times in the past, and will do so again in the future.
“This time, after ten years of attempting to have a child,
Hannah convinced Elkanah of taking on another wife just for
childbearing purposes and nothing else.”
“The same thing that Sarah did with Hagar,” said Youssef.
“The exact same thing. Except this time Elkanah took
on the woman who was to be the incubator for his children
as well as his wife. Therefore, he took on the woman named
Peninnah as his second wife. Hannah would always be the
apple of his eye, but Peninnah would be the mother to his
children. Elkanah loved Hannah with all his heart, but if
he were to have any children, he would have to sleep with
another woman.
“It broke Hannah’s heart to do this, but she did it because
she loved her husband. The same reason Sarah did it for
Abraham. It was the most difficult decision they ever made.
“Nevertheless, the decision was made. Elkanah and
Peninnah would have five children within seven years.
“Of course the same thing that happened to Sarah
happened to Hannah. The other woman teased them because
they were without children. A childless woman back in those
days was a scorned woman. Hannah was no different. Besides
being teased by Peninnah, there were the looks from the
town’s women. It was an unbearable situation for any woman
to be in.
– 212 –
“Elkanah would try to console Hannah, but it was of no
use. He loved her and tried to make her life as comfortable
as possible, but to no avail. Hannah was a depressed woman
at that point.”
“That had to be difficult for her, especially in those days,”
said Youssef.
“It was. Also, besides the plight of Hannah, there was
another ongoing development for Elkanah. He was worried
about the state of the nation Israel. Corruption seemed to
be getting worse by the year. Judges and priests on the take,
while hardships increased for the common Israelites. The rich
were becoming richer, and the poor poorer.
“It was about this time that Elkanah brought the problems
of Hannah and his nation up to his friend, the priest Eli, who
recommended increased prayer for both issues.”
“Prayer is always the answer,” said Youssef.
With that comment, Gabriel looked at the young
Egyptian and smiled. Such a wise young man, this future King
of the South.
Eddie continued, “Now this priest known as Eli had
himself a problem as well. His two sons, who were judges, were
corrupt as hell, and on the take. This situation was brought to
the attention of Eli, who scolded his sons but nothing more.
Therefore, nothing changed. It was a cancerous atmosphere
in the nation, and something needed to be done. Elkanah and
Eli would pray together often for an answer from their God.”
– 213 –
“It was at this time that Elkanah, his two wives, and his
children journeyed to the Tabernacle at Shiloh to worship the
God of Abraham. This time, unlike the others, the results of
their visit would be far different.”
“As usual, Elkanah made his sacrifice for his family at
Shiloh. After the sacrifice, he gave gifts to each of his family
members. He would thank the God of Abraham for giving
him his family, and then he would present each of them with
a gift, as was his custom. After he gave his family each a gift,
Hannah broke out weeping. Penninah had five children who
received various gifts from their father, while Hannah had no
one but herself. Even though Elkanah loved her more than
the others, and her gift was far greater, she felt less than a
whole woman without children. After many tears that day,
she knew what she had to do.
“That evening, Hannah snuck off to the Tabernacle alone
to pray to Yahweh. Here is the prayer she said to the God
of Abraham:
“‘Father, hear my prayer. Please look down upon your
servant and grant me my fondest desire. To have a son. I know
there is reason for all things you do, but if you could open up
my womb and allow your child to be born, I will give him back
to you. I shall nurse him with all the love of my being, and
then after he is weaned from me, I shall return him back to
you. He will be yours for the entirety of his life. I shall not cut
one hair from his head, and shall love this child as no mother
has ever loved another. Father, hear my prayer. Amen.’”
– 214 –
“That’s a beautiful and touching prayer,” said Youssef.
“And a powerful one,” said Eddie. “Meanwhile, the priest
known as Eli was at his usual station, which was near the
door of the Tabernacle. While he was listening to Hannah, he
thought to himself, This woman is blabbering about incoherently.
Elkanah must have given her some wine to soothe her sorrows,
and now she is here drunk and praying.
“Eli stood up and said, ‘Must you come here drunk? Get
rid of your bottle of wine!’ Hannah, who was finished praying
at this point, replied to him, ‘I’m not drunk! I’m just pouring
my heart out to the Lord! Please don’t think of me that way!’”
Eddie pressed on with this story, “Then Eli told her to
cheer up and not be sad, for the God of Abraham will answer
her request, whatever it is.”
“Hannah then returned back to her family in a completely
different state of mind. She began to eat regularly, and her
countenance became more cheerful. She completely believed
what Eli had told her, and that gave her the faith and belief
that she would give birth to a son. This faith of Hannah’s
changed everything.
