Book of The Generations of Adam

The Book of the Generations of Adam was the Book of Remembrance

commenced by Adam subsequent to the expulsion from the Garden. In it he
recorded his experiences in the fallen world for the benefit of his posterity. This
book is referred to by Moses in his recounting of the history of the first ages of
the world. Sometime subsequent to the compilation of Moses' history, the Book
of Generations was lost from among men, but it was preserved in the mind of
God, the Holy Spirit, until the last dispensation when it is being brought forth for
the edification of those who are attempting to recreate at the end of time that
Holy Order which existed among our First Parents.

Gn:5:1: This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created
man, in the likeness of God made he him;

CHAPTER 1
1. IN the day that the Eloheim created man, in the likeness of the Eloheim made
He him, in the image of His own body, male and female, created He them and
blessed them and called their name Adam, which being interpreted is, first blood
or the first man having blood in his veins; and thus were they called Adam in the
day when they were created and became living souls in the land, upon the
footstool of the Eloheim.
2. Behold, it is I, Adam, who write this record, for thus did the Lord command
me, that there should be a book of remembrance kept among my people, even
from generation to generation, in which we should record those things which
transpire among us and the mighty works which the Eloheim should perform in
our behalf.
3. I and my people have come out form a land of great plenty, a land of beauty
and peace, where the Lord God had placed us. There, in a garden of delights,
we received every good thing from the hands of our Eloheim, who required only
that we dress the garden and that we refrain from partaking of the fruit of the
tree which was in the midst of the garden, lest we die. Of death we knew
nothing, but we understood that if we partook, we would be cast our of the
garden and cut off from the presence of the Eloheim. Nevertheless, there was in
the garden an evil one, one of the satans, who sought our destruction, that we
might be miserable like unto himself. In process of time, he led the women,
beguiling them until they partook of the fruit of the forbidden tree. Upon learning
this, we counseled together, knowing that with the coming of the Eloheim, the
women would be cast out of the garden and our purpose in coming here would
be frustrated. After much consultation, it was agreed that we should all partake
of the fruit, that together we might undergo that which awaited our little colony.
We partook and feeling for the first time the shame of our nakedness, we made
aprons of fig leaves which we tied about our loins, for the Light of the Eloheim
had departed from us and we were left exposed in the midst of the garden of
Jehovah.
4. When the Eloheim entered the garden, it seemed as though the brightness of
their coming would consume everything; in fear we hid among the trees, but the
Eloheim called us forth to face the consequences of our transgression. The
Satan was cursed to crawl upon his belly, eating dust all the days of his life. To
our horror, as we watched, his arms and legs withered away and upon his belly
he crawled from our presence. The women were placed under sorrow--their
priesthood was taken from them and they were subjected to their husbands for
the means of salvation. Nevertheless, they were promised joy in begetting
children and eventual redemption to their former glory. The men, too, were
placed under sorrow where we were commanded to till the ground, which would
no more yield to us freely as had the garden, until we died, for surely death is
the fruit of breaking the commandments of the Eloheim.
5. Before we were cast forth from the garden, the Eloheim taught us many
sacred things, that we might be prepared as masons to build up a Zion to the
Eloheim in the midst of this world of Sorrow. The Lord Jehovah gave unto us,
also, coats of skins which we were to wear as long as we remained in this world
of wickedness and sin. Thus attired, we were driven from the garden while
cherubim and a flaming sword were placed to prevent our reentry until we had
justified our Fall to mortality. In the midst of the garden, said the Eloheim, stood
a tree which would overcome the powers of death, but we could not partake of it
until we had proven ourselves faithful to the commission of the Eloheim.
CHAPTER 2
1. LEAVING the garden, we traveled as we were led until we arrived at a plain
which we called Olaha Shinehah, because here we hoped to find again the Light
which we had lost. Here we began to build homes and a community unto our
God and here I built an altar upon which to offer sacrifices unto the Most High.
Nevertheless, we did not understand the meaning of these sacrifices, but we did
all things according to the directions which we had received in the garden and
we were obedient unto Jehovah in all things, even as He had commanded us.
2. Being led by the Spirit of the Eloheim, I ascended also a mountain which rose
beside the plain of Olaha Shinehah from which I could overlook all the regions
round about and I blessed the land, dedicating it unto Jehovah, and I called the
land Cainan because Jehovah had given it to us.
3. Upon this mountain, which we called Ramiah, I discovered a cave of many
rooms. Here I placed the sacred things which we had brought out of the
garden--an apron of fig leaves, a branch from a tree whose blossoms never
withered and a stone of many colors which radiated Light in the darkness. these
I placed in a stone box, which we called the Testimony, and above it we carved
representations of the cherubim which guard the entrance to the garden. The
cave we called the Cave of Treasures, and here we resorted often to commune
with Jehovah and to reenact those sacred rites which the Eloheim had taught us
in the garden.
CHAPTER 3
1. THUS did our lives progress from day to day as we tilled the ground, built
homes, made clothing and other implements for our comfort and pleasure, and
learned to live in this new world to which Jehovah had led us.
2. After many days, when we were at the altar, offering up a lamb according to
the pattern which had been shown us, an angel of Jehovah appeared unto me
saying, Why dost thou offer sacrifices unto Jehovah? To this question I replied, I
know not, save Jehovah commanded me. then the angel spake unto me saying,
This sacrifice is in the similitude of the Only Begotten of the Father who is full of
grace and truth. Wherefore, thou shalt do all that thou doest in the name of the
son and thou shalt repent and call upon the Eloheim in the name of the son for
evermore.
3. Then the Spirit of Jehovah fell upon me, saying, I am the Only Begotten of the
Father from the beginning, henceforth and forever. Behold, even as thou hast
fallen, thou mayest be redeemed, and all mankind, even as many as will, may
be brought into my presence through the power of mine atonement, for surely I
shall walk upon the earth in the flesh, and give my life as a ransom for all who
will come unto me.
4. The did my soul rise up within me, and I blessed that God who gave me life,
calling upon Him in the name of His Only Begotten. And the Spirit of Jehovah
was in me so that I stood forth and prophesied concerning that which should
befall my posterity unto the latest generation. Yea, goo and evil were laid out
before me, so that I saw the come upon the earth, and I saw also the
redemption of all men and the final consumption when darkness will be swept
away forever. And I was led to cry out in the Spirit of Jehovah, Behold, now I
know that this same priesthood and Order which are in the beginning of the
world shall be in the end of the world also. For I have seen the Holy Order of the
Eloheim upon the earth in the end of time when the remnant shall come forth to
bear off the kingdom. Yea, Zion have I seen spreading abroad her dominion
among the pure in heart, that the heavens and the earth might be one again.
Then will the sons of men enter again the garden of delights; they will bathe in
the Eternal Sea and they will dwell in the presence of the Eloheim. Then will all
things become one, for the divisions between heaven and earth will cease and
the Christ will reign upon the earth for a thousand years. I saw also that the
earth should be redeemed and should enter into rest and, feeling within myself
the power of that redemption, I cried out, saying, Blessed be the name of our
God, for because of our transgression, our eyes are opened, and in this life we
shall know the joy of our redemption, for in the flesh we shall see and know the
Eloheim.
