Michael stood up again and clapped his hands loudly onceand slowly rubbed them together to get their attention.
"It is time to start laying down for posterity, some gold nuggets for man to dig for.
I am of course talking about the prophecies.
Every face in the hall turned eagerly in anticipation towards Michael, some craning their necks to hear better.
This first prophecy wont be understood very well, until the future events reveal its true fulfiment, but its going to be included right at the beginning of the scriptures".
"Therefore I will put emnity between you and the women, and also between your seed and her seed.
He will crush your head, while you will only bruise him in the heel".
"Servants of the Most High, this is our first prophecy designated to Genesis 3:15, in our first book of scripture and fittingly it predicts the eventual downfall and destrucyion of the forces of darkness.
But it does show we shall suffer setbacks, great setbacks and hurt indeed at times, but that we will nevertheless ultimately prevail, this is our supreme promise".
There were wild cheers from the angel servants.
"But before that, Michael continued and tried to shout over the noise now in the hall, we must first identify the opposition for man, in scripture.
He will be called, just as we call him now, Satan, the deceiver.
He told Eve in the Eden garden, that she would definitely not die, if she chose indepedence,and yet she died. Therefore we shall depict him as a snake.
He wont like that, no, he wont like that one bit", Michael said as he looked deep down in his own
thoughts.
Gabriel brough his mind back, when he leaned over and whispered into his ear a bit loudly"what about the Lords name prophecy"?
"Yes, Michael retorted. The Most High wishes you all to know, that in view of the ongoing battle or contention over sovereignty in which we are engaged in, he feels that his most Holy name , which is used only on the most formal Temple occasions and audiences, JEHOVAH, be used from now on in any communications with mankind, to identify the special meaning his name brings. Jehovah, which means,
I AM, WHO I AM or I SHALL PROVE TO BE, WHO I SHALL PROVE TO BE.
Write this in as well.
"By this very name I shall be remembered for ever", designate Exodus 3:14 to 16, for this prophecy".
Gabriel now took over and stood up, as Michael seated himself down and had nodded to him.
"I have the next prophecy", he confidently informed the hall.
"I am Jehovah, and I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob , as El Shaddai (God almighty), but as respects my name JEHOVAH, I did not make my self known, to them, designate Exodus 6:2 to 4.
And again state this,
The purpose of using his powers in Egypt, was to have his name proclaimed throughout the world and on every one lips".
Gabriel remained standing there blissfully unaware for a while that the listening angels were still waiting for the designated scriptural reference.
Er, wait here it is no ive got it somewhere, his face becoming redder and redder.
Exodus 10, no, 9, verse 16. Exodus 9:16, yes Im sure its that". Gabriel finally got it sorted.
