Chapter 1

The call to repentance from Isaiah the prophet to the Aiyanthi; around 700 BC.


1

I am Emalō, wife of Vovfen, and I write again that I may abridge this Little Book of Seers, which we have deemed fit to include in this short history. For it was that there came a prophet unto us whose name was Aiysaiyah. And this prophet was a great leader of the Yahūdi to the south. Now, he gave us these teachings, for our ancestors at this time were not wicked, but neither were they righteous. Now, this Aiysaiyah desired to prepare the way that Yōhannaz may at some future day arrive unto us in peace. And he was given this task by Thūnoraz Aiyseir. And he did that which he was commanded. Therefore, he came and taught this people, and they received many good and righteous teachings from him, insomuch that many of them turned back unto righteousness, forsaking their paths of idolatry.

2

Therefore, this record is a record of his teachings and the teachings of the other seers who were with him.

3

It is, down from where I come, oh you people, that Yeshuah Mashiach has set his hand forth to prophesy against those people of the south, for they have come up in exceedingly sore wickedness and perversion insomuch that they have turned entirely away from his precepts and the precepts of YHVH Elohim which are that man might be free to choose as he wishes. For it is where I come that the priest which are of the lineage of Aharon come up in pride against their neighbors and they smite on their cheeks any who seek the face of YHVH and in so doing, they have damned themselves unto Sheol. Oh, wicked priests of Ba'al who sell themselves for that which will canker! They have usurped the ways of Yah Elohim and have cursed themselves for their greed.

4

Shall you do this yourselves, children of Shem? See to it that you do not, for in the day that you do, you shall be swept off from the face of the earth as will happen with the generations of the children of Yisra'el, for they are wicked exceeding wickedness, and I know, oh people of Shem that their wickedness shall wax greater still, and that in that day, YHVH Elohim shall be through with them and their wicked ways and he shall cause your people and the people of the north parts to come up against them! And this I have proclaimed unto them in their streets and in their synagogues, and for this they have cast me out as a vagabond. Oh, wicked people of the south, they sell themselves for jewels and clothing and fine paints, and they have corrupted the Ways of YHVH Elohim.

5

Shall you be like unto them, oh people of Shem? Do not, I warn, for you shall surely perish. It is for this reason that YHVH Elohim causes me to come up against you and your wickedness. For he knows your hearts and sees that you still have the desires of your ancestor Shem inside of you. Wake up, oh you people, and come unto that tree which you have named Ash! For this tree is a tree like no other and it shall give you life everlasting.

6

Be not a wicked and shameful people like the people of the south, for it has ever been their lot to spit upon the things of righteousness. For it was in the days of our father Moshe who was also in the days of your father Elohizar! That he went and freed the children of Yacov from their imprisonment. And this did YHVH Elohim that they might be free to choose righteousness. But in the moment that they were set free they turned unto paths of wickedness. They began worshiping the idol of YHVH and cast him in their image. And in so doing they caused a great wickedness to fall upon them. For in that very day, YHVH Elohim caused a great dearth to come over them and hard labors were they made to carry, it is true, for they were caused to bear the weight of the Torah of Moshe which in this very day they still do follow. And this is a hard law, oh people of Shem, for it is sent by Elohim to humble them and make them submissive before the coming of the great YHVH, that great Redeemer who shall come.

7

Yet in this very thing, they have once more come up in the pride of their hearts! For they have received a hard and loathsome burden to carry which are the Torah of Moshe, but in so doing they have taken this taskmaster law and have come up in exceedingly great pride, for they claim that YHVH Elohim has given them these laws to be set apart from the world, for the remainder of the world is wickedness and dross to them.

8

Do you believe this thing to be true, oh seed of Shem? Is your father not Elohizar, that great seer who brought your people unto the lands of our forefather Noah? You know that he is. And did this Elohizar in his day needs create a law to humble and submissify his people? I also say that he did not, for you do not follow the Torah of Moshe, for you are not Yisra'el.117 Nevertheless, you are no less covenant righteousness, for you have YHVH Elohim to be your leader and your foreword. And in so doing, you have become a righteous sect. Nevertheless, you must repent, for though, you do not follow the Torah of Moshe, yet you have still come up in the pride of your hearts, for you see the children of Yisra'el that they are wicked and that they are bound by hard laws and you mock them and say that you are glad that you are not as they are.