5. Then Eve, also, seeing and hearing what was done, being filled with the Spirit
of gladness, exclaimed, Were it not for our transgression, we never should have
had seed, and never should have known good and evil nor the joy of our
redemption nor the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient.
6. Hearing these words, the entire congregation arose as one man and burst
forth in blessing the name of the Eloheim, singing and shouting praises unto the
Name of Names. Then the voice of the Eloheim came unto me saying, Behold, I
am Jehovah thine Eloheim. I made the word and created the spirits of all men
before the world was formed. Yea, I am the Lord of spirits, the Ruler over all who
will come upon the earth. Behold, Adam, if thou wilt turn unto me, hearken unto
my voice. Believe on my name and upon the name of mine Only Begotten.
Repent of all thy transgressions and be baptized, even in water, in the name of
mine Only Begotten Son, which is Jesus Christ, the only name which shall be
given under heaven whereby salvation shall come unto the children of men, and
thou shalt receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Even so will I give this gift unto
everyone who cometh unto me and obeyeth mine ordinances. And if thou wilt let
this gift grow in thee, the day will come when thou shalt ask all things in His
name, and whatsoever thou shalt ask, it shall be given thee. This promise, also,
I give through thee unto all who will abide the conditions thereof.
7. Then I ventured to speak, even unto Jehovah, saying, Why is it that men must
repent and baptized in water?
8. And the word of Jehovah came unto me saying, Behold, I have forgiven thee
thy transgression in the garden of Eden. Nevertheless, inasmuch as thy children
are conceived in sin, even so, when they begin to grow up, sin conceiveth in
their hearts, and they taste the bitter that they may know to prize the good. And
it is given unto them to know food from evil, whereby they are made agents unto
themselves. Behold, I gave unto you laws when I placed you in the garden, but
ye transgressed those holy commandments and for so doing have been cast
out. Nevertheless, I have given unto you another law and commandment, even
at this time; wherefore, teach it unto your children that all men everywhere must
repent, or they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God, for no unclean thing
can enter into His kingdom, neither can an unclean man dwell in His presence.
Behold, is not Man of Holiness my name? And mine Only Begotten, even he is
the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, the Righteous Judge, who shall come in the
meridian of time to save all those who will believe on His name, keep His
commandments and receive His ordinances within themselves. Therefore do I
give unto you a commandment to teach these things freely unto your children,
showing them that as the Fall hath come upon you by reason of your
transgression, so doth every man fall within himself through failure to keep the
holy commandments. Even so, as death hath come into the world through your
Fall, in the like manner doth every man perpetuate that spiritual death through
his own transgressions. Therefore, inasmuch as ye are born into the world of
water and blood and the spirit which I have made, and so become of dust a
living soul, even so ye must be born again into the kingdom of heaven by water
and the Spirit, being cleansed by blood, even the blood of mine Only Begotten,
that ye, being sanctified from all sin, may enjoy the words of eternal life in this
world and eternal life in the world to come, even immortal glory. Yea, by the
water ye keep the commandment; by the Spirit ye are justified, and by the blood
ye are sanctified. Therefore, it is given to abide in you, even the record of
heaven which is the Comforter which testifieth of the peaceable things of
immortal glory, the truth of all things, that which quickeneth all things, sustaineth
them in life, for the Comforter knoweth all things and hath all power according to
wisdom, mercy, truth, justice, and judgment. And now, behold, I say unto thee,
This is the plan of salvation unto all men through the blood of mine Only
Begotten who shall come in the meridian of time. and behold, all things have
their likeness and all things are created or made to bear record of me, both
things which are spiritual, things which are in the heavens above, things which
are on the earth, things which are in the earth and things which are under the
earth. Yea, all things, both above and beneath, bear record of me and call upon
men to repent and come unto me, their Creator, that they may be saved.
9. Then I cried out unto Jehovah in the ecstasies of my soul, and being filled
with Light, I led my people to the water's edge where we knelt in prayer unto the
Eloheim. Many hours we prayed and praised the Eloheim in song and dance
and ecstatic utterances until the Light which surrounded us burst into flame and
a glorious being stood before us, clothed in Light, who uttered eternal words
which filled our souls with power. Calling me by name, he led me into the water,
but the water was to me a sea of Light in which I was immersed into unity with
the Son of the Most High and, as I came forth from the water, cloven tongues of
fire fell upon me and I was filled with the Light of Eternity. I felt the presence of
the Eloheim and I knew that I was returning to that holy state whence I had
fallen. In ecstasy, I called forth the others, who one by one entered the water to
receive the blessings. All that day and all the night, we rejoiced in the Light, for it
was all day to us as we were in the presence of the Eloheim where darkness
never cometh. And when we returned to our homes, we ceased not to call upon
Jehovah and to offer up our praises for the Light and the newness of Life which
had entered into us.
CHAPTER 4
1. EIGHT times since our leaving the garden had the moon become new, when
a son was born unto my wife Lilith. We all rejoiced at this appearing and on the
eighth day when I dedicated him unto Jehovah, I called him Cain, For, said I, we
have gotten a man from Jehovah. nevertheless, the countenance of my son
Cain was not like unto ours, for he seemed to have the mark of the satans upon
him, although this was not clearly visible to the outward eye. But I rejoiced in my
son and sought to raise him up unto Jehovah.
2. Other sons and daughters also bean to be born unto us, and soon the
laughter and cries of children filled our community. As our children grew,
however, we saw in them the signs of sin. This was a great sorrow unto us, for
our nature was to do good. Wherefore, taking Eve, my wife, I ascended to the
Cave of Treasures, where we worshipped before Jehovah, calling upon His holy
name, and even the Names of Names, that He should reveal Himself unto us.
3. And Jehovah spake unto me saying, Inasmuch as your children are
conceived in sin, even so doth sin conceive in their hearts, and they shall know
the bitter that they may know to prize the sweet. Nevertheless, if they will
receive me, even Jesus Christ, as their Savior, they will be born again, even as
thou, that they may be filled with Light. Behold, Adam, for this purpose didst thou
come forth from the garden, that thou mightest raise up a righteous posterity, an
holy seed unto my name. Then did Eve rejoice and was led again to exclaim,
Were it not for our transgression, we never should have known the joy of
redemption. And we rejoiced together before the Lord.
CHAPTER 5
1. FOUR years after the birth of Cain, a son was born unto my Eve, a son whom
we named Abel, for, said I, We see in our children the transitoriness of life and
the power of sin and depravity. Nevertheless, this son Abel was a source of joy
unto us, for he was filled with the Love of the Eloheim and true to the dedication
wherewith we did consecrate him unto Jehovah. After eight years, he was
baptized and entered into the covenant, in which thing we did rejoice, for we
knew that even in his youth he had been born of the Eloheim. From that time,
the gifts of the Spirit were manifested in him and he did begin to minister in the
power of the word unto his brethren and sisters. Nevertheless, many of them
rejected his words and they did revile him, laughing him to scorn. But Abel went
on in the integrity of his soul, bearing witness to the truth, and gathering into the
Church of the Anointed all those who would receive the word of the Eloheim,
repent of their sins, and come unto the Fathers to be baptized, that their sins
might be remitted by the power of the blood of Christ, for as yet none of our
children had received the holy priesthood.
