Most of us know the story surrounding the events of Jesus'
Birth. Three wise men, the star, the virgin, and the manger,
these are all associated with his birth in some form or another.
According to scripture it was a glorious event. While the events
surrounding my birth were not quite as glorious, they are
nevertheless recorded quite accurately in Revelation.
     The purpose of this chapter is to take a look at my life with
emphasis on the leadership roles that I have played that have
prepared me to take on the role of the second coming of Christ.
Remember that the Second Coming of Christ is someday to rule the
whole world. Moreover the chapter will recall the day when I
discovered the Dynamic Reflectors; that instrument which has
already made me in certain circles a star of certain
magnitude.
     First let's take a look at what the Bible has to say about the
birth of the second coming of Christ. The relevant chapter is
Revelation chapter twelve. There in states: "And there appeared a
great wonder in the heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the
moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth and pained to be delivered... And she brought forth a man child, who was to
rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up
unto God, and to this throne." (Rev 12:1,2, and 5) There are at
least two different interpretations of the meaning of this
passage. One states that the woman represents the nation of
Israel. The other one that I know of and choose to believe is
that the woman is to represent the mother of the one who is to be
the second coming of Christ.
     A brief look at the passage and what it says about the woman will
let you know why I believe it to represent my mother. First, the
passage refers to the woman being "clothed with the sun." This
could easily refer to my mother as she was born and raised on the
island of Jamaica. Jamaica, which is in the tropics, can easily
be said to clothe one with the sun as the sun shines bright there
all of the time. Living there one really has no need of clothing
except to hide one's shame.
     Mabel Enid Iona Welds Gordon, my mother, can be said to have had
the moon under her feet also. She was born in a little Jamaican
town known as Goodwill. Note there the allusion to the birth of
Christ wherein it is said that he will bring "Peace on earth and
goodwill toward men" Goodwill was a very poor town by
American Standards. They had no electricity or running water
until the late 1960's. My Grandmother stressed to all of her
children the importance of education. My mom took this to heart
and became a teacher herself. She married my dad who became a
dentist which allowed us to move into a very wealthy neighborhood
called Colonial Oaks in East Brunswick, New Jersey. The house
that we moved into was palatial, having five bedrooms, and all
the amenities of a modern home. One of my mother's favorite
sayings to my only brother and Me was: "shoot for the moon and at
least you'll be sure to land upon the tree tops." To be sure
coming from where she started it can be said that she herself had
