Five


1

Hear me, O men of Israel:
the eternal King reigns!
And even as the sun looks down upon the lands,
so too does YHVH see you, Judah.

2

You call yourself His bride,
yet you are a mistress unto harlots,
and so then shall you come to naught,
falling to ruinous misfortunes;

3

But in your suffering,
you shall have fame in later generations,
and even into distant lands.

4

And those that shall escape this suffering
shall be sent to prosperous lands
that mankind had not known.

5

And with a purple robe,
mighty, just, and in His fierceness
shall the Son of Man come to your children’s children
after the quaking and the thunderstorms.

6

Those of an evil yoke shall be destroyed,
and after shall YHVH descend in His mercy.

7

But first
shall the soil of these distant lands be wet with blood and rain,
for your seed shall drink much murder.

8

And the righteous will rejoice,
for they shall be spared,
and YHVH having destroyed the king of death,

9

Yet so shall it be
that in the third and fourth generations
that man's offspring shall perish,

10

For they shall forget
all that their fathers and their mothers had seen
and born witness to.

11

And then
shall that adversary bring back the secret combinations of Cain,
and Sodom shall again rise against the house of Israel.

12

Reject the adversary, O Israel!
Reject the false traditions
carried in by the winds
from foreign lands!

13

Remember the words of Asyma,
standing in the temple in Jerusalem,
to Her Israel,
yea, even the divine mother who does say:

14

Enter into the Presence here
in this temple of holiness,
in worship of YHVH,
in respect for thyself,
and all that herein dwell.

15

For I need not thy devotion,
but thy sincerity of heart,
for it is truth that shall purify thee.

16

Yea, it is not thy understanding
that hath brought thee unto this house this day,
but thy thirst for knowledge and wisdom, and understanding.

17

Enter not by thy fears,
not by thy sins,
not by thy hatred,
but with a broken heart and a contrite spirit;

18

That through the mercy of YHVH
these impurities shall be cut out,
and this that you shall find strength.

19

You may look upon me as thy Mother,
and as thy Sister,
and as thy Wife,
and as thy Daughter,

20

But look not upon me as one to look down upon
or that should look down upon thee.

21

Yea, I am the very Presence of Elohim;
the devotion you have for me,
is it greater than that which you have for the Breath
that is within you?

22

Behold, if you should be offended of these,
you do offend Unity,
who is YHVH.

23

If you should be One
and stand in the Presence,
it is understanding that you shall take with you.

24

Wherefore, I say unto you:
Enter this house this day with respect
for all those that dwell herein,
and for yourself;
do this and it shall be well for you.

25

I will speak freely to you,
and I will give you the sayings of El Elyon
that you may share them among you,
though they will be mocked and scorned by you.

26

Yet all those who would understand will know and share them
as parables to teach all that would listen,
and as riddles to those that would hold fast to truth.

27

And all those who would infiltrate the hidden mysteries,
all those seeking the beginnings of knowledge,
even those who would hold fast to the secret pleasures;

28

These shall know truth when they find it
and shall teach truth in ways understood by the Godly.

29

And all those who will walk in simplicity
will know the path,
while those who are devious,
those with stiff necks, with hard hearts,
those who do lay with the harlot,

30

These are the customs of fools,
and they will lose the inheritance of Israel.

31

What good is the secret of YHVH?
The mystery of the wisdom of Shekinah?

32

All who search for the beginnings of knowledge,
do you seek wisdom?
What is understanding to you?

33

Why is the heart sought in strength
when the fool cannot hear the parable?

34

What good is the puzzle to you
if even when the solution is found,
it is not understood?

35

What good is wisdom without knowledge?
Knowledge without understanding?

36

Should the prince be our ruler
when the king can be found?
How can we be a nation of kings
if we are without strength?

37

The whip that dominates costs nothing,
for the one does rule when the many accept his rule;
and who is the greater king,
the king of men or the Lord of Hosts?

38

Who among us can say that they seek light and illumination
in the Presence of our Elohim?

39

And by the angels of YHVH,
all those who praise Elohim Shaddai
that they would know the good from evil,
shall know truth.

40

Any plan that lacks mercy lacks justice.
