[Preface] [1 2 3 Jared] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Mohonri] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Moroni] [Pagag] [IAO]
[1] [2] [5] [10] [15] [20] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]
1. And it came to pass that as I, Mohonri, sat in deep meditation before the lord, his spirit fell mightily upon me and I perceived my soul ascending upward on the ladder of lights upon which I was privileged to travel through priesthood.
2. And it came to pass that as I ascended upward aeon upon aeon, veil upon veil, that I Mohonri beheld numerous abodes of both peace and pleasure, sorrow and pain.
3. And I saw the one balanced over against the other. -
4. And I beheld the justice of god in between the twos and the balances of the law of light wherein the hearts of the children of man are weighed and found wanting.
5. But I beheld the mystery of the messiah, that through his mercy the hearts of the sons and daughters of god were found upright.
6. And I beheld their impurity flowing forth from them unto the garments of the messiah.
7. And his raiment became scarlet like those that tread in the vine troughs.
8. And I saw till justice was appeased, and until the lamb of god sat down upon the right hand of the father.
9. And I beheld the books being opened.
10. The book of death and doom wherein were inscribed the names of the rebellious.
11. The names of the wizards, and necromancers, and of all the servants of sin.
12. And I beheld also the book of life and I beheld that it was in the hand of the messiah and that he alone inscribes therein the name of the justified.
13. And I beheld that there in there was but one name, that of Yeheshua the messiah the savior of men.
14. And I knew at that instant that only in that name was salvation possible.
15. And that only through taking upon themselves the name of the messiah could mankind be inscribed in the annals of light.
16. And I beheld the throne of god, mighty and terrible, flashing with rainbowed flame, crystalline like glass, yet flowing like roaring waves of flowing flames.
17. And round about the throne were four manner of creatures noble and grand.
18. And their wings stretched forth to the four corners of the universe, and they were woven of light.
19. And in them was the mystery of the revolution of worlds and of galaxies; and the grandeur of the heavens seemed contained in their outspreading.
20. And I beheld the creatures, that they were of diverse kinds.
21. And the first was a lion bedecked in purple and he had a crown upon his brow.
22. And I heard the voice of an angel, even Methatron saying:
23. Behold the kingship and rulership of god which spreadeth throughout eternity, filling all in all.
24. And I marveled exceedingly, for great are the dominions of the Elohim.
25. And another creature, like unto an eagle, and in it's talons a serpent.
26. And scarlet was the color of it's feathers, scarlet like the juice of the vine.
27. And I heard Methatron declaring: behold the destruction and resurrection of all things.
28. Behold, the mystery of change and transformation inherent in all things, through which the lord of the resurrection exalts the righteous and destroys the ungodly.
29. And I beheld that there in was the mystery of godliness as pertains to death and life, and the transition from one to another.
30. And I marveled exceedingly for such spread forth to the four winds and was inherent in all things great and small.
31. And again I beheld a man, or an creature after the appearance of a man, and in his hand a chalice, and out of the chalice floweth knowledge and light.
32. And the angels sayeth: behold the mercy of Yahweh who blesses all creation with goodness of his spirit, who sendeth unto man knowledge and light and the gift of universal brotherhood.
33. For all god's creatures are related one to another, having been created of him for joy and perfection.
34. And marvelous are the gifts of god forever flowing.
35. And again, I looked, and a creature like unto a bullock, strong and steadfast.
36. And upon his brow a jewel, and from the jewel sparkling the radiance of beauty.
37. And he that is called Methatron, even he who standeth before the throne of god, spake and said unto me:
38. Behold the sureness and steadfastness of god, who foundeth the world in wisdom and adorneth it with beauty.
39. Bedecking all creation in the allotment of his treasury, each according to it's nature, each according to their ability to receive.
40. And I saw the foundations of worlds without number, and innumerable gardens of Eden.
41. And I knew that the wisdom of god had set the foundations thereof and that Yeheshua the messiah was and is the chief cornerstone.
