Hello Eli. Glad to have you on my blog. Introduce yourself and then I will ask some questions.

Good to be here, Rhonda. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my book with a wider audience.

When did you start your love of writing?

My love of writing began in my early 20s (during the 1980s) when I started writing poetry. I got published in a few notable journals, which gave me confidence to pursue writing. Later, in college, I began writing technical papers that ended up in respected journals and magazines. That’s when I knew I had a knack for it, and I haven’t stopped since.

What are you wanting your readers to know about you and your books?

The primary purpose of my writing is to educate the reader about the Biblical Christ, and to expound the Biblical prophecies concerning the end-times. The book itself is based on a twenty-year study. I am also fluent in Koine Greek, the language in which the New Testament was originally written. So, I want to instill confidence in my readers that the information they’re getting is from a reliable source. I also have a blog, which serves as a follow-up to my book, in which I furnish additional evidence concerning the aforementioned topics. If you plan to read the book, it is highly recommended that you follow the blog: https://eli-kittim.tumblr.com

What is your favorite scripture in the bible and Why?

My favorite scripture in the Bible is, without question, Hebrews Chapter 9 verse 26. There are many like it (e.g. 1 Pet. 1.20), but this extraordinary revelation contains information that is not found anywhere else in the Bible. For example, it explicitly mentions the precise timing of Christ’s sacrifice for the remission of sins, which is astounding! The reason why this verse is so important is that it challenges our traditional notions of the Biblical Christ and exhorts us to revisit the theology of the gospels.

Who is your favorite book author and why?

My favorite author is Arnold Fruchtenbaum, whose book—-“The Footsteps of the Messiah”—-inspired me to study Bible prophecy. He’s a terrific Bible scholar and one of the most insightful authors of our time in Biblical eschatology (i.e. the study of the end-times).

What inspires you to write?

I had a religious experience back in 1992 that turned my world upside down. Essentially, it comprised a revelation regarding Jesus’ divinity. It showed me there is hope for humanity, and sparked my passion for writing, and for exploring the spiritual aspects of human experience.
