His Life as Moses:

I AM MOSES

Over the years, many have called him “Moses.” It began with his former manager, Boyd Grafmyre, who once referred to him as “the Moses of the Music Industry.” Since then, countless others have echoed the sentiment. He doesn’t claim to be the reincarnation of the biblical figure, but when one looks closely at the path he’s walked, the comparisons are hard to ignore.

A Life Devoted to Ministry

He began ministering through music at just 17, but his spiritual journey started even earlier. From a young age, he was known for speaking boldly about the Word of God—so much so that anyone who spent more than a few minutes with him would hear about scripture. It wasn’t a performance. It was simply who he was.

In 1992, he scribbled a poem onto a humble bookmark—never expecting it to become a phenomenon. But it was printed and distributed over a million times. That simple poem became a vessel for a message much larger than himself.

From Genesis to Exodus: The Albums

In 1995, he became the first recording artist to write consecutive albums based on the Book of Genesis and the Book of Exodus. These works weren’t just inspired by scripture—they were woven with revelation, devotion, and deep insight. Like Moses, who was known for song and prophecy, he used music as a vehicle to deliver divine messages.

A Musical Calling: Songs of the Wilderness

Music has always been more than melody for him—it has been a sacred vessel for truth, prophecy, and spiritual awakening. Since his earliest recordings, many listeners have remarked that his music carries a weight and wisdom that feels ancient, as though written by someone who had been there. There’s a quality in the lyrics, a spiritual resonance in the tone, that suggests the hand of a witness—not just an artist.

His discography is marked by deep, scriptural storytelling. From “The Song of Moses” on the album Waters Edge, to “Wait for You” from the reflective and raw 40 Years of Wondering, his work maps a journey not just of biblical proportions, but of personal transformation. Each lyric, each note, seems to carry echoes of the desert, the mountain, and the riverbanks of both ancient Israel and modern-day heartbreak.

Then came “The Last Song of Moses”, written and finished the same day his former manager Boyd Grafmyre—who first called him “the Moses of the Music Industry”—passed away. To those who have followed his story closely, the timing wasn’t just poetic. It was prophetic. A final song. A final goodbye. A full circle moment that no human could orchestrate.

This mysterious alignment only deepened the belief among his fans and followers that his music is more than art—it’s a message. A calling. A chronicle from the edge of something eternal.

Monuments in Stone

In the early 2000s, he began crafting Ten Commandments monuments—hand-carved from stone by Muslim artisans from Uzbekistan. It was more than a project; it was a physical representation of his commitment to preserving truth. These monuments stood as a testimony to faith, transcending cultures and religions.

The Name: Malachi

He began his writing under the name Malachi, meaning “the messenger.” In all Abrahamic traditions, Moses is revered as a divine messenger. The parallels were clear—not only in name but in mission.

The Waters of Baptism

There’s a recurring thread that runs through everything he’s written: baptism. For him, it’s not just a ritual—it’s a theme, a calling. And like Moses, whose very name means “drawn from water,” he sees deliverance and identity flowing from baptismal waters.

He attributes his deep understanding of scripture to his mother, who read the Bible aloud every day while pregnant with him. That spiritual foundation, he believes, gave him a uniquely tuned heart to the Word. Fittingly, his mother’s water broke four weeks before his birth—another watery signpost along his journey.

Wilderness Years

Until the age of 40, his life seemed charmed. He found success in both music and business, owned several homes, and lived what many would call a dream. Then, in a dramatic shift, everything was lost. He went from comfort to crisis—living in a storage unit until he was eventually forced out.

But, as with Moses in the wilderness, the lowest valley was not the end of the road. Slowly, steadily, he climbed back. Today, he lives on a ranch—not quite tending sheep, but still very much a shepherd in his own way.

Prophecies and Promises

Throughout his life, he has delivered detailed prophetic insights—many of which have come to pass. He accurately foretold the deaths of Billy Graham and Queen Elizabeth, as well as the COVID-19 lockdowns. Those who’ve known him longest aren’t surprised; they’ve always seen something prophetic in him.

The Fire of Moses

There’s one more trait he shares with Moses—his temper. Moses, after all, struck the rock in frustration. Likewise, he admits to having a fire inside him, especially when confronting injustice or hypocrisy. But even that, he believes, is part of the calling.

The Return of Moses: A Vision for the Screen

In 2024, his journey took a bold new form when he wrote a feature-length screenplay titled The Return of Moses. The script, set in modern times, explores the idea that Moses never actually died. According to the story, Moses was taken—just as Scripture hints—to become the hidden caretaker of the Garden of Eden. For centuries, he remained there in silence, guarding what was left of paradise.

But everything changes when a young boy, while fishing, stumbles upon the Garden. This accidental discovery sets into motion a prophetic chain of events, triggering the final chapters of human history. Moses, forced to leave his post for the first time in millennia, re-enters a broken world not unlike the one he once led through the desert.

The story echoes ancient prophecy while drawing on the account of the Mount of Transfiguration—where Moses once met with Jesus face-to-face. In the film, that meeting becomes a foreshadowing of his ultimate role in preparing the way for Christ’s return.

The script has already generated quiet buzz among those who have read it, and he is currently seeking a production partner who sees the vision and is willing to help bring this last-days epic to life on screen.

The Staff and the Walk

Beyond his creative and spiritual parallels to Moses, there’s also the visible one: he walks with a staff. Not just as a symbol, but out of necessity. Years of pain, multiple back surgeries, and a fully fused lower spine have made the staff a constant companion. But what might look like a limitation to some has become a visible sign of identity. Much like the original Moses, whose staff parted seas and struck stone, his staff serves as both support and symbol—one that reflects resilience, humility, and divine assignment.

It’s hard to ignore the visual poetry of it all. A modern man with a prophet’s name, carrying a prophet’s staff, walking through the wilderness of the 21st century—still proclaiming freedom, still preparing the way.

Is He Moses?

Of course not, he says. He doesn’t claim to be. But when viewed through the lens of faith, the life he’s lived bears unmistakable echoes of the great deliverer. The music, the messages, the miracles—and even the missteps—have all aligned into a story that could only be authored by a higher hand.

So no, he’s not Moses. But his life? It’s a reminder that God is still writing stories—still sending messengers.