2. But when Abel had reached the age of twelve years, he was received into the
Holy Order of the Eloheim, and at the age of fourteen, the priesthood of Elias
was conferred upon hi, that he might begin to serve the people in the authority
of the Most High. Two years later, he was ordained a priest and began to assist
at the sacrifices.
3. From his childhood, Abel spent much time with the animals which had
become attached to our community. He was gifted in working with them,
understanding and caring for their needs, for he could communicate with them
better than the remainder of the people whose ears had been closed to the
tongue of the animals when we had left the garden. In Abel, however, this gift
remained to a great degree; even the wild beasts of the field who feared us,
loved Abel and would frolic with him when he was alone. Often we marveled at
this evidence that the Light of the Creator had not completely departed from us
and our children.
4. Abel continued to grow from grace to grace; he was a joy to all of us who had
come out from the garden, and others of our children began to follow his
example, turning unto the Holy Order of God and growing in the Light of the
Anointed. Often, they would ascend together to the altar which we had placed at
the entrance to the Cave of Treasures to offer sacrifices unto Jehovah Eloheim
and to worship in His praise. We rejoiced in the growth of another generation
dedicated to the service of almighty God and carrying forth the traditions which
we had brought forth from the garden.
5. The remainder of our children followed Cain who had entered into a covenant
with Satan whereby he had become Perdition, the Master of the Lie, that great
secret by which they murder and commit all manner of abominations to get
unlawful gain. These had so perverted the truth as to offer sacrifices unto
Jehovah in the name of Satan, taking the fruit of the ground and offering it up in
an unholy parody of the holy ordinance. But the Eloheim would receive no such
offerings and the souls of Cain's people became ever more corrupt and ever
more chained to the powers of darkness and evil. In their wickedness, they
envied the joy of Abel and the children of Light, turning their hatred against them
because they lived at peace with the Eloheim and all the holy angels.
6. Now, in his twenty-ninth year, Abel received that More Sure Word of Prophecy
whereby he stood approved of the Eloheim, being received into the Order of the
Ancients, the Fellowship of the Fathers, that he might officiate in the Cave of
Treasures, for he was numbered among the Eloheim, having received of the
fullness of the Father through the grace of his Only Begotten. This was a time of
great joy to us, as we contemplated the growth of Zion among our children and
the expansion of the Holy Order of the Eloheim. When we considered Cain and
his brethren, however, our hearts were filled with sorrow, for they were lost in
depravity and wickedness of every kind which the human heart could create or
Satan inspire.
7. Our sorrow reached its nadir in the sixtieth year after our departure from the
garden. On a certain day, Abel and all his brethren, our children who followed
the Way of the Anointed, gathered before the Cave of Treasures to offer
sacrifices and rejoice in the mercies of Jehovah. Abel, himself, officiated at the
altar, then entered into the Holy of Holies to pray before the Testimony, where
the Presence of Jehovah dwelleth between the cherubim. During this solemn
time, while all knelt in silent meditation, the air was suddenly rent by savage
yells, as Cain and his wicked brethren descended upon the worshipers, their
heads shaven and their faces painted in the image of darkness. Brandishing
weapons of horror, they fell upon the worshipers, murdering them as their
prayers ascended unto heaven, spilling their innocent blood upon the ground, a
silent witness to the utter depravity of the sons of Perdition. Cain, himself,
rushed into the Holy of Holies, polluting that sacred ground by his very
presence, and fell upon Abel as he ministered before the Testimony, shedding
his innocent blood before the cherubim.
8. Then did the anger of Jehovah arise, and he spake from between the
cherubim. What hast thou done? He demanded. Why doth thy brother's blood
cry from under the altar against thee? Behold, is not his blood upon thy flesh, a
mark which shall not be eradicated until the end of time? Thou wicked Cain,
thou art Perdition and thy deeds shall follow thee for from thee shall flow murder
and bloodshed, wars and contentions, until the earth shall hide her face from the
wickedness and pollution of mankind. Depart from before my face, for thine
existence is a pollution to the sanctity of this spot. Nevertheless, no man shall
slay thee, for thou shalt live to see the full measure flowing from thine iniquity,
until the final destruction of the darkness of this world. Then a horror of darkness
fell upon Cain, so that he fled from the cave like a madman, fleeing the
presence of Jehovah, and his brethren in iniquity followed him unto a land east
of Eden which they called the land of Nod, for, said Cain, I have fled from the
face of the Lord.
9. When our children returned not from the Cave of Treasures, we ascended the
mountain, seeking our loved ones, our heirs in the Covenant. On that holy spot
where we had found such joy and happiness in the Lord, we were met with a
scene of total devastation. Every one of those who had been true to the
Covenant lay upon the ground, their blood spattered upon all the holy
instruments, staining even the altar of the Eloheim. Our cries rent the heavens
as we felt the anguish of a fallen world encompassing us, drawing us down into
the blackness of despair.
10. How long we lay in the horror of loss, we knew not, but slowly Light dawned
upon our weary souls and the voice of the Eloheim spake peace unto us. Lift up
your heads and rejoice, declared the word of Jehovah, for these have died in
their innocence, being sanctified by the blood of mine Only Begotten, and they
rest this day in Paradise, the first of your children to enter into my rest. Behold,
even as your children have been darkened by the power of darkness, even so
shall my Son be lifted up upon the cross; yea, in the meridian of Time shall it
come to pass, but out of defeat I create victory, saith the Lord Jehovah, for as
your children have opened Paradise as the abode of the righteous, so shall my
Son open the prison for the release of those who will accept his salvation.
Behold, I am God over all and all thins submit to me, both Light and darkness, in
mine own due time, saith the lord Jehovah. Then, the air was filled with singing
and angels ministered to us until our souls rejoiced in the glory of the Highest
and we were able to rise up and bury our dead unto Jehovah. Returning to our
lonely homes, we mourned our dead but our mourning was swallowed up in the
victory of Jesus Christ over death, for we had seen the power of the resurrection
over the cross and we understood the cross as the way of Life.
11. Thus we walked in Light, but Cain and his brethren walked in darkness and
anguish of soul. And Cain wrestled within himself, for the voice of Jehovah
continued to call unto him, Where is thy brother whose blood crieth unto me
from the ground for vengeance? To which Cain replied, Am I my brother's
keeper? Nevertheless, he knew that he was lost in darkness and his mind was
blighted and he became a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth, forever fleeing
his memories and the darkness which pursued him and grew within him. Amen.
CHAPTER 6
1. AMONG our little ones who yet remained was our son Timnor who was
blessed with great wisdom to understand the physical laws by which machines
might be created and governed. Timnor's sister Ammah was also blessed with
understanding, for she investigated the nature of life, unlocking the mysteries of
life itself.
2. When Timnor was eighteen years of age, he took Ammah to wife, she being
fifteen years. Nevertheless, although the Lord Jehovah had blessed these two
greatly with wisdom and understanding concerning the secrets of His creation,
they followed not after the ways of Jehovah their Eloheim, for they took glory
unto themselves, acknowledging not the Source of their power in the heavens.
3. In the one hundredth year, Timnor and Ammah led a group of our children
who, like themselves, worshipped the workmanship of their own hands and the
power of their own minds, out of the Land of Cainan unto a valley northward
which they denominated the Land of Haner, for, said they, here shall we throw
off the ways of our Fathers and follow after our own wills.
