Transcription

There are other prophecies about the last days that more figuratively predict that people will become “drunken with their own blood” and become, in an anachronistic paraphrase of Malachi, like “stubble,” that “the day cometh that they must be burned.” Many of these types of metaphors were borrowed from the Bible. In an extended prophecy delivered by Jesus in the Americas, the resurrected God borrows four verses from Micah, five from Acts, thirteen from Isaiah, a repeated verse from Isaiah, seven from Micah, then from Micah again, one from Isaiah, and finally a chapter from Isaiah.
