Chapter 3. The Prophets
CHAPTER 3
THE PROPHETS
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who "spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began." (St. Luke 1:70).
The Prophets went before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; to give light to them that sat in darkness and in the shadow of death; to guide their feet into the way of peace.
There have always been prophets and there always will be prophets; they are with us today. Wordsworth said: "Mighty Prophet! Seer blest, On whom those truths do rest, Which we are toiling all our lives to find."
In Old Testament times there were orders or bands of prophets, called schools of the prophets. In New Testament times Christian prophets constituted an order ranking next to that of apostle. The Moslems had Mohammed, the Mormons had Joseph Smith and the Christian Scientists had Mary Baker Eddy. Those who are discerning the signs of God and are telling the people of what the future holds are still exercising the office of Prophet.
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi were prophets along with others during the Old Testament days. Of course, Isaiah and Ezekiel seem to have had more direct contact with
space intelligences than any of the others. Many of their writings are no longer available, such as "The Acts of Uzziah" written by Isaiah. (See II Chronicles 26:22).
Chapter Six of Isaiah was referred to in Maldek And Malona, showing us that this prophet was visited by space intelligences and thereby received his information for prophecy. Isaiah, himself, was a "Wanderer", a "Son of Light". To show that he knew of extraterrestrial visitation to Earth, he wrote:
"Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth." (Isaiah 40:26).
David had said: "He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names." (Psalms 147:4).
Isaiah wasn't referring to things or stars alone, and he didn't mean the light they gave off in the heavens. By "host" he meant the intelligences that were coming earthward from the heavenly bodies.
Isaiah's prophecy in Chapter Five could easily refer to the present time as well as it did the prophet's time. The vineyard and the wild grapes therein symbolizes our world of today and its people. In one of the new editions of the Bible, the following verses are omitted. Chapter Five ends with verse twenty-five. Why were these verses taken out after all these years?
"And he will lift up an ensign to the nations
from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly: None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken: Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind: Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it. And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow (distress), and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof (when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof). (Isaiah 5:26-30).
The space friends have "wheels like whirlwinds", their "arrows (truth) are sharp", they "come with speed swiftly", and they shall "lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe".
Ezekiel had his encounter with space craft many years after Isaiah in 595 B.C. He gets off to a grand start in Chapter One giving us a perfect description of Flying Saucers, their landing, and their occupants getting out. Although the entire verses being transposed and generally mixed up, we can obtain a comprehensive view of the situation by careful reading and proper correlation. Remember that Ezekiel had no mechanical contrivances with which to make comparisons and he was therefore compelled to use
