Page 3 of the Purple Journal feels much like the many scrap pages in my own journals; where I have jotted down a phone number and then absently doodled and written notes to myself as I listened to the phone ringing. It has what appear to be two phone numbers, “5?? 7?59 BK Sherry” and “546-?5?9 Home”.

Then there is a series of 7 upright Y-shaped figures, possibly representing cuneiform. Below that row, the Y-shapes have fallen on their sides and, like umbrellas blown inside-out in the wind, have become arrows pointing to the underlined phrase “The Sons of King Anu wanted to go home also”.
An example of cuneiform counting marks
“King Anu” probably refers to the Sumerian Anu, a sky-god who, with his sister-consort, created the world. This creation myth is sometimes linked to the original Hebrew version of the Genesis story. Finding this mention of Anu has explicated a great deal of Rev. Jerry’s beliefs: he has been heavily influenced by Zecharia Sitchin, the author of The Twelfth Planet and other texts that confuse historic and scientific information with religious beliefs to form a new cult belief system.
From Wikipedia.com:
Zecharia Sitchin (January 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010) was an Azeri-born American author of books promoting an explanation for human origins involving ancient astronauts. Sitchin attributes the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Anunnaki, which he states was a race of extra-terrestrials from a planet beyond Neptune called Nibiru. He believed this hypothetical planet of Nibiru to be in an elongated, elliptical orbit in the Earth’s own Solar System, asserting that Sumerian mythology reflects this view.
I do not know much about Sitchin’s belief system, I am only familiar enough with its basics to recognize the similarities between it and Rev. Jerry’s obsession with space, gold, Hebrew, and cuneiform-like figures. I look forward to acquiring his books to help me understand Rev. Jerry more fully. I also hope to find someone in a 12th Planet community to help explain some of Rev. Jerry’s more cryptic references.

I feel like this is a major breakthrough in my understanding of Rev. Jerry’s world!