42. And I give thanks unto god.
43. And as I raised my voice aloft to bless his holy name, even as I opened my lips to speak, I heard the speech of the creatures praising and giving thanks to god, declaring his glory and his majesty, saying:
44. Kadush, Kadush, Kadush; holy, holy, holy art thou O lord god almighty; who is, and was, and forever shall be.
45. Blessed is thy name forever and ever.
46. And I saw the prince, Methatron, prostrating himself before the throne, and numerous concourses of angels doing likewise, all declaring the majesty and grandeur of god.
47. And I marveled greatly.
48. And as the ends of anthems of praise resounded in mine ears, I found myself again in the flesh upon this, the footstool of god.
49. And I gave thanks unto him who reigneth forever and ever for his mercy.
50. And I went away rejoicing, declaring unto all the blessings which await the faithful among men.
[1] [2] [5] [10] [15] [20] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]
1. Now the spirit expressly commands, that I inscribe upon these plates the twenty two sacred sermons delivered unto us by the twenty and two angels of god.
2. And hidden therein are the keys of light wherein the seven mysteries of the messiah are manifest.
3. Making them meaningful and understandable to the mind of man.
4. Now we did not all receive these sermons from the angels of god directly, for some being more quick and valiant in the mysteries, were blessed to receive such prior to others receiving them.
5. But we have hitherto been faithful in preserving them in our memories, for they are seared therein by god's holy spirit.
6. And we have been diligent in communicating the essence of these sacred sermons to those who later have proved worthy.
7. Nevertheless the god of heaven and earth moveth me that I should inscribe such upon these plates of gold for the benefit of future generations.
8. And I seek to be obedient in all things.
9. Now these are the twenty and two sacred and solemn sermons which we have received in the holy convocation of Elohim, wherein we have been instructed in mysteries of godliness, and edified by his servants and ministers beyond the veil.
10. Now I undertake not to transcribe the words of the angels verbatim but the essence of the same doth the spirit move me to record.
11. For it is given me to know that these sacred sermons, in contrast to the seven mysteries, are meant to be given in a manner that quickens the understanding of those that hear them.
12. Being replete with logic and explanation suitable to the understanding and capacity of those that receive them.
13. For they are given that the mind of man might understand the changes of his heart and soul that occurs through the seven mysteries of the messiah.
14. Now the first of these twenty two is the assembly explaining the mystery of god concerning the creation of something out of the void of nothing, and of the manner in which the Elohim create light in darkness and divide the day from the night.

Now that I have been obedient unto the word of mine god, and have inscribed those precious pearls of truth bequeathed to us herein, I feel that much of mine earthly labor is accomplished. For I know that through these things mine people have been prepared for all things, and have been given the keys whereby they might rise above she fall into a greater unity with the messiah who is our hope.
[1] [2] [5] [10] [15] [20] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]
1. Now I know that it is the desire of god that we yet journey onward across the "de expanse of these seas I - O a choice and promised land.
2. And I know that mine people are not yet fully prepared to enter such a place, nor are their souls raised to their fullest spiritual potential.
3. Wherefore I know that mine soul must exercise patience as we abide here awaiting the preparation of this people for this great voyage.
4. And I myself have come to a great plateau of peace r and inwardly am as tranquil as the early morning stillness .
5. That goal which I hitherto reached out unto, is accomplished; for I have delivered into my peoples hand the mysteries of godliness wherein they may find salvation.
6. And if mine hour of departure had come, and I could depart this moment beyond the veil,
7. Kissing goodbye the burden of my flesh in the kiss of death,
8. Then I would go in peace, filled with joy, for my soul has had it' s fill of this world and I yearn for another.
9. Yea, mine soul longeth for the continual presence of mine father above, and mine heart doth daily ache for a reunion once more with him.
10 O may the lord spare me the pain of separation from him for mine stay in this flesh seemeth as an exile from mine parents above.
11 despite the constant comfort of their spirit here below, and despite the love of god that existeth amongst this people.