4. The people of Haner prospered in the land, building mighty cities in which
they dedicated themselves to the fulfillment of every physical desire, but their
souls were empty because they did not know the Lord Jehovah nor did they call
upon His holy name. Yea, Timnor built great engines with which to deface his
Mother Earth, defiling her for his unholy purposes. With other machines of his
contriving, his people flew through the air like birds and explored the depths of
the lakes and rivers. He created also great instruments of destruction with which
his people attacked the people of Cain, driving them into the mountains and
dense forests, that they might take their land for an inheritance. Thus did the
evils of private ownership of the land lead to war and destruction wherein one
people would destroy another to inherit their land and their goods, and the God-
given abilities of men were turned into instruments of death and destruction.
5. Ammah was not one whit behind her husband in creating wickedness, for she
manipulated the very fountain of life, until she had created new forms of beings
dedicated to evil and the destruction of mankind. From this time, sickness and
disease began to spread among the sons of men, bringing sorrow and death
upon them.
6. Our hearts were filled with sorrow as we watched the doings of Timnor and
Ammah and their brethren, for they were led ever deeper into the depravity of a
fallen world. Nevertheless, they came not near the Land of Cainan, nor were
their abominations introduced among us, for we walked in the ways of the
Eloheim and strove to raise our children in light and truth. We taught our children
the commandments which we had been given by Jehovah in the Garden and led
them in observing the times of worship and the fasts and feasts of Jehovah the
Lord. Every seventh day on the first day of the week, we ascended the hill
Ramiah to the Cave of Treasures where we worshipped before the face of
Jehovah and instructed our children in the principles of His gospel.
7. Thus our days passed in quiet happiness except when we thought of Cain
and Timnor and Ammah and their brethren who walked in darkness because
they would not receive the Light. Thus we prayed unto Jehovah our Eloheim for
mercy upon our children that a remnant might be preserved who would be true
to the covenant which we had received. And the world of Jehovah came unto us
saying, Behold, your seed shall stand until the end of the earth, for at the end of
time a remnant will come forth from among your seed who will bear off the
kingdom triumphant and establish my Zion, for the same Holy Order which
existeth among you will exist among them at the end of the world. Then in vision
I was the generations of our children stretching unto the end of time and I saw
the remnant who should be preserved to prepare the world for the coming of the
Lord in glory. Then I saw my people in their midst, for we rejoiced together in the
grace of Jehovah through the merits of his Only Begotten Son that wickedness
will be swept from the earth and the earth will become the abode of the Eloheim.
Our souls expanded as we saw these glorious things and we rejoiced before the
Lord Jehovah who is the Savior of His people, yea, even all those who put their
trust in him. Amen.
CHAPTER 7
1. AS our children grew to maturity and spread abroad throughout the plain of
Olaha Shinehah, the people of Cain and the People of Timnor began to come in
upon them, driving off their flocks and herds, stealing the produce of their
gardens and fields and killing any who sought to prevent them. Behold, most of
our children who remained in the land followed the teachings of their parents not
to fight, even when attacked by their brethren who had gone astray and
worshipped the Lie, or the workmanship of their own hands. Therefore, they
applied unto us for relief, for neither the people of Cain nor the people of Timnor
dare to come into the heart of the land to attack the Holy City where the Fathers
dwelt.
2. When the supplications of our children came up before us, we ascended the
Hill Tamiah unto the Cave of Treasures where we appeared before the mercy
Seat to seek guidance of Jehovah our Eloheim. Yea, we let our hearts and
minds flow together in one before Jehovah that we might part the veil to receive
His word. And the word of Jehovah came unto us saying, Arise and take all your
children who will follow you unto a land which I shall show you, a land of beauty,
a land fair to behold, where ye will be blessed and multiplied and protected
against the power of your enemies, for I will hedge up the way against them that
they shall not discover you while ye remain in righteousness. Go to, now, and I
shall go before you and I will be your rearward, and your children shall know that
the power of Jehovah is mighty to save. Then we rejoiced before the Lord
Jehovah and we descended the hill to bear this glad news unto our children.
3. Six times passed the moon through its phases while we prepared our people
for this great journey, until the Day of Trumpets, the day which Jehovah had
appointed, when all who would follow us had gathered together to the Holy City
and were prepared to be led whithersoever Jehovah would guide us. Many of
our children came not, being determined to fight for their homes and their goods,
but we knew it was better to follow Jehovah into the wilderness than to violate
the Law of Love in order to possess our property.
4. Many days we traveled through wild and virgin land until we came to a
beautiful valley, and the presence of Jehovah ceased to go before us for His
voice came unto us saying, This is the land which I have consecrated unto my
people that they should dwell thereon in holiness. Therefore did we call the land
Shulon because it was consecrated unto us by Jehovah. Then we worshipped
the Lord Jehovah and praised the glory of His might who preserveth His people
from the power of all their enemies.
5. In the one hundred and thirtieth year, a son was born unto us in Shulon, and
we called his name Seth because he was appointed of the Eloheim to stand in
the place of his brother Abel. And Seth grew up unto Jehovah, walking in the
footsteps of Abel, his brother, and of his Fathers who taught the way of heaven.
Moreover, his appearance was like unto that of his Fathers, for he could be
distinguished from me only by his age.
6. Behold, Seth followed not after the ways of the fall, but walked in holiness
from his youth, glorifying the name of Jehovah his God magnifying the Lord in
his soul. Wherefore, Seth became a great preacher of righteousness, declaring
the plan of redemption through Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, and
many of his brethren and sisters began to follow after him in observing the ways
of the Lord Jehovah. Thus did the Holy Order of God begin to be raised up again
among our children and the powers of the Eternal Priesthood were manifested
in their midst. Wherefore, we rejoiced in the mercies of the Eloheim, in the
evidence of their long-suffering and patience toward the children of men in
leading them to the power of salvation and endless lives.
CHAPTER 8
1. THE record of Corint the Scribe, which he wrote concerning the doings of his
fathers from the time when they departed from the land of Cainan to build a
great city in the land of Haner until Corint himself, hearing the preaching of my
Father Noah, was converted unto the Lord Jehovah and came to dwell with the
remnant of believers until he died firm in the faith of the Son of God. I, Shem,
have appended this record of Corint to the Book of Generations of Adam, for it
showeth the power of darkness upon the hearts of the children of men and the
love of God toward His children, even when they are lost in iniquity.
2. I, Corint, am the son of Selah, the son of Arphaxed, the son of Gorun of the
family of Lukas, the son of Timnor and Ammah who came forth from the Land of
Cainan, the land of our First Fathers, because they chose not to live according
to the Order of the Ancients. In this they were left free to follow the desires of
their own hearts, although their course was evil in the sight of the Eloheim, for
the Lord Jehovah hath made each man free to choose good or evil that by his
own works he may be judged.
3. Thus Timnor and Ammah followed not in the righteous way of their Parents
who had come out from the Garden, but built a great city of wickedness in which
they did practice abominations of every kind, for they knew no law but that of
their own creating and they sought only to serve themselves.
