LIMITED EDITION OF 1000 COPIES SIGNED BY AUTHOR - COPY No.216. RARE biblical research by Moses Guibbory (1899-1985), who was born in the Ukraine, and after a brief stay in Turkey, which was divided by civil war, went to Palestine, where found a new home in the Cave of the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem. In the mid-twenties, he announced that he was the Messiah, and some people started to believe him after he had predicted a severe earthquake. He gave arguments for calling himself the Lord of the Universe, the Last Incarnation of Jehovah, the Shepherd and New Moses, in a huge commentary on the Scriptures, in which he demonstrated that all prophets had predicted his own coming to this world. This book, called `The Bible in the Hands of its Creators: Biblical Facts as They Are`, Guibbory dictated to his disciple and secretary David Horowitz; after finishing the work, Guibbory anointed his assistant `Messiah, Son of David`. He emigrated to the United States in 1943, after which he broke ties with Horowitz, though in the early 1950`s, they attempted to lay aside their disagreement. David Horowitz became a well-known diplomat who secured the recognition of Israel as an independent state from several countries in 1948 and worked for the United Nations, becoming a confidant of Dag Hammarskjöld. 265x185mm.
