To: Robert “Bob” Hovind
KH: Good morning, Lord.
GOD: Good morning, Son. Are you ready to learn something today?
KH: Oh yes, Lord! I’m ready to learn whatever it is you want to teach me so I can go home! What on earth are you preparing me for, Lord?
GOD: It’s not just on earth, Son. Your whole life is just a job interview. I want you to rule and reign with Me for 1,000 years (Rom. 8:17; Col. 3:24; II Thes. 1:5; II Tim. 2:12; II Cor. 5:9-11; Rev. 3:21, 20-21). Not everyone gets that prize, Son. I’m the Father. It’s my job to bless, train, equip, chastise (Heb. 12:6-7) and prepare My children for the future they will face.
Let’s go for a walk, Son. Your earthly father explained it to you well…
Robert “Bob” Hovind (Dad): Hey boys! Let’s go for a ride.
KH: Where to, Dad?
Dad: Well, Sears is having a tool sale today. Let’s go see what they have that you need. I’ll let each of you spend $50 as long as it’s for tools.
KH: Wow! Again? This is great, Dad, but you just did that 4 months ago. I love getting tools, but why do you do this for us?
Dad: Well, Son, some dads buy their kids toys and games. I generally get you boys tools instead. I have to admit that my motive is a little bit selfish. You boys eat a lot! So, I want to teach you and equip you to do lots of things so you can make a living lots of ways. That way I won’t have to feed you for the rest of my life! Ha! Here’s the way I look at it, Son. If you put one hook in the water, the most you can catch is one fish at a time. If you put in a trot line with lots of hooks, you can catch more than one fish at a time. You need to know how to make a living lots of ways. Lots of people only know how to do one thing for a living. What happens to them if that line of work dries up or they get hurt so they can’t do that anymore?
KH: They have a problem!
Dad: That’s right. It’s always good to have several sources of income. Be sure that you have at least one trade you can do with your hands and another you can do with your head. What if you get in an accident and end up in a wheelchair? You can still do lots of jobs like drafting, teaching, writing, etc. Plus, the more skills you have, the greater variety of options you have. You can change jobs any time you like.
KH: Great advice, Dad! You have sure taught us boys a lot! We have designed and built our own house three times now. We can all do the entire job from pouring concrete to electric, plumbing, framing, and roofing. You also made sure we learned how to do just about everything on a car or motorcycle. Thanks Dad! How can we ever repay you?
Dad: You are welcome, Son. I only ask that you do one thing to pay me back.
KH: What’s that, Dad?
Dad: Do the same for your boys.
KH: I’ll try, Dad. I think the greatest thing I learned though is what you taught us without saying a word.
Dad: What’s that, Son?
KH: How to treat a woman. I’ve never seen you get angry or yell at mom. Don’t you two ever fight?
Dad: Ha! Not where you can see it or hear it, Son. We have our days. You will too. Trust me on that one. Let’s go shopping boys.
GOD: Let’s go home, Son…What did you learn?
KH: Oh, Lord! My dad bought us lots of the physical tools, but also made sure we had the mental tools to work hard, work smart, work fast, and to be honest. Thanks for the great parents you gave me. They sure worked hard to prepare us for life.
GOD: That’s the way I designed the family to operate, Son. Lots of people don’t follow My blueprint though. It sure causes lots of heartaches in the world.
KH: It sure does, Lord! I’m in here now with several hundred that had a “less than normal” childhood. When I listen to them talk and watch the way they act, I can’t help but think, “Where were your parents when you were growing up? Didn’t they teach you anything?” I don’t say it out loud though. Very few in here were raised with both natural parents in the house. Many were raised with cursing, yelling, drugs, and alcohol. It’s no wonder they are messed up. Some have no clue who their dad is!
GOD: In my perfect law (Ps. 19:7) I called for adultery to be punished by death. Do you see why now, Son?
KH: It seems harsh, but yes, Lord, I see more and more that Your law would make for a great society. What tools are you trying to give me through this prison time, Lord?
