I was born three days after Yom Kippur during a star shower, thus I was named after John the Baptist. Herbert Armstrong thought he was the embodiment of John, but, he failed to answer the riddle of John’s birth, which I have done. I believe the world is coming to an end. People have taken everything from me. Forgive them, they know not what they do!
John

“He then sets forth “God’s truth” as the solution to all these problems, the truth
that no one has understood for nearly 1900 years, the truth that God has now revealed
to him alone to proclaim to the world. He presents himself as the fulfillment of
Isaiah’s prophecy of “the voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord” (Isa. 40:3, 9-10), and the fulfillment of Malachi’s prophecy,
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me” (Mal.
3:1).
Armstrong admits that these prophecies refer to John the Baptist, but claims
that they have a “dual application,” and refer also to him (Armstrong), who, he
claimed, would prepare the way for Jesus’ Second Coming just as John the Baptist
had prepared the way for Jesus’ first coming. Armstrong cites his personal ministry
in publishing and on radio and television as the “lifted up” voice referred to by
the prophets.
