The prophecies of Calvin Zwyngli is the 2nd album in a trilogy which began with 'the parables of the Maze' and will conclude at some point in the future (expected summer 2023) with 'the chronicles of eryaldur'.

Musically:
Predominantly a heavy rock / prog rock album in the style of the bands of the early to mid-1970’s with a few surprises thrown in – 2 swing / jazz tracks and a lullaby.

Context:
Many tales have been told and many scrolls written. How are we to understand them? We are bodily creatures of the earth, yet we have a soul and a spirit within us. Our bodies will not last for ever, but our soul and spirit will pass on to the next world, wherever and whatever that will be.

Some prophets of old received visions of the future and recorded these for our enlightenment – Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah. Others read what was already recorded and received instruction to tell those around them and perhaps, what it meant
- a warning – Joel, Jonah, Amos, Micah
- judgement – Nahum, Habakkuk
- love and compassion of El - Hosea

The parables of the maze (houstonayre.bandcamp.com/album/the-parables-of-the-maze) were written based on the experiences of one man and what he had been able to learn from other men. In his bodily experience, there were glimpses of the spiritual realms through occasional revelations and some awareness of the battle for his soul between good and evil.

Another man from our future, has been allowed to witness some of the war in the spiritual realms and thus see more than that first man.

These are the prophecies of Calvin Zwyngli after he had passed from the shadow world into the world of the light. They are not new visions of the future but are the warnings and promises that can be seen in what is already revealed, told through musical compositions with associated notes.
The musical compositions form an album which is divided into two parts representing two sides of a vinyl recording and narrating the prophecies in two stages.

Side 1 – Doomsday approaches for the prince of darkness

Side 2 – Kingdom fulfilled for the children of the light

Narrator’s Notes
a. “A person’s life is like grass. Like a flower in the field it flourishes, but when the hot wind blows by, it disappears, and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew.”
(From Psalm 103 by David, King of Israel and Judah, c 980 BCE)

b. El appears in Ugaritic, Phoenician and other 2nd and 1st millennium BCE texts both as generic "god" and as the head of the divine pantheon.
In the Hebrew Bible El (Hebrew: אל‎) also appears. It occurs 217 times in the Masoretic Text: 73 times in the Psalms and 55 times in the Book of Job amongst others.

c. Calvin Zwyngli is a man from our future. He was named after two great reformers from our past:
Jean Cauvin 1509 – 1564
(he changed his name in 1524 to its Latin form, Ioannis Calvinus, which in French became Jean Calvin.)
Huldrych Zwingli 1484 – 1531