4. In the process of time, six sons were born unto Timnor and Ammah, even
Teshuesh who was expert in all the ways of governing men, keeping them
subject to his will, and he did become a king over the people; and Coriantumr
who sought to know the meaning of existence, leading a group of the people in
searching for the Unknown God, and they were called the Mysterfiers; and
Gringos who followed in the ways of his father Timnor, for he was expert with
every type of machine and created many marvelous works for the service of
mankind; and Tranter who learned the ways of his mother Ammah, for he did
manipulate the very nature of man and best to create new forms which God had
not ordained; and Lukas who was a man learned in all the learning of his
people, who traveled far abroad amongst all the children of Adam, learning of
their ways and gathering their knowledge home to his people where he created
a great center of learning to which multitudes came to inquire after the
knowledge of Lukas; and the sixth son of Timnor and Ammah was Samos.
5. It came to pass, as the people of Haner continued in their wicked ways, that
the judgments of the Eloheim began to fall upon them, for even in the second
generation, their lives were cut short through the evils of their doings, so that
their days were few and full of trouble. Nevertheless, except for the Mysterfiers,
who were few in number, they turned not unto the Eloheim in their time of
trouble, but unto the wisdom of their learned men. And in the seventieth year
before the Great Dispersion, the people rose up in anger because of the
plagues with which they were cursed, and took the king Teshuehs and slew him
because he did not free them from he plagues, and they chose Seth the son of
Lukas, a man known for his great wisdom to reign in his stead.
6. At that time, Abamah, the son of Teshuesh, who had become on of the
Mysterfiers and had been chosen as their high priest, came forth and rebuked
the people, for he climbed upon the great tower which was in the center of the
City of Haner, and he cried with a loud voice, and his words were carried
through their devices into every place among all the people. Wherefore, Abamah
said unto them, Hear my words, O ye people of iniquity, for ye follow not in the
ways of Eloheim of heaven, but the evil of your own doings hath brought your
sufferings upon you. Yea, ye work those works which are forbidden because
they bring only death and destruction, and ye boast in the greatness of your
power, but you power is dust and ye would leave the whole earth desolate if the
Lord God were not to intervene. But the Lord is over all, and He shall bring an
end to all your works, for when your iniquity is full, the Lord will bring in a flood
upon the earth which shall cover every abomination and wash the earth from all
iniquity. Repent, therefore, and turn unto the Lord God of heaven and earth, that
ye may not die but may live forever through the merits of His Son. Yea, for thus
did our First Fathers teach, that the Son of the Eloheim should come into the
world to redeem the people from their sins, and so did my master Coriantumr
teach me, for he journeyed even to the Land of Shulon to sit at the feet of Adam,
our First Father, to learn the Way of Salvation, and he did obtain a Priesthood,
that the powers of salvation might be in the midst of this people. Therefore,
repent, every on of you of your iniquities, and come forward to be baptized in the
name of the Only Begotten Son of God for the remission of your sins that ye
may receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
7. Nevertheless, the people were angry with Abamah because he boldly testified
against their iniquities, and they would have slain him, but his disciples plucked
him from the top of the tower and bore him away to a place of refuge. And
Abamah came no more to testify among the people, but he instructed many
disciples who bore the message of salvation throughout the land and many
souls were added to the number of the believers.
8. Preeminent among the disciples of Abamh was Palai, the son of Samos, the
son of Timnor and Ammah. This Palai became high priest of the Mysterfiers after
the death of Abama. It was during his days that the Mysterfiers built their great
temple in the city of Haner, for Palai came forth to minister among the people.
Yea, he went even into the presence of the king Coram, son of Seth, the son of
Lukas and denounced the iniquity of the people, for King Doram had declared a
great festival at which he could be proclaimed god of the universe and his
people the lord of creation. But Palai rebuked him saying, Thou abomination,
thou shalt lie as one dead for twenty years, yet thou shalt know all that
transpireth about thee and thy followers shall be unable to revive thee, that thou
mayest serve as a witness of the judgments of God against this people. And for
twenty years, King Coram lay as though he were dead and all their wise doctors
could not revive him.
9. And there arose a division among the people as to whether Coram should be
retained as King. Now the son of Coram was named Abel, and when he saw the
judgments of the Eloheim upon his father, he repented of his wickedness which
his father had taught him and went to Palai to become his disciple. And in
process of time, Abel became high priest in the place of Palai, and he went to
his father's court to teach the people the Way of Life. But there began to be a
dissension among the people and Canaan, the son of Pharaxes, the son of
Gringos, rose up against Abel and the Mysterfiers seeking their destruction. The
forces of Canaan were great for many of the people delighted in wickedness,
and it came to pass that twelve years before the Great Dispersion, Canaan did
enter the palace of Coram and killed him upon his bed where he had lain for
twenty years as though he were dead and Canaan had himself proclaimed king
over all the land.
10. Then did Abel and his people flee into the mountains where they had
prepared a city in the heart of the mount which they called Palai and there they
did establish a society according to the pattern of the First Fathers as it was
recorded in the book of Abamah, for they held all things common and dwelt
together in love and peace, maintaining unity with the angels and glorifying the
Eloheim. And because the people of Abel were faithful to the word of Jehovah
and dwelt apart, they were spared when the Great Dispersion came upon the
people.
11. For it came to pass in the days of Canaan the king, the wickedness of the
people of Haner grew so great that every man was against his neighbor, lovers
only of themselves, and even those of a man's own household would destroy
him to get gain for their own pleasure. Wherefore, there began to be civil strife
throughout the land and everything was in chaos. Then did the Eloheim raise up
prophets in the midst of the people, even Abdim the son of Coriantumr, the son
of Timnor and Ammah and Conan, the son of Peshar, the son of Lakan of the
House of Morenah, and Nimrod, the son of King Canaan. Now the people were
angry with these three because they did plainly denounce their sins; wherefore
all the people, of whatever faction, sought to destroy them, but the power of the
Eloheim preserved them through many dangers until they had delivered their
message throughout the land. Then these three men of God were taken by the
soldiers of the king and brought into his presence, who denounced them before
all the people, for the vision of it was carried throughout his domain, and Abdim
he slew with his own sword and Conan he consigned to the flames, all for the
amusement of his people, but Nimrod he cast into prison because he was his
own son and he would have persuaded him to renounce the Mysterfiers and
take up his kingdom.
12. But behold, in that night, an angel stood by Nimrod as he prayed in the
prison, who said unto him, Be of good courage, Nimrod, thou man of God, for
this night shalt thou see the deliverance of the Eloheim, for I shall lead thee from
this prison and from the top of the Hill Timnor thou shalt watch this whole palace
turn to dust as a witness against King Canaan and his abominations. Then the
angel, taking Nimrod by the hand, conveyed him to the top of the Hill Timnor
which overlooked the City of Haner. And behold, a bright light shone from
heaven, illuminating the whole palace of King Canaan, and a mighty noise from
heaven shook the air, and where the palace had been there was only dust. Then
the angel spake saying, Thus shall be the end of all who walk in the ways of
darkness, and taking Nimrod by the hand, he carried him to the City of Palai
where he became a disciple of Abel, learning from him the mysteries of the
Ancients that he might enter into the life of the Eloheim. And when Abel died,
Nimrod became high priest of the Mysterfiers, showing them the Way of Life and
Salvation.
