Flying Saucers of the Lord
by David F. McConnell
Economy Printing Company; Miami, FL
small octavo unbound (5.5” x 8.5”), 47 pp, almost near fine
(1969) no stated edition
An unusual book that discusses every verse in the Bible (assumed King James version) that the author believes makes some reference to flying saucers and as he puts it “are vehicles of the Lord and his angels”. He finds 115 verses that meet this criterion: 86 in the Old Testament and 29 in the New Testament. Naturally, Ezekiel and the wheel (Ezekiel 1:4) are in there, but most of these verses listed are a bit of a stretch:
II Chronicles 14:12 “So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.
Asa was at peace in Judah when they were attacked by a superior force of the Ethiopians from
near Cush. The Lord smote the attacking enemy with flying saucers. Asa and the people with
him took a great spoil and returned to Jerusalem.
Get the picture? Not exactly big-time scholarly research. A lot of these are pure fantasy conclusions, and some border on the bizarre and ridiculous. But, since this was back in the 60s, there's a good chance that assorted chemicals might have been involved during the research and writing of this book. Assign any level of seriousness to it that you want.
This item is unbound, in an unattached gloss cardboard cover (the Economy Printing Company lived up to its name) with faint rubbing and very light toning along the spine. Pages are clean and intact. Has a small one-dollar handwritten price in red at top right of front cover, and a red stamp for Kingdom Digest in Dallas, Texas [a religious magazine] on the front also. Otherwise fine.
A very obscure and rare publication, that only has a couple of mentions on the entire internet.
