Overview

Forsooth a dragon cometh too; a kind of wisdom to tally true, two teenage boys in Wisconsin wrote onto a page of song lyrics in 1992, unaware the words sounded like several verses of Book of Isaiah, Chapter 34. Eighteen years later, Rolling 30's Harlem Crips gang member Darius Gant, with a dragon tattoo on his arm, shot 8 bullets into an innocent bystander near downtown Los Angeles to exact a vendetta as part of a gang war with neighboring gang the fruit town brims. One of those two Wisconsin kids, David Bilskemper, later (and right before his name change to last name Black) became a jury member on Mr. Gant's attempted murder case- a trial involving an epic, malicious showdown of language between two startlingly different female attorneys and witness testimony from a shooting victim who almost certainly should have died. This is his story- a true crime personal memoir book rivaling Blood Will Out by Walter Kirn and in a similar stylistic genre as My Story by Elizabeth Smart with Chris Stewart. Previously presented as two separate books, now both parts are available here in one volume- the trial where Mr. Black was a juror, and the woeful aftermath stretching out for years. As events after the case paralleled Isaiah chapter 34 at a personal level, and only partially, there did come a year of recompense for the cause of Zion, (Isaiah 34:8) but also a personal situation so highly variable and uncertain, that there could have been said to have been no one certain practical answer in reality- with the whole procession of events marked by extraordinary phenomenon and astronomical events. The answer that the narrator of the story posits as a viable way when so many other things fall through or fall short of expectations, is in the Lord Jesus, the church, The Scriptures, and the things of God trustworthy over time, and long-lasting over generations. The personal prophetic utterance involved ( Black Sheep Rise of The Autumn People) mirrors the Biblical prophecy in Isaiah 34, so that it can be said that the Biblical fulfillment involved is cushioned by personal fulfillment of personal prophecy which is one that mirrors Isaiah 34 vaguely or as if through a glass dimly. Isaiah chapter 34 happens to be partially past fulfilled prophecy/history and is partial future prophecy in terms of judgment upon the enemies of God's people- those who intend to destroy the church. At the end of all these things it was anticipated that - There shall meet also Ziim and Iim, and the Satyr shall cry to his fellow, and the screech owl shall rest there, and shall find for herself a quiet dwelling (Isaiah 34:14, 1599 Geneva Bible). Thus, the parties who before had good relations, but had been separated and torn apart would finally convene back together in a legal matter intended to settle legal concerns which had their beginnings in the Gant case. Mr. Black has survived to give this account through times described where death seemed certain, and so glory be to the Lord God in the highest. Praise God that this testimony of survival to the glory of God could be given.
