Prelude to Prophecies Foreword The following chapters give information which is necessary to give the reader a working knowledge in order to better understand that which follows without unnecessary interruptions or breaks in the natural flow of the material. That which shall follow will seem as if it is a story being told. It will tie all of the necessary elements together and produce the specifics, by providing "markers" according to the course of order. Since dates are not applicable, in that all things correspond to the consciousness of man, it is necessary that prophecies be identified by "event markers", so they may serve as a warning to those who "hear" and "see". Each individual interacts with the world about himself as he makes choices, and thus each individual plots the course of his own destiny, creates his own life. It is the same for nations. It is the same for the world. Thus, an individual plots his path according to his consciousness, his awareness; and the more aware an individual is of God's Will, of the Divine Will, the more easily he can make choices that allow a greater, grander, more prosperous destiny. The same is true for a city, a county, a state, a province, a kingdom, a country, a world! There are repetitions. They are intentional, to tie various bits of the work together according to elements of occurrences, that they may be recognized, and the order of events comprehended and acted upon in a positive manner for the benefit of mankind. Thus the events are delineated by, not time, but markers of occurrences, events. That which We deliver to you is meant to be clearly understood. Many prophecies have been given in the past, but were obscured because it was not the time of their fulfillment. For it has been often that even prophets could not understand, nor comprehend, the prophecies that they uttered, because the prophecies were not within the framework of the reality in which the ancient prophets lived. This can be clearly seen as the ancient Prophet Daniel was not allowed to have, nor was given full understanding of the prophecies that he was given to record. It most certainly is true that John, the Revelator beheld images and visions that were totally alien within his realm of knowledge and experience. The time of fulfillment for many prophecies of old, and of current, is at-hand. Therefore, We speak in a direct manner. Many of the ancient prophecies We now clarify; and those prophecies which are presently spoken, are spoken in such a manner as to be easily comprehended. Such an easy comprehension should allow due warning to be received by all individuals and should allow each individual to make an intelligent choice. Thus being empowered and enabled to interact with the events of the present and the near future, We reiterate once more that it is important for man to understand that the way in which man interacts with prophecies can have a drastic effect upon the severity and mode of fulfillment - if ever indeed such must even come to pass. Positive interaction with the events of the present ultimately improves the future.
