And now, I shall speak
unto all those that are wise,
if you would but listen:

2

And what is wisdom but to know good from evil?
Was this not the sin of mankind?

3

No, but the sin was to take before that thing was given;
therefore, it was their shame,
and the shame of Adam could not be hidden.

4

And this, O Judah, is the secret of sin:
For Adam and Eve were told not to take for themselves,
and yet they did take before their time.

5

They did know,
yet they did not understand;
and therefore the adversary did deceive them;

6

And thus, they could not rescue themselves;
for they understood not
what should come to pass,
and thus is mankind cast from the garden.

7

Likewise, O Judah, was Israel taken,
and so too shall Judah be thrown down;

8

And here is the sign that these things must come to pass:
When evil was given,
evil was taken,

9

And when the widows and the fatherless were hungry,
they were not fed
even though you had an abundance of food,
O Judah.

10

What nations should want to be oppressed by their neighbor?
Who that is weak wishes to be ruled by those that are stronger?

11

Where is the righteous man that has not taken from his neighbor?
Come now and defend our boarders!

12

But there are none that shall come to your aid this time,
O Judah;

13

For you did not understand
the things of old;
therefore, you could not foresee
that what is to come.

14

Who can come and rescue
the people that cannot see
things as they truly are?

15

But not all is in vain,
I shall tell you of another sign,
O Judah:

16

When evil is shut up,
and wickedness is bound up,
and righteousness does abound,
the light of YHVH shall shine forth as the sun.

17

And it will come to pass
that truth shall fill the world,
and the world shall be see
no more war,

18

But the strong will protect the weak,
and those with food shall feed all that are hungry.

19

And this shall be
because the Father shall come in the flesh,
even the son of the Eternal Father,

20

And though He will be our king,
we will not be His people,
and we will despise Him,
and mock Him,
and send Him away.

21

And He will teach us,
and will heal the sick,
but His deeds will be judged impure;

22

He who gave us the Torah,
through the hands of Moses,
shall we reject and cast out
and give unto our enemies
that He should be put to death:

23

But He is our Father,
even the Father of our salvation,
and He will take upon Himself all our sins,

24

And this He will do because of His great love for us,
and for our father, Abraham
and our mother, Sarah.

25

And I have seen that He will return to us,
for He is the master of life and death;
and though He will die,
we cannot kill him
for He is our Elohim!

26

And He should rise on the third day
and take many up with Him.

27

And in the last days He will come again,
even as He did leave they that loved Him
when He did walk the earth.

28

And though the children of our Father shall proclaim His peace,
they shall endure violence;

29

Yet this is but for a time;
and when Zion is come into them,
their peace shall be so great
that all will fear them:

30

And there will be no more wars against Zion,
for her daughters will teach the children to see
and the fathers will teach the children to know,

31

And all that would make war against Zion
will fear that their people would see them,

32

For should they see Zion
they would through down their swords
and covenant never to shed blood upon the earth again,

33

And what can you say, O Judah of this?
Will you be Zion?
No.

34

And so it shall be that Judah will fall to her enemies,
that the blood of Israel shall be spread among all the earth,
that the salvation of YHVH must come.
