The funny thing about "Prophets of Time" is that I have a friend who has
a t-shirt with the *exact* picture... (y'know, the skeletons everywhere
and that angel guy standing over them).  As it turns out, he bought the
shirt at a Christian book store.  The picture is actually an artist's
rendition of a passage in Ezekiel where the skeletons come to life and
grow their flesh back.  Kinda cool, actually.  Hence the inspiration for
the non-Hawkwind song "Dem bones, dem bones, dem <pause> dry bones."
