Chapter 9

Sixth Dispensation

Zenos sees the spiritual vision of the sixth dispensation, that of Jesus Christ and his wife Mary Magdalene overseen by Zadkiel the archangel who is John the Baptist. (Compare verses 42-44, 67 to 1 Nephi 5:242-244 RAV, 19:10d-10f OPV and verses 71-80 to 1 Nephi 5:245-257 RAV, 19:11-17 OPV)


1

And it came to pass that I heard again a loud voice from heaven as loud as thunder and sounding as a shofar, saying: Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our Elohima, and the power of His anointed one, the Mashiach HaMashiachb;

2

For Satanc, the accuser of mankind shall be cast down, and the leviathand shall be overcome by the blood of the Lamb;

3

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them, and all the earth below!

4

And it came to pass that the angel of YHVHe said unto me: Come and seef!

5

And I saw as it were a tree of exceeding beauty, and the tree and its fruit was of an exceeding purity;

6

And about the path that did lead to the tree I saw as it were a great mist, and a river of filthy water, and on the other side of that water a great temple dedicated to the leviathan.

7

And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH said unto me: Come and see!

8

And I looked again toward the tree, but she had gone from before my presence, and in her place, I beheld again Shekinahg.

9

And I saw as it were the Heavens open; and the angel of YHVH came down and stood before me; saying: Behold, the woman which thou seest, is the mother of YHVHh, after the manner of the flesh.

10

And I saw as it were Shekinah bearing a child in her arms.

11

And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of YHVH, yea, even the Eternal Father!

12

Yea, behold the love of YHVH which liveth in the hearts of the children of men!

13

And it came to pass that I saw as it were a rod of ironi leading to the fountain of living waters and the tree of life, even the white tree alive in the midst of the House of YHVH, Holiness to YHVH;

14

And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH said unto me: The Tree of Life is Shekinah that bears the fruit of YHVH; and the waters, His mercy.

15

And it came to pass that I saw and beheld the prophet which should prepare the way before Him, wash him in tevilahj;

16

And after that he was washed clean, the Heavens did open, and Ruach Ha’Kodeshk did fall upon Him from the heavens descending.

17

And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH spake unto me, saying: Come and see!

18

And I saw as it were the Lamb of Elohiml, that he was taken by the people; yea, even Elohim Olamm, was judged of the world; and He was lifted up and slain for her sins.

19

And it came to pass that after He was slain, I saw the multitudes of the earth, that they were gathered together to fight against the Lamb and those kaddishn He did call to serve Him;

20

And I saw as it were the multitude of the earth gathered together as it were in that great temple dedicated to the leviathan.

21

And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH came unto me, saying: They that serve the leviathan hath gathered together here to fight against the Lamb and His kaddish.

22

And it came to pass that I saw as it were the temple of the leviathan, which is the pride of the world; and it fell in its haughtiness, and the fall thereof was exceedingly great.

23

And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH spoke unto me, saying: Behold the fountain of filthy water, and the depths thereof, these are the abyss of sheolo;

24

And the mists of darkness are the temptations of Lilithp, which blindeth the eyes, and harden the hearts of the children of men, leading them away that they become lost that they might perish;

25

And the temple of the leviathan is filled with vain imaginations, and the pride of the children of men.

26

And a great and a terrible gulf divides the justice of YHVH, who is the Lamb given in sacrifice from before the beginning of the world, henceforth and forever;

27

And thus shall be the destruction of all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, that shall fight against the Lamb and the kaddish of YHVH!

28

And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH spoke unto me saying: Come and see!

29

And I saw as it were many nations and kingdoms after the order of man,

30

And the angel of YHVH spoke unto me again saying: These are the nations and kingdoms of the Gentiles.

31

And it came to pass that I saw as it were the sands of the sea, and the leviathan rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the names of blasphemy;

32

And it came to pass that he did leadeth mankind into captivity, yea and all did go into captivity;

33

And vengeance was his name, saying: He that killeth by the sword must be killed by the sword!

34

But Israel is to learn patience and faith, for many did I see that were wounded by the sword and did live, and this because of the Mashiach HaMashiach to come.

35

And it came to pass that I saw as it were they which walk in teshuvahq, the kaddish no longer defiled with women, or in other words, transgressing the Torahr of YHVH; for these are virginss.

36

And I saw, as it were, that all they that should follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth, these were redeemed from among mankind, being the first fruits unto Elohim from the Lamb.

37

And it came to pass that in their mouth was found no guile; yea, and they are without fault before the throne of Elohim.

