"We find in Pauls writing in II Corinthians 12:2 that he knew a man caught up into the millenia. This man was supposed to have heard things. Yes, I am that man that Paul saw. You have to understand that through many lifetimes, you learn. Yes, I lived during Pauls time."
"I have told you before that I will live a few more years and then come back. I will find a nice couple to raise me and in twenty five years I will be in Washington D.C. kicking butt, getting this job done. There are a lot of people asking, 'When you die who is going to take over?'. Oh, they are standing in line. This is why I have to get these ideas out before I leave."
"I just received a message this morning from the Internet that I had won two awards this week because of the message I had in the last paper. People are saying it was great. Some did not understand it all, but they all wanted to know more."
"My whole life and soul has been given up for this book. It is so controversial that someone might kill me over it but, I say, so be it! It is about all that I have ever learned that will help teach people about a new order of life, so get this book. Nothing that I have ever done can be compared to in this book. If this book doesn't make you mad it will make you glad. If it doesn't do either one, go see a doctor!!"
"I want you to see how I, Kirby J. Hensley, separate myself from these men we have been talking about throughout the Bible. I would like to start at the top. Stay with me and hear me out. A grandma went with her son to the graduation of her grandson in the Army. While they were standing in line watching, her grandson came marching by and she said 'See there, look, they are all out of step, my boy, my grandson is the only one in step!'."
"Do you remember in this same message a few pages back I told you about a grandma and her grandson going to his graduation? Now I want to tell you a little bit more about that message. I feel I am that grandson."
"My wife thought for sure I'd get hooked on drugs in the late fifties and early sixties, beacuse I was going to universities and speaking, about religion and politics. As time went on it was almost like going to school. I started listening to Phil Donahue. When I first started listening to him he was the most liberal man I knew. He was speaking out on liberal ideas. I was on his show, but I was too liberal even for Donahue. I listened to him for several years, and I did learn a thing or two from him. I listened to many other speakers and commentator, talk show hosts. I think I learned more about the real world when watching, and listening to the animal world, and how much alike we are."
"Now, I know that there has to be a leader in front of all mankind. I do believe I am that leader. How does a stud-horse become a leader of a herd? He fights to get to the top from the time he is a colt. All the way up. I have fought the church and the system as far back as I can remember. I did not try to destroy them but to show them that they were not what they claimed to be."
