First Reference: Beginnings 24:44

And if they will not give heed to the words of the prophets to turn again unto me, then shall I send forth to them the Arch-Angel Uriel.

See: Arch-Angel, Archon, Dispensation (Law of), Isaiah

Summary: Uriel is one of the seven mighty Arch-Angels of the celestial Council of Elohim, who led “many valiant ones” into battle during the rebellion of Shaemdiel (Lucifer) (W:2:36-38). The prophet Isaiah (c. 8th century BCE) is identified in scripture as the mortal embodiment of Uriel, and leader of the fourth dispensation on this earth (1:3:39-41).

One of Uriel’s foreordained objectives as Isaiah was to “foretell the coming of the Anointed One”, who was later born as Yeshua Ben Joseph (B:24:44-45). Despite his efforts, Isaiah was killed, and his words and teachings were corrupted, “causing that...the minds of men be clouded with all manner of foolish expectations concerning this Anointed One” (1:3:41).

Such was the evil, Most Holy Father, which pressed hard against the third dispensation of God; and in the fourth came Uriel, who as Isaiah the prophet, would foretell the coming of the Anointed One, but the evil grew darker still and Isaiah was killed.

And all which he taught and wrote concerning the coming of the Promised One did conspiring men corrupt every whit, which thing filled the heart of God with sorrow;

Causing that in the days of Yeshua should the minds of men be clouded with all manner of foolish expectations concerning this Anointed One; and with anger and malice did they crucify the very Father of their souls, whereby they might preserve themselves in power and forsake the good altogether.