12. O that mine lord would take me now, and say: it is enough, it is finished; come home Mohonri to the place of thy first and foremost love.
13. But alas, the spirit whispereth that there are yet things I must accomplice, things which I cannot as yet entrust into the hands of others to complete.
14. Wherefore I pray for strength from above, strength to continue in the flesh.
15. Strength to continue ministering unto mine people's needs, receiving light and truth for them through the veil.
[1] [2] [5] [10] [15] [20] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]
1. Now it came to pass that I found that I Mohonri was not alone in this feeling.
2. And it came to pass that all of us especially sorrowful for our return homeward unto heaven did meet together oft, supplicating heaven for strength to fulfill all our appointed days.
3. And we did fast and mourn before the god of heaven, comforting one another unto the limits of our covenants and contracts one with another.
4. And it came to pass that so great was mine sorrow, and so proficient my people in observing righteousness, that I ceased to call daily upon my lord and god, but did spend mine days in isolation, gazing out over the misty sea.
5. Wishing and longing for mine return homeward to heaven.
6. And whiles I was one day in the attitude of so sitting I began to realize the inappropriateness of mine actions.
7. How mine soul was not content to accomplish those tasks allotted to it, but longed simply for the easy road homeward.
8. And as I began to reflect on my noble ambition to return homeward, but my not so noble desire to shirk mine earthly responsibilities, the voice of the lord came unto me saying:
9 Mohonri, Mohonri, my son; and I said: here am I O lord.
10. And the voice of the lord spoke saying: Mohonri, the time for thy people's departure to a choice land is almost upon them.
11. Preparations must be begun for the voyage, and you yourself must needs rededicate thyself in prayer, for there is a serpent in Eden, and all is not as well as it appeareth.
12. Prepare for the dawning of the day of horns for it is almost upon thee.
13. And on the tenth day thereafter when thou annually ascendeth mine mountain, beware for ye shall leave behind thee a serpent, and shall ascend upwards into it's folds.
14. Prepare yourself, for are you indeed ready to leave behind thy people?
15. Afterward my mind was perplexed by the things spoken unto me.
16. And I did not under stand the allusion to the serpent below and the serpent above.
17. Though I knew from the solemn sermons of the angels, that there was a serpent of sin below, and a serpent of salvation above.
18. Nevertheless I began to prepare myself and mine people for the days ahead and I did pray with and preach to them oft.
19. And the days of weighing and of the blowing of the horns of redemption hastened upon us.
20. Now as was our custom upon the day of trumpets, we as a people assembled at the foot of the mount of god and rededicated our souls to the service of god and to the laws of light.
21. Which laws were want to read aloud and respond to each with amen.
22. Binding ourselves under an oath and covenant to observe them continually.
23. And on the ensuing days of sorrow and repentance preparatory to mine ascent, we supplicated god daily, praying for forgiveness and mercy.
[1] [2] [5] [10] [15] [20] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]
1. Now it came to pass that in the fourth year since our arrival at the great sea, in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, I Mohonri ascended upwards the mount of Shulem to pray for thine people and petition the Elohim for priesthood renewal.
2. And at each level I was instructed by angels, according to the goodness and righteousness of our people, or according to the inappropriate actions we engaged ourselves in from time to time.
3. And it came to pass that as I kneeled in the highest degree of priesthood, under the sign of that office, that the lord appeared unto me in a cloud, and talked with me for three hours.
4. And the lord himself did rebuke me for my slothfulness in prayer.
5. For I had not been as diligent in calling upon his name for the sake of my people as I should have been, and I was sorely repentant.
6. And I didst importune the lord for mercy, for his love is endless, and Yahweh spoke saying:
7. I will forgive thee and thy brethren of their sins, but thou shalt not sin any more, for ye shall remember that my spirit will not always strive with man.
8. Wherefore, if ye will sin until ye are fully ripe ye shall be cut off from the presence of Yahweh.
9. And these are -my thoughts upon the land which I shall give you for your inheritance, for it shall be a choice land above all other lands.
