it.’
‘But now all the inhabitants of Earth know that air planes exist. All have seen them and most have travelled in them. Those air planes are made on Earth. Men are alive on Earth today, who have been to Earth’s Moon. Interplanetary spacecraft exist, made on Earth. When those went to the Moon, they were not immaterial beings, and they are not immaterial now.’
‘They were, and still are solid human beings. And if there were life on Earth’s moon, and one of the beings living on it had seen the human astronauts who went there, they would have looked like Aliens to it; but nonetheless they would have been true. They would not have been the figment of the ‘Moon being’s imagination.’
‘So, we beseech those who shall read this message to believe this our messenger; though she is still but an ignorant girl. Because if Man went from Earth to explore and walk on Earth’s Moon, why should other highly evolved beings not have come from another Planet in another Galaxy, to create life on Earth? And if those beings are hundreds of thousands of years ahead of Earth’s scientists in technological knowledge, why should they not have created or affected the whole Solar System and Earth themselves altogether?’
‘Now the flaw in the myth of an immaterial creator of Humanity becomes very obvious. We created Man in our own image and if we were immaterial beings, Humans would also be immaterial. But you, Humans are solid and visible, and alive and true. And you, Humans having been created in our own image, we therefore are also truly human as we have always maintained ourselves.’
‘But we are not only Man, we are also Divine beings; and so are all of you, the Human beings. And the sooner Man on earth accepts this fact, the better it will be for all of you. Believe in God, honor Him and access your Divine powers. Such is your birthright. And we are instructing and sending our little messenger here to teach you how, to show you how, and to help you access to your Divinity as we have shown her.’

‘Here, Ezekiel had described a space vessel, together with space men. Now we shall see if those space men were just anonymous Extra-Terrestrials, or us, the same Elyonin we have been telling you about until now. Were they Elyonin of Adam, Enoch and Noah? Were they Elyonin of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses? And was Yahweh, our Leader with them?’
‘After Ezekiel had fainted, the man who seemed like the captain and leader of the space crew revived him and said to him: ‘... Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak to you …’
‘And this is what the man who was seating on the ‘throne’ or on the desk of the cockpit said: “And he said to me, son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even to this very day… …For they are impudent children and stiff-hearted. I do send you to them, thus says Yahweh the Lord of Elyonin and your Lord.”
“And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear (for you are a rebellious house), yet shall they know that there has been a prophet among them… …And you, son of man be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with you, and you do dwell among scorpions; be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.” Ezekiel 2:3-6
‘There! The space man was truly the same: he was our Leader, Yahweh. He warned Ezekiel that the people would not believe that he was sent by Elyonin, and by Yahweh, our Leader himself. And they would neither listen to his warnings, nor obey his orders and the Divine laws that he will give them. And not only that, they would also say horrible things about him, and make false accusations and darkening his image. And they would seek to stop him from doing his work by laying traps before him, for him to fail. He continues:
“And you shall say my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear for they are most rebellious… …But you, son of man, hear what I say to you; be not rebellious... …open your mouth, and eat that I give you… And when I looked, behold a hand was sent to me; and lo, a roll of a book was therein... and he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written there in lamentations, mourning and woe.” Ezekiel 2:7-10
‘In the book of Genesis most of the teachings that were given to Adam and Eve by the Renegades were in books which they were given to read.’
‘It is written that ‘Eve took the fruit of knowledge, ate it and gave it to Adam’. This means that she read the teachings that were in the books and assimilated them. It was explained that after she and Adam read those bad books (or ate the knowledge contained in them), led to their shame when their eyes were later opened. Nobody eats paper; only food can be eaten.’
‘The same expression is used here by Ezekiel. The scroll had letters and words written on both sides. So, ‘eating the scroll’ on that occasion could only mean assimilate in order not to forget. Or to learn and keep with him the contents of the scroll.’
‘He was even told: ‘Eat... and go to speak to the house of Israel’. That meant read what is written on this scroll, learn it, fill your brain with it, then go and tell, and teach it to the house of Israel (‘speak to them with my words’).’
‘Finally, in the light of what we have just read, we can confidently conclude that the space man who spoke to Ezekiel on that day was the same one who spoke to Abraham and taught him Astronomy and the Mysteries. He was none other than Yahweh, our Leader himself. The scroll here clarified everything for him and he again became the new owner of the Divine Mysteries as they had been once given to his ancestors. And he was again told of our continuing war with the Renegades, and of the many rebellions of Humanity and what resulted from those.’
‘Ezekiel was then taken for a ‘ride’ or a flight on the space vessel. The description of that trip is made in the book of Ezekiel 3:12-16. He said that he was first very frightened, and then angry. Frightened because of what he had seen and of whom he had seen, and he did not like being taken up on that strange machine.’
‘He was so terrified and overwhelmed by the whole events that, after he was finally brought down again, he remained bewildered and in a state of shock for seven days. That was a very normal reaction in the circumstance. All the people that we have contacted over the millennia react very much in the same manner.’
‘Another one of our messengers called Jonah, whose story can also be read in the Bible suffered a similar shock after he had been rescued by one of our submarines and kept under water for three days. But we can assure you that those people were not hallucinating. They did see Elyonin and spoke to them; and most of them got to meet Yahweh our Leader.’
‘Virtually all Prophets and messengers that we have contacted on Earth have been given the same story that we have given to you here, as well as being given different tasks.’
‘You, Desiree, are certainly not considered the least important to us because you were not given this message by our Leader himself, or because you did not get the opportunity to meet him. There was no need for you to meet him for the work you have to do; and it would not have made any difference if you had met him.’
‘If you do your work well, he will surely come, if all goes well, in His own time and when needed; to designate and install a personality that will become a historical figure in the Earth of the future. That is if circumstances are as we wish them to be. You, however, will never meet Him.’
‘But you must content yourself with the task that we are giving you now, which is just as very important as those of the others. We have now come to the end of today’s installment of our message and shall meet you tomorrow at the usual Earth time. Peace be with you.’

