Ladies and Gentlemen, I will begin by saying that Omen is the last Half Makeshift album.  I will not be recording any new material and there won't be anymore material released (if so it is without my permission).  I'm sure you are all wondering why this is.  Well back in January there was a period of three days where I saw something that not just made me uneasy, but scared the crap out of me.  I saw the public denial of God presented to huge audiences.  Normally I wouldn't care.  I was brought up in a Christian home and went to church until my father decided that it really was the end of the church age and that it was time to leave.  Shortly after I stopped doing the Bible studies he had for us and just did whatever I wanted.  He wasn't mad, but he told me to keep my ears open to what was going on in the world.  He believed that 2011 was the final year of the world, but I didn't care. 

Now what does this have to do with the end of Half Makeshift?  Well I have recently begun studying the Bible.  There are huge studies on this that can be found at www.familyradio.com and a nice summary of what I believe is going on right now can be found here: http://www.familyradio.com/graphical/literature/waat/waat_temp.html .  I am only starting to scratch the surface of it all, but everything that I am reading in the Bible and with these studies locks into place completely.  There is no doubt in my mind that we are in the time of the Final Tribulation and that God has left the church completely.  There are only about three years left as the day of the Rapture has been figured out to be May 21, 2011 and that is followed by a 153 day period (exactly 5 months Rev. 9:5) of Hell on Earth.  The story of Noah lines up perfectly with this.  The Flood took place in 4990 BC and in Gen. 7:4 God tells Noah he has 7 days to get into the Ark before the destruction of the world.  In II Peter 3:6-7 God relates the flood to Judgment day and in verse 8 God says that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Interestingly enough the flood happened 7,000 years from 2011!  (4990 + 2011 – 1 = 7,000)  [Subtract 1 because there is now year 0]  Put this all together and God was not only telling Noah he had 7 days to get into safety, but he is also telling his elect that they have 7,000 years before the end of the world!  This is only one of the details that points to 2011 as being the very end.

This may not seem to have anything do with the end of my music project but it comes down to this: basically I have no time for Half Makeshift now.  The world will end in 2011.  There is far more Biblical proof than what I have just said and everyday something new is discovered.  I will not be selling my copies of Omen.  I will not be selling any copies of anything that I have previously released either.  To do that would only help everyone who doesn't know what is going on to live in ignorance until it is too late.  Do your own research.  Read the Old King James as it is the closest to the original Hebrew and Greek that the Bible was originally written in.  This is not a joke and there are no apologies for this.  There are 1,144 days left on Earth from the day I'm writing this (March 3 2008).