10. As the garden of Eden shall it be unto thee, and unless my people are more diligent in prayer, they shall surely fall.
11. For I guarantee unto no man perpetual redemption from the fall unless they continually strive for holiness and remember to call upon mine name in prayer.
12. And Yahweh said: go to work and build after the manner of barges which ye have hitherto built, for they shall be a home unto thee throughout thy voyage unto Eden, and temples before me if ye abide therein in purity.
13. And we did diligently labor in the construction of the barges, and we designed all things after the pattern revealed me on mount Shulem.
14. And the vessels were small and light, and did float easily upon the sea.
15. And we did pitch them within and without that no water might enter within them.
16. And we sealed them over so that no mighty wave could enter in.
17. And the ends were peaked upward unto god, and the entrance also was tight, and we sealed such after our entry.
18. And after we had constructed eight such vessels unto the lord, even sufficient for all of the people, I again ascended the hill of the lord.
19. And one full year had we labored in the construction of the vessels or barges, and on the mount Shulem I again besought the lord my god saying:
20. O Yahweh, thou who dwelleth in the perfection above, I have performed the work which thou hast commanded isle, and I have made the barges according as thou hast directed me.
21. And behold O lord, in them there is no light, whither shall we steer?
22. And also we shall perish for in them we cannot breath, save it is the air which is in them, therefore we shall perish.
23. And the lord addressed me saying: behold, thou shalt make a hole in the top, and also in the bottom, and when thou shalt suffer for air thou shalt unstop the hole and receive air.
24. And if it be so that water come in upon thee, behold ye, shall stop the hole, that ye may not perish in the flood.
25. And I did even as instructed of the Elohim, and once again I ascended and addressed god:
26. 0. Lord, behold I have done even as thou hast commanded me, and I have prepared the vessels for my people, and behold there is no light in them.
27. Behold O lord, wilt thou suffer that we cross this great water in darkness?
28. And the lord spoke unto me saying: what will ye that I should do that ye may have light in your vessels?
29. For behold, ye cannot have windows, for they will be dashed in pieces, neither shall ye take fire with thee, for ye shall not go by the light of fire.
30. For behold, ye shall be as a whale in the midst of the sea, for the mountain waves shall dash upon you.
31. Nevertheless I will bring you up again out of the depths of the sea, for the winds have gone forth our of my mouth and also the rains and the floods have I sent forth.
32. And behold I prepare you against these things, for ye cannot cross this great deep save I prepare you against the waves of the sea, and the winds which have gone forth, and the floods which shall come.
33. Therefore what will ye that I should prepare for you, that ye may have light when ye are swallowed up in the depths of the sea?
34. And I spoke unto the lord saying: behold O lord, is it not written amongst our records, that Noah and his family did take with them glowing stones wherewith they did see, for it is said that they shown forth in the day and were dim in the nights.
35. And as eight souls entered into the salvation of the ark, so hast thou had us construct eight vessels, that therein thy people might abide united even as one, as ye voyage across the great deep.
36. Tray it please thee oh lord, to re-enact to whatever degree seemeth good to thee, this ancient occurrence.
37. And as Noah had glowing stones wherein he and his did see, so also may we see?
38. And the lord said unto me, go and prepare ye stones that I might cause them to glow forth light unto thee within the barges which I have instructed thee to prepare.
[1] [2] [5] [10] [15] [20] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]
1. And I knew not where to discover such stones, neither did the lord make it known to me, wherefore I descended unto my people, and we did fast and pray for guidance.
2. And it came to pass that he spirit led me unto a portion of the cave of Adam, and therein was much ore, even gold.
3. And amidst the golden acre were crystals of clear glass and we did labor much in removing such from the mount.
4. And we did build bellows to molt the ore, and I did remove from the ore the crystal stones.
5. And they were sixteen in a manner that seemed suitable O me, and they were not large, inasmuch as I could carry them in mine hands.