38

And seeing this, the mercy of YHVH, I cried out saying: Thou hast turned away thy judgments, because of thy Son!

39

And the Lamb spoke unto me saying: Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it;

40

For though thou hast little strength, thou hast kept my Word, and hast not denied my name;

41

And because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

42

And it shall come to pass that when Zadkielt shall opened the sixth seal there shall be a great earthquake; and the sun shall become black as the depths of a great well u, and the moon become as bloodu;

43

And the stars of heaven shall fallv unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

44

And the heaven shall depart as a scrollv when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island of the seas shall be moved out of their places.

45

And it came to pass that after these things I saw as it were four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holdingw the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

46

And I saw the angel Moronix ascending from the east, having the seal of Elohim Chayyimy;

47

And it came to pass that he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, who were the four beasts standing on the four corners of the earth, saying: Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our Elohim in their foreheads.

48

And I saw that there should be sealed one hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

49

Of the tribe of Judah should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Reuben should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Gad should be sealed twelve thousand,

50

Of the tribe of Asher should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Naphtali should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh (who is also Dan)z should be sealed twelve thousand.

51

Of the tribe of Simeon should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar should be sealed twelve thousand,

52

Of the tribe of Zabulon should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph should be sealed twelve thousand, and of the tribe of Benjamin should be sealed twelve thousand.

53

And it came to pass that Zadkiel sounded his shofar, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before Elohim, saying to Zadkiel: Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphratesaa.

54

And it shall come to pass that the four angels shall be loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men;

55

And the number of the army of the horsemen were too numerous than I could count, nor could I number them.

56

And it shall come to pass that by these will the third part of mankind be killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which shall be issued out of their mouths;

57

And their power is in their mouth, and upon their tongues, and in their tails; for their tails were like unto serpents whipping about, and their heads with sharp teeth, and with these they do hurt.

58

And it came to pass that the rest of mankind which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood, which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk;

59

Neither repented they of their murdersbb, nor of their priestcraftscc, nor of their fornicationdd, nor of their theftsee.

60

And it came to pass that Zadkiel poured out his vial upon the great rivers and the waters in them dried up.

61

And I saw as it were three unclean spirits leap out from the mouth of the leviathanff and out of the mouth of Cain,

62

And these spirits of abaddongg went about working false miracles unto the kings of the earth and unto the whole world,

63

For they shall gather to battle Elohim Shaddaihh, gathering these together to control all trade and commerce upon the earth;

64

For these shall be they who shall hand the Lamb of YHVH to be sacrificed upon the tree, and knowing not what they do, these shall scourge him and mock him for the sake of the leviathan.

65

But they shall not kill Him, for He is YHVH, and He is the master of life and death;

66

And before He shall be taken up, He shall heal the sick, and the blind He shall cause to see, and even the dead shall He raise;

67

But in the time that He shall choose, He will give up the ghostu gladly that we might live, and on the third dayu shall He take back His own life, for the keys of the sepulchero are His.

68

And it shall come to pass, and the day shall come that the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and every bondman, and every free man shall hide themselves in the densii and in the rocks of the mountains;

69

And these shall say unto the mountains and rocks: Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of They that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;

70

Yea, and these shall say: The great day of His wrath is surely come; and who shall be able to stand?

71

And YHVH Elohimjj shall surely visit all the House of Israel at that day;

72

Some with His voice, because of their righteousness, unto their great joy and salvation;

73

And others, with the thunderings and the lightnings of his power; by tempest, by fire, and by smoke, and vapor of darkness, and by the opening of the earth, and by mountains which shall be carried up.

74

And all these things must surely come, and the rocks of the earth must rend;

75

And because of the groanings of the earth, many of the kings of the isles of the sea shall be wrought upon by Ruach Ha’Kodesh, to exclaim: The Elohim of nature suffers.

76

And those at Jerusalem shall be scourged by all people because they crucify YHVH, and turned their hearts aside, rejecting signs, and wonders, and power and glory of YHVH;

77

And because they turned their hearts aside and have despised Ha’Kadosh Israelkk, they shall wander in the flesh, and perish, and become a hiss and a byword, and be hated among all nations;

78

Nevertheless, when that day cometh that they no more turn aside their hearts against the Ha’Kadosh Israel, then will He remember the covenants which He made to their fathers;

79

Yea, then will He remember the isles of the sea; yea, and all the people which are of the House of Israel, will I gather in, saith YHVH, from the four quarters of the earth;

80

Yea, and all the earth shall see the salvation of YHVH; every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, shall be blessed.
