortly after the angelic awakening of October 1999.
In early March 2000 I had a lucid dream that this was indeed the case: interest rates, in this vision, went up a full half-point; the press made a big commotion of it, and so did investors: there was chaos for several days. Whether this was for March 21 or some other time in the future was not determined while in this vision, but I said beforehand to subscribers:

"But mark my words: it will ultimately happen soon enough. In any case, time's well overdue for the market to crash horrendously in the near-term, and the NASDAQ will lead the way; don't be caught in the maelstrom."

Well, interests rates did rise a half point in March, and the markets crashed with historic losses during April. This was said while everyone was in a bullish mood. One year later the NASDAQ was down 60%.
Although the content of the dream came to pass, it did not ensue in the chronology expected (the rate rise came after the crashes), but it came true nevertheless. So, also projected was a sideways and/or rising market through summer, into fall, at which time there was an extremely high possibility of further declines before election time. This of course came true. For nine months before the elections, I confidently proclaimed Bush would become president of the U.S. Despite the election's close call, it indeed was Bush who held office.
As one will see in these economic forecasts documented in chapters ahead, we are about to enter very rough economic times. By the time you read this book, we will be in recession. (That was accurately predicted, the recession came in 2001.) There are more fulfilled forecasts documented in section 6.
Virtually everything forecast on the site at the beginning of the year 2000 after the angelification has come to pass, including the April (spring) market crashes in the NASDAQ, as well as the half-point rise in interest rates which came in this precognitive dream in early March, along with a recession. Some vindication should be in order. It is critical to point out that prophecy is far more than simply "making predictions, then hoping they come true." Prophecy is about issuing a WARNING of what could happen if the message is not heeded, with the intent of offering a solution to change the outcome. That's what Y2K was about. Prophecy is not always written in stone.
And with your help, we may be able to avoid this World War of the Third kind. See chapters ahead, and how you may help Daniel in averting this potential calamity.
Much of this seemed to occur in a sort of reverse awakening after the fact. Then came a time for God to fulfill the last sentence of Daniel 12: "But you, go your way to the end, and rest; you shall rise for your reward at the end of the days."
In the beginning of 1998 and through fall of that year while intently involved in Y2K coverage on the Internet, and the beginnings of my web site, I began envisioning something "connected" to the body; the back and spine ...

Chapter 3: The wings on the shoulders

During this early/late 1998 period, often and repeatedly, while visiting an establishment such as a bar or restaurant -- around the public -- as would occasionally be the situation after a day of work, I began observing vague but clearly distinct, etheric outlines of what appeared to be wings connected to the upper back. What may seem astonishing, particularly in retrospect, was the fact that I was not overly flabbergasted to see them! Considering the magnitude of the previous NDE, they were considered an unremarkable, benign novelty, categorized with all else experienced. But I remember sobbing once at their beauty when I first saw them; it exceeds anything known on earth in terms of exotic substance.
The nature of the wings as visually observed during these numerous episodes in the early days of 1998 was as follows: They did not seem to be of major consequence to those around me; their power was minimal, and at the time they were not visible to others; they became profoundly visible to everyone immediately after the awakening, however. Their appearance was of barely discernable, non-physical (like a picture of a ghost), translucent, ethereally rich cobalt blue, with some white and gray, resembling the shape and appearance of a bird's wing, like that of a dove or swan, but without feathers as we understand them, and could be consciously controlled to a limited extent. At rest, they were about five to seven feet in length and at least six inches thick near the shoulders. They could extend to what appeared to be 25 or 30 feet in each direction and could be curled and flexed. After repeating such observation, it was clear I could "test" them, as they continually returned, week after week, seemingly without my will.
When visible and present I would then curl them around and through people (such as a waitress or patron) knowing they could not see the wings, then observe their reaction. The author noticed a subtle reaction, sometimes, such as an affectionate glance, of thanks, of (spiritual) love. However, such obvious reaction seemed quite limited and, at that time, sporadic and of minor effect, and I did not understand what it meant.
One would think the author to become ecstatic, "get religion" or research on the subject of angels at this point? Such was not the case as I still considered the situation to be a benign novelty, as odd as it may seem. I would not dare mention it to anyone, and certainly did not perceive myself as an angel, particularly in the sense commonly (mis) understood. I thought, "Maybe we all have these wings, but no one can see them." I was unaware I was an embryonic angel; at the time the connection was simply not made.
Then came late 1998 when I relocated to a different state when the spirit within became downtrodden, and many months would pass before these wings would again appear. But when they did ultimately return, it far exceeded everything previous in terms of power. This occurred in October of 1999, when I was fully anointed with the Holy, angelic Spirit, in the presence of God, and finally awakened with the chakras opening. My life would never be the same from that point; it would revolve entirely on this newfound identity and mission. In fact, so great was the radiance of the energy and light from my body, it became difficult to function in a normal sense around other humans.