6. And I took them upward fore the lord mine Elohim, and I cried saying:
7. O lord, thou hast said t we must be encompassed about by the floods.
8. Now behold, O lord, and do not be angry with thy servant because of his weakness before thee, for we know that thou art holy and dwelleth in the heavens, and that we are unworthy before thee, and because of the fall our natures have become evil continually.
9. Nevertheless O lord, thou hast given us a commandment that we must call upon thee, that from thee we may receive according to our desires.
10. Behold O lord, thou hast smitten us because of our iniquity, and hast driven us forth, and for these many years we have been in the wilderness; nevertheless, thou hast been merciful unto us.
11. 0. Lord, look upon me in pity, and turn away think anger from this thy people, and suffer not that they shall go forth across this raging deep in darkness, but behold these things which I have molten out of the rock.
12. And I know, O lord, that thou hast all power, and can do whatever thou wilt for the benefit of man, therefore touch these stones, O lord, with thy finger and prepare them that they may shine forth in darkness.
13. And they shall shine forth unto us in the vessels which we have prepared, that we may have light while we shall cross the sea.
14. Behold O lord, thou canst do this. We know that thou art able to show forth great power, which looks small unto the understanding of men.
15. And it came to pass that as I said these words, that behold, the lord stretched forth hid hand and touched the stones one by one with his finger.
16. And as the lord did stretch forth his hand I, Mohonri, had the veil with drawn from betwixt me and the hand of the lord.
17. And I saw the finger of god, even like unto the finger of man, like unto flesh and blood.
18. And I didst become overcome with fear, and fell down as dead before the lord my god.
19. And the lord beheld me fall unto the ground, and knew the cause of mine consternation, nevertheless, he did say unto me: arise, why hast thou fallen?
20. And I arose and said: I saw the finger of the lord and I feared lest I be smitten, for I knew not the lord had flesh and blood.
21. And Yahweh said unto me: because of thy faith, thou hast seen that I shall take upon he flesh and blood, and thou hast not seen me in the present but in the future.
22. And never has man come before me with such exceeding faith as thou mast, for were it not so ye could not have seen my finger; sawest thou more than this?
23. And I answered: nay, lord, show thyself unto me.
24. And the lord said to me: believeth thou the words which I shall speak?
25. And I answered: yea, lord, for I know that thou speaketh the truth, for thou art a god of truth, and canst not lie.
26. And as I said these things, the lord opened himself up unto me, and I beheld his grandeur and majesty, and he spoke unto me saying:
27. Because thou knowest these things ye are redeemed from the fall, therefore ye are brought back into my presence, therefore I show myself unto you.
28. Behold, I am he who was prepared from the foundation of the world to redeem my people.
29. Behold I am Yeheshua the messiah.
30. I am the father and the son.
31. In me shall all mankind have light, and that eternally, even they who shall believe on my name, and they shall become my sons and my daughters.
32. And never have I showed myself unto man whom I have created, for never has man believed in me as thou mast.
33. Seest thou that ye are created after mine own image?
34. Yea, even all men were created in the beginning after mine own image.
35. Behold, this body, which ye now beheld is the body of my spirit.
36. And man have I created after the body of my spirit, and even as I appear unto thee to be in the spirit, so will I appear unto my people in the flesh.
37. But unto that day I shall manifest myself unto man through mine priesthood.
38. For so have I raised up thee and others to be ministers of mine hand, to give unto man mine ordinances and prepare fallen man for redemption in me.
39. Wherefore it must needs be that I be always with mine people, both in the spirit world in the flesh.
40. And I appear in the flesh prior to mine actual entry into the world through mine ministers in the priesthood.
41. For upon these have I given power to represent me in all things, and upon thee place I my name.
42. And it came to pass that the messiah did lay upon me his holy hands, even those hands which would one day be pierced and bleed for all mankind.
