Dear readers of The Omega Report,

I wanted to take the time to sit down and write you all, as I have you dear in my heart. The time I spent writing on the topics of Christian eschatology and preparedness for the days ahead were some of the best and worst of days. I remember over the last year hurriedly taking steps to prepare my family for the uncertain days ahead. God was stretching me in many ways, spiritually, family-wise, financially, etc. and in many ways we are still being stretched. My family has gone through a lot of transition and we have just recently been able to get financially stabilized as I am starting a job next week, God willing.

The last 2 years though, regardless of the difficulties, has also been the best of times. God called me in a time in my life when I was in a place of self destruction. He then led me through years of legalism in a certain denomination context, and then through that allowed me to get buried up to my head in an addiction that nearly cost me my life. However, through that I also learned the grace of God and the power of transformation that comes through knowing and accepting one’s identity in Christ. This pursuit of transformation and grace eventually led me out of the legalisms of my past and eventually out of the personal moral legalisms I held myself personally to. It has only been over the last 3 years where I can say I have truly learned how to walk with God, hear his voice, and do his will in a way where it is not my own fleshly efforts trying to accomplish his divine purposes, but his Holy Spirit working and leading within me. This has truly been life-changing for myself and my wife.

Things really came to a head in December when it became clear to me that I would never be able to serve in the kind of ministry context I was in, due to the fact that my views had changed so drastically from what they traditionally had been. Grace and God’s love filled my teaching, as well as showing people HOW to live holy lives through knowing their identity in Christ, not just tell them they had to go and live holy lives. I was asked to leave ministry at my church in December 2009, and have been looking for some kind of work ever sense, again starting one next week.

So why has it been so hard for me to find another ministry within the denomination I had been a part of? Because I refused to not be honest about who I am, what I believe, and where God has brought me in my journey of faith. The plain fact of the matter is, I am a former addict, former legalist, who now preaches grace and holiness without performance.

I say all this to say, that the Spirit has convicted me to not only be transparent in all these facets of my life, but to also be transparent with those who were the readers of The Omega Report. On the site, I mentioned that I began my Christian faith with a belief in Amellinalism, which later changed due to things that God was showing me through scripture and through other’s teaching. Any other teaching in my denomination would be cause for automatic dismissal, or of being labeled as a person in error. When God began to press upon my heart to write articles concerning his Son’s second coming (as I do still believe he is VERY near), I started The Omega Report writing under a pseudo name-as I wanted to not only protect my family’s privacy, but I was also still living with some residual fear about letting others in my circle of influence know the real me, and to some extent I am still afraid-just where I am in God’s process of working with me. But as I said to myself and my wife when I began looking at ministry again, I told her that I would never again where a mask, and that I would never again hide behind the fleshly attempts to create an identity for other people that is contrary to the identity that I have in Christ.

Duncan Conner, was my pseudo name. So let me introduce myself formally. My name is Tim Brown. I reside in TN and have a beautiful family of 5 (just had our third son!). I decided to continue writing, now especially sense I will be working again and hopefully will have more time. But another reason why I plan to continue writing is because as I mentioned earlier, God has been doing some amazing things in me that have led me to the conviction that my role in these lasts times is yes, to help people understand the Lord’s second coming, but so many more people are far more gifted than I am in that area. I have come to the conviction that God has called me to help set the captives free-to use my life as one who was hopelessly addicted to show others how to be free, and in general to help who the church and teach the church who they really are in Christ. This is the focus on that new web site that I mentioned in my last post on The Omega Report.

My new site is called www.timothybrownministries.com I just started it last week and I do plan to import all of my articles over from the old site to the new site. I still plan to keep The Omega Report up and going for you to use the articles and information as you wish. But any new material will be posted on the new site, and also I will be writing and focusing my attention on issues with regard to how we are to walk and how to walk in the Spirit in these last days-a much more compelling (if you ask me) and encouraging theme, that a lot of the craziness that we see in the world around us. The fact is this: If we don’t know who we are in Christ, then regardless of how much information we possess about the end times, we will still not be as effective as we could be, had we walked in the Spirit and accomplished the things that God wants us to accomplish in the intervening time between now and his second coming. I hope that the new site will be an extended and expanded section on Spiritual Preparation.

