Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
I have read your letter with a great deal of interest and
understanding. You are a deep thinker and a great reader. Success is
bound to come to a mind which interprets the meaning of things. I
shall be very happy to have you write me about the future cycles as
you interpret them, and shall watch them with a great deal of interest.
Now that you have taken the step, Robert, and started in speculating,
I want to wish you success. I admire your courage in following your
convictions and the faith you have in yourself, and if it is possible
for you to win, I believe and hope you will.
Sincerely yours,
J.H. Kennelworth.
Robert's reply:
My dear Mr. Kennelworth:
My great desire to make money, I want you to understand, is to do some
good with it and benefit my country, when she will need the benefit
most. Please read Ezekiel very carefully, for I believe that Ezekiel
is the greatest of all prophets. He aptly describes an airplane which
I can make that will be a great aid in time of war. I believe that
Ezekiel plainly foretold the war yet to come which will be fought in
the air, and that the United States will be in great jeopardy, but
will finally win out. So you see, my object in speculating is not a
selfish motive altogether, but to help others and to help my country.
The following verses show that Ezekiel was predicting something to
happen in the future and was carrying out God's instructions. Ezekiel
13:2 and 3--
"Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy,
and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye
the word of the Lord";
Ezekiel 14:14, 16, 18 and 21--
"Though these three men, Noah, Daniel and Job, were in it, they
should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the
Lord God."
"Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God,
they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be
delivered, but the land shall be desolate."
"Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God,
they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be
delivered themselves."
"For thus saith the Lord God, How much more when I send my four sore
judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome
beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?"
Ezekiel 17:3--
"And say, thus saith the Lord God, A great eagle with great wings,
long-winged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto
Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar":
Ezekiel 21:30--
"Shall I cause it to return unto his sheath? I will judge thee in the
place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity."