“After the family departed Shiloh and returned home,
Elkanah slept with Hannah. When he did, the Father
remembered her prayer, and she became pregnant with child.”
“It was her faith that gave her that child,” said Youssef.
“Indeed, and her faith was increased by Eli,” said Eddie.
“The child would grow up to become the prophet known as
Samuel. Once again, the soul known as Elijah had entered
– 215 –
into the world. This time he would become a priest and
mighty prophet.
“Hannah kept her part of the bargain, and returned the
child to the priest Eli as soon as Samuel was weaned. The
priest Eli then blessed Hannah, asking the Lord to give her
more children to take the place of the child she had given to
God. Elkanah and Hannah would end up having five more
children. Meanwhile, Penninah would have no other children
besides the five children she already had.”
“It sounds like Elkanah was less than Amos’s other lives.
Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses were all very prominent,”
said Youssef.
Gabriel then rejoined the conversation, “Each spirit receives
the same amount of the soul of Amos. The spirits of each are
shaped by their environments and surroundings. Just as each
branch of a tree is given the same amount of lifeblood from
the root of that tree. But each branch is shaped by the weather
conditions of the time period that each branch was born into.
“No two branches of the same tree look alike. Yet each
share in the growing of that tree. As each branch sprouts, the
tree grows further. As each spirit from Amos is born, the soul
of Amos grows. It’s the same. I use the tree as an example of
a soul with many spirits because it is the perfect example. It
is why the Lord Jesus used the tree as an example to many
things while he was teaching in the flesh.
“Now here is a great secret. Each branch of a tree affects
each other, just as each spirit of a soul affects each other. Adam
– 216 –
had an effect on Noah, who had an effect on Abraham, who
had an effect on Moses, and so on. Some branches of a tree
are for some uses, while some branches are for others. It is
the same with souls and spirits. The spirit known as Elkanah
was here for a specific purpose. It was the same purpose
that Abraham, Zechariah, and Eddie have. They were here
because of the all-important bloodline. Elkanah was here so
that Samuel could be born.
“Samuel was not only the answer to Hannah’s prayer, but
also the answer to Eli and Elkanah’s prayer. He was put here
to end the corruption that was going on in Israel at the time.
The nation badly needed a leader and a prophet. Therefore,
Elkanah and Hannah, who were the souls known as Amos
and Elizabeth, were put here to sire a son named Samuel,
who was the soul known as Elijah.
“As previously stated, Amos is a warrior-prophet. His
two sons, Ishmael and Elijah, are also warrior-prophets. Yet
Elijah has more of the prophet’s share and Ishmael more of
the warrior’s share. Yet both of them are equal in power and
in stature.”
Youssef and Eddie looked at Gabriel. The archangel had
a wonderful way of taking complicated subjects and making
them simple.
“What about the soul Ishmael? What is going on in
his life while all of this is happening to Amos and Elijah?”
asked Youssef.
– 217 –
Gabriel answered, “Let me tell you about what happened
to Ishmael and his descendants after he left Abraham, and
fled to the desert with his mother Hagar.
“Ishmael grew to become a fierce warrior in the land where
they settled, the land which is today called Saudi Arabia.
Taught well by his father, Abraham, he was a skilled hunter
and leader of the people. As you know, Youssef, Ishmael had
twelve sons. These were known as the twelve tribes of Ishmael.
“These twelve tribes would all end up competing with each
other. Whether it be for land, glory, or honor, the tribes were
all very competitive. And each one of them, like their father
Ishmael, was very warlike. A few generations removed from
Ishmael, they began by piecemeal, conquering the boot of
Arabia, which ended up being named after the Ishmaelites.
The Arabian race, that half-Hebrew (from Abraham) and half-
Egyptian (from Hagar) race would go on to create a new people
in the world. A people that could trace its roots all the way back
to Adam through their forefathers. A people who, like their
cousins, the sons of Isaac, believed in the God of Abraham. The
Arabian race has always believed in only one God.”
Youssef listened with relish at the telling of the history of
his people.
“Yet they were without the laws of Moses. They had to
rely on word of mouth given to them from generation to
generation about their heritage,” continued Gabriel.
“The Father has always had plans for the sons of Abraham
and Ishmael. Their warrior ways would come in handy in the
– 218 –
future. He needed a fierce race to rise up and protect what is
his. The day will come when this happens. But that day is yet
to come.
“By the time of the prophet Mohammed, these sons of
Ishmael, who would become known as the Arabian race, had
conquered most of the Middle East. Stretching from the
Persians in the east, to the Turks in the north, to Egypt in the
west. Many nations now belonged to them. Yet they had been
straying off the path of the God of Abraham for centuries.
They needed a set of laws laid down which they could follow.