43. And I Mohonri was sealed up unto god, and became his seed in priesthood.
44. And I received an anointing of light descending upon me from the mercy of the messiah.
45. And after mine anointing and sealing, the lord spoke unto me saying:
46. Behold, thou hast been sealed up especially unto me, and I have written upon thy brow mine holy name.
47. Wherefore thou art to be as me. Representing me personally in the flesh.
48. And they that gaze upon thee shall gaze upon me, for upon thee is mine name engraved in letters of living fire.
49. I have made thee as a god unto thy people, ask what thou wilt, and it shall be given thee.
50. And I Mohonri messiah, said unto the lord:
51. Behold O lord, if I am indeed to represent thee in the flesh, reigning as thy son on the earth, then let it please thee to initiate me further still into thy mystery.
52. And the lord said unto die: according to thy desire, so I reveal myself more fully unto thee.
53. And I Mohonri beheld the mystery of the messiah, amid that mystery was the mystery of love.
54. And it was revealed unto me in twelve distinct revelations, each partakers of he same nature as all the others, yet diverse from them.
55. And I saw and heard many unspeakable things, things I never would have perceived.
56. And the vision closed, and as it closed the lord said unto me:
57. Behold, thou shalt not suffer these things which ye have seen and heard to go forth into the world, until the time cometh that I shall glorify my name in the flesh, for they are reserved even until that time.
58. Wherefore, ye shall treasure up the things which ye have seen and heard, and show it to no man.
59. And behold when ye shall come unto me, ye shall write them and shall seal them up, that no one can interpret them, for ye shall write them in a language that they cannot read.
60. And behold, these two stones will I give unto thee, and ye shall seal them up also with the things which ye shall write.
61. For behold, the language which ye shall write I have confounded, wherefore I will cause in my own due time that these stones shall magnify to the eyes of men these things which ye shall write.
62. And after the lord had so spoken he showed unto me, Mohonri, all the inhabitants of the earth which had been and also all that will be.
63. And nothing was witholden from mine sight, even unto the ends of the earth.
64. And it was shown unto me many mysteries. Both of creation and destruction, and I beheld multitudes of wonders, and I marveled greatly.
65. And all these things did I behold because of the mercy of the messiah, for aforetime he had said unto me that if I would but believe in him, he would show unto me all things, witholding nothing, and surely the promises of god are steadfast and his word impeccable and sure.
[1] [2] [5] [10] [15] [20] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]
1. Now I, Mohonri shall speak a few things upon the revelation of Jesus Christ, wherein he did show himself unto me, and also a multitude of inhabitants.
2. Now it came to pass that after he said: look; I looked and beheld a multitude of men and women, even myriads upon myriads of souls.
3. And they dwelt upon an earth like unto this earth, yet it was an earth clear as crystal and alive with an inward flame.
4. And I beheld that it was as a sea of glass and pure white fire, and that such, was as a Urim and Thummim to all who dwelt therein, and I greatly marveled.
5. And I beheld round about the crystalline and peopled sphere was a wall of clouds which did contain the glory of that orb, lest it burst forth and destroy the worlds.
6. For I beheld also innumerable creations like unto this first creation, yet of a lesser magnitude.
7. And I beheld thrones and dominions thereon, and to each was allotted a ruling council, and upon these were some greater and some of a lesser degree of intelligence, and I yet marveled.
8. And the savior said unto me: behold; and I did again see the first and foremost orb wherein celestial beings resided.
9. And he said unto me: this is the seed world, and the parent world of all other worlds.
10. From hence was all material creation emanated, and unto it shall all return.
11. Hidden herein is the power of order and government, as pertaineth unto celestial bodies. -
12. And from hence flows forth the essence wherein all the universe revealeth and rolleth upon her wings of spiritual wind.
13. And he also showed unto me the inhabitants of that sphere, who were and are as gods and goddesses, who rule in the midst of eternities.
14. And I beheld also other creatures of diverse form and color, even all manner of fish and fowl and beasts of the forest and shore.
