Belew sampled some phrases from one of his sermons on one of the tracks on one of his late 80's solo records.
Now here's the thing: Prophet Omega apparently did his show from the "Peaceway Temple" which was located at "Apartment Q-258 at 488 Lemont Drive". I'm gonna take a shot in the dark, and guess this isn't a coincidence, and Sipe was a fan of Prophet Omega, and took the name as some kind of tribute.
