"When I was twenty-four I had a spiritual experience one night while reading the Bible. Just like Saul on the road to Damascus, I 'saw the light' and came to a personal knowledge of Jesus Christ and the Word of God. That night I believe God told me that I would be alive at the moment Jesus Christ comes back. For twenty-one years I have been convinced of this."