13. Nevertheless, King Canaan was absent from his palace when it was
destroyed, for he was in a place where he resorted to celebrate because of the
death of the prophets. And he repented not of his iniquity, neither did his people;
wherefore, no man's life was safe, nor his possession. And it came to pass, in
the tenth year of the reign of Canaan that a war broke out among the people,
and marauding armies devastated the land. For two years, the people suffered
under great desolations, as one army, then Anoght gained dominion over
various parts of the land. At the end of two years, there was destruction
everywhere, and the people began to flee into the wilderness to escape the
wrath which had fallen upon them, until only a small number remained with King
Canaan in the ruins of the City of Haner. And the only city which remained was
the City of Palai, for the Lord Jehovah blessed the people of Abel that they
prospered and remained at peace.
14. From this time, the people began to count their years before and after the
Great Dispersion, for then were all things changed.
CHAPTER 9
1. THE people of the City of Palai waxed great for the blessings of Jehovah
were upon them; their pastors declared the word of the Eloheim and the
disciples hearkened unto their teachers and lived according to the Holy Order of
God. Yea, all the days of Nimrod were the Mysterfiers diligent to do all that their
prophets had taught them, and they did spread abroad from the City of Palai,
preaching the gospel of salvation through the name of Jesus Christ who should
come, so that many of those who had been scattered in the Great Dispersion
harkened to the word of the Eloheim, coming down in humility and contrition to
be baptized in the name of Jesus, that they might receive the remission of their
sins and the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Thus did the Mysterfiers become great and
powerful, and great wealth flowed into the City of Palai.
2. But it came to pass that after the death of Nimrod, Aziz, the son of Hombre,
the son of Corono of the House of Coriantumr, the son of Timnor and Ammah
became High Priest of the Mysterfiers. Now Aziz was mighty in preaching and
touching the hearts of the children of men, but he gloried in power and in riches;
wherefore he led the people astray into priestcraft and idolatry. Yea, the more
part of the people began to lust after the riches of men and to forsake the riches
of eternity, for only a few remained humble, calling upon the name of Jehovah,
and even these began to be persecuted by their haughty brethren because they
were, the more part of them, the poor and downtrodden. For the people of Palai
had forsaken the Holy Order of God and each possessed his own lands and
goods so that there began again to be poor among the people.
3. Then did the Spirit of Jehovah fall upon Zildah, the daughter of Phanuel, the
daughter of Mikal of the House of Phillias who dwelt in the City of Haner. And
she did stand up to declare the iniquities of the people, entering even into the
palace of Adam, the son of Toneros, the son of Salmon of the House of
Teshuesh, the son of Timnor and Ammah who reigned in the City of Haner,
crying repentance unto the people. But they laughed her to scorn, driving her
from the palace. Then entered Zildah into the marketplace each day crying
repentance to all who would hear. Few there were who hearkened unto her
words, but these few met together often to read the holy scriptures and speak to
one another of the hope of salvation through the grace of the Only Begotten Son
of God.
4. Then stood up Zildah the Prophetess as the believers met together and spake
unto them saying, Hear the work of the Lord, O ye who believe in His name;
salvation cannot come unto you except ye are brought down in penitence,
confessing your sins and forsaking them, that ye may enter the waters of
baptism and be baptized with fire and the Holy Ghost. Verily I say unto you,
these baptisms cannot come unto you except one among you be ordained unto
this power, to minister salvation to the souls of men. Therefore, let my daughter
Zildah go up to the Land of Shulon unto the First Fathers to receive from them a
Priesthood which is eternal, entering into the Mysteries of the Ancients, that she
may be redeemed from the Fall. Verily I say unto you, through the Fall came sin
into the world, and through sin cometh death, but I shall send mine own Son
after the manner of the flesh to be the messiah, for He shall come with healing
in His wings, to overcome the power of the Fall, to offer Life to all mankind. Yea,
he is the Light and the Life of the world, even the Eternal God, for in Him shall
the fullness of the Godhead dwell bodily. Therefore, let my daughter Zildah go
unto the Fathers to enter into the mysteries of the Messiah and receive His
redeeming, saving power, saith the Lord God Almighty, Creator of heaven and
earth. Amen.
5. Then did all the disciples rejoice in the word of the Eloheim and they spread
abroad the message of grace and peace through Jesus Christ, for some began
to hear the word and come down in the depths of Humility to be baptized for the
remission of their sins. And Zildah chose Luia the sister of King Adam to be a
pastor unto the people, for Luia was exemplary among the believers, excelling in
wisdom and compassion and the understanding of the holy scriptures. Then
departed Zildah from the land to go up to the Land of Shulon unto the First
Fathers, to obtain a Priesthood for her people which should be pure and
undefiled, a Priesthood with the power of sanctification and Eternal Lives.
6. And it came to pass after two years when King Adam died, that his sister Luia
and her husband Noah were appointed to rule over the people of the City of
Haner. Yea, Queen Luia and King Noah were devoted to the word of the
Eloheim and they did govern their people in equity and truth. Under their
government, the land began to be reunited and many of those who had been
scattered in the Great Dispersion united again with the people of Haner. And
they were taught in all the ways of the Eloheim and became a prosperous and
righteous people before the Lord Jehovah. But the people of Palai went on in
their iniquities, seeking gain for themselves, and they entered into an alliance
with the people of Cain, and Cain, that Son of Darkness who had become
Perdition, entered into the temple in the City of Palai where he ministered in
them mysteries of darkness, showing himself to be god through satanic powers.
And the people of Palai waxed greater and greater in iniquity, uniting in secret
combinations for power.
7. It came to pass, ten years after her departure from the City of Haner that
Zildah the Prophetess returned from the Land of Shulon bearing the Priesthood
of the Fathers in behalf of her people. Then were the disciples glad, for the Lord
ministered in their midst and they were raised up to commune with the General
Assembly and Church of the Firstborn and to enter into heavenly places while
yet in the flesh. For Zildah entered into the temple in the City of Haner which
had been built by Palai and his disciples, and she did stand forth with Zueen
Luia and King Noah before all the believers, sanctifying the temple to be the
House of the Eloheim, cleansing and rededicating it after the Order of the
Ancients. Then did the people rejoice in the grace of Jehovah who saveth His
people, opening before them the Way of the Eloheim.
8. The blessings of the Eloheim rested upon Zildah the Prophetess and Queen
Luia, for they did govern their people for many years, leading them in the Way of
Righteousness. And it came to pass, that after many years, Father Seth and
Father Enos did visit the people and bless them with the blessings of the
Fathers, even the Ancients of Days. And all the People of Haner rejoiced
together in the power of the Holy Ghost and glorified the name of the Eloheim.
CHAPTER 10
1. IT came to pass after the passage of many years, that King Noah died, and
he passed from the earth, firm in the faith of the Son of the Only Begotten of the
Father who is full of grace and truth; wherefore, we know that he entered the
Paradise of God to await that great day when the just shall rise to reign with him
upon the earth according to the promises of the holy prophets. Zildah the
Prophetess also died, but prior to her death, she called Nimrod the son of
Agoria, the son of Honato of the House of Samos, the son of Timnor and
Ammah to preside as Patriarch among the Mysterfiers. Nimrod was a righteous
man who loved Jehovah, his Eloheim, and rejoiced in the Mysteries of the
Ancients whereby the power of salvation is kindled in the souls of men.
