A young prophet was set adrift from the ship of a great king in a small lifeboat. He was given no food nor provisions, only a grappling hook and a single oar. It became dark and in the night the young prophet heard a large passing ship close by. The prophet threw out his hook and caught hold of the rails on the ship. Out on his nightly rounds, the captain of the ship notices the hook attached to the deck's rail and said,

"What's this? A PROPHET!

I'll not pull a prophet!

Cut the line."

     Under questioning and amid protests the order was carried out. Once again, the young prophet was set adrift in the open seas. The birds brought him meat & water upon leaves for drink. Using only one oar, the young prophet paddled his small boat in circles getting no where. Finally, he collapsed from exhaustion and despair, even shooing away the birds, which were bringing him substance from Heaven, for he was now exhausted and had lost all hope. Suddenly, a white lifeline was thrown into the prophet's boat. Through the foggy air he heard the instructions:

"Grasp on!"

     The young prophet lifted up his head and secured the line as the boat was pulled toward a small island. Pulling on the other end of the line was an older prophet.  He was a castaway on a deserted island!  From time to time as ships would past by, the captains would mockingly call out,

"There is the land of the prophets!"

And so the older prophet took in the younger one, and when he had regained his strength he said, "Now it is time to carve the roundtable."  The young one was surprised. He had heard of this table in visions and in dreams, but he had lost all hope of it ever coming into existence. The older one gave him the directions to the Mountain of the Lord. From the base of this mountain the young prophet was to find a large rock and from that rock he was to carve the roundtable out of stone.

     And so the young prophet made his way unto the mountain of the Lord and did find the rock, which the older prophet had spoken of. Making camp there for the night he did fall asleep and dreamed a dream. And two Angels did appear to the young one in this dream saying,

"This rock, which you have found, is indeed a solid rock for it was taken from the mountain of God. And out of this rock He shall perform and perfect the people of the Lord for the service of His Son. For the office of His servants the Prophets has been killed and laid to rest and they have known their time of death and dormancy. But now is the time, and it doth please the Lord God to resurrect His servants the Prophets once again, and place them in a position of power and authority over the peoples of the Lord.

For He shall reinstate them by his Hand and under His power and anointing and they shall go forth and proclaim the year of the Lord. For they shall be brought back to life even as through they had been dead, as it were, and they shall go forth with new resurrection life; and they shall do what they were made to do from the time that they were in their mother's wombs. For this generation and this seed has been given unto man for one purpose and for one thing, to prepare ye the way for the coming of the Lord."

     Upon waking the younger prophet did make his way back to the camp of the elder prophet with the large stone. Then under the elder's instructions and watchful eye, the young one did begin to carve from out of the rock the table, which would be the table of the Lord. And when the chiseling was all completed and all of the carving was done, the two prophets fasted and prayed for a time making themselves ready before the Lord. Then the elder one spoke saying, "Now the time has come."

Together they rolled the table of stone over to the crack and crevice at the base of the mountain. They lifted the table and let it down . When the stone table was dropped into its place, it acted as a key and things started moving. Suddenly, the ground on which they stood began to shake and rise until that which had once been a small island in the middle of the ocean rose up out of the waters and emerged even as a lost continent.! It stretched far and wide toward the coast of Europe and Africa and with its other side reaching across toward the Americas!

This was the forgotten land of the prophets, which the Lord had resurrected once again for His purposes in Glory.

  Comments

     There has been no room for the prophets in the land, and so they have been isolated and left to fend for themselves. So the Lord will create a land for them and this land they shall rule and reign over, for the Glory of the Lord shall reign there at the foot of the Lord's mountain. It is a time of returning to the Mount Sinai and the leadership of Moses, for once again God's people shall know the leadership of the prophetic servants of the Lord for these leaders shall be directed by the fire and the cloud of the Holy Spirit.
