Most of us in ufology are aware of prophet Ezekiel's vision of what many accept to be a detailed and incredible close encounter with a UFO and a radiant being (God) from within it. Unfortunately we remember the description of the UFO itself but do not recall the prophetic message this radiant being gave to Ezekiel, who with the rest of the Jews were in captivity in Babylon at the time (Ezekiel 4:3-6). I will briefly quote from friend's book (autographed by Grant Jeffrey himself too) below regarding this prophetic message. "In this prophecy we are given a sign and a clear interpretation that each day represents one biblical year. Ezekiel was told that Israel would be punished for 390 years and for 40 years. ... Out of a total decreed punishment of 430 years for Israel's and Judah's sin ... once you deduct the 70 years of the Babylon captivity which ended in 536 B.C.; there is a total of 360 years of further punishment beyond 536 B.C. ... historically, Israel did not repent of its sin at the end of the seventy years in Babylon. ... God told Israel that if, after being punished for her sins, she still did not repent, the punishments previously specified would be multiplied by 7. ... 360 years x 7 = 2,520 biblical years ... The end of the captivity in Babylon, ... is recorded as having occurred in the spring of 536 B.C. ... 2,520 biblical years x 360 = 907,200 days. Converting this figure into our calendar year of 365.25 days and dividing 365.25 into 907,200 days we reach a total of 2,483.8 calendar years. ... Therefore, the end of Israel's worldwide captivity would occur after a total of 2,483.8 years had elapsed ... I have been able to determine in my research, this interpretation of Ezekiel's prophecy, showing its exact fulfillment on May 14, 1948, has never before been published." As you are well aware Greg, on that date the state of Israel was reborn. We cannot even predict what the weather will be like next week, let alone make any prediction that will come true 2,483.8 years into the future. Well, there is another 2,483.8 year prediction that is due to be fulfilled on the 9th of October, 2000 when the Millennium Kingdom begins but you will have to read Grant's book for that one since I promised to tell you about just one. Another well known UFO sighting in the Bible occurred at time of Jesus' birth (The Star of Bethlehem). Although scholars have long speculated on the exact date of this UFO sighting, Grant also shows that the Bible itself answers this - the Feast of Tabernacles, 1 B.C. (see Appendix B of Grant Jeffrey's book). The additional reference above to a UFO was included to conform to UFO UpDates mandate. ;) Bye for now. Nick