I lay in my bed, reflecting on what I had just learnt. I forgot to mention that my mother had come with all my brothers and sisters, and our house was now full of children. I had found them there when I came back with the message that I had just listened to.
While my grandmother was delighted to have all her grand children around her, I on my part was not very happy. After the original excitement of seeing them all, I resented having my domain invaded.
Such a reaction is something that only an only child could understand. There were times when I valued the solitude and the silence to which I had become accustomed. And their natural curiosity did not endear them to me.
In the days that followed they kept demanding to know why I disappeared alone into the forest for hours, and what I was doing there.

CHAPTER EIGHT
MESSAGE OF THE SIXTH DAY
I do not know how I did it, but I managed to escape my siblings and go to my meetings with Elyonin. It was however difficult to leave little Henriette, my youngest sister behind. She was very attached to me and had entered into the habit of following me around, even sleeping in my bed. She was twelve years old that year. I had to fool her into going and looking for a non-existent book in my bedroom, telling her not to come back without it. And while she was gone I slipped away. Of course I met Elyonin and was given the message of the sixth day. And it went like this:
‘Greetings. By now you are familiar with the stories of your Bible, and you can understand what was meant in those old stories. Many times we had to use our space crafts and sea going vessels to help our prophets on Earth in their travels and in many other situations. Thus we used one of our submarines to rescue Jonah in the Sea.’
‘Another time when we had to introduce our new technology to one of our Human messengers is recounted in the book of Mormon, in the story of the Brother of Jared about how we helped him to travel to what is now the American continent.’
‘He was one of the Scientists we had to remove from Babel. He was one of those who had been involved in building that rocket or ‘Tower’ as it is called in the Bible. His name is not mentioned because our Leader had decreed that nobody on Earth should even utter their names, after their treason. But he was a good man who had been misled, and our leader had deemed him worth saving, because he immediately repented when he understood that he had been duped and lied to by the Renegades.’
‘He was given a compass, and was taught how to build submersible ships in which he and the people with him were able to