15. And I beheld that the sphere was as an garden, even an garden of Eden wherein all manner of fruit and flower did abound.
16. And all that I did see did glow and pulsate with a pure and brilliant fire, and there was much glory there; and thus I marveled still.
17. And I beheld there innumerable hosts of exalted beings, and the savior said unto me: these are they that have created the offspring of the gods.
18. Here are the originators, these are the firstborn.
19. They have united themselves through earthly trials, and have formed themselves into an unified body self existent throughout all eternity.
20. You and I are of their number, and have taken this earth as our share; to be saviors upon mount Zion, and I a savior among saviors.
21. And all these others you have seen, these are they that proved not so valiant hitherto, and who attempt to exalt themselves still higher through service to their fellow beings.
22. These are the servants of Yahweh and the Elohim, and to these are entrusted the administration of lesser worlds.
23. Into their care also are given the spirits of the gods, even heavenly offspring who have begun their long pilgrimage downward into matter, world upon world, kingdom by kingdom.
24. And thus is the progression of the seed of the gods slowly removed from the pure and white light, and taken downward into matter.
25. Others also are ascending, having proven valiant in any one particular kingdom, they are blessed to enter a higher world to further progress from the material toward the spiritual.
26. I am the rock of heaven.
27. I have overcome all things.
28. I exist for the exaltation of man and beast, and through me transition is made possible from one orb to another, and am master of both hatter and spirit, and all that lieth in-between.
29. In the beginning I had a brother, and he is now called Lucifer, the shining one who rebelled and fell.
30. And unto his hand is given the power to cause descention from the spiritual unto the material.
31. And into mine hand is given the power to raise aloft that which is fallen, to purify and restore such.
32. To those who become perfectly one in me, the transition is swift and peaceful.
33. For they less faithful, the journey is arduous and long, beset with innumerable trial and testing places, and innumerable heavenly hosts; archangels and angels through whom they arise, through obedience to law.
34. And angels also, in assisting me to exalt the less faithful and believing, are themselves exalted through their service unto man.
35. Wherefore all things are created and made, and bear witness of me.
36. Those who love me serve me, and those who serve me become me.
37. I am alpha and omega, spirit and matter, in me all contradiction hath an end, and in me all contradiction begineth.
38. Into your hand I entrust this knowledge, that therein thou mightest choose the quicker road, and thus prove a more profitable assistant to me in this great and marvelous work of redemption and purification.
39. And I said unto him: how is it that such great power resides in thee, and how is it that through thee transition from globe to globe and glory to glory is possible?
40. And he said unto me: I am the law and the light.
41. I am eternal love.
42. Through me all mankind are redeemed from the fall, even as many as will hearken.
43. In me is all power and life, and I bequeath such unto all creation.
44. Through me the seasons renew themselves, and from me the seed derives power to live and come to be a plant.
45. I am in the essence of fire, I am the creation of stars and galaxies.
46. Through me men are born, through me men are resurrected.
47. I am the way, the truth and the life, and it is I who stand at the door, beckoning unto all who would enter.
48. I am the door between worlds, the passageway between kingdoms of a lesser grandeur and orbs of a mightier grandeur.
49. Through my mystery all is accomplished.
50. Through ordinance all man kind come under the shadow of my wing.
51. The universe is founded on law, yet I am that law, both superseding and yet abiding within it.
52. I am eternity.
53. And I said unto him: how is it lord that ordinances make it possible for men to progress in glory and light?
54. And he said unto me: because therein there is glory and light, for I am hidden therein, and through them my light is revealed.
55. I took my glory in the beginning and secreted it and hid it away in the ordinances and mysteries of light.
56. And this I did that it might not destroy the universe, for that light is pure, and no unclean thing can abide it's presence.
57. Wherefore I did take a greater measure of mine light and did hide it in the greater mysteries of the light, and I did take a lesser measure, and hid it in the lesser mysteries of light.
