Dr. Brian Bailey’s book, the Chariot Throne of God, is an excellent verse by verse exposition of the Book of Ezekiel. The four main divisions of this book are: Prophecies against Judah and Israel (1:1-24:27)Prophecies against Foreign Nations (25:1-32:32)Restoration of Israel (33:1-39:29)Vision of the New Temple and the Millennial Reign (40:1-48:35) This study examines the revelation of God’s holiness given through the visions of the prophet and recorded in the Book of Ezekiel, as well as the prophecies contained in that book, particularly those indicative of events that take place in the last days, and even in the Millennial reign of Christ.

A practical guide to merkavah mysticism, suitable for VERY experienced magicians. There are many books available about Qabalah but very little has been written about older forms of Jewish mysticism. This book seeks to address that lack of information by describing one of the oldest, merkavah mysticism, an ancient technique that is similar to shamanism, but with a very different purpose. Where shamans seeks to contact animal spirits, merkavah mystics seeks to penetrate the seven Heavens and stand before the throne chariot of God. Within this book you will find detailed instructions for performing merkavah mysticism, adapted from Medieval sources, along with the names and functions of the entities you will encounter, all in an easy to use format that avoids the obscurism of the medieval material. The author has used this material himself and can vouch for its efficacy. This book is suitable for all those who are interested in ancient Jewish mysticism and advanced forms of practical work. WARNING The techniques contained within this book are NOT suitable for beginners.

Are there Old Testament roots of the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary? Margaret Barker traces the roots of the devotion to Mary as Mother of the Lord back to the Old Testament and the first temple in Jerusalem. The evidence is consistent over more than a millennium: there had been a female deity in Israel, the Mother figure in the Royal cult, who had been abandoned about 600BCE. She was almost written out of the Hebrew text, almost excluded from the canon. This first of two volumes traces the history of the Lady in the Temple, and looks forward to the second volume in which Barker will show how the Lady of the Temple is reclaimed in the advent of Christianity, and becomes the Lady in the Church. The result is breathtaking, and like all Barker's work, is impossible to put down.
