On Christmas Eve of 1990; I Was the Weapons Officer On The Tiny Atoll of Diego Garcia aka Known as "God's Footprint" on the Equator of the Indian Ocean (2,500 miles south of India, 4,500 miles east of Kuwait & 4,000 miles west of Thailand) but Diego Garcia was for a fact the closest American base to Kuwait & I was once more thrust to the unenviable task providing weapons, ammunition to the Navy Battle Groups, British Royal Marines, US Marines, Seal Teams, Air Force Bombers & US Army in the Invasion of Kuwait at the beginning of Operation Desert Storm. I had been working for 4 months on "Hot Pad" of the Runway with my 12 "Disciples" Weapons Handlers & it slipped our minds & wore out bodies that it was "Christmas Eve"? On a rare "Break" we drove the 12 miles back to "Dodge" where our barracks were. I had been sleeping in my pick-up truck for about a week, so we were really 'Funky' smelling! My quarters in the Chief's Barracks was completely 'blacked out', as we put tin foil over our windows to keep out daylight & the equatorial heat! The only light on was in my head/bathroom, so I dove into a steaming hot shower & leaning against the bulkhead! After some time I finished & wrapped a towel around me & started out into (what was supposed to be) a pitch black 'Bunk Room'.. Only it wasn't dark but seemed to be "Glowing" towards the opposite corner?? There, floating in the middle of a golden translucent Orb, was a 9 foot tall Angel (you could see Him clearly but you could see 'Through' Him! I stood there in awe as my "Human" mind was dumb struck, was the most beautiful vision that my mind could imagine! the top of His head penetrated the 10 foot tall ceiling? He had an unsheathed 6 feet tall 'Broad Sword' in front of Him & His head was bowed as if in prayer. I saw NO WINGS! It was as if He entered through a golden portal? I could not speak to Him, I just listened to what He was telling me (through mental transference in perfect English). He proclaimed in a very loud & clear voice; "I AM! Lord of the Heavenly Host!" Then He called me "Messenger/Malachi".. What He relayed to me, is what we see on TV & on the Internet Today (it's playing out like a video) & it is very scary, if you are not one of His Chosen People! If you don't know Him, TODAY is the time to seek Him! After the war I painted a pretty accurate picture of what I saw.. And 12 years hence, they made this movie "Kingdom of Heaven" & my Angelic Visitor looks almost EXACTLY like the "Hospitaller Knight" in this movie? God called me His Messenger & I hope & pray that you got The Message :) Ref: Isaiah Chapter 35!
I painted this about 15 years before the movie came out! When God moves in our lives, there ain't not such thing as coincidences :) He named me "Malachi"! I want you to know that Count Godfrey Baldwin (he was unanimously elected The First Christian King of Jerusalem in June 1099 & died of Leprosy) because he was the Most Righteous Knight of the Crusades. He is also my Great Grandfather :)