That is when Ishmael reincarnated to become Mohammed. I
then appeared to Mohammed and laid down the laws of the
Qur’an for him to follow, and the rest is history.”
Youssef interrupted. “The soul known as Ishmael was
Abraham’s son Ishmael, Mohammed, and now myself. Is this
correct?”
“That is true,” said Gabriel.
Youssef had heard this a few times, it just seemed too
impossible for him to believe. He kept going with the
thought. “And you’ve declared me to be the prophet Daniel’s
King of the South?”
“That is also true,” answered Gabriel.
“And I was told there are two parts to this prophecy. The
first part has already happened, but the last part hasn’t?”
Youssef asked.
“That is true as well. And the son of Lucifer is the King of
the North,” said Gabriel.
– 219 –
“Okay,” said Youssef. He kept the thread going in his head.
“So, tell me, who is my brother Elijah in this life?”
“That would be your twin sisters,” interrupted Eddie.
“The two young girls who were with us that day when you
entered heaven?” asked Youssef.
“The very same,” said Eddie.
“How can that be?” asked Youssef.
Gabriel jumped in. “Not all of the soul Elijah’s incarnations
have been male, although a majority of them were.”
Youssef still didn’t understand; he pressed further. “Let
me see if I have this correct. I have a sister who is in Israel,
another one in Italy, and twin sisters in Australia. How is it
that they are all female and I’m the only male of the bunch?”
Eddie looked at Gabriel and asked, “You want to explain
or do you want me to?”
“We must first ask the Father, since this concerns future
events,” said Gabriel. He then listened within for instructions,
and replied, “Youssef, you are male because it would be
impossible at this time for a female to rise to power in Egypt.
“All of your sisters you mentioned have male-dominant
personalities. However, there is change in the air. The next
Messiah will be female, as will be her prophets who announce
her coming. The Messiah will come from your sister in Israel’s
line. Her prophets are the twins we mentioned. Your other
sister, who is located in Italy, is also a prophet. But her mission
is to warn the Church of grave future consequences if they
don’t change their ways.”
– 220 –
“How can the Messiah be female?” asked Youssef.
“How can the Father be female?” Gabriel asked back. “I’l
tell you. The Father, Allah, Yahweh, or whatever name you
wish to call the Creator, has always been male and female.
You can’t have one without the other, it’s impossible to
achieve this state of being. One must exist for the other to
exist. Therefore the Father is both male and female.
“The one whom you know as Jesus, incarnated as the
Father in the flesh, was in male form. The future Messiah,
who will come out of Israel, will be the Father in the flesh, in
female form.”
“No one believes that the anointed one will be female,”
observed Youssef.
“There are those people on the planet who believe, but
not many. Your father Eddie believed while he was in the
flesh. He received this information while he was writing his
commentary on the book of Revelation,” said Gabriel.
Eddie piped in, “Son, there can be no other way.”
“I still don’t understand,” said Youssef.
It was Eddie’s turn to explain. “The Scriptures speak of
two Messiahs. A suffering Messiah, and a conquering one.
One who was ‘pierced for our transgressions,’ and another
who will ‘rule the nations.’ Many people confuse these two
into believing they are one person. When in fact, they are two
parts to the same being, which is the Father.”
“The male portion of the Father came in the form of Jesus.
He was the suffering Messiah. The one who sacrificed himself
– 221 –
as a ransom for many. The female portion of the Father is
coming very soon from the line of your sister in Israel. She
will be the conquering Messiah, who will rule all nations.
‘Rule’ really isn’t the best word here—‘teach’ is a more accurate
term. She will teach all nations, thereby lifting humanity to
a new level.”
“But doesn’t Scripture teach of Jesus declaring that he will
return?” asked Youssef.
“Jesus was speaking as the Father when he said that. He
was speaking as the representative of Christ consciousness.
The consciousness that Jesus possessed will return in the form
of his female equivalent. That is what he meant when he said
he will return to make all things new,” said Eddie.
“He will return, but for a short period of time, and pave
the way for his sister,” said Gabriel.
“That great and dreadful day, when the moon turns red, the
Lord Jesus will return and destroy the enemies of mankind. For
twenty-four hours, Jesus will remain on Earth, and then he will
return to the Father. When that day happens, a child will be
born in Israel who will rule the nations. She will be filled with
Christ consciousness from birth. This will be his sister Sophia.”
“Wow!” exclaimed Youssef.
“Many Scriptures have been written about that day. It is
known as the ‘Day of the Lord,’” said Gabriel.
“Right around Yom Kippur, 2034,” interrupted Eddie.
Both Gabriel and Youssef shot Eddie a look. “What can I
say? That is the date the Father gave me,” said Eddie.
– 222 –
“Is it true?” Youssef asked Gabriel.
