This book comes from a paper written to satisfy the requirement for the School of Prophets PhD course for a 21-Day Study Trip to Israel, Jordan (Petra), Turkey and Italy (Rome). The Bible is a book of places. Therefore, this review focuses on the places we visit, their Bible references and the impressions that were made on us. We'll never read the Bible, or listen to the news in Israel, the same way again, because we've been there and seen those places and can still picture them in our mind's eye every day. The tour iss presented through the lens of Bible Prophecy -- past present and future. This book has a similar view and uses the present tense, as a diary, describing the sights we see. The tour is led by Dr. Jimmy DeYoung as part of the PhD program of his School of Prophets, in conjunction with Louisiana Baptist University, from which Dr. DeYoung received his PhD. The book is organized by the ten most memorable events that we experience, each as a chapter, with other events, in time sequence, bridging between these ten chapters. Those ten events are:1. Bus into the city of Jerusalem, playing its song, The Holy City (Jerusalem)...2. Standing at the "tower of the flock" site, where the shepherds would find the baby Jesus, on the first evening in Israel.3. The length and width of the Jezreel/Jordan/Riff Valley.4. Where Jesus was baptized on the Jordan River.5. The Eastern Bridge from the Temple to the Mt. of Olives. 6. Swimming in the Dead and Red Seas.7. Eilat: viewing 4 countries while boating in the Red Sea.8. The size of the ruins of Ephesus and Laodicea.9. The Arch of Titus in Rome; the missing Temple menorah.10. Site of the False Church; where the Common Market agreement was signed - Rome Rising Major impressions of the trip through Israel, Jordan (Petra), Turkey (the 7 Churches of Revelation 2 & 3) and Italy (Rome Rising) are:o Reading the Bible will never be the same!o Seeing where Jesus was born, baptized, died and buried.o Walking the Via Dolorosa through the Old City; praying at the Wailing Wall.o Looking over the Jezreel Valley from Mt. Carmel, imagining a young Jesus there.o Standing on the Mount of Olives where Jesus will return; looking to the Eastern gate of the Temple Mount.o Climbing to the top row of the Ephesus amphitheater where Paul spoke.o Seeing the sources of the hot/cold waters into Laodicea.o Viewing the frescos of the sacking of Jerusalem in the Arch of Titus. o Sitting before the Vatican, in St. Peter's Square, contemplating the false church of Revelation 17 and viewing the site where the Common Market agreement (foreshadowing the European Union) was signed, the early signs of Rome Rising.

God uses the metaphor of marriage to demonstrate His desire for a personal relationship with mankind. Other metaphors related to marriage, such as adultery, divorce, reconciliation, bride, and bridegroom, also reflect various aspects of the Lord's relationship with Israel and the nations throughout history. From the first marriage of the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, to the last, Jesus Christ with His Bride the Church and God with His Bride the nation of Israel, God uses marriage to describe how His creation should relate to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit--a vocation, a covenant, fruitfulness and openness. Throughout the Bible, the marriage relationship is described and used in both history and prophecies of things to come.

Virtual Stage is a project to use Virtual Reality (VR) technology as an audiovisual performance interface. The depth of control, modularity of design, and user immersion aim to solve some of the representational problems in interactive audiovisual art and the control problems in digital musical instruments. Creating feedback between interaction and perception, the VR environment references the viewer's behavioral intuition developed in the real world, facilitating clarity in the understanding of artistic representation. The critical essay discusses of interactive behavior, game mechanics, interface implementations, and technical developments to express the structures and performance possibilities. This discussion uses Virtual Stage as an example with specific aesthetic and technical solutions, but addresses archetypal concerns in interactive audiovisual art. The creative documentation lists the interactive functions present in Virtual Stage as well as code reproductions of selected technical solutions. The included code excerpts document novel approaches to virtual reality implementation and acoustic physical modeling of musical instruments.
