PREFACE

This is a Master Mind Ministries publication. Master Mind Ministries was founded in 1994. Romans 12:2 tells us we are to be transformed by the renewing of our mind, so a key question we would ask is "Who or what is the master of YOUR mind?" As you become acquainted with our writings, you will be challenged to answer that question in depth.

This is a connecting the dots ministry. The concepts are constantly being brought into new perspective as our awareness increases, thus our views have changed over the years, and will continue to change as long as we are here. What is here today may be changed tomorrow. We will continue to update and upgrade our writings as warranted to be sure they represent our current thoughts and the realities of our times. Our work called Connecting the Dots is a compilation of all of the writings available through our ministry prior to the summer of 2001. It has been topically divided into seven smaller booklets named Biblical Shadows and Typology, Divine Judgment, Signs of the Times, Occult Agenda, Preparation of the Bride, New Age Government, and New Age Religion. We are currently endeavoring to update these writings to accommodate the growth in knowledge and understanding that has transpired since they were developed. Some of these smaller booklets contain duplicate writings, because the writings apply to more than one topic. Nether Nuggets takes up where Connecting the Dots left off in 2001. If time permits, the writings of our Connecting the Dots will be made available, as well as this book, on our website at nethernuggets.com.

The variety of subjects in this work is rather broad, and a number of highly charged debates within Christendom are addressed in these pages. Have you ever wondered why the Armenians say we can lose our salvation while the Calvinists say we cannot? Don't they use the same Bible? Why do they have such opposing views if they draw their reasoning from the same book? There are numerous paradoxes entrenched in the teachings of Christendom. The writings on this site are by a Christian. However, they would not be seen as aligning to any standard denominational stance. Furthermore, and honest attempt has been made to understand teachings from various religious backgrounds in order to piece together the entire plan of God for mankind at large. This endeavor has led the writer to some rather profound conclusions as to the way in which all of these religions are knit together to form the tapestry of God's plan for the ages. It is an inspiring message, spelled out in Nether Nuggets, which should also be available online very soon at nethernuggets.com. These pages may well hold something for everyone, and we would encourage those of all faiths to take a look at this tapestry!

A tremendous amount of research, covering numerous and varied resources, has taken place to produce these pages. It has been a long-standing goal for this author to piece together many of the end time mysteries and find God's total plan for mankind. Maybe this has, to some degree, been achieved. May those of all faiths find some answers here to the deep and perplexing questions mankind has encountered over the years, and as you read the pages that follow, may you be richly blessed!

SO - be prepared for a rather UNORTHODOX and exhilarating journey. But that's enough for now! Let's start the trip with a stroll down Paradox Alley. You'll find it under our ONLINE BOOK link. It's the first chapter of Nether Nuggets. "Come now, and let us reason together", saith the Lord in Isaiah 1:18, for "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