58. And all this that man kind would not be destroyed, but could arise grace for grace and ordinance upon ordinance, and thus not choke on meat, but feed on mothers milk until they be ready for greater things.
59. And I said unto the savior, how is thy light hidden, and how is it revealed and utilized by man?
60. And he didst speak unto me saying: all creation, all that moveth is alive, and existeth and moveth because of my light trapped therein; this is my light trapped in matter, which some call nature.
61. It's destiny is to slowly purify matter, and the time is uncountable to man.
62. Yet within the ordinances of salvation a more potent light abides, for the light therein is not so diffused as in nature, but is of a highly concentrated form.
63. The deeper the mystery the greater the intensity and mass of spirit therein.
64. When man receiveth ordinances, man must become that ordinance, and in so becoming places himself in a position to receive an influx of light.
65. According to the quality of the receptacle, so shall the allotted amount of wine be poured.
66. But wine must remain bottled, else it spills and returns to the earth.
67. So also mine light hidden in ordinances must needs be contained by the bottle of that ordinance, or else by man.
68. If not, then the light hidden in ordinances would diffuse itself back into the immensity of the universe as a whole.
69. Long did I labor in the accumulation and concentration of light through law, and I have contained the fruit of mine labors within the mysteries of godliness that thereby man might be exalted.
70. If man chooseth to set aside the fruit of mine labor, then man must himself accumulate unto himself sufficient light in which to redeem himself.
71. And how can man accumulate light save through law?
72. And how can one live the laws of light without loving light?
73. And if one loves light one will love me, for I 'am light.
74. Wherefore we shall be intone, and my gift is given.
75. And when one receives the gift which I offer, then cone is exalted, for mine gift unto man is life eternal, is life everlasting.
76. My gift is perpetual joy and unendless peace;
[1] [2] [5] [10] [15] [20] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]
1. And the lord said unto me: write these things and seal them up, and I will reveal them in mine own due time unto the children of men, even after mine appearance in the flesh.
2. And the two sacred sapphires I was also commanded to seal up, showing them not unto man, even until the lord deem it proper so to do in his infinite wisdom.
3. And the lord did command me to return to my people and enter the cave of Adam and there take the ore from whence was derived the six teen stones, and by the light of those stones write the things which I have seen and heard upon plates of gold.
4. Sealing such up, together with the two sacred sapphires given unto me on the mount, until the lord come in the flesh and shed his blood for the sins of fallen man.
5. And I did as the lord commanded me, and was one full year inscribing upon the plates of gold the vision and revelations of god wherein are hidden all the mysteries of the messiah.
6. And I understood that even as the messiah was to be the first fruits from the dead, so must he be also the first to participate in these mysteries upon the earth.
7. Wherefore, they have been reserved until his incarnation in the flesh.
8. And it came to pass that as I labored to engrave the twelve mysteries of the messiah on the plates of gold, and as I transcribed the essence of the thirty holy convocations of his mercy, mine people prepared all things for the voyage.
9. And upon the day of atonement I took upwards unto the top of mount Shulem the sacred engravings of Elohim, with the two sapphires, and I presented such unto mine father in the priesthood.
10. And he received them with satisfaction, and I returned to mine people below.
11. And I received on the mount of god permission for our departure, and all our provisions and preparations were acceptable unto god.
12. And we carried them in to the eight barges wherein the sixteen small stones did illuminate the darkness therein.
13. And on the fourteenth day of the seventh month, when the moon was full and the sun in the sign of the balance, we entered the sacred vessels which we had consecrated unto god.
14. And we entered upon the covenant of priesthood, and we dedicated ourselves unto he who had created us.
15. And we set ourselves adrift upon the wine dark sea, trusting wholeheartedly in the lord our god; full of anticipation for the promised land that lay before us, and replete with thanksgiving for all the blessings which we had received in the past.
16. And we gave praise and did pray unto the most high day and night.
17. And the stones did shine forth their light, and our hearts were filled with the love of god, and we did rejoice exceedingly day and night.