Wherefore, Nimrod did preach reformation among the people of Haner,
continually calling them back to that pure order of life which had been taught by
the Fathers from the beginning. Canaan, also, the son of Seth, the son of King
Adam, who, with Zueen Luia, did rule the people of Haner, was a mighty
preacher of righteousness, leading the people in the ways of the Eloheim.
2. Now, the people of Haner did wax mighty in power over the forces of the
earth; wherefore, they did amass great wealth, even gold and silver and pearls
and precious metals and gems of every kind. Nevertheless, they did not covet
wealth for their own profit, but they did hold all things in common and did use
their wealth to beautify their temples and give glory to the Eloheim. But the
people of Palai, who had entered into covenant with Perdition, submitting to
those oaths of secrecy whereby they might murder and commit all manner of
iniquity to get gain, were desirous of obtaining the wealth of the people of Haner.
Therefore, they did come down in a mighty army against the city to take the
people into slavery and possess the fruits of their labors. But they understood
not that the Lord Jehovah would protect his people, for king Canaan, having the
gift of prophecy, foresaw the iniquity of the people of Palai; wherefore, he
directed his people in erecting great barriers of power around the city of Haner,
so that none could pass into the city without the consent of the inhabitants
thereof. Neither could any missile penetrate the forces which surrounded the
city.
3. Thus were the people of Palai amazed, when they came upon the city of
Haner, for all their devices could do no harm to the inhabitants of the city who
remained secure behind their fortifications. Nevertheless, the people of Palai
were expert in many devices, and there was one among them, even Leboa the
daughter of Tamar, the daughter of Rachel of the House of Onesima, who
devised a sword of light which penetrated the wall of defense around the city of
Haner and began to drain the power from the wall. When the people of Haner
saw this, they were in great consternation, but Queen Luia stood up in the midst
of the people, and notwithstanding she was bowed down with age, she exhorted
them to faith in the Lord Jehovah who would preserve his people from the
wicked ones. Then united all the people in fasting and prayer, and King Canaan
did enter with Nimrod the High Priest into the Holy of Holies where they did pray
unto the Eloheim; yea, even from three days were they offering up their prayer
while the people prayed without in the temple.
4. And on the third day, when they emerged from the Holy of Holies, Nimrod the
High Priest rose up before all the people and exclaimed, Behold, this day shall
ye see the salvation of the Eloheim, for they shall come forth in power against
the servants of darkness, and all people shall know that Jehovah, the Lord of All,
is El Shaddai, whose sword is mightier than all the weapons of men. Trust in the
Eloheim; know that they forsake not those who walk in the Way, for in all things,
the Eloheim shall be with you until ye rest in their bosoms at the end of time.
Then Nimrod and Canaan and Luia and all the people stood with their arms
raised to heaven, and from their hands flashed streams of fire. And where the
wall surrounding their city had almost disappeared, another wall arose in its
place, reaching even unto heaven and the weapons of the sons of darkness
could not penetrate it nor weaken it, for the power of the Eloheim was therein,
and the power of Light is greater than the force of darkness forever.
5. Then caused the Lord Jehovah to fall upon the people of Palai a plague, and
they were sore discomforted, for their priest could do nothing to alleviate the
plague. Wherefore, the army of Palai dispersed in confusion and when they
returned to their city, they overthrew Coran the son of Lamech who reigned over
the secret combination, but they ceased not from their iniquities, for they
continued to serve idol gods and powers of darkness, consorting with evil spirits
and devils and seeking power over the Light.
6. But the people of Haner, when they saw how the Lord Jehovah delivered
them, observed a great period of rejoicing, for they did sing and dance and feast
before the Eloheim for seven days, rejoicing in the saving power of El Shaddai
whose power of their God, to look upon the great wall which he had erected
about their city and to retell the tales of His deliverance.
7. Now, shortly after the defeat of the people of Palai, Queen Luia died, rejoicing
in her salvation, for she had seen her Savior and received from Him the promise
of Eternal Lives. And King Canaan with the High Priest Nimrod continued to lead
the people in righteousness. And they did dwell in peace, for all the lands round
about had heard how the Lord had discomforted the army of Palai, and they said
one to another, Let us go not up against the people of Haner, for the Gods of
that people are mighty who protect them against all powers which come against.
And many in the land round about joined themselves to the people of Haner and
the land prospered and the people dwelt in joy and the powers of heaven. And
many of the disciples journeyed up to the land of Shulon to commune with the
Ancients, entering into the mysteries of the Church of the Firstborn and returning
to bless the people of Haner with the powers of heaven.
CHAPTER 11
1. IT came to pass that ten years passed away after the defeat of the armies of
the Land of Palai by the force of El Shaddai, and people of the Land of Haner
began to forget the salvation of their God, for they began to be caught up again
in the ways of the world, seeking after riches and gain for themselves;
nevertheless, they followed not after the ways of the evil combination whereby
they murder and steal to obtain for themselves the labors of others men's hands.
But the people of Haner did seek to excel in the goods of the world, each
striving to possess that which was above his neighbor. Even in the church of
Christ which had been established throughout the land, the spirit of
possessiveness and the worship of riches took hold of the hearts and minds of
the people, such that many of them worshipped the Lord God with their mouths,
but their hearts were far from Him and they established their own ways in place
of the Holy Law.
2. But in the tenth year, on the first day of the Festival of the Victory, when
multitudes were gathered in the City of Haner to celebrate the destruction of the
armies of Palai and the salvation of the city, it came to pass the High Priest
Nimrod did stand forth in the midst of the people on the steps of the temple and
call upon them to repent and return to the ways of the Lord Jehovah. And these
are the words which he spake unto them.
3. My people, Ye know that on this day, ten years past, the power of the Highest
was manifested in the salvation of our city from the powers of darkness which
had come against it with the armies of Palai. Yea, that great city of Palai which
was built as a refuge for the believers in the True God and that Ancient Order
which we have received from our first Parents hath become the abode of devils
and the evil forces even now conspire therein to destroy all who follow after the
Light. But the power of El Shaddai is greater than all the cunning of the forces of
darkness and they cannot prevail over us while we remain firm in the covenant
of the Eloheim.
4. Nevertheless, O my people, a great danger lieth before this people who have
been so highly favored of the Lord Jehovah, for just as the holiest of cities,
Palai, hath become the abode of devils, so may any and every man fall into the
pits of darkness if he cleaveth to unto the word of the Eloheim. Even so hath
darkness begun to invade this land, for many of you follow after riches rather
than after the power of Elyon El, the Savior of His people. Ye love to be seen in
the assemblies of the righteous, but your hearts are set upon your wealth ad ye
spurn those who have not. Yea, ye say that they are sinners because the Lord
hath not blessed them with the same abundance as ye have. ye see not that the
Eloheim hath made you stewards over what hath been placed in your hands that
ye might use it to bless the Lord of Spirits.
5. Verily I ask of you, my children, will the Lord Jehovah bless you in this thing?
Nay, for ye show not that love which is the embodiment of the Eloheim, for
where love is not evident, there the Spirit of the Eloheim abideth not. This whole
people is in jeopardy because of the wickedness of love of self and worship of
possessions which hath entered among you. think ye that the power of El
Shaddai could be exercised in your behalf today as it was at the time of the
Great Victory? Verily I say unto you, nay, for the power is not in you, and Lord of
Glory cannot put that power into flawed vessels.