“I don’t know the answer to that question. The Father has
not revealed that information to me,” said Gabriel.
“I guess I’m just lucky,” said Eddie.
“Blessed would be a better word,” said Gabriel.
“Yeah, that too,” said Eddie.
Youssef was in awe of the information that his father had
received from Allah. He was truly a prophet in every sense
of the word. As his past lives were. Yet he still had questions.
“Father, how do you know for sure that date to be true? This
‘Day of the Lord’?”
“I just know. It’s a knowing feeling built within me.
It comes from my source, the soul known as Amos. The
prophetic muscle built within him has been strengthened by
many of his past lives. Those gifts are then passed on to me,
since I am the latest incarnation of Amos. The next Amos will
inherit these same gifts,” said Eddie.
“Just as the warrior muscle built within you has been
strengthened by many of your past lives,” Gabriel said to
Youssef.
“And that, my son, will come in handy in the near future,”
added Eddie.
“Because, as you’ve both said, I am to be the King of the
South,” said Youssef.
“Exactly,” said Eddie.
“I wish I knew about this prophecy,” stated Youssef.
– 223 –
“It’s all in the eleventh chapter of the book of Daniel,”
said Eddie.
Youssef looked at both Eddie and Gabriel and asked,
“What can you tell me about this King of the South?”
Gabriel answered, “You will have to study Daniel’s
prophecy. I can only tell you that you will oppose the son of
Lucifer, the prince of Persia.”
“I’ve never cared for Persians,” said Youssef.
Eddie laughed and said, “Arabs and Persians generally
haven’t gotten along.”
“The point is to study Daniel and ask the Father to give
you the answers to your questions about him. Only he can
answer the questions that you have,” said Gabriel.
“Sometimes, we can’t tell you everything. To do so is a
violation,” added Eddie.
“Okay, will do. It seems like the more answers I’m given,
the more questions that come forth from them,” said Youssef.
“That’s how the old man works, he gives and the next
thing you know, you desire more of his giving. His answers
always lead to more questions,” said Eddie.
“I wish you wouldn’t call Allah, ‘the old man,’” said Youssef.
“Like I said, he doesn’t mind,” said Eddie.
“Also, why do the two of you keep referring to Allah in
the masculine, if Allah is as you say both male and female?”
asked Youssef.
– 224 –
It was Gabriel’s turn to speak. “Because you’re more
comfortable with it. If I kept referring to God in the
feminine, you would focus on that aspect, and miss much of
this message that you are receiving today.”
“Allah is both male and female,” whispered Youssef.
“You can’t have one without the other,” said Eddie.
– 225 –
samuel
Youssef looked around at his beautiful surroundings.
From his vantage point on the Mount of Olives, he could
see the sacred Dome of the Rock, on the Temple Mount in
Jerusalem. He thought his mind was going to burst with all
this new information he had received on this journey with the
archangel and his Father.
As if reading his mind, Gabriel said, “Don’t worry, son
of Egypt, it will take time for your mind to process this
information, but once it’s absorbed it will remain. ‘Once
learned, stays learned.’”
“How do I come into power in Egypt?” asked Youssef.
“You will take it,” said Eddie.
“How?” Youssef pressed.
“I can’t tell you. It would be a violation of your free will,”
said Eddie.
– 226 –
I will take it, Youssef thought. That’s enough information
for now.
“Don’t worry about the details,” said Eddie.
“Okay. I guess that will have to do,” said Youssef.
They all paused for a few moments and let Youssef catch
his breath.
“Are you ready to continue onward with the soul of Amos’s
sixth life?” asked Eddie.
Youssef again laughed and said, “I get so caught up with
you two, I lose track of what we were doing. Oh! Yes, Elkanah.
Is that all there is to him?”
“That’s all you need to know. Elkanah was a good, moral
man who had an exceptional son named Samuel. A prophet
who would lead Israel back to its God, back to its source.
Restoring its spiritual condition,” said Eddie.
“So the bloodline was his main mission?” asked Youssef.
“Yes. Like Abraham, Zechariah, and myself, we would sire
children who would create massive change,” answered Eddie.
“You said before that the soul of Amos is equal parts warrior
and prophet. But there’s also a third part, the bloodline, isn’t
that correct?” asked Youssef.
“It’s the most important part. It dates back to when Amos
appeared as Adam to help the Father redeem the planet. It
continues on, life after life, from him,” said Eddie.
“I think I understand. Go ahead with the next life after
Elkanah,” said Youssef.
– 227 –
Eddie looked at Gabriel and asked, “Do you wish to tell
him, or should I?”
“You’re doing a wonderful job. Continue on for one
more life, which is all that the Father has allotted for now,”
said Gabriel.
“Sounds good,” said Eddie. “Let