9

Oh, you fools. I say unto you the same thing I say unto them. Be not wicked. Forsake your pride. You are no better than they, and if you come up in pride as they have, then YHVH Elohim has caused that I shall bind you under laws as they are bound under laws. And this I will do that you may be humbled. You are not more righteous than they simply for the fact that your ancestors needed not Torah of Moshe to govern them. Nevertheless, if you continue to come up in pride, I have been given authority to bind you under the same laws which they now face. And you shall hiss at me and gnash your teeth, nevertheless you shall be bound by these laws, which laws require strict sacrifice unto the Elohim. And that sacrifice is the firstborn of the flock. For now you give only of a broken heart and a contrite spirit. And this is the fullness, for a man needs no else to come unto his creator. Nevertheless, shall I bind you, you shall be as they and must needs sacrifice of your living wage and sacrifice of your time and your generations shall mourn because of your wickedness.

10

Nevertheless, I say that if you lower yourselves into the depths of humility and indeed sacrifice with that broken heart and contrite spirit, you will not need suffer these burdensome laws which the children of Yisra'el now face. And in this, your children shall rejoice, for you shall be led unto lands of exceeding righteousness, and you shall be made kings and queens unto YHVH Elohim. For you shall not be burdened by these laws and shall be free to choose for yourselves. And if you come down into great humility and repentance, you shall find that your ancestors do walk and talk with you and that they will teach you. For as of now, you speak with demons and consort with vagabonds. But when you do this, you will talk again with your ancestors and with your Elohim, which is YHVH Elohim.

11

And when you do this, you will again be led unto righteousness everlasting. And these pastures of righteousness shall give you manna which you shall subsist off of. For you will be like unto the children of Yisra'el in that YHVH Elohim shall bless you in the daily, and he will cause that miracles shall not cease from among you, and that you will be a blessed and a happy people like unto your ancestors.

12

Look unto the people of Elohizar, oh, you children of Shem. Were they not stood upright in all things? They were. For they needed not any sort of humbling but were sufficiently humbled. For the wicked part of your people caused a sore vexing to come upon them. And this was grievous to them for a time. Nevertheless, Elohizar delivered them from bondage and came and set them free from their captivity, and he led them into the wilderness where they began to seek the face of their creator, and in so doing, all, yes, every single one of them became prophets and seers unto YHVH Elohim. And when they arrived in their land, which they called Promise, they rejoiced greatly, for they had come down in great humility unto the words of YHVH Elohim and they were all the better for it.

13

Therefore, I say unto you, oh people of Shem that you be like unto your ancestors of old. For they needed not any humbling but allowed that YHVH Elohim be their leader and their guide. And in this Elohizar, that great seer gave them not burdensome laws, for they needed none. All that need was required for them was a pure and a contrite heart, for they loved their Elohim and sought to follow his precepts until the very end.

14

Thus, I say unto you, oh people of Shem. Awake and arise. Seek the face of YHVH Elohim that you might be like unto them. And in the very day that you do, you will begin to see as you once did, and you will not be blind in your minds as are the children of Yisra'el, and none will come up against you in war, for you shall have all things in common and therefore, have nothing of value to offer an aggressor. Therefore, I cry unto you, oh people of Shem, that you see to do this thing, for in the very day that you do, you shall surely be led in all righteousness forever, and you will receive unto you the blessings of your ancestors. Thus, it is that I am come against you to prophecy this thing, that you come away from your wickedness and seek the things of righteousness. Therefore, I cry unto you to repent, for thus is my call.

15

Now, it is recorded that these were the words which Aiysaiyah said when he had come from the lands to the south. And we know that he went about preaching much righteousness among the people insomuch that nearly all of them became righteous like unto their ancestors. And thus it was that when this mighty change had occurred among the people of Elōhizar that this Aiysaiyah was given the key to open up the many record chambers which had been hidden from the people. And there came a one from among the people whose name was Eliāzar. And he was a descendant of that Elōhizar of whom has been spoken. And he came forth from among the people to teach them the things of his fathers, for he alone had the sacred language which allowed him to read these texts. And thus, he and this Aiysaiyah went about teaching the people of all the things within the texts found in the record vault.

16

Now, it was that Aiysaiyah dwelt with us for the space of sixteen moons, and in that time, taught us many things. And under his guidance, the people of Elōhizar became righteous and delightsome like unto their fathers. And this pleased Aiysaiyah well, for his people were indeed stiff-necked and heart-hearted insomuch that they hardly listened unto his words, and he was indeed a prophet of Aiy. Nevertheless, the children of Svemaz listened, for they were not hard of heart, and they began going again up in the Ways of Righteousness, so Sydeir was called by Aiysaiyah.

17

Now, we do not know of all the works of Aiysaiyah among the people of the north, for when he had left our habitation, he took his ministrings among the people farther north, and we know not where he had any success among those people as he did with ours. However, we count his guidance as a great blessing, for, from him and his teachings sprung many prophets and seers among our people, and we make record of them and their doings, for thus is the remainder of the Book of Seers.
