In this groundbreaking book, Barker claims that pre-Christian Judaism was not monotheistic and that the roots of Christian Trinitarian theology lie in a pre-Christian Palestinian belief about angels derived from the ancient religion of Israel. Barker's beliefs are based on canonical and deutero-canonical works and literature from Qumran and rabbinic sources.

The Elyon flows from El Elyon (the Most High God), as a river of living fire and divine truth into the Archangel Uriel, from Uriel into his angel/servant/scribe Uriyah, and from Uriyah whispered subliminally into the ears of the hermit messenger. A boiled down unity of the teachings from previous monotheistic and mystical religions, this work reveals the hidden messages within the Biblical prophecies, and presents a grand and epic vision for the future of planet earth and mankind... Indeed, opening a path of ascendance to the human race. If you dislike the God of the Bible, don't buy this book. It tickles no one's ears, neither on the Left or Right, and is bound to be one of the most controversial teachings in the modern era. No New Age religion, this is an ancient way of divine promise and power.
