Chapter 15


1

I Mash have received a vision, and what a curious vision it is.

2

I beheld seven mountains that they stood tall, each one taller than the last. The first stood at seven cubits tall and upon it stood a statue of a mountain goat.

3

And upon the second, which stood at a grand seventeen cubits tall, was a sheep.

4

The third stood at twenty one cubits and upon it was a large heifer.

5

Upon the fourth was an oxen, and that mountain stood at twenty six cubits.

6

The Fifth had also an oxen but two sheep, and the height thereof was twenty eight cubits.

7

I beheld a moose upon the sixth mountain and grand it was, for I beheld it standing at thirty two cubits.

8

The seventh stood barren, for upon it with neither horse nor ass, mule nor he-goat. Nevertheless it stood the grandest, for it was forty two cubits in height.

9

And it came to pass that a malach of YHVH came unto me saying: What you see before you are as seven nations which shall rise and fall.

10

Proclaim to them repentance, oh son of man.

11

Say unto them, you mountain which has upon it a goat, I cry unto you to repent, for you are come and gone but within seven days. On the first day you shall be wise and prudent in the land.

12

On the second day you shall eat of the fruit of the vine and drink the fruit of the field.

13

Upon the third day you shall have become drunk with your merrymaking and you shall have need of provender.

14

On the fourth day you shall be likened unto a slothful servant, for it has been given you seven days to accomplish your task and you have labored only one.

15

And upon the fifth day, your master shall send unto you a he goat that you might have forgiveness of your sins, a he goat as a scape goat.

16

And on the sixth day you shall slay that goat. Were you not commanded to turn it loose into the wilderness?

17

And on the seventh day, oh mountain of the world, you shall fall, and great shall be your fall.

18

Therefore, I have against you, says YHVH (Given instruction through the Malach). Your cities shall be burnt as pitch and your fields shall lay desolate and empty, and neither the earth nor the sky shall give of her provender.

19

But seek YHVH who is to come and it shall be well with you.

20

And say thus unto the second mountain who is likened unto a nation.

21

I, YHVH, have against you, for you have sought the councils of men. You have put as your head a dumb sheep who can neither see for himself nor see for a nation.

22

Thus says YHVH unto you, oh you mountain who has raised up unto it a sheep, I have against you, for you have raised up unto yourselves sheep that are like dumb lambs, and they go whithersoever they desire.

23

You shall stand a total of seven days and great shall be your fall.

24

Upon the first day you shall seek other nations to be your heads.

25

Upon the second day you shall give money unto strangers that you might get gain of yourselves.

26

And the third day you shall become drunk like unto the first mountain and you shall be wasted and shall wander in the streets.

27

Upon the fourth day you shall be as salt that has lost its savour, for you were to have been the salt of the earth, nevertheless, you are as salt that has lost its savor.

28

And upon the fifth day you shall wake up screaming and crying in your beds, for your husbands and your children have left you, and you shall have want of provender, nevertheless, there are none to give you substance.

29

And in the sixth day you shall become as a harlot and shall seek other nations for your provender that you might be provided for.

30

And upon the seventh day you will collapse under your own weight, being altogether helpless, drunk and idle, and the skin shall cling to your bones and you shall be no more.

31

Now, say unto the third mountain that has upon her a heifer.

32

YHVH has not against you, save but a little. You have been wise and are worthy of your stewardship. Because you have been wise with what YHVH has given you, you shall receive an increase and shall be taken up unto the bosom of YHVH.

33

You have not spent your night with harlots nor have you wasted yourselves with drunken grains.

34

I see you as you labor in the field, says YHVH, I see you as you bring upon yourselves persecution from those who should be your allies.

35

I say unto them, I have against them, and they shall stand for but a day and they shall be wiped out, and you my third mountain shall be spared, and that heifer upon you shall be a red heifer which shall be for you an atoning sacrifice, and all shall be well with you.

36

Now, say unto the fourth mountain, the one with the oxen. Say unto her, I shall take from you your oxen and give unto you a goat, and unto you it shall be a scape-goat, for you have need of such.

37

You have spent your days with Azazel and have spent your nights with Lilith. Care you only for combinations?

38

Oaths and pacts are your elohim. Not Elohim Savaot.

39

Therefore, I have against you. You shall fall and swift shall be your fall.

40

How long shall I YHVH suffer the persecution of my prophets and my seers? How long shall YHVH suffer the cries of widows and orphans?

41

Their cries call out from the dust as a medium. They condemn you and your practices. I shall fell you in but a day, says YHVH.

42

Speak these words unto the fifth mountain, the one with the oxen and two sheep.

43

I YHVH shall not take from you your oxen and two sheep. I say unto you, be fruitful and till the earth with the oxen and I shall cause those sheep to produce a flock unto you. Labor and be generous and I shall surely give you an increase.

44

Speak unto the Sixth mountain who is likened unto a nation. Say unto him to seek my face, and seeking he shall find. He is lost as a sore infant, he wanders about with

45

nowhere to turn. I shall come to you, I shall be for you a blanket through the storm and a pillar during high-noon.

46

When the sun shall blaze her fiery heat, you shall not be affected, and all your people shall be spared.

47

Now at last, I speak unto the seventh mountain, which stands the tallest. You have need of neither goat nor oxen, sheep nor ass, for you are likened unto a great nation. You shall be likened unto a fallen mountain that when the earth quakes and trembles falls down because it has no foundation.

48

You shall be likened unto one who has milk to drink and honey to consume, but throws it away and drinks not the milk.

49

You are likened unto one who has maps but has lost his way. A one who has guides and signs but follows his own ways.

50

Such a one cannot stand. Such a one must fall.

51

Thus says YHVH.

52

And when I, Mash, had seen all these things I wept for the sakes of nations which shall fall.

53

And I cried unto Adonai all the day and all the night that mercy might come upon such great nations.

54

And YHVH came unto me saying: Mash, for your faith I will preserve a remnant of all these nations that never shall these nations fall in their entirety. For when the days come that these four nations shall face tempests and earthquakes, I shall preserve mine elect out of them that they shall be spared, Thus says YHVH.

55

I Mash cannot write more of this thing, YHVH is a great name, too great for me to write. Thus I make an end of all my sayings.

56

Be fruitful. Multiply and we shall meet at the great and last day.