6. Think ye, my children, that ye can go your own ways and then turn to the
powers of heaven in your need, and they will be able to work through you? Nay,
but ye must return to that way of life which ye followed at the time of the Great
Victory, or the powers of darkness will yet come against you and ye shall be
overcome of them because your hearts are not right with Jehovah your Eloheim.
When our parents first came into this land, they were a lost and fallen people,
for they regarded not the might of El Shaddai but gloried in the might of their
own arms, for they were mighty in perversions of the right way, but when some
of their children repented and turned to the Lord of Salvation, they were
accepted of Him and the way was opened before them that they might return
unto Him. For the Lord Jehovah loveth all His children and He hath prepared the
way for their repentance and salvation through the merits of His own Son who
shall come to save the people were raised up in this land who could receive the
powers of heaven and we were saved in the day of battle, the day of YHYH
SABAOTH.
7. Turn you, my people; turn again unto the ways of Jehovah, that ye may again
be a delightsome people before Him, for the powers of heaven have dwindled in
you until your mortal souls are in danger of perishing, your nation destroyed,
and your spirits suffering the fires of hell because of your transgressions. Turn
you unto Jehovah, your Eloheim and put far from you the love of riches and the
trampling of your fellowman. Renew in you that Holy Order which our First
Parents established among themselves from the time when they were in the
Garden unto this day, that Holy Order which is followed by holy men who walk in
the Way and shall be unto the end. consecrate your substance unto the Lord
that there may be neither rich nor poor among you. Be united with your brethren
that your hearts and minds may be one, that they may be one with the Anointed,
that having put on His mind, ye may see as ye are seen and know as ye are
known. Dwell in righteousness, walking in the holy Law, that the Eloheim may be
in your midst, that ye may not be destroyed in the day of tribulation.
8. Yea, my people, come unto the feast of Jehovah, for he hath prepared a feast
of fat things for those who abide in His covenant. Know ye that the day of
judgment is at hand, when He shall separate His wheat from the tares, and
those whose hearts are not found in the service of the Highest shall be known.
Repent, and come unto the son, renewing in your souls the Light of His
salvation, that ye may not be lost at that day. Amen.
9. The power of the words of the High Priest Nimrod pierced the hearts of many
in the assembly and there was a great reformation throughout all the land of
Haner, for the word was carried throughout the land and the priests and
teachers did exhort the Church in every quarter according to the words of
Nimrod, that there might be a great renewal in the covenant. And I will show you
hereafter that all the words of Nimrod, that mighty man of the Eloheim, were
fulfilled, for there soon came a great day of judgment upon the people, and
those who had placed their faith in the God of heaven were preserved while
those who continued in the corruption of their own minds were subject to the
dark forces which came against them, and the power of the Eloheim was made
manifest for all to see. Amen.
CHAPTER 12
1. IT came to pass that Nimrod the son of Agoria, the high Priest after the Holy
Order of the Eloheim, waxed old and died, having spent his days in the service
of Jehovah, having fought a good fight against the powers of darkness, leading
his people to repentance and renewal in the Light. And it came to pass that
Indrush, the son of Nimrod, was chosen High Priest in his stead, he having been
a follower of righteousness from his youth, and having stood against the powers
of evil and set an example worthy of imitation. the wife of Indrush was Lytish, the
daughter of Canaan the king. She, too, was a devotee of the Holy Order of the
Eloheim, full of the power of the Holy Ghost, a mighty preacher of
righteousness.
2. Nine years after the death of Nimrod, King Canaan also passed into the world
of spirits, having spent his days in the service of the Most High. Prior to his
death, he had proclaimed Lytish and Indrush as the rulers of the people, and
they did reign in righteousness in the name of Jehovah their Eloheim.
Nevertheless, the more part of the people had become an hardhearted and a
stiff-necked people, slow to hearken to the word of Jehovah. Yea, they did
pervert the Way of the Eloheim, following after lasciviousness and every form of
vice, even erecting idol gods, the workmanship of their own hands, to justify
them in their iniquities. For there was no law governing what a person could
believe, but Indrush and Lytish did labor with them in the power of the Eloheim,
proclaiming the word of Jehovah and calling upon the people to repent and turn
to the true and living Savior.
3. Nevertheless, the more part of the people rejected the words of their rulers
and would not that they should reign over them, for they would have leaders
after their own hearts. Therefore, they did conspire together to overthrow the
government of the land, and they did enter into covenant with the people of the
City of Palai, taking upon themselves that combination which had been handed
down from Cain, whereby they might murder and steal and get gain. But Pagag,
a servant of Indrush, was privy to their plans, for his brother was a leader of the
insurrection, and Pagag was paid to kill the queen and king and was promised
great rewards for so doing. Pagag, however, went to the king and disclosed all
their secret plains as they had been made known to him, and the king and
queen consulted with their counselors, what they should do in this matter.
4. Now, they could see that they were in dangerous circumstances, for the
majority of the people had become enemies to righteousness. Therefore,
Indrush, the High Priest, did enter into the Holy of Holies, and there did call upon
the name of the Lord Jehovah, that he might know the will of the Eloheim in
behalf of his people. And the voice of Jehovah spake unto him from between the
cherubim, saying.
5. Hear me, O Indrush, mine anger is kindled against this people, for they are
lost in iniquity and have sold their souls to evil. yea, their hearts are hardened
against the truth. They trample upon the poor and think themselves happy
because of their great riches, but all these things shall be taken from them in a
day, for I shall remove all traces of them from the face of the earth. Take those
who will stand in my covenant, saith the Lord, and depart from this place, for no
many days hence, this city shall no longer encumber the earth. yea, gather thy
people, those whose hearts are pure, and go unto the land of the Fathers,
where I will bless you greatly, and when I shall lead you back unto this land, it
shall be unto you again a land of promise which shall be choice unto you and
your seed after you, for herein will the power of the holy gospel be poured out
upon your seed in mighty strength. Behold, I am Jesus Christ, your Savior and
your Redeemer; wherefore, follow me, my people, and ye shall not be
destroyed, but ye shall inherit Eternal joy. Amen.
6. Then Indrush, the High Priest, gathered together the people of the Church,
those whose hearts were firm in the covenant of Jehovah, and instructed them
to gather together their families and their goods, those they could carry with
them, and to prepare their vehicles to depart from the cursed city, for, saith he,
soon falleth the anger of El Shaddai upon this place, and naught shall be left to
bear witness thereof. On the fifteenth day of the First Month it came to pass that
King Indrush and Queen Lytish led their people forth, and it was on the eve of
the day which the evil combination had set for their destruction and the
destruction of all those who would not join their abomination. And those evil
ones, when they awoke to find the people of God fled from their midst, followed
after them, but the power of El Shaddai stopped their host and turned them
back, those who survived, unto their city again. And not many days thence, the
judgments of Elyon El were poured out on the City of Haner, that where it had
stood there remained naught to testify to its existence, and thus is the end of all
those who enter into covenant with the powers of darkness to fight against the
Holy Ones of Heaven.