GOD: Well, Son, many people will live through the tribulation time that is soon to come on the earth. I will need My children to help Me rule them. Some will rule over 5 cities and some over 10 (Matthew 25:14-30). Even though Satan will be bound the entire 1,000 years (Rev. 20), the ones who lived through into the millennium will still have a wicked nature. That’s why I will need (and use) the rod of iron (Mt. 5:5, 10, 12, 20; 6:10, 19). Those faithful ones that I choose to rule and reign with Me will need lots of “tools” to deal with them like love, joy, peace, gentleness, etc. I wrote a whole book about the tools My children are supposed to be collecting.
KH: Oh, Lord, if I have to learn and master how to use all of those, I’ll never make it!
GOD: That’s right, Son. On your own, you won’t. But 40 years ago I began a work in you to transform you and renew your mind (Rom. 12:2) and make you into what I want you to be. I always finish what I start, son (Phil 1:6).
KH: What tools do I still need, Lord?
GOD: I’m keeping a list of what tools you have and which ones you still need. I know one of your desires (Ps. 37:4) is to have 1,000 acres for an awesome Creation Camp and Dinosaur Adventure Land. What do you think if I restored the earth like it used to be and you have live, friendly dinosaurs to use to teach people about My creation at your camp?
KH: Wow! That would be cool! Why just 1,000 years, Lord?
GOD: Even with Satan gone the whole time there will still be enough rebels when he is released for a little season that he will gather an army to come against me (Rev. 20:3-10). It is sad, but it will demonstrate to the world that I am just and fair in all My judgments. Then all My children get to see the new Heaven and the new earth (Isa. 65; II Pet. 3; Rev 21). Your little brain won’t hold that one yet.
KH: I can’t wait! Am I getting close to getting the tools I need to go home, Lord?
GOD: Well, let’s just say you can’t walk on water yet. Ha! You’ll be fine, Son. I’m watching every detail. Go read a book. I’ve got your back.

From the CSE team,
Thank you for your continued support.
I live to read these letters.
I pray for Dr. Hovind and his wife each day. May God be with them.
God bless.
Brother Kent,
Just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers almost daily in the midst of my own storms. Bless you brother. Come Lord Jesus!
We have been studying Joshua in a church Bible study. The battles were won by the Lord; Joshua’s men were just the sword wielders. I am reminded that your battle and ours will be won the same way. Thanks for the sword wielding lessons! The Jaggers Family
It is amazing how blessed I am every time I read these Knee Mails. Dr. Hovind, you have such an amazing insight and I marvel at the wonderful understanding and insight He’s given you into His word. Our Father is still using you in His work, even though the world has tried to silence you. I am praying whole heartedly for you and your wife, brother. By the way, you did well teaching your sons as your earthly father taught you.
I am sure it is hard to keep your head up now! You show such faith and strength. We pray for you and yours every day. I even sent you a letter and you wrote me back! You are one of my personal heroes. I just wanted to write and tell you that I think maybe the tribulation has begun! A seven year peace treaty was made with Israel for the first time in history. It is called the ENPI. You may want to look into it………

Hi Kent,
Revelation 20:1-3 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (2) And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, (3) And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
I find it interesting that during the year 2000 there were two time casuals created, one in Britain and one in America. Each time capsule is destined to have a life span of 1000 years. (there may be others but I only know about these two)
The New York Times Capsule now housed at the American Museum of Natural History.
http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/timescapsule/contents.html
And a 100 cubic metre airtight vault located in the side of a hill in the grounds of Guildford Castle.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/687732.stm
I can’t help but associate these capsules with the verse you refer to in your Kneemail above Revelation 20:1-3.
My belief is that Jesus’ 1000 year reign or 1000 year Sabbath is about to start soon (the world is approximately 6000 years old and 1000 years is like a day in the eyes of God (2Peter 3:8) so the next thousand years is the seventh day).
Revelation 20:1-3 says that Satan will be bound up (thus giving us rest) for a thousand years. After this time he will be released for a time. These time capsules contain a vast array of information deceptions all presented in the form of a greeting card saying “hello do you remember me I was very popular 1000 years ago).
The American Museum of Natural History gives a very brief summary of what is contained in their capsule. Even then it is quite long for this blog;
I find contained therein particularly interesting the many Bible perversions & the subtle (or blunt if one is looking for it) interest/information on cloning.
Satan has worked hard for 6000 years in order to create a world of deception, he doesn’t want to start all over again after the Sabbath.
Lots of Love
