In Angel Messages: Parables of Wisdom for the Thirsting Soul, real angels speak to us today, telling loving stories from the heart. "We have come but for one purpose - to prepare a way for the coming of the Messiah." This is the full color edition of Volume 1, Angel Messages: Parables of Wisdom for the Thirsting Soul - the Dawn of Awakening. Each parable has been beautifully illustrated to add to its meaning. The first parables the spiritual messengers of God, Aka, spoke, from 1973 to 1975, are collected into this color edition of Volume 1. But all five volumes are available for you in black and white in the Angel Messages: Parables of Wisdom for the Thirsting Soul series. With the brightest comet in the heavens of the century, the spiritual messengers of God arrived in 1970. On April 3, 1970, they began to speak through a humble man, bringing a message of good news to all who will hear. Their words were tape recorded from 1970 through 1989 as they spoke through Ray Elkins, in Globe, Arizona. Now, their words have been transcribed for you. Volume 1 of 5, Awakening before the Dawn, shares parables that the angels spoke from 1972 to 1975. Each is beautifully illustrated, making the parables even more enjoyable for you to read. For the angels bring a message of great joy to all the world - the preparation for the coming of the Messiah! Parables have long been told to teach men and women. Two thousand years ago, Jesus' disciples asked him, "'Why do you speak to them in parables?' He replied, 'It has been granted to you to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven; but to those others it has not been granted.'...'But happy are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear! Many prophets and saints, I tell you, desired to see what you now see, yet never saw it; to hear what you hear, yet never heard it.'" (Matthew 13:10-15) "In all the teaching to the crowds Jesus spoke in parables....This was to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah: 'I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret since the world was made.'" (Matthew 13:35) The spiritual messengers God send today say, "We have come, not to change the laws or the prophecies, but to show man their fulfillment for this time." "We are here to prepare a way for the coming of the Messiah." "New words shall be written upon the sky, but they must be written in men's hearts first." These Angel Messages come to bring fuller meaning to our lives and better understanding of spiritual teachings. They are given, not just to one faith, but to people in many faiths throughout the world. These parables are for today. This is volume 1. Once you read it, you'll want to read all five volumes. Some of the Angel Messages were first published as Parables for Today in 1982 with 142 parables - each given to bring man closer to God. But now you can read all of them. Angel Messages is the complete collection through 1989. This is a beautifully illustrated writing, transcribed from words spoken directly by spiritual messengers of God to you.