Chapter 4: In the presence of God, the wings re-appear; angelic identity confirmed, Holy Spirit received

Going back to the angelic awakening and being informed of the identity of Daniel, there came a time of intense visions in the direct presence of the Most High God beginning late October and early November 1999 where these revelations came with such divine power that I trembled fiercely; the very core of my being was shaken, and had I not been sitting I would have fallen down. These newfound experiences occurred daily and of such magnitude, everything previously experienced was utterly dwarfed, perhaps aside from the NDE. I was then living in two worlds; one mortal, and one divine and celestial. I was in the Presence of God. The mysterious “kundalini” awakened in full blosom.
So fearsome and earth-shattering were these, and this presence, that the author broke down and wept, several times, jaw dropped in wide-eyed disbelief, for the truths -- however extreme -- were now given and received identified! The first leg of the author's unknowing mission on earth had been completed and shown: the work on Y2K and its goal of economic enlightenment and preparation, warning and the beneficial cascading interrelated effect it helped produce.
During these powerful experiences the Next Leg of the life mission and journey was also stunningly shown, as it is the Living God directly Who has instructed the author to document it publicly.
During these first few days of tremors in October 1999, while awake, in the overwhelming Presence of God the Creator, it was “communicated” as to who and what I am, in a way that is difficult to describe,

"Beloved, you have purified your heart, it is now time to tell you who you are. You are the figure behind the Biblical, Old Testament book Daniel. You are now back in resurrected form, and as of now, are also an angel."

The author was confounded and repeatedly questioned,
"No, no. Oh my ... God; this can't be happening! No way ... God, can it be? I am Daniel of the Bible, and now an actual angel of God?" I asked in a state of complete shock and wonder over the first several days of these occurrences, with many tears of awe.
I was informed not only that I was in fact thereafter a genuine, fully actualized, partially transfigured, Holy Spirit energized, live angel coexisting with a physical body endowed with the Holy Spirit, but also the reincarnate (angelic) spirit of the Biblical figure Daniel! I was totally clueless to the fact that humans could become angels, as are most people, until actually becoming one.
Perhaps God predestined this designation to appear as coincidence, since my birth name happens to be Daniel as well. I had not at all known the content or material of that book, since almost nine years had passed since last reading it (and only because of the name), and certainly at the time did not comprehend all of its confusing symbolisms, and was uninterested in Biblical matters or prophecy. But suddenly from that point, in 1999, I somehow knew all, with the mind expanding into clarity beyond measure!
From that day forward my body and mind underwent a dramatic transformation, and began emanating dramatically exotic bluish-white light around the body, complete with wings blazing from the back, profoundly visible for complete strangers to see and feel. I became the embodiment of divine will on earth and effectively attained God, or Christ-consciousness.
Also witnessed were a vast legion of other angels, somewhat in flight, with me in the middle, or on top -- warriors being summoned for the final war. The spiritual war, or the 'war in heaven' as is commonly called, is currently underway; positions are being taken, which will manifest simultaneously with World War Three, should this event not be averted. It seems they too had been at dormant rest as I had, and consciously awakened as well. Angels tend to appear, intervene and thrive on a crisis, impending or occurring, and are heavily involved in prophecy. The whole Y2K experience was indeed about prophecy concerning a potential disaster and how it could be averted. Once my duties were unconsciously completed by late 1999, God awakened me with the promised reward.
Immediately after God conveyed this initial experience, in October 1999, after the second day, I was compelled -- or pulled -- into a bookstore and was 'drawn' into a section I had previously little interest or knowledge in, containing books of God and faith as I knew, now, exactly what I was to read.
After briefly thumbing through a book on the ins-and-outs about angels, a subject I had very little specific knowledge of previously -- and was previously unaware if angels were even real -- I trembled in shock and had to place the book down after a few pages, for it was describing essentially what was now already automatically known, almost supernaturally! After all, I was now an embodied, awakened angel of God! Many of these books are incorrect on many points and based on accounts of second-party encounters and sporadic Biblical references, or consist of psychological, anthropocentric (humanistic) anachronisms. Another reason I am here is to once and for all clear up the myths, misconceptions and superstitions (which I will do later in the book), and explain the true constitution and abilities of an angel, the wings and their role, and I have the authority to do so; this proceeds directly from the source -- a live, incarnate angel of God.
I also knew what book therein I was to purchase (for the first time); The Holy Bible, and automatically knew which section instructed to read: the book of Daniel. When I had started reading it with somber anticipation, the author was utterly stunned into another intense shaking fit, hands to mouth, as the words seemed to come alive from the pages; it seemed I already now supernaturally comprehended the meaning with full clarity, as though it was I who had written it! I was reading my own words! Wide-eyed and in astonishment, I continued to read it a few times; the exhilaration of the experience was unforgettable, yet the other books of the Bible did not have this effect, only the book of Daniel. I also noticed it had the same writing style of the author, as I tend to refer to myself in the third person. The personality traits and characteristics seemed to be identical as well: loyal, introspective, firmly resolute, courageous, filled with God-given 'wisdom,' apocalyptic in prophetic content, skilled in dreams with concerns of world issues. It seemed a perfect fit, like a glove waiting to be filled, suddenly making perfect sense. It was an identity reserved until the time was right, in my life until the awakening, of the world, and of the promised return of Daniel. The glove fully dressed the hand at that time, in every conceivable way.
Daniel of Old was a Jewish exile and priest taken captive from Israel in 605 B.C. when that country was under siege, trained to be a "wise man," then became administrator over the affairs of ancient Babylon, then of the Mede-Persians after Babylon's fall for most of his life. Daniel of Old experienced many fascinating and supernatural encounters, like the famous lion's den and fiery furnace, and the book includes prophetic visions and visits with angels. It is the major apocalyptic book of the Old Testament, dealing with the "time of the end" and a future progression of world empires leading up to the ministry of Jesus and the destruction of the Jewish nation, Israel, which ultimately occurred by A.D. 70. A lengthy commentary on the old book of Daniel is provided in section 7.
My fascination with economics, astronomy and world affairs was no coincidence; it was merely carried over from one life to the next. A past-life flashback, visionary experience soon thereafter occurred while awake. I was near the royal palace on a beautiful summer night, on a second-level patio overlooking a vast crowd who were playing instruments and celebrating and partying. It was a prosperous and joyous time, and I too was enjoying the festivities. They were playing songs remarkably identical to some new-age songs by Adiemus! I later learned I also was a Russian soldier killed in World War II, which also matched an unusual interest in that war and the Holocaust. I was also martyred in the name of God in four other previous lifetimes. Should it then come as a surprise that I was rewarded with angelic status through such past-life karma?
Here are the final verses from Daniel 12 to put things into perspective:

"...At that time Michael [Archangel], the protector of your people, shall arise. There shall be a time of anguish, such as never occurred since nations first came into existence. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone found written in the book [of life]. Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. But you, Daniel, keep the words secret and the book sealed until the time of the end. Many shall be running to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."

"Then I, Daniel, looked, and two others [angels] appeared, one standing on the bank of this stream and one on the other. One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters, "How long shall it be until the end of these wonders?" The man clothed in linen raised his right hand and his left hand towards heaven. And I heard him swear by the one who lives forever and ever that it would be for a time, times, and a half time, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end, all these things would be accomplished. I heard but could not understand; so I said, "My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?" He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are to remain secret and sealed until the time of the end. Many shall be purified, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked shall continue to act wickedly. None of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand. From the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that desolates is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days. Happy are those who persevere and attain the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days. But you, go your way to the end, and rest; you shall rise for your reward at the end of the days."

Being of stubbornly skeptical, methodical style and not the type to blindly jump to conclusions, particularly of this variety, and always committed to the truth, I was psychologically unready to accept it, though I could not deny what was happening. Nor could I deny the voice and will of God. Daniel!? ... An angel with wings?!? As crazy or implausible as it sounds, yes. It took me several months to fully come to grips with this whole situation, and to ultimately comprehend what Daniel was supposed to do at the end of the days during his return.
This began an unparalleled journey. This was further confirmed thereafter through prayer and many extravagant, divine dreams where the content of Daniel was shown, and its relationship to the author. Additionally, dates were revealed which are highly relevant concerning Daniel's 21st century life and Daniel's prophecies, which will later be discussed.
The forty days following the initial endowment of the Holy Spirit, on a daily basis I requested for God to confirm this reality of angelhood through objective observation in public, by the reaction of those around me, and would accept this only with unquestionable and overwhelming evidence. The results were stunning and overwhelmingly confirmed. In fact, after this time period, by mid-December 2000, everywhere I went people would point at me, discussing among themselves, indicating I was an angel, yet I had not told scarcely a soul or said anything to anyone about angels or myself to these people during this time period! [Only two altogether: one pastor and one lone waitress] This continued uninterrupted throughout 2002 for approximately 3.5 years.
Now, how did everyone else -- literally hundreds, and now thousands of people -- discover this? Continue reading through the angelic journeys of this book in the next two sections where many of these actual public experiences are documented. Quite simply, God allowed these people to actually visually see the wings and angelic aura for themselves, and actually feel this powerful, newfound Spirit-Force radiating profusely from my body with extreme tangibility; and word spread rapidly. It continued thereafter, to this day -- on a near daily basis, and as a result I have had to pull away, to significantly withdraw from the public and normal mortal concerns. It was thereafter required to be a loner in this existence; I've since had to forcefully withdraw from family and friends and societal relationships due to this newfound, direct, servantile relationship with God, and avoid significant intimate, human relationships, as least in the traditional sense. The phrase, "Oh my God, he's an angel!!" has been heard a minimum of 100 times thus far, by 2002. After the experiences documented in the next section is a lengthy dissertation in order to make sense of the reality and essence of what constitutes an incarnate or celestial angel, as well as traits and qualities.
