Maori Prophets and Prophecies
History of the Maori prophets played an essential part in Maori History. Matakite (seers) were referred to, as Maori Prophets. They foretell the events of importance before it actually taken place. Much like the prophets in the Bible, these men and women could master the passage of time, whenever in need of direction or help for their people. They had the opportunity to use their gift for the right reasons or either for the wrong reasons. They foretold the emergence of the Maori Prophet Tahupotiki Wiremu Ratana. This man would unite the Maori people under Ihoa (God) in spreading abroad the teachings of the Maramatanga (Divine enlightenment) to the Maori people and the rest of humanity, and for the Ratification of the Treaty of Waitangi, te Mana Motuhake o te Iwi Maori. The Old Testament was written largely by the Prophets who lived in the Middle East centuries before the birth of Christ. Our Elders understood the prophetic sayings of the Seers of old.

(Maori Version)
ko tetahi korero i korero-nuitia e ratou ko tenei- "Kia rapua te mea ngaro".

(English Version)
"Seek, seek after the unknown" (the mysteries of things Spiritual).
This list of Maori Prophets, prophesied the coming of Tahupotiki Wiremu Ratana. Several important prophetic comments were made by each Maori Prophet concerning T.W.Ratana.
1. Akuhata (Hata) Kiwa
2. Aperahama Taonui
3. Atareta Mererikiriki Ropiha
4. Heremaia Tomairangi
5. Hipa Te Maiharoa
6. Kingi Tawhiao (Matutaera) Potatau
7. Matene Te Whiwhi
8. Paora Te Potangaroa
9. Rua Kenana
10. Te Kooti Te Turuki Rikirangi
11. Te Ruki Kawiti
12. Te Whiti o Rongomai
13. Te Ua Haumeene
14. Titokowaru
15. Tohu Kakahi
16. Tahupotiki Wiremu Ratana

The Maori people were in need for someone to deliver them from the bonds of Tohungaism and evil practices of black magic. This person would unite the Maori people under Ihoa O Nga Mano. The Prophets of Maoridom in their Prophesies spoke of how the people would identify this man when he arrives and foretold the coming of the deliverer who would have the Maramatanga.

Records and references to these Prophets maybe found in the full set of Te Whetu Marama o te Kotahitanga, Te Rongo Pai Hou A T.W. Ratana Mangai, Te Rongo Pai O Ihoa; there is also a fullest of theirs Prophecies researched and collated in chronological order by Uri Whakatupuranga, the Ratana Archive Centre. This material gives a broad explanation on the events a chronological map of the Ratana Movement and the Ratana Church during Tahupotiki Wiremu Ratana ministry between 1918 and 1939. However, the fact that the coming of a deliverer, who would have the Maramatanga with him was foretold.

“We have paddled the seas of time, our feet have trodden the courtyards of the unbelievers and foreigners, we have visited the great fortresses of Kings, we have entered the great fortress at Geneva at which place live the Twelve Kings who will pass Judgement on the World.”

“The place I have measured out shall remain sacred for my people...I tell the assembled tribes that they shall not be lost. If you have taken silver, then indeed you will be lost. What good have you got when you stretched forth your hand for it? Did it not turn to poisonous drink, which maddened you? And then where was the land of your fathers.”

What Are The Names Of The Seven Angels
The Bible names only three Angels, all Archangels: Raphael, Gabriel, and Michael. The non? Canonical Book of Enoch contains a longer list of " Angels who watch":
• Uriel, one of the Holy Angels, who is over clamor and terror.
• Raphael who is over the spirits of men.
• Raquel who inflicts punishment on the world and the luminaries.
• Michael who, presiding over human virtue, commands the nations.
• Sarakiel who presides over the spirits of men that transgress.
• Gabriel who is over paradise, and over the cherubim."

Enoch mentions Phanuel, "who presides over repentance, and the hope of those who inherit eternal life" and who (with Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael) is one of the four angels who stand next to God. Other sources give other names. Prominent in Jewish folklore, for example, is Metatron, described as the prince of all angels. Raphael means "God heals," and Raphael is best known from the book of Tobit, where he serves as companion and teacher of young Tobias. He is the patron of the blind and of doctors and nurses. He usually appears in icons and other paintings holding a pilgrim's walking stick and gourd.