I pray that my writing under a pseudo-name does not offend anyone. I assure you it was partly about fear, and partly about privacy. But now I know that I do not need to hide behind any masks. I plan to keep any who were on the mailing list still on the mailing list. But if you decide you want to opt out, then when you get the e-mail, you may do so there. If I don’t hear from you, then I will assume we can still continue our adventures in the word of Christ together, and I look forward to getting to know you better, as you get to know me (the real me) better.

May God bless you richly and may he continually supply you with all knowledge and grace as you walk worthily in him.

In Christ,

Tim Brown (aka, Duncan Conner)

P.S., I mentioned that my wife and I just had our third son. We named him Connor…  Look forward to hearing from you.

A Final Message From Duncan Conner

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

A couple of months ago I came to you to let you know that I had lost my job and that I would be focusing all of my energies on seeking employment in order to provide security for my family of 5. I began limiting the amount of extra work and volunteer work that I was doing and as a result I decided to not update The Omega Report as far as writing and posting new articles, and to keep posting news related to prophecy daily. I wanted to take a moment to update you on the situation and to let you know about the future of The Omega Report.

I have been tirelessly looking for work for 2 months now, and though I am currently following up on about 4 leads, I am still unemployed. The financial stress in our family is rising and I am at a point now where I am going to have to go out there and literally grab anything-though it may not pay all our bills. I am still praying that something will come through but have accepted the fact that God has his plans and that his processes are not always those that we would normally choose for ourselves. They are nevertheless his and are always best.

Having said that, it is with great sorrow that I am now going to have to step away from this ministry. I have tried to make time to produce new articles and provide new insights for the study of Bible prophecy and it has became apparent that I am no longer going to be able to do this. So looking to the new year, my intent is to cease updating the web site and adding new articles and news. I will leave all the information that is on there now currently, at least through to the beginning of the new year, and then sometime next year I will shut down the web site. Personally I would not like to see The Omega Report go away completely. If there are any out there who would like to get in the driver’s seat, I would love to work with you and hand it over to allow it to keep going.

Your kind words, insights, prayers, and friendship have been wonderful. I have loved interacting with you and learning from you, and look forward to continuing on in the relationships that I have formed in this ministry.

I know that many of you enjoyed the unique articles and news items that we posted on the site, so I would like to give you a few links to help you continue seeking out this kinds of information.

For news I scoured the web and hit all the main news sites like CNN.com, Fox News, etc. I found the Drudge Report to be very helpful, as well as various prophecy news web sites that are easily found by Google. A particularly helpful web site is also http://www.prophecyupdate.com/ You can also set news alerts through Google if you want that will send you news alerts for certain keywords like “Bible prophecy,” “Gog and Magog,” etc.

Also, please copy down all the sites that I have listed in my SOFL links section. A lot of the articles that I deemed the best of the best came from reading these others sites.

As far as the financial information, etc. is concerned here are some of the sites that I frequent:

Glenn Beck
http://www.glennbeck.com

Harry S. Dent
http://www.hsdent.com/

Stan Deyo
http://www.standeyo.com

Jerome Corsi

Walter Zimmerman

Gerald Celente

Peter Schiff

Survival Information

I hope that these resources will be helpful for you. I wish you all the best in the days and years to come. I don’t know what will happen with America, the economy, whether these are the last of the last days or not. But I know who holds the day and who will care for us. Study the word, live godly, be ever ready for the appearing of our lord. Continue to prepare as best as you can, and live for Christ to the greatest of your ability. Until then…God bless you all.

In Christ,

Duncan Conner
