ABC'S 20/20 MOVES SWIFTLY WITH HUMAN RIGHTS STORY ON DAVIDSON AND OTHERS
If you have been watching the case of Timothy DavidSon,
you may know that ABC is working on a 20/20 program that plans to feature his case along with others across the nation as Human Rights eye-openers. Producer Eric Hanan is in contact with the DavidSons daily since last week (12/13/07), and is becoming more familiar with the topic as a human rights issue. In his words, "I'm really sinking my teeth into the story." Timothy is the A3CEES liaison with the network at this time. Tuesday, Hanan reported that he'll arrive the first week of January or shortly thereafter.
What began five years ago as a nightmarish court decision became sinister and more demonic this past October when a vigilante campaign ignited a series of public activities against Timothy DavidSon (click here for Incredible Story of Biblical Proportions continued, Word required). |

Timothy DavidSon developed his first on-line course for persons encountering issues involving the law. The course is a study in Biblical personalities who experienced imprisonment. It helps the student understand important principles to employ as in the lives of Joseph, Daniel, the Hebrew Boys, Peter and Paul to name a few. This will be available by the New Year.

DAVIDSON'S MENTOR AND CO-FOUNDER PASSES TORCH
 Scholarly, theological, eloquent, articulate, and profound are the descriptive characteristics of Dr. Joseph N. Patterson. Patterson's earthly race was concluded officially last month (November). Arriving from New Jersey to Oakland, California in the 1970s, Patterson's delivery from the pulpit was uniquely different. Most of his contemporaries from the south in California preferred a more down-home style with the rhythmic "hooping" to conclude a sermon. Patterson was clearly more oratorical, intellectual, and well-designed. Patterson with a Master of Divinity from New Brunswick Seminary was one of the nation's first African-American pastors to graduate from seminary with a doctorate in Family Counseling. Patterson, almost thirty-years older than DavidSon taught him invaluable insights about Biblical analysis and sermon preparation among other advantages. "I was oblivious to any kind of counseling discipline until I met 'Pat.' He is where the counseling emphasis started." DavidSon celebrating his thirtieth year preaching, delivered his first message in December of 1977 at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Oakland, California where he was licensed by Patterson. After years apart, Patterson would reunite with DavidSon in 1993 to launch what you know as the National Association of Christ-based Counselors. If you ever heard Patterson and you hear Dr. DavidSon preach or speak publicly, do not close your eyes. They are practically indistinguishable. It would be obvious, the torch has passed. (Patterson seen above on opening day of office for NACCBC and below at faculty dinner of College of Professional Christian Studies with wife Erica).

AN APOCALYPTIC AND SPELL-BINDING REVELATION???
 Dr. DavidSon is sleeping. The early hours of December 14, he awakes and on his mind are all of the events of the last thirty years concerning ministry. He particularly thought of the last five years, beginning with his son's case. Among many thoughts, he was amazed by how everything is like an extraordinary design coming together to tie so many loose ends (Romans 8:28-29). He begins to understand the picture better as he calls upon God to guide him. He considers his local and national standing, which is very unique for any person in ministry and particularly one who does not pastor a church. He considered mental scenes of his speech at the state capitol in Ohio including police and state troopers in a freezing and hostile setting. He ponders his son's jailing, courage in Christ, and phenomenal spiritual growth. This, they never would have known if it were not for the crisis Timothy has endured. Dr. DavidSon recalled world events indicating the conclusion of the Age. He thought of their names, Timothy - honoring God. Dr. DavidSon picked the name for Timothy from Scripture. Dr. DavidSon thought about his name, Steven. When he was born, his parents expected a girl. They were not prepared with a boy's name. A nurse suggested the name. Steven - means the crown. DavidSon continued thinking. He thought about his last name, DavidSon - a direct bearing on David's sons, or son of David. He thought to himself, you can't get anymore New Testament than Timothy and Steven. You cannot get anymore Old Testament than DavidSon.
Then suddenly the horrifying and ridiculous thought, "You are the two prophets." DavidSon literally fell out of the bed weeping almost as if to hide. His wife awoke asking him what was wrong. He rushed to his Biblical study tools, and he opened the most profound of eschatological books by Dwight Pentecost of Dallas Theological Seminary. Like a DNA test, DavidSon was attempting to eliminate himself. Revelation, Chapter 11 is where the two prophets appear. There's a great deal of speculation about who they are, and where they are from, but no one knows. As with the anti-Christ, there are a number of persons who believe that they are currently on the earth. If anyone has solid Biblical support for where these prophets are from, or who they are Dr. DavidSon would love your information. Dr. Huey president of the CollegePlex shared with Dr. DavidSon, "Doc, you know the prophets were not pastors in the sense of having direct shepherding responsibility for the people. I can't eliminate you."
Finally, not only is their lives and names filled with irony and training equipped for persecution against a lawless government, but its possible one or both could be seen by millions for the first time. Oh, and don't forget, they are also a father-and-son. What a series of ironies and coincidences. This is what happens when we allow are imaginations to run wild. . | |

A3CEES' LEGAL SUPPORT
A3CEES has identified two wonderful attorneys. Dr. DavidSon calls Crystal Carodine an angel. She worked tirelessly on Timothy's case. Crystal is a graduate of Southern in Lousiana. She worked as an assistant district attorney in Denton, County before beginning her own practice. Crystal's focus is family and criminal law at this time. She's currently a member of Friendship West in Dallas where Freddie Haynes is pastor. She's teaching a course at the church entitled, The Not-So Bad Women of the Bible.
.
Dr. DavidSon also initiated services with Sabrina Menck. Sabrina also has her own law practices. Her focus is contract and business law. Sabrina is also a graduate of Southwest Seminary in Fort-Worth. Along with her husband and children, they attend Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas where Pastor Ed Young Jr. leads the congregation. Working with attorneys who have a deep and abiding relationship with Jesus Christ is a must!
