Thank you Freepers, I got my flowers, they are beautiful, I think I cried.

NM monument,,,?

Perhaps,
But it seemed much more
Personal.
If You look at Bob’s final
Post you’ll see His urgency.
He stated an incident was documented
at his hospital.
Also he was going to write
Local newspapers,,,
I checked Bob’s web page,
ChristianPatriot.com and
Discovered the name
Reverend Robert m Celeste.
I assumed that is
His title.
Bob seemed a True
Warrior for Christ.
I Trust he is with Our Lord.

Yes, that is his name.
Two things he was excitedly talking about the last few weeks:
1. The doctors (4 I believe) all agreed that ‘His God healed him.’ Bob was stage 4 cancer 4 years ago. A tumor on his colon that they removed. He refused kemo and radiation. He called on God, used apricot seeds and water with baking soda. The surgery was at a VA hospital in Albuquerque. The blood tests for the next 2 1/2 years showed cancer free. They stopped the blood tests and entered the above phrase into his record. Last September they found something going on in the liver and growing - it was cancer. The drs. figure the tumor had been near the liver and the cancer has metastasized.
By December Bob was showing yellow on his skin. He went to Togus just after Christmas and they nursed him to health. He started drinking at least a gallon of water each day and the kidneys seemed to clear out the impurities. Last week - March 1 and 2 he did not drink fluids. The impurities stayed in his body and on Saturday the 2nd he started showing yellow. His wife was contacted and then on Monday again ‘Get up here - he does not have long.’
By Wednesday the 6th he had yellow in his eyes as well. He stopped eating and drinking (& talking as well) on Wednesday and we knew it was just a matter of time.
Bob was excited that the drs. recognized that God had healed, also that they entered that into his official record. He shared with everyone about the blood of Jesus and the offer of forgiveness and life through faith.
Bob grew up Roman Catholic and had become very short and confrontational with Catholics. That posture changed drastically the last 2 months of his life. One dear friend he made at Togus was a priest - who would stop by to talk to Bob almost every day asking questions and praying with Bob.
(I will give part 2 tomorrow when I have time about the 10 commandment monument.)
If there are people that you think might appreciate the above you are free to share.

Bob had seen a 10 commandment monument in New Mexico that is dated back about 3,000 years. He was very interested in finding out who could have put it there and how it got there. He would search the Bible to see if there were any hints.

Here is a modern-day English translation of the Los Lunas Decalogue:

I am Jehovah your God who has taken you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves.
*There must be no other gods before my face.
*You must not make any idol.
*You must not take the name of Jehovah in vain.
*Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy.
*Honor your father and your mother so that your days may be long in the land that Jehovah
your God has given to you.
*You must not murder.
*You must not commit adultery.
*You must not steal.
*You must not give a false witness against your neighbor.
*You must not desire the wife of your neighbor nor anything that is his.

Who put it there - he realized that in 1 Kings 10:22 when Solomon would send out ships, that would be gone for 3 years, they could very well have gone to ‘America’ and would have been led to give out the WORD, LAW, or 10 commands.

How it could get there - Bob realized that the ships were gone for 3 years and that is time enough for a journey to NM. When he saw ‘currents’ in Scripture (Psalm 8:8; 18:4; 24:2...) - he realized that they could have traveled that distance (God had provided a way for the spread of His Word.)
Scurvy - One thing that troubled him was the problem of scurvy among crews on ships. He could not understand how they could have survived a long journey like that.
About two weeks before he died he applied the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics to the human race. Specifically that the further we get from Adam and Eve the more physical weaknesses the body will have. It may be that 3000 years ago the body could have produced its own vitamin C. Scurvy may not have been a problem back then.

The above account were things Bob talked to me about in the last month of life on earth.
